Chapter 8

At the end of March, the basketball friendly match between No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School was held on schedule, and the venue was the indoor basketball court of No. 1 Middle School.

Shi Miaomiao was not interested in basketball and had no intention of watching it.

Unexpectedly, the head teacher asked the whole class to go to the scene to cheer.

Because their class is the best performing class in the entire senior year, they hope everyone can have fun together, cheer each other on, and liven up the atmosphere.

When they arrived, the place was already bustling with people. Players from both teams were doing warm-up exercises, and others were cheering them on.

Shi Miaomiao followed Bai Yiren and sat down, looking at the field. She saw several people from her class on the first team side, including Song Fang and Chen Han.

Shi Miaomiao glanced at the No. 2 Middle School team again and saw a familiar face in the team. Wasn't that Lian Jian? Why was he here?

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, the first round officially began.

Lian Jian didn't seem to want to play in the first game. He sat in the bench and talked to the person next to him.

The fierce competition on the court drew Shi Miaomiao's attention back. Song Fang and Chen Han cooperated very well on the court.

At the beginning, No. 1 Middle School was far ahead of No. 2 Middle School, but No. 2 Middle School was no pushover either. The two teams fought fiercely and the score gap became smaller and smaller.

The referee blew the whistle, and the first round ended. Bai Yiren grabbed Shi Miaomiao's hand and asked nervously, "Miaomiao, we will win, right?"

Shi Miaomiao smiled soothingly and patted her hands, "We will win, don't worry."

At the beginning of the second half, Shi Miaomiao saw Lian Jian coming on the court.

On the other hand, Chen Han and Song Fang of the first team had consumed too much energy in the first half and did not play at the beginning.

As soon as Lian Jian came on the court, No. 2 Middle School made several consecutive three-pointers. At this time, the difference between the two teams was only a few points.

At this point, the teachers at No. 1 Middle School could no longer sit still and immediately asked Chen Han and Song Fang to replace the two players.

In the second half, the two teams played very tensely, neither of them giving in. When Song Fang and Chen Han came on, the situation improved a lot. Perhaps it was a few three-pointers that inspired the players of No. 2 Middle School. Their enthusiasm was completely aroused, and all the members fought hard to catch up as if they had been injected with chicken blood. By the last minute, they had already surpassed No. 1 Middle School.

In the last few seconds, Lian Jian made a beautiful three-pointer to end the game.

As soon as the whistle was blown, the teachers and students of No. 1 Middle School could not hide their disappointment on their faces.

"Oh, Miaomiao, I actually lost." Bai Yiren lowered her head and said very disappointedly.

Shi Miaomiao was still immersed in the beautiful three-pointer at the end. When she heard Bai Yiren say this, she immediately turned her head back. Just as she was about to say something, 003's voice rang out.

"Master, please pay attention. Master, please pay attention. The hero will be confessed to in the school's Osmanthus Garden. Please let the heroine go there immediately."

After Shi Miaomiao heard this, her brain froze for a few seconds. So sudden?

He glanced at the lost Bai Yiren, and a brilliant idea immediately flashed in his mind: "Yiren, we lost, we are all so sad, not to mention Chen Han. You go see him and comfort him."

Bai Yiren glanced at Shi Miaomiao and nodded.

"You're right, I'll go see him."

"Well, I won't go with you. You can go to the Osmanthus Garden. That's the only way back to the classroom."

Bai Yiren: "Okay, Miaomiao." After saying that, Bai Yiren walked towards the Osmanthus Garden.

Seeing that most people had left, Shi Miaomiao followed everyone back to the classroom.

Because the basketball game was in the afternoon, after the game, the school directly notified the senior high school students to dismiss school.

Shi Miaomiao returned home, put down her schoolbag, went to the mirror and looked at her skin.

Maybe it’s because of taking a hot spring bath every day, her skin has almost returned to normal level. In time, her skin will become more elastic and shiny.

In addition to drinking the dew, her facial contours became more distinct, her features became deeper, and her eyes became brighter. She had recently felt a slight swelling and pain in certain parts of her body, as if she was experiencing secondary growth.

Moreover, when I study, I always feel like my Ren and Du meridians are opened up, and my memory and comprehension have improved. I have to say that the effect of dew is becoming more and more obvious.

Just as I was in a daze, the voice of 003 machine came.

"Master, the mission is complete. I will give you your reward now."

"Is my mission accomplished?"

She didn't expect to complete the task so easily.

"Yes, Master."

"What happened after Bai Yiren left? " Shi Miaomiao asked curiously.

"After Bai Yiren arrived, she saw Chen Han being confessed to. She was very angry and turned around and left. Chen Han saw her like this and quickly chased after her."

"Is that so?" Shi Miaomiao seemed to be lost in thought. It seemed that the two of them would have a frank talk and know each other's intentions.

"Master, check the reward."

003 After saying this, Shi Miaomiao saw a bottle of energy on her desk. She poured it on the tricolor flower and went about her own business.

