Chapter 145 Winning Party at the Gymnasium

No matter what, it's hard to imagine a conversation between these two.

Tang: Do you like steamed buns?

Cheng: I don't particularly like them, but that's just my personal opinion. It's not to say that steamed buns are bad. If I've offended anyone...

Tang: So, do you eat steamed buns?

Cheng: I can have one.

"..."

No, this dialogue is too Tang.

Tang Siwen's Tang.

"If you two become good besties... then you'd really be the most dazzling pair of sisters in the school." Hearing these two names, and listed together, Zhou Fu really felt a sense of a powerful alliance.

And what’s exaggerated is that the two of them have a combined peak match score of 1250.

None of the high scorers are as pretty as them.

There aren't many who are prettier than them to begin with, and adding the academic genius attribute makes it even harder to compare.

Actually, girls don't only like to hang out with people who are worse than them, and beautiful women don't necessarily look for ugly girls to set themselves off. If besties are both good-looking, there's a feeling of being noticed, and a slightly subtle vanity arises, making others think that your circle must be amazing, full of beauties.

But these two don't seem to have that kind of thinking.

Their personalities are more abnormal than the other...

"Dazzling?" Tang Siwen doesn't not understand the word, but it made her think of something.

Cheng Haiying's opening line when she added her was: Are you the Morning Star?

Tang Siwen didn't quite understand, she thought the other person had mistaken her for someone else.

Because her name is Tang Siwen.

Later, Cheng Haiying explained that at night there are countless stars in the sky, and the first one you see, the brightest one, is the Morning Star.

It's like after telling a joke, the other person doesn't understand, so you have to explain it again, which then seems particularly awkward, so you can only send cat pictures to ease the atmosphere.

But Tang Siwen got it.

And, she was quite touched.

She meant that among the crowd, I am unique.

"She was the one who took the initiative to befriend you, right?"

Based on the other person's personality, Chen Yuan asked.

"Yeah." Tang Siwen nodded.

"Then how did you two become good friends?" Zhou Fu was too curious, she couldn't imagine that scene no matter what.

"She asked me if I had any good friends."

"Eh? What did you say?"

"..."

What Tang Siwen said was that she had some friends. The other person then asked, what about the best one? Then Tang Siwen hesitated for a while and said that Chen Yuan was slightly better. But she felt that it would be a little weird to say this now, so she said, "I said, no."

"Ah? Doesn't that count as being bros?" Chen Yuan felt very wronged.

And here I was going to the cafeteria to buy you steamed buns!

"Let her talk."

Zhou Fu still remembered that she had betrayed Tang Siwen just now, so she felt a little guilty and didn't want Chen Yuan to joke around.

"Then, she said, can I be your best friend?" Tang Siwen calmly narrated, "I said I'd think about it, and then ten minutes later I told her, yes."

"Ah? Just like that?"

Zhou Fu was completely dumbfounded.

In her heart, she had regarded Tang Siwen as an ice-cold maiden with an sss-level difficulty to conquer, thinking that she wouldn't be able to clear the game without playing through it five times.

But just like that, just like that?!

"No one has ever said that to me before." Tang Siwen felt very unconvinced about Zhou Fu's surprise, and said quite seriously, "She's the first one."

"Oh, that's so interesting." Chen Yuan laughed.

The feeling of rice being the finale of a Manchurian banquet came again.

But he already knew that the so-called aloofness, unapproachability, the empire's fierce tiger, etc., were all just imagined by everyone's self-brainwashing. She's definitely very easy to conquer.

It's just a pity that Zhou Fu didn't listen to him back then, otherwise she could have made such a beautiful little girlfriend.

Wow, there's a Yuri fan!

"Ah, then can you be good friends with me?" Zhou Fu grabbed Tang Siwen's arm with tears in her eyes, almost kowtowing to her.

To this, Tang Siwen covered her mouth and couldn't help but laugh, and then readjusted her expression, turned her head to one side, and whispered, "Yes, but second best."

"Aiya, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... don't hold grudges, Siwen!"

Zhou Fu had completely forgotten that the culprit was Chen Yuan, who casually said he wanted to transfer classes, and was frantically begging Tang Siwen for forgiveness. And because the other person vaguely mentioned what she had said just now, it made her repeatedly feel self-consumed by the 'despicable' nature of her humanity.

Wow, so scheming?

Tang Siwen really has a sense of variety.

