Sara finally raised her head and looked at him seriously, "If it hurts, you can scream. I won't laugh at you."
Simon replied, "I won't."
However, in the following second.
"Ouch!!"
Sara fixed Simon's bone in an instant. Simon shouted in agony.
Sara stood up and said, "Go to the infirmary and apply medicine later. Don't get your wound wet, no strenuous exercise and it will recover in half of a month's time."
Simon's face was pale as he took a deep breath, "... Will it affect my ability to play basketball?"
Sara mulled over it for a moment and replied, "It should be no problem."
Simon smiled, "Thank you very much."
He turned to Victor and said, "I'll go onto the court later."
Victor looked at him incredulously, "Are you crazy?"
Sara said mercilessly, "I'm sorry to inform you that what I meant was that it won't affect your ability to play basketball after you've recovered. Not now."
Simon smiled bitterly, "But now, we..." Scrollania College was about to lose.
Sara could hear people gossiping around. She was new at school, so she did not really have a sense of belonging. However, it annoyed her that people disregarded their effort.
Out of the blue, Scarlet said, "I remember Alex can play basketball well. You even wanted to recruit him into the basketball team back then."
Simon shook his head, "I even offered him the position of captain, but he refused it."
Victor also said, "I had asked him many times, but he ignored me every time. It's impossible."
"Alex hasn't played basketball for many years." Nina suddenly appeared out of nowhere and continued speaking, "If I'm not mistaken when he was a freshman in high school, he missed seeing his mother for the last time because he was playing basketball at school."
"He definitely won't go on the court." Nina added.
Freya sighed," After this game, I don't know how long our school will be ridiculed by the group of b*stards from Soya."
"By that time, I guess everyone in Jena City will be laughing at us." Scarlet shrugged, "It's my fault after all."
"The most important thing is..." Freya said, "The basketball team might be in danger. Strong teams are always the target. If they lose this match, they are going to lose everything."
Nina said all of a sudden, "Sara, aren't you close to Alex? You should persuade him to join the game. I'm sure he will listen to you."
Her voice was so loud that all the people around heard it. Suddenly, a lot of girls were looking at her.
Sara was startled and took a step back subconsciously Nina said with a smile, "Sara, it concerns the reputation of our college. Just go and talk to Alex."
Sara replied, "But you mentioned that Alex refused because of his mother..."
Nina raised her eyebrows, "That's why I asked you to go. Alex will definitely agree if it is you." She changed the topic suddenly, "Are you unwilling to go because of that article about you on our school's website? Do you actually want our college to lose?"
"I... I don't!"
A girl shouted from the crowd, "Sara, I apologize to you. Please go and persuade Alex! We really can't afford to lose!"
"Yes, Sara! I apologize to you too! Please persuade Alex..."
"Sara, do you really want our college to lose?"
Simon's expression darkened, "Nina, what do you mean by that?"
"I'm just telling the truth." Nina said innocuously.
Freya's face was red with anger, "You're obviously trying to morally kidnap Sara! Who are you to command Sara?"
Everyone knew that Alex would be triggered if anyone brought up his mother. Basketball was Alex's "last straw".
That's why Nina deliberately asked Sara to go. If Sara didn't go, everyone would inevitably blame Sara for her selfishness. If Sara went, Alex would definitely embarrass Sara.
"Because Alex treats her differently." Nina smiled and said, "If Alex listened to me, I would go."
The crowd was starting to beg Sara. Sara's face was pale. She pursed her lips, didn't know how to deal with such situation.
The anger in Nina's heart subsided. She thought, "William really was smart. Even if they lost the basketball match, no one would blame Simon. Sara and Alex would take the blame. Killing two birds with one stone, it was perfect.
She grinned, "Sara, the game is about to begin. Are you sure you don't want to go?" Scarlet frowned, "Nina, don't cross the line."
Nina said helplessly, "I'm just worried."
She looked to be a goody-two-shoes, but her heart was blooming.
When the onlookers saw that Sara was not taking any action, they began to tell her off, as if it was Sara was obliged to persuade Alex and that Alex would definitely go if Sara begged.
No one knew how heavy the burden of responsibility was until it falls on them.
If Sara didn't go, then it would be Sara's fault, it was because of Sara's selfishness as Sara wanted to take revenge for that article about her, making the school embarrassed. It would be Sara's fault!
A young man's clear voice echoed through the crowd, "Basketball?"
Everyone turned around and saw Alex walking over slowly. As he was a little shortsighted, he was squinting slightly, giving the impression that he was in a bad mood.
Nina shoved Sara to him, "Alex! Sara has something to tell you!"
"Nina, you......" Freya was furious. However, she had no choice. She could only say, "Alex, Sara is..."
"Is it about playing basketball for the school?"
Alex smiled and said, "It's not impossible."
Nina was shocked.
Scarlet and the others looked at him in surprise.
They knew that Alex really never intended to play basketball again.
Alex turned a blind eye to their surprise. He bent down slightly and whispered in Sara's ear, "I can promise you to play this game, but you something in return. have to promise me Sara was bewildered.
"Huh? When did I ask you to join the match? Did I say that? Why should I agree to your request?" Sara thought.
However, it was a piece of good news that Alex was willing to join the match. Sara whispered, "What is it?"
Alex whispered in her ear.
Sara's ears turned red suddenly. She turned her head aside, "I... I...
Alex said coldly, "As long as you agree, I will definitely win. What do you think?"
Sara bit her lower lip so hard it almost bled. Then, she nodded. "...I promise you."
Alex smiled and patted her head. The moment he turned his head, any trace of gentleness on his face faded away. He turned around to face the crowd. The gentleness on his face disappeared as he said, "Remember this, the reason why you aren't going to be humiliated by the people from Soya is because of Sara."
