“He was so cool when he said five to one, but isn’t that a little too rash?”
“He’s obviously taken the bait set by Yu Hai and those idiots!”
“Yea, Yu Hai and his friends are so shameless!”
Word of the basketball compet.i.tion between Mo Ning and Yu Hai began to spread.
Soon, a ma.s.sive crowd started to form in the area.
As a standout amongst the freshmen, Mo Ning was the center of attention.
The girls were all excited for her and even the guys gathered to watch the match.
h.o.a.rds of students arrived at the basketball court. The audience seats were fully occupied.
At the center of the court was Mo Ning in white s.h.i.+rt and tracksuit. She looked composed as usual.
Yu Hai and his gang studied their opponent with scorn. “I will hold back a little so that you won’t lose too badly.”
Mo Ning raised an eyebrow at the jab and put a chilly smile on her face.
“I won’t hold back so that you will lose very badly. Let me say this beforehand… I am very sorry.”
What an *ss, the match has not even started and yet he is so full of himself!
“You’re just faking it!”
“Mo Ning, don’t you think that your ma.s.sive ego will weigh you down?”
“You talk big now, but wait till you lose and be humiliated!”
Mo Ning listened to their sarcastic rebukes and did not bother to explain herself. “You ready?”
“Bring it on!”
The referee, their gym teacher, blew the whistle.
“Begin!”
Both sides went for the ball.
Since Mo Ning was not a professional player, and because Yu Hai and his gang were planning on something…
They agreed not to set any rules for the match.
As long as they shot the basketball from within the white lines that mark the boundary, they could earn a score.
Whoever scored the most in half an hour would be the winner.
“Gambatte, my angel!”
“You got this, Mo Ning, we support you!”
“Yu Hai, show some backbone. You’ll lose our respect if you don’t win!”
As some of the students showed their support for Mo Ning, the guys started cheering for Yu Hai as well.
The basketball court was as noisy as a morning market.
Everyone kept their eyes glued to the court and did not notice the young man who had just sat down in a quiet corner.
“You’re here?” Huo Junyu looked up and saw him.
“You’re here too, so why can’t I?”
Yan Sinian sat down beside him in the last row of the seats and directed his attention to the basketball court with disinterest.
By then, Mo Ning had the ball in her possession.
Yu Hai and his friends tried to surround her to steal the ball back.
Nevertheless, Mo Ning quickly broke through and made a beeline to the basket.
Yan Sinian raised an eyebrow and slowly smiled.
Suddenly, he heard Huo Yunju ask, “Who do you think will win?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Yan Sinian replied, “Of course it’s my dear Ning.”
“I don’t think so.”
Huo Yunju was still young, but he was relatively coolheaded.
This made him look more mature than his age.
“Mo Ning knows kung fu, but he is a good person who will not resort to underhanded tactics. Yu Hai and his friends are different. Besides, they have strength in numbers. If they try anything…”
“How about we make a bet?”
