Chapter 17: Hero Saves Beauty

  In the moment I saw Yitian rush over to catch Han Yue, I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. Compared to the first time's excessive nervousness, this time, I discovered that I wasn't as great as I thought I was. The dark thoughts that flashed through my mind at that instant were so ugly they shocked myself.

  Leaf Snow

  The team was divided into two teams, Sui Tian led one team and Han Yue led the other team, while Sui Xiang observed from outside.

  The game started, and Han Yue performed mediocrely, no different from others, and even struggled a bit.

  Ye Xue furrowed her brow: "Yi Xiang, didn't we force her a bit just now?"

  "I feel like something's off, didn't Little Moon say she had a trump card?" Su Yixiang stared at the match, his gaze suddenly changing as he smiled and said: "Ah, Little Moon is now observing her opponent, she'll make her move soon." An outsider can see more clearly, I don't know if brother has noticed or not, if you're still not careful, it's very likely that you'll lose miserably.

  Temporary rest, currently Su Yitian's team is leading.

  During the break, Su Yi Xiang went over and told Su Yi Tian about the situation.

  "I know." Su Yitian nodded, drinking water and seeing Han Yue quietly talking to the team members, seemingly discussing the deployment for the second half.

  Back on the field, Su Yi Xiang could feel Han Yue's aura and it was different from before. Han Yue smiled slyly at Su Yi Tian who was blocking his way just a few seconds after the game started, then dodged him quickly and ran with the ball after receiving a pass from his teammate.

  Su Yi's mouth was agape as he stared at Han Yue, his face filled with shock.

  Only to see the cold moon with the ball, still in a foggy way of playing, but that kind of method is indeed something they can't do. Turning sideways, lowering waist, rotating, turning over, jumping up and down, it's like fighting with a group of people attacking, yet also like elegantly dancing in the crowd, if really can't dodge then pass the ball to teammate on the side, then quickly regain control of the ball and continue to tangle with the enemy, finally successfully shooting the hoop under everyone's eyes.

  In these processes, Su Yi Xiang was worried that Han Yue would get hurt at any moment, but Han Yue was like practicing the Ling Bo Micro Step, always barely crossing over obstacles.

  Take a temporary break, Han Yue and the others are in the lead. Su Yi Xiang rushed over excitedly wanting to hug Han Yue, but was dodged by Han Yue in time due to past experiences.

  "My goodness, Xiao Yue, you're amazing! I admire you!" Su Yi Xiang excitedly pulled Han Yue and asked, "Quickly tell me, how did you train to become like this?"

  "Ice, Han Yue needs a rest, she can't keep up with her physical strength." Su Yi Tian stopped Su Yi Xiang.

  "Oh, let's talk about it later." Su Yixiang saw that Han Yue was indeed a physically demanding type, and he hurriedly smiled awkwardly, then couldn't help but excitedly discuss with the other team members.

  Han Yue took the towel from Ye Xue and wiped her sweat, in the midst of the noisy crowd, she heard Su Yitian speaking on her behalf, and couldn't help but look up at him, only to see him turn around to drink water before their eyes met.

  The final match, due to Han Yue's specialty, Su Yi Tian and another person on the team focused their attention on Han Yue, forcing Han Yue's movements to be restricted for a moment. However, after a while, Han Yue seemed to have found an opening between the two of them. Although it wasn't as easy as before, it was enough to let his own team take the lead in points, and that move was also executed more perfectly than ever.

  Ye Xue sighed: "Such a small moon is really attractive." Unfortunately, it was booked by Jing Ao early on, otherwise there would definitely be many boys chasing after her.

  "Exciting!" Su Yi Xiang was worried about Han Yue's and his fans' emotions as he watched the game. Due to the special situation of the match, more and more people gathered around to watch, and the cheers and applause grew louder. The game was about to end, with the last ball in Han Yue's hands. Seeing that time was almost up, Han Yue smiled slightly and turned around, taking the ball back.

