Qiao Yuan suddenly said, “I think Fu Ge is also in the basketball club. I wonder if he’ll be there.”
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. Seeing Qiao Yuan mention Fu Shen, he said a little sourly, “He definitely won’t be there.”
“Oh.”
Tang Zhou couldn’t help but ask, “How does he manage to participate in so many clubs?”
He’s in the travel club and the basketball club, isn’t that way too troublesome?
Qiao Yuan looked slightly worried, “I think it’s probably to get a scholarship. The more activities you participate in, the higher your comprehensive evaluation score will be.”
Tang Zhou: “…” Given Fu Shen’s family background, he does need a scholarship.
However, participating in a computer competition and winning an award can also add a lot of points.
I guess Fu Shen hasn’t been to the two clubs he joined on a whim for a long time.
Seeing Qiao Yuan’s gloomy expression again, Lu Ye hurriedly changed the subject. “Remember to bring me water later.”
Qiao Yuan glared at him. “Get it yourself!”
[Jiang University Men’s Dormitory.]
Although Fu Shen and his friends had moved to live off campus, they still chose to rest in the dormitory for lunch.
Pi Xiu saw Fu Shen studying so seriously in the middle of the day and was deeply impressed, so he whispered to Li Fengyu, “Shen Ge has been working hard lately.”
Li Fengyu: “He’s probably not in a good mood.”
“What’s wrong?” Pi Xiu couldn’t notice anything unusual on Fu Shen’s usually gentle face.
“I don’t know, it’s the air that seems a little off.” Li Fengyu shook his head. “Maybe we should ask Liang Chen. He might know something.”
Liang Chen calmly adjusted his glasses. “The midterm exams are coming up soon. He’s probably studying.”
Pi Xiu: “…But the midterm exams are still a while away, right?”
Liang Chen couldn’t think of a suitable word. “Maybe he’s just a slow learner.”
Li Fengyu: “…Then what kind of learner am I?”
Pi Xiu laughed out loud, “A super slow learner.”
On the way to class in the afternoon, while Pi Xiu and Li Fengyu went to the convenience store to buy drinks, Liang Chen chatted with Fu Shen casually: “You’ve been a little anxious lately.”
Fu Shen knew he couldn’t hide it from him, so he smiled and said, “I want to finish the project early.”
“You said before that you want to be meticulous.” Liang Chen’s eyes were calm. “Pursuing speed blindly will result in more losses than gains.”
Fu Shen’s gaze fell on the couple holding hands in the distance. “I’m sorry, I’ll adjust.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t understand this.
He just wanted to finish the project as soon as possible, develop Deep Blue as soon as possible, and become an unignorable presence in someone’s eyes as soon as possible.
Liang Chen nodded and coldly comforted, “Don’t underestimate yourself.”
Fu Shen laughed heartily.
Liang Chen’s insight has always been something he admired.
Pi Xiu and Li Fengyu caught up with the two of them, chattering about the latest news.
Pi Xiu suddenly said, “Shen Ge, I just saw the poster. Our school’s basketball club is going to have a match with the Institute of Technology. I heard that Lu senior will also be participating. A lot of people said they want to go watch it, and we are members of the basketball club, will we go then?”
Fu Shen was about to say no when his phone received a message from the basketball club’s publicity department.
【Dear basketball club members: Jiang University’s basketball club and Institute of Technology’s basketball club will be organizing a friendly basketball match this Sunday. Please come to the basketball arena to cheer for the players! The club will organize a sign-in, and participants will get extra points~】
Pi Xiu also received it.

Before Fu Shen could stop him, he enthusiastically sent the message out.
Pi Xiu: 【Tang Shen Tang Shen, can we go to the basketball game this weekend? We can get extra points for signing in!】
Tang Zhou: 【Why couldn’t we?】
Pi Xiu: 【Aren’t we supposed to be working on the project?】
Tang Zhou: 【You guys don’t take weekends off?】
You can’t blame Tang Zhou. These matters are all handled by Fu Shen, and he really didn’t know they don’t have a break on weekends.
Pi Xiu: 【Shen Ge said that working one day less is a waste of money QAQ】
Tang Zhou: 【Leisure and work should be combined.】
Pi Xiu: 【Aww Tang Shen is so great!】
He excitedly showed the conversation to Fu Shen and said, “Tang Shen has spoken. He wants us to combine work and leisure, so let the cows eat grass after working hard.”
