Chapter 2: Are You His Girlfriend

Chapter 2

Lin Jianzhi was listening to their conversation outside and secretly thought it was lucky she didn't rush to get a front row seat. If the media was filming, what if she got too emotional and her tear ducts burst? That would be so embarrassing! No, she was already embarrassing enough, crying like an idiot in front of her idol.

Returning to the classroom alone, Lin Jianzhi clutched the pack of tissues in her hand, tidying up the exam papers in low spirits.

The gaokao was in 30 days. She had already studied everything she needed to, and reviewed enough. As long as she could perform normally with what she knew, and desperately cram anything she didn't in this last month. Just like the principal's philosophy, self-confidence was most important in the final month.

But at that moment, Lin Jianzhi didn't have any confidence at all. She felt inferior to the core. How could she possibly test into University A!

The speech ended an hour later. By the time her classmates trickled back into the classroom, Lin Jianzhi had already finished half a set of exam papers.

She looked up.

She realized the boys had come back to change their shoes, the girls were frantically searching for tissues, and some were planning to pool their class funds to buy a case of water.

Lin Jianzhi was confused. She grabbed a female classmate and asked, "What are you doing?"

Mu Yin said, "Oh, you didn't go listen to the speech. Zhu Liheng is staying to play basketball this afternoon!"

Lin Jianzhi said, "Huh?"

Mu Yin said, "What do you mean, huh? Hurry up and get ready to cheer him on! The boys have already started splitting into teams. Zhu Liheng is going to play basketball with our class!"

Before Lin Jianzhi could react, she was dragged to the basketball court.

The boys had already changed into athletic shoes and were standing under the hoops in two even groups.

Zhu Liheng had unbuttoned two buttons of his white shirt and rolled up the sleeves, swinging his arms to test his range of motion. The basketball game was decided on the spot, so he didn't have a change of athletic clothes.

Students from other classes looked on enviously, especially the boys, who also wished they could play basketball with Zhu Liheng!

The game soon started, both sides battling intensely.

Lin Jianzhi didn't understand basketball. She only knew Zhu Liheng kept dribbling the ball to the hoop and scoring every time.

Each basket drew screams from all the girls!

Even in his unsuitable white shirt, he moved freely on the court. His strong, fair forearms with protruding veins were exposed. The way his large hands dribbled the ball was mesmerizing.

Thump! Thump thump thump!

The ball bounced between his hands and the ground, firmly capturing everyone's attention.

Like a rhythm, pounding on their hearts.

The angled sunlight shone on him, illuminating his figure brightly, even his hair was glowing!

Lin Jianzhi stared blankly until the first half ended.

The girls around her swiftly crowded around, handing out bottled water to every boy on the court.

Some girls offered paper towels for them to wipe their sweat.

Even more girls surrounded Zhu Liheng, exaggerated like chasing a celebrity.

Lin Jianzhi clutched the pack of tissues tightly in her hand, not daring to step forward.

Just then, Zhu Liheng turned his head and glanced at her hands, pausing on the tissues.

He looked a little surprised. Those tissues—

The next second, he strode over. He was very tall with long strides.

'Mu Yin: Hand it over!'

'Jiang Jingyi: Hand it over!'

'Quan Kaiji: Hand it over!'

'......'

Her classmates' eager sentiments filled the screen with repeating messages.

Lin Jianzhi really wanted to cry. She trembled as she typed a line.

'Lin Jianzhi: I don't have his WeChat.'

'Lang Shu: You expect me to believe that now?'

'Mu Yin: If you don't want to give it, fine. At least show us screenshots of your idol boyfriend's Moments?'

'Jiang Jingyi: Screenshots! Moments! Hand them over!'

'Quan Kaiji: My classmate is an idol's girlfriend...'

Lin Jianzhi gave a startled yelp and quickly typed.

'Lin Jianzhi: I'm not his girlfriend! I really don't have his WeChat!'

Clearly no one believed her, they just kept spamming.

Lin Jianzhi felt her scalp tingle!

She also didn't understand why, why would there be such misleading actions?

Merely neighbors who had briefly met, it shouldn't make Zhu Liheng look at her differently.

Could it be because her crying was unique?

Just thinking about this afternoon made Lin Jianzhi's face burn hotter!

Did Zhu Liheng still remember her?

Recognize her?

What was there to remember about a silly crybaby?

Lin Jianzhi felt sad again.

Was it obvious she secretly liked Zhu Liheng? She hoped no one could tell!

She wanted to die!

Thinking this, Lin Jianzhi cried out in distress, "Ah—so embarrassing!"

Downstairs.

Zhu Liheng, freshly showered, looked up at the ceiling. Buzz, buzz buzz.

He walked out to the balcony puzzledly and craned his neck to look up.

The resonance happened again. The human voice caused the wall vibrations to match frequencies perfectly.

How did she do that?

So mystical.
