Finally, along with the referee’s whistle, the match had ended.
116: 93. A complete victory by the language department!
“We won, we won!”
The entire language department was stunned at first, then erupted in cheers.
“Ye’zi, good job!”
“Ye’zi, you’re really something man, keeping such a low profile!”
“Good at games, Kungfu, and basketball. You must be some sort of hidden expert, aren’t you? Comparing you and He Yuan, he’s like a pile of dog poo!”
“Ye’zi, you’re so dependable. If I were a girl, I’ll surely fawn over you!”
“Is it too late to get gender reassignment therapy?”
Potato and gang joined in too, hugging Ye Lingchen and laughing along.
“Ye Lingchen, thank you very much,” Gao Wen approached him to show her appreciation, carrying a hint of excitement in her voice, “Ye Lingchen, if you continue to take part in the upcoming matches, our department will surely win first place!”
“I’ll pass,” Ye Lingchen shook his head, “I’ll leave the following matches in your hands.”
He joined the match just to teach He Yuan a lesson. If he continued to take part in the competition, that would be just plain bullying.
A look of disappointment appeared on Gao Wen’s face, but she did not make any further requests, “It’s fine. However, I suggest that you apply for the university’s sports department. With your potential, you should not waste your talents.”
“I will consider that,” Ye Lingchen answered with a smile and nodded, after which he helped support Little Gen to the infirmary.
With his medical knowledge, he could help Little Gen set his bones back with some massaging. However, doing so might attract too much-unwanted attention. He had brought enough attention to himself that day and decided to leave it at that after he gave it some consideration.
“Ye’zi, you’re amazing! That felt great!” Little Gen kept talking, almost forgetting the pain in his foot.
“Those blocks of yours had traumatized the entire sports department. I had even specially recorded all their expressions down. I’ll be saving that to my collection,” Xiang added from the side.
“Damn! That’s smart! Quick, send it to me. That way I’ll have something to destress myself with in the future.”
At the same time, the people in the sports department also let out a breath of relief, “It’s finally over!”
They did not feel bad because of the loss. Instead, they felt free from the shackles of that match, a blissful smile of freedom shown on their faces.
They suffered from the heavy pressure when faced with Ye Lingchen. It was a match where one could not see a sliver of hope. Even until the end, they dared not even think about touching the ball as the moment they touched it, it would mean that they would be in Ye Lingchen’s sights. Just recalling the memory brought fear to them!
He Yuan stared at Ye Lingchen’s figure, his face deathly pale and the veins on his forehead bulged. The intense humiliation almost turned his face into a different color.
‘You’re just a loser in the end. Just you wait!’
At the same time, his phone vibrated from a message received. It came from an unknown number.
[Tonight Li Muxue will ask Ye Lingchen out for dinner. The location is at Old Eastern Gate restaurant.]
It was just a simple message, but it transformed He Yuan’s expression into an extremely dark one.
Just the humiliation from Ye Lingchen’s constant blocking was bad enough. At that moment, he felt that Ye Lingchen had donned a green hat1 on his head. A field of greenfield on the top, growing greener by the second.
Of course, that was all just one-sided in his head.
A cruel look flashed across his eyes, ‘This is unbearable!’
Ye Lingchen brought Little Gen to the infirmary. A sprained foot was not a big deal. He only needed to take a good rest to recover. After getting some anti-inflammatory medication and pain killers, they let him out.
Just as they exit the infirmary, Ye Lingchen paused in his steps with a look of surprise on his face.
Standing outside was Li Muxue and Huang Xiaomeng. It would seem that they followed him over.
Potato and the gang instead displayed a creepy smile, their eyes shifting between Li Muxue and Ye Lingchen.
“Ye Lingchen, can I treat you to dinner tonight?” Li Muxue’s beautiful eyes stared at Ye Lingchen sincerely.
“Of course! Our Ye’zi is very free!” Xiang answered without giving Ye Lingchen a chance to reply, even pushing him forward, “Ye’zi, we’ll be going back first. Have fun!”
Little Gen waved him goodbye, “You don’t have to come home tonight. We won’t be waiting for you…”
‘Those three animals…’ Ye Lingchen shook his head helplessly, then looked towards Li Muxue, “What’s the matter?”
“I’m sorry that I caused you so much trouble,” Li Muxue answered after biting her lips.
All the while she had been reflecting on her actions with the scene where she met Ye Lingchen constantly on replayed in her mind.
From the moment she met Ye Lingchen on the bus, she had assumed that Ye Lingchen stirred up trouble to gain her attention. In the end, not only did Ye Lingchen save a child, he even captured the kidnappers.
After that, he had used Ye Lingchen as a shield to reject He Yuan. To her, it was just a small issue, but it caused Ye Lingchen to be at the receiving end of He Yuan’s petty revenge.
If not for Ye Lingchen handling each situation as they came, the outcome would have been worse.
However, while she was feeling guilty, a twinge of curiosity grew in her heart. Every time she met him, he seemed to be full of surprises. Everything he did was like the stars in the sky, attracting people around him.
However, when she recalled the time Ye Lingchen forced a kiss on her and spewed those baseless words, it made her feel aggravated and embarrassed.
All in all, she had mixed feelings about Ye Lingchen.
Ye Lingchen did not know all the inner thoughts that Li Muxue had in that short amount of time. He only saw Li Muxue’s expression constantly changing between guilt, embarrassment, anger…
This woman… her face was just too expressive. It was a shame for her to not be in a movie.
Ye Lingchen thought about it regretfully, then said, “If it’s to apologize, then save it. We’ll just treat it like nothing ever happened and we don’t owe each other anything.”
Having said that, he tried to leave.
Li Muxue tried to speak, but was at a loss for words, feeling frustrated.
That was the first time someone could ignore her beauty, yet she could not be angry about it.
“Hey, are you a man or not?” Huang Xiaomeng shouted at Ye Lingchen. She moved to place herself directly in Ye Lingchen’s path, blocking his way and stared at him.
“We, as girls, have taken the initiative to apologize. Why are you acting all high and mighty? You’re just too petty! Furthermore, you have announced in public that you have slept with Sister Muxue. We’re not even holding you accountable for that. Do you know how damaging it is for us girls to have those words spread out?”
“Moreover, isn’t Sister Muxue beautiful enough? We’re treating you to dinner, not torturing you. What do you have to be afraid of as a man?”
“Fine. Where do you want to go?” Ye Lingchen looked at Li Muxue, then finally agreed to it.
“Let’s go to the Old Eastern Gate Restaurant near the university. Their food is good, and the price is decent,” Without waiting for Li Muxue’s reply, Huang Xiaomeng interjected impatiently, “Let’s not waste time, we’ll head over now…”
