Chapter 13: Yang Xu came to provoke.
It was already one o'clock in the morning, and it was very quiet outside. Hearing a woman's crying at this time, most people would surely feel creepy and think they had encountered a supernatural event.
But Fang Yu knew that it was Wang Yan downstairs who was crying.
During dinner, Fang Yu had noticed the hidden worry in Wang Yan's eyes. Perhaps to avoid worrying Yu Yueyue, she dared to cry only in the middle of the night, suppressing her sobs.
Obviously, Wang Yan was facing a great difficulty.
Wang Yan was a kind - hearted person.
After Fang Yu moved here, seeing that he was alone, Wang Yan often invited him to have meals together. Sometimes, when she bought fruits, snacks, etc., she would ask Yu Yueyue to send them to Fang Yu.
Although Fang Yu had an indifferent temperament, he was by no means cold - blooded. Besides, Wang Yan was a really nice neighbor.
So, Fang Yu decided to ask Wang Yan what difficulties she was facing during the day.
...
In the morning, there was a PE class.
The PE class for senior three students was actually to let the whole senior three students, who had been buried in study, relax a bit and let them move freely on the playground.
Most students would choose various ball games and running, while a few lazy ones, like Fang Yu and Fatty Liu, would go to the convenience store to buy an ice - cream, then sit on the chairs beside the school basketball court, chatting while eating the ice - cream.
There were only a few people shooting hoops on the basketball court where Fang Yu and Fatty Liu were. But a few minutes later, someone suddenly came.
It was Yang Xu, whom Fang Yu had met yesterday.
"Damn, isn't this Young Master Yang? What is he doing in our school?" Fatty Liu couldn't help but exclaim when he saw Yang Xu.
Then, he glanced at Fang Yu beside him and remembered the rumors that had spread throughout the grade yesterday.
Yang Xu was very unhappy about Fang Yu being at the same desk as Tang Xiaorou and directly came to Fang Yu to warn him.
Since Fatty Liu was sleeping on the table when the incident happened, he didn't know whether the rumors were true or not.
"Hey, Fang Yu, about what happened yesterday... Is it true? Is he really Young Master Yang? Did he really..." Fatty Liu was about to ask Fang Yu.
"Ah..."
Just then, a burst of screams erupted from the side of the basketball court.
On the basketball court, Yang Xu actually took off his shirt directly, revealing his strong pectoral and abdominal muscles.
The girls present immediately let out screams.
Yang Xu was tall, muscular, handsome, and came from an influential family.
Such a perfect person had spread rapidly on campus just after making an appearance yesterday.
Undoubtedly, he had become the male god in the hearts of every girl, a real - life Prince Charming.
Many girls had long wanted to see this legendary handsome guy in person. Now that they not only saw him in the flesh but also witnessed such an exciting scene, they couldn't contain their excitement.
Yang Xu directly picked up the basketball beside the court, dribbled it while jogging, leaped near the free - throw line, and easily dunked the ball.
"Wow..."
This dunk once again triggered an exclamation from the whole audience, including the boys.
Taking off from near the free - throw line to dunk the ball, even in the NBA, not many players could do it.
But Yang Xu could do it, and he seemed to do it with ease!
"My god, he can jump so high and so far?"
"Yeah, he's even more awesome than those NBA players!"
"Ha - ha, you guys don't know... Yang Xu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and was sent for special training. Now he's some kind of Xiantian... right, Xiantian Martial Artist!"
Several boys beside Fang Yu were discussing.
"Xiantian Martial Artist!?" Hearing this term, the flesh on Fatty Liu's face trembled with excitement.
He turned to Fang Yu and said, "Fang Yu, if you really have any conflict with him, you'd better admit your fault and apologize quickly... Xiantian Martial Artists are really not to be messed with."
Fang Yu smiled slightly. When they met yesterday, he already knew that Yang Xu was a fifth - stage Xiantian Martial Artist, equivalent to the fifth level of the Qi - refining stage.
In front of an old monster like Fang Yu, who was at the 9,832nd level of the Qi - refining stage, this level of cultivation was practically non - existent.
However, for ordinary people, especially at Yang Xu's age, it was indeed quite impressive.
At this time, more and more people were gathering around to watch Yang Xu, most of them girls.
Every time Yang Xu scored a goal, it would trigger a burst of screams from these girls.
...
Tang Xiaorou was walking on the track with her good friend Zhao Shuang'er from the key class.
"Xiaorou, you should transfer back to our class quickly. I'm so bored without you." Zhao Shuang'er held Tang Xiaorou's hand and said.
"I also want to transfer back, but when I applied for the class transfer last time, the dean refused me and even criticized me." Tang Xiaorou said helplessly.
