Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Gu Shiting’s Flirtation
Gu Shiting is a full twenty centimeters taller than Sheng Tang. He’s tall with long legs, and easily stretched out his hand to snatch the ball away.
Sheng Tang had already decided to be his training partner and didn’t really compete with him.
Gu Shiting played for a bit by himself and then let Sheng Tang have a turn. Sheng Tang didn’t feel bored; the two of them were quite serious about it.
Later, it was Sheng Tang’s turn for a spot shot.
Out of the corner of her eye, Sheng Tang noticed a few people standing outside the basketball court, among them was Song Chen.
And there was another particularly familiar figure.
She turned her head to look, but Gu Shiting suddenly stood behind her.
The warm breath from his body penetrated his sportswear, diffusing outwards, almost burning Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang raised the ball with both hands, ready to shoot, but suddenly wanted to move a little farther away from him.
Instead, Gu Shiting supported her hands from behind.
His voice, near her ear, seemed to carry his intense body heat, somewhat scorching: "It’s okay, believe in yourself. Even if it doesn’t go in, there’s no penalty."
Sheng Tang: "...."
For some reason, her mind went blank for a moment.
Only later did she realize that she had been flirted with by this young man.
The basketball smoothly went in.
Gu Shiting’s arms went down, and he hugged her tightly for a moment, his chin resting on the top of her head: "Tangtang, great job!"
Then he let go.
The hug was very warm and ambiguous, yet brief and clean.
Sheng Tang didn’t know how to react.
In short, Gu Shiting is either naturally innocent and adorable or intentionally teasing, but he’s very accurate in his actions.
Sheng Tang cleared her throat: "What exactly...."
She hadn’t finished her sentence when she clearly saw the people in the distance, and her voice was submerged in surprise.
Song Chen brought along two burly bodyguards, and next to him stood Chen Zhan, trembling.
Sheng Tang didn’t expect to see Chen Zhan here.
After the matter with Professor Sheng was concluded, Chen Zhan had run away and disappeared. Her withdrawal procedures were handled by her parents.
Sheng Tang looked at Gu Shiting in surprise: "Did you send someone to find her?"
"She was easy to find," Gu Shiting replied nonchalantly, continuing to dribble the ball. Seeing Sheng Tang frozen, he called out loudly, "Tangtang, catch."
He passed the ball to Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang hurriedly steadied herself, dribbling while moving closer to Gu Shiting: "Why did you find her?"
"You don’t need to worry about it, Song Chen will handle it," Gu Shiting said, "She’ll explain everything."
Sheng Tang understood, her steps pausing slightly.
Gu Shiting’s surprises for her today weren’t just about his newfound driving skills, but also an even more accurate answer.
Sheng Tang knew that any words of gratitude would seem insufficient.
She couldn’t help but laugh: "Senior, are you trying to woo me?"
Gu Shiting’s steps halted.
Sheng Tang laughed heartily, and the basketball went in.
She triumphantly raised her hands: "I think I’ve scored two more than you."
Gu Shiting smiled, running over to fetch the ball.
Song Chen smiled at Sheng Tang from afar and left with his people, not disturbing their fun.
Just as Gu Shiting was about to say something, suddenly there was a shout from afar: "Tangtang!"
He frowned deeply.
Sheng Tang stopped in surprise and saw Gu Shiting’s sister, Gu Shiyan.
The superstar Lan Fei was wearing a light blue sportswear, her hair tied in a high ponytail, without any makeup, running towards them.
Sheng Tang looked at Gu Shiting’s expression.
Gu Shiting’s brows were almost knitted together in displeasure.
Sheng Tang couldn’t help but laugh: "Sister Feifei, why are you here?"
Gu Shiyan didn’t mind what others called her; she cheerfully snatched the basketball from Sheng Tang: "Such fun, how could I not come? How are we playing?"
"Not ’we’," Gu Shiting said unhappily, "Why did you come?"
"Considering you’re my own brother, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that," Gu Shiyan said generously, then turned to Sheng Tang and said, "When I was a kid, my aunt asked me to swap him for a newborn Samoyed, I didn’t agree, and I’ve regretted it ever since."
Gu Shiting: "...."
Sheng Tang burst into laughter.
