The aloof school beauty has been reborn and is now pursuing me relentlessly.

The time and location for the spring outing have all been confirmed.

We'll officially depart next Thursday.

After counselor Xu Liang gave a clear schedule on the podium, the students in the class below cheered and stirred.

The girls were already excitedly discussing and planning how much luggage and pretty clothes they needed to bring for their four-day, three-night spring outing.

As for the boys—

The boys were even more enthusiastic than the girls, actively participating in discussions about topics relevant to the girls and enthusiastically offering advice to their female classmates.

"If you're going to soak in a hot spring, you can bring several nice yukatas."

"I recently saw some nice yukatas online, I'll recommend them to you guys later!"

"Oh dear, what are you saying!"

"Of course, of course! We're all classmates, it's our duty to help each other!!"

Each one of them exuded righteousness and radiated the light of Buddha.

Full of positive energy.

One of the single counselors on the podium almost got distracted and lost focus.

I subconsciously started thinking about whether I should also discuss the hot springs with my female colleague, Ms. Shen...

Suddenly I snapped back to reality.

He reached out and tapped the podium, his face hardening again.

"Hey, hey, hey, there's still a week left."

"Let's all calm down and focus on our own thoughts."

"Let's get the important things done first."

The students below the stage were full of fighting spirit and responded enthusiastically:

"Don't worry, Brother Liang!"

"We promise to study hard this week!"

Xu Liang nodded in satisfaction, then, as if remembering something, added:

"Don't forget about the basketball game either."

……

This afternoon is the second round of the college basketball tournament.

The Advertising Class 1's opponent in this round is the Broadcasting and Journalism Class.

After being reminded by their counselor, Lin Ran, Ma Xiaoshuai, Li Zhuang, and two other male team members rushed to the playground to warm up after class.

The other students in the class, acting as the support team, went back to their dormitories to rest and pack up before heading over as well.

I just arrived at the playground to practice and warm up by shooting.

As Lin Ran made a three-pointer, he turned around unintentionally and saw a very familiar, bright and beautiful figure walking leisurely towards him.

Lin Ran was slightly surprised, but smiled and went to greet him:

"Why are you here so early?"

"The game hasn't started yet."

Su Qingyan walked up to her boyfriend carrying a bag of bottled water and drinks, and smiled slightly when she heard the question:

"know."

"Since I had nothing to do after class, I came to watch you warm up."

As she spoke, the girl took a bottle of mineral water out of her bag and handed it to Lin Ran.

Then he turned to Ma Xiaoshuai, Li Zhuang, and the others on the court and waved to them:

"I bought some for you too."

"Choose for yourself."

Ma Xiaoshuai and Li Zhuang came over excitedly:

"Thank you, Sister Tiezhu!"

"Sister Tiezhu is so generous! Third Brother is really lucky to have a girlfriend like you!"

Both of them had become familiar with Su Qingyan early on and were among the first followers that Su Tiezhu recruited. They were also very open and informal with each other.

As for the other two male members of the advertising class basketball team, they were somewhat flattered. They nervously thanked him repeatedly while carefully accepting the soda and mineral water bottles.

And just as I took the drink in my hand.

Suddenly, I noticed countless eyes were being cast at me from all around the court.

I was filled with envy and jealousy.

This made the two advertising class members subconsciously straighten their backs and feel a strange sense of vanity and accomplishment.

Although it was a benefit from the situation.

But rounding it up, this guy is practically a man who was personally brought water and comforted by the campus belle of Suzhou University!

Most people would envy this!

Thinking about it this way, the two team members actually felt grateful to Comrade Lin Erchui, who had helped them gain favor.

Suddenly, I wasn't jealous anymore.

These two are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!

—A huge shout-out to the CP that's been crushing everyone!

—A compliment to a well-matched couple!

—Praise Yunaan… Oh well, we can’t lose our bottom line, damn Yunaan Middle School!

……

Half past four in the afternoon.

The game started on time.

Before the game, the cheerleading squads from both classes came over, and the sidelines were packed with spectators, as well as students from other classes and even other colleges and majors.

Most of them came for the lavish support group from the advertising class...

Everyone's heard that the support team for Class 1 of Advertising in the School of Humanities has a stellar lineup.

I even heard that a campus belle from Soochow University came to support the event.

