Chapter 879: Recently My Body Feels Strange

The sickening feeling surged, and seeing the restroom just a short distance away, Baili Xia didn’t even think twice before she dashed towards it.

She thought she would vomit violently, but unexpectedly, she just dry-heaved a few times, and the feeling of nausea mysteriously subsided.

Baili Xia patted her chest and stood in front of the washbasin for a while.

Only when she felt nothing was amiss did she wash her hands and step out of the restroom.

Her body had been really strange lately, too easily fatigued.

Arriving in front of the classroom, she steadied her spirit before stepping inside.

The atmosphere inside the classroom was one of dismal gloom, all because of today’s basketball game.

Ever since the incident where Mr.

Xiaojiu and Mr.

Jin “withdrew” from the game, which was deliberately exaggerated and spread everywhere, the class’s efforts to find substitute players had been fraught with difficulty.

There were rumors that Mr.

Xiaojiu and Mr.

Jin had fallen out, and even claims that anyone who joined their basketball team would have to contend with them.

With such rumors, even if the likelihood of them being false was higher, who would dare take the risk to join?

They had barely managed to assemble five players, and now, they truly had only five, not even half a substitute.

“Class President, you’re back!” Upon seeing Baili Xia, Tan Xiao immediately stood up and walked over to greet her.

Everyone’s gaze followed, focusing entirely on Baili Xia.

The last time, when their classmates were bullied by Ouyang Peishan and Sima Liuli and others, it was the class president who had stood up for them.

Now that the basketball team was in trouble, and as the class president and team leader, did Baili Xia have any solution up her sleeve?

But now, even Baili Xia herself was at a loss.

The players they had hired with money from the class fund were just mediocre in terms of key skills.

“Class President…” Chen Ming also felt particularly guilty.

As the sports representative, he couldn’t even manage to assemble a “healthy” basketball team.

The students in the school obviously had it in for them, and when it came to finding substitutes, it was nearly impossible, a complete block on any way out.

“It’s okay, maybe… there will be a turnaround,” Baili Xia consoled.

As for what that turnaround would be, even she had no idea…

…

At ten o’clock, the official game was set to begin.

It wasn’t even nine yet when the players from both teams arrived at the venue and began their warm-up exercises.

In the vast venue, the spectator stands were sparsely populated with a smattering of viewers.

Such a game, not being of interest to any important figures, therefore, didn’t garner much attention.

Watching the performance of the players on the court, Baili Xia and Tan Xiao exchanged glances but remained silent.

In truth, everyone secretly acknowledged that their class didn’t stand much of a chance.

The opposing team had several particularly strong players, and their average level was streets ahead of their class.

Looking back at their own class, minus Mu Xiaojiu and Dongfang Jin, the best they had was their sole external player, Li Dacheng.

Other classes had basically secured outside help, while theirs was left with just this one substitute, and the other two spots were still vacant.

As Baili Xia and Tan Xiao worried with furrowed brows, a group of girls nearby started chattering animatedly.

“Oh, so these are our opponents in the first match, freshmen from Design Class One?”

“Yeah, excited, right?”

“Haha, not really excited, I’m afraid our team won’t get a chance to warm up.”

“Right, honestly, what I’m most worried about is that they might just forfeit the match later, hahaha…”
