End?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Linlin, fuming with anger, had a casual meal with Ye Chenfeng and then took him to the gymnasium of Tianhai Medical University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Zou Linlin briefly introduced Wang Ming, the basketball team coach, to Ye Chenfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ming was quite skilled during his college days, and it was rumored that he caught the attention of professional basketball team coaches several times who wanted to recruit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wang Ming, the son of a certain department head in Tianhai, how could he be willing to become a mere basketball player?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ming had been involved with basketball since he was a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his goal in playing basketball was very clear, which was to attract the attention of the opposite sex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, this guy played basketball just to pick up girls—a total poser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zou Linlin arrived at the Tianhai Medical University gymnasium with Ye Chenfeng, the place was filled with men and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Ye Chenfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make Ye Chenfeng lose face, Wang Ming deliberately tarnished his image by saying that an overconfident man wanted to challenge him in basketball and that Ye Chenfeng had taken a liking to Zou Linlin and wanted to pursue her as his girlfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, a swarm of Tianhai Medical University students flocked to the gym, because Wang Ming, the basketball coach, was quite handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, many people knew that his father was the head of a department in Tianhai, and many female students would often cast admiring glances his way at the gym, and some were even willing to offer their bodies to Wang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his time as a coach at Tianhai Medical University, he had already pressed quite a few female students under him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zou Linlin was recognized by all students of Tianhai Medical University as the most beautiful teacher, the goddess in the eyes of all male students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that someone was pursuing their goddess and challenging the basketball coach, they immediately took an interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all wanted to see who dares to pursue their goddess—is he some kind of a deity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>College life is always filled with boredom, and moreover, these students were studying medicine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They usually dealt with the tedium of medical science, and occasionally even had to learn dissection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they heard about such an interesting event about to take place at the gymnasium of Tianhai Medical University, they had every reason to join in the fun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Huaxia Country, joining in the hubbub almost became a “fine” national tradition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever something happened, there would always be people very interested in watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more outrageous is that in the event of a road accident, spectators would surround the scene, but not a single person would call the police or dial 120.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people truly took the thrill of joining in the hubbub to an extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When all the female students in the gymnasium saw Ye Chenfeng standing beside Zou Linlin, they began to discuss among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s kind of handsome, but you can tell he’s from humble origins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks alone don’t cut it these days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s Wang Ming, the basketball team’s coach, who’s the real catch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s handsome, wealthy, and looks so cool when playing basketball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s the epitome of a perfect boyfriend in our eyes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t say that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he has the courage to challenge Wang Ming, we should encourage him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his build, I guess he’ll probably be knocked flying as soon as he steps onto the basketball court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s commendable courage, truly commendable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, for one, want to thank this commoner!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without him, how could we have the chance to see Wang Ming’s basketball prowess again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the coach of the basketball team, he barely touches the ball these days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the male students in the gymnasium felt their hearts shatter upon seeing Zou Linlin and Ye Chenfeng enter together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, only they deserved Zou Linlin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else was nothing but cow dung, dog shit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A male student with thick glasses and a physique as round as a pig indignantly said, “How does this kid have the nerve to stand next to Teacher Zou?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just look at his scrawny figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only I am the perfect match for Teacher Zou!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another student, face riddled with acne, quickly chimed in, “How could Teacher Zou fall for someone like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he more charming and dashing than me, more wise and brave, more…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The acne-faced boy was in agonizing pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the porcine-statured student next to him, he was as thin as a bamboo pole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brother must have spent his days furiously in his dorm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the basketball court, Wang Ming, seeing Ye Chenfeng and Zou Linlin, strutted over with his chest puffed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following close by were two students dressed in the basketball team’s uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed they must be players from the basketball team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I suddenly feel that just the two of us playing basketball isn’t very interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I’ve decided to have a real match against you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, I know you’re all alone, so don’t worry, I’ve picked four other players for you as assistants,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ming pointed to the four male students in basketball uniforms behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of these male students was the cream of the crop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without exception, they all wore glasses, and judging by the thickness of their lenses, one could guess their prescriptions were at least 800 degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but all four looked lethargic as if they had just gone through a vigorous night, making these students essentially just decorations on the basketball court when paired with Ye Chenfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was another brilliant strategy conceived by Wang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After experiencing Ye Chenfeng’s grip strength and the harsh words Ye Chenfeng had seared into his memory, he couldn’t help but become extra cautious around Ye Chenfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, with so many people watching their basketball showdown today, how could he possibly lose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to be absolutely sure of defeating Ye Chenfeng, to make Ye Chenfeng lose face, and to show Zou Linlin who the real man was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Ming, you’re so despicable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having these four as Chenfeng’s teammates is basically forcing Chenfeng to fight you alone,” Zou Linlin furiously exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ming frowned and turned his gaze to Ye Chenfeng, “What’s it going to be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, weren’t you the one who said you would leave me traumatized by basketball?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you chickening out now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a man, you shouldn’t always have a woman fight your battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Make up your mind quickly, will you play or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Coach Wang, I think he’s probably looking to turtle up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone like him doesn’t even deserve to compete with me,” said a basketball player standing beside Wang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coach Wang, don’t waste your time on this guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve got a game next week, and we need to focus on that instead,” another player next to Wang Ming chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Wang Ming and his group who resembled clowns performing on a stage, Ye Chenfeng casually said, “What a lot of nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I alone am enough to beat you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no need to arrange any teammates for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chenfeng’s voice was not loud, but many of the male and female university students who had come to watch the match heard him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, his arrogantly brash statement spread throughout the gymnasium, causing an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wants to take on our school’s team alone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he out of his mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s showing off, and then there’s this ridiculousness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think he’s escaped from a mental institution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even an NBA professional would dare to say they could beat our entire school team alone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll be waiting to watch him make a fool of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare such a person think he’s worthy of our goddess?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male students began to belittle Ye Chenfeng again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, Ye Chenfeng was nothing but a blowhard, and his bluff would soon be called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female students were all supportive of Wang Ming, the affluent and good-looking coach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t been too critical of Ye Chenfeng just moments ago, but now, after his boastful statement, they too couldn’t hold back any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who does he think he is?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jordan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>McGrady?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to beat our school’s basketball team all by himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s just digging his own grave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re absolutely right, if he really goes on the court alone, I’m sure he won’t make a single basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought he was some handsome, grassroots hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out he’s just a handsome nutcase—such a waste of a good-looking face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are too many delusional people in this world, not weighing their own abilities, foolishly trying to act important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In choosing a boyfriend in the future, you definitely can’t pick this kind of pretentious guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s bound to end up embarrassing himself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…(To be
