Although Shang Anqi said she would go later, she was more anxious than anyone else.
She asked someone to buy her some water, and then she got off the stands and walked into the basketball court following the path the basketball players had taken.
There were girls on the basketball court, but they were all basketball teams or referees, and they were all wearing the prescribed uniforms. So, Shang Anqi, who was wearing a dress and high heels, entered the basketball court and thought she attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone looked over and whispered among themselves.
"Who is that? Is she someone's girlfriend? She's in a competition, yet she's making such a big show of it by getting in."
Another person said, "Are you stupid? That's Shang Anqi. She's done far more high-profile things in the past. What's this?"
"What's she doing on the basketball court now? I've never seen her play basketball."
"Playing basketball dressed like that? Didn't you see? Senior Ling Shen is inside. She's definitely going there for Senior Ling Shen."
At this moment, another girl came over and said, "I heard before that Shang Anqi's family wanted to match Shang Anqi with Ling Shen. When I attended the party with them, I saw her sticking to Senior Ling Shen the whole time."
Now everyone understands.
Basketball games are lukewarm these days; people are more interested in off-court gossip, so everyone's attention has turned to Ling Shen and Shang Anqi.
Shang Anqi walked towards Ling Shen step by step, her high heels making a crisp sound on the floor.
This made her even more nervous.
Holding a glass of water, a smile playing on her lips, she approached little by little, her expression a mixture of trepidation and shyness.
Ling Shen didn't notice Shang Anqi's approach; his attention was entirely on his phone.
He had just watched Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue walk out, so he guessed that Qian Sui would probably send him a message later.
Ling Shen kept staring at his phone screen, and sure enough, not long after, Qian Sui's message came through.
Chitose said, "I'll wait for you at the milk tea shop outside the basketball court."
Ling Shen smiled slightly upon seeing the message.
He put his phone away, then got up and prepared to leave.
After Ling Shen got up, he turned and walked towards Shang Anqi.
When Shang Anqi saw Ling Shen get up and walk towards her, her breath hitched and her heart began to race.
She thought Ling Shen was walking towards her, so she stopped, reached out and tidied her hair, her face blushing shyly.
Many people in the audience who had been watching Shang Anqi earlier now had gossipy expressions as they saw Ling Shen get up and walk towards her.
Some people even took out their phones to take pictures.
As Shang Anqi watched Ling Shen approach, she mustered up her courage and reached out to greet him.
"Senior Ling Shen..."
Just as Shang Anqi raised her hand to greet him, Ling Shen acted as if he hadn't seen her at all, walking straight past her and heading towards the exit.
Shang Anqi: "......"
Everyone: "......"
What's going on?
The audience members watching were stunned; they had just thought they were going to get a photo of the campus's academic genius and goddess together.
Even if there's nothing romantic between the two people, just having them stand together and take a picture is enough to attract attention.
But Ling Shen completely ignored Shang Anqi, not even bothering to glance at her.
Although being ignored by Ling Shen was common, Shang Anqi was losing face with so many people watching.
She stood there, stunned, feeling utterly humiliated.
At that moment, the basketball player made the shot, and cheers erupted from the stands.
Shang Anqi felt that they were mocking her.
Shang Anqi clenched her fist silently, the water bottle in her hand becoming slightly deformed from her grip.
She turned to look in the direction Ling Shen had left, her jaw clenching.
She will definitely prove to everyone that she, Shang Anqi, can win over Ling Shen.
...
Ling Shen really didn't mean to ignore Shang Anqi.
He didn't even realize that the person was her.
Ling Shen knew there was such a person standing there, but subconsciously he felt that the person was probably the girlfriend of one of the basketball players on the court, there to bring water to her boyfriend.
Ling Shen was only thinking about finding Qian Sui, so he had no time to pay attention to these things.
Ling Shen walked out of the basketball court, and the cheers behind him gradually subsided.
Ling Shen hadn't been back to school for a long time and wasn't sure where Qian Sui's milk tea shop was. He walked around the basketball court before finally finding the milk tea shop Qian Sui had mentioned.
Luo Xinyue sat next to Qian Sui, resting her chin on her hand, and looked at Qian Sui.
"You just told me you were going back to buy things, were you going back to buy water for Ling Shen?"
Qian Sui nodded and said, "He said he had no water to drink."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xinyue rolled her eyes so hard they felt like they were about to explode.
Will Ling Shen not have any water to drink?
Not to mention that he could buy it himself, Ling Shen was just in the basketball court, and if he wanted to drink water, there were plenty of options there.
Ling Shen only bullies honest people like Qian Sui.
Seeing Qian Sui's naive and easily fooled expression, Luo Xinyue couldn't help but say, "Qian Sui, you need to be smarter in the future, don't keep getting tricked..."
Before Luo Xinyue could finish speaking, Ling Shen's voice rang out from behind her.
"Who deceived you?"
Ling Shen's voice was light and airy, yet it sent a chill down Luo Xinyue's spine.
Luo Xinyue's body stiffened, and her expression froze as well.
Qian Sui, who had been looking down, turned around when she heard the voice and saw Ling Shen standing behind Luo Xinyue.
Qian Sui tilted her head and said to Ling Shen very seriously.
