To be honest, Liu Bo was very worried.

This was the first time he had ever seen a high school student, or even a woman, chop a piece of wood as thick as a bowl in half with her bare hands.

God knows how much turmoil he felt when he saw that scene.

That's something no human being could do!

He even tried to split the wood himself in private, and the result was that his arm ached for several days.

Since that incident, Liu Bo knew he had met his greatest enemy in life, and he didn't even dare to confront him head-on.

In order to show his 'domineering and powerful' side, he had no choice but to have a friendly basketball game with Zhong Rou.

"Hmph! I can't be bothered with you." Liu Bo snorted.

"Why would I bother with you?" Zhong Rou retorted angrily. "If you hadn't bullied Wen Qing, I wouldn't even give you a second glance."

"I didn't bully you. Don't you even understand what love is?"

"I don't understand! But I think you deserve a beating!"

... ...

At lunchtime, Zhong Rou, Wen Qing, Liu Bo, Lu Rixing, their two younger brothers, and a group of boys and girls from the class who were there to watch the commotion gathered at the basketball court, along with some onlookers who had come after hearing the news.

Zhong Rou was known for her exceptional abilities at school, and her reputation was widespread.

"Who do you think is better between the two of them?"

"It's hard to say. If we're talking about fighting, I acknowledge that Zhong Rou is very skilled, but this is basketball."

"Too."

“... ..."

Zhong Rou's fighting skills deserve the recognition of the entire school, but this is basketball after all, and there are wins and losses.

On the basketball court, Zhong Rou and Liu Bo looked at each other. The latter held the basketball, gently dribbled it, and passed it to Zhong Rou. Zhong Rou caught the basketball, and Liu Bo said, "I don't bully girls, you go first."

“Okay!” Zhong Rou replied as she tied her hair up high.

Her hair was tied up, her sleeves were pulled up, her shoelaces were tightened, and her face was meticulous.

Wenqing knew that Zhong Rou was serious this time.

Cheerful shouts came from the side. Lu Rixing and his two underlings took three bowls and chopsticks from the canteen and cheered for Liu Bo while tapping the bowls and chopsticks.

The world has suffered under Zhong Rou for too long. Today, with Liu Bo's victory, the three brothers finally have their day.

Zhong Rou glared fiercely at the three brothers, who shrank back as if death was imminent.

My god, that look was terrifying.

But Lu Rixing overcame his fear with great willpower: "Zhong Rou, your good days are over. Today is your death day. As the biggest victim, I, Lu Rixing, will stand up and condemn your atrocities!"

Zhong Rou ignored the chattering 'useless' guy, picked up the basketball, and gently dribbled it. Suddenly, she moved towards the basketball hoop, and Liu Bo blocked her way.

Facing a 1.8-meter-tall man, Zhong Rou was not afraid and charged directly at Liu Bo. The two collided and separated in an instant. Liu Bo almost fell, but fortunately he managed to regain his balance. Zhong Rou, holding the basketball, sent him into the hoop.

"Hiss..." The onlookers gasped.

The two had just had a real physical collision, and it was clear that Liu Bo was at a disadvantage.

Next, everyone witnessed a near-massacre, with Zhong Rou winning the match thanks to her superior physical strength.

Liu Bo's face twitched involuntarily.

This was the most formidable player he had ever encountered in his basketball career, not because of his skills, but because of his physical strength.

He gasped for breath and said, "I lost. I promise I will never bother Wenqing again."

"And me too."

When did I harass you?

Would I dare to harass you?

Liu Bo promised that he would no longer harass the girls in the class, and even abstain from women, and Zhong Rou finally forgave him.

The storm ended, and Zhong Rou stood in the basketball center, hands on her hips, sensing the complex gazes of admiration, envy, and fear directed at her from all around.

The three Lu brothers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Oh no!

If even Liu Bo, that sports student, couldn't stop Zhong Rou, then who in the world could be Zhong Rou's match?

The three brothers prepared to slip away quietly, but after taking only one step, they heard a voice in their ears: "Where do you think you're going?"

"Hehe..." Lu Rixing chuckled awkwardly, "It's hot today, so I was thinking of buying you a bottle of water."

"Boss, I'm going to buy water for Sister Zhong, so you don't need to bother." One of the henchmen ran towards the convenience store.

Lu Rixing paused for a moment: "Um... are you hungry? I have some small bread rolls in my drawer, they're really delicious."

As soon as he finished speaking, another henchman ran off to get the bread roll.

Lu Rixing's mouth twitched.

This is his younger brother who swore to die on the same day, month, and year as him.

When faced with a crisis, they all ran faster than the last.

Lu Rixing grinned, showing his teeth: "That Sister Zhong..."

"Call me father."

"Dad Zhong, do you need a son?"

"I need a pet."

"Zhong Rou, don't push your luck..."

Seeing that there was no reconciliation, Lu Rixing straightened his back, but before he could finish speaking, Zhong Rou clenched her fist and rushed past...

"Zhong Rou, I will never let you get away with this!"

The sound was loud and echoed throughout the school, causing the onlookers to smirk.

That's so brutal!

... ...

Epiphyllum Residential Area.

Chu Fang was exhausted from dealing with layoffs these past few days.

I took a day off today to stay home and rest.

He randomly picked a pay-to-win game, spent over 200,000 yuan on it, and became the coolest guy on the server, until night fell.

With the arrival of winter, nights come especially early.

He uninstalled the pay-to-win game, walked to the window, and stretched.

Another beautiful day has passed.

Chu Fang went into the kitchen and started preparing dinner. Tonight's menu was Western food: spicy shrimp pasta, French-style pan-fried lamb chops, and lemon roasted chicken wings.

Chu Fang bought the most expensive kind of lamb chops, which were said to be air-freighted from abroad. They were kept exercising every day and listening to all kinds of high-end music. In short, the breeding process was quite unusual, which is why the lamb chops were so expensive. One lamb chop was worth five figures.

Chu Fang had never eaten it before, so he specially bought it to try it.

Score the tender lamb chops on both sides and marinate them with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, black pepper, and salt.

Just as they were preparing to fry the lamb chops, the lights in the room suddenly went out, plunging the entire room into darkness, and an unexpected sound came from outside.

Chu Fang: "..."

It seems there's a power outage.

He picked up his phone and opened the neighborhood residents' group chat. The chat was flooded with messages: some were frantically asking if there was a power outage, some were telling their wives to go out for dinner, some were irritable while playing games, and someone posted a selfie asking if they looked handsome...

The usually quiet and uneventful residents' group chat was flooded with messages.

He took his phone, walked out of his house, and found the elevator in the building still running. He went downstairs and saw a crowd of residents gathered around him.

Chu Fang nudged the next elderly woman: "Auntie, why is there no power in the neighborhood?"

"The transformer is broken," the middle-aged woman explained, glancing at Chu Fang. She let out a soft "hmm," her wrinkles deepening. "Young man, do you have a girlfriend?"

"He likes men." Before Chu Fang could speak, the security guard interrupted.

Upon hearing this, the woman was startled, looked him up and down, and finally left dejectedly.

"Grandpa, I haven't offended you lately, have I?" Chu Fang said speechlessly.

"I want to mess with you, so what?"

“... ..."
