On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Shen Xinghe wasn't angry. Instead, he slightly raised his chin, his eyes completely replaced by sharpness, and his tone carried a condescending indifference: "If you're afraid of losing, just say so. Making so many excuses, it seems that's all you're capable of."

"Afraid? Bullshit!" Zhang Yang was both annoyed and amused by these words.

He glanced at Chen Mo, whose aura was cold and hard, and thought that this person might be a bit difficult to deal with, but Shen Xinghe? He couldn't take him seriously at all.

This kind of reverse psychology is especially effective on someone as overconfident as him.

"You just said what you'd do if you won, but what if we win?" The stronger boy asked Shen Xinghe.

Perhaps because he hadn't yet recovered from the shock of Shen Xinghe's gender transformation, his tone when speaking to Shen Xinghe was noticeably weaker, as if he were talking to a girl.

"You can't win," Shen Xinghe said confidently.

"Don't speak too definitively, beautiful lady." The person on the other end still habitually called Shen Xinghe "beautiful lady."

"Aren't you being too confident? Let's see how you perform. What do you want after you win? We'll talk about that after you win." Shen Xinghe's lips curled up slightly, and he looked at the people opposite him with a disdainful expression, which instantly ignited their fighting spirit.

"Alright, I appreciate your tone! Let's go then, who's up?"

"It's definitely the two of us." Shen Xinghe casually put his arm around Chen Mo's shoulder, and only then did everyone finally feel the masculine aura emanating from him.

This is a kind of brotherly bond between boys who stand shoulder to shoulder.

"Alright! Let's go then!" Zhang Yang sneered, and immediately went down onto the field with the strongest boy from before, beckoning to Chen Mo and Shen Xinghe with his finger.

"Chen Mo, how are your ball skills?" Shen Xinghe asked in a low voice.

"It's alright, passable," Chen Mo replied with a faint smile.

"Then you'll mainly be responsible for intercepting the ball and passing it to me; I'll handle the rest," Shen Xinghe said confidently, as if victory was assured.

He looked at Chen Mo, and their eyes met in a tacit understanding that needed no words.

Although Chen Mo was also surprised by Shen Xinghe's suggestion, he saw absolute confidence and a hint of...excitement in the other's eyes. He suppressed his doubts, nodded, tightened his muscular physique, and walked side by side with Shen Xinghe onto the court.

"How do we determine the winner?" Zhang Yang asked the two of them.

"Whichever side gets ten points first wins, how about it?" Shen Xinghe looked at the two people opposite him.

"Five balls? Interesting, okay."

Upon hearing the other party say five balls, Shen Xinghe suddenly gave a subtle, slight smile.

Soon, both of them looked at each other with sharp eyes: "Let's begin!"

An unexpected two-on-two match kicked off in the half of the stadium.

"You guys go first." Shen Xinghe casually tossed the ball to Zhang Yang, a move that only fueled the opponent's anger.

"You really look down on us, huh?" Zhang Yang finally snapped. No matter how good-looking you are, you're looking down on me like this. You'll get what's coming to you later.

The match begins with the opposing team attacking first.

Zhang Yang was furious and planned to give these two arrogant freshmen a hard time right from the start.

Zhang Yang dribbles the ball, facing Chen Mo's defense.

He wore a mocking smile, clearly not taking Chen Mo seriously.

"Junior, watch this carefully. College basketball is not like the child's play you had in high school." With that, he made a quick crossover, trying to overpower Chen Mo with his speed and strength.

However, just as the ball bounced off the ground after he changed direction, a shadowy hand made a precise cut!
"Snap!" A crisp, clean sound!
Chen Mo seemed to have anticipated all his moves, and in a flash, he snatched the ball away!
"Wow!!" "What a brilliant move!" A chorus of exclamations immediately erupted from the sidelines, and Zhou Yue and Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened instantly.

That steal was so fast and so sudden!
After stealing the ball, Chen Mo didn't hold onto it for long. He quickly passed it to Shen Xinghe, who had quietly broken away from the strong man who was too focused on the ball's movement and neglected to guard him, and moved away from the basket to the outside.

The moment the basketball came, the burly man realized that the person he was watching had somehow slipped to the outside.

While he was still in surprise, Shen Xinghe received the ball, stood up, and shot.

His movements were so fluid and graceful, as if they had been meticulously designed, carrying a unique beauty and rhythm, with a gentle press of his wrist.

The basketball immediately flew out in a perfect, high arc.

"Shh!"

Hollow into the network!

Three points!

The crowd fell silent, then erupted in cheers!
"Wow! Xinghe, you're so handsome!" Zhou Yue and Lin Xiaoxiao immediately screamed and shouted.

Not only Zhou Yue and the others, but even the other onlookers couldn't help but exclaim and applaud!

Zhang Yang's companions were all stunned, staring at Shen Xinghe in disbelief.

Zhang Yang and the burly young man looked at each other, their contemptuous smiles freezing on their faces, replaced by astonishment.

Is this... luck?

"Not bad luck!" the burly guy in the Rockets uniform said defiantly, but his eyes had completely changed.

Because they scored, the opposing team had the ball again and started to take it seriously, trying to score through teamwork and their inside advantage.

But Chen Mo's defense was like a ghost, his steals were fierce and accurate, and he could always precisely disrupt the opponent's passing routes and offensive rhythm.

Shen Xinghe, meanwhile, roamed outside the three-point line. Once he received the ball from Chen Mo, he would shoot without hesitation as long as there was even the slightest opening.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Two more three-pointers in a row!
9: 0!

Crush! Absolute crushing!

The confidence and frivolity that Zhang Yang and his companions had shown before were gone, replaced only by shock and embarrassment.

The original score of 10 points was not five balls at all!
The opponent's three-point shooting is insanely strong; they could finish the game with just four shots!

At the same time, they cannot commit fouls easily from now on. If they commit a foul and give the opponent even a single point in the free throw line, they may lose the game directly.

"Damn it, that cold beauty's three-point shot is ridiculously strong. Guarding him is useless. Since we have the ball, let's just work together to deal with this guy who can only steal the ball."

“Okay!” The burly man realized that Shen Xinghe, who had strong outside shooting ability, was not someone he could easily guard. He immediately accepted Zhang Yang’s suggestion.

The last ball, the game begins!
Zhang Yang's tactics did have some effect. He tried his best and finally managed to get half a body length away from Chen Mo by using a teammate's screen to rush into the paint and jump for a layup. But he never expected that Shen Xinghe, who came over to help defend, would leap high into the air...

His amazing height and jumping ability were on full display at this moment—although he didn't block the shot, the huge interference caused the ball to bounce off the rim.

Shen Xinghe possesses the tall, slender physique of a model, coupled with his long, slender fingers; in fact, his physical attributes would be more than adequate even in the basketball world. (End of Chapter)
