She despises the look in his eyes . It’s filled with distress . Or is it her illusion? She claps her hands before picking herself off the ground . “Why are you competing so aggressively? I didn’t want to see… so…! That ball, did it go in?”
She lies . She seldom does it, but for freedom, she will . She’s must keep talking or her guilt will crush her . It’s already making her uncomfortable, and it has only been a moment since she’s fallen . To make things worse, she didn’t see the result .
Han Qilu expected too much . He stares into her eyes . “I lost . ” Conceding defeat, he picks up An Chuxia’s Fanta and drinks most of the bottle’s content . He then looks at Xiao Mingluo . “An Chuxia isn’t my possession . She can’t be used as a bet . ”
Surprised by his words, she gawks at him . Then, she bellows, “Hey! This is my Fanta, I’ve drank… . ”
But Han Qilu ignores her . Instead, he tilts his head and drinks another mouthful . He is intentionally doing it! But if he insists she’s not his possession, then she can’t make up for the classes… no, her part-time job! She grabs the Fanta from Qilu’s hand . Then, she calmly looks at Xiao Mingluo .
Xiao Mingluo looks at him lazily . Despite feeling the tension during the game, he’s back to feeling relaxed . Playing with the black tail ring on his right hand, his mouth curves . “Han Qilu, you know why I used her as a gambling chip? I wanted to see you move on to another female student . ”
He’s implying he wants Qilu to move on from Xiang Mankuai . An Chuxia is very aware that Han Qilu’s expression changed suddenly . He went from being calm to stormy . She could see Qilu wanting to lash out . But for some reason, he’s suppressing it .
Finally, he faces Xiao Mingluo and looks him straight in the eye . “I concede to the gamble . However, I still have other matters to attend . ”
She gnaws on her lower lip . She looks at Han Qilu as he walks away . Unexpectedly, she feels a stabbing pain in her heart . She thought it was an her imagination, but she doesn’t pursue it . However, she turns and looks at Xiao Mingluo and Ling Hanyu . “Do you have any intention of telling me who Xiang Mankuai is?”
Picking up the comic book, Ling Hanyu looks at Xiao Mingluo . He’s unsure as to whether they should reveal the truth to An Chuxia . He puts the comic book back on the ground . He uses his hands to push himself off the ground .
“Tell her, Mingluo . Otherwise, she’ll badger us . If the time comes when she’ll ask Qilu, it’ll be an incredible moment . ” Sighing, Ling Hanyu walks toward the basketball stand to take a nap . It seems like he doesn’t want to hear much about Xiang Mankuai .
Sipping air through his lips, Xiao Mingluo involuntarily responds . “The reason she’s taboo is because some people want to deliberately forget or bury memories about certain people or matters . Xiang Mankuai is taboo . Han Qilu told us that anyone, no one, can mention her, anything about her, or her name . ”
An Chuxia takes a few steps . Facing Xiao Mingluo, she boldly confesses . “Uncle Han mentioned her name to me . At that time, his expression was quite strange . I got suspicious . That’s why I’m asking you . You say she shouldn’t be mentioned . Now, I must know . ”
