Chapter 101 – They hadn’t expected they’d be leaving with “souvenirs” after the game today (1)
Both the No. 1 High School and the International School’s basketball team were fairly well-known among the high schools within City Nan. They had both won plenty of trophies, and the two schools were rivals.
This time, nobody remembered who was the one who started it, but both schools were onto each other and stated that they must have a game to decide which team was the better one.
And that’s why Lu MingZhe got looped into this interschool game.
Lu MingZhe was your standard male lead – handsome and tall with impeccable grades.
Most importantly, he was excellent in basketball!
No. 1 High School had reached out to him plenty of times to recruit him, but he simply couldn’t be bothered…
If his uncle didn’t pick up the call from the captain of the basketball team and accepted the invitation for him, he’d rather be reading at home.
Looking unhappy, Lu MingZhe was silent the entire trip, but everybody was already used to his my-dad-just-died-today look and his smile-didn’t-look-like-smile look.
Once the basketball team from No. 1 High School arrived at the International School, they headed straight toward the basketball court. They could hear noises way before they were even close to the basketball court.
When they got closer, they could see through the fence that there were hordes and hordes of people and the scene was quite spectacular.
“Shoot. Did they invite the entire school here to cheer them on?” Someone smacked his lips.
“What? A school as weak as the International School has a fan base? Are they paying these people to be here?”
Inside the basketball court right now, there were a lot of Form 1 (freshman) and Form 2 (sophomores) from the International School.
The original Form 3 (junior) students have already graduated, so the basketball recruited a couple soon-to-be freshmen to play on the team.
And Xu Jie was one of them.
Xu Jie knew that Meng Yuran was very athletic and was good with both basketball and soccer. He had asked him to join them a few times in the past, but 9 times out of 10 he’d decline…
And the remaining one time depended on his mood.
This time, pigs were probably flying for him to actually accept his invitation…
Even now, Xu Jie felt that he was dreaming.
And, after he found out that Meng Yuran would be coming and he announced it in their class’s group chat, a bunch of girls volunteered to come to cheer on Meng Yuran…
That bunch of boy-craze girls!
Once he arrived at school, it wasn’t just the girls from his class that he was seeing!
Did the girls from his class invite every girl from other classes as well?
Meng Yuran had on a black tee today with a jersey tossed to him from the basketball team. One with the number 9 on the back of it.
His skin tone was light, and he was pretty. Standing under the sun, he looked like he was glowing. He was very eye-catching.
He had always been sort of the leader of Primary 6 (equivalent of pre-junior high), and many girls were fond of him secretly. Many times, when he was walking down the hallways at school or on his way to the cafeteria, as long as he was there, girls would stop to ogle him.
Over half of the summer vacation was already over when the others suddenly realized that they haven’t seen the prettiest boy in their school for a long time. All of a sudden, the words spread that he was coming out today, and everybody wanted to come and watch him play basketball.
That’s when those from the No.1 High School arrived.
The basketball players from both sides stared at each other from afar. Both teams looked down on each other, yet they couldn’t help but stare at each other as though they were staring at their archnemesis.
Chatty girls, a few boys who were too bored and with nothing else better to do, and the two back up basketball players were all whispering at each other.
Of course, they were rooting for their own school. But their opposing team wasn’t half bad either, especially the handsome boy in the white tee. He was quite good looking as well and made many people’s heads turn as soon as he walked inside.
Granted, everybody was very biased.
They looked up and down the little handsome boy and whispered to their buddies next to them. Their Meng Yuran was still the more attractive one of the two!
What kind of fireworks would there be when the two attractive boys met mano a mano on the basketball court?
