Love So Sweet

644 New Transfer Student

“Xi Xi!”

The loud voice made her turn around. A few seconds later, someone was latching onto her arms.

Bai Xi Xi lowered her gaze and saw that her friend, Lin Xiao Tong staring back at her with her puppy dog eyes. Subconsciously, the corner of her lips tilted up. “Are you done with cleaning up?”

Lin Xiao Tong nodded. “Xi Xi, thank you for helping me.”

“It’s alright.” Bai Xi Xi could not resist from stretching her hand and patting her friend’s head a few times. Lin Xiao Tong was quite short compared to her and touching her head was quite easy. “Then, go back first.”

Lin Xiao Tong finally released Bai Xi Xi’s arms. “Let’s go back together.”

“Didn’t you say that your boyfriend is waiting for you at the gate?” Bai Xi Xi raised a brow. Seeing the shy look on her friend’s face made her chuckle.

Bai Xi Xi began to wonder about the person Lin Xiao Tong was dating. That guy was quite lucky to have an adorable girlfriend like Lin Xiao Tong.

“No. We can still go back together.” Lin Xiao Tong had a serious look on her face. “Yi Shang would not mind this.”

.....

Bai Xi Xi heaved a long, heavy sigh. “Forget it. I don’t want to disturb you and your boyfriend. I don’t want to eat dog food. Xiao Tong, you can go ahead. I still have to go to the teacher’s office and deliver a few things. Teacher Shen had something to discuss with me. It might take a long time.”

It was only then that Lin Xiao Tong finally gave up. “Then, I should go back first?”

“Un.” Bai Xi Xi nodded. “Don’t worry about me.”

“Then, class monitor, thank you for your hard work.” Lin Xiao Tong continued to stare at her friend for a long time. After a brief hesitation, she finally turned around to leave.

Bai Xi Xi stood at the spot until she could no longer see her friend. Then, she turned around and headed to her class to pick up the exercise books piling on the teacher’s desk. With her backpack slung on one shoulder, Bai Xi Xi walked to the teacher’s office to send the books.

When she arrived, Teacher Shen who taught her class mathematics was seen chatting with Teacher Du, her homeroom teacher.

Bai Xi Xi walked over to Teacher Shen’s place and put down the exercise book that she had gathered.

As she came closer, Bai Xi Xi happened to overhear Teacher Shen and Teacher Du’s conversation.

Teacher Du was telling her friend something about a new transfer student. It seemed that this student was supposed to report to the office last week. However, due to the student’s family matter, he could not come to school.

Bai Xi Xi pursed her lips as she pondered over this matter.

They were already in their final year. Who would be transferring schools at a time like this?

Noticing her presence, Teacher Shen stopped her discussion with her friend before turning to Bai Xi Xi. “Did everyone hand over their book?”

Bai Xi Xi nodded. “I’ve checked. Everyone’s exercise book is here.”

Teacher Shen smiled brightly. “Thank you for your help.”

Bai Xi Xi nodded again. She looked at her homeroom teacher and greeted her briefly. Then, she turned around, wanting to leave as her mission was completed.

As for her discussion with Teacher Shen, this was a lie that she had told Lin Xiao Tong so that her friend would not wait for her. She simply did not want to be the third wheel between Lin Xiao Tong and her boyfriend.

However, before she could leave, her homeroom teacher, Teacher Du called her name.

Bai Xi Xi turned around again and waited for Teacher Du to speak.

“It’s like this,” Teacher Du spoke, “Tomorrow, our class will receive a new transfer student. He is not familiar with this school. Xi Xi, you are the class monitor. I was hoping that you can look after him. Just show him around and let him become familiar with the school.”

Bai Xi Xi nodded. “Of course. Teacher Du, you can count on me.”

The teacher smiled happily, knowing that her student would help her to look over the new transfer student. Bai Xi Xi was quite reliable and she was glad to have her as the class monitor.

“But, Teacher Du, what is this new student’s name?” Bai Xi Xi asked.

“Oh, I nearly forgot.” Teacher Du browsed through the papers on her desk. “He’s a male student called Fu Chen.”

...

Bai Xi Xi left the school after talking to Teacher Du about the new transfer student. She walked along the neighborhood and enjoyed the quietness.

In the past, her brother and sister-in-law would urge her to let the driver send her to school and pick her up. However, Bai Xi Xi thought that it was quite troublesome.

She liked walking like this a lot. After staying in class for a long time, walking around would make her feel more at ease. It gave her a bit of fresh air. Other than exercising, she could also look around and observe everything around her.

Bai Xi Xi was walking by the playground when she noticed the orange ball in the center of the court.

She looked around and frowned when she did not see anyone.

Bai Xi Xi wondered if someone had left the ball at the court.

Subconsciously, her legs brought her to the basketball court.

Bai Xi Xi stared at the ball and thought that they looked new. But now that she was standing in the middle of the court with the ball within her reach, Bai Xi Xi’s hand was suddenly aching.

After a brief hesitation, Bai Xi Xi took the ball and started to dribble around the court. The sound of the ball against the floor made her heart beat faster.

Bai Xi Xi tried to practice a few tricks that her sister-in-law and brother had taught her previously. Once she had enough, Bai Xi Xi turned around and shot the ball into the hoop.

She stood at the side to watch the ball enter the hoop.

Her eyes lit up and her lips curled into a smile.

Realizing that she was supposed to hurry home, Bai Xi Xi finally left the basketball court. Unbeknownst to her, there was someone who was watching her practicing.
