In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 204 I’m Really Already Married

The event hadn’t officially begun yet. Only the leaders and professors had come out to listen to the speeches, and they had all changed into their sports attire.

Xu Jinzhi watched as Xie Yanchuan, clad in his basketball uniform, silently emerged and then stood amongst a few older gentlemen. She couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

A girl standing next to her heard the laugh and turned to look at Xu Jinzhi, teasingly saying, "Professor Xie has come out."

Xu Jinzhi knew they didn’t realize what she was laughing at, and she didn’t bother explaining, simply nodding in agreement.

Perhaps because there were still a few college teams left to compete and they were worried about running out of time, the leaders’ speeches were very brief, and soon after, the game was declared to have started.

The first game was not among the school’s leaders, but rather between the Foreign Languages and Computer Science departments.

The men were vigorous and energetic, and with each pass and score, the audience erupted into cheers. Xu Jinzhi watched with great enthusiasm.

But Xu Jinzhi was also keeping an eye on Xie Yanchuan. She knew that once this game ended, it would be the leaders’ turn to play. After all, these leaders had precious time that couldn’t be wasted.

By the time this game was nearly over, the leaders had gone to prepare, including Xie Yanchuan.

Xu Jinzhi’s face was filled with excitement, while Xie Yanchuan below in the stands was full of reluctance.

After all, Xie Yanchuan really did not want to participate in such events. He hadn’t joined in such activities for years, which was exactly why Dean Zhao had used it as an excuse to corner him this time.

Xie Yanchuan had no choice but to participate.

Actually, he could play basketball, although not very well. But when teamed up with his few colleagues, he had no hopes whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Dean Zhao was comforting another professor, "Don’t be so downhearted. Look, Yanchuan is participating this year, and he’s younger than the professors from the opposing colleges. This year, our college has a great chance of winning."

Xie Yanchuan was right behind them, and upon hearing Dean Zhao’s words, he really wanted to say, "Please stop kidding yourself."

After all, Xie Yanchuan was already prepared to be embarrassed.

It wasn’t until they were up to play that the cheering from both sides’ students began, and Xu Jinzhi joined in as well.

The game started quickly, but this match couldn’t be compared to the previous one.

At one point, it even drew laughter from the spectators when one professor bumped into another.

All the professors on the court were extremely embarrassed but still had to continue toughing it out.

At some point, the ball ended up in Xie Yanchuan’s hands, and his fan girls began loudly cheering, "Go Professor Xie"!

Xu Jinzhi also joined in the cheers, but what she unintentionally shouted was, "Go Xie Yanchuan"!

After successfully making a basket, Xie Yanchuan glanced over in a certain direction. He thought he had heard a familiar voice.

But that glance made Xie Yanchuan think he was seeing things. After all, he was nearsighted and couldn’t see clearly from such a distance.

However, Xie Yanchuan was quickly certain that it was Xu Jinzhi!

How could Xu Jinzhi be here?

He hadn’t mentioned anything about this to Xu Jin, mainly because it wasn’t a particularly glorious competition!

But now, Xu Jinzhi was here.

Thinking of Xu Jinzhi seeing him in such a disheveled state, Xie Yanchuan immediately felt an indescribable sense of embarrassment, but the game continued, and he had to look away.

The thought of Xu Jinzhi watching him made Xie Yanchuan wish he could find a hole to crawl into. This was the first time in his life that he really felt completely humiliated!

Of course, Xu Jinzhi also noticed Xie Yanchuan glancing her way. Seeing his suddenly stiff movements, Xu Jinzhi knew he had definitely seen her.

So, she cheered even more vigorously, causing the surrounding students to turn and look at her.

A girl seated off to the side had been watching Xu Jinzhi for a while and couldn’t help but say, "Why does she look familiar?"

"Who? Do you know her?" her friend beside her asked.

The girl didn’t reply; she felt the face was familiar, but at that moment, she just couldn’t recall where she had seen it.

When the game was over, Xie Yanchuan’s team still won, despite the difficult-to-describe course of the match.

After the win, while Dean Zhao and the rest were embarrassed, they felt a little relieved. Everyone had made a fool of themselves, but now that their college had won, the other old men were even more embarrassed than they were!

As they were leaving the court, Dean Zhao seriously said, "This is all thanks to Yanchuan. You must continue to participate next year!"

Xie Yanchuan, with his head down, couldn’t bear to look at the stands and hearing Dean Zhao made him feel even more embarrassed. He said impatiently, "Next year it won’t be my turn!"

Next year he wouldn’t set foot on the court no matter what. He would never willingly embarrass himself over and over again.

But after changing back into his clothes in the locker room, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t leave on his own, knowing that Xu Jinzhi was there. He couldn’t just leave her behind.

So, Xie Yanchuan picked up his phone and messaged Xu Jinzhi, asking if she was still in the stands.

Xu Jinzhi quickly replied that she was waiting for him at the entrance of the basketball hall.

Upon receiving the message, Xie Yanchuan immediately grabbed his things and headed outside, quickly spotting Xu Jinzhi waiting by the door.

Actually, Xu Jinzhi was wearing the same outfit she had on when she left home that day. At that time she was in high heels and her hair was down, giving her a mature and capable appearance.

But now, having changed into flats and with her hair tied back, she looked very fresh and youthful.

As Xie Yanchuan was walking towards the door, a male student in a basketball uniform approached Xu Jinzhi.

From a distance, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t hear what they were saying, but intuition told him the student wanted Xu Jinzhi’s WeChat.

Thinking this, Xie Yanchuan’s expression turned slightly colder, and he quickened his pace toward Xu Jinzhi. When he was still some distance away, he couldn’t help but call out, "Jinzhi."

Hearing her name, Xu Jinzhi turned around, and the male student did the same, his eyes betraying a hint of surprise.

While Xu Jinzhi was still smiling at the student she said, "I really am married, this is my husband."

At that moment, the student’s face could only be described as complicated. In the end, he could only blurt out flusteredly, "I—I’m sorry!"
