The first day of basketball practice, Lulu looked excited and his face looked so confident. However, in his confident face, not a single ball ever reached his hands. If the ball went to the left, he would run to the right. He really failed to read which direction the ball would go.
Meanwhile, Ah Fei just hid behind Lulu. Trying his best to avoid the ball from hitting his body. Pulling Lulu's body close to him to be a shield as soon as the ball reached him. If Lulu was far away from him, he would run towards Lulu and quickly take refuge behind Lulu's body.
Zhang Yiran let out a heavy sigh as he glanced at Mu Zhe and Jiang Hai. Asking for the opinions from his two friends regarding the matter that was making his head spinning.
"Ah Fei, Lulu. You two come here."
Zhang Yiran called. All eyes were focused on Lulu and Ah Fei. Their gazes were sharp and full of mockery.
Lulu always walked confidently. Don't even care about all the gaze on him. But, Ah Fei was different, he walked while looking down. Unable to accept the sharp gazes from all the eyes that were focused on them.
"Did you two know how to play basketball?"
Zhang Yiran asked softly. Tired his best not to put more pressure on his two juniors. They both shook their heads. Zhang Yiran swallowed his saliva. His eyes glanced at Mu Zhe and Jiang Hai one after another.
They both just smiled awkwardly. Started to speculate that the two of them joined the basketball club because of Zhang Yiran. "This...gonna be hard."
"What club did you two join before?"
Jiang Hai asked. Trying to help.
"Reading."
In a low voice, Ah Fei answered Jiang Hai question. His head was still look down.
"Cooking"
Lulu answered confidently. As if it was normal. Nothing weird about it. He refused to admit that he was a cheerleader for the basketball club. Because his goal was only one. Liu Mu Zhe. He was afraid that if he admitted, his secret would be revealed and Mu Zhe would stay away from him.
"Is there was a cooking class at our secondary school?"
Mu Zhe whispered. Jiang Hai shrugged. Maybe the club was too small. That's why they didn't know about the club's existence.
Zhang Yiran patted his forehead. Don't know what to do anymore.
"Mumu my baby! I'm back!!!"
A voice suddenly came out of nowhere. Loud and echoing throughout the entire hall. Breaking the tense atmosphere between the seniors and juniors.
Before they could even turn around, Mu Zhe was already in someone's arms. Everyone was in shock. Expecially Lulu.
"Do you miss me baby? don't you love me?"
He asked while rubbing his cheek against Mu Zhe's cheek.
Lulu stared sharply at the man's face. His gaze was sharper than the blade of a sword warrior. He clench his fist tightly. Ready to let go at any time.
"Zhuo Jun!?"
Mu Zhe shouted. Still in daze. His old friend suddenly appeared in front of his eyes without notice.
"Zhou Jun?"
Jiang Hai asked as his hand pulled the man named Zhou Jun from Mu Zhe. For some reason, he felt like there was a danger waiting in the corner if Zhou Jun continued to cling to Mu Zhe.
"Oh Jiang Jiang baby. I miss you..."
Before Zhou Jun could even press his body against Jiang Hai, Jiang Hai already pushed Zhou Jun as far as he could.
"Who is your Baby? Pervert."
Jiang Hai said. Now he remembered who the pervert man in front of him. A primary school friend who moved away because his parents separation. He was told that Zhou Jun followed his father abroad. Who would have guessed that his temperament would become more and more pervert after living abroad for so long.
Ever since they were little, Zhou Jun was known for his pervert nature. He couldn't stand to see beautiful people, no matter men, women or even statues. However, his favorite was always Mu Zhe. Their only friend who had fair skin and cheeks as round as mochi.
"This uniform...?"
Mu Zhe asked while pointing at the uniform Zhou Jun was wearing. Zhou Jun nodded.
"From now on, we will never be apart again."
He answered while hugging Mu Zhe and Jiang Hai's necks.
"Oh."
Zhou Jun quickly released Mu Zhe and Jiang Hai's necks as soon as his eyes caught Zhang Yiran's face.
