In the first basketball game, Class One's boys' team won with a score of 83:30, and the girls' team also achieved a good result of 55:13. The class teacher was beaming from ear to ear. At noon, he told the students to take a good rest as they still had to play in the afternoon.
Actually, the situation for the girls' team was quite clear. Winning the first place wouldn't be a big problem. The key was the boys' team.
As soon as the afternoon game started, Jiang Ling scored points one after another. Su Rou had to admit that although Jiang Ling looked gentle and refined, he was really good at playing basketball! Watching the boys play was actually quite exciting, as long as... they didn't take off their clothes!
Su Rou rolled her eyes as she watched one of the boys suddenly take off his shirt while playing. Then, sweating profusely, he ran on the court, looking quite unrestrained. It made the girls around scream. Su Rou frowned slightly. Was it really necessary? Just because he took off his shirt, the girls screamed. Didn't they think his dark and oily skin looked a bit... strange?
Boys at this age would consciously work out their bodies. However, due to limited time, it was impossible for them to go to the gym while at school. So, many boys did have abs, but they were only faintly visible. It was almost like not seeing them at all!
As soon as Jiang Ling took the court in the afternoon, he searched for Su Rou's figure everywhere. "Jiang Ling, what are you looking for? The game is about to start!"
"Yeah." Jiang Ling responded absent - mindedly and continued searching around. When he finally found Su Rou in his sight, he let out a slight sigh of relief and then showed a faint smile. "Let's go!"
Jiang Ling played with great enthusiasm in the afternoon game. After all, with Su Rou watching, he had to play hard, right? Moreover, the second team in the preliminary round didn't seem to be very strong.
"Wow, Jiang Ling is so amazing!"
"Three slam - dunks. He's so cool!"
Even Jiang Ling's brothers were a bit surprised. Jiang Ling seemed so energetic today. Was it because of that Su Rou? Several boys turned their gazes towards Su Rou. They saw Su Rou standing on a stone bench, looking a bit aloof.
Several boys immediately understood. It seemed that Jiang Ling was inspired by Su Rou. "Jiang Ling, are you going to invite our cute classmate Su Xiaorou for a drink after the game?"
Jiang Ling raised his eyebrows. "Her name is Su Rou."
"Uh..." What did that mean?
Her name was Su Rou. Jiang Ling didn't like other boys casually changing her name so intimately! "Need you say?" Of course he would invite Su Rou for a drink.
Several boys sighed and shook their heads. Talking to Jiang Ling felt a bit confusing. People in love were really unreasonable!
When Jiang Ling ended the game ahead of schedule, he left his brothers and those girls who wanted to curry favor with him and walked directly towards Su Rou. "Xiaorou." Jiang Ling looked up at her.
"Are you done playing?" Su Rou jumped down from the stone bench.
"Yeah. I'll invite you to have something to eat." Jiang Ling said. "To celebrate our advancement to the semi - finals."
Su Rou thought for a while. "Yunyun and Feifei..." She looked at the girls' court. Xiao Yun and Yu Fei were still playing. It didn't seem right to just leave them like this.
Jiang Ling looked at their game situation. "They'll at least play for another half an hour. You can buy them juice later." He could ignore her best friends for now. The most important thing was to get Su Rou first!
Su Rou nodded. "Okay."
In No. 1 Middle School, there were all kinds of shops to suit the students' tastes. Among them, there were many milk tea shops that couples liked to go to. At this time, there were already several couples in the milk tea shop who were out for a rendezvous. When Su Rou and Jiang Ling walked in, they even saw a couple kissing. Su Rou took a look and then turned her head to see what was nice to drink in the milk tea shop.
The shop owner was a female college student. She was very lively and always wore a smile on her face. When she saw Jiang Ling come in, she smiled again. "A handsome young man is here. What would you like to order?"
Su Rou looked at the shop owner and then at Jiang Ling. "Do you know each other?"
The shop owner opened her eyes in surprise. "How do you know?"
"You two look a bit alike." Su Rou said honestly.
Did they look alike? A boy and a girl looking a bit alike. Was that a compliment or an insult? Jiang Ling chuckled. "She's my cousin."
Jiang Yu laughed. "Xiaoling, is this your girlfriend?" Jiang Ling was getting older and it was time for him to find a girlfriend. Although people like them attached more importance to family background, Jiang Ling was a boy. If he really liked someone, family background wouldn't be a big problem.
As soon as Jiang Yu said this, Jiang Ling didn't deny it immediately. In his heart, he was sure that Su Rou would be his future girlfriend. It just depended on... Su Rou's attitude!
Su Rou first looked carefully at the juice menu. She didn't hear Jiang Yu's words very clearly. But after a while, she suddenly looked up. "No, we're classmates in the same class."
Jiang Ling was a bit happy at first because Su Rou didn't refute immediately. Did it mean that she also admitted it in her heart? But before he could be proud for a few seconds, he still heard her rejecting words. The expression on Jiang Ling's face immediately turned a bit gloomy. "What would you like to drink?"
Oh, oh, oh! Her always popular cousin had suffered a setback. It was really rare! Before, he just didn't take those girls seriously. Now, it was his turn to reap what he had sown! Jiang Yu laughed unkindly.
"Jiang Yu!" Jiang Ling warned Jiang Yu unhappily.
"Humph, so rude!" Jiang Yu snorted. This young but precocious younger brother actually dared to call her by her name directly. How impolite! No wonder that little girl rejected him. He deserved it!
Su Rou didn't notice the spark between them. She pointed at a cup of coffee milk tea with a slender finger. "I'll have this."
"What about you?" Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Ling.
"Latte."
Jiang Ling took Su Rou to a seat on one side and sat down. He found, a bit depressed, that he shouldn't have brought Su Rou to this place. Looking at the tables beside them, there were sweet scenes of boys and girls sharing a drink together. Some were even kissing while drinking. And some were writing "I love you" on a sticky note and pasting it on the wall...
Damn it. Wasn't this just torturing single people!
Jiang Yu personally brought the drinks they ordered to their table. "Here you are. Enjoy." The smile on Jiang Yu's face never disappeared. Haha, there was going to be a good show!
"Jiang Yu, are you too idle!" She was actually standing there peeping.
"Hehe."
It was just so rare!
