Chapter 352: The Final Blow

Boom!

The scene erupted in cheers instantly; Wu Yue'er cupped her hands around her mouth to amplify her voice and shouted crisply, "Shen Yan, you're the most handsome! I love you!"

Others were not to be outdone, shouting loudly, "Male god, I love you!"

Infected by the atmosphere at the scene, Luo Qiqi also joined in the shouting: "Shen Yan, you are the most handsome!"

Beside her, Yu Youwei had a complicated expression and couldn't help but ask, "Qiqi, you wouldn't happen to have fallen for Shen Yan, would you?"

"No way, I'm just cheering for our classmates," Luo Qiqi denied it flatly.

As for what she was thinking in her heart, only she herself knew.

Hearing this, Yu Youwei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness! Thank goodness! At the very least, the last remaining sister hadn't fallen.

Things having reached this point, she finally saw it clearly: Chen Shanni and Wu Yue'er were both deeply in love with Shen Yan, but for some reason, Shen Yan had not responded to these two affections.

Sigh! The charm of this childhood friend was truly hard to resist.

On the field, Shen Yan high-fived his teammates to celebrate, and the string that had been taut in the hearts of the opposing players snapped as a result.

With the match having progressed to this point, everyone was already exhausted, and it would be fine if it just ended like this.

Just then, Zheng Baiqiang stood out and encouraged everyone, saying, "There are still twenty minutes left; pass the ball to the front court, and we still have hope for victory."

The others nodded wearily; they didn't want to struggle anymore anyway, so if Zheng Baiqiang wanted to give it a shot, let him.

The match continued.

Both sides began to fight again, but the intensity was far less fierce than before.

Suddenly, during a chase on the edge of the field, Zhu Baoping intended to kick toward the center of the field, but his foot went soft, and the ball lost its aim and flew off the field.

"Bang!"

Neither too far nor too near, the ball hit Chen Shanni's pretty face squarely, and she fell to the ground at the sound.

It gave everyone a fright.

Shen Yan hurried over to check the situation; he helped Chen Shanni up and saw a bright red ball mark printed on her right cheek, stained with various smudges.

Her appearance was truly not very elegant.

"Shanni, are you okay?" Shen Yan asked with concern.

Chen Shanni rubbed her face and said pitifully, "It hurts!"

Fortunately, since the players on both sides were already exhausted, Zhu Baoping's kick had almost no force behind it.

Shen Yan couldn't help but chuckle, which made Chen Shanni somewhat angry; she was the one injured, yet he was there gloating—was this what a boyfriend was supposed to do?

Right then, she ignored the pain and gave Shen Yan's shoulder a playful slap, pouting, "What are you laughing at? Are you happy that I'm hurt?"

"Sorry!"

Shen Yan quickly restrained his smile and raised his hand to wipe the stains off her face.

"Ooh!"

Seeing this scene, everyone present started jeering again, with Lin Yang's voice being the loudest: "Old Shen, you can't just touch a girl's face like that."

Zhu Baoping apologized to Chen Shanni while wearing an ambiguous expression: "Old Shen, you wouldn't happen to be seeing the little rich girl, would you?"

Tang Song chuckled: "Old Shen, if there's something going on, just say it; what's the point of hiding it?"

Hearing these words, Chen Shanni's pretty face turned as red as a volcano instantly, her head almost drooping to her chest; Shen Yan glanced at Wu Yue'er and waved his hand to signal: "Stop the jeering, I'll notify you if there's really something going on."

The others continued to chuckle; seeing the two of them acting so affectionate, they figured it was only a matter of time before they made it official, and they might even confirm their relationship after the match ended.

Tsk tsk! After all that, these two had actually become a pair.

It truly caught them off guard.

Lin Yang was secretly pleased; this way, no one would ever be able to covet his goddess again.

Yu Youwei subconsciously looked at Wu Yue'er, only to see that her expression was calm, completely devoid of any sadness or indignation, which left her utterly bewildered.

The situation was truly too bizarre!

Why was she reacting this way?

What exactly had the three of them gone through to lead to this current situation?

At the referee's whistle, the match continued.

Possession to the white team.

After getting the ball, Sun Dawei sent it into the backfield with a long kick.

Because the defense had lost Shen Yan, and with the coordination of his teammates, Zheng Baiqiang moved as if there were no one else on the field.

He neatly and cleanly sent the ball into the goal.

The score was tied 1:1.

Now the white team's fighting spirit soared again, and the scene became intense once more.

A football match is a team sport after all; no matter how outstanding an individual's ability is, it's useless without an opportunity. Time ticked away, and with one minute left in the match, the situation remained deadlocked.

Finally, during a scramble, an opposing player accidentally kicked the ball out of the end line.

And Tang Song stood once again at the left corner of the goal.

Preparing to kick!

This scene was so similar that the audience couldn't help but jeer again.

They hoped Shen Yan could repeat the scene and give everyone a good laugh.

However, having learned his lesson, how could Shen Yan make the same mistake again?

After Tang Song kicked the ball, in the blink of an eye, he had accurately judged the ball's landing spot; after comprehensive consideration, he moved two steps to the front-left, and then his whole body soared into the air.

And he was upside down.

Anyone familiar with football knows this move is called a Bicycle Kick.

Although the opposing players reacted quickly, they were ultimately a beat slower than Shen Yan; he flicked his right foot and kicked the ball at an incredible angle.

The goalkeeper lunged fiercely toward the top left corner of the goal.

Unfortunately, his arms were not long enough.

"Swish!" The ball hit the net in response.

Boom!

Such a brilliant goal once again sent the crowd into a frenzy; regardless of gender or affiliation, everyone was shouting, "Brother Rice Noodle is awesome!" and "You're the best, my idol!"

Even someone as reserved as Chen Shanni was stirred with excitement; she grabbed Wu Yue'er and cheered without regard for her image: "Shen Yan, you're the most handsome, I love you!"

With thirty seconds left in the game, it had already become a game-winning goal.

The moment the whistle blew, all the Red Team players pounced on Shen Yan, piling on top of him like a human pyramid.

"Holy crap! I'm going to die!"

"Get off me, all of you!"

Shen Yan only felt a thick wave of sweat-stink wash over him, making him feel nauseous; he lay on the ground howling, but no one paid him any mind, as everyone was busy celebrating the joy of victory.

This made Chen Shanni and Wu Yue'er feel terribly sorry for him.

The two women hurried forward and dispersed the crowd.

The team members chuckled, their envy growing wildly like weeds.

With such beauties, they would be willing to break their own ribs to make soup for them, yet Shen Yan was surrounded by two.

Comparing people to others really makes one angry!

At this moment, Zheng Baiqiang walked over with weary steps and gave Shen Yan a thumbs-up: "Shen Yan, you are unrivaled in your studies, and you're top-notch at soccer too. How about it, interested in joining the school team? I can recommend you to the coach."

Shen Yan waved his hand: "Forget it, I was just playing around."

Zheng Baiqiang hadn't held much hope for this anyway, so he smiled and turned to leave.

After the game ended, the little fan girls on the sidelines could no longer contain themselves and crowded around, chattering away; some praised Shen Yan's soccer skills, saying the national team depended on him to be saved; some praised how handsome Shen Yan was, comparable to Daniel Wu; others expressed their love on the spot, their eyes sparkling with stars.

Shen Yan responded with a smile and, after casually dealing with them for a few sentences, made an excuse: "Sorry, I'm covered in sweat and need to go back to take a shower."

Having said that, he left the sports field with Chen Shanni and Wu Yue'er.
