Chapter 545: Chapter 200: A Disturbance on the Basketball Court, Bai Weixi Meets Xia Zhijin Again_3

The basketball soared through the air, tracing a graceful arc toward the hoop.

Unfortunately, the arc was a bit too high.

THUD.

The ball smacked against the rim and bounced high into the air.

Li Yuan shoved the starting center from Computer Science Class 2 aside. His immense strength allowed him to lock down the position as he waited for the rebound. He timed his jump perfectly, leaping up to snatch the ball firmly out of the air.

Then, without even looking to pass to a guard, he became a point forward himself. Using his powerful body to muscle past the opposing center, he took off, sprinting toward the frontcourt.

Liu Jia hadn’t even reacted before he saw Li Yuan dribbling down the court alone. In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan had already crossed the three-point line while Liu Jia was just starting to move. A curse slipped from his lips.

"Fuck, Yuan is unbelievably fast! He’s not going for another fast break, is he?"

"Their two guards are already back on defense, so a fast break is impossible. We could just wait for our team to get set, use our height advantage, and run a slow play."

Ren Jun was speechless, muttering, "Shit, Yuan’s athleticism is just insane, almost freakish. We simply can’t keep up."

Wu Hao had just started to follow, but he stopped and stared wide-eyed before even reaching mid-court. He watched as Li Yuan came from behind, dribbling with his right hand. A defender tried to stop him, but Li Yuan forcefully shoved him aside, blew past the Computer Science Class 2 guards, and charged toward the basket. He took three steps, leaped high into the air, and slammed down another two-handed dunk. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Wu Hao stopped in his tracks, turned, and headed back to the backcourt. He chuckled to himself, "Well, with Yuan playing like James, even a normal set play turns into a coast-to-coast fast break... We just need to get back and focus on defense."

"Damn, another solo dunk! Li Yuan is totally dominating. There’s no way to play against this!"

"He’s unbelievably good. With that skill and physique, why is he playing in a class tournament? He should just join the university team and play in the CUBA, shouldn’t he?"

"Damn, comparing yourself to him is just depressing. Li Yuan is outstanding in every single way. Ugh, if I were that cool playing ball, I could switch girlfriends whenever I wanted in college, spend every night..."

On the court, the action was a flurry of back-and-forth plays. Li Yuan’s formidable physique made the crowd, men and women alike, erupt in continuous cheers.

"Li Yuan, I love you!"

"Go, Li Yuan!"

Ignoring the strange looks from those around her, Wang Jierong stood at the very front, cheering for Li Yuan at the top of her lungs.

Her generous chest, jiggling with every cheer, and her pale thighs visible beneath her JK uniform drew constant sidelong glances from the boys in the crowd. Some even discreetly placed a hand over their laps to hide their body’s obvious reaction.

Across the way, Li Lanrong listened to Wang Jierong acting like a cheerleader, striking alluring poses and boldly declaring her love for Li Yuan. She couldn’t help but purse her lips.

She nudged Xia Zhijin’s arm, intentionally trying to get her attention.

"Zhijin, that Wang Jierong is so shameless. She’s a total vixen. You’d better keep a close eye on Li Yuan from now on."

Xia Zhijin’s eyes were glued to the court, following Li Yuan as he sprinted back and forth, completely oblivious to Li Lanrong’s words.

Gao Xin glanced at Li Lanrong and chuckled inwardly, finding the situation hilarious.

With Xia Zhijin’s personality, it’d be a miracle if she could keep Li Yuan in check. Besides, rumor has it that Li Yuan already has four girlfriends. He’s a complete and utter scumbag. They’d also seen that gorgeous girl from the School of Finance and Accounting come looking for Li Yuan in class—she was far prettier than Wang Jierong. Given his standards, Wang Jierong wouldn’t even be on his radar. Of course, Wang Jierong did have her own merits. She was sexy, alluring, and definitely... well-endowed. She was also brazenly flirtatious. Maybe one day Li Yuan would want a taste of that flavor...

...

Outside, it was already past 5:10 p.m. when Bai Weixi, Wang Lisha, and Deng Meiqi arrived at the basketball courts.

Deng Meiqi stared, dumbfounded, at the dozens of courts.

"Weixi, Shasha, there are so many courts. Which one is Li Yuan on?"

Wang Lisha grumbled, pouting, "Which one do you think? It has to be the one with the biggest crowd. I don’t even have to guess."

"Right, Weixi?"

Bai Weixi nodded absentmindedly. With Li Yuan’s current reputation, his participation in a basketball game was bound to attract a huge crowd. At Daxia University, he was undeniably the top celebrity, even more famous than the university president.

Deng Meiqi took Bai Weixi’s small hand, pointed to the most crowded court, and teased playfully, "Weixi, Li Yuan must be on that one. Let’s hurry over."

"Haha, just imagine it! You suddenly show up and cheer for him at the top of your lungs. I bet Li Yuan will be so surprised!"

Or possibly terrified, Bai Weixi thought with self-deprecation. The man she loved was right there in front of her, yet she suddenly felt the urge to retreat.

She hesitated until Deng Meiqi and Wang Lisha flanked her, pulling her by the arms to the edge of the court.

As they drew near, they heard a continuous wave of gasps and chatter from the crowd, punctuated by the high-pitched screams of girls, which made Bai Weixi, Wang Lisha, and Deng Meiqi all frown.

"Li Yuan is unreal, another dunk! Has anyone been counting? It’s not even halfway through the quarter, how many times has he dunked already?"

"Li Yuan, I love you! Li Yuan, I love you! Xia Hua, Xia Hua, go for it! You’re the best!"

"Li Yuan’s female fans are insane. I feel like ninety percent of the girls here came just for him. He’s clearly a scumbag, so why do they all still like him? I really don’t get these girls."
