Tong Luohua was indeed a man of her words. Every morning, she would wake up before dawn. When Zhan Wu flew to his house to pick him up, he was already fully prepared and was just waiting to leave.
Having someone to accompany him in the dark early morning of winter was naturally better than being alone. Zhan Wufei did not deny that he was actually very happy that Tong Luohua was willing to " travel under the stars and the moon " with him. Along the way, having more people to talk and laugh with was indeed much warmer than traveling alone in the cold wind.
But no matter what, Tong Luohua really had no obligation to make such a sacrifice. Although Zhan Wufei could not figure out why he insisted on accompanying him like this, every time he saw his pale face from the cold wind, he could not help but feel sorry for her. However, he also knew that Tong Luohua would not listen to his advice.
Thinking about it carefully, in some aspects, he was indeed very dependent on him.
Relying on someone younger than her! Furthermore, a large part of the matter was caused by his laziness. This made Zhan Wufei gradually feel a little embarrassed towards him. Although it wasn't to the point of owing him, once he had self-awareness, he would more or less want to make up for it.
For example, the two of them were sitting in his room reading. This was clearly his home, but the drinks on the table were diligently taken by Tong Luohua, who had gone downstairs to get them. It was because he was too lazy to move once he lay in bed.
"Luohua."
Tong Luohua, who was occupying his desk and doing her second homework, looked up when she heard the voice.
"What?"
"I'm really sorry for always asking you to cooperate with me.”
These were his heartfelt words, but in return, he was met with a look of suspicion from his childhood sweetheart.
"What's wrong with you? Why did he suddenly say such a strange thing?”
"No! " But…" His posture changed from lying on his side to sitting cross-legged, and his expression was a little ashamed because of self-reflection." I always feel that you're cooperating with me on many things. Even when I'm too lazy to go to your house to deliver things, I have to trouble you to be more diligent and often run back and forth between the two houses.”
"It's nothing." Tong Luohua, who didn't seem to mind, shrugged her shoulders.
Moreover, he was not doing this for nothing. As long as he could stay by Wu Fei's side, he would be willing to work a thousand times harder than he was now.
In the end, he was just an egoist.
"But I still feel, um…sorry!”
Even if the other party didn't mind, it was easy for him to think more and more when he thought about how much trouble he had caused him. Then, he felt that he had to make up for it.
"That's it!"
Zhan Wufei suddenly shouted out as if he had made up his mind. Tong Luohua, who was no longer paying attention to this topic, was shocked.
"What's wrong? Wufei."
"I've decided. To make it up to you, I'll give you something you want on your birthday next month. It's okay if it's a little expensive, as long as I can afford it.”As if he had realized that he was going to lose a lot of his savings, Zhan Wufei readily promised.
Something he wanted?
Of course, there was only one option, but…”Seeing that Tong Luohua suddenly fell silent, Zhan Wufei urged,"It doesn't matter if you can't think of it at the moment. You can go back and think about it again. It's rare for me to have the determination to spend a large sum of money. At the very least, I have to make sure that my money is worth it, he added.
Looking at Zhan Wufei who seemed to have come to a realization, Tong Luohua's beautiful lips curled into an imperceptible bitter smile.
What he really wanted didn't cost a single cent!
"I do have something I want." Staring at Zhan Wufei, who was staring at him with his eyes wide open, he put down the textbook beside him with a faint smile.
"What is it? What is it?" Zhan Wufei asked anxiously.
"Something that I want so badly that I can even dream of it, and something that I can get without spending money.”
"Eh?" Was there such a good thing?
He could satisfy his expectations without spending a single cent?
" But…" Zhan Wufei's curious expression made him unable to hold back his joy. Deep down, he knew that it was still a long way from fulfilling his desire." You can't afford it."”
"Ah?"
"No, you can't give it to me.”
"Wait, wait a minute! Aren't you toying with me? How could I not give you something that is free?”Zhan Wufei jumped off the bed in one go and glared at him seriously and unhappily.
"It's true that I don't need a single cent, but it's also something that you definitely can't give me.”A hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes, but Zhan Wufei, who was busy getting angry, didn't notice it.
"What? Why don't you tell me what you want?”
