Yang Pu's playful expression instantly retracted, and he stared blankly at Bo Yang.

  "What, can't lose?" Bai Yang had already bent down, bowing to the table surface, with his thumb and index finger forming a stable U-shaped channel, narrowing one eye, aiming at the target ball, and shooting out with a "slap" sound. The ball accurately entered the hole without error.

  The corners of his mouth curved up in a beautiful arc, quite satisfied with this rod. He raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Pu, "Still stunned? Give me an answer, bet or not?"

  Yang Pu smiled and played with the ball, then rolled it to hit another ball, making a crisp sound. "Of course I'll bet!"

  Everyone is really confused, Bai Yang's betting code is too weird, his own girl is actually let someone else pick her up, did he make a mistake????

  Just as everyone was still thinking about the gamble, Bai Yang had already taken a 1-point lead. Here, no one knows that Bai Yang's ball skills are top-notch, and in several matches against Yang Pu, Bai Yang has won more times, but Yang Pu's level is not to be underestimated either. If he really swings well, Bai Yang may not necessarily be his opponent.

  The intensity of the competition is a given, watching them play is truly enjoyable. Moreover, regardless of who wins today, it's beneficial for both of them, at least they can see Tong Jing's true face.

  After hitting the last ball, Bai Yang said lightly, "I won..."

  "I admit defeat!" Yang Pu smiled readily and put the stick back in its original position. "Where are we going to pick someone up?"

  "Beijing XX College, XX Road, XX Number." Bai Yang also put the stick back in its original position, and recited it like a tongue twister.

  "It's okay, but her school is so far away, it takes at least 3 hours back and forth, can you wait?"

  Yangpu has already put on his coat and touched the car key in his pocket, making a gesture to go pick someone up.

  "Wait, why not wait? Brother will guard here today and see the true face of Tong MM. Everyone laughed and joked together, teasingly wanting to meet Tong Jing, what kind of strange woman can make Bai Yang like her for 12 years and still remember her, her curiosity was unbearable and she wanted to find out."

  "Na Baiyang, I'm going to pick up Tong Jing now?" Yang Pu was still a bit worried before leaving and didn't forget to confirm again before he left.

  "En." Bai Yang responded with a poker face, without any intention of stopping him at all.

  Yang Pu hastily left the billiard room, started the car and rushed to Tong Jun's school. All the way, his mood was uneasy and anxious, this feeling was just like the first time he confessed to Xu Ning, but that time it was a confession, of course, he would be nervous. But this time, it was just picking someone up, and that someone wasn't even a friend, what did he have to be so anxious about? It was strange.

  Yang Pu wasn't too surprised by Bai Yang's request, thinking that he was worried about his father finding out, so he told him to go pick up Tong Jing instead. However, it turned out that the reason was because of the unpleasantness between Bai Yang and Tong Jing yesterday.

  The car sped along the highway, and after an hour, Yang Pu finally drove to his destination. He parked the car and started dialing Tong Jing's cell phone number (note: Bo Yang usually used Yang Pu's phone to call Tong Cong, so he had Tong Jing's number on his phone). The ringtone sounded for several rounds, but no one answered.

  He hastily lifted his hand to glance at his watch, it was only 8:05, not late at all. According to reason, he shouldn't be sleeping, so he continued to dial. Finally, this time, Tong Jing answered the phone on the other end.

  "Hello?" Tong Jing had just finished bathing, his hair was still dripping with water, and his face was as tender as a peach blossom. His blue eyes were still misty.

  The other three girls in the dormitory looked at this scene, and they were really surprised - from the bottom of their hearts, they envied Tong Jun's slender figure and perfect face, making them feel even more inferior.

  Yang Pu heard a voice finally coming from the phone and let out a sigh of relief, "I'm Yang Pu——"

  "How is it you?" Tong Jing's hand wiping her hair paused, very unexpectedly, because she saw this number, generally thought it was Bai Yang.

  "It's a long story, can you come out for a bit? I'm at your school gate."

  "School... gate?" Tong Jing stuttered in disbelief, and even walked to the window to take a look, but it was futile. The school gate was so far away from the dormitory, it would be strange if he could see it, let alone at night when it couldn't be seen at all.

