I Don’t Want to Be Turned into a Girl by Magic

Chapter 296 : Good Shot!

Dong Juan had originally just been planning to go to the supermarket with her older brother to buy some daily necessities together.

But unexpectedly, Dong An made a detour and ran off to play basketball, so she could only sit on the sidelines waiting with little interest.

Yet while waiting, she actually ran into Chen Yao.

Now she was interested!

"Bro, I want to learn to play basketball." She stood up without hesitation and walked forward, asking Chen Yao with an embarrassed expression, "I won't be too much of a bother, right?"

"It's fine, I'll teach you if you want to learn." Chen Yao smiled and shook his head. He walked outside the three-point line and said to Dong Juan, "Watch and learn. If your form is correct, shooting isn’t as hard as you think."

He lightly jumped up on his toes, executing a standard and handsome shooting motion, but unfortunately he hadn't played basketball in several months, so the ball bounced far away after hitting the rim.

As a male, showing off his skills and physique in front of a female was practically an innate habit. He felt a bit annoyed, casually pulled off his jacket, revealing his physique in a black short-sleeved shirt.

He noticed Dong Juan's eyes were practically glowing, and immediately felt a full sense of accomplishment.

Although there wasn't much way to exercise and maintain his physique while at home, causing his muscles to flatten out considerably, fooling a young girl was still no problem.

"You're not very good at this." Dong An picked up the ball and also wanted to shoot to show off, but discovered his own sister was glaring at him, so he had no choice but to toss the ball to Dong Juan. "You be careful, I'll retrieve the ball for you. Chen Yao, you're in charge of teaching my sister."

"Me?" Chen Yao froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered Lin Nan and immediately shook his head. "No way, I..."

Just as he was speaking, Dong Juan came closer, asking in a coquettish voice, "Teacher Yao, teach me, is it like this?"

"Didn't I teach you last semester?" Chen Yao hurriedly backed up two steps. Showing off was one thing, but if he got too close, tonight his head would probably get smashed in by Lin Nan.

"But I forgot!" Dong Juan's face was full of bashful shyness. "How about you teach me hand-in-hand?"

Chen Yao froze. "...Why don't you shoot a few first so I can see."

He felt this girl was really too difficult to deal with, and moreover that voice was deliberately coquettish, and her shooting motion was all soft and weak, showing no sincerity at all.

"Pretty good, just like that."

"How can it be good even though it didn't reach…"

What else could he say? With you jumping all soft and weak like that, barely able to jump at all, it's already pretty good if the ball goes forward.

Chen Yao rolled his eyes internally. Before he could say anything more, he noticed Lin Nan had appeared beside him at some point.

"Chen Yao, I want to learn basketball too."

"I thought you didn’t care about basketball,” Chen Yao said unconsciously.

Lin Nan's face wore a smile as she said gently, "Now I'm interested."

That gentle smile made Chen Yao's eyes go straight and his heart go cold, feeling even his body hair trembling. He immediately took a quick step forward, leaving Dong Juan's side, explaining with an awkward smile, "It's nothing, I was just teaching Dong An's sister how to play basketball."

"I can see that. I saw it really well." Lin Nan maintained her smile.

Looking at how you're all playing basketball, in less than three days you'll probably forget all about me, won't you?

Lin Nan swept her eyes over Dong Juan, discovering the girl had already taken off her jacket, revealing the tight short-sleeved shirt underneath. That shirt did absolutely nothing to conceal, her magnificent and imposing chest immediately attracting the eyeballs of most people on the basketball court.

She jumped lightly while shooting. Although it was still just a complete miss, Dong An still shouted, "Good shot!"

"Right, right, right, good shot..." Lin Nan nodded subconsciously, but suddenly realized something, turned her head to see Chen Yao's strange expression, her face darkened, and without any courtesy she stomped on his toes.

"Hey, what does this have to do with me..." Chen Yao grimaced in pain. "I wasn't even looking at her!"

Lin Nan let out a light snort, then glared angrily at Dong Juan, but Dong Juan just lowered her head to glance at Lin Nan's chest, then raised her head high, looking like a victorious general returning home.

Can't compare, can't compare.

It really was a good shot.

Lin Nan looked down at her own completely flat chest and sighed deeply. If there was no comparison it would still be acceptable, but after comparing with Dong Juan, she discovered that indeed in this world there was no harm without comparison.

"I'm going back." She turned to leave.

"Wait for me." Chen Yao ran to grab his jacket and was about to follow Lin Nan, but Lin Nan had already disappeared into the crowd without a trace.

He furrowed his brow in distress and sighed deeply. "What's there to be jealous about..."

"Why do I feel like your relationship with him is a bit unusual?" Dong An walked to his side, his expression somewhat strange. "You two aren't gay, are you?"

"None of your damn business." He put on his jacket and lowered his head to send Lin Nan a message.

"Whoa, no way?!" Dong An froze. "Brother, that kind of thing isn't good to joke about."

"It's not like you're the one being gay." Chen Yao couldn't be bothered with him. He lifted his foot to leave, but then stopped, frowning as he reminded him, "Next time don't bring your sister along. It's giving me a splitting headache, annoying as hell."

"Alright."

On the other side, Lin Nan arrived outside the basketball court but suddenly noticed quite a few people gathered in a crowd shouting about something. Walking closer to look, she discovered it was the street dance club recruiting new members. Three students from the street dance club were showing off their dance skills in the crowd.

This was much more attractive to Lin Nan than basketball.

She temporarily forgot her earlier unhappiness and stood on her tiptoes trying to look inside, but she was too short. Unless she jumped up, she basically couldn't see clearly what was happening inside.

I should get a magic spell to make myself taller!

She thought to herself, but didn't want to squeeze inside, so she could only anxiously stand on the outside on her tiptoes, trying to see the situation inside.

"I've been looking for you forever." Chen Yao suddenly patted Lin Nan's shoulder, saying with a bitter smile, "I figured you'd be here watching the excitement."

"I can't see..." Lin Nan turned around, looking distressed. "And I don't want to squeeze in."

Chen Yao pulled Lin Nan's hand over to a nearby flower bed. "Stand up here."

"Why?" Lin Nan stood on the flower bed somewhat confused, standing on her tiptoes to look toward the crowd, but still couldn't see anything.

However, when she lowered her head, she saw Chen Yao had already crouched down.

"Sit on my shoulders."

"Won't I crush you flat?" Lin Nan muttered her refusal. "Besides, how embarrassing. That's something only kids do."

"Then how about I carry you on my back?" Chen Yao looked up at Lin Nan.

Lin Nan still refused, her face somewhat flushed. "Can you not do such attention-grabbing things? Don't you think it's embarrassing?! Others will think you're an idiot."

"I'm thick-skinned." Chen Yao looked completely unconcerned. "I lose a little face, you get to see clearly, no big deal. Besides, except for those people from our class, who here knows me? Embarrassing is embarrassing, whatever."

"Weirdo..."

She jumped down from the flower bed. Her heartbeat had somehow sped up considerably. She grabbed Chen Yao's hand and pulled him along. "Let's go home and play on the computer! I'm not watching anymore."

"If only your face could be a bit thicker, that would be so much better."

"What use is being thick-skinned?"

"You could do lots of new things, like jungling..."

"Holy shit, don't stomp on me! I meant camping! Camping in the wilderness!"
