Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If Chu Qing were aware that Zhuo Buqun’s animosity towards him stemmed from his appearance, he couldn’t fathom what he would make of it. He might even resort to self-harm before Zhuo Buqun had a chance to act. Chu Qing certainly wasn’t someone who relied on his looks to earn a living.

Furthermore, Chu Qing found himself discontented with his appearance due to its excessively attractive and refined features. He preferred a more rugged and rough look, but his parents were bestowed with extraordinary genes that made him helpless in this regard.

But then again, if his father wasn’t so good-looking, his mother wouldn’t have disregarded the objections of the family and eloped with his father. Speaking of which, although Chu Qing had asked Ye Chenxi to teach his Second Aunt a lesson last time, this matter definitely wasn’t over. Chu Qing had lived two lives, so he knew the style of that big family too well.

For tonight’s gathering, Zhuo Buqun was the center of attention. Being a busy individual, he engaged with Chu Qing for a brief period before attending to the other guests.

As everyone was nearing the end of their meal, Zhuo Buqun clapped his hands and drew everyone’s attention to him. Then, he said, “I believe everyone knows that our school will hold the sports meet next week. I am preparing to form a men’s basketball team. Is there anyone who wants to participate…”

Zhuo Buqun continued to ramble incessantly, discussing matters that could be described as trivial. His main objective was to establish a precedent at Jinmen First High School by creating a men’s basketball team. This way, he envisioned himself becoming the captain and basking in the limelight.

It should be noted that in the nearly 100-year history of Jinmen First High School, there had never been an actual men’s basketball team. However, there were a fair number of cheerleaders in the school.

Zhuo Buqun’s idea had some merit, but unfortunately, his underlying motive seemed a bit dubious. Chu Qing simply smiled at the proposal and pondered it quietly. As soon as Zhuo Buqun finished speaking, one of his cronies promptly stood up, expressing support and declaring his intention to join the team.

Chu Qing glanced at the male classmate who was wearing bright silver nail polish and almost spat out the lamb he had just eaten. Chu Qing knew that this was normal. He also expressed his understanding, but there was nothing he could do about his instinctive reaction.

Suppressing the urge to not look over, Chu Qing buried his head and ate. In his opinion, eating was the most important thing. Tonight, it was obvious that Zhuo Buqun had self-directed this scene. He had probably contacted someone in private.

Therefore, if nothing went wrong, his male basketball team was a done deal. Chu Qing didn’t pay attention to what happened after that, but he didn’t expect the topic to quickly fall on him again.

Tang Ziyan was the leader of the Student Sports Group at Jinmen First High School. Alright, the Student Sports Group did not exist in his previous life, but it did now. This existence was similar to a club. Its main purpose was to help the school’s sports department manage it.

Therefore, this department would be in charge of the registration for the sports meet. Tang Ziyan had already agreed to Zhuo Buqun’s proposal to form a men’s basketball team. However, at the same time, she also recommended someone to Zhuo Buqun. This person was Chu Qing.

The news of Chu Qing defeating Tang Ziyan on the basketball court that day had long spread throughout the entire high school. How could they bypass Chu Qing when it came to forming a men’s basketball team?

As a matter of fact, Zhuo Buqun had set his sights on Chu Qing, but he was resistant to the idea. Chu Qing, the school belle, was already in the limelight. Moreover, forming a basketball team was Zhuo Buqun’s idea. Therefore, he didn’t want others to steal his thunder, and Chu Qing was absolutely off-limits.

“Chu Qing, I want to form a basketball team. I heard that you are quite good at basketball. Do you want to join my team?” Zhuo Buqun said in a strange tone.

How could Chu Qing not understand what he meant? He sneered in his heart and shook his head. “I’m not interested.”

“Do you think you are better than me?” Before Zhuo Buqun opened his mouth, Tang Ziyan interrupted.

Chu Qing chuckled. He understood what Tang Ziyan meant and immediately denied it. “No, no.”

Chu Qing’s answer was vague. No one knew if he was really not interested or not as good as Tang Ziyan.

In any case, Tang Ziyan frowned and pointed at Zhuo Buqun. “You just said that Chu Qing is good at basketball. So you mean I don’t know how to play?”

Tang Ziyan’s words were filled with arrogance. It was Zhuo Buqun’s mistake for making a slip of the tongue. He intended to diminish Chu Qing but unintentionally offended Tang Ziyan. If Zhuo Buqun were to praise Chu Qing’s basketball skills, how could Tang Ziyan, who had been defeated by Chu Qing, face him?

In this instance, Zhuo Buqun found himself walking right into a trap. He turned red with embarrassment and struggled to find his words. Tang Ziyan grasped the situation and cleared her throat, saying, “Alright, I’m not oblivious. I don’t want to get involved in your personal conflict. However, everyone here today is a classmate. We all belong to Jinmen First High School.”

“This time, Zhuo Buqun, I have no objections if you want to form a men’s basketball team. When the time comes, our school will have the sole men’s basketball team. I’ve heard that Jinmen Second High School seems to have a similar plan. Therefore, unless something unexpected occurs, your team will only face off against the men’s team from Second High.”

“At that time, it won’t be just a competition. It will have a significant impact on our honor and reputation. Therefore, you must aim to win and not lose.. Set aside your differences and disagreements for now, do you understand?”
