Chapter 880: Big Brother Sent Me

Not far away, a few girls were chatting back and forth without any restraint, openly mocking.

None of their words weren’t aimed at ridiculing their design class.

After listening for a while, Tan Xiao couldn’t hold back any longer.

She clenched her fists, ready to go up and confront them.

Baili Xia grabbed her hand and shook her head.

“Forget it, what they’re saying is true.

Besides, we can’t control what others say.

But even if we lose miserably, we won’t forfeit.”

“Mm.” Tan Xiao nodded and asked, “Xiaxia, do you think we could find two more external helpers?”

Baili Xia helplessly shook her head, “The competition is about to start, where would we find them now?”

It was almost half-past nine, and the competition staff had already entered the venue to set up.

It seemed that in less than ten minutes, the staff would require their two teams to submit the final list of external helpers.

As Baili Xia and Tan Xiao looked despondently at their teammates warming up on the field, the audience section suddenly became noisy.

“Look, who’s that?”

“It’s Dongfang, oh my God, how did he come?”

Baili Xia and Tan Xiao followed the crowd’s gaze and saw a tall figure entering the venue.

It wasn’t until Dongfang Ji approached Baili Xia that she gathered her composure and called out, “Dongfang, you…”

“I’ve come to join your team, is that okay?” Dongfang Ji said calmly.

“Ah? Really? Dongfang, are you really going to join our team?” Before Baili Xia could respond, Tan Xiao next to her couldn’t contain her excitement and started shouting.

Although Dongfang Ji rarely participated in school events, Tan Xiao knew that his basketball skills were absolutely top-notch in the school.

His rare appearances on the school basketball court were stunning.

Not only was he handsome, but his skills were comparable to professional players.

“Of course, it’s true.” Dongfang Ji frowned, wondering why Tan Xiao was so excited and why that person’s attitude towards him was so poor.

“That’s great, that’s great, Xiaxia, did you hear that? It’s great, it’s great!” Tan Xiao was so excited she could barely speak!

“Dongfang, why did you decide to join our team?”

Baili Xia was a bit puzzled; she found it strange that Dongfang Ji would show up at this last minute.

“My brother asked me to come,” Dongfang Ji revealed without hiding anything.

After all, if his brother hadn’t asked him, why would he appear in such a competition?

“So it was Jin…” If it was Jin, then there was nothing to be surprised about.

Jin had promised, like Uncle, not to participate, but he’d never said he wouldn’t help them.

Now, having Dongfang come to assist was practically the same as having Jin himself there.

Dongfang’s basketball skills definitely weren’t inferior to Jin’s.

Baili Xia nodded, then suddenly thought of something and asked, “Aren’t you afraid that others might have opinions?”

“What opinions?

Although I’m a graduate student, I am also a student at Imperial College.

What reason would they have?”

Dongfang Ji never cared about others’ opinions; those so-called “opinions” were a joke to him.

“But…”

“But what?” Baili Xia stared at Dongfang Ji, waiting for him to finish his sentence.

After a pause of two seconds, Dongfang Ji said, “But I’m not helping for nothing, you need to do something for me.”

Hearing this, Baili Xia widened her eyes and looked at him with disdain.

So there was an ulterior motive after all!
