The Heir is Here: Quiet Down, School Prince! - Chapter 170

Chapter 170

An Xiaxia and Su Xiaomo asked in unison .

Mu Li chewed on her lip and chose her words carefully before saying, “He was injured because of some family affair… That was why he couldn’t come to the game . He’s a short-tempered and stubborn person and never explains anything to other people, so everyone thought he was only being capricious when he didn’t show up . Actually, he’s been practicing until very late everyday before this!”

At that, An Xiaxia and Su Xiaomo felt silent .

It turned out that they had been mistaken about Qi Yanxi…

Family affair… it couldn’t have been domestic violence, could it? An Xiaxia and Su Xiaomo exchanged a look and saw the concern in each other’s eyes .

“We’ve lost a game and our ranking has dropped a lot . The next game is against Chenjiang and they’re the strongest school team in Yu City . If we lose again, we’ll be eliminated, right?” An Xiaxia sighed .

Chenjiang was even stronger than Shengyin . How could they possibly win?

“Chenjian has Tang Yu… the fiend and the top player in the district team . I bet he’ll make it into the national team in a few years!” Su Xiaomo wailed .

There was no hope for Qixia with such a team as their opponent!

–

The cheer squad had their practice as usual, but no one was in the mood and everyone simply stood around .

The coach was fully aware of the current situation and could only dismiss the squad early so that they could go home and adjust their mindset .

Meanwhile, the basketball team was also practicing dispiritedly .

They all knew that Qixia’s wins were built on Qi Yanxi’s attack, Kang Jian’s defense, and the captain Ling Jiye’s three-pointers . Now that the first two were absent, it was only natural that morale was low .

A tall figure walked toward them with steady steps and a calm face .

He stood in front of Ling Jiye and smiled at the surprised faces around him .

“Hello . I’m here to — join the basketball team . ”

An Xiaxia was stuck on another difficult question while doing her homework that night .

She tried to search for help online, but the question was too unconventional and the search came back empty .

Who should she ask? Papa An? He was probably still busy in the coffee shop . An Yibei? Hm… no, he would definitely laugh at her!

After much consideration, An Xiaxia finally took the familiar trip upstairs with her exercise book and knocked on Sheng Yize’s door .

“Come in . ” At the concise reply, An Xiaxia pushed the door open and stuck her little head in .

Sheng Yize darted a look in her direction at the sound and was visibly surprised to find An Xiaxia there .

He paused the video playing on his computer and rose to his feet . “What’s wrong?”

“I don’t know how to do this problem…” An Xiaxia said sheepishly .

“Dummy!” The one-word evaluation shattered An Xiaxia’s fragile little heart .

“I’m a dummy compared with you . When there’s comparison, there’s humiliation…” An Xiaxia had accepted that fact by now .

Sheng Yize took her exercise book . “Which problem?”

An Xiaxia pointed with her fair and soft finger . Sheng Yize gave the problem a quick glance, then explained it to her .

An Xiaxia’s eyes shifted to the computer on his desk .

Wait, weren’t those basketball tactics?

“Why are you watching this?” An Xiaxia couldn’t help but ask .

Sheng Yize narrowed his eyes, then gave her a stern look . “What do you think I should watch, then?”

“Um…” According to Kang Jian, boys their age all watched films with a little “action . ” Was that the case with Sheng Yize as well?

An Xiaxia imagined Sheng Yize watching porn in her head and chuckled involuntarily .

Pat, pat, pat —

Sheng Yize tapped the table with her exercise book and couldn’t stand it anymore . “Stop laughing or I’m throwing you out!”