"Forget it. You won't be able to give it to me even if I tell you.”
"How would I know if you didn't tell me? Moreover, you're the one who kept saying that you don't need to spend money, and you're the one who decided that I can't afford it. Aren't you too self-righteous?”
Tong Luohua's deep and unfathomable eyes glanced at Zhan Wufei." Forget it."”
"Don't drag your words out like this!”Tong Luohua's attitude had angered him, and Zhan Wufei felt that his good intentions had been ruined. "What exactly do you want?”
Oh, he was really an impatient person to get angry just like that.
Tong Luohua wordlessly glanced at Zhan Wufei, whose eyes were burning with anger. She still maintained her usual calm and collected demeanor. This was the decision he had made ever since he realized his feelings for Zhan Wufei. In order to be allowed to stay by Zhan Wufei's side forever, he would never tell the truth even if he had to tear his mouth apart. "I won't say."
"You're very annoying! Why are you keeping me in suspense!"
"I don't want to say."
Zhan Wufei knew that Tong Luohua's determined expression meant that he wouldn't change his mind even if he was beaten to death. However, since she didn't plan to tell him from the beginning, why did she say it? She was clearly playing with him!
"Then why are you telling me that you have something you want?”He was no longer as angry as before, but there was still a considerable dissatisfaction in his muttering tone.
That was his personality. His anger came and went quickly, and there were very few things that could make him brood over it.
"Since you don't want to tell me, how would I know what to give you?”
"There's no need for birthday gifts or compensation. Anyway, I'm already used to working hard to cooperate with you!”Since it was a secret, she couldn't tell him, so Tong Luohua tried to divert his attention.
"Tsk, you make it sound like you're wronged.”Zhan Wufei shrugged.
However, he knew better than anyone that Tong Luohua was such a person. If he wanted to be calculative, he would have been qualified to settle the score with him 800 years ago.
Every time he " displayed " his laziness to his heart's content, Tong Luohua would be the one who would stay by his side without a second word and even help him clean up the aftermath. Even though he was younger than him, he was always more reliable than the lazy Zhan Wufei in certain aspects. This was something that Zhan Wufei had to admit.
Perhaps it was because they had been together since they were young, but compared to being with anyone else, the feeling of being with Tong Luohua made him feel the most at ease.
As long as he was around, he didn't need to worry about these trivial matters. Because before he had time to notice that something was wrong, Tong Luohua would definitely settle it for him.
Come to think of it, she was always busy as the student council secretary, and she had to go to the Chemistry Club every two or three days to participate in or help out with some competitions or results exhibition. She also had to take care of her busy schoolwork as a student. How did Tong Luohua find time to accompany him in his morning and evening offensive and defensive practice? To find a way to free up this time, he must have racked his brains and exhausted himself.
It should be the bottom line for him to be able to take time off from his busy schedule. For now, he could still overcome all difficulties and try his best to cooperate with her. However, if he got a girlfriend in the future, he would definitely not be by his side all the time like now, right?
His heart felt like it had been stabbed when he thought of this.
Well, it's not a good thing to be too used to the company of others.
He took Luo Hua's situation in his room for granted, and it was even worse.
Today, if Luo Hua had a girlfriend, as his best friend, he should congratulate him. However, Zhan Wufei, who was already used to his company, realized that he would definitely have an unpleasant argument.
No! How could he be so selfish?
He made up his mind that if Luohua had a girlfriend in the future, he would sincerely wish him well. However, before that, he would temporarily let his selfishness continue to be willful!
Although he wasn't very sure why the popular Luo Hua hadn't gotten a girlfriend yet, he knew that he was different from himself, who preferred to be alone because he found it troublesome. He would find a suitable girl to date sooner or later, but when that time came, he would be lonely…Ah! It was useless to think so much in advance. Zhan Wufei, who had always been optimistic by nature and lazy to think too much, could not help but pull his hair to stop his imagination from spreading. Anyway, when things happened, things would naturally cross the bridge when they came to it!
