Chapter 66: Act VIII: The Cat Who Wants To Become Human (10)

The small rectangular box held the sincere heart of the boy.

But when Xiang Cai stared at the box, he saw not only a sweet candy, but the promise he couldn't give under the sugar coating.

Everyone around was applauding, shouting, "Promise him, promise him!"

Xiang Cai was surrounded by smiling faces. A red banner hung on the wall behind them, which read 'Friendship first, competition second! Welcoming the seniors of the provincial team to our school to give guidance.'

There were only a few of them in the whole gymnasium, but the enthusiasm that spread filled it up.

Xiang Cai was also burned by this enthusiasm.

As he stared at the silver key, a voice in his heart kept saying - accept it, accept him, are you willing to make Cen Manchuan look bad in front of so many people? He chose to offer a promise to you at such a monumental moment. Don't you see how much he values you? It's not that he doesn't love you, he is just using the wrong method; he is still young, you can spend a lifetime with him growing up...

Xiang Cai seemed to be bewitched by that voice.

He stretched out his hand, his fingertips getting closer and closer to the silver-white key, while the light in Cen Manchuan's eyes grew brighter.

—The next second, Xiang Cai's fingers crossed over the box, directly grabbing the basketball boy's wrist.

Don't look at Xiang Cai as very thin, in fact, he had great strength and could easily lift up his female dance partner.

Cen Manchuan was caught off guard and subconsciously stood up, stunned.

"Follow me," Xiang Cai whispered, and then tightly grasped his lover's wrist, leading him towards the lounge.

Cen Manchuan was led by him in a daze. He felt that Xiang Cai's face was a bit wrong, but when he looked down at their clasped hands, felt that he was thinking too much.

On the court, the young people watching this scene were stunned. They were still holding their mobile phones, looking left and right with blank expressions.

Several basketball players whispered to each other, asking each other, "So was that a promise or not?"

"It must have been a promise. The captain's lover is probably shy, it is estimated that the young couple wants to 'communicate' in private."

"Damn, you are so disgusting...I have pictures!"

The few boys talked and laughed, saying the jokes that boys of their age loved to say.

Instead, their girlfriends standing on the sidelines exchanged anxious glances that only girls understood.

...

This was the first time that Xiang Cai had entered the basketball team's lounge.

Since this was their home court, then naturally, their home lounge was also used. There were rows of lockers standing against the wall, and beside them were two rows of resting chairs, along with a mobile blackboard for the coaches to write and draw on. Because it was the graduation season, there were many decorations on the wall, like balloons, banners, colorful flowers ... The photo of the basketball team was hung in the middle of the wall. In the photo, Cen Manchuan stood in the front row, holding a golden trophy in his hands with everyone crowded around him.

Xiang Cai stopped there.

He turned to look at Cen Manchuan. The boy was stubbornly holding up the small box. Each of the two keys were covered with a round key ring, like rings.
