Chapter 29

"Regardless of what happened, he hit my brother." Feng Shuo took a deep breath and pointed at Luoyang.

He was very clear that if this matter was let go today, he would completely lose his credibility among his friends.

Liu Qin was too smart, perfectly utilizing her advantage as a woman, leaving him with no way to retaliate. Therefore, the only target left for him was Luoyang, who seemed easier to deal with.

"Don't forget, the cause was on your side. What right do you have to be so persistent?" Liu Qin sneered. She and Luoyang were both extremely protective of their friends, always standing together regardless of right or wrong.

As the scene briefly stagnated, Luoyang chuckled and said, "I have an idea."

"Speak your terms." Feng Shuo's voice was low.

Luoyang ignored Da Qiang's angry gaze and continued with a smile, "Since this is a basketball court, let's settle this with a basketball game. If we lose, I'll stand still and let you beat me up. If I win, each of you... will apologize to Yi Yi."

A basketball game to decide the outcome?

The onlookers didn't expect Luoyang to make this suggestion, but Feng Shuo's eyes lit up, "You said it, no cheating, everyone here heard it!"

"I said it, so it stands. Free basketball, 2v2, the first to score three points wins."

Unlike in his previous life, the basketball rules in this world were simpler, especially for free basketball, which had a specific 2v2 mode.

"You're just one man, how can you play 2v2? Are you going to find a girl to team up with?"

"Or we can lend you a good player..." the onlookers suggested, clearly not wanting to see Luoyang at a disadvantage.

"I have a teammate." Luoyang smiled.

"Who is it?" The crowd looked at Luoyang curiously. All his companions were women; surely he wasn't going to find a woman to team up with?

"Right here." A clear female voice rang out. The crowd was stunned to find that Liu Qin had a basketball in her arms and had firmly stood beside Luoyang.

After a moment of silence, the crowd burst into laughter.

Even Feng Shuo and Da Qiang wore extremely contemptuous smiles as they looked at Luoyang and Liu Qin.

"A woman, or rather, a girl..." "She's a soft girl, she should just be pretty and charming."

"Beautiful lady, don't joke around. This is a basketball game, a man's sport..."

"Watching us play might be easy, but shooting and dribbling are actually very difficult..." The crowd laughed and tried to dissuade her.

This girl was too cute, actually trying to be strong at this moment. Playing basketball isn't like embroidery.

But Luoyang and Liu Qin stood together, shoulder to shoulder, ignoring the surrounding voices, and said calmly, "Let's start."

The crowd stared at Liu Qin in shock again. Was this really not a joke? How could this girl be so delusional, and why was this guy following her madness?

Do they really think that a man and a woman can defeat strong opponents like Feng Shuo and Da Qiang?

"Since you're asking for it, we won't be accused of bullying a woman!" A cold smile flashed in Feng Shuo's eyes as he gave Da Qiang a nod.

Da Qiang understood and stared at Luoyang, whispering, "I'm going to crush you!"

...

The game began.

A spectator was responsible for the tip-off, and the basketball was thrown into the air. Luoyang and Feng Shuo both tried to grab it.

One was 1.8 meters tall, the other 1.9 meters, a significant difference. As expected, Feng Shuo, with his height advantage, easily grabbed the ball.

Feng Shuo started dribbling. They were playing half-court, and the game was to see which side scored three points first.

Da Qiang supported Feng Shuo, clearly indicating that they often played together and had good coordination.

Feng Shuo tried to dribble to the basket, but Luoyang's tight defense prevented him from getting through. This was when he realized why Luoyang dared to initiate the game.

Luoyang indeed had very high skills, and even with his height advantage, Feng Shuo couldn't suppress him, feeling immense pressure.

Feng Shuo suddenly passed the ball to Da Qiang, looking at Luoyang with disdain.

No matter how skilled you are, it's useless!

Your teammate is a woman!

She will only hold you back!

The difference in our teammates is the key to victory!

We...

What's going on?

Feng Shuo suddenly froze.

The perfect pass he made was directly intercepted by a slender white figure!

Just as Da Qiang was about to touch the basketball, Liu Qin's long, white hand had already reached it, making a beautiful interception. She turned and quickly attacked, leaping lightly, and the basketball smoothly left her hand.

A beautiful arc in the air—swish, it went through the net!

"Damn!" Everyone's eyes widened.

"Her dribbling is very smooth, and her final jump shot is perfect..."

"Is this girl really a woman?! She's so hidden!" The male onlookers were shocked.

A smile flashed in Luoyang's eyes. Liu Qin was indeed a woman, but no one could have guessed that in his previous life, Liu Qin was the captain of the university basketball team, known for her skillful play.

And their years of默契 (默契 means默契, which can be translated as 'chemistry' or 'understanding') meant that a single glance was enough to understand each other, far surpassing the clumsy combination of Feng Shuo and Da Qiang...

They were actually leading, and the girls, including Su Yiyi, were full of disbelief!

"I love you, Sister Qin!" Sun Qian shouted excitedly.

