Chapter 145: The Basketball Association’s Invitation

‘Who am I?

‘Where am I?

‘What am I doing?’

Ye Lingchen had never felt as dumbfounded as he was then. His mind went blank and he froze on the spot.

At the same time, those hazy eyes were at first surprised, then terrified, then shocked. It finally evolved into a very harsh scream!

“AGHHHHHHH!”

Li Muxue became flustered, her face reddened, and she nearly fainted.

The scream snapped Ye Lingchen back to his senses. He jumped down without any hesitation and fled quickly.

“I’ve been exposed, run!” Ye Lingchen made a gesture to Little Green and Little Gray. A man and his two wolves then ran off without a trace.

“Sister Muxue, what’s wrong? Did I hurt you?”

Huang Xiaomeng looked at the panicked Li Muxue and asked worriedly.

“I… I just saw Ye Lingchen.” Li Muxue nearly cried.

“WHAT?!”

Huang Xiaomeng was shocked. “Where?”

Li Muxue pointed to the window with a crying voice. “Just from that window, what should we do, he must have seen everything.”

Huang Xiaomeng looked over but saw no traces of Ye Lingchen. She could help but ask doubtfully, “There’s no one where. Did you see wrongly?”

“Sister Muxue, you must be seeing things. This is Hill Spring Residences, a high-end community. How could Ye Lingchen possibly be here? And how could there be such a coincidence in this world?”

“I didn’t see wrongly. It must be him!” Lu Muxue insisted.

“Oh, I know!” Huang Xiaomeng exclaimed. She thought of another possibility and said angrily, “Then that means his rich sugar mommy must surely be living here. Shameful!”

“Xiaomeng, we were seen naked, aren’t you bothered by that at all?” Li Muxue always felt that Huang Xiaomeng’s brain circuits were a bit off.

“What’s the big deal? Everyone is just skin and meat, how different can a person be? We also peeped on him in the toilet last time and saw his ding dong, so this time it’s even,” Huang Xiaomeng said indifferently.

Li Muxue stared blankly at Huang Xiaomeng and was momentarily at a loss for words.

“Xiaomeng, don’t let this happen to us again in the future. I’ll feel embarrassed to death if anyone else sees me,” said Li Muxue as she took a deep breath.

“Oh, Sister Muxue, don’t worry. At most, we’ll just be more careful next time and close the curtains.” After a pause, Huang Xiaomeng’s eyes rolled back and she continued, “But since that gigolo had the balls to peep on us, we’re going to seek an explanation from him!”

…

When they went to school the next day, Little Gen’s trio immediately gathered around with excited looks all over their faces. They then said to Ye Lingchen sneakily,

“Ye’zi, great news, I just heard from the sports department that He Yuan’s status as the student council president has been revoked! He doesn’t even have his position as a sports committee member! Evil has its retribution, muahahahaha, I’m so happy!” Potato happily said.

“Let’s see whether he continues to act bullish in the future?” Xiang then continued, “He better not show up in front of me, otherwise, I’ll beat him every time I see him!”

“If Ye’zi didn’t come forward this time, our school’s reputation would be thrown down the drain. This has attracted the attention of the school leaders!” said Xiao Gen.

It was then that sports committee member Gao Wen came over.

“Ye Lingchen, Principal Shen is looking for you.”

“Principal Shen?!”

Everyone simultaneously exclaimed in surprise.

“Ye’zi, could it be that you’re being invited to become president of the student council?” Xiao Gen speculated.

“OH F*CK! That’s f*ckin’ dope! Ye’zi, you’ll have to cover your three bros next time.” Potato’s eyes shined.

Ye Lingchen shook his head bitterly. He had no time to become student council president.

He followed Gao Wen to the principal’s office. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Principal Shen sitting at the desk and chatting with a middle-aged man.

Ye Lingchen had seen that middle-aged man before. He sat next to the principal during the school basketball competition and his status was evidently very high.

The two men smiled immediately when they saw Ye Lingchen.

The middle-aged man came forward, extended his hand, and spoke first, “Hello, Student Ye, I am the president of Capital’s basketball training association. My surname is Zhang.”

“President Zhang, what an honor.” Ye Lingchen reached out as well and shook hands with Chairman Zhang.

“I was present during the basketball game, and Student Ye’s performance was amazing. I’ll tell you upfront that your level is far beyond the average professional athlete. I was wondering if you are interested in joining our basketball association?” President Zhang got right to the point and asked.

“Join the basketball association?” Ye Lingchen was rather surprised. “Can you tell me what the basketball association does exactly?”

“Ah, pardon my oversight.” President Zhang then continued, “The basketball association is a place to train professional basketball players. Capital Basketball Association recruits and selects the best young basketball players from all over the country. After undergoing training, they can go abroad and play against foreign teams! ”

After a pause, he tried to press further and said, “Student Ye, you must surely have heard of the DBA and MBA. Basketball is a superstar sport now. With your abilities, Student Ye, you can become tomorrow’s basketball star. And when you join our association, there is four-hundred-thousand in allowances and financial aid every year. All meals will be provided as set meals that conform to the highest nutritional standards. We will be responsible for your Five Insurances and One Housing Fund¹! Even if you retire, we will ensure that you receive your life’s basic needs!”

Beside him, Principal Shen also said, “Student Ye, you will also be the pride of Capital University. The university will help with your publicity.”

Fame and fortune!

There was no doubt that President Zhang and Principal Shen came prepared.

How many people, especially those in their youth, could withstand such temptation at that day and age?

It was practically a worry-free life coupled with fame and fortune!

Every basketball player was selected from thousands of people, with their bodies dedicated to national sports, and having to undergo difficult training. It was no surprise that they received such treatment.

Unfortunately for the two men, the boy they were facing was Ye Lingchen.

He shook his head then said, “Thank you, President Zhang, for the admiration, but my ambitions are elsewhere. I’m sorry.”

Both President Zhang and Principal Shen went blank, as though they never expected Ye Lingchen to refuse so decisively. They lost themselves for a brief moment.

President Zhang looked at Ye Lingchen, took a deep breath, and asked, “Student Ye, can you tell me the reason?”

“I have no time to participate in training,” Ye Lingchen answered curtly.

Ye Lingchen did not think too highly for that insignificant amount of money, although the fame did attract his attention. Other than football, basketball was the ball game with the greatest number of fans. Once Ye Lingchen became an outstanding player, it was equivalent to that of a superstar. People would go crazy over him and his popularity would soar!

However, he would decline without hesitation if he had to attend training regularly.

“It’s fine if you want me to join the association, but I won’t attend training all the time. I’ll only play when there’s a competition.”
