653 Basketball Match
“Xi Xi, do you want to go and watch?” Lin Xiao Tong spoke as she reached Bai Xi Xi’s side. “The boys are inviting Fu Chen to play basketball.” She grabbed Bai Xi Xi’s arm and gave it a gentle shake. “Come on, let’s go and watch them, alright?”
Bai Xi Xi looked at her friend helplessly. Their height differences made her want to pat Lin Xiao Tong’s head, the way that her brother would do it to her when she was still a little kid.
Du Yao Yao reached to her side and spoke, “Xi Xi, let’s go and watch. Everyone is going to watch the match. Aren’t you curious about this newly transferred student?”
At her left, Su You Lin was staring at her expectantly, hoping that she would give them a nod.
She was indeed curious about Fu Chen.
Moreover, from what Fu Chen had said to her a couple of days before, Bai XI Xi could guess that Fu Chen was someone who played basketball.
She wondered if he was good at it.
At the side, her friends continued to persuade her to join everyone else to watch the match. After a while, Bai Xi Xi finally nodded. “Alright then. Let’s go and watch the match together.”
Lin Xiao Tong jumped around happily, thinking that she managed to convince Bai Xi Xi to go with them and join the fun.
.....
With Lin Xiao Tong leading her, Bai Xi Xi followed her friends to the basketball court.
The moment they arrived, there was already a large crowd in front of them.
Bai Xi Xi looked around and noticed that the numbers of girls were more than boys.
“There are too many people around,” Su You Lin said. “Do you think that we can find a seat?”
Du Yao Yao swept her gaze around. “Some of the girls are from the other class. How did they know about this match?” She turned to Su You Lin and continued, “I thought that it was only the boys from our class who were going to play?”
Lin Xiao Tong heaved a long, heavy sigh. “Everyone heard that Fu Chen was going to play and wanted to look at it. It’s not as if you did not know how popular he is in our school. You see? Most of the spectators who came to watch this match are girls.”
Bai Xi Xi nodded, agreeing with Lin Xiao Tong’s words.
It was not that she had not noticed how the girls from the other classes would gather around their class to peek at Fu Chen.
Su You Lin sighed. “Come on. Let’s go and find a seat.”
After a while, the girls finally found an empty spot. However, the view was not as good as the others had snatched all the good spots.
Lin Xiao Tong was complaining that their spot was too far from the basketball court. However, there was nothing else that they can do. They did not expect that there would be a lot of people coming to watch this match.
Bai Xi Xi thought that this spot was perfect for her as she only wanted to watch the match in silence.
However, for a shorter girl like Lin Xiao Tong, it was indeed a little hard for her to watch the match, especially since the other girls were standing up, wanting to cheer for the boys.
If one looked clearly, one would be able to see that the girls who came to cheer for the match were divided into two teams.
One was cheering for the newly transferred student, while another one was cheering for the basketball captain, Jian Chi.
Bai XI Xi’s gaze shifted to the boys on the basketball court.
A few of them were seen warming up.
Fu Chen stood at the side with a few others while listening to his team members’ words.
On another side, Jian Chi and his gang were conducting a small gathering as well.
It seemed that Fu Chen and Jian Chi would be in two different teams.
Bai XI Xi looked at the members of Fu Chen’s team and then, at Jian Chi’s team.
Her lips turned up into a sneer.
Bai Xi Xi had a hunch that Jian Chi’s basketball match invitation to Fu Chen might not seem as simple as everyone thought.
Fu Chen has been in Y City High School for less than a week, but recently, Fu Chen’s popularity had soared up high.
With his looks, Fu Chen managed to climb up to the top spot in the good-looking boys ranking. Two days ago, Bai Xi Xi happened to see the voting poll on the school’s forum and saw that many girls were voting for Fu Chen.
It seemed that he had won the girls’ hearts with his friendliness and good look.
In the past, the person who topped the chart was Jian Chi. Perhaps, Jian Chi became insecure to see another boy topping the chart.
He knew that he was mostly good at basketball and a lot of girls would go and watch him when he was on the basketball court. Therefore, Jian Chi invited Fu Chen to a match, hoping that he could show off to the girls that he was better than the transferred student.
Jian Chi was someone who enjoyed being the center of attraction. Therefore, Bai Xi Xi would not find it strange for Jian Chi to pull a trick such as this.
This match was not fair from the beginning. Perhaps, Jian Chi wanted to embarrass Fu Chen by winning this match with his team.
Bai Xi Xi could already guess the result of this match. Even if Fu Chen was good at basketball, his team had no chance of winning. After all, this sport was all about teamwork. Fu Chen alone could not win against Jian Chen and his team members.
From where she was sitting, Bai Xi Xi could hear that a few girls had come to the same conclusion as hers.
But once the girls saw how Jian Chi was bullying Fu Chen, would they still want to support Jian Chi?
Bai Xi Xi glanced at Jian Chi who seemed quite happy at the side. She could not help thinking that Jian Chi was such an idiot.
