"This girl is a bit silly. She's had a crush on someone for six years. Doesn't she want an answer from him? Unrequited love is a dead end," Ye Zhou said seriously.
The girl lowered her head, remembering that she had been in the same situation for many years, and that if Ye Zhou hadn't taken the initiative, the two of them would never have ended up together.
An Youhe defended Xiao Wei, saying, "Liking someone doesn't necessarily mean you have to be with that person. As long as that person can live a happy life, that's enough."
Ye Zhou suddenly leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered in the cool breeze, "What are you thinking about? You have to stay by my side forever and never think about running away."
The girl's body trembled slightly, then she hugged Ye Zhou's waist tightly, making it difficult for Ye Zhou to breathe.
"I'm not going to run away."
Ye Zhou readily agreed, wrapped his arms around the girl's smooth back, and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Those who ran away are all little fools and idiots."
...
Liu Tian, carrying a shoulder bag, rushed towards Ye Zhou.
He rushed up and hugged Ye Zhou tightly, exclaiming, "Old Zhou, I've missed you so much!"
The two of them went to schools that weren't far apart, but it still took an hour by bus to get there.
Ye Zhou patted his good friend on the shoulder, "You look a lot stronger."
Liu Tian chuckled, "Your sister likes me just the way I am."
Ye Zhou pursed his lips, "Come on, let me show you around the campus, it's quite big."
"good!"
Liu Tian and Ye Zhou strolled around the campus, passing by a basketball court.
Liu Tian peered through the net outside and exclaimed, "Holy crap, what a huge basketball court! Lao Zhou, do you remember when we played basketball in junior high? It was so cool!"
There were seven or eight people playing basketball on the court. Ye Zhou looked at those figures sweating profusely and said, "I rarely play basketball anymore."
Liu Tian flashed a mouthful of white teeth, "How about it? I'm itching to try it out right now."
Ye Zhou glanced at the burly Liu Tian. "Just the two of us?"
"Yes, just the two of us."
"Okay, I'll play along." Ye Zhou smiled.
They grabbed a basketball from the sports equipment room, and the two of them took turns playing on the basketball court, one on defense and the other on offense.
Liu Tian's basketball skills were not bad either, but Ye Zhou was obviously better, making a perfect dunk and flying up in style.
Liu Tian gave a thumbs up, "Not bad, Lao Zhou, you're still got it!"
Suddenly, a man with a scar on his face, wearing the same basketball uniform as Sakuragi Hanamichi, walked over.
"Who gave you permission to play here? Do you even know whose territory this is?"
Ye Zhou calmly replied, "This is a public resource of the school, anyone can use it, and you can do your thing while we do ours, we won't bother each other."
The scarred man stood with his hands in his pockets, his dreadlocks gleaming black, staring at Ye Zhou.
"You're bothering me, you're hurting my eyes!"
The scarred man was accompanied by six or seven henchmen, each of whom acted with such unrestrained and unruly manners that they didn't look like students from Tsinghua or Peking University at all.
Liu Tian couldn't help but say, "If you don't want to play, then leave. It's like you've offended someone else's eyes."
"Oh ho, you dare to talk to our boss like that?"
Seven or eight people surrounded Ye Zhou and Liu Tian, placing them in the middle.
Liu Tian forced himself to remain calm, "You're ganging up on me, you're not good people, but I'm not afraid of you!"
The scarred man spat on the ground and then stomped it off.
"Fine, since you're not afraid, I'll beat you until you're scared!"
Just as a group of thugs were about to rush forward, Ye Zhou said, "This is a school. If you cause trouble, I can call the police."
The scarred man looked at Ye Zhou and sneered, "All you know is to call the police! You bunch of good students, you really don't know anything else but to call the police!"
"None of you are students from Tsinghua or Peking University, so the fault lies with you in the police's handling of the matter."
"Nonsense, nonsense! We are all students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities!"
"So what are your majors?" Ye Zhou asked calmly.
"Beauty, beauty and hair care."
Ye Zhou calmly took out his phone from his pocket. "Then let the police handle this."
The scarred man changed his tune again. "What are the police here for? You don't really think I'm going to beat you up, do you? What kind of person would commit a crime so brazenly? Kid, you wait and see. Don't sleep too soundly at night, and never walk alone at night. You're the first person to dare threaten Brother Feng."
The scarred man, nicknamed "Brother Feng," gestured, "Alright, brothers, let's ignore them. Do you think a couple of stinky dog shits can spoil the whole pot of porridge? I'll still drink it. Come on, let's continue playing ball."
After seven or eight people left the area where the two were.
Liu Tian also lost interest in playing. "I'm not playing anymore. What kind of people are these? I'm speechless. They're just looking for trouble. They must be bored. The two courts are clearly ten meters apart."
Ye Zhou smiled, for he hadn't felt this tension and excitement with anyone other than An Youhe in a long time.
"Two against eight, dare to play?" Ye Zhou asked Liu Tian.
Liu Tian looked up at the eight weaklings, his eyes full of disdain.
"A bunch of weaklings, let them see what Master Liu is capable of!"
The scarred man rolled his eyes as he saw the two approaching. "You two actually dare to come here? You just want a beating, don't you?"
Ye Zhou said, "It's two of us against eight of you. If we win, you leave. If you win, we two will definitely not show up under your noses today. How about it?"
The scarred man sneered, "How arrogant! Come on, who's afraid of who?"
A fierce battle ensued on the basketball court.
There were only a few people in the stands initially, but thanks to the rapid spread of information on social media, the number of people has grown significantly.
"Finally, a handsome guy who can play basketball has appeared! Come and play, ladies, you'll miss out!"
"Wow, this person looks so familiar, isn't he the one who was on the confession wall before!"
Ye Zhou and Liu Tian cooperated very well and quickly gained points, drawing cheers from the girls in the stands.
In junior high, the two of them played together perfectly on the basketball court, and even defeated many senior students who came from higher grades to challenge them.
Surprisingly, even after all these years, the two still work together very well.
The two players kept dunking and scoring, and in the end, the opposing team of eight did not score a single point.
The scarred man was panting heavily, especially when the cheers from the stands made him grit his teeth, particularly after each failed defensive play.
The scarred man gave his underlings a signal, which seemed like a common exchange between team members, but was actually all coded language.
In the next match...
Ye Zhou dribbled towards the basket, when an opponent unexpectedly unleashed a sweeping leg kick.
Ye Zhou easily leaped with the ball in his arms, precisely stepping on the opponent's calf, and using the momentum, he jumped up and dunked the basketball into the basket!
