Chapter 72 The Past Life


    Chapter 72 The Past Life


    This dazzlingbination of the four people caught everyone''s attention. Eloise paid no attention to


    it and introduced the famous sports arena in Srnya High School to Charlotte, "Although our


    school''s gym is not particrly big, both the exterior and the interior facilities are very nice.


    However, our school''s young masters and girls don''t like sports, so the only time you can see many


    people in the gym is during basketball games."


    Charlotte nodded.


    Eloise continued, "Our school''s basketball team is very strong. They have won city-level trophies


    and there are hardly anypetitors among the universities in Seyso."


    Charlotte was puzzled, "Then why are people still challenging them here?"


    Cecilia and Eloise exchanged mocking expressions. Eloise said, "The people challenging us are


    from Roblia High School. You''ve heard of it, right?"


    Charlotte thought for a moment, and asked, "Is it also a prestigious school?"


    Eloise nodded, "Essentially, Roblia High School and Srnya High School are simr. The


    difference is that our school has certain admission requirements. You need to have good grades if


    you don''te from a powerful family. However, Roblia High School is different. As long as you


    have money, you can get in."


    Cecilia sneered, "They are just a bunch of mediocre people."


    Charlotte was curious, "Why?"


    Cecilia replied, "I once saw students from their school trying to drug girls at a bar... It happened


    during our ss gathering, and I was angry, so I took my friends and taught those scumbags a


    lesson. Since then, we''ve had a conflict with each other, and I think it''s probably the reason why


    they challenge us to a basketball game."


    Eloise added, "But our school''s basketball team is very strong. We don''t really need to worry."

    As they spoke, they arrived at the basketball court. The surrounding seats were already crowded


    with spectators, making it difficult to move around. Charlotte held onto Eloise''s arm and eximed,


    "Has the whole schoole here!?"


    Eloise didn''t find it strange and said, "Probably. Do you watch idol dramas? Let me tell you, our


    school''s basketball team is more focused on looks than skills. They are good at showing off and


    attracting attention, like superstars. Everywhere they go, girls scream for them. It''s not too bad right


    now, butter, even the aisles will be filled with people."


    Charlotte didn''t know what to say.


    Being an avid fan was terrifying.


    Reagan and Vivian had already reserved seats in advance by using Cecilia''s name. When they saw


    Cecilia, they waved to her to find seats.


    The seats were in the front row, closest to the court. The ce was incredibly crowded, and even


    with Cecilia leading the way, Charlotte still got bumped into by people.


    With delicate skin and a weak body, Charlotte couldn''t bear it after walking only halfway through the


    aisle. She wanted to hold onto Eloise''s hand, but a warm,rge hand held hers instead.


    Nichs raised an eyebrow with a hint of impatience and saw Charlotte turn her head. He gently


    turned her head back, saying, "I''m holding onto you. Please focus on walking and don''t trip."


    Charlotte obediently agreed, and she heard Nichs sneer from behind, "These idiots! Why do they


    cause such amotion? They must be insane!"


    Charlotte didn''t know what to answer.


    She cautiously looked around the crowd. Then she said seriously to Nichs, "Now, everyone


    around us is a fan of the school''s basketball team. Fans can be crazy, and if they hear what you just


    said, they might attack you!"


    She had seen many incidents on TV where overly enthusiastic fans assaulted bystanders!


    Nichs looked at her strangely and suddenly smiled mischievously, "If I get attacked, will you


    protect me?"


    Charlotte thought for a moment and shook her head sincerely, "I don''t know how to fight, so I will


    find a safe ce to hide. But once the fight is over, I can help you with first aid and dress your


    wounds. There is a scar removal ointment at my home that works really well."


    Nichs, "..."


    He sighed and rubbed his forehead, somewhat helpless. He said, "Don''t worry, even if I insult the


    basketball team here that they are all idiots and no one would dare attack me."


    He tugged on Charlotte''s clothing cor and said, "Let''s go."


    With great difficulty, they finally reached their seats. Charlotte sat down next to Eloise and let out a


    sigh of relief, "There are so many people."


    Eloise handed her a bottle of drink, "Here, you''ll get used to it."


    Nichs casually sat down next to Charlotte. The seats at the basketball court were a bit low, and


    his long legs had nowhere to go. Charlotte looked at him and couldn''t help but smile, "Short legs


    have their advantages, too!"


    Charlotte lowered her head to unscrew the bottle cap but struggled for a while and couldn''t open it.


    She frowned, and suddenly a hand reached out to take the drink from her, and effortlessly opened it


    before handing it back to her.


    Charlotte took the drink and instinctively looked up, only to see Andrew''s face, which seemed to be


    illuminated by the sun, gentle and warm.


    "..." She pursed her lips and remained silent.


    Wearing white sportswear, Andrew kneeled down in front of Charlotte and met her gaze, "Char."


    Charlotte felt a bit annoyed, "What''s the matter?"


    Countless pairs of eyes in the basketball court were now focused on them, and the previously noisy


    atmosphere became strangely quiet. Andrew''s voice sounded particrly clear, "Char, can''t we


    really reconcile?"


    With just this sentence, the entire basketball court became noisy as if something had exploded.


    "The past? What past? Could it be that the school heartthrob and this new transfer student have


    some unclear rtionship?"


    "Is the school heartthrob blind? Why would he like such an ugly person?"


    Charlotte''s fair fingers instantly tightened around the bottle. She could hear those familiar whispers,


    like venomous snakes hissing, ready to bite her at any moment and inject venom that would make


    tears stream down her face.


    She didn''t want to be like before anymore.


    Charlotte''s body curled up in her seat with her spine slightly bent, forming a curve with her waist. It


    was an instinctual posture of self-protection in an environmentcking security.


    She lowered her thick eyshes and didn''t look at Andrew. Her voice was soft, "I had already told


    you that I never promised you anything."


    A tinge of pain shed in Andrew''s eyes.


    He had spent the past few days in a numb state of alcohol. He rarely drank before and didn''t have a


    high tolerance.


    He knew that drowning himself in alcohol was not a good thing, but he couldn''t control himself. In


    the illusions woven by alcohol, Charlotte had nothing to do with Nelson. She was still the gentle girl


    who would purse her lips and smile at him.


    His rity came from a p from his mother. Rachel sternly asked him, "Andrew! Are you going to


    ruin your whole life for a woman?"


    Andrew took a deep breath and said, "Char, I believe you''re not that kind of person..."


    Charlotte''s voice was colder than ever before, "I am that kind of person."


    She gathered her courage and looked at Andrew, "Don''t believe me anymore."
