Qin Hanyue arrived in a low-key manner, but still caused a sensation.
Almost all eyes in the venue gathered on him.
There was a commotion in the audience, and they turned their phone cameras towards Qin Hanyue, who was standing on the outskirts of the basketball court.
"It's Young Master Qin! Young Master Qin has come to our school. My god, he's the most powerful figure in the capital, as the legend says!"
"That face, height, temperament, posture...he's just too perfect, right? What kind of woman would be good enough for him with such an outstanding family background and capabilities, not to mention the good looks."
"I'm a guy and even I adore him. If I could say a sentence to Young Master Qin, I'd be bragging about it my whole life."
"Could he be here to watch Qiao Ying's game? Judging by where he's looking...could they really have that kind of relationship?"
"Although their age, family background, status are worlds apart, their looks and temperament do seem well-matched."
"I only wanted to take a look at the legendary mathematical genius, the beauty of Peking University. Didn't expect I could also see Young Master Qin."
Qin Hanyue's arrival directly pushed the atmosphere to its peak.
Principal Han Xi noticed the students were suddenly restless, standing up one after another, holding up their phones shooting something.
He didn't care, and continued watching the two people on the court.
Qin Hanyue's gaze was too hot.
Qiao Ying on the court soon discovered the tall, long-legged Qin Hanyue on the outskirts of the basketball court. Her vision leapt over the heads in front to meet his.
The latter reciprocated with a warm, faintly ambiguous smile.
"They made eye contact! He's definitely here for Qiao Ying. I can't take it, my heart can't handle this! That smile is just too captivating!"
"Those sticky eyes seem to be shooting spider silk at each other! Who cares about watching the game, let's just watch the big shots fall in love!"
Huo Chengdong took out a new banner: "Sis Ying!"
Successfully drawing Qiao Ying's eyes away from Qin Hanyue onto himself. Qiao Ying glanced at Huo Chengdong shouting vigorously: "......"
The two computers had been inspected. The game was about to start.
"Principal Zhang, how's that persistent headache of yours? Should I move a stool over for you to sit? After all, the stakes aren't small. Don't pass out on us later."
"It's just a few dorm buildings. My old man can afford to lose." Zhang Chengyong thought: Enjoy yourself a bit longer.
Principal Han Xi glanced at him, thinking: This is my first time meeting someone so eager to donate buildings to us.
On the court, the two sat facing each other. Leizi looked utterly disdainful.
Even after the game started, he wrote the program in a completely casual manner, not taking Qiao Ying seriously at all.
Seeing Qiao Ying complete writing the code in just a few moves, Leizi gave a cold humph inside, his actions still unhurried.
Qiao Ying uncharacteristically had the patience to wait for him.
As the only cheerleader in the venue, Huo Chengdong succeeded in attracting Qiao Ying's attention. Qiao Ying looked at him again, but her eyes inadvertently were drawn by Qin Hanyue behind Huo Chengdong.
The latter's smile grew even warmer upon seeing her look his way.
Qiao Ying looked at him: What a dummy.
When Leizi finished writing the code, the two exchanged.
Qiao Ying took his code at a glance, not even wanting to lift a finger. Playing Snake on the information building's light controls was more worthwhile.
Seeing Qiao Ying staring at his code without moving, Leizi sneered arrogantly, "If you feel it's not worth wasting time, you can just admit defeat directly."
He picked up the mineral water in front of him, slowly twisted it open, and started drinking unhurriedly, too lazy to even look at the code in front of Qiao Ying.
Qiao Ying lazily glanced at him, putting just one hand on the keyboard, posture relaxed.
Seeing Qiao Ying operating with one hand, Leizi thought she had simply given up. Only then did he look towards the screen displaying Qiao Ying's code.
Principal Han Xi had the exact same thought as Leizi. He already saw himself as having won, saying to Zhang Chengyong: "Principal Zhang, even if she's like this...your student still can't have a defeatist attitude in the competition!"
He thought: those dorm buildings are secured.
Zhang Chengyong ignored him, having a pig-eating-tiger attitude, fully trusting in Qiao Ying.
As the competition formally started, the crowds in the stands also gradually quieted down. Though they didn't know whether to shoot Qin Hanyue or the match.
