"You!"

At this moment, Lin Xiao was at the peak of arrogance! The students watching from the sidelines were infuriated!

This guy had just scored one single goal! What was there to be so smug about!

"Damn it! Just because he's a bit more skilled, what's so great about that!"

The crowd grumbled in dissatisfaction. They indeed wanted to rush up and give Lin Xiao a good beating, but doing so would only make them the laughingstock of the entire Jinling!

"Humph, kiddo, don't say I didn't give you a chance to catch your breath. Look, your backup squad is here, go cry to them."

Lin Xiao relished the disgusted yet helpless looks from the crowd. Watching Ruyu and her group approaching, a slight smile played on his lips as he "pitied" Xu Fan before casually walking off the court.

Considering the direction he was heading, he was probably going to brag to Xia Xiaodie.

"Xu Fan, are you alright?"

Ruyu led the group to Xu Fan's side, glanced at Lin Xiao, and then asked with concern.

Having lost to Lin Xiao in front of so many people, Ruyu feared that Xu Fan couldn't withstand the blow.

"I just asked around a bit. This Lin Xiao, he's a promising basketball player. Even the provincial team has thrown out an olive branch to him, so losing to him is nothing shameful. Please, don't take it to heart."

After comforting Xu Fan, Ruyu sighed continuously.

From here, it seemed Xu Fan was no match for Lin Xiao. She really didn't know how to resolve this trouble...

"Principal, maybe I should go..."

At that moment, Teacher Gong volunteered bravely, and Ruyu was somewhat caught between laughter and tears.

"Teacher Gong, that's impossible..."

A teacher competing against a student? Wouldn't that be a complete joke to outsiders?

Ruyu smiled bitterly and shook her head, inwardly sighing in distress. It seemed this time they were truly going to be embarrassed.

"Beautiful Principal."

Just as she was brooding, Xu Fan looked her way.

Ruyu frowned in confusion and asked, "What's wrong, Xu Fan?"

Xu Fan chuckled and said, "Why do you look so gloomy? The game's not over yet."

"This..."

Indeed, it was a best of three series and only the first round had just ended but what about the next?

Thinking of Lin Xiao's formidable move earlier, Ruyu thought that having an unfinished game was no different from it being over.

"Principal, what if I go ask Shi Lei and the others to come? Although they are injured, they are still better than those who have never played."

At this moment, Teacher Gong made a suggestion, perhaps because Xu Fan had lost the round, which made him look down on Xu Fan somewhat.

Even his tone was somewhat accusatory toward Ruyu for allowing Xu Fan, who was inexperienced, to play at all.

"No, I will go next."

Before Ruyu could make a decision, Xu Fan had already replied to Teacher Gong.

Teacher Gong instinctively wanted to retort, but thinking of Xu Fan's background, he could only let it be.

He thought to himself that today Zijing Middle School's reputation might completely be ruined by this guy.

"Principal, come here; I have something to discuss with you alone."

Xu Fan didn't bother with Teacher Gong; instead, he gestured for Ruyu to come over, pointing to the side.

Although Ruyu was confused, she didn't refuse and immediately followed Xu Fan to the side.

"Xu Fan, is this situation putting too much pressure on you?"

Now that it was just the two of them, Ruyu asked. She thought Xu Fan had called her over probably wanting to figure out a way to end the match quickly so he wouldn't have to embarrass himself any further.

"Not really, but the opponent is quite troublesome."

"Hmm?"

Xu Fan wasn't what she had expected, and Ruyu looked at him questioningly, "Isn't this pressure immense?"

Had this guy forgotten that he just had a goal scored against him by Lin Xiao?

Seeing Ruyu's anxious expression, Xu Fan chuckled and then said, "Actually, there's a way to beat him, but I need some motivation."

"Motivation? Wait."

Ruyu looked at Xu Fan in confusion and asked, "Are you saying you can beat Lin Xiao?"

If that were true, Ruyu would probably jump for joy! As the principal, she naturally didn't want to see her school humiliated by someone from another school.

"Tell me what you need! As long as you can beat this guy, I will meet your requirements!"

Although Xu Fan often seemed nonchalant, he usually came through in crucial moments, and Ruyu placed all her hopes on him now!

If Xu Fan could win, she would meet his demands!

"Hehe, for a guy, motivation is actually quite simple."

Xu Fan looked at Ruyu's expectant face with a cheeky grin, and his intense gaze made Ruyu's cheeks feel a bit hot.

However, when she heard what Xu Fan said next, her face grew even hotter.

"If I win this guy, Beautiful Principal, how about you let me give you a kiss, what do you say?"
