Chapter 173 Han Xin continues to guard against
When Zhai Xingchen's car slowly came into view, Han Xin's heart beat faster involuntarily. She hurried to the car, as if all her expectations and longings were there. The servant opened the door for her, and she almost couldn't wait to jump in, as if this would allow her to immediately integrate into Zhai Xingchen's world.
As soon as they got in the car, Han Xin took Zhai Xingchen's arm without hesitation, with a sweet smile on her face, trying to use this intimate physical contact to narrow the distance between their hearts. However, although Zhai Xingchen responded dotingly on the surface, his heart was cold, as if there was an invisible membrane separating them.
Zhai Xingchen did not choose to push away Han Xin's outstretched hand. He silently accepted this closeness, and the two drove silently all the way to the high-end shopping mall that Han Xin mentioned before. There was an indescribable silence in the car, as if everyone's thoughts were hidden in their hearts and were unwilling to show them easily.
It was not until the car slowly stopped and approached the entrance of the mall that Han Xin finally adjusted her mood. She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound natural: "Brother Xingchen, the gift you said you would go back to get has not been given to me yet!" There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone, trying to break the dull atmosphere.
Zhai Xingchen was stunned for a second, then quickly reacted. He took out a delicate little box from his pocket. It was a small music box, only the size of a thumb. He gently placed it in Han Xin's palm, as if conveying a kind of silent comfort.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Han Xin's eyes, but it was quickly covered up by the happiness she tried to show. She looked down at the music box in her hand, a smile on her lips, trying to make herself look like she didn't mind the simplicity of this gift.
"Thank you, Brother Xingchen. I like this music box very much." Han Xin's voice trembled a little, but she tried hard to keep smiling, not wanting Zhai Xingchen to see her inner disappointment.
In the following days, Han Xin strengthened her determination. She decided to protect and win Zhai Xingchen's heart in a more delicate and comprehensive way.
She always remained alert and guarded herself to ensure that Zhai Xingchen's sight was always on her. Whether at work or in daily life, she tried to keep close contact with him, listening carefully to his every word and observing his every subtle movement.
Although she was sensitive to Zhai Xingchen's absent-mindedness from time to time, she did not give up. She tried to find common topics and tried to break the awkward atmosphere with humorous words to make their conversation more smooth and natural.
However, when Lu Qingxi's figure inevitably appeared in their field of vision, Han Xin's bitterness could not be suppressed. She clearly saw Zhai Xingchen's eyes unconsciously drifting towards Lu Qingxi, and the helplessness and loss almost made her collapse.
But Han Xin was a strong girl, she told herself that she couldn't just give up. She took a deep breath, tried to calm her inner emotions, and then showed a gentle smile again. She continued to talk with Zhai Xingchen, using her love and patience to warm his seemingly frozen heart.
She knew that it was not easy to touch a person's heart, especially someone with a complicated heart like Zhai Xingchen. But she believed that as long as she persisted and treated him with sincerity, one day she would be able to melt the coldness in his heart and make him truly feel her love and warmth.
Although the final physical test of the second semester of the second year was not as grand and exciting as the sports meeting, it also ignited the passion and vitality of the students. The school deliberately arranged this physical test on Friday, a whole day, enough time for everyone to show their style.
Most girls chose indoor events, while boys preferred to sweat on the outdoor track to show their speed and strength. However, the reason why this physical test was so eye-catching was because of a special audience member - Lu Qingxi.
The news that Lu Qingxi would come to see Jimo Chu's physical test performance spread quickly throughout the campus. The boys began to think about showing their best in front of Lu Qingxi and attracting her attention.
As the head of the Sports Department, Xiao Xu was naturally the best among them. He deliberately put his name in the same group with Jimo Chuan, hoping to compete with him. Xiao Xu was fully confident in his physical strength. He believed that in this competition, he would definitely be able to crush his opponent and let Lu Qingxi see his strength.
Helian Che and Chu Ye followed closely behind. Although they were not as confident as Xiao Xu, they also hoped to show their charm in front of Lu Qingxi and leave a deep impression on her.
Before the race started, many people had gathered on the track. Most of the girls came to admire the three handsome guys from F4, while most of the boys came to watch Lu Qingxi on the other side of the track. Jimo stood at the starting line, looking at the "flies" who were deliberately standing next to him. Although he was a little unhappy, he had no choice but to endure it.
However, when he looked up and saw Lu Qingxi standing beside the runway, a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that Qingxi was looking at him, which gave him endless motivation and determination. He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and prepared to meet the upcoming challenges.
After the gun went off, Xiao Xu rushed out of the starting line like an arrow from a bow and quickly took the lead. Jimo Chu followed closely behind, trying to maintain his position in the top three, unwilling to let anyone easily surpass him. Helian Che and Chu Ye also followed closely behind, running side by side, sometimes speeding up and sometimes slowing down, trying to find the best rhythm.
The competition on the track was fierce, and everyone was running at full speed. Their sweat was sprinkled on the track and in Lu Qingxi's heart. She stood quietly by, her eyes always following Jimo Chu's figure, silently cheering him on in her heart.
As long as the boys thought that Lu Qingxi was watching them, they felt as if they had endless energy. They ran hard one after another, trying their best to show their best condition.
In the end, Jimo Chuan came in second with a slight gap, but his performance was outstanding enough to win the cheers and applause of the crowd. Lu Qingxi put his opponent behind him and touched his lower back, rubbing it gently and then looked at him, with appreciation and approval in his eyes.
Although there are many physical tests for girls, there are only a few indoor ones. Han Xin wanted to cleverly avoid Lu Qingxi, but unfortunately, fate played a trick on them and they bumped into the same item. What's more coincidental is that because they were in the same class, they were arranged to take the physical test in the same group. When Han Xin saw that Lu Qingxi also appeared on the list of swimming events, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis. She immediately nervously grabbed Zhai Xingchen and begged him not to watch the swimming competition.
