"In the end, Xia Chen emerged as the victor, leaving the responsibility of purchasing snacks in Zhou Chen's hands."
Zhou Chen remained silent. After the basketball match concluded, he departed with a visibly displeased expression.
Based on his knowledge of Zhou Chen, he doubted whether Zhou Chen would uphold his promise to buy snacks for the class. However, he hadn't anticipated Xia Chen's determination to bring this up in front of the entire class.
"Zhou Chen, since you've lost, it's only fair that you honor your commitment. Real men should be gracious in defeat."
"Indeed, Zhou Chen, you're quite popular in our class. Many girls often give you gifts. Are you telling us you can't even afford snacks?"
A few of the boys pounded the table and chimed in, "Ladies, take heed. This stingy fellow isn't suitable boyfriend material. You'll have a tough time with him in the future."
