Chapter 123: Jealousy Unleashed
“So, since you admitted that you’re friends, shouldn’t Qin Ruoyao also be invited to your birthday party?” Brother Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
This kind of situation is way more fun when both parties involved are present, isn’t it?
Lin Li took a deep breath.
With Brother Lin Xuan putting him on the spot like this in front of everyone, he couldn’t refuse.
“Fine.” He nodded, “Qin Ruoyao, my birthday party is this Saturday. Are you free?”
“Yes!” Qin Ruoyao felt an overwhelming wave of excitement.
She would finally get to meet Brother Li’s family.
A girl from the Shangqing University basketball team’s logistics crew handed a bottle of water to Brother Lin Xuan.
“Lin classmate, have some water,” she said with a blush.
“Thanks.” Brother Lin Xuan casually accepted it, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down a big mouthful.
Su Hua’s eyes were glued to Brother Lin Xuan’s hands.
Brother Lin actually drank water given by another woman.
Brother Lin really knows how to piss her off.
Jiang could feel the temperature around them drop several degrees.
So cold.
Jiang rubbed her arms.
She seriously suspected Su Zong was made of jealousy, ready to explode at any moment.
The Young Master Lin just drank mineral water offered by a girl, and already Su Zong was jealous.
Su Hua pursed her lips and ordered coldly, “Go buy two bottles of mineral water.”
Jiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Yes, Su Zong.”
Standing somewhat far away, not many people noticed Su Hua.
After the second basketball game ended, Brother Lin Xuan wiped his sweat. The same girl approached again, handing him another bottle of mineral water with a squeaky voice, “Lin classmate, here.”
The girl suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
She felt as if she was locked in by an extremely cold gaze. When she turned around, she saw Su Hua.
“S-Su Zong,” the girl stammered nervously.
Su Hua stepped closer in her sneakers.
Lin Li paused mid-sip of water.
It was her.
The woman who had dramatically abducted Brother Lin Xuan from the wedding scene!
Now, she seemed even more beautiful than the first time he’d seen her, less icy, almost glowing with warmth.
Seeing Su Hua’s face up close again, an endless jealousy spread through Lin Li’s heart.
What was so great about Brother Lin Xuan anyway?
He was just someone Lin Li had defeated before, yet somehow managed to attract such an extraordinary woman!
Lin Li stared intensely at Brother Lin Xuan and Su Hua.
“Holy crap, what a catch!” one of Lin Li’s teammates cheered, “There’s actually a woman this beautiful! Is she the school flower of Shangqing University?”
“No, the school flower of Shangqing University is Qin Ruoyao. What are these students thinking, not letting her be the school flower?”
“Impossible, I need to find out her name. Maybe I can win her over.”
Today, Su Hua wore a white casual outfit paired with sneakers, looking youthful.
Her black hair flowed smoothly down her back, with light makeup enhancing her beauty.
This appearance perfectly embodied a university high-cold goddess, and everyone present couldn’t help but stare.
Many boys felt sour inside.
Such a rich and beautiful girl already had someone—Brother Lin Xuan.
By now, Su Hua had reached Brother Lin Xuan.
The girl was too nervous, still holding out the bottle of mineral water.
“Hua Bao.” Brother Lin Xuan immediately sensed Su Hua’s change in expression.
What’s wrong?
Brother Lin Xuan glanced at the female logistics staff. Could Su Hua be jealous because of her?
As he thought, Su Hua handed Brother Lin Xuan an already opened bottle of mineral water, “Drink up,” she said coldly.
Without hesitation, Brother Lin Xuan accepted the water from Su Hua.
The girl didn’t care about her embarrassment anymore; she awkwardly retracted her hand.
“Since Lin classmate has water, I’ll take my leave.”
The girl bowed her head and left. Only after running fifty meters away from the basketball court did the fear in her heart dissipate.
Su Zong was truly terrifying.
Just standing there was enough to make her feel suffocated.
And she had dared to imagine getting close to Brother Lin Xuan through the basketball logistics team.
Previously, she had only seen Su Hua’s picture on forums but hadn’t interacted closely in real life.
Only just now did she realize how truly formidable Su Hua was.
Su Hua was someone she could never compare to, let alone try to compete with for Brother Lin Xuan.
When Su Hua saw Brother Lin Xuan drink half the bottle of water she gave him, a faint smile appeared in her eyes.
She picked up the towel nearby and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead, face, and neck, her expression incredibly serious, as if she were doing something incredibly important.
Brother Lin Xuan looked at her tenderly.
Their intimate interaction made all the single dogs around them envious.
“Ugh! This sickening sweetness!”
“Ahhhhh, they’re so sweet, it makes me want to start dating too.”
“Seriously, they really suit each other—a handsome guy and a beautiful girl, such a perfect match.”
Many started shipping them openly.
The male members of the Yun University basketball team hung their heads in disappointment.
Turns out, this flower already had an owner.
Lin Li’s face was full of resentment.
His few teammates sighed, “They do look good together. Brother Lin Xuan must have hit the jackpot to have such a girlfriend.”
“Shut up!” Lin Li suddenly snapped.
The teammates looked at each other confused.
What happened?
They were just talking about Brother Lin Xuan, why did Lin Li react like this?
Jiang leaned against a tree, watching Su Hua wiping Brother Lin Xuan’s sweat and thoughtfully reflected, in this world, only Brother Lin Xuan could enjoy Su Zong’s service.
Even though Su Zong had a cleanliness obsession, she willingly held the sweat-soaked towel.
Su Hua smiled faintly and said, “Your basketball skills are pretty good.”
“Being praised by my girlfriend is quite an honor.”
Brother Lin Xuan sat Su Hua down on a chair.
“Hua Bao, sit here and… ”
Brother Lin Xuan wanted to ask Su Hua to cheer him on, but considering her aloof and dominant nature, decided against it—it would ruin her image.
“Just sit here and watch me play.”
Time was up, Brother Lin Xuan returned to the field.
With Su Hua present, Brother Lin Xuan played even harder, almost supernaturally, sinking one ball after another into the hoop.
Originally, the scores between Shangqing University and Yun University were tightly contested.
But in the third round, Brother Lin Xuan scored countless three-point shots, leaving Yun University’s basketball team far behind.
Sometimes, Brother Lin Xuan even sent flying kisses to Su Hua.
The female audience was quieter than before. With Su Hua there, none of them dared to speak loudly.
Brother Lin Xuan dribbled the ball to the basket, surrounded by Yun University’s basketball team. With a jump, he slammed the ball into the hoop.
“Wow, husband, I love you!” A girl couldn’t help but burst out with a scream.
Everyone else looked at her.
How brave.
Su Hua glanced at a very chubby girl with a baby face sitting among the audience, narrowing her eyes dangerously.
Husband?
I love you?
That girl didn’t notice the danger and continued shouting excitedly, “Husband, you’re amazing, ah ah ah ah ah.”
—
Love you guys.
Goodnight, dream well.
Dear Boss, I’ll wait for you to come back to school.
