Saturday afternoon, at the south campus gym.
The basketball game between Dongzhou University and the sports college was a highlight every year.
The sports college players were all tall and powerfully built. With their professional athletic training, they had no shortage of stamina or skill, and Dongzhou University got crushed year after year.
The stands were almost full. Aside from those who had come for the excitement, most had heard Yuan Su would be playing and had made a special trip to see the physics department's star.
Holding two bottles of water, Pu Yu sat in the front row, where she had the best view.
When Yuan Su stepped onto the court in his white number 12 jersey, a wave of irrepressible gasps instantly rose from the girls in the stands.
He was simply too strikingly handsome.
Usually, he carried an air of composed, languid detachment. But once he put on a jersey and stood on the court, the youthful exuberance he normally kept in check came pouring out without restraint.
His fair skin, the perfect proportions of his head and shoulders, the lean, powerful lines of his arms-even casually standing there dribbling to warm up, he made it impossible to look away.
The whistle blew.
The sports college players were fierce indeed. They charged in aggressively from the start, determined to put the physics department in its place.
But Yuan Su never met them head-on.
His playing style was just like him: effortless and utterly clearheaded.
With a casual change of direction, he moved so fast they could barely catch a blur, slipping straight past the sports college's star player. He jumped, flicked his wrist, and the ball traced a high, beautiful arc through the air.
Swish.
A clean three-pointer dropped through the net.
The entire gym erupted!
