The next day, Jiang Hua, unlike her usual habit of sleeping in, arrived at the stadium entrance early. She stood in front of the huge stadium entrance with many volunteers, dressed in the same clothes, waiting for the players from the two schools to arrive. Actually, she was just waiting for Gu Yiming. For this, her roommate teased her, calling her "a 'waiting-for-husband stone' standing at the entrance, gazing into the distance, waiting for her husband to return."
A female student standing nearby noticed that Jiang Hua's feet seemed a little uncomfortable and asked with concern.
"Senior, is your foot alright? If you can't stand, go back to the gym to rest. We'll take care of things here."
Jiang Hua raised a faint smile and replied, "It's okay, I'm fine. I'll rest after my friend arrives. I can still manage for now."
When the younger girl saw that her attempts to persuade him were unsuccessful, she had no choice but to give up. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she stood aside and blocked most of the scorching sunlight.
Jiang Hua felt much better and couldn't help but marvel at how kind-hearted the younger female students were these days.
Jiang Hua stood for another half hour before the athletes from B University finally arrived. Even among a group of tall boys, Jiang Hua still managed to spot Gu Yiming, who stood out from the crowd.
He seemed to have walked out of the light. Although he was serious and didn't smile, for some reason, she always felt warm when she looked at him, as if her heart was about to melt.
Suddenly, their eyes met seamlessly in mid-air. A few seconds later, Jiang Hua came to her senses, her cheeks flushing red, like a tempting peach that you just wanted to take a bite of.
A smile flashed in Gu Yiming's eyes, and he quickly walked over. His friends naturally noticed a beautiful woman standing at the door, and their aloof campus heartthrob from B University walked towards her without hesitation.
It's clear that their relationship is quite unusual.
As Gu Yiming walked towards her, Jiang Hua's heart began to race, but she remained outwardly calm and composed. Gu Yiming quickly reached Jiang Hua.
With a faint smile, Gu Yiming looked at Jiang Hua, whose cheeks were slightly red from the sun, and felt a pang of heartache. He said, "It must be very sunny outside. Why are you standing outside with your injured foot?"
Jiang Hua's heart seemed to be touched, and she smiled brightly, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents: "It's okay, you're volunteers, and since you're here too, I'll go in with you."
"Okay, don't hurt yourself next time."
At this moment, the athletes from B University also arrived and stood next to them, all looking at them with an "I understand" expression. Jiang Hua's blush, which had finally subsided, returned.
The athletes from University B seemed to enjoy making things worse.
"Hey, Gu, your girlfriend's shy!"
"What if she's not your girlfriend? The school heartthrob Gu is going to pursue her!"
"I'm telling you, if you keep talking like that, even the girls at A University will get shy!"
At this moment, Gu Yiming glanced at them and said, "Let's go. We have the energy to talk now, but we won't have the energy to play ball later."
After saying that, he reached out and put his hand on Jiang Hua's shoulder, then led her into the gymnasium without looking at her surprised expression.
Jiang Hua paused for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Yiming: "Hey, isn't this a bit inappropriate in public?"
Gu Yiming didn't seem to care: "If you keep walking like this, you'll probably end up in the hospital."
"No way..."
"It's that serious!"
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yiming interrupted her. Although she was unhappy about being teased, Jiang Hua felt warm inside when she thought that Gu Yiming cared about her. She decided to let him put his arm around her shoulder for a moment.
Although that's what she thought, Jiang Hua still felt shy in the face of everyone's gazes. She reached out and slapped Gu Yiming's hand away. Gu Yiming saw that they were almost at the audience seats and didn't continue to hug her. It would be a loss if he angered everyone.
Jiang Hua slowly walked to the audience seats and sat down. She took off her volunteer clothes, revealing a light and elegant blue chiffon off-shoulder top underneath.
Gu Yiming sat down next to Jiang Hua before the competition even started.
How's your leg?
Jiang Hua chuckled: "Great! What? Worried?"
Seeing Jiang Hua being so mischievous, Gu Yiming reached out and ruffled Jiang Hua's hair: "Silly, we've known each other for several years now. Even a pig would be worried about you."
"Gu Yiming, you compared me to a pig?! You've really grown some guts now!"
Looking at Jiang Hua's adorable, flustered appearance, Gu Yiming said with doting eyes, "No, you're not as cute as a pig."
"Gu Yiming, you...!"
"Alright, Yiming, stop flirting with girls and go change your clothes."
Only then did Jiang Hua realize that the athletes from B University were standing on the basketball court not far from them, watching them. Jiang Hua couldn't help but blush. Oh my god! It's all Gu Yiming's fault for being so shameless! What happened to her ladylike image!
"Did you hear me? Go change your clothes now, or you'll lose too badly!"
Gu Yiming's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he ruffled Jiang Hua's hair again.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
"Go quickly!"
Gu Yiming walked towards where the athletes from B University were, waved to Jiang Hua, and watched him go to change his clothes. Only then did Jiang Hua smile, but...
Why did she feel a chill down her back? Turning around in confusion, she saw that the girls in the back row of the audience were staring at her intently, their eyes practically wanting to tear a piece of flesh off her.
"Gu Yiming is truly a femme fatale!"
Suddenly, an even stronger sense of resentment washed over her. Jiang Hua looked towards the door again, where her roommates stood... and they looked like they'd been there for quite a while, watching her and Gu Yiming's every move...
