Pan Guangyao ran towards Lin Xin'ai, stopped in front of her, and said happily, "Xin'ai, did you come to watch my match?"
Can he understand that his beloved wants to give him a surprise?
"I, I..."
Faced with Pan Guangyao's expectant gaze, Lin Xin'ai subconsciously looked away. She was not good at lying, and she would blush whenever she did.
Unexpectedly, she met a pair of dark, piercing eyes and froze instantly. A sense of nervousness slowly welled up in her heart, but at the same time, she felt a little happy. Did he recognize her?
Almost at first glance, Li Cheng'an recognized Lin Xin'ai. He was undoubtedly happy at that moment. Just as he was about to walk over, he noticed Pan Guangyao in front of her. The two seemed to have a good relationship, and his face immediately darkened.
Zhou Yan suddenly felt a chill on his neck. At first glance, he saw that the boss's face had darkened.
Following his gaze but not noticing anything amiss, Zhou Yan fearlessly stepped forward and asked, "Boss, who upset you?"
"nothing."
Li Cheng'an withdrew his gaze, turned around with a dark face.
Zhou Yan: "..." He doesn't look like anything's wrong at all.
Lin Xin'ai lowered her eyes in disappointment.
Seeing that Xin'ai seemed to be captivated by Li Cheng'an, Huang Zicheng quickly smoothed things over, "Brother Guangyao, I dragged Xin'ai here to watch the game."
The implication is that you shouldn't get the wrong idea.
Pan Guangyao could certainly tell that Huang Zicheng's words had a hidden meaning, but he was not discouraged.
When the second round began, even if there were many more words to say, they had to be swallowed.
"Honey, I'm going to play ball now."
Ruby Lin nodded absentmindedly.
The second match started soon after.
This match seems to be even more intense than the last one.
Huang Zicheng nudged Lin Xin'ai's arm, blinked, and asked with a gossipy look, "Xin'ai, do you know Li Cheng'an? You've been looking at him the whole time."
Lin Xin'ai turned her head to look at Huang Zicheng. They were good friends, and she didn't want to lie to her.
She bit her lip and nodded, "Yes, I lived at my grandma's house for a while when I was little, that's when we met. But so many years have passed, maybe people have forgotten me."
The thought of Li Cheng'an forgetting her made her heart ache.
"Wow, you really are..."
Huang Zicheng gasped in surprise, but her mouth was covered the next second.
"Purple Orange, keep your voice down."
Several girls nearby noticed their commotion and turned around curiously.
Lin Xin'ai quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The exciting scenes from the competition captivated them, so they didn't hold a grudge against Lin Xin'ai.
Huang Zicheng muttered to herself, "Maybe he still remembers you, my love. Why don't you ask him out to meet me?"
"By the way, you should also know his sister, Li Yuanyuan. She studies painting. She went out to a competition these past few days, so she's not here today. I heard he dotes on his sister, is that right?"
"Yes, he spoils Yuanyuan a lot."
Regardless, Lin Xin'ai couldn't wait to meet Yuanyuan.
I wonder what the little girl is like now.
In the second match, Li Cheng'an displayed explosive power, and the Finance Department ultimately won, securing a best-of-three series. The entire audience erupted in cheers.
"My love, Li Cheng'an won! Li Cheng'an won! Aren't you happy?"
Huang Zicheng cheered loudly, just like the other girls.
Lin Xin'ai was happy, but she couldn't bring herself to make such an exaggerated gesture.
Li Cheng'an wiped his face with a towel, glancing at Lin Xin'ai every now and then. Seeing that she seemed unmoved, he became even more annoyed.
But then someone came up to offer help. Yuan Shuijing handed over the water, her face flushed with shyness, "Li Cheng'an, are you thirsty? I have some water here."
She had never seen such a handsome boy in her entire life. Usually, it was men who fawned over her, but now it was the other way around, and she was happy about it.
Upon smelling the strong perfume, Li Cheng'an frowned and subconsciously took a step back.
"No need, stay away from me, I can't stand the smell of your perfume."
"Cough cough cough..."
Zhou Yan was taken aback by his boss's blunt, masculine remark.
Yuan Shuijing was immediately both embarrassed and anxious. This was her favorite perfume, but Li Cheng'an didn't like it.
Fortunately, there was no one else around besides Zhou Yan, otherwise she would have been utterly humiliated.
To outsiders, it looked like Li Cheng'an was talking to Yuan Shuijing, which was why Yuan Shuijing was shy.
"A handsome man and a beautiful woman, they're a match made in heaven." Someone muttered under their breath. They all knew very well that if even the school beauty couldn't win over Li Cheng'an, then they had even less of a chance.
Seeing this, Huang Zicheng couldn't help but purse her lips and say, "My dear, please don't take it to heart. In my opinion, you and Li Cheng'an are a match made in heaven!"
"Zi Cheng, please stop saying that," Lin Xin'ai hurriedly stopped her, afraid that others would hear.
In fact, she had witnessed what had just happened and was already in great pain.
At this moment, Pan Guangyao walked over with heavy and slow steps, as if he were carrying a heavy burden.
He stopped in front of Lin Xin'ai and stood there silently, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
Lin Xin'ai is very perceptive and immediately saw through Pan Guangyao's sadness and disappointment.
She gently comforted him, "Brother Guangyao, there are wins and losses in competitions, that's perfectly normal. You don't need to worry too much about the result of this match." Her voice was gentle yet firm, carrying a reassuring strength.
Pan Guangyao raised his head, his gaze fixed on Lin Xin'ai, a hint of doubt and unease in his eyes: "Xin'ai, don't you think we lost badly this time?" His tone was tinged with self-deprecation and helplessness.
Lin Xin'ai gently shook her head and replied with a smile, "I don't think so, Brother Guangyao. In my heart, you are already amazing."
It's just that this time his opponent happens to be Li Cheng'an.
Hearing this, Pan Guangyao felt a surge of warmth in his heart, realizing that his image in Xin'ai's heart had not collapsed because of this defeat, which made him extremely gratified. At the same time, he secretly resolved to work harder to improve himself and live up to Xin'ai's trust and support.
Pan Guangyao quickly composed himself and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
"OK."
Huang Zicheng was not about to miss out on a free meal, so she took Lin Xin'ai's hand and walked forward.
Lin Xin'ai turned her head, wanting to take another look at Li Cheng'an, but unexpectedly he was also looking at her, which startled her and made her look away.
When Li Cheng'an saw Lin Xin'ai leave with Pan Guangyao, a fire ignited in his chest, and his whole body radiated a chill.
"Cheng'an, I..."
Yuan Shuijing also heard people around her talking about them. In order to confirm their relationship, she mustered up her courage and took a step forward.
"I don't know you well, don't call me by my name."
After saying that, Li Cheng'an turned and left.
"Boss, wait for me."
Zhou Yan grabbed his backpack and quickly followed.
Yuan Shuijing was left standing there awkwardly.
