Chapter 46 - I Grew Taller (2/2)

Li Qin Yao laughed and quickly agreed. ”Now you know how to be afraid?”

”You don't understand,” Han Yue Xiu heaved a long sigh. ”My boss' expression when I threw him some insult before I leave was not that good. I'm afraid that if he found me at my apartment, he might kill me.”

The two girls walked around the neighborhood and came across a basketball court. Han Yue Xiu stopped at her track and stood behind the fence to watch a group of men playing a three-on-three game.

”How long has it been since you stop playing basketball?” Li Qin Yao asked.

”I cannot remember,” Han Yue Xiu answered with a sigh. ”Probably around college?”

”It has been so many years, huh? When you were in high school, you were really good at basketball,” a smile appeared on Li Qin Yao's lips as she recalled their younger self.

Years ago, she had come to watch her best friend's game and was amazed at how the players could shoot a three-pointer. So, when the others were on break, Li Qin Yao had snuck in to try shooting the ball. It was her first attempt, and she shot a three-pointer. It was a miracle that the ball went in the hoop.

However, that was the only time she had shot a ball and entered. Her countless attempts right after had failed, even under Han Yue Xiu's guidance. In the end, Li Qin Yao gave up trying and decided that she had no talent in that game.

One of the men on the basketball jumped with the ball in his hand and slam-dunked. Han Yue Xiu clapped her hands excitedly.

Li Qin Yao squinted her eyes as she found that the man was somewhat familiar. Before she could identify the man, Han Yue Xiu spoke and diverted her attention.

”Years ago, you were shorter,” Han Yue Xiu pointed out.

”Shut up,” Li Qin Yao evaded when Han Yue Xiu suddenly moved to touch her head. ”I grew taller.”

Han Yue Xiu laughed at Li Qin Yao's proud look. ”Yeah, who would have thought that once you entered college, you would grow a few inches taller.” She gave a teasing smile and said, ”But I'm still taller than you.”

Li Qin Yao rolled her eyes. She glanced at the court and saw that the game had ended, and the players started to scatter. ”Come on. Let's go and buy some milk tea before my mom started to worry.”

As the girls started to walk away, Li Qin Yao heard a familiar voice calling out her name. She turned around and was dumbstruck upon seeing Wei Jun Hao waving his hands at her. Behind him was Zhang Yu Han and a few others that she did not know.

Li Qin Yao felt the corner of her mouth started to twitch when she saw Zhang Yu Han. Recently, Li Qin Yao noticed that when she goes out, she would have this chance encounter with him.

”Isn't that the insurance salesman?” Han Yue Xiu whispered as she nudged Li Qin Yao on her waist.