Just as I finished cooking, someone knocked on the door.

"I'm coming." Shi Miaomiao, wearing an apron and slippers, came to the door.

After taking a look at the surveillance camera and seeing that it was Lian Jian, Shi Miaomiao opened the door with doubts.

Lian Jian changed out of her school uniform and put on simple home clothes. She looked tall and graceful, and looked more gentle.

"Is there something wrong?" Shi Miaomiao asked.

Looking at Shi Miaomiao, who was wearing an apron and looked confused, Lian Jian smiled and said, "I wanted to ask if you have a pen. I forgot to bring one."

Shi Miaomiao thought it was something else, but it turned out that he came to borrow a pen.

"Yes, I'll get it for you."

After saying that, Shi Miaomiao glanced at Lian Jian again and asked casually, "Have you had dinner?"

"No."

Shi Miaomiao was just being polite, but she didn't expect Lian Jian to be so direct.

So he asked again, "I just made some food, would you like to have some?"

"You made it? Okay, I'm hungry." Lian Jian agreed directly and walked past Shi Miaomiao into the room.

Looking at Lian Jian, who looked more like the master than herself, Shi Miaomiao stared at his back in a daze. She was just being polite, but why was this man not polite at all?

Since you invited me first, then welcome me happily.

She made a simple three-dish and one soup tonight: spicy hot pot, shredded pork with green peppers, lemon shredded chicken, and tomato and egg soup. Every dish was very delicious.

Lian Jian looked at the sumptuous meal on the table and glanced at Shi Miaomiao suspiciously, "Can you finish all this?"

"Aren't you here?"

Shi Miaomiao likes to cook, and she has a physique that allows her to eat a lot without gaining weight. Her appetite is bigger than that of the average girl. Of course, she won't tell Lian Jian about this.

"Sit down and eat first. I'll find you a pen after dinner."

"Okay." Lian Jian smiled. He didn't know why he wanted to get close to Shi Miaomiao as soon as he saw her. So when he knew she was just being polite, he didn't want to miss this opportunity to get along with her.

But these dishes are really delicious.

Lian Jian praised while eating, "Well, these dishes you made are all delicious."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Shi Miaomiao likes to cook delicious food, so it is a good thing for people who like to cook delicious food to be praised by others.

“Do you cook often?”

Lian Jian usually has a picky appetite and doesn't like what his aunt cooks.

It’s not that the food my aunt cooks is not delicious, but I just feel like it’s missing something.

"Often." Shi Miaomiao nodded.

"Are you the only one in your family?"

After Lian Jian asked, he felt that something was wrong, but the words had already been spoken.

"Yeah, that's right. My parents are divorced and they remarried, so I live alone."

Shi Miaomiao didn't care.

Even Jian didn't understand what he said.

Then he thought of her being home alone, "Can I share a room with you? Don't worry, I can wash the dishes and pay for the food."

Lian Jian looked at Shi Miaomiao expectantly.

"You mean you want to have dinner with me in the evening?" Shi Miaomiao couldn't believe that Lian Jian made such a suggestion.

Lian Jian nodded and looked at her expectantly, "How about it, would you consider it?"

Shi Miaomiao felt complicated. They didn't know each other very well, so why was he so informal right from the start?

"Is there no one at home?" Shi Miaomiao looked into his dark eyes and asked back.

"My family is in Pingcheng."

"Then why did you transfer here to study? Isn't Pingcheng the capital?"

Lian Jian smiled and said, "This is my mother's hometown. I pretty much grew up here when I was little, and my grandma lives nearby. I've always been attached to this place, so I transferred back to experience it. I won't have as much time when I go to college or work."

Shi Miaomiao nodded to show her understanding.

Lian Jian continued to ask, "So, you think about it? What do you think?" His tone was sincere.

Shi Miaomiao thought about it and nodded, "Okay, but let me make it clear first, you'll be the one washing the dishes."

Lian Jian smiled and said, "Okay, no problem."

After the two of them finished their meal, Shi Miaomiao handed the pen to Lian Jian, "Here, take it and use it. You don't have to return it."

"Thank you." Lian Jian shook the pen in his hand.

After sending Lian Jian out, Shi Miaomiao sat on the sofa and thought for a long time. Why did she feel like she was being tricked?

Also, she has to cook dinner for two people in the evening, so she always feels like she is losing out.

The next day, as soon as Shi Miaomiao sat down, she found that Bai Yiren next to her was supporting her chin with a frown on her face, looking quite troubled.

Shi Miaomiao waved her hand in front of her eyes, but Bai Yiren didn't react at all.

"What's wrong with you, Yiren?" Shi Miaomiao asked suspiciously.

Bai Yiren came back to her senses, glanced at Shi Miaomiao, and shook her head, "Nothing."

But the expression on his face did not relax at all.

"Nothing, why are you still looking like that?"

Shi Miaomiao understood everything, and with a curl of her lips, she shook her head, "You are like a person trapped in love right now."
