In the classroom, Pei Siyuan looked at the registration form Xie Yingzhou brought over, and was a bit lost in thought: “Inter-school basketball tournament?”

“Yeah, at noon the day after tomorrow. The principal of our school has a good relationship with the principal of the No. 1 Middle School next door, so every year they will have such a competition.” Xie Yingzhou leaned on the desk and looked at him, “How about it, are you interested in participating? Although we are already in the third year of high school, it’s okay to relax every now and then.” 

No. 1 Middle School ah….wasn’t that her school?

Of course Pei Siyuan couldn’t miss such a good opportunity, so he directly signed his name on the registration form: “Go.”

He cherished every meeting with her, so the days of waiting were always torturous, but when that day really came, Pei Siyuan couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

He did not feel the obstruction of the mysterious power.

She didn’t come to the basketball game.

Although that power was annoying, it was also a tool for him to predict whether she would appear or not, and he didn’t feel anything today, so she was naturally not on the basketball court.

Probably she wouldn’t come in the future either …… 

After coming to this conclusion, Pei Siyuan lost his desire to play basketball, but unfortunately the game was currently in full swing, and he had to cooperate with others even if he was in no mood.

While running, a familiar face suddenly flashed in front of him, his footsteps stopped, and his heart, which had been beating violently due to the intense running, beat even faster at this moment, almost breaking through his chest. And everything around that person blurred, only her figure was still so clear –

It was her, it was her… it was her!

She actually came!

Why did she come? Did he make a mistake in his awareness?

“Pei Siyuan, catch the ball!”

During the daze, his teammate threw the basketball to him, Pei Siyuan subconsciously reached out and took it, rushed to the basket in two three steps, jumped and dunked the basketball in his hand…

“The game is over, the red team wins!”

The moment he dunked the basketball, Pei Siyuan heard the referee blowing his whistle, announcing that his team had won, and at the same time the basketball court erupted with loud cheers and applause.

“Good shot!”

“That was awesome!”

Pei Siyuan bent down and panted, but his gaze involuntarily fell outside the court, searching for her figure in the crowd.

Was she gone?

She was not gone, she was still there.

At this time, she was laughing and chatting with the girl beside her. He didn’t know if it was his illusion but he felt that she suddenly glanced in his direction, then she lowered her head and he saw her fair face flushed red, like a beautiful evening sunset in the west.

Pei Siyuan felt that everything in front of him was extremely unreal. He stared at her blankly, not even blinking his eyes, for fear that it was just his fantasy- how could she appear in front of him for so long? All the moments when he saw her in the past were not as long as today.

Pei Siyuan suddenly realized something –

So, today, was his official first meeting with her?

Pei Siyuan wanted to go to her, but at this time his teammates had gathered around to share the joy of victory with him, Pei Siyuan could only watch as she turned away once again and disappeared from his view.

He was vexed.

Very vexed.

After that day’s basketball game, the power that once blocked him in every possible way disappeared, and he also lost the way to detect her presence. These days, no matter where he went, he was unhindered, but at the same time, no matter where he went, he never again saw her again.

He couldn’t find her.

This was really bad luck.

After thinking about it, Pei Siyuan went to the next class to find Gu Ningcheng to walk out of the school with him. He remembered that she came to his school to look for Gu Ningcheng several times, and hoped to run into her today…

Pei Siyuan was waiting alone at the school gate when someone came up behind him, took his hand and shook it.

“Brother! Have you been waiting for a long time?”

It was her.

Pei Siyuan’s heartbeat accelerated again, and he recognized her as soon as he heard the voice of the person coming. The girl’s voice was pleasant to the ear, and the soft touch of the palm of her hand made him even more at a loss.

“Brother, why aren’t you saying anything?”

The girl’s voice became a little confused. She walked around and came in front of him, and only after seeing his face did she realize that she had identified the wrong person. She hurriedly let go of Pei Siyuan’s hand and stood a little far away from him, “I’m sorry, I…I recognized the wrong person…”

Pei Siyuan saw her lowered her head and her little face turned red again. He felt as if a kitten had scratched his heart, making it itched. Obviously this was the scene that he has been looking forward to thousands of times, but at this time his always shrewd brain seemed to have suddenly stopped working, so that he didn’t know what to say.

How could she be so cute?

Pei Siyuan tried his best to control his urge to go forward and hug her, and said softly, “It’s fine.” 

The two stood facing each other, neither of them knew what to say. When Gu Ningcheng came back, what he saw was such an awkward scene. He glanced at Pei Siyuan and Gu Ningyou and asked suspiciously, “What are you doing here?”

“She recognized me as you just now.” Pei Siyuan took the initiative to explain, but did not mention Gu Ningyou holding his hand.

“I didn’t pay attention…Brother, why did you let someone else carry your school bag? Causing me to recognize the wrong person, so embarrassing ……”

Gu Ningyou ran behind Gu Ningcheng, her pretty face was blocked by Gu Ningcheng’s body which made Pei Siyuan feel a little regretful.

“I went to buy water just now and brought him a bottle, so he helped me carry my school bag for a while.” Gu Ningcheng handed the water bottle in his hand to Pei Siyuan and took his schoolbag.

“Oh…” Gu Ningyou poked her head out and found that Pei Siyuan was looking at her, and shyly hid behind her brother again, “Brother, who is he?”

“He is my classmate from the next class, his name is Pei Siyuan.” Gu Ningcheng thought for a while, and then said to Pei Siyuan, “This is my sister, Gu Ningyou.”

With Gu Ningcheng around, Pei Siyuan couldn’t do anything even if he wanted to. After a brief introduction to each other, the brother and sister said goodbye to him, and Pei Siyuan watched them leave until the car completely disappeared from his sight, and then he had the strength to move.

That night, Pei Siyuan received a message from Gu Ningcheng: [My sister said she wanted to add you as a friend. ]

Pei Siyuan replied: [Okay. ]

He was still thinking of finding an excuse to ask for her contact information, but he didn’t expect her to be the one who took the initiative first.

After adding friends, the two basically didn’t chat much, but the few conversations made Pei Siyuan felt that it was not enough.

He liked her, liked her, really, really liked her…

Pei Siyuan became hot-headed and sent over a straightforward invitation:  [Do you have time on Saturday afternoon, do you want to have afternoon tea together? ]

Gu Ningyou sent a positive reply: [Yes.] 

When he received Gu Ningyou’s reply, Pei Siyuan’s mood became more and more happy.

He knew that he was a little impatient, she was still very young, and he and her had only officially known each other for a few days, have not even met a few times, but he really liked her, he wanted to show his feelings to her, he wanted to be with her …… he did not want to wait a moment more!

She was so beautiful, he was afraid that if he didn’t take the initiative, she would become someone else’s.

“No.”

Pei Siyuan was thinking about what to say when confessing, when a cold voice interrupted his thoughts. He looked around his room suspiciously, but couldn’t find where the voice came from.

Pei Siyuan has long known that this world was unscientific, so he immediately thought of the mysterious power that had prevented him from seeing Gu Ningyou several times, and a little bit of vigilance arose in his heart: “Where are you? Who are you??”
