Chapter 12: The Unknown
Yuan Meng saw Kong Yiyue returning triumphantly, and incredulously asked her, “Did you really take Fu Jinting's phone?”
Kong Yiyue nonchalantly nodded, “Yeah!”
Yuan Meng: "..."
Kong Yiyue smiled, “Let's go, watch them play basketball.”
“Oh, oh, okay.” Yuan Meng really didn't know how to describe Kong Yiyue!
On the basketball court, the handsome and unrestrained figures of the boys attracted the scream of the surrounding girls. Yuan Meng was also screaming and cheering on the side, and even clapped her hands in excitement.
Kong Yiyue and Yuan Meng were originally standing in the third circle of the outer perimeter. As more and more people gathered to watch, she lost interest in the game and gradually got pushed to the back.
Only when Kong Yiyue casually looked up did she realized that the distance between herself and Yuan Meng was...so far.
...
...
She silently looked at the countless black heads in front of her, then looked down at her phone's screen.
Since standing here, she had tried to unlock Fu Jinting's phone screen. She had tried nearly a hundred times, and none of the passwords were correct.
Kong Yiyue complained inwardly: This Fu Jinting is really annoying! It would be better to use a pattern unlock, why use numbers and letters together?
There were so many numbers and letters, how could she possibly know the correct password?
If it were a pattern, she might be able to try her luck. But now…
Kong Yiyue calmed down and thought about Fu Jinting's birthday. What date was his birthday?
Kong Yiyue, completely focused, didn't notice that someone on the court was occasionally looking at her.
Another three-pointer!
Fu Jinting controlled the ball with one hand, and looked towards where Kong Yiyue had been standing just now. Upon seeing the spot was empty, his expression darkened.
Yuan Meng, who had come with her, was still vigorously clapping and cheering. Where was Kong Yiyue?
He remembered the color of her jacket, light green...the same color as the jacket he had thrown away in the hospital trash can.
A light green figure...
Fu Jinting's deep gaze locked onto someone at the very back who was looking down at her phone. He clearly saw the black phone in her small hand. It was his phone!
Fu Jinting didn't know what he felt, but when he came back to his senses, the ball had already been snatched by Zhong Ziyang.
Few people could steal the ball from Fu Jinting. The surrounding girls were all lamenting, and Kong Yiyue also curiously looked inside, but she couldn't see the situation clearly. She just heard a girl say, “Zhong Ziyang is amazing! He actually managed to steal the ball from Fu Jinting!”
Hmm? Kong Yiyue hadn't expected this either. She didn't know: So Zhong Ziyang's basketball skills aren't bad!
Xiang Yi followed Fu Jinting's gaze to the back of the crowd of girls, where he saw Kong Yiyue, with a faint smile on her face. Then her smile faded as she lowered her head to look at her phone.
Xiang Yi felt a sense of “So that's the truth!”
Fu Jinting had been a little distracted while playing basketball today. Every time he dunked, he would seemingly inadvertently look in the same direction. He often played basketball with him, so he would have noticed this abnormality.
And the reason why he had just been robbed of the ball by Zhong Ziyang was because he was distracted by Kong Yiyue?
Xiang Yi wanted to laugh out loud but dared not, so he just smiled quietly.
On the other hand, Zhong Ziyang, who had snatched the ball, was extremely smug, “Haha, Fu Jinting, your basketball skills have deteriorated! I could actually steal the ball from you, what a blunder!”
Fu Jinting ignored his smugness and provocation and simply said, “You guys play first.”
“What?” Zhong Ziyang also stopped, “Why stop halfway?” Like everyone else, he watched Fu Jinting walk off the court intently.
Fu Jinting stood on the sidelines and said to the group of girls, “Kong Yiyue, come here!”
Ahh?
All the girls were stunned. Fu Jinting came over because of...Kong Yiyue?
That Kong Yiyue who was rumored to be pursuing him?!
Everyone was astonished, then looked around, “Where is Kong Yiyue?”
Although Kong Yiyue had a hunch that Fu Jinting would come looking for her, she did not expect it to be a few dozen minutes earlier than she anticipated. Looking at the phone lock that she still hadn't unlocked, Kong Yiyue felt a little dejected, “Fu Jinting, I can't walk over.”
Hearing this, the girls looked at her in unison.
Kong Yiyue had already seen Fu Jinting's expression. She put on an innocent smile, “But I'll try to walk over.” After saying this, she had just taken a step when the girls spontaneously made way for her.
Kong Yiyue was extremely satisfied. Standing in front of Fu Jinting, seeing that he was still expressionless, she boldly said, “I heard that Zhong Ziyang snatched a ball from you?”
Fu Jinting ignored her obvious question and simply stretched out his hand, “Phone.”