  If the ball goes in, it's a complete victory. If not, we'll have to play extra time. Su Yitian, you're quite formidable too, but I still want to win. To be honest, I don't have the energy to play extra time anymore, so let's just gamble and see whose accuracy is higher.

  Su Yi Xiang exclaimed in surprise: "Xiao Yue is going to shoot directly? From so far away!" Not only might the shot not go in, but it's also very likely that someone will intercept it midway.

  In the midst of surprise, Su Yitian was already ready to intercept, but at the same time, Han Yue jumped high and threw the basketball towards the hoop. It wasn't spinning over people's heads, but instead flew past from the side in a curved trajectory.

  After throwing the ball, Han Yue didn't even look to see if it went in, she just felt that her strength was finally exhausted. As soon as the ball was thrown out, she immediately thought about how to avoid being unstable when landing. At the same time, Han Yue felt a slight lightness at the back of her head, and her hair suddenly scattered. The ribbon that tied up her hair had come undone, and Han Yue's attention wavered for a moment, causing her to pause in adjusting her landing movement, and her body instantly lost its balance.

  It's all over. Han Yue closed her eyes, and now it wasn't about how to steady herself, but how to minimize the injury when she fell. However, in that split second, Han Yue felt someone catch her.

  There were gasps of surprise, cheers and loud applause. Han Yue's first thought was that the ball must have gone in.

  As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Su Yi Tian's face. That face, which usually had only one expression, was different because of her, due to the effort and worry, it finally had a different look from its usual proud and cold demeanor. One hand was wrapped around her shoulder, the other was holding her knee, Han Yue could feel the warmth of his fingertips, which wasn't as cold as she had imagined.

  Han Yue blinked: "Thank you."

  Su Yi Tian let go of Han Yue and helped her up, saying nothing, his gaze fixed on the basketball that was still spinning after it had fallen to the ground.

  Su Yi Xiang rushed over, shouting loudly to see if Han Yue was okay. Seeing that Han Yue was fine, he smiled and said: "Brother, saving the beauty should be my job! Ah, how did you get to do it first?"

  "Just happened to be by her side." Su Yi Tian glanced at Su Yi Xiang, "Wait for her, she should go to the hospital now."

  "Who said that!" Su Yi Xiang was left speechless by Su Yi Tian's rebuke, but he stubbornly retorted, "Don't believe it? Try again then!"

  "It's settled then. Even if it were a case of a hero saving a beauty, it wouldn't be your turn, Little Moon is someone with a master to her famous flower." Ye Xue handed the hair ribbon to Han Yue and smiled as she scolded Su Yi Xiang.

  The team members all looked at Han Yue with a slightly surprised expression, though they were envious, but more curious who could win the favor of this temporary coach?

  Su Yi Xiang was still in excitement: "Xiao Yue, were you previously doing gymnastics or martial arts? Ah, I think you can totally go to the school's martial arts institute as a coach!"

  I feel like your feelings towards Su Yitian have changed.

  (Ah, really? He just saved me, thanking him is normal.)

  Haha, after showing off enough, come back.

  Oh, and another thing, I'm tired of always substituting for you, it's really exhausting.

  Ye Xue saw Han Yue not speaking and asked with concern: "Is everything okay?"

  "A bit tired, I think I'll go back and rest first." Han Yue lightly laughed and shook her head. In her heart, she didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed, but she had fulfilled the promise she made to Su Yi Xiang after all. Han Yue used a silk ribbon to gently tie up her hair, softly leaning it to one side. In an instant, the sharp aura from practicing martial arts transformed into a gentle and calm demeanor.

  Han Yue left first. The other team members still had to stay and discuss tomorrow's match.

  In a corner of the stadium, a young man wearing a black jersey was heading to the main basketball training area when he passed by the Tianxiang team's training zone and was drawn in by the cheering crowd. He arrived just in time to see the final part of their practice. A faint smile played on his handsome face, giving him an air of mischief: "Misty Basketball, haha, this is interesting."
