A brilliant basketball journey, a dazzling spectacle.

Chapter 18 When I'm Your Boyfriend

However, because of his skin color, Chamberlain didn't feel any particular admiration for him; it was like seeing a beautiful peacock—just pure appreciation.

Qin Yu snapped out of his daze and realized that the beautiful woman in front of him was staring at him.

cough cough.

After a couple of tactical coughs, he repeated, "Alright, beautiful, could you check if anything's missing?"

Looking at the beautiful woman's face, Qin Yu had to admit that with such looks, it was impossible for her to be in cahoots with that thief, and her looks were simply too stunning.

Aside from Xin Zhiyan, who might be a couple of years younger and go to university, who could perhaps rival him, in his memory, no one could be more beautiful than the woman in front of him.

"Hmph, now you know you were wrong?" Zhang Yunyun raised her chin slightly, a hint of smugness in her voice. She'd seen at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, of people whose attitudes changed drastically after seeing her beauty.

"Hehe, who knows? What if she's a beautiful snake?"

"Besides, can't beautiful women commit fraud?" Qin Yu turned his gaze away from her without hesitation and then made a "vicious" remark.

He didn't want to be manipulated. He was still teaching Chamberlain, and if he went along with what the woman in front of him said, wouldn't that be admitting that everything he had taught was wrong?

"Come on, come on, I'm hungry too, let's eat some barbecue." Qin Yu tugged at Chamberlain, turned around and quickly strode away.

"Hey, anyway, I still want to thank you."

Which school are you from? Which class are you in?

Zhang Yunyun asked, thinking to herself: Trying to run away? Not so easy. Making a woman hold a grudge, especially a beautiful one, is sometimes quite easy, like the actions of this guy just now.

Qin Yu dared not respond.

He's really experienced at playing ball, but when it comes to talking to beautiful women, he's practically stammering. Besides, the woman in front of him is clearly hostile towards him.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best.

Qin Yu put his hand on Chamberlain's shoulder and pushed him forward: "My cooking skills are quite good, I'll give you a good meal."

"Kid, even if you don't say it, I know that your school uniform says Third Middle School."

"Don't think I can't find you," Zhang Yunyun shouted.

"His name is Zhou Biao." Chamberlain's broken Chinese came from the front, and it seemed that because he knew he was doing something "bad," his Chinese was more awkward than usual this time.

Qin Yu, who was talking to Chamberlain, was caught off guard. He stared wide-eyed at Chamberlain and then gave him a thumbs up. This guy's quick-witted! He's quick to apply what he's learned; he beat Qin Yu to it.

Watching the two disappear from her sight, arm in arm, Zhang Yunyun stomped her foot in annoyance.

She then opened the bag and checked the CD inside—it contained the material formula for the latest Cool Turbo technology foamed athletic shoe soles, along with detailed experimental data.

Zhang Yunyun patted her small chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and then hailed a taxi.

Lizhuang Barbecue.

The oil on the pork belly was bubbling and sizzling, and a burst of aroma mixed with oil and spices was released from the bubbles that burst as the oil temperature rose.

Chamberlain's throat bobbed as he looked at Qin Yu: "Qin Yu, is it ready yet?"

"Wait, this is only a little bit, not enough to eat. Let's grill some more, and then we can grill as we eat." Qin Yu reached out and knocked away the fork that Chamberlain was holding out, then looked at him and said, "I'll teach you how to use chopsticks. Chopsticks are very simple."

Chamberlain shook his head, his eyes fixed on the seven or eight pieces of roasted meat on the grill, swallowing hard. "Don't teach me how to use chopsticks. I'll just use a fork. I've been trying to learn how to use chopsticks for a long time, but I just can't get it right."

An hour later.

After finishing the barbecue, Chamberlain told Qin Yu that he was going back to America the next day, and then they exchanged MSN contacts.

Qin Yu walked downstairs and was about to go upstairs when he suddenly stopped and turned to walk towards the hair salon "Super Cut Party" downstairs.

The proprietress was a very elegant middle-aged woman in her early forties, with long, wavy brown hair and wearing a purple dress in a style that leaned towards European.

The dress had a slight slit on the side, revealing her shapely, long thighs and the proprietress's wasp waist, showcasing her curvaceous figure to the fullest.

"Sis, give me a buzz cut, no, just some short, choppy hair."

"Oh, you've got a sweet tongue." The proprietress of "Super Cut Party" turned around, saw a middle school student, and immediately greeted her with a smile, "My surname is Zuo, and my name is Zuo Li. You can call me Sister Zuo, Sister Li, or Sister Lili."

"Okay, Sister Lily."

