Rebirth of a Girl in a Boys' School

"I ran to his dorm as soon as the first get out of class ended, but the door was locked and no one was there!" Gao Qiang cursed angrily. "That kid is really unreliable. When I need him, he just can't be found!"

"It's better to rely on yourself than on others," Lin Ruofei said firmly. "As long as we give it our all, there's always a chance!"

As Lin Ruofei expected, the final match was against the "I Am the Only One" group of the bad kid He Zhiheng.

When Lin Ruofei followed Gao Qiang and the others down to the basketball court, and faced the five tall and powerful contestants from the "I Am the Only One" group preparing for the game, Lin Ruofei suddenly felt as if she had come from a "Lilliputian" world, completely submerged in this group of tall and strong people.

"Brother Lin, these guys on the other side are all from the school basketball team," Gao Qiang patted Lin Ruofei on the shoulder and whispered a reminder, "Looks like we're in for a tough battle today!"

"I was prepared for this. We agreed..." Lin Ruofei said to her teammates without changing her expression, "None of us are allowed to give up until the very last moment of the game!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"Never give up!"

Gao Qiang and the others immediately responded in unison.

Just as Lin Ruofei had chosen a spot on the field, she heard a loud shout suddenly come from the sidelines:

"Hey! You're watching!"

Lin Ruofei subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was the naughty boy He Zhiheng pointing at her with his right index finger and a sinister expression.

"Tch! Who are you trying to scare!" Lin Ruofei turned her head away dismissively, ignoring the verbal threats from the naughty boy He Zhiheng.

With the referee's whistle, the final match officially began.

Because the members of the "Only One" team had an absolute height advantage, they unsurprisingly won the first ball. And because these five players were all teammates on the school basketball team, their superb skills and tacit cooperation enabled the "Only One" team to successfully score the first goal on the court, and it was a beautiful three-pointer.

"Brothers, let's not hold back and give them a nice three-pointer!" Lin Ruofei, dribbling the ball, encouraged her teammates with great confidence.

"it is good!"

"no problem!"

Gao Qiang and the others immediately responded in kind.

Just as Lin Ruofei bent down, preparing to launch a perfect attack, the two defenders from the "I Am the Only One" group who were close to Lin Ruofei suddenly moved and rushed towards her, forcefully knocking her to the ground.

"Referee, they committed a malicious foul!" Gao Qiang, who was standing not far away, immediately shouted.

"Beep..." After the whistle, the referee indicated that the two defenders from the "I Am the Only One" group who deliberately bumped into Lin Ruofei each received a yellow card, plus two free throws.

"Lin Ruofei, are you alright?"

"You're not hurt anywhere?"

Gao Qiang and the others immediately surrounded Lin Ruofei, who had already stood up.

"It's nothing, a piece of cake!" Lin Ruofei said with a relaxed smile, enduring the intense pain in her back.

"Get ready for the free throw!" The referee signaled to Lin Ruofei to come to the side of the fence to take the free throw.

"Just wait and see how I get my revenge!" Lin Ruofei said, then stretched her shoulders and walked to the free throw line.

Lin Ruofei scored both penalty kicks smoothly, making the score 2-3, with Lin Ruofei's group trailing by one point.

"You'd better be careful!" Gao Qiang quickly walked to Lin Ruofei's side during the break between kickoffs and whispered a reminder: "It looks like they don't have any good intentions towards you. Try not to touch the ball later, let me handle it!"

"Don't worry! Their little tricks..." Lin Ruofei reassured Gao Qiang, "I can handle them!"

In this round of attack, the "Unrivaled" group, with their obvious height and technical advantage, successfully scored three more points.

Gao Qiang stopped Lin Ruofei, who was about to receive the serve, and rushed forward himself.

"I'm fine..." Before Lin Ruofei could finish speaking, she was suddenly knocked to the ground from behind.

This time, Lin Ruofei really got a real 'face-first' fall, lying face down on the ground and in so much pain that she couldn't get up for a long time.

"Referee, their malicious fouls went too far!" Gao Qiang immediately protested loudly.

"Whistle..." After the referee blew the whistle, he indicated that the player who had deliberately knocked down Lin Ruofei was sent off with a red card.

As soon as the player who was ejected from the game retreated to the sidelines, another tall and strong player from the "I Am the Only One" group of the school basketball team immediately replaced him on the court, and the team's overall strength advantage was not diminished at all!

