Crushing

Zhou Ling and Meng Xue'er also got a clear look at Mu Changsheng's face. A flash of admiration crossed both their eyes. So handsome!

Wu Xinghang was merely good-looking, but Mu Changsheng was genuinely handsome.

Mu Changsheng walked over, glanced down at Wu Xinghang, and then smiled at He Shuyu, "Shuyu... are these your friends?"

He Shuyu glanced at Zhou Ling and Meng Xue'er, then walked over to Mu Changsheng and said softly, "I just... accidentally bumped into them."

"But I've already apologized."

Wu Xinghang was a little jealous of Mu Changsheng's height. This guy was a full half-head taller than him...

And his height aside, his face was also so handsome.

"Hello... my name is Wu Xinghang."

Wu Xinghang smiled and greeted Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly in response, which made Wu Xinghang's expression immediately turn awkward.

Mu Changsheng took the lunchbox from He Shuyu's hand, opened it, and saw it was filled with all his favorite foods. "These are all my favorite dishes."

He Shuyu blushed and said softly, "As long as you like them."

Wu Xinghang was stunned when he saw Mu Changsheng open the lunchbox. "Xue'er, didn't you buy this for me?"

Meng Xue'er's pretty face froze, looking a bit embarrassed. How could she have known He Shuyu was also delivering food?

And Mu Changsheng arrived so perfectly timed.

"What do you mean, buy it for you? These are all dishes I like to eat. What does it have to do with you?"

Mu Changsheng frowned and glanced at Wu Xinghang.

Meng Xue'er was extremely embarrassed. She nudged Zhou Ling, who understood Meng Xue'er's intention. Zhou Ling cleared her throat, "Handsome guy, what's your relationship with her?"

Mu Changsheng sat on a nearby stool and said nonchalantly, "She's my girlfriend. What's wrong?"

Zhou Ling was taken aback, then sneered, "Handsome guy, your girlfriend just bumped into our Xue'er. She even said she'd pay for the lunchbox just now?"

"I didn't say that!"

He Shuyu's pretty face turned cold.

Zhou Ling sneered, "The three of us heard you loud and clear. Besides... this handsome guy wasn't here just now. Now that he's here, you're fawning over him."

"Handsome guy, I think you should open your eyes when choosing a girlfriend."

Zhou Ling said with a smile, looking at Mu Changsheng.

He Shuyu's face became flustered. She nervously looked at Mu Changsheng, her small hand gripping his sleeve, "I didn't..."

Mu Changsheng slowly stood up with the lunchbox, taking a look at it.

Zhou Ling thought Mu Changsheng believed her and said with a smile, "Handsome guy, when you choose a girlfriend, you shouldn't pick someone like this. What if she sells you out one day..."

Before Zhou Ling could finish, Mu Changsheng said indifferently, "Should I not choose someone pretty, but someone heavily made-up instead?"

Zhou Ling's expression instantly froze. Mu Changsheng held He Shuyu's small hand and looked down at Zhou Ling, "Even if she sold me out, I'd be willing."

He Shuyu looked at the tall Mu Changsheng in front of her, a warm current flowing through her heart. He still believed her.

"You... Who are you calling heavily made-up?!"

Zhou Ling glared at Mu Changsheng with an ugly expression.

Mu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, looking confused, "I wasn't talking about you. Don't take it personally."

"You!"

Zhou Ling's face turned red with anger. Wu Xinghang, standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and walked over with a cold expression, "Hey, Zhou Ling was trying to be nice to you, why are you like this?"

Zhou Ling snorted, "A dog biting the hand that feeds it. Ungrateful!"

Mu Changsheng glanced at Wu Xinghang, "What I am is none of your business, you loser!"

Wu Xinghang's face immediately turned ugly, "Who are you calling a loser?!"

"This beautiful lady hasn't even brought you food, and you're still fantasizing here. If you're not a loser, then who is?"

Mu Changsheng glanced at Meng Xue'er and said with a chuckle.

Wu Xinghang's expression turned extremely grim, "Bastard!"

"What?"

Mu Changsheng frowned and approached Wu Xinghang. His height advantage made Wu Xinghang feel a bit intimidated and he retreated a few steps.

"You... you..."

"A grown man, stuttering like this."

Mu Changsheng suddenly felt a bit bored.

"If you have the guts, let's have a match. Whoever loses has to kneel and apologize!"

Wu Xinghang glared at Mu Changsheng furiously.

Mu Changsheng heard this and immediately laughed, "You want to challenge me to a basketball game?"

Mu Changsheng wasn't actually good at basketball, but elbowing was his specialty.

Zhou Ling and Meng Xue'er blinked, wondering what this guy was laughing about.

Wu Xinghang was on the school team.

Wu Xinghang frowned, could this guy be really good at basketball?

That's not right, Wu Xinghang had been playing basketball for so long, and he'd never heard of this person.

Heh, this guy is definitely asking for humiliation.

"Heh, what? Scared to compete?"

Wu Xinghang immediately felt much more confident.

Mu Changsheng stretched, "Okay, let's have a match then."

Wu Xinghang sneered inwardly, I'll beat you to a pulp today.

Zhou Ling and Meng Xue'er walked over to Wu Xinghang. Zhou Ling whispered, "Xinghang, are you confident?"

Wu Xinghang sneered, "I haven't heard of this person on the school team, beating him would be a piece of cake."

Hearing this, Zhou Ling immediately became smug, "That's good, we must humiliate him properly today."

Meng Xue'er felt a sense of unease for some reason.

Meng Xue'er glanced back at Mu Changsheng and found him still joking around with He Shuyu.

This looked like a sure win.

He Shuyu grabbed Mu Changsheng's arm and whispered, "Can you play basketball?"

Mu Changsheng chuckled, "I couldn't before, but I can now."

"Ah? You just learned?"

He Shuyu looked at Mu Changsheng, completely bewildered.

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly, "You could say that. I haven't touched a basketball much before."

"But beating this little weakling is more than enough."

Mu Changsheng shrugged.

He Shuyu became nervous and gripped Mu Changsheng's arm, "Are you sure you can win?"

How could someone who just touched a ball for the first time beat someone who can play basketball?

He's definitely going to lose.

Mu Changsheng leaned into He Shuyu's ear and smiled, "Trust me."

"If I weren't confident, why would I gamble with him?"

He Shuyu was taken aback. Seeing the confidence in Mu Changsheng's eyes, she nodded, "Good luck!"

It's just an apology, what's so scary about that.

However, He Shuyu still sent a message to Xu Wen.

Asking Xu Wen to come and help out in a pinch.

Wu Xinghang beckoned to Mu Changsheng, taunting, "Kid, you're dawdling so much, are you scared?"
