Chapter Twenty-Six: Unexpected

  The second half of the game began. Before taking the field, the captain of the red team specially called all the players together and seriously told them to pay attention to the details.

  "Come on!" The red team stretched out their hands to encourage each other.

  Before going on stage, Zhang Lvqian turned his head to glance at the angry faces in the crowd, and a smile spread across his face.

  He just wanted her to see that his ball skills wouldn't lose to hers! At the same time, he also had a thread of expectation in his heart that he had never had before, expecting to get her approval.

  The second half of the game was more intense than the first, with both teams' scores close together. The red team captain became a target for the yellow team members, and the red team's assists were very careful not to give them any free throw opportunities.

  The referee's whistle sounded, echoing through the boiling basketball court, and the yellow team was awarded a free throw.

  At this time, the yellow team and red team's score is 99:97

  A glimmer of victory flickered on the face of the yellow team, while the red team was surprisingly calm. In the last 20 minutes, every member of the red team worked well together, and their captain made three three-pointers.

  The referee's whistle rings again, time is over.

  The game result is out, Yellow Team and Red Team score 102:108

  The red team wins.

  In an instant, the surging crowd erupted into a joyful frenzy...

  The captain of the red team slowly walked up to the defeated captain of the yellow team, looking at his face full of discontent and despair, a cold smile spreading from the corner of his mouth.

  "Do you know why you will lose?" He looked at him with a domineering expression.

  "Hmph... I lost, so what? There's nothing to say!" He glanced away, refusing to look at the winner's face.

  "Pride goes before a fall!" He said, and then he walked away from the court without looking back, believing that he understood his meaning.

  Watching his receding back, Captain Huang suddenly realized why he had lost. It wasn't that his abilities were insufficient, but rather that he was too self-assured...

  Zhang Lvqian slowly picked up the ball on the ground, and with one hand, he threw it into the surging crowd. His target was not someone else, but the person he had just hit a ball at. His action instantly caught the attention of many girls in the audience. The game was over, but there were still many people who did not want to leave.

  Lin Yuchen caught the ball he threw and walked straight to the court. He was just challenging her, wasn't he? Last time she let him win, didn't he feel uneasy about it?

  "Is there something wrong with your brain?" As soon as she stepped onto the stage, she blurted out such a sentence for no reason.

  "No problem, I just wanted to compete with you." He smiled at her, his eyes overflowing with a gentleness that even he himself hadn't noticed.

  "I don't want to." She refused him firmly.

  "Why?" He raised an eyebrow, looking at her with some displeasure.

  "There's no why." Want to compete with him? He smashed her twice today (although he didn't hit her), how can she still be in the mood to compete with him?!

  "If there's no why, then why not compare with me?" His anger started to rise...

  "I'm too lazy to care about you!" She said, shoving the basketball into his hands and storming off.

  "Halt!" He hastily called out to her, and unexpectedly, his action instantly quieted the boiling crowd. Hmm, a thought flashed through his mind...

  She turned around to look at him, but saw his eerie smile, thinking in her heart that he must be up to some kind of mischief again.

  "If you don't compete with me, I'll make you the target of all the girls in school..." He walked over slowly, saying this as if it was a threat. Although he knew she was very silly, he didn't believe that she wouldn't understand the implication of his words.

  "Are you threatening me?" She looked at him in a bit of disbelief, did his grandfather make a mistake?! She wasn't competing with him, so why would he need to threaten her?!

  "What about you?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a tempting and mischievous expression.

  "If I must be stubborn!" She just couldn't stand his expression that seemed to say, "Everyone should yield to me, and only I am superior."

  "You'd better not try!" He leaned over and whispered in her ear.
