You Truly Are a Beast!

She thought Su Yan liked her.

She lifted her head, blinked her big eyes at Su Yan, mustered her courage, and continued, "Then... then wait for me to grow up, and I'll confess to you again."

"I'll still like you, just like always."

"You have to wait for me too."

No.

A Zhen, you're serious!

We just met for the first time, at most you watched me play basketball for five minutes last night.

And you like me that much?

I mean, this damn charm.

Su Yan smiled faintly and replied, "Alright, I'll wait for you."

He couldn't bring himself to refuse such a pretty girl outright—it would crush the little girl, even make her lose confidence.

It was a white lie.

Su Yan also knew that the little girl was just acting on impulse; after a while, she'd forget about him.

Besides.

A girl this beautiful, how could she lack suitors?

Little did he know... Su Yan's white lie only made the little girl believe it even more.

She was convinced that Su Yan liked her too.

That they had love at first sight.

It's just that... she was still young, and Su Yan didn't want to hurt her.

Yeah, that's what she thought.

After hearing him, the little girl broke into a smile and pouted, "Hey~ would you really make a girl keep holding flowers?"

"They're mine."

Su Yan chuckled and took the flowers from her hands.

He thought that by explaining the situation, the little girl would understand, and accepting the flowers didn't mean anything.

But she didn't see it that way at all.

In her eyes, Su Yan had already tacitly agreed that she was his girlfriend, and when she was older, they'd officially confirm the relationship.

"Thanks for the flowers."

Su Yan thanked her politely, without a trace of emotion, "If there's nothing else, I need to go train."

"Mm-hmm."

The little girl nodded.

"Let's go, David Lee."

Su Yan called out.

Ah~ that's it? No hug? No kiss?

David Lee wasn't satisfied with this drama, but he still straightened up, ready to leave.

"Wait... wait a second."

The little girl stopped Su Yan again.

"Is there something else?"

Su Yan paused to ask. A hint of shyness crept onto the little girl's face, "Can... can you give me a hug?"

"Of course."

Su Yan agreed readily.

A girl this beautiful had mustered the courage to confess to you—what's a hug?

Su Yan stepped forward and wrapped his arms around the little girl.

At 201 centimeters, holding the little girl gave off a vibe like... a father hugging his daughter.

Damn~

David Lee behind him let out a string of curses.

He knew... his mind was in the gutter.

Su Yan felt the girl's soft body, catching the faint scent of her skin and hair.

Mm, it smelled nice.

Just one moment, then Su Yan politely let go of the little girl, offering a warm smile, "Make sure to study hard, okay? At your age, studying is the most important thing."

He must want me to become better, so I can be worthy of him.

"Mm."

The little girl nodded obediently.

"Well, bye-bye then."

Su Yan waved goodbye and continued walking. David Lee followed, and the two gradually moved away from the little girl.

Suddenly.

The little girl ran back again, stopping in front of Su Yan.

While Su Yan was still stunned, the little girl quickly pounced on him, hopping up to peck him on the cheek.

"My name is Walter Marcia. I'll confess to you again!"

Marcia blushed, left her name, and quickly ran off.

This... was he just forcibly kissed?

Su Yan was taken aback at first, then shook his head with a wry smile.

David Lee turned back to see the little girl had vanished, then couldn't help but complain: "Su Yan, you actually turned down a girl that pretty? Doesn't your conscience ache?!"

"Bro, she's only fifteen. She's a minor.

Even if I had some bold idea in my head, for that bold idea, our country has a complete criminal code."

Su Yan curled his lip.

"So what?"

David Lee wasn't impressed, then kept shaking his head. "Marcia, right? That little girl's face is unreal.

And she's not even an adult yet.

If she took the initiative to confess to me, I can't even imagine how happy the next stretch of days would be."

A stretch of days?

David Lee, your phrasing is pretty scummy.

Su Yan understood what David Lee meant but couldn't be bothered to respond.

As a Dragon Country native, he had his own moral bottom line—a principle carved into his bones since childhood.

On the way to the locker room.

David Lee pressed curiously: "What were the little girl's lips like? Her body—must've been really soft, right?"

Pathetic.

Su Yan knew David Lee was a rich second-generation, never short on cash, not bad-looking himself, and his off-court life was bound to be colorful.

Besides.

He was American, so a little chaos in private life was normal.

Superstars like LeBron and Curry, who love only one person their whole lives, were rare as phoenix feathers.

Still.

Su Yan didn't plan to chat about it—otherwise... talking on and on might get past the censors.

"Nice weather today~"

Su Yan forcibly switched topics.

Mm~ it was pretty soft.

Soon.

The two arrived at the locker room.

"Su Yan's here!"

"Morning, Yan!"

"Yan, had breakfast yet? There's some leftover breakfast here—want to grab a bite?"

When Su Yan arrived.

Everyone was basically already there, all greeting him warmly, even more so than David Lee.

And David Lee was supposed to be the Knicks' core this season.

Yet all last night, before he even got on the court, he'd sat alone the whole time, with no one paying him any attention.

Larry Hughes spotted the roses in Su Yan's hand and teased: "Yan, you planning to confess to someone?

Spill it.

If I know her, I'll definitely help set you up."

"Don't tell me you got rejected?"

Gallinari joked.

"Get out, get out!"

Chris Duhon waved his hand. "With Su Yan's looks, if he made the first move, no woman could resist him."

Everyone was speculating.

Larry Hughes' gossipy side flared up. He turned to David Lee, who had come over with him. "What's going on, David Lee?"

"Haha!"

David Lee shook his head with a laugh. "Rejected a confession? No way. Su Yan turned down a little girl with stunning beauty. Those roses were from her."

"How old?"

David Lee answered, "Fifteen."

"How pretty?"

"Probably way prettier than a lot of actresses."

"Holy shit!"

Marty was stunned. "Why, though? How could you say no?!"

Larry Hughes barely held back a curse. "A lamb walks right into your arms, and you push her away. Su Yan, you're a real beast."

???

I'm the beast?

Guys, do you even hear yourselves? She's a minor. You wouldn't let that go?

You're the real beasts!!!
