"Wow!" Xiao Mei exclaimed, "That's really fast!"
"..." I awkwardly smiled.
"But why didn't you tell us in advance?" Xiao Li asked.
"I..." I hesitated for a moment and said, "I was worried that Lu Hao was being nice to me out of friendship, so I didn't dare to tell you."
"..." The roommates fell silent for a moment. Xiao Li sighed and said, "Well, we understand your concerns. We won't be angry."
"Thank you for understanding," I replied gratefully.
"But now that you two are together, doesn't that mean you'll get to see Lu Hao often?" Xiao Mei said excitedly.
"..." I smiled but didn't say anything.
I took out four tickets and handed them to my roommates.
"What is this?" Xiao Mei asked curiously as she took the ticket, glanced at it, and suddenly widened her eyes in shock, "Academy of Fine Arts Spring Sports Tournament?!"
"..." The other two roommates immediately rushed over, snatching the tickets with excitement.
"Li Ting, you're amazing!" Xiao Li hugged me and gave me a kiss.
"..." My face instantly turned red.
"This is an insider ticket!" Xiao Mei exclaimed excitedly, "I asked my dad for a long time, and he couldn't get one!"
"..." I smiled slightly and said, "It was Lu Hao who helped me get them."
"..." The roommates exchanged glances and revealed ambiguous smiles.
"Li Ting, you're so lucky~" Xiao Mei hugged me and pouted playfully, "I'm so envious of you~"
"..." I awkwardly cleared my throat and said, "These are for you to see; you can go backstage and take photos with the players!"
"Really?" The roommates became excited again.
"Yeah," I nodded.
"That's awesome!" Xiao Mei exclaimed, "Let's hurry up and take pictures!"
"..." Seeing their excitement made me smile as well.
At that moment, Lu Hao sent me a WeChat message.
Lu Hao: [I didn't block them from seeing my previous Moments.]
Me: "..."
Lu Hao: [I want to make our relationship public.]
Me: "..."
Lu Hao: [Why aren't you saying anything?]
I: "......"
Lu Hao: "Hehe, are you shy?"
I: "......"
Lu Hao: "If they bully you, you can come stay with me for the night."
I: "......"
I couldn't be bothered to respond to him.
I put away my phone and continued chatting with my roommates.
On Friday afternoon, I carried my bag and went with Lu Hao to watch the Academy of Fine Arts Spring Sports Tournament.
Along the way, Lu Hao held my hand, walked proudly, and looked radiant, as if announcing to everyone—I've got a girlfriend!
"......" I couldn't help but find it amusing as I watched him.
"What are you laughing at?" Lu Hao asked.
"......" I shook my head and said, "Nothing."
We entered the gymnasium and took our seats according to the tickets.
This match was a friendly game between the Academy of Fine Arts and the neighboring school, and the stands were packed with people, buzzing with excitement.
"Are you nervous?" I asked.
"......" Lu Hao smiled and said, "I'm nervous, so you have to hold my hand the whole time."
"......" I blushed a little and replied, "Okay."
The game was about to start, and the players from both teams began to take the court one after another.
Lu Hao held my hand and started explaining the details of the game to me.
"......" Watching his serious expression warmed my heart.
Actually, I wasn't completely clueless about basketball; I just focused on studying before and rarely paid attention to it.
But now, I've decided to learn more about it since it's Lu Hao's favorite sport.
The game began, and Lu Hao patiently explained everything while watching.
As I listened to his explanations and watched the game, I gradually understood what was happening and became interested.
"Who do you think will win?" I asked.
"......" Lu Hao looked at me, smiled, and said, "Guess?"
"......" I glanced at him and replied, "I can't guess."
"......" Lu Hao chuckled and said, "I think we will win."
"Why?" I asked curiously.
"Because we are the home team," Lu Hao said with a smile.
"..." I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "You're being superstitious."
"..." Lu Hao chuckled but didn't say anything.
The match was intense, and the cheers from the audience were deafening.
During halftime, Lu Hao suddenly leaned closer to me and whispered, "Li Ting, I want to participate in the game."
"..." I was taken aback.
"I didn't tell you earlier because I wanted to surprise you," Lu Hao said.
"..." I looked at him, feeling a bit anxious.
I had never seen him play basketball and didn't know his skills.
However, since he dared to step onto the court, it should be fine, right?
"Okay," I nodded and said, "You have to give it your all."
"..." Lu Hao looked at me, smiled slightly, and said, "I will."
The second half of the game began, and Lu Hao changed into his jersey and stepped onto the court.
"..." I watched his figure from behind, silently praying that he would win the game.
The match continued, and Lu Hao's skills were indeed impressive; he moved swiftly and shot accurately, quickly scoring points.
"..." I watched him with excitement that was hard to put into words.
In the end, the Academy of Fine Arts won the match by a margin of 7 points.
After the game ended, Lu Hao returned to his seat, and I immediately took out a towel and handed it to him.
"Thank you, Li Ting," Lu Hao said as he took the towel and wiped off his sweat with a smile.
"..." I smiled back and said, "You played really well just now."
"..." Lu Hao looked at me and smiled again, saying, "Now you know."
"..." I pouted and remained silent.
"Let's go," Lu Hao said as he took my hand. "Come with me to the locker room."
"Oh," I replied and followed him.
In the locker room, the players were celebrating their victory.
Lu Hao held my hand and led me to a chair in the corner, urging me to sit down.
I looked at him in confusion and asked, "What for?"
"..." Lu Hao smiled and suddenly lifted his shirt, revealing his toned abs.
"..." I widened my eyes as I stared at him.
“……” He looked at me, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
“……” I swallowed hard and said, “Why are you showing me this?”
“……” He chuckled and replied, “Haven't you always wanted to touch it?”
“……” I felt my cheeks flush.
I really wanted to touch it, but I didn't dare to.
“W-why are you showing me this?” I stammered.
“……” He smiled again and said, “Don't you want to touch it?”
“……” I hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist reaching out to touch his abs.
They were firm and very elastic.
“……” Lu Hao's body trembled slightly.
I quickly withdrew my hand, feeling embarrassed, and said, “Um, I’ll just step outside for a bit.”
“……” Lu Hao grabbed my wrist.
“……” I stopped in my tracks and turned to look at him.
“……” He gazed at me with intense eyes.
“……” My heart raced under his gaze, leaving me flustered.
“……” Suddenly, he leaned down and kissed my lips.
“……” My mind went blank, and I was completely stunned.
He kissed me?!
He actually kissed me!
My heart raced wildly, and my whole body felt tingly.
After a long moment, he slowly released me and whispered, “Li Ting, I love you.”
“……” I looked into his eyes, feeling a surge of emotion in my heart.
“……” He smiled and said, “You can go out now.”
“……” I nodded dazedly, stood up, and walked out of the lounge.
(The End)
