Chapter 71: Conflict with the Barbaric Beauty Manager

  "Alright everyone stop and take a break." Coach Bian Guohui of Feicui City Experimental Middle School basketball team shouted to the players training on the court.

  The team members, covered in sweat, heard the announcement of rest and immediately swarmed to the side of the court where water was placed, asking Lin Cijie, the beautiful female manager sitting there, for water to quench their thirst.

  Lin Xiaoyu rarely ran to the wild girl named Lin Cijie to get water because usually when Lin Xiaoyu played basketball, Yan Nan would bring her water. But now that winter break had started, Yan Nan went on vacation with her family, so there was no Yan Nan, the beautiful girl who brought her water, and Lin Xiaoyu could only go to Lin Cijie's place to get a drink.

  Lin Xiaoyu's teammates, who looked like they had just returned from a long journey through the desert, surrounded the team's female manager like a pack of wolves, asking for water to drink. Lin Xiaoyu couldn't squeeze in and could only stand on the periphery of the crowd, slowly waiting for her teammates to finish drinking and disperse before going to get water herself. Lin Xiaoyu felt that if her teammates' tenacity and stubbornness during their fight for water could be put onto the field, it would definitely make their opponents tremble with fear, but unfortunately, she could only see this spirit in her teammates during their off-field time.

  "Ah, no way! Our little Yu is also going to suffer the same fate as us and drink from a big bucket of water. How rare!" Zhang Jialin struggled to get out of the crowd with a cup of water in his hand, savoring the hard-won water. When he saw Lin Xiaoyu standing outside the venue with empty hands, Zhang Jialin glanced at the empty stands around the court and didn't see the beautiful girl Yan Nan's figure. He knew that Lin Xiaoyu was waiting for a drink of water, so he teased her with a stifled smile.

  Lin Xiaoyu would often run to the stands during training breaks to drink water prepared by Yan Nan, and Lin Xiaoyu's treatment had always made Zhang Jialin and other players envious. So many times when everyone was drinking water, they couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaoyu with envy and jealousy as he sat next to the beautiful girl, leisurely drinking his water. At this time, Zhang Jialin finally saw an opportunity to tease Lin Xiaoyu and wouldn't let it go.

  "Drink your water, careful not to choke that big mouth of yours." Lin Xiaoyu gave a cold glance at Zhang Jialin who was holding a cup of water and said with an unpleasant tone.

  Lin Xiaoyu and the team members have already become very familiar with each other, and such small jokes are often laughed at among these athletes. The friendship between athletes is like this, usually loving to quarrel and laugh together in daily life, and deepening their friendship and tacit understanding on the field in such a harmonious atmosphere.

  "Haha, it's rare that I feel balanced after drinking water today. Hmm, I don't know why, but the water seems especially delicious today......" Zhang Jialin made a funny face as he held his cup of water and took a sip, sighing to Lin Xiaoyu.

  Lin Xiaoyu saw Zhang Jialin's exaggerated expression and really had no choice, but Lin Xiaoyu still pretended to be eager to grab the water from Zhang Jialin. "Really? If it's so delicious, let me have a few sips to try, I'm thirsty anyway..."

  "No way, no way, if you want to drink it, go get it yourself... I had a hard time getting this cup of water from that pack of wolves..." Zhang Jialin saw Lin Xiaoyu trying to grab the water from him and immediately turned around with his back facing Lin Xiaoyu, carefully holding onto the cup as he walked away. It seems that grabbing a cup of water is just as difficult as grabbing a ball.

  Lin Xiaoyu saw Zhang Jialin hiding to one side to drink water, then looked at the place where they were drinking. Now most of the players are holding cups full of water, and there are still a few players holding cups for Lin Cijie, the female manager, to pour water. Lin Xiaoyu saw that Lin Cijie, who had always given her a very savage impression, seemed to have changed from her usual self. Lin Xiaoyu saw that Lin Cijie was now holding a large water bottle, patiently and carefully pouring water for one player after another.

