Chapter 226: Taking the Field as a Substitute

"What's the score now?"

Wan Yunting looked at the game on the court, turned to Fang Yanxi and Huang Yuqing sitting beside him, and asked with a smile.

"We're already fifteen points behind."

Huang Yuqing pointed to the scoreboard, which showed Huadu University with 17 points and Zhongnan University with 32. Wan Yunting exclaimed with a laugh, "Losing so badly, no wonder Pei Pei is jumping up and down."

"Exactly."

Huang Yuqing and Fang Yanxi also smiled, looking at Jiang Peipei by the sideline, who was shouting instructions at Dai Hongyang and the others. Seeing the large score difference, she was anxious.

"If you were playing, you definitely wouldn't let us lose this badly."

Huang Yuqing smiled at Wan Yunting and then gestured to Fang Yanxi, "Don't you think so, Yanxi?"

"Mm..."

Fang Yanxi nodded a little unnaturally, perhaps distracted by the man's sudden attention.

"You flatter me."

Wan Yunting seemed quite natural, smiling and saying, "I haven't played a formal match in a long time, I can't compare to them."

"That's not necessarily true."

Huang Yuqing smiled and called out to Fang Yanxi, "Remember that game before, the one against the University of Science and Technology? He made them cry."

Fang Yanxi, who was brought into the conversation, also recalled the basketball game between Wan Yunting and the University of Science and Technology. Because of his fierce play, he had made the male students from the University of Science and Technology cry on the court.

"Ah, a hero shouldn't boast about past glories."

Wan Yunting smiled humbly and waved his hands. The legends he had created on the basketball court were now in the past…

Then, something happened on the court. Dai Hongyang was going for a rebound when Huang Qingsheng also rushed over, knocking Dai Hongyang flying. At the same time, his right foot twisted, and he let out a scream…

"It wasn't intentional…"

Huang Qingsheng and the others immediately shouted. The male teachers from Huadu University got angry, "Huang Qingsheng, you've gone too far…"

"That's right, you clearly intentionally knocked down Teacher Dai earlier…"

The students from Huadu University in the stands also shouted in dissatisfaction, feeling that the teachers from Zhongnan University were too much and had no sportsmanship.

"I'll go take a look."

Seeing that there was no doctor on the court, Wan Yunting went over. Jiang Peipei was also examining Dai Hongyang's right foot, which was contorted with pain.

"It's over, it looks like Teacher Dai can't play anymore."

Seeing how badly Dai Hongyang had sprained his ankle, he definitely couldn't continue playing.

"Yunting, how is it?"

Jiang Peipei saw Wan Yunting examining Dai Hongyang's foot. He shook his head slightly, "His tendons are injured, he can't continue the match. He needs to be sent for treatment."

"No, I want to play." Dai Hongyang glared and said fiercely.

Wan Yunting said sternly, "This is just a friendly match, not representing the country. Why push yourself so hard? Besides, do you really think you can continue playing like this?"

Dai Hongyang snorted, "You don't need to worry about it, I'm continuing to play…"

"Enough, Dai Hongyang, how can you play like this? Do you want your foot to be crippled?" Jiang Peipei rebuked, and then shouted to the two male basketball students, "Help Teacher Dai over there to rest."

"The game is temporarily suspended!"

Jiang Peipei turned her head and coldly snorted at Huang Qingsheng and the others.

The teachers from Zhongnan University showed indifferent expressions and went to the sidelines to rest and adjust.

"What do we do? Teacher Dai can't play anymore now."

On Huadu University's side, with Dai Hongyang unable to continue playing, the remaining four male teachers were in a difficult situation. None of them were retired professional basketball players, and they couldn't beat Huang Qingsheng and Wang Zhengfei.

"Get Old Chen to substitute…"

"Old Chen? He's such trash, we might as well just admit defeat."

