When Hao Ren and Xie Yujia walked out of the room, they found the guys from their class were crowding at the doorway.

“Ok! Everyone, let’s go meet in the hall!” Xie Yujia raised her arm.

Today she dressed up to cheer for East Ocean University’s basketball team. She didn’t put on any makeup, but her skin looked more delicate and smooth than the girls who had spent hours on make-up.

At her call, everyone walked into the hall to check out.

With a name list in her hand, Xie Yujia collected the room keys and checked out for them. Her excellent organization skills showed that she would be an excellent housewife in the future.

After the check-out, she made sure no one had forgotten stuff in their rooms before leading the group to the bus going to Sanmu University.

The group was as lively as the day before, but everyone felt that Xie Yujia was happier.

“Women look quite different when they are in love.”

“I wish I had pursued Xie Yujia. She isn’t such a great challenge after all!”

“She’s Ren’s girlfriend now. She is gorgeous!”

“She’s just an innocent girl who was easily won by Ren’s sweet talk…”

The guys talked among themselves on the bus. Everyone could see Xie Yujia was in an excellent mood today without a trace of the melancholy she had had the day before.

The bus arrived at the main gate of Sanmu University, and Xie Yujia led them off the bus. The primary purpose of their trip to Xinan City was to cheer for East Ocean University’s basketball team.

Zhou Liren had his regrets. Before the trip, he had planned to go to the Teachers’ University, the Arts Program, and the Music Program to see pretty girls. But he played cards last night with his buddies in the hotel room until 3 am. When he woke up, it was already 11 am, with absolutely no time for him to go and see pretty girls.

The stadium of Sanmu University was not far from the main gate. Since the guys were hungry, Xie Yujia led them to the school cafeteria for food.

When they were eating, the guys heard the guys from Sanmu University whisper about their Class President.

“Ren, you are a lucky dog,” Sitting beside Hao Ren, Yu Rong said out of jealousy.

“What are you talking about?” Hao Ren asked.

“I mean the Class President.” Yu Rong signaled in the direction of Ma Lina. “Everyone thought Xie Yujia was a challenge and no one dared to make a move. Now they are regretful. Look, even the guys of Sanmu University are talking about Xie Yujia’s beauty.”

“Of course, they are. Yujia can compete with any School Belle,” Hao Ren said.

“Well, aren’t you smug! Yujia, Yujia, you sound so intimate with her!” Yu Rong reached out and pinched Hao Ren’s cheek, half teasing, half intentional.

“Hi, can I have your phone number?” Seeing Xie Yujia and Ma Lina eating alone, a handsome guy walked over and asked Xie Yujia.

Xie Yujia looked up at him and turned her gaze to Hao Ren at another table. She told him, “I’m sorry, but I have a boyfriend.”

“Wow…” The guys in Hao Ren’s class yelled.

Although they were a bit jealous of Hao Ren winning over Xie Yujia, they were glad that her boyfriend was someone from their class instead of some guy from another class or another school! Anyway, Hao Ren was liked by most of the guys in their circle.

Hearing the yells from the guys, the handsome guy who came over to Xie Yujia impulsively realized that she was with them. He left in mortification.

The guy was presumptuous because he couldn’t resist Xie Yujia’s beauty and tried to get to know her by asking for her phone number.

Xie Yujia was a born beauty, and when she dressed up, she was dazzling. Under the old grandma’s influence, she became even more stunning recently. After all, each time when she did the massage for the old grandma, she was absorbing her Nature Essence; without cultivating, she had reached level 1 Qi Refinement Realm!

After a few minutes, another guy came up to Xie Yujia to test the waters.

Thud! Hao Ren stood up with his platter and walked to Xie Yujia’s table before sitting beside her.

The guy walking toward Xie Yujia froze for a second and backed off quietly.

“Yeah! Ren is manly!” Yu Rong gave him a thumbs-up.

Xie Yujia turned to look at Hao Ren with a sweet smile.

“Well, I won’t be the third wheel. I’ll sit alone, and maybe some handsome guy will come to talk to me!” Ma Lina stood up with her platter and moved to another table.

Sure enough, shortly after she sat down, some handsome guy walked over to her. However, she walked back with her platter after exchanging a few words with the guy. She said angrily, “Damn! He came to ask me about you, Yujia. Am I so ugly that no one wants to talk to me?”

Hao Ren almost choked on the soup he was drinking.

On a closer look, Ma Lina was pretty, and she had dressed quite nicely today. But she was totally overshadowed by Xie Yujia when they were together.

After getting food at Sanmu University cafeteria, Xie Yujia led the group to the stadium to watch the game.

