Chapter 69: Backup Wife

a bomb in the car""I heard it," Xia Tian replied.This time, Su Xiaocan was also curious and asked from the side, "Can you hear if there's a bomb in the car""That depends on what kind of bomb it is. A...Chapter 69: Backup Wife

"Shu Jing, don't go along with this nonsense," Jiang Feng couldn't help but advise. The relationship between him and Shu Jing was somewhat unique; many people thought they were a couple, but that wasn't the case.

"She has good potential, too bad she's a bit older." Xia Tian muttered to himself as he observed Shu Jing carefully and found out that she actually had decent martial arts talent, at least several times better than Zhao Qingqing who dreamed of being a female hero every day.

"We have to do something about this," Shu Jing felt somewhat helpless. "We're friends with Chen Zhigang; we can't just turn a blind eye."

"But you don't need to throw yourself at him," Jiang Feng said in a low voice.

"It's not that serious, Xia Tian already has a girlfriend, he was just talking about it." Shu Jing didn't think much of it and walked over to Xia Tian. "Xia Tian, can you now compete with Chen Zhigang"

Xia Tian still hesitated: "But you're not as pretty as Sister Xing."

Shu Jing immediately felt like hitting him; this kid was actually complaining about her looks!

"Forget it, I'll settle for you," Xia Tian said another sentence that made Shu Jing want to spit blood. She was still the flower of the sports college and had many admirers. This guy wanted her勉強接受？還說什麼湊合？

“Well then, Chen Zhigang, how do you plan to compete with Xia Tian” Shu Jing clenched her fist secretly as she vented her frustration inwardly while pretending nothing was wrong on the surface. At least this time, regardless of whether Chen Zhigang won or lost, he would give up, right

"It's simple, a one-on-one match, whoever scores three points first wins," Chen Zhigang had already thought it through and spoke without hesitation.

“What is a one-on-one match” Xia Tian was confused. In his mind, one-on-one meant fighting, but this clearly referred to playing ball, which didn't quite fit what he imagined.

Shu Jing had to explain it again to this football ignoramus.

By the time Summer figured out what a one-on-one duel was, he shook his head and said, "That's too simple. If I win, he won't accept it."

"Then how do you want to compete" Shu Jing asked.

"I heard basketball is played with five players per team. So, pick five of your members and I'll go alone. The first one to score three points wins. How about that" Summer said offhandedly.

The players on the Physical Education Department's basketball team all turned their eyes toward Summer, filled with malice and arrogance. This guy was too arrogant; he actually wanted to take on five people alone! Even NBA professional players wouldn't do this!

"Summer, don't be so arrogant!" Chen Zhi Gang said angrily.

"I just want you to lose thoroughly," Summer said calmly and unhurriedly. "If you're afraid of the competition, then admit defeat."

“Summer, are you really going to compete with us like this” Jiang Feng frowned.

“Yes, Summer. You should think about it; this way you will definitely lose,” Shu Jing also advised on their side, and from the looks of it, she was quite worried that she wouldn’t be able to become Summer’s wife.

Sun Xin Xin was a bit anxious as well—this dead little pervert, what was he thinking Even though she didn't understand basketball, she knew it was a team sport. No matter how powerful one person was, they couldn't fight against five people!

"Alright, I do think this is too unfair to you guys. If you lose later, you’ll probably lose confidence in playing basketball," Summer thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let me find an assistant—Shu Jing, come help me! We will play against your five players."

"Eh" Shu Jing pointed at her nose. “Me I can play, but I’m a girl; how could I be their opponent”

“Hey, Chen Zhi Gang, are you ready now If we’re going to compete, then hurry up! Otherwise, I’ll leave!” Summer just wanted to quickly settle this matter without dragging it out.

"Alright, since you want to compete like this, then so be it!" Chen Zhi Gang was extremely angry. This guy actually brought Shu Jing to play against them, which made him feel more humiliated; he wished that Summer would get beaten up on the basketball court.

"That’s right, let’s give this kid a thorough lesson!

"Count me in, I want to make sure this kid doesn't even touch the ball!"

"I'm in too, watch me get three straight blocks!"

Apart from Chen Zhi Gang, the other four had quickly made their way onto the court. Jiang Feng stood by as referee while Xia Tian and Shu Jing were already on the field.

“You guys start with a tip-off!” Chen Zhi Gang appeared generous, tossing the ball into Shu Jing’s hands.

"Tip-off!" Jiang Feng made a gesture to signal the start of play. Shu Jing hesitated for a moment before passing it to Xia Tian. However, she was puzzled by why he had positioned himself right under the basket.

The instant Xia Tian caught the ball, Chen Zhi Gang rushed over attempting a steal. He soon realized that Xia Tian passed the ball as soon as he received it.

The two of them headed towards Shu Jing, waiting for her to receive the ball so they could prevent her from passing it out.

“Ah…” A sudden cry rose up from the sidelines. Chen Zhi Gang, who was running on the court, immediately sensed something amiss and turned around instinctively just in time to see the basketball flying towards his team’s basket.

