Chapter 101: Concealing Oneself

  Ding Er returned to the dormitory and saw that the people in the opposite room were loudly playing cards, while in his own room, Zhao Jiaxin, who usually played cards very enthusiastically, had gone to bed early.

  "Zhao Jiayun, aren't you playing cards?" Hao Ren asked, putting down the documents on the table.

  "Practice tomorrow, go to bed early!" Zhao Jiatian lay on the bed, "Are you back from tutoring?"

  "Uh-huh, yeah. By the way, I won't be back tomorrow night, I'm going home for a visit," Hao Ren said.

  "How much can you earn from teaching at home in a month?" Zhao Jiayu asked Bai

  "A few hundred yuan." Hao Ren said casually.

  "Don't go tutoring anymore, come and practice basketball with me every night! We're going to be the golden duo on the court!" Zhao Jiaxin exclaimed excitedly.

  "Defender, you go ahead and wash up!" Hao Ren picked up the basin and tapped Zhao Jiatun's belly before heading to the public toilet in the corridor to wash his face and brush his teeth.

  This night passed, at 5:30 the next day, Zhao Jiatong hastily got out of bed and shook awake Hao Ren on the upper bunk.

  Hao Ren opened his blurry eyes and looked at Zhao Jiaxin, who was full of energy. He knew that he must have been excited all night and hardly slept at all.

  "Let's go, let's go! If we don't leave now, we'll be late!" Zhao Jiayun urged.

  Hao Ren was pulled by Zhao Jiaxu, and could only get out of bed. Cao Ronghua and Zhou Liren also woke up one after another. Similarly, they forced themselves to get out of bed as well.

  I thought other dormitories would be quiet and peaceful, but with the wake-up of Hao Ren's dormitory, several surrounding dormitories also got up quickly.

  "My god, what's going on? It's only 5:30!" Hao Ren thought to himself in surprise.

  "Let's go! Let's go see Zhao Jiaxun and Hao Ren practicing." Yu Rong, wearing a big pants, walked out of the dormitory and shouted.

  "What's so great about practicing every day?" Zhao Jiaxin shouted.

  "You're ugly, Xie Yujia is pretty!" Huang Jianfeng shouted.

  Hao Ren's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he finally realized that this group of guys had climbed up with such a mysterious and sinister intention.

  A group of people clattered and rushed to finish their preparations in the bathroom, then surged out to hurry to the school gate. This was the first time since they entered university that they rushed out as soon as the dormitory door opened in the morning, previously it was always when the dormitory door closed at night that they snuck back in.

  Xie Wanjun had already gathered the basketball team at the entrance, holding his watch and looking down at the time, counting in his mouth: "Five seconds! Four seconds! Three..."

  Zhao Jiatun, who was still chatting and laughing with Yu Rong, hastily straddled his legs and rushed away.

  "3 seconds!" Just as Xie Wanjun was counting down, Zhao Jiayu finally rushed to his front.

  "If you're late, then don't come at all." Xie Wanjun said with a dark face, then turned to the other team members, "Start running!"

  He walked steadily in the lead, with others forming a line behind him.

  Yu Rong saw Zhao Jiaxin's disheveled and dirty appearance, and sighed, "It's going to be tough for Zhao Jiaxin from now on under this big gorilla."

  Hao Ren smiled and walked through the campus to the basketball court near the gymnasium. Yu Rong and his group of troublemakers followed closely behind Hao Ren, also wanting to join in on the excitement.

  Hao Ren arrived at the basketball court and saw Xie Yu Jia, who was wearing a white sports jersey, already playing basketball inside. Her bicycle was parked outside the court.

  She saw so many people coming over and was slightly surprised. Hao Ren walked in, scratching his head awkwardly, "They... wanted to come themselves."

  Xie Yu Jia's beautiful eyes blinked, but she didn't say anything. Wearing sports shorts and a jersey, her slender white arms and legs were exposed, her hair tied back in a long ponytail, exuding an indescribable youthfulness and vitality.

  Especially when she wore a pair of white sports shoes, supporting her white ankles, in comparison, her skin was even whiter than the shoes. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as "snowy skin".

  Huang Jianfeng had a good opportunity to interact with the class leader, and now he was close enough to see Xie Yujuan, who was full of youthful vitality, and his saliva almost flowed out.

  Even if they can get in touch with Xie Yu Jia in class every day, who would have thought that this proper and upright Xie Yu Jia also has such a sporty side?

  "Have you had breakfast?" Xie Yu Jia ignored this group of shining-eyed guys and directly asked Hao Ren.

  "Not yet, I came straight here after leaving the dormitory. The cafeteria is not open at this hour." Hao Ren replied.

  "Uh-huh!" Xie Yu Jia nodded and ran towards her bicycle, took out a bag from the basket and handed it to Hao Ren, "I got up early today, asked Auntie to open the door early and bought some meat buns from Hong Ji."

  "Huh?" Hao Ren held a hot steamed bun, somewhat unexpected.

  "Go ahead and eat, you'll have energy to play basketball! I've already eaten!" Xie Yu Jia pushed Hao Ren's palm and said.

  "Monitor, we want some too! We want some too!" Huang Jianfeng and several others shouted out.

  "No way! Just these three steamed buns. Besides, you guys aren't even playing basketball!" Xie Yu Jia turned around and said to them.

