DATE WANG SHISHI

- Tsing University Gymnasium -

"Yu Li! Let's seat here!" ShenYi dragged Yu Li towards the seat located near the bench players.

"O-Okay..." Yu Li felt her head spinning. Her eyes were slowly closing. It was probably caused by having lack of sleep.

"ShenYi! Yu Li!"

The two girls immediately turned their heads and saw Han Ri with MingYu.

"Xiao Ri!" ShenYi called her back.

However, before Yu Li could even speak. She lost her consciousness.

"Yu Li!" Han Ri and ShenYi was flabbergasted. They let MingYu carry her towards the clinic.

.....

"I'm going to stay with Yu Li. You could watch the match with MingYu now." ShenYi said to Han Ri.

"B-But I'm worried for her." Han Ri was really shocked by the sudden situation.

MingYu comforted her.

"It's alright. Just tell Feng that I'm here. LiMin needs support there. You two were from his department. As for me, I need to sit at my department. My presence there makes no sense." ShenYi insisted.

"A-Alright. Please keep her safe." Han Ri was reluctant to leave them, but ShenYi has a point.

ShenYi answered, "Of course. I will. Go ahead. The match will start soon."

The couple nodded then left the area.

---------

At the gymnasium....

After announcing the players, LiMin walked towards MingYu and Han Ri's seat.

"Go LiMin! Fighting!"

"Aaaaaah!!!! I finally saw LiMin in a closer view!"

"Plus having MingYu near us!"

The students who were near them exclaimed.

Han Ri playfully covered MingYu's ears. She doesn't want him to hear other girl's confession of love towards him.

MingYu sneered. He removed Han Ri's hand and held it carefully.

"LiMin, why are you here? The match will start now." MingYu asked him.

"Uhm, where's-"

"LiMin! Come down! The game will start!" His words were interrupted by one of his teammates.

"Go ahead LiMin! Best of luck!" Han Ri opened up a banner for him.

"I know you can do it bro." MingYu patted his shoulder.

"A-Alright. Nevermind. I'll go down now." LiMin smiled but his eyes were still searching for someone.

...

Prrrrrt!

A loud sound of the referee's whistle silenced the whole crowd. The match has begun.

"ComSci! ComSci! ComSci!"

"Business and Finance! Business and Finance! Go! Go! Go!"

"Chu LiMin! Chu LiMin!"

Once again, loud cheers from the audience echoed the place again.

Shoot!

"Whooo!" Every time Chu LiMin would score, the masses have gone wild.

Howbeit, LiMin was still unfocused of the game. He didn't know why, but he wasn't in the condition to play today.

'Argh! This isn't a good sign!' Chu LiMin gritted his teeth.

From the bench, Han Ri and MingYu was talking about him.

"LiMin seemed to be distracted." Han Ri whispered.

"Probably it was because of Yu Li."

Han Ri was surprised. There's really a possibility that LiMin was finding Yu Li. She could only form her mouth into an O-shape.

Unfortunately, their competitors observed Chu LiMin's lack of concentration.

Even his teammates noticed it. Despite of this, they felt unbothered. This way, there's no suspicions about them getting money to sacrifice the game. The blame will be put unto Chu LiMin.

....

[For three points! Failed!

Rebound by the other team!

First Quarter score: 20-15 infavor of Business and Finance Department!]

.....

"Mr. Chu! What's happening with you?! You're out of focus!" The head coach was bursting into anger during the timeout.

"I-I will do my best sir." Chu LiMin replied.

"You better do your best, or else... argh! Go back now!" The coach clapped his hands furiously.

.....

Second Quarter...

Third Quarter.....

Business and Finance still take the lead!

Every students from Chu LiMin's department were gradually going out of sight. Some were still waving their balloons, hoping to give much energy to the players. Han Ri and MingYu felt that there was something amiss.

"You! We have a bet right? Now that your predicted winner lose, give me ten yuan!" Among the people in the bleachers, one student protested towards her classmate.

"The game isn't finished! Let's hold on for long!"

"Argh! I knew it! Computer Science Department would lose!"

....

Fourth Quarter, only 2 minutes left... The other department were still ahead by 10 points.

It looks like the ball were just being played and tossed. Everyone knew that there's no hope for Computer Science Department to get an advanced score or even tie to them.

EEENG!

The loud sound of the buzzer signalled that the match was finished and the winner was proclaimed to be from Business and Finance Department.

"Fuck off!" Chu LiMin kicked the ball so hard. Never in his lifetime he would get defeated in a basketball match.

As he was walking towards the locker room, one man held his shoulder.

"Hey, you're running away?" He let out a mocking smile.

"Fuck. Tell me what you want now." Chu LiMin gave him a dangerous glint.

"Haha! Don't look like a sore loser. Just date Wang ShiShi. That's it."
