Lin Xin stared at Yao Tang for a long time before pulling her over. The two were about to make their way to the comfort room when Qin Jing raised her eyebrows.
“You’ve just finished your review material, and you’re already taking a break?” Qin Jin teased.
“Mind your own business!” Lin Xin rolled her eyes, flashing her a bright smile.
“Fine, if you say so.” The other student mockingly crossed her arms and turned the other way, faking as if she had just thrown a fit.
“Oh come on, let’s go.” Lin Xin nudged her with a smile, shaping her hands like a trumpet as if she were announcing her entrance.
Qin Jing burst into laughter.
“Since you’re the one who called me, don’t mind if I do.”
She quickly caught up to them in a couple of steps, placing her arms on their shoulders.
Without another word, the three girls all made their way to the comfort room.
As the two stepped inside, Yao Tang stood right by the railing next to the comfort room. She scanned over her phone, her lips pursed.
There were a couple of people who had been glancing in her direction, but she didn’t look like she cared.
Instead, she simply stared at her phone, looking as if she was typing something.
Just then, a boy approached her.
“Student Yao Tang, if I may ask…”
Just then, she looked at him.
When he noticed Yao Tang’s gaze, the male student became even more agitated. He lowered his head, unsure of what to say.
“Do you still remember me? I’m the one who posted the video of you playing tennis—I’m also the one who had gotten you into lots of trouble.” He winced inwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m—”
“Zhang Dong?” she responded.
Upon hearing his name come out of her lips, Zhang Dong’s entire face lit up.
“You still remember me?”
However, when he saw the confused look marring her expression, he quickly added, “No, I just…it’s just we only met once and you still remember me—”
Yao Tang didn’t pay much attention to it. “What’s the matter this time.”
Only then did he remember what he had to say.
He had already gone to their room, but he didn’t see anyone. That’s why he had aimed to try his luck by walking past the corridor to see if he’d spot her.
He didn’t expect to see her right by the railing!
His ancestors were really kind to him!
“I did come here to…” he hesitated. “Well, do you remember the time I posted your video? It attracted the attention of the National Sports Association. The President contacted me and asked whether or not you’d be willing to give your contact information.”
His face was flushed and his heart was racing in her chest.
“He also wants to talk to you personally too.”
Who would’ve thought that the President himself would contact him?
He’d even entrust him with such a task to pass the message onto Yao Tang!
It was actually a long time ago. He just didn’t expect her to request a leave of absence, which had delayed his message for a couple of days.
The second Yao Tang returned, he was determined to complete the task entrusted to him.
But..
Her expression appeared cold when she shook her head. “I’m busy. Help me reject it.”
Zhang Dong froze.
“Don’t reject it so quickly,” he said. “Why don’t you think about it? The National Sports Association is a prestigious organization. You’ll definitely be one of the best players out there!”
His eyes were wide.
“I’m sorry. I really can’t accept it.”
However, when she spotted Zhang Dong’s piteous expression, she paused for a moment. “I have to study,” she said. “My schedule is very tight right now, and I want to work hard.”
When Qin Jing, who had just stepped out of the comfort room, heard Yao Tang’s words, she blinked incredulously.
