Chapter 7: Model Love in the Love Manual 4
After spending a few days in agony in a daze, I thought I could continue .
Today is the college basketball game, but I have no interest in watching it, because both Xi Yase and Xia Youshu will participate in the finals, and they are opponents. I can imagine how intense the atmosphere will be when the game starts without watching it.
However, no matter how I made excuses, Xia Youtian finally forced me to sit in the first row of the audience, and he stuffed water and a towel prepared for Xia Youshu in my hands.
"Come on! Xia Youshu! Come on!"
"The prince must win! Xi'Arthur must win!"
Xia Youshu and Xia Arthur's respective fan clubs turned into enthusiastic cheerleading teams. The girls wore sequined vests and miniskirts, and each held a glowing light stick in their hands. It was obviously just a basketball game, but they played as hard as if it were a superstar concert. Before the game even started, the cheers had already scared away all the birds outside the windows of the basketball hall.
Facing the dazzling sunlight, a group of tall boys were fighting hard, but I could only see one person - the running Shi Ya Arthur, the defending Shi Ya Arthur, and the attacking Shi Ya Arthur...
Oh my god, after just a few days of not seeing him, I actually found myself missing him so much...
When the game entered the second quarter, it turned into an exhibition match between Xia Arthur and Xia Youshu. If Xia Youshu scored a goal, Xia Arthur would immediately score a goal with the cooperation of his teammates. The two teams competed fiercely and the audience was also feasting their eyes.
"Wow! Hiasse is so handsome! Three-point shot!"
"Xia Youshu is also very powerful! Three people can't defend him!"
…
In an instant, the audience erupted in overwhelming cheers, the two names appeared alternately, and the girls were all extremely excited.
At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded——
“Halftime!”
Xia Youshu walked towards me with his long legs. He looked so handsome in his basketball uniform, with a blush on his perfect face and beads of sweat on his forehead. No wonder his fans were so excited that they almost fainted.
"Drink...drink water." I nervously handed him the water.
However, Xia Youtian, who was also wearing a blue team uniform, winked at the side and said, "Zhencheng, as my brother's girlfriend, shouldn't you help him wipe his sweat?"
I had no choice but to pick up the towel and wipe the sweat off Xia Youshu's forehead bit by bit. It was so embarrassing that my hands were a little stiff.
Xia Youshu stared at me intently, with a gentle look in his purple eyes. Suddenly, he whispered to me, "Zhencheng, do you remember the first day I transferred here? Your hairpin got caught on my clothes... At that time, I thought you were very interesting."
I smiled sheepishly: "Don't mention it, I was so embarrassed at that time, I really wanted to disappear immediately!"
Talking about the past, my nervous mood relaxed a little and I couldn't help but smile.
Inadvertently, I caught a glimpse of Xia Arthur opposite me out of the corner of my eye.
He was wearing a red team uniform and was surrounded by a large group of people, but even with so many people between them, he still stubbornly turned his head and looked over here.
Suddenly, my heart tightened—was he looking at me?
Although Xia Arthur was usually indifferent, he was polite to girls. But at this moment, several girls were holding sports drinks in their hands and looking up eagerly to give him water, but he didn't say a word. He just waved his hand impatiently, left the noisy crowd alone, and sat on the ground to drink the water he brought.
His figure was so lonely, even from such a distance, I could still feel his sadness.
A girl from the cheerleading team chased after him without giving up: "Xia Arthur, why are you sad for a girl like that? What's so good about Zhen Cheng! Why does she deserve that?"
Xia Arthur glanced at me indifferently and said very coldly: "This is my business, none of your business."
My hand trembled.
Xia Youshu immediately sensed my abnormality, put his hand on my shoulder, lowered his head and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
I shook my head and dared not look over there again.
However, the argument over there was getting louder and louder, and even if I didn't want to listen, I had to.
"Just because no one says anything doesn't mean I don't know! Zhencheng is not a good girl at all. Why should you be sad for her? Do you know that except Zhencheng, all of us here are worried about you?" The girl was about to cry.
My tears quickly gathered up, I lowered my head and gritted my teeth to prevent the tears from falling.
Xi Yaser stood up suddenly, with anger in his voice: “If you say bad things about her again, don’t blame me for being rude!”
The entire basketball court fell silent in an instant, and even Xia Youshu's hand on my shoulder froze. I sniffed hard, trying hard not to cry out loud.
Xia Arthur, I treated you so badly, but you still defended me so much, why...
You big idiot!
Sean scratched his hair in frustration and shouted to the referee, "Why is the halftime break so long? Isn't it over yet?"
The referee frantically held up his baseball cap that was about to fall off, and whispered, "One more minute, how about we start now?"
Xia Arthur stood far away, his eyes swept over me, his expression turned cold, and he looked at Xia Youshu provocatively.
Xia Youshu put his arm around my shoulders and whispered, "Zhencheng, you will cheer me on, right?"
I nodded and said sadly, "Yes..."
But later, I couldn't force myself to watch such a brutal game, so I secretly ran away before it ended.
Ever since the basketball game ended, I have become even more afraid to get along with Xia Youshu. Whenever I look at him, I will think of what Xia Arthur said, and I will feel particularly hateful and unable to pretend to be happy.
Finally, even Xia Youtian couldn't stand it anymore. After school that day, he called me to the bench next to the musical fountain.
The radio station of Blaise College was playing Bach's piano music, and the beautiful melody flowed through the campus, adding a classical and elegant atmosphere. The fountain in front of us flowed slowly, reflecting the glory of the setting sun.
Xia Youtian was wearing a blue sports suit and an ink-black wristband on his fair wrist. He looked like a cheerful and sunny boy.
"Zhen Cheng, you and my brother are so stupid! I've never seen anyone dating like you two, it's so frustrating!"
Xia Youtian said this and handed me a mini book.
It was only the size of my palm, but it was from the same series as the black notebook he always carried with him. On the back of the book was a hand-drawn little red devil holding a trident in his hand, revealing cute but evil little fangs.
"'The Love Manual'..." I murmured the title of the book and couldn't help but shudder. I had a hunch that this strange book must not be about good things.
"...So, I decided to help you!" Xia Youtian continued to talk , "Look, this book contains the love strategies I carefully selected! The book says that as long as you follow them, you can find the feeling of true love."
"But..." I began hesitantly.
"But what! Don't you want to fulfill our agreement?"
Xia Youtian raised his eyebrows, and a cold light flashed in his purple eyes, which were exactly the same as Xia Youshu's.
"Okay." His threat worked. I put the strange book into my pocket and nodded heavily. "You win, Xia Youtian."
