But... this ignited her anger.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, Wu Youyou slapped the other person hard across the face.
Shen Yi didn't react and stood there stunned, not knowing why Wu Youyou slapped him. He felt a burning sensation on his face, which then spread to his neck.
Wu Youyou used all her strength in that slap, which landed hard on Shen Yi's cheek as if carrying a raging storm of murderous intent.
He Qiangwei stared wide-eyed at Wu Youyou, her face filled with shock. She looked at Chen Yi's face with pity, unable to contain her anger.
"Youyou, why are you hitting people?"
The students watching the commotion were also astonished.
Shame, indignation, surprise, and confusion filled Shen Yi's mind. He slowly turned his head and met Wu Youyou's resentful gaze.
Shen Yi felt a little uneasy, wondering if Wu Youyou had realized that he had deliberately hit her with the basketball.
His face immediately filled with embarrassment.
He tried his best to conceal his true feelings and make everything seem natural, smiling sincerely. He stood up, took a step back, and said apologetically to Wu Youyou.
"Youyou, I'm so sorry, it's my fault. The basketball hit you. Let me take you to the infirmary first, okay? I'll apologize to you in person afterwards!"
Wu Youyou was about to get up and leave when she gave him a disgusted look.
Shen Yi glanced at Wu Youyou, his eyes flashing with something unreadable. He quickly stepped forward and blocked her path.
"Youyou, I knocked you out just now. Just to be safe, I'll take you to the infirmary first."
When Wu Youyou looked at He Qiangwei, she noticed that He Qiangwei was heartbroken over Shen Yi's slapped cheek.
She glanced at Shen Yi again and found that he immediately looked away from He Qiangwei's gaze, his expression somewhat arrogant.
Wu Youyou thought to herself, "It seems that the basketball was hit at a really good time."
Wu Youyou stood up and pretended to be dizzy and almost faint.
Liu Xiaolan quickly stepped forward, intending to help Wu Youyou, but He Qiangwei stepped forward first and helped her.
"Youyou, how are you?"
He Qiangwei pretended to show concern for Wu Youyou.
Wu Youyou thought to herself, "So you want me to act here? Fine... let's see who can act the most convincingly!"
After being helped by He Qiangwei, Wu Youyou took a few steps, then pretended to have a headache and be weak.
"Ouch~ My head still hurts, and I have no energy at all...!!"
