Senior Sister, Shut Up!

Just a few minutes before the game ended, some people entered the gymnasium. Upon seeing Jiang Miao and his group, they walked over.

“The three guys are my roommates. Sit beside Wang Xin later.” Xun Liang led his sister Zhou Qin over and pointed at the seat beside Wang Xin. He introduced her to the group. “This is my sister. She’s here to watch my match.”

“Hello.” Zhou Qin was already a third-year student at Zhejiang University. She looked at the seven people sitting down, her eyes mainly on the three boys.

The three roommates looked pretty good. Her expression was calm as she nodded in satisfaction, greeting them casually.

After a brief introduction, Zhou Qin and Xun Liang sat down together.

In the row of nine people, Sun Yumeng was sitting in the middle, completely oblivious to the unusual atmosphere around her as she watched the game with great interest.

Unknownst to her, she was already surrounded by four pairs.

Before long, the basketball game of the Department of Foreign Languages ended, and the students of Accounting Class 2 began arriving on the scene one after another.

When the girls saw their class assistant, Senior Sister Su, here, they gathered around, taking seats a few rows behind.

“Which boys from our class are competing?”

The girls, who had hardly paid attention to the basketball tournament before, were now chattering animatedly.

“I only recognize a few faces, but I can’t remember their names. There’s one called Xun Liang that’s easy to remember.”

“And there’s Jiang Miao, the really handsome one!”

“Are you in heat? Why are you so excited?”

“Tsk~ Who was it that watched his game last time and wanted to add him on WeChat?”

“Seriously? Did you flirt with him?”

“No! Don’t talk nonsense! It’s just to make friends~”

“Jiang Miao is really handsome~ He should still be single, right?”Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

“That’s not certain. Look, isn’t the class monitor sitting beside him?”

“Haha~ Why don’t you say Senior Sister Su is sitting beside him?”

“Maybe he still doesn’t have a girlfriend? Handsome guys probably have higher standards.”

“Qiqi, do you want to give it a try?”

“No, stop saying nonsense.”

“Don’t act coy. I saw you added him on WeChat.”

“I added all my classmates on WeChat. Don’t overthink it!”

The playful banter of the girls occasionally floated over from the back rows.

Jiang Miao was holding his phone, chatting in the reader group chats, not paying much attention to the conversations around him.

But Su Huaizhou pouted, and her hand sneaked over to pinch Junior Brother’s waist.

Ow…” Jiang Miao was baffled. He turned to Senior Sister with a puzzled expression. “What’s wrong, Senior Sister?”

“Did some girls add you on WeChat before?” she asked softly, her tone laced with jealousy.

“?” His face was full of question marks. “It’s just classmates adding each other on WeChat. I haven’t talked with them much.”

“So you have chatted a bit?”

“I can’t just ignore them when they send a message, right?” Jiang Miao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He asked softly, “Senior Sister, are you jealous?”

“No way!” Su Huaizhou stepped on his foot and turned her head away, ignoring him.

With so many people around, they couldn’t mess around too much, lest innocent bystanders get splashed with dog food.

After a while, the simple award ceremony of the Department of Foreign Languages ended. Next was the basketball game of the Department of Accounting.

Most of the students from Accounting Class 2 had come and gathered in the seats nearby.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xun Liang stood up and shouted at the boys, “Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s change into our jerseys first!”

Thus, Jiang Miao and the other three competing boys stood up and followed Xun Liang into the locker room.

As the finals approached, everyone felt a little nervous. Even the two brothers wearing jerseys Numbers 4 and 5, who had been slacking off, were trembling slightly.

On the other hand, Brother Monkey in jersey Number 1 and Xun Liang in jersey Number 8 were eager, discussing tactics while stretching to warm up.

Only Jiang Miao felt indifferent. He changed into his white jersey with the Number 12 and stretched lazily, yawning. So tired.

Early this morning, he had been dragged into the office by Senior Sister and drained, managing to write 6,000 words in one go.

Previously, with the beautiful Senior Sister by his side, he could stay energized. But now that he was away from her, he felt his head getting heavy.

He really wanted to take a good nap.

After changing into their jerseys, the five of them headed towards the basketball court.

On the way, Xun Liang felt the urge to pee, and Jiang Miao happened to need to go too, so the two of them went to the restroom together.

