Chapter 66: Goddess Chen Ge
Meng Yufei and Tong Wei were stunned in place, completely unable to believe that Xia Chenge could easily bypass their defense and accurately sink a three-pointer!
It must have been Xia Chenge’s luck, both of them thought.
However, when Xia Chenge effortlessly snatched the basketball from under the basket and scored again with lightning speed, the basketball court erupted in an uproar, and everyone stood up with wide eyes, staring at Xia Chenge.
Xia Chenge coolly tossed the ball to Tong Wei, who received it in a daze.
“Well done, little brother!” Ling Hanmu beamed with a brilliant smile, ran over, and patted Xia Chenge’s shoulder, then whispered in a voice only they could hear, “I love this kind of counterattack and face-slapping style the most, keep it up!”
Xia Chenge raised an eyebrow.
Tong Wei took a deep breath. No, Xia Chenge wasn’t even proficient at dribbling; he must have been careless, which allowed Xia Chenge to seize an opportunity.
Although Li Yuming’s expression remained indifferent, her gaze towards Xia Chenge held a hint of admiration.
Meng Yufei gave a wry smile. Being scored on by Xia Chenge twice felt like a real slap in the face!
Tong Wei put away his contempt for Xia Chenge and began to take the competition seriously, as did Meng Yufei. However, they were defended fiercely by Ling Hanmu and Xia Chenge, and in the end, they only managed to score by passing the ball to Li Yuming, who was unguarded.
The basketball court immediately erupted in cheers:
“Go, Yuming!”
“Goddess, you’re the best.”
“Goddess, beat Xia Chenge…”
Tong Wei and Meng Yufei were not happy at all, because only they knew how difficult those two points were to get! Meanwhile, Xia Chenge’s team already had six points, and Ling Hanmu hadn’t even officially made a move yet!
They looked at Xia Chenge with complex expressions.
This time, Ling Hanmu got the ball and, as expected, scored another two points for the red team.
Meng Yufei and Tong Wei exchanged glances, both frowning.
In contrast, the usually indifferent Li Yuming now had a slight smile on her face.
“You guys better step it up, we won’t be holding back. Don’t blame us if you lose too badly,” Ling Hanmu said to Meng Yufei and the others with a smile.
Meng Yufei glanced at him, “Don’t get too happy too soon, be careful of a slap in the face!”
“You won’t get that chance,” Xia Chenge interjected unexpectedly, declaring with great presence, “because you are destined to be the losing side!”
Tong Wei was once again mesmerized by the confident, radiant Xia Chenge before him.
“Stop bragging, Xia Chenge!”
“If you can beat the captain, we’ll call you boss from now on!”
“It’s just luck, and you’re treating it as strength? Xia Chenge, you’re too ridiculous!”
…
The spectators, hearing Xia Chenge’s words, loudly retorted.
Xia Chenge turned her head and swept them a glance, a slight smile playing on her lips, “We’ll see!”
She learned things incredibly fast, and on top of that, she had studied the rules of basketball. So, within a few minutes on the court, she had completely familiarized herself with the sport. Her reflexes, speed, and explosive power were beyond anyone on the court.
So what if Tong Wei had practiced for several years? In the face of absolute power, it was insignificant.
Thus, the subsequent game turned into Xia Chenge’s personal show, a spectacular dunk exhibition.
One shot even went from the blue team’s basket directly into the red team’s basket. Tong Wei, Meng Yufei, and Li Yuming were all dumbfounded, standing frozen in place with no reaction.
The audience, who had been booing Xia Chenge at first, gradually turned to cheers and screams, their eyes filled with admiration for Xia Chenge:
“Holy crap, Xia Chenge is too awesome!”
“I’ve seen girls who are good at basketball, but never this good. From today on, Xia Chenge is my goddess.”
“Oh my god, please accept my knees. Xia Chenge is not human, she’s a god!”
“Awooo, too amazing, I’ve never seen such a brilliant individual performance.”
“Whoever called Xia Chenge a burden, step forward and I promise I won’t kill you. She’s clearly carrying the team, and Young Master Ling is even slacking off!”
…
Even Ling Hanmu was shocked. He had always thought his basketball skills were the best at Yan Sheng High School, but he never expected Xia Chenge to be so far above him!
How did Xia Chenge do it? Seeing her slender frame, she possessed such astonishing explosive power. What a treasure had he discovered?
Too amazing!
The final whistle for the game sounded leisurely. Xia Chenge stopped running and, from afar, tossed the ball into the blue team’s hoop.
The basketball bounced on the ground and rolled to the side.
“How did you do it?” Tong Wei stared at her fixedly, his eyes no longer holding the arrogance and disdain from the beginning.
“Men and women are equal. What boys can do, girls can do too,” Xia Chenge said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. “Captain, I won!”
“Yes, you won. I am sincerely convinced of my defeat! I apologize for my ignorance. I’m sorry!” Tong Wei bowed to Xia Chenge in front of everyone.
The other team members also gathered around, asking Xia Chenge:
“Xia Chenge, how long have you been practicing?”
“You’re too amazing, teach us for the school team in the future!”
“You are simply my idol. From today on, you are my boss, and I will do whatever you command.”
“Me too, me too! Idol, please accept me as your little brother.”
…
The team members expressed their admiration, almost as if they were going to worship Xia Chenge.
Young Master Ling was displeased. He stepped forward, pushed the team members aside, pulled Xia Chenge into his arms, and glared at them menacingly, “Are you trying to snatch her from this Young Master?”
The team members were intimidated by Young Master Ling and took a step back, waving their hands fearfully and denying, “We just admire Boss Xia, we absolutely have no intention of snatching her from Young Master Ling.”
Xia Chenge broke free from Ling Hanmu, “I’m not your property.”
Ling Hanmu looked wronged, “Can’t I be considered your friend?”
Seeing this, everyone present dropped their jaws: Was this really the fearless and domineering Young Master Ling Hanmu?
Meng Yufei walked over and mocked Ling Hanmu, “You lost to a girl, how can you still stand here? If it were me, I would have slunk away long ago. Thick-skinned people are indeed different.”
Li Yuming had been observing Xia Chenge from the side. Besides surprise, there was more admiration, and she didn’t see Xia Chenge as a ‘rival in love’ at all.
“Losing to a girl, how do you still have the face to stand here?” Ling Hanmu said sarcastically, “If it were this Young Master, I would have already slunk away. Thick-skinned people are indeed different.”
Xia Chenge… these two childish ghosts were at it again.
“We’ll talk about it later,” Xia Chenge said to the school team members, then turned to get her backpack, ready to go home.
The spectators in the stands immediately swarmed over, asking Xia Chenge for her contact information:
“Classmate Chenge, can I add you on VX? I’d like you to teach me basketball sometime.”
“Classmate Xia, you’re so amazing, you’re my idol, so can you leave your contact information?”
“Goddess, please give me your number!”