Kong Yiyue held the phone behind her back, “Hmm, I'll give it back to you after the game. Don't worry, besides, I can't crack your password anyway, so you don't have to worry about me doing anything to your phone.”
Fu Jinting didn't want to listen to her sweet talk anymore, “Now.”
Kong Yiyue still didn't agree, “Hmm? How about I give it back to you after you beat Zhong Ziyang?”
Zhong Ziyang could score by stealing a ball from him, so his skills were probably quite good. In this way, it would take some time for Fu Jinting to beat him.
She could use this time to try to crack his password, which was a win-win situation.
Kong Yiyue's plan was quite good, but it couldn't escape Fu Jinting's sharp eyes. He asked, “Do you have a grudge against Zhong Ziyang?”
“No! He said he's my benefactor!” Kong Yiyue said innocently, “Don't you want to beat him?”
Fu Jinting did want to beat Zhong Ziyang up, from the moment he heard Kong Yiyue's first word.
Kong Yiyue smiled, “Don't worry, I'll be watching you this time.”
"..." Fu Jinting couldn't find the words to refute her. Zhong Ziyang on the court was already urging Fu Jinting without knowing better: “Fu Jinting, hurry up!”
Xiang Yi was standing close to Fu Jinting and could vaguely hear some of the conversation. He couldn't help but look at Zhong Ziyang meaningfully: Sigh, ╮(╯▽╰)╭, a rotten log can't be carved! Urging someone to beat him up!
When Fu Jinting returned to the court, both boys and girls couldn't hide their shock.
What's going on with these two? Were they...together??
After Fu Jinting turned back to the court, a girl asked Kong Yiyue, “Are you really together with Fu Jinting?”
Kong Yiyue explained, “No.”
Yuan Meng didn't believe her, “Really?”
Kong Yiyue naturally confirmed again, “Truth can't be faked, and fake can't be real.”
Everyone: "..." What! Are they together or not!
After Fu Jinting returned to the court, he heard some boys curiously discussing, “Who is that girl?”
A teammate who had seen Kong Yiyue said, “It seems to be Kong Yiyue from Class 5.”
“Kong Yiyue? She...”
“Aren't you going to start?” Fu Jinting said impatiently.
So the boys stopped gossiping and started playing.
Ten minutes later, Zhong Ziyang found something wrong. Why was Fu Jinting so energetic and powerful after talking to Kong Yiyue? And it seemed like he was targeting him?
Zhong Ziyang had his ball stolen by Fu Jinting again, and he said unhappily, “Fu Jinting, you're deliberately targeting me!”
Fu Jinting easily jumped and hit a three-pointer, “Yes, Kong Yiyue suggested it.”
“What!” Zhong Ziyang immediately shot a furious gaze at Kong Yiyue, who was looking down at her phone not far away. This woman is really burning the bridge after crossing the river! Ungrateful!
Zhong Ziyang was unconvinced, “Fu Jinting, you listen to what Kong Yiyue says?” The subtext was: When did you start listening to her so much?
Fu Jinting lazily replied, “I think the suggestion is good, so I adopted it.”
(＃‵′) Ugh!
Zhong Ziyang cursed!
So, throughout the basketball game, Zhong Ziyang felt exhausted. After it ended, he took a long time to recover and couldn't utter a word.
Fu Jinting tilted his head and drank half a bottle of water. He took a towel and simply wiped his face and hair, then glanced at Kong Yiyue.
After receiving his gaze, Kong Yiyue went over self-consciously, “So you're so good at basketball.”
Fu Jinting ignored her flattery and said two words, “My Phone!”
Kong Yiyue handed over the phone and grumbled unhappily, “The password is so difficult to crack. Why didn't you set a simple one?”
Fu Jinting took the phone with his right thumb and index finger. Then, with a flip, the phone was safely in his palm. He didn't unlock it in front of Kong Yiyue, but he smiled mockingly, “Would a simple one allow you to crack it?”
Kong Yiyue quickly nodded, “Maybe I could!”
Fu Jinting snorted coldly.
Kong Yiyue acted cute again, “Or, you can tell me your phone number? Then I won't have to rack my brains to unlock it!”
Fu Jinting's expression said: You wish!
Kong Yiyue persisted, “Or, I'll tell you my phone number?”
“No, thank you.”
“Sigh!” Kong Yiyue sighed, “So unlovable.” She muttered softly and turned to walk back, without even saying goodbye to him.
Fu Jinting held his slightly warm phone in his palm, his eyes darkening, thinking: It's good enough that he's handsome, why should he be cute! And you're not that cute either!
After inwardly scoffing, he paused in his movement of bending down to get water. Just now, he had…
