Love So Sweet

715 To be Called an Old Man

The sound of the whistle blowing marked the end of the second match.

Fu Chen turned to look at the scoreboard with his chest heaving heavily. Seeing the final score stunned him for a long time. He was still having a hard time believing that it was true.

A slap on his shoulder snapped him into reality.

Fu Chen looked up only to see that Yan Li and the boys were smiling brightly at him.

“Fu Chen,” Yan Li spoke his name. “We won!”

His eyes glinted. Fu Chen looked at the final score once again before the corner of his lips tilted up into a brilliant smile.

Yes. In the first match, their team won with a high score.

Their team had worked hard for it and the result was really something else. From the result, it can be shown that their team had beaten their opponent to a pulp!

The cheering sound was quite loud.

.....

It seemed that there were a lot of viewers coming over to watch them after they made their first score. Initially, the basketball match did not attract this many people.

A few of them only came when they heard that the newly transferred student and Bai Xi Xi were on the team. Later, everyone stayed around because they liked how their teamwork.

Moreover, everyone was impressed that Bai Xi Xi’s skills did not seem so bad.

However, Fu Chen knew that Bai Xi Xi had held herself back too much. This time, Bai Xi Xi only stayed on the basketball court to let himself and the others shine. She wanted to let others know that his skill was good enough to join the basketball team.

Fu Chen swept his gaze around the place until he finally found Bai Xi Xi. The teenage girl stood at the side with a faint smile on her face. Although they were farther away, Fu Chen could still see the glint in her eyes.

Bai Xi Xi too was happy that their team had won.

Seeing that Yan Li was waving his hand at her, Bai Xi Xi finally joined the boys to celebrate their winning together.

As soon as they left the basketball court, Lin Xiao Tong and the girls rushed over to give them some bottles of drinking water. However, before they could reach the team, a few other girls had already rushed over to their side, wanting to let them drink from the bottles they bought instead.

Each member of the team had won some fans just from their performance.

Fu Chen looked at the crowd around them and saw that a sunny, teenage boy was handing over a bottle to Bai Xi Xi.

The scene in front of him turned his heart sour.

It was then that Fu Chen realized that Bai Xi Xi was such a pretty girl. It would be impossible if someone like her did not have any fans, right?

Fortunately, Bai Xi Xi did not accept them. After declining his bottle politely, Bai Xi Xi turned to Lin Xiao Tong and took the bottle from her instead.

Subconsciously, the corner of Fu Chen’s lips lit up.

“These guys just got lucky.”

Hearing the familiar voice made Fu Chen look up.

At the side, Yang Xu and his team were watching them with an unhappy looks in their eyes. The group of boys has been watching the match from the beginning.

After the first break, Yang Xu could see his team was starting to panic. However, he tried to keep everyone calm, telling them that the only reason Fu Chen and his team were able to perform well was that their opponent was worst than them.

It was only then that the others felt more at ease.

Fu Chen pursed his lips into a thin line, knowing that the real match will start soon. Regarding Yang Xu’s provocation, Fu Chen decided that he did not want to comment on them.

He can show them the result during their match later.

Initially, Fu Chen might not have that much confidence to play a match against the basketball team. However, seeing the teamwork from his team made him change his mind.

Fu Chen finally had his confidence and felt that it was possible for them to win.

The teachers allowed them to have some rest.

Fu Chen gathered his team at the side and saw that everyone still had a happy smile on their faces. “Everyone, we have done so well for the first match. We can do it again and win against the basketball team!”

While Fu Chen had his confidence, the other members’ confidence began to fall when they heard that their next opponent was the basketball team.

“Alright, let’s just do it as we did just now,” Bai Xi Xi said. “It doesn’t matter who our opponent is. We have to stick to our rhythm. Even if we are going to lose, let’s not lose too badly.”

Bai Xi Xi’s words finally made everyone feel at ease.

Seeing that the group was gathered at the side, Lin Xiao Tong and the girls came over to give everyone moral support.

Fu Chen’s gaze turned warmer when he looked at Bai Xi Xi.

However, he soon began to worry again.

His team members looked quite tired after their first match. Fu Chen was worried that everyone will be able to hold it during their next match.

Thinking about it, it would be better if they were in the first match. This way, his team would be able to rest a little longer.

Fu Chen did not have a long time to think of this matter.

Soon, it was announced that the next match will be starting soon.

As everyone began to make their way to the basketball court, Bai Xi Xi walked over to Fu Chen and spoke in a low voice, “Fu Chen, you need to stop worrying too much like an old man.”

Her words rendered him speechless.

To be called an old man, especially by Bai Xi Xi did not make him feel good.
