The next was a very busy day at Gusu Lan University. Almost all girls and boys crowed around the playground, longing to see the inter-faculty games. Every Department used to take part in inter-faculty games.

What excited them the most was that the top playboys of their university were going to play against each other, especially Mr. Handsome and Prince Charming. All the girls were cheering all the players there.

Wang Yibo, Song Jiyang, Meng Ziyi, Hao Xuan, and others already made their presence in the playground area.

Song Jiyang and Yibo were sitting next to each other, warming up for their matches.

"Song Jiyang, you have to win for the Department of Technology," Yibo said stretching his legs.

"I will." Song Jiyang said with determination." Not only for our department but also I have to show Mr. Heartbreaker with whom he is messing with."

"That's it." Yibo patted Jiyang.

"Yibo, don't lose to Prince Charming." Song Jiyang said looking at Yibo.

"I won't," Yibo said confidently.

"Don't become overconfident. You don't know how determined Prince Charming is. I have hard that if he wants to own something, he will get it by any means. Yesterday he already challenged you. So don't take it easy."

"Jiyang, don't worry about that. Yesterday I has a friendly match with him. I already figured out his weak points." Yibo smiled.

"That great dude. Best of luck."

"You too."

The first event started was tennis. There were a total of 8 Departments in Gusu Lan University. The first match was between the Department of Business and the Department of Arts. Before the game started, who would win was already known to everyone. As expected within few minutes Department of Business won as the player was none other than famous Mr. Heartbreaker Wang Hao Xuan. Everyone cheered him while he proudly waved to his audience.

The next match was between the Department of Technology and the Department of Science. Song Jiyang of Department of technology was fully focussed on winning. Within 5 minutes, Song Jiyang won the match. Jiyang smiled and waved to his audience.

"Wow! Mr. Gentle won! My boy is really determined." The girls screamed.

Soon the semifinals of tennis event occurred and two departments were selected for finals - Department of Business and Department of Technology.

Wang Hao Xuan was already excited for the finals. He was sitting beside Xiao Zhan whose eyes were focussed on Wang Yibo, who was warming up and talking merrily with Mr. Gentle.

"Zhan, can you guess who will win in the finals?" Hao Xuan asked.

"Mn?" Zhan advertised his gaze to Hao Xuan.

"Who else? Hao Xuan." Zhan elbowed him.

"Who says Hao Xuan is going to win?" Meng Ziyi suddenly appeared

"Ziyi, where have you been?" Hao Xuan asked.

"I was checking the race tracks. And Zhan, I am 100% sure, Department of Technology is going to win the Tennis match." Ziyi said taking a sip from her water bottle.

"How are you so sure?' Hao Xuan arched his brow.

"It's pretty obvious," Zhan said brushing the bridge of his nose. "Heart matters bro. Whenever there comes a decision between heart and mind, heart wins."

"Woah!" Meng Ziyi chuckled. "Our Prince Charming is using filmy dialogues. Is our Prince Charming going to surrender to his heart today?"

"Miss Wildfire, Xiao Zhan never takes decision with heart, especially when it comes to challenge," Zhan smirked.

"Wow wow, wow...our boy is confident. Don't underestimate the Department of Technology. Yibo is also an expert basketball player." Hao Xuan patted Zhan.

"I have my own ways, Mr. Heartbreaker." Zhan smiled mischievously.

"By the way, good luck Hao Xuan," Ziyi said.

Soon the finals started. Hao Xuan was the one who served the ball first. Song Jiyang initially played slowly letting the ball served by Hao Xuan bounce and didn't try to hit it. Playing like a newbie, he was studying the weak points of his strong opponent. On the other hand, Hao Xuan at first got confused by Jiyang's tactics. What he saw from previous matches was Jiyang used to play like a pro, but he is playing the exact opposite. Suddenly a smirk appeared on Hao Xuan's face as he understood Jiyang's mind. Initially, Hao Xuan was 6 points ahead of Jiyang. Hao Xuan realized what to do to bring Mr. Gentle into action. When Song Jiyang served the ball, Hao Xuan hit a sharp shot due to which the ball landed just before Jiyang's feet and bounced to which the latter dodged. This enraged Jiyang. He closed his eyes for once and then looked sharply at Hao Xuan who was smirking. Again Hao Xuan served. This time Jiyang hit a shot and Hao Xuan lost a point. The rest game continued with Hao Xuan missing points while furious Jiyang earning them. Finally, Song Jiyang won with major points.

