"Duanmu Qing, what are you doing? As a police officer, do you know what you're doing?" Yang Shouye criticized Duanmu Qing harshly.

Duanmu Qing looked at the odd glances directed at her, coupled with the scolding from the bureau chief, and couldn't hold back any longer. She covered her face and ran out from the crowd.

Tang Yan left with her. For some reason, since she entered the room, her expression became unnatural. Without greeting anyone, she left, and Fang Qing and Ma Lili hurriedly chased after her.

"Uncle Yang, is there nothing else? Can we leave now?" Yang Wei asked.

"Hmm, there's been nothing for a while now. You can go, and feel free to visit Uncle Yang here whenever you like," Yang Shouye hastily replied.

Seeing Yang Wei's strange look, he realized his words were inappropriate. Who would want to visit the police station for tea? He just chuckled.

"Let's go," Luo Chao waved his hand, and everyone followed him out of the police station.

"Brother Tian, looks like sister-in-law is angry," Du Xin said as soon as they left the station. "I saw her expression just now; she looked really disappointed. She must really like you."

Luo Chao could only smile bitterly. He didn't expect everyone to have seen it. He really liked Tang Yan too, but now she probably wouldn't forgive him.

"Let's not talk about it, let things go naturally."

"Old Three, I didn't expect your dad to be the vice-mayor. You sneaky guy, you're a second-generation official. With your dad protecting us, we can do whatever we want in Liuhai, and see who dares to mess with us," Du Xin said, hugging Yang Wei's shoulder playfully.

Yang Wei frowned: "Don't talk nonsense. I don't want to cause trouble for my dad. After what happened this time, I don't know how he'll lecture me when I get home."

Luo Chao also said: "Yeah, don't stir up trouble and give Uncle Yang a headache."

"I'm just saying."

After everything that happened, it was already very late. Luo Chao and the others called a car and returned to school.

Three peaceful days passed. During this time, Luo Chao didn't see Tang Yan. Ma Lili said that since the day they left the police station, Tang Yan's mood was always bad. She wouldn't even go out to have fun, preferring to stay in her dorm reading books. Luo Chao didn't know what to do either. He wanted to find her and explain what happened that day, but didn't know how to start, so he just let things remain as they were.

That afternoon, the basketball game organized by the school finally officially began. Luo Chao and Yang Wei were pulled to the gym by Fei Yuan and Du Xin. Initially, Du Xin didn't want to participate either, but later he thought that there would definitely be many young girls watching the game. If he could score gracefully once after another without giving the opponents any chance to fight back, wouldn't he win the admiration of many girls? Happily, he signed up with Chen Dong.

When they reached the gym, even Luo Chao was almost overwhelmed by the heated atmosphere. Aside from the central playing area, the surroundings were completely filled with students packed tightly together. On the sidelines were many girls wearing cheerleading outfits or oversized jerseys, paired with short skirts and knee-high school socks, holding pom-poms, cheerfully motivating the players of their class. These girls were the class cheerleaders. An array of long and white legs made Luo Chao and Yang Wei drool.

In the player's resting area, Du Xin and Fei Yuan had already changed into their jerseys. Du Xin looked at the other teams with so many girls cheering excitedly. Not without envy, he said to Fei Yuan: "We don't need cheerleaders at all. Look at that team; I suppose they only have those few guys sneaking into areas with lots of girls. I really despise that." This was typical sour grapes mentality.

Fei Yuan responded: "Yeah, indeed. We'll give them a real awakening later; eliminate their team, and their cheerleaders will cheer for us."

Du Xin looked admirably at the tall black figure in front of him and raised his thumb: "Brilliant, boss, your idea is simply amazing. We'll do just that later on in Damo Qiying Zhuan reading. Chen Dong, you guys need to give your best later. As soon as you get the ball, pass it directly to me or boss Fei." Chen Dong and the others nodded.

The Computer Science Class Two participants included Fei Yuan and Du Xin, as well as Chen Dong and two other young boys. Chen Dong was the class monitor, so of course, he'd lead by example to participate, whereas the other two, scrawny as they were, had been dragged in by Du Xin under pressure and bribery. Du Xin originally wanted Luo Chao and Yang Wei to participate too so that their dormitory would have a strong presence, and the four of them could win the championship. However, Luo Chao and Yang Wei did not buy into this at all and didn't want to show themselves.

With the game about to start, the class teacher, Dong Jie, came over to give a pep talk, essentially saying they should show their spirit, and it was okay even if they lost. It seemed she didn't have high hopes for her team's ranking, just hoped they wouldn't lose face.

With a whistle from the referee, the game officially started. Immediately, there was a chorus of cheers from the opposite resting area, all encouraging shouts. Compared to them, the aura of Class Two was completely overshadowed, filled with men, making it awkward to compete with a group of girls. The only two girls from Class Two ran off to cheer for another class.

Fortunately, Fei Yuan, doing the jump ball, was not distracted by the opposing cheerleaders and promptly tipped the ball single-handedly. Du Xin seized the opportunity, faking out his opponents, snatched the ball and skillfully dribbled past, scoring a layup in three steps, claiming the first two points for Class Two.

From then on, it was almost a one-sided crush. The team they faced was a class from the Art Department, physically similar to Chen Dong and the other two. Class Two took advantage of Fei Yuan's height and Du Xin's speed to continuously score, while the Art Department relied mainly on a player with decent accuracy from outside to occasionally land a few three-point shots, sparing them from total embarrassment. Their cheerleaders gradually quieted down, while Du Xin would throw a flirtatious wink to the girls each time he scored a basket, actually charming a few into cheering him on, only to be drowned out by the crowd's complaints.

Towards the end of the game, the opposing team barely put up any resistance, letting Du Xin and his teammates dribble past them. The score eventually settled at 70 to 23.

"Well done, keep it up," Class teacher Dong Jie praised, a beautiful smile of excitement spreading across her face. She hadn't expected Fei Yuan and Du Xin's basketball skills to be so good, suggesting they might have a chance.
