Chapter 4 - Basketball club.

"Eh. What club do you want to join? I also want to join with you."

Ah Fei asked while looking at Lulu in every direction like a newly hatched duckling. Lulu didn't respond at all, he was still busy looking for the club that Mu Zhe represented. He had never missed following Mu Zhe's every step, and he certainly wouldn't let him miss this time either.

"Be careful!"

A voice suddenly shouted. Before Lulu and Ah Fei could even turn around, a ball had already landed right on Ah Fei's head. The atmosphere became chaotic for a moment.

"Are you okay?"

He asked softly while helping Ah Fei who was already stranded on the floor.

Lulu glanced sharply at the senior's face he had just seen that day. Gathering all the anger in his eyes and ready to unleash the fire of his anger. However, his gaze quickly shifted when his eyes caught Mu Zhe's face. "So... this is his club." Lulu's lips slowly carved a satisfied smile. He bit his lips to hide the smile.

"I'm okay."

Ah Fei replied while grinning. Blood was already dripping from his nose and making his seniors increasingly worried.

"Okay you said!? Come with me to the infirmary."

The senior's voice was worried as he wrapped his arms around Ah Fei's body.

"Mu Zhe, help me take a look around here while I take him to the infirmary."

He said as he walked away. Mu Zhe nodded.

"You're not following them?"

Mu Zhe asked. Lulu gave Mu Zhe his side eyes. Silenced and arranged his steps to go to the registration desk. Really leaving Mu Zhe in dazed alone. To think about what was wrong at that moment. "He just okay yesterday. But...?"

"Yo. Do you want to join this club?"

Jiang Hai asked. Lulu nodded without saying much. He think it was better to be quick and good.

"Okay. Fill out this form first."

Jiang Hai handed a blank form to Lulu to fill out.

After registering, Lulu asked permission to leave. His mission was complete. Now he could think about Ah Fei calmly.

While taking a step, Lulu managed to glance from the corner of his eye at Mu Zhe's face and made Mu Zhe's smile die right away. It felt like he was now in the attention of an Alpha wolf waiting for him to make a single mistake. It felt like his life was truly in Lulu's clutches. Make a mistake or not, the consequences were the same. He really felt unsafe. He wonder what grudge Lulu had against him, Mu Zhe couldn't predict it at all.

Mu Zhe swallowed his saliva and stood up beside Jiang Hai. Trying to act as calmly as possible. To him, it was probably just his own hunch. As far as he could remember, he had never done anything wrong to Lulu for Lulu to hate him so much.

Mu Zhe took Lulu's registration form.

Name : Song Lu Ya.

Age : 15 years

Class : One B

D. O. B : 29 Jan xxxx

Guardian : Song Li Da (Mother)

Phone Number : 0x0- 123x 567x

"So he doesn't live with his father. But that's no reason for him to act like that with me. What's wrong with this kid?" Mu Zhe thought to himself.

"Are you interested in him?"

Jiang Hai asked as soon as he saw Mu Zhe so focused on staring at Lulu's registration form. His lips began to carve a naughty smile. A smile that made Mu Zhe uncomfortable to sit.

"No. Just want to look."

Mu Zhe replied as he put the form back on the table. His face looked calm, but his ears were already red.

***

As soon as Lulu walked out the door, his lips melted into a smile from ear to ear. His heart was satisfied. Mu Zhe was now within reach and only needed a few more steps, he would be in his grasp. Like a wooden doll with strings on each of his fingers. A wooden doll that would only move on his command. A doll that belonged only to him.

Arriving at the infirmary door, Ah Fei was already sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at him with a dissatisfied look. His lips were pouting. But Lulu didn't care about all that. His eyes were only focused on Ah Fei's nose that was stuffed with tissue. His laughter was neatly covered so that it wouldn't burst out and increase Ah Fei's anger.

Lulu's eyes began to wander around looking for the senior who took Ah Fei to the infirmary earlier. He needs to thank him for the help earlier.

"No need to look around, he already leave."

Ah Fei's said. There was a sullen tone in the voice. He stood up quickly, reached for his jacket and walked away.

"You can go back by yourself...but..."

Before Lulu could finish his words, Ah Fei had already given him a deadly glare. Lulu quickly carved a sweet smile. He walked over to Ah Fei and hugged him tightly.

"Okay. Okay....you waited for me. Okay... I was wrong.. forgive me. Okay? Let's go back together my dear friend."

Lulu's persuasion didn't sound like persuasion to Ah Fei's ears. However, he could only give Lulu a death glare. He was completely helpless to fight Lulu at that moment. His vision was still blurry and his ears were still buzzing.

"Before we go back, let's we have a dinner. It's on me."

Lulu's persuasion was repeated after seeing Ah Fei just stay silent. Ah Fei quickly turned around. His face brightened again.

"Are you really pay for me?"

Ah Fei asked for confirmation. Lulu nodded quickly.

"Okay."

Ah Fei's voice as cheerful as usual.

Arriving at the destination, Ah Fei gave Lulu a death glare again. It turned out that Lulu was taking him to the Chen's family restaurant where Lulu worked.

"You don't need to make that kind of face. I have to work."

Lulu said as he gently patted Ah Fei's face.

"I thought you wanted to eat with me... but..."

Ah Fei grumbled while pouting his lips. He sat down at the table where Lulu usually sat and studied.

"Sorry about that. No need to grumble. What do you want to eat?"

Lulu asked as he arranged his bag and jacket on the table.

"Ermmm..I want noodles."

Ah Fei finally answered after Lulu didn't respond to his plea. His new friend's heart was as hard as a rock. His words were always rude. His behavior was difficult to interpret. However, he felt comfortable being friends with Lulu who he felt was honest and didn't have much drama.

"Okay."

Lulu walked to the kitchen.

"Urghhhh....my head really feels like it's going to burst...."

Ah Fei grumbled as he rested his head on the backpack placed on the table. His eyes were closed tightly. The medicine from the doctor had lost its effect.

"I'm not going to join the basketball club. I hate the ball that makes me like this..." Ah Fei kept grumbling in his heart.
