Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 20, Section 20: The Princess Bumps into My Arms

Zhang Jingyi's badminton opponent inexplicably became Lin Shaobai.

Although they were opponents, Lin Shaobai was feeding the ball to Zhang Jingyi the whole time.

To put it simply, it means deliberately hitting very simple balls so that Zhang Jingyi can hit them back.

Even though the balls came from all directions, Lin Shaobai tried his best to receive them.

Zhang Jingyi saw all his efforts.

The princess felt quite guilty because her poor skills made her opponent very tired.

When playing badminton, the skill levels of the two players should not be too different, otherwise the game will be very tiring, and you may spend the whole time picking up shuttlecocks.

There were even some balls that Lin Shaobai had to dive to catch!

Seeing this, Zhang Jingyi finally couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, my skills are so bad."

Lin Shaobai: "It's okay, I had a lot of fun playing with you."

Zhang Jingyi: "..."

"Your skills will improve gradually. Anyway, I don't mind if you do, but if you do mind if you do, there's nothing I can do."

Hearing this, Zhang Jingyi gripped her racket tighter: "Let's continue."

……

……

After leaving the badminton hall, Lin Shaobai planned to go to a restaurant next to the school to eat.

Zhang Jingyi was originally planning to go to the dormitory, but after hesitating for three seconds, she ran over and stopped Lin Shaobai.

"Why are you going?"

"Have a meal."

"I'll treat you."

"Ok?"

"Okay, please."

"……Can."

Zhang Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lin Shaobai's agreement.

After that, the two went to a popular restaurant near the school together.

This restaurant is quite famous; many people come here early in the morning for breakfast.

However, Zhang Jingyi likes to have dinner there.

Zhang Jingyi asked Lin Shaobai to order the food.

"Sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, spinach with nuts, smashed cucumber..."

After Lin Shaobai finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi was indeed filled with surprise.

"Lin Shaobai, you..."

"what happened?"

Do you really like eating these?

"Ah."

Lin Shaobai smiled.

Zhang Jingyi lowered her eyelids again.

She never expected to have such a strong affinity with Lin Shaobai when it comes to food!

The princess also particularly liked these dishes, and would even order them every time she came to this restaurant.

The two of them are really in sync in this regard.
"I didn't expect that we would have such similar tastes."

Lin Shaobai nodded without saying anything.

He had seen a post about Zhang Jingyi's favorite food a long time ago, and he never expected it to come in handy here.

"By the way, aren't you planning to come back to school? Are you really not going to come and talk to your classmates? I feel like none of your classmates even know your name."

Zhang Jingyi said with a hint of worry.

"No plans, I'm going to be filming later."

"But our acting department has a final performance at the end of the semester, and you have to work with classmates to film a movie. If you don't get along with your classmates... there will be a lot of conflicts, right?"

"It doesn't matter. If it's a designated assignment, then I'll accept it. If I have to find someone myself, then I'll come to you."

"Looking for..." Zhang Jingyi's eyes widened: "Looking for me?"

"I trust your acting skills, so I'll ask you for help. We're pretty familiar with each other, aren't we?"

"...You...you..."

Zhang Jingyi's thoughts were disrupted by his words.

"Alright, let's change the subject. I think Dean Han probably said I'm like a little princess because he thinks I'm young and cute. What about you?"

"I'm just agreeing with my mom," Lin Shaobai said bluntly.

Zhang Jingyi's eyes widened slightly: "I thought you... never mind, it's nothing."

Lin Shaobai: "You think I also find you cute?"

Zhang Jingyi blushed upon hearing his words, but quickly regained her composure, nodded slightly, and said softly, "No."

"Okay, you are kind of cute."

Lin Shaobai smiled slightly.

Zhang Jingyi's face immediately flushed.

Praising someone to their face is so embarrassing...

"Lin Shaobai, are you lying?"

"Don't lie. Since you asked, I'll just tell you."

Lin Shaobai is exceptionally handsome, and when he's not speaking, he's the type of aloof and cool male god.

But when he starts talking, he becomes quite unserious, with a strange sense of humor.

"You, um, you really... think I'm cute?"

Zhang Jingyi, suppressing her shame, asked Lin Shaobai, who was sitting opposite her, once again.

After asking the question, I felt it was a bit stupid. Why did I ask the same question twice?!

Could it be that she really wants to hear that answer from him again?

Just then, the waiter brought the dishes over.

Lin Shaobai was so hungry that he quickly ate, while Zhang Jingyi was still immersed in the atmosphere from earlier.

The princess looked into Lin Shaobai's eyes, her heart pounding like a drum.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened.

Zhang Jingyi felt that something was off about her, really off.

"Eat! What's the point of just looking? You can't get full just by looking."

Seeing that Zhang Jingyi hadn't touched her chopsticks for a while, Lin Shaobai took the initiative to remind her.

"Oh……"

Zhang Jingyi nodded obediently and didn't ask any more questions.

……

……

After the meal, the two left the restaurant.

Zhang Jingyi still can't forget what Lin Shaobai said to her, word by word.

So much so that they didn't even look at oncoming vehicles when crossing the road.

As she walked, a bright headlight made her squint. The car was getting closer and closer. At the crucial moment, Lin Shaobai grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

The black car drove past them, and Zhang Jingyi bumped into Lin Shaobai's arms in a daze.

The unexpected embrace made the princess's heart skip a beat; her eyes were filled with surprise, astonishment, and panic.

His lips remained half-open for a long time, unable to close.

What to say?

Zhang Jingyi's mind went blank.

Lin Shaobai waited until the car was far away before grabbing Zhang Jingyi's shoulder and speaking in a stronger tone than before: "Are you crazy to be crossing the street with your head down?"

This was the first time Lin Shaobai had ever seen Zhang Jingyi so impatient.

It's understandable that they're in a hurry.

If he hadn't reached out and grabbed Zhang Jingyi just now, there would have been a real accident!
Zhang Jingyi took a deep breath to calm herself down. She noticed the tension in Lin Shaobai's eyes, a tension that stirred her heart.

She had never been in a relationship before, and apart from her family, this was the first time a boy had been so concerned about her.

"What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about how delicious the food was? That's why you've been looking down the whole time, you foodie?"

Lin Shaobai released his hand.

"It's okay. Thank you."

Zhang Jingyi slowly raised her eyes, her gaze towards Lin Shaobai filled with tenderness and gratitude.

After saying that, he continued walking forward, secretly covering his left chest with his hand in the darkness where there were no streetlights.

"He's jumping so fast... faster and faster."

“Hey Zhang…”

Lin Shaobai watched Zhang Jingyi walk faster and faster and wanted to call out to her, but as soon as he spoke, she ran away.

They ran away without saying a word?
Lin Shaobai was speechless.

what's going on……
