“Hey, bro, what are you doing?! Pass the ball! Stop spacing out!”
“Watch my three-pointer!”
“That’s it? You’ve got no skills, bro! Hahaha!”
When Lin An and her friends approached the basketball courts, Han Yi and his group, who had been furious only moments earlier, suddenly changed for some inexplicable reason.
It was as if they had completely forgotten the previous confrontation. All of them abruptly threw themselves into the game with unusual enthusiasm, putting extra effort into every move as though they were deliberately trying to show off and look cool in front of the girls.
Seeing this, Xu Ming found the scene so ridiculous that he nearly burst out laughing.
Haha…
They changed their attitudes that quickly?
Suppressing his laughter, Xu Ming turned to Chen Nan beside him and asked for more information. “So, that guy who was leading them earlier, the one who’s about the same height as Brother Cheng, his name is Han Yi, right?”
“Mm, that’s right…” Chen Nan nodded. While continuing to play basketball, he casually revealed everything he knew. “That idiot is a student athlete from Class 9. His reputation isn’t very good…”
“He loves showing off, and he’s always taking advantage of other people. Those of us who live in the dorms call him the Crown Prince…”
“Huh? Crown Prince?!” Zhou Cheng immediately complained. “What kind of stupid nickname is that? He actually deserves to be called the Crown Prince?!”
Hearing his confusion, another boy nearby quickly explained, “There’s a reason people call him the Crown Prince. That bastard lives really well, but he’s also unbelievably shameless…”
“I’m telling you, he absolutely loves taking advantage of people. He’ll snatch other people’s stuff whenever he feels like it. Doesn’t matter whether he knows them well or not…”
“His private life is also a mess. Apparently, he’s secretly dating several girls online at the same time. I heard from his roommate that he often stays up at night with the lights on, lying in bed and talking on the phone with his online girlfriends.”
Chen Nan immediately chimed in, “That’s actually true. My dorm room is right next to his, and I’ve heard him talking at night before.”
Seeing the suggestive grin spreading across Chen Nan’s face, Zhou Cheng couldn’t help curling his lips into a mischievous smile. “Impressive. Lying in bed while chatting with them… What, is he having phone sex?!”
“Holy crap…”
“Awesome. So that’s how he plays…”
Zhou Cheng’s sudden remark immediately brought wicked grins to the faces of the boys around him.
Xu Ming laughed and joined in, “You know what, Brother Cheng? That’s not exactly impossible…”
…
Meanwhile, after seeing that Zhou Cheng and the others were fine, Lin An and the girls accompanying her felt relieved, though they were also somewhat confused.
“Hey, An’an, are they okay now…?”
“Or did we just get here too late?”
“Mm… They should be fine now.” Seeing both groups playing separately without any trace of their earlier confrontation, Lin An quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
I wonder what happened between them just now…
While Lin An was silently wondering about it, a sudden sound came from nearby.
Thump… thump…
A basketball abruptly rolled toward Lin An and the other girls.
Along with it came Han Yi’s deliberately deep voice.
“Uh… Classmate…” Han Yi called out, “Could you help us pick up the ball?”
Hmm?!
Lin An and her friends all turned toward Han Yi almost simultaneously.
Being suddenly bothered by a stranger immediately soured Lin An’s mood. Truthfully, she didn’t want to help him pick up the basketball at all.
This guy… did that on purpose, didn’t he?!
Doesn’t he have hands and feet of his own?!
Seeing the greasy smile on Han Yi’s face, an almost imperceptible trace of impatience flashed through Lin An’s eyes.
I knew we shouldn’t have stopped here…
What a creep…
“Oh, okay…” While Lin An was silently complaining to herself, one of her friends enthusiastically agreed to Han Yi’s request.
The ordinary-looking girl kindly bent down, picked up the basketball, and tossed it back toward Han Yi’s group. “Here.”
Well… Fine, I guess…
Seeing that her friend had already picked up the basketball, Lin An’s mood improved slightly.
However, while she was satisfied, the same couldn’t be said for Han Yi.
This…
Seeing that Lin An hadn’t been the one to pick up the basketball, Han Yi froze for a moment after catching it.
He looked at the ordinary-looking girl, concealed the disappointment in his eyes, and forced out a reluctant smile. “Okay, thanks.”
His smile was perfunctory and purely polite. Although the girl who had picked up the basketball didn’t notice anything unusual, Lin An keenly caught the subtle crease between Han Yi’s brows.
Tsk… What a poser!
Seeing the barely concealed disdain on Han Yi’s face, a sudden wave of disgust rose in Lin An’s heart.
…
Meanwhile, on the other basketball court, Xu Ming and Zhou Cheng also noticed Han Yi asking Lin An and the other girls to pick up his basketball after Chen Nan pointed it out.
“Hey, Brother Cheng, Mingzi, look over there…” Chen Nan pointed toward Han Yi’s group. “Holy crap…”
“What the hell is Han Yi doing…? Haha…”
“Is he seriously being this ridiculous? Is he trying to hit on the girls from our class?!”
Xu Ming followed the direction of Chen Nan’s finger and saw Lin An and the others standing near Han Yi.
At first, Xu Ming had no idea what was happening. However, when he saw an unfamiliar girl beside Lin An pick up Han Yi’s basketball and combined that with what Chen Nan had just said, everything instantly clicked.
Fine, fine…
So that’s how you’re playing this…
He’s seriously trying to hit on the crazy second female lead?!
The sudden realization left Xu Ming stunned.
After several seconds, he finally recovered and silently began mourning for Han Yi in advance.
Impressive… How are you even brave enough to do that?!
Just wait until she starts messing with you. You’ll behave yourself then…
Haha… Amazing…
Xu Ming struggled to keep the corners of his lips from rising. Finding the whole situation increasingly hilarious, he turned his head away and continued practicing his basic basketball skills.
Zhou Cheng, however, wasn’t nearly as restrained as Xu Ming.
He immediately grinned and burst out laughing. “What the… Hahahaha!”
“Awesome! This bastard…”
“That’s it. It has to be! This bastard is definitely trying to hit on her…”
“Hahahaha… What a creep! Hahaha…”
Zhou Cheng’s laughter finally shattered Xu Ming’s self-control.
Xu Ming burst out laughing as well. “Haha… Keep it down. Don’t let him hear you…”
“Otherwise, if he gets pissed off again, it’ll be a pain to deal with… Haha…”