"I love you too!" Su Yiyi also called out, emotionally charged.

"I love you too, Luoyang!" Sun Qian continued.

"We all love you two!" Guan Jing, the most ladylike of them, also cheered.

"Useless!" Feng Shuo glared at Da Qiang.

Da Qiang hadn't expected Liu Qin to react so quickly and had been a bit overconfident.

"They won't have a chance next." Da Qiang said with a guarantee.

"Better be." Feng Shuo clenched his fists.

The game restarted.

Feng Shuo grabbed the ball again, and Luoyang's height meant he couldn't compete.

But Luoyang didn't panic, still tightly defending Feng Shuo, not giving the big guy enough space.

Feng Shuo protected the ball and slowly moved towards Da Qiang.

Da Qiang also carefully watched Liu Qin, no longer treating her as an ordinary woman. Her dribbling and shooting skills were even better than his!

This made him feel like his worldview was collapsing. When did women become so good at basketball?

The four players moved closer, and Feng Shuo suddenly passed the ball to Da Qiang, then quickly ran to the basket. Da Qiang didn't mess up this time and quickly passed the ball to Feng Shuo.

"I'm invincible under the basket!" Feng Shuo prepared to fully utilize his height advantage, staring intently at the incoming basketball.

Slap!

A white, slender, yet radiant figure appeared again, and slender fingers hit the basketball.

The basketball veered off course, and Liu Qin, due to the momentum, fell to the ground.

Despite the setback, Feng Shuo managed to regain the ball and lifted it...

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ball in Feng Shuo's hands.

"Is he going to score a point?"

"There's no way, the height difference is too significant..."

"Wait..." The onlookers suddenly saw a lightning-fast figure rushing towards Feng Shuo.

"It's Luoyang!" Su Yiyi screamed excitedly.

Feng Shuo, at 1.8 meters tall, was about to jump, but at that moment, Luoyang's sudden appearance made his eyelids flutter.

Slap! With a powerful slap, Luoyang successfully knocked the basketball out of Feng Shuo's hands.

Da Qiang also rushed in to try to grab the rebound, but Luoyang was prepared. He used his back to block Da Qiang and, upon landing, grabbed the basketball, leaped again, and with a beautiful hook shot, the ball swished through the net!

Two points in a row.

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap. The entire court erupted in applause.

"He managed to grab the ball despite the height difference!"

"Mainly because the girl delayed Feng Shuo a bit, otherwise, they wouldn't have turned the tide..."

"To be honest, this girl's skills... are absolutely the strongest woman I've ever seen! And don't you think, girls playing basketball is really cool!"

This one play, the coordination between Luoyang and Liu Qin, was simply dazzling and incredibly impressive!

Da Qiang and Feng Shuo, amidst the applause of the onlookers, had extremely grim faces.

"We can't lose another ball... Da Qiang, even if it means fouling, we can't let them get the ball again!" Feng Shuo hissed in Da Qiang's ear.

If they were defeated by a man and a woman, they would have to humiliate themselves by apologizing! Just thinking about it, Feng Shuo couldn't accept the outcome.

Da Qiang also became determined, nodding fiercely, and the game restarted.

The basketball fell straight down, and Feng Shuo and Luoyang both leaped high...

"Damn!"

"So high!"

The crowd was amazed!

Feng Shuo sneered inwardly; he was 1.9 meters tall, of course, he could jump high.

Huh?

Feng Shuo suddenly realized something was off... these people seemed to be talking about someone else!

A black shadow appeared in Feng Shuo's line of sight, and their eyes met in mid-air. Feng Shuo could even see the mockery in Luoyang's eyes.

It was Luoyang, how could he jump so high!

"You've been hiding your jumping ability all along!" Feng Shuo's eyelids fluttered, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

"Too late to realize it now."

"It's not too late, even so, you have no chance!" Feng Shuo's eyes became resolute again.

"I'm not trying to grab the ball!" Luoyang suddenly roared, and at the moment Feng Shuo touched the ball, he slapped it hard.

Slap! The basketball flew straight towards—Liu Qin!

"Da Qiang, stop her!" Feng Shuo finally understood Luoyang's intention, his pupils contracting as he shouted.

Da Qiang reacted the fastest this time, rushing towards Liu Qin, willing to foul if necessary!

Liu Qin reached out, grabbed the basketball, and then took two steps, leaping...

Stop her!

Stop her!

Foul to stop her!

Da Qiang, without hesitation, lunged to grab Liu Qin, who was mid-air.

But unfortunately, Liu Qin's jump was so high that the entire court fell silent. Da Qiang didn't even touch the hem of her clothes and fell to the ground in a ridiculous manner.

Swish!

The basketball cleanly swished through the net. Liu Qin's shoulders trembled, her breathing slightly rapid, but her beautiful face under her long hair showed a captivating smile.

Three to zero!

The coordination between Luoyang and Liu Qin completely overwhelmed their opponents!

And Liu Qin's performance left all the male onlookers feeling ashamed!
