Chapter 264: She Wished She Was Xi Xia
Several people stepped out of the Audi next to her car while she was not paying attention. Suddenly, someone called out her name.
“Lin Yiqian?” The unfamiliar man’s voice sounded doubtful.
Lin Yiqian turned her head in his direction to find three men standing with another woman. Two of the men wore spectacles while the other man was slightly overweight. Meanwhile, the girl was of average height and had short hair that reached her ears.
If Lin Yiqian were not mistaken, these people went to the same high school as she did.
Back in school, she never had much interaction with these people. After graduating, there was even less of a need to do so.
After nodding at the group of people, she did not say a word as she proceeded to open the door to her car.
“Lin Yiqian.” The slightly overweight man approached her and stood in her way as he smiled at her. “Hey, old friend. What’s the rush?”
As the parking lot was poorly lit, the man’s face seemed unusually oily.
He looked disgusting.
“Move aside.” Lin Yiqian frowned in disgust.
She sounded harsh.
After finishing her sentence, Lin Yiqian grabbed the man by his arm and tried to push him away. However, the man grabbed her wrist in return. “Lin Yiqian, I am Zhang Chao. They are Qiu Guoqing and Xiao Susu. Don’t you remember us?” Zhang Chao introduced himself before introducing the other two to Lin Yiqian.
“No, I don’t,” Lin Yiqian answered blandly before pushing Zhang Chao’s hand away.
However, Zhang Chao was still standing in her way so that she could not get into her car.
“Come on, Lin Yiqian. It’s so rare for us to meet. Let’s have supper together.” He looked at Lin Yiqian with a suggestive smile on his face.
Lin Yiqian was wearing a pink short-sleeved T-shirt. As it had a V-neck collar, a small section of her fair-skinned chest was revealed along with her collar-bones.
Zhang Chao’s eyes appeared to be glowing as he looked at her chest.
‘Absolutely disgusting!’ Lin Yiqian thought to herself. “If you don’t get out of my way, I am calling the cops.”
Right then, Xiao Susu began to speak. “Zhang Chao, she has always walked around with her nose in the air. Why would she eat with us?” She remarked, sarcastically.
“Gu Nianshen is not home anyway. You’ll be home alone if you go back now. Why don’t you play with us? You’re already a grown woman. Stop pretending to be an innocent girl,” Qiu Guoqing added.
“Why does it matter if Gu Nianshen is at home or not? Everybody knows that Gu Nianshen likes Xi Xia. Gu Nianshen and his Black Horse team have delayed the basketball competition with Fu Zhong’s team by a month because of Xi Xia. It’s because Xi Xia will return to the country next week and can only get out of the house after a month,” Xiao Susu chipped in.
Lin Yiqian was stunned when she heard this.
Black Horse was the basketball team Gu Nianshen, Li Nanmu, and the others had formed when they were in the first year of high school. Gu Nianshen wore the jersey with the number ‘1’ printed across the Black Horse logo as he was the team leader.
Back then, there was nothing Lin Yiqian looked forward to more than the basketball match every Friday. That was the only time she could openly gawk at the young teenager who wore the number ‘1’ jersey.
It was also the only time she could cheer for him from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Yiqian was very jealous of Xi Xia. She had wished that she could become Xi Xia so that she could be there for Gu Nianshen’s every single basketball match and be the one to bring him water after each match ended.
