171: Chapter 171: Freshman Canteen 171: Chapter 171: Freshman Canteen Lin Fei sat down on the bench in the pavilion and said to Xu Wei and the others, “The jokes are over, now let’s talk about the game.”
Xu Wei and the others also put away their smiles and sat down on the bench.
Xu Wei said, “Lin Fei, I’ve already found out that the Crown Team, ranked number one, didn’t participate in this basketball tournament.
Our main opponent is the Wind and Cloud Team, ranked second.”
Crown Team?
A team directly named Crown Team; this shows how confident they are.
Lin Fei couldn’t help but ask Xu Wei, “Why isn’t the Crown Team participating in this school celebration tournament?”
Xu Wei said, “The Crown Team is a noble team at Huadu University.
The players on this team are either rich or noble, led by the top one of the ten gentlemen, Qin Yunyue.
The Qin family is one of the ten great families in Huadu.
The other players on the Crown Team are also mostly offspring of millionaires and high-ranking officials.”
The Crown Team looks down on the 100,000 prize for this tournament; their target is the Huadu City basketball tournament, a provincial sports event with a 5 million prize.”
Lin Fei nodded, realizing the reason.
“Since the Crown Team isn’t participating this time, we don’t need to worry about them.
Tell me about our biggest opponent, the Wind and Cloud Team.
How strong are they?” Lin Fei continued to ask.
Xu Wei said, “The Wind and Cloud Team is ranked second in strength among the school’s basketball teams.
The captain is named Peng Xiaotian.
He is also one of the young masters of the ten great families.
The Wind and Cloud Team is very strong.
Other than the Crown Team, it’s the strongest among the top ten teams, and our biggest opponent in this tournament.”
“No matter how strong the opponent is, we must believe in ourselves.
Only by uniting together and cooperating can we defeat even the strongest opponents.” Lin Fei encouraged the Flying Team players.
Xu Wei and the others nodded confidently.
“It’s about lunchtime.
Let’s head to the cafeteria to eat.” Lin Fei checked his phone; it was nearing 11 o’clock, so he said to Xu Wei and the others.
Xu Wei and the others nodded.
They walked out of the pavilion and headed to the cafeteria.
Xu Wei spoke to Lin Fei as they walked, “Lin Fei, there’s one more thing I need to tell you.”
Lin Fei asked him, “Xu Wei, what is it?
Just say it.”
Xu Wei said, “In the swimming competition this afternoon, there’s a girl participating.”
“A girl?” Lin Fei stopped in his tracks and asked Xu Wei, “Isn’t it supposed to be a men’s swimming competition?”
Xu Wei smiled, somewhat embarrassed, “The men’s competition is correct, but this girl is different because she’s Qin Zimo.”
“Who is Qin Zimo?” Lin Fei asked.
Xu Wei and several Flying Team players all looked at Lin Fei with a strange expression, as if they were looking at an alien.
Xu Wei, surprised, looked at Lin Fei and said, “Lin Fei, did I hear you right?
You don’t even know Qin Zimo, one of the four great school beauties, known as the Swimming Queen?”
Lin Fei finally understood Qin Zimo, as one of the four great school beauties.
So, she’s on the same level as Yuan Yuxi and Wang Yixin.
“Since she’s called the Swimming Queen, she must be quite good at swimming,” Lin Fei said, looking at Xu Wei.
Xu Wei immediately put on an expression of worship and said, “Exactly, Qin Zimo is the best swimmer in our school, bar none.
That’s why the school made an exception to let her compete in the same pool with the boys.”
Also, Qin Zimo made this one promise: any Huadu University male student, if you beat her in the pool, could become her boyfriend.”
Lin Fei couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Xu Wei, are you telling me that among so many boys in Huadu University, no one has managed to beat her in swimming?”
Xu Wei nodded, “Lin Fei, you guessed right.
Although Qin Zimo is as beautiful as a flower and one of Huadu University’s four great school beauties, up to now, no boy has been able to beat her in the pool.”
Speaking this, Xu Wei’s gaze fell on Lin Fei, saying, “However, I believe what all the boys in Huadu University couldn’t achieve will be realized by you.
Lin Fei, got the confidence to win the beauty?
Qin Zimo is definitely a great beauty!”
Lin Fei’s mouth twitched, looking at Xu Wei and said, “Brother Wei, are you really keen on getting Qin Zimo?
Should I inform your girlfriend Li Xiaomeng?”
Xu Wei changed colors immediately and quickly said, “Boss, please don’t!
I barely have a class flower as a girlfriend.
The school beauty Qin Zimo is beyond what I can handle.”
“It’s best to be honest, or else I won’t hesitate to tell Li Xiaomeng about your wandering eyes,” Lin Fei saw Xu Wei finally being honest and chuckled inwardly.
It seemed Li Xiaomeng was Xu Wei’s Achilles’ heel.
“Boss, I won’t mention you and Qin Zimo anymore.
Let’s get to the cafeteria and eat!” Xu Wei swiftly changed the topic.
Soon, Lin Fei and the others arrived at the cafeteria.
Huadu University has several cafeterias, and the one Lin Fei and the others went to was the freshman cafeteria.
There were already many people inside, sitting in twos and threes, chatting, playing on their phones, eating, everyone focused on their own thing.
Xu Wei found a table close to the door where no one was sitting, and they sat down together.
Several Flying Team members went to queue for food, while Lin Fei and Xu Wei waited at the seats.
Soon, several Flying Team members brought plates of food and placed them on the table in front of Lin Fei and Xu Wei.
Everyone began to eat.
After a tennis match, Lin Fei had consumed quite a bit of energy, so his appetite was hearty.
“Lin Fei!” Just at that moment, a voice rang out.
Lin Fei looked up and saw several people coming in from the cafeteria door, led by Zheng Feng, who had been the referee in the match between the Flying Team and the Hot Blood Team, and also a key player for the Fierce Tiger Team.
“Zheng Feng.” Lin Fei nodded politely toward Zheng Feng.
Zheng Feng immediately spoke to a few boys beside him, “This is the Lin Fei I’ve been telling you about, who defeated Guo Jianping’s Hot Blood Team.”
These few boys were evidently players of the Fierce Tiger Team, and they all nodded to Lin Fei in greeting.
“Lin Fei, I won’t disturb your meal.
Let’s spar well on the court this afternoon.” Zheng Feng said with a smile.
Lin Fei nodded, “Sure, I’d love to spar with you.”
Zheng Feng and the others quickly found a table to sit down in the cafeteria.
And at that moment, a few tables away from Lin Fei, a group of seven or eight boys sat there.
A boy with sharp features and a monkey-like face spoke to a tall, burly boy with a somewhat cold face, piercing eyes, “Boss, see that?
He’s the one who defeated Guo Jianping of the Hot Blood Team, Lin Fei of the Flying Team.”
“I heard they’re participating in the school celebration basketball tournament this time too.” Another boy with a face full of pimples said disdainfully to the cold-faced boy.
“Since Zheng Feng greeted him, why don’t we go and introduce ourselves to them too?” The cold-faced boy suddenly stood up from the table and said.
