When compared to girls, boys were competitive animals. When they heard that there was going to be a competition, they agreed without hesitation.

“Okay, what do you want to compete in?” Xu Zihang was gentlemanly and insisted on his principle of ‘ladies first’.

Song Ye did not hesitate and was waiting for him to jump into the trap that she set. Her gaze looked straight into Xu Zihang’s eyes. “Simple. Whoever wins will be the boss.”

What?

The row of people suddenly stopped in his tracks, and Xu Zihang furrowed his brows. His gaze was especially strange. “Are you serious?”

“I hate joking the most.” Song Ye admitted generously and had a courageous appearance when coming to kick their butts.

Wang Tiechuan was scared until he did not know what to say, but the rest could not hold in their laughter. “Interesting, interesting… Brother Xu, it’s the first time a girl came up to you but not to confess. It seems like Song Ye really doesn’t know your nickname in Third Middle School.”

Xu Zihang was the boss in Third Middle School’s area. He was not only handsome but was also great at basketball. Even though he fought a lot outside, his grades were still the top of the class so the teachers could only turn a blind eye to his actions. The girls were all charmed by him.

He himself had quite a lot of self-confidence. That was why his expression was so strange when he heard Song Ye’s challenge.

Where did this fellow pop up from? She was not only cold but also extremely gutsy.

Facing their confusion and mockery, Song Ye only looked at Xu Zihang silently. “Do you dare?”

The nonchalant three words made all of them shut their mouths for no reason as the atmosphere went stiff.

Did he dare? Xu Zihang raised his eyebrows as if he heard a joke. His lips curved upwards. “Okay. If you lose… you have to promise me something.” After all, he was already the boss so—to make it fair—he should have something else in exchange.

Song Ye did not notice the flirtatious feelings between a boy and a girl so she nodded in agreement.

The other people made faces at each other and did not take it to heart as all of them were wondering what kind of conditions their boss would come up with. After all, they were a hundred percent confident that Xu Zihang would win.

There was a basketball court near Third Middle School that was not too big. Usually, it was used by people in and outside of school; the facilities looked a little old.

When they entered the court, there were a few people playing ball. All came up to greet Xu Zihang politely once they saw him, taking the initiative to let him use the place. It was obvious that the reputation of Third Middle School’s boss was pretty famous outside.

The boys prepared to go on the court as they each took off their thick sweaters and started doing warm-up exercises, but Song Ye only turned her wrists and ankles at a side. Her sweater was wrapped tightly until her skin could not breathe. Others who did not know would think that they brought a young punk to watch the match.

When they were about to go on court, the audience gasped in surprise. “Hey, look at this atmosphere. Is that punk going against Brother Xu? Both of them are standing in the center.”

After splitting groups, it was a four-versus-four match on court. Just that the scene of Xu Zihang, who was above 1.7 meters, going against Song Ye, who was 1.65 meters, looked a little comical. In everyone’s eyes, this was a match where the outcome was obvious.

“Let’s start.” The moment the ball was thrown into the air, two shadows rose on the floor. Both of them raised their hands towards the sky, shocking everyone with their speed.

Based on his height advantage, Xu Zihang took the ball first; and his big build was very agile in midair. He turned to Song Ye’s side and directly went for the basketball board. Everyone knew this common sense when playing basketball in Third Middle School, and that was when the basketball landed in Xu Zihang’s hands, there was no logic of it going out.