Just as Chen Yuan thought this, he saw Cheng Haiying's phantom come.

Carrying a cup of hot drink in her hand.

Then, Tang Siwen's phantom stood face to face with her. She handed out a packed steamed bun, while the other person sent out the hot drink. The two exchanged breakfast here.

Tang Siwen smiled lightly, raised her hand, and waved goodbye. Then Cheng Haiying also raised her hand, but used a hand with distinct bones, slender and fair, gently holding Tang Siwen's hand, which also had a very beautiful shape, but was softer and not so thin...

"?" Chen Yuan.

He typed a question mark in confusion, but the Tang Siwen in the phantom wasn't surprised, she was slightly stunned for a moment, and then grabbed the other person's hand, still smiling lightly, and waved goodbye.

Finally, the two parted ways here.

It's not strange for girls to do this kind of behavior, it's actually very friendly.

But now there's no one around, doing it at this time... hiss, hard to say.

"Then let's go?" Zhou Fu asked.

"Friends, you go first." Tang Siwen replied, "I'm waiting for Cheng Haiying, we made plans."

"Wuwu... then we'll go first, bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

"Chen Yuan, let's go."

"..."

So casually calling his real name, coming when called, feeling like a child she was leading, Chen Yuan didn't feel respected. So after catching up, he said with considerable backbone: "Don't call me on the road in the future..."

Then, Zhou Fu took out a bag of snacks from her bag. And it was the kind that Chen Yuan loved to eat, according to her observation.

Just like that, looking at the other person.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yuan carried his backbone through to the end, "To give food to someone with a contemptuous look, a person of principles will not accept it."

Then, Zhou Fu took out another bag: "Come, eat."

"Thanks, sis."

This wave looks like I'm compromising to her, surrendering.

But actually, you have to understand one thing, she's the one offering tribute, the one paying the friend fee.

I'm just giving her a way out.

Otherwise, she won't be embarrassed to pay the friend fee in the future.

I really... I'm crying.

"Speaking of which, why do you think Cheng Haiying suddenly befriended Tang Siwen? They're not in the same class, and one is in liberal arts while the other is in science." Zhou Fu was a little confused.

"Maybe she's a lesbian." Chen Yuan said casually.

Hearing this, Zhou Fu's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and she said to Chen Yuan with a look of agreement, "You think so too?"

"Tang Siwen is a lesbian?"

"Of course not, she's very normal, there's definitely no problem with her orientation."

Zhou Fu had thought so a long time ago, so she only muttered to Chen Yuan in a low voice: "It's that Cheng Haiying, she not only looks like a t, but also gives people a bit of a misogynistic feeling... I can't say for sure, no no, that's definitely not it, I take back that word. I just think her feelings towards boys are too cold."

"Tang Siwen is also cold."

"That's the cold of a cold joke."

"Ah, that's true."

Chen Yuan was convinced.

Is this the keenness of a woman who watches gay works towards orientation?

The problem Zhou Fu mentioned was something that Chen Yuan was quite concerned about. So after returning to the classroom, looking at the hot drink placed on Tang Siwen's desk, and the way she was slurping it with a straw, his mood was very subtle.

He himself also felt that Tang Siwen was very straight, and definitely didn't have any lesbian tendencies. After all, when Zhou Fu hugged her just now, she couldn't help but giggle.

But there are so many girls in Cheng Haiying's class, why did she suddenly fall in love with Tang Siwen at first sight?

Oh well, that's love.

There are so many girls in Eleventh High, and isn't he also thinking about Xia Xinyu, who is far away in Fourth High?

So it's not strange.

It's just that if Cheng Haiying not only has a tendency, but actually has that kind of orientation, then Tang Siwen definitely wouldn't agree. For example, Cheng suddenly proposed to kiss her on the mouth, and Tang Siwen quickly waved her hand and politely refused, saying: No, that's too weird...

No, who is this little brat hinting at?

In short, since she's such a girl who knows how to stack armor, she wouldn't hurt Tang Siwen and insist on changing the other person's orientation.

But this is all just his wild guess, maybe it's just a cute and fluffy light Yuri between girls like in Manga Time Kirara...

"Chao-ge, is there really no way to naturalize Chen Yuan?"

"He has Eighteenth Class blood, although not much."

"Think of a way, Sixteenth Class is too buggy... What? He's already played for Fifteenth Class, so there's no way to naturalize him?"

