"Are you a student in Class 1?" Ling Ziqian asked curiously.

"No, I'm a student in Class 2." The handsome boy laughed heartily. "Class 1 and Class 2 are one family. By the way, my name is Xu Jiachen!"

Chapter 19: Winning One Person's Heart!

Upon hearing the name Xu Jiachen, Ling Ziqian suddenly realized who it was.

No wonder he was so enthusiastic, using the excuse of helping me integrate into the class to come and invite me to play basketball.

Yang Wenxing mentioned the name Xu Jiachen this morning.

Xu Jiachen likes Su Mingxi, and in order to pursue her, he drove away many rivals.

I guess he saw Su Mingxi helping him in the morning, so he got jealous and wanted to give me a hard time.

Huan Yue cheered Ling Ziqian on, "When a love rival attacks, flip the car over!"

Ling Ziqian smiled helplessly to himself, "Easier said than done."

"Don't be discouraged! You now have a little bit of flirtation value!"

"What can you do with 1 point of ambiguity? Playing basketball isn't fighting, is it?"

Huan Yue was speechless. Faced with such provocation, 1 point of ambiguity value was indeed like a useless piece of cake.

After a moment of silence, she said resentfully, "I told you before to exercise, but you didn't listen. Now you regret it, don't you?"

Ling Ziqian's face darkened. "Yes, I regret it."

Xu Jiachen pulled Ling Ziqian toward the basketball court.

Ling Ziqian kept saying that he couldn't play basketball.

But Xu Jiachen was surrounded by people, laughing and talking, pushing Ling Ziqian forward.

What would happen if Ling Ziqian struggled violently and refused to play basketball with them at this moment?

I might be looked down upon by the students from both classes. It's not a big deal if I can't play basketball, but it's a bit cowardly if I don't even dare to step onto the court.

Xu Jiachen is handsome and you can tell at a glance that he is a prominent figure.

He shouted that he wanted to play ball, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Many girls ran over laughing and wanting to see Xu Jiachen's handsome appearance while playing basketball.

On the badminton court, Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi stood together, facing off against two girls on the other side of the net.

A shout came from afar, saying that Xu Jiachen wanted to play a basketball game with someone. Immediately, the two girls on the other side of the net said they were embarrassed, put down their rackets, and walked onto the basketball court.

Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi exchanged a glance, utterly speechless.

"A bunch of fangirls," Dou Xiaorong complained.

"Never mind them, it's better if the two of us fight together." Su Mingxi smiled and walked towards the other side.

Just then, a girl passing by them called out to them, "Aren't you going to go see? I heard it's a fight with that new transfer student!"

After saying that, the girl ran off to the basketball court in a flash.

Su Mingxi and Dou Xiaorong looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Does Ling Ziqian like playing basketball?" Su Mingxi asked with great curiosity.

"He doesn't like sports; he's just a homebody," Dou Xiaorong replied.

Instantly, frost gathered on Su Mingxi's cheeks.

Dou Xiaorong's complexion was also not good.

They knew what had happened; after all, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened!

The two lost interest in playing badminton and headed towards the basketball court.

Before even reaching the basketball court, I could hear all sorts of sounds.

"Jiachen, keep it up!"

"Xu Jiachen is so handsome!"

"Who's that? Standing on the court like a block of wood?"

"Is that the transfer student? He's such a coward. He's been on the field for so long, but he hasn't even touched the ball once."

"What are you doing on the court if you can't play? Are you just making a fool of yourself?"

The sounds of ridicule and mockery around them were extremely grating to Su Mingxi and Dou Xiaorong.

Seeing Ling Ziqian standing on the court, looking like a silly goose, Dou Xiaorong immediately lowered her head.

She held Su Mingxi's hand tightly. "Mingxi, I can't bear to watch. That idiot clearly can't play ball. Why doesn't he refuse?"

"If he had met Xu Jiachen, do you think he could have refused?" Su Mingxi's voice was cold, but also apologetic. "It's my fault that he was humiliated like this."

