Shang Anqi was speechless. If there were no other people around, she could have retorted directly, but with so many people around, Shang Anqi couldn't afford to make a scene.

As soon as she said that, everyone around looked over. If Shang Anqi said anything at that moment, it would ruin her image as a socialite and campus beauty.

So even though Shang Anqi's face turned ashen, she could only desperately suppress her anger and maintain a smile.

"Luo Xinyue, what you're saying puts me in a bit of a difficult position."

Luo Xinyue ignored her feigned ladylike manners and retorted directly, "Then you shouldn't have said anything just now. Just watch your game. If you're not going to watch the game properly at the basketball court, you might as well go back and play your piano."

Shang Anqi was really put to the test by Luo Xinyue this time.

Normally, Shang Anqi could tolerate Luo Xinyue's teasing, but now that Luo Xinyue was teasing her for Qian Sui's sake, Shang Anqi was even more annoyed.

Why does everyone seem to favor Chitose's side?

Although she and Luo Xinyue had broken up, she still couldn't bear to see Luo Xinyue helping others.

Shang Anqi clenched her fists; she couldn't swallow this insult.

The girl next to Shang Anqi was quite perceptive; seeing that Shang Anqi couldn't retort, she helped her argue back.

The girls turned to look at Luo Xinyue and said, "It was clearly Qian Sui who was too noisy just now. Besides, at least our Anqi can understand basketball. What does Qian Sui know? She cheered when the opponent made a basket."

Another girl chimed in, "Yeah, you told us that if Anqi doesn't understand football, she should go back and practice her piano properly. We were saying that since Qiansui doesn't understand football, she should just go home and farm instead of making a fool of herself here."

The girls chattered amongst themselves, their voices not loud, but when several of them spoke together, their voices grew louder.

Neither Luo Xinyue nor Qian Sui spoke again.

Those girls were too noisy, disturbing the people watching the autumn scenery around them. Some people became impatient and said, "Can you all be quiet?"

People around them chimed in, "Yeah, they only shouted once, and now all of you are buzzing around, which is even more disruptive to us."

Seeing that the people around them were becoming increasingly dissatisfied, the girls could only shut up awkwardly.

Looking at Shang Anqi's face, it looked even worse.

At this moment, it was halftime, and everything around quieted down.

As the basketball players stepped down to rest, people in the stands gradually got up to go to the restroom or go out to buy water.

Although the basketball court is well-ventilated, the temperature has risen considerably with so many people there.

Now that people are gradually going outside, the air around us is no longer so stuffy.

Shang Anqi naturally couldn't stay any longer. Coupled with the way Luo Xinyue had just rebuked her, she was in an even worse mood and wanted to stand up and leave.

But now that so many people are getting up, Shang Anqi is afraid that others will push her, so she sits and waits for those people to leave before she leaves.

Seeing everyone get up, Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue asked, "Qian Sui, should we go out and buy some water?"

Chitose hummed in agreement.

She took out her phone, intending to check the time, but as soon as she opened it, she saw a message from Ling Shen.

Ling Shen: "I just arrived."

Just arrived, where to?

Chisui subconsciously looked up at the middle of the basketball court, and coincidentally, at that moment, a figure appeared and walked in from the entrance of the basketball court.

Everyone was busy walking out, and not many people noticed.

After Ling Shen entered the basketball court, the first people to spot him, besides Qian Sui, were the basketball players.

The players looked over, quite surprised.

"Isn't that Ling Shen?"

These boys were in the same class as Ling Shen, but they had only seen him during their freshman year. Although Ling Shen had returned to class these past few days, he rarely appeared in class.

They also felt that although Ling Shen said he was coming back to study, he would definitely not study as seriously as before.

He must have his reasons for going back to school.

Although they are of similar age and attend the same school, Ling Shen is someone who can support the entire Ling Group on his own, while they are just the children of a certain group's president.

This immediately caused a generational gap in ability.

So for this basketball game, everyone considered inviting Ling Shen, but after thinking about it, they all felt that Ling Shen wouldn't play basketball with them.

After all, in the world of big shots, hundreds of millions of dollars are just a few minutes away. In the time it takes to play a basketball game, they might have acquired two companies.

It was precisely because everyone had this thought that Ling Shen's classmates were all surprised to see him appear in this place.

Ling Shen noticed everyone's gazes, but didn't seem to care much. He walked up to them, looked them over for a long time, and then asked, "Am I in your class?"

The question asked wasn't "Are you in our class?" but rather, "Am I in your class?"

As it turns out, Ling Shen really didn't remember what his classmates looked like.

The boys exchanged glances, and then the boy closest to Ling Shen nodded and said, "Yes, you're in our class."

Ling Shen responded with an "oh," showing no shame whatsoever for not recognizing his classmates.

He seemed to be in a good mood. He looked at where the group of students playing basketball were sitting and then said, "Could I have a seat?"

Ling Shen's attitude surprised everyone even more.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

Is this the Ling Shen they know?

Although Ling Shen hasn't been to school for almost two years, everyone still remembers him from back then.

The gloomy, cold, and aloof Ling Shen still sends shivers down everyone's spine when they think of him, but the current Ling Shen seems like a completely different person.

It was as if they were just classmates who came over to find a seat.

This is abnormal, this is extremely abnormal.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they still quickly made room for Ling Shen.

"Here, here, there's a spot here."

One of the boys picked up his phone from the chair and pointed to that spot.

That spot was on the very edge. Ling Shen glanced at it and said, "Thank you."

Then he sat down, took out his phone, and sent another message to Qian Sui.

"I've arrived, where are you?"

With a ding, Qian Sui's phone rang. She glanced down at the message on her phone, then looked up at Ling Shen, who was sitting with the basketball team members on the basketball court.

She was only now certain that the person was indeed Ling Shen.

Chisui looked down at the chat page on her phone, unsure how to reply.

Should she explain it to him on WeChat, or should she go to his place in person?

While Qian Sui was still hesitating, many people recognized Ling Shen.

Several girls pointed at Ling Shen and asked, "Is that Ling Shen, senior?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Anqi, who was about to leave, immediately stopped and turned to look in the direction everyone was pointing...
