Chapter 1365: Chapter 1360: Basketball Challenge
"Sir, I’m sorry for the trouble..."
Walking along the campus path, Zhang Lianyi said apologetically.
"No problem."
Qin Hao casually threw his arm around Zhang Lianyi’s shoulder.
The girl was embarrassed and tried to break free, but after noticing Qin Hao’s intense gaze, she simply looked down, letting Qin Hao hold her.
"Haha, still shy, huh."
Qin Hao gave Zhang Lianyi’s shoulder a rub, "Look at you, all tense. Once you start working, make time for massages. It’s important to work hard as an actor, but you have to learn to relax too. Understand the balance between work and rest?"
"Got it."
Zhang Lianyi nodded earnestly, feeling warm inside.
The feeling of being cared for by the teacher was really nice.
"By the way, Ripples, won’t you take me to see your dormitory?"
Qin Hao suddenly revealed a mischievous grin.
A girls’ dormitory, he hadn’t seen one in so long.
This chance, how could he miss it?
"Huh?" Zhang Lianyi blushed instantly, "Sir, isn’t that inappropriate?"
"Why not? Unless you’re hiding some unspeakable secret in your dorm?"
Qin Hao teased with a smile.
"No, no secret, I’ll take you!"
To prove her innocence, Zhang Lianyi decisively decided to fall for his trick.
"Then let’s go!"
Qin Hao flashed a conspiratorial smile, and with his arm around Zhang Lianyi’s shoulder, he headed toward the girls’ dormitory building.
As they passed the basketball court, continuous shouts could be heard from there.
"Senior Wang Feng is so handsome!"
"Yeah! Not only is he good-looking, but he’s also great at basketball! I heard he has a chance to join the national team!"
"Compared to him, you all like Mei Tianxun, that rich guy, but I prefer Senior Wang Feng, the sunny boy who relies on his own efforts!"
"Don’t you dare compete with me for Senior Wang! He’s mine!"
Qin Hao noticed some infatuated girls by the roadside discussing a student on the basketball court.
He looked over and saw that the student was at least two meters tall, with a cool, flowing hairstyle similar to Rukawa Kaede, and naturally handsome.
On the not-so-professional court, Wang Feng was a powerhouse, walking with an imposing presence, serving as center, guard, and forward. Truly crushing everyone else.
Bang!
After a precise three-pointer went through the hoop.
An opposing student picked up the ball and yelled impatiently, "What’s the deal! Wang Feng is so badass, we’re like rookies! Not playing anymore!"
With that, he angrily threw the ball away.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball flew straight out of the court, over a group of heads, aiming directly at Qin Hao.
"Crap!"
The student covered his eyes, unwilling to look over.
There was a burst of exclamations, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the ball flying back.
What!
The student was stunned, but before he could react, the basketball hit him square on the forehead.
Bang!
The student fell to the ground, dizzy, showing the power of that throw.
"Wow!"
The scene was in an uproar, many people were surprised by the sight.
Wang Feng’s eyes lit up, and he briskly walked off the court.
"Wow! Senior Wang Feng is coming!"
"He’s looking at me! What should I do?"
"Oh my god! I’m going to faint! I can’t breathe!"
The obsessed fangirls watched Wang Feng approach, their breathing quickened.
But Wang Feng didn’t stop by them, instead, he passed by and stopped in front of Qin Hao.
What?
What does Senior Wang Feng want to do?
The fangirls were all surprised.
"Hey classmate, you’re quite skilled."
In front of everyone, Wang Feng looked at Qin Hao and said.
"Not skilled." Qin Hao shook his head flatly.
"No. You’re very skilled. Your reactions, strength, and catching show you’re a respectable opponent."
In Wang Feng’s eyes, there was a growing sense of challenge.
"Uh..."
Qin Hao was speechless; he just tossed the ball back casually.
And yet so much was imagined?
A respectable opponent, really?
"Friend! Don’t be modest! I acknowledge your skills! Come and have a match with me!"
Wang Feng enthusiastically called out. As Dongyang University’s absolute ace, he’d been lonely without competitors from other colleges.
Now that there was an equal opponent present, how could he let the chance pass?
Wang Feng’s words surprised many people.
Is this guy’s basketball really that good?
It doesn’t seem like it!
Figuring things out, Wang Feng stood six foot nine, truly a giant figure.
Although Qin Hao wasn’t short, at six foot, he was tall and sturdy.
Still, by comparison, Wang Feng made him look small, on a completely different level of aura.
But Wang Feng wasn’t fooled by height.
Seeing Qin Hao silent, he said earnestly, "Classmate! Are you afraid? With this beautiful girl next to you, refusing my invite would be embarrassing!"
Resorting to provocation?
Qin Hao was even more speechless, only saying, "I’ve hardly played basketball before."
"Friend... even if you want to reject me, there’s no need for such an excuse. It’ll only make me look down on you!"
Wang Feng said with some anger.
Never played basketball?
What a joke, gripping the ball like that, obviously you’re a pro!
"Believe it or not, it’s up to you."
Qin Hao couldn’t explain much more.
"Hey! Senior Wang Feng already said so! Do you have to be such a coward!"
At this moment, a fangirl of Wang Feng approached, giving Qin Hao a nasty look.
Shortly, another fan walked over: "You really are something! Senior Wang Feng usually doesn’t personally invite people. If you can’t meet even this request, we won’t let you off!"
Qin Hao felt a little headache.
The matters between men, why are you girls interfering?
Yet the number of fangirls coming over increased!
"If you’re a man, then face off!"
"Don’t you want to save face in front of the girls?"
"That’s Zhang Lianyi from the acting department, right? Zhang, why stick with this coward? Break up with him!"
...
Various mocking voices rose, and Wang Feng revealed a knowing smile, "Classmate, if you’re afraid of me, it’s okay, you can leave."
Qin Hao didn’t answer, but glanced at Zhang Lianyi.
Affected by the taunts, Zhang Lianyi’s face was red, her head slightly lowered, as if very ashamed.
Alas, making Ripples like this, it’s my fault. If that’s the case, let’s make a move this once.
Thinking of this, Qin Hao stepped forward: "Let’s play one-on-one."
"Great! I’ve been waiting for you to say that!"
Wang Feng laughed excitedly and walked alongside Qin Hao out of the crowd, soon reaching the basketball court.
"Friend! I’ll let you know upfront, I won’t go easy on you just ’cause you’re shorter!"
Wang Feng said very confidently, "I don’t have any other bad habits, but I love crushing, especially pros. You’re in for it!"
Qin Hao just smiled without a word, remaining very calm.
