Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

When Quan Zhisui first dunked, there weren’t many people around, and only a few witnessed it. But as the news spread, by the time the first half of the game was almost over, the crowd had grown significantly.

Who would have thought that in the second half, during the one-on-one challenge, Quan Zhisui would immediately start with a dunk?

She’s a girl, for heaven’s sake!

Both men’s and women’s basketball hoops are set at the same height, just over three meters, and very few women can dunk!

Who would have expected Quan Zhisui to be able to do it?

The spectators went wild, with waves of applause and cheers echoing continuously.

Thud! Thud!

Quan Zhisui grabbed the ball again, dribbling it forcefully on the ground.

If the first half was played for the class monitor and the propaganda committee member, then the second half’s one-on-one was for herself!

Who wouldn’t be upset if their running video was inexplicably replaced with someone else’s?

And Quan Zhisui, she held grudges.

Moreover, she wasn’t oblivious—she could clearly see what Lu Qin was trying to do.

It was obvious that Lu Qin liked Wei Shixu, but her way of expressing it was baffling.

Originally, Quan Zhisui had already planned to go home.

But Lu Qin insisted on continuing, saying she wanted to take it seriously, even asking Quan Zhisui if she dared to continue.

Quan Zhisui was actually quite domineering. She really, really…

Hated being provoked!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After that, Quan Zhisui dunked three times in a row!

She made it clear to everyone that the first two dunks weren’t flukes—she could do it, and she always could.

Not only that, her dribbling, footwork, and skills were all top-notch!

She played with her own rhythm on the court.

When the two faced off for the ball, Quan Zhisui’s physical strength exploded, and her sharp, fierce gaze occasionally flashed, as if anyone who dared to steal the ball from her would face dire consequences!

The overwhelming pressure was so intense that Lu Qin couldn’t even bring herself to look her in the eye.

The cheers from the sidelines grew louder and louder, and everyone was captivated by Quan Zhisui!

Wei Shixu, on the other hand, remained quiet, but his eyes were glued to her.

In the first half’s three-on-three, Lu Qin’s team had managed to score a few points, but by the time the second half’s one-on-one was almost over, Lu Qin hadn’t scored a single point.

In fact, Quan Zhisui didn’t even let her touch the ball!

Lu Qin couldn’t believe that on the basketball court, in her own domain, she was being completely dominated.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The basketball bounced in Quan Zhisui’s hands, hitting the ground with loud, powerful thuds, each one resonating with intensity.

The sound of the ball hitting the ground, once so familiar to Lu Qin, now became her nightmare!

Quan Zhisui, expressionless, stole the ball, leapt into the air, and dunked again…

Total annihilation!

When it was over, Lu Qin was bent over, hands on her knees, gasping for breath, too exhausted to stand.

She had scored zero points!

Quan Zhisui had gone all out, showing no mercy.

Athletes usually have strong mental fortitude, but at this moment, Lu Qin felt her spirit shatter, completely defeated!

Thud!

With one final move, Quan Zhisui tossed the ball to Kong Mingze outside the court.

But the sound of the ball hitting the ground made Lu Qin cover her ears in fear—she was now terrified of that sound!

Suddenly, she remembered the question Quan Zhisui had asked her before the game.

‘Do you still want to play basketball for the rest of your life?’

She had warned her!

If Lu Qin provoked her again, she would make sure Lu Qin never dared to touch a basketball again!

Ignoring Lu Qin, who was breaking down under the hoop, Quan Zhisui returned to the sidelines, putting on her sweater and jacket.

The crowd, meanwhile, erupted into lively discussions!

“Oh my god! Isn’t that girl from the city basketball team? The one sponsored by the Wei Family? How did she get completely destroyed by Quan Zhisui?”

“Lu Qin scored zero points… that’s terrifying…”

“Quan Zhisui is a monster! How does she know how to do everything?”

“She’s a sports prodigy! So freaking cool!”

“Did you see the way Wei Shixu was looking at her… He still likes her, right?”

“Who wouldn’t like her? I’m totally in love! I just wouldn’t dare to pursue her.”

“Quan Zhisui seems like the type who could charm anyone, regardless of gender!”

“Look at those senior boys over there—they’ve skipped class just to watch! Their eyes are glued to her!”

