Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

As far as the eye could see, the "pink five-person group" led by Bei Yao walked to the center of the arena.

The jersey is pink.

Sneakers, pink.

The headband was pink.

From a distance, it exudes a youthful charm.

He Ziyu suspected he was hallucinating, and without even bothering to wipe his clothes, he quickly rubbed his eyes.

Nothing has changed, except the pink is even more dazzling.

"Are they crazy? Why are they dressed like that?" Jing Ran looked shocked, and when her gaze swept over the tall Bei Yao, she couldn't help but shiver. "...Don't tell me this is some kind of unexpected cuteness."

Bei Yao is very tall and has a rather muscular build. When he wears pink, he looks out of place in a way that's hard to describe.

Jiang Chengyu, on the other hand, seemed much more normal.

Jiang Chengyu has naturally fair skin and can pull off clothes of all colors. Wearing this bright pink doesn't make him look darker; instead, it makes him look even fairer.

So white it reflects light.

He Ziyu looked at the shining young man in the center of the arena, and couldn't help but smile.

His brother Yu was indeed dazzling, radiant, and... so, no matter where he was.

"Ahhh, is the student council president looking at me?"

"Bullshit, wasn't he looking at me?"

"How could it be you? Get out of here!"

"Hey, you little bitch, don't push me..."

The two best friends who were just exchanging pleasantries about touching up each other's makeup and fixing each other's hair suddenly started fighting, seemingly determined to knock each other off the stands.

Seeing the two hot-tempered sisters about to tear each other's clothes, He Ziyu couldn't hold back any longer. He rolled up his banner into a stick and placed it between the two of them, saying quietly, "Stop fighting, he's looking at me."

The two girls froze, turning their heads simultaneously to look at He Ziyu.

"I'm his buddy, here to cheer him on," He Ziyu said, raising his arm above his head and making a heart shape with his hands towards Jiang Chengyu, who was warming up. "Go, Yu-ge!"

Seeing this, Jiang Chengyu smiled and gave him a heart shape with her hands.

The camera happened to capture this moment and projected the image onto the large screen inside the venue, instantly creating another wave of excitement.

"You two ladies have such exquisite makeup today, it would be such a waste to ruin it. Here, have two lollipops to calm you down." He Ziyu took out two lollipops from Jingran's treasure box and handed them over. "Since you're so cute, I'll reveal a secret. Actually, Jiang Chengyu likes gentle girls, like Tai Si... Hey, you might not know Tai Si, but you should have heard of Guan Ju, right? 'Guan Guan cry the ospreys on the river's islet, a fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman.'"

The two girls' big eyes were full of question marks.

"A gentleman appreciates a lady, and Jiang Chengyu is no exception." After saying this, He Ziyu blinked. "This is all I can do to help you."

Jing Ran, standing nearby: "..."

This lie was told without even being thought of.

There are so many lovely ladies at No. 8 Middle School, but I haven't seen Jiang Chengyu like any of them.

Sometimes he even wondered if Jiang Chengyu was sexually frigid.

The two girls were silent for a few seconds, then put on expressions of gratitude.

"Handsome, thank you."

"You are the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva, our second parents."

He Ziyu: "..."

After He Ziyu's "tips," the sisters immediately quieted down and their posture became exceptionally upright.

Jingran, biting on the straw, slowly gave He Ziyu a thumbs-up, the word "admiration" clearly written on her face.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Bei Yao: "Brother, this isn't appropriate."

Jiang Chengyu: "Hmm?"

Bei Yao: "You two have both shown off on the big screen."

Jiang Chengyu turned his head and, sure enough, saw his handsome...and slightly flushed face on the camera.

He quickly looked away.

You can do it too.

"what?"

"Jingran is here too, isn't he?"

Bei Yao paused for half a second before realizing that Jiang Chengyu meant for him to interact with Jing Ran as well.

But the problem is...

"He doesn't have time to look at me."

In the stands, Jingran finished eating potato chips, then tore open a bag of peanuts and started playing a game of "tossing them up and catching them with her mouth".

Bei Yao: "..."

The waters of West Lake, like the tears of a radiant sun.

He Ziyu mentioned at the stadium last time that Jingran liked pink, and he remembered it well. When he got back, he suggested changing the team uniform.

At first, Lan Yuan and his group disagreed, claiming that blue was the symbol of the No. 8 Middle School team and should not be changed easily. However, in such matters, the minority should obey the majority. After a round of voting, those who advocated changing the team uniform actually accounted for more than half.

Left with no other choice, Lan Yuan had to compromise.

However, despite calling it a compromise, they were still wearing their old team uniforms today.

Bei Yao didn't care, since his goal was Jing Ran, and as long as his entire group was adorable, that was enough.

Soon after, Lan Yuan led the "Deep Sea Team" to the stage.

Lan Yuan's female fans stood up and cheered, but they were outnumbered and their voices were quickly drowned out by the others.

He Ziyu felt a bit nauseous, so he simply lowered his head and wiped his clothes.

After wiping the clothes, I turned around and found Jingran was still eating.

"Xiao Jing," He Ziyu said, pressing down on his hand, which was itching to throw more peanuts, "it's time to unfurl the banner."

Jingran dusted off his hands and asked, "If I'm holding up the banner, who's recording it?"

"We can help with the recording!" the girl in the front row said with a smile. "We sit in the first row, so the recording will be clearer."

"Okay, then please send me the video after the match."

