Chapter 97: Chapter 45 Notices and Memos at the Swimming Hall

Immediately after, her eyes gradually narrowed, leaving only a strand of golden brilliance behind her bangs.

She seemed to have sensed something out of the ordinary and slowly tightened her grip on the stick covered with plaster-like material.

"Creak creak..."

The cloth wrapped around it kept tightening due to the force, making a grinding noise.

She lifted the stick and stepped forward with her long, shapely legs, approaching Lin Yi step by step.

Her actions swiftly drew the attention of the surrounding sports students, and Xu Shunkang naturally noticed this as well.

Seeing the female athlete getting closer and closer to Lin Yi, Xu Shunkang was secretly stunned. He wanted to say something, but the sight of the stick tightly clutched in her hand made him quietly shut his mouth.

He scrutinized Lin Yi from head to toe, confusion and worry flickering in his eyes, completely clueless as to why he had suddenly caught her attention.

Lin Yi also felt an overwhelming sense of pressure, even though she was just a girl of his size, but he felt as if ten of him wouldn’t be enough to match her single hand...

As she drew nearer, he resigned himself to his fate... and then took a half step back.

"Stop right there."

Two cold and forceful words landed behind Lin Yi, blocking his retreat.

"Clang!"

The stick stood next to him, and the sports student faced him.

They locked eyes.

Lin Yi got a clear look at her face.

It was a face with distinct features, as fine as mutton-fat jade, but even the most skilled artisan in the world couldn’t carve such delicate features, such exquisite features.

Her appearance was strikingly different from the resolute and heroic aura she exuded, yet blended together seamlessly, commanding yet with a hint of delicate charm, like a War Goddess standing under the sun.

Just by standing in front of Lin Yi, her posture and demeanor radiated a sense of readiness to burst forth.

"Wait! Her eyes?!"

Her presence was so intense that only at this moment of eye contact did Lin Yi realize... her eyes were also golden!

He had seen the security guard’s Golden Eyes and the class teacher’s dark gold eyes, but the sports student’s golden eyes gave him a different feeling.

The gold in her eyes was like the first light of dawn, golden yet not blinding, reserved and modest, causing no resistance in the onlooker, only a profound sense of peace.

But Lin Yi suddenly noticed some dirt on her forehead beneath her bangs, a hint of grey dust on her face, and faint scrapes on her neck, as if she had just endured a demanding drill filled with harsh weather and dust.

Soon, she was less than a head’s distance away from Lin Yi.

Suddenly, she leaned slightly forward, under the watchful eyes of many astonished onlookers, and slowly moved closer to Lin Yi.

Her nostrils fluttered slightly as she carefully sniffed the scent on Lin Yi.

This ambiguous and charming scene made Lin Yi’s breathing subconsciously quicken, but it also prevented him from making any rash movements.

Eventually, as if she had confirmed something, the flames in her eyes slowly died down.

Her eyes returned to a clear, autumn-water-like appearance.

A thought unbiddenly emerged from the depths of Lin Yi’s heart, if it had been Wei Liang, who insisted on claiming that she was wearing colored contacts, he would have had to make a couple of flirtatious remarks upon witnessing this miraculous scene.

But he was not Wei Liang, and his words were nowhere near flirtatious enough.

Feeling both awkward and rude, he could only touch his nose and say, "Uh... Hello there."

The sports student stood up straight, looked at him calmly, and her thin lips parted slightly, "Come swim with me."

"Huh?" Lin Yi was startled, his mouth agape.

"Damn, that was so sudden..."

But the sports student only said this one sentence; afterwards, she turned and walked towards the Swimming Hall with her stick in hand.

Seeing Lin Yi still standing there stunned, Xu Shunkang quickly rushed over and gave him a hard pat on the shoulder, "Damn, Boss is inviting you to go swimming! Hurry up, what are you waiting for?"

"Ah?"

"Ah your sister! Hurry up!" He signaled with his eyes, glanced at the Gymnasium wall clock, "You’ve got just over half an hour left for this class, so get a move on, don’t keep the Boss waiting!"

He lifted his foot as if to kick Lin Yi in the butt.

"Ah? Oh, oh, oh..." Lin Yi nodded blankly, located the sports student’s position, and quickly followed her.

Watching the hurried figure of Lin Yi catching up, Xu Shunkang’s teasing expression slowly faded, and his eyes narrowed.

A glint of golden light flashed across his dark eyes but quickly died down again.

Xie Huayang walked up beside him, glanced at the sports student and Lin Yi, scoffed, and said, "That guy has finally shown some issues, just like Big Head."

Clenching his teeth and with muscles tensely flexed on his cheeks, Xu Shunkang considered seriously for a moment before asking, "Did you figure out what’s wrong with him?"

"No," Xie Huayang said, "If you didn’t figure it out, how could I? Among all of us, maybe only Boss noticed."

Xu Shunkang didn’t reply.

Xie Huayang continued, "I warned him not to overthink things, maybe something happened last night that you and I are unaware of."

"You seem to admire him, is it because you see Big Head’s shadow in him?"

He looked at Xu Shunkang.
