Love So Sweet

701 Transfer to Another School

After he was made to apologize to both Fu Chen and Bai Xi Xi, Jian Chi no longer showed up at school. Later, Teacher Du came to the class and announced that Jian Chi was going to transfer to another school. His family was planning to go abroad for work matters and Jian Chi would go with them.

Everyone was surprised to hear this news. No one expected that Jian Chi would suddenly move to another school, especially as they were now in their final year.

If Jian Chi waited for a bit, then, everyone would be able to graduate together.

However, his friends understood why Jian Chi chose to transfer to another school on short notice.

Jian Chi should feel embarrassed after creating that rumor about Bai Xi Xi and Fu Chen. He could no longer face them and chose to transfer to another school. The farther he could go, the better.

Bai Xi Xi felt that the atmosphere in her class was a little relaxing without Jian Chi. Anyway, she had never liked that boy for his attitude.

School ended and as usual, Bai Xi Xi would make a trip to the teacher’s office to send her classmates’ work to their teacher. She talked to Teacher Du for a while before she turned around and leave.

Bai Xi XI appreciated that Teacher Du’s treatment towards her has always been the same. Initially, she was a little worried that Teacher Du was going to find her unpleasing in letting her sister-in-law be involved and had even called a lawyer to settle the problem.

Fortunately, Teacher Du had always treated her the same.

.....

After leaving the teacher’s office, Bai XI Xi used the path that led her to the basketball court. As soon as she came closer, Bai Xi Xi could hear the sound of the ball against the floor.

On the basketball court, the team was practicing hard.

Meanwhile, Fu Chen was watching them from the corner. His hands gripped the fence tightly as he was watching the practice agitatedly.

Bai Xi Xi swept her gaze around the place and noticed that there were not a lot of girls surrounding the place.

In the past, there would always be a group of girls who came to watch the basketball practice for Jian Chen. But now that the boy they liked was no longer around, the girls stopped showing up during the team’s practice.

Bai Xi Xi shifted her gaze to the team on the court.

Her brow furrowed upon noticing how the team seemed to be struggling.

In the past, Jian Chi was always around. That boy was the sort of person who liked the limelight and would let his team pass the ball to him, letting him do all the scoring.

But now that Jian Chi was no longer around, the boys were finding it hard to find their rhythm.

Bai Xi Xi felt that if the team had to play against another team, they would definitely lose.

This is what Jian Chi had done to his team. Everyone became too dependent on him that they could not do anything without him around.

Seeing the team’s skill almost made Bai Xi Xi cursed.

Look, even their passing was terrible.

The team did not seem to have an understanding among their members. In the past, they only understood Jian Chi alone.

After watching them for a while, Bai Xi Xi finally thought that she had seen enough.

Her gaze met with Fu Chen who stood at the corner just as she was about to turn around and leave the basketball court.

Bai Xi Xi could see that Fu Chen seemed to have something to talk to her about, but since there as quite a few people around to watch the team’s practice, they both decided not to approach each other.

It was not that long ago that they were rumored to be together.

Fu Chen and Bai Xi Xi both did not want to get involved with another gossip. They both find that it was too troublesome to deal with what people might say about them.

Most of the basketball players were close friends with Jian Chi. Therefore, both of them were careful not to be seen by them, afraid that they might want to get revenge for Jian Chi.

It was Fu Chen who first retracted his gaze away.

The two of them continued to watch the practice in silence while keeping their distance.

After a while, Bai Xi Xi finally turned around to leave. She felt that watching the team training was too tiring.

She left the school building and walked back home, using the same path she usually took.

As she reached a corner, Bai Xi Xi caught the sight of Fu Chen who was walking behind her while keeping his distance.

Seeing him almost made her laugh. She seemed to notice that Fu Chen would keep his eyes on her from a distance. However, he was too scared to talk to her.

She recalled that earlier, Fu Chen seemed to have something to talk to her about

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Xi Xi decided to make a turn. Instead of heading home, Bai Xi Xi decided to stop by the ice cream shop.

If he wanted to talk to her, Fu Chen could always stop by the ice cream shop as well.

When she arrived, there were not many customers around. Bai Xi Xi entered the shop and looked at the selection of ice cream behind the glass.

From the corner of her eyes, Bai Xi Xi could see Fu Chen entering the ice cream shop as well.

Without glancing at him, Bai Xi Xi spoke, “Why don’t you choose an ice cream as well? This time, it would be my treat.” Then, she looked up and smiled.

Fu Chen seemed embarrassed when Bai Xi Xi turned around to look at him. From her words, he could figure out that Bai Xi Xi had long noticed his presence.

And he thought that he was being too careful.

“You have something to talk to me?” Bai Xi Xi tilted her head to one side. “Let’s talk while we eat.”
