10: Chapter 10 Holding Your Hand!
(Revised Chapter) 10: Chapter 10 Holding Your Hand!
(Revised Chapter) Li Chen saw Ye Chuxue rolling her eyes at him, so he casually took her tender, boneless hand.
At first, Ye Chuxue was reluctant and struggled a bit.
However, she was unable to break free and had to let Li Chen lead her.
Li Chen looked at Ye Chuxue and said with a smile, “Let’s go for a walk on the sports field!”
Ye Chuxue wanted to refuse, but she swallowed her words and, as if possessed, nodded her head instead.
After walking for a while, Li Chen suddenly asked, “Chuxue, do you think our current situation is like something described in the Classic of Poetry?”
Ye Chuxue blinked her lively big eyes, like a curious baby, and asked, “What is written in the Classic of Poetry?”
Li Chen cleared his throat and said solemnly, “Life and death are vast, promises made with you.
Holding your hand, to grow old together!”
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Ye Chuxue’s expression involuntarily paused.

One of the boys wearing a number 8 jersey elbowed his companion in a number 13 jersey.
“Shijie, look, isn’t that Li Chen and Ye Chuxue from your class?”
This boy in the number 13 jersey, called Wang Shijie, had been pursuing Ye Chuxue.
Unfortunately, Ye Chuxue had never even given him a proper look.
Now, seeing the girl of his dreams being led by the hand by another man, his teeth itched with rage.
Suddenly, he grabbed a basketball and furiously threw it towards the direction of Li Chen…
