Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1673

There was no need for them to tell an acquaintance that they were a couple. Peter nodded as he relaxed, then glanced at Ian. “Do you want to play with us?”

Ian hadn’t intended to participate in their games, but he felt the sudden urge to do so after hearing Peter’s question. “Can I borrow your racket?” he asked as he turned to look at Cindy.

Cindy had no reason to reject Ian, so she handed the racket to him. He took it and waved it around a few times. This grip feels really good. I’m sure this racket isn’t cheap, Ian thought. Without any proper warm-up, Ian served the shuttlecock and played with Peter for a few minutes just to get used to this racket.

Cindy stood by the side and watched both the men play. However, she sensed a figure approaching her after a short while. The person spoke up before Cindy had a chance to turn around. “I’m surprised. You’ve got some skills.”

When Cindy turned around, she wasn’t surprised to find the girl who had thrown her bottle away earlier. Although Cindy was a good-tempered person, it didn’t mean that she didn’t have a temper. When she heard what the girl said, she immediately let out an icy scoff. “Well, should I pick one for myself now? I think Peter’s pretty good-looking. What do you think?”

The girl’s expression stiffened. “You made things really clear with your actions—even I could tell that you’re interested in him. Do you think he isn’t aware of your feelings?” Cindy asked.

With her eyes fixed on the game between Ian and Peter, Cindy continued speaking to the girl. “Does he know about your feelings? Or does he not know? Or… Is he just pretending not to know?” She clicked her tongue. “Sometimes, men aren’t as dumb as you think they are. I’m sure he’s well aware of who likes or dislikes him.”

Coincidentally, Ian and Peter finished their first match right after Cindy finished speaking. Peter turned to look at Cindy. “I have another racket with me. Do you want to play too? I can bring my racket over for you.”

Cindy had never been a huge fan of this sport, so she quickly waved him off. “It’s fine. I’d rather just watch both of you play.” After that, Peter turned around and started another game with Ian. He had obviously seen the young girl standing beside Cindy, but he didn’t comment on her at all. Although it hadn’t been appropriate for them to start a conversation in such a situation, the girl was clearly saddened by the fact that Peter hadn’t even greeted her.

She was still holding the drink that was meant for Peter, and she let out a soft scoff before she turned and left. Cindy only turned around to peek at the girl after some time. To Cindy’s relief, the girl had packed her bag to leave the park. Phew. I thought she was going to stay around and continue playing badminton with others, she thought.
