Chapter 64: Three People Travel Together

  Li Jingru heard the voice she had been yearning for, and when Lin Xiaoyu called out her name, it was like a warm ray of sunshine. In her heart, it was like a ray of sunlight breaking through the dark clouds, reaching deep into her soul, driving away all the darkness within her.

  Li Jing slowly turned her head, and she saw Lin Xiaoyu's smiling face. Li Jing felt a momentary dizziness at that moment, but she quickly recovered. It was because of the pretty girl standing next to Lin Xiaoyu.

  "I was thinking of going to find you, didn't expect you to come back to the stadium to watch the ball game, it really surprised me, Xiao Ru." Lin Xiaoyu did not notice that her appearance had brought so many complicated feelings to Li Jingru.

  "It was my classmate who brought me here to watch. I didn't think you'd come to our school to play basketball." Li Jing pointed to Mo Xiao Hui beside her. Li Jing did not point out the senior who had brought her and Mo Xiao Hui to watch the game. At this time, Li Jing really wanted to know what relationship the pretty girl standing next to Lin Xiao Yu had with him, so she casually asked in a nonchalant tone: "Xiao Yu, is the one beside you your classmate?"

  Li Jingru felt her heart beating faster and slower after asking, she was a little afraid that Lin Xiaoyu would say something like this beautiful girl is his girlfriend. Li Jingru knew that if Lin Xiaoyu said such a sentence, her heart would be in severe pain as if it had been smashed.

  "Oh, she's Yan Nan, I've mentioned her to you before." Lin Xiaoyu said after introducing Li Jingru, "Xiao Nan, this is Xiao Rong, who grew up with me since childhood, Li Jingru."

  "Hello." The two girls simultaneously greeted each other. At the same time, they were also secretly sizing each other up.

  Li Jingru of course knew who Lin Xiaoyu introduced as Yan Nang, Lin Xiaoyu had mentioned this girl to her in middle school, Li Jingru also knew that the red wristband on Lin Xiaoyu's wrist was given by this girl named Yan Nang, Li Jingru did not expect Yan Nang to be such a beautiful girl, she felt some suspicion about Yan Nang and Lin Xiaoyu's relationship, sometimes girls' intuition can be surprisingly scary, Li Jingru thought that Yan Nang must have an unusual affection for Lin Xiaoyu.

  Yan Nan was also surprised when Lin Xiaoyu introduced the girl wearing the uniform of First Middle School as Li Jingru. Yan Nan had often heard Lin Xiaoyu mention that he had a neighbor girl who grew up together, named Li Jingru. However, Yan Nan did not expect that Li Jingru would be such a beautiful and quiet girl. Yan Nan thought that this Li Jingru was as lovely as a lily blooming in the valley, and in her elegant demeanor, she showed a kind of pure and refined feeling.

  Yan Nian had already secretly admired Lin Xiaoyu for a long time, but suddenly found out that there was another girl who had deep feelings for Lin Xiaoyu and was surprisingly beautiful. Yan Nian couldn't help but feel a little worried about Li Jingru, this pretty girl, because he didn't know if such an excellent and almost perfect girl also liked Lin Xiaoyu.

  A senior student nearby saw a boy wearing an experimental middle school basketball team uniform affectionately calling his crush, Li Jingru, "Little Ru". This made the senior pay extra attention to this boy. However, when he saw that there was a beautiful girl standing next to him who could rival Li Jingru in beauty, the senior's anxiety eased slightly. At the same time, he felt a twinge of jealousy towards this experimental middle school boy - how did he manage to have such a pretty girlfriend and also be so close to Li Jingru? The senior had never heard anyone else call Li Jingru "Little Ru" before, not even her closest female classmates.

  The senior student looked down on the boy in his heart. A student from an experimental middle school, definitely not as good as himself, a student at the First Middle School of Feicui City, and also a member of the student union. His grades were always among the top in this first-rate middle school that gathered high school elites. This boy from the experimental middle school was definitely inferior to him. What's so great about being good at basketball? Such a rough sport was something he had never deigned to participate in. Students should focus on studying, if they wanted to play ball, why not join professional basketball training or a school team?

  The senior looked at the scoreboard inside the stadium and saw that his alma mater, First Middle School, was still leading Experimental Middle School by seven or eight points. The senior looked down on the boy wearing the Experimental Middle School basketball team uniform even more. The senior thought to himself that the main players of this boy's school basketball team couldn't even beat the players from our school, let alone a substitute like him who didn't even have a chance to play, his strength must be extremely poor.

  The senior saw Li Jingru chatting with the boy, and he wanted to join in and casually mock the boy wearing the experimental middle school uniform. However, their conversation made it impossible for him to chime in. What's more infuriating was that Li Jingru didn't even introduce herself, making it seem like she was brought over by her female classmate to watch the game, which left the senior feeling extremely frustrated.

  Li Jingru and Lin Xiaoyu chatted with Yan Nan for a few words, then took Lin Xiaoyu away from the stadium, saying they wanted to take Lin Xiaoyu and Yan Nan to see the school environment. This made the senior so angry that he stomped his feet. He had brought Li Jingru all the way to watch the game, but she didn't even glance at it and instead took a boy from another school to tour the campus scenery. The senior had never seen Li Jingru be so enthusiastic about that boy before, and he couldn't help feeling extremely jealous of him.

  The First Middle School is the oldest school in Feicui City, although the teaching facilities of the First Middle School are constantly being updated and replaced, the campus still retains a strong historical and cultural flavor. These things can always be seen unintentionally within the campus of the First Middle School. For example, the big tree growing in front of that new teaching building has enough years of marks to make people over 80 years old remember their childhood when this old tree was like this. Or that small pavilion on the small lotus pond, the paint is a bit off, but the ancient flavor is even more intense, and it looks more poetic on the quiet little lotus pond.

