Best novel online free at LatestNovel.Net or SweetNovel.Net

After my deep thought, I remembered the blatant lie Chi An had told Nuan Mei. Well, he still kissed me after all.

"Even though we did kiss, it was not like it was a romantic kiss. You could have looked for a way to avoid that lie that you told Nuan Mei." I unveiled my fear.

"Are you afraid of implicating me?" Chi An asked with a curious gaze.

"It is just that it is already embarrassing that I have caused too many troubles. If possible, I do not want to involve you deeper." I said with a painful expression.

"It is fine. Since you have involved me to this extent, there is nothing I could do. Besides, it is not like you wanted that to happen anyway. Also, I have already provoked them, so I am already involved whether I like it or not." He comforted me. There was a brief period of silence.

I wanted to say something more. However, he cut in again.

"Are you afraid?" He asked an unexpected question. It was not as if the question was uncommon, but it was probably the last question that I expected him to ask. Perhaps, my mind never wanted to think about it.

"Well….Everyone is afraid of something. One way or the other," I trailed a bit.

"Hmm, it is good to be afraid sometimes, but it should not stop you from moving forward. You should at least know the law of survival. "retreating and advancing." In that case, fear should only heighten your mindset to survive. I mean doing anything to survive." He spoke longer and more calmly to make me understand the situation.

I nodded to him, musing over everything. For one thing, I know to survive, you need strength. However, decisiveness was expected even more.

"They probably won't attack you in the daytime. We have to start night activities. First, you will attend my matches. Most of them take place at night. Another thing, you have to avoid moving with your friend in the dark. I am sure she does not know. So, try your best to keep her safe. Also, refrain from telling her for now." With that, we came back. Nevertheless, because we wasted little time, Nuan Mei was smiling like a little devil.

"Mey! You couldn't just hear the instruction the coach said before he left. You are bad at obeying orders, you know? I can tell all his strength had faded into the night." Her words had no basis, and she was so shameless that she had no category.

That mid-day, we both left. In the room, Nuan Mei was smiling sheepishly. Which made me kind of wonder. Did she think we did anything? Just as the thought crossed my mind, she thawed the ice herself.

"So, was he good? Did you use your handcuff on him?" just speaking these shameless words out of her mouth, I had an unbelievable expression. I could almost cry. What's with her anyway?

"No! We did not even do anything. He told me something,"

"Hmm…why does it smell fishy?"

"I don't know what you mean?" I actively denied her words. However, these words made me panic slightly. I don't know what she wanted to achieve with this, though?

"Do you think I am that kind of girl?" I merely asked the question for just asking, but I was smashed head-on.

"Of course! You won't let go of a hot guy now, would you?" she believed she could not lose to this debate, but I wonder why. Perhaps, she did think I had punishment sex with that bastard, Bingwen Deli. It couldn't be more right to say that he could even deflower me. A hopeless dumbhead. To be more precise, he couldn't convince me enough to give it to him, anyway.

Trying to change the topic, I made a quick shift in the tone of our conversation.

"Mei, it seems as though you skipping tennis practice these days," I let out a sigh.

She looked at me, trying to understand the reason for a switch of the topic. However, she condescended to it.

"Yeah! A little. I will pick up my pace soon. You seem to be less active. No! Completely inactive from volleyball." Her words were filled with conviction. Well, of course, practicing these days does not give me a lot of comfort. Also, I would instead channel my energy to study because sports clubs are second on my list.

"I would like to visit my volleyball club today. It seems like their practice session will begin soon. Would you like to come with me?" I questioned without removing my eyes from her. Although, it was a blatant lie, however, I was convinced she would refuse to go.

"I am not going even if you have to carry me forcefully. I will still resist you. I don't want to see that fellow, Wang Chen. A short fool who doesn't consider her height. Her argument lacks direction. You can't even differentiate her sarcasm from a real curse. To crown it all, her sense of humor is annoying, including her pitiable expression." She ranted to her satisfaction, I was only a spectator.

I sighed exasperated, " Chen is actually a good person. I admit her sarcasm could be way out of line sometimes, but she is fun to be with. Well, not as fun as you are, though. It is just a pity that both of you don't agree at all."

"Well, that's natural. I don't like her type. I feel a bit bad not going with you, but I wish you luck, then." She said as she folded her arms to her chest. I only had a pathetic face. Nothing more. This was a victory, after all!

However, on a volleyball court. In the spectator area. A slightly short girl, her face round with a medicated eyeglass. Sneezed suddenly.

"An unknown person sitting there let out a sound. Wang Chen, can you keep it down a little?" the spokesperson said.

"Someone must have been blabbing about me.." Wang Chen mumbled weirdly.
