Luo Xikui was unaware of the atmosphere between the boys; her cheeks were flushed, as pink as a red apple.
Xu Ziyu's hand rested on the back of her chair, his fingertips lightly tapping the back of the chair, his eyes lowered as he looked at the tip of her ear. How had he never known before that she was such a shy person? Even when she was being clingy, she would put her arm around his shoulder or hug his arm, showing no awareness of the boundaries between men and women.
Her blushing now is quite charming and cute, like a girl's shyness.
Luo Xikui felt Xu Ziyu's gaze still fixed on her, and at that moment she didn't know where to look. It was halftime, and there wasn't much to see on the field.
Perhaps it was the hot weather, but her cheeks felt burning hot, her throat was dry, and she really wanted an iced drink. But he had just drunk from her beverage; was it alright for her to pick it up and drink it like this? If she wiped the bottle opening first, wouldn't he think she was disgusted by his saliva?
"Aren't you thirsty? Didn't you just ask for some water?" Xu Ziyu glanced at the court's rest area, but Yuan Cheng's gaze was still fixed on them, so he asked Luo Xikui in a low voice.
Upon hearing his words, Luo Xikui knew that he was aware that she had touched his hand earlier.
"Do you need me to buy you another bottle?" Xu Zi asked, getting up as she remained silent.
Luo Xikui hurriedly grabbed his wrist, stammering, "No need for that."
To prove she didn't despise him, she grabbed the black tea, unscrewed the cap, and gulped it down.
Xu Ziyu sat down leisurely, raised his eyes slightly, and saw that Yuan Cheng had already turned his face away and was talking to his teammates.
After taking a few sips, Luo Xikui put the black tea back and pursed her moist, glossy pink lips.
The whistle blew, and the second half of the game began.
Luo Xikui wasn't really focused on the game to begin with, and in the second half she was completely lost in thought. Except for the occasional bursts of excitement from the girls in the stadium for Yuan Cheng's three-pointer, her mind was entirely on the indirect kiss between her and Tuantuan.
Although they grew up together, Tuantuan doesn't like to share food, so they rarely share a drink. Even if they did, it was before they started elementary school.
If she didn't know his personality, she would have even thought he was doing it on purpose.
It probably wasn't intentional...
Luo Xikui thought about it and wasn't quite sure anymore. She secretly looked up at him and saw that he was looking at the basketball court and didn't have any special reaction.
She then calmed down, assuming he was unintentional, but secretly she was delighted.
After the game ended, she glanced at the score; No. 1 Middle School had won without any doubt.
As the audience members in the stadium got up and left, Luo Xikui thought she should congratulate Yuan Cheng, so she told Xiang Hengxi and the others to wait a moment.
Xiang Hengxi had his own things to do, so he said to Xu Ziyu, "Ayu, take Xiaokui back later."
Xu Ziyu nodded, and Xiang Hengxi walked straight away.
Luo Xikui glanced at Xu Ziyu, pursed her lips, and said, "If you have something to do, you can do it first..."
Xu Ziyu's face darkened. Was she trying to get rid of him? Did she want to be alone with Yuan Cheng?
Before she could finish speaking, Yuan Cheng's voice rang out from ahead. He had changed into his everyday clothes and was running towards her.
"Congratulations on your win." Luo Xikui smiled at Yuan Cheng and sincerely praised him: "Your three-point shot was excellent."
Yuan Cheng laughed heartily, scratched his head sheepishly, and said modestly, "My teammates cooperated well."
