In Mo Yun’s eyes, the basketball court was his kingdom, and he was determined to prove himself in front of his goddess, showing that Xiao Yufan was utterly inferior and unworthy of being her boyfriend.
Xiao Yufan naturally saw through Mo Yun’s intentions. With his current strength, basketball was nothing more than a joke to him. Even beyond the three-point line, Xiao Yufan was confident he could jump and slam dunk the ball.
His body had reached the realm of physical cultivation, surpassing human limits, making it impossible to judge him by ordinary standards.
“Since it’s been a while since my brother last played, I’ll be sure to give you extra attention on the court!” Mo Yun’s eyes flickered with a sharp glint, emphasizing the words “give extra attention.” It was clear he had already decided to humiliate Xiao Yufan—who else could be blamed for this man’s arrogance?
“Go get ’em, honey!” Lan Yue smiled sweetly, her lips curling into a charming grin, which only irritated Mo Yun. After all these years, he had never received such affection.
At that moment, Mo Yun’s gaze turned cold and dark, though he quickly masked it. Xiao Yufan noticed everything, already forming a plan in his mind.
If someone insisted on playing dirty tricks, he wouldn’t hold back either. Those who intend harm must be ready to be harmed in return. With his strength, dealing with this guy wouldn’t even require deliberate effort.
This was simply the gap in power…
Xiao Yufan followed closely behind Mo Yun and discussed the match with the players on both sides. It was decided to play a three-on-three half-court game. However, the two teammates assigned to Xiao Yufan were clearly not as strong or built as Mo Yun’s team.
Mo Yun’s team had the first possession, and naturally, the ball went to him. But when he looked up, he found to his surprise that Xiao Yufan had taken a position outside the three-point line, showing no intention of challenging him one-on-one.
Xiao Yufan, noticing Mo Yun’s gaze, simply grinned and made no move to block him.
“Hmph, just wait until I show you what’s what,” Mo Yun thought darkly as he dribbled the ball and dashed quickly toward the basket.
Mo Yun clearly outclassed Xiao Yufan’s two teammates in both physique and skill. Even when they tried to double-team him, he easily faked past them with a quick move and leaped, smoothly sinking the shot into the basket.
It had taken less than ten seconds from the start of the game—1-0 for Mo Yun.
Mo Yun ran halfway around the court in celebration before casting a provocative glance at Xiao Yufan.
“Is my husband really not good at basketball? Why is he just standing there…” Lan Yue couldn’t help but wonder. Watching Xiao Yufan remain calm and composed, she couldn’t tell whether he was pretending or truly had no skill.
“Man, you have to guard Yun Ge. We can’t stop him,” one of Xiao Yufan’s teammates approached and said. It was obvious to everyone that the two of them couldn’t contain Mo Yun, so they weren’t about to pretend otherwise.
Xiao Yufan had stood still from the start, which left his teammates somewhat dissatisfied. Even if he didn’t know how to play well, at least come over and interfere a little. Two versus three with such a big gap in strength was practically asking for a one-sided beating.
Among the three, only Xiao Yufan was tall enough to match Mo Yun, but they certainly didn’t believe he had the ability to stop him.
“Alright,” Xiao Yufan shrugged indifferently. It seemed even his teammates didn’t have much faith in him. If a tiger doesn’t show its claws, people will mistake it for a weak cat.
Mo Yun’s team retained possession, and once again, the ball was in his hands. Xiao Yufan moved to the free-throw line, facing Mo Yun, but made no effort to spread his arms defensively.
Mo Yun could tell immediately—this guy had clearly never played seriously before. He didn’t even know the basic defensive stance. A mocking smile appeared on Mo Yun’s face.
Meeting that foolishly provocative gaze, Xiao Yufan simply narrowed his eyes, smiling without saying a word. The one who laughs last laughs best…
“Watch out, here I come,” Mo Yun growled lowly, the ball bouncing rapidly between his legs at a dizzying speed. This level of skill was not something just anyone could master, and he was proud of how many naive girls he had impressed with it.
A crowd had already gathered around the court, and seeing Mo Yun’s incredible dribbling speed, spontaneous applause broke out.
At Huaqing University, Mo Yun was considered a campus heartthrob with a well-established reputation. Many spectators had gathered around the basketball hoop, and even Xiao Yufan had to admit that Mo Yun’s skill was on par with his own back in his university days.
“Whoosh…”
Mo Yun, who had been dribbling in place, suddenly surged forward. The ball seemed glued to his palm as his body leapt forward two meters in an instant, arriving right in front of Xiao Yufan. This move triggered a chorus of shrieks from the fangirls.
Mo Yun charged straight at Xiao Yufan without changing direction. If Xiao Yufan didn’t dodge, they would collide head-on.
Gasps rose from the crowd. There was a noticeable difference in their builds. If Xiao Yufan got hit by Mo Yun, he would definitely be sent flying. The only one who wasn’t worried was Lan Yue. She knew the kind of monstrous strength hidden beneath her husband’s calm exterior.
Just as everyone thought they would collide, Xiao Yufan suddenly curved his lips into a faint smile and in an instant, dodged aside—so fast that most people hadn’t even registered the movement.
“Shhh…”
With no resistance, Mo Yun’s body shot past Xiao Yufan’s previous position. His body staggered, nearly falling over, and the ball slipped from his hands.
Mo Yun had tensed his entire body, ready for a head-on clash. After all, there was no referee here. To humiliate Xiao Yufan, fouling was an acceptable cost.
But who could have predicted that Xiao Yufan would suddenly dodge at the last moment, leaving all of Mo Yun’s force without a target, causing him to lose balance and almost fall flat on his face.
“Wow…”
The crowd erupted in astonishment. No one had expected such a dramatic turn of events. Mo Yun had failed to humiliate his opponent and nearly embarrassed himself instead.
Xiao Yufan reacted swiftly, catching the ball that Mo Yun had lost control of. As for what happened to Mo Yun, it was of no concern to him. If that guy wanted to make him look bad, he wouldn’t hold back either.
“What a coward! I thought he was going to block Mo Yun head-on!” Some people expressed disdain, clearly seeing Xiao Yufan as the number one enemy on campus. After all, who else had managed to win over Huaqing University’s most beautiful girl?
But Xiao Yufan paid no attention to their twisted thoughts. He was only worried that Mo Yun’s fragile frame might not be able to withstand the kind of impact he had intended to deliver…
