Watching the match while sitting at the courtside and watching the match outside the court were completely different experiences. Mo Lingqiu could feel the wind whipped up by Jiang Chenming as he ran past, dribbling.

Jiang Chenming had good basketball skills, and his reaction was quick. No matter what situation he encountered, he would deal with it calmly.

The Law Department basketball team coach had probably met with the players a long time ago and discussed on Jiang Chenming, instructing them to focus on him, with three people arranged to block him.

However, freeing up three people to block Jiang Chenming also meant that there would be unguarded positions in the court. Jiang Chenming was able to seize the opportunity almost every time to pass the ball to his teammates, who lived up to his expectations. They were able to score with two balls out of three; their accuracy was high and they gradually widened the gap.

It seemed to become an unwritten rule that if the PE Department had Jiang Chenming on their team, they would definitely win. Gradually, the Law Department team grew fatigued, their physical strength was slowly chipped away, and their hope of winning became smaller and smaller.

Mo Lingqiu stared at Jiang Chenming and couldn’t turn his gaze anywhere else.

This person… surprised him. Even though his opponent was showing signs of a clear defeat, Jiang Chenming still used two hundred percent of his effort to play the match.

“Jiang Chenming is impressive, right?” The PE Department team coach suddenly sat next to Mo Lingqiu.

“Ah… En,” Mo Lingqiu answered honestly.

“As far as I know, he was a professional player for a year or two when he was in high school.”

“High school?” Mo Lingqiu was surprised and turned his head.

“Yes, he was very talented and had an advantage in his gender.” The coach was proud of him. “When he was still in high school, he was discovered and went to play professionally for two years. But then he didn’t continue, I guess it’s because of his parents who don’t support him.”

“Do you know what his… his parents do for a living?” Mo Lingqiu asked.

“I only know it’s related to business, but I don’t know the details,” The coach answered honestly. “Anyway, they’re quite formidable. Although he doesn’t tell others about it, everyone can see it.”

“En.” Mo Lingqiu put away his curiosity when he heard that the coach didn’t know either.

“Originally, he would have entered university later than others if he had gone to play professionally for two years, but he applied early, and even entered University A with a high score––the highest score in the entire PE Department that year.” Recalling the glory of Jiang Chenming when he first entered University A, the coach said, “His general subject scores were higher than those from many other department’s top students. The teacher who taught him at the time was so proud that he showed off whenever he saw anyone.”

“Is that so?” The image of popular and favoured Jiang Chenming appeared in Mo Lingqiu’s mind.

“Yeah, it’s pretty funny now that I think about it. Haha,” the coach laughed. “After that, he switched to a professional course, but he still trained as hard as ever. He could obviously have used his talent to outweigh the time of others’ efforts, but he never missed a training session.”

“En.” Mo Lingqiu carefully thought back. Indeed, ever since he started living with Jiang Chenming, no matter how early in the morning training was, or how late at night it dragged on, he didn’t miss training once.
