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

Swish!Swish!

Both free throws went in.

"Gege is awesome!"

"come on!"

...

A cheer erupted from the crowd.

Chen Jianji also quickly left the free throw line.

They still have possession of the ball and need to kick off quickly.

Everyone, take your positions.

Preparing for the next round of attacks.

If someone observes closely, they will notice that Chan Kin-kei's movements are no longer as agile as they were at the beginning.

Instead, it became somewhat heavy, and the reaction was a beat slower.

Chen Jianji took a deep breath.

He was also aware of his own condition.

Fortunately, basketball is a team sport.

He wasn't the only one fighting.

"call..."

Chen Jianji had just caught his breath, supporting himself on his knees.

Finally, she stood up and looked up, only to see Huang Wenhao standing before her as if he had arrived as promised.

His eyes kept scanning back and forth between Wang Li dribbling the ball not far away and Chen Jianji.

Obviously.

The Blue Team has only managed to close the gap so much thanks to Chen Jianji's presence on the court.

Huang Wenhao knew very well.

Even if Chan Kin-kei is injured.

The ball must be given to him.

as predicted.

Wang Li feinted to the left and right in front of the player defending him.

A pass from the center, and the basketball was powerfully thrown out in a beautiful arc, flying straight towards us.

Huang Wenhao's eyes lit up; he had been waiting for this moment.

With Chen Jianji currently injured, even with interventions, his reaction time and explosive power are not as fast as Chen Jianji's.

He intercepted the ball!

Huang Wenhao reached out and used his strong arm to brace against Chen Jianji's body.

As long as he can steal the ball, no one on the Blue Team can stop him now!

The basketball reflected in Huang Wenhao's eyes was getting closer and closer.

A smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

He stretched his hand out even straighter, trying to grasp the basketball that came hurtling through the air with a thunderous sound.

Just as they were about to touch each other.

Boom!

A dull thud was heard.

Huang Wenhao's entire body froze instantly.

The basketball passed just an inch past his palm.

But it is like a chasm, making it impossible to advance even an inch.

Bang!

The sound of a basketball hitting the ground rang out.

at the same time.

Beep!

The referee blew a sharp whistle.

"Blue team player number 23, foul!"

As the referee's voice echoed.

The once bustling stadium suddenly fell silent.

Huang Wenhao's face was stiff as he felt a sharp pain in his lower back and abdomen.

He slowly lowered his head.

All that could be seen was a person's elbow slowly leaving his waist.

Huang Wenhao followed the arm and slowly raised his eyes.

They met a pair of eyes that didn't convey a smile.

"Oops, sorry, I was trying to steal the ball, but I bumped into you."

Chen Jianji looked at Huang Wenhao with undisguised mockery on his face.

He has several years of fitness experience and can elbow specific areas of the waist without leaving any aftereffects.

But it will take at least half a day to recover.

I felt waves of cramping pain coming from my lower back and abdomen.

Huang Wenhao finally couldn't hold back any longer, clutching his stomach and squatting on the ground in pain.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on Chen Jianji.

"You...bastard! You fucking did that on purpose!"

Chen Jianji leaned down and whispered in Huang Wenhao's ear, his smile blatantly wicked.

"Now, do you remember what kind of person I am?"

"Want to cripple me? You'd better think twice about your abilities."

As he spoke, he patted the other person on the shoulder.

"Let's go down and calm down first. Just watch how we win in the next few minutes."

Huang Wenhao's eyes turned bloodshot, but the pain in his waist and abdomen made him gasp and unable to speak.

At this time.

The referee has already run over.

Chen Jianji then slowly stood up, feigning innocence but actually looking incredibly irritating as he shrugged.

"Teacher, I didn't mean to. You can watch the replay."

The referee was speechless.

Replay?

By the time we finished watching, it was already dark. Are you suggesting that waiting for your foul call would postpone the game by a day?

Sudden.

Huang Wenhao behind him had caught his breath a little.

All I could hear was his hoarse shout, his voice throbbing like a bellows with a hole in it.

"He...lies! He did it on purpose!"

Upon hearing this, the referee glanced down at him.

Under Huang Wenhao's bloodshot yet expectant gaze.

The referee seemed to have determined that his injury was not serious and finally spoke.

"It's so obvious, everyone knows he's doing it on purpose, do you need to tell me?"

The referee said, looking back at Chen Jianji and sternly reprimanding him.

"You guys are playing a game, not playing pranks."

"With so many people watching, is this appropriate?!"

Listening to Chen Jianji being criticized by the teacher.

Huang Wenhao's eyes immediately lit up with joy.

But before he could be happy for long...

Beep!

After the referee finished speaking, he blew the whistle.

The sound echoed through the stadium.

"Basketball player number 23, flagrant foul, do it again, same thing, immediate ejection!"

These words were spoken.

Huang Wenhao's smile froze on his face. He tried to force himself to get up and continue shouting.

"No, teacher, you should just make him withdraw..."

But halfway through his sentence, the referee, who had already taken a few steps, turned back.

That cold look made Huang Wenhao abruptly stop talking.

It also reminded him that he himself had committed a malicious foul earlier, but had not been ejected from the game.

The referee's punishment in this round was fair and just.

And this time.

After being reprimanded, Chen Jianji also looked over.

He chuckled softly, a sound that, even in the summer heat, sent a chill down Huang Wenhao's spine.

"Don't rush things, this is just the beginning."

"We'll settle our score later."

Done.

Chen Jianji didn't notice Huang Wenhao's unpleasant expression.

Having been given a second chance at life, he wants to get his hands on someone.

It's much easier than when I was young and impetuous.

......

in the audience.

"Cool, that was great!"

"That foul was totally worth it!"

"I've disliked number 37 for a long time!"

...

As the crowd applauded and cheered, they couldn't help but start discussing it.

"By the way, wasn't this a case of Brother Ji settling a personal score on official business?"

"What do you mean 'counts'? It's obvious! I saw him with my own eyes take advantage of the red team's number 37 not paying attention and deliver a powerful elbow strike!"

"Ugh... that tangy smell, just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt."

"So what? He messed with Brother Ji. Brother Ji always settles scores on the spot. Everyone in our senior year knows that."

"That's not entirely true. There have been people who bullied Brother Ji for a long time, and nothing happened to them, right?"

"Huh? Are there really people like that?"

"Oh!!! You mean...?"

...

The conversation that had been going on suddenly fell silent.

It seemed everyone was looking towards a corner on the sidelines of the field.

There.

A figure stood silently in place.

She watched what was happening on the court.

I don't know if it was from the discussions around them, or something else.

She lowered her eyes, her pupils gradually losing focus, as if lost in thought.

At that moment, the wind lifted a corner of her school uniform.

The wind also stirred her long hair, which she hadn't tied up since this morning, for some reason.

......