"I'm Zhou Jun. Nice to meet you."
He said while reaching for Zhang Yiran's hand without any shame. Zhang Yiran who was still in daze just accept Zhou Jun greeting.
"What's your name, beautiful?"
He asked again.
"Err...Zhang Yiran."
Zhang Yiran answered reluctantly. Afraid that if he didn't answer, Zhou Jun wouldn't let go of his hand.
"Your name as beautiful as your face. I like it."
He said. He really didn't know any shame. Zhou Jun turned to Ah Fei and Lulu.
"This is Ah Fei and Lulu. What are you doing here?"
Before Zhou Jun could even get close to Ah Fei and Lulu, Mu Zhe had already interrupted. Quickly introduced the two of them and ready to drag Zhou Jun with him.
"Oh. Are you jealous my dear? Don't worry baby, you're still my number one."
He said. Mu Zhe widened his eyes. Disgusted by Zhou Jun's increasingly pervert behaviour.
"Tch!"
Lulu snorted harshly as he walked away. Angry at what he saw but even more anger when he couldn't do anything. It was still too early for him to show his fangs.
"Eh? Lulu wait for me!"
Ah Fei shouted. Turning to Zhang Yiran. Bow in respect and running to tail Lulu.
"Eh? I haven't finished talking to you.."
Zhang Yiran's words were just carried by the wind. Both of them don't even care to give him a single glance.
"I can't believe that he had a big tamper."
Zhou Jun said. Not knowing that everything was caused by him.
Mu Zhe watched Lulu's every step as he left them. For some reason, his heart felt heavy. He felt like he was losing something. But he didn't know what.
"Who do you think is the cause?"
Jiang Hai asked. His eyes looked straight at Zhou Jun's face. The same goes for Mu Zhe and Zhang Yiran.
"Is that my fault?"
Zhou Jun asked.
"Do you think there's anyone else here who's more annoying than you?"
Jiang Hai asked.
"Oh, my dear Jiang Jiang. Your angry face still charming as always."
Zhou Jun said, really give Jiang Hai some nerve.
Jiang Hai didn't say anything. He just stared straight at Zhou Jun's face while clenching his fists.
Zhou Jun swallowed his saliva. Now he knew that Jiang Hai was really serious.
"Okay. Okay... It's was my fault. I'll apologize to them later. Okay. Please forgive me."
He said while bowing respectfully. Mu Zhe smiled. It turned out that his friends were still the same as before. In Jiang Hai's mischief, there was the instinct of a hero. However, in Zhou Jun's mischief, there was the instinct of a spoiled little boy who needed attention.
"Okay..don't make a fuss. After class, let's we go dinner together."
Mu Zhe said while hugging Jiang Hai and Zhou Jun.
"Chen's family restaurant?"
Jiang Hai asked. His face looked full of excitement.
"Hmmm... okay."
Mu Zhe replied after a long pause. "Chen's restaurant. Lulu..." Without realizing it, Mu Zhe's lips melted into a sweet smile.
"You want to go because of Ru She, right?"
Mu Zhe asked, trying to control the strange feeling that was tugging at his heartstrings.
"Ru She? Who is Ru She?"
Zhou Jun also wanted to know. Mu Zhe and Jiang Hai gave Zhou Jun their side eyes.
"Urghhhh...annoying."
Jiang Hai said while pushed away Mu Zhe and Zhou Jun. He turned to Zhang Yiran.
"Don't think to much about that annoying person. If you have to chase him away, just chase him away."
He said.
"Jiang Jiang baby... it hurts when you say like that. My tiny heart hurt so much you know?"
Zhou Jun made a pitiful face.
"Ru She is Jiang Hai crush. You'd better not take her if you want to continue being friends with him."
Mu Zhe whispering in Zhou Jun's ear.
"Oh..."
Zhou Jun snorted as he glanced at his old friend. A friend who was always there and helped without much excuse. "This is interesting. Who is the lucky girl who got my Jiang Jiang? I need to investigate it."