They fell behind several steps self-consciously so Hao Ren and Xie Yujia could walk together before them.

They were now officially a couple.

From now on, anyone who dared to pursue Xie Yujia in public would rouse everyone else’s indignation.

When they entered the stadium, Zhao Jiayi was doing warm-up exercises in a yellow jersey.

“Damn! I thought you wouldn’t come!” He shouted at the sight of his classmates.

“To watch your game, I gave up the opportunity to see pretty girls!” Zhou Liren retorted. He was excited since it was the first time he watched Zhao Jiayi in an official game. After all, it was a national game, and one of the main players was his buddy and roommate.

Xie Wanjun was wiping his sweat at the sideline of the basketball court, and he nodded at Xie Yujia when he saw her. Then he glanced at Hao Ren by her side and smiled with satisfaction. The tallest and most prominent of the basketball team, Xie Wanjun also possessed the highest IQ and EQ among the team members.

He would go to the U.S. for his postgraduate degree in a short while. Otherwise, he would probably lead the team to win the championship of the National League!

“Let’s watch on the stand!” Xie Yujia tucked her hand under Hao Ren’s arm before walking to the stand. Their classmates followed them.

“Ren, you did it! The trip is fruitful for you!” Seeing Xie Yujia hold Hao Ren’s arm, Zhao Jiayi was surprised. Then he threw the basketball in his hand toward Hao Ren.

Hao Ren was about to sit down when he saw a basketball flying toward him. He caught it immediately.

He looked forward and saw Zhao Jiayi was looking at him on the court.

“Hey, you owe me a dinner!” Zhao Jiayi called out.

Hao Ren smiled and tossed the ball back to him. “Got it!”

Sitting next to Hao Ren in the first row, Xie Yujia lowered her head with a happy smile. The flawless jade bracelet on her wrist accentuated her snow-white and smooth skin.

The players of Sanmu University began to enter the court. Gradually, the students of Sanmu University filed into the stadium to watch the home game.

Xie Yujia took out a banner from her bag and handed it to Yu Rong and Gu Jiadong behind her. “Put this up!”

The guys scrambled to spread the banner before holding it up high. “Go! East Ocean University! Go! Zhao Jiayi!”

Seeing this banner, Zhao Jiayi forgot his nervousness and his morale was greatly boosted. “Ok! I’ll show you my best!”

Playing an away game was not easy, but seeing his class come to cheer for him in his first formal match, Zhao Jiayi was determined to win the game!

When the match began, Class Two which was mostly guys yelled together, “Go! Go! Zhao Jiayi!”

Their uniformed cheering was more distinct than the boisterous cheering voices of Sanmu University’s students.

East Ocean University’s basketball team was last year’s national champion and the cooperation between Xie Wanjun and Zhao Jiayi, one tall and one short, was seamless! The basketball team of Sanmu University obviously underestimated the small-sized Zhao Jiayi who scored repeatedly.

“Go! Go! Zhao Jiayi!” The guys’ voices were hoarse, but they kept cheering for him!

On the court, Zhao Jiayi got better each minute with three-point shots, perimeter shots, block shots and defensive rebounds. The only thing he was not good at was dunking.

The game ended with East Ocean University team winning by 16 points, and Zhao Jiayi alone scored 25 points!

Sanmu University team had been a strong team the year before, but it was utterly defeated by East Ocean University’s team!

The East Ocean University team won the first game in the National College Basketball League!

After the game, the two teams stayed at the stadium for some after-game activities while Xie Yujia led the class back to East Ocean City by bus.

On the way to Xin’an City, Hao Ren had sat with Yu Rong and the other guys. However, now on the return trip, Hao Ren was arranged by the group to sit next to Xie Yujia.

Xie Yujia’s sweet smile was full of happiness.

The bus drove smoothly on the highway, and it was only 6 PM when they returned to East Ocean City. It was not dark yet.

Before the bus reached East Ocean University, Xie Yujia got off earlier intending to go home and pick up some stuff. The guys urged Hao Ren to walk Xie Yujia home; some of them even came up to push him off the bus.

Under such insistent urging, Hao Ren had no choice but to get off the bus. Anyway, he had decided to visit the old grandma with Xie Yujia.

“Well, Huang Jianfeng and others were quite bossy,” looking after the bus by the road, Hao Ren said embarrassedly.

“What? Did you do what you did because they forced you?” Xie Yujia put the backpack on her back and turned to ask him.

“No. Anyway, I’m glad you’re not leaving,” Hao Ren said.

Xie Yujia pursed her lips and walked to the shanty houses nearby with Little White snuggled warmly in her arms.

The white jade bracelet glittered in the setting sun. It was about time to find out the truth about the strange dream.
