Zhou Fu's unauthorized decision amused He Sijiao, who also chimed in, "Can we bring a little girlfriend?"

"..."

Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment, looking at the two girls who had spoken, and asked, puzzled, "Your little girlfriend... is it the same person?"

"He's laughing." Zhou Yu found it amusing.

These two girls had great comedic timing.

"What the hell, you clearly know, you're just pretending!" He Sijiao said dismissively to Zhang Chao.

"You should be talking about Chen Yuan and his..." Zhang Chao stopped halfway when he saw Lao Mo coming over, and quickly shut his mouth.

"Yeah, Chen Yuan's little girlfriend, the one from Fourth High..."

"Cough, cough." Zhang Chao reminded her.

"What's wrong with you?" He Sijiao asked, puzzled.

"Cough, cough." Zhang Chao continued to remind her.

"If you have the flu, get a shot and stop coughing. Besides, don't you know who we're talking about..."

He Sijiao hadn't finished speaking when she saw Lao Mo brush past them. She was immediately startled and, after he had walked away, lowered her voice to ask, "Wait, why didn't you tell me Lao Mo was coming!"

"Chaozi's tonsils are about to get inflamed from coughing."

Zhou Yu said weakly.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Although He Sijiao was usually quite wild, Eleventh High was really strict about romance, so she apologized to Chen Yuan, "I really didn't notice him, I didn't mean to get you in trouble..."

"It's okay, when you start dating, I'll do the same to you and we'll be even," Chen Yuan said generously.

"An eye for an eye, huh!" He Sijiao had already apologized, but he was still relentless, so she retracted her apology.

"No rebuttal about the dating thing, huh..."

Zhou Fu was again shipping the Jiaosheng Xiyu (娇声细语) pairing; so sweet.

"So, is it confirmed?" Zhang Chao continued to ask.

The number of people at the gathering determined the venue and total cost, so it needed to be decided in advance. Moreover, for high school students, there was basically no issue of people not showing up or a large discrepancy between the number expected and the number who actually came.

Unlike the miserable adults, students had no reason to bail out, except for acute appendicitis.

"Not sure yet... just count me for now, I'll let you know as soon as possible," Chen Yuan said.

Southeastern men were all about face, and generally meant what they said, but sometimes, they also needed their personal space.

If Xia Xinyu agreed, that meant he was bringing Si Zongye (四宗爷) to let these Eleventh High kids see the world.

If Xia Xinyu refused, it meant he suddenly wanted to have a drink, and women were too much trouble, and even if she wanted to come, he wouldn't let her.

That was the Southeastern man, never fighting an uphill battle.

"Okay." Zhang Chao nodded, then continued to confirm with Zhou Yu, "Bringing a girlfriend?"

"Why are you assuming everyone has a girlfriend..." Zhou Yu was speechless.

"Bringing a boyfriend?" Zhang Chao asked He Sijiao.

Frowning, and looking at the obviously strange Zhang Chao, she became wary. "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, Tang Jian just taught me a method."

Zhang Chao shook his head, then turned to Zhou Fu, asking very fairly, "Bringing a boyfriend?"

Zhou Fu spread her hands, shook her head, and said with a smile, "No boyfriend here."

"Okay, got it." Zhang Chao nodded, then turned around.

"Wait, what did Tang Jian just teach you? Zhang Chao, stop..."

He Sijiao panicked and quickly called out to Zhang Chao. But the class monitor didn't give her any face and went straight to the group of boys, chattering away.

It was clearly related to the questions he had just asked.

Could it be that there was something wrong with my answer?

"It's probably a guy thing... but I don't think it's anything lewd this time," Zhou Fu said.

"I'll go investigate,"

Chen Yuan was also quite interested. He gave an okay sign, then went over, squeezing into their circle, and put his hands on Tang Jian and Zhang Chao's shoulders.

Seeing Chen Yuan come over, they were quite calm.

Then, Chen Yuan heard this group of people chatting about gossip with great joy.

"What's the word?" Tang Jian asked.

Zhang Chao answered truthfully, "According to what you said, I asked if they were bringing partners. Zhou Fu answered that she didn't have a boyfriend, and Chen Yuan was a bit stubborn, but still tacitly agreed..."