Many students from Dongda University were initially skeptical, but upon closer inspection, they were utterly amazed and shocked to find, as expected, the cool and radiant girl standing among the cheering crowd of Class 1, Advertising.

And then the next second.

Then, they froze, watching as their beloved, aloof school beauty boldly held up a support sign—

[Go Lin Ran!]

[—Leaved by family member.]

This time, the support signs have even been upgraded and modified.

The words "Leave to Family Members" in the second row were accompanied by an image that appeared to be a lip print.

—It doesn’t even seem to have been printed on.

—It's a real lipstick.

Students from Dongda University: "!!!"

The pupils trembled violently!

It feels like the sky has fallen!

The cheering squad for Class 1 of Advertising was very large and impressive.

Their momentum immediately overwhelmed the broadcasting and journalism class, causing their morale to plummet.

It wasn't until the appearance of an equally beautiful girl that the members of the broadcasting class regained their spirits:

"Liu Yuanhua is here!"

"We also have beautiful girls cheering us on!"

Everyone instinctively looked over.

Liu Xiaowan walked gracefully over, but noticed Lin Ran warming up on the sidelines. After hesitating for a moment, she went straight to greet him.

The students in the Broadcasting class: "?"

No.

Liu Yuanhua, are you going the wrong way? Your team is over here!

At this moment, Liu Xiaowan had already walked up to someone. Lin Ran was bending over to warm up when she looked up and saw a familiar face, slightly surprised:

"Oh, you're here too?"

Liu Xiaowan smiled gently at Lin Ran:

"Ah."

"Your opponents today are our class."

Now, having shed her competitive spirit, Liu, the campus belle, speaks with Lin Ran in a more relaxed and natural manner, exchanging pleasantries as if they were friends.

"By the way, are you going to Lingquan Mountain for your spring outing this time?"

Lin Ran nodded: "Yes, it was just decided."

Liu Xiaowan laughed:

“What a coincidence, we’re going there too. Maybe we can all hang out together later.”

She paused for a moment, then asked:

"Is Su going too?"

Lin Ran nodded naturally:

"Of course, family members are allowed to bring along."

"And the hot springs there are open to both men and women..."

I almost let something slip, but I quickly corrected myself without batting an eye:

"I mean, soaking in hot springs is good for your health, so I took her to soak in one."

Liu Xiaowan was completely unconcerned about someone's sudden change of lines, only slightly lost in thought, and muttered:

"Really... That's great."

His tone carried a hint of envy and longing.

Coming to her senses, Liu Xiaowan quickly regained her composure and smiled at Lin Ran:

"It's time for the match."

"Good luck later!"

After saying that, he turned and left, returning to his class's support group.

Lin Ran watched Liu Xiaowan leave, and as he turned his gaze away, he was startled to see someone had appeared beside him at some point.

"Where did you come from?"

Su Qingyan had a smiling expression on her face:

"Just came here."

"It's quite reasonable that someone was having so much fun chatting with the campus belle that he didn't notice his own girlfriend."

A light, airy tone.

It clearly carried an aura of danger.

Lin Ran chuckled:

"No way, we were just exchanging a few polite words."

"She asked about our spring outing and just gave me a little encouragement."

Su Qingyan picked up the large support sign in her hand and waved it at someone:

"Isn't my encouragement enough?"

Lin Ran patted his chest vigorously, his face full of confidence:

"enough!"

"It must be enough!"

"Don't worry, with you here, I'm definitely in top form today!"

Su Qingyan nodded in satisfaction.

The girl glanced casually at the broadcasting class group not far away and at a certain pretty girl from the college, then turned to look at her boyfriend, raising an eyebrow:

"So, taking them down today shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Lin Ran scratched his head as he listened:

"That's hard to say, their team has basketball recruits..."

"I'll try my best."

Su Qingyan wrinkled her nose:

"No."

"We will win."

Lin Ran couldn't help but chuckle:

"Winning or losing can't be decided with just a few words—"

Su Qingyan's lips curled up, and her tone suddenly became charming:

"If you win, I will..."

As they were talking, the girl suddenly tiptoed forward and whispered something in someone's ear:

"..."

Those around them couldn't clearly hear the content of the words.

All that could be seen was someone who suddenly shuddered upon hearing this.

Then I came to my senses.

Lin Ran was instantly filled with fighting spirit and strode onto the field:

"Brothers, we must take this today!"

"Fight!!!"
