Chapter 113 The Grove

Luo Ruiyan opened the analysis post and handed it to Sheng Han.

Sheng Han lowered his eyes and took a glance, the corners of his lips rising slightly.

Then he raised his head, met two pairs of expectant eyes, and nodded calmly.

"Well, that's about it."

Although Shi Qing had some guesses, when she heard him admit it with her own ears, her heart was hit hard, feeling both sore and hot.

Turns out... it's true.

The two looked at each other, one with a frank and gentle look, the other with a shocked and embarrassed look.

The ambiguous factor is quietly fermenting in the air.

Luo Ruiyan looked at the two of them staring at each other as if no one was around, and smiled like an aunt.

She cleared her throat and waved tactfully.

"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that I haven't finished preparing for class yet. You guys chat, I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, she slipped away with the hush money.

In the grove, they were the only two left again.

The evening breeze blew Shi Qing's hair and also disturbed her heart.

"Is it true...false?" she asked softly, with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

Sheng Han walked to her side, sat down naturally, and reached out to hold her slightly cold hand.

"Of course it's true." He stared at her, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow, "The New Year's Eve party was the beginning of my heart beating. After that, I asked around for information about you."

"Then... I found out that Teacher Li was your mother. Coincidentally, she was also our math teacher. In order to gain a good reputation with my future mother-in-law, I had no choice but to work hard."

"Future mother-in-law!" Shi Qing was amused by him.

She glared at him and said, "You were really thinking too far ahead at that time."

"Then why... don't you show any sign of love? I don't get the feeling that you have a crush on me at all."

When Sheng Han mentioned this, his eyes instantly turned resentful: "Besides studying and dancing, were you able to pay attention to anything else at that time?"

Shi Qing choked, thinking back carefully, realizing that she had indeed been somewhat oblivious to the world outside her during high school. She then thought back to when she had a crush on him, and aside from occasionally creating awkward encounters, she didn't seem to have done much.

She decided to change the subject: "Your high school grades were so good, why did you choose to go abroad in the end?"

Sheng Han tightened his grip on her hand, his eyes darkening for a moment as he brushed it off: "At that time... my dad and I had a bad relationship, and he didn't trust me. We kind of reached a deal, so I left."

Shi Qing knew that the relationship between father and son was not harmonious, especially it seemed to be worse after the Chinese New Year, so she considerately did not ask any further questions.

"Then why didn't you come after me after you returned?" Shi Qing muttered softly. She felt that she should be easy to pursue, especially... if the other party was Sheng Han.

This question seemed to have touched Sheng Han's sore spot again, and his eyes became even more resentful.

Sheng Han sighed: "I entered this circle just for you."

"If you have time, why not check out our CP super topic? It's a compilation of times when my eyes fell on you at various events. While some of them are just fan fiction, most of them are real."

Shi Qing's face turned red when he said that, and she touched her nose awkwardly.

She forced the subject to change again: "Aren't you planning to quit the entertainment industry? Why are you participating in this show again?"

Sheng Han took advantage of the situation and brought her to his arms, letting her lean on his shoulder. He said in a tender voice, "I want to keep more footage of us in the same frame, and..."

He tilted his head, his warm breath brushing against her ear.

"Being able to go to school with you, go home with you, and walk around the campus with you was my dream during high school."

Shi Qing's heart completely softened into a pool of spring water.

She rubbed her lips against his shoulder in a dependent manner.

At this tender moment.

"Which class are you from?! Why are you not back in the dorms so late at night and are you doing in the woods?!"

A dazzling flashlight beam, accompanied by Director Hu's powerful roar, shone over.

Out of the fear of the dean that was ingrained in her DNA, Shi Qing jumped up almost reflexively. Without even thinking, she grabbed Sheng Han's wrist and turned around and ran!

Sheng Han, who was being dragged by her to run, was stunned at first, then he looked at her nervous back, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise up.

After running a few steps, Shi Qing, who was wearing ill-fitting leather shoes, was out of breath and slowed down.

The next second, the force on her wrist changed, and Sheng Han pulled her back, and he started running with her.

The night wind whistled past their ears, chasing the flying hems of their school uniforms, blowing up the arc of youth.

At this moment, Shi Qing suddenly felt that Sheng Han's participation in this program was... really not bad.

——

The next day, physical education class.

Shi Qing was dragged by her deskmate Chen Miaomiao to watch basketball.

"Sister Qingqing, hurry up! Our class is going to play a game against Class 7 next door!"

Chen Miaomiao excitedly explained as she ran, "We won the last basketball game, and those boys from Class 7 weren't convinced. They came to challenge us again in class just now, and Brother Yan and the others accepted the challenge!"

Shi Qing staggered when she pulled her, and before she could say anything, she was pulled to the front row.

The crowd was surging and cheers were heard one after another.

Shi Qing glanced around the field and was then slightly startled.

Sheng Han also changed into a jersey.

The loose sleeveless jersey made his shoulders look broad and his legs look long, and the smooth muscle lines were particularly clear in the sunlight, making him look completely different from his usual handsome appearance in school uniform.

He was listening attentively to his classmates discussing tactics, and when he looked up inadvertently, he saw Shi Qing in the crowd.

Then he grinned, raised his arms, and waved them at her vigorously.

Shi Qing couldn't bear to look at that silly look and turned her face away, but when she caught a glimpse of the camera following her not far away, she could only raise her hand and wave perfunctorily.

The game has not started yet, but I can hear the chatter of my classmates around me.

"Who are those two students Director Hu singled out for dating in the woods this morning?"

Shi Qing's heart suddenly tightened, and the embarrassment from last night surged into her mind again.

After she ran away, she realized that they were not real students, so there was no need to run away!

As a result, this morning, Director Hu used the break time to use the "Little Woods Incident" as a negative example on the school's loudspeaker, and criticized it in a righteous manner. He also warned all students again that premature love is strictly prohibited!

Shi Qing subconsciously looked towards the center of the court.

Sheng Han was tilting his head slightly, unscrewing a bottle of mineral water and drinking it, his Adam's apple drawing a sexy arc in the sunlight.

He seemed to notice her gaze, turned his head and smiled at her again.

Shi Qing's heart skipped a beat.

That’s it…

The same sunshine, the same court, the same him.

This was the beginning of her heartbeat.
