Chapter 54 The Coach's Move (1)

  "Congratulations, Wang Rui! Congratulations on joining the basketball team. You're so awesome, able to join the school team in just first year of high school."

  "Really, Wang Rui. You're so awesome! I heard that this time the basketball team only recruited three new freshmen from high school, and I didn't expect you to be one of them."

  "I heard that our school will be holding a basketball match for the whole grade in first year, let's see what you're capable of then. Wang Rui."

  A boy in Lin Xiaoyu's class was selected for the basketball team, and during recess, a group of classmates gathered around Wang Cui's seat to congratulate him.

  "It's nothing, I just joined the basketball team and haven't even had a chance to play yet. But I'll work hard to become a main player." Although Wang Rui humbly responded to his classmates' praise, the proud look on his face still showed that he was very proud of being able to join the basketball team.

  "Xiao Yu Ge."

  Lin Xiaoyu, who was tapping on the table and listening to the CD player, was called up by her classmate Zhang Bo.

  "What's up?" Lin Xiaoyu raised her head and took a look at this soft-spoken little boy. Zhang Bo was probably the most familiar classmate of Lin Xiaoyu in this class.

  "Here's a basketball magazine that just arrived, I'll let you take a look first." Zhang Bo handed Lin Xiaoyu a colorful magazine with the cover printed with two eye-catching big characters "Slam Dunk".

  "Oh, thank you so much, Xiao Bai. I'm so bored to death right now." Lin Xiaoyu smiled and thanked Zhang Bo. Since getting to know Lin Xiaoyu, Zhang Bo always gave her some basketball magazines to read first. It was just as well, because when Lin Xiaoyu got bored in class, she had these magazines to pass the time.

  "Little Brother Lin, why don't you join the school basketball team?" Zhang Bo asked in a low voice, asking Lin Xiaoyu who was roughly flipping through that magazine.

  "Oh, I don't really want to participate in this." Lin Xiaoyu thought of those two people who made her feel uncomfortable when she heard about the basketball team, and she didn't want to mention anything related to the basketball team again. She would rather find a place to practice alone than join such a basketball team. This was what Lin Xiaoyu had always thought.

  "Why? Joining the basketball team is a great thing. I heard that the basketball team also gives bonuses. Moreover, members of the basketball team can be prioritized as school pioneers. With your skills, joining the basketball team will definitely make you a mainstay." Zhang Bo said, glancing at Wang Rui, who was still chatting with his classmates at his desk, and thought to himself that Lin Xiaoyu was definitely several times better at playing basketball than Wang Rui, who always bragged about himself.

  "This has nothing to do with me. I think the people who play basketball in school are not interesting. I just don't want to participate." Lin Xiaoyu really didn't want to play basketball with some people she didn't like, Lin Xiaoyu felt that this was particularly unenthusiastic.

  In Lin Xiaoyu's heart, playing basketball is a team project, and the purpose of playing ball is for happiness. As his own teammate, it's okay to have poor ball skills or even not know how to play, as long as they're happy. However, Lin Xiaoyu dislikes playing with people who are arrogant like idiots. The basketball team member at the registration point that day was this kind of person, and Lin Xiaoyu despised such people from the bottom of his heart, so he was very disappointed in the basketball team. Lin Xiaoyu would rather have a few teammates like Zhang Bo in front of him who are not very good at playing ball but are very humble and sincere towards basketball, because even if they lose the game, they can still find happiness in it.

  Zhang Bo heard Lin Xiaoyu say that playing basketball with the school team was not interesting, so Zhang Bo mistakenly thought that Lin Xiaoyu felt that the school team's level was too low and didn't want to stay there. Zhang Bo looked at Lin Xiaoyu with even more admiration in his eyes. This person is really amazing at playing ball, he doesn't even put the school team in his eyes. Zhang Bo had seen Lin Xiaoyu's basketball skills before, and he thought that Lin Xiaoyu definitely had the ability to surpass the school team.

  Lin Xiaoyu did not know that Zhang Bo had already misunderstood his words and continued to flip through the latest issue of "Slam Dunk" magazine.

  Bian Guohui felt a little disappointed at this time, because he had been looking for the boy who defeated his team in the previous interschool junior high school basketball game, and he had been searching from class to class along the teaching building of grade one. Now it was time for morning classes, and almost every class had a full attendance. However, Bian Guohui, who was carefully searching for the boy's shadow outside the window of each classroom in the corridor, still didn't get any results.

