Become a star to protect you

Chapter 16 You Haven't Forgotten Me, And You Still Care About Me (1)
The "Beichuan" annual basketball game officially kicked off.

The basketball court has never been so lively. It is said that as long as the team that wins this game can represent the school to participate in the city's basketball competition.Everyone naturally focused on Gong Haoyu's team, so signs supporting Gong Haoyu were held everywhere in the audience seats of the basketball court.When the host introduced each team, bursts of cheers resounded over the basketball court.

"I didn't expect Gong Haoyu to be so popular." Xia Xiaoxi's eyes widened, a little shocked.

She pulled Yi Xue, and the two of them finally found a seat and sat down. Seeing Gong Haoyu's posters everywhere, his handsome face was everywhere in the arena, and every audience shouted his name.Such a huge scene was more shocking than the presence of a celebrity, which really surprised her.

"Of course, you are with him every day, can't you notice it? Don't you think Gong Haoyu is really handsome? Even celebrities don't have his noble temperament and demeanor..."

Yi Xue blushed with excitement, she looked around, as proud as if those people were calling her name.

Xia Xiaoxi frowned, turned around and looked at her seriously.

It was only then that Yi Xue realized that she was too excited just now, and was a little embarrassed by her. She blushed and said coquettishly, "Why are you looking at me like this? It's what it is. You can tell by the number of people who support him here. In our school He is the most popular!"

"I know he is popular." Xia Xiaoxi said calmly, but the smile on her face became more and more cunning, "It's just that I never knew that our Yi Xue liked Gong Haoyu so much! It seems that one day I should let you Talk to him..."

"Hey!" Yi Xue rushed over and covered her mouth, "Please, Xiaoxi, what are you talking about? You clearly know that he likes you, you... If you do this again, I will get angry! "

"Why are you so nervous? I'm just talking casually." Xia Xiaoxi pushed her hand away and smiled narrowly.

"You... I'm ignoring you!" When someone found out about her concern, Yi Xue blushed, stomped her feet, and turned to the side, ignoring Xia Xiaoxi.

"Okay, don't be angry. Yi Xue, my good Yi Xue..."

Xia Xiaoxi kept apologizing, looking at Yi Xue's appearance, especially her blushing little face.When she thought of the recent scenes, she couldn't help being a little suspicious, but when she thought of Gong Haoyu's words, her mood gradually became heavy.

As Yi Xue said, she knew Gong Haoyu's thoughts towards her, but Yi Xue should understand her heart!As early as that morning, didn't Yi Xue guess what she was thinking?
"Yixue." Xia Xiaoxi called out softly, and Yixue turned to look at her, "Actually, I've always wanted to find Yi, you know that. If I hadn't been with you as a good friend this past year, I'm afraid I really can't make it through. What's more, you know that I only have Yi in my heart."

She finally confessed her feelings, but she didn't tell An Yichen herself.

If she had told An Yichen a year ago that she liked him, not what her younger sister liked her brother, would An Yichen have stayed?

"I understand." Yi Xue held her hand, showing a faint smile.

"I have never given up looking for Yi. If I see him again, I will bravely tell him my heart. The same goes for you, Yi Xue, we must strive for our own happiness."

"I..." Before Yi Xue finished speaking, the basketball court suddenly became restless.Xia Xiaoxi trembled all over, and looked around reflexively, but after looking around for a long time, she didn't see the person she wanted to see.Following everyone's line of sight, only Gong Haoyu's team appeared.

In the past, such restlessness would only occur when An Yichen appeared.

She thought...

Throughout the whole scene, she worked hard to cheer Gong Haoyu, but her eyes kept searching around, but she never found An Yichen's figure.Although there were many people, as long as An Yichen was among them, she would definitely be able to see them.

Because he is so good, so different.

However, her eyes were sore from looking for it, but she never saw that figure.

Did he not come after all?
But Gong Haoyu clearly said that he had already called, and also said that An Yichen promised to come.Could it be because Gong Haoyu accidentally told An Yichen that she would come too, so he didn't come?
She looked back in disappointment. At this moment, there was a burst of applause on the court. It turned out that Gong Haoyu made another beautiful three-pointer.

If An Yichen also participates in this competition, he will definitely win the championship, she firmly believes!
She remembered that An Yichen also liked playing basketball before, but because he didn't like making friends, he always played alone for a while when there was no one on the basketball court, and she was his only audience.

Until now, she still remembers his graceful posture, smooth shooting movements, and the bright smile when he turned his head.

