Chapter 1039 - 1037: Honestly, I Missed Him a Little
But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t dare to crouch down in front of so many people, help her put on her basketball shoes, and tie her shoelaces.Ji Huan was in a great mood, squinting his eyes at Zhu Qianyu who was bending over like an ostrich, tying her shoelaces.
The sun was shining brightly, illuminating the back of her neck, where her originally fair skin had turned a large patch of red.
Ji Huan knew that the redness wasn’t the sun’s doing, but thanks to him.
Even though he knew, he didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty.
Thinking about not having seen her for so many days, being able to see her so shy now, the longing he’s felt was worth it.
Zhu Qianyu finally finished putting on her basketball shoes and collected her thoughts, raising her head to look directly at him. Although her face was still a bit red, her tone was calm as usual.
"You haven’t answered me yet, don’t you have work?"
Ji Huan nodded, then shook his head.
"What do you mean? Yes or no?"
Ji Huan looked at Zhu Qianyu, who was anxious to know, and couldn’t help but reach out to try to mess with her hair.
Zhu Qianyu tilted her head, dodging his big hand.
Ji Huan shrugged helplessly, "I have work, but in my position, no one cares if I’m late or leave early."
Zhu Qianyu never asked much about Ji Huan’s job, and up till now, she was still stuck on what he initially mentioned: working as a manager in a large company.
"Are you in sales?"
Zhu Qianyu naturally assumed that only people in sales would have such flexible working hours.
Ji Huan couldn’t help but smile at her innocence.
"Hmm..."
He responded vaguely, and for someone in his position, saying it’s sales isn’t wrong either; after all, there’s always some work related to sales.
Zhu Qianyu fully believed this, muttering "So free..." then stood up, patted her bottom, and walked towards the basketball court.
Ji Huan took big strides to catch up, as Zhu Qianyu turned her head to glare at him, "Go and work out, I’m attending a club activity, can’t hang out with you."
Ji Huan showed no intention of leaving, "It’s okay if you’re not with me, I’m with you!"
At this moment, he once again made Zhu Qianyu think of the word "rogue."
"Ji Huan, stop messing around. Our club activity doesn’t allow outsiders to disrupt it, go do your thing. I’ll find you after practice."
Zhu Qianyu was unaware that she had unknowingly been backed into his trap.
But even with what she said, Ji Huan still showed no intention of leaving. If she quickened her pace, he would take bigger steps; if she slowed down, he would adjust to take smaller steps.
Zhu Qianyu was at a loss for words, feeling like after not seeing him for a while, he seemed different.
Of course, she would never admit that during the time she couldn’t see him, she actually missed him a little bit.
But that tiny bit of longing wasn’t a good thing for her.
So Zhu Qianyu always refused to face this matter.
Unable to shake off this clingy person, Zhu Qianyu finally turned around in frustration, stomped her feet facing Ji Huan, "Ji Huan, if you do this, I’ll get criticized!"
Normally, Ji Huan rarely made her angry. In fact, he never made her angry.
But right now, he just shrugged, smiling silently, following her no matter what she said.
Soon, the two of them had walked into the basketball court, officially blending into the crowd of club activities.
"Little Bamboo, come up here!"
As the head of the women’s division, Zhu Qianyu was immediately called to the forefront by the president when she appeared.
Zhu Qianyu had no time to pay attention to Ji Huan, taking quick steps to run forward.
She thought Ji Huan would wisely leave on his own now.
But who would have thought, as she stood in front of the president, looking up she would meet Ji Huan’s eyes filled with an unfathomable smile.
"President, he..." Zhu Qianyu hurriedly tried to explain, but the president interrupted her, "Little Bamboo, this is our newly appointed club consultant, Coach Ji. In the future, if you have any questions, you can consult Coach Ji. He was previously the head of the basketball club at B University, leading the basketball team to win several consecutive university championships."
Zhu Qianyu stared dumbfounded at Ji Huan, she knew he was good at basketball, but didn’t expect him to be so impressive!
After the president finished speaking, he turned to the smiling Ji Huan and said, "Coach Ji, this is our women’s division head, Zhu Qianyu. You can just call her Little Bamboo. She’s an all-round talent with balanced abilities in various aspects. Coach Ji, do you want to watch them play a match first?"
Ji Huan winked at Zhu Qianyu, then turned to the president and said, "Let them have a match."
Zhu Qianyu took advantage when the president wasn’t looking to glare at Ji Huan fiercely.
Ji Huan said, "Go for it!"
"Little Bamboo, hurry up," the president urged Zhu Qianyu, and she helplessly followed the president towards the members of the women’s division.
Zhu Qianyu started playing basketball in eighth grade, at that time because her sister excelled in both academics and sports, she didn’t want to embarrass her sister and worked hard to learn.
However, she always felt that her own skills were average, especially when standing next to her sister, she would clearly be overshadowed.
So, after coming to R University, she never considered joining the basketball club. Later she represented her class in the school women’s basketball competition and unexpectedly brought home a championship with her teammates. After that, the president approached her to become the head of the women’s division.
This friendly match was judged by Ji Huan.
For Ji Huan as the referee, it was an unparalleled visual feast.
The agile figure dribbling, passing, and shooting on the court reignited his boundless passion for the sport of basketball.
The match ended with Zhu Qianyu’s team winning, although the score wasn’t overwhelmingly favorable, Ji Huan could see that Zhu Qianyu, as the captain, had actually held back quite a bit.
When Ji Huan handed her a bottle of water and quietly asked, "Why didn’t you give it your all?"
Zhu Qianyu drank a big gulp of water and answered in a low voice, "I didn’t want to dampen their spirits."
Unlike men’s basketball, women’s basketball isn’t a popular club activity. With the current members, Zhu Qianyu spent quite some time and effort persuading people to join and form the current women’s division.
Ji Huan seemed to immediately understand her reasoning and didn’t ask further. It wasn’t until she finished the bottle of water that he suggested, "How about I become the overall head of your women’s division?"
Zhu Qianyu stared at him intently, his expression seemed to be joking but it also appeared serious.
"Coach Ji, are you sure?"
Honestly, if someone as handsome as Ji Huan were stationed at the women’s division, the number of members would surely explode.
Just thinking about him being used as a poster to attract female students made her feel slightly uncomfortable.
"I’m sure, as long as you want, I’ll support you unconditionally!"
