The School Prince Has Been Stirred (10)

Jiang Ran, player #7, stood at the side of the basketball field. His breathing was ragged.

His eyes swept through the audience slowly. Among the sea of shrieking girls, his eyes unintentionally landed on the quiet Su Yan.

There was a multitude of people, and yet, he spotted her with one glance.

A figment of emotion streaked past his eyes and he licked the corner of his lips.

At first, he wasn't thirsty.

But when he saw her, he felt… thirsty.

A member of the opposing team dribbled the ball directly in front of Jiang Ran.

But Jiang Ran didn't react at all.

In one swoop, the opposing team scored a goal.

Cheng Xingyang ran over and gave Jiang Ran a tap on the arm.

"What's on your mind? You gave the opposing team a chance to score!"

Jiang Ran snapped out of his stupor and ran over to intercept the ball.

After 10 minutes:

Cheng Xingyang stood at the center of the court.

He stared at Jiang Ran who had made five consecutive mistakes.

He expressed his disapproval with a 'tsk'.

And this teammate of his who had successfully flouted the rules for the sixth time merely threw a temper instead of reflecting on his mistakes.

His entire face was overflowing with impatience and an evil aura.

Jiang Ran's reaction this time was identical to when he fought.

Anyone who f**king ran over at this time was sure to die without leaving a corpse.

Cheng Xingyang had originally planned to tease him a little, but when he noticed Jiang Ran's jittery behavior, he paused and retreated a step back.

Jiang Ran tried his utmost to curb the restlessness in his heart. But his eyes would wander back to that spot in the crowd uncontrollably.

In the end, he could no longer hold back.

With a bang, he tossed the basketball onto the ground.

And walked straight toward the audience.

The moment he approached them, the multitude of girls started hollering. They almost brought the roof down with their shrills.

People tussled and squeezed their way to the front, to the extent that Su Yan was pushed all the way back by their frantic movements. Just when she was about to be drowned in the sea of people,

A burning hot hand bypassed the crowd and grabbed her own hand, before giving it a strong tug, pulling her right before him.

Because of his abrupt actions, all the girls were stumped.

These girls weren't the only ones that quietened down. Even his teammates on the court were no longer able to carry on the game as their eyes stared in his direction.

Su Yan blinked. Before she could even say a word, she heard someone's rude and unreasonable voice.

"Are you incapable of smiling in front of me?!"

Su Yan

"…"

Jiang Ran's complexion was rather unsightly. But once he said those words, he felt a little remorseful the moment he saw her docile and mellow appearance.

He corrected his tone at once.

Even though it was no longer as crude as before, it still didn't sound any gentler.

"Show me a smile!"

An irrefutable order came out of his mouth.

After which, Su Yan obediently displayed a smile on her face.

After he saw her smile, the restlessness in Jiang Ran's heart seemed to have finally settled down.

After inspecting her figure, he focused his attention on her arm.

That wound had formed a scab. It wasn't serious, to begin with, and was likely to heal in the next two days.

He glanced at the black bow tied around her collar.

Stretching out his hand, he played with her bow.

"Where's my tie?"

Su Yan licked the corner of her lips before responding in a soft voice

"In my bag."

"Has it been washed?"

"Mm"

When he heard her docile words, the vileness in his heart was inexplicably perturbed.

Extending a hand, he tugged at her bow twice bafflingly.

"Since it's been washed, why didn't you pass it back? Why do you want to keep it?"

His voice had gradually calmed down, restoring its original indolence.

Because he had just finished working out, his languid overtone was strangely seductive.

He closed in the gap between them and asked ambiguously, "Hoarding it?"

He lowered his voice as he said this. And because Su Yan was especially close to him, the other girls around them didn't hear his words.
