26 THE HANDSOME YOUTHS

Father Bai turned to look at the young man and frowned. "Maybe you didn't hear me, I think your team made it to the finals. Go dress properly and don't look too odd!" The man said.

Shihuan inspected himself and went back in to change. Shihuan took about ten more minutes before reappearing at his father's eyes once again. His palms were sweating due to the happiness swelling inside of him.

Father Bai inspected his son who wore a pure blue jean, a t-shirt and suit jacket and shook his head at disapproval.

Shihuan was at his limit. Anger in his eyes. His frown couldn't be hidden.

"You've just changed once and you're tired already? Ok you can leave now... Go now..." The old man was obviously teasing him as he grinned at him.

Shihuan shook his head and ran out the door. He prayed the next bus had arrived.

He got to the basketball court panting heavily. He decided to stay out and steady his breathing.

"Hey you!" Zou Xi ran up to him patting him on the shoulder, "Why are you out of breath? What if it was all a jo..."

"I would have snapped your head off your neck right now." Shihuan cut him off sharply.

Zou Xi chuckled.

They went in together. Coach Lin was wearing a very bright smile, he urged Shihuan to walk toward them faster.

Shihuan got all the attention on him, once he stepped through the door. His handsome face was smiling brightly.

The happiness on his face couldn't be hidden for sure! Cameras clicking as the boys stood with their coach. They made it first to the finals. Some girls hadn't gone to school, instead came to watch these handsome lads.

They were very popular due to how good they are in basketball game.

The girls whispered in hushed tones. "Oh my, look at Yunyi. He's irresistible."

"Thankfully you don't have your eyes on my Shihuan."

"And thankfully you don't have your eyes on my Zou Xi... Look how his cool aura is radiating from his body."

"Oh no... Now I can't watch them live no more. I won't be seeing them all live. Woo-hoo"

The boys felt their ears burn.

The girls were truly head over heels for them.

Now they would be seen by more girls. All this was going on in Zou Xi mind. Now that he's in the finals and would be seen more on TV we pray hotels don't become his playground. Shui Lan and Wan Heng hugged and immediately the camera clicked, the pictures would appear great. These brotherhood would last more.

Back in Shanghai city.

In the Xings hospital, a girl wearing a medical coat rushed forward into an office, smiles all over her face. "Look... Look at this handsome young men!" The girl handed her phone over to the person she was speaking to.

The person she handed the phone to is Ru Songyan, Zhaolin's cousin.

She was frowning until she saw the pictures, her facial expression did not change but her eyes did.

Her friend had a thing for handsome men and she wouldn't deny that her friend has good eyesight. "... hmm." She cleared her throat, "Yes, they are really handsome!"

"Hahahahha... Are you sure you agree with me?" Meng Yun asked raising an eyebrow.

Songyan smiled at her and nodded, "Yes they are but don't you think you're lusting over your junior brothers? They look really young!"

"Age is just but a number! These young lads are irresistible, and I can't help myself!"

"Whatever," Songyan said flipping her hair.

"Oh yea whatever. Since boys have decided not to court me I can go ahead and court whomever I want and lust over whomever I admire."

Songyan shook her head and rolled her eyes, "Like I just said, whatever! Do what you want!"

"Yes sure I will! You don't need to even search to get any bachelor you want! You're so damn lucky!"

"Just because I'm from an Aristocratic family doesn't mean I will accept just anyone."

"Be quiet! Be quiet i say! They will line up from here to France just for you to choose your choice... In all of them they must be someone that is good enough!"

"Hahahahha, Yun you're crazy!"

"I am not crazy! I just want a young man to dote on me and not forgetting he must be handsome."

Songyan decided to ignore her and went back to her work meanwhile, Meng Yun continued to daydream.

At the Four Wheels. In the president's office, Zhaolin had his back to his door. "Sir, Feng Riu is here." Jiang Zhiyang announced.

"Hmm." Zhaolin didn't bother opening his mouth.

Jiang Zhiyang went out and let Feng Riu in.

"Young master Zhao," Feng Riu greeted and passed him some documents.

"Everything?" Zhaolin asked.

"Yes sir."

"You may leave now!" He looked at the document in his hand and felt his heart miss a beat. The phone on his table lit up.

"Hello dada. I'm coming over after school." The little boy's voice was loud and clear from the other side.Zhaolin lips spread into a thin smile. "Hello? Are you still there?" The little cheery voice asked.

"Yes, I'm."

"Oh, cool! I thought you hung up on me...Thankfully you didn't or I won't speak to you ever!"

The man smirked, "Are you threatening me?" The man sounded a little cold.

"Threaten? How dare I?" Zhihao hung up instantly not allowing Zhaolin to speak more.

The smile on his face broadened. He took down the phone and stared at the document in his hand. What has she been up to? He wondered. He opened the first page and saw her ID photo. He took it out of it's case and held onto it.

He was still staring at it when a knock came in.

"Mr Zhaolin... The lawyer is on the line!" His secretary said.

"OK." He said and picked up the office phone.

"Mr Zhaolin, he refused on signing the deal. And keeps saying he'd rather die than loose his assets to you!" Lawyer Ming's voice came through.

"Let him die then!" Zhaolin who wasn't ready to beat around the bush said.

"Let him die, sir?"

"He wants to die! Grant it to him!"

"But sir..." "No buts!" Zhaolin hung up.
