After finishing a day of classes, Chen Shuo went to the basketball club to play basketball.
Exercise is really good medicine. No matter how bad your mood is, you can always vent your negative emotions through exercise.
After playing several games in a row, Chen Shuo's opponents were all lying down, sitting on the edge of the court, gasping for air.
Chen Shuo was fine, he only sweated a little.
"When I told you guys to do endurance training before, where did you all go?"
"How long have we been playing? And you're already lying down?"
"All of you are so useless!"
The members of the basketball club heard Chen Shuo's scolding, and didn't even have the strength to stand up and dribble the ball.
"Old Chen, did you take drugs or something? How is your endurance so good?"
"What's up with you today? Did something stimulate you? Do you have excess energy to burn?"
"Old Chen, forget it, if we keep training like this, I'm afraid I'll have to be carried out of the basketball club."
Hearing his teammates' wails, Chen Shuo finally realized that he was a vampire and of course their endurance couldn't compare with his.
At this moment, the sound of high heels came from the edge of the basketball court.
Long, straight legs stepped in high heels, black stockings tightly wrapped around beautiful legs, the lines becoming more smooth and perfect.
In all of Nanli University, besides Su Xiyan who else could have such gorgeous legs?
Su Xiyan was the sponsor of the basketball club. She could come and go freely without any restrictions.
Her purpose in coming to the basketball club today was obviously Chen Shuo!
But when Chen Shuo faced her, he treated her like an ordinary senior student sister.
Unexpectedly to Su Xiyan, he was neither cold nor avoiding her, but facing her fair and square.
But Su Xiyan would rather he be angry.
The more casual Chen Shuo was, the more upset Su Xiyan felt inside.
Did he already see her as a familiar stranger?
"Sister Su, do you have something to do in the basketball club?" Chen Shuo looked straight into Su Xiyan's clear eyes, a polite smile on his face.
Su Xiyan smiled at Chen Shuo, "Can't I come visit the basketball club if I don't have anything to do?"
Chen Shuo: "Of course you can."
Since Chen Shuo was indifferent, Su Xiyan also decided to keep it strictly business.
"I want to take a look at the basketball club’s financial statements from last month."
Chen Shuo glanced at his phone and nodded,
"It's mid-month today. According to the rules, I should report the basketball club’s expenditures from last month to Sister Su. After all, the basketball club is sponsored by Sister Su."
Chen Shuo waved and called over a student who was picking up basketballs scattered on the court: "Sister Su wants to see the expenditure statement of the basketball club last month, take her to see it!"
Su Xiyan: "I remember I was supposed to directly interface with you, Chen Shuo. According to the rules, shouldn't you personally report to me?"
Chen Shuo: "..."
Who made Su Xiyan the sponsor of the basketball club?
Under the effect of money power, Chen Shuo had no choice but to maintain a business attitude and lead Su Xiyan to the basketball club office.
The so-called office was just a small compartment separated next to the locker room.
Inside the small compartment were two computer desks and a file cabinet.
There were also various trophies won by the basketball club on the desks.
Chen Shuo's gaze was calm, as if the person in front of him at the moment was not Su Xiyan, with whom he once had complicated feelings, but just an ordinary senior student sister.
He took out a folder from the drawer which contained various payment vouchers and stubs, as well as completed income and expenditure forms.
"This is the statement of the basketball club's funds usage last month."
When Su Xiyan reached out to take the file holder Chen Shuo handed over, she deliberately touched the back of Chen Shuo's hand.
Her fingertips were slightly cool and very delicate, like a lump of icy jade.
Chen Shuo only felt a strange sensation transmitted from the back of his hand, quickly spreading throughout his body.
He thought back to Su Xiyan’s meticulous layout over such a long period of time, which was frightening. She deliberately exposed herself to danger in the private kitchen, just to force Chen Shuo to make a move.
She was taking a gamble, gambling on Chen Shuo’s true feelings for her.
In fact, she won the bet, because Chen Shuo eventually helped her.
But she also knew that although she won the bet, she lost Chen Shuo.
Apart from the coolness, her fingertips did not give Chen Shuo any other temperature.
Whenever Chen Shuo recalled the huge game Su Xiyan had set up, he no longer had any ideas about this girl in front of him with gorgeous looks and a devilish figure.
From Chen Shuo’s understanding of Su Xiyan, she was a girl who had very strong motivations behind everything she did.
Since she was approaching him again now, she must have other purposes.
He would not allow himself to make the same mistake twice.
Falling down once in one place could be attributed to being too trusting. But falling down a second time in the same place would just be stupid!! Chen Shuo told himself he would absolutely not stumble into the same pit twice!!
While looking through the statements, Su Xiyan frowned, her slender fair fingers pointing at one item: "How come this amount doesn't match? The amount on the voucher isn't this number!"
Chen Shuo: "Impossible. All the data and vouchers were checked by me personally several times."
Su Xiyan: "If you don't believe me, check for yourself."
In fact there was no problem with the accounts, Su Xiyan just wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time with Chen Shuo. As long as they could keep talking, there would always be a chance to explain things clearly to Chen Shuo.
She also knew Chen Shuo’s personality. If she tried to explain now, he would definitely think she was making excuses and wouldn’t even listen, he might even feel that she was plotting something again.
In fact, this was exactly what Chen Shuo thought.
Su Xiyan still had quite an accurate grasp of Chen Shuo’s thoughts about her.
Seeing Chen Shuo walk over to her side, she was secretly delighted!
The corners of her mouth raised an unrestrained arc.
Chen Shuo stood behind Su Xiyan, slightly leaning over: "Which item on the statement has a problem?"
Today Su Xiyan was wearing an open knit sweater. From Chen Shuo’s angle standing behind her and looking down, he could just see a glimpse of a beautiful valley.
But in Chen Shuo's eyes there was only the financial statement. He didn't let his gaze wander at all - it was as if the scenery in front of him didn't exist:
"Why aren't you speaking? Where is the problem?"
Su Xiyan: "..."
"No problem anymore!!"
"Here's the ledger!!"
"The bookkeeping is very good, don't check it again next time!!"
After saying that, Su Xiyan walked out of the basketball club office in a huff.
Now whether Su Xiyan was angry or not, or why she was angry, Chen Shuo didn't care at all.
The four words he had written in his notebook during class 【None of my business】 were a warning to himself.
After tidying up the books, Chen Shuo pushed the door to leave.
As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into two round dumpling-like balls.
At the door, Su Xiyan's crisp-sweet voice: "Chen Shuo, I'm hungry. Do you want to treat me to a meal?"
"If not, then I can treat you."
