Chapter Thirty-Two: The Hand Stretched Too Far

  It was not yet six o'clock when I left Lin Miao's house, and most of the students who lived on campus had already returned to school. Compared to last week when everyone was tense because of the mid-term exams, this Sunday was obviously very relaxing for everyone. There were hardly any people in the classrooms, but there were many people on the playground, with boys playing basketball and soccer, while girls played shuttlecock and other games.

  "Hey, Liu Yifei, come play basketball with us. We're one player short." Someone called out to him as he walked past the basketball court.

  Liu Yifei looked over and saw that there were several classmates from his own class on the basketball court, as well as a few who seemed to be from Class 4. The ones calling out to him were his own classmates, and around the basketball court were also several female classmates from both classes, including He Yuanyan and Wang Ke. Liu Yifei had guessed that the other boys were from Class 4 because he saw Wang Ke.

  The people in the class called him, Wang Ke also looked at him, Liu Yifei's eyes met Wang Ke's, and he immediately showed her a smile. Wang Ke immediately shyly avoided Liu Yifei's gaze, that kind of blushing appearance was very cute.

  He Yuanyan also looked at him, but when Liu Yifei smiled at her, He Yuanyan immediately gave Liu Yifei a big white eye, and then turned her head away with a huff.

  Liu Yifei knew that the last time he joked with her and betrothed himself to her, it became a hot topic of discussion in the whole class afterwards, making He Yuanyan very embarrassed and resentful towards Liu Yifei.

  "Okay! Wait a minute, I'll go change into another pair of shoes and be right back."

  "Hurry up, we're still one person short."

  Liu Yifei quickly returned to the dormitory, changed into a pair of basketball shoes that cost over 10 yuan, with hard nodules on the soles. As for his clothes, he didn't have any special sports attire to change into, so he just wore his original clothes. Anyway, it was hot today, and if they got dirty, he could wash them tonight and wear them again tomorrow.

  He ran back to the basketball court from his dormitory, Liu Yifei felt as if he was floating in mid-air. He didn't particularly like playing basketball in high school, but when he got to college, he realized that the basketball court was always where the most beautiful girls were. To win their hearts, Liu Yifei became crazy about basketball and even went to watch the school team's practice sessions. Although he had never played for the school team, his skills improved significantly from playing with the best players every day.

  However, after joining the workforce, he rarely participated in sports and his belly grew bigger. Eventually, even light physical labor left him panting heavily. Last week, Liu Yifei didn't have a chance to exercise and wasn't too concerned about his physique. But when he started running, the previous heaviness was gone, and his body felt extremely light and comfortable, leaving him speechless.

  He ran onto the court, Liu Yifei jumped up and down again, feeling refreshed all over, that feeling of galloping on the university non-school team came back, smiling and saying: "Full court or half court?" His whole body was full of confidence.

  "Huh? Yifei, what's wrong with you today?" Liu Bogang, a classmate of Liu Yifei, looked at him in surprise. "Your whole demeanor is completely different today!"

  Liu Yifei burst out laughing and said, "When people encounter happy events, their spirits are lifted."

  Liu Bo Gang and several other classmates in the class couldn't help but look at He Yuexuan and Wang Ke, Wang Ke came to Class 2 a few days ago to find Liu Yifei, which has been circulating as a good story among everyone. Later, Liu Yifei also made a bet with He Yuexuan, so everyone can't help but think that the happy event Liu Yifei mentioned is because Wang Ke and He Yuexuan are here as cheerleaders.

  Liu Bo Gang ambiguously winked at Liu Yi Fei and said, "Heh heh, then you'd better behave yourself later, don't lose face, or else we can't help you."

  He Yuanyan was stared at by her classmates, which made her even more annoyed. But this matter was getting worse and worse, she could only get angry and couldn't say a word. At this time, her best friend Li Ya shouted loudly: "I'm asking you, are you going to play basketball or not? Are you still okay or not? Liu Yifei's basketball skills are so bad, you're looking for him, isn't that obviously we're going to lose?"

  "This is the time, that is the time too!" Liu Yifei smiled and took over the basketball from Liu Bo's hand, patted it twice, feeling not bad, then dribbled forward for two steps, suddenly stopped and jumped up. At the highest point of the jump, he exerted force with his wrist, using his fingertips to throw the ball out. The ball drew a beautiful arc flying towards the hoop.

  Liu Yifei's shooting posture is really beautiful and very professional, suddenly making Liu Bojian and others extremely surprised. To know that in the past, Liu Yifei's previous level was not bad, but it was absolutely amateurish, and now such a shooting posture seems to be achievable only after receiving certain training.

  But they were just surprised, and then again greatly disappointed. Liu Yifei's shooting posture was beautiful, but the accuracy was not to be praised. The basketball directly hit the backboard and bounced off, and didn't even touch the rim.

  "Hmph..." Suddenly someone chuckled and said, "Wow, that's quite impressive! Although the pose is pretty good, it looks like a decorative pillow - all show and no substance!"

  Liu Yifei didn't pay attention to who said that, but shook his hand, feeling a bit puzzled in his heart. With the posture and hand feeling he had just now, even if he couldn't make a shot, he should have at least hit the rim, how could it be off by so much?

  But Liu Yifei soon came to his senses, all the feelings he had now should be 33 years old after 16 years, and this body was 17 years old, naturally feeling different, running and jumping would not make a big difference, but like now such precise shooting, the difference is immediately apparent.

  "Hey! You guys are really something, they say the boys in your class are awesome, and now you're even reaching out to our class. We've got to see just how fierce you guys from Class 2 really are!" Another voice called out from behind him.

  "What's wrong with reaching you? It's your fault that the boys in Class 4 can't do it, otherwise it would be our turn for the people in Class 2 to take action!" Liu Bo retorted immediately.

  "Who did you say can't do it?" The voice on the other end suddenly got louder.

  "What's wrong with you guys? You can't even bear it yourselves, yet you're blaming us?"

  Liu Yifei turned his head, somewhat stunned. This group of people dared to play basketball today, and it seemed that there was a purpose behind it. The reason was obviously Wang Ke. He didn't expect that the two dollars Wang Ke had given him would trigger the resentment of the four male students towards him. In his past life, there was a case of a steamed bun that triggered a bloodbath. Could it be that he himself was going to start a war over two dollars?
