He Yuan did not even bat an eye at Little Gen, dribbled, passed through, jumped and scored!
The whistle sounded!
The sports department scored two more points!
âF&ck! Are you blind? Youâre ignoring him for crashing into others and injuring them to this degree?!â someone shouted. Unable to hold himself back, he rushed up to the referee to question him.
âHe Yuan broke through his defense. That person fell on his own, donât slander others!â The referee retorted confidently, then added coldly, âIf you disrespect me again, Iâll revoke your right to compete!â
âYour sister! You think youâre a big shot just because youâre some dog sh*t referee? We have this many people as witnesses!â Potato roared.
âAre you the referee or am I the referee now?â The referee scoffed, âThe first half has ended. Break for 15 minutes!â
The results for the first half were 39: 93. The language department was behind by a huge margin.
Everyone in the language department had an ugly look on their face. At the same time, other audiences too started noticing the foul play involved but they could not do anything about it.
The basketball competition was an activity run by the students, whereby the university authorities hardly concerned themselves with it as it was handled by the student council directly. That was why He Yuan dared to act with impunity.
âLittle Gen, are you okay?â Ye Lingchen asked while holding him up.
âItâs fine, just... I think I sprained my ankle,â he replied as he tried to move his foot. That motion brought a crease to his brows, causing him to gasp in pain.
He Yuanâs tackle was obviously unreserved and intentional.
âThat b*stard. Heâs the spokesperson of shamelessness!â
âLetâs stop this match. Whatâs the point? Iâll find a chance and give He Yuan a good beating!â
âLittle Gen wonât be able to take part in the second half. Letâs send him to the infirmary.â
Right at that moment, Li Muxue came over with Huang Xiaomeng.
Li Muxue looked at Ye Lingchen apologetically, then suggested, âYou should stop the match. In the second half, He Yuan might take it to another level.â
âHe dares!? Worst case Iâll go all out on him!â someone grunted his frustrations. Everyone was suppressing the smoldering rage within them.
âHeâs the student council president after all. If you dare get physical with him, you will get demerits,â Li Muxue continued to explain.
âSo what if heâs the student council president? Whatâs the worst he could do?â
âChickening out? If you want to chicken out then just leave. Itâll save you the embarrassment of having your *ss handed to you.â
âYouâre winning through underhanded means. Whatâs there to boast about?â
âUnderhanded means?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He Yuan scoffed, then looked at them condescendingly, âYou know why Iâm picking on your guys?â
His eyes narrowed, then pointed a finger at Ye Lingchen, âItâs because of him! Since heâs a student of your language department, then your entire department will have to bear the consequences of his actions!â
He Yuan then looked towards Little Gen, âYes, Iâve hit you on purpose. What about it? You can only blame your luck. Itâs your fault that youâre Ye Lingchenâs roommate.â
âF*ck you! Cheating b*stard!â Little Gen barked at He Yuan.
âYou shouldnât hate me. The one you should hate is Ye Lingchen. Heâs the one to cross me first.â He Yuan looked down on them as though the victor, then walked towards Ye Lingchen, speaking calmly, âIâve told you before that Iâm not one you can cross. Just you wait. Iâll always keep you under my foot!â
Ye Lingchen remained calm. The He Yuan at that moment was nothing but a clown to him.
He would not fight with a clown, but he would not let a clown dance all around him as he wished too.
Ye Lingchenâs eyes locked onto He Yuan, giving him a cold icy look, âSeems like itâs time for me to show my real skills.â
âWhat?â
âBasketball, you all suck at it!â Ye Lingchen waved him off, âI donât mind educating you!â
With that statement, everyone was stunned.
Was that... boasting?
âDo you know what youâre saying?â He Yuan looked at Ye Lingchen as though it was all a joke, âHave you played basketball before? Do you even know what a basketball is?!â
Ye Lingchen stood there with hands behind his back, eyes calm as still water, âAt first, it was not worth my time to deal with you. However, with your constant provocations, Iâll have to teach you how to be a proper human being!â
âF*ck! Are you addicted to bragging?!â He Yuan laughed at the ridiculous statements. âJust who do you think you are?â
The crowd around them broke into discussions, murmurs washed through the crowd as they looked at Ye Lingchen in surprise.
Ye Lingchen was trying to compete with He Yuan in basketball?
âStop your nonsense and leave! Iâll see you in the second half of the match!â Ye Lingchen waved him off as though shooing an annoying fly.
âSure. I hope you donât run away then!â
âYe Lingchen, why are you so hot-headed!?â
Once He Yuan had left, Gao Wen immediately walked up to him, âThe score gap in the first half is too big. Since we canât win this, thereâs no point to compete with a cheating team.â
âThatâs right! Yeâzi, we know that youâre good at fighting, but basketball is not the same thing. There are competition rules. They can go against the rules, but we canât!â Xiang chimed in.
âYeâzi, letâs just call this match off. That b*stard is trying to get at you. Once youâre on the court, who knows what he might do to you?â Potato stated worryingly.
âYeâzi, your bragging skills are really something to be able to aggravate He Yuan like that, but thereâs no need to continue this match.â
âItâs fine everybody, relax. Iâm good at basketball.â Ye Lingchen smiled, âTo be honest, I just didnât want to stoop to their level. To me, their skills are too crappy and I donât like to bully weaklings.â
âFor real?â Everyone eyed him suspiciously.
âYou guys just watch.â Ye Lingchen looked towards Little Gen, âLittle Gen, give me your jersey and hurry over to the infirmary. Relax, Iâll avenge you.â
However, Little Gen refused to go, obstinately wanting to watch Ye Lingchenâs game.
The second half of the match began!
He Yuan looked at Ye Lingchen stepping into the court, an icy gleam flashed across his eyes.
As the first half ended with the sports department scoring, the ball was served to the sports department.
He Yuan took the ball, dribble, broke through defenses, then quickly ran towards the backboard. Along the way, he would tackle those who blocked him. To that, the referee closed an eye to such incidents.
Because of that, he was unstoppable. The entire basketball court turned into his one-man show.
âThatâs just disregarding all the rules. How do you play against that?â The people in the language department were upset.
As the incident got escalated, other people started to join in the audience crowd. Most of them were just there for the drama.
In their eyes, most of them had already considered the sports department as something to avoid, hence they were not surprised to witness such a phenomenon.
Very soon, He Yuan was already under the backboard. He jumped, aimed and shot the ball while maintaining a dashing pose.
âThis shot is a sure hit!â
A smile could be seen on his face, as though he could see Ye Lingchenâs expression in despair.
The ball left his hand, slowly soaring through the air towards the hoop.
Everyone held their breath at that moment.
However, a dark shadow appeared out of nowhere. Like a mountain, rising at an alarming speed. The figure raised his hand and intercepted the ball in the air, smacking it away!
Bang!
A loud thunderous voice echoed throughout the court, shaking everyoneâs eardrums.
Such a beautiful block, it managed to daze a big proportion of the crowd for some time.
âOMG! He Yuan was blocked?!â
âThis is the first time he was blocked right? That was violent!â
âItâs no ordinary block. That was without a doubt the best block ever, almost a slap to his face!â
âThat fella sure has good jumping strength to be able to block He Yuan!â
âYeâzi, wonderful block! Amazing!â The language department went up in cheers excitedly, greatly boosting their morale.