Fu Shen’s lips curled up. “Hmmm. When the time comes, you guys go to watch the game, I won’t go.”
“Workaholic!” Pi Xiu had to complain.
If Tang Zhou were here, he would definitely complain with him. After all, Fu Shen was indeed a workaholic, and there were very few people who could handle the job of his assistant.
Everyone was looking forward to this basketball game, and the basketball club was also actively preparing for it. Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes.
One of the players on the team accidentally got injured the day before the match and was unable to participate.
Those who could participate in the match definitely need to have good skills, and suddenly losing a major player caused a panic.
Lu Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead. “There are no substitutes; let’s call someone else and let them give it a try.”
As a result, when another person stepped up, Lu Ye’s expression darkened.
Holding back his frustration, he asked, “Are there any other skilled members in the club?”
The president of the basketball club cautiously replied, “There are, but they haven’t participated in many competitions.”
Lu Ye furrowed his brow, “Then how do you know they have good skills?”
The president explained, “We’ve played together before. His jump shot and long-range shooting abilities are good. However, he’s quite busy. I’ll ask and see.”
Lu Ye nodded and asked casually, “What’s his name?”
“Fu Shen, a freshman, and he’s also the freshman representative of their class.”
It was also because of Fu Shen’s aura that he was impressed.
Lu Ye: “……”
He threw down the towel. “Is there no one else who’s suitable besides him?”
“Um…” The club president hesitated. “Should I ask around again?”
Lu Ye took a sip of water. “Forget it, contact him first and then we’ll see.”
The club president did as he was told.
Soon, he came back with a sad expression. “He didn’t agree.”
Lu Ye’s brows furrowed. Although he didn’t have any prejudices against Fu Shen now, there was still a barrier in his heart. He was already feeling uncomfortable, and hearing that Fu Shen refused just added to the discomfort.
In short, it was a blow to his pride.
He said expressionlessly, “Really, we can’t find anyone else?”
The club president looked weak and helpless. “Fu Shen’s skills are definitely better than the others. He’d be the most suitable person to fill this gap. Should I ask him again?”
“No need.” Lu Ye took out his phone and vigorously poked at the screen.
Lu Ye: 【Tang Zhou, do me a favor.】
Tang Zhou: 【Go ahead.】
Lu Ye: 【We have a team member injured, and we need a replacement. The basketball club strongly recommended Fu Shen, but he declined.】
Tang Zhou: 【So?】
Lu Ye: 【I don’t want to lose this last game before graduation, so I’m asking for your help.】
Tang Zhou: 【I can’t help.】
Lu Ye: 【I think you can.】
Tang Zhou: 【……】
What makes Lu Ye think he can convince Fu Shen? Someone like Fu Shen basically wouldn’t change anything he had already decided.
Moreover, he had just lost his face in front of Fu Shen and he didn’t want to face him at all now.
Lu Ye: 【You have a good relationship with him; he should agree.】
Tang Zhou: 【Where’s the good relationship?】
Lu Ye: 【Cooking for you, doing household chores for you, and the last time we were in Fangcheng, he bought a shoe dryer for you in the rain, right? Can you help me give it a try? if it really doesn’t work, just forget it.】
Tang Zhou is relatively soft-hearted when facing someone he cares about. He also doesn’t want to see Lu Ye leave with any regrets before graduation.
So, he reluctantly agreed.
On Saturday, Fu Shen didn’t go to class; he focused on the project at the company.
Then, his phone rang.
Tang Zhou: 【Can you do me a favor?】
He paused, remembering the phone call from the president of the basketball club just now, his lips pursed slightly.
Fu Shen: 【What is it?】
Tang Zhou: 【Can you participate in the basketball game?】
Straightforward and to the point.
Fu Shen’s eyes were now cold.
Fu Shen: 【Acting as a lobbyist for Lu Ye?】
Tang Zhou: 【It’s fine if you don’t want to.】
Fu Shen: 【Do you want me to go?】
Tang Zhou’s fingertips hesitated. What does him wanting him to go or not have to do with it? But considering the honor of Jiang University and Lu Ye’s hope, he hesitated before replying.