"What stubborn? I said yes, didn't I?" Chen Yuan protested.

"Don't interrupt."

Tang Jian glanced at Chen Yuan, telling him not to mess around. Then, he returned to the main topic and continued to analyze, "Logically speaking, those who have someone at this time will generally admit it or tacitly agree, like Chen Yuan. Those who don't have someone, like Zhou Fu, will say it directly, since it's nothing to be ashamed of. As for those who avoid the topic or joke around, they're probably in the ambiguous stage... By the way, what did Zhou Yu and He Sijiao say?"

"Let me think..." Zhang Chao began to recall, but couldn't remember clearly.

Then, Chen Yuan added very enthusiastically, "Zhou Yu was dodging around, and He Sijiao had an overreaction and got paranoid, asking Brother Chao what he was up to."

"Hiss... that's very obvious."

Tang Jian now recalled that Zhou Yu's gesture was indeed problematic; he wasn't looking at the older guys in Class 18 at all. So, he smiled wickedly. "Just as I thought, there's definitely something going on with those two."

"Laughing, no wonder Yuzi was showing off today, so that's why." Zhu Zihao remembered the almost buzzer-beater three-pointer and suddenly understood something.

His wife was watching, so the bro just stopped passing the ball and went for a hero shot, huh?

Damn, so sweet, you dog.

"Wow, now that you mention it, I realize it's true," Chen Yuan said, feigning sudden realization, then joined in the laughter. "Then, do you have any plans for them at the karaoke?"

"Of course, that's a must."

Tang Jian spoke with a "duh" tone.

"How so?" Chen Yuan asked.

Zhang Chao explained truthfully, "We originally wanted to target you and your girlfriend, and have you two sing love songs, but you suddenly butted in..."

"Target Zhou Yu, I'm already an old married couple, there's no comedic effect," Chen Yuan said.

"Okay, but don't reveal it in advance," Tang Jian reminded him.

"Won't."

"Just imagining that scene, I can't help but laugh. Sister Jiao, your day has finally come..." Zhu Zihao only had a stereotypical view of He Sijiao.

So, if there were discoveries beyond that stereotype, it would be too interesting.

"What's even more surprising to me is Yuzi," Chen Yuan said with a sigh of knowing a person's face but not their heart, "He was hiding it so well, I was right next to him, and didn't notice at all..."

"Actually, after Zhou Yu fought for He Sijiao that day, I felt... something," Zhang Chao said.

"All I can say is, a basketball game exposed some people," Chen Yuan nodded.

As everyone chatted very happily, and their smiles gradually turned lascivious, Liu Yan, who had finally understood, suddenly said in realization, "You mean, Zhou Yu and He Sijiao each have someone they're interested in?"

"..."

The four of them looked at him together, pursed their lips, and then pushed him out of the circle meeting.

Then, the four of them began to excitedly discuss the reality show after school on Friday: "I Want to Sing with You."

............

"What a ridiculous bunch of guys, they're like gossipy old women from the village," He Sijiao couldn't help but complain, watching Chen Yuan investigate, then simply blend in.

"Maybe guys have secrets too," Zhou Fu was quite understanding and teased, "Maybe they're talking about girls."

"Shrimp head." After He Sijiao finished her assessment, she asked Zhou Fu, "Besides Chen Yuan, don't you have any other guys you like?"

"...Be careful what you say, Jiaojiao." Zhou Fu was scared by her shocking statement and quickly reminded her.

What do you mean besides Chen Yuan, don't I have any other guys I like...

Is my liking Chen Yuan already an established fact?

"I don't know, but I feel like you should have many, many guys pursuing you. Among so many people, there isn't even one you like?" He Sijiao felt that a high school life with a beautiful girl and big boobs couldn't possibly not be exciting, but this Zhou Fu seemed to have no such inclination at all.

"I've already seen through the mortal coil," Zhou Fu shook her head, saying it quite casually.

"Been hurt before?" He Sijiao asked.

"No, I saw through it directly, skipping the part of suffering from love," Zhou Fu said self-deprecatingly.

"Ah..."

Zhou Fu was like a saint, without even the slightest thought of romance, her level was so high that He Sijiao couldn't help but look up to her.

