Chapter 1 I'm Done For!

I'm done for! I'm definitely done for this time!
The moment Xu Chen saw his foot dragging completely on the ground, the lower half of his calf devoid of any sensation, unable even to control it, his eyes instantly reddened, trembling with fear.

And the pain, after the realization dawned, crashed down like a roaring tsunami.

The bone was definitely broken, not a fracture, but a complete break.
He could even see his X-ray, right in the middle of his calf…

I'm finished. The upcoming city league, my future basketball career, my life…
No, my leg!!!!

Seeing the two people fall so heavily to the ground, the entire audience gasped. Some even covered their faces, unable to watch, because the impact was simply too terrifying.

Teammates from both sides rushed over, instantly surrounding the injured players.

Xia Xinyu was more nervous than ever, directly rushing onto the court, squeezing past Hu Siqi, looking at Chen Yuan sitting on the ground, too frightened to speak.

It was painful.

Until Chen Yuan smiled faintly and reached out to her.

Xu Chen raised his hand.

Xu Chen was about to speak when he heard an unfamiliar, gentle voice: "If you're injured, you have to be treated."

"To dare hug in school, isn't that too arrogant?"

Chu Heng was already trembling with fear, looking at his teammates around him. Not only did he not receive comfort, but he seemed to have gained the ability to hear their inner thoughts. They were saying:

After he explained, Li Yuanzhen suddenly understood.

As their timeout ended, Lao Mo immediately called another one.

Then, he slowly raised a hand, palm down, with his index finger pointing at the palm.

But just by reading their lips, he could hear what they were saying.

Then, the entire high school would be proud of this decision.

Lao Mo, who played basketball, understood Xu Chen's psychology, so he gave him encouragement: "One minute of rest isn't enough, I'll arrange it."

While he was lost in thought, the school doctor had already arrived. Carrying a stretcher, they carefully placed him on it and sent him to the school infirmary…

Moreover, the entire process was filmed, everyone knew exactly how Chu Heng broke his leg.

"Okay, we'll see then."

One referee was unsure and consulted another physical education teacher.

Standing next to the free-throw line, hands on his hips, Liu Qiming asked, leaning forward.

Silence meant agreement! I'm finished!!!

Everyone wanted him to win.

And he himself, beaten and battered, was still liked by everyone.

The school didn't need to pay compensation, after all, student insurance would cover it. And Xu Chen didn't need to compensate either, partly because the injury was unintentional during a game, so no one needed to be held responsible.

Seeing this, Liu Qiming intended to pull him up, but Pang Ge slapped his hand away: "Tsk."

Of course, that included Pang Ge and the others.

"It takes a hundred days to recover from a bone injury, what are you thinking about!"

Just as he was about to break down and yell at them to stop nagging him in their minds, a strong and forceful voice suddenly appeared: "Make way, make way, don't move him!"

The timeout ended, Liu Qiming called another timeout.

Beep!

"..." Unsure, Chen Yuan paused for a moment, then said, "Don't think about that, focus on healing first."

Lao Mo connected to his timeout, adding another timeout.

Liu Zhi's strong, non-affirmative answer made Chu Heng's heart sink completely.

Only their side was left, with a full final quarter yet to be played.

Lao Mo didn't think a class game was worth playing to such an extent.

"Too sweet, what immortal love is this."

But as a result, Chu Heng undoubtedly shot himself in the foot.

On the stretcher, Chu Heng looked at the countless pairs of eyes watching him.

"Do you want me to help you?" Hu Siqi squatted beside him, asking proactively.

But he found that Liu Qiming and the others who had called the whistle hadn't returned to the bench to rest, but were standing on the court like that.

They would continue playing.

As Class 78 prepared to serve, Liu Zhi raised his hand, tapping his palm with his finger, and called a timeout.

"Teacher, do you mean I can't play basketball anymore?!"

Who was that from?

"Ice water, and ethyl chloride gas from the infirmary."

"..."

Looking around, countless pairs of eyes on every floor, every spot, were focused on this 28-meter-long, 15-meter-wide 'square'.

"But it looks so scary…"

But he couldn't give up…

"Rest for a while and then go…"

Lao Mo didn't want to speak anymore.

As one could imagine, another group of CP fanatics were celebrating their new discovery.

Then, Pang Ge and Xia Xinyu helped him directly to the bench.

Xu Chen looked at his foot, which was at 6% loss, put the air and water aside, put on his socks, put on his shoes, and stood up.

After Xu Chen raised his head, he suddenly found that the corridors of the teaching building were full of people.

And, the moment Liu Qiming received the ball, because of his excellent sportsmanship just now, the entire audience was shouting not only Xu Chen, but also:

His parents might be unreasonable, might come to the school to demand an explanation, or even ask Xu Chen and the school for compensation.

Pangzi glanced at Liu Zhi and said, "He's giving him time to rest."

It could only be said that it was just a class game, there was no need to make it too intense.

To not let down his teammates, he would endure the pain and take the loss.

Did he even make that three-pointer?

"..."

Seeing that Chen Yuan could still smile, Xia Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed one of his hands with both of hers and tried to pull him up from the ground.

69:56.

"Xu Chen is really awesome, his body twisted like that, but he still managed to make the three-pointer while avoiding the foot foul…"

Li Yuanzhen walked to the center court, preparing to defend, when Liu Qiming in front of her suddenly asked, "Is he still going to play?"

Even if they lost, they had fought hard.

What's wrong?

At that time, the remaining eight games had not yet started.

It was hard to make his white skin blush.

"Compete. The injured player is off the court, the remaining players will determine the victory or defeat," the teacher said directly.

"Why are you treating me like a good person." Seeing the other party sulking, Liu Zhirui smiled and said, "Tell me whether he's playing or not, I'm serious."

Liu Zhi finally understood why Hu Siqi was so anxious to take a shower after smelling his heavy sweat that day.

He was in the limelight and won everyone's cheers.

"...Okay."

It wasn't possible to call off the game just because someone was seriously injured.

As for Xu Chen, he should be the one demanding an explanation, even if it was just a slight ankle sprain.

Damn it, he needed some face too.

Was he sending it?

Clutching his other good leg tightly, Chu Heng hammered the stretcher hard. Immediately, he broke down and cried.

"If you can't wait, we'll go easy on you and only win by eight points," Liu Zhirui said with a smile.

Xu Chen nodded and said rather nervously: "Just a free throw."

"!"

Because Chu Heng, who was consumed by his inner demons, was gone, Class 78 was now at its strongest with seven players.

He could definitely still play basketball, but he could only play hard. Xu Chen needed treatment now.

"Yo yo yo…"

The timeout ended, and the players returned to the court.

Then, looking at Liu Zhirui, who had a faint smile on his face, as if saying 'See, I told you I'm not a good person,' he felt ashamed and his face turned red.

It was self-inflicted.

It could only be said that Xia Xinyu's strength was a little too much, and Chen Yuan could only stand up by using his own feet.
