Chapter 178 Brother Hasn't Played Basketball for Many Years_2
"A month, huh? Uh..." Lin Tao looked at Lin Tian with a somewhat dazed expression.
Patting Lin Tao on the shoulder, Lin Tian glanced at Guo Rong and Feng Jiabao, who had just walked out, and waved to call them over, "Let's go."
With that, Lin Tian led the way outside.
After a moment of being stunned, Guo Rong and Feng Jiabao quickly caught up with Lin Tian. As soon as they did, Guo Rong turned back and looked at Lin Tao, who was still standing there in a daze, and asked, "What about him?"
"What about him? Are you going to interfere with his girl-chasing or something?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes.
"Right, Lin Tian, did you really do this?"
"Do what?"
"Making Lin Tao so awesome?"
"Buddha says, not to be said!" Lin Tian chuckled mischievously.
"Then... Can you also make me a Martial World master? I don't ask for much, just wall-walking will do!" Guo Rong giggled, moving closer.
Glancing at Guo Rong's figure covered in fat, Lin Tian sneered, "When you lose all that fat, we'll talk. Wall-walking, huh! Pssh!"
"Hey, don't be so discouraging, okay!" Guo Rong protested with an unsatisfied face.
Lin Tian didn't respond and continued walking briskly ahead.
...
The next three days passed relatively peacefully.
During these days, Lin Tian didn't receive any missions, spending his time either in class or occasionally hanging out with Bu Mengting. However, Lin Tao was rarely seen, as he often left early and returned late.
Seeing the sweet smile on his face, Lin Tian guessed that things must be going well for him.
But whenever Lin Tian asked him about his progress, Lin Tao stubbornly refused to reveal anything.
After asking a few times and growing tired of it, Lin Tian also stopped asking.
That afternoon, after class, Lin Tian took out his cell phone with a copy of "Basics of Chinese Medicine" in hand.
Flipping through the phone book, Lin Tian dialed Bu Mengting's number.
"Hey, Mengting? What are you up to? I just got out of class!"
Already? That was fast," came Bu Mengting's somewhat surprised voice over the phone, along with some noisy background noise.
"Only had two classes today." Hearing the noisy background in the call, Lin Tian asked, "Where are you? It's so loud?"
"Oh, I'm watching a basketball game. It's between our department and the computer science department."
"A basketball game? What's so interesting about that." Lin Tian rolled his eyes.
"It's not bad, you know. It would be even better if you came," Bu Mengting's sweet laughter came from the phone.
"Forget it, it's boring. I haven't played basketball for a long time, there's no challenge in it. Anyway, which court are you at? I'll come find you."
"Let me check, oh, court number twenty."
"Okay, I'll head over now." Holding the Chinese Medicine book, Lin Tian shook his head and walked towards the basketball courts.
With only Lin Tian by himself now, Lin Tao had gone off to pursue a girl, while Guo Rong and the others were still in the classroom, reading.
Arriving at court number twenty after about fifteen minutes, Lin Tian.
Scanning the inside of the court, Lin Tian saw that a game was in progress, though it seemed to be almost over.
Meanwhile, a crowd had gathered around the court, and cheering could be heard now and then.
Lin Tian's gaze swept through the onlookers, and before long, he spotted Bu Mengting not too far away.
At that moment, Bu Mengting was intently watching the game, looking very absorbed, her face occasionally showing signs of tension.
After glancing at her, Lin Tian didn't rush over but stood by and watched the game for a while.
Lin Tian noticed that there was one player on each team whose skills weren't bad. Whether it was jumping, shooting, or dribbling, everything was impressive.
What also caught Lin Tian's attention was that this guy was quite handsome.
Every time this guy got the ball, the surrounding girls would let out exited screams.
"Wang Bin! Oh!"
"I love you!"
In the crowd, even some bold girls started shouting towards Wang Bin.
In his hands, Wang Bin held the basketball, and whenever he heard the calls from the girls around him, a charming smile appeared on his face; yet he kept glancing over at Bu Mengting.
Bu Mengting was nervously watching the game inside, clearly enjoying the basketball match!
Seeing this, Wang Bin smiled slightly, knowing his chance to shine had come!
Wang Bin quickly dribbled the ball, swayed left and right, and made a lightning-fast breakthrough, charging past the last defender. Wang Bin suddenly leapt into the air!
With one hand gripping the basketball, he fiercely slammed it down!
