Chu Yang glanced at Xiao Li on the sidelines, then at Shu'er on the other side, and sighed softly to himself.

What was bound to happen has happened; there's no escaping it.

Fortunately, the sidelines were crowded and noisy, and although the two were only one court apart, they were on the same side and could not see each other.

Now it's not just them calling for Chu Yang; there are many crazy female fans too.

Thinking of this, Chu Yang stopped worrying about it. Since he was already here, he should focus on playing well in the match first.

In that moment of distraction, the opponent successfully served the ball, advanced to the frontcourt, and entered a positional battle.

"Old Luo, you stay at the top of the key and be ready for a fast break. I'll take care of the inside." Chu Yang said and dashed into the paint.

The three tall guys opposite them all laughed.

"You? You're 1.8 meters tall and you want to play inside?"

"Don't think you're so great just because you can dunk. You have no idea how terrifying our inside game is!"

"I heard this guy is Li Qingshu's boyfriend?"

"Holy crap, let's get him!"

The three tall men were eyeing Chu Yang menacingly, preparing to teach him a lesson and, incidentally, to impress Li Qingshu, hoping to win her favor and have her fall into their arms.

The more they thought about it, the more excited they became, and the three of them were already putting in their best effort.

"Ball here!"

The tallest player, number 1, received the ball first and slammed it in with a powerful shoulder strike.

This was much more powerful than Wang Wei's previous performance, but Chu Yang remained unmoved. Taking advantage of the opponent's stumble, he reached out and scooped up the ball.

At that moment, Rodon had already charged toward the opponent's basket.

He knew that Chu Yang's team had passed the ball over.

Sure enough, he received the ball comfortably, made a comfortable layup, and easily scored two points.

"This is so fucking comfortable!" Luo Du was practically beaming with joy.

As he expected, it was Chu Yang's turn to shine.

Either he steals the ball from the opponent's backcourt and launches a spectacular dunk.

They either steal the ball, block shots, or rebounds, then pass it to their hungry teammates for easy points.

The three tall men, each over 1.9 meters tall, were like a blank canvas in front of Chu Yang, completely unable to do anything to him.

"Damn it, how can this guy jump so high!"

"Holy crap, I can't budge him at all!"

"Holy crap, that speed is like Allen Iverson channeling his powers!"

"..."

The three tall men complained and cursed, but there was nothing they could do.

The score was overtaken halfway through the fourth quarter.

At the final whistle, they had lost by a full fifteen points.

Looking at that guy's stats: 10 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals, and 5 blocks... What kind of monster is this!

Just like the previous match, as soon as the final whistle blew, Chu Yang was surrounded by a crowd.

Jiang Chao and Ji Mo squeezed their way to his side.

"Boss, we'll cover you, you go first!"

"Good brother!"

Then Chu Yang took advantage of the chaos to slip out of the basketball court.

Meanwhile, Shen Li and Li Qingshu, who almost bumped into each other, were also managed to be separated by Ji Mo and the others.

"Sister-in-law Xiaoli, the eldest brother has something come up. He said he'd like to have dinner with you later!"

"Milk Tea Sister-in-law, the boss had something come up, he said he'll ask you to have a late-night snack later!"

This arrangement is perfect; Chu Yang's love for them was well worth it.

So he went back to his dorm, took a shower, changed his clothes, and then called Xiaoli to ask her to have dinner together.

…

Dinner was simple: soy milk soup from the second canteen.

With a bowl of braised noodles made by a master chef from Shanxi, Xiaoli was already thoroughly enjoying her meal.

Chu Yang couldn't stand the fermented soybean juice, but he loved watching her drink it with relish, finding it incredibly adorable.

"Drink slowly." Chu Yang used a tissue to wipe the juice from the corner of her mouth.

Then he asked, "Where did you come from during the game? I didn't see you when I went to the stadium."

Little Pear swallowed a mouthful of noodles and said with a smile, "I've set up an ambush, planning to give you a surprise. Oh, by the way, I also saw Shu'er. Seeing her reminds me of milk tea."

Chu Yang was slightly taken aback, then casually said, "She's here to cheer on the class team."

Little Pear said "oh" and continued eating noodles and drinking soy milk.

Chu Yang got up and went to the window to buy a serving of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). When he brought it over, he saw a figure not far away holding a camera and facing him.

He didn't say anything, sat down, picked up a small steamed bun, blew on it to cool it down, and then held it to Xiaolizi's mouth.

The little pear opened its mouth and held it in, puffing out its cheeks in refusal, its eyes smiling into crescent moons.

"What about my dad?" she asked.

"I've already thought of a way, I'll send him a few photos later," Chu Yang said.

Little Pear's eyes lit up: "A photo, a photo of the two of us?"

“Yes, but not entirely,” Chu Yang said.

Little Pear blinked, indicating that she didn't understand.

Chu Yang smiled slightly and asked, "Have you ever heard of the four great evil arts of Asia?"

…

The four great evil arts of Asia.

Thailand's sex reassignment surgery, South Korea's plastic surgery, and Japan's makeup techniques.

And then there's my country's Photoshop skills.

What Chu Yang had to do was use Photoshop to make himself look better in the photos, and then report back to his older brother.

As for where the photos came from, they were naturally taken by Ji Mo and Jiang Chao, who had already mastered paparazzi techniques.

After having dinner and taking a walk together, he returned to his dormitory and saw Jiang Chao and Ji Mo already tinkering with something.

At this time, the Photoshop version used was 5.0, which was an old version for Chu Yang, but it still had the necessary photo editing functions.

To this end, Chu Yang even borrowed a photo editing tutorial today to study it, and easily mastered it thanks to his photographic memory.
