A game had ended, and Chen Shuo's body was soaked in sweat.
Even his loose basketball jersey was sticking to his body, faintly revealing the toned muscles beneath.
Chen Shuo loved this feeling of freely sweating on the court, as if every pore in his body was relieved.
At the sidelines, a girl was handing Chen Shuo a drink through the protective netting.
Under the court lights, the girl's small face was flushed red, and she didn't dare look Chen Shuo in the eye.
Chen Shuo didn't take the drink from the girl, only smiling politely at her before heading towards the rest area by the court.
In the rest area, there were several long benches.
Chen Shuo's sports bag was also placed on one of the benches, and he searched for his drink inside.
At the same time, Su Xiyan also saw Chen Shuo who had already left the court to rest.
She carried a drink and walked towards Chen Shuo under everyone's watchful gaze.
Even though the target was already so obvious, many admirers still clung to the last bit of hope, wondering which lucky guy their goddess, Su Xiyan, would go to?
Why did Su Xiyan, beautiful and excellent, exude a charm that made people want to kneel under her pomegranate skirt?
From third and fourth-year seniors to first and second-year juniors, no one could ignore Su Xiyan's every move.
But due to Su Xiyan's icy demeanor, these people dared not approach, and could only watch their goddess from afar.
Su Xiyan carried the drink and walked straight to Chen Shuo who was resting on the sideline bench.
Chen Shuo was searching for his drink in his sports bag when a pair of white shoes appeared in front of him.
Following the white shoes upwards were long, fair legs, and perfectly curved thighs.
Looking further up was a white pleated skirt.
Such a perfect long leg proportion could only belong to one person in the entire South University—Su Xiyan.
Chen Shuo didn't need to look further to know who was standing in front of him.
Suddenly, the joy of victory from playing basketball was washed away completely.
Chen Shuo looked at Su Xiyan in front of him helplessly: "Can't you just let me play basketball in peace?"
Su Xiyan handed the iced drink to Chen Shuo: "Take it and drink."
Chen Shuo wasn't going to take it, but with so many eyes watching, he had no choice but to accept Su Xiyan's iced drink.
The surrounding students, especially the boys, all had envious, jealous, and hateful looks in their eyes.
Particularly some seniors who had been pursuing Su Xiyan since enrollment, for three or four years, but she hadn't even looked at them once.
Their unattainable goddess was now sending a freshman an icy beverage?
And what was that smile in Goddess Su's eyes?!
This guy, what makes him so special?!
The boys outside were about to gnash their back teeth!
They wouldn't accept it! Why did Chen Shuo deserve the goddess's favor?
Chen Shuo took the drink from Su Xiyan and gulped down several big mouthfuls.
On a scorching summer day after a workout, drinking a few sips of chilled beverage was simply the best!
After putting down the bottle, Chen Shuo was about to grab a wet towel to wipe off his sweat when suddenly a cool breeze hit him, feeling exceptionally refreshing.
Su Xiyan sat on the same bench as Chen Shuo, holding a fully charged portable mini fan, blasting it on the highest setting towards Chen Shuo.
It felt so cool and comfortable!
The small fan also carried a familiar fragrance—no doubt Su Xiyan's favorite perfume.
He'd drank the water, enjoyed the mini fan, but Chen Shuo still had an unpleasant expression on his face.
The boys around now had even sharper eyes!
What did Chen Shuo's expression mean??
Getting served a drink by the school beauty, even with a school beauty mini fan, yet he was still not pleased??
Chen Shuo looked at Su Xiyan, quickly recalling if he'd forgotten to complete any household chores.
Otherwise, why would Su Xiyan specifically run to the court?
Could it be that she came here just to give him an iced drink and a mini fan?
No way! She wouldn't be that kind.
Seeing Chen Shuo's expression fluctuate, Su Xiyan couldn't help but laugh: "Chen Shuo, what are you thinking about?"
Chen Shuo answered without hesitation: "I'm thinking about whether you have some new scheme to deal with me again."
"You should let your admirers see how scheming you really are!"
Su Xiyan smiled at Chen Shuo: "Rest assured, I won't scheme against them."
"Only you are worth scheming for."
Hearing Su Xiyan's words, Chen Shuo felt like he was about to spit out the drink he just drank.
"...Should I feel honored then?"
Su Xiyan even thought Chen Shuo's words made perfect sense, nodding naturally: "Mm-hmm!"
Chen Shuo: "I can't bear this blessing, you should give it to your admirers instead! They would be delighted."
Su Xiyan didn't care about Chen Shuo's sarcasm, her eyes full of fantasy: "Chen Shuo, have you watched Slam Dunk?"
Chen Shuo nodded: "Of course, I loved Rukawa Kaede when I was little! I fantasized about being Rukawa Kaede on the court."
Su Xiyan: "That's not the point, the point is, girls like to go to the sidelines to watch the boys play ball."
"Can I come watch you play in the future?"
Chen Shuo was so startled he immediately stood up from the bench: "No no no!"
"How can I perform if you're on the sidelines?"
Su Xiyan smiled ambiguously at Chen Shuo: "Are you saying you can't concentrate on the game if I'm on the sidelines?"
Chen Shuo almost didn't know how to respond to that, he could only shake his hands repeatedly:
"Even though you can be a little fierce, you're still a girl and should have your own recreational activities. No need to come watch me play ball."
"Playing leaves you smelly and sweaty, don't you have a cleanliness obsession? Better not come watch me play ball."
Chen Shuo's every strand of hair radiated defiance.
Su Xiyan was a little disappointed, but the disappointment only lasted a few seconds.
A few seconds later, Su Xiyan felt Chen Shuo was actually quite challenging!
Great, Chen Shuo, you've successfully triggered my competitive spirit!
Su Xiyan looked at Chen Shuo, full of youthful energy, her heart already kindled with a desire to win.
I, Su Xiyan, have never admitted defeat!
Soon, Chen Shuo finished resting and it was his turn to go back on court.
After the drink, thorough rest, and Su Xiyan's fragrant mini fan service, Chen Shuo felt like all his energy had recovered.
As he returned to the court, Chen Shuo noticed that not only the opposing players, but even his own teammates seemed to have envious, jealous, and hateful looks in their eyes.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