Bang!
A violent dunk!
"Oh! So cool!" The air filled with the screams of girls nearby.
"Ah!" Bu Mengting let out a disappointed sigh upon witnessing this scene.
Because Wang Bin was a player from the opposing team.
Glancing up at Wang Bin, Bu Mengting thought to herself, this guy is really impressive.
After the dunk, Wang Bin kept his gaze fixed on Bu Mengting, watching her expression. At this moment, Bu Mengting looked up and their eyes met instantly.
Wang Bin flashed Bu Mengting a charming smile. Then he turned and walked away.
Seeing this, a female classmate beside Bu Mengting patted her arm and laughed, "The basketball prince seems to be into you!"
"No way!" Bu Mengting rolled her eyes at her.
"Definitely, didn't you see he doesn't even care about the others? I've been watching; he's already stolen glances at you plenty of times!" the girl giggled.
"You must be mistaken!" Bu Mengting was somewhat speechless. She didn't take the words to heart.
On the other side, Lin Tian frowned slightly. He had also noticed that Wang Bin seemed to be interested in Bu Mengting.
After casting a glance at Wang Bin, Lin Tian felt a bit annoyed.
Damn it!
Daring to fancy my woman, as if he didn't know his own worth.
After watching for a few more minutes, Lin Tian realized that this kid really had his sights set on Bu Mengting. Just within thirty minutes, his gaze had wandered towards Bu Mengting no less than seven or eight times.
And every time, it was in front of Bu Mengting that he intentionally showed off his ball skills.
What made Lin Tian even more speechless was that the opposing players were too unskilled, allowing every one of his flashy moves to succeed.
A minute later, the referee blew the whistle indicating the end of the game.
Casting a glance at Wang Bin, Lin Tian walked towards Bu Mengting.
Just as Lin Tian was walking towards Bu Mengting, Wang Bin also, holding a basketball, made his way towards her.
Arriving in front of Bu Mengting, Wang Bin gave her a slight smile, "Beauty, do you like basketball?"
"It's okay, I guess!" Bu Mengting looked up at Wang Bin, somewhat taken aback, not expecting him to come talk to her.
"Want me to teach you?" Wang Bin spun the red basketball in his hands with a sunny smile.
"No, thank you!" Despite wondering why he approached her, Bu Mengting still politely shook her head.
"No problem, I am really good, and you can even watch me dunk!" Wang Bin said with a confident smile.
"Dunk..." Bu Mengting was somewhat speechless.
After giving him a look, Bu Mengting shook her head wordlessly, "In terms of dunking, my boyfriend is much better than you, and way more handsome."
"Impossible! I haven't heard of anyone at Martial University who can dunk better than me. Besides, you must be a freshman, where could you have a boyfriend!" Wang Bin looked incredulous.
"Believe it or not, you'll see when he comes!" Bu Mengting wasn't pleased with his unexplained arrogance.
"Alright, when he comes, I really want to see for myself. But if he doesn't show up, can I take the beauty out for a meal?" Wang Bin smiled slightly.
From his confident smile, he clearly didn't believe that anyone at Martial University could dunk better than him, nor did he believe that Bu Mengting had a boyfriend.
He thought Bu Mengting was just bluffing him!
"..." Bu Mengting was at a loss for words. At that moment, she finally realized, it turns out this guy wanted to pursue her.
Thinking this, Bu Mengting became even more speechless and at the same time, she couldn't help wishing for Lin Tian to come over and give him a harsh lesson.
That would put an end to his arrogance!
And just as Bu Mengting had this thought, Lin Tian, who had been standing behind her for a while, was taken aback.
A synthesized electronic voice echoed in Lin Tian's mind: "Mission: Fulfill Bu Mengting's wish by showing off cool basketball moves to teach Wang Bin a lesson. Reward upon mission completion, one Supernatural Point."
While Lin Tian was stunned, Wang Bin's voice reached his ears again, "How tall is your boyfriend?"
"Him? Around 1.75 meters, I guess."
"1.75 meters and he wants to dunk? Don't joke around, you're definitely fooling me!" Hearing Bu Mengting's answer, Wang Bin was even more convinced that she was lying.
1.75 meters and able to dunk? It's a question whether he could even reach the basket at that height.
Having heard enough, Lin Tian stepped forward quickly, gave Wang Bin a look, and said expressionlessly, "I am her boyfriend."
