Chapter 178
Su Yuanzhou also has his own plans.
In front of Su Qiuge, he won’t be dulled by Xie Xinglin.
He’s gotta let her know that this little pretty face is a chicken compared to her brother.
Those who were watching the game on the court immediately felt that the atmosphere on the court had changed.
The tension between Xie Xinglin and Su Yuanzhou changed from the initially turbulent to the now a direct clash. They did not hide their hostility to each other at all; both unwilling to back down
Many people in the venue realized the sudden change in the atmosphere, so the screams became more intense.
On the court, Xie Xingling was calm but no less flashy. The red jersey was soaked with sweat, and his whole person seemed relaxed but sharp. When shooting, the stars on the pink hair tie on his wrist collide together, making it all the more dazzling.
Many people have noticed this pink hair tie.
As everyone knows, boys with girlfriends usually have hair ties on their wrists. This is equivalent to telling other girls that this boy is already taken, so don’t they dare go to talk to him.
“Was it just me… or did anyone else see the pink thing on the school hearthrob’s wrist? Is that a girl’s hair tie?”
“…I think I saw it too. Fuck, his youth is over.”
“Maybe it’s just his?”
“Are you stupid? Have you ever seen a boy with a pink hair tie?”
“Don’t think too much about it. I think I’ve heard that he has a younger sister. Maybe there are too many girls chasing him, so he borrowed one from his sister to discourage them.”
“I- I guess that makes sense.”
At the end of the first half of the game, Xie Xinglin was slightly ahead of Su Yuanzhou. After all, Su Yuanzhou was provoked by him and therefore made some inevitable mistakes. But the overall cooperation of the 12th class was better, so the score was still indistinguishable.
When it was over, Xie Xinglin wiped his sweat and looked towards the outside of the court.
Every time a goal was scored, Xie Xinglin didn’t pay attention to the cheers and shouts of those people, but only subconsciously looked in Su Qiuge’s direction.
It’s useless if others think he’s cool. He has to let her know.
But what is she doing?
Xie Xinglin leaned on the basketball hoop and looked up in that direction.
He watched Su Qiuge sit in front of a simple booth with a small sign that wrote “Drinks & Peanuts” the whole time, happily scanning the QR codes of the boys who went to buy water after exercising, not focusing on him at all.
Xie Xinglin stared at her for a while, and his face turned sour. At this moment, someone walked in his direction and handed him something.
Xie Xinglin looked down at the bottle of iced mineral water in front of him, sweat slipping from his forehead to his jawbone, hormones radiated from all over his body.
But in this moment there was an inexplicable sharpness in his eyes, which made Lin Luoyu’s heart tighten slightly when she handed him the water.
When he was playing on the court just now, her eyes fell on him the whole time.
When she was in school before, she had never seen Xie Xinglin play, and she never knew that a boy’s every move could be so attractive. He had always been the focus of the entire stadium, making everyone else seem like extras.
Thinking of this, Lin Luoyu said softly, “I, I just bought an extra bottle of water. You…”
Xie Xinglin stared at her for a moment, and before she could finish speaking, he said calmly, “I don’t need it. You can give it to someone else.”
After saying this to her, the tall boy passed by her without giving her an extra look. He walked straight to the booth in the distance next to the basketball court.
Lin Luoyu was slightly taken aback after being rejected.
She furrowed her brows, and couldn’t help but squeeze the mineral water bottle in her hand. And then, reluctantly, she turned her head while following Xie Xinglin closely with her eyes.
At the halftime of the basketball game, Wen Mingming went to the toilet. But a lot of people came to buy water during this time, so Su Qiuge reluctantly took over her shift for her.
The crowds were very upbeat at this time. Su Quige didn’t think that these people were really willing to buy these things at double the price. She scanned the code frantically.
Finally, when most of the people had gone, Su Qiuge found that there was only one bottle of water left.
She marveled internally, Wen Mingming is really clever. She unscrewed the cap of the bottled water and took a sip.
At this time, there was an extra pair of sneakers in front of her. Su Qiuge looked up and saw Xie Xinglin.
The baby hairs on the boy’s forehead were soaked with sweat with a few strands clinging to his forehead. The red jersey made him look full of youth, but it made his long and narrow eyes look even deeper, filled with sultriness.
Xie Xinglin looked down at Su Qiuge for a while, and asked casually, “Is there any water left?”
Su Qiuge was startled, then raised the bottled water in her hand to him, and said softly, “This is the last bottle.”
As soon as Su Qiuge finished speaking, she heard the sound of WeChat transferring money from her mobile phone.
She was a little surprised and looked up at Xie Xinglin. He snatched the bottled water in her hand away in the meantime.
“Wait, I’ve already drank that one—”
Xie Xinglin looked down at her, “That’s fine.”
Then, Su Qiuge watched helplessly as Xie Xinglin unscrewed the bottle cap slowly.
She has also seen boys exchange water for drinking. She originally thought that he might dislike it, and then drink it waterfall style without touching it, but Su Qiuge saw that he had put it directly to his mouth, and…
It happened to be where she just drank it.
She hurriedly tried to stop him, “Hey, that’s where I drank.”
Meaning that he should drink the other side.
Xie Xinglin’s eyes met hers, but he said casually as if he didn’t understand what she was saying, “I know.”
As soon as those words fell, his excessively rosy lips touched the place where Su Qiuge had just drank water. When he looked up, his sexy Adam’s apple rolled up and down because of the swallowing action, and his whole person had a predatory air to him.
Although silent, it was definitely impactful.
Su Qiuge watched his movements. Her heartbeat couldn’t help speeding up.
Is……
Is this an indirect kiss?
