On the first day of school, the school beauty in black stockings took me to a hotel.

Du Peng waved his hand dismissively: "Five servings of each, please!"

"Can you finish it?" Li Ning questioned.

"Who do you think you are! I burned at least 5,000 calories in training today; I could eat a whole cow!"

As it turns out, Du Peng wasn't exaggerating.

As soon as the barbecue was served, ten pairs of chopsticks pounced on it like hungry tigers, and the scene briefly spiraled out of control.

Su Wanqing, Wang Qian, and Jiang Shan sat at another table, watching the whirlwind of food being eaten, and exchanged bewildered glances.

Wang Qian whispered, "Now I believe they are really tired."

Jiang Shan: "The way they eat... it's like they haven't eaten in eight hundred years."

Su Wanqing smiled and said, "Being able to eat is a blessing. Look how adorable my Emperor is when he eats."

Wang Qian and Jiang Shan rolled their eyes at the same time.

"It's hopeless," Wang Qian sighed.

"It's completely hopeless," Jiang Shan echoed.

Halfway through the meal, Du Peng suddenly remembered something: "By the way, sister-in-law, when will our team uniforms arrive?"

"It should be done in the next few days. I've already followed up with them, and the manufacturer said they're working hard to finish production."

"What style is it? Is it really a Shohoku team uniform?" Wang Hao asked.

"Yes, red and white color scheme, and the number will be the one you provided. However, the 'Su's Real Estate' logo will be printed on the back."

Du Peng didn't care: "Print it then! Even if it says 'Exclusively for Sister-in-Law' on it, I'll still wear it!"

Liu Yu glanced at him: "You wish. That's mine."

"Yo yo yo!" the crowd cheered.

Su Wanqing kicked Liu Yu under the table: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Liu Yu remained unfazed: "To be honest, you're my girlfriend, so of course you belong to me."

Su Wanqing leaned closer to Liu Yu and lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, you've become quite skilled lately. Who taught you?"

"Self-taught. Eat more, you've lost weight."

"I've gained five pounds!"

"Where have you gotten fat? Let me see."

"Liu Yu!"

The two were bickering, while the people around them buried themselves in their food.

This training regimen lasted for more than a week.

Every day from 3 pm to 6 pm, without fail.

Coach Zheng's training plan is very scientific, progressing step by step from physical fitness to technique, from individual to team training.

Everyone's progress is also very obvious.

At least now, running fifteen laps won't be excruciating, passing errors have decreased significantly, and while tactical coordination is still somewhat raw, its basic form is already visible.

Su Wanqing and her two companions came every day, becoming the regular support staff for the Class 103 basketball team.

Handing out water and towels, Wang Qian occasionally also acts as a psychological counselor, mainly for Du Peng's needs. He often makes mistakes during training because he's too eager to perform, and then he starts to doubt his life.

"Qian'er, do you think I'm not suited to play basketball?"

Why do you think that way?

"I keep making mistakes... traveling on layups, passing out of bounds, airballs... I'm just a burden!"

"Who said that! Du Peng, do you know what Coach Zheng says about you in private?"

"How so?"

"He said that although your skills are rough, your enthusiasm is the highest on the team, and you fight the hardest for every ball. Basketball is not just about skills, but also about attitude. Your spirit of fighting for every ball is exactly what the team needs."

"Really?" Du Peng asked, half believing it.

Wang Qian patted his shoulder, "Why would I lie to you? Besides, if you really weren't capable, would Liu Yu have made you the team leader?"

Du Peng thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

"So don't underestimate yourself. You are Sakuragi Hanamichi."

Du Peng was moved to tears: "Qian'er! From now on, just watch how well I treat you!"

"Alright, alright, stop being so mushy. Go take a shower, you smell all sweaty."

Du Peng ran off happily.

Su Wanqing, watching from the side, was dumbfounded: "Wang Qian, when did you become so good at comforting people?"

"There's no other way. With such a large team, we have to bring along all sorts of 'children'."

Jiang Shan chuckled: "You two really sound like team managers!"

"Of course. We're both professionals," they said in unison.

A few days later, the team uniforms finally arrived.

That afternoon, before training, Su Wanqing dragged a large suitcase to the gymnasium.

"Come here, everyone! The team uniforms have arrived!"

Ten people immediately surrounded them.

The box was opened, and inside were ten sets of basketball uniforms neatly folded.

The top is white with red trim, and the word "SHOHOKU" is printed in large letters on the chest. The back has the number and the "Su's Real Estate" logo.

Du Peng picked up his own jersey, number 10, Sakuragi Hanamichi's number.

"Holy crap! That's so cool!"

He eagerly unfolded it, holding it in front of him and gesturing: "How is it? Doesn't it look like Sakuragi Hanamichi?"

Li Ning nodded: "Like, like Sakuragi Hanamichi... his brother, Sakuragi Hanapura."

"Get lost!" Du Peng kicked him.

Others also found their numbers.

Liu Yu picked up the number 14 jersey, Mitsui Hisashi's number.

The jersey is of very good quality, the fabric is breathable and soft, and the fit is also very good.

Su Wanqing looked at him expectantly: "Try it on and see if it fits."

Liu Yu didn't hesitate and immediately took off his outer garment and put on his jersey.

He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, which makes him look even more upright when he wears a basketball uniform.

The white jersey made his skin look even whiter, and the red trim added a touch of vitality.

Wang Qian couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow... Liu Yu, it's a shame you're not a model!"

Jiang Shan nodded, "He really is handsome. Wanqing, you have great taste."

Su Wanqing didn't speak, but looked at Liu Yu with her eyes crinkling, her gaze full of pride.

Liu Yu was a little embarrassed: "It's alright."

Du Peng leaned closer: "What do you mean 'not bad'! Boss, you're absolutely stunning! If I were a girl, I'd definitely chase after you!"

Li Ning said quietly, "You can pursue her now, but you have to ask your sister-in-law if she agrees first."

Su Wanqing immediately replied, "I agree, as long as you can beat me."

Du Peng immediately backed down: "Then forget it... I've seen my sister-in-law's fighting prowess firsthand."

The others also changed into their jerseys one after another.

张春李的5号，李宁的6号，王浩的11号（流川枫）、赵志伟的4号（赤木刚宪）、李轩的12号、蔡远的7号（宫城良田）、秦昊宇的13号、方北辰的66号，这哥们儿非要选个吉利数字，说是「六六大顺」。

Ten people stood in a row, all wearing the same red and white Shohoku team uniforms, with the four large characters "Su's Real Estate" on the back standing out prominently.

Su Wanqing took out her phone: "Come on, let's take a picture!"

The ten people struck various poses: Du Peng imitated Sakuragi Hanamichi, hands on hips, laughing heartily; Liu Yu mimicked Mitsui Hisashi's shooting posture; and Wang Hao held a basketball with a cool and aloof expression...

"Snap!"

The photo freezes in time.

Later, this photo became a classic promotional photo for Class 103 and circulated on the campus forum for a long time with the title: "Su's Real Estate Sponsors the Team, Xiangbei Army Descends on Tsinghua and Peking Universities".

Coach Zheng walked in and was taken aback by the scene: "The equipment is in place."

Du Peng exclaimed excitedly, "Coach! How is it? Handsome, right?"

"Looking good isn't important, what matters is winning. Put on your sneakers, let's play full-court competition today."

With the new equipment, everyone's enthusiasm soared to unprecedented levels, and they trained with extra effort.

"Clothes really do make the man," Wang Qian remarked.

Su Wanqing looked at the crowd on the court: "It's not entirely thanks to the clothes. They genuinely love basketball."
