Chapter 101 Don't Touch Him
This commotion spread for an hour in the small area downstairs from the dormitory. The initial version was that there was a basketball game tomorrow afternoon with pretty big stakes. In the end, it turned into a story about a new transfer student challenging the school bully to a game for love, with the winner getting to marry the boy.
That's absolutely outrageous.
Fortunately, No. 1 High School is a private school with much better conditions than ordinary high schools. The dormitories have four-person rooms, double rooms, and single rooms.
The room that Xiao You's father booked for him was on the corner and was more spacious than a typical single room.
Fortunately, I have my own space to be alone.
I used to think that my parents were always busy, and I was living like a left-behind child.
I now think left-behind children have quite a bit of freedom.
He receives monthly transfers via WeChat, and after checking carefully, he realized he now has savings of around 100,000 yuan.
Well, in his heart, a father who only gives money is a true father.
Then someone knocked on his door, and Wang Haomai's voice came from outside.
"Open the door, Yu-ge! Are you alright?!"
Xiao You agreed and opened the door.
After Wang Haomai came in, he comforted him: "It's okay, brothers. He'll try to touch you. I've been annoyed with him for a long time. That little bastard is all fat and trying to look muscular. It's just playing basketball. I'll give him a good beating, and he'll be begging for your dad!"
Xiao You sneered: "Heh, keep bragging. If you were that capable, you wouldn't have failed to become a class officer."
Wang Haomai grabbed his neck and pressed him down: "Try laughing at me. It's just that he took the class monitor position from me back then. He was handing out red envelopes to people everywhere to get votes. I didn't lose to him, I lost to Chairman Mao!"
Thinking of this, he remembered that Chen Qiang had also given him a red envelope, which he refused, and Chen Qiang hadn't voted for him when electing class monitor, which is why he ended up hanging out with Wang Haomai.
I despise Chen Qiang's behavior of bringing negative social influences into the class.
Over the past two years, the class has become chaotic and unruly, with students hardly behaving like students at all.
Wang Haomai walked around the large single room and said, "Your dorm room is exactly the same as when you first moved in. Why don't you buy yourself anything? You only have your school uniform and one tracksuit. The desk is covered with posters of the novels you read. Whose are these?"
He pointed to the small card on the table, picked it up, and looked at it.
Xiao You snatched it away and put it in the drawer: "Don't you know it's impolite to touch other people's things?"
"Hai, I'm just... never mind, don't argue with a grown man like me about this. Let's talk about the game, what are your plans?" Wang Haomai changed the subject when he saw that Xiao You was unhappy.
Xiao You hadn't thought about this question, since it wasn't him who invited him to play.
But the stakes are his!
It's over.
"Brother Haomai, do you know anyone who's good at basketball? This game is between Lin Huai and him, but what if he loses..."
"What if we lose?" Wang Haomai repeated.
"If I lose, Chen Qiang said he'll mess with me." Xiao You sighed.
Wang Haomai paused for a moment, then confirmed that the verb he heard was "play".
He was laughing loudly, clutching his stomach.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Xiao You kicked him, gloating.
Shouldn't we feel sorry for him at this point? I don't know what he's laughing about.
"I'm not laughing anymore, it's just that the image of Chen Qiang's appearance is too funny."
Xiao You grabbed something and said to Wang Haomai, "Save it."
That stopped the laughter.
"I remember there are only three of you guys in our class who play basketball, plus Lin Huai, that makes four. We're still short one. Why don't you try to draw one? After all, I don't know what level Lin Huai is at."
"By the way, weren't you knocked unconscious by Lin Huai's basketball that day? I saw his three-pointer, it was incredibly accurate!" Wang Haomai said.
Xiao You said, "Really? It even hit my head with a special punch. Was it intentional?"
"Maybe so. I have a feeling he's up to no good."
"You call for help first!"
The streetlights outside the dormitory were already on, and there were a few cicadas chirping in the evening.
"Damn it, I called several PE students, and none of them seem willing to come help us!! They must have heard about this game and don't dare to offend Chen Qiang!"
Xiao You had already thought of this, after all, there was really no one in the school who dared to openly oppose Chen Qiang.
"Why don't you tell the homeroom teacher? After all, it concerns your...your virginity."
...
Xiao You rolled her eyes. What the hell is chastity?
“Let’s handle this ourselves. If you take this to the teacher, it’ll be difficult for the teacher to deal with. He can’t punish Chen Qiang severely, and he can’t wrong us either. The best solution is to block his shot fair and square on the court!”
Even if you lose, it's not too late to find a teacher.
The next day was Saturday. Xiao You woke up naturally and didn't eat until almost evening.
I checked my phone; it was almost time. I scrolled through my phone.
Lin Huai was truly composed, not sending a single message or making a single phone call, while the three brothers' group chat was in a frenzy, like ants on a hot plate.
Two rows of streetlights illuminated the entire stadium, and the plastic surface had a smell of being scorched by the sun.
A white center line separated the two sides' playing fields.
When Xiao You went downstairs, the court was already crowded with people. Before she even entered the court, she could hear the sound of basketballs hitting the ground.
The players, with an average height of 190cm+, were wearing neat team uniforms, while a short, stout man stood next to them.
Xiao You wondered if he grew up eating oil, like Majin Upo from Dragon Ball.
One player dribbles the ball outside the three-point line, while another dribbles left and right in preparation for defense.
Looks incredibly professional.
Xiao You took a deep breath and searched the court for Lin Huai's shadow.
Xiao You turned on the recording early on, planning to file a formal complaint with the Discipline Inspection Commission if Chen Qiang said anything disgusting, accusing the high-ranking official's son of misbehaving at school.
Wang Haomai, Yang Zijiang, and Wang Bahang saw him, squeezed out of the crowd, and stood next to Xiao You.
The group seemed more nervous than expected.
Yang Zijiang began introducing the people present, "These are the players selected by our city for the youth training basketball team. I didn't know he would make such a big fuss and invite them all here."
Wang Bahang said, "I have a feeling he's determined to get your chrysanthemum!"
Xiao You glared at him: "Get lost."
Wang Haomai craned his neck to look around, then leaned close to Xiao You's ear and asked, "Lin Huai isn't really not coming, is he? It's almost time."
For some reason, Xiao You said with certainty, "He will come."
It will come.
No matter how powerful he is, he can't possibly defeat these people.
Besides, we're still one short of four.
Chen Qiang saw their small group and walked over smugly: "Oh, so only a few of you came? Couldn't you get anyone else?"
Wang Haomai stood at the front, blocking Chen Qiang's view by pressing his chest against him: "You're such a grown man, and you're still resorting to these underhanded tricks? Now you've even brought in people from the city basketball team. Aren't you disgusting?"
Chen Qiang remained unaffected, his eyes lewdly fixed on Xiao You behind him: "Are you scared? You only said 5v5, not which five people. Xiao You, it's better to give up now and save your energy for something else later. I watched tutorial videos all night last night, just thinking about it makes me feel great."
His last words were quite meaningful, and the underlings next to him chuckled furtively.
Xiao You clenched his fist, veins bulging on the back of his hand. He picked up the racket next to him and tapped it twice: "Stop talking nonsense, are you going to play or not?"
Seeing that he was getting more and more enthusiastic as he resisted, Chen Qiang said with a grin, "What's your hurry? Your Prince Charming hasn't even arrived yet. Do you know how badly you're going to lose? You can't wait to climb into my bed?"
His hand was about to touch Xiao You's face again.
A basketball came flying from behind and hit Chen Qiang squarely on the back of the head.
"I warned you not to touch him."
The sound was casual, but the ball hit the target with perfect accuracy.