“Will anyone try to pursue Quan Zhisui after today?”

“Don’t let Wei Shixu hear that…”

On the third-floor railing, a bespectacled senior boy stood there for a long time, staring at the basketball court even after everyone had left, until his classmate called out to him.

“Qiu Rui! What are you still standing there for?”

Qiu Rui pointed at Lu Qin, who was crouched on the court crying, and asked, “Who is she?”

His classmate explained, “She’s a new transfer student, a sports prodigy in the second year. Who would’ve thought she’d get completely crushed by Quan Zhisui from the regular class!”

Qiu Rui pursed his lips. “I meant, why is she in the school’s official video?”

His classmate replied, “Oh, you just came back from your art studio retreat, so you wouldn’t know! She’s sponsored by the Wei Family! And the Wei Family even saved her once—they have a deep connection! Someone with that kind of backstory is perfect for the school’s promotional videos!”

Qiu Rui frowned, his expression strange.

…

Zuo Zichen had already left school earlier, but after waiting in the car for a while and not seeing Quan Zhisui, he panicked and ran back to find her.

Who would’ve thought he’d see his sister dunking on the basketball court!

Good lord, the height of her jump, the sheer power as she leapt into the air, and the terrifying speed at which she handled the ball mid-air.

Zuo Zichen was stunned!

He suddenly realized just how strong Quan Zhisui really was—she could easily kill him if she wanted to.

“Wahhh!” Zuo Zichen burst into tears of gratitude. “My sister is so kind!”

He had done some terrible things to her at the beginning, but when she hit him, she had held back.

Quan Zhisui had played the entire game, and the intense basketball match had left her drenched in sweat. Sports always lifted her spirits.

She slung her backpack over her shoulder and prepared to head home, with Wei Shixu walking alongside her toward the school gate.

Quan Zhisui was a bit surprised. “Are you going home today?”

Wei Shixu nodded. “I go back occasionally.”

He had made some progress in his research and needed to look for something—a bracelet alone wasn’t enough.

Kong Mingze and Zhuge Ying walked side by side behind them, happily dissecting the game.

Zuo Zichen, on the other hand, had already slipped away, hiding in the car to wait. He tried to avoid running into Wei Shixu at school—he was scared of him.

As they left the school gate, Wei Shixu suddenly asked, “Why didn’t you shoot any three-pointers?”

He had been on the court but hadn’t played, instead watching Quan Zhisui the entire time, unable to look away.

But even during the one-on-one in the second half, when there was no one to interfere, Quan Zhisui hadn’t attempted a single three-pointer.

“I can’t,” Quan Zhisui replied with a bright smile, revealing a small canine tooth.

The Martial Arts School’s grounds weren’t big enough to set up a basketball hoop.

When Quan Zhisui was young, her master wouldn’t let her go into the mountains alone, but she was too mischievous, so one of her senior brothers gave her a basketball.

She would play with it whenever she had the chance, dribbling, doing fancy moves, and jumping around with the ball.

But since there was no hoop or marked court, Quan Zhisui had never attempted a three-pointer and didn’t know the rules of basketball. If it had been an official game, she might have been disqualified long ago.

Unfortunately for Lu Qin, she had been so focused on outdoing Quan Zhisui in the one-on-one that she had inadvertently created the perfect environment for Quan Zhisui to dominate!

After discovering her temper, her master had started training her in combat. He said there were no purely good or bad people in the world, nor were there purely good or bad tempers—it was all about finding the right path and using the right methods.

Her talent should be maximized.

Instead of being irritable and mischievous in daily life, it was better to exhaust herself on the court.

Years of combat training had made Quan Zhisui exceptionally skilled at crushing her opponents in one-on-one situations!

Both physically and mentally!

Wei Shixu was momentarily dazed. He stopped and asked, “Do you like playing basketball?”

If she said ‘yes,’ he would build ten basketball courts for her!

Quan Zhisui tilted her head. “Hmm, it’s alright. I don’t really love it or hate it.”

Wei Shixu paused, then added, “You know what, Quan Zhisui?”

“Hmm?” Quan Zhisui adjusted her collar, responding softly.

Wei Shixu: “I really, really like you.”
