Oh no! I've only been a freshman and I've already been targeted by a mean upperclassman.

All eyes were on this spot.

The boys, sweating profusely on the basketball court, stopped playing.

The girls who had been chattering on the sidelines held their breath.

Everyone stared at the girl who had descended like a queen, and at the boy in front of her, the center of attention.

Yan Xi's eyes were fixed on Li Chen, not anyone else.

She handed over the bottle of mineral water; the cap had already been loosened.

"Drink water."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable sense of command.

Li Chen smiled and took it.

"Thanks."

He tilted his head back and gulped down several large mouthfuls.

Glistening water droplets slid down his sexy Adam's apple and disappeared into his sweat-soaked collar.

Under the sunlight, the boy's well-defined profile and the slightly bobbing Adam's apple created a striking image.

The girls on the sidelines let out a suppressed gasp.

Yan Xi looked at him, her eyes flickering slightly.

After he finished drinking, she took out the clean towel and, quite naturally, stood on tiptoe to wipe the sweat from his forehead and cheeks.

Her movements were very light and gentle.

His gaze was so focused that it seemed as if he were the only person left in the world.

This scene dealt a devastating blow to the single people around them.

"Holy crap! What did I just see?"

"Is this a live-action idol drama?"

"Who's that woman? She's so beautiful! And she has such a strong presence!"

"Yan Xi, the most beautiful girl in the architecture department and the student council president! You don't even know her?"

"Holy crap! So his girlfriend is Senior Yan Xi! No wonder he looked down on everyone else!"

"My god, this couple is so adorable! Their looks are divine!"

Wang Qiang and Zhao Zixuan exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of pride in each other's eyes, a sense of "my son has grown up."

"Look, look at that aura of an empress!" Wang Qiang exclaimed in admiration.

"One look was enough to captivate the entire audience," Zhao Zixuan echoed.

Chen Mo adjusted his glasses and calmly added.

"This is a typical 'territorial marking' behavior, asserting sovereignty by displaying intimacy in public, thereby deterring potential competitors."

"Efficient and precise."

After wiping Li Chen's sweat, Yan Xi also straightened his slightly disheveled collar.

"Have you rested well?" she asked.

"Mm." Li Chen nodded.

"Then let's continue." Yan Xi's tone was calm. "Don't lose too badly."

"Don't worry," Li Chen smiled. "The word 'lose' doesn't exist in my dictionary."

"That would be for the best," Yan Xi glanced at him. "If we lose..."

"What if we lose?"

Yan Xi leaned close to his ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"I'll sleep on the sofa tonight."

Li Chen's body froze instantly.

He looked at the fleeting sly smile on Yan Xi's lips and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

This woman is really...

She knows how to manipulate him perfectly.

The second half of the game has begun.

Li Chen was like he'd been injected with adrenaline, his performance even more explosive than in the first half.

Breakthrough, pass, steal, block...

He is almost omnipotent.

Every point scored was met with thunderous cheers from the sidelines.

Yan Xi stood quietly on the sidelines.

She didn't scream or shout like the other girls.

I just watched quietly.

But her gaze, from beginning to end, was fixed only on him.

That look in his eyes seemed to say something.

Look, that man who shines on the court, unstoppable by anyone.

its mine.

The match ended with Li Chen's team winning by a large margin.

The moment the final whistle blew, Wang Qiang and Zhao Zixuan excitedly rushed up and hugged Li Chen tightly.

"The Fierce God is awesome!"

"That's incredible! He's inhuman!"

The girls on the sidelines gathered around again, but this time, they didn't dare to hand out water directly like before.

Because the powerful "Empress" was still standing there.

After celebrating with his teammates, Li Chen pushed through the crowd and walked up to Yan Xi.

"I didn't disappoint you, Your Majesty, did I?" he asked with a smile, beads of sweat still clinging to his forehead.

Yan Xi didn't say anything, but simply reached out and used the towel to wipe his sweat again.

Then, in front of everyone, she naturally took his arm.

"Let's go."

"Where to?"

"Let's eat." Yan Xi's tone was matter-of-fact. "You've sweated so much, aren't you hungry?"

"Hungry." Li Chen nodded honestly.

"That's obvious."

Yan Xi linked arms with him and, amidst the envious and jealous gazes of everyone present, turned and left.

From beginning to end, she didn't give anyone around her a single extra glance.

It was as if the world could hold no one else but the man beside her.

After the two left, the basketball court returned to its noisy state.

"I'm so jealous, I'm really jealous."

"When will I be able to have a fairytale romance?"

"Don't even think about it. First, you need to have Li Shen's face, and second, you need to have a girlfriend on Yan Xi's level."

"Forget it, I'll just go back to playing games."

Wang Qiang watched the two figures leave, filled with mixed emotions.

"Tsk tsk, this display of affection is truly... outrageous."

Zhao Zixuan nodded in deep agreement.

"I've made up my mind. Tonight, I'll channel my grief and anger into my appetite and give the third brother a good beating."

Chen Mo adjusted his glasses and calmly took out his phone.

"I have already filtered out all the restaurants with an average price of over 500 yuan per person on Dianping."

"And I just sent the link to our dorm group chat."

Li Chen replied instantly in the group chat.

Wang Qiang and Zhao Zixuan exchanged a glance and spoke in unison.

"Come!"
