"I actually feel like that makes a lot of sense." Luo Qianqi said seriously to Qin Nuan, "Do you think Elvis stole Han Chen’s girlfriend? And now Han Chen wants to get back at him?"
"Did your brain get waterlogged while you were showering?" Qin Nuan slapped Luo Qianqian hard on the head, "Do you even know that Han Chen doesn’t have a girlfriend?"
Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, "How would I know? I’m not his crazy fan."
As soon as she finished speaking, a few girls in front of them turned around and glared at them, but Luo Qianqian kept her composure and continued, "I call myself Fairy, only people with such distinctive qualities would like him."
Qin Nuan struggled to hold back a laugh, but seeing the looks from the girls in front, she just nodded silently.
Seeing those people turn back around, Luo Qianqian added, "They would like Yhan Miyuan."
"Buzz off." Qin Nuan, looking composed, knew this kid wasn’t talking about Han Chen.
"But speaking of which, I don’t understand why they are clashing? I’ll ask about it in class tomorrow." Luo Qianqian pursed her lips, it seemed that the first time they encountered Elvis, he was playing basketball with Han Chen? They didn’t join the crowd then, and later after eating, he stopped them to ask for directions.
"I suddenly feel like your encounters are all orchestrated," Qin Nuan frowned deeply.
Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, who could say otherwise?
How he always managed to find her among so many people, pretending not to see them, and with face blindness, tsk tsk.
Hearing a sudden whistle from the basketball court, Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan hurriedly put their heads together to look, then saw Xi Ming putting on a jersey, the same as Elvis’s jersey, only Elvis was number 13, and he was number 5.
"Hey, don’t you think it’s funny how Xi Ming and Elvis standing together makes their jersey numbers look like ’SB’?" Luo Qianqian covered her mouth and giggled.
Qin Nuan looked speechless, could you speak up a bit? Let those girls in front hear you.
But still nodded, she understood, they indeed looked alike when put together.
"Flying Little Policewoman, what are you doing here? Isn’t my Boss playing basketball so cool?" Qiu Jie suddenly patted Luo Qianqian on the shoulder, Luo Qianqian turned around, looked at his jersey, incredulous, "You are in the basketball team too?"
The style of the jersey on his body was clearly identical to the ’SB’ duo below.
"No, this is our own team’s jersey. Did you see the two handsome guys below? Your department’s foreign hottie and the student council president joined our basketball team because of our unique jerseys, hehe." Qiu Jie said proudly.
Luo Qianqian then realized with a start, she thought so, how long had Elvis been at the school to get into the basketball team, and wasn’t it said that freshmen didn’t play?
"The ones they are up against are our school’s basketball team. Did you see the hottest one, the former campus hottie, Han Chen, who’s now the basketball team captain. He’s approached the blonde hottie several times, to which the hottie always responds, ’Beat me first, then we’ll talk.’ Isn’t that super cool? I’d marry him if I were a girl." Qiu Jie went on and on, but Luo Qianqian caught on to the key point.
"You mean, Han Chen approached Elvis to get him to join the school basketball team?"
Qiu Jie, as if it was the most natural thing in the world, "Of course, but the handsome guy turned him down... hey, is his name Elvis?"
Luo Qianqian looked exasperated, "What else?"
"He asked to have ’Knight’ printed on his jersey?" Qiu Jie scratched his head, "I thought his parents were being fashionable, why didn’t they just use ’Prince’ instead, it’s much better."
Luo Qianqian was stunned, knight meant guardian.
"Then you might as well take an English name like ’Husband,’ how sweet would that be for the girls to call you?" Qin Nuan looked at Qiu Jie speechlessly, while Luo Qianqian quite agreed with Qin Nuan’s suggestion, even a real prince wouldn’t choose such an English name, right?
Passed the milk to Qin Nuan, holding a bottle of water, Luo Qianqian smiled at Qin Nuan, "It looks like there’s no need for tomorrow, we can just ask him later."
Seeing the mineral water in Luo Qianqian’s hand, Qin Nuan understood her meaning, smiled, and nodded.
She turned to ask Qiu Jie, "When does the game end?"
Qiu Jie, full of disdain, said, "The Boss and the blonde handsome guy are both playing, so who cares if it’s a basketball team or not? They only have to admit defeat, right?"
Luo Qianqian, hearing ’Boss’, had an embarrassed look on her face and pulled out the water from Qin Nuan’s embrace, "Looks like we’ll have to buy some more water in a bit."
Qin Nuan showed great understanding, after all, it wasn’t good for two acquaintances to offer just one bottle of water.
Actually, the worry was completely unnecessary. After all, there were plenty of girls by the court, would they lack a bottle of water? It’s just that they didn’t want to accept it and didn’t want to give the girls watching the game any fantasies.
Enjoying the moment, Luo Qianqian squeezed through the crowd with her petite frame and made it to the front, seeing Xi Ming shooting from outside the three-point line and quickly shouted, "Go for it!"
Swish! The ball went through the net cleanly. Following the sound, Xi Ming turned his head, saw her, was momentarily taken aback, then waved at the person waiting on the side to substitute him, walked over to Luo Qianqian, casually took the mineral water from her embrace, and smiled, "It’s for me, right?"
Luo Qianqian quickly nodded, while numerous gazes behind her seemed to bore holes into her back.
Xi Ming never accepting water from girls had become a constant in everyone’s minds, plus he seldom played on the court since his club wasn’t really a basketball team. But what brought about Luo Qianqian as this rare exception?
Feeling Luo Qianqian’s helpless frown, Xi Ming rubbed her head, "It’s nice to have a little sister."
Didn’t Xi Ming only have one younger brother called Xi Meng? How did he suddenly have a little sister?
Besides, upon closer inspection, this girl indeed looked quite young; thus, the girls’ guards were slowly lowered, thinking it was alright as long as she wasn’t his girlfriend.
Luo Qianqian knew that Xi Ming was helping her out of a tight spot, otherwise, who knows what kind of revenge she could have faced.
"Hehe, not for free though, remember to buy me some candy," Luo Qianqian blinked, signaling that she understood his intentions.
Elvis, seeing Luo Qianqian chatting happily with Xi Ming at the sideline, also made a shot, then without looking, walked towards them, and took the remaining bottle of water from Luo Qianqian’s embrace, "Why do you have time to come watch?" His tone was normal, other than an unusual face, his voice sounded like any typical citizen.
The ball hit the backboard and spun a few rounds on the rim before it went into the net and scored.
Luo Qianqian pouted, "I have something for you," seeming totally oblivious to the anomaly.
Then, feeling the hostilities from the girls behind her, she quickly changed her statement, "I mean that notebook you borrowed last time."
Just as Elvis was about to respond, Xi Ming quickly replied with a smile, "That’s not good enough, borrowing notes from a kid. Do you need me to tutor you too?"
"Forget it," Elvis got the hint, hurriedly took off his jersey, and looked toward the people on the court, "I’m leaving now, we’ll continue next time."
Even without looking at Han Chen, who had been waiting for him, he grabbed his jersey, the coat, phone, and wallet placed aside, and followed Luo Qianqian and Xi Ming as they left.
Han Chen clenched her fists, her neat row of white teeth biting into her tender lips, "Next time, I will defeat you guys."
