Chapter 238 - 244: Star Player
Hearing Su Xiaonuan’s considerate words, Ye Chen felt a little embarrassed.
"Thank you."
Ye Chen smiled, then pulled Chen Gang and turned to walk towards the Jingda Basketball Team.
The captain of the Jingda Basketball Team’s eyes lit up when he saw Ye Chen, and he immediately came over to greet him.
This was Ye Chen.
Jingda’s star.
Normally, it was hard to even see Ye Chen, but today Ye Chen was actually playing Basketball with them. This was simply too incredible.
When Chen Gang said he was going to invite Ye Chen to play Basketball, the Basketball team members were all very excited.
After all, many of them regarded Ye Chen as an idol.
How could they not be excited when their idol was playing Basketball with them?
The Jingda team members weren’t even thinking about whether they could win the Basketball game.
They were more enjoying the feeling of playing Basketball with Ye Chen.
Later, when they told others that Ye Chen was their teammate, they could definitely brag about it.
"Classmate Ye Chen, thank you so much for coming to help out. I’m Zhang Hao, the captain of the Basketball team."
Zhang Hao enthusiastically shook Ye Chen’s hand.
Ye Chen felt a little uncomfortable with Zhang Hao’s enthusiastic attitude.
If it were a girl, Ye Chen would be happy to accept.
But Zhang Hao’s fervent gaze really made Ye Chen uncomfortable.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I’m also a student at Jingda, so helping each other is only natural."
"Haha, see, I told you I could get our boss to come!" Chen Gang said with a proud look.
The other team members were all envious of Chen Gang.
It was too lucky to have such an awesome roommate boss.
Many people thought that Ye Chen, being so popular, would definitely be very arrogant.
But to everyone’s comfort, Ye Chen was very low-key and didn’t have that condescending feeling at all.
The Jingda team members admired Ye Chen even more.
The Jingda team was very happy, but the Tsinghua University team on the other side was depressed.
Ye Chen’s fame wasn’t just in Jingda; even at Tsinghua University, Ye Chen’s popularity was explosive.
At this moment, the Tsinghua University team members all looked dejected.
How were they supposed to play?
The opponent was Ye Chen!
The youngest first-tier Mathematicians, about to represent the national team in the Mathematical Olympiad competition.
If he got injured, who could bear the responsibility?
Many of the Tsinghua University team members regarded Ye Chen as an idol.
They simply couldn’t bring themselves to collide with their idol.
The Tsinghua University team members all looked troubled.
Su Xiaonuan walked over to the group.
Su Xiaonuan was now the treasure of the Basketball team; everyone really liked this beautiful and kind girl.
"Everyone, can I ask you for a favor?"
Su Xiaonuan said, bowing to the Basketball team members.
Seeing Su Xiaonuan like this, the Basketball team members were all stunned.
"Xiaonuan, don’t be like that. Just tell us what it is," Captain Lv Bin said.
"Exactly, Xiaonuan, we have no problem doing anything you ask, even if it means going through fire and water."
"Yeah, why are you being so polite with us?"
Several Basketball team members expressed their loyalty.
Su Xiaonuan said, "I hope everyone will be careful during the Basketball game later and not injure Ye Chen."
Hearing Su Xiaonuan’s words, the pressure on the team members increased.
How were they supposed to play this game?
Captain Lv Bin said, "Xiaonuan, we’ll try our best to be careful."
Xiaonuan shook her head, "Not just try, it must be foolproof."
Lv Bin’s expression turned a little grim upon hearing this.
Actually, Lv Bin had always liked Su Xiaonuan very much. He was already jealous watching Su Xiaonuan and Ye Chen chatting intimately just now.
Now that Su Xiaonuan had personally come to plead for Ye Chen, he felt even more displeased.
Originally, Lv Bin was very happy that Su Xiaonuan was coming to play the game with Tsinghua University today.
He even wanted to perform well to win the goddess’s heart.
Lv Bin didn’t expect Jingda to be so despicable, bringing out the national treasure Ye Chen.
How were they supposed to play?
The other team members also looked troubled upon hearing Su Xiaonuan’s words.
"Captain, how are we going to play this game?" a team member asked.
Lv Bin glared at that team member, "Xiaonuan already said it; of course, we have to be careful not to let Ye Chen get injured."
In fact, everyone understood.
If they really injured Ye Chen, with so many fans at Jingda, it would be difficult for them to leave Jingda.
But collisions are unavoidable in a Basketball game.
Lv Bin was actually very unconvinced about Ye Chen in his heart.
Why should Tsinghua University’s goddess speak up for him?
This made Lv Bin even more hostile towards Ye Chen.
He said somewhat petulantly, "I think, why don’t we just forfeit this game directly? Wouldn’t that be enough?"
The other team members were stunned when they heard Lv Bin’s words.
Jingda and Tsinghua University were sister schools, and there was a lot of exchange between the two schools.
To forfeit directly before the game even started, that would be too shameful.
Su Xiaonuan was also taken aback by Lv Bin’s angry words.
However, she suddenly thought this method wasn’t bad.
If Tsinghua University forfeited, then the possibility of Ye Chen getting injured would be zero.
However, Lv Bin was actually just saying it out of anger.
If they really forfeited, Tsinghua University would lose without fighting, and they couldn’t afford to lose face.
Su Xiaonuan said, "Of course we can’t forfeit. You just need to be careful and absolutely not injure Ye Chen."
Hearing Su Xiaonuan’s words, Lv Bin nodded.
"Alright, we’ll do as Xiaonuan says."
Saying that, Lv Bin said to the other team members, "Now that Jingda has Ye Chen, he’s basically just there for show. If we can’t win five against four, then we really have no face to go back to Tsinghua University."
In their eyes, Top Students were all weaklings.
Ye Chen was also labeled as a weakling by several people.
You’re good at studying, but you can’t possibly be awesome at Basketball too, right?
Lv Bin said to a male student, "Han Qiang, you just need to guard Ye Chen. You don’t need to worry about the others; we’ve got them."
"Also, you must be careful not to injure Ye Chen."
Han Qiang’s face changed when he heard that he was to guard Ye Chen.
Guarding Ye Chen could be said to be the most thankless task.
Once Ye Chen was injured, he would be the culprit.
The other team members also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the captain assign Han Qiang to Ye Chen.
Guarding Ye Chen was truly a thankless task, so no one was willing to do it.
As long as they didn’t guard Ye Chen, they wouldn’t have to worry about injuring him and could focus on the game.
Although Han Qiang was a bit depressed, since Lv Bin was the captain, he could only obey.
Actually, Han Qiang was also a fan of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen’s performance in the International Mathematical Association assessment was too domineering, which thrilled Han Qiang.
Han Qiang was now a die-hard fan of Ye Chen.
He never dreamed that the first time he met his idol, they would be opponents in a competition.
Before the game started, Lv Bin walked up to Ye Chen.
"You must be Ye Chen. I’ve heard your name so much it’s practically worn out, and today I finally get to see you in person."
Ye Chen was warming up with his teammates when a hostile voice suddenly came from behind him.
