Chapter Forty-Six: Girl, What Are You Trying to Do?!

Borrow me?! Me?! What’s going on?! Geng Haoshi was completely bewildered.

Yang Mimi glanced at Li Shishi, then at Geng Haoshi, confusion written all over her face.

Lin Ling looked at Li Shishi, then at Yang Mimi, and finally at Geng Haoshi, thinking to herself: One’s a stunning beauty, the other an adorable sweetheart—Junior, you’ve really got some luck! This must be what they call “fortune favors the simple-minded.” (PS: Ever since that time in the cafeteria when Geng Haoshi had lunch with the entire school basketball team, Lin Ling had always mistakenly thought he was someone of low intelligence.)

Geng Haoshi noticed Yang Mimi’s puzzled look and Lin Ling’s mischievous smirk, realizing that they must have misunderstood something.

He didn’t care much about Lin Ling’s misunderstanding, but he was worried that his goddess, Mimi, might have gotten the wrong idea.

Just as Geng Haoshi was about to clarify, Li Shishi looked up at Lin Ling with her big, sparkling eyes. “Sister, is that alright?”

Having just heard Lin Ling refer to herself as “sister” to Geng Haoshi, Li Shishi naturally assumed Lin Ling was his biological sister.

“Oh. My brother is all yours! Use him however you like, don’t be shy,” Lin Ling replied with a wicked grin, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

Damn it, Sister Lin, are you trying to get me killed here?! Geng Haoshi swallowed hard, wishing he could teleport away from this awkward situation.

Li Shishi glanced shyly at Geng Haoshi and lowered her head. “Um, can we talk over there?”

God, girl, if you’re going to talk, just talk—why do you have to blush?! Geng Haoshi thought miserably. Now I’ll never clear my name, no matter what I say.

If this had happened before, with such a cute and sweet girl talking to him, Geng Haoshi would have been over the moon. But with Yang Mimi right beside him, he didn’t want his goddess to misunderstand—even if, for now, she wasn’t his girlfriend.

“Miss, do we know each other?” Geng Haoshi quickly tried to steer the conversation elsewhere.

“So soon and you’ve already forgotten me… How mean,” Li Shishi pouted coquettishly.

A thunderclap seemed to explode in Geng Haoshi’s mind. Damn it all! Now I couldn’t wash myself clean even if I jumped into the Yellow River!

Yang Mimi looked even more bewildered.

Lin Ling continued to smirk: Oh my, looks like there’s a secret story here.

The basketball team members all stared at Geng Haoshi, thinking: Doesn’t this guy already have a goddess (with a *very* impressive figure)? Why’s he going after this petite one too?!

A bunch of nerds looked at me with contempt, like I was some kind of playboy; a tomboy grinned at me with malicious glee; my beloved goddess watched with a puzzled expression; and a tiny girl I didn’t even know gazed at me shyly… The atmosphere made cold sweat trickle down Geng Haoshi’s back.

“Sweetie, my brother might have to get back on the court soon—if you have something to say, just say it here,” Lin Ling suddenly changed her mind, curiosity piqued by what the little girl might want.

Geng Haoshi stared at Lin Ling, eyes wide: Sister Lin, you really are out to get me!

Lin Ling raised her eyebrows at him: Relax, little brother, just go with it! Heh.

“Right, you might have to get back on the court soon. If there’s anything to say, say it now,” Yang Mimi chimed in.

What the heck is happening?! Mimi definitely heard Yu Manman tell me to rest on the sidelines for the fourth quarter, so why is she saying this now? Is she just curious like Lin Ling, or… is my goddess jealous?

9527: Master, I think the first guess is more likely.

Geng Haoshi 2.0: Yes, I agree.

Geng Haoshi: Would you two just shut up already? This has nothing to do with you!

“Say it here?” Li Shishi glanced around at the people surrounding Geng Haoshi and quickly covered her face with her hands. “Oh no, I’m too shy!”

Girl, you’ve come this far—this shyness must be at least half an act! Geng Haoshi looked Li Shishi up and down: She’s indeed cute, but a bit short, and her figure… well…

Li Shishi noticed Geng Haoshi’s gaze lingering on her chest and blushed bright red. “You’re so mean! Don’t stare at me like that!” she said, covering her chest with her arm.

That one sentence, that one gesture, instantly made Geng Haoshi look like some perverted, sleazy youth.

The teammates all glared at him with open disdain; Lin Ling pointed and laughed; Yang Mimi turned away to watch the court, pretending not to see or hear any of this.

“Beeeeeep—” The fourth quarter had begun.

Things were just heating up… but the substitute players reluctantly got up to head onto the court.

Yu Manman could read their minds and shouted, “Get your heads in the game! If you let the score gap shrink, I’ll whip you as many times as you lose points!”

Yu Manman’s words had the desired effect—the substitutes snapped to attention and hurried onto the court, no longer dawdling.

“It’s not like that, Mimi, let me explain—” Geng Haoshi began, but before he could finish, Li Shishi walked over and sat in the empty seat beside Yang Mimi.

Li Shishi wrapped both hands around Yang Mimi’s arm and looked up at her. “Just now I heard you call him ‘second brother,’ so you’re his sister, right?”

“I’m Li Shishi, first-year student.”

“Senior, I know who you are.”

Yang Mimi looked at her, puzzled.

“You’re ranked number one in our school’s campus goddess list—who wouldn’t know you?” Li Shishi smiled sweetly, “Sister Mimi, what do you think of me?”

“You’re lovely,” Yang Mimi replied with a smile.

“Really?” Li Shishi’s face lit up with joy.

Girl, that’s just politeness! Geng Haoshi thought, glancing from Yang Mimi to Li Shishi. With Mimi here, even the 34E beauty coach should step aside, let alone this petite cutie.

Li Shishi noticed Geng Haoshi looking her way and immediately straightened her back, put her hands behind her, and pushed her chest forward.

Geng Haoshi caught her little gestures and thought: Sorry, girl, but no matter how much you push, it’s still a B-cup at best.

Li Shishi leaned into Yang Mimi and whispered in her ear, “I noticed your second brother has been sneaking looks at me all this time. Do you think he likes me?”

Yang Mimi thought: What an honest girl!

When Yang Mimi didn’t answer, Li Shishi continued, “How about letting me be your second brother’s girlfriend?”

Yang Mimi: …

Still receiving no answer, Li Shishi stood up, walked over to Geng Haoshi, and looked him straight in the eyes. Her delicate, adorable face slowly moved closer to his…
