The tournament second-round results were announced, and most of the participants of the school stopped here. Left with only six players, including the two of them.
Chu Tangtang and Jiang Huan’s room were only a corridor apart, in one big step, the distance could be crossed over. Originally, the two did not see each other more than a few times in the first half of the competition, and since that day, one door had just opened, and the other would open in just a few seconds.
The conversation they had, have also changed from just greetings to chatting about other things.
”It’s so hot,” Chu Tangtang was wearing a cool dress and holding a milk ice cream, leaning against the window at the end of the corridor with Jiang Huan.
She pinned her hair by her ear, and stared at the blue sky with worry: “If it’s the same weather tomorrow, I’ll be finished.”
The heat of the day could make her pass out.
Jiang Huan stared at her expressionlessly: “How many ice-creams have you had today?”
The young girl put up four slender fingers.
In the next second, the ice cream in her hand was snatched away.
“Ah,” she looked at Jiang Huan in anger, “What are you doing?”
“It’s hard to say what the weather will be like tomorrow, but I know if I let you continue eating, you’ll be finished too.” Jiang Huan bit into the ice cream, the cold sweet ice cream melted, he frowned.
Such a sweet thing, she actually ate four.
It was really a child’s taste.
Jiang Huan’s dark, heavy eyes did not hide his dislike. When she saw it, she kicked Jiang Huan’s calf like a cat with fried hair.
She said in a vicious voice, “If it’s not good, give it back to me.”
The ice cream was not too big, Jiang Huan ate it in three to five bites and put the empty stick back into her hand: “Oh.”
Chu Tangtang was so angry that her face was deformed, she grunted in anger, turned her head and walked away.
Jiang Huan also followed behind her: “Angry?”
She did not reply, only wanted to speed up her steps to get rid of Jiang Huan.
But Jiang Huan’s legs were longer than hers, he followed her easily: “Don’t be angry, when the game is over tomorrow, I’ll treat you to a meal, okay?”
She was like a villain, and when Jiang Huan didn’t back out, she turned around and picked up his hand, forcing his little finger to pinky promise: “It’s a deal!”
The third round of the tournament determined whether they can get tickets to the final, so these days the two stay together and do not do anything else.
Jiang Huan and Chu Tangtang took the test at the same venue, and after he turned in his paper and waited a while, the young girl came out with a nervous look.
“So hard,” she rubbed her head, “the difficulty has increased so much at once, I will be eliminated from the finals.”
Jiang Huan wasn’t very good at comforting people, his facial expression grimacing for a while, holding back a dry sentence, “It’s okay, that’s pretty impressive too.”
She tilted her cheek and sighed, “You’re really not good at comforting people.”
Jiang Huan’s ears became hot and he was once again frustrated.
“Forget it,” she went out today wearing a sun hat, two hands pulled to the brim, “just now is a lie, I just want to know what you will say, and I deliberately said that.”
It was great that he didn’t notice, she had been worried that her acting skill was not up to standard.
On the rest of the way back, no matter what she said, Jiang Huan kept his mouth shut, apparently angry at being teased.
In the car, she poked Jiang Huan, who had put on headphones since he switched to this car, and started listening to songs with his eyes closed.
Jiang Huan took off one side of the headphones and lifted his eyes.
“This doesn’t seem to be the way back to the hotel.”
“Well,” Jiang Huan nodded and finally spoke, “didn’t I promise you that I would treat you to something to eat? I heard from someone that there’s a street in this place with a lot of good food.”
His phone browser’s record could be used to confirm.
She quietly sighed with relief and looked happy: “I thought I made you angry and you forgot about it.”
Jiang Huan raised his hand and stuffed the removed headphones into the young girl’s ear, skipping the topic: “Come and listen to the song together.”
He added in his heart to answer, how could he forget?
