Chapter 57 - A Complete Mess (1) - Whimsical Reads

 

()x5-6 minutes

There was a quick switch up from Class 6’s side and the game continued.

This time, the class’s game plan was different. The team no longer forcibly broke through the internal defense line. They used Xia Zhijun as their core to shoot outside the line.

With this plan, Xia Zhijun scored several consecutive three-pointers, it was already a success.

The shouts of the girls from Class 6 were loud, and although the girls from Class 8 didn’t make a sound, they were cheering for Xia Zhijun in their hearts.

Gu Siyi put her hands on her lips and shouted, “Xia Zhijun, come on—”

The girls in the class cheered with her, “Xia Zhijun, come on—”

When Xia Zhijun dribbled the ball, he turned his head and glanced at her. The eyes of the two met, and he slightly raised the corners of his lips.

“My God, I see Xia Zhijun smiling!”

“Ah, ah, Xia Zhijun’s smile is so good!”

“I want to take a picture and lick the screen…”

Gu Siyi covered her mouth to hide the uncontrollable smile from creeping through. After a while, she continued to cheer. “Xia Zhijun, come on! Xia Zhijun, come on!”

The more she shouted, the more irritated Lu Ming became, he rolled his eyes over again and again.

Xia Zhijun once again stood outside the three-point line with the ball in hand. When he got into his shooting position, Lu Ming appeared in front of him and jumped up to intercept the basketball.

The audible gasp of the audience echoed throughout the court.

In the final second, before the ball left his hands, Xia Zhijun jumped backward and shot the ball perfectly over Lu Ming’s fingers.

When the basketball flew out, the audience roared as they followed its path, only Gu Siyi kept her eyes on Xia Zhijun worriedly.

The reclining jumper was very difficult to pull off, you could use it to avoid a block from your opponent but it was necessary to maintain body balance before you landed or you could end up falling and twisting your ankle.

To Gu Siyi’s relief, Xia Zhijun landed on both feet and shook off his nervousness. With her worry gone, Gu Siyi continued to cheer for him.

Playing basketball for many years, she had always claimed to be a three-point shooter, but she did not expect to see Xia Zhijun standing in the same position as her today, playing the same role, and shooting perfect shots.

Gu Siyi clutched her chest, silencing her pounding heart, her eyes lit up, and she sighed like a fan girl, “How can he be so good…”

As the shot went through the hoop the coach blew his whistle to mark the end of the match. Class 6 won by an overwhelming advantage thanks to their new plan.

For the first time during the match, Gu Siyi ran to Xia Zhijun holding a cold bottle of water and handed it to him.

Xia Zhijun smiled and gratefully took the bottle of water.

Lan Xiaoqiu was standing not far away holding a bottle of water herself. She planned to try passing him the bottle this time but there was no chance.

There was a cloud over the eighth class, and Lu Ming’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

To him, there was nothing worse than losing especially with all the affection from the other class reminded him of it.

An evil fire in his heart went up, he grabbed the ball abruptly and threw it straight at the back of Xia Zhijun’s head.

Standing next to Xia Zhijun, Gu Siyi caught a glimpse of the ball and subconsciously pushed Xia Zhijun out of the way just to get hit by it right in the nose.

Gu Siyi shook the place with a violent sorrow, there was a dampness in her nose.

Xia Zhijun held Gu Siyi and was shocked to find blood trickling down her nose. He quickly took a tissue from his pocket and pressed it against the bridge of her nose.

“Is it painful?” He asked softly, his voice extremely restrained, enduring unspeakable distress and huge anger.

Gu Siyi shook her head and wiped her nose with the tissue.

 

After the accident, several boys glared at the aggressor.

When Lu Ming hit Gu Siyi, there was a trace of panic and reluctance in his eyes, but when facing the eyes of these people, he turned calm, shrugging, he spread his hands, “Sorry, hands slipped for a moment.”

Xia Zhijun pressed Gu Siyi’s shoulder and said, “Go aside.”

After speaking, Xia Zhijun walked toward Lu Ming, and Lu Jiaye and the others followed him. The eyes of the boys were cold and fierce, and everyone could tell that something was about to happen.

The teacher butted in before any of the boys had a chance to attack. “Don’t be impulsive, this is something that happened accidentally. I asked Lu Ming to come over and apologize to you. If you have something to say, please do.”

Xia Zhijun’s face was stern, “Teacher Zhang, get out of the way.”

“Xia Zhijun, don’t rush-” The coach was pushed away before he could continue.

The sudden force was so fierce that the PE teacher almost stumbled to the ground. He was no pushover too, he had years of experience in physical education. As Xia Zhijun was out of his reach, the coach knew that chaos was about to ensue.
