Play against Team India? Yin Shixiong broke into a grin. Great, Ill cheer you on!

Lets go together. Gu Nianzhi slung the baseball bat on her shoulder and opened the front door. Yin Shixiong quickly found his baseball cap and left for the field with her. They were staying in the States for six months and he had originally planned to buy a second hand SUV. However, they were mainly on the Harvard campus and didnt have a need to drive. Instead, they rode mountain bikes for transportation and exercise. Gu Nianzhi and Yin Shixiong rode their bikes to the west baseball field. There was already a large crowd there.

The Huaxia Imperial Students Union womens baseball team wore uniforms with red tops and white bottoms. The members of Team India were wearing white and blue tops and orange bottoms with green embroidery, displaying the colors of Indias national flag. Gu Nianxi also donned the Huaxia uniform; her long hair was tied back in a ponytail that swayed from the back of the baseball cap. She appeared as fresh as the first dew drops of a summer morning. A few male law students recognized her and whistled. One of them was Allan, who had asked if she had a boyfriend on her first day of class.

Nini! Nini! Nini! He called Gu Nianzhis English name as he waved madly and told everyone, See that cutie? Shes mine!

Yin Shixiong was beaming as he found a seat and watched Gu Nianzhi nimbly run around. He was proud and joyous, as though his own daughter was playing out on the field.

Nianzhi, youre here! Did you see that were already behind, 1-5? Zhao Quan had sweat on his forehead as he ran over. Do you really know how to play?

Gu Nianzhi had seen the scoreboard and confirmed that they were indeed being defeated by Team India.

Xin Xinggao was in Team Indias uniform and was chatting happily with an Indian man. Zhao Quan followed Gu Nianzhis gaze to them and said quietly, Thats her boyfriend.

Hmph! Gu Nianzhi snorted disdainfully. Let her reek of curry for the rest of her life!

Zhao Quan chuckled. Ignore her, he looked around before saying, but dont underestimate her; shes very good at baseball. She scored 3 points out of the 5 for Team India.

Gu Nianzhi waved her baseball bat. Dont worry, Ill handle it! The referee blew his whistle as they spoke and the three bases were occupied by the Team Huaxia players. It was Gu Nianzhis turn.

Go Nianzhi!

Go Nianzhi!

Nini! Youre the best!

Gu Nianzhi waved at the crowd before readying the bat in her hand. The opponent pitcher was a huge woman, nearly twice Gu Nianzhis size. She observed Gu Nianzhis tall and slim figure, then suddenly lifted her leg and flung the baseball right at Gu Nianzhis chest! This ball had been thrown at a tricky angle; If it had been a male pitcher, this wouldve been nothing unusual. But for a female pitcher, it was almost considered foul play. Most pitchers avoided throwing so nastily under normal circumstances.

Gu Nianzhi was in low spirits and wanted to vent anyway. As the batter in the face of such a difficult and foul throw, she didnt avoid it, but instead dashed towards it headfirst and raised her arms to viciously hit it with her bat!

Bang! The ball was hit at a low angle and was sent back, disappearing into the sky with a whoosh. Gu Nianzhi threw down the bat and sped towards the first, second, and third bases, then made the home base before the opponent found the baseball.

Home run!

Home run!

Shes got a home run!

The Huaxia Imperial Students Union cried out excitedly. As soon as Gu Nianzhi had entered the field, theyd gotten a home run and had earned four points to tie with Team India at 5-5.

Nianzhi, youre incredible! Im so glad I called you. Zhao Quan handed her a bottle of water and a small towel to dry off with.

Gu Nianzhi took them from him and giggled before taking a sip. Its their turn now; we cant let our guards down.

Team India would be batting and Zhao Quans girlfriend was pitching for the the Huaxia Imperial Students Union. Team India sent Xin Xinggao up and the field went quiet. She had just earned 3 points for Team India, but Team Huaxia had caught up in a tie. Gu Nianzhi sipped more water as she silently stood on the side. The referee blew the whistle and game resumed. This time, Xin Xinggao used all her strengthnot to earn points, but for revenge. She waved the bat and hit the three throws right back at the pitcher, smacking the Team Huaxia pitcher right in the face. The last ball landed square on Zhao Quans girlfriends face and she immediately got a bloody nose.

Xin Xinggao! Stop it! Zhao Quan stood up furiously. The Huaxia Imperial Students Union clamored in the crowd to express their rage. However, the referee sided with Team India and completed ignored Xin Xinggaos behaviour.

You dare to come at me?! Hit me if you have the balls! Xin Xinggao raised her bat to point at her skull as she goaded Team Huaxia.

Since you offered, Im going to take you up on it! Gu Nianzhi immediately rose and ran alone towards her, bat pointing at Xin Xinggao. Ill beat you, traitor!

Bang, bang, bang!

Gu Nianzhi viciously slammed the bat once to shatter Xin Xinggaos dominant right hand, then a second time to whack her hard on the back of her head. Xin Xinggao didnt expect someone from Team Huaxia would actually dare fight her. She cradled her broken right hand and screamed before she was hit on the head again.The pain was so great that she could only roll her eyes before she collapsed limply.

Someones hurt!

Someones bleeding!

Team India witnessed this and rushed over with their bats pointing at Gu Nianzhi. Although Gu Nianzhi had good reflexes and her own bat, she couldnt defend herself from that many people. A bat hit on her the face and immediately left it red and swollen.

Lets go! Well show them! Team Huaxia shook themselves from the shock and ran up with their bats raised at Team India. They surrounded Gu Nianzhi to protect her from getting hit again.

Yin Shixiongs jaw dropped as he watched the two womens teams fight and only rushed over when he glimpsed Gu Nianzhis swollen facehe then covered her head and rescued her from the crowd.

The sirens blared. Someone had called the police and Harvards campus police ran over carrying tasers and their batons at the ready. The two brawling teams were separated and the players were taken to the cruisers. Gu Nianzhi was no exception and was taken from Yin Shixiong to the cruiser.

Yin Shixiong was sweating nervously, then suddenly thought of He Zhichu and called him right away. Professor He, Nianzhi was taken away by the campus police!
