"Yes, indeed, the number 11 defender made a good pass." Xu Ziyu said calmly, as if it were a matter of fact.
Yuan Cheng was taken aback by his words, and her smile faded slightly.
Luo Xikui sensed something was amiss and felt that Tuantuan wasn't very friendly towards Yuan Cheng, so she smoothed things over by saying, "Even if he passes well, you still need to hit the target. Teamwork is the most important thing in team events."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Cheng smiled again and said, "We're having a celebration tonight. If you're free later, could you join us...?"
"No." Xu Ziyu cut Yuan Cheng off, grabbed Luo Xikui's wrist, and said, "She's going to study."
Luo Xikui felt the atmosphere was too tense, so she quickly echoed Xu Ziyu and said to Yuan Cheng, "Yes, the last mock exam is next week, I need to go and study."
Yuan Cheng glanced at Xu Ziyu's hand, then looked up at Luo Xikui and said, "Then good luck! You've been working so hard lately, you're sure to do well on the exam."
Luo Xikui smiled and nodded: "Thank you, if I take the exam..."
Before she could say anything, Xu Ziyu grabbed her and pulled her outside. He had long legs and took big strides, and she stumbled after him.
Once they were outside the stadium, he shook off her hand.
Luo Xikui rubbed her wrist, which had been scratched red, and asked cautiously, "Are you angry?"
Xu Ziyu had a cold expression on his face, and even the bright setting sun couldn't melt the frost on his face.
"I've been working hard lately," Luo Xikui explained earnestly, thinking he was angry about it.
Xu Ziyu glanced at her wrist, turned his head away, and strode away.
Luo Xikui hurriedly caught up, grabbed Xu Ziyu's arm, and asked in confusion, "What are you angry about?"
Xu Ziyu felt something soft touch her upper arm. The sensation was strange. She looked down at her and realized it was...
"Don't touch me." He pulled his arm away.
Luo Xikui felt quite aggrieved. Wasn't this how they always were? This little dumpling is getting weirder and weirder as it grows up.
If she doesn't want to touch it, she doesn't want to. Does she care?
Well, okay, she does like it.
"Then tell me what you're angry about," Luo Xikui asked persistently.
Xu Ziyu opened his mouth, wanting to ask where he was inferior to Yuan Cheng in teaching, but his pride made him shut his mouth, and he just remained silent with a cold face.
Luo Xikui had no choice but to hurry after him.
It seemed that without her even realizing it, her Tuantuan had already grown half a head taller than her and was taking bigger strides, making it difficult for her to keep up.
But she still has to try her best to keep up, whether it's walking, studying, or anything else.
"Come to my house to study." Xu Ziyu noticed there weren't many taxis nearby, so he headed towards the bus stop.
There were many students leaving the stadium at this time. The two squeezed onto the bus, but there were no seats, and they were squeezed together in a crowded place.
Luo Xikui was too short to reach the top handle. She was looking around for something to hold onto when the car started moving. She lost her balance and instinctively grabbed Xu Ziyu's waist.
After the car came to a stop, she came to her senses and realized that she was hugging him, her cheeks flushing red.
Although she really wanted to keep holding on like that, she was a girl and had to be a little reserved, so she reluctantly let go.
Instead, after she let go, he grabbed her arm. She looked up at him and saw that he was holding the handle with one hand and steadying her with the other. Despite the crowd around them, he was like a protective barrier, preventing her from being pushed around.
"Thank you," she said to herself with a sweet smile.
