He wasn’t that outstanding, nor was he that dazzling, but in his eyes—and his entire world—there was only me. He would do everything he could to make me happy, to bring me joy...

Li Yuan gave a casual smile and narcissistically raised his right hand to flex his biceps. "Haha, I’m just too excellent. Can’t be helped."

Seeing Li Yuan’s narcissistic expression, Bai Weixi scoffed. She bit her lip, her gaze falling on his strong muscles with a mesmerized light glinting in her eyes. She then pursed her lips into a soft smile. "That’s right, Brother is truly so excellent!"

Listening to Bai Weixi calling him ’Brother’ this and ’Brother’ that, Li Lanrong, Gao Xin, and Ge Chenchen couldn’t help but secretly curl their lips. This girl from the Finance Academy was top-tier beautiful, but she was also too much of a coquette. Such words would never come from the innocent and dazed Xia Zhijin.

Li Lanrong stamped her foot in helpless frustration. She glanced at the shy Xia Zhijin standing beside Li Yuan with her head lowered, feeling terribly anxious for her treasured roommate. This silly girl, Zhijin, just stands there dumbly while that girl from the Finance Academy steals all the limelight!

Men and women, however, saw things completely differently. When Liu Jia, Wu Hao, Ren Jun, and the other guys heard Bai Weixi, who was as lovely as a Heavenly Immortal, delicately calling Li Yuan ’Brother,’ they felt like they were melting with envy. What guy could resist such a beautiful girl calling him ’Brother’ so sweetly? If an unattractive girl were to call out ’Brother’ like that, they would just feel nauseous. Men and women alike were just that realistic.

In university, one had yet to step into the harsher realities of society. It was an era that completely favored good looks. Beauty is justice! So-called love at first sight inevitably begins with appearance.

Bai Weixi stared at Li Yuan, intentionally flicking a glance from the corner of her eye toward the somewhat reserved and helpless Xia Zhijin. Her large eyes seemed to speak as she cooed, "Brother, when does the match start? I want to cheer for you!"

Hearing Bai Weixi call him ’Brother’ over and over in front of so many people made Li Yuan’s scalp tingle. Bai Weixi had liked to do this back in high school. He hadn’t understood it at the time and had asked her why. Li Yuan would never forget her answer. She had playfully made a funny face at him and replied with a giggle, "Li Yuan, my parents only have me, their only daughter. From now on, I’ll call you Brother and treat you like my real older brother! Is that okay?" It seemed that from that day forward, Bai Weixi would occasionally call him ’Brother’ in private, just like at Wanfo Pagoda Park when he had confessed his feelings to her for the third time...

Li Yuan smiled. "The opposing team called a timeout. It should be starting again any second now."

Bai Weixi seemed to understand what a "timeout" was. She glanced at the scoreboard again, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Li Yuan. "Brother, you’re so amazing! Your team’s score is double theirs."

Xia Zhijin watched as Bai Weixi actively struck up a conversation and laughed with Li Yuan. She stole a glance at him, looking even more nervous. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her personality made her completely unable to handle such a situation.

Just as Xia Zhijin stood there silently, Li Yuan suddenly handed her the half-empty bottle of Sprite he had been drinking from and smiled gently. "Zhijin, this Sprite is really good. Hold it for me, okay?"

With a dazed look, Xia Zhijin took the bottle and nodded earnestly.

Watching the faces and figures of Bai Weixi and Xia Zhijin, Liu Jia and the others couldn’t hide their jealousy, their mouths dry with envy.

Man, Yuan is so lucky. He’s actually managed to have a girl on each arm, and his two girlfriends don’t even fight when they meet, Liu Jia muttered to himself, an urgent desire to find a girlfriend building within him. His gaze suddenly fell on a girl standing next to Bai Weixi. Though not nearly as beautiful as her, she still seemed rather attractive. This girl doesn’t seem too bad. Should I try to pursue her?

As the center of everyone’s attention, when Li Yuan walked to the side of the court to chat intimately with two campus-belle-level beauties, the surrounding crowd of spectators instantly started shipping them.

[Wow, what’s the relationship between these two beauties and Xia Hua? It seems pretty special, right?]

[Heh, you don’t even know that, and you call yourself a fan of Xia Hua? These two girls are probably both his girlfriends. One is a classmate from his Computer Science major, and the other is the belle of the Finance Academy freshmen...]

[I remember reading online that Xia Hua has four girlfriends. I wonder if it’s true? Two of them are even roommates. Two have shown up now. Will the others come to the court too?]

[Yeah, it’s true. The Daxia board on Qiandu Tieba even had threads about it, but for some reason, you can’t find them anymore. I heard a rumor that the people who started those threads received a letter from a lawyer...]

[Who cares? I’m a fan of Xia Hua’s talent. His love life is none of my business. Girls, during halftime, let’s all shout together and get Xia Hua to sing for us!]

[Damn, are you guys trying to turn a basketball game into Xia Hua’s personal concert?]

Amid the boisterous discussion, the referee’s whistle signaled the restart of the game. Li Yuan looked at Bai Weixi and Xia Zhijin, reminding them with a smile, "The game’s about to begin. You two should stand back a little so you don’t get hit by the ball."