  "Who says we don't play ball? We're going to practice too!" They shouted again.

  Xie Yu Jia turned around, facing Hao Ren, and ignored them outright.

  "The class monitor didn't need to bother with them, seeing that group of people shouting and yelling. Hao Ren also felt helpless. He ate three buns and immediately felt his stomach warm up, feeling much more comfortable."

  "Alright! Let's warm up a bit and then I'll start teaching you how to play!" Xie Yu Jia said with a bright smile, nodding at Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren also nodded, but he still felt a bit strange. As a man, he was actually being taught how to play basketball by a girl.

  As Hao Ren's hands and feet moved, Xie Yu Jia picked up the orange basketball on the ground. "Let's start with the basics first, dribbling. Dribbling isn't just about slapping the ball."

  She crouched down, lowering her center of gravity, and put one arm forward with her left hand, assuming a defensive posture. Her right hand skillfully pressed the basketball down. The moment the ball touched the ground, it bounced back up, and Xie Yu Jia took advantage of the momentum to catch the ball in her palm, followed by a classic wrist-flicking motion, and then pressed the ball down again.

  This flowing cloud and water movement is simply Tai Chi in the water. Such a movement, already standard to the point of being unable to be more standard, except for being slightly slower, the subtlety of the movement is almost on par with the ball-handling movements of players on TV!

  Seeing Yu Rong and others stunned, Hao Ren felt that his face was also redeemed a bit. The class leader had been hiding in secret, originally a basketball master.

  "Hmm? Wait! Where are those guys like Yu Rong looking at?"

  Hao Ren felt that the colors in their eyes were a bit off, and as he followed their line of sight, he realized that they weren't looking at Xie Yu Jia's basketball, but rather at Xie Yu Jia's slightly open collar due to her bending down!

  White, vest inside, revealing a large piece of snow-white skin under her neck, even showing a small piece of beautiful bust!

  Hao Ren hastily stepped in front of her, "Cough cough, class monitor," he pointed to Xie Yu Jia's chest, "That, your clothes"

  Xie Yu Jia lowered her head and looked at her collar. Suddenly she let out a loud cry, using her left hand to cover her neck, and then stood up straight again.

  Her face suddenly turned red, and in this hazy white morning, this touch of red was particularly clear and beautiful.

  "Aren't you ashamed, Ah Ren?" Yu Rong and a few others shouted out in unison.

  Xie Yu Jia's face turned red with anger as she bit her lip, almost shouting back at them.

  "Alright, alright, disperse! Don't provoke the class monitor!" Hao Ren walked over and chased them away.

  Yu Rong and the others were booed away by Hao Ren, and they were forced to leave the basketball court. Standing outside the iron fence of the basketball court, which was quite far away, it wasn't easy for them to see clearly again.

  Then Hao Ren returned to the basketball court, "Get them out of here, class monitor, let's continue."

  "Uh-huh." Xie Yu Jia's face still had a hint of embarrassment, "This dribbling move, uh, where did I just mention it?"

  "You said dribbling isn't as simple as slapping the ball, then you're going to give me a demonstration." Hao Ren said.

  Xie Yu Jia still seemed a bit distracted, so Hao Ren said, "Class leader, you go ahead and demonstrate, I won't look at any places I shouldn't."

  He said that, Xie Yu Jia's face turned even redder, only blaming herself for thinking of wearing just a suitable outfit for sports today and neglecting the fact that playing basketball requires bending. However, she had also chosen a shirt with a relatively small collar, who knew these boys' eyes were so sharp and sensitive?

  Hao Ren said this with his mouth, but in his heart he was saying, "Those scoundrels Yu Rong and others, how dare they sneak a peek at the class monitor? If anyone should be looking, it's me alone."

  Yu Rong, standing far outside the field, would probably rush in and scold Hao Ren for being a "hypocrite" if he heard that this was his idea.

  Xie Yu Jia used her fingers to pull the neckline in, then bent down, "The correct posture for dribbling is with your feet naturally spread apart, knees slightly bent. Your body should be leaning forward, head up, eyes observing all situations on the court. Then, like this left hand, elbow lifted flat, used to protect the basketball."

  Xie Yu Jia demonstrated while explaining.

  Hao Ren looked at Xie Yu Jia's hands, feet and neckline with a few white skin segments fluttering before his eyes. Although he saw Xie Yu Jia's neckline slowly open, he steadied his mind to observe her dribbling action on her arm.

  When the basketball was passed to Hao Ren, Xie Yu Jia stood beside him again, holding his wrist and waist, adjusting his posture and movements.

  Xie Yu Jia enthusiastically guided him, and didn't think much of it, but Hao Ren felt a bit embarrassed. After all, Xie Yu Jia, such a beauty, was sticking close to him, using her smooth palms to move his wrists back and forth, and even when she got excited, she directly stuck her arm together with Hao Ren's arm to synchronize.

  So-called beautiful private trainers are just like this, right?

  "How despicable! How shameless!" Standing outside the iron fence, they gazed longingly at Hao Ren who was in close contact with Xie Yu Jia on the basketball court a dozen meters away. They looked at Xie Yu Jia's lively and slender figure, as well as her beautiful face. Yu Rong and several others grasped the iron fence, feeling both envy and jealousy.
