At that moment, Li Niannian seemed to see the Manager smiling, a gentle smile that warmed her heart like the spring sun.
Li Niannian was not someone who actively participated in outdoor activities; apart from work, she was a complete homebody.
Having been at the company for two or three years, she had no idea that it was so enthusiastic about hosting employee basketball games. She thought such boring events only happened in college.
But for the women of Xu Yuandao's Support Association, this was a huge event because the beloved star from afar would also participate in the game.
Well, after all, they were still young. Compared to the women shouting themselves hoarse for Xu Yuandao, Li Niannian sat leisurely in the stands, sipping green tea to soothe her throat. Occasionally, she would look up at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling quite content. With her legs crossed and her body slightly reclined, she wore a relaxed expression.
"Hey, Nian Nian, why are you sitting here? Come on over and cheer for the star!" Xiao Xian rushed over, snatching her green tea and tossing it aside without regard for her protests, using all her strength to drag her toward the fan group.
"Nian Nian, here! You have to shake it hard!" another colleague enthusiastically handed her a clapper.
Seriously, did it have to be this crazy? Being a fan could be quite exhausting!
She weakly shook the clapper in her hand while the excited screams around her never ceased. Especially when Xu Yuandao spun and made a beautiful three-pointer, the atmosphere in the arena reached its peak. Xiao Xian hugged her tightly in excitement, making it hard for her to breathe. Li Niannian felt helpless, her hands hanging limply at her sides.
Xu Yuandao spotted Li Niannian in the crowd. Her face was slightly flushed, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes as if she wanted to escape but couldn't. This pitiful sight suddenly stirred a mocking emotion within him.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly into a mischievous smile.
"Manager, catch!"
As his teammate passed the ball to him, Xu Yuandao suddenly had a thought, and the smile on his face widened.
With a flick of his wrist, he changed the ball's trajectory, sending it flying straight toward a small face in the crowd.
However, the dazed girl was completely unaware that she was about to face her second major disaster in life—
The ball came hurtling in with great speed and force. While some infatuated fans might have thought being hit by their idol's basketball would be a dream come true, the reality of pain was something no one dared to challenge. The onlookers quickly scattered, leaving only the slow-reacting Li Niannian to experience the "joy" of unexpected misfortune.
With a loud thud, the ball struck her, causing her to let out a muffled groan as she fell backward.
"Nian Nian, are you okay?" Xiao Xian rushed over anxiously, concern etched on her face.
How could she possibly be okay! Li Niannian wanted to retort, but her head was spinning from the impact, and she felt a sharp pain in her backside from the fall.
She groaned softly until a tall figure loomed over her, prompting her to look up suddenly.
Xu Yuandao stepped through the crowd without hesitation and scooped Li Niannian into his arms. His expression remained calm and composed as he said, "I'll take you to the hospital." There was a hint of concern in his eyes.
"Oh, thank you." The moment he lifted her, Li Niannian's heart raced; her face flushed bright red as she avoided his gaze.
It was he who had caused her injury, yet he remained unfazed—truly a person of stature, maintaining his composure even when making mistakes.
Wait, no! This wasn't the time to praise him!
It was him who caused her injury, and even if he was the sacred and untouchable Manager, it was hard to let it go!
Really, Li Niannian tried very hard to convince herself, but all her principles fell apart when Xu Yuandao gently comforted her—
"I'm sorry for hurting you. Does your head still hurt?" He reached out, lightly brushing his fingers against her forehead. The cool touch sent a shiver through her heart.
Who are you?! You’re nothing like the usual Demon Boss who berates people mercilessly.
Does he actually care about others? Li Niannian felt even more dizzy, her face flushing as she shook her head slightly.
"No... not really painful..." Her heart ached more; it was hard to accept this reality. She unconsciously tugged at the hem of her shirt.
"But you look terrible. Let me see if it really hurts." He leaned closer, his handsome face just inches away, forcing the poor Clerk to blush even deeper and shrink away.
Help! His face was too close, and she could even smell his pleasant cologne. Li Niannian felt like her face could bleed from embarrassment.
Unfortunately, this Demon Boss was very insistent; he wouldn’t back down until he personally checked her injury.
