Jiang Mian, the femme fatale, had no idea that because of her, two innocent young men had already developed a fierce fighting spirit before the competition even began.
However, because He Yubai and Zhou Ziyu kept nagging him, he sneezed several times in a row.
As the oldest member of the dormitory, Chen Yu asked with concern, "Have you caught a cold?"
"No," Jiang Mian sniffed, "It's probably because winter is coming soon, and my nose has become sensitive and I sneeze a lot."
As soon as the whistle blew, the referee tossed the basketball into the air.
He Yubai and Zhou Ziyu jumped up at the same time, glaring at each other angrily.
But He Yubai beat him to it and passed the ball to his teammate.
Upon landing, Zhou Ziyu caught a glimpse of the other party's slightly provocative gaze, and his temper flared up instantly.
"Go! Get the ball back!"
He winked at the other team members, after all, they trained together, even if they missed the first opportunity.
However, the team's tacit understanding remained intact and was not affected by the incident. The team centered around Zhou Ziyu as the main player, and whenever they got the ball, they would throw it directly to him.
They were responsible for defending the opponent, while Zhou Ziyu was tasked with offense and shooting.
Meanwhile, He Yubai remains a key member of the business school team.
Both sides fought for the ball, threw it, attacked, and were defended, pulling and tugging at each other, playing a back-and-forth game with neither side giving an inch.
Several times, Zhou Ziyu from the sports academy took three-point shots, only to have them intercepted by He Yubai, who then stole the ball and dribbled it all the way to the attack.
Both men wore fierce expressions, and because they fought in the same way, it was obvious that they had been seen through.
They looked like they were about to fight!
The first person to score will naturally break the deadlock and receive more attention and applause.
And that's what they both wanted—what if she came? What if she happened to be watching the game right now?
The person who scores the first goal naturally feels more proud.
So as the fighting went on, the two sides started to stray from their original objectives.
He Yubai and Zhou Ziyu, in particular, both seemed to be holding back a lot of energy.
Since I can't score myself, I can't let the opponent score either!
After ten minutes of this back-and-forth, the bell rang, ending the first match with a score of 0.
This result was unexpected, as everyone knew that students at the sports academy trained in physical fitness every day, rain or shine.
Although they are often jokingly called "all brawn and no brains," these sports students definitely have excellent physical fitness and athletic potential.
In the end, they managed to tie with the business school team in the first match, which was quite interesting.
The first game was just a warm-up; although everyone sweated a bit, it was good for getting everyone's energy up.
Many of the girls who came to watch the competition were there for Zhou Ziyu, but unexpectedly, He Yubai came from the business school.
This caused quite a few girls to become fickle.
Zhou Ziyu is quite good; he looks strong and muscular. Anyone who gets to date him will definitely enjoy that kind of pleasure.
But unfortunately, there are too many competitors!
On the other hand, He Yubai's demeanor was different from the moment he appeared; he had an ascetic air about him and was not to be approached.
He seems like a god untouched by worldly affairs, but now he's just like any other person, getting tired and sweating after playing ball.
It's as if the ascetic deity has been tainted by the world, and the contrast is immediately apparent, making it particularly poignant!
I really want to tease him, to see his red eyes and the pain he's enduring.
Hehehe... They really are bad people!
During the two-minute break, many girls came up to offer him water. In terms of popularity, He Yubai was inferior to Zhou Ziyu.
After all, everyone initially came for Zhou Ziyu, but now that they've discovered there are too many rivals, they can only choose He Yubai as their target.
After the first person brought water, a second, a third, a fourth... a continuous stream of people ran towards Zhou Ziyu.
Who hasn't been young? The leaders at the table and the coaches on the field just smiled and said nothing.
These dashing young men, dressed in fine clothes and riding spirited horses, if they were a few decades younger, would probably have many girls vying to bring them water after a game on the field?
"As expected of a student from the sports academy, he's so energetic and lively. Not only is he good-looking, but he's also popular with girls."
"Oh, same to you. The business school students also performed well. It seems your business school is truly full of hidden talents, both academically and practically skilled."
Although the leaders wore smiles on their faces, their thoughts were quite different.
The students from the sports academy were indignant. They thought that the business school students, who only knew how to analyze data in front of computers all day, were obviously lacking in exercise, yet they were now fighting the sports academy students to a standstill.
Is this even possible?!
The business school leaders, on the other hand, had genuine smiles on their faces.
These lads are really something else!
I thought that after they got into university, they would stay in their dorms all day sleeping and playing games, or simply bury themselves in their studies and give up even exercise.
After all, every year there are physical tests involving running 1,000 meters and 800 meters. These students all look like they've lost their lives after the test, and after they finish, they all lie on the playground panting heavily.
I didn't expect their business school to have people with good physical fitness!
To actually manage a draw with the students from the sports academy is a huge honor for their institution!
Despite the numerous girls offering him water, Zhou Ziyu was not impressed; on the contrary, he found the crowd too noisy.
He frowned, his face full of impatience, and bluntly refused: "No need, I have my own."
