Samsara Online Chapter 92 Dispute

The gym was quite crowded. Although there was still a lot of free s.p.a.ce considering the total dimension of the gym, after taking a quick look around, Xie Feng estimated that the number of people was maybe a thousand or two thousand students.

Not understanding what was going on, Xie Feng approached one of the students near the entrance and asked, "Excuse me, do you know what is going on here?".

The student looked at Xie Feng and was momentarily surprised, but quickly replied, "Didn't you hear the princ.i.p.al's announcement on the loudspeakers in your cla.s.s?".

Xie Feng smiled bitterly, "My cla.s.s had a free study hour, so I wasn't in the room at the time? So I don't know what's going on".

The male student smiled knowingly. "I understand... Well, 'study time off' hours are usually used to escape from the cla.s.sroom haha".

Xie Feng did not respond and simply smiled slightly.

As he looked back at the center of the basketball court, the student responded, "As for your previous question... What happened is that, as you probably know, the regional basketball tournament will soon begin and our university team will naturally partic.i.p.ate. Therefore, they spend most of their time training".

Xie Feng nodded. In fact, the prefectural basketball tournament will soon begin, and the top two places will be able to compete for a ticket to the national tournament. The best team in the country will represent China in the international student tournament.

The student continued: "The problem seems to be that these senior students arrived on the court not long ago and saw the reserve members of the basketball team lazing around. Also, the regular team was nowhere to be seen, so they took to the court to play.

Then the reserve team started to protest, but that long-haired guy who looks like a woman told them to go to h.e.l.l. As you know, the basketball team can't cause any problems or they will be automatically disqualified from the tournament. Therefore, the reserve team talked about it with the princ.i.p.al. Because some people had witnessed everything, the princ.i.p.al knew that the basketball team was to blame, since they were not using the court. It's just that they really needed to train for the tournament, so the princ.i.p.al announced that this group of students would play a game against the basketball team. The winning team will be allowed to use the court and the loser will leave without saying a word.

Although it seems fair, what the princ.i.p.al did is no different than sending those senior students to a fire pit. After all, they are facing our university's official team... By the way, those guys also said they were waiting for someone, so the game hasn't started yet".

Apparently, this student liked to talk a lot as he described everything that happened in so much detail that Xie Feng could imagine the scene developing in front of him. The student even clarified that Yue Kai told the basketball team to go to h.e.l.l.

As for who they were waiting for... It was undoubtedly him.

"d.a.m.n, these guys want to drag me down with them".

Although Xie Feng was complaining in words, his actions demonstrated something else, as, under the surprised gaze of the previous student, he began to walk towards the court. After all, what kind of friend would he be if he left his cla.s.smate's behind?

At the same time, in the stands.

"Still, I am surprised and glad that Miss Shen Xinya wants to study at our university". Said the princ.i.p.al.

Contrary to her playful behavior when alone with Yin Yue, Shen Xinya, who was still covering her face, politely replied, "You need not be surprised, Princ.i.p.al. When I visited my family in Hong Kong some time ago, my mother advised me to take a break from the entertainment industry and after thinking about it for a whole month, I decided that I wanted to enjoy university life. On the other hand, Shanghai University does not lose in the least with Beijing University, so there is nothing surprising in my decision, don't you think?".

Hearing Shen Xinya's intelligent response, Yin Yue could not help but nod slightly and give her a glance of appreciation.

Although Shen Xinya is like a little devil, she knows how and when to act in such a way. With her previous comment, she not only explained her motive and reason for deciding to study at Shanghai University but she also indirectly praised the facilities of the place and teaching methods.

Indeed, as the highest authority of the place, the princ.i.p.al had an ear-to-ear smile on his face when he responded:

"Hahaha... Just those words from the most famous superstar of the entire Asian continent are enough to make me smile all day long. Don't worry about anything, I will personally take care of the paperwork, and Miss Shen, you can start studying here whenever you want".

