Now, Geng Lin Lin didn’t know how to face Cheng Yu Si. She wished to apologise to him, but she didn’t know what to say. Sorry, I didn’t mean to molest you? It would be better if she didn’t say anything….

For this situation, she didn’t have the nerve to tell others. Just let this kind of embarrassing situation be buried in the hearts of the parties involved forever. Therefore, when Fang Rui saw Geng Lin Lin keeping quiet and not mentioning Cheng Yu Si, he was quite surprised.

Geng Lin Lin replied spiritlesly, “ To keep my energy up and prepare for the next attack.”

Fang Rui provoked her, “After attacking for so long, have you touched the enemy’s brick?”

Geng Lin Lin thought, “Whether I touched something? If I tell you, you will be scared to death.”

In order to help Geng Lin Lin relax, Fang Rui brought her to the football field. He pointed to the goal and said, “Just stand here and don’t move. Don’t worry, the mathematics department’s skills are trash. Their ball wouldn’t even pass by here.”

Mathematics Department… A cold shiver went down Geng Lin Lin’s spine. “Erm that, Cheng Yu Si wouldn’t be here right?”

“No he wouldn’t. I haven’t seen him play football.” Fang Rui said as he ran to the football field. He didn’t think about how it is even considered a kind of relaxation method for her, for Geng Lin Lin to stand in front of the goal post without moving.

Geng Lin Lin leaned against the goalpost with boredom. She saw Fang Rui running around in front of her like a horse and not feeling tired. Geng Lin Lin yawned in boredom. As she yawned halfway, she suddenly felt nervous.

Cheng Yu Si! I thought he doesn’t play football…

Compared to football, Cheng Yu Si prefers basketball, but it doesn’t mean that he didn’t know how to play football. Today, he was going to take a stroll in the field and try to understand some problems he faced. Such as why Geng Lin Lin is avoiding him. When as a victim of molest he didn’t mention anything.; Also, for example, since Geng Lin Lin didn’t pester him, he should be happy but why isn’t he happy now? It seems that something has been taken away in his heart. It’s empty….

As Cheng Yu Si thought about these problems which were harder than mathematics questions, he saw Geng Lin Lin standing in front of the goal post. His vision didn’t move away from the figure in the field.

… Fang Rui. Cheng Yu Si squinted his eyes. He knew of this person, and he knew that he always seemed to be hostile towards him. Now, he seems to understand a little bit where this hostility came from.

For some reason, Cheng Yu Si felt angry. At this time, the people in the mathematics department noticed Cheng Yu Si. They happened to be short of players, so they called out to Cheng Yu Si and asked him whether he could join them.

Cheng Yu Si agreed immediately.

After Geng Lin Lin noticed Cheng Yu Si, she wanted to run away, but she felt that it would be too irresponsible. She then calmed herself down. Anyway, he couldn’t get through here. At most, Cheng Yu Si would look at her from afar and wouldn’t be able to rush up to her and beat her up. As long as she controls her expression and quickly runs away when the game is over, all of the problems wouldn’t be an issue.

But Geng Lin Lin underestimated Cheng Yu Si’s skills, or rather, everyone underestimated him. This kid seemed to have a feud with someone. Once he was in the game, he was unstoppable. He ran left and right with the ball. But Fang Rui’s defence is excellent, and it was hard for a man to break through it. He is currently irritable. Yet, he saw Geng Lin Lin leaning back on the goalpost relaxingly, with her head down and texting on her phone. She didn’t pay attention to him.

(╰_╯)# This is too much!

Cheng Yu Si made a long shot. The ball flew to the goalpost. The defenders came running quickly, but the ball suddenly deviated in the air and flew straight towards Geng Lin Lin.

Fang Rui yelled at Geng Lin Lin, “Geng Lin Lin, quickly dodge!”

Cheng Yu Si was also panicking. He didn’t expect the ball would fly towards Geng Lin Lin. Speaking of which, why doesn’t this fool know how to dodge?

Well, never use a guy’s thinking to judge a girl’s behaviour. Geng Lin Lin is foolishly sending text messages, how can you expect her to have the vigilance and skill of an athlete?

Thus, in the wide and peaceful field, a female ghost-like voice wailed across the vast sky…

7.

Geng Lin Lin laid on the hospital bed. At last, she is hurt. Bitter meat plans ah, bitter meat plans. You [1] are finally willing to show up.

Other than a little nosebleed, Geng Lin Lin had no injuries. Even the doctors praised her skin as so solid, and it wouldn’t be spoilt no matter how many times she fell. Geng Lin Lin is intrigued that such words can be used to praise others.

But for the sake of being safe, her situation would be observed throughout the entire night. Fang Rui gave face [2] and left, and left Geng Lin Lin and Cheng Yu Si in the ward.

Both of them felt a little awkward, and didn’t know what to talk about. Geng Lin Lin’s eyes were gleaming. With how she was staring at Cheng Yu Si, his heart beats more and more quickly.

Cheng Yu Si cleared his throat and broke the silence first, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to do it.”

Geng Lin Lin, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to do it.”

Cheng Yu Si turned his head away. A little redness crept onto his face.

Geng Lin Lin felt that she said something wrong again. She apologised sincerely, why does it sound like a hooligan again. Could it be that she is born with this potential?

Cheng Yu Si suddenly smiled and looked at Geng Lin Lin. “En, it doesn’t matter.” The corner of his eyes which was originally raised up, raised even more when he smiled. His eyebrows were full of amorous feelings. Geng Lin Lin’s little heart began to beat quickly. Handsome guy, don’t be so seductive!

Both of them were quiet again, and stared at each other. The atmosphere is a little subtle. Geng Lin Lin finally lost her head over lust and said, “Cheng Yu Si, can you kiss me?”

Cheng Yu Si was stunned for a moment and didn’t know how to respond. Logically speaking, he should refuse. Since they weren’t in a relationship, they shouldn’t do such unclear actions. But, emotionally, looking at Geng Lin Lin’s expectant eyes, Cheng Yu Si hesitated.

Geng Lin Lin closed her eyes. Her tone was soft like a coquettish little animal, “Just once. Just think of it as a compensation for what happened today, okay? It’s very painful to have a nosebleed.”

Cheng Yu Si looked unwavered on the surface. But in his head, his reasoning and emotions are arguing against each other. Argue ah Argue. Finally, the emotions prevailed over reasons. Cheng Yu Si bent down, with one hand on the hospital bed, he slowly lowered his head and approached her.

Geng Lin Lin laid quietly, and she breathed evenly.

Cheng Yu Si was a little surprised, “Geng Lin Lin? Geng Lin Lin?”

Geng Lin Lin didn’t respond….She fell asleep.

Cheng Yu Si straightened himself, and scolded “idiot” with a black face. He turned and left. After a while, he returned with a pile of food in his hand. Cheng Yu Si couldn’t figure out why he did it, when he originally wanted to hide from her. As he thought about it, he could only explain it as that he needed to take up responsibility since Geng Lin Lin was injured because of him.

[1] 您(nín)- You, in a respectful manner.

[2] 给面子 – to show or treat someone with respect, honour, and dignity. In this case, I think it meant for the sake of Geng Lin Lin, who is Fang Rui’s friend.
