Love So Sweet

But later, Yan Li heard that Fu Chen was asking for a few boys to join them and had agreed to help. Yan Li also brought a few of his friends to join Fu Chen’s team. With Bai Xi Xi also on the team, Fu Chen managed to gather five people.

Lin Xiao Tong heaved a sigh in relief, knowing that she did not have to be a part of the team.

Although she had told Yang Xu that she would be willing to join Fu Chen’s team to help him, the truth was that she did not think that she was qualified to join the team.

Her stamina really isn’t that great. Moreover, she was too short for the basketball team.

But at least, she was good at cheering. Her voice was loud and she had a lot of energy. Lin Xiao Tong had asked for Su You Lin and Du Yao Yao to accompany her to cheer for Bai Xi Xi and the team.

After gathering his teammates, Fu Chen brought them to meet with Bai Xi Xi.

Since they could not use the basketball court in the school, Fu Chen suggested they go to the park where he often met Bai Xi Xi on the weekend.

The group of boys followed Fu Chen to the park and saw that their Class Monitor was already waiting in the park. Lin Xiao Tong and the girls were coming as well, wanting to join the fun while giving everyone their support.

.....

Fu Chen turned to the boys and introduced Bai Xi Xi to everyone. “Boys, this is the final member of our team. Our Class Monitor.”

Everyone had a surprised look on their faces.

Previously, Fu Chen had told them that the final member was a secret. However, they would never have guessed that the final member to be their class monitor.

“Class Monitor... are you really joining Fu Chen’s team?” Yan Li asked. He looked at Bai Xi Xi up and down, wondering if Fu Chen was telling the truth.

Bai Xi Xi was indeed taller than most of them. However, the thought that there will be a girl on the team made them have their doubts.

Some of the boys were wondering if Fu Chen was pulling just anyone to get into his team to defeat Yang Xu and the others.

Bai Xi Xi naturally knew that everyone did not have any confidence in her.

Other than Fu Chen, none of them seemed to know that she could play basketball really well.

“I am just like you and the others,” Bai Xi Xi said with a smile. “I only know some basics.” She turned to Fu Chen and tilted her head sideways. “Classmate Fu Chen will be teaching us what we need to know, right? Classmate Fu Chen, I believe in you.”

Fu Chen had to suppress his laughter upon hearing what Bai Xi Xi had said.

Their gazes met and Fu Chen could see the hint of warning in Bai Xi Xi’s eyes.

He then recalled that Bai Xi Xi had once told him that she did not want anyone in school to know that she could play basketball well.

The boys turned to look at each other.

Then, they all remembered that Bai Xi Xi was quite athletic and decided that perhaps, it would not be so bad if she joined their team.

With that thought in mind, everyone started to head to the basketball court to practice.

Fu Chen walked over to Bai Xi Xi’s side and whispered, “Class Monitor, what should we do now? How do you think we should begin this training session? I really don’t know how to start.”

“Fu Chen, this is your team and this is your chance to join the basketball team,” Bai Xi Xi said. “I will let you handle on how you wanted to train everyone.”

“Ah?” Fu Chen stared at Bai Xi Xi in disbelief. He thought that Bai Xi Xi was going to help him train his team. He did not expect that Bai Xi Xi would let him handle everything.

“But... if you need some help and advice, I am willing to give you some advice.”

Fu Chen could not find any words to say.

Seeing the speechless look on his face made Bai Xi Xi smile. “You have taught your siblings to play basketball recently, right? Just think of them as if they were your siblings. I’m sure that you will do fine.”

Fu Chen thought that this advice was not helping him that much.

After all, the group of boys was different than his siblings.

Bai Xi Xi clenched her hand into a fist and smiled. “Fu Chen, you can do this. You have my support!”

Without waiting for Fu Chen to reply, Bai Xi Xi headed to the basketball court to join the others.

Meanwhile, Fu Chen stood at the side while wondering what he wanted to do.

He felt a little helpless as this was not the situation that he had expected. However, when he recalled how Bai Xi Xi had encouragement as well as her trust in him, Fu Chen thought that perhaps, he could really do this.

From the very beginning, Bai Xi Xi had shown her confidence that he would be able to win this match against Xu Yuan and the others.

Fu Chen did not want to disappoint Bai Xi Xi.

He wanted to make her proud of him.

Fu Chen thought of Bai Xi Xi’s smile when he was finally accepted into the basketball team. It was like a driving force that made him want to do better.

He inhaled a deep breath and tried to keep a calm mind as he tried to figure out what he wanted to do next.

First, it was better for him to understand his team’s strengths.
