C74 There Were so Many Beautiful Women and It Shook the Entire Stadium
"Hey Lin Dong, class is over. Where are you?"
Tian Meihui messaged Lin Dong.
He nearly forgot the plan he'd made with Tian Meihui. He texted back, "I'm heading to the sports complex at school. Just come straight there."
"Alright, I'll bring my girlfriends along (grinning)!" Tian Meihui responded.
Lin Dong pocketed his phone and descended from the dormitory.
Then, another message popped up on WeChat.
Puzzled, Lin Dong checked his phone and saw it was from Ma Chenchen.
"Where are you? I've brought some people to root for Tian Chao."
Ma Chenchen inquired.
Lin Dong hadn't expected her to bring friends; she hadn't agreed to it back in class.
After a moment, he replied, "Oh, okay. I'm at the guys' dorm. Head on over."
"No need, I'll just go straight there. Gotta go!" Ma Chenchen messaged back.
Lin Dong found it odd.
Ma Chenchen was acting out of character today, and he couldn't figure out why.
As the time drew near, Lin Dong quickened his pace to the sports field where the match was about to start.
"Let's go! Let's go!"
As soon as Lin Dong reached the stadium, he was greeted by a chorus of cheers.
On the outdoor pitch, two soccer teams faced off.
Tian Chao's team was in white jerseys, while the opposing team sported red and white.
Tian Chao's team was led by a tall, mustachioed guy.
Across from him, the opposing team's captain was a handsome and equally tall young man, standing tall and proud.
The teams were clearly divided.
The opposing stands were filled with spectators, predominantly girls, who were chanting, "Jiang Cheng! Jiang Cheng!"
They appeared to be his fan club.
On Tian Chao's side, supporters were sparse, with just a few girls among the loyal male friends like Liu Wenming and Zhou Hengyu.
The contrast between the sides was stark!
Lin Dong joined Liu Wenming and Zhou Hengyu, taking a seat next to them.
"What's all this about?" he asked.
It seemed less like a match and more like a contest of who could cheer the loudest!
Liu Wenming scoffed, "He's just showing off. Jiang Cheng, with his handful of female fans, is flaunting his popularity. It's infuriating just to think about it!"
Zhou Hengyu snorted in agreement, "Instead of focusing on the competition, he's putting on a show. Wait until Old Tian gives them a piece of his mind!"
Both were visibly annoyed, though they couldn't quite hide the hint of jealousy in their voices.
Lin Dong clapped them on the shoulder, reassuringly, "Don't worry. Once Ma Chenchen and Tian Meihui arrive, we'll have more hands on deck."
Liu Wenming and Zhou Hengyu's frustration eased somewhat at that.
On the field, Tian Chao's coach looked displeased. What was meant to be a friendly match had been turned into a personal fan meet by Jiang Cheng!
If you want to show off your fans, go hold a concert. How can we have a proper match with this going on?
Jiang Cheng, hands on his hips, retorted, "Sorry, my female fans are just too enthusiastic. It's tough for me too. Maybe you should invite some girls over to lighten the mood."
"Brother Cheng! What girls could they possibly bring? Are any of them as handsome as you?" someone from the team called out, prompting laughter from his teammates.
Tian Chao's coach shot back, "Enough with the nonsense. Let's settle this on the field!"
Jiang Cheng laughed, "Sure, but I do feel sorry for you. You don't even have one female fan."
In response, Tian Chao's coach pointed to a few girls in the stands, proclaiming loudly, "Who says we don't have any? Look right there!"
But as he pointed, the girls stood up and walked away in disdain.
A breeze swept through, leaving Tian Chao's coach frozen in embarrassment. He had just claimed support, only for them to walk away immediately—what a way to be publicly humiliated!
The crowd erupted in laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"What a farce!"
"Did he just slap his own face?"
"Now you guys really are a bunch of bachelors!"
The players on Jiang Cheng's side were shouting boisterously.
On Tian Chao's side, the team members' faces were grim, tinged with embarrassment.
Their morale had taken a hit.
Tian Chao himself looked particularly displeased.
It was then that he remembered Lin Dong's earlier words about Tian Meihui and Ma Chenchen coming to form a cheer squad.
Unable to contain himself, he blurted out, "What's there to gloat about? Our cheer squad will be here any minute!"
Instantly, all eyes turned to Tian Chao.
The team leader beside him tugged at his arm.
"What are you doing? Stop spouting nonsense. We don't have any cheer squad."
Tian Chao's mind raced, and he retorted loudly, "My buddy Lin Dong said he's got it covered. We're not backing down to Jiang Cheng!"
"Lin Dong? Your buddy must be quite the influencer. How many can he bring? One or two?"
Jiang Cheng scoffed with a sneer.
Without hesitation, Tian Chao pulled out his phone and dialed Lin Dong.
Lin Dong picked up, puzzled as to why Tian Chao was calling him from the court.
Tian Chao didn't wait, blurting out, "Hey Lin, where's our gorgeous cheer squad? Damn, we're being scorned here. You can't let your bro down!"
Lin Dong glanced at the court, quickly grasping the situation.
He was confused; Tian Meihui and Ma Chenchen had confirmed they'd be there—why the delay?
As he looked toward the field's entrance, he saw a bevy of girls making their entrance.
Tian Meihui, dressed to kill, was leading the pack, with a freshly dolled-up Ma Chenchen at her side.
Their contrasting styles only highlighted their beauty, drawing eyes irresistibly their way.
Following them was a procession of fashionably dressed girls—there must have been forty or fifty.
And they were not just any girls; they were stunning and statuesque, far outshining Jiang Cheng's ordinary student fanbase.
The players' eyes went wide in amazement.
Such a gathering of beauties was a rare sight, and the entire field fell into an awed hush.
The boys couldn't resist gaping, their Adam's apples bobbing, eyes brimming with longing.
"My goodness, look at all the beauties!"
"Tian Meihui is like a fiery fairy with that outfit and her stunning face – she's unbelievably gorgeous!"
"Ma Chenchen is no less striking. I better start treating her well; you never know when she might notice me!"
...
Liu Wenming and Zhou Hengyu's eyes were glued to the group of girls approaching, muttering to themselves.
Lin Dong was taken aback as well.
He hadn't anticipated Ma Chenchen and Tian Meihui bringing such a large group of girls.
He had figured that a dozen or so would suffice.
But they were all dolled up, looking less like a support squad and more like contestants in a beauty contest!
Even though they didn't quite match Han Qingxue and Zhang Xinrui in terms of looks, he had to concede that these girls were indeed a sight for sore eyes!
Caught in his reverie, Lin Dong noticed Ma Chenchen and Tian Meihui had set their sights on him.
Flanked by a bevy of striking girls, they converged around him under the watchful gaze of everyone present.
