As Qin Feng spoke, he returned to Gu Nianshen’s side and reached around his neck before pulling him in the direction of the basketball court.
However, Gu Nianshen did not budge as he looked at Xi Xia. “Isn’t Aunt Hong with you?”
Their conversation was as calm as still water.
There had barely been any conflict between them after all these years.
That was why everyone always thought they had such a strong connection with each other as they would be able to understand one another simply with the sharing of a glance.
Xi Xia smiled. Her lips were so dry that blood was seeping through the cracks.
“It’s alright. I can take care of myself. Don’t worry about me.” She shook her head gently.
Gu Nianshen did not reply as he glanced at Xi Xia’s jersey.
“They should have saved you a seat. Go on over,” he said calmly.
“Alright.” Xi Xia nodded as she began walking away slowly. She seemed extremely weak.
Once she had walked far away, Qin Feng stopped smiling as he frowned at Gu Nianshen. “Why is Xi Xia wearing your jersey?”
Gu Nianshen’s facial expression immediately turned cold. “Shouldn’t I be asking the question?”
He shrugged as he pushed Qin Feng’s hand away and began walking away.
“How am I supposed to know? I thought you were the one who requested it.” Qin Feng went after him.
“The match is starting soon. Where are you going?” Qin Feng asked confusedly when he saw that Gu Nianshen was not stopping.
Gu Nianshen acted as if he had not heard Qin Feng as he continued walking.
Worried that Li Nanmu and the others might panic, Qin Feng turned around and was about to search for Li Nanmu.
“Nianshen, what’s going on?” Li Nanmu suddenly appeared.
He walked over to Qin Feng as they looked in Gu Nianshen’s direction.
“Why did you give Xi Xia the number ‘one’ jersey?” Qin Feng asked.
“I was only in charge of informing Flay the sizes. He distributed the jerseys to everyone’s respective family members. Everyone received two sets. Why did you say that I gave them to Xi Xia?” Li Nanmu said with a frown. “Besides, Xi Xia is like a sister to Nianshen. There’s nothing wrong with her wearing his family’s jersey,” he continued.
“Nianshen and Lin Yiqian are all over the news now. There are so many people and paparazzi around today. Do you think it would be funny if news of the love triangle broke out?” Qin Feng raised his brows.
“First of all, I am not responsible for such a misunderstanding. I was only in charge of making the orders for the jerseys by telling Flay how many players we have. Moreover, I don’t think it’s that big a deal. Didn’t Xi Xia used to wear the same jerseys as we did?” Li Nanmu defended himself.
In their opinion, even if Xi Xia could not become Gu Nianshen’s wife, she was still like his sister. Therefore, there was nothing out of place.
Whilst the two spoke, Gu Nianshen had returned. He was now wearing a white jersey, unlike the one he had on before.
It was the Black Horse’s original jersey. The number on the back did not have any red edges and there also were no red patterns around the collar.
“Nianshen, why did you change your jersey?” Li Nanmu asked unhappily.
Their team jerseys would no longer be identical.
Qin Feng looked at Gu Nianshen knowingly. “It’s fine. It doesn’t matter what he wears as long as we stop dragging the start of the game. The judges are getting impatient.”
