Xia Xi did not blush, but Zhao Lei, who was also being watched by the audience, blushed first. She covered her face with her hands to prevent others from taking pictures of Xia Xi and including her in the camera. At the same time, she quietly tugged at the hem of Xia Xi's skirt, signaling this ancestor to sit down quickly and stop making news.

After a moment, Xu Yanfeng withdrew his gaze. The cheers from the audience could not drown out the beating of his heart.

My heart was pounding against my chest, each beat louder than the last, about to break through the barrier and jump out.

This is not normal.

This was the second time he couldn't control his heartbeat. The last time was in the library, when the power went out, she pretended to be afraid of the black diamond and fell into his arms.

But he was able to control his expression. He tried his best to remain calm and followed his teammates to the waiting area.

Several sturdy team members bumped into each other, their eyes full of envy as they looked at Xu Yanfeng, teasing him, "It's such an honor to be confessed to by a beautiful woman. When will I be able to have this treatment too?"

"Maybe in the next life! Remember to be more beautiful."

"Before you attack others, please look in the mirror first."

"That Xia Xi is so charming, but I didn't expect she's also so cute. Even if she didn't confess to me, my heart is numb." The boy said while rubbing his chest.

"Don't think too much, she already has someone in her heart."

Xu Yanfeng felt a little uncomfortable when he heard them talking about Xia Xi, even though there was no malice in their words.

He frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed his brows. He sat on the stool with his legs open, his elbows on his knees, his back slightly bent, his head lowered, and he never said a word.

The team members chattered and took seats next to him one after another. They glanced at him and wanted to ask him, "Do you really have no feelings for Xia Xi?" But seeing that he clearly didn't want to talk, they had to suppress their curiosity.

In the stands, Xia Xi finally sat down obediently. Turning around, Zhao Lei's face was red. Turning to the other side, Wu Qinglu's face was also red. Xia Xi was a little confused: "Why are you two blushing?"

The two looked at Xia Xi's fair face and admired her strong mental quality.

Zhao Lei said, "I'm blushing for you! You suddenly confessed your feelings, and so many people were looking at me. I, I, I...how could I bear it!"

Wu Qinglu nodded and wanted to say: Me too.

Xia Xi felt a little guilty. She didn't think anything was wrong, but she had implicated them. "Sorry."

Zhao Lei calmed down a bit and said, "Why don't you wait until after the game to confess your feelings?"

Xia Xi fiddled with the camera's strap with her fingers and said honestly, "I just saw him walk in. He was so handsome, I couldn't help but shout out." She smiled at Zhao Lei, "Now that I think about it, this is a good idea. After the game, there will definitely be a lot of girls coming over. How can I squeeze past them with my crippled body?"

Zhao Lei gave her a thumbs up. Although it was impulsive, it was also far-sighted, worthy of being Xia Xi.

*

The game started, and Xia Xi was no longer thinking about anything else. Her attention was completely focused on the running figure on the field. Sometimes she even forgot to take pictures. It was Zhao Lei, who was sitting next to her, who reminded her: "Are you carrying the camera just for show?"

Xia Xi suddenly realized, said "Oh", raised the camera, and took a picture of Xu Yanfeng with his half-bottle-of-water photography skill.

Zhao Lei witnessed her unprofessional posture and shook her head, wondering what kind of amazing picture she would eventually take.

Xia Xi read Zhao Lei's expression and read her subtext. "Although my technique isn't great, my Xu Yanfeng is so good-looking. Even a casual photo of him is outstanding. Look at the bulging veins, the glistening beads of sweat, and the beautiful abdominal muscles. There's no flaw anywhere. It's simply Nuwa's graduation project!"

What she said was the truth, but Zhao Lei still got goose bumps. She hugged her arms and rubbed them, with a look of disgust on her face, and dragged out a "huh" tone: "Return your Xu Yanfeng, when did he become yours? How come I didn't know?"

Xia Xi was not shy and boasted: "Sooner or later."

On the court, the boys' sneakers scraped against the smooth floor, occasionally making sharp sounds. Sweat soaked the collars of their jerseys. Another three-pointer beautifully fell into the basket, and the whole audience stood up and screamed.

During the intermission, Xu Yanfeng ripped off his sweat-soaked headband and casually tucked his loose hair onto his head, revealing a smooth forehead that made his face appear smoother and his features more three-dimensional. He stood with his back to a lounge chair, bent over, picked up a towel, and wiped the sweat from his face and neck.

There were girls running across half the court to bring him water, more than one, and they were all dressed up beautifully, with perfect clothes and makeup.

No matter how vigorously Xia Xi pursues Xu Yanfeng, as long as Xu Yanfeng doesn't agree, they still have a chance.

Although they couldn't do it as grandly as Xia Xi, they could still muster up the courage to send a bottle of water.

What if, what if I could catch his eye.

Seeing this, Zhao Lei felt anxious for Xia Xi. She tilted her head and whispered in her ear, "Such a good opportunity, why don't you go over and show your courtesy?" As she spoke, she stuffed an unopened bottle of sports drink into Xia Xi's mouth and encouraged her, "Go quickly."

Xia Xi stuffed the drink back and pointed at his injured foot, very self-aware: "With my broken legs, if I limp over there, the daylilies will be cold."

Zhao Lei felt distressed and amused.

The cheerleaders came to the center of the field to dance, and the atmosphere in the venue continued to be high. Xia Xi had no time to look at them. Even when Xu Yanfeng was resting, her eyes never moved away, mainly to observe which girl he took the water from.

A group of girls surrounded him, probably praising him, and they blushed as they talked.

Zhao Lei whispered to Xia Xi again: "Can you really endure it? Not jealous?"

Xia Xi was very open-minded: "Xu Yanfeng is single, so we're competing fairly. It's nothing." But to say she wasn't jealous at all would be too hypocritical, so she nodded and admitted it frankly, "Yes, of course I wouldn't. I'm just looking to see which girl he has a special liking for."
