713 Are You That Happy to See Me?
The next day, Bai Xi Xi arrived at school and saw that Fu Chen had already arrived. The boy sat at his usual place looking very anxious about the basketball match that will soon begin.
Sensing her presence, Fu Chen looked up and smiled brightly. Bai Xi Xi’s presence gave him such comfort. Earlier, he was still worried that Bai Xi Xi did not show up.
Fu Chen felt that without Bai Xi Xi around, he would not be able to calm down.
“Class Monitor, you’re here.” The joy in his voice was too apparent.
Bai Xi Xi was amused when she saw the glint of light in Fu Chen’s eyes. “Mmm... Are you that happy to see me?”
Fu Chen coughed. “Class Monitor, I was worried that you might not come today. I can’t be at ease without you around.”
“What are you worried about?” Bai Xi Xi sat put down her bag and took a seat. “You will do fine.”
A faint smile curled on his lips. “But without you, the team will lose one more member.”
Just then, Yan Li and the boys entered the class. The moment they saw Bai Xi Xi and Fu Chen, they quickly walked over to their place. Everyone exchanged glances and could see the anxiousness in each other’s eyes.
.....
Everyone was a little afraid of this upcoming match. Moreover, their opponent would be the school’s basketball team.
The only person who seemed calm was Bai Xi Xi.
Looking at her made everyone wonder if she was not anxious at all.
Suddenly, everyone was looking at Fu Chen, waiting for him to say something before the sport meets, would meet. Fu Chen’s heart was beating faster, knowing everyone was waiting for him to say something.
He cleared up his throat and spoke, “Everyone, we have worked hard for this. It did not matter if we win or lose. But, I would like to thank everyone for helping me today.”
“Hey, it’s not a big deal,” Yan Li patted Fu Chen on the shoulder. “We just wanted you to take this chance.”
Soon, everyone left the class and headed to the school field.
Bai Xi Xi looked at Fu Chen and bumped his arm with her fist. “Don’t be too anxious. Just think of it as if you are playing with my nephews.”
Fu Chen chuckled. He felt that playing against Bai Xiang and Zhang Qi Lin would be much more stressful than playing against the basketball team.
With that thought in mind, Fu Chen began to feel more at ease.
“Alright, you should stay here with the others first,” Bai Xi Xi said. “I will come again before the first match began.”
Fu Chen began to feel anxious when he saw that Bai Xi Xi was about to leave. “Class Monitor, where are you going?”
“I still have to join the 400 meters sprint,” Bai Xi Xi said. “It shouldn’t take too long. The event usually finished earlier than the others.”
Fu Chen stared at Bai Xi Xi in disbelief. He did not know that Bai Xi Xi will have to join another sport activity. He just assumed that Bai Xi Xi was free. That was the reason she had agreed to join his team.
Without waiting for Fu Chen to say anything, Bai Xi Xi left and headed to the track.
When she arrived, Lin Xiao Tong and the girls were already standing at the side as cheerleaders.
Lin Xiao Tong saw Bai Xi Xi and waved her hand in excitement. She cupped her hands at her mouth and shouted, “Bai Xi Xi! You can do this!”
Bai Xi Xi laughed when she saw her friends, excitingly encouraging her at the side. She waved her hand back before joining the other participant at the side.
The teacher in charge was giving a briefing about the match and everyone was listening cautiously.
At the track, the 100 meters run had already started. From a distance, Bai Xi Xi could already hear her classmates’ voices, cheering for everyone who took part in the match.
Soon, it was Bai Xi Xi’s turn. After warming up her body, Bai Xi Xi stood at the line and looked ahead.
Bang!
Bai Xi Xi ran on the track heading to the final line. Since she was joining this match because there were not enough people wanting to participate, Bai Xi Xi was taking it easy with her run.
However, she was someone who would often follow her brother and sister-in-law to train. Her stamina was quite good and it was not difficult for her to complete the race.
Just as she was about to reach the finishing line, Bai Xi Xi could see that Fu Chen was standing at the end along with Lin Xiao Tong and the girls. The look on his face showed that he was worried about her.
In the end, Bai Xi Xi finished her race and won second place. She walked over to the side and saw that Fu Chen was holding a bottle of drinking water for her.
“Class Monitor, for you.”
Bai Xi Xi nodded to him and took a few sips. Then, she looked at Fu Chen again, “Why are you here?”
“Of course, I am here to support you,” Fu Chen said. “Class Monitor, you are really great.”
His comment made her laugh. “I was only joining because no one else wanted to join.”
Even so, Bai Xi Xi managed to get second place. Fu Chen thought that Bai Xi Xi was really great.
“Are you tired? Can you still play after this?” Fu Chen was still worried.
“It’s fine. We are not the first team to go. I still have a lot of time to rest before the match.”
It was then that Fu Chen was finally at ease.
Just then, the teacher announced that the first basketball match will begin. Since Fu Chen and his team were not involved in the first match, the two of them were not in a hurry to head over to the basketball court.
However, when they heard that the basketball team would play in the first match, Bai Xi Xi thought that it would be better for them to watch their opponent’s skills.
This would be a good opportunity for the team to learn more about their opponent’s strengths and weaknesses.
