Chapter 48 - He Was Lying (1/2)

After her countless attempts to shoot the ball into the hoop for the past few years, this was the second time that Li Qin Yao succeeded! When she thought about that, Li Qin Yao was astounded.

She stood in the middle of the basketball court while staring at the hoop in dumbfounded. It was not until Han Yue Xiu had pulled her a tight hug did she snapped out of her trance.

”Yue Xiu, I can't breathe,” Li Qin Yao gasped.

”Sorry! Sorry!” Han Yue Xiu smiled sheepishly. ”Yao Yao, don't tell me that you have been secretly practicing?”

As the person who tried to teach Li Qin Yao how to play basketball, Han Yue Xiu was the witness who saw Li Qin Yao's fail attempts to shoot the ball into the hoop.

Li Qin Yao shook her head. ”I haven't. I was as surprised as you are.”

Soon, the boys surrounded her and praised her for her shot. Gradually, Li Qin Yao's face turned red with embarrassment. However, not long after, Wei Jun Hao pulled the boys away to create an opportunity for Zhang Yu Han.

Zhang Yu Han narrowed his eyes dangerously at his friend. But once he turned his head to Li Qin Yao, his cold demeanor disappeared. ”Where are you heading to next? Do you need a ride?”

”We're alright,” Li Qin Yao was quick to decline.

”We're going to get some milk tea,” Han Yue Xiu spilled. ”We heard that the milk tea around this neighborhood was quite popular.”

”Coincidentally, now that we have done with playing, we were planning to go and get some milk tea as well,” Zhang Yu Han lied.

He was not a fan of those sweet milk tea and did not understand why people were crazy about this trend. However, he had spoken those words subconsciously once he heard that he had the chance to be around her a bit longer.

Han Yue Xiu stared at Zhang Yu Han for a few seconds longer before she said, ”Then, let's go together.” She felt how Li Qin Yao was poking her on her waist and pretended to feel nothing. ”We are going in the same direction anyway,” she spoke to Zhang Yu Han and turned to her friend with a smile on her face.

A hint of surprise flashed on Zhang Yu Han's eyes briefly. ”Sorry. I haven't introduced myself. I am Zhang Yu Han. Han Yue Xiu, right?”

Han Yue Xiu shook hands with the man and nodded. ”You know me?” she asked Zhang Yu Han while glancing at her friend.

”I've seen you before during the basketball tournament in high school. You're popular among the female player,” Zhang Yu Han said. Of course, he was lying again. If Wei Jun Hao did not mention these things previously, he wouldn't know anything about Han Yue Xiu.

”Really?” Han Yue Xiu laughed at his praise.

Zhang Yu Han nodded. ”I better tell the others about this plan first,” he said. Then, Zhang Yu Han went to his friends and invited everyone to come along. In the end, his words left his friends dumbfounded.

Lin Xiao Feng, who was among the boys, poked Wei Jun Hao on his arms. ”What's wrong with Captain? Since when did he drink milk tea? Didn't he look down on those drinks before?”

As the boys were previously from the same basketball team, the boys have gotten used to calling Zhang Yu Han as 'Captain.' The habit stayed although they have left the school for years.

Wei Jun Hao sighed as he put his arms on Lin Xiao Feng's shoulder. ”You wouldn't understand.” He turned his head and saw his friend, blinking his eyes in confusion.

”Jun Hao, what wouldn't I understand?”

”When the time is right, you will naturally understand,” Wei Jun Hao spoke again.

In the end, because he was trying to be so mysterious about it, Wei Jun Hao received a few beating from his friends.
