Chapter 5:
'Wow! Chuchu, did you see? Xizhe made another three-point shot, he's so cool!' Sweetly shook my arm crazily, getting so excited that her voice was on the verge of cracking.
However, amidst the screams of the crowd, her high-pitched voice was drowned out.
I covered my ears and moved further away from her.
As I watched the tall figure shining brightly among the group of black and wheat-skinned players on the basketball court, I felt a little guilty.
Ahem, I simply enjoy watching male college students play basketball, it's not like I'm really surrendering to them.
Moreover, I'm not here to see Xizhe, I'm here to see...
Number 8 in the white jersey from the Computer Science Department just passed the ball to his teammate, coincidentally catching my gaze.
He smiled and waved at me.
Huh? He's here too.
I was a bit surprised and waved back at him.
Yes, that's right, I'm here to see him, it has nothing to do with Xizhe.
Before I could put my hand down, Xizhe, wearing a black jersey, followed Number 8's line of sight and looked over at me.
He seemed to freeze for a moment upon seeing me, then quickly averted his gaze with a cold expression.
That familiar feeling of indignation surged within me.
What is this expression he's making?! Does he despise me? I don't despise him at all!! I clenched my fist tightly.
'Chuchu, why do you have a face like you want to eat someone?' Guagua said in a slightly frightened tone.
'No, no, I just saw a disgusting bug a moment ago, I already squashed it,' I quickly managed my expression and smiled back.
Dao Dao blinked at me, saying, 'Hey, that handsome guy who waved at you earlier, Xu Jiahe, is quite famous in the Computer Science Department.
Come on, confess, how do you know each other, what's your relationship?' I waved my hand and explained, 'Don't misunderstand, Xu Senior was a volunteer during the start of the semester and helped me carry my luggage.
We chatted a bit on the way and exchanged contact information, but we don't really talk much.' 'Oh~ I see~' Guagua and Dao Dao exchanged a glance and elongated their tones with an ambiguous meaning.
Just then, Sweetly exclaimed, 'Ah ah ah!
"What happened to Nan Zhe and Xu Jiahe, they suddenly started scoring goals like crazy! I love the battle between these two handsome guys!" I also turned my gaze to the basketball court.
I saw Nan Zhe dribbling the ball smoothly, but he was stopped by Xu Jiahe.
The atmosphere seemed tense, and sparks flew from their eyes as they locked gaze.
Suddenly, Nan Zhe made a move, and Xu Jiahe tried to block him to the left, but he was deceived by Nan Zhe's fake move.
The audience held their breath as Nan Zhe rushed to the basket, leaped up, grabbed the hoop with one hand, and executed a beautiful dunk! "So cool!" "Wow, amazing!" Cheers and screams erupted.
However, the dark eyes of the people remained calm, as if the dunk was just a piece of cake for him.
Tsk, B king.
I rolled my eyes.
While returning to defense, Nan Zhe seemed to glance in my direction.
He was provoking me.
I stared back without backing down.
Just then, the electronic voice rang in my ears again.
[Countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...] I froze.
No way, is this for real?! When the countdown reached "0", my heart felt like it was being pricked by countless needles, causing me pain and making it difficult to breathe.
My vision darkened, and I clutched my chest, weakly collapsing to the ground amid the crowd's exclamation.
It hurts...
[Solution: Kiss Nan Zhe for 5 seconds.] The cold electronic voice repeated the solution.
"Chu Chu! Qu Zhichu! What's wrong with you? Don't scare us!" My roommates panicked and shouted my name.
The unusual situation at the sideline drew the attention of the people on the basketball court, and in a daze, I saw Nan Zhe drop the ball and run towards me with a serious expression.
"Qu Zhichu!" He knelt down beside me, his deep eyes filled with worry, no longer the confident figure on the basketball court.
I felt Nan Zhe hold me in his arms and look down at me.
[Solution...] It hurt so much that with the last bit of strength I had, I lifted my head and kissed his lips.
It felt so soft.
"!!" Ripples appeared in Nan Zhe's eyes, like a pebble dropped in a clear spring.
After the pain receded like a tide, I heard a gasp from the crowd.
Oh no, I actually kissed my archenemy.
I have no principles.
Nan Zhe will definitely think I have a crush on him, he'll be so smug! Lost in my wild thoughts, my consciousness was engulfed in darkness.
