Ming Dai looked confused.
“Thank me for what?”
Xia Ling said matter-of-factly, “Thank you for choosing me! When you become famous in the future, there will definitely be countless people who like you and want to be friends with you. However, you still chose me in the vast sea of people. Isn’t this something to be grateful for?”
Look at Xia Ling’s twisted logic. She no longer had the look of an ice princess in the eyes of her classmates.
Ming Dai was taken in by her twisted logic and laughed along with her.
Her amber eyes sparkled, and she curled up like a kitten. The corners of her mouth were lifted very high.
For a moment, the worries about her parents faded away, and the joy of a new friend filled her heart.
“Yes, my friend!”
Forget about those hypocritical so-called friends in her previous life.
It could be said that Xia Ling was Ming Dai’s first true friend!
She immediately became excited. She did not care about her empty wallet and insisted on treating Xia Ling to snacks.
Xia Ling refused. “This time, I’ll treat you… Be careful!”
She quickly reached out and pulled Ming Dai back!
Ming Dai’s body tilted and she almost fell. Fortunately, she reacted in time and stabilized herself.
Ming Dai raised her hand to hold her crooked glasses. She was a little slow before she apologized to the girl who had suddenly appeared at the corner.
“I’m sorry…”
When she saw that face clearly, she instantly pursed her lips!
Not far away, the girl held onto the shelf beside her to stabilize herself. A gentle and generous smile slowly bloomed on her face.
She waved her hand and said, “It’s fine. I didn’t see clearly when I was walking. Are you injured?”
Xia Ling suddenly called out, “Gu Lingsi?”
The girl widened her eyes. “Xia Ling! Why are you here?”
“I’m here with a friend.” Looking at the silent Ming Dai, Xia Ling took the initiative to introduce her. “This is my friend, Ming Dai. Ming Dai, this is Gu Lingsi, my classmate.”
The 18-year-old Gu Lingsi was slender and elegant. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her eyes were as beautiful and elegant as the bright moon. Unfortunately, she was a little inexperienced and did not have the natural temperament of the person she would be ten years later.
However, standing here, she still looked eye-catching. Even the boys nearby were secretly sizing her up.
In high school, Gu Lingsi was not as unreachable as Xia Ling.
She was kind, friendly, kind, and generous. She treated everyone equally and was nicknamed the “Goddess of No.1 Middle School.”
Perhaps it was because they had brushed past each other yesterday, but Ming Dai’s emotions did not fluctuate much when she saw Gu Lingsi today.
She looked at Gu Lingsi and exclaimed in surprise.
“This is the first time I’ve heard that you have friends. Hello, Ming Dai, I’m Gu Lingsi.”
Then, she smiled gently and reached out her hand.
Ming Dai slowly raised her hand and shook it.
“Hello, Gu Lingsi.”
It should be said that today was the first time Ming Dai had met Gu Lingsi after her rebirth.
Ming Dai acted as usual. She was neither warm nor cold.
It was just ordinary, but there was a hint of alienation in her calmness.
Perhaps it was Gu Lingsi’s first time meeting someone like Ming Dai, who did not have a good expression on her face so she looked at her several times.
Xia Ling watched the entire process and did not think that there was anything wrong with Ming Dai’s attitude.
In any case, she was not close to Gu Lingsi, so she was not in the mood to talk to her. She immediately planned to say goodbye.
“Then we’ll leave first.”
Gu Lingsi stopped her.
“Ning Xu and the others are playing basketball. I’m about to go over. Do you want to come along?”
Ming Dai’s breathing paused.
…Ning Xu?
He was also a student of No.1 Middle School?
Calculating his age, Ning Xu should be in his first year.
He had just entered school and Ming Dai had already gone to the entertainment industry to start filming. No wonder the two of them did not interact at all even though they were in the same school.
At this moment, Ming Dai’s emotions were indescribably complicated—
Although she was mentally prepared to reunite with her acquaintances from her previous life, wasn’t this frequency a little too high?
Fate was like a predetermined train, rumbling towards her…
What surprised her even more was that Xia Ling actually knew Ning Xu!
“That guy, Ning Xu, I called him but he didn’t answer. He actually went to play basketball?”
She then asked Ming Dai if she could accompany her to the basketball court.
It was obvious that she wanted to find trouble with Ning Xu.
The curious Ming Dai finally nodded in agreement.
* * *
The lunch break was about to end, but the basketball court was still filled with people. Cheers rose and fell!
The youth on the field was agile and nimble. He was as shocked as a swimming dragon and moved like a cheetah. He carried the ball past the heavy encirclement and suddenly jumped up. He blocked the ball and dunked it into the net. His valiant and heroic bearing was as bright and dazzling as the sun, attracting everyone’s attention!
“Ahhh!”
“Ning Xu, Ning Xu, Ning Xu!”
“Hubby, I love you…”
“…”
The high school basketball court was the hot topic of the idol meet-and-greet!
Especially the warrior who shouted “Hubby, I love you.” She attracted many admiring gazes!
The warrior’s good friend could not stand the attention. Her face burned as she pulled her hard.
“Can you be more reserved?! You’re a senior in Year Three. Ning Xu is only in Year One. How dare you call him Hubby?”
“Those who are handsome can be called Hubby! So what if he’s in a lower grade? It’s even more exciting to think about it!”
Ming Dai, who happened to be standing nearby, was speechless.
She crossed the sea of people and saw the dazzling young man in the middle of the basketball court—
The youth who ended the match with a victory walked to the sidelines while chatting and laughing with his companions.
He picked up the hem of his jersey to wipe his sweat, revealing his well-defined abs.
It was clearly a very ordinary action, but he did it again and again, causing many girls by the side to scream.
He seemed to be well aware of his charm. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he looked outside the arena with a faint smile…
Suddenly, he paused!
Ming Dai quickly lowered her gaze and frowned imperceptibly.
Was it her imagination?
Just now… Ning Xu was looking at her?
No, that shouldn’t be the case. Ning Xu clearly didn’t know her at this moment!
Then, she heard Xia Ling sneering beside her. “Is this kid provoking me?”
Ming Dai understood.
Oh right, Xia Ling and Ning Xu knew each other. When he looked over, he should have noticed Xia Ling and not her.
When she looked at the venue again, Ning Xu had already looked away.
Ning Xu came to the side of the court. Gu Lingsi, who was waiting there, handed over the mineral water she had bought from the school supermarket.
“Drink some water!”
Ning Xu, who came out from the basketball court, was no longer as aggressive as before. His posture was lazy, like a noble cat.
He raised his head and drank some water. His peach blossom eyes were also smiling. He said something to Gu Lingsi that made her laugh out loud.
Ning Xu also smiled. His already beautiful eyebrows seemed to have been lit up, making everyone else dumbfounded.
There seemed to be an indescribable intimacy between the two of them.
When a girl saw this scene, she muttered softly,
“Is that Gu Lingsi? She and Ning Xu are so close. Boohoo, I’m so jealous!”
“They were childhood sweethearts. I heard that Ning Xu once pursued Gu Lingsi. It’s a pity that Gu Lingsi doesn’t like him.”
“A puppy hurt by love? What should I do? He’s even more lovable.”
“…”
Ming Dai’s lips twitched.
Xia Ling was even more direct and snorted coldly.
“A puppy? I think a mad dog is more like it!”
