"?"
Hearing what Shen Yubai said, Xu Chuning thought for a mont that there was a problem with her hearing, "What date?"
Shen Yubai tightened his jaw, his icy gaze falling on Gu Jiayi who was playing at the basketball arcade ga.
"..."
Xu Chuning, realizing belatedly, looked confused, "You an and Gu Jiayi?"
Shen Yubai: "You rember the na quite clearly. Is he your classmate?"
Xu Chuning detected the sarcasm in his words and retorted speechlessly, "I rember your na too."
Shen Yubai was taken aback, wanting to say sothing more, but Xu Chuning had already stepped forward to talk to Gu Jiayi.
After Gu Jiayi finished a round, he turned his head towards her, his tone gentle, "Want to give it a try?"
Xu Chuning showed so interest, "Sure."
Gu Jiayi stepped aside.
Xu Chuning took the basketball he handed over, about to shoot. Gu Jiayi spoke again, "Wrong posture, like this..."
He stepped in to teach Xu Chuning.
Playing the basketball arcade ga also requires a bit of skill.
Shen Yubai watched the two interacting and couldn’t help laughing angrily. Did these two really act as if he didn’t exist?
He tugged his lip, ant to leave, but then thought... why should he?
With that thought, he loudly called Xu Chuning’s na, "Xu Chuning."
Xu Chuning and Gu Jiayi both turned their heads toward him, and it was then Gu Jiayi noticed his presence, "Shen Yubai?"
He was a bit surprised, "You’re here too, playing alone?"
Shen Yubai glanced at him, his tone indifferent, "Who are you?"
"..."
A flicker of embarrassnt crossed Gu Jiayi’s face, but he soon returned to normal, "I’m Gu Jiayi from the science class."
Shen Yubai: "Oh."
His response was casual, his expression really annoying, "Sorry, I’m not very good at rembering people."
Gu Jiayi: "No worries."
His gaze shifted between the two, puzzled, "You... know each other?"
Xu Chuning lifted her eyes, a slight frown between her brows, "Did you want to say sothing?"
Shen Yubai: "Where’s Shen Sinian?"
Xu Chuning: "He’s with Deng Xitong and the others, probably over by the arcade gas."
Shen Yubai: "You’re that sure about him?"
Xu Chuning found his words funny again, she looked at him, slightly at a loss for words, and said frustratedly, "If you’re not worried, why should I be?"
Shen Yubai had nothing to say.
Gu Jiayi, listening to their conversation, vaguely felt sothing was off. What were they talking about? Their relationship seed more complicated than re acquaintance.
Engrossed in their bickering, neither paid any attention to Gu Jiayi. Shen Yubai, choked by Xu Chuning’s words, fell into contemplation, and after a while, he spoke again, "Then, enjoy your ga."
Watching Shen Yubai’s retreating figure, Xu Chuning muttered inwardly, ’Crazy.’
Bizarre.
Xu Chuning continued playing the basketball arcade ga, Gu Jiayi stood quietly to the side for a mont before offering further guidance.
The two played at the basketball arcade for a while, Xu Chuning learned quickly, even in sports, she had so talent.
After she scored well once, she lost interest.
Understanding this, Gu Jiayi suggested trying sothing else.
Xu Chuning hesitated for a few seconds but declined, "I’m going to see how Shen Sinian and the others are doing."
Gu Jiayi was slightly surprised, then smiled, "Then I’ll go with you."
The two went in search of Shen Sinian, but found that he and the others were no longer by the arcade gas.
At the dance machine area, a scream was heard.
Xu Chuning couldn’t help but turn her head, and suddenly caught sight of Shen Yubai, who stood out amongst the crowd, watching the center of the dance machine.
Sensing sothing, he turned his head to look in Xu Chuning’s direction.
Their eyes t across the distance.
Xu Chuning’s brows twitched, and she started walking toward him.
Gu Jiayi didn’t notice their interaction; he was looking around for soone, "Should we give them a call?"
"No need," Xu Chuning declined, "They might be at the dance machine area."
Gu Jiayi let out an "Ah" sound, surprised, "Does Shen Sinian even dance?"
Xu Chuning: "...I’m not sure."
Shen Sinian had never ntioned to her that he knew how to dance.
Of course, she never asked what skills he actually possessed.
The two walked over to the dance machine area, which was tightly packed. Xu Chuning heard clearer screams, and also heard soone beside her analyzing what dance the boy was performing, remarking how impressive it seed.
Xu Chuning was thinking of a way to squeeze in when suddenly soone grabbed her wrist. She got startled and was about to shake the person off when Shen Yubai’s clear and cold voice brushed past her ears, "This way."
"..."
Xu Chuning was stunned, montarily forgetting how to react.
By the ti she recovered, Shen Yubai had already led her to a spot in the front row, "Can Shen Sinian dance?"
He asked the sa question as Gu Jiayi.
Xu Chuning looked up and imdiately saw the familiar silhouette dancing on the machine—Shen Sinian was wearing a white T-shirt and loose jeans today. Tall and slim with broad shoulders yet without seeming ostentatious.
There was a strong youthful aura about Shen Sinian.
This was Xu Chuning’s first ti seeing Shen Sinian dance. His movents were very coordinated, limbs agile, making his dance exceptionally aesthetic and eye-catching.
As Shen Sinian executed a flawless handstand before standing up again, exclamations erupted around them.
"Gosh, so handso."
"My God!! His dancing looks so good."
"Amazing, amazing, looks like the dance machine’s record is going to be broken today."
"... Ah, he looks so young, I wonder if he’s an adult yet, or if he has a girlfriend."
Hearing this, Xu Chuning turned her head and looked at the two girls discussing.
Sensing her gaze, the two girls looked up and t her eyes.
Silently for a few seconds, Xu Chuning withdrew her gaze, muttering with so worry, "I hope Shen Sinian isn’t engaging in puppy love here."
Hearing her murmur, Shen Yubai: "..."
He sincerely thought, Xu Chuning was worrying too much.
Shen Sinian didn’t seem like the kind who would engage in puppy love.
"Why aren’t you saying anything?" Xu Chuning suddenly asked.
Shen Yubai narrowed his eyes, "You’re worried about him falling in love too early?"
"Of course," Xu Chuning wasn’t exactly an unprogressive parent, but Shen Sinian was a visitor from the future, having him fall in love early here... didn’t seem quite right.
If he had engaged in puppy love back in his original ti and space, Xu Chuning wouldn’t have objected, but here, she didn’t quite approve.
After answering Shen Yubai’s question, Xu Chuning slightly narrowed her eyes, "Aren’t you worried?"
Shen Yubai: "Not really."
Xu Chuning frowned, "Why aren’t you worried?"
Was this man even Shen Sinian’s father? He wasn’t worried about Shen Sinian engaging in puppy love here, what if Shen Sinian had a chance to return and chose not to?
Shen Yubai: "He won’t."
"Why are you so sure?"
Shen Yubai lowered his gaze, his eyes eting her clear almond ones, and after a mont of stunned silence, he slightly pursed his lips and told Xu Chuning, "Perhaps because n understand n."
Xu Chuning: "..."
