Chapter 103 If you acknowledge me as your older brother, I'll protect you.
They only managed one goal from Lin Huai, and Wang Haomai also scored one or two, but they couldn't withstand the opponent's offensive onslaught, and they trailed by ten points throughout the first half.
Lin Huai's physical exhaustion has become their biggest problem.
Yangtze River said, "Lin Huai, if you win this time, you'll be my dad!"
“Yes, yes, yes, include me too! You’re such a great dad!” Wang Bahang chimed in.
Is being a father that appealing? Does Lin Huai have the stamina to be their father?
Xiao You shook his head. He couldn't handle this kind of exertion at all. Just running back and forth on the court left him breathless. He lowered his head to rest, and his sweat glands dripped onto the ground like a tap being turned on, leaving a human-shaped outline.
Lin Huai took a towel out of his bag and covered Xiao You's head, wiping away her sweat as he said, "This cold wind can easily make you catch a cold."
Xiao You's face was covered, so her expression couldn't be seen.
"Thanks."
"Don't run around for a bit, just stand there. If the ball comes your way, just give it a little something." Lin Huai squatted down, looking up at Xiao You from under the towel.
"Believe me."
"Um."
Yang Zijiang craned his neck to see if there were any extra towels in his bag, when Lin Huai tossed him a pack of tissues.
"Use this."
Yang Zijiang was furious. Why was he being treated differently? "Lin Huai, I'm your future son! You can't treat me like this!"
Lin Huai didn't say anything. That's my future wife. Who do you think is more important?
A sharp pain made Lin Huai's face look less than pleasant, but it only lasted for a moment, and he didn't let his teammates notice.
In the first half, when I was trying to get past someone, I wasn't prepared and the opponent hit me in the stomach with his arm.
Wang Haomai said, "Be careful in a moment."
They'll only get more rampant in the second half.
The whistle blew, and in a flash, Lin Huai got the ball again. He exchanged a glance with Xiao You and immediately raised his hand to pass the ball.
The opponent who had been tricked in the first half immediately ran past Lin Huai, only to see Lin Huai jump up and put the ball into the basket.
Lin Huai jogged over to Xiao You and gave him a thumbs up.
So my role was just to make feints.
The shower gel on Lin Huai smelled really good.
This made Xiao You feel much better.
With twenty seconds left in the second half, the score was tied.
Chen Qiang's expression was grim as he stared intently at them.
He yelled like he'd lost his mind: "Go ahead, run him over, beat him up!"
Within ten seconds, everyone had gathered around.
Lin Huai is under the basket, preparing to shoot.
Three players jumped up to defend, like three walls.
Lin Huai felt a forceful push on his side, and the ball in his hand might have been angled. This wouldn't do.
Five seconds left.
"Lin Huai!" Xiao You shouted with her last bit of strength.
Lin Huai's chest was also hit hard by the big guy in front of him. In the instant he lost his balance, he dribbled the ball past the big guy and made a light throw.
Two seconds.
The ball rolled easily into the basket.
Time's up.
The basketball bounced to the ground with a thud, accompanied by cheers from the crowd.
We won!
Lin Huai fell to the ground.
My butt really hurts.
He quickly got up, using his hands to push himself up, and dusted off his bottom.
Chen Qiang looked extremely grim. He was about to leave, but Yang Zijiang and Wang Bahang blocked him at the door.
"You, the son of Director Chen, surely know the principle of accepting the consequences of a bet!"
The other students also showed disdain, having already seen that their behavior was dishonorable and that their words were not what a class monitor or a good student should say.
Xiao You went over and helped Lin Huai up, and the two staggered over to him.
He took out his phone and played the recording he had just heard.
It contained the vulgar words Chen Qiang had said to him.
“You can leave, you can stop calling me Dad, but I’ll let your dad hear what you’ve done.”
Chen Qiang looked embarrassed, and his underlings stood by, not knowing what to do. He shouted in a low voice, "Get out, all of you get out."
