Chapter 603 - 603 Center of Attention

603 Center of Attention

You still want to continue shopping?

Dont you want to shop anymore? Do you want to go home?

Im not in a hurry to go back, but I feel that theres no point in staying here. Why dont we take a walk outside the school?

Theres a snack street outside the school. Didnt we shop there yesterday?

Weve already seen enough of that. Look outside the school gate. There is Seven Days hotel on the opposite side. 100 meters to the left is Like Home. 50 meters to the right is Greenhotel. 80 meters to the right is Han Court. These are all famous historical sites near the university city. If we dont visit them now, wont we be wasting this golden opportunity?

You just cant tamper your l.u.s.t, can you? You keep wanting to drag me to that kind of place. Ji Qingyan walked forward without looking back. Anyway, Im not going. I think its pretty nice to be on campus.

Lin Yi had no choice but to follow Ji Qingyan around the campus.

However, at this moment, a cry of surprise broke the silence.

Boss?

Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan turned around and saw five or six people standing behind them.

A few of them were repeat customers of the shop.

Zhao Yuetong, Tong Fei, and Li Chang.

However, there were a few boys following behind them. Lin Yi had some impression of them.

One of them was Tong Feis boyfriend, Liu Jiyuan.

The others were Feng s.h.i.+yu and the others who had gone to look for Zhao Yuetong yesterday.

This was how university life was like. When you didnt take down a girl, you would usually move out as a dormitory unit.

Seeing Lin Yi, the girls walked over.

Boss, is this lady your girlfriend?

Yes, the shop is closed, so I came here to look around, Lin Yi smiled and replied.

h.e.l.lo, Miss.

The girls had seen Ji Qingyan before and had long guessed their ident.i.ties.

They were a perfect match.

h.e.l.lo. Ji Qingyan greeted them with a smile.

Boss, you guys havent been to our school before, right? Do you want to come inside? Zhao Yuetong invited.

Little Tong, why did you invite them? Lets continue shopping, Feng s.h.i.+yu said.

Its my business. If you dont like it, you can go somewhere else.

Feng s.h.i.+yu fell silent after being rebuked.

His resentment towards Lin Yi deepened.

If it werent for him, he and Little Tong would have already gotten together.

Then then lets go together.

Ji Qingyan did not want to go with anyone else. It would disturb her and Lin Yis private time.

However, since the other party had already taken the initiative to suggest this, it wouldnt be good to reject them so directly. Thus, they could only walk around together.

Li Chang chuckled. Boss, youve been popular on our schools forum over the past few days. More and more people know about you now. Business should be good today, right?

Its indeed a little better. Thank you.

Dont worry about it, it was my pleasure. Its mainly because your familys food is too delicious. Although its a little expensive, its not bad to eat it once in a while.

Please come again next time. Ji Qingyan smiled, grateful for their support.

She strolled all the way to the basketball court and saw many boys sweating profusely.

If I remember correctly, you should know how to play basketball, right?

What do you mean should? Ive already mastered such childish things.

Boss knows how to play basketball? Li Chang was surprised.

Who doesnt know such a simple thing?

Boss, youre too amazing. Not only are you good-looking, but you also know how to cook and play basketball. Can you be any more perfect?

Be careful, your sister is here.

Hehe The three girls laughed. But hes indeed very good. I like boys who play basketball the most.

Isnt that great? Basketball is my forte, Feng s.h.i.+yu said.

I like boys who play basketball like the boss, no one else.

Feng s.h.i.+yu was speechless. He was obviously bragging in front of his girlfriend. How could she believe that?

Lin Yi, lets go to the basketball court. Ji Qingyan held Lin Yis hand and said with a smile.

I like boys who play basketball, too.

Really? Why havent I heard you mention it before?

Im afraid you wouldnt know how to play and itd hurt your pride.

Then lets go and take a look.

Ji Qingyan and Zhao Yuetongs appearance made everyone on the court stop what they were doing.

Although basketball was fun, it was not as attractive as beautiful women.

Not to mention such a beautiful girl.

Brother Feng is here to torture noobs again.

Seeing Feng s.h.i.+yu and the others arrive, the people from the basketball court took the initiative to greet them.

In Zhonghai Inst.i.tute of Technology, Feng s.h.i.+yu, a member of the school team, could be considered an influential figure. Almost everyone knew who he was.

Once he arrived on the basketball court, he would almost always torture the noobs, so he did not come here often. He felt that this was boring and so often went to other schools to find stronger opponents to play with.

Theres someone here who says he knows how to play basketball and came to play a bit.

Everyones gaze landed on Lin Yi.