All the girls cheered for Song Jiyang. Some of them felt bad as Hao Xuan lost the match. A sweet smile was glued to Song Jiyang's face as he waved to his fangirls. Hao Xuan smiled and gave a handshake before leaving the tennis court.

"So, our lover boy lost to his prince." Meng Ziyi said looking at Hao Xuan who sat beside Xiao Zhan.

"Sometimes losing is better than winning." Hao Xuan said wiping his sweat.

"So, the Department of Technology won a medal." Xiao Zhan said drinking his water.

"Mn." Meng Ziyi nodded. "It was already decided."

"What about you Zhan. Are you going to lose too?" Hao Xuan said taking water from Zhan.

"I am not like you Mr. Heartbreaker," Zhan said wiping water drops from the corner of his lips. "I never lose and I get what I want."

"Why are you so mean to Mr. Handsome?" Hao Xuan sighed.

"Mr. Heartbreaker, I think our Prince Charming is hinting us something else with the words 'I get what I want'". Ziyi smirked.

"Miss Wildfire, don't make wild guesses." Zhan smiled mischievously.

"Where is Lulu shijie? She said that she would come to cheer me." Meng Ziyi said looking around.

"Excuse me." Hao Xuan said making sound with his fingers. "She said she would come to cheer 'us' not only 'you'."

"Poor me! Someone is trying to steal my shijie." Zhan pouted.

"Who is trying to steal your shijie!?" Meng Ziyi said rubbing her nape.

Before Zhan could say something, the announcement of the next event is done. The next event was inter-faculty race. Meng Ziyi looked around for once to check if Xuan Lu reached the ground but failed to see her. A line of sadness appeared on her face. She sighed feeling somehow dejected.

"Meng Ziyi, why are you standing still here? Go to the tracks." A soft voice spoke out in a hurry

The trio of Business Department turned around to see Xuan Lu walking towards them at a fast pace.

"Shijie!" Zhan exclaimed.

"I am sorry for coming late. Ziyi, let's go."

Before Meng Ziyi could say anything, Xuan Lu pulled the former's hand and ran towards the running track.

"Thank You Lulu Shijie for coming." Ziyi smiled like a kid.

"Little girl." Xuan Lu gave a friendly smack. "Focus on winning. I need a medal from my little sister."

"Sure Lulu Shijie." Meng Ziyi nodded.

Soon the race started and Meng Ziyi completely set her target to win. No sooner the whistle was blown, all the participants started to run. Xuan Lu cheered for Ziyi while most of the girls and boys cheered for her.

While running, the words of Xuan Lu- 'I need a metal from my little sister' lingered in her mind which made her even more. Ziyi increased her speed to her highest level and within a minute she touched the ending ribbon winning the race. When she turned around to see the other participants, her jaws dropped. They were far away from the ending line.

"Ziyi!" Xuan Lu ran to Ziyi and hugged her. "You won!"

"Thank you for cheering, LuLu Shijie." Meng Ziyi hugged back.

"I didn't know that you are such a fast runner." Xuan Lu caressed her hair fondly.

"Congrats Miss Wildfire!" A boy gave her water.

Meng Ziyi smiled at him and looked at Xuan Lu as if she was asking for permission. Xuan Lu smiled and nodded. Ziyi took the bottle and drank water.

"Thank you for water." Ziyi smiled.

"Miss Wildfire. You won. We are so happy." A group of girls approached Ziyi.

"Thank you for cheering." Ziyi smiled.

"Take these cookies, Miss Wildfire. You must be hungry." One of the girls said offering her cookies.

Ziyi again looked at Xuan Lu.

"Why are you looking at me? Your girls are giving it to you." Xuan Lu said smiling.

"They are not my girls," Ziyi pouted. "If you don't like it then I won't take them."

"Miss Wildfire, you can give these cookies to Miss Xuan jiejie. She would love it." Another girl said looking at Xuan Lu.

"You guys know her!?" Ziyi asked as her eyes widened.
"Of course. She is known for her gentle and polite behavior." A girl replied.

"Thank you for the cookies." Ziyi took the cookies.

"Miss Xuan jiejie, please taste them." Another girl smiled widely.

"Sure." Xuan Lu gave an assuring smile.

Xuan Lu looked at Ziyi who was looking at the former with a huge pout on her face.

"What happened? Why are you pouting?" Xuan Lu asked?