During lunch break, Tong Luohua finally managed to temporarily settle the Student Union matters. She ran quickly towards the gymnasium. Her goal was naturally to stay by Zhan Wufei's side. However, when she arrived at the gymnasium, she learned from the basketball club members who were doing passing practice that Zhan Wufei had already finished his practice and had disappeared.
As someone who understood Zhan Wufei's behavior better than anyone else, he naturally didn't need to think much to guess where Zhan Wufei was going. Therefore, after changing directions, he used less than one-third of his lunch break to rush to the other most likely destination…the top floor of the science building that had just been completed two months ago.
Sure enough, the person he was looking for was lying on his back on the top of the two-meter-square concrete wall that covered the water tower, as if no one was around. Students were not allowed to enter this place at will. Therefore, only the two of them had arrived at the spacious square on the top floor.
With one hand supporting himself, he relied on the agility he had gained from years of basketball practice and leaped onto the top of the cement wall that was about one and a half meters high. He sat down beside Zhan Wufei, who was in a daze.
"Wow! You scared me." Zhan Wufei, who had been staring at the blue sky and white clouds aimlessly, raised his upper body slightly when he noticed that someone had suddenly appeared beside him. However, after confirming who it was, he lay back down leisurely." It's you. Don't scare me, okay?”
"Who else will come here?" Zhan Wufei's tone caused his heart to tremble. He was afraid that a third person might have come to this small world that originally belonged only to the two of them.
After the science building, which had just been built and inspected before winter break, was opened to the public, Zhan Wufei ignored the school's ban notice and sneakily climbed to this quiet place that would never be disturbed. He was satisfied to find that this was a good place for him to catch his breath.
After that, whenever he wanted to take a break after practice, he would avoid everyone's eyes and ears and quietly sneak here to daydream. And of course, only Tong Luohua, who was inseparable from him, knew about his habit.
"No, I didn't." Zhan Wufei didn't understand why there was a hint of nervousness in his tone. He raised his eyebrows and looked at him in confusion.
"Then why are you scared of me? Since I'm the only one looking for you, you should know that it can't be anyone else when you hear the voice.”
Zhan Wufei couldn't figure out why he was so upset over such a thing. He shrugged and took a sip of the sports drink at the side.
"Who taught you to suddenly run to my side without saying anything? That's why I was scared. Moreover, I was afraid that the teacher would come here to catch a student who broke the rules.”
"As long as we don't tell anyone, no one will know that someone will come here during lunch break, right?”The literal meaning of her words sounded like she was thinking for Zhan Wufei, but no one knew her thoughts better than Tong Luohua.
He just wanted to use this to prevent him from suddenly having a whim and calling his friends to destroy the peace that originally belonged to only the two of them. That was why he reminded him from time to time to take precautions.
"That's right." Zhan Wufei, who had no idea what he was up to, was just afraid that if his teacher found out about it one day, he would lose this small world where he could relax.
He bent his elbow slightly to support his upper body and yawned loudly. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and asked Tong Luohua, who was sitting cross-legged beside him,
"By the way, are you done with the Student Union?”She understood that he was often busier than she was, and it was not easy for her to find time to accompany him all the time.
"It's almost done." He didn't feel the slightest bit of pain from running around. In any case, as long as he could fly with Zhan Wu as much as possible, no matter how tired he was, he felt that it was worth it. "By the way, I told you last time that the motion to prohibit outsiders from disturbing the club's after-school activities has already entered the review process. If there are no accidents, it should be passed smoothly next week and raised to the whole school at the assembly on Friday.”
"Wow, you really proposed this to the student council?”Zhan Wufei's reaction was to look at him in shock." I thought you were just saying that.”
"I'm very serious!”
Tong Luohua was especially diligent when it came to matters that were actually done for her own benefit. When he thought about how from the week after next, he would no longer have to worry about those fangirls staring at his Wu Fei, he could not help but blame himself for not thinking of this method earlier.
Zhan Wufei raised his eyebrows in disbelief. Without saying anything, he placed his hands behind his head and lay down to relax his body.
The sun peeked out from the slightly thick clouds and sprinkled a few golden threads that were similar to the color of the intoxicating vodka. The gentle breeze that gently brushed against the face also carried a hint of coldness. On the top floor of the highest floor of the school, one could not help but feel a sense of loneliness at the top.