Every time she dreams, she will dream of his smile when he looks back, making her world brighter and brighter in an instant.

"Gong Haoyu! Gong Haoyu!"

"Gong Haoyu, I love you! Gong Haoyu, we love you!"

"Gong Haoyu, you must win! Gong Haoyu, you must win!"

Screams and noise filled every corner, but Xia Xiaoxi felt that her world was extremely quiet, so quiet that even the breath of life had become nothingness.

The competition was fierce, and the result was predictable——

Gong Haoyu's team won.

The entire auditorium was boiling, and everyone wanted to rush to the field immediately to give Gong Haoyu a warm hug.It's a pity that he left the stage early, and those girls who didn't find him had to leave in disappointment.

An Yichen still didn't show up until everyone had left.

"Yi...you really don't want to see me again?" Xia Xiaoxi lowered her head, her heart full of anticipation gradually sank, her eyes were covered with mist.

She tried to smile, but her voice was so sad.She couldn't help stretching out her hand, and gently touched the star ring on her neck.

The star ring made of straw was given to her by An Yichen, and it had already caught her heart firmly, but he disappeared...

In the end, even Yi Xue left quietly without waiting for her, and she was the only one on the basketball court standing blankly in the auditorium, looking around unwillingly.

Gong Haoyu said that he promised to come!

Did he just have to wait, just wait, and he would come?

Suddenly, music sounded on the empty basketball court, it was a nursery rhyme——

"Twinkle twinkle little stars, how I wonder where you are……"

Such simple music made her heart skip a beat, she raised her head suddenly, and her whole body became stiff.She still remembered that at that time, under the starry sky, An Yichen had hummed this simple song softly.

Whenever she couldn't sleep, he would hum this song to her.

Whenever she is unhappy, he will sing this song to her.

Because she told him that her favorite is the stars in the sky, and An Yichen silently remembered her words at that time.He once said that he would be her star, and miraculously, whenever she heard An Yichen's singing, no matter how sad she was at the time, her mood would instantly improve, just like a beautiful spell.

Footsteps sounded at the entrance, Xia Xiaoxi trembled like an electric shock, stood up immediately, and turned her head full of expectation and surprise.

"Yi..."

Before the word "Yi" came out completely, it stuck in his throat.

Beads of sweat glistened on the young man's forehead. He changed into a clean vest, his hair seemed to have just been washed, and his handsome face was full of blood and a healthy reddish color due to the strenuous exercise just now.Like a noble prince, he walked towards her step by step with a nervous mood.

It's Gong Haoyu.

She was a little disappointed, but she still squeezed out a smile, looked behind him for a while, and asked, "Why are you back? Aren't you going to celebrate? By the way, didn't you say Ann..."

"I have something to talk to you alone." Gong Haoyu interrupted her with a very serious expression.

Xia Xiaoxi had never seen him like this before, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous, her breathing quickened, and her whole body became awkward.

Somehow, she seemed to feel that he was going to say something to her.

In fact, she cherishes Gong Haoyu as a friend very much, so she is even more afraid of him talking to her so seriously, and she doesn't know how to face it.What's more, when some things are not revealed, they can still be friends. Once they are revealed, she is afraid that she will not even be a friend in the end.

"Gong... I, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I'm going first." After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran away, but was grabbed by Gong Haoyu.

"Don't go, Xiaoxi."

Xia Xiaoxi's body froze and she could only stop.

Gong Haoyu grabbed her and looked very nervous, he swallowed to stabilize his emotions.He looked into her eyes firmly, with a hint of hope and pleading: "Don't run away, Xiaoxi, listen to me, okay?"

"Gong..." She turned her head slowly and shook her head at him, hoping that he would stop talking.

But Gong Haoyu seemed to be thinking about something, finally, he took a deep breath, looked at her, and said firmly: "I'm sorry, Xiaoxi, I know you don't want me to say it, but there are some things I have to say. If you don't Say, I'm afraid I'll regret it."

He clenched his fists, stood still for a while, and finally made a move.

Xia Xiaoxi watched nervously as he took out a beautiful box from his pocket. Just by looking at the box, he knew that it was expensive.Gong Haoyu looked at the box, as if looking at his beloved.

After a while, he raised his head to look at her, and said, "I know, there is someone very important in your heart. But, Xiaoxi, I swear, you are the most important person in my heart, from the first time I saw you , I just...I just fell in love with you. You are so special, so, here today, I think...I want to officially ask you to be my girlfriend, okay?"