"Class traitors are really hateful!"

Compared to the beautiful girls, looking at those real, ugly, and unconcealed pranksters and trolls, Chen Yuan was about to vomit.

Damn, a bunch of cringe guys!

But fortunately, I was the first person to see the victory settlement screen of Sixteenth Class, hehe.

............

At noon, after the lunch break.

It was time for the highly anticipated competitive feast.

The two teams in the basketball finals will face off in the school gymnasium. And the audience will be all of the second year high school students.

The reason why it's only the second year is because this indoor gymnasium can only accommodate less than two thousand people.

And the first year students have their own games to watch, they don't need this bit of nutrition.

What? Third year?

Fun fact: The definition of a citizen in the Constitution of the People's Republic of China does not include third year high school dogs.

Watch basketball?

I think you look like a basketball!

That's not what I meant...

When it's your turn to be in the third year, you'll be in this miserable state too.

So take advantage of the present to mock them fiercely.

"Cola, potato chips, snacks, popcorn..." He Sijiao bought a lot of snacks, just waiting for this moment.

It could be said that she was being restrained and indulging within limits. The school didn't pursue the behavior of eating snacks and playing on the phone. But now, Lao Mo has said that you can bring food and drinks, so you definitely have to have fun.

"I have chocolate soft candy." Li Youyou took out her things and asked with a smile, "Can I invest?"

"Come on." He Sijiao generously opened the plastic bag, and then Li Youyou put the snacks in.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Fu, who had always been inferior about her family making cakes, finally had a place to use them. She also took out the pastries that her mother had forced her to bring in her bag and put them into the plastic bag: "Let me invest a share too."

"It looks so expensive, as expected of a rich woman!"

"..." Supporting her face, looking at He Sijiao, who looked like she was going camping and setting up a tent, Chen Yuan's expression was subtle.

Girls, they can have a party anytime.

"Hey, you can't freeload if you don't invest." Looking at Chen Yuan's hawk-like gaze, He Sijiao said warily.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Tch, who cares.

Chen Yuan instinctively refused, and then Zhou Fu touched his head and said to He Sijiao with a smile, "Jiaojiao. I brought a child, is that okay?"

"Hey, you!" Chen Yuan felt insulted and pointed at people like a husky.

Then at this time, He Sijiao was still pretending to take notes there: "Zhou Fu paid five hundred, brought a son, remember to send her a red envelope later..."

Chen Yuan got anxious: "If you don't give me a red envelope later, you're my son."

"Aiya, I'm your aunt, you're her son." He Sijiao put her arm around Zhou Fu's shoulder and mocked with a cheap smile.

"Yuan-bao be good, you can't be rude." Zhou Fu also said with a smile.

"..."

What's more terrifying than two bad women?

It's these two bad women forming an alliance!

"Yu-zi, say something about them..."

Chen Yuan was about to pull Zhou Yu in when he suddenly saw this guy raising his head with a serious face, pointing at his forehead and shoulders with his fingers, and finally dunking with one hand... no, he was pointing at the sky, nervously praying to the gods.

"Is there so much pressure?" Chen Yuan saw Zhou Yu so serious for the first time, and felt that the other person's style was different.

There was a feeling of being generous and tragic, as if he would never return once he left.

"I'm not saying anything, I'm going on stage."

Zhou Yu breathed out a heavy breath, and then took the jersey and ran out of the classroom with the representatives of the Eighteenth Class to prepare for this final battle.

"It seems... everyone really wants to win."

Zhou Fu suddenly felt that when boys are handsome... they are really handsome.

Ah no, it should be said that when boys do something, that especially serious and focused appearance, the male charm that is emitted, really has a special feeling.

Although it's a little inappropriate and outrageous to say this, but that day during the timeout, seeing Chen Yuan icing his sprain off the court, and walking onto the court to the cheers of the audience after the timeout, she was really a little moved to tears, and her heart was even pounding.

Because Chen Yuan lifted up his jersey to naturally wipe his sweat... it was very sexy.

Xinyu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just thought about it a little, I wouldn't dare in real life, I swear!

"After all, we've come this far."

He Sijiao rarely didn't joke around, and spoke so understandingly for Zhou Yu.

And when the classmates in the class were all moving to leave the classroom, she carried the snacks in one hand, and took out her phone with the other hand, and opened QQ.

Yesterday, 23:43

He Sijiao: Good luck in tomorrow's game.

