Several days passed, and nothing eventful happened except for An Xiulan getting popular among the sports guys. She was talented in both long-distance and short distance races. Relay games were exciting to her. And boys obviously loved girls who could talk sports language with them.

These days Lu Xuan would be watching football matches on the TV while An Qinyan and she would be around. She picked up a thing or two or that’s what she believed but the boys believed that she was a die-hard football fan when it wasn’t true.

She was just obsessed with Ronaldo’s beauty, nothing else!

She followed Shen Yue’s advice and the fights between him and Lu Xuan were decreasing day by day. The first day, they fought fifteen times, the second day it was twelve, then eleven…and now they only fought 7-8 times a day.

And she watched football just to know her enemy better. Nothing else. She wasn’t close to him at all. She was merely curious about this twin of hers.

The voting for the campus Belle contest was ongoing and Zhou Liling was leading the contest while Song Xueyun was in second place, Huo Miam was in third and An Xiulan was in fifth. Every day An Xiulan would jump one place. From the tenth position, she was now in the 5th position.

The reason why Zhou Liling was winning was because she had many fans in high school as well as people now knew that she was Lu Xuan’s cousin. Who wanted to offend Lu Xuan? They were supporting his cousin to be in his good grace. Even if Lu Xuan was not a school gangster, he was the young master of the Lu family. The eldest son who was going to inherit the family law firm or that’s what people believed.

Today the teachers were in a meeting while the students of class Ten were given free periods. Except for the coaches who were putting their souls to train students for the upcoming sports competition, every teacher was in the meeting.

The students often walk in the playground or sit on the border of the playground or on benches under the shade of trees to pass time during free periods. However, today the coaches were training the students.

The athlete team was going to be doing a trial match between female and male athletes.

It was such an interesting thing for students to watch in their free time.

Since no teacher was in sight, they pulled their phones to record the moment.

“All the best,” An Xiulan said to her teammates.

They were participating in a relay race and her position was the end one where she had to take the baton and run towards the finish line.

Han Zixin’s position in his team was the first one. He had to pass the baton to another athlete who further would pass it to other athletes.

As the race began, Han Zixin ran faster than the female athlete and passed the baton to his teammate who skillfully handled it and ran ahead while the female athlete was still grasping for breath.

The students booed the female athlete. They all betted on the male athlete team. It was a one-sided match in their opinion.

As the female athlete passed the baton to the second athlete, the male athlete team passed it to the third person. When An Xiulan received the baton, Yan Shan, the star of the athlete team was halfway near the finish line.







Woosh!

Students didn’t know what on earth just happened. The small-framed girl ran like a bullet and before their eyes she crossed Yan Shan who was only a step away from the finish line. And as she crossed the finish line, the boys who were playing football made a wrong shot and before the ball could put her face, she hit it back and damn, goal!

If An Xiulan were to tell someone that all that she did was just to save her face, they wouldn’t agree.

The girl who never played football shot a goal after winning a race.

The students exclaimed while she was just staring at all of them like an idiot who had no idea about what just happened.

It was a fluke but nobody knew about this.

She just became today’s event star because of a single fluke.

“How could she beat me?” Yan Shan muttered under his breath.

Han Zixin smiled and patted his shoulder. Of course, he knew that she was really talented at running. He had seen her that day in the mall running after the thief.

“You won!” An Xiulan came out of trance when her teammates hugged her. While the female athlete team was celebrating their win, the school forum was bombarded with comments. The video of her winning the race and kicking the football was trending on the school forum.

Some people were not happy with this outcome but the boud were loving every sight of the adorable little girl who could be fierce at times.

Her spot on the campus belle contest jumped from Top 5th to 3rd instantly as she kicked two girls beside.

“My treat?” An Xiulan smiled at Han Zixin. He had promised her that for every match she would win, he would treat her to a meal. She could order anything she wanted.

“Tell me where you want it,” Han Zixin rolled his eyes.

“Your house. I want Yeye’s special crab dish,” An Xiulan shamelessly replied.

These days, she was a frequent visitor at Han Villa. Han Qian liked this innocent and vibrant girl who made his grandson and him smile heartedly. Not only this, the old man even ordered the kitchen to always cook her share of dinner. The Han family had dinner early and so An Xiulan often had her early dinner at Han Zixin’s house and then again at her own house because they had dinner late at her place.

“As long as it’s not Yeye’s precious rabbits,” Han Zixin sighed.

An Xiulan pouted as she hugged his arm. “Rabbits are cute little animals but they taste heavenly.”

Han Zixin flicked her forehead. “He already cried the first time when someone stole his rabbit. He will never let you cook his exported rabbits. They cost a fortune.”







“How is this my fault someone stole his rabbits and he grew paranoid about his rabbits?” An Xiulan muttered, completely forgetting about a certain episode.

Since it was Friday, she had a class with Han Nanxian and so Lu Xuan was getting impatient waiting for her outside. His mother made a new rule; they had to go to school and come back home together.

How much he hated this rule. However, he couldn’t go against his mom when he was still in the process of stealing his mom from the girl?

Lu Xuan checked his watch again. Her tuition class must have ended but where was she?

He had an urge to give her a piece of mind as he went inside to find her coming with a heavy box.

“Are you trying to die by holding this box?” Lu Xuan snickered but he still took the heavy box from him. As his eyes fell on the content of the box, he stopped in his footsteps. “What is it?”

“My desk and locker were brimming with these things,” An Xiulan muttered. Looking at those glaring pink, blue and green letters, she had a headache. “I’m the vice president of the puppy love committee and people are conspiring against me to take my spot by dragging me into this ditch. I am gonna burn these letters and roast corn on them.”

Lu Xuan straightened his back as he took another step ahead. He was, of course, satisfied with her answer.

“What about these chocolates and candies?” Lu Xuan suddenly asked.

“Don’t tell mom but I drank some bubble tea. About the rest of the drinks, I distributed them to my classmates and teammates,” An Xiulan whispered. “As for these chocolates and candies, they are all limited edition. If you won’t snitch on me, I can share some with you.”

“How much?” Lu Xuan questioned with a raised eyebrow.

“70-30,” An Xiulan replied. “It’s my beauty and talent that got me suitors. I will get 70% and you can get 30% for keeping your mouth shut.”

“Mom asked me to buy something for her,” Lu Xuan said as he pulled out his phone from his pocket.

“Fine! 60-40,” An Xiulan said panickedly.

“50-50. Deal or no deal,” Lu Xuan replied as he looked at the sky.

“What a brute!” An Xiulan muttered under her breath. “Fine! But it’s my hegemony to choose which chocolates I get to eat.”

“Whatever,” Lu Xuan murmured. “As for these letters, I will burn them. If you burn your hand, we will be in trouble.”

“Whatever but the roasted corn…make sure you send it to me on time.” An Xiulan pointed her finger at him.

Lu Xuan didn’t reply and arrogantly led the way.
