Kai returned to the bench, smiling to himself. He had a lot of fun with the little game. Around him, the gym continued to murmur and cheer.
The students in the bleachers whispered excitedly, some feeling inspired to play basketball in order to play like him.
The new players looked at him, hearts practically shooting out of their eyes.
"I am flabbergasted," one said, shaking his head.
"I thought Caishen was the best among us," another muttered. "Kai made it look easy."
Kai didn't hear them, though. Instead, he went over to his old teammates and exchanged high-fives with Andy, Jet, and Shang.
Andy patted him on the back. "Man, you're still a beast. You're better than me at three-pointers now."
Kai humbly shook his head. "You're still the best at that."
Jet chuckled. "Yeah, that was like watching a professional. What happened to you?"
Shang smirked, nudging Jinping. "Bet Caishen thought he had a chance."
