To persuade Chu Ci to let him visit her at school, the other party continued sending messages: ["It's rare for me to be in Tonghai City and so close to you. Please let me see you just once; otherwise, I'll be laughed at in the future." ]
"Where is your event? I'll come to find you."
Chu Ci agreed but was still reluctant for the other person to come to school, fearing it would cause a scene and that others would learn about her private matters, which she found troublesome.
["Then I'll give you the address. Please remember to arrive at the right time! Don't forget! "]
[hmm...]
After replying to the message, Chu Ci continued to lie on the table and sleep. She vaguely heard her classmates discussing the news that basketball star Yi Xuecheng would be coming to Tonghai City to participate in an event on Wednesday.
Typically, most people who engage in gossip are girls, while discussions about basketball tend to involve more boys. Huayue High School, with the highest enrollment rate in Tonghai City, consistently ranks first in the provincial high school basketball competition each year. As a result, the basketball culture at the school is very strong, with both school leaders and students showing great interest in the sport. Despite the noise in the classroom, Chu Ci was completely undisturbed and continued to sleep soundly.
Chu Ci is quite satisfied with her current living situation. She enjoys free food and drink and doesn't have to worry about her daily meals or accommodation. By regularly donating the money earned by the company, she can ensure a long life while enjoying a leisurely lifestyle. Meanwhile, the topics of conversation among those around her have shifted.
"Did you hear that Meng Yuxin received the Yi Xuecheng commemorative badges for Chu Han?"
"Is that true? Is it really from Yi Xuecheng? Are you sure? Why would Yi Xuecheng give his badge to Meng Yuxin?"
"This isn't something you can just buy, right? Yi Xuecheng isn't lacking money. Could it be that Meng Yuxin knows him?"
"Even if she did know him, she wouldn't be able to get close through ordinary connections, would she?"
"Where did you hear this gossip? It can't be nonsense, can it?"
"Of course, I'm not joking. Someone from the basketball team mentioned it. If you don't believe me, check the campus website for a post from a basketball team member. It clearly states that the badges are numbered. You can easily verify that they are indeed Yi Xuecheng's badges, registered with the Basketball League."
Since Chu Han's teammate said it, it was probably correct.
Chu Ci slowly opened one eye, intrigued by the conversation happening around her. However, she soon decided to close her eyes again and take a nap. If there were any questions, they could wait until she woke up. No matter what happened, she needed to get enough sleep first to have the energy to deal with anything.
Chu Ci fell asleep and only woke up when Chu Han called her. By that time, most of the students in the classroom had already left. The commuting students had all gone home, and the boarding students had headed to the cafeteria for dinner.
Only a few top students remained in the classroom to finish their homework, hoping to avoid the peak meal times and make the most of their time.
"Are you sleeping again?" Chu Han frowned.
"Yeah," Chu Ci replied lazily.
"Did you play games all night again?"
Chu Ci didn't respond, so Chu Han interpreted her silence as agreement.
"Mom and Dad will be back in a couple of days. They will be very sad to see you like this!"
"Are you sure?" Chu Ci replied.
Chu Han was momentarily taken aback and awkwardly suggested, "Why not focus on studying hard? If you show mom and dad that you're doing well, they might treat you better..."
At that moment, Meng Yuxin walked into Classroom 3-5. "Xiao Han, we should head back now," she said.
Chu Ci narrowed her eyes as she looked at Meng Yuxin and asked, "Did you give Chu Han a set of badges?"
