You Move Me To Try

Fei Lixiya, the big-minded person she is, doesn’t notice the rift between An Chuxia and Meng Xiaonan. When she hears Xiaonan is giving her a bun, her eyes light up. She reaches out and grabs the food.
It just so happens that the teacher enters at that moment and shoots daggers at Lixiya. “Fei Lixiya, you know you’re supposed to eat your buns before entering the classroom.” As soon as she hears the teacher’s words, instead of looking glum, she runs out and eats her bun.
“Okay, before we start today’s lecture, I have to talk about something,” the teacher on the podium says seriously. “In response to the superintendent’s call for students to remain fit, the school has organized some running activities.”
A loud roar of noise breaks after the announcement.
“Which superior? Look at me, I have to pull him to have someone to run with!”
The looks given were all inexplicable, and some were looking at the teacher on the podium in confusion.
“Quiet!” The teacher slaps his palm on the podium before continuing. “The exercise is to run around the playground three times after your last class this afternoon. As for specifics, you’ll receive information from your physical education teacher later. Now, start reading.”
The class groans again before quietly discussing the said running exercise.
“Xiaonan!” An Chuxia immediately turns around when the teacher leaves to check on Lixiya. “What’s wrong with you?”
She knows she tricked Xiaonan into coming over to the Hans. Despite not looking good before leaving, Xiaonan still left her some shortbread. At that point, she thought they were okay. But now… .
“Nothing. I just don’t want to have any relations with that person anymore,” Meng Xiaonan says as she lowers her head to read the Chinese text out loud, contrasting her usual self of sleeping in class.
An Chuxia understands completely. Meng Xiaonan doesn’t want to have a relationship with Xiao Mingluo anymore. She knows that whatever she has left to say about it is now useless, so she turns away.
With the reading Xiaonan was doing, and from paying attention to the teacher at class, to being immersed with self-study, Chuxia wasn’t able to find time to reconcile with her.
“What’s the matter with Jiangnan?” The bell rings and the start of the thirty-minute break starts. The nerdy, Lixiya, finally asks An Chuxia.
“It’s complicated,” An Chuxia says with a sigh. “Would you be able to accompany me upstairs to find Xiao Mingluo?”
Fei Lixiya waves her hands. “The head teacher asked me to write a paper in the office. I have to leave now. Sorry!”
Although An Chuxia is friends with everyone in class, the ones she’s closest with are Fei Lixiya and Meng Xiaonan. With Lixiya not being free, she has to go by herself.
As she walks up the steps, the most hated enemy crowds the narrow path. She hears Xu Nian talking behind her.
“What do you know? No matter how ugly the scarf is, Mingluo would like it because I knitted it myself!” Her tone is full of pride, as if she and Mingluo are the only couple in love.
An Chuxia stops and turns her head.
Xu Nian, who happens to raise her head, meets An Chuxia’s eyes and stiffly smiles at her.
An Chuxia now detests her more than ever. Not only did she bring tension to her relationship with Xiaonan, but she despises her personality. Xu Nian coldly looks at An Chuxia as she clings to her bag.
An Chuxia says, “Knitted scarves are the best gift to give to boyfriends. Who are you going to give this scarf to?”
Xu Nian’s girlfriend chimes in. “Of course she’s giving it to Xiao Mingluo.”
Xu Nian’s face stiffens. She stares at her friend for blabbing. Then, she huffs and tries to race up the stairs.
But An Chuxia has no plans of letting Xu Nian go. If her friend knew Xu Nian sent him a present, she’d feel uncomfortable!
“Stop!” An Chuxia reaches out to stop Xu Nian. “I’m asking you. Are you just pretending to be deaf or are you really deaf?’
Xu Nian grinds her teeth. “What do you mean?”
“What do I mean?” An Chuxia waves her hand. “My question is just quite general. However, if you really do plan to give Mingluo a scarf, I am highly suggesting you don’t.”
Xu Nian clenches her fist. “An Chuxia, do you really think I won’t dare to make a move against you, especially now when you’re not protected by young master Qilu anymore?”
An Chuxia sneers and raises her chin like a boy. “Why don’t you try and make a move?”
Around the corner, Xiao Mingluo and Han Qilu start walking down the steps.