Lin Huai stopped them. "Don't panic. See how humble your boss is, calling me 'Dad' before you leave. And remember this: in the future, don't choose a coward who only relies on his father as your boss."
"And you," Lin Huai said, looking at the younger brother who had been rude to Xiao You earlier, "Go back and write 'Dad, I was wrong' five hundred times. Tomorrow, hand over your class to Xiao You. From now on, always carry chewing gum with you and eat it whenever you have free time."
"Brother, you are the real elder brother."
Lin Huai walked slowly to Chen Qiang's side, his tall and straight figure giving off a kingly aura as he gazed at Lesser.
"Speak louder, who is the father?"
Wang Haomai took out his phone and started recording.
Chen Qiang whispered, "Dad."
Lin Huai walked a little further away and then shouted loudly, "I didn't hear you."
Xiao You scoffed; this guy really has the nerve to be arrogant.
"Dad!!!!!!!!!!" Chen Qiang shouted, then waved to his unlucky underlings behind him: "Get out of here!"
The stadium then returned to silence.
This game made Lin Huai a household name.
The legendary story of this new transfer student is circulating on online forums and school groups.
The face of a prince, the strength of a general, the domineering presence of an emperor, and a tenderness reserved only for one person...
Lin Huai only started clutching his stomach after the game, and everyone then noticed that his lips were pale with pain.
Sure enough, it was those few who resorted to underhanded tactics.
Xiao You choked for a moment, after all, this person was standing up for her.
He let Lin Huai put his arm around his shoulder and used the towel around his neck to wipe the sweat off Lin Huai's face.
You've sweated so much, it must be really painful.
Xiao You insisted on taking Lin Huai to the school hospital, but Lin Huai refused.
"I don't like the smell of hospital disinfectant," Lin Huai said.
"And your injury..."
“I know what I'm doing, it's okay. If you feel guilty, you can make it up to me with something else.”
The three brothers started to jeer.
"Oh, oh, oh, what is it? Dad, what do you want Xiao You to do? Xiao You will do anything!"
"Yes, compensation is easy to discuss, but do you want emotional compensation or sexual compensation, Father Huai?"
Lin Huai smiled and said, "Do you remember how you cheered me on when we played basketball back then?"
Xiao You thought about what he had said back then.
Could it be that phrase, "Go, Lin Huai!"?
"From now on, you'll recognize me as your older brother, and I'll protect you," Lin Huai said.
He looked at Xiao You like that again, his eyes only seeing him and the light.
“Okay, brother,” Xiao You agreed.
"Not 'brother,' but 'older brother,'" Lin Huai emphasized again.
"Brother" sounds much more intimate than "older brother".
Wang Haomai was the first to object, "Then Lin Huai's father, now that you have a younger brother, does that mean we have to call him uncle too? We can't mess up the generational hierarchy!"
Several people lay down on the field, the last rays of the setting sun shining on their faces, and laughter filled the entire playground.
Lin Huai refused Xiao You's request to take him home. Instead, he took Xiao You back to her dorm first, and then turned and left.
Lin Huai arrived home around 8 p.m., and his mother was tidying up.
Hearing him open the door, she turned around and asked, "Working so late on the weekend?"
"I went to play ball," Lin Huai replied.
Mom said "Oh," and then asked excitedly, "Was a pretty little girl bringing you water and gas?"
No, but the classmate he plays basketball with is very pretty.
Lin Huai took off his sports jacket and only said the first two words.
Back in his room, he took out his phone and saw the message Xiao You had sent on WeChat.
"Thank you, brother."
He had a faint smile in his eyes. "You're welcome. Protecting you is what I should do."
Back in her dorm, Xiao You felt that some things still needed to be resolved thoroughly. If Chen Qiang wasn't dealt with completely, he would never be able to turn things around and would continue to cause trouble at school.
He retaliated by submitting a report, including him and his father in an anonymous letter, which was sent to the mayor's hotline.
Then, the report was also filed with the Basketball Association regarding the actions of the players from the municipal team who came out to play for Chen Qiang, including accepting money to play, violating court rules, and intentionally injuring people.
