"Brother Chen, I'm suddenly a little nervous, there are so many people!"
"Rat, how are you?"
"I'll only get more excited. What's there to be afraid of? Ruizi, if you chicken out, let the substitute come on."
"How can that be? This is a great opportunity to show off, and I won't let anyone else have it. After the match today, I'll confront Yang Meng."
Wang Rui's words caused Zhou Chen and Zhang Hao to exchange a fleeting glance.
Ever since Wang Rui used the "playing hard to get" tactic, Yang Meng hasn't become particularly proactive. Either Yang Meng knows this tactic and remains unmoved, or she doesn't really like Wang Rui that much.
Regardless of the reason, both Zhou Chen and Zhang Hao felt that Yang Meng was not suitable for Wang Rui, and Wang Rui could not handle Yang Meng.
at the same time,
The Zhou sisters, Zhou Na and Zhou Ling, sat in two seats in the audience, both watching one of the figures below, which was Zhou Chen.
The two women had different expressions. Beneath Zhou Ling's mask was jealousy and curses, cursing Zhou Chen to embarrass himself later and not be able to score a single goal.
Unlike Zhou Ling, Zhou Na didn't have unrealistic fantasies, because she knew Zhou Chen was very good at basketball, and relying on metaphysics was impractical.
Psychologically, she hoped Zhou Chen would lose because she had lost to Zhou Chen too many times. She wanted to beat Zhou Chen once, even if it wasn't her personally, but a fellow student from her school. Beating Zhou Chen would be a victory in itself.
In another section of the audience seats,
Yang Meng looked at Wang Rui standing in the line, then looked at her phone, hesitating whether to send him a message of encouragement. Although Wang Rui couldn't see it now, it meant that she cared about him.
“Mengmeng, if you send it to him now, you’ve already lost. If you want to take the initiative in a relationship, don’t compromise and be the one who caters to you.”
Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke up, causing Yang Meng to delete the few words she had edited.
“I think Wang Rui is not good enough for you. You deserve better. His conditions are too average. Just leave him out for now and chat with him occasionally.”
Let me introduce you to a promising prospect. My boyfriend has a senior from his university who studied abroad for a year and recently returned to China. He was hired by a tech company with a high salary. Half of the employees at that company are returnees from overseas, and they earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month. You can consider it. If you two get together, you won't have to work; you can just stay at home and be a rich housewife.
Upon hearing this, Yang Meng's eyes flickered, clearly showing some interest.
"So, do you have any ideas? Don't worry about whether it will work out or not. If you like each other, be together. If you don't, then forget it. Anyway, some people will always wait for you. What are you afraid of? You can always go back to them."
Zhang Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.
Yang Meng thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, could you please talk to your boyfriend and ask him to introduce me to the best candidate?"
“You’re my roommate, I’ll take care of this.”
Zhang Xiaoxiao confidently stated, secretly pleased. Zhou Chen's rejection of her had embarrassed her boyfriend Xiang Nan, and since she couldn't get revenge on Zhou Chen, she would take it out on Wang Rui. Blame it on Wang Rui being Zhou Chen's roommate; wanting to be with Yang Meng and have a sweet romance wouldn't be so easy.
However, even with the best conditions, she didn't plan to have Xiang Nan introduce her to Yang Meng.
If there are good ones, she'll naturally keep them for herself; there's no reason for her to give them away.
Zhang Xiaoxiao wants to find someone even better.
She's currently looking for a better man while still employed, aiming for someone who can surpass Zhou Chen in every way, someone even more outstanding than Zhou Chen. Her current boyfriend, Xiang Nan, lost to Zhou Chen in basketball, and in his career, he's not as successful as Zhou Chen, only holding the title of student council president. If it weren't for her interest in Xiang Nan's extensive network of connections, she would have broken up with him long ago.
With a whistle,
The first-year basketball knockout tournament between Yenching University and Yenching University of Science and Technology has begun.
The two teams on the field quickly got going and began to clash.
Inside the venue, cheers echoed everywhere, as people encouraged their respective school alumni.
Zhou Chen, Wang Rui, and Zhang Hao form a formidable trio and are the most coordinated players on the team. When the others get the ball, they almost always pass it to these three, while Wang Rui and Zhang Hao prioritize passing the ball to Zhou Chen.
As a result, Zhou Chen frequently threw the ball.
The score kept increasing, and before halftime, they had pulled ahead by more than twenty points.
Seeing this, the students from Yanda University stopped chanting their school's name and started chanting Zhou Chen's name instead. The students from Yanli University were quite discouraged, and in order to boost morale, some of them took the lead in chanting "Yanli University" to cheer him on.
But Zhou Chen was like he had a cheat code, completely dominating the game until the end of the first half, and even widening the score gap to more than 30 points.
"He's stolen the spotlight again. How come the basketball team at Yanli University is so weak? Can't they just shut him down?"
Zhou Ling couldn't stand Zhou Chen showing off, and said with a resentful look.
Zhang Xiaoxiao shared the same thought as Zhou Ling. She was hoping someone would defeat Zhou Chen, but the Yanli University basketball team was so disappointing that she lost all interest in watching the second half.
"We still have a chance. As long as we can stop Zhou Chen and prevent him from shooting, we will definitely catch up."
Zhou Na's classmates were all brainstorming ideas for our basketball team, hoping to quickly tie the score and then turn the tide.
Zhou Na didn't speak, just watched quietly, but her feelings were more complicated than before, because Zhou Chen was even more dazzling than in high school, and his popularity was no less than it was in high school. She could clearly hear the shouts of the girls around her.
Wherever he goes, he has such good relationships with people and so many people support him.
Thinking about herself again, Zhou Na realized that the gap between her and Zhou Chen was truly enormous.
What she couldn't understand was why Zhou Chen, who wasn't as outstanding as she was today, had become so outstanding that it was dazzling to her.
Everything seemed to begin with the day the family separated.
The division of the family property... seemed to be a watershed moment in the lives of the three siblings.
From then on, they underwent tremendous changes, but not for the better; they all turned for the worse.
She's better off; although she suffers from strange looks and is isolated, at least she got into a good university. But look at Zhou Ling: her husband is in prison, her mother-in-law sees her as a jinx, and now she doesn't even have a place to live. She has to take care of her child and her fourth brother, Zhou Chuan, whom she can't even contact. She doesn't even know if he's dead or alive.
Is this what they call retribution?
Is this God's punishment for the three siblings?
Zhou Na frowned, lost in thought.
The whistle blew again, and the game continued.
Based on Zhou Chen's terrifying shooting percentage in the first half, three players were assigned to defend him in the second half. They thought that if they could stop Zhou Chen, they could tie the score. However, the Yanli University basketball team suddenly found that the combination of Zhang Hao and Wang Rui was equally troublesome. Although their accuracy was not as good as Zhou Chen's, they couldn't overcome the large score gap they had created earlier.
Until the very last moment, there was still a 20-point gap.
Without a doubt, the freshman basketball team of Yanda University successfully eliminated Yanli University.
