Pale clouds were scattered in the clear blue sky and the winter sun shone warmly overhead .

A hubbub of voices filled the air at the basketball court as the students of several classes gathered around in enthusiastic discussion .
In the center of the crowd was a delicate and pretty girl, who was counting “one, two, three…” in a lovely voice as she bounced the basketball on the ground rhythmically .
An Xiaxia seemed to be bouncing the ball forever, but she simply couldn’t make up her mind to shoot it .
Had she known better, she wouldn’t have said three… Sob , once would have been enough…
“Stop stalling and shoot already!”
“You’re not afraid, are you? Oh my~”
“Tch, just admit it . You’re trying to get our idol’s attention, that’s all . ”
Everyone was talking at the same time, which only made An Xiaxia more nervous . Fine sweat covered her forehead despite the fact it was still winter .
Sheng Yize and Qi Yanxi stood on the side, bickering and trashing each other —
“How come you agreed to her ridiculous request? Are you nuts?”

“Heh, you said yes before I did, so what does that make you? Incurable?”
( B oxnovel . c om ) Hmph, you piece of shit . ”
“Scumbag . ”
“Idiot . ”
“You’re too dumb and I’m not talking to you . Low IQ is infectious . ”
An Xiaxia finally made up her mind, stood on her tiptoes, and threw the ball with all her strength .
With a whoosh, the ball dropped accurately into the basket!
“Aaah! I did it!” An Xiaxia jumped up and was overjoyed .
Jian Xin’er snickered and dampened her spirits . “One down and two more to go . Where did you get all that confidence? Laugh all you want now . You’ll be crying your eyes out in a moment~”

Her cynical tone was so obnoxious that An Xiaxia made a face and decided to ignore her .
She then bounced the ball again, aimed at the basket, jumped up, and threw the ball .
She did it again!
A round of “wows” rang out across the basketball court and even Sheng Yize watched her in disbelief .
He himself had taught An Xiaxia how to shoot before the sports meet and he was fully aware of how lousy she was…
She had outdone herself today .
He kept his gaze on An Xiaxia . The girl clenched her fists and her cheeks were flushed with excitement .
Was it that big a deal for her? It was just two shots .
Sheng Yize suddenly realized how easily contented a girl An Xiaxia was .
If he could make her happy with such a petty thing… The look in his eyes turned intense at that thought .

For the third shot, everyone had focused their gazes on An Xiaxia .
After taking a deep breath, An Xiaxia shot at the ring!
However, she had run out of luck this time . The ball rolled around the ring slowly and simply wouldn’t go in .
An Xiaxia watched anxiously with unblinking eyes .
Whichever god that was on duty up there, please help this little thing down here and get the ball into the basket!
“I don’t think she’ll get this one . ”
“Yup . It’s impossible from this angle,” commented a boy, who appeared to know a thing or two about basketball .
He then faintly caught a low snicker and someone said, “Is that so?”
The boy let out a “huh?” and before he could make out who the speaker was, Sheng Yize suddenly jumped high into the air and smashed his palm down on the ball!
Thump — ( B oxnovel . c om )
It was a score!
The crowd was shocked and so was An Xiaxia .
Was Sheng Yize… helping her?
She stared at Sheng Yize and didn’t dare blink her eyes even once .
Sensing her intense gaze, Sheng Yize turned around and looked into her eyes .
Their gazes met, one indifferent and one intense, but seemed to make the perfect match .
She looked at him while he looked back at her .
A moment later, Sheng Yize smiled, his dark eyes flickering like stars .
“An Xiaxia, you won . ”
