The entire court was already surrounded by a diverse crowd of university students. Looking from the outside, anyone who didn’t know better might have thought a CUBA team had come to play.

Zhong Tingyue was a little puzzled. Why was the area near this particular basketball hoop so sparsely populated, and only with girls? Listening to the cheers, she hesitated for a moment before squeezing through the crowd to an open spot on the sidelines near a few other girls. She was dressed very fashionably, wearing stylish sunglasses, with her black hair cascading over her shoulders. A few strands lifted gently in the breeze.

When a few of the boys saw another tall, beautiful woman arrive, they immediately puffed out their chests and stood up straighter, as if that alone could project confidence.

"Wow, what’s with today? Have all the beauties in the school decided to show up at once? Judging by her face and figure, this girl in the sunglasses must be another total knockout."

"Hey, why do I get the feeling this beauty in sunglasses is also here for Li Yuan? You don’t think she’s another one of his girlfriends, do you?"

"Who knows? That scumbag Li Yuan is so damn lucky. He’s snatched up almost every beautiful girl in our school. I’m so jealous I could cry!"

"Heh, if you were willing to spend millions on a luxury sports car, you’d definitely have beautiful women willing to be with you too."

"Tsk, a sports car worth millions... you could sell me and it still wouldn’t be enough. Sigh, Li Yuan might be a scumbag, but he really knows how to throw money around. I have no idea what his background is, and now he’s launched ’Zhihu,’ which is insanely popular..."

Amidst the hushed chatter and stares, Zhong Tingyue reached the edge of the court. As it happened, she found herself standing just south of Xia Zhijin, with only Li Lanrong between them.

Li Lanrong snuck a glance at Zhong Tingyue out of the corner of her eye, her expression a mixture of shock and awe. The woman next to her exuded such an intense pressure that Li Lanrong felt completely overshadowed. It made her feel involuntarily inferior, and she subconsciously edged closer to Xia Zhijin, as if seeking security.

Li Lanrong glanced at Zhong Tingyue again and saw her staring intently at Li Yuan on the court. This cool, aloof-looking woman... she couldn’t possibly be here specifically for Li Yuan too, could she?

The moment the thought surfaced, her sixth sense flared, telling her she was very likely correct.

Li Lanrong nudged Xia Zhijin’s arm and leaned in to whisper, "Zhijin, do you know this girl next to me?"

Startled, Xia Zhijin tore her gaze from the court and looked at the woman beside Li Lanrong. She was about the same height as herself, but her figure seemed more defined, with beautiful curves. A diamond necklace graced her fair neck, and she was dressed very fashionably. At a glance, she was clearly someone with a great sense of style. However, Xia Zhijin didn’t recognize her at all.

Xia Zhijin shook her head at Li Lanrong before turning her attention back to the court.

With just over a minute left in the first half, Computer Science Class 1, led by Li Yuan, was completely dominating Computer Science Class 2. The score was a staggering 56 to 24, and Li Yuan himself had scored more than 30 of those points. With the addition of Li Yuan, who was practically cheating, this amateur inter-class basketball game had turned into a slaughter. It was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, a complete one-man show.

After being powerfully knocked aside by Li Yuan earlier, Lu Kangze had felt his opponent’s formidable strength and didn’t dare make any more arrogant remarks. He was just an out-of-town student from an ordinary family. Hearing Li Yuan’s threatening words had left him deeply uneasy and filled with regret.

On the court, Liu Jia grabbed a rebound and immediately passed it to Li Yuan, shouting with a hearty laugh, "Yuan, take it! Fast break! Get another dunk!"

Li Yuan caught the ball and immediately accelerated. Seeing him charge, the players from Computer Science Class 2 just stopped in their tracks, not even bothering to chase. He was simply too fast; every time he went for a fast break, they couldn’t keep up, let alone block him.

Just as Li Yuan was about to go for a windmill dunk, a very familiar voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Senior, go for it!"

He knew that voice all too well; it was impossible to mistake it. In all of Daxia University, only she ever called him "Senior"! Li Yuan was so startled the basketball almost slipped from his hands.

Following the sound, he looked and saw that a tall woman in sunglasses had appeared at some point next to Li Lanrong. As Li Yuan looked over, Zhong Tingyue waved at him and offered a devastatingly beautiful smile.

Li Yuan smiled and nodded in response, but he couldn’t completely hide the shock in his eyes.

Oh crap, when did Little Moon get here? Xia Zhijin, Bai Weixi, and Zhong Tingyue... all three of them are here together! How am I supposed to handle this? Looking for advice, online now, it’s urgent!

Li Yuan’s heart pounded. He glanced nervously at the sidelines, where his girlfriends and their roommates stood in a row. Zhong Tingyue stood at the southernmost end of the line. Next to her, heading north, were Li Lanrong, Xia Zhijin, Ge Chenchen, Gao Xin, Wang Lisha, Bai Weixi, and Deng Meiqi. They formed a stunning lineup, a beautiful sight that captured the attention of most of the men in the crowd.
