Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Sports Meet (Part One)
Xue Yun still couldn't believe that Xia Ge had a girlfriend. He had said he wasn't in a hurry to get married during those few days of vacation, so how could he have a girlfriend just two months later? And she's not even in the entertainment industry.
He said, "Have you met your sister-in-law? I feel like Brother Xia is completely infatuated with her and has lost his mind."
"Hmm...not bad looking," Lu Shi'an said nonchalantly, his hands propped up on the edge of the table, his brown eyes lazily staring at the surface. "It's your turn."
Xue Yun gave him a strange look. This person, who usually loved to watch the excitement and make a fuss, was unusually calm now.
Thinking this, Xia Ge, who was sitting next to him, said slowly, "Let me ask you a question. If your girlfriend clearly has time, but tells you she's busy and doesn't have time, what does that mean?"
Wow, someone actually doesn't want to chat with Brother Xia? Xue Yun's eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Back then, he was a handsome young man loved by everyone, but ever since he started following Brother Xia, the eyes of all the beauties in the industry have never lingered on him.
“It might be that she needs space,” Lu Shi’an said, his previously nonchalant attitude suddenly vanishing as he took on the role of strategist. “Everyone needs their own space. Brother Xia, are you being too clingy with your wife, making her feel suffocated?”
Xue Yun nodded with a smile after listening: "Indeed, relationships need novelty, and National Day is just a month away. If you don't send WeChat messages to your sister-in-law occasionally, when you two meet on National Day, won't things just get heated?"
Lu Shi'an glared at Xue Yun from the side, saying, "What 'dry wood and raging fire'? That sounds awful."
However, seeing that Brother Xia had no intention of going to Sheng'an City, he didn't say anything.
The little incident passed quickly, and Xia Yan had other things to do, so she left first.
There were only two people left in the pool room. Lu Shi'an finished his last ball and was about to leave when a pool cue suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
"Xue Yun, what are you doing?"
Xue Yun tilted his head, staring at him with a knowing look in his eyes: "Brother Xia is gone, come and tell me about you and your sister-in-law?"
Lu Shi'an froze abruptly, looked at the other person, his fingers tightened, but he still managed a forced smile and asked, feigning composure, "What?"
"Stop pretending, no one can fool me, Xue Yun."
Xue Yun retracted his pool cue, his eyes scrutinizing him with keen insight, and said with a pained expression, "Lu Shi'an, even if your sister-in-law isn't pretty enough, you can't target her!"
"Me... huh?"
"What do you mean 'huh'? I just saw you smile when Brother Xia said his wife was too busy to chat with him. Plus, the way you seemed uninterested in Brother Xia dating only proves that his wife isn't very pretty."
To be fair, if Lu Shi'an didn't like Jiang You, then everything he said, except for his targeting of her, is correct.
"Hehe, you're really smart," Lu Shi'an said through gritted teeth, as he loosened his grip on Xue Yun's hand and looked at Xue Yun's intelligent eyes.
"Of course, I've watched over a thousand episodes of Detective Conan. You think you can fool me? Impossible. No one can lie to me, Xue Yun."

On the second day of the new semester at Tengchong Normal University, the neighboring International University held its sports meet. Tengchong University gave its students a day off to watch, a holiday they receive every year.
"My boyfriend signed up for the 800-meter freestyle, and Xiao Sinian is the referee. My boyfriend said that we'll have a dinner together after the event this afternoon," Bai Qianyue said. Today, she was dressed casually with a touch of styling, which perfectly matched the theme of the sports meet. She was lively and cheerful.
"Ahhh, Xiao Sinian, Bai Qianyue, aren't we good friends? You have to include me!!!" Wang Lili grabbed Bai Qianyue's arm and screamed wildly.
"Alright, alright, I'll take you," Bai Qianyue said helplessly. Then, she turned to the girl playing on her phone in her seat, "Jiang You, what about you?"
"Me?" Jiang You looked up. "You all know I'm all alone. A gathering of strangers would kill me. So I'd rather stay in my dorm."
"Right, right, right~", Wang Lili ran over, hugged her arm, looked into her eyes, and said coquettishly, "Yueyue wants to stay with her boyfriend, will you stay with me?"
"But......"
"I don't want you to go to the dinner party, just come watch the game with me. There are so many handsome guys at the international school, please, darling, otherwise I'll be so lonely..."
Unable to resist his best friend's persistent pleading, Jiang You finally agreed. He then sent a message to Song Yun, saying that he was going to watch the sports meet and wouldn't be able to have lunch together, and that Song Yun shouldn't wait for him.
As a result, he wanted to go too.
Jiang You looked up: "Wang Lili, Song Yun wants to come with me. Do you mind?"
She had already prepared a story about Song Yun's identity for her roommate: he was a distant relative who had suffered psychological trauma as a child, so his family asked her to take care of him at school.
Although her roommates doubted whether someone like that could become a teacher, she managed to fool them.
"Of course, no problem. He's tall and strong, he can help us run errands and save us seats! By the way, where's Xiao Cheng?"
"She went to work as a day laborer, sorting express packages," Jiang You said after glancing at Cheng Pandi's location.
Cheng Pandi excelled in science and her grades were good enough to get her into a university in Beijing. She even had a scholarship arranged, but despite all her efforts, her parents still changed her application.
If her parents hadn't thought that their daughter, who was in college, could fetch a good price, they would never have let her pay her own tuition to go to college.
"Sigh," Wang Lili sighed helplessly, then changed the subject, "Let's go, or there won't be any seats left."
Qingfeng International University is a large university, consisting of a high school section and a university section.
Furthermore, students in the high school section do not need to take the college entrance examination; they can directly enter the university here.
Moreover, their academic qualifications are highly valued, and they receive priority in job applications.
At the opening ceremony of the sports meet, a huge electronic display screen on the rostrum flashed with dazzling light.
The first to enter were the national flag guards, followed by the contingents from each college.
Some students wore traditional Chinese clothing, some wore uniforms, and some were into anime/manga. Regardless of gender, they all exuded poise, confidence, and radiance.
Finally, the leaders gave speeches, and unexpectedly, champion Xiao Sinian also went up to the podium to speak.
Jiang You, sitting in the audience, clearly felt that Xiao Sinian's shouts were more than twice as loud as before when he went on stage.
On the big screen, Xiao Sinian had his hair slicked back, with a wisp of hair falling down to his eyebrows.
With sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and red lips, he had a very aggressive wolf-dog look, especially his cold, trash-like gaze, which was quite satisfying to look at.