"What? He dared to criticize you? Go home and tell your dad, and ask your dad to call. I don't believe this dean can get away with it!" Zhao Shuang'er said angrily.
Then, as if thinking of something, Zhao Shuang'er looked at Tang Xiaorou suspiciously and said, "Impossible... How could a mere dean dare to reject your request? I think you just don't want to transfer classes and are deliberately making up an excuse to perfunctory me?"
"Tell me the truth... Xiaorou, do you really think that Fang Yu is not bad?!"
"You! What are you talking nonsense about!" Tang Xiaorou's face turned red as she retorted.
"Hmm - hmm, look at your nervous reaction. It seems I've hit the mark..." Zhao Shuang'er slightly narrowed her eyes and said.
At this time, they heard bursts of screams from the nearby basketball court.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people over there?" Tang Xiaorou changed the subject and asked.
Zhao Shuang'er looked towards the basketball court and immediately her eyes lit up when she saw Yang Xu. She said, "It seems to be Young Master Yang! Didn't he come to look for you yesterday? Why is he playing basketball here today? Come on, let's go and take a look!"
Hearing the name Yang Xu, Tang Xiaorou felt a wave of disgust in her heart and didn't want to go over at all.
But Zhao Shuang'er forcefully pulled her towards the basketball court, and she couldn't break free.
...
As more and more people gathered around, Fang Yu sensed the approaching trouble.
"Let's go. It's too noisy here." Fang Yu patted Fatty Liu on the shoulder and stood up.
But just then, Yang Xu suddenly walked over.
Damn it, a step too slow.
"What a coincidence, Fang Yu." A signature sunny smile was on Yang Xu's face.
He said this on purpose. He had come all the way here just to block Fang Yu.
Of course, Fang Yu knew it wasn't a coincidence at all. Yang Xu had come specifically for him.
"What do you want?" Fang Yu asked.
"Nothing much. I just saw you sitting here looking so bored, so I thought I'd have a basketball game with you." Yang Xu said.
Hearing Yang Xu's words, the surrounding students got excited.
Combined with yesterday's rumors, there was going to be a good show today!
Yang Xu was clearly going to teach Fang Yu a lesson. Fang Yu was in big trouble now!
"I don't know how to play basketball." Fang Yu replied indifferently.
"Really? A man who can't play basketball?" A sarcastic smile curled up at the corner of Yang Xu's mouth.
A burst of laughter rang out around them.
"Young Master Yang is inviting you to play. It's an honor for you. I suggest you play. Besides, there are so many people watching. Do you want to be a laughingstock by being so cowardly?" A boy beside Yang Xu said.
"That's right. Don't be a coward. Go ahead!"
A group of boys who liked to watch the excitement started to egg them on.
The girls, on the other hand, looked at Fang Yu with disdain. They looked down on such a timid boy.
Tang Xiaorou and Zhao Shuang'er walked to the outer edge of the crowd and happened to see this scene.
"Oh, Xiaorou, it seems your deskmate is in trouble." Zhao Shuang'er said with a smile.
Tang Xiaorou didn't expect Yang Xu to come to school again and cause trouble for Fang Yu in front of so many people. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
"No, I have to stop Yang Xu!"
Thinking this way, Tang Xiaorou wanted to squeeze into the crowd.
But Zhao Shuang'er held her back and said, "Xiaorou, don't get involved. Otherwise, the rumor that you have a relationship with Fang Yu will be confirmed. It's better to stand here and watch the show. This way, I can also see what your deskmate is capable of..."
Seeing Tang Xiaorou's anxious expression, a strange light flashed in Zhao Shuang'er's eyes.
"Don't worry. With so many people watching, Young Master Yang won't do anything excessive." Zhao Shuang'er added.
That's not necessarily true.
Tang Mingde had once told Tang Xiaorou that the people of the Yang family were all crazy and it was best to avoid provoking them.
Just as Tang Xiaorou was extremely anxious, on the basketball court, with a smile on his face, Yang Xu suddenly pushed the basketball forward in his hand.
Such a sudden move, if one reacted a little slower, would surely be hit in the face by the basketball.
But Fang Yu easily caught the basketball with one hand.
"How many rounds?" Fang Yu asked.
Seeing that Fang Yu easily blocked this ball, a flash of surprise appeared in Yang Xu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Three rounds." Yang Xu said with a bright smile.
Fang Yu actually accepted Yang Xu's one - on - one challenge!
The atmosphere on the basketball court was extremely heated, and some people even clapped their hands and said, "What a fearless hero!"
Tang Xiaorou stomped her feet in a hurry, "Why did he agree? Yang Xu surely won't let him off easily!"
