88: Is she actually a lesbian?

Zhou Yuhang and Li Haoran walked over first, and Wang Shuo handed each of them a bottle.

Song Xinyu pushed up his glasses, acted a bit reserved, and then walked over to take one as well.

After finishing his bragging, Hao Junran was standing there with his hands on his hips, panting. Seeing the free water, he happily sauntered over.

The smile on Wang Shuo's face grew even wider, almost appearing a bit fawning?

He personally took another bottle out of the crate and unscrewed the cap.

Yu Heng noticed that before unscrewing it, he even wiped the mouth of the bottle with a tissue before handing it to Hao Junran: "Hard work, here's one for you!"

?

Wang Shuo unscrewing the cap for Hao Junran?

And even wiping the bottle?

That's some thorough service.

Could this kid have some kind of designs on Hao Junran?

Looking at that gaze... Tsk, Yu Heng got goosebumps.

Hao Junran took it carelessly without thinking much, chugging half the bottle in one go. After finishing, he let out a burp: "Refreshing!"

Watching this scene, the sense of weirdness in Yu Heng's heart grew stronger.

He took another sip of water, his eyes scanning Meng Shirui.

With Meng Shirui's figure, those jeans really showed off how long her legs were.

At the moment, she had taken off her jacket and draped it over her arm.

Underneath was a form-fitting sweater; her waist was so thin it felt like it could be spanned by a single hand.

The chest area was quite full—while not as large as Ning Yutong's, it wasn't small either.

The teacher blew the whistle, ending the break.

Meng Shirui also turned and walked toward the exit.

Just as she stepped out, Yu Heng turned his head and caught sight of Shen Yueling walking in.

Shen Yueling scanned the gym, walked straight toward the bench on the sidelines, and stopped next to Ning Yutong.

Ning Yutong looked up and saw it was Shen Yueling. Her eyes crinkled into a smile as she whispered, "Yue Ling, you're here."

Shen Yueling gave an "mm," her gaze landing on Yu Heng on the court.

Yu Heng walked over holding the ball, his tone surprised: "Why are you here?"

Hearing this, Ning Yutong explained from the side: "Yue Ling said she wanted to check out the club recruitment scene tonight. I told her we were at the Basketball Gym and asked if she wanted to come over."

Shen Yueling looked at Yu Heng and said flatly, "Go back to your practice. I'll watch from here for a bit."

"Alright, then you two stay here." Yu Heng's tone was a bit cheeky and teasing. "Don't you two start a fight, now. Be good."

Shen Yueling immediately glared at him, while Ning Yutong's face turned slightly red as she muttered softly, "What are you talking about..."

Yu Heng was amused by their reactions and ran back onto the court with the ball.

After practicing for another ten minutes or so, Yu Heng noticed that Meng Shirui had returned.

She was holding an unopened bottle of mineral water, her expression still aloof.

Then, she actually walked over to Shen Yueling and sat down!

While dribbling, Yu Heng kept glancing at the bench out of the corner of his eye.

What are those three talking about?

It couldn't possibly be basketball tactics.

Yu Heng squinted, slightly distracted, and sent a quick bounce pass to Wang Shuo, who was in an open spot.

Wang Shuo's hand position was slightly off when catching the ball. With a dull thud, the basketball jammed directly into his finger.

"Hiss!"

Wang Shuo shook his hand, his right index finger turning red and swollen.

"Damn, did you jam it?" Hao Junran, who was closest, hurried over and grabbed Wang Shuo's wrist to take a look. "Do you need to go to the infirmary?"

"It looks a bit swollen," Yu Heng also walked over and glanced at it. "I have some Swelling and Pain Relief Tincture with me. Want to spray some on first?"

Hearing this, Hao Junran made a snap decision: "Sure! Let's go to the sidelines and take care of it first!"

As he spoke, he supported Wang Shuo and walked toward the bench. A subtle expression flashed across Wang Shuo's face.

Several people gathered around the bench, and Yu Heng took the bottle of tincture out of a plastic bag kept under the seat.

