"Grandfather, why did you let me be dragged by your bodyguards now?" Inside the hall, Zhang Feng was complaining.

"You unfilial grandson, can't you just not welcome your grandpa?" Zhang LingTian stretched out his arms.

"Why would I? You're always chasing me at the wrong time." Zhang Feng answered.

"You bastard. When you're still a child, I'm the one who pampered you the most. How come you don't want to talk to me now?"

Zhang LingTian brushed his grandson's hair.

"It's my mom who pampered me the most."

Zhang LingTian sighed.

"But now that two of us left in the family, why not let's start to make a bigger family?"

"What do you mean grandpa?"

"Let me tell you. You don't have to focus on other things. Today, I'm going to give you a surprise."

From the back, a voice echoed through them.

"LingTian, is that the Little Feng now? Wow, good genes are really on your family." Fei DuBao greeted them.

"Hahahaha. You're right DuBao. Zhang Feng, did you recognize him? He could be also your grandpa. He's my friend."

Zhang Feng started to feel uneasy.

'What does this two old men were planning?'

"Yes grandpa, he's Fei DuBao."

Zhang LingTian patted his shoulder while smiling.

"Yes, yes! Do you know his granddaughter, Fei ZhangWei?"

"Tsk. What with that woman?"

"Ai, don't talk like that. Her grandpa was here. Besides, don't be ill-mannered towards your future wife."

"What?! Heh, I don't want to get married to her." Zhang Feng briskly left.

"Ah, DuBao. Zhang Feng was just surprised. Don't worry, I'll explain everything to him." Zhang LingTian was embarrassed by his grandson's upbringing.

- Tsing University Dormitory -

"....she just cried and cried huhuhuhu. Then that's it! She kissed MingYu. They kissed for a long time, then stopped, then kissed again. Sister Han Ri even said, 'I really really really like you!'" Yu Li mimicked the actions she saw and started to monologue itself. She acted like a great story teller.

"Hey! You're too exaggerating! That's normal for a couple ah!"

"A couple of just a few minutes ago?! Tell me Han Ri!" Yu Li retorted.

"If you're just jealous of our lovey dovey, then find someone for you!"

"Ai, I'm sorry but I'm already taken by my idols. Can't you see this poster of Zi Tao and Kris Wu?! Aaaaaaah! I decided from now on to dedicate my life to them!" Yu Li jumped around again.

"What are we going to do to this single lady now?" Han Ri ignored the dancing Yu Li and talked to ShenYi.

"You two! You really didn't know how make boys suffer even just for a bit?! Hmph, just let them be your suitor first!" Yu Li joined the discussion again.

"Xiao Ri, Xiao Yi, you know, we are girls. We're like flower, very delicate to touch. We don't give easily to others." Yu Li added with a soft voice.

"You're not even delicate Yu Li." Han Ri said.

"You!"

"Have you seen Zhang Feng earlier?" ShenYi finally spoke.

"Uhm, MingYu said that his grandfather called him." Han Ri answered.

"Is there any problem Xiao Yi?"

"It's just... my mom isn't in favor of Zhang Feng." ShenYi told them.

"What?! Why?"

"I don't know. Ai, nevermind about it. I can find out the reason why." ShenYi wanted to change the topic.

Before the Final Exams, the school's Athletic Meet had begun.

"Our department must have a representative. The school heads already picked the players for each department. For the Computer Science Department, Fang Shi, Lin Kai, Zhiu Shing, Pao BuYi will be the main players together with their Captain Ball, Chu LiMin. There are also other names in the list. Check it later after I posted it outside. Hao, class is dimissed." Then the teacher left the room.

"Classmate Chu, when will be the training?"

"We consecutively won the trophy for years. With our Captain's capability, for sure we'll make it again."

"Let's meet tomorrow after classes, at the school's gym." LiMin spoke.

"Hao. Bye classmate Chu."

As LiMin was walking at the hallway, group of make students appeared in front of him.

"Chu LiMin, right?"

Having one of the bag strap placed on his shoulder, he raise his head and looked indifferently. Even the smallest trace of childishness was vanished from his aura.

"What do you need?" His tone was apathetic.

"Tsk. Don't think too highly of yourself. We're from the Business and Finance Department's Basketball team."

"And?"

"We're here to make a bet."

LiMin laughed nonchalantly.

"Bet? With me? Really?"

"Hey, even if you're renowned as the best basketball player in our university, tables might turn now. If you lose, you will do whatever we want."

"And if you lose?"

"Then do whatever you want too!" The group of students laughed,

"Tsk. Tell me first what you want me to do if I lose."

"Why? You're already preparing to lose? You're accepting or not?"

But before LiMin could refuse, one of the boys spoke again.

"You're already retreating? Don't be a weakling." Then they laughed again.

"Hao." Then he walked past them.

...

"LiMin ah! I heard you're going to lead our department again into victory! Jiayou!"

"Hpmh! Just say it forward that you're proud of me." LiMin laughed seeing her. The annoyance in his face earlier disappeared.

"Pfffft! I only approached you for the sake of our friends' relationship. You're too big headed!" Yu Li spout at him and walked away.

LiMin smiled after her words. But his face suddenly get dimmer again as she left. He can't believe he just agreed to a bet like that.

He started to walk again and reached the gymnasium.

...

"Classmate LiMin looked at my stance, is it good?"

"Give us some techniques!"

LiMin walked towards them and talked to them.

"Listen. We need to win no matter what."

"Of course we can. We have you!" One of his classmates responded.

"Wait, where's Pao BuYi?" Lin Kai asked.

"Don't worry. He's at the washroom now." Fang Shi answered.

"Hao, let's get back to work!" LiMin instructed his classmates.

.....

In the washroom...

The faint voice of man calling on the phone was heard.

"Alright. I've got the money now. I'll make sure to give to them."

"Oh yes, except LiMin. I got it."

"Alright. I'll hang up now. They might find me suspicious."

Then Pao BuYi hanged up.
