A group of male side characters huddled near the equipment shed instantly froze, their jaws dropping to the grass as they watched the school idol approach the field.

"Woah..." one boy whispered, rubbing his eyes in absolute disbelief. "She’s so beautiful she literally sparkles. Do you see that?"

The boy next to him squinted hard through the midday glare, analyzing her glowing skin. "Wait, you sure it's not sweat?"

The first boy snapped his head around, panicking as he realized the truth. "Oh crap, you are right! She's literally sparkling from the heat! That's our school goddess... man, I’d kill to take her out on a date!"

Inside Huawei’s head, she was completely dense to the romantic worship. Her ruby eyes were fixed entirely on the chalk lines of the sports court. 'The ambient temperature has reached thirty-one degrees Celsius,' she noted seriously to herself, pulling her leather-bound research notebook out of her gym bag. 'According to Chapter 5 of the romantic reference material, co-ed gym classes carry a ninety-nine percent probability of triggering the "Accidental Trip and Fall into the Male Lead’s Chest" trope. I must establish a strict running radius to maintain safe physical boundaries.'

Scene 2: The Human Tank Defense

The physical education teacher blew a loud, piercing whistle, dividing the class into a mandatory co-ed dodgeball match. Huawei immediately retreated to the absolute furthest corner of the court, clutching her notebook flat against her chest like an armor plate, determined to stay invisible.

The match began, and the regular high school boys immediately tried to circle her position. They held the red rubber balls gently, blushing as they prepared to make soft, deliberate throws near her feet just to look cool and strike up a conversation.

But they completely underestimated her newly upgraded defensive security variables.

Long and Rong had fully recovered from the emotional devastation of the morning pastry incident. Standing directly in front of Huawei like two solid brick walls, the two ultimate delinquents turned the casual high school gym class into an absolute warzone.

"Protect the Goddess!" Long roared, diving headfirst through the dirt to intercept a high-velocity ball with his stomach, sacrificing his own points to clear her sector.

"Step away from the angel, you vultures!" Rong shrieked in tandem. Using her elite athletic reflexes, she caught two flying balls simultaneously, her wrapped knuckles twitching as she hurled them back with enough force to smoke the opposing team's front line.

The two delinquents moved like heavy tanks, systematically wiping out every single male side character who dared to look in Huawei's direction. Huawei stood peacefully in her corner, her pen flying across the grid paper as she logged their data. 'Sub-hypothesis confirmed. The delinquent security wall has achieved maximum field efficiency. The hungry wolves are completely neutralized.'

 Scene 3: The Catch and Short-Circuit

Huawei was so deeply focused on recording the high-efficiency defensive metrics in her notebook that she failed to notice a massive blind spot. From the absolute far edge of the court, a rogue, high-velocity stray ball slipped past Long's shoulder, hurtling at a terrifying speed straight toward her face.

Before she could even blink her wide ruby eyes, a smooth shadow sliced directly through her vision.

With a sharp, resounding SMACK, a single hand intercepted the ball a mere two inches from the tip of her nose. The impact kicked up a small cloud of dust around his sneakers. It was Chen. His athletic posture was perfectly poised, his uniform shirt damp with sweat, and he didn't even flinch from the sting of the rubber.

Chen turned his head backward, flashing his bright, warm, incredibly enthusiastic smile right at her. "Be careful, Huawei! Stay right behind me!"

Huawei froze instantly, her entire logical system collapsing into a pile of smoking ashes. "Wow..." she whispered softly, her chest heaving as she stared at his broad athletic back. "That was... pretty scary."

Her face instantly exploded into a burning, dark pink flush that traveled all the way to her ears. Her fingers trembled so violently that her mechanical pen slipped from her grip, tumbling uselessly into the dirt. She was completely unable to calculate how his personal stats effortlessly bypassed her security wall every single time.

The moment the beautiful romantic tension peaked, the rest of the field erupted into pure high-school chaos.

"Hey! Look at that guy!" the eliminated boys from the sidelines shouted, pointing and jeering furiously. "What a total show-off! He’s just trying to look cool in front of Huawei!"

Before Chen could even lower the ball, Long and Rong dropped their defensive stances and charged him like two feral animals.

"Hey, sports punk! Get away from the Goddess!" Long bellowed, tackling Chen by the shoulders.

"Yeah! No unverified touching in the perimeter!" Rong screamed, grabbing Chen's gym shirt and aggressively dragging him away from the corner while Chen laughed nervously, trying to defend himself from the twin delinquents' wrath.

While the chaotic gang war rumbled across the gym mats, Yue was sitting completely checked out on the nearby bench. She had her dark sunglasses slid over her eyes, her head resting back against the chain-link fence as a tiny sleep bubble floated from her nose. She was completely asleep, entirely immune to the romantic disasters of Shenghua Academy.
