In reality, Meng Yuran only gave the other boy one look before he turned away quietly. All he needed to do was to do a good job at his fourth position.
His role as the small forward emphasized a lot of positioning himself. He needed to be close to the basketball at the right time and always be ready to shoot. His height was handicapped a little compared to someone from Form 2, so his role was as eye-catching as that of the power forward’s role.
Even so, every time he got the basketball, cheers would erupt from the audiences…
It almost distracted him from throwing the ball that he had just got!
Enough said. The most attention-grabbing position of power forward, played by the basketball team captain, even when he scored 10 times, still didn’t get as much attention as the small forward.
That did not make the team captain very happy.
Lu MingZhe didn’t pay too much attention to the team members of the opposing team.
Even the young man who caught a lot of the audiences’ attention.
With his white tee and the jersey over it with the red number 5, his handsomeness was also almost palpable.
As much as the girls from the International School were fond of Meng Yuran and as biased as they were, they still couldn’t say that Lu MingZhe wasn’t good looking…
He was, as a matter of fact, very handsome!
Many of the girls snuck glances at him….
In the field, Lu MingZhe just ran inside the inner circle, caught the ball passed to him by his teammate, and was about to shoot the hoop when all of a sudden, someone appeared in front of him out of nowhere.
No. 9 from the other team!
The two most handsome boys met face to face on the court…
At that very moment, all the girls held their breath.
OOOOohhhhhh!
They really couldn’t tell who was the more attractive of the two!
At the end, the International School barely won the game by 6 extra points.
It was a friendly game, but everybody gave it their best.
As much as No.1 High School’s basketball team wasn’t happy with their defeat, at least they didn’t lose by too much. Just a measly 6 points. The last game played at No.1 High School, their opponent lost by 12 points!
And, just like what International School did before, oO.1 High School also used “home court advantage” as their excuse.
Lu MingZhe and his teammates sat down and drank some water before they saw the players from International School come out from their break room after they had rinsed off their faces.
Among them, the No. 9 player was surrounded by most, though not all, of the audience.
No. 9 player was the one who guarded Lu MingZhe so well that he had missed a few shots.
Meng Yuran was dripping in sweat. He quickly splashed some water onto his face before he went back outside.
When they went out, all the others were still there, including those from No.1 High School.
The captains of the two teams greeted each other and stepped aside, talking with each other.
“Meng Yuran, are you thirsty? Would you like some water?”
A girl squeezed out of the crowd and handed him a bottle of water.
Meng Yuran, “……”
The young man with zero self-awareness took the water without giving it much thought…
Once the other girls who came prepared but were intimidated to take the first move saw that he had accepted the water, the rest of them all handed him their water, beverages, etc.
When the other team members of the basketball team noticed it, the little handsome boy on their team had already been drowned by the crowd…
When the little handsome boy was finally able to fight his way out of the crowd, he had in his arms and on the ground next to him, all sorts of iced beverages given to him by the girls.
The rest of the basketball team & Xu Jie, “……”
We were totes envious, alright?!
Their burning stares were so piercing that even the completely clueless Meng Yuran couldn’t help but notice.
He looked around at all his teammates and finally at Xu Jie and asked, “Would you guys like some water?”
“YES!” Replied the rest of them with their teeth gritted.
Hot dang! They wouldn’t let him just keep everything to himself!
Even each member of No.1 High School’s basketball team got one each. They hadn’t expected they’d be leaving with “souvenirs” after the game today.