Shen Xinya was about to say thank you, but she saw someone entering the court and unconsciously whispered, "Uh? Isn't that the big bad wolf?".

"Eh?, Miss Shen, you said something?", asked the confused princ.i.p.al.

"Mm? I said that I am very grateful for the kindness and goodwill of Shanghai University towards me". Shen Xinya responded with a natural glance on her beautiful face.

"Hahaha... it's nothing, it's nothing." The princ.i.p.al nodded with a smile.

Meanwhile, Yin Yue covered her face with one hand and almost fell from her seat. She clearly heard what Shen Xinya had said.

Students and teachers entered the gym in real time.

As he approached the center of the field, Xie Feng was stunned by the sight of the army gathering.

He couldn't help but think: 'This is really all happening for something so simple, or did the highest authority in China come to visit?'.

But then he remembered that the highest authority in China is Gu Qianxue's father, so he doesn't think that old man would come here considering how busy he is.

When Xie Feng entered the court, the two groups that seemed to be discussing something also noticed it. Therefore, when he approached, Yue Kai was the first to talk:

"Yo! big brother Xie, the whole Shanghai university was waiting for you. How does it feel to be a celebrity?".

A vein of anger grew and popped up around Xie Feng's neck, "Yue Kai... I suddenly feel like beating you up".

*Cough*

Yue Kai coughed awkwardly and looked to Hu Chen for help.

Hu Chen stepped forward and patted Xie Feng on the shoulder, "Give up, Xie Feng. The water has already spilled, we have to make an effort to clean it up. No matter how much we complain, what's done is done".

"*Sigh*... So, who's playing? Yue Kai, Hu Chen, Xiao Luo, Zhu Zhihao, Qian Luoyang, Du Shun, and me. In total, we are seven people but we only need five on the court... So two of us will have to go out and play as reserves". As he looked at three friends and three cla.s.smates, Xie Feng asked the key question.

The six looked at each other and Xie Feng noticed that none of them wanted to leave. But this is also normal, after all, as young adults, they would think that everyone present would look bad at them if they obediently withdrew from the game.

Xie Feng sighed to himself. Things like this make him realize the difference in mentality between him and other men his age.

"All right, I'll go out and when one of you thinks you have had enough, you can change with me. Xiao Luo, come with me to chat on the bench, while you tell me how your work has gone". Said Xie Feng, not caring if others see him with disdain or not.

Xiao Luo naturally nodded. He was the only one of the six who didn't have too much trouble, as his mentality is quite simple. For that reason, Xie Feng chose him, as the others would probably not accept it willingly.

After hesitating for a moment, Hu Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, you two, we'll beat these smug guys up first and then let you play".

Xie Feng looked at the opposing team and saw that they seemed to be making fun. Without saying anything and under the gaze of thousands of people, he and Xiao Luo walked off the court and sat down to the side.

Xie Feng watched as the referee entered the court. The reserve basketball team wore sportswear as did Yue Kai's team and the rest.

Apparently, they received them before he arrived here.

The difference was that the uniform used by the reserve team was white and red, that of Yue Kai's team was black and blue.

Xiao Luo sat next to Xie Feng and asked, "Big brother Xie, who do you think will win?".

Xie Feng looked at him for a moment and then turned his gaze to the court. It didn't even take him two seconds to respond. He shook his head and said, "Even though the opposing team is only our university's reserve team, they are still part of the basketball team for a reason, don't you think?"

Although Xie Feng did not say it directly, Xiao Luo understood what he meant.

Simply put, Xie Feng does not believe that his cla.s.smates can win. This is not about mistrust, it is just that Xie Feng can put emotions aside and think things through rationally.

Xiao Luo wanted to say something but after thinking about it, he decided that the wisest thing would be to observe the game a little before giving his opinion.

Instead of saying unmatured and unfounded words, he preferred to stay in silence.

"The game is starting".