  That boy must be a first-year high school student, because Wen Guohui remembered that the boy was in the same batch as his proud disciple Chen Yonghui from junior high school. By counting the years, he should definitely be in his first year of high school this year. However, after Wen Guohui looked through all ten classrooms of the first-year students, he felt disappointed.

  He didn't see that boy. Where was that boy after all? Bo Guohui stood on the corridor of High One, thinking.

  At this time, Lin Xiaoyu was sound asleep on his desk, a book open on the desk in front of him covering his face, making the teacher at the podium think he was studying hard. Little did Lin Xiaoyu know that even as he slept, the basketball team's coach was looking for him, determined to recruit him into the very basketball team that Lin Xiaoyu disliked.

  Yan Nan was hurrying to school, carrying her cute little backpack and running a bit on the school path. She had stayed up late last night, and neither her alarm clock nor Song Auntie had been able to wake her up. By now, the second class had already started, and Yan Nan finally rushed to school in a flurry.

  Yan Nan ran all the way, scanning her surroundings with her beautiful eyes to see if there were any disciplinary teachers in sight. Everything went smoothly and safely. Yan Nan ran up to the teaching building with a hint of complacency, but just as she was only a few meters away from her classroom, she saw a teacher standing at the corner of the corridor on the teaching building, standing on the road that she had to take to get to class.

  Yan Nan hesitated for a moment, this teacher seemed a bit familiar, but didn't seem to be the discipline inspection teacher. Yan Nan thought about it in her heart and then didn't care whether this teacher would criticize or educate herself, slowly walking past the corner of that corridor.

  Bin Guohui suddenly saw a student wearing a school uniform and carrying a backpack walking up the stairs. Bin Guohui couldn't help but sigh: Nowadays, students are really all kinds of people. It's almost time for the second class to end, and yet there is still someone who has just arrived. However, Bin Guohui was only in charge of the basketball team, so he turned a blind eye to this kind of student misconduct.

  Let the teachers handle such things, my basketball team is already enough to worry about. Bian Guohui has never been one to like meddling in affairs, and when he was in school before, he was also a truant king. Seeing this very pretty girl slowly walking past him, quietly preparing to enter the first classroom, Bian Guohui suddenly remembered something. He hastily called out: "Hey, that female classmate, please come over here for a moment."

  Yan Nan originally saw the teacher standing at the corner of the corridor and didn't call out to her, asking her to register her name and class. Yan Nan knew that this teacher was not the discipline inspector, and she couldn't help but feel a slight sense of relief in her heart. Yan Nan slowly walked to the front of her classroom, just as she was thinking about how to sneak in unnoticed, she heard the teacher who had been standing at the corner of the corridor call out to her.

  "It's over, what can't be avoided will eventually catch up." Yan Nang turned his back to the teacher and scrunched up his eyebrows in a cute way.

  "Teacher, I'm sick today, so I came a bit late. Can you give me another chance?" Yan Nan turned around with a pitiful expression and said to the teacher who called her name. The beautiful Yan Nan often used this trick on male teachers, which was very effective. Her lovely face with that adorable expression made many teachers unable to bear giving her demerits.

  Yan Nian sneaked a glance at the tall and imposing teacher, and found that he didn't seem to have the same ominous signs as the disciplinary teacher. Yan Nian felt a small sense of satisfaction in her heart, thinking that this tactic was quite effective. Next time, she would use it on Xiao Yu, that big fool, and let him know how to be more considerate. Yan Nian often found herself inadvertently thinking of someone who had been hidden in her heart all along.

  "Oh, this classmate of mine is not a teacher from the Discipline Inspection Commission." Ben Guohui did not expect that this girl would take him as a teacher from the Discipline Inspection Commission and immediately came up with an excuse for a sick leave. Ben Guohui's eyes, which were famous for being sharp in sports, could see that this girl had just run upstairs with great energy, how could she have such good spirits if she was on sick leave? However, Ben Guohui did not need to expose the excuse of this clever and beautiful girl.

  Yan Nan heard the teacher say that he wasn't a discipline inspection teacher, and slightly let out a breath of relief. However, at the same time, a question popped up in his mind - if he wasn't a discipline inspection teacher, then what did he want with him?
