Zhang Yiyi first encountered basketball at the age of two, not long after she learned to walk. Back then, her parents were not yet divorced, and she had an enviable family; her mother was a businesswoman and her father a retired player from the national basketball team.

Her father, once an outstanding basketball player, had to step back due to a spinal injury during a match, becoming a basketball coach at Tianjin Sports School. Growing up, Zhang Yiyi’s favorite pastime was to follow her father around, mimicking how he dribbled the ball. This happy life continued until the first grade of elementary school, when due to her father’s deep dedication to basketball training, her mother divorced him and left for the United States with him and his daughter.

After the divorce, her father shifted all his focus onto her, and she hadn’t worn a skirt since the age of six for the sake of playing basketball. Zhang Yiyi was also taunted for being too tall and sturdy, and for her parents’ divorce, causing her to hide under the covers and cry.

It was only on the basketball court that she felt normal, safe.

But today, her dreams were shattered, everything was about to be ruined.

"Yiyi."

Zhang Yiyi heard a calling voice, much like her mother’s when she was a child, but unfortunately, she couldn’t turn back, her head was only a few centimeters from the ground.

Her head did not hit the ground; a soft touch came from the other side of her head.

"Pause the game," Ni Shahe called a halt to the game, and the substitute players sitting in the stands all gathered around. Zeng Xuerou was also inquiring nearby.

The basketball fell to the ground, Xiao Xian protected Zhang Yiyi’s head with her hands, and the tremendous impact made them roll several times on the ground. Thankfully, neither of them hit their heads directly, but their bodies hitting the ground made a deafening noise that truly frightened the audience and coaches.

"How is she? Do you need to go to the hospital? Wang Ke, what were you thinking?" The situation on the court made Ni Shahe, who was used to seeing all sorts of sports injuries, turn pale. Wang Ke didn’t understand either; the ball was supposed to go directly into the basket, but instead, he passed it to the unprepared Zhang Yiyi.

"Coach, don’t you always say during training that we should take care of new team members? I saw that since Zhang Yiyi came on the court, she hasn’t scored a single point. It’s quite pitiful. I wanted to give her a chance to show off. Little did I know she couldn’t even catch the ball," Wang Ke said scornfully, believing the coach couldn’t do anything to her since it was a legitimate pass; if someone got hit, it was due to their own lack of skill.

But Xiao Xian’s action just now really surprised Wang Ke; this annoying kid really made one uneasy, with such a huge impact and just her height of 1.5 meters, she managed to save someone.

Zeng Xuerou was right next to Xiao Xian when the ball was passed; she had already dashed forward. It wasn’t exactly a rush, as Zeng Xuerou only saw a blur in front of her eyes and Xiao Xian had already disappeared, seemingly reaching several meters away in an instant, akin to a car’s teleportation.

"You, sigh." Ni Shahe was at a loss for words. The game had to continue, but seeing the pale face of Zhang Yiyi and the angry eyes of Xiao Xian, "Go to the hospital for a checkup first."

"Coach Ni, I have a car. My mom has a car; I’ll call the driver over, and they can take them," Zeng Xuerou had already done a simple explanation. Sacred Heart Middle School was leading by a large margin, no need to wait for the game’s result, just going back and doing good post-editing would suffice.

"Alright, let your family send them to the hospital first, and notify me immediately once the check-up results are out," Ni Shahe still had to attend a meeting after the friendly match and couldn’t leave immediately.

"Can you walk?" Xiao Xian rubbed her arm and helped Zhang Yiyi up; her timely intervention meant Zhang Yiyi only suffered some bruises on her bones, although with her support, Zhang Yiyi’s head did indirectly hit the ground, necessitating a hospital check.

This time Xiao Xian really went all out, using the Cloud Ascension Technique with a speed she herself found unbelievable. She really wanted to beat up Wang Ke now for being so despicable and shameless. Unfortunately, she wasn’t in Ge Village and the other party wasn’t one of the village’s wild kids. Xiao Xian knew that sometimes, one needed to endure.

Wang Ke, just you wait.

Zhang Yiyi, supported by the two, limped out of the gymnasium. As they left the gymnasium, the foreigner sitting in the stands watching the "A" material effect also followed them out. freēwēbnovel.com
