Shizi Dogs vs. Daxue Dolphins (2)

The players went back to their respective benches, with the Daxue Dolphins appearing to be frustrated. Meanwhile, the Shizi Dogs excitedly spoke to each other as they drank some water and wiped their sweat. 

"Did you see that, Lina?" Zeren asked, bouncing excitedly as he flexed all of the points he scored. 

"I scored six points in total. Six!" he boasted. "Yuze managed to get eight in, so that means that I'm almost as good as Yuze." 

Yuze shook his head as he heard the first-year students' ambitious statement. 

Lina, also finding Zeren's activity quite impressive, nodded in agreement. 

"Yeah," she said. "You did a great job." 

Zeren's eyes widened, and he froze on the spot, his heart feeling like it was beating a hundred miles per hour. Then, he looked at Jinping, who could care less about what was happening. 

"I did a great job," he absent-mindedly muttered. 

Meanwhile, Kai pursed his lips after Lina complimented Zeren.
