Ye Chen looked curiously at the person behind him and asked, "I am Ye Chen. Who are you?"

Lv Bin said, "I am the captain of the Tsinghua University Basketball team. I really didn’t expect Jing University to bring in such a great expert like you this time. It truly makes us feel overwhelmed with reverence."

Lv Bin heavily emphasized the four characters for "overwhelmed with reverence."

In fact, many people heard that this was not flattery at all, but carried a hint of mockery.

Ye Chen simply smiled faintly, "It’s just a game. Just play seriously."

He didn’t care much about winning or losing the game; after all, Ye Chen was just there to help.

To put it less nicely, he was just there to make up the numbers.

At this moment, the audience seats were already packed with spectators.

It turned out that a student had posted the news about Ye Chen participating in the Basketball game on the campus network, attracting many of Ye Chen’s fans.

When the Tsinghua University team members saw the entire Basketball court filled with people, their pressure increased significantly.

Especially Han Qiang, he had a feeling that if he accidentally injured Ye Chen today, he probably wouldn’t be able to walk out of Jing University.

Accompanied by the referee’s whistle, the game began.

As soon as the game started, something ridiculous happened.

Han Qiang didn’t even look at the ball during the game; he just stood directly in front of Ye Chen.

As the game progressed, this guy bizarrely pulled out a pen and paper.

"Student Ye, could you sign an autograph for me?"

Ye Chen looked completely bewildered.

"Bro, can’t you see we are in the middle of a game?"

Although it was awkward, Ye Chen accepted the pen and paper and graciously signed an autograph for the other party.

The Basketball game, which should have involved five people, had now effectively become four.

Ye Chen also understood what Han Qiang’s goal was.

Clearly, the opposing side was worried about him getting hurt, so they assigned someone specifically to defend—no, rather, to protect him.

Looking at the vigorous and flowing signature Ye Chen had written, Han Qiang was ecstatic.

"Wow, not only is Top Student Ye so good at studying, but his handwriting is also so beautiful."

Han Qiang looked completely like a lickdog, his eyes filled with adoration as he looked at Ye Chen.

Being so amazing at studies and also a calligrapher is simply incredible.

After Ye Chen finished signing, he wanted to go help grab the ball, but Han Qiang pulled him back again.

Ye Chen’s face was covered in black lines.

"Big Brother, what is it this time?"

"Great Master Ye, could you sign my shirt too?"

Han Qiang noticed Ye Chen was somewhat speechless and said, "Senior Ye, I admire you so much. This jersey is incredibly commemorative for me."

After hearing this, Ye Chen reluctantly finished signing the autograph.

After finishing, Ye Chen said, "Can I go play Basketball now?"

Han Qiang stammered, "This..."

He glanced at the two teams fiercely fighting for the ball not far away.

He felt a little panicked.

What if the Great Master went to grab the ball and got injured?

His current mission was to protect Ye Chen. Wouldn’t it be great to chat with his idol like this?

Why bother fighting for the ball? It’s too dangerous.

Han Qiang wished things would stay this way until the end of the game.

Although Han Qiang thought this way, Ye Chen certainly didn’t.

After all, he was here to help. It wasn’t appropriate for him to just stand around chatting while others were risking it all on the court.

Han Qiang said, "Great Master, my mission today is to protect... no, I mean, to defend you. I am under immense pressure."

Worried that Ye Chen would go for the ball, Han Qiang could only pretend to be pitiful.

He was genuinely afraid that if Ye Chen went for the ball and got injured, what would happen then?

Ye Chen smiled, "Don’t worry. Even if I get hurt, I won’t blame you. Just treat me as a normal opponent."

He understood Han Qiang’s feelings well. It was truly difficult for the guy to defend him right now.

Ye Chen smiled slightly, "You must defend me properly. My Basketball skills are also very good. If you don’t take this seriously, you might lose."

Hearing Ye Chen say he could actually play Basketball, Han Qiang’s eyes lit up.

So his idol could play Basketball too!

Does he have to be this incredible?

Good at studying, beautiful handwriting, extremely handsome, and he can play Basketball.

Can a man really be this perfect?

"Alright, but Great Master, please be careful. My little life is literally in your hands."

Ye Chen smiled and nodded after hearing Han Qiang’s words.

If they wanted to injure him, these people weren’t capable enough.

Ye Chen then joined the game.

Although reluctant, Han Qiang followed along.

At this moment, the audience in the stands became excited.

Everyone had been puzzled seeing Ye Chen chatting on the side just now, but now that they saw him participating in the game, they all cheered.

"Ye Chen, go! Ye Chen, go!"

The court was filled with cheers for Ye Chen.

"Do you think Ye Chen can play Basketball?"

"I think it’s unlikely. A person’s energy is limited. Ye Chen studies so well, where would he find the time to practice Basketball?"

"Ye Chen is so handsome! Look at his running posture—I love it, I love it!"

...At this moment, everyone was extremely curious about Ye Chen’s actual skill level.

Of course, in reality, no one held much hope for Ye Chen.

Everyone felt that Ye Chen’s ball handling skills probably wouldn’t be very good.

Ye Chen must have spent all his time on studying; otherwise, how could he have solved Goldbachs Conjecture and become a First-Rank Mathematicians at such a young age?

People always have limits; it’s impossible to be good at everything.

The situation on the court showed a very obvious advantage for Tsinghua University.

While Ye Chen and Han Qiang were chatting, the score had already reached 6 to 12, and Jing University was now trailing by six points.

In the middle of the court, Chen Gang received the pass but was immediately blocked by a player.

All the other team members were being defended one-on-one by the opponents.

Just then, Chen Gang saw Ye Chen.

Having no choice, he could only pass the ball to Ye Chen.

"Boss, catch the ball."

Chen Gang flung his hand, and the Basketball rapidly flew toward Ye Chen.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of many students clenched.

"Holy crap, does this guy want to die? Why is he throwing it so hard?"

"Exactly! What if it hits Chenchen’s handsome face?"

"What if Ye Chen’s hand gets fractured when he catches the ball?"

In everyone’s minds, Ye Chen was the frail scholar, incapable of even tying up a chicken.

Many girls even cried out in alarm upon seeing this.

Snap!

The thing everyone feared did not happen. Ye Chen steadily caught the Basketball thrown by Chen Gang with a single hand.

Seeing Ye Chen catch the ball, Lv Bin was delighted.

Finally, his chance to show off had arrived.

Lv Bin had always wanted to defeat Ye Chen on the Basketball court, and naturally, he wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

Lv Bin quickly charged toward Ye Chen like a tank.

Seeing this, Ye Chen’s fans, who had just been startled, felt their hearts jump again.

"That guy looks like a tank! What if he crashes into Ye Chen and hurts him?"

"You’re a professional player, do you have no shame going up against an amateur player?"

Ye Chen twisted his body and immediately faked out Lv Bin.

His movement was incredibly smooth. Lv Bin didn’t even have time to react; he just saw a blur and was passed.

After Ye Chen passed Lv Bin, he immediately jumped up, preparing to shoot.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

This is too exaggerated.

They had just crossed the center line. Was Ye Chen really going to shoot from such a long distance?
