Later, her roommate suddenly asked, "So, what were your thoughts or feelings about him at that time?" Li Xiao was taken aback for a moment. She seemed to have never thought about this question before. She knew what her roommate meant. She was asking herself when Jiang Yan became different to her.
As for this question, Li Xiao didn't know how to answer, or rather, it was imperceptible to her. She only knew that at that time, she would subconsciously search for Jiang Yan's figure when passing the basketball court, secretly glance around to see if he was there when going to the cafeteria, and look at the figures passing by on the stairs to guess which one might be him.
She may not even know that when she caught sight of him, a nameless little flutter arose in her heart.
Just as she didn't know what to say in response to him, the call of Lin Ling rescued her.
"Here, my classmate is calling me." It means we should go, this conversation should end.
Jiang Yan didn't expose her ulterior motives. Her eyes were very certain, as if saying this was the reasonable explanation. Looking at her eyes, he found it even more amusing. He chuckled lightly, then tugged at his jersey with his hand.
"Next time, pay closer attention. I'm number 9."
His smile became brighter, the corners of his mouth deepened, and in the sunlight, it became even more dazzling.
"Bye." Before she could react, he had already turned and run towards the playground, waving his right hand high and shouting, "See you next time."
She could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, hey, what are you staring at?"
"Ah," it wasn't until Lin Ling stood in front of her that she came to her senses.
"How did you end up here? I've been looking for you for ages." Looking at Lin Ling's flushed face, tiny beads of sweat on her forehead, and slightly disheveled hair falling on her face, she felt too embarrassed to say that she had just come up with the excuse of hiding from the heat.
"Xiao Xiao, was that Jiang Yan just now? Hmm? Do you two know each other?" She didn't need to prepare her own words at all. She had seen everything and was staring at her with a look that demanded the truth.
"It's nothing, it's just... it's from when I got injured last time, you still remember, right?"
"Yeah, I know, you're still not completely healed, right? Is it his doing?" Lin Ling looked like she was going to hold him accountable, making Li Xiao have to quickly grab her arm.
She has always been so impulsive.
"It's my fault for not looking at the road while memorizing words. We are both responsible, can't blame him."
"Then why are you limping while he's still happily playing basketball?" She moved her leg, looking unfair.
"My own physical condition is not good, how can I compare with someone who plays basketball, and, it's not his fault to begin with. He even apologized to me afterwards and offered to take me to the hospital for a check-up, but I refused. I didn't even mention compensation for him." She patiently explained, looking at Lin Ling with a 'is that so' expression. She nodded solemnly. "That's about it, he has a good character."
Just as I was about to agree with her approval, I saw her face light up with a gossipy expression and asked her with a smile, "So, what do you think of him?"
"What do you mean by 'what do you think'?"
"How does he look? Is he handsome?" She was really curious, blinking her big eyes and eagerly awaiting her response.
Seeing her lack of reaction, she couldn't wait and shook her arm.
Li Xiao helplessly replied, "He's, he's okay."
"It's okay, the reviews are pretty good. I rarely hear you say 'it's okay,' usually it's just 'so-so' or 'just okay,' hmm~." She looked amused, with a hint of something else in her expression as she looked at Li Xiao, wondering what was going on in her mind.