When they passed a small corridor beside the restroom, Xun Liang instinctively glanced over and was stunned to see a man and woman hugging and kissing.

Xun Liang: “???”

Noticing his strange expression, Jiang Miao followed his gaze and immediately had an amused look in his eyes.

The tall, broad-shouldered boy wearing a dark blue jersey appeared to be one of the players from the Financial Management 1 and 2 team they were about to face.

Without looking further, the two entered the restroom.

While relieving himself, Xun Liang grumbled, “Is there no end to this? It’s bad enough being bombarded with dog food by you three in the stands, but it’s even being stuffed down my throat in the restroom.”

Jiang Miao stifled a laugh and teased, “See? Your nickname suits you perfectly. Just following you here, I suffered collateral damage.”

“Fuck! Brother Jiang, you’re bullying me again!” Xun Liang protested indignantly. “We’re on the same team. Shouldn’t you comfort my injured heart?”

“Yeah. Look at that guy. He was making out with his girlfriend before the game. I heard kissing uses up a lot of energy, so that’s an advantage for us,” Jiang Miao comforted.

Xun Liang: “???”

Is that how you comfort someone?

It would’ve been better not to say anything.

He felt even worse now.

After finishing up and washing their hands, the two left the restroom.

When they passed the small corridor again, both onstinctively glanced over.

The couple was still at it, hugging and gnawing at each other even after a few minutes.

This time, their positions had changed. The girl was now being pressed against the wall as the guy kissed her.

Noticing people nearby, the girl quickly pushed the boy away. She blushed and buried her face in the boy’s chest.

The boy turned his head and saw the two onlookers at the other end of the corridor.

“What are you looking at? Never seen people kiss?” he snapped with a scowl. Then, noticing their jerseys, he waved dismissively and said, “I’ll crush you guys later, so can you get lost now and stop being in the way?”

“Fuck…” Xun Liang was furious.

However, Jiang Miao had already grabbed him and pulled him back towards the basketball court.

But before leaving, Jiang Miao kindly reminded, “Bro, there’s a camera in that corner. You might want to kiss somewhere else.”

A small gasp from the girl echoed down the corridor.

But it had nothing to do with the two of them.

“So what if you have a girlfriend…” Xun Liang mumbled indignantly as Jiang Miao pulled him back to the basketball court.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Miao teased, “Why don’t you just give in to your sister? With her looks, wouldn’t she crush that guy’s girlfriend?”

“Easy for you to say.” Xun Liang rolled his eyes at him. “I don’t have that kind of relationship with her.”

After they returned to the court, both teams were warming up, stretching their legs, running a bit, or shooting hoops to get a feel for the ball.

At this moment, the boy who had been making out with his girlfriend in the corridor also entered the court. As he walked towards his team, he even glared at Jiang Miao and Xun Liang.

Xun Liang glared back without backing down.

But after seeing the Number 8 on the boy’s jersey, he suddenly remembered. “Isn’t that guy their team’s center?”

“The one in the corridor?” Jiang Miao asked, then laughed. “That’s perfect. Dog, teach him a lesson.”

In any case, he intended to slack off, so stirring up some trouble would be quite entertaining.

“Hmph. See how your Grandpa Xun suppresses him,” Xun Liang said proudly. He had watched the semifinals, and the opponent’s center hadn’t performed as well as he did, so he felt pretty confident.

“Go for it, Grandpa Dog!”

Xun Liang felt a toothache when he heard this nickname. He really wanted to smash the basketball in his hand onto his roommate’s head.

Because there was still plenty of time left in the afternoon, the game was scheduled to start at 3:20 p.m.

With three quarters lasting ten minutes each, plus a five-minute break in between each quarter, the total game time would be forty minutes, wrapping up right around four o’clock.

It was just a little past three o’clock, so they still had plenty of time to warm up.

Jiang Miao and Xun Liang chatted while taking shots, warming their hands.

Jiang Miao particularly enjoyed bank shots. Watching the basketball hit the backboard and rebound into the basket exactly as he envisioned gave him immense satisfaction.

Especially from the 45-degree angle, which was his best shooting position.

Standing at this angle, even if he was shooting from the three-point line, he felt confident about making at least half of his shots.

Of course, this was under the condition that no one was guarding him.

If someone were guarding him, his accuracy would drop.

Just as Jiang Miao was casually shooting at the 45-degree angle, a gust of wind suddenly swept past him.