"How about it? Do you want a bite?" Zhan Wufei suddenly spoke to Tong Luohua, who was also stunned.
"Eh?" Slightly startled, Tong Luohua quickly regained her senses and looked at the person who spoke.
"I saw you staring at it." Zhan Wufei glanced at the half-empty sports drink that had been placed aside. When he realized that Tong Luohua was still looking at him in confusion, Zhan Wufei simply handed the bottle to him." Here, take it!"”
"Uh…"
She didn't expect that the direction she turned her eyes to when she was stunned was exactly where the drinks were placed. She also didn't expect Zhan Wufei to misunderstand his gaze so much. For a moment, Tong Luohua didn't know how to react.
"Take it if you want. You're welcome. There's still a lot left anyway.”Thinking that he was embarrassed, Zhan Wufei pushed the bottle into his arms.
" But…" Tong Luohua didn't do anything else.
Previously, he had seen Zhan Wufei drinking directly from the bottle. If he were to drink the same bottle of drink, wouldn't that be…an indirect kiss?
His heart suddenly beat twice as fast as before. Blood rushed into his mind, and his throat tightened. He suddenly found it difficult to breathe. Even the sound of swallowing saliva was so loud that it shook his eardrums.
"Ah, or are you afraid of my saliva?”Zhan Wufei nodded as if he had come to a realization after explaining his hesitation.
"No, I…"
Ah! This was a rare opportunity! Why was he dragging his feet here? He had already " ambushed " her twice. What was the point of being reserved now?
"Do you care about such things? I don't even know." Seeing that he didn't reply, Zhan Wufei continued talking to himself and placed the special treasure bottle back on the ground.
"There's no such thing!" Tong Luohua hurriedly grabbed the bottle in his hand, unscrewed the cap, and immediately swallowed the sports drink that poured into her mouth without hesitation. However, what she tasted was not the taste of the drink itself, but the sweet and sour feeling of indirectly kissing Zhan Wufei.
Oh, how blissful!
A great opportunity had almost slipped away just like that. This was an opportunity that would not arouse Wu Fei's suspicion and could kiss him openly!
Intoxicated in the feeling of happiness, a question that made him tremble and jealous suddenly rushed into his mind like lightning.
"Wufei, you…would you share a straw or drink a bottle with other students like this?”
"What?" Zhan Wufei didn't expect him to ask such a question. He was silent for a while before he found a very vague answer."Hmm, it doesn't seem like it will happen soon."
"Why? You…can just follow me, can't you?”
"Yeah, why?" He tried his best to squeeze out a reason, but Zhan Wufei realized that it was natural for him to do so. There was no need to think too much about it.
"Wufei?"
"Who knows! It's probably because we grew up together and used to do this, so we're used to it!”
Zhan Wufei couldn't be bothered to spend too much time thinking about this matter, so he casually threw an explanation to Tong Luohua. However, he completely didn't notice that the latter was so happy because of his " special treatment " that she was so adorable.
No matter what reason Wu Fei had for doing this, just knowing that she held a completely different position in his heart from the others made Tong Luohua extremely excited.
He tried to suppress the corners of his lips that kept curling up, enjoying the short moment when they were alone.
"Why are you here?"
Zhan Wufei stood at the entrance of the gymnasium with his hands on his hips. He stared blankly at Tong Luohua, who was carrying a small travel bag in her hands.
It was a Friday night a week before the spring competition. The basketball club had forced all members to live on campus for three days in order to do their last intensive training. Although they lived on campus, of course, they lived in their usual training ground…the gym.
In the stadium that should only have the basketball club members, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared. Tong Luohua, who was at most just a friend of the captain, was calmly walking past the confused Zhan Wufei and entering the gymnasium. She didn't seem to notice the puzzled and doubtful gazes from the surroundings.
"Hey!" Zhan Wufei was stunned for a moment. When his childhood sweetheart, who shouldn't have appeared here, walked past him, Zhan Wufei suddenly pulled his arm as if he had just woken up." What are you doing here?”
Tong Luohua was forced to stop, but she still did as she pleased.
"We're participating in the training together."
