Chapter 971: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-He’s Minding (56)

For the rest of the day, it was Uncle John and his wife who went to Grandpa’s room to sit down and chat, while Little John, who was about the same age as Zuo Yue, found a place to chat with her alone in Xu’s house.

Zuo Yue didn’t feel that they were very familiar with each other, so they didn’t talk much. However, Little John kept chatting with her as if he had started a chatterbox. They talked about the interesting things he had done abroad over the years, about what he had seen and heard when he was studying in England, and about some opinions on other countries, as well as about the wars in some countries.

Although they were both normal men and these topics were not boring, Zuo Yue could not gather her energy. She just sat opposite John Junior and listened to him. She supported her chin with one hand and looked at him. She could only see his mouth moving, but she could not hear what he said.

“Are you not feeling well?” John Junior saw that she was listless and asked with concern,””Do you want to go out for a walk? I haven’t been to the Xu family’s house for many years. I remember that there’s a small golf course near the parking lot in front.”

“Sure,” It just so happened that Zuo Yue also felt bored, so she stood up and walked out with John Junior.

The small football field in the Xu residence was a feature of the Xu residence. Many years ago, when Grandpa was still healthy, he would often invite some old friends to play football at home in order to exercise his body. However, in recent years, because Grandpa’s health was not good, other than the servants who usually cleaned up, no one had played football for a long time.

John Junior was very athletic. Although he had a boyish personality, he was still like a child like Zuo Yue. He had been playing with the ball since he arrived at the court. There was a basketball hoop beside him. After the servant brought the basketball over, John Junior had been performing shooting.

Zuo Yue sat beside the court and watched him shoot, but her mind was in a mess.

It was not until Little John had thrown the basket for a while that he turned around and sat beside her. Because the bench next to her was not very spacious, the two of them sat very close to each other. Zuo Yue was still in a daze and did not notice how close Little John was sitting.

“Zuo Yue, you’re already eighteen years old, right? Don’t you have a boyfriend?” John Junior asked as he turned his head to her while playing with the ball in his hand.

Zuo Yue turned to look at him. The two of them were very close because of their sitting posture. She looked at the glimmer in John Junior’s eyes and smiled. She asked jokingly,””What’s wrong? If I really haven’t found a boyfriend yet, do you still want to try it out with me?”

“Tsk, if I really wanted to try it out with you, then you’d definitely have picked up a treasure. How can you say that I’m just making up the numbers? Don’t think that I don’t understand Chinese idioms. When I was studying in England, I studied Chinese. Although I’m not that proficient, I understand the meaning of those idioms.”

Seeing that he was still as mischievous as when he was young, Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him with a smile.

Little John suddenly reached out and put his arm around her shoulder like a good friend. Zuo Yue felt that he was not taking advantage of her, but just naturally put his arm around her shoulder. Although she was not used to it, she did not immediately shake him off. Instead, she raised her eyebrows.”Why? Aren’t you afraid that my grandfather will jump out of bed and break your legs if you touch the Xu family?”

“Tsk, I didn’t take advantage of you.” John Junior put his arm around her shoulder and handed the ball to her.””I can tell that you’re in a bad mood. Do you want to play basketball with me? Playing basketball to vent his emotions would make him feel much better.”

Zuo Yue didn’t take it and just pushed him with a smile.””Go fight it yourself.”

“Tsk, how disappointing.” John Junior snorted and let go of her. He bounced the ball and returned to the basketball hoop to continue shooting.