After speaking, he looked at Xia Xiaoxi nervously and expectantly.

The box bounced open in the sunlight, and a dazzling brilliance appeared in the eyes of the two.It was a sparkling crystal necklace, the pendant was a star-shaped crystal, and each crystal on it was in the shape of a small star, very beautiful and lovely.

Xia Xiaoxi was stunned, she raised her head and looked at Gong Haoyu in a daze.

Gong Haoyu was holding the necklace, so nervous that even his hands trembled a little.

"May I put it on for you?" He said, picking up the crystal necklace, and then put the box on the auditorium aside.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to put it on for Xia Xiaoxi, but she immediately took a step back.

His hands trembled, but he still took a step forward persistently, with a kind of reckless determination.

"Gong Haoyu!" Xia Xiaoxi looked at him in embarrassment, hesitated for a while, did not look at the hurt look in his eyes, and whispered, "I know, you..."

"Uh... what a beautiful necklace."

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from the entrance.

The two looked towards the entrance of the arena at the same time.

As soon as that figure appeared, even the necklace hanging on Gong Haoyu's fingertips lost its color.The young man stood against the light, countless rays of bright sunlight shot out from behind him, and he stood there quietly like an ice sculpture.

Xia Xiaoxi's body swayed, her eyes widened involuntarily, with smiles and tears streaming out of her eyes at the same time.

He's still here, he's here!
"Yi, you're very disappointing." Gong Haoyu's pupils constricted for a while, he glared at An Yichen sullenly, and raised the corner of his lips and said, "Did you do it on purpose? You came at the critical moment."

"Really? I remember you invited me."

An Yichen raised the corners of his lips, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked slowly towards them.Wearing a simple white shirt, a pair of washed white jeans, her elegant steps seem to have been rehearsed countless times, every step is so perfect, and her beautiful figure is even more irresistible than the models on the catwalk.

Xia Xiaoxi was dumbfounded for a long time.

Even though it was a year apart, she would still feel possessed when she saw him.

"Such a beautiful necklace, such a transparent crystal, is expensive at first glance." An Yichen glanced lightly at the necklace in Gong Haoyu's hand, then at Xia Xiaoxi's fair neck, and said sarcastically, "Compared to Below that, that thing around your neck is trash."

"An Yichen!"

Xia Xiaoxi roared angrily, she finally trembled uncontrollably, her stomach full of grievances and longing almost gushed out at this moment.

How can he say that her star ring is garbage?

He made it up for her by himself!

Gong Haoyu's eyes flickered, and he glanced at An Yichen indistinctly, with a little doubt in his eyes, but also a little worried.

Seeing Xia Xiaoxi's excited look, he sounded a bit reproachful, and said to An Yichen: "That's Xiaoxi's baby, don't talk nonsense. But thank you anyway. Xiaoxi, let me introduce you, this is my My best friend An Yichen, he taught me this song, he said you girls will like it."

"is it?"

Xia Xiaoxi laughed bitterly, it turned out that he asked Gong Haoyu to do this, so he naturally knew what Gong Haoyu's purpose was.

She looked at An Yichen, and she couldn't hide the sadness and pain in her eyes.

But An Yichen's face was indifferent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, his expression was still so cold, and he still refused to look directly at her.

She has thousands of questions to ask, but she doesn't know where to start.

In such a situation, in such an environment, should she say "Nice to meet you"?

"Even if it's a treasure, it's just made of worthless straw. It's everywhere on the roadside. This necklace that the palace gave you is much more valuable than those rubbish. All girls like valuable things, don't you want to pretend Tell me with a noble attitude, don't you?"

"Yi..."

Xia Xiaoxi was stunned, staring blankly at An Yichen's opening and closing lips, she couldn't believe that these words came from his mouth, how could Yi say that about her?

Could it be that just because Dad took his money, did he think she was the same as those girls who love money?

lofty attitude...

Has she become like this in his eyes?
She opened her eyes wide, thinking that she would cry, but unexpectedly she laughed.

An Yichen frowned, then raised her eyebrows, stretched out a finger to pick up the star ring around her neck contemptuously: "This, you should throw it away."

There was an eerie silence all around.

Xia Xiaoxi stared at him without blinking, and smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up. Her eyes were filled with mist, and gradually she couldn't see the figure in front of her clearly. Through the mist, she could only see bright and gorgeous lights.
