8. It only takes one mouth to spread rumors.

"Yay!"

"Then let's agree on that!"

Ke Qi gently scratched his palm and emphasized, "Gu Zhao, remember to save room for dinner tonight, we're having dinner together!"

Gu Zhao gently withdrew the pressure from his palm and said, "Okay."

During their casual conversation, the group soon arrived at the stadium.

To avoid disturbing Gu Zhao's match, Ke Qi consciously left the A-team and went to the seat that Yu Sheng and Chen Youting had reserved for her, where she sat quietly and watched the match.

But no sooner had she sat down than Chen Youting and Yu Sheng flanked her from both sides.

"How about it?"

"Did you run into Fang Zeqing on your way here with Gu Zhao?"

It would have been better if they hadn't mentioned it, because once they did, Ke Qi was reminded of the scene where Gu Zhao was arguing with someone earlier.

She then briefly recounted what had happened.

"Cool!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Youting burst into laughter: "Gu Zhao's mouth is too powerful, Fang Zeqing is definitely going to be furious, hahaha!"

"This is nothing!"

Yu Sheng gloated: "When the game starts later, he'll have to embarrass himself again. Don't forget how badly Gu Zhao beat him last time!"

"If I were him, I'd be traumatized by Gu Zhao, blah blah blah..."

The two chattered and teased each other, but Ke Qi remained silent, staring at the tall figure in the preparation area.

Sunny and energetic, handsome and refined, with a natural male model physique, he managed to make a simple black jersey look like a high-end fashion brand.

Just by standing there so simply, he seemed like a male protagonist who had stepped out of a comic book, causing countless female students from A University to betray their idols and fawn over him.

"Seriously, my brother Gu's damn good looks and popularity are still as enviable as ever!"

Beside him, Pei Che, who arrived late, leaned lazily against his chair. As he spoke, his bandaged injured foot swung around cheekily while he turned his head and looked at Ke Qi with a smile.

"But can you believe it? Despite his looks, he's incredibly disappointing. To this day, apart from you, sister-in-law, he's never even held a girl's hand, and this is his first time in a relationship!"

"Honestly, I couldn't stand such a celibate lifestyle. No wonder Aunt An doubted his virility!"

After saying that, he reached out and hooked his arm around Chen Youting next to him, and gave her a passionate French kiss, saying with a smile, "Look at him, if he were like me, how could Aunt An still doubt his ability?"

After he finished speaking, he kissed Chen Youting again: "Right, baby?"

Chen Youting immediately punched him: "You rascal, have you forgotten how you hurt your foot again? Why don't you just shut up...!"

Ke Qi's eyes were almost blinded by the two's shameless playful fighting.

But having caught the key information, she couldn't resist asking out of curiosity: "So you mean, Gu Zhao has never been in a relationship, or even..."

Her face flushed slightly, but her eyes shone with surprise: "Still a virgin?"

"Mmm~"

Pei Che released Chen Youting, his expression meaningful: "How about it, isn't it incredible?"

He joked, "Look at all those handsome male anchors and male models at events these days. Anyone who looks like him would have gotten a sexually transmitted disease long ago."

"Our Brother Gu, oh my, so many girls have been chasing after him since he was a child, but he hasn't been tempted at all. He's so upright that it's almost abnormal, tsk tsk."

That's definitely not normal.

Moreover, he's at such a vigorous age, and he's never short of beautiful women around him, so it seems...

"Is Gu Zhao really not going to make it?" Ke Qi asked worriedly.

Does that mean her hopes of "eating" a better meal in the future will be dashed?

Who knows?

Pei Che curled his lips into a smile, a fleeting, dark glint in his eyes. "There are too many good-looking but useless men these days, but Brother Gu—"

He drawled out the last syllable, feigning deep thought and distress: "It doesn't seem like it's going to be a problem for me, but with things like this, nobody can really say for sure except him, right?"

The implication is that Gu Zhao might really be incapable!

Mother An suspects he's impotent, but that's not necessarily true. After all, a son is no longer under his mother's control once he grows up, and there are many things a mother can't easily know.

But Pei Che was his roommate, and they spent every day together. According to boys' habits, after taking a shower, he might even come out wearing only a thin pair of underwear.

Even he said Gu Zhao might not make it, so...

Keqi's small crack appeared.

On the field, Gu Zhao was unaware that his own brother had spread rumors about him, and of course, he had no time to pay attention to it.

The moment the referee's whistle fell, his figure powerfully moved across the field.

With his impressive ball-handling, dribbling, and explosive dunks, his professional and superb skills have gradually shifted the focus of attention from his outstanding appearance to his formidable strength in easily controlling the entire court.

As the host university, University A has brought several Black international students as its main force this year.

Due to historical factors, Black people have a natural advantage in basketball. They have long limbs and strong physiques, and their strength, speed and explosiveness far surpass those of East Asians.

Indeed, these black international students were incredibly strong, but under the combined attack of Gu Zhao and his team, they were all drenched in sweat, their brows furrowed, gaining no advantage whatsoever and being constantly suppressed.

Not to mention Fang Zeqing.

"Why do I have a feeling that Gu the Great Demon King is deliberately targeting our school heartthrob Fang?"

A female student from University A, watching from the stands, asked Fang Zeqing, whose face was flushed and who had lost the ball to Gu Zhao for who knows how many times.

His companion chimed in, "Yes, yes, I felt it too. Don't you think it's because..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but silently looked towards where Ke Qi was.

Many people saw her and Gu the Great Demon King holding hands as they entered the stadium.

Furthermore, considering that she and Fang Zeqing were once a couple, this was common knowledge at University A—

"This is a battleground between the current and former leaders!" the girl exclaimed.

"But you know what, she's definitely worthy of being called the campus belle of A University, she's dating campus heartthrobs!"

"Don't even mention Gu the Great Demon King, he's definitely a male celebrity level, extremely hard to pursue! I heard that a top female celebrity in the entertainment industry once tried to keep him as a mistress for a sky-high price but failed, but now Ke Qi has won him over, wow!"

"Yeah, yeah, I think Ke Qi is a real-life fox spirit reincarnated, blah blah blah @#&..."

The two girls got more and more excited as they talked, while Ke Qi, who was at the center of their discussion, was completely unaware of it.

At this moment, all she could see was that tall, confident figure on the field, and she exclaimed for the umpteenth time, "Gu Zhao is really amazing!"

"Of course!"

Pei Che, standing beside him, proudly raised his chin and said, "You think our A-level school's top demon king is just a title to be reckoned with?"

"Brother Gu is the face of our A-sports school. With him in charge, our school gets several more free trending topics every year, and we win so many national awards that we can't even count them all."

"As a result, our school's enrollment quantity and quality are much higher than other sports universities every year, and the principal really cherishes him!"

He raised his lips and said, "Besides, with my brother Gu's basketball skills, he's more than qualified to join the national team and play professionally. A small college basketball league is just using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. So easy, okay!"

Ke Qi nodded, completely agreeing: "That's really great!"

So, to be honest, Gu Zhao is good-looking, has a great figure, and is so strong in masculinity, so he can't really be incapable in that area, right?

But as a good brother, Pei Che wouldn't just make up rumors without reason, would he?

Ke Qi was unsure and extremely conflicted.

After a long time, she decided to verify it herself.

After all, hearsay is not necessarily true.

Perfect timing, Gu Zhao is having dinner with her tonight, then...
