She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

A month later, the basketball game arrived as scheduled.

No boys from Finance Class 1 joined the school team, and the two tickets were given out by lottery.

Those who win tickets can legitimately skip classes and go watch the game; the counselor will approve the tickets. But those without tickets can't.

After finishing her business ethics and social responsibility class, Tang Li leaned over to Jiang Lai and said, "No more classes? Want to go watch the game?"

Li Xiangyue: "You're really carefree, considering how much homework I have today!"

"We're going to watch the game. Xiangyue, you go back to your dorm and do your homework. When we get back, let's talk to the kids!"

"It's you and Zhao Zhao who should be getting help! Ah Jiang doesn't need it."

"Okay, then you can bail me and Zhao Zhao out."

Li Xiangyue sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Come back early. It's just a competition, what's so interesting about it? Come back and do your homework. Also, you two are paying for my dinner."

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go." Tang Li and Zhao Ying pulled Jiang Lai out of the classroom quickly.

Jiang Lai tried to struggle, "I can walk by myself!!"

"Hurry, hurry, we've already missed quite a bit!"

University itself is synonymous with youth. On campus, any scene or setting can evoke memories of youth in someone who is no longer young. The sports field is always the most passionate, vibrant, and exciting place.

Jiang Lai and the other two went outside the basketball court. Tang Li then took out her phone and sent a message. Someone opened the side door and led them in, letting them sit in a place quite close to the court, with a better view than the distant stands.

This game was a league between several schools. Although there were no spectators from other schools, even though it was just students from Imperial University, the entire basketball arena was still filled with thunderous applause and noise. It seemed that if the audience’s enthusiasm were any higher, the roof of the basketball arena would be blown off.

Jiang Lai took out her phone; she still hadn't received any news from Hui Jin.

Jiang Lai looked around while holding her phone and saw many boys wearing different basketball uniforms in the waiting area not far away.

The Police Academy is blue, the Foreign Languages ​​University is pink, the Normal University is green, the Geosciences University is brown, the Imperial University is bright yellow, and the Sports University is black.

All the basketball jerseys had their school's name and numbers printed on the back.

It's halftime now, and the cheerleaders are dancing. They're members of the school's street dance club. They move to rhythmic beats, their movements perfectly synchronized. They have ponytails, their hair swaying, and everyone has a warm smile on their face. Besides being good dancers, those who join the street dance club are naturally all beautiful, a feast for the eyes. Their skirts flutter, and their rhythm is just right. The lead dancer's back jump ignites the enthusiasm of the entire audience.

Cheers and screams echoed throughout the stadium, hormones were ignited, and the entire competition entered a heated state.

Jiang Lai sent a message to Lu Jin: I've arrived.

Lu Jin replied quickly: Where are you? I'm about to go on stage!

Jiang Lai: I'm across from the waiting area.

Lu Jin saw Jiang Lai's reply, subconsciously stood up from his chair, and then searched for her.

Jiang Lai also looked up and met Lu Jin's gaze.

He seemed surprised to see her so soon, paused for a moment, and then waved vigorously.

Jiang Lai waved and said, "Good luck."

Lu Jin seemed to understand and nodded vigorously.

"Next up are Imperial University of Physical Education and Imperial University."

Tang Li and Zhao Ying also saw Jiang Lai's actions, followed her gaze, and then saw Lu Jin.

Tang Li: "Who is that?"

Zhao Ying knew Lu Jin, so she said, "He's from A Jiang's hometown, from the sports university. I didn't expect him to come."

"What a coincidence!" Tang Li exclaimed. "It's a pity he's playing against our school, otherwise I could cheer him on."

Perhaps because Teito University was the host, their basketball team played particularly fiercely in this game.

Jiang Lai doesn't know much about basketball. In fact, Tang Li and Zhao Ying don't know much about basketball either. Everyone is just watching the boys.

The whistle blew, and the game began.

The players from the sports university are all very tall, around 1.8 to 1.9 meters, and they look very imposing and strong. The male students from the Imperial University are generally around 1.8 meters tall.

As the two sides chased each other, some collisions were inevitable, which made for a very exciting spectacle.

Jiang Lai didn't recognize any of her school's basketball players, so her gaze inevitably fell on Lu Jin, whom she knew.

The players from Imperial University double-teamed Lu Jin, who had the ball, in an attempt to stop him. However, Lu Jin moved nimbly from side to side, dribbling towards the inside. One of the Imperial University players tried to steal the ball from him or block him from the outside, but Lu Jin still managed to squeeze into the paint and then executed a beautiful turnaround hook shot, easily putting the ball into the basket.

Cheers erupted from the audience.

Tang Li: "Ah Jiang's fellow villager is amazing! He scored a goal so early in the game!"

“This is a student from the Sports University!” Zhao Ying said.

"Go Imperial University!!" The audience began cheering for their school.

Tang Li shoved a cheering stick into Jiang Lai's hand. She waved it a couple of times and then saw Lu Jin looking at her.

He raised his chin at himself, looking very proud.

Jiang Lai couldn't help but laugh and gave a thumbs up.

Lu Jin clearly saw it, and laughed even more heartily.

It was the Imperial University team's turn to inbound the ball. One player dribbled while gesturing to his teammates. Several players in the paint quickly stepped out and blocked the male players from the Sports University team, setting a screen. The players on the other side understood the Imperial University team's intention and quickly adjusted their positions.

