Don't Gossip Before the Competition

Xia Mengyin took off the hair tie and her hair draped over her shoulders. This was the first time Lu Ang saw her with her hair down. He thought that Xia Mengyin was adorable in this way too.

Xia Mengyin stuffed the hair tie into his hands. "Here, use it. If you don't play properly today, you'll really let me down."

Lu Ang thought for a moment and stuffed the hair tie into her hand. "Thank you, but I don't know how to tie my hair. Help me."

Xia Mengyin thought, Did I get into a dispute with his hair or what? Why am I helping him with his hair again?

However, she saw the sincerity in his eyes.

Sigh, forget it. It's all for the sake of this team player.

Xia Mengyin placed her hand above Lu Ang and pressed her hand down. "Lower your head. You're too tall. I can't reach you."

Lu Ang reacted. "Oh, right, right." He slid down a little in his seat.

Xia Mengyin started to tie his hair. "If I hurt you, tell me."

Lu Ang said, "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all."

…

"Hmm… Why does it feel so strange?"

"Sorry, I'll start from scratch."

…

A long time passed.

Xia Mengyin pulled the hair tie off his head and tied it up again and again. She wanted to make it perfect, but it always felt weird.

In the end, it was finally done.

Zhang Yu and Chang Yu laughed out loud. "This is too funny, really."

Xia Mengyin was dumbfounded. She tied up Lu Ang's hair and combed it behind his head. She looked at him and said, "Yes, this should be enough."

Lu Ang said with a serious face, "Thank you, Yin-… Mengyin."

Zhang Yu reminded Chang Yu to read the news, and she sent him a message. "See, I told you that the two of them are very compatible. Let me tell you, I'm very good at reading relationships.

Chang Yu said, "I do feel that way, but I don't think I'm very sure."

Zhang Yu replied, "I know that I'm right. Hmph."

Chang Yu teased. "Fine, fine, silly girl."

Zhang Yu said, "You're the silly one."

He agreed verbally, but Chang Yu was still not sure. Besides, his girlfriend was really silly. Lu Ang was clearly her idol. He was right in front of her now and yet she didn't know. She was still thinking about how to matchmake her roommate and him. What was this called… lighting a fire on her own roof? However, he thought about it again. This was good too. At least he was able to secure the "safety" of his position in her heart.

As soon as the bus from Anxi City Sports University drove into Hangyu University, the parking lot seemed very narrow. It looked like an old university.

Xia Mengyin said to Zhang Yu at the back, "Let's go down first. You can use your camera to record them getting off the bus, and I'll take photos of them with my DSLR."

Lu Ang could not help but look at Xia Mengyin with her hair down. He then looked at the sunlight outside. She seemed to be missing something on her head.

Lu Ang remembered. It was the sun hat.

Hence, he asked, "Mengyin, didn't you bring a hat?"

Xia Mengyin was stunned. "Oh, right, I… forgot to bring it."

He took out a hat from one of his pockets and placed it on her head. "I'll let you wear this."

Xia Mengyin was confused. "How can I do that? I'll dirty your hat after sweating a lot today."

Lu Ang waved his hand. "It's okay. Actually, this is a new hat. I'll give it to you."

Xia Mengyin was shocked. "Really?"

She took off her hat and observed. "It's really new, and it's pink."

It was a baseball cap, a popular brand in recent years. Many players would wear it.

Lu Ang said, "It's fine. I have two. Besides, I can't wear it for soccer. Isn't it pink? So it's better for girls to wear it."

Speaking of which, ever since that day when Xia Mengyin rode her bicycle, Lu Ang felt that she was very suitable to wear this hat. However, he didn't know how to give it to her, so he kept it in his bag. It was a pair of hats from an endorsement sponsor, one pink and one blue. He felt that Xia Mengyin would look good in pink.

Today was an opportunity.

Speaking of which, Lu Ang was still worried. The brand was about to release a new hat and would require new shoots for posters. He heard from Wei Xinheng that the sponsors were a little unhappy that he hadn't appeared for so long. Indeed, he hadn't explained much to them. Sigh, it seemed like he had to pay attention to these things in the future.

The bus stopped and everyone stood up from their seats.

Xia Mengyin put her hat back on. But she didn't really like to accept things from others, so she said, "How can I accept something like this?"

Lu Ang looked at her as she raised her head and spoke to him in such a serious manner. Thus, he said, "Then, give me this hair tie. That way, everything is balanced."

"Pfft, no problem. I have a lot of them, but won't you be at a disadvantage?" Xia Mengyin replied.

This hat was worth at least a hundred yuan, and the hair tie was only worth a few cents. Xia Mengyin felt that he was at a disadvantage for such an unfair deal.

Lu Ang said, "I'm not. It's such a cute hair tie. I have to thank you for helping me tie my hair. Also, since they are gifts, let's ignore their values."

This sentence made Xia Mengyin feel rather embarrassed.

Cute? Isn't this just a normal hair tie? It's just that it has some blue threads on it.

As for the hair she had tied up, Zhang Yu and Chang Yu were laughing behind her. Was it really okay?

Zhang Yu said to Chang Yu, "Let me out first. Didn't Yinyin tell us to go down first?"

Xia Mengyin said, "Wait for Zhang Yu and I to go down first. You guys can go down after the equipment is set up."

Chang Yu casually agreed and walked to the front to stand with Lu Ang. "Brother, you really like her, don't you?"

Lu Ang only moved his lips and did not say anything. Then, he looked at Xia Mengyin who got out of the bus. She was bright, energetic, and loved soccer. Lu Ang felt that the world was beautiful.

The team members had already alighted one after another, leaving only Lu Ang and Chang Yu.

Chang Yu said, "This kind of girl is very scary when she's serious, and she's especially immature. Your taste is really a little bad, isn't it? Why do you like this kind of girl? You have so many pretty fans. In the past, I thought you didn't lack girls. Well, forget it. Anyway, you're not mature, so it seems quite interesting. Sigh, what a weirdo, Brother."

Lu Ang lowered his head and rolled his eyes at Chang Yu. "What nonsense are you spouting? The competition will start soon, and you're still here gossiping? You think you can go to Old Trafford with this attitude?"

Chang Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Sure, sure. He had learned to roll his eyes.

Also, Lu Ang had never been so serious before. It was hard not to be suspicious.

Xia Mengyin was already urging them from below. "What's wrong with you two? Come down already."
