Samsara Online

Chapter 94 The man of her dreams

Now, the ball was in the hands of team 2.

Du Shun came out from under the hoop with the ball in his hands as he dribbled it and looked carefully at the court. Team 1 did not block his way until he crossed halfway across the court, only then did the enemy pivot come forward and get in the way.

With a mocking smile, Team 1’s pivot tried to grab the ball at the moment Du Shun was dribbling, but Du Shun was faster than he was.

Before the pivot came in contact with the ball, as if waiting for that opportunity, Du Shun hit the ball still in the air.

The ball flew to the edge of the court where Yue Kai was waiting.

The enemy base went forward to block his advance, however with very good footwork, Yue Kai overtook him. Then, he did something that surprised not only the enemy but also his teammates.

Out of the outside area and enabled for the three points, Yue Kai completely ignored team 1’s shooting guard and jumped with the ball still in his hands.

Team 1’s shooting guard also jumped, but it was too late.

The ball glided through the air and with a beautiful curve, hit the edge of the ring, then finally slipped through the web.

The marker that was set to 0 lit up, and the tables turned again.

Team 1: 2 vs Team 2: 3

The gym, occupied by thousands of students, was silent for a brief moment. During that brief moment, only Yue Kai’s voice could be heard:

"Now we can start playing again... Junior!".

Then he turned around and began to walk to his side of the court, only to be greeted by praise from his teammates. Du Shun sighed with relief, "Man, you had me worried before. I’m glad to know it’s nothing".

Yue Kai looked at him, "It’s nothing? I’m pretty pissed off right now... It’s just that the angrier I get, the better I can concentrate". He tapped Du Shun’s shoulders and praised him, "By the way, that was an excellent move".

While team 2 was reviving, team 1 was not taking it very well. After all, they had just scored, but only a few seconds later the score turned around leaving them on the losing side.

Besides, Yue Kai’s words were clearly a slap in the face for them.

The power forward approached his teammate, and said in a low voice as he looked at the enemy team:

"Hey, Duan Li. That pussy may have a thin, weak body, but he seems to be good at long distance shooting. You’ll have to take him out of the game. Even though it’s only three points, the team captain’s face doesn’t look very pretty right now".

Duan Li was the shooting guard for team 1. Although he is a substitute on the official basketball team, he has played in many official games for a simple reason.

Because he is good at committing fouls. As long as he receives enough support from his teammates, 60 or 70% of the time, his fouls are not seen by the referee.

Many times the player of the opposing team even had to retire from the game because of pain preventing him from continuing to play. But once the play passed, the referee could do nothing about it.

Duan Li looked at the bench where the coach and the regular team were. Indeed, the team captain’s face did not look very good. Even so, Duan Li hesitated. No matter what, Yue Kai is also a student at his university.

But after thinking about the team captain’s background, Duan Li clenched his teeth and, with a glint of resolution in his eyes, nodded, "Leave it to me".

It was a pleasant surprise for Xie Feng to see that Yue Kai was not lost in anger and instead of making mistakes in the game, he used that burning fire to push himself further.

Just as he was about to smile, his ears moved slightly.

"Uh? Wind?", Xiao Luo looked up and saw that the windows at the top of the gym were closed, as was the door. After all, the weather was still cold.

Without responding, Xie Feng stood up and waved for a time-out.

"Eh? Why are they asking for time out?"

"The game has only just begun and they’re already asking for a time-out?"

"Asking for a time-out when the scales of the game are tipped to your side is nonsense... What is that guy doing?"

"Are they scared?"

"I don’t think so, for better or worse, they’re third year students".

The people in the stands were stunned and then began to criticize what Xie Feng had just done.

Even so, Xie Feng ignored all those comments and looked at his classmates who were approaching him with a clearly confused look on their faces.

"Big brother Xie, what-".

"Yue Kai, get out of the game and let me in". Xie Feng did not wait for Yue Kai to finish speaking, he interrupted him and expressed his purpose.

Not only Yue Kai, the other four, as well as Xiao Luo, were all even more confused after hearing Xie Feng’s words.

"Haha, don’t joke. The game has only just started, why would I suddenly retire from the game?". Yue Kai was clearly not convinced.

