What’s going on here?
Hey guys, don't get too excited!
I'm your teammate!
How can you be so hostile towards your own teammate?
When Chen Shuo returned to the basketball court to start playing again, he suddenly realized something was very wrong with the atmosphere on the court!
Every player, whether it was an opponent or even his own teammates, was staring at Chen Shuo with jealous and resentful eyes.
Some of the more emotional teammates were even grinding their teeth audibly.
What was with this strong hostility?
Chen Shuo suddenly understood what was going on - it was all because of Su Xiyan!
Su Xiyan was a goddess pursued by thousands, a super beauty who had been the undisputed campus belle for three years running.
With so many eyes on her, she had actually brought chilled drinks and a small electric fan to Chen Shuo.
All this was more than enough to make the other guys around them green with envy.
Chen Shuo shot an accusing look back at Su Xiyan.
His eyes clearly conveyed: You're not just bringing me drinks and a fan, you're sending me to my death!
Su Xiyan also understood the meaning in Chen Shuo's eyes. But she cocked her chin defiantly, shooting him a challenging look in return.
Her expression said: I'm doing this on purpose, what are you going to do about it?
Chen Shuo really didn't dare do anything to Su Xiyan. He could only face the hostility from all the other guys on the court alone.
Luckily, Chen Shuo was in excellent physical condition.
Dribbling the ball, his movements agile, the basketball seemed glued to his hand. Spinning and leaping, he had already broken past several defenders.
Outside the 3-point line, Chen Shuo saw his chance. He jumped up and shot, hands outstretched.
Swish - it went in.
Now all the other players just wanted to cry in despair.
Their hearts were filled with hopelessness: they just couldn't beat him, they stood no chance at all!
In romance, they were no match for Chen Shuo, they could only watch as he flirted shamelessly with the campus belle Su Xiyan.
And now on the basketball court, they were still getting trounced by Chen Shuo.
What kind of human suffering was this...
Immediately, wails of distress rang out across the entire basketball court.
Although Chen Shuo was feeling cocky after his performance on the court, he was also dead tired after playing a full game.
Not only were his opponents full of hostility, even his own teammates were less than friendly.
This game had really taken it out of him!
At courtside, Su Xiyan was holding a refreshingly cool, wet towel. As soon as Chen Shuo came off the court, she immediately handed it to him.
The students around them nearly popped their eyes out at the sight.
The campus belle was personally handing him a towel? What kind of VIP treatment was this?
The girls weren't as concerned, and had even started gossiping.
"Wow, this is just like that scene in Slam Dunk where Haruko Akagi hands a towel to Sakuragi! "
"It's like a scene straight out of a manga happening in real life - how sweet!"
"It's like something straight out of an idol drama! So enviable!"
...
Chen Shuo had no desire to be the center of everyone's attention. Grabbing his gym bag, he briskly strode off the court.
On the shaded campus paths, a light night breeze gently stirred the leaves.
The lamplight filtered through the branches, scattering fragments across the pebbled ground.
Chen Shuo walked ahead, while Su Xiyan gazed at his straight back, strangely happy for some reason.
"Chen Shuo, it's an honor for me to bring you drinks and watch you play ball. You should feel happy about it."
Chen Shuo huffed grumpily: "Didn't you see how all the other guys at courtside, even my own teammates, looked like they wanted to tear me to shreds?"
"I finally understand, Su Xiyan. You just want me to become a target for everyone, don't you?"
"You enjoy watching me get ganged up on by the other guys, right?"
A faint smile played about Su Xiyan's coldly beautiful face.
"If not, how else to prove you're my man?"
Chen Shuo: "....since when have I been your man?"
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Shuo remembered how when they first met, his system had suddenly malfunctioned in front of Su Xiyan.
To save his own life, the weak little vampire could only cling to the powerful demon hunter's leg, promising to be her man from then on and do whatever she said.
It didn't seem like very long ago at all. How could he have forgotten so quickly?
Seeing the defiant look on Chen Shuo's face gradually dissipate, a smug smile spread across Su Xiyan's face.
"You have to keep the words you've spoken, the promises you've made, in your heart at all times."
"No matter what I do, you can only accept it - understand?"
Chen Shuo was wearing a sleeveless basketball jersey, revealing his muscular, well-toned arms.
He had broad shoulders and a good physique, giving an impression of strength and security.
How could she let a little brother like this belong to anyone else?
His secure aura was for her alone to monopolize.
Chen Shuo could see the look in Su Xiyan's eyes changing.
It seemed he understood something.
His face paled in shock, and he clasped his hands over his chest protectively.
"Su...Su Xiyan, you can't be thinking of..."
"I get it, you're coveting my flesh...I mean, my body!"
Chen Shuo thought this would make Su Xiyan restrain herself a little.
But instead, the suggestive smile on Su Xiyan's face only grew more pronounced.
She slowly stepped towards Chen Shuo on her long legs, not stopping until she stood right in front of him.
Now they were face to face, very close together.
Su Xiyan raised her hand, and slim fingers as white and smooth as jade gently touched Chen Shuo's firm abs through the thin fabric of his jersey.
Even just this light fingertip brush, with a layer of clothing still between them, made Chen Shuo feel like an electric current was passing through his whole body.
The feeling was so subtle.
"We're on school grounds here, Su Xiyan - just what are you trying to do?"
Su Xiyan's foxy eyes glanced up at Chen Shuo as she asked in reply, "What do you want me to do?"
Chen Shuo quickly looked away, not daring to meet Su Xiyan's gaze.
Her eyes were too mesmerizing, like a deep whirlpool - one more glance and he would sink right in.
"This is a public place, you you you...need to be more aware of your influence!"
"Su Xiyan! I, Chen Shuo, am not that kind of easy man!"
"It's a cliche, but I don't sell my art or my body - you'd better watch yourself!"
Despite his stubborn tone, Chen Shuo's words couldn't fully conceal the panic in his heart.
Su Xiyan took another half-step forward. Now their bodies were almost touching.
Chen Shuo's whole body was taut. Su Xiyan's aura was too powerful! Damn it, he couldn't move his feet - what was going on?