  The large water jug might be a bit heavy for the girl to lift, and Lin Cijie's hands holding the water jug seemed to be straining with effort, sweat slowly appearing on her very pretty face. However, Lin Cijie still carefully poured water for each team member, a faint smile hanging on her face, which would often leave many of the players she was pouring water for staring blankly in surprise.

  Lin Xiaoyu waited until Lin Cijie had filled up the last player's water cup before slowly walking over.

  "Could you pour me a glass of water?" Lin Xiaoyu said politely.

  Lin Cijie raised her head and looked at Lin Xiaoyu, her tone suddenly dropping a few degrees, saying coldly: "You go get the cup on the table yourself, or how can I pour it for you now?"

  Illusion, it was absolutely an illusion. Lin Xiaoyu walked to the side table to pick up a cup while thinking about the gentle and polite attitude of Lin Cijie pouring water for someone else earlier. Lin Xiaoyu thought she must have seen it wrong. How could that unreasonable and savage girl possibly be polite? She had just been treated unfriendly by her again. So Lin Xiaoyu thought the gentle and polite Lin Cijie she saw earlier was an illusion.

  Lin Xiaoyu held the cup and placed it in front of Lin Cijie, the female manager of that team. This time, Lin Xiaoyu didn't say any polite words anymore. At this moment, Lin Xiaoyu only hoped that the water flow from the kettle could be a bit bigger, so that the process of pouring water would end quickly, and she could quickly leave this unreasonable and barbaric girl.

  Lin Xiaoyu's wish seems to have been fulfilled to some extent, but in a certain sense Lin Xiaoyu's wish seems not to have come true.

  When a large amount of water poured out from the mouth of the water bottle in the hands of Team Manager Lin Cijie, the rapid flow indeed fulfilled Lin Xiaoyu's wish to fill up the water quickly. However, it was unclear whether Team Manager Lin Cijie did it intentionally or unintentionally, but the pouring water column did not pour into Lin Xiaoyu's paper cup, but instead poured onto the edge of the cup in Lin Xiaoyu's hand. The pouring water immediately made Lin Xiaoyu's hands wet and soggy. Lin Xiaoyu was suddenly splashed by this stream of water on her own hands, hurriedly moved her hands away, fortunately, Lin Xiaoyu's athletic reflexes were very good, after moving her hands away, she also jumped back a small step, otherwise, the water column would have helped Lin Xiaoyu wash her hands and then started to help Lin Xiaoyu wash her shoes.

  Fortunately, the water was poured out of a bucket of purified water, and it was all cool water. If it were hot water, Lin Xiaoyu's hand would have been scalded to three or four points. Lin Xiaoyu didn't dare let this female manager named Lin Cijie pour water for herself again. Lin Xiaoyu signaled for Lin Cijie to hand over the kettle, and then quickly filled a cup with water in her left hand holding the cup and right hand holding the kettle, before hastily running to a place far away from Lin Cijie to drink the water. Lin Xiaoyu really didn't dare to drink water near this wild girl who seemed to have some kind of fate clash with herself, fearing that she would be choked by the water.

  Lin Xiaoyu had just finished drinking the last few mouthfuls of water in her cup, which was hard to come by, when Bian Guohui shouted "Start training!"

  Lin Cijie, sitting on the sidelines watching the players running back and forth on the court, revealed a faint smile that was hard to detect when she saw the player named Lin Xiaoyu. Earlier, pouring water on his hand was completely intentional, who made this little brat hit himself with things several times? She had never had the chance to give him a hard time, and now he came to ask her for water, Lin Cijie wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. Thinking of herself pouring water on that little brat's hand, Lin Cijie felt it was an extremely delightful thing.

  Lin Cijie watched Lin Xiaoyu running seriously on the court, thinking that this was just the beginning, and there would be plenty of opportunities to tease this annoying little boy who couldn't get along with himself. As Lin Cijie thought about it, a sly and lovely smile appeared on his face again.

  Poor Lin Xiaoyu suddenly had a bad feeling on the court, but he didn't know that this feeling came from the beautiful manager Lin Cijie who was standing by the sidelines and seemed to be his nemesis. It seems that Lin Xiaoyu's days in the basketball team won't be easy.
