Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Xiao looked confused.

Why did Chu An seem like he was on steroids?

Originally, everyone was here to watch the basketball match between Class 1 and Class 10, and Chu An. There were much more spectators than before.

Initially, Gu Xiao did not want to go, but she and Zhou Luo came to the field together. Zhou Luo liked to watch excitement, so she pulled Gu Xiao forward to the front of the crowd.

Then, Gu Xiao saw Chu An’s eyes light up when he saw her.

Chu An alone beat everyone on the field.

In the first half, he scored eight three-pointers and sixteen two-pointers. Not a single person in Class io could stop him. Later on, they even sent four people to keep an eye on him, but in the end, he dribbled the ball past all four of them…

…..

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Most importantly, Chu An acted very relaxed, as if he was a big shot entering a novice village.

Soon, it was halftime. Everyone looked at Chu An as if they were looking at a monster.

During their break, girls brought water to Chu An one after another.

Chu An ignored all of them.

Li Xiang handed his bottle to Chu An, who turned his head away in disdain.

“No, you’ve drunk from it.”

Li Xiang really wanted to hit Chu An. “We’re both guys. What do you despise about my bottle?”

“I don’t want it.”

After saying that, Chu An looked fixedly at Gu Xiao and swallowed.

Gu Xiao was helpless.

He had already written the words “I want her to send water” on his face. Most importantly, their gazes met. She could not pretend not to see it.

But there were so many people here…

Gu Xiao took another look, and there was actually a hint of pleading in Chu An’s eyes for some reason!

Gu Xiao only brought her own bottle. Unable to resist Chu An’s urging gaze, she walked forward and handed him her bottle.

Seeing this scene, the students erupted in uproar.

Gu Xiao’s face quickly burned. After passing the bottle to Chu An, she lowered her head.

Chu An, on the other hand, was very relaxed. Satisfied, he took the bottle and raised his head to take a small sip.

She had drunk from it before… His ears heated up at the thought.

Zhou Luo was originally standing with Gu Xiao. When she saw this scene, her mouth formed an 0 shape.

Didn’t Gu Xiao say that she and Chu An weren’t together?

Who was she kidding!

Gu Xiao was very close, so close that she could hear the sound of Chu An swallowing water. She could even imagine his Adam’s apple moving up and down…

Please, what strange thing was she thinking about again!

Chu An wiped the corners of his mouth and returned the bottle to Gu Xiao. He whispered a thank you in her ear and watched as she returned to her original position in a daze.

Undoubtedly, in the second half, it was a certain someone’s home ground again.

Chu An’s three teammates watched the show the entire time. Occasionally, Li Xiang would be free, and Chu An would pass the ball to him and then snatch it back himself later.

Zhou Luo and Gu Xiao watched together. Suddenly, Zhou Luo said,

“Are you and Chu An together or not? This is very important to a fan of your on-screen couple like me!”

“Err… Would you believe me if 1 said that we weren’t together?” Gu Xiao replied awkwardly.

She had also been watching Chu An’s performance. To be honest, she was indeed a little touched. His unique hormones and youthful aura enveloped Gu Xiao along with the wind on the court.

Because he had always had her in his eyes.

Without any narcissism, Gu Xiao knew that he had specially played this match for her eyes.

At the thought of this, Gu Xiao laughed.

“What are you laughing at?” Zhou Luo pouted and looked at her.

“Nothing. Just, probably.”

Zhou Luo quickly realized what this meant, and her heart could not help but pound!

She was right!

She secretly made up her mind to protect Gu Xiao and Chu An, who were the best people in the world!

On the forum, the scene of Gu Xiao delivering water to Chu An was also captured by the students. The comments below were visibly shocked:

[Are they really together?]

[I am so envious of Gu Xiao!]

[1 could tell that their relationship was not ordinary.]

However, on the other side of the field.

Ji Yao watched all of this silently.

She looked at Gu Xiao in disdain and clicked on the video her parents had sent her.

In the video, Gu Xiao’s parents were causing trouble at the entrance of the Chu family’s company.

‘Gu Xiao, if you let others question me, 1 will also ruin your reputation.’

Clicking on the send button, the video was sent anonymously to the school forum.

Not long after, the video went viral..