The shot… this guy actually took a shot!

"No way it goes in!" Chen Zhi Gang clenched his teeth inwardly. He didn’t believe anyone could make such a long-range shot!

“Swoosh!”

Hearing the sound, Chen Zhi Gang felt like a nightmare had come true again. That damn guy actually made an open basket from this distance!

"Yeah!" Shu Jing was extremely excited; after all, she was one of the players and being on the scoring end couldn't make her unhappy.

A strange expression appeared on Jiang Feng's face as he started to understand Xia Tian’s plan.

"It's okay, if he can make it in, we can too!" Chen Zhigang waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Chen Zhigang dribbled the ball forward with ease, crossing half court in a blink of an eye and heading towards the restricted area.

"Summer, defend quickly!" Shu Jing was anxious; this guy still stood under the hoop without moving. She wanted to step up for defense but was blocked by two men who wouldn't let her pass.

Someone shouted, "Go Chen Zhigang!" and Chen Zhigang leaped from midcourt, shooting at the basket.

The basketball flew towards the hoop. As the team's best shooter, Chen Zhigang was confident that this shot would go in. Watching the basketball move through the air, Chen Zhigang couldn't help but show a smug expression on his face.

But at this moment, unexpectedly, a hand appeared out of nowhere and intercepted the ball.

Chen Zhigang's complexion paled instantly because he saw that the ball was now in Summer's possession.

"Defend! Defend quickly! Be wary of his long shots!" Chen Zhigang shouted loudly.

Summer chuckled and threw the ball out.

"Swoosh!" It went through the hoop with a swish again.

"Two already!" Shu Jing excitedly exclaimed, "If he gets one more in, we win!"

Inadvertently, Shu Jing had put herself on the side of those betting and forgotten that she was actually part of the wagered items.

“Man, can't you switch it up a bit" Someone complained loudly. "While it's true that having one skill is enough to get by anywhere, still, you shouldn’t always be doing long shots!”

"My wife says if I play basketball, all the other players will lose their jobs because I'll turn basketball into the most boring sport on earth," Summer chuckled. "All I need to do is stay under the hoop and use this utterly boring method to defeat every team."

Su Jing strongly agreed with this view, and the others also felt that it was indeed true. If this kid continued to play basketball like this, its appeal would be lost, and without spectators, wouldn't all the basketball players become unemployed

"It's not over yet!" Chen Zhigang angrily said, "If you want to brag, wait until after I beat you!"

"Then start your attack quickly, I'm waiting," Xia Tian said nonchalantly.

Chen Zhigang held the ball again and advanced into an empty zone where nobody dared defend against him. He flew towards the basket but this time didn't shoot, instead attempting a slam dunk.

Unfortunately, halfway through his jump, he was pressed down along with the ball by someone else, resulting in Xia Tian regaining possession of it once more.

Holding onto the basketball, Xia Tian smiled brilliantly and said, "This time I'll show you a different trick to avoid being seen as bullying."

Xia Tian jumped up and flew towards the hoop. Everyone was dumbfounded; did he really think of himself as Superman Even Superman didn't have such power—over twenty meters from here to there, could one really fly over like that

"Boom!" The basketball heavily slammed into the basket, causing a momentary silence around them. This guy actually flew over.

Then came applause and excited shouts:

"Awesome..."

"That's what being called a flying man is all about!"

"Damn it, who caught that on camera"

...

The atmosphere at the scene became incredibly heated; everyone was stunned by Xia Tian's feat. For a moment, even Chen Zhigang was forgotten as people rushed towards Xia Tian.

"Brother, is this something like lightness kung fu"

"Big brother, can you teach me this move"

"Hey, bro, how about joining our basketball team"

...

Summer ignored these guys and just grinned at Shu Jing: "You're my backup wife now!"

Shu Jing's face turned red. Did this guy really want to make her his wife

But she couldn't help but ask, "What does being a backup wife mean"

"You lost the bet. You should have been my wife originally, but I need to test you for a while, so now you're just a backup wife," Summer said offhandedly.

The crowd looked at Summer with admiration in their eyes. In this day and age, it was usually women who tested men; with the superhero big brother here, things were reversed—he actually wanted to test Shu Jing, such an attractive lady.

Shu Jing felt depressed as well. She had always been very confident about her charm, but now she began to doubt herself intensely.

"Hey, how are you going to test me" Shu Jing asked somewhat resentfully.

"Oh, it's quite simple," Summer grinned. "I'll check on you in a while and see if you can become even prettier then. If so, I'll make you my official wife."

"You! I don't want to be your wife!" Shu Jing was truly angered by this guy who still found her not pretty enough!

After saying that, she pushed through the crowd and stomped off angrily.with the foreigner.""Two isn't enough, take all three back. Although one of them is a bit inferior, she's still much more beautiful than the ladies in our county town." ...This group ignored Sun Tiany...