"Because you are talking so nicely with them and our Miss Wildfire is jealous." Xiao Zhan said handing a water bottle to Ziyi.

"Who is jealous!?" Ziyi answered back.

"Who else? You." Hao Xuan laughed.

"Sorry Hao Xuan, I couldn't come earlier. I had work with designing thing." Xuan Lu apologized.

"It's okay Jiejie. Anyways, I lost the match." Hao Xuan said rubbing his nape.

Before Zhan could say anything, another announcement of the next event was done.

The next event was a basketball match. A smile appeared on Zhan's face.

"Go tiger. Show who the boss is." Hao Xuan patted Zhan.

Zhan smiled and headed towards the ground. On the other hand, Yibo was too determined to win the match. Both of the teams got ready for the match. All the girls started to cheer both the teams as it was the most exciting match ever in the history of Gusu Lan Inter-Faculty games. 

Soon the match started. Zhan already read Yibo's weak points and planned the winning strategy. In the starting, the Department of Technology made 2 points while Department of Business didn't gain even a single point.

"Mr. Handsome is leading the game. Yes! Go for it!" The girls screamed.

A smirk appeared on Yibo's face as he was bouncing the ball.

Zhan gave a half-moon smile seeing Yibo's confident smirk. The next time Yibo bounced the ball and he was about to throw the ball into the hoop, one of the players of the Department of Business stopped the attempt while another plate of the same team threw the ball into the opponent's hoop. And that's how Department of Business started to gain points. Soon tug of war started between both teams as Zhan too started to score points. After a certain time, it was seen that both the teams scored equal points and the team which would score a point extra would win the match.

That was the spine chilling moment. All the girls and boys stared at the ferocious playboys whose eyes were fixed upon each other as if their eyes were enough to kill each other.  All the team members too moved a few steps back, sensing the tension between Mr. Handsome and Prince Charming. A smirk appeared on Zhan's face as the game was proceeding according to his strategy.

Zhan started bouncing the ball while Yibo tried to snatch it. For a moment the ball went into Yibo's hands then for the next moment it returned to Zhan's hands. After struggle for a few seconds, Yibo snatched the ball and started to head towards his opponent's hoop. Yibo threw the ball into the hoop and the ball was about to fall into the hoop when Zhan jumped and stopped the ball. All Zhan's fangirls screamed his name, cheering him while Yibo looked sharply at his opponent who stopped him from winning. Again a fight for the ball started and the ball changed from each other's arms. Finally, Zhan snatched the ball. He almost reached his opponent's hoop when Yibo suddenly appeared in front of him. Without wasting a second, Zhan jumped to throw the ball while Yibo jumped to stop him. Guessing Yibo's next move, Zhan used his backhand to throw the ball into the hoop. Meanwhile, both of the players jumped, as a result, their chests collided with each other and Yibo ended up falling on Zhan and the latter fell on the ground.

Zhan closed his eyes as a reflex as he felt the pain when he landed on the ground. He winced when he felt someone too landed on him. When Zhan opened his eyes, he saw Yibo whose head was buried into Zhan's strong chest. Yibo quickly looked up trying to get up. But they ended up in a position such that their faces were few inches away from each other and Zhan could feel Yibo's warm breath on his lips. Zhan tried to look away but he felt some feeling, a strong urge which stopped him from looking away while Yibo was too shocked that their eyes caught up in an eye-lock.

"Yay! Prince Charming scored the point! Department of Business won the match." The girls screamed.

That was when both Zhan and Yibo snapped out of their eye-lock. Yibo quickly got up and brushed his dress. Zhan tried to get up but felt a sudden pain on his shoulder.

"Ah!" Zhan winced in pain.

Before Yibo could realize what he should do next, Zhan's teammates helped him to get up.

"Xiao Zhan, are you okay?" One of the teammates asked.
"Yes." Xiao Zhan replied smiling.

"What yes!? I can see you injured your shoulder." Another teammate said worriedly.

"It's not that serious." Zhan tried to smile but the pain was much intense.

"You already won the match. No need to act like a hero now." Another teammate took Zhan's arms around his shoulder and carried him to the medical room.

Before stepping towards the medical room, Zhan turned towards Yibo and gave a smile, a smile which Yibo never saw before, maybe a genuine smile or an assuring smile.

Suddenly Yibo felt something in his chest, an uneasy feeling, a feeling he never experienced before.
