Vivian casually made a playful remark, not expecting them to take it seriously. But when Erica responded with such a statement, it left her momentarily stunned.

"Recognized? What do you mean?"

Erica said, "There's a popular gossip thread on the campus forum that pairs up the famous singles at our school. You and Nai Shawn are recognized as the most incompatible."

Vivian felt a bit disheartened and said sulkily, "Even such threads exist. People at our school are really bored."

No one responded to her, and the topic was dropped. After a while, Erica and Sally started chatting about other things. Vivian pulled her back, "Why are we incompatible?"

Erica thought Vivian was acting a bit strange today, being so fixated on this issue, but she didn't think much of it and said directly, "That's just what the post said. Something about appearance, profession... Let me think about how they put it. It was quite well said."

She recalled, "It was something like this: one is as elegant and ethereal as ink wash painting, the other as vibrant as an oil painting; one is a celestial being, the other a worldly beauty... Hey, what's with that expression!"

Erica was annoyed as she was getting excited.

Vivian remained expressionless, "I'm getting goosebumps, and I'm not oily at all."

Erica: "...Your joke is really cold."

Vivian thought about it and was still unsatisfied, "Why are our professions incompatible? We're both in computer science, the IT duo..."

Erica scoffed at her, "Can you come up with a worse title? The same major doesn't have any admiration factor, okay? Besides, computer science is just one of Nai Shawn's specialties."

Vivian had nothing to say, feeling frustrated for a while, then suddenly remembered an important question, "So who do people say is compatible with Nai Shawn?"

"No one, really. Whoever is mentioned, someone objects."

Great! Vivian felt satisfied.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the gym suddenly became lively. Vivian immediately looked towards the court, and sure enough, Nai Shawn had come out in a white basketball uniform.

He was already handsome and charming, and in sportswear, he looked even more spirited. Casually catching a pass from a teammate, he dribbled calmly a couple of times, then suddenly accelerated when a teammate came to intercept. Everyone thought he was going to break through, but he suddenly stopped, barely aiming before jumping to shoot. The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air, and time seemed to freeze at that moment. Vivian watched his flying black hair, holding her breath.

Swish!

The basketball fell precisely into the hoop.

A three-pointer.

After a few seconds of silence, the audience erupted in cheers, but Nai Shawn didn't even acknowledge the applause. After exchanging a few words with his teammates, he began the most basic warm-up. His focus was entirely on the court, ignoring the audience.

Erica sighed, "That's what you call an idol."

Cecilia said, "They say Nai Shawn is even better at swimming than basketball. I wonder what a swimming competition would be like."

Vivian couldn't help but imagine it, a swimming competition, the great Nai Shawn in swimwear...

Her face turned bright red.

Cecilia noticed her blushing and said curiously, "Vivian, are you feeling hot?"

Vivian righteously scorned her, "You're too lewd!"

Cecilia: "..."

T_T She felt so wronged.

A few minutes later, the game officially started, with Nai Shawn in the starting lineup.

Basketball is a very exciting sport. Unlike soccer, which has moments of brilliance after long periods, basketball is almost constantly thrilling.

On the court, Nai Shawn was undoubtedly the most eye-catching, not just because of his outstanding appearance and strong reputation, but because of his dazzling performance.

Vivian seemed to see the in-game character Smiling Naihe.

She didn't really understand basketball, but the calmness in his exquisite passes, the sharp wit in his evasive maneuvers, and the immense strength in his forceful breakthroughs all reminded her of the top player in the game.

Sometimes, Nai Shawn on the court could almost be described as graceful, yet when he exploded, he was overwhelmingly powerful, a stunning display of primal speed and strength.

And so Vivian realized.

There really is such a thing in the world, where in just a moment, one's affection for someone can reach its peak.

Vivian watched the game with intense focus, as did Erica and the others. After the first quarter ended, Sally excitedly said, "Nai Shawn's mid-air direction change was so cool! I must make David practice it!"

Cecilia said, "I think that requires a high level of physical fitness."

Sally said, "I don't know. Ah, Nai Shawn is truly talented in both academics and sports."

Not just talented, Vivian thought, looking at the handsome figure resting, remembering the video he made. This person is just too excellent. If they really end up together, she must work harder.

After a short break, the game entered a more intense second quarter.

Nai Shawn's personal score wasn't the highest on the court so far. He sometimes preferred to pass the ball to his teammates, but he was clearly the one controlling the pace. Under his organization, the computer science team played very smoothly. By the end of the second quarter, the computer science team was leading the architecture team by almost twenty points.

Sally said, "Nai Shawn should be coming off now. David said he would only play half the game today."

Cecilia was quite disappointed, "Why?"

Vivian also looked at her.

Sally said, "Well, it's a farewell game, so the senior substitutes will also play. And did you forget? Nai Shawn had a car accident recently, so long periods of exercise might not be good."

Vivian listened and couldn't help but feel a bit lost. When she first heard about the senior's car accident, she didn't pay much attention after knowing it wasn't serious. Who would have thought...

Life is truly amazing.

Ten minutes later, the third quarter began, and Nai Shawn indeed didn't play. The audience was filled with disappointed murmurs. Vivian wasn't too disappointed, still watching the game intently, but she was paying more attention to Nai Shawn on the sidelines.

Noticing him talking to his teammates, looking at the court as if discussing the game.

Noticing him tilting his head to drink water, the tips of his black hair glistening with bright highlights.

Noticing him...

...

...

Putting down the water bottle, suddenly and without warning, he walked towards the audience!

Vivian froze in her seat.

The entire audience's attention gradually shifted away from the court, almost all eyes were on him.

Yet Nai Shawn remained calm and composed, as if those gazes didn't exist. He walked naturally up the steps of the audience, then through the rows of seats, directly to Vivian.

Vivian was sitting in the row by the aisle, so he easily stood beside her, casually resting one hand on the back of her seat, leaning down, his intense gaze fixed on her.

"Everyone's going out for a gathering later, so I might not be online tonight."

Vivian nodded.

"What are you planning to do tomorrow?"

Vivian said, "Study."

Vivian's expression was also extremely calm, but if you listened carefully to what she said, you'd find that rather than calm, it was more like...

Nai Shawn said, "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Vivian said, "Oh, then I'll save you a seat."

...

She had completely entered a reflexive state...

Nai Shawn glanced up and said to Cecilia at the edge, "There's an empty seat over there, could you move in a bit?"

Cecilia looked beside her, and sure enough, the person next to her had left at some point. Cecilia mechanically moved in, and Erica, Sally also followed suit, moving in mechanically. Vivian stood up and sat in Sally's original seat.

"Thank you."

Nai Shawn said politely, then unceremoniously sat down next to Vivian, his gaze turning to the court, casually watching the game.

With him at the center, there was a ten-meter radius of silence, completely contrasting with the intense action on the court.