Stuck in painful indecision,
the complexion of Leizi in front of the screen quietly changed as he stared at Qiao Ying's code, his brow furrowing bit by bit.
Gone was his earlier arrogance.
At this time, the crowds who were still conflicted over watching Qin Hanyue versus the match unanimously turned to look at the electronic screen in the center.
Aside from the Computer Science students, no one else understood any of it, but all were deeply attracted by Qiao Ying's composure and smooth operation.
Despite the low odds, she gave off an air of having everything under control that set hearts at ease.
Before Leizi even figured it out clearly, the indifferent voice of the girl opposite sounded: "With this level, it really is a waste of my time."
Leizi froze for a second before raising his head to look at her.
Just as Qiao Ying slowly turned her computer screen to face him, Leizi's pupils abruptly contracted when he focused his eyes on it.
Qiao Ying: "Even when I was just starting out, I never ran into such a lousy opponent."
If not for Sak and Qiao Yi, Qiao Ying would never even exchange moves with this level. It was insulting herself.
If the hacker world knew, they would surely gawk to laugh their teeth off that the famous hacker X was competing with some no-name kid.
The camera was aimed at the two with live broadcast, so Qiao Ying's words were also recorded, clear as day to everyone present.
Leizi had no reaction. He only dumbly looked at her.
Not just Leizi, everyone was stunned, eyes fixed on that live broadcast electronic screen in the center without reacting.
"It's...over?"
Principal Han Xi frowned: "What's going on?"
Only Huo Chengdong waved his banner and shouted loudly: "Sis Ying is awesome!"
"This, this is impossible." Leizi eagerly snatched Qiao Ying's computer, but the facts were right in front of him. He had no choice but to admit it.
He looked at Qiao Ying in disbelief.
Qiao Ying: "Is this your full capability?"
After a long pause, Leizi finally squeezed out a sentence: "Just now, I underestimated you!" His tone was full of dissatisfaction.
And Qiao Ying specialized in treating all kinds of dissatisfaction.
Qiao Ying: "If you can find one loophole in my code within half an hour, I'll count it as your win."
Qiao Ying's words passed through the electronic screen into everyone's ears.
Someone in the stands blurted out: "F*ck, she's so arrogant. I f*cking adore her!"
With this humiliation, how could Leizi endure it?
But when he saw Principal Han's gaze constantly shifting towards him, Leizi let go of his pride he always held onto, and accepted such self-debasing competition rules.
Principal Han had told him about using the dorm buildings as competition prizes, and promised him quite a few benefits to spur Leizi's utmost efforts.
He couldn't afford to lose.
Leizi withdrew his gaze, looking back at the screen.
The crowds also reacted that Leizi had just lost the match.
For a moment, the entire venue erupted.
Peking University students were still alright, having a somewhat expected, seen it all mentality. Hanxi University students weren't so calm.
Among Hanxi's new students this year, Leizi made a name for himself with his skills, making the entire Hanxi aware of his existence.
Zhang Chengyong consoled: "Principal Han, don't worry. Just listen to what Miss Qiao said, within half an hour if your Hanxi can find one loophole, that still counts as your win."
Principal Han Xi haughtily refused: "No need."
His mouth said no need, but his heart still held hope, looking forward to Leizi turning the tables.
That was four whole dorm buildings!
"Do you guys think Leizi can find a loophole within half an hour?"
"I don't know why, but I want to see Leizi lose. I'm not a Hanxi traitor, I just love my country too much."
"If you put it that way...Then I also want to see him lose. I watch Wolf Warrior every damn day. Whoever offends China, even if it were my own dad I'd punish them."
"I also hope the campus belle Qiao can win. I purely love my country, it's definitely not because Master Qin is so handsome."
Everyone stared fixedly at the big screen, growing tense along with it. But they were tense, yet it wasn't hoping Leizi could turn the tables.
Seeing Leizi had no idea where to start, they even rejoiced in secret.
The crowds' patriotic feelings and national consciousness were suddenly aroused.
Just when Leizi was extremely anxious, Hanxi's students unconsciously turned coats to side with Peking University, leaving only Hanxi's principal and school leadership secretly cheering him on, nervous to the point their palms sweated.
