Wen Muxue's thoughts raced, yet in reality, only a brief moment had passed.
"How did you end up on this side?"
Tang Yuan glanced at Wen Muxue, then pointed to the opposite side:
"Your Sports Department is over there."
Wen Muxue tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and softly said, "They're all junior students I don't know. Why would I go over there? I came specifically for you."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuan's brow subtly twitched.
Finally...
Couldn't she hold back anymore?
Over the past six days, Wen Muxue had practically transformed into a 'welfare girl,' with various styles of high-definition beautiful photos appearing punctually in Tang Yuan's Moments every night.
As for accidentally sending the wrong video, that would also happen a couple of times now and then.
This made Tang Yuan both pained and happy. He would glare furiously at the sky when he slept and wake up full of vigor. There were even two occasions when, if not for the bigger picture, he almost wanted to ask Su Xiaoxiao out and 'devour' her early.
At the same time, Wen Muxue also started becoming more proactive on WeChat, often finding various excuses to start conversations, leading to more frequent exchanges between the two. However, Tang Yuan, deeply aware of a 'green tea's' nature, always maintained a subtle distance, neither overly enthusiastic nor cold.
Initially, Tang Yuan thought he'd have to keep Wen Muxue hanging for a while longer, expecting her to shift her offensive from online to offline only after some time. But he never expected her to seek him out today, which caught him a bit off guard.
"To draw hatred for me?"
Tang Yuan looked at the Sports Department players opposite, who were radiating immense resentment, and chuckled,
"Thankfully, I'm not playing in the fourth quarter, otherwise I'd be targeted to death by your Sports Department players. You're definitely providing reverse assistance."
Wen Muxue looked at Tang Yuan's somewhat helpless expression, covering her red lips as she lightly laughed. After laughing, she handed Tang Yuana bottle of Pulse.
At this moment, the fourth quarter of the game had officially begun. Most of Tang Yuan's attention was drawn to the game on the court. Normally, by the fourth quarter, players' stamina should be mostly depleted, and the overall pace of the game should slow down accordingly.
However, the Sports Department players were acting unusually at this moment, each looking extremely excited, like tigers unleashed from their cages. Various dunks, three-pointers, and blocks came one after another. In just under 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, they had, with an unstoppable momentum, widened the score difference to an astonishing 27 points, causing Guan Yuntao and his teammates to retreat steadily and suffer miserably.
"Damn it!"
"What are these beasts taking their anger out on us for!"
"It's not like we stole their Sports Department's goddess!"
A Gaojin College player who had just been blocked crossed his arms at his waist, muttering complaints under his breath, his face full of helplessness.
...
Off the court, facing the drink offered by Wen Muxue, Tang Yuan had just finished his own energy drink. He didn't stand on ceremony and directly twisted open the drink Wen Muxue offered.
"Hey!"
"Wait a moment!"
Tang Yuan had just taken a sip when Wen Muxuecalled out to him.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Yuan looked at her with some confusion.
"This bottle of Pulse isn't for you to drink. I just wanted you to help me open it."
Wen Muxue said, handing Tang Yuan another bottle of mineral water.
"You've already had a lot of energy drinks, you shouldn't have any more. Mineral water is what's best for you now."
Tang Yuan was stunned upon hearing this: "Then why didn't you say so earlier? I've already had some."
"It's fine, give it to me."
Wen Muxue's smile carried a hint of playful reproach. She exchanged the mineral water in her hand for the Pulse in Tang Yuan's hand. Then, after taking the Pulse, she very naturally raised her hand and took a sip, her expression as if she didn't care at all that Tang Yuan had drunk from the bottle.
Instantly, gasps of surprise echoed from various parts of the court.
"Holy cow, Wen Muxue just drank from the same water bottle as Tang Yuan!"
"Not only did she drink from it, but her expression was also so natural. I now have every reason to suspect these two have kissed!"
"What? Tang Yuan and Wen Muxue kissed?"
"Brothers, my CPU is burning up! Please, someone tell me, what exactly is the relationship between Tang Yuan, Wen Muxue, and Su Xiaoxiao?"
"I'm a student. Anyone who knows the inside story, please tell me, thank you!"
...
Such a scene was undeniably explosive.
After all, for a man and a woman to share a drink from the same bottle, in many people's eyes, this is something only couples would do, and even then, only couples with a high degree of intimacy.
Tang Yuan, who had an ambiguous relationship with Su Xiaoxiao, publicly shared a drink from the same bottle with Wen Muxue!
This single scene alone sparked a brainstorm among countless people, and a phrase simultaneously popped into the minds of many drama queens...
The Queen's Revenge!
In fact, Tang Yuan, as the person involved, was also quite bewildered at this moment.
Although he had already realized when Wen Muxueappeared that she might change her strategy and start a direct offensive, he didn't expect her to unleash such a big move immediately after they met again after more than half a month.
Facing the ambiguous gazes from the entire venue, Tang Yuan was completely numb.
That's it!
The reputation of 'Xuhui's Number One Scumbag' is now completely mine!
Before the security company acquisition, it's best not to go out at night if possible. Tang Yuan was genuinely afraid of getting ambushed while walking. There were simply too many admirers of Wen Muxueand Su Xiaoxiao!
"You..."
Tang Yuan looked at Wen Muxue, opening his mouth, but not knowing what to say.
"What's wrong?"
Facing Tang Yuan's gaze, a hint of slyness flashed in Wen Muxue's beautiful eyes, and she asked, feigning ignorance.
"Nothing."
Tang Yuan shook his head, knowing that Wen Muxuewas definitely doing it on purpose, but he couldn't really say anything. He could only pretend that nothing had happened, refocus his attention on the court, and continue watching the game, feigning composure.
...
On the court.
Guan Yuntao looked at the Sports Department players opposite, whose eyes were all red, and his throat subtly moved. He felt inexplicably nervous.
"My ancestors!"
"Please don't provoke these beasts any further!"
"If you provoke them again, it's going to turn into violent basketball!"
Guan Yuntao silently prayed. At the same time, his peripheral vision constantly darted to Tang Yuan and Wen Muxue on the sidelines. After seeing them share a drink from the same bottle, and with no further ambiguous gestures, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just as he exhaled, he saw Wen Muxue on the sidelines suddenly pull out a tissue from her bag, then raise her hand and gently wipe Tang Yuan's sweat with eyes full of tenderness.
"It's over!"
"We're going to be BBQ'd!"
Guan Yuntao felt the sudden surge of murderous intent from the opposite side, and he was on the verge of tears. Then he saw the Sports Department players opposite, each seemingly transformed into a tank, charging towards them.
"Brothers, restrain yourselves!"
"This is a friendly game, don't be impulsive!"
"Ah—!"
"Yamate—!"
