Me, a Nobody, Became the Villainess's White Moonlight? - Volume 1 Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Big Ball, Small Ball?

***

Yu Chuyao looked at her, unable to understand what else she could possibly do in this situation.

Obviously, she had underestimated Tang Xiaorou’s capabilities.

Q City First High School’s campus construction was first-rate. Because it was a new campus built after the 20th century, everything from the teaching buildings, playground, dormitories, cafeteria, and office buildings all looked aesthetically pleasing from the outside.

The basketball courts and tennis courts were enclosed by tall iron fences, looking very official.

Tang Xiaorou pulled Yu Chuyao through the side door, squeezed through the crowd of onlookers, and walked to the area where girls were gathered.

Su Yingying was standing there, though Jiang Xinxin, who was usually inseparable from her, wasn’t seen.

“What do you want to do?” Su Yingying had thought that after she provoked Tang Xiaorou, the other party wouldn’t pay attention to her. But then she thought since Tang Xiaorou had said she wouldn’t pay attention to her anymore, yet now could still be provoked by her gaze, she must be feeling dissatisfied inside.

This was exactly what she wanted to achieve.

Even if she, Su Yingying, left you, Tang Xiaorou, she would still be the most eye-catching existence.

Indeed eye-catching, only those blinded by you would revolve around you. If Tang Xiaorou knew what she was thinking, she would definitely mock her like this.

“Nothing much, just came to take a look,” Tang Xiaorou chuckled, appearing calm and composed. But Yu Chuyao beside her was very nervous, she didn’t have Tang Xiaorou’s strong confidence, she could only pretend to be calm and act as if nothing was wrong while standing beside her.

In Su Yingying’s impression, Tang Xiaorou seemed uninterested in sports like basketball. During previous holidays, she only pulled her to play some very simple sports.

“Heh, seeing as you don’t understand these things, you’re just here to stir up trouble.”

“As if you know how to play basketball,” Tang Xiaorou mercilessly retorted.

“You!” Su Yingying was left speechless again by the retort, but she quickly snorted: “It doesn’t matter whether I can play or not, at least I was brought here to watch by someone.”

As for who that someone was, everyone knew without saying.

It had to be said that Xie Jin’s quality in this current high school storyline was quite high. At least he was good at studies and handsome, and watching him play basketball showed he had good athletic ability too, probably no male student at First High could match him.

But Tang Xiaorou, who knew how competitive Su Yingying’s dating pool would become later, didn’t think much of him. Often in many games, the early small bosses couldn’t even compare to roadside monsters by the late game.

“He’s average,” so she could make such an evaluation.

Hearing her say this, Su Yingying immediately became annoyed. In her view, Tang Xiaorou was just being stubborn, clearly knowing nothing yet pretending to be profound.

“Oh? So you’re saying you’re better than the boys on the court?” Su Yingying wanted to draw everyone’s hatred towards Tang Xiaorou: “Want to find someone to compete with you?”

As long as Tang Xiaorou agreed, she was sure Xie Jin would stand up for her.

Yu Chuyao was also startled when she heard this, wondering if things would go wrong this time? Tang Xiaorou didn’t look like someone who would play basketball at all? It felt like even if she and Tang Xiaorou combined, they wouldn’t match up to anyone on the court?

However, Tang Xiaorou looked at Su Yingying with eyes as if looking at an idiot, and asked back: “Is something wrong with your brain? Having girls compete with boys in basketball?”

Tang Xiaorou’s “bad idea” certainly wasn’t to go play basketball herself. Don’t think too much, she really couldn’t play. In college, when forced to choose sports classes, she had to take it for a semester, and the knowledge taught was at most just dribbling the ball, running a few steps while dribbling and throwing it, getting it in the basket was a perfect score.

How could you expect that level to compete with others?

“Then what do you mean?” Su Yingying’s previously imposing manner suddenly decreased by three points, the conversation had gone beyond her expectations, and the situation going out of control made her confidence weaken: “Why else did you come here?”

“Weren’t you the one staring at us just now, so we just casually came over to look?” Tang Xiaorou shrugged helplessly: “Why do you have to monitor everywhere we go?”

Pff! Su Yingying felt like she wanted to spit blood. Had she really fallen for Tang Xiaorou’s trick so easily?

“But if you want to compare something, that’s fine too.” Actually, this was Tang Xiaorou’s goal, but she didn’t want to be the one to suggest it, otherwise the effect of annoying Su Yingying wouldn’t be as good: “Let’s choose something that doesn’t favor either boys or girls.”

She raised her hand and pointed at Xie Jin on the court, her meaning very clear. Let Su Yingying bring Xie Jin and go out with them.

Su Yingying snorted, she believed that no matter what ball game was chosen, Xie Jin’s performance wouldn’t be worse than Tang Xiaorou!

So during the break a few minutes later, she approached Xie Jin who was wiping his sweat and drinking water.

“You want me to compete with Tang Xiaorou in ball games?” When Xie Jin heard this, his mind was still confused. Of course he knew Tang Xiaorou, the two of them were actually considered to be at the peak of male and female student conditions in school.

But he had always been slightly overshadowed by Tang Xiaorou, whether in family background or school grades.

Because of this, when Su Yingying approached him, he quickly expressed his interest. In his view, the goddess that Tang Xiaorou hadn’t managed to catch in more than two years had come to show him goodwill, that feeling of finally surpassing Tang Xiaorou was extremely satisfying.

If you say give him another chance to compete with Tang Xiaorou in ball games.

He couldn’t ask for anything better.

“But not basketball, she’s not that stupid,” Su Yingying reminded.

“It’s fine, I won’t lose to her in any ball game.”

Just like that, the two said goodbye to their friends on the basketball court and prepared to go out with Tang Xiaorou and Yu Chuyao. Originally this basketball game was arranged by Xie Jin with friends to show off in front of Su Yingying, so when the two left, the girls who came to watch him also left, and some of the boys who came to see Su Yingying, along with other friends, seeing their big brother leave, also dispersed.

“What do you want to compete in?” Before reaching the place, Su Yingying still wanted Tang Xiaorou to reveal something.

“You’ll know when we get there.” Tang Xiaorou walking in front didn’t even turn her head, just pulled Yu Chuyao along, the latter following in confusion, also curious if Tang Xiaorou had some trump card?

Until the four stopped at a small corner in the shops opposite the school.

【Pool Hall】

Without any prefix description, these three simple and plain characters were enough to introduce what was inside.

When Tang Xiaorou was about to go in with Yu Chuyao, Su Yingying and Xie Jin were still standing at the entrance, staring at those three characters in a daze.

Since when did Tang Xiaorou know how to play this? Su Yingying couldn’t remember her ever bringing her to play pool before.

Tang Xiaorou was confident inside though, even Yu Chuyao could feel it, because the former’s walking speed was so fast that she almost had to jog to keep up while being pulled along.

If you can’t win at big ball, then let’s try small ball.
