“Mr. Lu, Ji Qingqing, you guys are here too?” Zhang Lala saw the two of them and went over to greet them.
“We just arrived.”
Zhang Lala looked at their couples outfits. She and the other guests were invited by the program crew so they more or less knew the inside story. Seeing the two of them like this, she knowingly smiled.
“Isn’t Mr. Lu going to join in and play?”
At that exact moment, Lu Yao threw a beautiful three-pointer once more.
“It went in! So cool!”
As a celebrity that had attracted countless fans that liked good looks, obviously nothing further needed to be said about Lu Yao’s looks. Just that he naturally didn’t like to laugh, had a cold expression, didn’t show excessive emotions, and film and television had always been his weakness.
For example, like now. Even though the ball went in, it’s like he didn’t throw it and it’s unrelated to him.
People who didn’t know the truth would even think he’s doing this to purposely play it cool.
“Lu Yao is so good at basketball!”
“I heard that in the past Lu Yao was part of the school’s team and all along he has been quite good at playing basketball.”
Everyone loves hearing praises but when those words reached Lu Lixing’s ears, why did they sound so irritating?
After they finished praising, Lu Yao directly gained the opponent’s rebound and coolly took possession of the ball.
Then he scored a three-pointer.
Lu Yao stood outside the three-point line. He rested his hands on his knees and panted as the others went to snatch the ball. During the snatching, there was a moment of carelessness and the basketball left their hands. With a parabolic path, it accurately flew straight towards Ji Qingqing’s direction.
“Hey! Quickly move aside!”
Before he could finish warning, right when the basketball was half a meters away from Ji Qingqing, Lu Lixing raised his hand and stopped it midair. He rolled his sleeves, switched from using his left hand to his right hand, and casually bounced the basketball.
“Let’s play?”
He directed those words to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao straightened up. He glanced at Lu Lixing and then looked over at Ji Qingqing. “Alright.”
Puzzled, Ji Qingqing asked, “Didn’t you say you don’t know how to play basketball?”
Lu Lixing answered nonchalantly, “I learned it just now.”
Ji Qingqing grabbed and stopped him. “Don’t brag, the cameras are still there!”
Lu Lixing gazed at her. “You’re worrying about me?”
“… That’s because I don’t want you to lose face in front of the nationwide audience!”
“Don’t worry. I won’t lose face.” Saying that, Lu Lixing dribbled the ball as he walked towards the basketball court.
There were a couple of other male students in the court and in tacit agreement they gave the court to Lu Lixing and Lu Yao.
Lu Yao had gotten used to seeing big scenes in the entertainment industry and had seen all kinds of people. He could sense Lu Lixing’s hostility towards him.
But, why?
Lu Yao looked at the side of the basketball court where Ji Qingqing was cheering elatedly, seemingly guessing something.
In the court, the two of them stared at each other. Their height difference wasn’t much and the expression on their faces taunted each other one after another. Lu Lixing very proficiently dribbled the ball, handling it with ease naturally as he coldly gazed at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao kept watch and attempted a couple of times to steal the ball from Lu Lixing but was unable to succeed.
Outside the court, Zhang Lala waged a bet with Ji Qingqing. “Say, between the two of them, who would be the first one to score?”
Lu Lixing said that he didn’t know how to play basketball while Lu Yao was part of the school’s team. There was totally no need to guess who would score first – the results were obvious.
However, Ji Qingqing understood Lu Lixing. He wouldn’t do something that he wasn’t confident in. Besides, although he said he didn’t know how to play basketball, at this critical juncture, Ji Qingqing also wouldn’t make Lu Lixing look bad and betray him to stand on the opposite side. “I choose Lu Lixing!”
“I’ll bet on Lu Yao. Whoever loses treats a meal.”
“Okay, no problem!”
After saying that, their voices fell. Lu Lixing had faced off with Lu Yao long enough. His eyes narrowed and when Lu Yao was unprepared, he did a shot fake to fool Lu Yao, then he suddenly swept back the ball and went past Lu Yao. Lu Yao raised his hand wanting to steal the ball but got fooled by Lu Lixing’s false move. In that exact moment when Lu Yao jumped, Lu Lixing did a perfect layup and the ball entered.
“It entered!” Ji Qingqing excitedly shouted to Lu Lixing, “Hubby, do your best!”
The hyped-up audience in the live-stream: “???”
“Mr. Lu, Ji Qingqing, you guys are here too?” Zhang Lala saw the two of them and went over to greet them.
