The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 280: Seeking a Dead End?

Zou Linlin, fuming with anger, had a casual meal with Ye Chenfeng and then took him to the gymnasium of Tianhai Medical University. Along the way, Zou Linlin briefly introduced Wang Ming, the basketball team coach, to Ye Chenfeng.

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. But Wang Ming, the son of a certain department head in Tianhai, how could he be willing to become a mere basketball player?

Wang Ming had been involved with basketball since he was a child. However, his goal in playing basketball was very clear, which was to attract the attention of the opposite sex. To put it bluntly, this guy played basketball just to pick up girls—a total poser.

When Zou Linlin arrived at the Tianhai Medical University gymnasium with Ye Chenfeng, the place was filled with men and women. In an instant, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Ye Chenfeng.

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.

Consequently, a swarm of Tianhai Medical University students flocked to the gym, because Wang Ming, the basketball coach, was quite handsome. 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. During his time as a coach at Tianhai Medical University, he had already pressed quite a few female students under him.

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. Hearing that someone was pursuing their goddess and challenging the basketball coach, they immediately took an interest. They all wanted to see who dares to pursue their goddess—is he some kind of a deity?

College life is always filled with boredom, and moreover, these students were studying medicine! They usually dealt with the tedium of medical science, and occasionally even had to learn dissection. 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!

In Huaxia Country, joining in the hubbub almost became a "fine" national tradition. Whenever something happened, there would always be people very interested in watching. 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. These people truly took the thrill of joining in the hubbub to an extreme.

When all the female students in the gymnasium saw Ye Chenfeng standing beside Zou Linlin, they began to discuss among themselves.

"He’s kind of handsome, but you can tell he’s from humble origins. Looks alone don’t cut it these days. It’s Wang Ming, the basketball team’s coach, who’s the real catch! He’s handsome, wealthy, and looks so cool when playing basketball. He’s the epitome of a perfect boyfriend in our eyes!"

"You can’t say that. Since he has the courage to challenge Wang Ming, we should encourage him. Looking at his build, I guess he’ll probably be knocked flying as soon as he steps onto the basketball court. It’s commendable courage, truly commendable!"

"I, for one, want to thank this commoner! Without him, how could we have the chance to see Wang Ming’s basketball prowess again? As the coach of the basketball team, he barely touches the ball these days."

...

All the male students in the gymnasium felt their hearts shatter upon seeing Zou Linlin and Ye Chenfeng enter together. In their eyes, only they deserved Zou Linlin! Everyone else was nothing but cow dung, dog shit.

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? Just look at his scrawny figure. Only I am the perfect match for Teacher Zou!"

Another student, face riddled with acne, quickly chimed in, "How could Teacher Zou fall for someone like that? Is he more charming and dashing than me, more wise and brave, more..."

The acne-faced boy was in agonizing pain. Compared to the porcine-statured student next to him, he was as thin as a bamboo pole. This brother must have spent his days furiously in his dorm!

On the basketball court, Wang Ming, seeing Ye Chenfeng and Zou Linlin, strutted over with his chest puffed out. Following close by were two students dressed in the basketball team’s uniform. It seemed they must be players from the basketball team.

"I suddenly feel that just the two of us playing basketball isn’t very interesting. So, I’ve decided to have a real match against you. But, I know you’re all alone, so don’t worry, I’ve picked four other players for you as assistants,"

Wang Ming pointed to the four male students in basketball uniforms behind him. Each of these male students was the cream of the crop! Without exception, they all wore glasses, and judging by the thickness of their lenses, one could guess their prescriptions were at least 800 degrees. 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.

This was another brilliant strategy conceived by Wang Ming. 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. Besides, with so many people watching their basketball showdown today, how could he possibly lose! 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.

"Wang Ming, you’re so despicable! Having these four as Chenfeng’s teammates is basically forcing Chenfeng to fight you alone," Zou Linlin furiously exclaimed.

Wang Ming frowned and turned his gaze to Ye Chenfeng, "What’s it going to be? Just now, weren’t you the one who said you would leave me traumatized by basketball? Are you chickening out now? As a man, you shouldn’t always have a woman fight your battles. Make up your mind quickly, will you play or not?"

"Coach Wang, I think he’s probably looking to turtle up. Someone like him doesn’t even deserve to compete with me," said a basketball player standing beside Wang Ming.

"Yeah! Coach Wang, don’t waste your time on this guy. We’ve got a game next week, and we need to focus on that instead," another player next to Wang Ming chimed in.

Looking at Wang Ming and his group who resembled clowns performing on a stage, Ye Chenfeng casually said, "What a lot of nonsense. I alone am enough to beat you. There’s no need to arrange any teammates for me."

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. In no time, his arrogantly brash statement spread throughout the gymnasium, causing an uproar.

"What? He wants to take on our school’s team alone? Is he out of his mind? There’s showing off, and then there’s this ridiculousness."

"I think he’s escaped from a mental institution. Not even an NBA professional would dare to say they could beat our entire school team alone! I’ll be waiting to watch him make a fool of himself. How dare such a person think he’s worthy of our goddess?"

...

The male students began to belittle Ye Chenfeng again. In their eyes, Ye Chenfeng was nothing but a blowhard, and his bluff would soon be called.

The female students were all supportive of Wang Ming, the affluent and good-looking coach. 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.

"Who does he think he is? Jordan? McGrady? Trying to beat our school’s basketball team all by himself? He’s just digging his own grave."

"You’re absolutely right, if he really goes on the court alone, I’m sure he won’t make a single basket. I thought he was some handsome, grassroots hero. Turns out he’s just a handsome nutcase—such a waste of a good-looking face."

"There are too many delusional people in this world, not weighing their own abilities, foolishly trying to act important. In choosing a boyfriend in the future, you definitely can’t pick this kind of pretentious guy. He’s bound to end up embarrassing himself."
