Chapter 447: Chapter 447: The Showdown Between the New and Old Campus Heartthrobs
Shen Zhaozhao arrived at the sports field a step late, only to find it already surrounded by a crowd.
It was even more bustling than in the beginning.
She never expected that someone, who had graduated more than a year ago, would still be so popular.
Of course, part of the popularity was definitely due to Xie Yu.
Xie Yu had received a text from Shen Zhaozhao in advance and was already waiting on the field. At the moment, there were a few others standing beside him.
Seeing that Sheng Chuyi was followed by two others, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and call out, “One-on-one challenge, or playing as a team?”
Sheng Chuyi replied, “Let’s go with teams.”
“All right, need two more teammates?”
Xie Yu looked back and called out, “Who among you is willing to join the opposite team?”
“Me, me, me, I’ll go.”
As soon as Xie Yu’s words fell, people promptly volunteered.
“Alright, then you two head to the other side!” Xie Yu said after a glance.
The two ran excitedly toward the opposite side, not forgetting to seize the moment in front of Sheng Chuyi and others to say, “Senior, I’m Zeng Fan from the senior class 1. I often hear teachers mentioning you, please give me some advice.”
“I’m Wu Chao; I’ve watched the seniors play basketball before. You’ve always been my idols.”
“You’ll have to work hard later,” Sheng Chuyi, not good at making small talk, nodded briefly towards the two.
“It’s not hard work; playing basketball with the seniors is our honor.”
Zhou Huaiyu said with a smile, “You two have good taste. Just wait and see how I lead you to reign over the court.”
“Brother Yu is mighty!”
Xie Yu, overhearing this, said, “Senior, don’t be too sure of yourself. Even though you are our predecessors, we won’t be holding back.”
“Just bring it on; today the senior will teach you what it means to respect your elders.”
Shen Zhaozhao had seen Sheng Chuyi and his group play basketball and knew their skills were quite good, but she didn’t know how well Xie Yu played. However, since he was the one who proposed the game, his skills should be decent.
The showdown between the new and former most popular guys didn’t just draw students; even the principal heard the commotion and slowly made his way over, hands behind his back, to join in the excitement.
As soon as the game started, Xie Yu managed to secure the ball first. It was as if the ball came to life in his hands, watching him skillfully dribble towards the basket. Others immediately ran over to intercept.
In such a case, most people would choose to pass the ball.
But he decided not to pass. Instead, he took a step back, leapt into the air, and shot.
And it actually went in.
Zhou Huaiyu, who couldn’t stop the ball, paused and looked at him saying, “Kid, you’ve got some skills!”
The young man was full of vigor, his eyes brimming with confidence: “I told you, I won’t hold back just because you’re seniors.”
“Fine!” Zhou Huaiyu laughed in spite of himself. This kid was even more arrogant than he had been at that age.
Soon, the ball was with Sheng Chuyi’s team.
Sheng Chuyi got the ball, and although almost everyone expected him to shoot, he surprisingly raised his hand and passed it to Zhou Huaiyu behind him.
“Take a good look, kid!” Zhou Huaiyu grinned triumphantly in Xie Yu’s direction, jumped, and with a raised hand, a three-pointer landed steadily in the hoop.
A cheer immediately erupted from the crowd around them.
Xie Yu couldn’t help but give Sheng Chuyi a look; such a great opportunity to show off, and he passed it to someone else.
However, soon enough, he turned his attention away.
