Seeing Wei Yuan standing on the court with a smug expression and hearing more and more women outside screaming his name like infatuated fans, Chang Wei felt increasingly unbalanced. This was not how he had planned things!
He kept signaling to several players from Class 8 of the senior year on the court, but due to the frequency of his gestures, he quickly caught Liu Lei's attention. He immediately stopped signaling, but it only made him appear more conspicuous. However, once the players on the court received his hint, they instantly became energized!
They all understood that they could not let Wei Yuan continue to get the ball; otherwise, all their efforts from the afternoon would be overshadowed by him. The group had a high level of teamwork, and now with their full effort, the score began to rise rapidly. However, the opposing team was not playing poorly; they fought back vigorously and quickly reclaimed a point. But when they advanced with the ball, they found that the last line of defense was none other than Wei Yuan.
No matter how much Chang Wei and the others wanted to prevent Wei Yuan from getting the ball, they were powerless at this moment. Even the player who had possession of the ball couldn’t figure out how he lost it. Wei Yuan was like a firefly in the night; no matter how much Chang Wei and his team tried to cover up his brilliance, it was futile!
Wei Yuan moved like a ghost, swiftly snatching the ball from the opponent's hands. He dribbled a few times and took a shot—another three-pointer! As for whether he committed a foul, that was a professional question that even the referee wanted to know!
“Oh my God! Just play by yourself on the whole court!”
The player who had his ball intercepted by Wei Yuan was furious. He had been watching from the sidelines and knew that this wasn’t just a sudden outburst from Wei Yuan; he was determined to push them to their limits!
After two consecutive matches, Wei Yuan felt his body starting to give in. His team was already leading by over ten points in this final match, and with only seven or eight minutes left, victory seemed assured.
After being intercepted three times by Wei Yuan, the opposing team's morale plummeted; they no longer had the courage to attack and instead tried to play like Wei Yuan by attempting long-range three-pointers, but their shooting percentage was pitifully low.
As the match neared its conclusion, there was little suspense left. Although Wei Yuan had fewer opportunities to get the ball, it did not diminish the support he received from everyone in attendance. In the final seconds, he intercepted another ball mid-air and finished off the game with a long-range three-pointer!
At this moment, noticing something was off with Wei Yuan, Liu Lei and Lan Xue rushed onto the court. However, upon seeing Lan Xue’s anxious expression, Liu Lei quickly slowed down and let her go ahead to support Wei Yuan. The victory for Class 8 naturally brought joy to everyone in their group, while Chang Wei’s expression appeared somewhat unnatural.
Standing next to Lan Xue and Wei Yuan, Liu Lei noticed Chang Wei's demeanor and walked over to ask, “Vice Class Leader, we won the match—aren't you happy?”
Chang Wei also realized that his expression was not very natural and quickly explained, "Of course I'm happy, it's just that I have some personal matters bothering me."
Liu Lei followed up on his words, "Since that's the case, why don't you share what's bothering you so we can all have a good laugh?"
Upon hearing Liu Lei's words, everyone laughed even more, and Chang Wei could only take it as a joke and laugh along.
At this moment, Wei Yuan felt his body gradually becoming weak. It should be because he had just played two games in a row and used up most of his strength. Ever since he forcefully absorbed the Spiritual Energy from Lan Xue's Amulet, the Dark Ink-colored Mist in his mind's Mist-like Space had suddenly increased a lot, resulting in his body being unable to withstand this kind of transformation, causing him to feel weak!
However, the benefits brought by this transformation were also evident. Just now, without any professional basketball training, his three-point shooting accuracy, rebounding speed, and jumping ability were already comparable to those of regular players, which greatly surprised Wei Yuan!
Feeling Wei Yuan's unsteady steps, Lan Xue instinctively wrapped him in her arms. Her intention was to prevent him from falling, but to outsiders, it looked like a reward for her boyfriend winning the game. Many men present began to envy Wei Yuan, though some couldn't help but feel jealous, like Chang Wei and certain fans of the Three-Point Prince!
The game ended around six o'clock. Liu Haisheng drove his Honda Fit and picked up the three of them. When Liu Haisheng stopped the car, Wei Yuan realized that Lan Xue had already arrived home. He knew that Lan Xue's family seemed to have some money but noticed she didn't have a luxury car picking her up; instead, she took the bus to school, which felt like an ordinary wealthy family.
As he saw a standalone villa in front of him, he realized he was mistaken. Lan Xue's family was not just wealthy; their European-style villa resembled a castle nestled among green mountains and waters, mysterious and full of nobility.
Liu Haisheng turned back to look at the dazed Wei Yuan and smiled, "You’re not telling me you didn’t know about Lan Xue’s background?"
"What background? Her family is quite rich, right?"
Liu Haisheng looked defeated by Wei Yuan's ignorance: "Describing them as rich is too ordinary. The Lan Family started with a Pharmaceutical Processing Plant and now owns several large factories. More importantly, they have large chain pharmacies across the country!"
Wei Yuan was stunned by Liu Haisheng's words. He suddenly felt his self-esteem take a hit because compared to Lan Xue's family background, his own family's situation could no longer be described as poor...
Liu Haisheng laughed and said, "I thought you liked Lan Xue back then to gain both wealth and affection, but I underestimated you! However, even if she really accepted you, you wouldn't gain much. Lan Xue's parents passed away over a decade ago, and now the head of the family is the Second Young Master of the Lan Family!"
With his Repairing Ability, Wei Yuan had already earned several tens of thousands by repairing old books through Repairing Discs in less than a month. No one among the student community could compare to him, but after hearing Liu Haisheng's words today, he realized how insignificant his achievements were!
After Liu Haisheng dropped Wei Yuan off at his rented apartment, Wei Yuan lay on his bed tossing and turning. Throughout the process, only that guy from the real estate agency collected three months' rent on behalf of the landlord. The only other person left was Han Ling's Mother. Seeing her worry about her daughter made him feel guilty, so he gave her his phone number.
Who can endure having a wife who earns more than him or comes from a much better family? It creates feelings of inferiority, which is a lingering issue from patriarchal society and also the reason for Wei Yuan's insomnia. Although Lan Xue wasn't even his wife yet—he didn't even have a formal girlfriend—it still didn't stop Wei Yuan from worrying about this issue!
After tossing and turning in bed until two or three in the morning, just when he finally felt a bit drowsy, his phone rang. Wei Yuan realized that his soft-heartedness towards Han Ling's mother had turned into a nightmare. This caring mother called in the middle of the night to ask if her daughter was having trouble sleeping. Wei Yuan could only respond angrily, "Your daughter isn't sleeping in the same bed as me; I don't know if she's sleepless, but now you've made me unable to sleep!"
[This chapter is meant to ignite the fire in Wei Yuan's heart; the protagonist will definitely start to shine. However, urban stories are all about this process, so we need everyone to continue supporting it.]
