Chapter 101: Chapter 101: The Opportunity Given to You
Sang Youyou sighed, “I really envy you guys for having the extra energy for competitions. Just dealing with the current nine subjects already has me at my wits’ end. And I’ve heard that participating in competitions is exhausting. Especially in high school, they’re very difficult, extremely difficult, nothing like those in primary or junior high.”
However, while others at least had the chance to make an effort, she didn’t even have the opportunity to try.
Shen Zhaozhao had also heard about it, which is why she refused immediately when the teacher approached her.
But the thought of going to Jing City for the training camp made Shen Zhaozhao feel she could still put in a little more effort.
The two were chatting as they arrived at the basketball court.
The game had already started.
Outside the court, quite a few girls who came to watch the excitement had gathered, including some from Sang Youyou’s class and a few from other classes.
From a distance, they could hear the girls cheering loudly, and Lu Xu’s name could occasionally be heard.
Shen Zhaozhao recognized that the most enthusiastic cheerers were from Sang Youyou’s class and couldn’t help but laugh, “The girls in your class are quite passionate.”
Sang Youyou clicked her tongue, “It seems like I underestimated how popular Lu Xu, that kid, is.”
During halftime, Shen Zhaozhao pulled her along, saying, “Let’s go, bring him some water.”
Sang Youyou looked around at a group of eager girls and said, “Maybe we should forget it? Let someone else have the chance?”
As they spoke, a girl had already taken the initiative to bring water to Lu Xu, but whatever he said to her left the girl walking away disappointed.
The next second, they saw Lu Xu striding towards Shen Zhaozhao and Sang Youyou. Without a word, he snatched the water bottle from Sang Youyou’s hand, twisted it open, and said, “You two bringing water, why the dilly-dallying?”
“We didn’t want to get in your way; we were thinking of giving you a chance,” Sang Youyou said, her tone a mix of sarcasm and humor.
Lu Xu chugged most of the bottle in one go before looking at her, “What chance?”
Sang Youyou, “Of course, the chance for other girls to get close to you, allowing you to meet more girls and interact with them.”
“What on earth do you two think about all day?” Lu Xu shot them an annoyed glance.
Sang Youyou blinked at him, “Be honest, seeing so many girls cheering for you must make you feel really proud and smug, right?”
“Of course, it proves I’ve got charm!” Lu Xu boasted, seizing every opportunity for self-praise.
“Yue~~~” Sang Youyou made a mock retching expression and said, “Lu Xu, can’t you have a little shame?”
Lu Xu flicked away the sweat droplets on his head and slicked his wet hair back, revealing his striking facial features, “Don’t you think I look handsome playing basketball?”
Sang Youyou, “Not really!”
“That’s because you have no taste,” Lu Xu snorted coldly, then turned to Shen Zhaozhao and asked, “Shen Zhaozhao, what do you think, am I handsome or what?”
“Hmm, not bad,” Shen Zhaozhao nodded, “You do stand out quite a bit in your class.” Because there’s no one else in his class who can play.
In comparison, this kid did look rather decent!
Sang Youyou couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Did you hear that? You’re like a general among shorties, and if Sheng Chuyi were here, there’d be no spotlight for you.”
“Are we still friends or not?”
Even if it was the truth, there was no need to say it to his face…
