Chapter 44: Chapter 044: Handsome and That’s It
Everyone got to know each other a little, joked around for a bit, and then Ling Feng and Jiang Lang went off to train.
The basketball team from University A was quite popular, attracting many onlooking girls.
Jiang Lang, a forward and the team captain, coordinated seamlessly with his teammates, scoring a three-pointer at the beginning of the game.
The whole court instantly erupted in cheers.
Song Qiuqiu rested her chin in her hand, her gaze settling on Jiang Lang with a bit of surprise, “Hmm, he does seem a bit handsome…”
The game started off smoothly for Jiang Lang’s side, with the score widening increasingly in their favor; victory seemed certain.
Jiang Lang was already arrogantly blowing kisses to the audience.
Then, the show-off sprained his ankle for being too flashy…
Although it wasn’t serious, he couldn’t move it for the time being.
Down one forward, the team couldn’t continue training properly.
Just as Jiang Lang was about to find someone to substitute for him, a hushed conversation suddenly arose not far away.
Peering through the crowd, Jiang Lang caught sight of a familiar figure and immediately waved his hand as if he had seen his own father, shouting in that direction, “Hey! Gu Huai!”
Hearing Jiang Lang’s voice, everyone’s gaze followed the direction he was looking.
A slight commotion began on the stands, and the murmurs grew louder.
“Ah! Isn’t that… isn’t that Gu Huai?”
“Wow! It really is the big shot!”
…
Jiang Lang limped over, “Gu Huai, come and play a couple of rounds! 5V5!”
Gu Huai glanced at him and said flatly, “I’m busy.”
“Come on, do me a favor, will you? I’ve accidentally twisted my ankle, and now we need someone to fill in for me. You can stand in for just one game—how long could that take?”
Gu Huai seemed as if he wanted to refuse, but for some reason, he changed his mind, “Okay, one game.”
Jiang Lang hadn’t expected him to agree and was touched as he clapped Gu Huai on the shoulder, “Babe, you really do love me!”
The next second, “Babe” mercilessly shoved him away.
Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Lang saw something on Gu Huai’s wrist, but he didn’t get a good look at it and didn’t pay much attention.
At that moment, Ling Feng approached, looking at Gu Huai with disbelief, “Uh, Gu Huai? You’re going in? Are you up for it? The training is very intense, don’t end up like this idiot Jiang Lang and sprain your ankle…”
Without a word, Gu Huai slowly took off his jacket.
Jiang Lang took the big shot’s clothes, patted Ling Feng on the shoulder, “Feng, take care of yourself.”
“What do you mean, Lang?” Ling Feng was puzzled.
Jiang Lang raised an eyebrow, “Don’t you want to experience Gu Huai’s stamina? Now’s your chance.”
Ling Feng: “Ah…?”
After removing his jacket, Gu Huai walked onto the basketball court.
Once it was confirmed that Gu Huai was actually going to play, the screams from the stands could no longer be contained and reached a peak.
The girls spread the word quickly, and soon, more and more people gathered at the basketball court.
“Ahhhh! Oh my God! The big shot is really going to play!”
“Damn! I’ve lived to see the day! Although he’s at the same school, I’ve never once seen him in person, and now I’m actually seeing him live!”
“The big shot seems to have been appearing more often lately, hasn’t he?”
…
In the stands, Song Qiuqiu was also full of surprise, “My God! The big shot is actually going to play!”
Su Xiaotang was incredibly moved, “I’m so glad I came today!”
Song Qiuqiu grabbed Su Xiaotang’s little hand, “I’m so glad you dragged us here today!”
Qi Yue noticed Gu Huai joining the game, a bit surprised as well, she couldn’t help but ask, “Does Gu Huai know how to play basketball?”
Su Xiaotang shook her head in response, “I don’t know, I’ve never seen him play…”
Song Qiuqiu nonchalantly waved her hand, “Psh, as long as he’s handsome, that’s all that matters! Who really cares whether he can play basketball or not!”
Su Xiaotang: “Exactly, exactly…”
Qi Yue: “Uh…”
