Chapter 47: You Guys Really Adore Me

Teikou's consecutive victories made people gasp, "The wolf is coming!"

"Will Teikou be a favorite to win the National Tournament this year?"

"Without a doubt, yes!"

"Many people thought that as third-year players graduated, Teikou, with only Nijimura Shuzo left as a starting player, wouldn't have strong competitiveness this year."

"I thought so too at first, but with the addition of these few geniuses, Teikou has undoubtedly received an injection of fresh blood that could intoxicate even a vampire."

"Perhaps you might think they have only played three matches, and they were all practice matches, which doesn't prove anything; other regions, including Tokyo, have also recruited many genius players this year."

"But I want to tell you, if you have seen the performance of those kids in the matches, you definitely won't question me."

"Their addition has given Teikou's bench depth an epic enhancement, which will be a huge help for the tight schedule of the National Tournament!"

This was Jiu Bao Chun's third report on Teikou.

In his mind, Teikou had already become the number one seed team to win the National Tournament this year.

Tiandao Jingyan, this genius player, was someone he couldn't put down.

Just like the NBA, star players always attract the eyes of fans, grab people's attention, and increase the ratings of league matches.

But does the NBA lack such star players?

Actually, it doesn't lack them; as long as enough shot attempts are provided and a suitable tactical system is arranged, many NBA geniuses can be fed star-level stats.

The NBA, or the entire world of basketball, lacks warriors who can defend and are willing to defend.

So he appreciated Tiandao Jingyan.

Murasakibara actually had a bright future too, but his technique was too rough and needed further improvement.

Reporters are like this, liking to sing a different tune from the fans.

It seems only this way can they show that they are professional basketball people.

However, he wasn't wrong; every championship-level team cannot do without a powerful defensive player.

The most typical example was the year the Mavericks won the championship; their lineup had a large group of defensive specialists, and they always gained more offensive possessions than their opponents, so their chances of winning were naturally higher.

Even the Warriors needed a Green!

Don't look at Green's crazy antics that make people speechless, but for the Warriors to win the championship, he really made great contributions!

"Did this reporter take your money? Everyone else is downplaying things, but he alone is full of praise for you!"

Tian Lizi looked at the news and felt that this wasn't a youth sports newspaper, but more like a private newspaper for Tiandao Jingyan.

"Do I look like a rich person to you?"

"No, if you were rich, you definitely wouldn't want to go out and work, you'd be enjoying life everywhere, and then have your body and mind rotted by this material society!"

"You know me quite well."

"I wasn't complimenting you!"

Tian Lizi glared; this guy, his skin was too thick.

"If you understood basketball, you would understand why he licks me." Tiandao Jingyan smiled and leaned back on the chair, asking, "Are you used to life here? How are you getting along with those brats?"

"What does 'getting along' mean? I find that sometimes your word choice is really weird."

"It just means interacting, what else could it be? Dating? You aren't desperate enough to prey on some teenage brats, are you?"

"You're the desperate one, don't make me sound like a loose woman."

Tian Lizi admitted that in terms of verbal sparring, she was indeed no match for Tiandao Jingyan.

She rested her pretty chin and said, "I'm very happy to be back on campus, everyone is very nice, it's just that I always feel a bit awkward."

"Is it because your mental age is that of an old hag, and you can't communicate with young females?"

"TIAN! DAO! JING! YAN!"

She exploded again, turned around, and slapped her hands hard on Tiandao Jingyan's desk.

Where is this old lady old?

I haven't even graduated from high school, okay?

At most, I'm just a big sister. You're the real old monster whose real age and appearance don't match at all!

"Don't be so loud, you'll scare the flowers and plants." Tiandao Jingyan picked his ear, "You might not be used to this society; after all, it's only 2009 here, and compared to your original world, it's still very backward."

"If you want to find common language with those brats, you can try watching the recently popular TV series and anime; that way you can find topics."

"Does this method work?" Tian Lizi was a bit tempted.

She had indeed been having no common topics with her classmates recently, leading to her not knowing how to respond in daily communication, and occasionally appearing out of place.

"If it doesn't work, you can talk about me with them."

"Talk about you for what? Who adores you?"

"That's not for sure."

Tiandao Jingyan grinned and gave the brightest smile he thought he had to the few little girls in the distance who had been whispering while looking in his direction.

As soon as this smile came out, it instantly made those little girls' heartbeats accelerate, and they were shy and embarrassed.

"Look, they adore me so much!"

"That's because they don't know the scumbag face hidden under your gorgeous exterior!"

What's wrong with these little sisters, they can't move their feet when they see a handsome guy, it's too shameful!

"Then go back and watch the show with me."

"Who wants to watch a show with you? If I have time, I'd rather watch a movie."

"You bastard, have your bones already rotted away?"

Night.

After work, in the apartment.

Tiandao Jingyan sat on the sofa, looking at the TV screen with a blank face.

Beside him was Tian Lizi, who was already crying her eyes out.

"Aya is so miserable!"

"Why does it have to be like this!"

"Sobbing~~~"

Tian Lizi's tears flowed like a fountain, while she hit the pillow and shouted injustice for the protagonist, and reached out to grab tissues to wipe her tears.

They were currently watching a TV series called *One Litre of Tears*.

Known as one of the strongest tear-jerker dramas in Japan!

The plot tells the story of a cute-looking, optimistic, and positive high school girl named Ikeuchi Aya, who bravely fights against illness so that her youth will have no regrets.

Although the plot isn't as outrageous as Korean dramas with leukemia at every turn, it still...

"Why aren't you crying?" Tian Lizi saw Tiandao Jingyan looking blank and hit him in dissatisfaction.

"It's just a TV series."

"It's adapted from a true story!"

"........."

Alright, Tiandao Jingyan didn't know how to refute that.

He had been ravaged by too many TV series of the same type in his past life, so it was hard for him to get into the story, let alone empathize.

Seeing Tian Lizi still looking at him with teary eyes, he held it in for a long time before squeezing out, "The song is very nice..."

"You cold-blooded animal! I don't want to see you!" ===== CHAPTER 49 =====