  "I know you must be surprised, it was Bai Yang who asked me to come pick you up. Anyway, can you come down for a bit?" Yang Pu felt Tong Jing's extreme surprise and hastily explained, even bringing up Bai Yang.

  Tong Jing raised his head to look at the wall clock, it was already 10:20. So late, where else could he go? Moreover, he had already taken a bath and didn't want to go out again.

  "You tell Bai Yang that I want to go out." Tong Jing's hand, which had stopped moving, began wiping his hair again, his tone light and casual, not showing much interest.

  Yang Pu felt a bit trapped after hearing Tong Jing's words, unable to move forward or backward. He couldn't force Tong Jing, but not taking him would make his brothers laugh at him. After some thought, he came up with the most damaging plan.

  "Tong Jing, to be honest with you, Bai Yang is in trouble now, so I rushed over to pick you up." Yang Pu adjusted his voice to sound very sorrowful and anxious, anyone who heard it would think something was really wrong.

  "What's going on?" Tong Jing's heart seemed to stop beating for a moment, she was really scared. Yang Pu deliberately didn't tell Tong Jing what was going on and snapped his phone shut with a "click", the corner of his mouth involuntarily curled up, he was certain that Tong Jing would come down immediately, all he needed to do was wait here.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, less than 10 minutes later, Yang Pu saw a girl rushing out of the car and looking around cautiously. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Tong Jing, but what was she wearing? A suspender nightgown!!!!!

  Yangpu quickly opened the car door and rushed over.

  Tong Jing saw that it was Yang Pu and hastily went forward, grabbing the clothes on Yang Pu's arm. Breathlessly, she asked, "Ba-er-yang, what happened?" Very urgent and anxious.

  Yang Pu looked down at Tong Jing, wanting to explain, but unconsciously glanced at Tong Jing's natural and charming cleavage, which was both elegant and alluring. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He felt himself withdraw his gaze, raised his head, and calmly said, "I lied, nothing happened!"

  Tong Jing was stunned for a moment, her eyes didn't even blink, and her brain couldn't react in time.

  "Sorry, I couldn't help it either!" Yang Pu said apologetically with a bitter face. Tong Jing finally came to his senses, released the hand that was grasping Yang Pu's clothes, and without saying a word, turned around to leave.

  Yangpu's heart was even more guilty, he took a step forward, grabbed Tong Jing's hand and said in a low voice, "I'm really sorry to deceive you with this method, but I lost the bet to Bai Yang, so I have to take you there, sorry, Tong Jing——"

  Tong Jing turned around, his face calm as still water, "I'll go with you, but you have to let me go up and change my clothes."

  Yangpu couldn't quite believe that Tong Jing's attitude would change so quickly, and hesitated while holding her hand, unsure whether to let go or not, fearing that once she went in, she wouldn't come back down.

  "I'll take you shopping for clothes—"

  As soon as the words fell, Tong Jing burst out laughing, "You... have... money, then... just... suit yourself."

  Yangpu also knew that Tong Jing must have been very uncomfortable in her heart, but he just didn't dare to let go, because he couldn't grasp Tong Jing, this girl, whether or not she should be trusted. Her elusive feeling made him feel like a small boat floating on the ocean, unable to find direction, lost in the vast sea.

  "Sorry!" Yang Pu pursed his lips and pulled Tong Jun towards his car, walking for a short while before suddenly stopping. He quickly took off his jacket and draped it over Tong Jun's shoulders, standing very close to him. Even the faint scent of Tong Jun's body was palpable, causing Yang Pu's palms to sweat inexplicably as he dared not meet Tong Jun's gaze.

  "Thank you!" Tong Jing uttered two words calmly, still as calm as water.

  This thank you made Yang Pu feel very ironic, he knew that Tong Jing's thank you was a sincere thank you, but it was only for this coat. However, when he thought about his current behavior, he didn't deserve to receive this thank you at all.

  No response, continued to pull Tong Jun forward, opened the car door and put Tong Jun in the passenger seat. Then he walked to the other side, opened the door and sat down in the driver's seat.

  "What brand of clothes do you like?" Yang Pu asked, turning his head.

  "Whatever!" Tong Jing gazed out of the car window, her voice barely audible, her head slightly raised, beautiful as a black lotus in the night, with an otherworldly aura that seemed to transcend mortal concerns.
