Chapter 10 (2/2)

And him, just like her wish, has never had any friends.

And now, even his basketball buddies were gone.

His only belonging, also gone.

”Liu Kaiyan!”

He thought he had heard his name. He must have misheard; Lin Xiuping had just left, who'd dare speak to him? Who'd want their parents to be called ”your kind of people” because of him?

”Liu Kaiyan! Eh? Did I get your name wrong?”

As soon as the dubious self-questioning had stopped, Liu Kaiyan heard hurried footsteps coming toward him followed by someone grabbing his wrist.

He froze and looked down. It was a white, little hand that was wrapped around his wrist.

”This fellow schoolmate, here's your basketball…”

He turned around and his eyes narrowed.

Standing behind him, Su Tian had one hand on his wrist and one hand holding up the basketball. She was a little out of breath from running toward him; her face pink and cute from the fl.u.s.tering.

The sun shone on her directly, giving her a saint-like glow.

Her smile was bright; so bright that Liu Kaiyan squinted subconsciously so he wouldn't be burned by it.

”I thought about it some more and didn't feel right taking your stuff so I brought it back to you!”

Naturally, that was just a story that she'd made up. This basketball was well taken care of. Not only was it signed, it even had a little figure drawn on it. It was quite obvious that it was well-loved by its owner. Given the situation earlier, even if she had tried and returned the basketball, his mother was probably just going to throw it away again.
