Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tang Ziyan’s impassioned words stirred the blood of everyone in the room, except for Chu Qing and Zhuo Buqun. Zhuo Buqun couldn’t help but feel that Tang Ziyan was clearly talcing Chu Qing’s side. It seemed like she was urging Chu Qing to join the basketball team, which naturally left Zhuo Buqun feeling resentful and indignant.

As if they could not win the basketball game without Chu Qing. Zhuo Buqun muttered in his heart and stole a glance at Chu Qing. At this moment, Chu Qing was eating a slice of lamb as if he did not listen to Tang Ziyan at all.

Without delay, Zhuo Buqun made preparations to confront Tang Ziyan. No one had ever dared to disregard Tang Ziyan’s words. Besides her influential family background, her academic achievements firmly secured her the top spot in the entire third year.

Not only her results, but she was also first in all other aspects. However, other than basketball, there was someone who had already surpassed her and was eating mutton.

In short, Zhuo Buqun believed that Chu Qing was in a hopeless situation. If he managed to provoke Tang Ziyan, it would undoubtedly lead to a disastrous outcome for him. Zhuo Buqun didn’t mind exacerbating the situation and intensifying the conflict even further.

Zhuo Buqun patted his chest and promised Tang Ziyan. “I’m fine with it, but he…”

Zhuo Buqun took the initiative to seize the moral high ground and redirected Tang Ziyan’s attention towards Chu Qing. He anticipated that Tang Ziyan would become angry as a result.

In fact, Tang Ziyan was not only angry. She was furious. She had seen Chu Qing’s indifferent expression from the beginning. As the number one person in Jinmcn First High School for a long time, this was the first time she had received such treatment.

She immediately frowned and asked Chu Qing angrily, “What do you think?”

“I think it’s just right.” Chu Qing’s answer was incongruous.

Tang Ziyan was stunned, and the others did not react for a while.

Until Chu Qing took out another slice of lamb from the pot and blew on it. “It’s for you.”

Buzz.

The air seemed to have frozen. Everyone turned to look at the furious Tang Ziyan. They saw the anger on Tang Ziyan’s face dissipate at a visible speed, followed by a smile.

She left Zhuo Buqun and walked to Chu Qing’s side. She pulled out a chair and sat down, allowing Chu Qing to feed her the cooked lamb.

Zhuo Buqun became perplexed. He recollected hearing a rumor that suggested Chu Qing, the school belle, was in a relationship with Tang Ziyan, the school hunk. He had always dismissed it as mere gossip. What basis did it have? After all, in Zhuo Buqun’s view, Chu Qing’s attractiveness was the only factor that mattered, rendering everything else irrelevant.

He did not even dare to have extravagant hopes for a woman like Tang Ziyan. He could only settle for the next best thing and secretly like Lin Wan’er. Upon seeing this, Zhuo Buqun felt even more jealous.

Chu Qing gazed at the woman standing before him, feeling indifferent to everything else. Despite the strong aroma of hotpot filling the private room, it couldn’t mask Tang Ziyan’s natural scent. Tang Ziyan’s allure and femininity were apparent, even at the young age of 17. Her physical development seemed to be progressing rapidly.

Chu Qing lowered his head and could see Tang Ziyan’s chest. Tang Ziyan was a little flustered by Chu Qing’s gaze. Her ears were red as she reached out to touch Chu Qing’s head.

Chu Qing sensed Tang Ziyan’s actions and hurriedly dodged her. This should be a man’s way of treating women, okay? Tang Ziyan missed and looked at Chu Qing reproachfully.

Only then did Chu Qing’s mood slightly improve. This was his perception of how a woman should be. Not making any physical contact with Chu Qing, Tang Ziyan assumed his shyness and didn’t mind it. She proceeded to ask, “Don’t you want to join the basketball team?” Tang Ziyan was perceptive enough to notice Chu Qing’s demeanor.

Chu Qing was not in a hurry. He looked at the nervous Zhuo Buqun meaningfully and said, “Do you want me to join?”

Isn’t the answer obvious?

Tang Ziyan pretended to nod deeply.

“But I have a condition.” Chu Qing’s lips curled up into a playful smile.

“Shoot.”

“Let me kiss you,” Chu Qing said as he stared at Tang Ziyan’s pink lips.

Tsk.

Tang Ziyan thought it was something else and kissed Chu Qing without a word.

Chu Qing hurriedly stopped her. “No, it’s not like that. It’s not you kissing me, but me kissing you.”

In a world where women’s rights were valued, Chu Qing became overwhelmed with the thought that Tang Ziyan might engage in romantic relationships with other men in the future. He felt a surge of frustration, believing that women in this world lacked reservation, while men had to adhere strictly to moral standards.

Tang Ziyan recalled that Chu Qing had said a few days ago that he wanted to woo her. She immediately understood and sat up straight. “Come on!”

“Close your eyes.” Chu Qing wanted Tang Ziyan to look a little feminine.

Tang Ziyan hesitated for a moment before closing her eyes in the end. Looking at Tang Ziyan, who finally looked a little shy, Chu Qing reached out and touched Tang Ziyan’s pink lips with his fingertips.

This was considered a kiss. Chu Qing was not pretending to be noble. Instead, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself. There was still a long way to go, so he decided to stop here today. Otherwise, Zhuo Buqun would really kill someone.

After inadvertently touching her lips, Tang Ziyan mistook it as Chu Qing kissing her. She opened her eyes and smiled, saying, “I take it as your agreement. You must win when the time comes.. I have a special reward in store for you!”