"The opponent team seems to be not only unwilling to lose. They can’t even accept your words from before. Apparently, their team captain has a strong background. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare try to hurt a student from their own university". Xie Feng patiently explained.

"What? Are they crazy? If they hurt a college student just for a friendly game of basketball, they will be expulsed and their lives will be ruined!". Du Shen could not help but raise his voice. But the murmurs of the gym prevented his words from being heard.

"No no no. That’s not the right question here. To begin with, Xie Feng, how on earth did you hear that from this distance and with all this noise?". Hu Chen looked at Xie Feng with his eyes wide open and asked.

Xie Feng ignored the questioning looks and as he looked into Yue Kai’s eyes, he continued, "You don’t have to get hurt by a simple game. You’ve made a fool of them before. Also, look carefully around you and tell me if you see anyone inside this place looking at you with disdain".

Yue Kai looked around and, as Xie Feng said; no one was looking at him with ridicule.

"Do you trust me or what?" Xie Feng pushed once more.

Calming his anger and taking a deep breath, Yue Kai took off his uniform T-shirt, "Here man. If I don’t even trust you, what kind of friend would I be? Go and kick their ass!". Yue Kai said with a smile.

A smile adorned Xie Feng’s face. But it wasn’t a fake smile like most of the time, it was clearly a genuine smile.

Yue Kai was willing to give up his pride, to risk being mocked by everyone in the future. All because of Xie Feng’s seemingly unfounded words.

This means that he really trusts Xie Feng.

Xie Feng took the black T-shirt in his hands and nodded, "Just sit down and look carefully. Not only will I kick their ass in the game, but I will also teach them a lesson".

He took off his jacket and left it on the bench. Then, unconsciously and happily for not having chosen his friends badly, he took off his shirt... Under thousands of eyes.

The murmurs, the laughter, the sound of papers or people sipping their drinks. Everything stopped, leaving the place completely silent.

"Em?". Xie Feng raised his head in confusion, wondering why everything had suddenly become so silent.

Only a moment later, the stands burst.

The men started cursing loudly.

The faces of all the women in the place, whether students or teachers, turned red. Then, as if by agreement, they began to argue with the men who were cursing and insulting.

A battle between attackers and defenders had broken out inside the gym... A different battle than basketball.

Xie Feng was stunned as he watched all this.

"Big brother Xie... Suddenly I want to punch your face and ask for my T-shirt back again...".

Yue Kai’s voice pulled Xie Feng out of the trance he was in.

It was also then that Xie Feng understood.

He understood something that he was unconsciously ignoring.

His physical look had become simply too perfect. Xie Feng was sure that if he had not seen his face in Samsara Online, he would believe that he was the most handsome man in existence. Not out of arrogance, but that is the reality, those are the real facts.

Add this to his physicality full of attractive muscles, hiding under the skin a terrifying force, women would naturally be attracted to him. Especially women who had just left their teens; women between 18 and 20 years old.

Noticing the jealous, envious and even hateful look of many women focused in one direction, Xie Feng’s eyes followed the look of those women.

There, Xie Yao was looking at him with a lamentable expression like a little puppy. She seemed to be asking him why he did that.

Xie Feng gave her a look that suggested saying ’I sorry’ while smiling bitterly inside.

There is no way he could have known something like this was going to happen just by showing his upper body.

"I have never seen a man as handsome as him in all my life," Yin Yue whispered as she kept her eyes fixed on the court, precisely speaking, on the man without the shirt.

Shen Xinya shook her head to get out of the trance she was in and unconsciously nodded in agreement:

"He really does have an almost perfect look".

Yin Yue looked at her and asked with a scowl, "Almost?".

To her, the current Xie Feng was undoubtedly perfect. At least, physically.

Shen Xinya nodded, and with a proud expression under the muffler that covered her beautiful face, she said, "The man I am destined to be with is even more handsome than he is!".

Yin Yue rolled her eyes, clearly not believing her words.

Soon, however, Shen Xinya’s eyes were attracted to the court once again.

"Although he is only 2/10 or 3/10... he looks a bit like that man... the man of my dreams". Her voice was so low that Yin Yue did not hear it.

"It looks like my student life here will be fun... Hehe~".

Little did she know that in truth, the surprises she would take with her today had only just begun... Soon, in the middle of the game, she would receive a surprise that would finally make her leave her seat and stand up.
