When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1369 Unrequited Love 23
Zhou Jinxu was undoubtedly a very qualified teacher. He first demonstrated for Xu Yanzhen, and then stood beside her to correct her movements. He was very gentlemanly in his demeanor and did not have any intention of taking advantage of the situation.

Xu Yanzhen is smart, and although she lacks strength, she has learned the movements very well. It's just that the balls she hits... well, let's just say they're not great.

She doesn't have a strong sense of gain or loss; as long as the process is enjoyable, the result isn't that important.

Zhou Jinxu commented: "You played very well just now, would you like to try again?"

Xu Yanzhen shook her arms: "They're a little sore, can I rest for a while?"

"Zhou Jinxu, I'd like to watch you play basketball, is that alright?"

Zhou Jinxu took the cue from her hand: "Of course, but..."

Xu Yanzhen instinctively said, "No betting!"

She's already been tricked once this morning, she's definitely not going to fall for it again!
Amused by Xu Yanzhen's overreaction, Zhou Jinxu shook his head, his eyes full of subtle amusement: "I'm not betting anything. What I want to say is, I taught Yanzhen how to play ball today, so could Yanzhen treat me to dinner tonight?"

Xu Yanzhen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Zhou Jinxu was going to make some unreasonable request: "You taught me how to play ball today, helped me avoid embarrassment, and broadened my horizons. In return, I should treat you to dinner."

"Even if you don't say it, I will bring it up myself."

Zhou Jinxu reacted quickly: "Then can this meal, which I asked for, be postponed?"

Xu Yanzhen's thoughts stirred, and they both knew perfectly well that the meal was just an excuse; Zhou Jinxu wanted to find an opportunity to spend time with her, and that was his ultimate goal.

She looked up at Zhou Jinxu, who was also looking at her with a serious expression, seemingly a little...apprehensive?
Was she worried that she would reject him? A man who was usually calm and composed was now showing other emotions because of her. Xu Yanzhen felt that this feeling was... not bad.

Xu Yanzhen smiled and said in a very soft voice, "Of course, I usually just teach classes and don't have any plans for the evenings. Just let me know when you're free."

Zhou Jinxu nodded slightly: "Okay, then we'll make an appointment again later."

Kim Tae-hyun, Lee Kwang-rok, and Seo Jung-soo had already finished one round. Now, the three of them stood on the other side like groundhogs, drinking water and relaxing, occasionally offering a few comments.

Kim Tae-hyun said seriously, "I never thought I would see Jin-seo's suitor in person. I thought he would be alone for the rest of his life."

Xu Zhengxiu agreed: "The wait is worth it. Take Teacher Xu for example, who wouldn't like her if they met someone like that?"

Li Guanglu chuckled: "That's true. I used to think Jinxu was heartless, but I didn't expect him to have such high standards."

While the three were whispering amongst themselves, Zhou Jinxu was playing basketball under Xu Yanzhen's watchful gaze. He wasn't nervous at all, just playing normally, but being watched by Xu Yanzhen and feeling her gaze on him made Zhou Jinxu feel particularly good.

"Teacher Xu?"

"Unnie!"

Xu Yanzhen was holding Zhou Jinxu's water cup, watching him play basketball, when suddenly two uncertain voices came from beside her. One of them sounded surprised and gossipy.

Xu Yanzhen felt a chill run down her spine. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shi Yuexin jumping and waving at Shi Cheng. When she saw her, Shi Yuexin's eyes lit up and she immediately ran over.

While Xu Yanzhen's sports uniform felt cramped, Shi Yuexin's fit perfectly, making her look sweet and charming. She rushed over like a playful deer, throwing herself into Xu Yanzhen's arms without a second thought. Xu Yanzhen was knocked back two steps by the impact, but fortunately Zhou Jinxu was nearby and caught her in time, stopping Shi Yuexin's reckless charge.

Shi Cheng shook his head and followed Shi Yuexin over helplessly.

He glanced at Shi Yuexin, who was nestled in Xu Yanzhen's arms, and then at Xu Yanzhen, who looked helpless: "Teacher Xu, we meet again."

"We meet again," Xu Yanzhen said, her emotions fading as she looked at Shi Cheng as if he were a complete stranger. She pulled Shi Yuexin from her arms and asked, "Yuexin, did you and your brother come to play ball today too?"

Shi Yuexin nuzzled Xu Yanzhen's shoulder again before straightening up: "My brother, Jin He, Chu Qian, and Yu Ning came out for a gathering together. Knowing that Chu Qian was also there, I shamelessly followed along."

"My brother couldn't persuade me otherwise, so he called Meng Qingtong, and Brother Yu Ning also brought his wife. We're over there!"

"Unnie, are you on a date with President Zhou?"

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, it's nice to see you again. I forgot to introduce myself last time. I'm the teacher's closest student, and also Unnie's best friend!"

"Unnie, I thought I was seeing things. Kim Hyuk oppa insisted it was you, so I dragged my brother over to see for myself."

As soon as she rattled off her words, everyone immediately understood the relationship between Xu Yanzhen and the brother and sister.

Xu Yanzhen felt a little awkward. How did she and Zhou Jinxu become a date in Shi Yuexin's eyes? But when Shi Yuexin mentioned that Jin He was also at the stadium, Xu Yanzhen suddenly felt like she was in a chaotic situation: "Did you just arrive?"

“Yes, we just arrived.” Shi Yuexin smiled and said, “Unnie, do you want to go over there and say hello? I’ll introduce you to Sister Yingqiu; she’s a really nice person.”

Xu Yanzhen thought to herself, "I must have known Ji Yingqiu in my past life. She's a really nice person and very generous." Putting aside all these awful men, she'd still be willing to associate with Ji Yingqiu.

It's good to get to know each other again in this lifetime.

Therefore, Xu Yanzhen looked at Zhou Jinxu, who was still supporting her waist, and said, "I'll go say hello to them. You wait here for me for a while?"

Zhou Jinxu rubbed the golf club, then looked not far away, where a man with peach blossom eyes was staring intently at him, or more accurately, at the hand that was resting on Xu Yanzhen's waist.

Zhou Jinxu not only didn't let go, but moved even closer to Xu Yanzhen, as if warning his rival.

“We’ve met before, so since we’ve run into each other at the stadium, we should say hello,” Zhou Jinxu said casually. “Yanzhen, would it be convenient for me to come with you?”

Xu Yanzhen couldn't have been happier; she really didn't want to face Jin He alone. It was as if Jin He couldn't understand her refusal, and she wasn't exactly a strong-willed person.

Now that Zhou Jinxu had brought it up, Xu Yanzhen felt as if someone was helping her share the burden: "Convenient, so convenient."

Zhou Jinxu understood; this person genuinely disliked Jin He, and even didn't want to see him. This was...

That's great.

Shi Yuexin stood properly, watching this scene, and suddenly felt sorry for Jin He. It seemed her teacher had absolutely no feelings for Jin He. Although Jin He was very good to her, Shi Yuexin couldn't honestly say that Jin He was a good man.
