In contrast, Lu Yichen, with his cool countenance, still looked fresh and clean even though he had sweat till the back of his shirt was soaked.

Han Qiqing stood up. She held onto the railing and peeked out, looking at Lu Yichen worriedly.

However, the basketball coach was holding a meeting with the team, and she didn't dare to interrupt them.

After the coach had finished speaking, he let the team go back in to rest.

Anyway, there was a 15-minute break between the halves.

As the team trickled back in, Han Qiqing hurriedly leaned outwards and shouted to Lu Yichen, "Lu Yichen, are you alright?"

Lu Yichen's teammate elbowed him teasingly. "Someone's concerned about you."

Lu Yichen was wiping his face with a towel as he looked up at her. "I'm fine," he answered mildly.

After that, he turned his gaze to Mu Xiaoxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him and pumped a fist into the air. "All the best!"

Lu Yichen smiled and nodded. "Okay."

The next half of the match was even more intense.

Han Qiqing looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, her face displeased. "Look at those people from Second High. They all look so fierce. They look like they're out to fight, not play."

"Yeah, I think so too." Mu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.

While the both of them were talking, they didn't realize the Second High team members looking over at them.

Everyone had witnessed how Lu Yichen had protect Mu Xiaoxiao earlier.

Thus, they knew that Mu Xiaoxiao must be someone who was really important to him.

The students from Second High were oblivious to her relationship with Yin Shaojie and naturally just assumed that Mu Xiaoxiao was probably Lu Yichen's girlfriend.

On the court, the two teams were engaged in a fervent match.

The team from Second High exchanged glances with one another. When the basketball shot up, a person suddenly jumped up and hit it out of the court forcefully.

Lu Yichen's gaze had always been on the ball. When he realized who the ball was heading towards, his gaze wavered.

"Xiaoxiao — "

However, it was too late.

Han Qiqing was frozen to the spot in fear. She grasped Mu Xiaoxiao's hand tightly and could only watch as the basketball flew towards Mu Xiaoxiao at lightning speed.

Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the basketball. She was so scared that she only had time to close her eyes.

"Slam!" A booming noise resounded.

Just as the entire stadium was holding their breath, the basketball was hit back to the court and bounced on the ground.

"Wa — It's Young Master Jie!"

The pain Mu Xiaoxiao had expected didn't come to her, but instead, she heard this shout. She opened her eyes suddenly and was greeted by Yin Shaojie's face right in front of hers.

Uh… He looked very displeased.

Yin Shaojie didn't only look displeased but green with fury!

Mu Xiaoxiao met his dark gaze and felt safe and protected. It was only then that she felt her fear, and a wet film began to form in her eyes.

"Didn't you say that you weren't coming?" she said aggressively as though she was complaining about him.

Yin Shaojie's lips twitched as he sneered. "May I not come just because I said that I wouldn't? Does your family own this stadium?"

Mu Xiaoxiao pouted in response.

Yeah, yeah, she knew his family owned this stadium.

She reached out and tried to pull him to her, but he seemed to avoid her hand purposely, causing her to grasp at air.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt even worse. "Are you angry?"

"No," Yin Shaojie replied quickly, but he seemed really cold.
