Chapter 57

Zhou Mingyu teased from the side, laughing: "I wouldn't dare to want it! If I really took it, someone would have to kill me."

After running a lap, they did some stretching.

Then they started letting them play badminton freely.

Shen Li didn't choose the volleyball class, and in the second class, Xie Qin's group moved over.

The elective class quota was limited, and under normal circumstances, you couldn't change classes at will.

Probably, he was a bit different.

There weren't many people Shen Li could remember.

Except for a few cases, after the incident where he was beaten by Xie Qin, it was rumored later that it had something to do with her, saying that Xie Qin hadn't chased her, and Cheng Yanjun was walking very close to her, so Xie Qin picked on him and made a move.

Don't know if it was true or false.

During that time, Shen Li still felt quite bad for him.

Last time when the basketball hit her, he even blocked it for her.

After three sports elective classes, she hadn't seen him, he should have been changed.

As for the reason, Shen Li didn't know either, she just had this thought in her heart, and didn't think about it anymore.

Zhang Zixin was playing badminton with her, she didn't catch the ball, and Shen Li ran to pick it up.

Back and forth, Shen Li found that she was really not suitable for playing badminton; for the first time, she noticed her own shortcomings.

She sat on the side watching a few boys playing ball.

Zhang Zixin brought her a bottle of ice water, "Seeing you pick up the ball, you're tired, drink some water."

"Thank you." Shen Li reached out to take it.

Zhang Zixin sat beside her, "Aren't you going to watch Xie Qin play ball?"

Shen Li said: "No. I'm a bit tired, want to rest for a while."

Not far away, four boys were playing doubles, competing like last time, and this time they didn't know what they were betting on, but it was more exciting than the last time.

There were many girls watching nearby, and some were taking pictures.

Usually, she didn't exercise much, and the lap she just ran made her legs a bit sore.

Shen Li sat on the ground and hammered her calves.

Zhang Zixin lowered her head and played with messages, then suddenly asked this: "Actually, I'm quite curious, what exactly are your thoughts on Xie Qin."

"Do you really not like him at all?"

Shen Li was probably thinking about this question seriously, and after hesitating, she shook her head lightly, "Don't like him."

"Oh, that means, playing around is not possible either." Zhang Zixin said again: "When I first saw you, I thought you were quite aloof, not easy to get along with, and the sense of distance was too strong. Later I found out, it doesn't seem to be the case."

"You're not hard to get along with, it's the stereotypical impression given by your face."

"Actually, you're quite serious, not at all like the girls Xie Qin has dated before."

"A person like Xie Qin doesn't have much freshness for anyone; you're right not to like him. Of course… I'm only saying this as a roommate and friend in the same dorm."

"His mind for playing is too heavy, and for everyone he dates, the freshness is too short. It's actually very hard to walk out later, and it's easy to get hurt."

Saying this, Zhang Zixin touched her arm, "Don't tell Xie Qin that I said this to you."

"Otherwise… he might find trouble for me."

Shen Li nodded: "Mm."

Talking about Xie Qin, it felt like he was like the sun, arrogant and enthusiastic, this light seemed to never go out, and he was the existence of being surrounded by stars wherever he was.

Whether it was boys or girls, they all liked to get close to him, and there were always many people around him.

Even if they didn't know each other, he could get along with them.

There were so, so many people who liked him.

He seemed to be born to be liked by others.

Shen Li was too dead and silent, and few people took the initiative to approach her, even if there were…

After a long time, they wouldn't pay attention to her.

There was a boy who chased her for a while before, probably because he felt she was too boring, and also felt she was dull; no matter what he did, he only got her cold and indifferent response.

Later… most of the emotions were consumed.

He gave up.

Meeting at school, that boy just treated her like air.

Walking past her, pretending not to see her.

Shen Li also felt that a person with Xie Qin's personality didn't have much patience for anyone, and was also proud.

When he said he wanted to chase her at the beginning, she didn't take it to heart at all.

Just treating it as his temporary freshness for her, thinking it would be the same as before, and after Xie Qin found it boring, he would give up.

From time to time, enthusiastic and excited screams of girls came from the court.

After the class ended, today it was Shen Li's turn to be on duty; the rackets scattered on the ground had to be organized and put into the racket bag, the badminton balls had to be put into the ball tube, and the dirty ground had to be cleaned.

As soon as class ended, everyone left.

Zhou Mingyu and the others wanted to follow him.

Xie Qin raised his chin, letting them go first.

He bent down to pick up the badminton ball on the ground, walked to Shen Li's side, took the badminton tube from her hand, and put it in, "I played so handsomely just now, you don't have to be shy, always hiding in the back and watching secretly."

"If you want to watch, watch openly in the future, you know!"

Xie Qin looked at her with an unclear provocation in his eyes.

"Finish collecting and go back." Shen Li withdrew her gaze, turned around, bent down to pick up the rackets scattered on the ground; she hadn't gotten them yet when he took the first step and picked them up, "You take this."

Xie Qin gave her the ball tube.

"Where is the equipment room? Lead the way."

He was indeed quite strong, but it saved her from running twice.

Shen Li walked in front, put the things in their original positions, and just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard some strange sounds; that door wasn't closed tightly, and she heard some sounds, inside… someone was there.

She slowly stopped her steps.

Through the crack, looking at that moment.

Shen Li's face magnified with emotion, and she was stunned in place.

Xie Qin probably saw it too, his lips curled into a ruffian lazy smile, leaning down slightly, his warm breath brushing past Shen Li's reddened earlobe, speaking low: "…What are you blushing for?"

His laughter was light, wrapped in a bit of teasing, and he added: "Never seen it?"

In the tool room, Zhang Zixin and Xu Zhouyuan were kissing passionately.

Xu Zhouyuan's restless hand reached into Zhang Zixin's hem, and a few buttons on her chest were undone.

This scene made people blush and heart beat fast.

They weren't there just now, thinking they had left.

Shen Li turned around abruptly, her steps hurried with a bit of panic, and she walked out quickly without looking back.

Xie Qin looked at that fleeing back, his brows and eyes filled with smiles, following behind unhurriedly.

"Why are you running so fast, afraid I'll eat you?"

…

There were no classes on Friday afternoon; after the morning class ended, most people packed their things and went home.

Shen Li booked a high-speed rail ticket for the next day, planning to leave the next day.

At six in the morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten, the cool wind wrapped in morning mist, Shen Li carried her shoulder bag and walked out of the girls' dorm building; just as she reached downstairs, she unexpectedly caught sight of a familiar figure.