For a moment, the four male teachers from Huadu had internal disagreements. Jiang Peipei's face was grim, and she shouted, "That's enough, the game isn't over yet, and you're already admitting fault. Do you have any shame?"

Lin Shang sighed helplessly, "Then what do you suggest? Who should take Teacher Dai's place?"

"Yeah, among our male teachers, besides Teacher Dai and you, we're all amateur enthusiasts," said another teacher named Hao Ming, spreading his hands.

Jiang Peipei was also troubled. Then her gaze fell on Wan Yunting, who was currently massaging Dai Hongyang's sprained right ankle, "That's right, why did I forget about him…"

"If you want to go to the hospital for treatment, your foot needs an X-ray."

Wan Yunting squatted down, pointed at Dai Hongyang's right foot, and smiled, "If you want it simpler, I can treat you with acupuncture. Two courses of treatment will have you completely recovered."

Dai Hongyang was stunned, "You know medicine?"

"Mm."

Wan Yunting nodded with a smile. Just then, Jiang Peipei came over, "Yunting, do me a favor and play for him!"

This statement made both Wan Yunting and Dai Hongyang freeze, looking at Jiang Peipei speechlessly, "Weren't you supposed to let me watch the game?"

"Oh, but this is a special situation."

Jiang Peipei pulled him up, pointed at Dai Hongyang, and said with disappointment, "Who told him to be so careless and get knocked down? All our male teachers are too weak now, so we have to find you to play."

Fang Yanxi and Huang Yuqing, who were watching from the side, were also surprised by the turn of events.

Wan Yunting, who was feeling a bit eager, smiled, "Is this okay? Do they agree?"

"You're our external reinforcement, it's no problem."

Jiang Peipei patted his shoulder, then turned to Dai Hongyang and said, "Give him the jersey, I'll go talk to Zhongnan University."

With that, Jiang Peipei went to find Huang Qingsheng, leaving Wan Yunting to turn and look at Dai Hongyang, then at the number 8 jersey on his chest, "I like number eight…"

"Are you guys from Huadu University out of players? You even have to find an external reinforcement?"

Huang Qingsheng and the other teachers from Zhongnan University naturally didn't recognize Wan Yunting. Seeing them find an outsider to replace Dai Hongyang, they immediately began to mock and ridicule, "By the way, is he a teacher?"

"That's right, if he's not a teacher, he can't be an external reinforcement," said Wang Zhengfei and the others.

This was a contest between teachers, which made Jiang Peipei hesitant.

"I am a teacher."

As a result, Wan Yunting, wearing Dai Hongyang's number 8 jersey, walked up and smiled, "I am a TCM teacher at Xingyao Elementary School. I'll be reporting for duty on Monday."

"What, a TCM teacher from an elementary school?"

Huang Qingsheng and Wang Zhengfei, the teachers from Zhongnan, were stunned and then burst into laughter, "I say Coach Jiang, your Huadu University is truly out of people, inviting a teacher from an elementary school to be your external reinforcement. Does he even know how to play basketball?"

"Hahaha…"

The students from Zhongnan University in the stands also roared with laughter.

Even the students from Huadu University couldn't understand why Jiang Peipei would let an elementary school teacher replace Dai Hongyang. Being mocked like this made them lose face. Some students couldn't bear to watch and got up to leave…

However, the basketball team students from Huadu University, along with Dai Hongyang, Fang Yanxi, and Huang Yuqing, knew Wan Yunting's basketball skills. Seeing Huang Qingsheng and the others mock Wan Yunting so much, they secretly smiled. Dai Hongyang shouted, "Teacher Wan, crush them…"

"Yunting, go for it…"

Huang Yuqing also shouted, and the male basketball players beside her also cheered. The atmosphere instantly affected Fang Yanxi. Although she was too shy to shout, her excited eyes were fixed on Wan Yunting on the basketball court…

As if in a dream, she seemed to see a handsome god from the past, wearing the number 8 jersey and being invincible…
