Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

After Chen Jianji finished speaking.

He jogged away from the scene.

While the referee went to retrieve the ball, they took advantage of the moment.

He quickly ran to a group of people on the side.

This is the location of Class 3 of Senior Three, right next to the court, without even having to cross the line.

"Brother Ji, you're so handsome!!"

"Chan Kin-kei, you're pretty impressive!"

"I haven't seen you play in a long time, I thought you'd forgotten how."

Both boys and girls teased Chen Jianji as he walked over.

He smiled and nodded to each of them, finally looking at Zhang Xinyi, who was turning her face away and remaining silent.

This young lady didn't cheer for him either.

Chan Kin-kei always remembered that he had searched for ways to alleviate depression.

It means opening your heart and connecting with the people and things around you.

What could be more appropriate than now?

Having survived a life of crime and death, Chan Kin-kei, now reborn, is even more adept at it than in his previous life.

"Zhang, I can't make the free throws later without your help!"

Chen Jianji walked up to her, his eyes smiling.

The eyes of everyone around seemed to be on the two of them.

Zhang Xinyi paused, feeling a little embarrassed, and lowered her head slightly.

He was about to turn his head and give Chen Jianji a fierce glare.

But in the instant I turned around, I discovered...

The boy had a bright smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to be full of starlight.

Zhang Xinyi's expression froze, as if she had forgotten even her embarrassment and anger.

She moved her lips as if she wanted to speak, but no sound came out.

Just then.

Beep!

The referee's whistle blew not far away.

"Blue team player number 23, get ready to come over for the free throw! Five seconds later, you'll be considered to have forfeited!"

Chen Jianji shouted.

"Quickly, have some water!"

The words fell.

Having previously promised to provide water, Pan Shuqi, who was in charge of the athletes' supplies, handed over her own water.

Here, take it.

But at that moment, Zhang Xinyi subconsciously placed her water in front of Chen Jianji.

Both of them saw each other's movements almost simultaneously and froze for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jianji casually took the water bottle from Pan Shuqi, turned it on, and gulped down several mouthfuls.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Xinyi's eyes darkened almost imperceptibly, and she shrank her hand holding the water closer to her chest.

Available in the next second.

She felt a pair of large, warm hands patting her head.

Zhang Xinyi paused and looked up slightly, only to meet Chen Jianji's smiling eyes.

"You can drink your water after I win."

As he spoke, he turned around, waved his hand, and shouted.

"Remember to cheer me on! I can't win without your support!"

His voice was loud and clear.

People around Zhang Xinyi started to jeer.

"Oh~~~ Xinyi! I can't win without you~~~"

Sitting next to Zhang Xinyi, Wang Jiaqi teased her in a different tone.

Hearing the teasing around her, Zhang Xinyi's initially low spirits vanished, and her cheeks grew increasingly red.

So much so that she couldn't utter a single word of encouragement, her face turning bright red.

Damn it!

You can tell me secretly why you had to do it in public!

Zhang Xinyi forced herself to remain calm, a forced smile appearing on her lips.

"He...he was just joking...don't take it seriously..."

...

Everyone was playing around with Zhang Xinyi.

Sitting in a corner, Liu Yun looked around anxiously.

"Has Qingxue not arrived yet?"

She muttered to herself while looking at her phone.

Qingxue, have you come back to school?

[We're at Field 3. Chen Jianji has come on, can you see him?]

Why aren't you responding? I can't get through on the phone either.

...

Every message I send seems to disappear without a trace.

Liu Yun gripped her phone tightly, finally unable to resist digging up Lin Qingxue's number again and dialing it.

One sound... two sounds...

suddenly.

Despite the noisy surroundings, Liu Yun seemed to hear a familiar telephone ringing not far behind her.

She turned around abruptly.

A tall figure stood quietly in the corner behind the crowd.

Her pale face was still slightly white, and her hair seemed to be stuck together with sweat, clinging to her face and fair neck.

He was still panting, but his eyes remained fixed on Zhang Xinyi, who was being teased by everyone.

Liu Yun stood there, stunned.

Qingxue...she's here!

She raised her hand and exclaimed in surprise.

"clear..."

But before she could finish speaking...

Beep!

The referee's whistle rang out from not far away.

Everyone immediately looked over.

Even Lin Qingxue finally stiffened and shifted her gaze.

......

on the field.

Chen Jianji stood outside the free throw line.

He held the ball, but wasn't in a hurry to shoot.

My gaze drifted to the side of the court, to where Zhang Xinyi was.

The latter felt his gaze.

His cheeks immediately tightened.

He kept clenching the water bottle in his hand.

One second... two seconds...

Zhang Xinyi took a deep breath, seemingly having finally made up her mind.

She raised the water bottle and shouted as if she were going all out.

"come on!"

Her tense yet clear voice echoed through the silent audience.

Almost everyone looked over.

Zhang Xinyi quickly lowered her head and hugged her head with both hands.

I wish I could disappear into a crack!

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Jianji's lips curled up slightly.

well.

The society finally died.

So, what's next?

It's his turn.

Chen Jianji slowly raised his eyes and looked at the basketball hoop in the distance.

He held the ball in his hand and then stretched out his arm for a standard shot.

Swish!

The crisp sound of the basketball falling into the net rang out.

"Oh ho!!!"

The crowd immediately erupted in cheers.

The scoreboard in the center of the field is flipped over.

[Red Team: 30 vs Blue Team: 15!]

In less than a minute, they caught up by three points!

Chen Jianji raised his hand and waved it slightly mockingly at Zhang Xinyi, who was huddled up in an awkward ball in the audience.

"Good job, Brother Ji! Let's keep going!"

Wang Li also jogged over, his face beaming.

"Alright! Prepare for defense."

Chen Jianji clapped hands with him, and then each of them faced off against the player they needed to defend.

But at this moment.

Chen Jianji vaguely sensed a burning yet inexplicable gaze fixed on him from behind.

He suddenly turned his head and glanced at the audience.

Soon, a familiar figure was spotted in the far corner.

The man's cheeks were slightly pale, and he seemed to be breathing slightly, but his eyes were colder than usual.

she is...

Lin Qingxue.