This was because this person was a little unfamiliar. They had never seen him before.

Perfect. Lets play together. As he spoke, the boy handed over the basketball.

Forget it. Im just here for a walk. I dont have that much time.

Hey, dont stress. Were all Brother Fengs friends. Dont stand on ceremony.

Lin Yi took the basketball with a smile and handed it to Ji Qingyan. Do you want to try?

I really cant play well. Sports isnt my strong suit.

Just give it a try. We have nothing to do anyway.

Hehe, Ill try.

Ji Qingyan held the basketball in her hand and walked over to shoot the ball. Then, she used all her strength to push the ball. The ball barely flew over her head, and that was it

Thats it?

Err thats all Im capable of she replied sheepishly.

Arent you usually quite strong when you pinch me?

Thats different. The way you exert force is different, Ji Qingyan whispered. If theres a compet.i.tion that focuses on pinching people, then I might rank first.

Okay, lets change the subject.

Ji Qingyan grinned as she tugged at Lin Yis arm. Come on, try a three-pointer. Dont embarra.s.s yourself.

Its a piece of cake. I can close my eyes and score it.

Feng s.h.i.+yu and the others secretly despised him.

What was he bragging about?

That was a basket, not a goal. Do you think you can just throw it in so easily?

Swoos.h.!.+

A three-pointer was easily scored.

Not bad. She gave him a thumbs up.

However, Feng s.h.i.+jie and the others were a little surprised. Did his bluff pay off?

One more, one more, Ji Qingyan said eagerly.

She enjoyed the feeling of Lin Yi being the center of attention. She felt proud.

Its just a three-pointer. Dont you find it boring?

Whats there to tire of? Its already very impressive to be able to score from this range, Ji Qingyan said contentedly.

Lin Yis shooting posture was perfect, and his athletic ability was also very good.

When she had a child in the future, he could make up for her unathletic genes.

Huh?

Why did she think of such a shameful thing?

This time, Lin Yi stood further away, Ill score another one for you.

Yes, yes. Best of luck.

Isnt it a little pretentious to stand so far away? Liu Jiyuan said, You might not even be able to touch the basket.

I also feel that he is acting tough, Feng s.h.i.+yu said.

Are you guys jealous? Tong Fei asked.

Its not jealousy. Its impossible, Feng s.h.i.+yu said.

Look at where hes standing. Hes almost in the middle of the court. Does he think hes a professional athlete? Amateurs dont have such strong arms. I dont think he can even touch the basket.

Thats right, this is not human, Liu Jiyuan said.

Feng s.h.i.+yu crossed his arms in front of his chest and gloated, If it can go in, Ill eat the basketball.

Swoos.h.!.+

The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and entered the net.

F*ck!

So accurate!

The basketball court was filled with exclamations.

He scored two consecutive shots with such perfect posture. It was obvious that he had practiced it before!

Brother Yu, this is a little awkward, Liu Jiyuan said.

Didnt the boss say that he eat basketball if this guy scored? Li Chang said.

Well Feng s.h.i.+yu looked embarra.s.sed. I was just blabbering. Besides, whats the big deal about knowing how to shoot? Ordinary people can improve their accuracy with a little practice. The most important thing is how you play basketball.

The boss is so accurate. You might not even be a match for him in an actual match. Dont slander him here, Zhao Yuetong said.

Although Lin Yi had a girlfriend, it didnt affect the mood of these fangirls.

Little Tong, its a little embarra.s.sing for you to say that. Im not the best, but I am one of the ranked basketball players in Zhonghai. Wont it be a breeze for me to beat him?

Thats not necessarily true. Dont brag.

Little Tong, how about this? Ill fight him one-on-one later. If I win, youll have to give me another chance, okay?

And if you lose?

I wont lose.

Dont be so confident, Zhao Yuetong said. If you lose, you cant pester me anymore.

Haha, no problem. Dont go back on your word.

Dont worry, I wont regret it even if I die.

Little Tong, do you really like Feng s.h.i.+yu? Li Chang whispered.

I used to have a good impression of him, but after what happened yesterday, I feel that hes not a good person. He doesnt even know basic respect. A boy like him is unreliable.

If you dont like him, why did you give him a chance?

When did I give him a chance? Zhao Yuetong said.

Didnt you say that if he beats the boss in a one-on-one battle, youd give him a chance? Doesnt that mean that youve tacitly agreed?

But the boss is very accurate. His skills are definitely not bad.

Youre really stupid. Even someone like me who fails every year knows that an actual match and a shooting compet.i.tion are two different things. Why dont you know this?

Is the difference between the two that great?

