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

Shen Xinghe is tall with long legs and a good jumping ability. His fingers are long enough to easily control the ball. As long as he has a basketball foundation, he won't be too weak. Treating him as just a pretty face is Zhang Yang and his team's biggest miscalculation.

Even if he gives up three-pointers, his defensive ability is still quite good.

He blocked Zhang Yang's shot.

Chen Mo had already shaken off the burly man who had come to set the screen with his agile skills, and quickly got the ball under the basket. Without hesitation, he passed it directly to Shen Xinghe, who had already run to the open corner.

When Chen Mo was in the police force, he would play basketball with his teammates in his spare time. However, he did not deliberately practice his shooting ability. So he usually scored by going to the basket after grabbing the ball. But he was very skilled, so he developed strong stealing, defense and dribbling abilities. So even though his shooting ability was not strong, he was very good at scoring.

However, now that he knows Shen Xinghe has excellent shooting ability, he won't steal the spotlight. Besides, his own layups are easily blocked, so it's safer to let Shen Xinghe shoot from a distance.

Chen Mo passed the ball with appropriate force, and Shen Xinghe easily received it. With almost no adjustment, he gracefully jumped and shot again.

Even if the burly man saw it and rushed over to stop him, it was already too late.

"Shh!"

The basketball swished through the net again!

12: 0!

Lore!

competition is over!

"Yay! We won!" Zhou Yue and Lin Xiaoxiao hugged each other excitedly.

Su Yuqing and Zhao Ya were relatively quieter, only breathing a sigh of relief, their faces full of satisfaction.

Shen Xinghe slowly lowered his arm, his expression returning to its usual calm, as if he hadn't been the three-point killer just now.

He looked at Zhang Yang and the others, whose faces were ashen and who were speechless, and asked calmly, "Now, can you leave quietly?"

Zhang Yang and the others' faces flushed red and then turned pale, while the boy who had provoked them kept his head down, not daring to look at anyone.

They've kicked a hornet's nest, and it's a thick steel plate at that.

"You...awesome!" Zhang Yang finally managed to utter two words after holding back for a long time, which was considered an admission of defeat.

He was quite polite; he nodded to Chen Mo and Shen Xinghe, then said "Excuse me" to the girls, before pulling his ashamed teammates along and leaving quickly without looking back, his back view even appearing somewhat hurried.

"My God! Xinghe! Chen Mo! You guys are too strong!" With the crisis averted, Lin Xiaoxiao instantly recovered and rushed over excitedly, shouting, "How did you practice your three-point shot? It's so accurate. I used to watch the people on our school's basketball team struggle to make three-pointers."

Many people think that basketball is a boy's sport and that girls don't like to watch it, but actually quite a few girls do enjoy watching it. For example, Lin Xiaoxiao loved watching boys play basketball during her high school years.

"I was forced into the basketball team by the teacher because my physique met the requirements. However, in order to reduce the contact with others, I tried my best to practice three-pointers, which are scoring positions that can score from the outside and are not easy to get into close contact with others. After focusing on this one for a long time, I became proficient." Shen Xinghe replied with a faint smile.

It sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult.

Every serious basketball player needs to do a massive amount of training.

Even professional three-point shooters, after extensive training, would find it difficult to match Shen Xinghe's ability to easily make four consecutive three-pointers in a match.

Of course, the fact that his opponents were not of the same level played a part, but the bigger reason was that Shen Xinghe had enough talent. Talent plus hard work created his extraordinary skills!
Take Chen Mo for example. Chen Mo is also talented, but he didn't practice shooting. So even though he has talent, his shooting is still terrible. However, when he focuses on training for physical contact, he is very good at playing against others.

Zhou Yue's eyes lit up as she laughed, "You guys were so cool just now! You beat those guys so badly they turned green! Hehe!"

Chen Mo smiled, walked over to Shen Xinghe, and patted him on the shoulder again: "Good shot."

As they were talking, Su Yuqing handed Chen Mo some water.

Zhao Ya hesitated for a moment before picking up Shen Xinghe's water and handing it to him.

"Thank you." Shen Xinghe took the water Zhao Ya handed him, took an elegant sip, then slightly raised his chin, revealing a faint yet stunningly smug smile as he looked at Chen Mo. "Standard procedure."

The contrasting charm he exuded in that instant was a stark contrast to his usual aloof elegance, dazzlingly captivating Zhao Ya, who was standing to the side, and she was momentarily stunned.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Zhou Yue witnessed the whole scene, and immediately exchanged a knowing smile.

The incident on the basketball court was like a pebble thrown into a lake; once the ripples subsided, the lake returned to calm.

The scorching sun was still there, but the shade of the trees offered some relief from the heat.

"Finally, some peace and quiet." Lin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, fanning herself with her hand. "Where do we go next? This sun is so dedicated."

Zhou Yue immediately took out her phone and once again took on the role of navigator: "Let me see my treasure guide... Hmm, not far from the stadium, through this tree-lined path, is the No. 1 teaching building complex. The buildings there are very well-designed, and I heard there is a rather famous sunken plaza where many couples like to meet for secret rendezvous."

This proposal sounds much more appealing than being exposed to the sun.

The group walked along a wide, tree-lined path with neat camphor trees.

The road surface is a newly paved asphalt road, with carefully trimmed green belts on both sides. Occasionally, you can see modern sculptures or signs, which exude the orderliness and vitality of the new campus.

Sure enough, after walking a short distance, a cluster of buildings with a distinct style came into view.

The No. 1 teaching building makes extensive use of glass, metal and concrete, and its design is more modern and geometric, reflecting a dazzling luster in the sunlight.

"Teaching Building No. 1 is pretty good, it looks quite cool!" Lin Xiaoxiao exclaimed.

"It's really unique," Shen Xinghe commented, his gaze falling on a building with a huge, sloping glass curtain wall not far away, as if admiring the light and shadow effects of its architectural design.

As Zhou Yue said, there is a spacious sunken plaza in the center of this building complex.

Several wide steps lead to the bottom, where a simple wooden bench and parasols are placed in the center of the square, along with some well-arranged green plants.

Although the sun was intense, a natural shady area formed at the bottom of the square, where quite a few students sat. Some were talking quietly, some were reading alone, and others were simply resting with headphones on.

"Great place! Let's go down and sit for a while!" Zhou Yue suggested first.

As everyone walked down the steps, they immediately felt a refreshing coolness.

They found an empty bench and the steps next to it and sat down, temporarily escaping the heat. (End of Chapter)
