Chapter 255
“What? You don’t like it?”
“Boring.”
Ji Qingqing rolled her eyes at him. She stood outside in the school’s corridor and looked inside the classroom. Rows of tables were neatly arranged inside and the front and back blackboard had been wiped clean.
“Mr. Lu, how was it like at the overseas high school and university?”
Lu Lixing looked at the classroom in a daze.
“Hm?” Ji Qingqing didn’t get a reply and raised her head to look at him.
“I don’t remember.”
“Totally no impression of it?”
“None.”
… There’s nothing to chat about.
“Then during your school days did you have someone whom you crushed on?”
“No.”
“Who wouldn’t have someone they like when they’re young? You don’t?”
“I don’t.”
Ji Qingqing racked her brains to think of topics but each time Lu Lixing mercilessly chat-killed the conversation.
Lu Lixing raised his eyebrows. “You do?”
Ji Qingqing paused for a bit and thought of her student days. At that time how was she able to discern clearly between like and love? It was her first awakening to love. When she saw a fresh and handsome male classroom, she couldn’t avert her eyes and secretly crushed on him. She just wished she could happen upon him every day yet she was also scared someone would find out about it. Each time she saw the person she crushed on, she would have that sort of nervousness and excitement but she would cover it up with a nonchalant expression, as she was afraid that others would find out about her feelings. As Ji Qingqing thought of it now, it seemed like it just happened yesterday.
Seeing Ji Qingqing smile get wider and wider, Lu Lixing’s brow tightened. “You really had one?”
“Who wouldn’t have a couple of people whom they liked when they’re young?”
Lu Lixing's expression sank. Just as he was about to reply something, he heard Ji Qingqing laugh and continue again, “At that time, I liked those who were handsome, good in their studies, those that were poor in their studies but were awesome in fighting, and those that were rebellious and defiant. However, crushes, this sort of thing, most of the time nothing would come out of it and you just end up thinking about them briefly when you're old.”
“Thinking about them briefly?” Lu Lixing’s eyes slightly darkened and he intensely gazed at her. “You’re still thinking about the person you previously crushed on?”
Ji Qingqing glanced at him. “What are you thinking? I’m already destined not to see them again in my life. I think of them for what? There are times when I think of them, but it’s only when I’m reminiscing about my student days; they make up my memories during that period of time that’s all.”
She sighed. “Actually I don’t even remember clearly what they’re called and how they look.”
Only then did Lu Lixing's expression become better.
Vaguely the sound of voices was heard. Ji Qingqing turned behind and looked towards the direction of the field. “It seems like there are people playing basketball at the basketball court. Mr. Lu, do you know how to play basketball?”
“No.”
Ji Qingqing thought that that was the case too. Lu Lixing was busy studying when he was young and when he grew up, he was busy with work. Even his sleeping time was squeezed out. How would he have the leisure time to play basketball?
“Then let’s go somewhere else to walk around.”
Right after her voice fell, a couple more people arrived at the basketball court. And from looking over from afar, there were also cameras.
“That seems to be… Lu Yao and Zhang Lala pair? They’re here too?”
Ji Qingqing was really correct. It was indeed Lu Yao and Zhang Lala, the two of them.
The staff of the program crew had a few words with the boys who were playing basketball. Afterwards, Lu Yao joined them and they played basketball together.
Ji Qingqing became interested. “Shall we go and have a look?”
“No.”
“Aiya, let’s go have a look. There's nothing to do anyways.” Saying that, she dragged an extremely reluctant Lu Lixing towards the basketball court.
The school wasn’t too big. Beyond the huge field was a basketball court next door. Four or five boys had their arms sleeveless and were playing basketball there. Lu Yao was also amongst them.
When the two of them had just arrived at the basketball court, Lu Yao did a beautiful dunk and Zhang Lala stood at the side of the basketball court clapping as she shouted out that it was good.
“Awesome!” Ji Qingqing couldn’t help but shout out too.
