Lin Xuan closed his notebook, planning to find Jiang Yutong after his basketball game.
The basketball court was surrounded by girls, with only a few boys scattered among them.
"What's going on? Why are there so many girls here, and why do they all look so excited?" A male student from Yundu University muttered in confusion.
His friend from Shangqing University grinned. "You don’t know? They all heard Lin Xuan was coming to play and rushed here to cheer him on."
"Lin Xuan? Isn’t he your school’s heartthrob?" the Yundu student asked.
"How’d you guess?" his friend replied, amused.
"Did I even need to? Just look at these fangirls—it’s obvious some campus celebrity is here."
The Yundu student scoffed dismissively. "These girls only have eyes for pretty boys. Typical fangirls."
"Wang Yao, I don’t like that tone. Sure, Lin Xuan’s good-looking, but he’s way more than just a pretty face. The guy’s a legend." The Shangqing student spoke with pride, as if Lin Xuan’s achievements were his own.
The Yundu student rolled his eyes.
How impressive could he really be?
"Tell me, have you heard of Tianmu Group?" the Shangqing student asked.
The Yundu student nodded. "Yeah, it’s that company that exploded onto the scene a year ago. Their CEO must be some kind of genius."
"Well, that CEO is Lin Xuan," the Shangqing student declared, his voice brimming with pride.
The Yundu student’s eyes widened.
Tianmu Group… belongs to Lin Xuan?
"And what about the National University Computer Team Competition? Did you catch that?" the Shangqing student pressed.
"Didn’t watch it, but I heard about it. Some student from your school solved the Oli Challenge in minutes and walked away with a billion-yuan prize from Boss Su of Su Corporation and Master Oli himself."
The Yundu student sighed. "They say knowledge is wealth—I never believed it until I heard about that guy. Who was it?"
The Shangqing student smirked. "Take a wild guess."
The Yundu student frowned.
That smug look… Could it be…?
His gaze snapped toward Lin Xuan.
No way. Was Lin Xuan really the one who cracked the Oli Challenge?
The possibility hit him like a truck.
Swallowing hard, he asked, "Are you seriously telling me Lin Xuan led the team that won the championship?"
The Shangqing student raised an eyebrow. "Yep. Go look it up if you don’t believe me."
Still skeptical, the Yundu student pulled out his phone and searched.
Holy—
It really was Lin Xuan! The guy was unreal.
Lin Li usually aced exams by a landslide, but Lin Xuan? He was on a whole other level.
"See? Told you," the Shangqing student gloated.
"Yeah…" The Yundu student nodded numbly. "Lin Xuan’s practically superhuman."
The Shangqing student chuckled. "There’s nothing he can’t do. Just wait till you see him play."
Lin Xuan finished warming up and stepped onto the court.
"Ahhh—!"
"Lin Xuan!"
"Lin Xuan!"
"Go, Lin Xuan!"
The stands erupted in deafening cheers.
Strangely, though, not a single girl dared to confess to him—they just screamed their support.
The Yundu student was baffled.
What the hell? Shouldn’t these fangirls be secretly crushing on him? Why wasn’t anyone making a move?
This didn’t make sense.
The game began.
Lin Xuan dribbled past a swarm of defenders, slipped through Yundu University’s defense, leaped—and slammed the ball through the hoop with a thunderous dunk.
"AHHH—!"
The crowd roared like a tidal wave.
The Yundu student’s jaw dropped.
"That’s insane!"
"This isn’t right. A guy that smart should be a bookworm. How is he this good at basketball?" he muttered, his face a mix of awe and disbelief.
The Shangqing student grinned. "Convinced now?"
The Yundu student nodded reluctantly.
No matter how much he wanted to deny it, Lin Xuan was the real deal.
"Nice one, Xuan!" Wang Dahe shouted, then shot a taunting look at the Yundu players.
"Keep gloating. Now that Shangqing’s MVP is here, what chance do you even have?"
The Yundu team seethed silently.
Lin Xuan was just too good.
They didn’t dare talk back.
If only he went to their school instead…
The game continued.
Dunk after dunk, three-pointer after three-pointer—if Lin Xuan took the shot, it went in.
The girls’ screams grew even wilder.
The Yundu student had lost all fight.
At halftime, Lin Xuan went to grab water. Suddenly, a shy girl approached, holding out a bottle.
"Lin… you must be thirsty. Here, this’ll help." Her voice was barely above a whisper, her cheeks flushed.
A memory flashed in Lin Xuan’s mind—the first time Hua had come to watch him play at Shangqing.
Back then, he’d casually accepted water from a girl on the team’s support staff. Hua had been furious. Later, she’d dragged him to their villa and… well, let’s just say his kidneys still remembered the punishment.
Thinking of that, Lin Xuan shook his head. "No thanks. I’ve got my own."
No way in hell.
Hua’s punishments were no joke. If she found out he took water from another girl, his kidneys wouldn’t survive the fallout.
He grabbed his own bottle and chugged it down.
The girl stood frozen, her spirit crushed.
Her friend returned from the restroom and saw her devastated expression.
"Little Jing, what’s wrong?" she asked urgently.
"Lin Xuan… he rejected me. He didn’t even take the water. He must’ve ignored me on purpose."
"Little Jing!" Her friend gasped. "You tried to give Lin Xuan water? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
