Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2907 No dragging, no ambiguity

what?

Charlene was surprised by these words.

She widened her eyes slightly, even with a hint of surprise, completely unexpected that Zhou Si would say such a thing.

The others also looked at him.

Zhou Si remained calm, as if his previous statement was perfectly natural, and asked in return, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhixin said: There are many problems.

They felt that Zhou Si's suggestion was rather sudden, and even somewhat inappropriate.

At this point, shouldn't we be trying to bring them together and help our own brothers?

Why did they push Xia Lin to someone else instead? They even told her to invite that senior to dinner.

What is this operation???

Marcy, however, understood Zhou Si's intention in doing so. She felt that some things did indeed need a push so that Shi Ye could see his own heart clearly.

Therefore, she nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's a pity that the senior student lost despite his hard work."

But it's just a meal, it won't cost you anything, right?

"Go for it!"

This……

Charlene was still somewhat hesitant after hearing this.

She pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "But even if I lose, they might not invite me."

So, we'll see when the time comes!

Upon hearing this, Ma Xi and Zhou Si nodded, without asking any further questions or offering their opinions.

Tokino did not participate in the conversation at all.

However, he could clearly feel that the tightness in his chest was becoming more and more pronounced.

Later that evening, the basketball game finally came to an end.

After a fierce battle, the sports school team won the championship thanks to their outstanding performance and stable tactical execution.

After it was over, Charlene left with Marcy and the others.

After all, the opening act had attracted a lot of attention, and she was worried that she might be surrounded by a crowd when the show ended, causing unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, they chose to leave early.

As the closing ceremony ended, You Qian subconsciously looked up towards the stands.

The spot where Charlene used to sit is no longer occupied by her.

You Qian's eyes dimmed, and he felt dejected.

Before the competition, he confidently predicted that he would achieve a good result, but now he only got second place.

I imagine that Xia Lin, the junior student, was also disappointed with this result.

After that, I didn't know how to face her anymore.

Andrew noticed his worry and gently comforted him, "Don't be too pessimistic, second place is great too! You can still go and invite them."

If all else fails, I'll help you bring it up. Use a team dinner as an excuse; that way it won't seem too obvious.

Andrew smiled and then added, half-jokingly, "Or are you just going to give up like this?"

This isn't like you at all!

Upon hearing this, You Qian's expression became visibly more determined, and he shook his head, saying, "Of course I won't give up, but..."

He paused, then continued, "I think it's best to face Xia Lin personally first."

Andrew smiled with satisfaction and encouraged him, "That's right!"

Be brave when it comes to relationships; you never know what might happen.

If it really doesn't happen, that's okay too; at least you won't have any regrets.

"I'll handle the rest of the basketball team matters. You should go find her!"

You Qian nodded, a hint of determination in his eyes, and replied, "Okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he turned and walked quickly toward the exit of the stadium, his figure soon disappearing into the sunset outside the door.

After Charlene and Marcy came out, they discussed whether they should go have a meal first before parting ways.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai quickly waved her hand and said, "I can't. I have plans tonight. Vincent has already come to pick me up and is on his way."

As he spoke, he glanced down at his phone, indicating to everyone that he indeed had other plans.

Immediately afterwards, Hsiao Chih also said, "I can't either. The research institute just notified me that there seems to be a problem with one set of experimental data, that there is an anomaly, and I have to rush back to take a look."

Marcy looked at the remaining people and said with a smile, "Alright, it's just the four of us now."

Charlene is fine with anything.

She said with a smile, "If you two don't want to be third wheels, we can leave without disturbing your time together."

Just as Marcy was about to answer, she heard a slightly hurried shout from not far away, "Junior Charlene!"

Xia Lin turned around at the sound and saw that it was Senior You Qian, who was running towards them quickly.

You Qian ran up to the group, slightly out of breath.

He first nodded politely to everyone, then his gaze fell on Xia Lin, and he said in a serious tone, "Junior Xia Lin, could I take up a little of your time?"

I'd like to speak with you alone for a couple of minutes.

Charlene hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse, and followed You Qian to the side.

You Qian was a little embarrassed and subconsciously raised his hand to scratch the back of his head, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, I broke my promise... I promised to win this match, but I still lost."

There was still a lingering sense of frustration in his eyes, and his voice was lower than usual.

Seeing his expression, Xia Lin smiled and said, "Senior, you guys are already very impressive. You were able to catch up when you were so far behind in the score."

And in the end, they only needed one more goal to come back.

Although it wasn't successful, the whole process was exciting, and the perseverance to the very end is admirable enough.

She paused, then said sincerely, "So you really should be proud of yourself and the whole team."

Second place is still a great result, don't feel like a failure!

Upon hearing this, You Qian's previously lowered gaze suddenly brightened. He raised his head and asked uncertainly, "You... do you really think so?"

Charlene smiled gently and replied in a light tone, "Of course."

You Qian immediately jumped for joy, his eyes sparkling as if they had been lit up.

He calmed himself down slightly, but couldn't help but continue with a hint of probing and expectation: "In that case... can I invite you to dinner with me as originally agreed?"

As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered, as if he were a little embarrassed, yet still stubbornly unwilling to back down. "Although this might sound a bit like I'm being unreasonable, I still don't want to miss out, so, is that okay?"

Charlene looked at his eager gaze but did not answer immediately.

She hesitated for a few seconds, her mind racing, but finally nodded in agreement, "Okay."

It's not like you'll lose a piece of meat while eating a meal.

Moreover, just as I thought at the beginning, what if the senior really did make a move to confess his feelings?

Then it would be good to take this opportunity to make things clear.

Knowing she couldn't give a response, she should be decisive, without dragging things out or being ambiguous, so as not to waste anyone's time or leave them with illusions.

After all, when it comes to matters of the heart, the worst thing is to give people unrealistic expectations.