"Can this student still take the free throw?" the referee shouted at Lin Ruofei, who was lying on the ground. "Should we substitute a player?"

"unnecessary!"

Before Gao Qiang and the others could answer, Lin Ruofei, who was lying on the ground, shouted, "I'm fine, I'll get up and shoot the free throws right now."

After Gao Qiang and Gao Chao each helped Lin Ruofei up, Gao Qiang immediately ordered, "Lin Ruofei, don't be reckless! Your arm is bleeding. I'll find someone to go with you to the infirmary right away!"

"I'm fine. The competition isn't over yet, I can't just leave like this!" Lin Ruofei rubbed her scraped right elbow haphazardly, and said firmly, "We absolutely can't let these bad boys get away with it!"

The three Tao brothers, who had just run over from the sidelines to check on the situation, suddenly shouted in unison:

"Ouch! Oh my god!"

Oh dear! This is terrible!

"Oh no! This is terrible!"

"Brother Lin, your face..." The eldest brother, Tao Yushun, pointed at Lin Ruofei's face and cried out in horror, "It's been disfigured!"

The second brother, Tao Yusheng, and the third brother, Tao Yuxin, chimed in, saying:

"Of course! It's bleeding! It's definitely going to leave a scar!"

"The scar is definitely there, but you can't tell its size now!"

"Is my face injured too?" Lin Ruofei turned to Gao Qiang and asked.

"It's a scrape here that's bleeding..." Gao Qiang pointed to Lin Ruofei's right cheek and anxiously advised, "Listen to me, it doesn't matter if we don't win this game, you should go to the infirmary to get it checked out!"

"No!" Lin Ruofei shook her head and said stubbornly, "I must stick to this match to the end and not let these villains succeed!"

"Are you out of your mind? These people obviously want to beat you up, not play basketball. What are you still stubbornly insisting on? Besides, it's a game that's obviously unwinnable!" A voice suddenly cut through the crowd's attempts to dissuade them, drifting coldly over...

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound, and a fiery red figure appeared before them.

"Hmph! How do you know we can't win?" Lin Ruofei looked at the red figure and said disdainfully, "A defeated opponent dares to spout nonsense!"

"Look! Look! What did I say? Zhang Yang, it's pointless to try to persuade such an ungrateful fool!"

The figure in red was Zhang Yang, who was wearing red casual clothes and had been standing in the crowd on the sidelines watching.

Zhang Yang wasn't angry at what Yu Jialiang said beside him; he just looked at Lin Ruofei without saying a word.

"Liangzi, say less..." Guo Yang, who had already figured things out, tugged at Yu Jialiang's sleeve and whispered his advice.

"You two can stay here and watch this idiot's performance. I have no interest in watching it. I'm leaving!" Yu Jialiang pushed away Guo Yang's attempt to pull him away and prepared to turn and leave.

Zhang Yang grabbed Yu Jialiang, who was about to turn and leave, but stared at Lin Ruofei and asked softly, word by word, "Do you really want to win this match that badly?"

Lin Ruofei nodded firmly and replied to Zhang Yang, "No matter what the outcome, I will definitely finish the competition because what I hate most is seeing bad people do whatever they want!"

“Well…” Zhang Yang paused for a moment, then said, “We’ll help you play in the game, and your overnight stay will be reduced by two weeks!”

"No way! Two weeks is too much!" Lin Ruofei immediately shook her head like a rattle drum, denying it without hesitation: "I don't have many days left to begin with, two weeks is absolutely not going to work!"

"Lin Ruofei, are you really stupid from the fall?" Gao Qiang, who was standing to the side, hurriedly whispered to persuade her, "If Zhang Yang and the other two are willing to help us in the competition, we'll definitely win!"

Before Lin Ruofei could speak again, Yu Jialiang preemptively asked Zhang Yang, "Zhang Yang, wait a minute! Did you just say 'we'?"

Zhang Yang nodded.

“Hey bro, are you kidding me? I have no interest in helping these poor bastards win those two and a half coins the school gives us. Guo Yang…” Yu Jialiang turned to Guo Yang beside him and asked, “I’m leaving, are you coming or not?”

"Hmph! I knew all along that the three of you didn't have any real skills..." Lin Ruofei couldn't help but sneer, "Yu Jialiang, are you afraid that losing to me back then was embarrassing enough, and losing again in front of the whole school would be even more embarrassing, right?"

