Mu Changsheng chuckled softly and walked to stand opposite Wu Xinghang. "Come on."

Seeing how arrogant Mu Changsheng was, Wu Xinghang felt a flash of annoyance in his eyes. Just wait. I'll make you lose all face in front of your girlfriend.

Meng Xue'er looked somewhat worried. "Lingling, he's so tall. Does he really not know how to play basketball?"

Zhou Ling reassured her, "Don't worry. Xinghang knows everyone on the school team. No matter how tall he is, it's useless..."

Before Zhou Ling could finish, Wu Xinghang jumped, but the instant the ball left his hand, Mu Changsheng slapped it away.

A block!

Wu Xinghang was dumbfounded. He had actually been blocked?!

Impossible, impossible. That guy must have just gotten lucky!

That was right, it was just luck!

"How... how is that possible?"

"It had to be luck! Luck!"

Zhou Ling was equally incredulous.

He Shuyu, however, was a little surprised. He had been lying to her earlier, hadn't he? He clearly knew how to play basketball.

Mu Changsheng toyed with the basketball. Just as Wu Xinghang guarded him nervously, Mu Changsheng suddenly backed away, leaving Wu Xinghang utterly confused. What was this guy trying to do?

Was he going to shoot from half court?

"Lingling, what is he doing?"

Meng Xue'er asked in confusion.

Zhou Ling sneered. "He must be... planning to surrender!"

But the next second, Zhou Ling was proven wrong. Mu Changsheng threw the ball with force, tracing a perfect arc.

Clang!

The basketball went through the hoop.

Wu Xinghang stood inside the three-point line with a blank look on his face, stupidly watching the basketball bounce nearby.

"How... how is that possible?!"

Zhou Ling and Meng Xue'er were both stunned. He had actually made that?!

Mu Changsheng shrugged at Wu Xinghang. "Your turn."

Wu Xinghang picked up the ball with a dark expression. "Don't think you can win just because you got lucky. Basketball relies on skill!"

"Fine, then show me what you've got."

With a slick sidestep, Wu Xinghang thought he had dodged Mu Changsheng's defense. Just as he was about to lean back for a jump shot, a smack! rang out, and Wu Xinghang was blocked again.

"So handsome!"

"This guy is so handsome!"

"Yeah, that half-court shot just now was insanely cool!"

"Who is he? Why haven't I seen him on the school team before?"

A crowd quickly gathered. The girls stared at Mu Changsheng with stars in their eyes.

He Shuyu immediately grew nervous. There were... way too many people.

"Isn't that Wu Xinghang?"

"I know him. I didn't expect him to get crushed like this!"

"Beautiful! Another block!"

"Holy shit, another block!"

"Wu Xinghang must be getting blocked out of his mind!"

Mu Changsheng dribbled the basketball, then suddenly spun past Wu Xinghang.

Clang!

The more Wu Xinghang played, the more afraid he became. This guy was playing physical—why did his shoulder keep driving into him like an elbow? The force was considerable, yet it was controlled perfectly, leaving Wu Xinghang unable to complain.

"So handsome!"

Wu Xinghang was drenched in sweat, too preoccupied to care about the pain from being elbowed.

He felt utterly miserable inside.

Who was this guy? Which college was he from? How was he this good at basketball?!

Even the team captain couldn't guarantee blocking him so precisely every single time.

Seeing Mu Changsheng charge toward him, Wu Xinghang encouraged himself. No matter what, he had to stop this shot.

But fantasies were always beautiful, while reality was brutally cruel.

Mu Changsheng leaped into the air. Wu Xinghang had just tried to defend when Mu Changsheng suddenly changed direction, landed an unintentional elbow, then spun into a handsome dunk.

Clang!

Another handsome dunk!

"Holy shit, was that really that cool?!"

"That guy must be completely dazed from getting beaten."

"Haha, challenging someone without any skill."

Wu Xinghang lay painfully on the ground, the skin on his arm scraped raw against the floor.

Mu Changsheng looked at Wu Xinghang lying on the ground. "So? Are you convinced now?"

"If not, we can keep going."

Wu Xinghang's face darkened beyond measure. Keep going, my ass. If they kept going, he would lose every shred of face he had left.

Besides, Mu Changsheng's elbows had left his entire body aching.

Most importantly, every time, he had been the one to run into him.

Zhou Ling and Meng Xue'er felt utterly humiliated as well. Zhou Ling looked at Wu Xinghang on the ground. This guy was too useless.

He had actually been beaten into such a state?

Meng Xue'er looked at Mu Changsheng. He was relaxed and at ease, as though he had not even used his full strength.

Then she looked at Wu Xinghang on the ground, beaten so badly that he could not even lift his head.

For a moment, Meng Xue'er could not help wondering whether she had been blind.

She had found herself a useless man.

Mu Changsheng stretched lazily and glanced at Wu Xinghang. "I won't make you call me Grandpa. After all, a dog wouldn't keep its promise."

Mu Changsheng patted Wu Xinghang on the shoulder. "Kid, you need more practice."

With both hands in his pockets, Mu Changsheng walked toward Meng Xue'er.

Mu Changsheng sized Meng Xue'er up. She wore a green knit top, its delicate puffed sleeves adding a touch of playfulness, while its fitted cut emphasized her graceful figure.

She paired it with vintage-style jeans.

She was fairly pretty.

When Meng Xue'er saw Mu Changsheng walking toward her, her gaze flickered away. Yet when he drew close, her heart began pounding uncontrollably.

Why is my heart beating so fast?

As they brushed past each other, Mu Changsheng paused slightly.

"Beauty, your boyfriend doesn't seem like much. He only knows how to talk big. Can he satisfy you?"

At the same time, Mu Changsheng used Heavenly Voice, making Meng Xue'er blush furiously as her heart raced.

As for someone like Zhou Ling, Mu Changsheng could not even be bothered to speak to her. Her looks were far too mediocre.

Mu Changsheng walked up to He Shuyu and smiled faintly. "What do you think?"

He Shuyu blushed. "I didn't expect you to be so good at basketball."

"I'm not particularly good at basketball, but elbows are another matter..."

"Elbows... what does that mean?"

"Nothing... it's just a technique."

Mu Changsheng and He Shuyu chatted and laughed, instantly breaking the hearts of many girls watching nearby.

"That handsome guy has a girlfriend?"

"I thought spring had finally come for me."

"..."

Hearing the gossip around her, He Shuyu hurriedly linked her arm through Mu Changsheng's, seemingly declaring that he was her boyfriend.

"I didn't expect you to know how to play basketball too."

Xu Wen walked over at that moment.

Mu Changsheng was somewhat surprised to see Xu Wen. "Why are you here?"

Xu Wen glanced at He Shuyu and chuckled. "Shuyu asked me to come."

"If it weren't for Shuyu, I wouldn't have known you looked this handsome playing basketball too."

"Damn, why are there two beauties surrounding him?!"

"You're actually jealous, bro? He's got height, skill, and looks. Isn't it normal for people to chase after him?"

"Fuck, I'm going to play basketball too!"

When Wu Xinghang saw the two beauties beside Mu Changsheng, his gaze became incomparably gloomy. Damn bastard. I'll make you repay today's humiliation a hundredfold.

Wu Xinghang saw that Meng Xue'er and Zhou Ling were looking at Mu Changsheng too, and Meng Xue'er's gaze was practically melting...

That nearly made Wu Xinghang faint from anger.