Lu Jin ran behind the player with the ball to prevent him from finding an opportunity to drive and shoot through a screen.

The situation on the field is always changing rapidly.

The Imperial University players had clearly changed their strategy. They spread out, with everyone positioned on the right side, giving the player dribbling the ball a one-on-one opportunity. That player seized the moment and scored with a step-back layup.

"Great shot!!!" a boy in the stands shouted, and the girls screamed as well.

"I suddenly understand why boys who play basketball are so popular," Tang Li said, clapping her hands.

The ball was in the hands of a player from the China University of Sport. After a pass, the ball reached the inside, and the number seven player from the China University of Sport faked out to the outside and made a turnaround jump shot.

As the game went on, the players got into the game, each showing their best skills, running all over the field, and each of them was covered in sweat.

Halftime is here.

Tang Li handed Jiang Lai a bottle of water, "Go and deliver the water!"

"Who is it for?"

"We'll send them to our own people first!" Tang Li said. "Come with me!"

She handed Jiang Lai a bottle of water and led her to the vicinity of the rest area.

"Here it is!" Tang Li exclaimed.

The basketball team captain walked to the fence. "You actually came?"

"Yes, it's a promise! Here, water!"

Jiang Lai understood and left the space to Tang Li and her fellow villagers, then quietly walked to the vicinity of the rest area belonging to the university.

"Lu Jin!"

Lu Jin was wiping his face with a towel when he saw Jiang Lai and quickly ran over.

"Water." Jiang Lai was two or three steps away from him, and threw him the water.

Lu Jin deftly took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, took several sips of water, then tightened the cap and walked over to Jiang Lai.

"If you give me water, your school's team won't be angry, will they?"

Jiang Lai hesitated before speaking, "Brother, you drank my water, won't your teammates be angry?"

Both of them were pretentious and pedantic.

Lu Jin's face was flushed red, as if it were burning. It was hard to tell if it was from the excitement of the competition. He was radiating heat, his hair was wet, and he was panting. He looked a little different from usual, with a hint of something sinister about him.

"Will you still cheer me on in the second half?" he asked.

"We'll see! After all, my school is a few points behind yours!"

Lu Jin looked at her pitifully: "Just cheer me on quietly like you used to, even if it's just quietly!"

Jiang Lai laughed out loud and secretly made a cheering gesture: "Then good luck to you."

Lu Jin was satisfied and happily ran back to the group.

Jiang Lai returned to her previous seat, and Zhao Ying complained, "You two are something else, aren't you? You both have someone to cheer you on, don't you?"

"You can also take a look and find someone to cheer him on."

"You know what, there's a really handsome guy in the police academy team across the street!"

Imperial University lost to Sports University by a narrow margin of one point.

The remaining match is between the teams from the Sports University and the Police Academy. Both teams are strong, with similar physical abilities and equally matched skills, so the outcome is still uncertain.

Jiang Lai watched Lu Jin dribble, pass, attack, and defend on the court.

The two teams were neck and neck, chasing each other and refusing to give an inch.

This was an extremely intense match.

In the end, the larger body slightly won.

The cheerleaders went up to dance, and the organizers presented awards to the winning team. In addition to a medal, they also gave a wreath, which was placed around the neck of the teacher leading the team from the university. The team members also received a small wreath, the kind that you wear on your wrist.

“Great, this is so typical of Beijing University, they give out flowers for every award.” Zhao Ying clapped her hands.

The competition ended, followed by speeches from the leaders, then group photos. The audience gradually left. Tang Li headed towards her fellow townsman, and Zhao Ying asked Jiang Lai, "Are you going to find your fellow townsman too?"

Jiang Lai shook her head: "I've already messaged him. I'll go with you."

The sports university won the game, so they should definitely celebrate. Why would she go to see him?

She and Zhao Ying walked out with the flow of people.

Suddenly, Jiang Lai heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw Lu Jin.

The boy's face was flushed from exercise, sweat trickled down his neck, and his soaked basketball jersey clung tightly to his body. You could clearly feel the muscles in his abdomen, and his taut arms and legs, showcasing the boy's vigorous strength.

He walked towards her. "The competition is over, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

"I rushed back to do my homework, and I didn't even do my homework because I was watching the game."

Lu Jin scratched his head: "Alright then! I was going to ask you if you wanted to go out to eat together."

"Your team is celebrating?" "Yeah!" "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go?"

Lu Jin: "That's true! Here, take this!"

"what?"

"Put your hand out."

Jiang Lai stretched out her hand, and a flower wreath was placed on her right hand.

"Sure enough, it looks better on girls!"

"Lu Jin!!"

Someone is calling him.

"Coming!" he replied, then turned around. "I'll contact you later! Bye!"

Jiang Lai nodded to him: "Bye-bye!"

My phone suddenly received a WeChat message at that moment.

Lu Jin: I'm sharing my happiness with you.

Lu Jin: (Puppy spinning emoji)

Basketball games release not only the hormones and energy of young people, but also hidden emotions, which are vented in running, shouting and cheering, and staring at each other.

Zhao Ying stood with her hands in her pockets, watching for a while, and said, "Snap out of it! You can't let your soul leave just because he left, can you?"

Jiang Lai gave her a cool look. "Let's go back to the dorm. I guess you don't want to copy the homework."

"No, no, no! I was just kidding!"
