Chapter 414 - 160: Nanaz and the Underclassman’s Meeting_5
"..."
In 2001, the rough picture quality of CCAV didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the fans at all.
There’s a saying: the worse the picture quality, the stronger the national soccer team.
As long as the national team can qualify for the World Cup, even watching on a small black-and-white TV would thrill the fans.
After this goal, no one else could make any achievements.
No one hoped for a big victory; they all had the same thought in mind - they had to hold onto this point!
As time ticked by,
the match was nearing its end. Watching the players move back and forth on the TV screen, the fans kept their eyes glued, holding their breath.
They were so nervous that their palms were sweaty.
It seemed like the situation was under control, but the national team was notorious for flopping at the last minute, known for the infamous "black few minutes."
Fortunately, this time the national team didn’t flop.
They fought tenaciously to the end, desperately holding onto the score.
This national team didn’t dodge shots or complain about eating seafood every day during post-defeat interviews; they still had some spirit and grit.
As the referee blew the final whistle, the score locked at one to zero. Haiji Diner, the entire food street, the whole city, and even the entire country erupted instantly.
Yu Genwei’s one goal decided the game, securing the victory with the only crucial goal of the match.
After this match, the national team secured first place in Group B of the top ten competition with five wins and one draw, advancing early to the finals of the Korea-Japan World Cup.
Frantic roars echoed into the night sky, like a tsunami mixed with the strange sound of shattering beer bottles.
Some fans expressed their excitement in extreme ways.
Some burst into laughter.
Some cried uncontrollably.
Some hugged each other tightly.
Some picked up a beer and drank it straight from the bottle.
...
The fans let loose and enjoyed this precious moment that belonged to countless people in Xia Country.
"Damn, we finally qualified!"
"Damn, the national team finally stood tall for once!"
"Long live Xia Country, the national team is mighty, Mi Lu is awesome!"
"..."
Everyone in 302 was also thrilled; even the young man who always criticized Coach Mi Lu had become an ardent supporter.
Whether it’s a white cat or a black cat, the cat that catches mice is a good cat!
Whatever the coach, the one who leads the national team to qualify is a great person!
The coaches and players on the field were already hugging each other tightly.
Meanwhile, CCAV popped up a few flashy red words as special effects.
"We made it!"
Having already known the outcome, Su Zelin was still overwhelmed when reliving this moment.
He raised the Thousand Island Lake beer in his hand: "Come on, everyone, drink up; it hasn’t been easy, waiting for so long!"
Everyone responded enthusiastically; even Luo Xi and Popcorn, who usually didn’t drink, picked up a beer and joined.
Although they didn’t understand why guys were so obsessed with this game that just went back and forth for ninety minutes and only scored once, they were still infected by the feverish celebratory atmosphere and, for a moment, felt the charm of the world’s biggest sport.
"I meant the guys, not the girls!"
Su Zelin quickly added.
"Haha, I’m just happy, even if the class leader doesn’t let me drink, I’d still drink tonight!"
Ding Linna held up her beer and quickly finished it off, leaving everyone else awestruck.
Indeed, Qilu’s tough girl, truly formidable!
Sister Die was not to be outdone and downed a beer too, trying to show her big sister charisma.
Huang Panpan also wanted to follow suit, but Su Zelin snatched the beer from her hand.
The junior girl wasn’t of age yet, so she could only drink a little.
Luo Xi and Popcorn just took a little sip; they couldn’t handle much alcohol, and usually only drank a bit when dining with 302.
They stayed at the diner for another half hour before everyone left.
Zeng Kaiping said he’d take Sister Die home, but the other guys knew not to wait up for him tonight.
On the way back to the dormitory, they found people parading on the street and campus.
This was likely to be a sleepless night, so much so that their tutor might come to class the next day with panda eyes, or even cancel classes altogether.
At the fork leading to the male and female dorms, they parted ways.
Huang Panpan was on the same path as Luo Xi and the others, so they walked together.
They chatted and laughed all the way to the entrance of the girls’ dormitory.
"Nanaz, can we talk for a moment?"
Huang Panpan suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Of course!" Ding Linna said to her roommates, "Ah Xi, Popcorn, you go on ahead!"
"Alright, we won’t wait for you then!"
After Luo Xi and Popcorn left.
"Nanaz, do you like Senior Brother?"
The junior girl directly threw out a prickly question, leaving Nanaz dumbfounded.
How am I supposed to answer this?
She felt a bit awkward, pondering how to reply.
Is this a challenge?
I can’t appear weak.
After all, the class leader hasn’t even admitted that you are his girlfriend, just a junior sister!
"Someone like the class leader, it’s normal for any girl to like him!"
Though Nanaz only tactfully acknowledged it, her attitude was one of confrontation.
She was confident and not afraid to compete with Huang Panpan.
"Haha, I understand, but it doesn’t matter, Nanaz, you’re not my enemy, I only have one enemy!"
Huang Panpan’s gaze drifted somewhere, in the darkness, as if there was an insurmountable mountain ahead, invoking awe.
In comparison, the fiery senior sister in front of her was at best a small peak.
Such a small peak, there must be many like her around the senior brother, perhaps even Assistant Class Leader Luo Xi is one.
I can’t stop every girl from interacting with Senior Brother, but I must overcome that massive mountain, to view all the lesser hills from above!
The junior girl secretly set herself a flag.
She smiled slightly at Ding Linna: "Nanaz, I hope we can get along well, goodbye!"
Leaving behind a few cryptic words, she left.
And Ding Linna remained standing at the entrance of the girls’ dormitory, puzzled.
She originally thought the junior would be more confrontational.
Even though Huang Panpan appeared cute and obedient, Nanaz could tell that this girl had a stubborn personality.
Chasing from high school to finance academy was the best evidence.
Unexpectedly, the other side seemed indifferent.
She only has one enemy?
What does that mean?
...
