With one hand holding onto Li Nanmu and the other on Gu Nianshen, Qin Feng began walking toward the basketball court.
Gu Nianshen continued to look at his phone as he walked. Lin Yiqian’s name was the only chat open on his WeChat page.
She was still not responding to his messages.
As soon as the group of men showed up, the audience became excited once again. A group of girls in white shirts stood up and began screaming at the top of their lungs.
The ones who screamed the loudest were clearly juniors from Yi Gao High School.
None of them could control themselves when they saw Gu Nianshen.
“Yi Gao, Yi Gao, Yi Gao…”
“Our senior must win, our senior must win.”
Li Nanmu nodded at them with a smile before turning his face around. He noticed that Gu Nianshen was still zoned out whilst looking at his phone.
With a frown, he snatched the phone out of Gu Nianshen’s hand. “Nianshen, why are you still holding onto your phone?”
Upset with what happened, Gu Nianshen snatched his phone back from Li Nanmu. He then looked purposefully at the first row in section C, which had the seat with the best view for the audience.
It was still empty.
Gu Nianshen frowned as he wondered if the idiot had lost her way.
How could she be taking so long to park her car?
As he pondered, he looked down at his phone. Lin Yiqian still had not replied. “Lin Yiqian, where have you taken the little jerk to? Why are you not here yet?”
Gu Nianshen sent a message and even added an angry emoticon at the end.
Then, he made a call on the phone. “Look for my wife at the parking lot.”
He said before hanging up.
After checking his phone yet again and glancing over at the empty spot in section C, he began walking over to the seat without hesitation.
Seeing him approaching, the fans in section C began screaming out loudly and excitedly.
Gu Nianshen walked calmly over to the empty seat before bending over and placing his phone on the seat.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a familiar figure appeared before him wearing a Black Horse’s jersey.
A sense of joy filled his heart as he lifted his gaze. However, as soon as he did so, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
Xi Xia was smiling at him as she pointed at the phone he had put on the seat. “I’ll look after your phone. Once Little Yi arrives, I’ll give it to her.”
Gu Nianshen murmured an ‘okay’ without saying anything else as he turned around and headed toward the basketball court.
Xi Xia’s gaze lingered upon him. As she looked at the large number ‘one’ printed on his jersey, her eyes darkened.

As all players from Yi Gao were present, the judge began walking over to Fu Zhong’s side.
“What’s going on over there?” Qi Wuyue asked confusedly as he glanced over at their opponents.
“Fu Zhong’s captain hasn’t arrived yet,” Qin Feng answered.
“What the heck? We’re all already here. Who do they think they are?” Li Nanmu placed his hands over his hips as he fumed.
Qi Wuyue rolled his eyes at Li Nanmu.
Right then, a man’s lazy voice could be heard from behind them. “Mr. Gu.”
Everyone turned around to find a short-haired man who was around 185cm in height standing there in Fu Zhong’s black jersey. His hands were in his pockets and his chin raised as he approached the group of men.
The silver earring on his right ear stood out as the light reflected upon it.
Despite the loud cheering, screaming, and whistling sound in the hall, the man’s lazy pace of walking did not seem to be affected.
He slowly walked toward Gu Nianshen until they were barely one step away from each other.
He then lifted his chin even further.
As soon as he stopped walking, it felt as if the temperature on the basketball court had dropped. Everyone became simultaneously silent as they waited for the scene to unfold.