Tang Zhou: 【Hmm.】
A smile played on the corner of Fu Shen’s lips, his brown eyes filled with a smile.
Fu Shen: 【Tell Lu Ye. He owes me a favor.】
Tang Zhou: 【Alright.】
After learning that he owed Fu Shen another favor, Lu Ye felt like giving up. With so many debts, the last favor he owed hadn’t been repaid yet, and who knows how long it’ll take before this one comes due.
However, the most important thing right now was dealing with the matters at hand.
Tomorrow’s game is approaching, they’re short in time, and Lu Ye wants to practice their coordination as much as possible today.
He initially thought that even if Fu Shen had good skills, their teamwork could still affect their performance. However, to his surprise, Fu Shen’s addition was like giving a tiger wings.. Although they haven’t developed perfect teamwork yet, it must be said that Fu Shen’s keen observations and proactive coordination with teammates give him absolute control over the situation on the court.
The more they practice, the more Lu Ye appreciates Fu Shen. The lively atmosphere of the practice gradually dispelled Lu Ye’s prejudices against Fu Shen, resulting in the two of them working better and more coordinated together.
After having such a good practice, Lu Ye even took the initiative to pat his shoulders and give him high fives, although Fu Shen didn’t bother to pay attention to him.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the next day.
Jiang University’s basketball Gymnasium is packed, mostly drawn by the school grass Lu Ye.. Tang Zhou and Qiao Yuan sat in their seats, feeling the waves of cheers building up, gradually becoming more passionate.
While he considers himself low-key, the audience around him si getting thrilled, even raising their phones to sneak a few pictures.
Tang Zhou had a moment of remorse, thinking he shouldn’t have come here.
The referee’s whistle sounded, and the whole field gradually quieted down.
The Jiang University basketball team and the University of Technology basketball team were wearing jerseys of different colors, their eyes focused on the basketball in the referee’s hands.
Tang Zhou has a good eyesight and was able to spot Fu Shen in the Jiang University team at a glance.
He was wearing a bright red jersey, showcasing well-defined arm muscles. Tall and handsome, he stood next to Lu Ye without being overshadowed.
Tang Zhou overheard the excited discussion of the girls in the front row.
“Oh my god, who’s that handsome guy next to Senior Lu? I thought Senior Lu would be the center of attention today, but I never expected this, seeing a pair of beauties standing side by side! I can’t believe it, this is amazing!”
Tang Zhou: ……
The way she uses that word, Lu Ye would probably explode if he heard her.
Qiao Yuan was amused, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
Right in the middle of the audience’s enthusiastic chatter, the basketball game began.
The situation was on the verge of exploding.
Tang Zhou isn’t much into basketball, but that doesn’t stop him from understanding the game. As for Qiao Yuan, he has watched every basketball game of Lu Ye from the sidelines, so he understands a thing or two.
The teams from Jiang University and the Institute of Technology are evenly matched, making the game intense. Both of them were enjoying watching, and every time Jiang University scores, Qiao Yuan claps excitedly.
Gradually, Tang Zhou was influenced by the competitive atmosphere and joined the cheering camp.
The score on the court has reached a critical moment, both sides in a tight contest, with only one last minute left!
The hearts of the entire audience were hanging in suspense, and when they saw a player from Jiang University score the winning point, the hearts of the Jiang University spectators jumped directly to their throats.
Tang Zhou also clenches his fist, his eyes following the familiar yet unfamiliar figure, waiting as he holds his breath.
He has never seen Fu Shen play basketball, and he didn’t know he was so good at it.
Just as Fu Shen releases the jump shot, a player from the Institute of Technology suddenly slipped and stumbled, and one of his legs directly tripped towards Fu Shen!
With a “thud,” both of them fell to the ground.
The ball went into the hoop, but the players fell.
Tang Zhou quickly stood up, his heart skipping a beat, and his limbs feeling cold.
When he saw Fu Shen being helped to get up, he could only support himself on one foot. Tang Zhou’s eyebrows furrowed, and he kept a close eye on every movement on the court.
Fu Shen’s eyes met his directly, entwining with them.
As early as from the very beginning, Fu Shen had already spotted him among the dense crowd of audience.