Dou Xiaorong shook her head. She didn't blame Su Mingxi. If it weren't for Su Mingxi, Ling Ziqian might have gotten into a fight with Yang Wenxing that morning.

Is there any way to end the game?

"No, if we try to stop the game, it will only make things more awkward."

The two stood by the court, powerless to stop him, and could only pray that Ling Ziqian would rise up.

Dou Xiaorong couldn't bear to look; she was so upset she was about to cry.

Ling Ziqian stood on the court. The three-on-one match had been going on for several minutes. Xu Jiachen scored several goals with great skill, while he hadn't even touched the ball.

Feeling as if everyone around him was looking at him with disdain, Ling Ziqian was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole.

He has been somewhat introverted since childhood. He won't actively seek out others to play unless someone invites him to.

When he was in elementary school, he was used to being alone, and he met a chubby girl who was disliked by others.

"Oh!"

Xu Jiachen made another beautiful three-step layup, drawing cheers from the entire arena.

He was wearing a blue striped T-shirt with the sleeves pulled up to his shoulders, revealing the muscles in his arms.

With his sweatpants rolled up to his calves and paired with a pair of bright red designer basketball shoes, Xu Jiachen looked absolutely stunning.

"Get moving! If you can't get the rebound, you can at least stop people, right?"

"Just stop that person!"

The two men on the same team yelled at Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian had a dark expression on his face, as if he were the one who was going to participate in the game.

He really wanted to leave the game, but if he did that, it would be hard for him to get along in Class 1 in the future!

There was no other way but to start running!

We've ignored Ling Ziqian long enough; it's time to try a different approach.

Xu Jiachen winked at Ling Ziqian's two teammates.

The two men immediately smiled knowingly.

One of them served the ball, passing it to Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian got the ball, but then a headache struck him. Unable to dribble, he had no choice but to pass.

I passed the ball to one of my teammates, and that guy dodged it!

The ball is out of bounds.

Immediately, various sounds arose.

"How did you pass the ball?"

"This is outrageous!"

Xu Jiachen smiled and waved to the surroundings, "No one is born knowing how to play ball. Give me a chance, take it slow!"

No one was complaining about Ling Ziqian anymore, because everyone was saying things like how great Xu Jiachen was.

Xu Jiachen cast an encouraging look at Ling Ziqian, but Ling Ziqian turned his head away.

"This is outrageous!" Huan Yue's voice rang out.

"What can I do?" Ling Ziqian said with some frustration. "It's just that I'm too incompetent."

"Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. You don't need to feel inferior. It's despicable of him to compare his strengths with your weaknesses!"

Ling Ziqian was talking to Huan Yue in his mind.

At that moment, another ball was passed to him.

Ling Ziqian caught the ball and didn't pass it again. Although no one was stopping him, he didn't know how to do a three-step layup or anything like that. Even so, he still wanted to shoot!

Hold the ball with both hands and jump!

It felt pretty good to shoot the ball into the basket.

The ball grazed the backboard and went in!

Before Ling Ziqian could even feel happy, everyone around him was shouting that he had stepped in dog poop, which was why he had such good luck.

Ling Ziqian's face darkened. He wanted to ignore the sounds around him, but it was difficult.

Xu Jiachen's team inbounded the ball, and they launched a fast break. Xu Jiachen then made another beautiful layup!

Hmph, what a load of bull! They're all the same bunch!

Just as he finished complaining, another ball was passed to Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian caught the ball and was just about to shoot when Xu Jiachen rushed over!

Xu Jiachen stood in front of Ling Ziqian, slightly bent over, and spread his arms to prevent Ling Ziqian from passing the ball or shooting.

His lips curled slightly upward, and he smiled very handsomely and smugly.

Ling Ziqian was very annoyed. "Hey basketball prince, is it fun to beat someone like me who doesn't know how to play basketball?"

Xu Jiachen smiled brightly, "What are you talking about? I'm helping you integrate into the class!"

"Hehe, you've really been a great help."