  "Xiao Yu, aren't you going to play at all? You're even wearing your uniform. How can we leave when the game isn't over yet?" Li Jingru asked Lin Xiaoyu curiously as they walked slowly along the path of First Middle School with Yan Nan.

  "No need, hehe. The coach said I wouldn't have a chance to play today." Lin Xiaoyu recalled that previously, Bian Guohui had called him over and told him that he wouldn't let him play in this match, in order to keep the team's tactics secret, so they could catch their opponents off guard in future official matches. That's why Lin Xiaoyu was able to stroll around the campus of First Middle School with Li Jingru at this moment.

  "Xiao Yu is really bad at techniques, so the coach doesn't give him a chance to play, in case he loses face for our school." Yan Nan joked on Lin Xiao Yu's right side. After chatting with Li Jing Ru for a while, Yan Nan and Li Jing Ru slowly became familiar with each other. The lively and cheerful Yan Nan and the gentle and easy-going Li Jing Ru were both very pleasant girls to get along with, so after they met, their conversation went quite well.

  "Xiao Nan, don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for slander!" Lin Xiaoyu pretended to be fierce and intimidating towards Yan Nan, but it had no effect on him. Li Jingru, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but smile at Lin Xiaoyu's expression.

  The three of them continued walking slowly on the path of First Middle School, which was much larger than Experimental Middle School. They walked for over ten minutes and still hadn't finished.

  "Haha, look, even the number one middle school that boasts of having the best academic performance also has students who secretly smoke just like our Experimental Middle School." Sharp-eyed Yan Nan spotted a few boys smoking in a secluded corner of the campus.

  "Hehe, every school has some restless students." Lin Xiaoyu smiled and replied. But when Lin Xiaoyu took a closer look, she quickly walked towards the place where those boys who were smoking were.

  Yan Nan and Li Jingru behind Lin Xiaoyu were a bit unclear what Lin Xiaoyu was going to do by walking over to those boys.

  "Hey, the one with long hair, who let you smoke in school? Come with me to the principal's office." Lin Xiaoyu walked into the group of smokers and said seriously.

  Lin Xiaoyu's words startled the boys for a moment, but when they saw that it was only Lin Xiaoyu alone, and still a student wearing a school uniform, they quickly regained their composure. One of the boys sneered viciously: "Who are you? Mind your own business and get out of here. Be careful or I'll beat you up."

  On the other side, the long-haired boy who was called out by Lin Xiaoyu looked at Lin Xiaoyu and his expression suddenly became happy. He punched Lin Xiaoyu's shoulder with a fist, saying somewhat unexpectedly: "Hey, I said it was someone! It turned out to be you, this kid, haha, long time no see! How did you end up in my school?"

  At this time, Lin Xiaoyu's face no longer had the serious expression she had put on earlier, and her face was also full of joy: "Haha, I followed the school bus to play basketball today, and I didn't expect to see you. You little stinker almost made me unrecognizable."

  The long-haired boy smoking was Chen Yi, Lin Xiaoyu's best friend from elementary school. Seeing him made Lin Xiaoyu very happy. Their childhood friendship had not faded in the slightest over time. The friends next to Chen Yi, who had initially looked intimidating, put away their fierce expressions upon learning that Lin Xiaoyu was a friend of Chen Yi's. One of them said gruffly, "You almost scared me half to death! Brother Yi, your friend is really something - as soon as he shows up, he acts like the school principal or something, and I almost dropped my cigarette."

  Lin Xiaoyu smiled at them with embarrassment.

  "My goodness, Xiao Yu, you've grown so tall! I used to be always taller than you, now you're half a head taller than me." Chen Yi looked at Lin Xiaoyu.

  "You've also become a lot stronger." Lin Xiaoyu saw that Chen Yi was slightly shorter than herself, but he had a strong back and waist, and his slightly overgrown hair made him look unlike a first-year high school student.

  At this time, Li Jingru and Yan Nan also walked over. The appearance of these two beautiful girls immediately made the eyes of those boys a little straight.

  Chen Yi knew Li Jingru, the girl who was elected as the school flower of the first year in the First Middle School. She was the class leader of Chen Yi's elementary school class and also a neighbor who played with Lin Xiaoyu. When they met during classes at the First Middle School, Chen Yi would also greet her. As for the other one, Chen Yi had never seen her before. This girl was as beautiful as Li Jingru, making Chen Yi couldn't help but take two more glances.

  "Which one of the two is actually the girlfriend of that kid in the basketball jersey, Brother Yi?" After chatting with Lin Xiaoyu for a few sentences, Chen Yi continued to look at the scenery of First Middle School. One of Chen Yi's friends couldn't help but ask him a question after Lin Xiaoyu and the other two turned around and walked away.

  "I don't know either." Chen Yishen couldn't guess it out either. He watched Lin Xiaoyu walking between two pretty girls, and really didn't know what the relationship was like among the three of them.

  "Your friend's luck with women is quite impressive. I've never seen two girls as beautiful as that before." Chen Yi's friend said with a hint of envy.

  Actually, Chen Yi's words were heard by Lin Xiaoyu and the other two people who hadn't gone far. The words stirred up different ripples in the hearts of the three people... Lin Xiaoyu and the others continued walking, looking at the scenery on campus with a still relaxed expression, but the ripples that had been stirred up in their hearts were still rippling...