Xu Nian coldly smiles as she makes a sudden move that surprises everyone present! She stretches out her hand and slaps An Chuxia on her face. Meng Xiaonan witnesses it.
An Chuxia’s mind goes blank. She only refocuses on Xu Nian when the sting starts spreading; she doesn’t know what to do.
At the moment she froze, Meng Xiaonan walks up and slaps Xu Nian on the face. It was so hard, Xu Nian almost fell down the steps!
Meng Xiaonan looks down at her. “You’re too fat to do this kind of acting. You know that I didn’t hit you that hard.”
“Mingluo ge, she hit me!” Xu Nian eyes well up as she sees the boys walk down the steps.
Han Qilu’s first reaction is to check and see if An Chuxia is hurt.
An Chuxia glares at Xu Nian fiercely before saying to Mingluo, “You’re the one who slapped me first!”
“Don’t play victim when you’re the instigator.” Then, Meng Xiaonan glances at An Chuxia. There isn’t any coldness in her eyes.
“A good opportunity to grasp.” Han Qilu whispers in Mingluo’s ear.
With a stiff face, Mingluo slows down his pace and stands next to Xiaonan. Under everyone’s watch, he reaches out and pulls Xiaonan’s hand. “Did it hurt?”
Him spoiling her stimulated Xu Nian greatly.
“Mingluo ge!” Xu Nian says excitedly. “She just hit me! Uncle told you to take care of me in school!”
“Did I not take care of you?” Mingluo says to her coldly. “Even when you destroyed the relationship between me and Xiaonan, I had not gotten upset. If we get along, fine. But this is as far as I can go to care for you. Don’t push your luck!”
Meng Xiaonan looks at Xiao Mingluo. She thought he was going to side with her. She didn’t even consider he’d stand by her side without reason. At this moment, her eyes get misty, and her nose feels a little sour.
“Mingluo ge!” Xu Nian stands in place. When she realizes she won’t be placated, she howls a cry before stomping away. Her friends follow suit.
The four of them are left at the corner of the stairwell.
“You… .” Xiaonan moves her lips, but she doesn’t know what to say.
Xiao Mingluo finally pulls her in and fiercely plants a kiss on her lips. “You have nothing to say! I’ve not eaten breakfast. Join me.”
It’s a miracle to see them together. An Chuxia watches on as they leave.
“An Chuxia, it seems like you’re quite smart. It worked!” Han Qilu claps a few times as he looks at her in appreciation.
She shakes her head and says, “I didn’t do anything.”
“It’s because you didn’t do anything.” He reaches over to her shoulder. “Now no one went to the basketball club with the manager, so now, you’re held liable.”
Where’s the logic in that?
Before she can think, Han Qilu drags her to the basketball court.
“Slow down! Let me go!” She tries to break free from his grip, but his hand is made of steel and can’t be shaken off.
Along the way, the people they pass pay attention to him holding her hand. She just wants to crawl into a hole and die!
Fortunately, the club isn’t far away. No one is in it, and as soon as the light switch is flipped, the court lights up.
“It’s so big! I didn’t know there is an indoor basketball court here!” An Chuxia forgets she’s still imprisoned, and looks at the place in wonder.
“Don’t people with an IQ already know?” Han Qilu glances at her before letting go of her hand. Then, he disappears to a small room by himself, only to come out with a pile of unpacked jerseys in his hand.
“This is?” She asks suspiciously.
As soon as she asks, her hands become heavy. He places the stack of jerseys into her arms. She unconsciously stretches her arms out to receive the weight of the clothes.
In addition to the jerseys were the jackets, which added to the weight.
“Do you know the responsibility of this chore is on the club manager? If you don’t, you should’ve taken remedial classes so you would be a more qualified basketball club manager,” he says in disappointment.
An Chuxia zeroes in on his words. “Club manager? Who’s the basketball club manager?”
He rolls his eyes at her and looks at her contemptuously. “I was about to say you’re stupid, but you’ve already proven that!”
“You mean I’m the club manager?” she asks.
He shrugs noncommittally. “Otherwise?”
She can feel her blood rise to her chest. “When did I become the basketball club manager? Why didnt I know?”
“I appointed you.” He looks at her, raising his eyebrow.
“When?!” She asks in panic. The job of a basketball club manager is a miscellaneous, thankless job.
He grins. “Just now.”
