"Why are you not going to play?" Fu Wang pouted as he ran towards her.
He had played the first half of the game, dashing and tricking his opponents as he aimed for the goal. The star of the game.
He was also eye-candy, attracting eyes just by the way he swiftly ran through the field with his brown hair bouncing on his head and melting hearts with the way his blue eyes focused on the game. And, for some reason, this eye candy was seen looking towards a certain direction one too many times.
Any girl on the planet would die if such eyes stole glances at her. Any girl but Chen Jingyun.
Switching himself out of the game, Fu Wang ran towards her. She wasn't even looking at him, per se, so he would rather sit down and talk with her.
Shaking her head at him, Chen Jingyun crossed her arms and gave him some space on the bench. She waited for him to refresh before talking to him.
"Fu Wang, stop and think for a second. Why do you think I refuse to play?"
Fu Wang naturally sat beside her and pursed his lips as he thought.
"Because you don't want to play?"
Chen Jingyun covered her face. She felt like she was seeing herself in Fu Wang. She had to be blunt.
"Do you want me to go change in a room full of dudes?"
Widening his eyes in shock, Fu Wang fiercely shook his head.
"Never!"
"Then, do you get why I am not participating in class now?"
Fu Wnag quickly repented.
"Yeah. Sorry. I wasn't thinking about that one detail."
I was excited to play with you... that I got careless. Damnit!
Fu Wang quietly scolded himself by lightly hitting his head.
Laughing at him, Chen Jingyun patted his shoulder in comfort. This guy took things way too personally.
"It's okay. I just realized it today too."
"Yeah, but I was supposed to look after you..." Fu Wang sighed.
"Who told you that?" Chen Jingyun arched her eyebrow with amusement.
"Myself. Duh." Fu Wang smiled, his perfect smile shining through before he changed his expression. One of a curious puppy.
"Why did Li Minghao suddenly dragged you away? We were all very surprised." Fu Wang fiddled with his fingers.
He felt like Chen Jingyun was getting stolen by Li Minghao. Whenever he was around, there seemed to be some kind of barrier between them.
To this, Chen Jingyun looked down at her shoes, and then at the vast field with boys running around. She debated whether to tell Fu Wang or not about her current relationship with Li Minghao. The Bodyguard and Slave. So inspiring and beautiful.
"He's..." She started before shaking her head.
It is not that necessary.
She also didn't want Fu Wang running his mouth about random things to the dark lord. She already had too much ammunition against her. So why should she add more?
Waving her hand as if it was nothing, Chen Jingyun explained.
"He just had something to tell me. Don't worry about it. He's harmless. He's just a tiger with no claws."
"Oh... I see." Fu Wang accepted her explanation even though Li Minghao was obviously a tiger with very dangerous claws. In his opinion, the quiet guys were the most dangerous ones as they were unfathomable.
But since Chen Jingyun was giving him such a confident smile, he will believe her words.
After all, she's the granddaughter of a general. He should give her more credit. She probably had everything under control.
Just look at her, fixing her problems and keeping up a perfect act in front of her roommates. She was doing a great job at going undercover!
...
Ay, Fu Wang, you are overestimating her a bit too much.
Suddenly, an idea popped up in Fu Wang's mind. This was the perfect time to ask her. Nobody was around, so it would only be him and her!
"Then... Do you want to go somewhere with me this weekend?"
Chen JIngyun turned to look at Fu Wang, her mind making calculations as this time she was smart enough to think before she talked.
Because... Li Minghao's face had popped up in her head. He was looking at her with a poker face, yet his eyes were conveying his feelings.
If I don't go, you can't go. So if I don't want to go, then... you can't go.
"Where?" She started. She was preparing her mental power point presentation just in case the dark lord would refuse.
But then again... he was the one who chose to be her bodyguard so he should follow her! Right?
"Just... somewhere." Fu Wang shrugged. He didn't have an idea per se. "What about ice skating?"
Chen Jingyun quickly brightened up at the idea.
Ice skating! She hasn't done that in... years!
"We could race just like the old times." Fu Wang made further suggestions as he saw a green light. "Loser invites dinner. What do you think?"
Chen Jingyun was utterly sold. No matter what, not even if Li Minghao complained or scammed something out of her, she would go ice skating.
"Deal."