"Wait a moment, I'll curl this young lady's hair and then I'll come and cut your hair," Zuo Li said to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu nodded.

About ten minutes later, Zuo Li tidied up another seat and let Qin Yu sit down.

"I've never seen you before. Did you move here recently? Are you studying around here?"

Qin Yu nodded.

"Take off your mask."

After Qin Yu took off his mask, Zuo Li brushed his unconventional long hair behind his ear and examined it closely until Qin Yu's face turned slightly red and his breathing became rapid.

"Wow, quite the handsome young man. I didn't expect him to be so shy. Doesn't he have a girlfriend yet?"

"No, early dating is not allowed."

"Oh, you're actually quite well-behaved. What a waste of your cute appearance."

Zuo Li gently scratched Qin Yu's nose with her finger, then stood up, took the comb and clippers with clippers attached, and began to comb his hair before turning on the clippers.

buzzing.

As the clippers vibrated overhead, Qin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zuo Li was a very feminine woman, and she also knew a great deal about dressing up.

"Sister Zuo, ask this handsome young man if he wants to be in a relationship? Or how about I?" The young lady with the perm suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, you've got your eye on her? Kid, what do you think? She's one of the most beautiful women in this area, I've personally vouched for her." Zuo Li said with a mischievous smile as she looked at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu's toes were clenched tightly, and his fists were clenched so hard that they were hidden by the apron that prevented his hair from falling on him. But Zuo Li, who had seen all kinds of customers, could not help but notice the little guy's nervousness.

"Alright, alright, Xiaojuan, stop teasing him. If you keep teasing this little guy, he'll probably run away in a panic, and then I won't be able to do my business!"

"Sister Lily, I'm serious."

"Get lost, are you serious? Do your parents approve of your relationship?"

"Who cares about them? I want them to agree if I want to date."

"When they ask you to go on blind dates, don't try to hide here from me."

"Sister Lily, look at you, I'm only telling you the truth here now, aren't I? They're trying to get me married into an arranged marriage, making it seem like we're some kind of wealthy noble family."

"Xiaojuan, if the other person is really good, I think it's okay. After all, Sister Lili has been through this before," Zuo Li said to Xiaojuan. "I heard that the blind date your mother found for you this time is a senior executive at Huaxing Company. He can be considered successful at a young age."

"What? My mom's set me up on another blind date? This…"

"you do not know?"

"I really don't know, Sister Lily, how long did it take you to find out?"

"It's been two days, I think." Su Lingjuan, who had been all smiles, changed her expression slightly. Her smile disappeared, replaced by a hint of anger, resentment, and unwillingness. She bit her lower lip lightly.

Suddenly she noticed Qin Yu.

"Laugh, what are you laughing at?" Su Lingjuan looked at Qin Yu, who was pursing his lips and trying his best to restrain himself, and was furious.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Qin Yu blurted out subconsciously, then thought to himself: I'm doomed.

Sure enough, the other party seized the opportunity.

"Sorry? Is it enough to just say it? You need to take action." Su Lingjuan was serious this time, carefully examining Qin Yu—this young man was really handsome, and when he walked into the store, he must have been over 1.8 meters tall.

"Hey, what's your name? My name is Su Lingjuan."

Qin Yu looked at Su Lingjuan, hesitating whether to give his real name or... he absolutely couldn't give his real name. Thinking of Xin Zhiyan, Qin Yu replied, "My name is Zhou Biao."

"Zhou Biao?" Su Lingjuan pursed her lips, looking at Qin Yu who blurted out the name without any change in expression. "This name... such a handsome face, and he's called Zhou Biao. Sigh, whatever. Since you want to make it up to me, then be my temporary boyfriend for this week."

"What?" Qin Yu's body trembled, his eyes bulging out of their sockets. What the heck? A temporary boyfriend?

"Sit still!" Zuo Li reached out and pressed down on Qin Yu's shoulder—she had almost ruined his carefully trimmed haircut.

Fortunately, Zuo Li reacted quickly, otherwise she would have had a very unhappy day. She is a perfectionist who is particularly obsessed with perfection.

Is it okay if I mess it up?

Her hair can't be cut again anytime soon, and her perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive tendencies will drive Zuo Li crazy.

Seeing that Qin Yu hadn't moved, Zuo Li, as if possessed, pinched his earlobe.

Boom!

Qin Yu felt as if he had been electrocuted, but there was no pain. Instead, an intense tingling sensation exploded from his earlobe and spread throughout his body.

Qin Yu's body trembled, his toes clenched, and the feeling of wanting to moan in pleasure swirled in his throat, but he suppressed it.

