Chapter 232 - Lean on Me (2/2)

Li Qin Yao stared at the ball in his hand and hesitated. Looking at the anticipation in his face, she then agreed. ”Okay. But you should go easy on me. You know that I am not good at this sport.”

Pulling her into the center of the court, Zhang Yu Han gave her a crash course to refresh her memory on the game. Then, he passed the ball to her to let her shoot a ball, while he played as the defender.

Li Qin Yao dribbled the ball on the court and just as she shot a ball into the hoop, her husband had appeared in front of her to block the ball.

Even though she knew the ball will not go into the hoop, seeing that Zhang Yu Han had blocked the ball still make her unhappy. She pouted at him and pretended to be angry before she stole the ball from his hand.

Zhang Yu Han watched her act speechlessly before he started to chase after her.

Knowing that their difference in height might cause them an accident, Zhang Yu Han was careful not to bump into her.

Seeing that he had started to chase after her, Li Qin Yao let out a yelp before she ran away with the ball.

Half an hour later, Li Qin Yao sat at the bench and panted to catch up with her breath. Soon after, a bottle of drinking water appeared beside her. Li Qin Yao tilted her head up and saw her husband's smiling face. She took the bottle from him and started drinking.

”Drink slowly,” Zhang Yu Han reminded as he sat down beside her.

Li Qin Yao narrowed her eyes at her husband. ”I lost. Zhang Yu Han, you bullied me. You won't even let me score once.” Although she could not score a ball because of her terrible shot, Li Qin Yao still wanted to blame it on her husband.

”Alright. It was my fault,” Zhang Yu Han spoke softly. ”I should have let you score once.”

”Hearing that does not make me feel any better,” Li Qin Yao frowned.

Zhang Yu Han chuckled. He stared at her face for a while and said, ”But you had fun, right?”

Li Qin Yao heaved a sigh before she nodded. ”Un.” She turned to Zhang Yu Han with a smile on her face.

”It's good that you had fun.” he bopped at her nose.

”But why did you suddenly take me to play basketball?”

”I hope that this will help you to clear your mind a little bit.” He stared at her for a few seconds longer and said, ”Qin Yao, recently, I noticed that you have been staring out a lot. Are you in trouble?”

Suddenly, Li Qin Yao felt her heart ached at his tone of voice. As someone who loved the sound of his voice, Li Qin Yao could hear that there was a tone of sadness in his voice.

”It's not that,” she tried to smile to ease his worry. ”I just have something in my mind. Don't worry too much.”

”How can I not worry?” Zhang Yu Han sighed at her answer. ”I know that you can be very independent. But Qin Yao, as your husband, I also wish that you would tell me anything that has been weighing your mind and learn to lean on me.”

The smile on her face gradually disappeared. She met his gaze and saw the way he was looking back at her tenderly.

”Even if I cannot do anything to help, I wish to face every hardship and difficulties together with you. If you have anything that has been troubling you, I wish that you can share them with me.”
