CHAPTER 967: CHAPTER 559: STEADY PERFORMANCE (PART 2)

’Are you kidding me?’ Wu Yun secretly feels displeased.

"Brother, can you help me throw the basketball over?" After shouting, Shang Wanqing noticed the displeasure on Wu Yun’s face out of the corner of her eye.

She turned her head and comforted him: "I was worried that brother might be too tired picking up the ball, so I called someone else to pick it up. I just care for brother, if you’re unhappy, I’ll pick it up myself."

The little discomfort Wu Yun felt instantly vanished, replaced by a feeling of warmth, ’So she did it for me!’

Thinking of this, Wu Yun was touched.

The basketball rolled to Jiang Ning’s feet, while the twins stared at the ball and then glanced at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning lightly tapped with the tip of his foot, the basketball soared into the air, and he reached out to grab the ball.

At this moment, he was at an angle with the basketball hoop, unable to see the rim. He stretched his arms and let go of the ball.

Without caring about the basketball drawing a curve in the air, he continued walking with Tongtong.

At the basketball hoop, Wu Yun was just ready to catch the ball and continue teaching Shang Wanqing how to shoot.

Shang Wanqing was watching Jiang Ning, she noticed this boy was very handsome, with a pair of twins by his side—a strange combination.

’Moreover, he throws basketballs with great style, effortlessly captivating, possessing an allure of restraint.’ Shang Wanqing felt her heart flutter.

The next second, as the basketball flew, it surprisingly fell right into the basket.

"What the heck?" Wu Yun froze.

Shang Wanqing suddenly realized, ’He wasn’t just throwing the ball; he was scoring!’

She looked again at Jiang Ning’s profile, her eyes sparkling with admiration and intrigue.

Wu Yun happened to notice this scene. Just a moment ago, Shang Wanqing looked at him in this way, burning with focus, but now...

In an instant, his heart, once broad due to his victory, became narrow again.

Wu Yun’s malicious thoughts surged, and he said flatly: "Just luck."

"Many who don’t shoot often can occasionally score a good one, but if you ask him to try a second time, you’ll see." He described.

"Is that so?" Shang Wanqing was skeptical.

Wu Yun gave examples: "Normally, I’ve seen this happen. Like in soccer, even a passerby can score a goal if they get the ball."

Shang Wanqing saw through his thoughts, she put on a smile again, and with an admiring expression, directed at Wu Yun:

"Wow, brother knows everything, unlike me, if not for your explanation, I’d be clueless."

Wu Yun was overjoyed by the praise and couldn’t help but say, "They’re just lucky; someone like us, who has been through countless drills and played in matches, is a stable player."

After belittling his opponent, Wu Yun walked to the three-point line, ready to perform a cool shooting gesture for Shang Wanqing.

Actually, dunks are the coolest; Wu Yun, standing 185 cm tall, has the potential to dunk, but without systematic training, dunking is quite challenging for him.

Wu Yun had to settle for the second best.

"Let me show you what stable performance means." Wu Yun smiled brightly at Shang Wanqing, then shifted his focus to the hoop.

He was tall, with long fingers, a prominent Adam’s apple, and a striking jawline—just the type of boy girls like who play basketball.

Wu Yun mimicked the cool shooting stance from basketball anime, jumped, and shot the ball.

On the playground, Jiang Ning just moved from east to west of the basketball hoop.

His Divine Sense heard the conversation between Wu Yun and Shang Wanqing. With a high degree of self-cultivation, Jiang Ning didn’t care about others’ discussions behind his back; these insignificant things didn’t affect him at all.

Besides, he was too lazy to prove himself, after all, he didn’t have the opportunity to shoot.

He stepped forward, and just as Wu Yun was shooting, he used his Spiritual Power to slightly alter the direction of the basketball. The ball hit the rim with a "bang" and bounced off, drawing an arc and rolling back towards Jiang Ning’s feet.

Jiang Ning thought to himself: ’No opportunities? Create one.’

Chen Siyu and her sister were incredulous: "It’s back again?"

"That’s too coincidental!"

Jiang Ning said: "Maybe it’s destined to be with me."

He flicked his toes, and the basketball flew into his hands.

On the basketball court, Wu Yun’s confident shot just now missed, making him a bit embarrassed.

However, when he saw Jiang Ning picking up the basketball again, he was equally surprised and uncertain.

Shang Wanqing shouted: "Brother, can you show me what you did just now?"

Chen Siyu discreetly scoffed, exchanging knowing glances with her sister: ’What a shameless girl!’

’Exactly!’ Chen Siqing supported her sister.

Wu Yun looked at the basketball in Jiang Ning’s hand, quickly calming down. Normally, it’s absolutely impossible to score from such a distance. Once is luck, but twice?

It’s like winning the lottery once and hoping for a second win?

What a joke!

He was steady, telling Shang Wanqing:

"I said earlier, on the basketball court, stable performance is king. He’s just lucky, so watch."

Jiang Ning’s shot was casually thrown, and the basketball flew into the sky.

He continued walking with Tongtong, appearing completely unconcerned.

However, this time the location was better than the last, the twins stopped and watched the basketball’s trajectory.

That basketball, in front of everyone, fell steadily into the hoop.

Chen Siyu looked at her sister; the two girls were astonished. They regained their composure and caught up with Jiang Ning, eagerly saying: "Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, the ball went in just now!"

Jiang Ning feigned surprise: "Oh, it went in?"

The basketball court was peaceful.

Shang Wanqing: "Brother, brother? Was that a coincidence?"

Wu Yun felt as if he’d been slapped hard.

...

Before evening self-study.

In class 15 of freshmen, "Shangshang, how is he?" A girl with glasses but no lenses, and ordinary looks, asked.

"Wu Yun, he’s quite humorous." Shang Wanqing smiled and evaluated.

The girl’s little thoughts were clear to Shang Wanqing, she toyed with them casually.

"He’s so handsome." The girl with glasses said, "You must help me learn more about him."

"Alright."

"By the way, Shangshang, are you still opening your blind box tonight?"

Shang Wanqing saw the friend request on her phone and replied, "Such an interesting thing, of course, continues."

...

In the back row of classroom 8.

Guo Kunnan’s face was elated as if he’d found a treasure. He waited for the friend request approval while flipping through the library card from campus in his hand.

Ordinary people’s card is just a typical one, but this card surprisingly comes with a cute little cloth bag fashioned like a folded wallet.

The library card has an ID photo of a girl with delicate features. Seeing the ID photo made Guo Kunnan’s long-stilled Dao Heart start to throb.

Not only was there an ID photo, but also anti-loss text below [If any kind-hearted person finds this card, please contact me through WeChat: 138...]."

"Haha, my Brother Nan’s female fate is here, and there’s no stopping it!"

Guo Kunnan was inwardly delighted.

"Brother Nan, why are you smiling?" Dan Kaiquan was curious, he hadn’t seen Brother Nan this happy for a long time.

Guo Kunnan shook his head: "Can’t say, can’t say."

He restrained the urge to show off; he had grown, never leaking secrets until success in a romance.

He’s going to pursue the girl quietly and then surprise everyone!

After his buddy left, the girl agreed to his friend request, and Guo Kunnan’s first task was to check the girl’s Moments, greedily browsing all her selfies.

’So exquisite, so beautiful, even more heart-stirring!’

Guo Kunnan switched to the chat screen, seeing the message sent by the girl: "Did brother find my library card?"

’Ah! Just hearing her tone, you can tell how cute she is!’

Guo Kunnan excitedly replied: "I’ve found it, found it!"
