She caught the basketball and, seeing how smug the new handsome guy was, thought she should put him in his place and not let these naive young girls think he was so great. It's just playing basketball, it's not that exaggerated.
She made a long-range shot from outside the court, sending the basketball directly into the opposite basket.
The boy who had come over to apologize was stunned. Was this a coincidence? No way? It was too accurate.
Those who were watching nearby all knew that Hua Kai was there, and they were all surprised and looked at him.
Hua Kai didn't intend to say anything, because she just wanted everyone to know that boys attract girls by showing off and playing basketball, and that girls can do even better than them, so they don't all have to admire and worship them like this.
However, she overlooked one point: the young girl wasn't watching the ball skills, but rather the handsome guy's ball skills. Her thinking was a bit too mature, but she wasn't exactly a young girl to begin with.
Just then, the handsome new guy ran up to Hua Kai and looked at her thoughtfully: "Are you, are you a crybaby?"
Hua Kai initially thought the boy was trying to chat her up, but upon hearing the words "little crybaby," she became unsure. The original owner's diary mentioned that she used to cry a lot as a child, and a boy named Gu Yan would come to the neighbor's house across the street during winter and summer vacations. He liked to play with her and gave her the nickname "little crybaby." However, he stopped coming after she entered middle school. The original owner had mentioned this boy twice in her diary; she had reminisced about the childhood happiness he brought her during difficult times. Could it be him?
She looked at the boy with a puzzled expression: "Do you know me?"
The boy was also a little uncertain: "Are you beggar Huakai?"
Hua Kai nodded in agreement, then asked doubtfully, "Are you Gu Yan?"
The boy said happily, "Is it really you, you little crybaby? You still remember me? I'm Yan Yan, you've grown up so much! I didn't expect we'd be alumni."
Hua Kai finds it hard to accept being called "Brother Yan Yan." After all, she's not a child anymore. Calling someone "Brother Yan Yan" in high school? Are you kidding me?
But this person was someone I knew, so to avoid embarrassment, I could only say, "It's been so many years. I hope you're doing well at home."
I don't really know much about his family situation, but I'm saying this to make it seem like our families are old friends, so people don't think I have anything going on with him.
Gu Yan said, "Everything is fine at home. It's just that my dad was transferred for work before, and we went to the Northwest with him. Now my grandparents are getting old and their health is not good, so my dad was transferred back, and I transferred back to school."
Hua Kai listened to Gu Yan's enthusiastic introduction and didn't know how to respond, because she was a stranger to him. She only had descriptions of him in the original owner's diary, but they were all childhood memories, such as giving her candy and taking her to the river to catch fish.
However, Hua Kai was grateful to him because the original owner's life was too bitter. Having such a memory, which she recalled before her death, might be some of the last warmth she had.
So Hua Kai was still grateful. She said, "You've just come back and might not be familiar with the school yet. I'm in Class 3 of the first year of high school. If you need anything, just come find me."
Gu Yan said, "Okay, then I'll treat you to lunch?"
Hua Kai said, "I have something to do at noon today, let's do it another day, since we're in the same school anyway."
"That's fine. I'll take you to my house when I have time. Do you remember my mom?" Gu Yan asked happily.
Hua Kai doesn't remember, because all she knows is what's in the diary, and this diary doesn't say anything about it.
However, you can't just say you don't remember; you can only say, "I was young then, and I don't remember many things clearly."
Gu Yan said, "It's okay. When you come to my house and see my mom, you'll remember."
Just then, the preparatory bell rang, and Hua Kai breathed a sigh of relief: "Class is starting, we'll talk again when we have time."
Gu Yan said, "I'm in Class 1 of the second year of high school. Come find me if you need anything."
Hua Kai agreed and hurried back to the classroom with Zhang Miao and Yu Hongdi.
Those watching also understood that Hua Kai and Gu Yan were from different families and hadn't seen each other for many years, so they met here.
However, everyone has to admit that Hua Kai is really lucky. She is beautiful, talented, and academically excellent. She is protected by the director of the political education department, and she has such a handsome friend outside of school who drives over to have dinner with her and Director Gu every day. There is also Guan Rui, a talented student in the second year of high school, who is also so good to her. Hua Kai is really too lucky.
Of course, Hua Kai also lamented that she didn't want to stand out, she just wanted to study hard, make money, and realize her dreams, but how come everything is related to her? Is this the protagonist's halo?
This is something Hua Kai can't control, and she doesn't know if it's lucky or troublesome, but this person is someone who warmed the original owner's heart, so Hua Kai still wants to treat him as a friend.
Yu Hongdi, who was standing next to him, was so gossipy that he was practically flying: "Huakai, Huakai, you are really amazing. You know everyone. We are relying on you for this person's inside information."
Hua Kai looked at Yu Hongdi and said, "You must study journalism, especially entertainment journalism, or you can just keep it as a memorization."
Yu Hongdi nodded: "I think it's a good idea."
The three of them ran to the classroom to start class while talking.
Hua Kai didn't go out during the break. She looked at the drawing again, needing a direction in mind. She was waiting for Ye Yifan to bring the tools so she could start drawing. However, this took up a lot of space, so she had to go to a rented house to draw it.
At noon, Hua Kai went downstairs and ran into Gu Xiaoxue. The two went out together and met up with Ye Yifan.
Ye Yifan took down the drawing toolbox and asked Huakai to check if anything was missing.
Hua Kai looked through it and found nothing missing. If anything was missing, she could find something to replace it, because Ye Yifan had already found a very complete set of things. If he couldn't get it, he probably couldn't buy it either.
Ye Yifan said the toolbox was heavy, and with so much paper inside, it was too heavy. He suggested that she help Hua Kai take the toolbox and paper to the rented house first, and then invite Hua Qingyi to come out for dinner together.
Hua Kai couldn't carry all those things herself, so she agreed to let Ye Yifan and Gu Xiaoxue take the things to the rented house together.
As soon as I entered, I saw Hua Qingyi helping Zhang Miao tie her apron straps.
Hua Qingyi, however, remained expressionless as he greeted Ye Yifan and Gu Xiaoxue at the door.
Zhang Miao blushed and greeted the two of them.
Hua Kai blinked at Zhang Miao, then said to Hua Qingyi, "Brother, put on your cotton-padded coat, let's go out to eat together."
Seeing that Zhang Miao was still skewering food, Hua Qingyi said to Hua Kai, "I'm not going. You guys go ahead. I have some leftover food from yesterday. Just heat it up. It's a waste to throw it away."
It's not easy to force things to blossom, and to be honest, I don't even know if there's anything going on between them that I'm unaware of.
It wasn't the right time to ask, so she could only say to Hua Qingyi, "Brother, don't rush to eat. I'll bring you some when I get back."
Hua Qingyi nodded without thinking much and said, "Okay, I'll eat later. Don't bring me any new dishes, the leftovers will do."
Hua Kai said, "Okay, brother, let's go then."