Seeing that someone was injured, the three girls also stood up. Ning Yutong thought to herself that the medicine really did come in handy.

Meng Shirui's brow furrowed slightly. She took half a step forward, intending to take the bottle from Yu Heng.

However, Hao Junran was faster than her. He took the bottle and cotton swabs from Yu Heng.

He unscrewed the cap, took out a cotton swab, dipped it in the medicine, then lifted Wang Shuo's injured hand and applied it.

Wang Shuo's gaze dropped to Hao Junran's hand, and the tips of his ears seemed a bit red?

Yu Heng smirked and moved half a step closer to Shen Yueling, lowering his voice: "What did Meng Shirui say to you two just now?"

Shen Yueling turned her head and whispered back, "Nothing much. She asked for my WeChat."

Yu Heng raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised: "Asked for your WeChat?"

Meng Shirui asking Shen Yueling for her WeChat?

Was she trying to get close to him through her?

"Yeah," Shen Yueling replied. "I didn't give it to her, so she started asking all sorts of questions."

"What did she ask?" Yu Heng pressed.

"Asked what department I'm in, what my name is," she paused. "She was asking for a lot of details. It was weird."

Hearing this, Yu Heng's brow furrowed instinctively.

"That detailed?" He glanced at Meng Shirui, who was looking down at her phone screen. "Is she conducting a census?"

Shen Yueling didn't respond, just curled her lip slightly.

She also felt that Meng Shirui's sudden approach and questioning lacked boundaries.

At that moment, Meng Shirui asked Wang Shuo with some concern, "How is it?"

"It's fine, Sis. Just jammed it, it's a bit of a throbbing pain." Wang Shuo looked up and smiled, then asked with some confusion, "Sis, why did you come back?"

Meng Shirui paused before saying flatly, "I don't have anything urgent this afternoon, so I'll stay here and watch you train for a bit."

She couldn't very well say she had seen a cold, aloof beauty at the door and came back specifically for her, could she?

"Sis?" Hearing the address, Hao Junran raised an eyebrow and asked, "Since when did you two start calling each other brother and sister?"

Wang Shuo turned his head and nodded as if it were obvious: "Yeah, she's my sister."

"Huh?" Hao Junran's eyes widened. "You two are siblings? Biological?"

Wang Shuo explained, "Yes, fraternal twins. I took my father's surname, and she took my mother's."

Fraternal twins?!

Yu Heng's brow furrowed.

It clicked.

Dammit, it all clicked!

It was as if something in Yu Heng's mind had snapped into place with a click.

That inexplicable sense of weirdness suddenly became clear.

No wonder in his previous life, Meng Shirui had suddenly confessed to him, and after being rejected, she didn't feel any embarrassment or sense of failure at all—in fact, she kept contacting him.

Whenever he and Shen Yueling went out to eat or something, Meng Shirui would always tag along as if it were nothing.

He had always thought she really liked him and was being persistent.

In reality, she was a lesbian?

She wasn't trying to pursue him; her target was actually Shen Yueling?

He remembered that around the start of the winter break, Meng Shirui had suddenly distanced herself from him. At the time, he thought she had given up.

Now that he thought about it, Shen Yueling's state had been off during that period too. For those six months or so, their relationship wasn't exactly close, but they were considered friends, and then they suddenly stopped talking.

Most likely, Meng Shirui had revealed her true intentions and been rejected by Shen Yueling.

In his previous life, Meng Shirui only approached him after she found out he knew Shen Yueling.

But after being reborn, many things had changed. Until just now, Meng Shirui didn't even know he and Shen Yueling knew each other; he had met her on his own.

So the plot from his previous life wouldn't happen.

Luckily, he hadn't had much contact with Meng Shirui since his rebirth. Otherwise, if he had actually thought she liked him and tried to court her, he would have looked like a total clown.

Yu Heng looked at the siblings and couldn't help but chuckle, feeling a bit sorry for their parents.

Who would have thought that having both a son and a daughter would still come with the possibility of the family line ending...
