Chapter 19: 19

Conflict

The already lively basketball court was on fire because of the appearance of the male lead.

More than half of the girls stood up, screaming and cheering in Shao Qi’s direction.

Shao Qi holds a basketball in his hand.

Ignoring the girls who went crazy, he walked to the court with a cold expression and warmed up by dribbling.

Everyone knew Tan Kai would play today, so anyone who usually plays basketball vacated the court.

Now only Shao Qi didn’t give him face.

Tan Kai instantly felt humiliated and full of anger towards Shao Qi. He looked at Lin Shu and asked, “What are you excited about? Aren’t I more handsome than him?”

Lin Shu curled her lips and restrained the excitement on her face. She sat down, and tutted proudly, “Shao Qi is the School Grass, the most handsome boy in school.”

Tan Kai looked unhappy and strode towards Shao Qi.

Lin Shu looked at Tan Kai’s angry back and loudly inquired, “What are you going to do?”

Tan Kai turned around, his fists clenched, and smiled. “Naturally, I’m going to teach him a lesson.”

Hearing this, Lin Shu immediately stood up, but her wrist was suddenly held by a soft hand.

Lin Shu turned her head and lowered her eyes, staring at the person who stopped her. “Shen Man, what are you doing?”

“We girls shouldn’t get involved in their business.” Shen Man said with a slight smile, applying force to her wrist.

Lin Shu tilted over and was pulled back down. She pouted and shook Shen Man’s hand off. Shen Man withdrew her hand, with a faint smile on her beautiful face.

Yin Ruxu’s eyes circled around the two, then she approached Shen Man and asked softly, “Shao Qi in your class seems really popular. Do many students in your class like him?”

She looks at Shen Man with shining eyes.

Shen Man smiled gently, and looked in the direction of the male lead, answering, “Not only our class, there’s countless girls in other classes who like him too.”

“It’d be so nice to be in your class. You can see Shao Qi every day.” Yin Ruxu murmured with envy in her eyes.

The conversation between the two was heard by Lin Shu.

Lin Shu glared at Yin Ruxu disdainfully and sneered, “Shao Qi is the only son of the Shao Group. Even if he gets married in the future, he would find a suitable person for his status.”

She paused and looked at Shen Man, “A nobody definitely isn’t qualified to marry into the Shao family.”

Shen Man looked back with a smile, her eyes deep.

Yin Ruxu turned pale as she bit her lip and lowered her head.

Lin Shu smiled proudly, crossing her long pale legs. Her slender foot shook slightly with her movements.

Shen Man lowers her eyes and stares at the shaking little foot. She gently squeezed her fingers and smiled, “Shushu, you seem to be very confident…”

The rest of her words disappeared into meaningful laughter.

Lin Shu naturally understood and raised her eyebrows proudly.

Her meaning is self-evident.

Shen Man smiled and lowered her head to stare at her light skinned fingers.

The sunlight fell on her side face, casting a shadow on half of her face. Her long eyelashes veiled her drooping eyes and emotions.

Yin Ruxu pursed her lips and said softly, “Shen Man, you’re excellent. I think you can match any good man in this world.”

Shen Man looked up, her eyes dark. She smiled and didn’t respond.

Yin Ruxu’s heart skipped a beat as a trace of panic flashed across her face. She bit her lip and her eyes started to water, “Sorry, I wasn’t trying to make fun of you.”

“I really think you can marry a good person in the future and won’t lose to those rich young ladies.” Her eyes became even more sincere.

Shen Man sneered and replied in a plain tone, “Since when did I say I had a dream of marrying into wealth?”

Yin Ruxu shook and her body shrank back slightly. She shook her head in a hurry, and hurriedly explained, “I didn’t mean that… I just couldn’t bear others despising you like that.”

She had murmured the second half of her sentence, but Shen Man still heard it.

She stayed silent and looked at the basketball court.

Only the male lead and the second male lead were left on the originally lively court.

Tan Kai shouted, “Let’s 1 v 1, as long as you can make it in, you win.”

Shao Qi held the basketball with a cold face.

Tan Kai deliberately laughed and said, “If you’re really a man, you’d accept the challenge.”

Shao Qi’s eyes narrowed and there was a trace of anger on his indifferent face.

The atmosphere on court was tense.