He didn't know if he blushed or not, but if he had made a sound just now, he felt like he would have died instantly.

What are you doing?

Qin Yu was on the verge of tears. How could he have walked into this barbershop? He was filled with regret.

Just a moment ago he was telling Chamberlain that boys must take good care of themselves when they are out and about, but he knew that was just a joke to fool Chamberlain, and he never thought that it would happen to him.

At this moment, Qin Yu's muscles were tense. He had been leaning against the chair, but now he was sitting upright in the chair.

"Hey! Have you thought it through? Even if you don't have time, you should still make time for it."

"No, I might have a basketball game this weekend, so I don't have time."

"A basketball game? That's perfect. We can take lots of pictures together then."

"What? Take photos?" Qin Yu's scalp tingled when he heard that they had to take a group photo together.

Before Qin Yu could answer, Su Lingjuan stood up and removed the curling iron from her hair.

"Sister Lily, I'll skip today's maintenance. I have to go back and take care of some things." After saying that, she scanned the QR code to pay and then walked up to Qin Yu.

Looking at the phone on the shelf in front of the mirror, Su Lingjuan picked up Qin Yu's phone and swiped it.

"Oh, you even use the same unlock pattern as me." Su Lingjuan's eyes lit up as she turned to look at Qin Yu. "Looks like we're really meant to be, Sister Lily. It seems this guy has the potential to be my boyfriend."

A dozen seconds later, Su Lingjuan added Qin Yu on WeChat, and also added their QQ numbers and saved their phone numbers to her phone.

Because he was getting a haircut, Qin Yu couldn't move, but at that moment he felt like his whole body was about to split open—what was going on?

Seeing Qin Yu's almost tearful face, Su Lingjuan frowned, then leaned forward slightly, bringing her face close to Qin Yu's, and asked in a teasing tone, "What's wrong? You're not happy about having such a beautiful woman as my boyfriend? If it weren't for how handsome you are..."

Looking at Qin Yu so close to her, Su Lingjuan couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face. Her face immediately turned slightly red, and she exclaimed in surprise, "How can his skin be so tender?"

Okay, I'll call you on Sunday. Don't even think about running away, or I'll come looking for you at your school.

As Su Lingjuan spoke, she rubbed Qin Yu's shoulder with her hand, "The Third Middle School, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fragrant breeze wafted past Qin Yu. When he turned around again, Su Lingjuan had already left the "Super Cut" hair salon.

Zuo Li picked up a small pair of scissors from the table in front of the mirror, preparing to give Qin Yu another trim. Seeing Qin Yu turn and look at the street outside the shop, she teased, "What? You really want to date her?"

No, I don't want to.

"Men are all hypocritical." Zuo Li looked at Qin Yu and felt that this kid was different from the others she had met. When he first walked into the store, he seemed quite mature in his dealings with people, but when it came to the topic of boyfriends and girlfriends, he seemed incredibly naive.

Click! Snap! Snap!

As Zuo Li's silver scissors danced across Qin Yu's head, seven or eight minutes later, the buzz cut with short, choppy hair that Qin Yu had requested was complete. Zuo Li's eyes lit up—this kid looked much more energetic and handsome than before. If Su Lingjuan were here, she might have pinched his cheeks again.

Zuo Li placed her hands on Qin Yu's shoulders, leaned closer, and pressed her full, luscious lips, painted with light pink lipstick, against Qin Yu's ear. Her long, wavy brown hair draped over his shoulders as she asked in a low voice with a smile, "Kid, tell me honestly, have you ever had a girlfriend?"

No, no.

"Liar! Someone this handsome has never had a girlfriend?"

"Really...really not."

"Are you still a virgin?"

As soon as Zuo Li finished speaking, Qin Yu's face turned completely red.

"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. Come on, your haircut is finished, let me wash your hair."

"No, no, I won't. I'll go back and wash myself." Qin Yuteng stood up abruptly from his chair, picked up his phone from the table in front of him, scanned the QR code, and dashed out.

"Ding, twenty-five yuan has been credited to your account."

"Hey, you little brat! You paid for a haircut and styling, but you haven't even had your hair done yet!" Hearing the amount credited to her account announced by the speaker, Zuo Li quickly ran out of the store and shouted at Qin Yu's retreating figure.

As a result, Qin Yu ran even faster.

"Do you really think you can just run away like that?" Watching Qin Yu's retreating figure, Zuo Li thought of her best friend who loved watching basketball, and her ex-boyfriend who was a huge basketball fan. She decided to drag her friend along to watch the game and, while she was at it, return the extra money Qin Yu had given her.
