TL: These chapters are some of my favorite. I hope you fangirl with me.

An Chuxia knows Xiao Mingluo wants to shift topics, but after mentioning Xiang Mankuai, her curiosity becomes more weighted. Pregnancy, taboo… these issues press her not to gasp for breath.

“Chuxia, classmate, what are you afraid of? Didn’t you say you played varsity basketball in your previous school?” At this time, Han Qilu enters the stadium’s front door. He can’t help but frown after hearing Xiao Mingluo’s statement. “Match me?”

The corners of his mouth raise. “Who dares to be compared to you, young master Han?” His lackey raises the basketball as a challenge.

He lightly glances over to Xiao Mingluo before popping the Fanta tab and handing it over to An Chuxia. “They suddenly didn’t want to bowl. Next time, if you want to challenge me, play by yourselves.”

She doesn’t know why Han Qilu is suddenly nice to her, but her sixth sense tells her he’s up to something. Can it be because of Xiang Mankuai? In any case, it’s impossible to ravel this matter! But if Xiang Mankuai was with child… shouldn’t the child be born? If the child is Han Qilu’s, then… what can she do about it?

Bah! What can she do? This is trifling! Han Qilu laughs as he sees her mood shift. “What is your small brain thinking?”

“Nothing!” She raises her head and drinks the icy cold Fanta to calm her heart. She doesn’t know why thinking about Xiang Mankuai puts her in a bad mood. She looks at Ling Hanyu sitting on the spotless court, reading his comic book. She hands back the Fanta to Han Qilu before sitting next to Hanyu. “Do you like reading female comic books that much?”

Ling Hanyu looks up angrily. “Do not listen to Mingluo! That scoundrel spews nonsense! This is obviously a boy’s comic book!”

He hands the comic book to Chuxia to look at. It says Douro Mainland Comic 64. It has a picture of a big dragon, and it really is a boy’s comic book.

“Well, it’s a boy’s comic book.” Regardless, she’s already convinced Ling Hanyu is gay. For someone who’s supposed to be manly, his speech is quite delicate. Good! Later, they can be good sisters! As she hands back the comic book to Ling Hanyu, she realizes Han Qilu is walking toward her, fishing something out of his pocket.

She is surprised when the young master unexpectedly pulls out a small bandaid box with exquisite Hello Kitty print covering it.

“Let me look at your ear.” He sits beside her, carefully looking at her ear. The seemingly trivial action makes her blush all of a sudden. Can he occasionally treat her like a girl? How can a boy be so close to a girl and be comfortable?

“What are you doing?” She feels his warm fingers caress her earlobe, making her blush deeper. That’s her sensitive spot!

Han Qilu doesn’t answer her question. He rips open a bandaid, and stretch the side membranes before applying it cautiously against her ear. She remembers the landlady hurting her ear. She suddenly feels emotional over the chaste gesture… .