Of course. Li Chang said.

The boss might know how to play basketball, but Feng s.h.i.+yu is on the school team. Its not a fair comparison at all.

Hearing Li Changs words, Zhao Yuetong realized the seriousness of the problem and quietly pulled Tong Fei to the side.

Feifei, who do you think will win between the boss and Feng s.h.i.+yu?

Needless to say, itll be Feng s.h.i.+yu. Its obvious.

Tong Fei smiled ambiguously and nudged Zhao Yuetong with his elbow. Did you regret rejecting Feng s.h.i.+yu after seeing the bosss girlfriend? If you regret it, just say it. Its not a big deal. Theres no need to use such a method to cover it up.

Of course not, Zhao Yuetong said.

Only then did she realize that she had been a little naive earlier.

Feng s.h.i.+yu, I regret it. What I said just now didnt count.

Doesnt count? Feng s.h.i.+yu said.

You just said that you wont go back on your word even if you die. If you want to deny it, youre automatically saying that he lost. At that point, Ill feel no sense of accomplishment in beating him. Others will even say that Im bullying him.

Zhao Yuetong stopped talking. She felt like she had sold herself out.

Little Tong, I think you should take things as they come. Li Chang comforted her.

Perhaps G.o.d wants the two of you to be together. If you cant resist, just enjoy it silently.

But I dont want it to be like this, Zhao Yuetong said unhappily. If I had known this would happen, I definitely wouldnt have made a bet with him.

But now that things have come to this, its useless for you to regret it. Li Chang shrugged and said.

You can only hope the boss wins.

Then do you think the boss has a chance of winning?

If you sleep now, he might have a chance in your dreams.

Then its over, Zhao Yuetong said dejectedly.

Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan did not hear their conversation as they continued to cuddle.

Lin Yi, youre too good. I didnt know you were so good at basketball before this.

I was a basketball teacher at Normal University. Have you forgotten about this?

At that time, I thought that you were just being glib-tongued. I didnt know that you were so amazing. Hehe

Ji Qingyans expression was like that of a thief.

Look at the men around you. Theyre all looking at you enviously. One look and you can tell that theyre not as good as you.

Stop praising me. If you continue praising me, Ill feel like Im in heaven.

Youre amazing. Ji Qingyan nudged Lin Yi.

Go and do something even more difficult. Let them be envious for a while longer.

The ball I threw just now was already very difficult.

Is there no better way to shoot? Ji Qingyan asked. I want to see the envy in their eyes.

Then Ill show you a stunt that will shock the entire audience. I guarantee that youve never seen it in real life.

Sure, sure.

Wait here.

Dude!

Seeing Lin Yi walk away from the three-point line, Feng s.h.i.+yu stopped him.

Whats up?

Shooting is so boring. Why dont the two of us play for seven b.a.l.l.s?

I just want to shoot a few baskets and leave. If I play basketball, I will definitely sweat.

Your athletic ability cant be that bad, right? Its just seven b.a.l.l.s. You can finish the battle in a few minutes.

Alright, I havent played in a long time. Ill play a match with you later. Lin Yi said indifferently.

Later?

My girlfriend wants to see me perform. Well fight after Im done.

Alright, you can go ahead first. Feng s.h.i.+yu was not in a hurry.

Brother Yu, arent you going to take this opportunity to warm up? Liu Jiyuan said.

Why would I need to warm up to beat him? I probably wont even sweat after playing the seven b.a.l.l.s.

Youre right. The gap between the two of you is indeed sizeable.

Zhao Yuetong secretly sighed. She was already regretting her decision to death.

At the same time, everyones gaze landed on Lin Yi.

He took the basketball and retreated to the middle of the court. No one knew what he was going to do.

What is he trying to do? Is he going to throw blindly? Liu Jiyuan asked.

Maybe. This is a little technical, but theres a lot of luck involved. If you get it in, you can show off in front of your girlfriend. If you dont, you can say that you didnt perform well. In short, he only has one goal. Its to show off in front of his girlfriend.

However, at this moment, Lin Yi moved.

He rushed towards the basket with the ball.

F*ck, whats this? Its not a blind throw! Liu Jiyuan said in surprise.

Is he going to perform a layup? Feng s.h.i.+yu was dumbfounded.

A three-step layup didnt have as high a skillcap as a three-pointer. What kind of performance was this?!

Even if your girlfriend doesnt know basketball, there are so many basketball enthusiasts on the court.

He was really impressed.

This guy didnt even know how to act cool!

Wait, d.a.m.n, hes jumping from the free throw line. Hes not going for a layup, hes going for a dunk!