Lin Shu watched anxiously, her eyes full of worry, “What is Tan Kai, this idiot, doing? Why is he provoking Shao Qi?”

“It’s normal for guys to compete with each other.” Shen Man replied with a smile.

Lin Shu immediately glared at Shen Man, “Did I ask you?”

After saying that, she stopped for a few seconds and couldn’t help asking, “Say, who do you think would win?”

“Who do you wish would win?” Shen Man replied.

“I…” Lin Shu paused, and her small pale face showed entanglement.

Naturally, she wants Shao Qi to win but she doesn’t want Tan Kai to lose either.

Shen Man saw her inner thoughts at a glance and says, “No matter who wins or loses, in the end, a person from our class would win.”

Lin Shu was stunned and reflected on the meaning of her words. There was nothing to refute, so she was in a better mood.

Yin Ruxu looked at the two and smiled softly, “Shen Man is right. They’re bringing us an exciting game. There’s no need to focus on who wins or loses.”

Lin Shu glanced at her and ignored her.

Shen Man smiled and stayed silent.

Yin Ruxu felt a little embarrassed. She quietly glanced at Shen Man and bit her lip, her eyes pitiful, “I shouldn’t have spoken, right?… instead of being hated.”

“The round has begun. Let’s continue watching.” Shen Man said.

Yin Ruxu immediately showed a weak smile and nodded obediently.

Lin Shu looked at them talking so close, and tilted her head to one side with a humph.

Shen Man looks over with questioning eyes, “What’s wrong?”

“Weren’t you going to the office? Why did you come back with her?” Lin Shu asked in annoyance.

Shen Man smiled softly and replied, “We met along the way and decided to come together.”

“Well isn’t that remarkable? That you two can meet so coincidentally.” Lin Shu sneers.

Shen Man hooked her lips and nodded, “It’s really remarkable.”

Lin Shu couldn’t tell whether Shen Man understood what she meant. She frowned and added, “I remember that the office building of our department is a long distance away from that of the Arts department.”

Yin Ruxu heard this and quickly said, “The teacher in charge of electives is in the building of your department. I just happened to see Shen Man when I helped my classmate hand in work.”

Lin Shu looks towards Shen Man.

Shen Man’s face remains unchanged as she continues to nod.

Lin Shu snorted and said, “I shouldn’t even have bothered.”

Shen Man calmly smiled and looked at the present basketball match.

Both the male lead and the second male are good at playing. Every action from the two elicits a scream from the crowd.

Tan Kai defended the net hard and kept preventing Shao Qi from scoring. Sweat dripped down his handsome face.

Shao Qi still looked as usual but his usually indifferent face turned slightly red. It made him look a bit more approachable.

The girls in the bleachers shouted and cheered one after another. Lin Shu is also amongst them.

“Shao Qi with a red face looks so handsome. How could anyone be this good looking?” Lin Shu excitedly grabbed another person’s hands.

Shen Man looked at her beautifully manicured fingers and fell into a trance. She shifted her hand to hold Lin Shu’s tightly.

Lin Shu didn’t realize it and instead squeezed Shen Man’s hand more forcefully, “Look, Shao Qi is about to score!”

Hearing this, Shen Man looked up and watched the two people running around on the court.

Shao Qi was dribbling the ball and looking for an opening to shoot.

Tan Kai stood in front of him and stared at his movements.

Suddenly, Shao Qi jumped up and shot.

Tan Kai immediately jumped up too to try and block the ball.

The two of them moved very fast and aggressively. Before the people in the bleachers could see their actions clearly, they noticed the basketball flying in the opposite direction of the hoop. It happened to move towards the center of the bleachers.

Lin Shu’s eyes widen as she sees the fast-flying basketball gradually enlarging in her field of view.

Her brain went blank and her body froze, unable to react.

Shen Man realized the danger and quickly pushed Lin Shu aside, “Be careful!”

With a ‘thump’, the basketball hit Shen Man’s shoulder ricochets over the seats behind her.

Shen Man looked as if her shoulders were fractured. She gritted her teeth and gasped in pain.

Everything was suddenly in chaos.

One after the other, the people in the crowd were shouting in panic.

Lin Shu opens her eyes and looks at the beautiful face sweating in pain. Her eyes widened in shock!
