Chapter 41: Coach, I Want to Play Basketball
"Kid, if you have guts don’t run away!"
The girl fiercely threw out a sentence, opened the door and got out of the car, and quickly left wearing high heels.
Xu Xiangbei shook his head with a smile, just about to drive away, when suddenly his eyes brightened, seeing a girl playing badminton beside the basketball court.
The girl wore a goose yellow short skirt, a small-sized basketball jersey on top, had her hair in pigtails, and looked very cute and playful.
"Chen Xin?"
Xu Xiangbei focused his gaze, quickly recognizing the girl’s identity.
This girl was the facial paralysis patient who was treated at the First People’s Hospital two days ago. What a coincidence that Xu Xiangbei ran into her soon after arriving at Jiangcheng University.
"Lucky me."
Xu Xiangbei immediately got out of the car and quickly walked towards Chen Xin.
"Oh no, the badminton shuttlecock is stuck in the tree."
Chen Xin hit a high lob, directly sending the shuttlecock onto the branches of a sycamore tree. She was instantly anxious and jumped up and down: "What should I do now?"
Her chubby friend playing with her, looked at the shuttlecock stuck in the tree with an innocent face and said, "Chen Xin, hurry and climb the tree to get the shuttlecock down."
"I can’t climb trees." Chen Xin shook her head.
"You’re as thin as a monkey, and you can’t climb a tree?"
The chubby girl joked: "Look at me as fat as a pig, are you going to make a pig climb a tree?"
Chen Xin couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Chen Xin."
Xu Xiangbei walked over with a cigarette in his mouth, wearing big shorts, swaggering every three steps.
"Dr. Xu?"
Chen Xin turned her head, her beautiful eyes lighting up: "Why are you at Jiangcheng University? That’s great, I should treat you to lunch later."
"Since you’re sincerely inviting me for lunch, I’ll give you the honor."
Xu Xiangbei arrogantly tilted up his chin.
Chen Xin covered her mouth and snickered, while the chubby friend beside her disdainfully rolled her eyes: "Hey, can you help us get the shuttlecock down?"
"Who are you hey-ing?" Xu Xiangbei glared at the chubby girl.
"I’m hey-ing you, help us get the shuttlecock down." The chubby girl said righteously, seeming a bit displeased with Xu Xiangbei.
"You loving me is alright, but I don’t love you. Why are you being self-indulgent?"
Xu Xiangbei curled up the corner of his mouth.
"Bastard!"
The chubby girl, infuriated yet amused, lifted her foot to kick Xu Xiangbei.
"Chen Xin, let me help you get the shuttlecock down."
Two tall young men, well over one meter ninety, wearing basketball jerseys, walked out from the basketball court, seeing the shuttlecock stuck in the branch, one wearing a Jordan jersey volunteered to help.
"Wow, it’s the basketball team captain Cao Fang."
The chubby girl, seeing the newcomer, immediately had her eyes filled with stars, looking infatuated.
Seeing the newcomer, Chen Xin shyly lowered her head, softly responding with a hmm.
"Chen Xin, how about having lunch together later?"
The young man named Cao Fang smiled brightly: "I heard there’s a new western restaurant on the street outside the campus, and the steak and desserts are very delicious."
"Chen Xin, what are you waiting for? This is your crush, quickly agree to him!" The chubby girl blushed, seemingly more excited than Chen Xin.
"Sorry, I’ve already made plans with someone."
Chen Xin awkwardly shook her head.
"Made plans with someone?"
Cao Fang instinctively turned his head to glance at Xu Xiangbei, shaking his head with a sneer: "You’re not going to have a date with this shorty, are you? Tsk tsk, looks so pathetic, what good food could he possibly treat you to?"
"Sorry, I need to correct a mistake."
Xu Xiangbei grinned at Cao Fang, cigarette in his mouth: "I’m not treating Chen Xin to lunch, she’s the one treating me."
"What? You’re going on a date with a woman, and you’re letting her pay? Wow, truly the poorest of the poor!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Fang laughed hysterically, his dark-skinned tall companion beside him also laughed, openly showing disdain for Xu Xiangbei.
"Cao Fang, please show some respect to my friend. Otherwise, don’t blame me for getting angry."
Chen Xin spoke up angrily to defend Xu Xiangbei.
"Chen Xin, who do you think you are? Shouting at me like this in front of me? I’m not afraid to tell you, I don’t fancy you at all, I just wanted to tease you on a whim."
Cao Fang sneered and mercilessly ridiculed Chen Xin.
"You..."
Chen Xin turned pale with anger, pulling Xu Xiangbei, about to leave: "Dr. Xu, let’s go."
"No problem, let me get the shuttlecock down before leaving."
Xu Xiangbei looked up at the shuttlecock stuck on the tree, about three and a half meters high, normally unreachable.
"Shorty, need to go fetch a ladder?"
Cao Fang mocked.
"Oh wow, thanks for the suggestion."
Xu Xiangbei nodded with a smile, quickly drove his Ferrari to the tree, used the luxury car as a ladder, jumped up, and easily retrieved the shuttlecock.
"Here you go." Xu Xiangbei handed the shuttlecock to Chen Xin.
"Thank you."
Chen Xin, amazed at Xu Xiangbei’s luxury car, took the shuttlecock and politely thanked him.
"Damn, Chen Xin, I thought you were pure, thought you were a virgin so wanted to play with you, never thought you’d be such a materialistic woman, getting into bed with this idiot because he has money, disgusting."
Cao Fang was stunned seeing the Ferrari, took a while to react, then sarcastically taunted Chen Xin.
"You’re shameless!"
Chen Xin blushed with anger, her chubby friend glaring at Cao Fang furiously: "Scum! Apologize to Chen Xin!"
"Chen Xin, you don’t mind if I teach him a lesson, right?"
Xu Xiangbei extinguished the cigarette, seriously looking at Chen Xin beside him.
"Dr. Xu, ignore them, let’s go." Afraid Xu Xiangbei might suffer loss, Chen Xin pulled him, ready to leave.
"Wait, what did you say, punk? Want to teach us a lesson? You think you’re up to it, shorty?"
Cao Fang, acting like he’s heard the funniest joke, exaggeratedly opened his mouth.
His dark-skinned tall companion beside him also laughed loudly, cracking his knuckles.
"That’s right, I’m in a hurry, come at me together."
Xu Xiangbei said slowly.
"Hold on!"
Chen Xin hurriedly blocked in front of Xu Xiangbei, glaring at Cao Fang: "If you dare hit anyone, I’ll report to the school leaders and get you expelled!"
"Damn, shorty, are you just going to hide behind a woman playing coward?"
Cao Fang gritted his teeth, provoking: "If you have guts, come out, I won’t hit you, let’s compete in basketball, the loser will crawl around the basketball court without their pants, anyone who doesn’t come is a coward, dare to try?"
"Great idea, creative, I like it."
Xu Xiangbei’s eyes lit up, seemingly very interested in the bet, he strode into the basketball court.
"Dr. Xu, he’s the school basketball captain, you can’t beat him, let’s leave."
Afraid Xu Xiangbei might humiliate himself, Chen Xin tried to stop him.
However, Xu Xiangbei had already made up his mind, completely ignoring the advice.
"Brothers, stop, there’s a good show about to start."
The tall dark-skinned man shouted, and everyone’s attention on the basketball court turned to the scene.
"Some of you block the exit, I’m going to have a one-on-one with this shorty, whoever loses will crawl around the basketball court without pants!"
Cao Fang laughed loudly, seemingly confident of victory.
Upon hearing those words, several people playing on the court stopped their game and gathered to watch the show.
