Chapter 77 - Living Life To The Fullest (1)
Su Xiaofei yawned and rubbed her eyes sleepily. Because she had to do some late night reading, she had slept too late. She ended up feeling restless and sleepy when she woke up. It also didn't help that she kept thinking about Lu Qingfeng these days.
"Feifei, didn't you say today is Lu Qingfeng's game? Aren't you going to watch him play?" Xi Qian asked, wondering why her best friend hadn't moved from her seat yet, given that their class had ended fifteen minutes ago.
Su Xiaofei's eyes shot open upon hearing it. She jolted from her seat and started tidying up her desk at once.
"Yikes! I totally forgot! Xiao Feng will kill me if I don't show up at his game. Hurry, Qian, I will never hear the end of it if he knew I was late."
Xi Qian giggled at her reaction and shook her head. There were times that Su Xiaofei forgot important things such as this.
Lu Qingfeng was the captain of the basketball team at the middle school division. While he was proficient in playing chess, he once told Su Xiaofei that it wasn't enough for him. According to him, playing basketball with his peers would not only train his brain to formulate ways to beat his opponents, he would also be able to keep his body in shape, hitting two birds with one stone.
Su Xiaofei dragged Xi Qian with her, as they rushed to the court where Lu Qingfeng was scheduled to play with his team against the visiting team today.
When the two reached their destination, both women were panting for breath. Su Xiaofei couldn't believe that her stamina was this low at the age of eighteen. This was far from her early twenties body that was accustomed to workouts and diets to keep her body in shape while auditioning for several roles at the same time.
Unlike other women who can eat anything they liked and remain slim, Su Xiaofei had trouble keeping her ideal weight. For her to be able to keep up in the competition with Ye Mingyu, she strived to perfect her figure and skipped meals, which only harmed her own body later on.
"You are late." Lu Qingfeng appeared in front of them, giving Su Xiaofei a displeased look.
"But we arrived before your game started, right?" Su Xiaofei grinned at him. "Come on, Xiao Feng. You don't have to be this grumpy, or your fan girls might think I am bullying you before your game. I wouldn't want to be accused as the reason you lose today."
Lu Qingfeng only scowled at her, but didn't say more.
"Go now," Su Xiaofei waved him away. "Qian and I will be watching, so you better do your best and not lose."
"As if I would lose against those people." Lu Qingfeng harrumphed, but went on his way anyway.
"He's really extra grumpy today. What's with him?" Xi Qian asked once she and Su Xiaofei found a good spot where they could watch the game.
Su Xiaofei shrugged. She had to admit that it was hard, even for her, to understand Lu Qingfeng these days. He was unpredictable, always catching her off guard at times she least expected.
"Who knows. It might be because he woke up on the wrong side of the bed today." She said before opening a pack of potato chips she and Xi Qian would share while watching.
There were so many students who came to see the game, and unsurprisingly many of them were young women who would cheer for their school's varsity team in this friendly match with another school.
As for Su Xiaofei, others weren't surprised to see her there with Xi Qian, as everyone was already accustomed to her being acquainted with Lu Qingfeng from the middle school division. Her presence only made other students turn their heads to look at her, because despite the unfriendly aura around her, Su Xiaofei's face was still good to look at.
The game between the middle school teams was the first one to commence before the high school game. Still, the students' anticipation was quite high, especially for the girls who were rooting for the guys they admire to win.
From the other side of the court, Su Xiaofei spotted Feng Xue'er alone, cheering for her fiancé, Cai Lin. Su Xiaofei smirked inwardly as she thought how Feng Xue'er, even as she claimed that Ye Mingyu was her friend, wasn't willing to let her friend meet her fiancé.
In her previous life, Su Xiaofei had wondered why Ye Mingyu only met Cai Lin after the founding ball, but now she knew. It was obviously because Feng Xue'er was a jealous person in nature and wasn't willing to introduce a woman that could steal her man from her, especially one as beautiful and seductive as Ye Mingyu.
It was for this reason that Su Xiaofei wanted to push Ye Mingyu towards Cai Lin behind Feng Xue'er's back. The more Feng Xue'er tried to keep Ye Mingyu out of Cai Lin's sight, the worse the betrayal she would feel later.
The two individuals who protected and paved the way for Ye Mingyu's future. She would destroy them altogether, by making them go against each other.
"Fans could really go crazy like this, huh." Xi Qian scoffed, twisting the cap of her lemon juice, taking a sip from it. If not for Su Xiaofei, she would rather take a nap happily somewhere than be here watching the little tyrant's game.
"You can't blame them. It's not everyday they could watch the varsity teams of our school play like this." Su Xiaofei chuckled at the fangirls' enthusiasm.
As soon as she said this, the team that was being led by Lu Qingfeng as their captain arrived on the court, followed by a loud cheering from the audience.
"Someone is so popular.." Su Xiaofei chuckled when many young women cheered Lu Qingfeng's name when he appeared with his team, but he only glanced on her way, as if to make sure that she was there.