The next second, a blue figure effortlessly snatched the basketball from his hand, then made a graceful layup, smoothly sending the basketball into the net.

“Sorry, my hands got a bit itchy.” The tall and lean boy in the Number 11 blue jersey smiled and tossed the ball back to Jiang Miao. Then he returned to his side of the court, looking refreshed, and joined his teammates, chatting and laughing with them.

Jiang Miao blinked, holding the basketball and looking back at Number 11. Before he could say anything, Xun Liang could no longer stand it.

“Brother Jiang, if I were you, I wouldn’t let that slide!” Xun Liang exclaimed. “Shouldn’t we give them a taste of their own medicine?!”

“… I’m not getting anxious. Why are you?” Jiang Miao rolled his eyes at him, stepped back to the three-point line, and shot the ball.

The ball traced an exquisite arc through the air, hit the backboard, and bounced perfectly into the net.

Instead of retrieving the ball, he took out his phone from his pocket and documented the material from earlier—the corridor incident and the villain’s mockery.

How interesting.

The people he usually met were polite, and he had never seen anyone truly shameless before.

But now, two had come right in front of him.

Jiang Miao’s skill in portraying villains had always been lacking, primarily because he had grown up in a good environment and had a good temper, making it rare to get into arguments with others.

Especially after he started writing, he would have welcomed a bit of mocking from one so that he could get material.

Unfortunately, things rarely went as planned. Maybe it was because of his good looks.

As for getting angry?

Jiang Miao didn’t feel it at all.

He only felt it was childish that Number 11 ran all the way here to steal the ball.

How exhausting was it to run up and down the entire court?

He looked around the court and mused that if he had to run back and forth four or five times, he would probably be worn out.

While Jiang Miao didn’t mind, Su Huaizhou in the stands did.

Seeing the opposing player run over to steal from her boyfriend made her seethe with anger.

But as a senior sister, she couldn’t lose her composure, so she forced herself to endure it.

After all, even though quite a few people knew about her relationship with Junior Brother, most of Accounting Class 2 still didn’t.

If their relationship suddenly became public in front of everyone, Su Huaizhou would feel so embarrassed.

She was everyone’s class assistant, but she had gotten together with the most handsome junior brother in Accounting Class 2.

Especially at this moment, she kept overhearing the chatter from the girls behind her. Most of them were talking about how Jiang Miao looked even more handsome in his white jersey, making Su Huaizhou feel even more embarrassed.

Even if their relationship really became public, it would be best if it spread privately.

Revealing it in a public setting like this was too much of a test for her nerves.

However, Su Huaizhou was clever. She looked at Jiang Miao on the court, pursed her lips, and said to Sun Yumeng, “Yumeng, could you organize the classmates later to cheer them on?”

Sun Yumeng was momentarily taken aback before nodding. “Okay, no problem, Senior Sister. But how should we cheer? Just shout their names?”

“It’s simple. Just shout the names of the five boys and then cheer for Accounting Class 2,” Su Huaizhou said. “Here, I’ll show you.”

While they discussed cheering in the stands, the time gradually approached 3:20 p.m.

The referee entered the court and called over both teams to sign their names on the roster for confirmation.

When around four minutes were left, the referee instructed everyone to put away their belongings and gather at center court. He briefly explained what to take note of and prepared to start the game.

At this moment, Su Huaizhou stood up in the stands, turned to face the students in the back rows, clapped her hands to get their attention, and earnestly proposed, “The game is about to start, so let’s cheer for our participating classmates together.

“Listen to my and Yumeng’s commands. When we shout, everyone copy us, okay?”

“No problem, Senior Sister!” the girls replied.

“Yumeng, I’ll demonstrate the first cheer. You can take over the rest, alright?” Su Huaizhou asked Sun Yumeng.

“Okay!” Sun Yumeng nodded vigorously.

A happy, cunning smile appeared on Su Huaizhou’s face as she turned back to face the basketball court.

Looking at Jiang Miao, who was standing at center court, she took a deep breath, cupped her hands around her mouth like a small horn, and shouted, “Go, Jiang Miao, go!!!”

As soon as her cheer sounded, Jiang Miao felt a jolt and looked at the stands.

The next second, his gaze landed on Senior Sister’s sweetly smiling and slightly flushed face.

In an instant, Jiang Miao felt his previously lazy body ignite with renewed energy.
