Chapter 742: Chapter 740: Discovering His True Face 1_1

"Do you think I don’t know to smooth down my skirt? You’re treating me like I’m a clueless three-year-old!" Although Muxia knew he was concerned about her, she couldn’t help but want to tease him.

This guy, he’s even more nagging than her dad.

Jiang Qingchen hummed and pedaled the bicycle.

While cycling, he couldn’t help but look back frequently to check if she had her skirt properly smoothed down.

Muxia: "..."

"Whoever becomes your girlfriend is really going to suffer, always fussing over this and that, so annoying!" She couldn’t resist muttering under her breath.

"What did you say?" Her voice was too low, so Jiang Qingchen didn’t catch it.

Muxia hurriedly chuckled, "I didn’t say anything."

She wasn’t foolish, of course, she wouldn’t say such things to his face.

Even though she didn’t say it, Jiang Qingchen could guess eight or nine parts out of ten that she was definitely talking trash about him!

As soon as they arrived at the school, Jiang Qingchen was dragged away by his teammates, "Jiang Qingchen, why are you so slow? We almost thought you weren’t coming! Come on, hurry up and get ready, it’s about to start."

Jiang Qingchen didn’t pay attention to his teammate but looked at Muxia instead.

Muxia thought he was worried about the bicycle, and quickly took it from his hands, "Go on, I’ll park the bike for you."

"Once it’s parked, head straight to the gym, don’t wander off, and don’t pay attention to strange men. There are a lot of miscellaneous people today, you know?" Jiang Qingchen instructed.

Where was he worried about the bicycle? He was clearly more concerned about her!

She was already so good-looking, and now she was dressed so prettily, to say nothing of those pale, delicate legs—it was driving him crazy!

"Don’t worry, my brother!" Muxia responded repeatedly, assuring him.

Only then did Jiang Qingchen leave with his teammate.

After Muxia parked the bicycle, she jogged toward the playground.

Inside the gym of Yi Zhong.

It was packed with people.

By the time Muxia arrived, Jiang Qingchen and Xu Zeming were already on the court.

They were wearing blue sports uniforms.

The opposing team from Er Zhong was dressed in red.

Both teams were currently in the preparation stage.

Jiang Qingchen’s gaze continuously wandered around the gym, and only when he saw the girl safely enter, did his heart finally settle down.

On the court, both sides were on the brink of action.

With a whistle, the teams immediately began to battle it out!

The basketball soared, players sweated profusely, and the screeching of sneakers against the floor echoed loudly.

The gym was buzzing with noise as the crowd cheered for the players from their school or for individual players.

Muxia’s clear, bright eyes were fixed intently on Xu Zeming in the middle of the court.

He truly was the one she liked.

Even in a plain sports uniform, he looked so good.

"Go, Xu! You can do it!" Muxia shed her shyness, waving her arms and legs about to cheer him on.

That shriek almost lifted the roof off the gym.

Many people couldn’t help but look in her direction.

Muxia felt embarrassed but then shamelessly shouted even louder.

The young girl was exuberant, waving her hands and raising her voice.

Xu Zeming couldn’t help but smile when he heard the girl’s cheers.

He even felt something indescribable, an emotion he himself couldn’t quite articulate.

Despite Xu Zeming’s laid-back demeanor, he had never been in a real relationship, nor did he know what it felt like to be in love with someone.

"Keep it up! Go, senior!" Muxia continued jumping around cheerfully, her ponytail flying and swinging, as excited as her mood at that moment.

Seeing her only cheering for Xu Zeming, Jiang Qingchen felt a surge of anger welling up inside him, turning his head to glare fiercely at her.

Muxia finally cheered him on, maybe because she saw the glare he gave her or perhaps her conscience kicked in: "Chen, you have to keep up the effort too!"

That cheer rang out like a warm current in the cold winter, a cool breeze in the scorching summer, refreshing Jiang Qingchen in an instant, soothing his entire body, and filling him with strength.

He immediately leaped, tracing an arc mid-air.

The basketball soared, dropping perfectly into the hoop.

"Amazing!"

The girls screamed again.

Jiang Qingchen’s performance on the court was exceptionally striking.

If one didn’t know better, they might think it was his solo show.

"Jiang Qingchen, you’re so awesome!"

"With you, our Number One High will definitely take first place!"

"Ahh, I like you so much, Jiang Qingchen!"

The girls’ screams surged again, like a tide, mixed with several bold confessions.

Although there were more than a dozen competitors on the court, the girls from Number One High were quite stingy with their cheers, reserving them only for Jiang Qingchen and Xu Zeming.

There was no helping it, who made them the most handsome!

"Xu, Chen, you guys have to win!" After brewing her energy for several minutes, Muxia once again let out a roaring cheer, her voice soaring high, as if afraid they wouldn’t hear her.

Finally!

Under the hopeful gazes of Muxia and the other students from Number One High, Jiang Qingchen and Xu Zeming met expectations and successfully clinched the championship in this competition.

The gymnasium erupted into cheers again.

"We won!"

"Our Number One High won!"

"Ah, I’m so excited!"

"Jiang Qingchen, Xu Zeming, you guys were great!"

"All thanks to you two!"

Her throat already sore and smoking from the effort, Muxia joined in with everyone else’s shouting.

"Xu, you must be so thirsty, hurry up and drink some water." Right after the match officially ended, Muxia sprinted like a 100-meter dash towards Xu Zeming with water in hand.

The girl, panting like a rabbit and holding the water, looked up at him with sparkling eyes, eagerly wanting him to take the water.

Xu Zeming quite enjoyed this adoring gaze and subconsciously took the water, his trademark smile on his face becoming a few degrees more sincere: "Thanks for your water, and your cheers earlier."

"You... you heard that?" Muxia’s face flushed in an instant.

She had cheered for him hoping he would hear it, but now that he actually had, she felt even more embarrassingly shy.

In short, it was incredibly contradictory!

"I heard it." Xu Zeming’s eyes twinkled with amusement as he nodded.

"You shouted so loudly, who couldn’t hear it?" At that moment, Jiang Qingchen, wiping off his sweat, walked over and said with a raised lip, somewhat disgruntled.

In this game, she cheered for Xu Zeming hundreds of times, but only a few for him!

The more he thought about it, the more jealous he felt!

And even more so, he felt concerned for her throat, which sounded a bit hoarse.

Muxia’s face turned an awkward red as she touched her nose, seeming both annoyed and bashfully thrusting a bottle of water at him: "Can’t you talk less and drink some water?"

Jiang Qingchen huffed and took the water.

Even though she didn’t offer him the first bottle of water, he still treasured the second one.

So much so...

That he didn’t even want to drink it, but save it instead.

Therefore, Jiang Qingchen’s hand, about to twist off the cap, paused.

Unaware of his hesitation, Muxia stayed close to Xu Zeming, fussing over him with tender care: "Xu, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"
