23: C23 Incoming Ball!

C23 Incoming Ball!

In today's physical education class, the students will be practicing basketball.

Class 18's PE teacher was called Jiang Bin — a handsome young man in his early twenties.

His stylish haircut befitted someone of his age as he dressed himself in a black and white sportswear, appearing to be in high spirits.

Since Class 18 had about the same number of male and female students, under Jiang Bin's arrangements, they were divided into two different training grounds, which were separated by gender.

As for the ordinary high school students who had never played basketball before, they would obviously start by practicing how to dribble a basketball.

Ye Hong, on ther other hand, did not have much interest in basketball. After playing a few rounds, he found an excuse to sit by the sidelines to laze around.

Under a small tree at the side of the field, Ye Hong leaned against the trunk and closed his eyes to rest for a moment.

[Ding! Detecting conservation of energy... Vitality: +1, Current progress 1/10, Current level: Beginner-level.]

Even with his eyes closed, he would still be constantly strengthening his abilites...

How great would it be if he could simply lie down and earn money?

The autumn sun quickly embraced Ye Hong in its warmth and comfort as it shone onto his body — causing him to succumb to his slothful tendencies.

Zhang Xuewei, who was sitting on the training ground for the female students, fell into a gaze as her eyes began darting to the shade of the tree in the distance.

"Xuewei, look at how distracted you are!"

"Hurry up and go find your little lover. If Teacher Jiang asks where you went, we'll just tell him that you went to the toilet."

Being teased by the girls, Zhang Xuewei's face and ears suddenly flushed red in embarrassment, "Wh-what little lover? Stop speaking nonsense!"

Despite her rebuttal, she quickly bit her lower lip and shyly said, "Don't forget your promise!"

With that, she ran towards Ye Hong's location.

Standing behind him was a group of teenage girls giggling non-stop.

Ye Hong's ears twitched as his enhanced hearing allowed him to quickly notice the movement of the person closing in on him.

Hm? Could it be that Jiang Bin had caught him red-handed?

Opening his eyes slightly, he noticed a small, sweat-drenched face slowly moving closer to him in his line of sight.

With a sniff of his nose, the hint of a girl's unique fragrance lingered up his nose drills and jolted his sense of smell.

The goddess of his class truly lived up to her name — her appearance such a pleasing scene to one's eyes.

"Xuewei, what's the matter?"

Zhang Xuewei turned her head away shyly and passed a bottle of mineral water to Ye Hong.

"Ah! I got it. You want me open it for you, right?"

Ye Hong took the bottle of water and cracked open its cap.

However, just as he was about to pass the water back, Zhang Xuewei lowered her head and said in an extremely soft voice, "It... It's for you…"

Ye Hong was stunned for a moment before he said with a smile, "Thanks, Xuewei. The apples were also delicious yesterday."

He then gulped down a few mouthfuls of the cold mineral water.

Zhang Xuewei raised her head and said happily, "Then I'll bring it to you every day!"2

Looking at each other with a youthful smile, the scene was filled with the bashful nature of the relationship between a young boy and girl — truly a beautiful sight to behold.

However, this scene incinerated the fire in a certain person's eyes as his heart scorched in the flame of jealousy.

Qin Loong clenched his fists and trembled in pure rage as he looked at the couple in the distance under the tree's shade.

"Give me the ball!"

He shouted at a boy who was dribbling the basketball, causing him to instictively pass the ball to him in shock.

Qin Loong began dribbling the basketball, not towards the hoop, but instead, towards Ye Hong and Zhang Xuewei.

Pretending to lose control of the ball, he cunningly added a bit more force and sent the basketball flying in Ye Hong's direction.

"Ye Hong, go to hell!"

Qin Loong's bloodshot eyes opened wide as his expression twisted like a man who lost his mind.
