Love So Sweet-Chapter 678 - Distracted

678 Distracted

Bai Xiang announced that there were two minutes left.

The two of them had initially agreed to have this match for ten minutes.

Fu Chen charged forward to grab the basketball from Bai Xi Xi. He knew that his score was behind and wanted to use the remaining time to bring their score closer.

Seeing that the girl was chasing after him, Fu Chen did not hesitate to jump up and tossed the ball. His heartbeat accelerated as he watched the ball encircling the hoop. Finally, a breath of relief escaped him when the basketball fell into the hoop.

It was rare for him to score a three-pointer. Fu Chen was glad that this time, the ball had entered the hoop, allowing him to chase Bai Xi Xi’s score.

At the side, his siblings were cheering for him.

However, Fu Chen knew that it was not time for him to relax yet.

He watched as Bai Xi Xi dribbled the basketball, heading to the center of the court. Seeing the girl’s languid posture made him frown.

Fu Chen could see that Bai Xi Xi was really enjoying herself during this match. She made a few tricks, but they were not the tricks that he wanted to see her perform.

.....

He wanted to see Bai Xi Xi giving it all out but knew that it was impossible at his current level.

Fu Chen quickly blocked Bai Xi Xi’s path, wanting to stop her from scoring. He tried to steal the ball a few times but each of his attempts had failed.

He gritted his teeth and looked up to meet Bai Xi Xi’s gaze.

Their eyes met and for a moment, Bai Xi Xi flashed him a smile.

His heart skipped a beat.

Fu Chen was momentarily stunned to see the dazzling smile on Bai Xi Xi’s face. Because of that, Bai Xi Xi managed to go past him to the goal. She took the chance while Fu Chen was a little distracted to pass through his defense.

Bai Xi Xi’s long hair swayed with the motion.

Fu Chen turned around and just in time, the end of Bai Xi Xi’s hair touched his cheek.

The gentle breeze blew over. Because they were too close, Fu Chen thought that he could smell the sweet scent of her hair.

A random thought came to his mind and Fu Chen was now wondering about the shampoo that Bai Xi Xi was wearing.

Bai Xi Xi jumped up high before she tossed the ball into the hoop.

Then, Bai Xian shouted that the time was over and his aunt had won the game with five points ahead.

Fu Chen stood at the same spot with his head down. At this time, he was wondering just what got into him that made him distracted. With the way he was unable to focus, of course, he would lose the game.

“Fu Chen.”

Hearing the voice, Fu Chen raised his head to look at Bai Xi Xi. The girl had her hair tied into a high ponytail before they had the match. Each time that she moved, her hair would sway gently.

Bai Xi Xi smiled. “Don’t forget what you have promised.”

Fu Chen blinked as he tried to recall what he had promised.

“You promised that you would treat me and my nephew to some ice cream.”

It was then that Fu Chen remembered that he had indeed made such a promise. “I know. I haven’t forgotten about it.” He was just a little distracted.

Fu Chen quickly made an excuse for himself, that his loss was the reason he was distracted. If it was not for that smile...

At the side, Fu Yan overheard Fu Chen’s words and smiled. “Big Brother, you’re going to treat us to some ice creams?”

Fu Chen looked at his siblings. Then, to Bai Xi Xi and her nephews. There were nine people around. But Fu Bao was still too small and would not be able to finish his ice cream.

He could not treat Bai Xi Xi and her nephews to some ice cream without buying it for his siblings. The kids would cry and throw tantrums.

It seemed that he will have to spend a lot of money this time. Fu Chen wanted to cry for his wallet.

Fu Chen inhaled a deep breath as he readily accepted his fate. “Alright then. Let’s go.”

The kids cheered.

Fu Ying carried the toddler, Fu Bao in her arms and the group headed to the ice cream shop together. Fu Chen looked at the kids and was amazed at how they were able to get along with Bai Xi Xi’s two nephews easily.

It was Bai Xiang who led the pack.

Meanwhile, Bai Xi Xi and Fu Chen walked at the back as they both monitored the children.

Once the group arrived, the shop became a little livelier.

Fortunately, there was not a long queue.

Bai Xiang let the kids queue up properly and surprisingly, everyone was listening to him.

Fu Chen thought that if it was he who had to come with the kids alone, those kids would definitely run around and ignore his instruction.

After queuing for a while, it was finally their turn.

The staff from the ice cream shop looked at the kids with her eyes wide, as she was not expecting that there would be a lot of kids.

Everyone was talking at the same time to choose the flavor of ice cream they wanted, causing the staff to be a little confused.

“Alright. Let’s not talk at the same time,” Bai Xiang spoke. “Line up and chose which one you like best. Then, this Sister would scoop an ice cream for everyone.”

The kids were listening to Bai Xiang’s words once again and the staff shot him a grateful look.

Bai Xiang stood at the side as he instructed the kids to choose the ice cream they wanted one person at a time.

Seeing this situation made Fu Chen admire the little boy a lot more. He turned to Bai Xi Xi and spoke, “Class Monitor, your nephew is awesome. It seemed that he had some leadership quality.”

Bai Xi Xi smiled, knowing that this quality was something that Bai Xiang had inherited from his mother.