She had thought that she would naturally get together with Chen Yuan, but the result was that the two of them had never sparked any flames.

"Aren't you guys talking about guys too..."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but remind them.

He Sijiao called them shrimp heads, but was doing the same thing, how hypocritical.

"Ah, I forgot, you're still here." Only then did He Sijiao react.

"...Alright, alright, I'm leaving."

Zhou Yu sighed and turned to leave. But at this moment, He Sijiao suddenly called out to him, "Wait a minute."

After he turned his head, the girl looked at him, handed over a bottle of mineral water, her cheeks slightly flushed, but because she wanted to appear nonchalant, she even deliberately made eye contact with him to prove her innocence, as if to say, "I'm just giving you water, I'm completely innocent."

"Bye, I'm going to the restroom."

At this time, Zhou Fu suddenly excused herself and left, with a smile on her face.

And her departure greatly weakened He Sijiao's legitimacy, and her cheeks flushed even more. "Take it, take it already."

Wait, what is Zhou Fu doing on her own?

Going to the restroom without me...aren't you afraid of me isolating you!

"Thank you, Jiaojiao."

"Eh?"

Just as He Sijiao was still fidgeting about Zhou Fu's unnecessary action, Zhou Yu picked up his own water, twisted it open, and directly raised it to drink.

He had just said thank you...

Jiaojiao.

Having never been called by that name by a boy, He Sijiao was like a small firecracker that had been lit, and smoke was almost coming out of her head in embarrassment, about to explode at any moment.

And this Zhou Yu was still drinking water.

With his head raised, gulping, gulping.

Was he that thirsty?

Well, he had only been substituted twice today, and had probably played for almost forty minutes, so it was normal to consume a lot of water.

Or was it...

Was he also embarrassed and didn't dare to look at me?

Go, He Sijiao, go quickly, don't stand in front of me!

Just hand over the water and run away shyly like any other girl, don't stand here.

Did he want to see my reaction?

What the hell can I react, I'm about to finish this Cestbon.

Wait, is this Cestbon? It feels like Nongfu Spring.

It actually has a bit of an aftertaste...

"Don't choke."

When Zhou Yu had already drunk half of it, He Sijiao reminded him softly.

Then Zhou Yu put down the water, wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and looked at the girl who hadn't moved an inch and whose face was even redder than his, somewhat at a loss.

Could it be that because I called her Jiaojiao, she was going to beat me up?

Damn it, bring it on then.

Beat me to death right here, if I utter a sound, my deskmate will drop dead on the spot.

Just as Zhou Yu had already planned to generously go to his death, He Sijiao slowly raised her head, stared into his eyes, and ordered in a low voice, but with no less momentum, "If you take my water, you can't take anyone else's."

"...Mm." Zhou Yu nodded mechanically.

"If you take someone else's, you're dead."

After saying this through gritted teeth, He Sijiao ran away.

Leaving Zhou Yu in place, not recovering for a long time.

A feeling he had never experienced before.

He didn't know how to say it.

Having heard He Sijiao's harsh words so many times, he knew that they were all jokes. He Sijiao was a very good person, quite righteous, and wouldn't be violent for no reason. But at this moment, holding the bottle of mineral water in his hand, he really felt a special kind of 'ruthlessness.'

An oncoming bullet, right between the eyebrows.

Then, his brain was beaten into a pulp.

"Hi, are you Zhou Yu... I think you play basketball really well, can we be friends?"

At this time, a cute girl suddenly ran up to Zhou Yu, holding a bottle of sports drink, pulling him back from the abyss of chaos.

Slowly lowering his head, looking at the other person's water, Zhou Yu seemed to feel a blood-red 'death' hanging over his head, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "N-no, I...I..."

"He's gay."

"Ah?"

The girl was stunned and looked back at Chen Yuan.

"...Yup."

Zhou Yu wanted to die, because in order to refuse, he had admitted to this rumor.

"Ah?" The girl looked back at Zhou Yu again, then was dumbfounded on the spot, and quickly fled the scene.

How can guys who play basketball be gay... the last guy I confessed to who played badminton was also gay, what kind of luck do I have!

"Wait, do you know what your mouth is saying!" Zhou Yu immediately questioned Chen Yuan, blushing.

