Chapter 7: Love Rival, Love Rival! two
When An Yixuan stepped onto the court, he seemed to become a different person, full of enthusiasm and passion. He ran around the court grabbing the ball, and then shot the ball gracefully under the gaze of everyone, just like an outstanding basketball star. He reminded me of Jordan, Jeremy Lin, and many celebrities who play basketball. The basketball seemed to have life in his hands, and he naturally became a role similar to that of the captain.
"So handsome! Come on, An Yixuan!" The girls' screams rang out from time to time, almost all directed at An Yixuan.
In fact, the boys who play basketball are all good-looking, tall and strong. If it weren’t for An Yixuan, they would be enough to attract the attention of many girls. But An Yixuan is too dazzling. I really wonder if such a person can have friends?
My eyes were wandering around the court and off the court, and my thoughts were also flying. Suddenly, I saw that familiar figure again, tall, pretty face, eyes that seemed to sparkle under the bangs, Yayi, hum, she's here again! But the basketball court is not mine alone, and An Yixuan is not mine alone either. What right do I have to stop them from watching?
I looked at Yayi from the corner of my eye. Her oval face gave her a delicate and charming beauty. Her bangs and long black hair made her look like a heroine from a comic book. Especially her long and straight legs, which would probably make many boys bleed from their noses! Yayi was really beautiful and delicate in high school, like a beautiful landscape on campus. She must have had many suitors, but she just fell in love with Anyixuan, such an excellent Anyixuan!
My heart suddenly became sad. Yayi and An Yixuan are really a perfect match when they stand together. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is always pleasing to the eyes. An Yixuan was with Yayi back then because of her attraction. What about now? Can I stop what is going to happen? Will An Yixuan still fall in love with Yayi? Will the two of them still follow the trajectory of fate and start a relationship together?
I think the expression on An Yixuan's face when he mentioned Yayi showed that he was enjoying it!
"The girlfriend I dated in my first year of high school had a great figure, almost like a female celebrity. Although we broke up after only being together for a few months, I still feel very satisfied when I think about it now." An Yixuan was chatting with a friend, but I overheard it with my attentive eyes.
An Yixuan's friends all looked at him with a grin, as if they were enjoying a good show.
An Yixuan immediately looked at me with a smile and begged for mercy and said, "My Xizi is still the most beautiful. My favorite is Sakiko. Those are all past events. I can't even remember them clearly."
"I know, I know. The girl's name seems to be Yayi, a very gentle name. As the saying goes, beauty is on the other side of the water. How did you catch up with her back then?" Everyone has a few bad friends, and An Yixiuan is no exception. His bad friends are now cheering him on to speak.
I also said in a tone that I wanted to listen: "Then tell me nicely. I want to hear it too. Which girl is so blind as to fall in love with you?"
"Am I the kind of person who can chase after someone? She was the one who kept pestering me back then, and I dated her because she was so pretty! But I was young and didn't know anything, I just thought she was pretty and was chasing after me so I agreed. After dating for a while I felt there was no point so we broke up." An Yixuan had a begging expression on his face, "You are young and don't understand love. My favorite is Sakiko."
I looked at Yayi's young and beautiful face, and remembered An Yixuan's words that I love Sashiko the most. I felt mixed emotions. Maybe no matter whether she or I, we are just passers-by in An Yixuan's heart? Stop! How can I be so pessimistic! I took a few deep breaths. I, Sashiko, will not give up easily! Otherwise, what is the point of going back to 16 years old! Those who haven't appeared yet should be prevented from appearing as much as possible, and those who have appeared should be contained as much as possible!
What is Yayi? She was just a passer-by back then, and now she is not even a passer-by! I said this viciously in my heart, but when I saw Yayi excitedly cheering for An Yixuan, I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. I seemed to be better than Yayi in both figure and appearance. Not to mention me now, even when I am an adult, I am not as beautiful as Yayi! I glanced at the boys in the field again, and many of them were secretly looking at Yayi.
Among that group of girls, Yayi was like the moon, with an irresistible glow. I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, lowering my head and falling into infinite melancholy. What if An Yixuan really fell in love with Yayi? Am I going to fail before I succeed ? I finally got close to An Yixuan and finally made An Yixuan like me. Is everything in vain? Then what's the point of me going to St. John's? Besides, if An Yixuan is really with Yayi, wouldn't I become the third party if I pursued An Yixuan? No, I am obviously the original partner! I am the one who should be with An Yixuan!
"Hey, what are you doing?" An Yixuan walked to my side at some point and patted my head gently.
I looked up at the tall An Yixuan, my brain still a little slow to react: "Aren't you playing basketball?"
An Yixuan frowned in dissatisfaction: "It's halftime now. Hey, what are you thinking about? You didn't even look at me the whole afternoon. You were just looking at girls!" His tone became slightly heavier, as if declaring his dissatisfaction.
I lowered my head and bit my lip again, not knowing what to say. After struggling for a long time, I raised my head and looked at An Yixuan and asked, "Um... do you like girls like Yayi?"
An Yixuan raised his eyebrows and looked at me for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter, his obsidian eyes seemed to be glowing. He patted my head again and said in a light tone, "I really haven't thought about it. It's okay, I'll think about it."
I pouted and lowered my head in a bad mood. Was he smiling so happily because he thought of Yayi? Was it because a girl as beautiful as Yayi was chasing him that made him feel good? He still needed to think about it, so what about me? What am I?
An Yixuan suddenly reached out and pinched my face, still smiling: "What a fool."
"Who are you saying is stupid? Why are you pinching me?" I pouted, slapped his hand away, and asked unhappily.
An Yixuan was not angry, and continued to say with a smile: "You have so many random thoughts every day. How much can your little head contain? No wonder you have to stay up late to read books and do homework."
"Is it okay that I'm stupid? Can't the early bird catch the worm? Is there anything wrong with me trying hard?" I raised my head and glared at An Yixuan, as if I had eaten dynamite and could explode at any time.
An Yixuan gently touched my head and said in a gentle tone: "Be good, I don't dislike you."
I was still angry and felt extremely depressed.
An Yixuan said helplessly: "Why do you become so easily angry? I still have to continue playing basketball. I will take you to eat something delicious later! There will be braised pork ribs in the cafeteria today. I remember you like ribs the most." An Yixuan touched my head again and then went back to the court to play basketball.
I continued to sit on the ground by myself, and glanced at the girls around me. Why were they all glaring at me fiercely? Especially that Yayi, whose beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with mist, looking at me with a look of both grievance and unwillingness, but such an expression could still give me a feeling of pity, even as a girl, I couldn't help but be moved.
But why did I suddenly feel like I had become a public enemy? I felt a chill all over my body, and the looks from those girls were like knives.
"No way, is An Yixuan okay? Do you like her?"
"That's so boring. I won't accept it if it's really her. How could it be her?"
"My male god, did you forget to take your medicine?"
"Have you become stupid from studying? Or has your taste changed? I'm prettier than her, right?"
"Let's go, it's boring, the male god's aesthetic taste is worrying."
Intermittent words came into my ears. I stared at them in confusion for a while. Are they discussing An Yixuan and me? Why do they like me? It must be a problem with their aesthetics! I pouted and shifted my attention to An Yixuan. Ignore them, ignore them, I warned myself in my heart.