Yesterday, 23:54

He Sijiao: I'm going to sleep, the dormitory supervisor is going to catch people using their phones, no need to reply to that message.

Yesterday, 23:58

Zhou Yu: Yeah, I will definitely win!

"Sijiao..."

"Ah? Wha-what's wrong?" He Sijiao hurriedly turned off her phone, squeezed out a smile.

"..." Zhou Fu was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to the snacks and said, "Are they heavy? Let me help you carry them."

"It's okay, let the people who freeload carry them." He Sijiao directly stuffed them into Chen Yuan's hands, and then continued the smile from before.

She shouldn't have seen it, right?

No, even if she did see it, it's nothing.

After all, this is just an ordinary chat between classmates... very normal, especially reasonable!

It's Chen Yuan's kind of 'older male cousin and younger female cousin' that is shameful puppy love.

"Okay, I'll carry them." Chen Yuan acted very calmly, carrying the snacks, "It's good that Sister Jiao's hands are free, so she can cheer for Zhou Yu..."

"Give it to me! I'm afraid you'll steal food!"

He Sijiao snatched the snacks back before Chen Yuan finished speaking.

Damn it, she'll be bullied by this guy for the rest of her life because of this!

Damn it, if you push me, I'll go to He Hongtao and report you for having puppy love with a girl from Fourth High!

She's getting anxious.

Seeing her reaction, Chen Yuan and Zhou Fu looked at each other when He Sijiao wasn't paying attention, and smiled knowingly, everything was understood without saying a word.

And this scene was noticed by Li Youyou.

Zhou Fu and Chen Yuan have a secret about He Sijiao, that she doesn't know at all, like a clove of garlic stuck in an orange, completely an outsider...

Well, that's how it should be.

After all, I've done that kind of thing, sigh.

But when Chen Yuan mentioned Zhou Yu, He Sijiao's sudden change of face...

Could it be that those two?!

......

The basketball finals are about to begin in the indoor stadium.

Before it even started, the second years were basically all in place.

After Zhang Chao discussed it with the English class representative He Meng, they decided to take out some of the class funds to make a cheering banner.

So, half of the Eighteenth Class sat together, stretching out the banner, facing the stadium, quite like they were the home team.

Of course, because there were no fixed seats, the other people were free to disperse and form groups. For example, Tang Siwen found her new playmate Cheng Haiying, and the two of them were on the opposite side of the stands.

And that 47, who should have appeared next to Cheng Haiying, didn't know when he went to the Twenty-sixth Class and was seriously arguing with Li Yuanchen, causing the other person to couldn't help but laugh. Then, 47 became even more serious and angry because he was laughed at.

Damn, if these two appear a few more times, they'll probably overlap.

The progress is really fast.

Chenzi, your child with 47 will have to call me godfather in the future, understand?

"Chen Yuan, are you playing today?" Qiu Meng from the Third Class greeted Chen Yuan proactively when she passed by the aisle.

Chen Yuan shook his head, and then pointed to the Eighteenth Class's audience seats: "Why don't you pick an official partner too."

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Qiu Meng was confused.

"No, just kidding."

"Then are you playing?" Qiu Meng said with considerable anticipation, "There are your female fans in our class, and they even sent you milk tea, they're looking forward to you playing."

"Thanks to the fans." Chen Yuan put his hands together to express gratitude for the gifts that day, and explained, "But there's no way, that sprain ruined my championship dream."

"Okay, that's a pity." Qiu Meng smiled and clenched her fist to cheer him on, "We are allies with the Eighteenth Class, we will cheer for you!"

"Thanks, fam."

"I'm going to the front, bye-bye."

"Yeah, come over and play anytime."

When everyone was basically seated and no one was moving around, the stadium's slightly non-standard Mandarin broadcasting male voice suddenly rang out: "Hello to all the audience members present, the Eleventh High School's annual basketball cup second year finals, now begin. Please welcome the two teams to enter!"

"There's even commentary, so professional!" Zhou Fu felt the atmosphere and said with surprise.

"It didn't seem like this last year." He Sijiao was also a little surprised, "It seems that He Hongtao still attaches great importance to it this time, the stadium has also been cleaned."

"Scoreboard, big screen, and even an army of aunties mopping the floor at halftime..." Tang Jian felt a pity, "If it was this kind of line up, I would have signed up! With a few highlight performances, wouldn't the right to choose a partner come?"

