Look, Liu Jiang's feelings for me have risen. I immediately used my little trick, hoping to prolong this moment as much as possible.
Ling Xue stood in front of Liu Jiang, her eyes shining with determination and a smile on her face. In just a second, Liu Jiang took the initiative to befriend me, leaving Xing Ming stunned. I secretly rejoiced, knowing my little trick had worked. Yet, I still felt a bit nervous because this increase in feelings was only temporary; once the moment passed, Liu Jiang's feelings for Ling Xue would begin to decline slowly.
Ling Xue felt a surge of anxiety bubbling inside her; she needed to find a breakthrough in this short time. I quickly spoke up, using the most sincere tone: "Liu Jiang, I heard you play basketball really well. Could you teach me?" A glimmer of surprise flashed in Liu Jiang's eyes. Seizing the opportunity, Ling Xue continued, "I've always wanted to learn basketball. If you're willing, I'd love to ask you for guidance in the time we have left." Liu Jiang's feelings began to rise again as he looked at me, seemingly contemplating something.
In that moment, Ling Xue knew her efforts were not in vain; Liu Jiang's feelings for her finally reached a point where it was possible. When Liu Jiang agreed, my heart leaped with joy; Ling Xue understood this was just the beginning. She planned to use her little trick again tomorrow to further boost those feelings.
After saying goodbye to Liu Jiang, Ling Xue went out for dinner with Xing Ming. During the meal, Ling Xue returned the money Xing Ming had given her for a phone.
"I'm really happy you bought me a phone," she said. "I don't want you to think I'm just a girl who cares about money. I wasn't with you for that reason before; now I think we should start from sincerity." Xing Ming looked at Ling Xue, initially surprised but quickly understanding her intentions.
He waved his hand dismissively and smiled, indicating that the money didn't matter; what mattered most was Ling Xue's feelings. Ling Xue smiled back, knowing that Xing Ming was a good person while her mind was filled with plans and dreams about Liu Jiang. After dinner, she called a real estate agent and found a small apartment to temporarily stay in.
The next morning, Ling Xue arrived at the basketball court early. She intended to seize the moment and deepen Liu Jiang's impression of her. When Liu Jiang saw her arrive while warming up on the court, a flicker of anticipation crossed his eyes.
Ling Xue approached him with a smile and greeted him: "Liu Jiang, can I join your basketball training today?" Liu Jiang nodded in agreement and handed her a basketball. At that moment, it felt like a bridge was slowly being built between them.
Liu Jiang's voice was filled with encouragement: "Sure, let's practice together." Ling Xue gripped the basketball tightly, feeling its weight and secretly resolving not only to improve her skills but also to show Liu Jiang her sincerity.
On the basketball court, their figures moved energetically; each pass and shot deepened their unspoken understanding. Ling Xue's slender figure and charming appearance allowed her to cleverly use her physical advantages to make contact with Liu Jiang.
She thought to herself that she was beautiful and couldn’t believe this wouldn’t impress Liu Jiang. Indeed, as she moved gracefully and playfully joked around him, Liu Jiang seemed more relaxed than ever. The sunset cast its warm glow over the court, illuminating their increasingly close figures.
At that moment, Liu Jiang's feelings for Ling Xue had reached new heights. Ling Xue intentionally fell down, waiting for Liu Jiang to help her up while subtly using her skill Charm on him again; his feelings hit maximum value once more. Their eyes met, and Liu Jiang could no longer suppress his excitement as he stepped forward to kiss Ling Xue. She gently closed her eyes, feeling his impulse and excitement in that moment.
Breathless, Liu Jiang spoke softly: "Do you truly like me?"
His answer warmed her heart: "I'm serious; every time I see you, my heart races. Every one of your movements captivates me." Ling Xue knew that her plan had succeeded significantly.
"I like you too; I've liked sporty boys since I was young," she confessed. "Xing Ming also likes me; since you two are friends, how should I tell him? After all, he liked me first too; I don’t want to hurt him again."
Liu Jiang held Ling Xue's hand tightly and took a deep breath before saying firmly: "We'll find the best way to tell him—a way that won't hurt anyone."
Hearing this made Ling Xue feel relieved as if she could see a hopeful future ahead despite its twists and turns. She quickly checked if her mission was complete but found that it was only sixty percent done.
Xing Ming’s feelings were rapidly declining—it had reached a critical point. Ling Xue was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Xing Ming’s feelings to drop so quickly. It turned out he had been watching their passionate interactions on the basketball court from afar all along.