"You really dared to hesitate?" Chen Yuan glanced behind him and said, "Sister Jiao was peeking from that spot just now, and you didn't reject her directly, you're really brave."

"Ah?" Zhou Yu asked in shock, "R-really?"

Fake.

Sister Jiao had already left.

I was just teasing you.

"What do you think?" Chen Yuan looked at him with undisguised contempt.

"Thank you, bro, you really saved me, bro!" Zhou Yu put his hands together in a gesture of thanks, sincerely thanking Chen Yuan, almost crying like Tom.

"We're brothers, no need for that," Chen Yuan was also generous, not holding a grudge about his disrespect earlier.

Then, putting on the posture of a close friend, he asked in a natural tone, "So, now that things have gotten to this point, when are you planning to confess?"

"You..." Although Zhou Yu was very grateful to Chen Yuan, after all, the other party had a long history of being a scumbag. So, he looked at the hand in the other party's pocket with some wariness and asked, "No recording, right?"

"No, you think I'm risking being beaten to a pulp by Sister Jiao to remind you, just to trick you into talking. What kind of person do you take me for? My god." Chen Yuan was heartbroken, especially heartbroken.

He took his hand off the phone screen from his pocket, not even in the mood to record.

If there's no trust between brothers, it's better to break up.

"Bro, don't be angry, don't be angry, you've been such a jerk so many times before, I'm just worried you're messing with me," Zhou Yu patted him on the shoulder, explaining with a smile.

"So, do you have any plans?" Chen Yuan asked.

This...

If he didn't bring it up, Zhou Yu might not have had this kind of plan.

But He Sijiao had made it very clear, I can only take her water.

Dare to touch someone else's water, and you're dead.

It might really be 'dead' in the literal sense...

And that was no different from confessing.

So, looking at Chen Yuan, and questioning his own heart, Zhou Yu said, "If I tell her directly and she doesn't reject... then it'll work, right?"

"When are you going to do it?"

"When you're not around."

"...Why?" Chen Yuan asked, puzzled.

"Don't want you to get in the way."

Zhou Yu said as a matter of course.

"Wait, isn't that a hurtful way to talk?" Chen Yuan began to feel sad again.

But Zhou Yu said with considerable planning, "If I confess, I want to choose a good night, just the two of us alone, when we don't have to go to school the next day, confess hard."

"I can hide in the bushes..."

"Get lost, get lost with Hu Tu Tu (cartoon character who always messes things up)."

Zhou Yu knew that Chen Yuan, and the other basketball bros, might have a positive effect.

But He Sijiao was someone who seemed to have high attack and high defense, but was actually a weakling.

Confessing had to be done privately between two people.

And that way, even if the other person rejected him, he wouldn't be too embarrassed.

But since she said those words... she shouldn't reject me, right?

Chen Yuan could tell that they were also pure love.

And more introverted than he had imagined.

So, he wouldn't be annoying and disturb them.

But why was their progress so fast, I was the first...

Referring to: revealing mutual affection with Xinyu.

"If you succeed in confessing... will you kiss?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

"Of course, don't you kiss?"

"...I kiss, I definitely kiss."

I can't kiss.

"Then, then..." Chen Yuan lowered his voice and continued to ask, "Then, do lewd things?"

Zhou Yu was stunned by what he said, covered his mouth, and whispered, "I don't know. But, I want to."

"You want to?" Chen Yuan asked in surprise.

"Don't you want to?" Zhou Yu asked back.

"I want to, I definitely want to... I'm not a eunuch," Chen Yuan answered quite seriously.

Still dare to think about that?

I haven't even hugged her properly!

So, why can Zhou Yu confess directly, and kiss, and even if he wants to be horny, if the other person agrees, he can even be horny...

Chen Yuan fell into a daze.

"Let's go back to class, it's almost time for class," Zhou Yu reminded him.

"Let's go."

Chen Yuan stood beside him, clearly taller, more handsome, and stronger, but completely lacked the aura of a protagonist.

Wait, is this chapter a Yuzi single chapter?

But I have to say, I saw a page of youth from Yuzi and Jiaozi (nicknames).

At the same time, some impulses gradually arose in his heart.

I also want to establish a relationship with her...

(End of this chapter)