"It's not a pity, if you went, you might not even be able to advance to the finals." The boy next to him said.

"That's true... no, I'll kill you, you rising Dong Xi!"

"They're coming out, they're coming out, so handsome!"

After the entire Eighteenth Class, wearing Rockets jerseys, walked out of the tunnel, He Meng issued a ladylike scream very cooperatively. Then he greeted a few boys to shake the banner vigorously to cheer for the Eighteenth Class.

And the camera also focused on the audience seats at this time, broadcasting the loving students of the Eighteenth Class to the entire stadium.

"Our class is really united." Zhou Fu said with emotion.

"But the Sixteenth Class..." Li Youyou said, looking at those deep black jerseys with some fear, with some of the boys clearly taller than the Eighteenth Class, "Looks really strong."

He Sijiao had also learned about this kind of thing in advance, and then explained to the girls: "Yeah, everyone says that the strongest besides the Twenty-sixth Class is the Sixteenth Class."

"But didn't the Fifteenth Class take down the Twenty-sixth Class?"

"That's because Chen Yuan was there."

"Then Chen Yuan is really amazing."

"Of course..." He Sijiao said halfway, and suddenly realized that the person who was answering her questions was Chen Yuan, this brat, and then punched him, "You're so annoying!"

Sigh...

The animals do not appreciate Chen Yuan.

Without me, could the Eighteenth Class have won this second place?

This is the first all-Chinese class second place for the Eighteenth Class!

Just as the game was about to begin, the school team coach Chu Heng walked over, stood in the aisle, and said, "Chen Yuan, come here for a moment."

Chen Yuan got up, walked over, and stood next to him: "What's up, teacher?"

"Is your foot injury healed?" Chu Heng asked.

"It was just a small sprain, it's nothing."

"Is that so..." Looking at Chen Yuan and finding that he was indeed completely healed, Chu Heng opened his mouth and said, "The school leaders said that the original idea for this final was to have the Sixteenth Class play the Twenty-sixth Class, like last year, and fight until the last five minutes to determine the winner. But unexpectedly, the Twenty-sixth Class was defeated by you alone in the first round..."

"No, is there a behind-the-scenes deal in the cup draw?" Chen Yuan asked in astonishment.

"What behind-the-scenes deal? Basically, everything is fair. And what's wrong with the defending champion and runner-up automatically being in separate zones, isn't that very reasonable?" Chu Heng said without feeling ashamed at all, and then discovered something, "Hey, why did you say 'also'? What are you implying..."

"Those who know, know."

"The gap is too big, the Sixteenth Class also has a first team player, who is a little better than Li Yuanchen." Chu Heng shook his head and said very pessimistically, "It will probably be blown out in the second quarter, and the rest will be garbage time."

"Then why are you looking for me, teacher?"

"To save the game." Chu Heng looked at him and said seriously, "You go on in the third quarter and bring back the atmosphere."

Chen Yuan smiled at his extremely serious proposal.

"What? Can't?"

"Teacher, are you sure that we will lose?" Chen Yuan asked back.

"Yes." Chu Heng said as a matter of course, "Do you think there's any suspense?"

Rationally speaking, there is indeed a gap.

But who could have thought that the wildcard division could overturn the first division?

That's right, how did you know I was talking about VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Masters Madrid EDG 2-0 former world champion Loud?

So, I believe in them so much.

The heart of belief is magic.

"Of course, victory and defeat are still unknown."

Looking at Chu Heng, who was quite puzzled by his reaction and didn't think there was any chance of winning, Chen Yuan showed a confident smile.

This is friendship, courage, the power of hope.

Achieving victory through an upset, implementing the main theme of the kingly shounen manga - passion!

Very good, the game is about to begin.

But it's a game with future vision.

Liu Yan and No. 0 compete for the ball, jumping at the same time!

No. 0 is more skilled, touches the ball first, and passes it to teammate No. 11, Little Irving. After several consecutive direction changes, he shakes off Zhang Chao and Zhou Yu, and when he is about to lay up, he feints and sends it to his team's No. 34 power forward, dunk!

Three and a half seconds into the game, take first blood!

"..."

The smile on his face gradually solidified, Chen Yuan covered his mouth with his hand, lowered his head, and fell into silence.

"The game hasn't started yet." Chu Heng looked at Chen Yuan, who was covering his mouth and shaking his head slightly, in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, my tooth hurts."
