Chapter 931: Playing Around
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: AtlasStudios
Ai Xiaolu’s clothes today were clearly influenced by Wang Zheng. From head to toe, there was not a single dazzling object. Everything was ordinary, and that made her easier to become close to today. This was the ultimate peer influence.
As for Luo Er, an ordinary tracksuit could not hide her eye-catching, petite figure. Combined with that light voice, it was a classic frail girl. One look, and you wanted to catch her for a lifetime. Truly a model example of the “Loli Star.”
Of course, they were even more enthusiastic, because Elite Academy X!
Although everyone had heard of Inner Roland and Elite Academy X, to actually come in contact was rare.
This get-together was relaxed, and their numbers grew. Many invited people had come, even many that Zhuxi and the rest did not know. The goal of the gathering was to make some new friends, and provide an equal platform for youngsters to mingle.
Activities quickly got underway. A barbeque started on the riverbank. A large wagon drove up, serving all kinds of beverages.
Many had linked up to play some small resistance games. Some played cards, or chess. No one was forced into any activity – it was completely based on your interests. Those that liked sports could go to the ball courts on the side. It did not matter if you did not know anybody – you could bond through the game.
Wang Zheng and the rest naturally chose sports. They wanted to play tennis, but it was packed with hobbyists. Many teams were queueing for their turn to enter the courts. In truth, Elite Academy X was a special school, and the other college students were happy and enjoying the company. University was the best time for romance. Studies was just one part of it, but Elite Academy X students did not have much free time, and seemed pitiful.
“How about basketball? The turnover is fast – three baskets and you’re out. We can get cycled in very fast.”
Luo Er suggested. Everyone’s eyes went wide. If you looked at height, Luo Er was digging her own grave.
But in the end they went. The rules were half-court, 3v3.
They were all youngsters. Just a shout of greeting, and they had acceptance to enter.
Three baskets indeed passed quickly. Before too long, Wang Zheng and the rest were up.
Just as Ai Xiaolu was about to go on with Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan, Luo Er was standing in the way.
“Hold up. My suggestion, I get to go first.”
“But...” The opponents were all 1.9m louts.
“I want to prove that Gemini Star people can also play basketball.” Luo Er was adamant.
“Waow! Two babes on court!”
With babes, the atmosphere at the basketball court was a little rowdy, although the catcalls were good-natured and appreciative.
In the end, Zhang Shan caved in to heavy pressure and relinquished his first spot. He accompanied Er Yu and Zhuxi to the stands.
Their opponents were a little hesitant. Watching babes play ball was a blessed thing, but with them as your opponents, it was a completely different feeling.
“You can start.”
The ball was given to Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng smiled, and passed the ball to Ai Xiaolu. Ai Xiaolu was a fighting type. As for fighting type people, a sport like basketball was nothing at all. But Luo Er was indeed an outsider.
For the opponent to be able to hold their position, they were clearly good at basketball, especially with the advantage of height. The most agile one darted towards Ai Xiaolu. They were playing it pretty serious.
It was just play. Ai Xiaolu would not take it so seriously. She passed it to Luo Er.
The big guy guarding Luo Er smiled, and stretched out his long limbs, pressuring forward like a wolf stalking a rabbit.
Luo Er took the shot without hesitation!
But the basketball was not flying towards the rim, but towards the big guy’s face!
Ping...
The big guy’s reaction was quick. With a duck, he dodged the attack... Wait, why was it an attack, wasn’t this basketball?
Looking back, he saw Wang Zheng take the errant ball, and with an accurate shot, sink the basket.
“Why did you not press?”
“I... was distracted.” The guy assigned to mark Wang Zheng scratched his head. He did follow, but suddenly the opponent had eluded him.
“Wang Zheng, my pass was sweet, right?” Luo Er smiled happily.
Wang Zheng was sweating. That was a pass?
Very quickly, they finished off their opponents. Another team came, and Wang Zheng slowed down the pace, playing less seriously. They had to give others a chance. Very quickly, the opponents scored three points, sending Wang Zheng and his team out.
Luo Er frowned. She took a basketball on the side to practice dribbling. The moment Wang Zheng took it easy, she became an easy mark. The moment she was pressed, she could not dribble past.
But even when no one was marking her...
Pa, pa, pa, the ball flew fast and high.
Zhang Shan rubbed his forehead. They should have gone to the baseball field to play with the serving machine. Within Luo Er’s diminutive frame was an energetic monster.
“Ah! Who! Who threw that ball!?”
With a pitiful cry, Luo Er’s flying pass had hit someone far away.
It hit the person square in the chest, on a snow-white shirt, leaving a huge ball print!
In an instant, the basketball court was silent.
The handsome guy rushed over angrily. He had come here to show off and find some pleasure. Who would have thought that the moment he arrived, he would be hit by a basketball? His pristine clothes were now ruined, and his ego shattered. And it hurt!
Wang Zheng immediately went over. “Brother, we’re so sorry. My friend is just starting to learn basketball, and the hand slipped. I’m so sorry.”
Luo Er immediately went over as well. Their dashing white clothes were indeed dirtied. “Sorry, I’m so sorry.”
“Sorry? Is there a use for that? What can you do to make reparations? Let me tell you, nothing. All you can do is make me angrier. If sorry had a use, why would we even need the police? A shorty like you playing basketball? I’m not belittling you, but let’s just see how you feel after I smash you...”
Wang Zheng was stirred now. A flash of anger passed his eyes, and he smiled. “Brother, what do you want?”
Wei Yangcheng wanted to continue scolding, when he suddenly noticed Luo Er more clearly. Suddenly, he smiled. “Forget it, it’s fine. To be hit by a babe, that’s just a sign of affection and love right? Haha.”
Wang Zheng was bemused as well. He could not be bothered to settle the score. This was probably some rich playboy, here to flirt with the girls.
After the commotion, the interest in basketball died. They returned to the riverbank, and found a place to eat and soak up the sun.
“Who was that just now? With that arrogant attitude?” Luo Er asked curiously.
“Wei Yangcheng. Velo Group’s heir. The family business is huge, and full of influence on Roland Garros, and even within the Milky Way. Very influential. Lucky that incident didn’t blow up just now.”
Zhuxi said, wiping the sweat off her brow. “That guy is a classic playboy. Did you see those in the car who did not come out? Lawyers and bodyguards.”
“Tch, is that scum here for the sports or to show off? He’s asking to be beaten up.”
Luo Er and Ai Xiaolu both did not know whether to laugh or cry. Very famous? Neither had heard of him before, but given their status, neither was in the habit of showing off.
