"Have you heard? Zhou Chen said he's still number one on the list in this mock exam."
"It must be fake, the mock exam results haven't come out yet."
"Zhou Chen said it himself. He must have a strong confidence in how many points he can get if he dares to say that."
Zhou Na happened to overhear these comments as she passed by the three students.
Her expression flickered, but she didn't pause. She walked straight away until she crossed the dormitory corridor and arrived at her room, where she was all alone. Only after closing the door did her expression change.
Her eyebrows were arched, and her bright eyes sparkled with a thoughtful gaze.
She was not at peace. She thought she did well on the mock exam. After all, she had been working hard every night until the early hours of the morning to reclaim her glory and to focus all her energy on studying, hoping to learn more than Zhou Chen.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chen publicly stated that he would continue to hold the number one position.
Strong self-confidence
This confidence caused Zhou Na's original confidence to waver. Could she really lose to Zhou Chen?
impossible!
She has already worked hard enough. Zhou Chen is busy with business, training, and occasionally goes out to participate in competitions. Her study time is nowhere near as much as hers. With this advantage, how could she possibly lose to Zhou Chen?
She should believe in herself.
Zhou Na was no longer worried, and a smile appeared on her face. She thought about how Zhou Chen had made such a statement before the results came out. If he failed to get first place, he would definitely be punished and become a laughing stock.
A discussion about who would get first place between the siblings Zhou Chen and Zhou Na was also taking the exam among the senior high school students. Some people supported Zhou Chen because his excellence was obvious to all, while others supported Zhou Na, believing that Zhou Na surpassed everyone else in terms of hard work and that there was no one else like her in the whole school. Even if Zhou Na had flaws in her character, it was because of Zhou Ling.
The comments supporting Zhou Na came from some male classmates because Zhou Na's appearance was quite good. Although she couldn't compare to Sun Wanying, she was actually on par with Xu Mengya. It's just that she didn't know how to dress up like Xu Mengya, and her simple clothes masked her charm.
the next day,
Zhou Chen heard from Li Kaile that people thought Zhou Na would win first place.
"Brother Chen, the person who said that is one of the group that liked Xu Mengya before. They were rejected by Xu Mengya, so now they're trying to curry favor with Zhou Na."
"Even though Zhou Na has negative news, she still enjoys it. I heard that a tall boy who is very good at basketball sent her a love letter, but she rejected him. That boy said he would not give up and even wanted to defeat you, Brother Chen, for her sake."
Um?
If you're going to pursue Zhou Na, fine, but why are you dragging me into it?
Zhou Chen was speechless.
If that blind guy actually challenges him to a duel, he'll definitely beat him up badly. Does he really think he's a pushover?
Unexpectedly,
The next day, the other party actually sent a challenge, wanting to have a 1-on-1 basketball match with him.
Before Zhou Chen could respond, the news quickly spread throughout the entire school.
As if afraid he wouldn't agree, a sarcastic voice began to emerge, saying something like, "A real man should accept challenges."
If you don't accept the answer, you're considered a coward, a weakling, etc.
This caused all the female classmates to run up to Zhou Chen, urging him to accept the challenge, promising to cheer him on.
Liu He, a member of the school team, came over to remind Zhou Chen not to be careless.
"Brother Chen, this Gao Shuai used to be on the school team. He was really good at basketball, and he repeated two years because he was kicked out of the school team for fighting. Although his character isn't great, he's really good at basketball. Even the best player on our school team could only draw with him back then, it was a draw."
Liu He presented Gao Shuai's information.
Hearing Liu He say this, Zhou Chen was a little surprised. He knew that Liu He was good at basketball, but he was still not the best player on the school team, ranking around fifth.
For Liu He to consider someone formidable, they must have some serious skills.
"Of course, if it's you, Brother Chen, I believe you can definitely win."
"This guy is arrogant. Even though Lao Lu doesn't want him and doesn't want to recruit him into the school team, he tells everyone that he doesn't want to participate, just trying to make himself look good. I've disliked him for a long time."
At this point, Liu He snorted. He had long harbored resentment towards Gao Shuai, and it was a deep-seated resentment.
"In that case, I will have a go at him."
He wasn't interested in someone with average skill, but since this person was a master, Zhou Chen wanted to give it a try. He had great athletic talent, especially after his rebirth. Although his main training focus was the 100-meter dash, he occasionally played basketball.
When playing basketball against the best player on the school team, he never went all out. He didn't know if the other player did the same, but he was confident that no one on the school team could beat him.
This handsome guy is asking for a beating; why not grant his wish?
Trying to humiliate him is a way to prove to Zhou Na that this kind of player deserves a harsh slap in the face and should not be tolerated.
Zhou Chen agreed to a one-on-one duel with Gao Shuai.
The time was set for the end of school that day.
As the bell rang, the students followed Zhou Chen to the basketball court. The court was surrounded by people, and many students were in no hurry to leave to watch the match.
Zhou Chen's appearance immediately attracted many eyes.
No introduction needed; looking at the person standing under the basketball hoop, easily making a layup, it must be Gao Shuai without a doubt.
Gao Shuai stood in the center of the court and said across the distance, "Zhou Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Today, I will prove with my strength that I am better at basketball than you, and defeating you will also be a gift I give to her."
Gao Shuai is good-looking, tall and big, with fair skin, and looks much better than him.
Unfortunately, he was blind to the truth; his eyes were wasted.
He's such a tall guy, yet he insists on being a simp, fawning over Zhou Na. He's so young, and he's already blind to his own flaws. It's truly a pity.
Zhou Chen looked at Gao Shuai, who was a head taller, with pity.
If Gao Shuai and Zhou Na really get together, he believes that Gao Shuai will regret it sooner or later. Zhou Na's confidence and aloofness, coupled with her subservient attitude, will never be able to win his heart.
Gao Shuai felt Zhou Chen's gaze, which made him seem pitiful. He frowned, thinking that Zhou Chen might be looking down on him.
That's outrageous.
Even if you, Zhou Chen, are good at studying, good at business, and good at sports, so what? My basketball skills are no worse than yours.
"Let's begin."
Gao Shuai didn't want to waste words; he just wanted to prove himself quickly and let the whole school witness it. He immediately threw the basketball to Zhou Chen, then took a few steps back, bent over, and spread his arms to reveal a defensive stance.
Zhou Chen shrugged. Since he was going to make the first move, so be it.
The next second,
Zhou Chen dribbled the basketball a few times, but instead of dribbling past anyone, he jumped up and threw the basketball, which instantly arced through the air.
call out!
With a thud, the hollow ball hit the ground through the net.
A long-range three-pointer, perfectly made.
At this moment, the entire arena fell silent. No one had expected that this duel would start with such an impressive opening.