He spoke as if it was a matter of course, but everyone present could not help but cast strange and confused looks at him. This naturally included Zhan Wufei.
"What are you doing here?" He stared blankly at Tong Luohua, who was expressionless." You're not a member of the basketball club.”
"What does it matter? One more person means one more helper, right?”
"What?"
"Anyway, I was idle at home during the weekend, and you guys just happened to be short of manpower, so I came!”
He shrugged.
In fact, when he heard that the basketball club was going to live on campus for the last few days of training, he had already made plans to join.
What a joke. How could he be at ease when Wu Fei was placed in the middle of a group of people who worshipped him to the extreme? Also, although there were no obvious signs, he felt that the manager of the basketball club must be interested in his Wu Fei!
And these few days, they would be together like shadows, so of course, he could not rest assured.
" I have nothing to do anyway…" Zhan Wufei frowned at the answer that made him lose his focus." Hey, even if you're bored, you don't have to come here…"
"I won't cause you any trouble. Besides, I can help you!”
" If the others don't have any objections, of course I'll agree…" Zhan Wufei's gaze turned to the members who were still in a daze. They were just sitting on the floor or chairs and staring at him.
No one spoke for nearly 30 seconds. It seemed that they had acquiesced to this request.
" If no one objects…" Zhan Wufei's gaze swept across the rows of players who were sitting haphazardly. In fact, as long as he nodded, they did not intend to object at all. However, he had never been used to using authority, and the members of the basketball club did not care at all." It's decided."”
The matter was settled.
After that, the three days of training completely exceeded Tong Luohua's imagination. It was so hectic that no one had the time to think about anything other than training.
However, as a non-member, he was naturally much more relaxed than others. And with this rare opportunity, he was fortunate enough to see how strict Wu Fei was when he was leading people. This made him realize that Wu Fei's attitude towards him was unexpectedly gentle. It was like when he first taught him to play basketball, he had never shouted loudly.
Did this mean that his position in Wu Fei's heart was different from the others? If that was the case, he would be so happy that he would even laugh in his dreams!
Throughout the entire weekend, the stadium was filled with Zhan Wufei's shouts of loudly correcting his team members. Outsiders might find it strange, but not a single one of them showed the slightest bit of displeasure or protest. They all obediently accepted their respected captain's never-ending correction.
Witnessing her "own" Wu Fei being stared at with such admiration by her team members, Tong Luohua couldn't help but feel a stomach full of anger, but she couldn't openly stop them.
Among them, what bothered him the most was the team manager's attitude towards Wu Fei. She would often approach him condescendingly, and then the two of them would whisper something. However, when they realized that someone was approaching, they would immediately stop talking. This made Tong Luohua involuntarily start to let her imagination run wild, endlessly speculating about the possible topics between them.
In the end, it was only after Monday's match ended and everyone returned to their normal state of work and rest that he finally got the answer he wanted from Wu Fei.
"Oh, you mean that?" Naturally, it was in Zhan Wufei's room. When he heard Tong Luohua, who was sitting on his bed, raise this question, he shrugged and looked at him nonchalantly. After taking a sip of the ice-cold root beer, he said,"We're talking about the basketball team.”
"Then why are you afraid of being heard?" There was an unhappy expression on her beautiful face.
"Afraid of being heard? What do you mean?"
"Every time, the two of you seem to be whispering something.”
"Eh? Is that so?" Zhan Wufei was a little surprised that he would even notice such a small detail." Yes, you can't tell anyone. That's because we were discussing whether we should let a third-year senior be the starter.”
"But hasn't the starting lineup been decided long ago?”
To be so clear about such things, he was indeed an underground member of the basketball club.
"It was originally, but recently, I feel that his coordination isn't very good. Not only with me, but also with the other players. That's why we want to change someone, because the coordination of the point guard is very important to the whole team.”
"If it doesn't work, we can change people."
"But this position was originally played by a third-year senior. It can't be changed just like that.”
"So what if I'm in the third grade? If they were not capable enough, they could only retreat behind the scenes.”
In short, the problem he had been worried about was a thousand miles away. Tong Luohua secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
As long as no one was after his Wu Fei, he wouldn't care about what happened.#