"You brat, what are you saying?" Yu Jialiang immediately got anxious and shouted, "Back when the three of us brothers dominated the school basketball court, you were still chasing after basketballs aimlessly in junior high!"

"My defeated opponent dares to brag to my face..." Lin Ruofei said with a disdainful expression, "Your skin is truly thick!"

“You…” Yu Jialiang pointed at Lin Ruofei, so angry that he couldn’t say a word.

"Hey, can you still take the free throw?" The referee, getting impatient, stood in the center of the court and shouted to Lin Ruofei, "If you can, come over here quickly!"

"Gao Qiang, let's go..." Just as Lin Ruofei was pulling Gao Qiang, who was reluctant to leave, to continue the competition, Yu Jialiang behind them suddenly asked loudly, "Gao Qiang, tell me the truth, if you continue like this, do you think you can win this competition?"

"Hmm..." Gao Qiang hesitated before answering, "The chances of winning are slim."

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me whether you can win or lose?" Yu Jialiang asked loudly.

"If nothing unexpected happens... it should be..." Gao Qiang sighed, "Sigh, we've definitely lost..."

"If the three of us go on the court and win the game, does that mean we play basketball better than you guys?" Yu Jialiang asked emphatically.

"Of course!" Gao Qiang exclaimed excitedly. "If you can win this game, you will rightfully be the best basketball players at Yucai Boys' High School!"

"What are you thinking? Basketball is played with words? You think you can win just by wanting to?" Lin Ruofei retorted, not to be outdone. "Even my team, ranked No. 1 in basketball at Yucai Boys' High School, can't beat Lin Ruofei. You think you three can win just by wanting to? Keep dreaming!"

"Lin Ruofei, open your eyes wide and watch carefully!" Yu Jialiang said confidently while taking off his jacket, "I'll show you the spectacular basketball spectacle of 'Double Yang Illuminating the Entire Court' in a moment!"

"What... what do you mean by 'Double Yang Lights Up the Whole Court'?" Lin Ruofei frowned as she looked at Yu Jialiang, who had already taken off his shirt, and asked, "Are you planning to run around naked on the basketball court?"

"You're the one who's streaking!" Yu Jialiang threw his shirt at Lin Ruofei's face angrily, "I'll show you what real basketball is like later!"

"Well, since we've come this far, let's just treat each other as buddies and get some exercise today!" Guo Yang said with a smile, taking off his shirt and tossing it into Lin Ruofei's arms.

“Zhang Yang was already in our group when he ‘stood out the competition’ last time…” Gao Qiang excitedly planned, “All I have to do is quickly report Guo Yang and Yu Jialiang’s names to the school!”

Zhang Yang took the two pieces of clothing from Lin Ruofei's arms and turned to Gao Qiang, who was grinning from ear to ear, saying, "Gao Qiang, you should quickly find someone to accompany Lin Ruofei to the school clinic!"

"I'm not going!" Lin Ruofei stubbornly shook her head. "I still have to compete!"

"Are you going to go up there and get beaten up?" Zhang Yang coldly reprimanded.

"Zhang Yang is right, if you go back on the field, you'll only get hurt worse!" Gao Qiang ordered sternly, "Gao Chao and I can handle the game. Zheng Dayu is sitting on the sidelines, go find him and he'll go with you to the infirmary!"

"Then..." Lin Ruofei snatched the clothes from Zhang Yang's hand and said firmly, "If you don't want to play, then don't play. This injury is nothing serious. I'll just watch you play from the sidelines."

Seeing that Lin Ruofei had made up her mind, Gao Qiang had no choice but to ignore her and turn around to find the school organizers to register the two new members—Guo Yang and Yu Jialiang.

The onlookers immediately ran back to the sidelines and chose advantageous positions to watch the game.

Zhang Yang grabbed Lin Ruofei, who was about to run to the sidelines with the others, and took out a white cotton handkerchief from his pocket, gently tying it around Lin Ruofei's bleeding right elbow...

"The injuries on your face aren't serious, so don't touch them with your hands..." Zhang Yang said softly as he carefully examined the scratches on Lin Ruofei's face.

Zhang Yang's thoughtful gesture immediately made Lin Ruofei's face inexplicably turn red. Lin Ruofei hurriedly lowered her head to hide her embarrassment and asked incoherently, "You...aren't you going to take it off?"

"Take off what?" Zhang Yang asked, puzzled.