"Mmm, no problem!" The girl nodded vigorously, her smile practically reaching the sky.

Sending a video means adding each other on WeChat. Once you've added Jiang Chengyu's friend on WeChat, how could you possibly not get Jiang Chengyu's WeChat?

Of course, it's okay if I don't get it, anyway, the guy behind me is pretty handsome, hehe. (¯﹃¯)

Jingran reluctantly pulled up the banner and held it in front of her eyes, fiddling with the edge of the cloth and whistling, but she wouldn't look at the field.

It's not that I don't want to watch, it's that I'm afraid to watch.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like Bei Yao was always staring at him. It was a strange feeling that reminded him of the melodramatic scenes in idol dramas where the male lead searches for the female lead in the stands.

He didn't want to stare deeply into Bei Yao's eyes; it would look weird.

After the warm-up, the referee announced the start of the match.

The two center forwards came out to jump for the ball.

Jingran quietly moved the banner down a little, revealing her eyes.

With just one glance, their eyes met.

Holy crap, is this guy crazy? The game's already started and he's still staring in this direction!!

Jing Ran felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Just as he was about to raise the banner again, he saw that tall figure slightly bend his knees towards him, tilt his head, and make a heart shape with his hands.

Holy crap...

This damn contrast is so cute, it's terrifying!

"Wow, Senior Beiyao is making a heart shape with his hands for us!"

"This time it should be a competition against us, right?"

The two sisters, who were "accidentally" targeted, are once again immersed in happiness.

Fortunately, the two did not fight this time.

With a whistle from the referee, the ball was tossed into the air, and the Lightning's center seized the initiative, passing the ball to Gu Wang.

Gu Wang was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, he dribbled the ball to the vicinity of the opponent's net, and a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted on the court.

However, Lan Yuan on the other side was prepared.

Being on the same basketball team, he knew his teammates' playing styles all too well.

Although Gu Wang was fast, his shot was not steady enough. After jumping, the ball hit the backboard and was intercepted by Lan Yuan.

Lan Yuan smoothly dribbled the ball back to midfield.

Jiang Chengyu quickly intercepted him and maneuvered against him in midfield.

Liu Wen, who was located diagonally behind Jiang Chengyu, was a little anxious.

He wasn't afraid of anything else, but he was afraid of Lan Yuan holding onto the ball and not letting go. It was his old problem, and he had made a mistake once in the league before. Although it didn't have any serious consequences, his teammates were still wary.

After a brief stalemate, Lan Yuan, realizing it wouldn't work, reluctantly passed the ball to Liu Wen.

Liu Wen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the good times did not last long.

Gu Wang had somehow gotten close to Liu Wen. Liu Wen was worried about losing the ball and wanted to pass it, but he found Bei Yao blocking his way from behind. After hesitating for a while, he had no choice but to get up and jump shoot.

To my utter surprise, the shot actually went in.

With the beautiful sound of the basketball going through the net, Liu Wen scored his first two-pointer of the game.

"Brother Wen is awesome!"

His teammate bumped his shoulder with him.

Although they only got two points, it was still a good start, and everyone on the Deep Sea team was very happy, except for Lan Yuan.

He felt he shouldn't have passed the ball; if he hadn't, he might have made a three-pointer.

……

At the end of the first half, the Lightning trailed the Deep by 8 points.

But Lan Yuan wasn't very happy.

Today, Liu Wen seemed to have some incredible luck; not only did he make every shot, but he also consistently managed to steal the ball. Meanwhile, he was either getting rebounds stolen by Bei Yao or having the ball intercepted by Jiang Chengyu.

This completely disrupted his plans.

He had boasted that He Ziyu would pursue him again within a month, but with the month almost up, there had been no progress. Out of desperation, he could only pin his hopes on this ball game.

He Ziyu initially became a fan of his because he watched him play basketball.

Lan Yuan felt that if he could perform well in this competition, He Ziyu might take notice of him again.

In the locker room, the members of Team Lightning sat together to rest.

Contrary to expectations, these people did not show any frustration despite being behind in the score; on the contrary, they were all full of fighting spirit.

Bei Yao wiped his sweat with a towel, preparing to make some strategic adjustments for the second half of the game, when a familiar figure suddenly flashed in through the door.

"Hello, did I disturb your rest?" He Ziyu leaned against the door frame and peeked inside.

Bei Yao was a little surprised. "Oh, Young Master He, how did you get in?"

"The guy at the gate is from the student council, he knows me." He Ziyu said as he walked up to the group, handing out chilled mineral water while casually reassuring them, "Actually, you guys played very well. Although you made a few mistakes, it was still quite exciting overall. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves."

He knew this match was very important for Bei Yao, and he would definitely feel uncomfortable losing to Lan Yuan.

"Jingran asked me to give this to you," He Ziyu said, taking a lollipop out of his pocket and handing it over. "He said eating candy helps relieve sadness."

Bei Yao paused slightly, took the lollipop, and struggled to suppress a laugh. "So you're here to comfort us?"

He Ziyu nodded, without denying it.

The locker room was quiet for a few seconds, the atmosphere was a little strange. Just as He Ziyu was wondering if he had said something wrong, Gu Wangxian couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh no, no, his expression is too serious, it makes me want to laugh..."

He Ziyu: "???"

Jiang Chengyu couldn't bear to see He Ziyu kept in the dark, so he simply leaned over, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him to his side.

"Here, let me show you something."
