Wang Muman looked at the problem, recalling the solution process. She found Yan Cheng's logic very clear and his explanations concise. She decided she could ask him more often in the future. Proximity was an advantage, and her geography studies would depend on him.
The afternoon extracurricular activity turned into practice time for the cheerleading squad. With Zhang Jiayi directing, they quickly perfected their formations, all aiming to win a prize in the cheerleading competition. "The uniforms have arrived. Girls can come pick them up," Shi Kai announced, carrying bags and letting Zhang Jiayi distribute them. "Everyone try them on back in your dorms after evening study. If anything doesn't fit, come find me tomorrow," Zhang Jiayi said loudly. The cheerleading outfits were quite revealing, and He Lele gasped in admiration.
Back in the dorms, Shen Jiaxin, disliking the skirt, didn't participate. She watched the other three change into their skirts and felt a visual shock, almost getting a nosebleed. "I'm telling you two short ones, all your growth hormones must be concentrated in the middle, very nice," Shen Jiaxin commented, glancing at their midsections and then at herself. "Muman, you're just right, and it makes your legs look long and straight. Unlike me, my calves are too muscular," Shen Jiaxin offered her opinion. "The three of you could form a group!" she declared with a firm nod. He Lele looked down and indeed felt it looked a bit too revealing, feeling shy. She looked at Shen Jiaxin coyly, "Xin Ge, everyone's is yours now, don't look at me like that!" "Ugh, can you stop that? He Lele, it's kind of disgusting," Shen Jiaxin quickly retreated.
"We have to practice in them the day after tomorrow. Don't be shy, we're aiming for the championship!" Zhang Jiayi made a cheering gesture, and the other two nodded. "Let's sleep, lights out soon. Goodnight, my darlings," Zhang Jiayi got into bed.
"Little brother, how's the basketball going? I'm telling you, we've put our reputation and skills on the line. You guys can't fall behind!" He Lele patted Yan Cheng's shoulder. "What reputation and skills? We haven't seen them yet!" Zhou Mingyu happened to be looking for Yan Cheng. "I wasn't asking you. Your basketball skills are average," He Lele said, finding him annoying. "Do you even understand, big sister?" "I've been watching handsome guys for years, do you think I don't understand basketball?" It was a matter of pride, and He Lele was determined to have a showdown with him. The other two sitting at their desks instantly put their hands to their foreheads and exchanged glances. "Wang Muman, listen to what He Lele said, it must be very exciting. We'll be counting on you then," Yan Cheng said to Wang Muman. Wang Muman nodded. Yan Cheng also felt a sense of anticipation.
The basketball game and the sports meet were scheduled for three consecutive days. The school started the basketball tournament on Friday, with classes dismissed in the afternoon. Everyone in the classroom had changed into their clothes and was wearing their school uniforms over them. Wang Muman sat on her stool, her legs feeling a bit cold, and sneezed. "Muman, I specifically brought you a towel. I knew you'd be cold. See how thoughtful I am?" He Lele draped the towel over Wang Muman's legs and winked at her. Although there was sunshine outside, they had to wait in the classroom to do homework and wait for the homeroom teacher's notification. Yan Cheng heard the voices from behind and turned his head. Hearing He Lele's voice, he relaxed. The boys were all excited because they could play basketball. Very few people in the classroom were focused here; only those who genuinely loved studying were diligently doing their homework.
