Lu Yumo had been protected from violence by his family since he was young. Right now, not only was he pushed to the ground by Gou Qi with bad intentions, but he also had thrown himself onto him.
A clear âcrackâ sounded in the gymnasium.
Fu Zhi hastily came down from the audience seat.
At the same time, Chen Shan passed the ball to his teammate, and while Lu Yubai and the others rushed to Lu Yumo, Hang Yuan made a basket.
No.1 High School: 28 points, Hang Yuan: 3 points.
âF*ck!â Song Fang helped Lu Yumo get up from the floor, and his face was livid with rage and disbelief as he looked at Hang Yuan.
The cheerleading team of No.1 High School bristled with indignation for the thing that had just transpired. They quickly turned to the referee and shouted, âArenât you going to call that a foul? The No.6 from their team just pushed one of our players to the floor!â
âYeah! Canât you see how far they have pushed him?â
âAre you blind? Do you know how to be a referee? One of our players fell to the floor, and youâre not going to blow the whistle and halt the match?â
Most of the students from No.1 High School only saw Gou Qi push Lu Yumo to the floor. They did not see Chen Shan hit Lu Yumo, but they were still discontented with the refereeâs behavior.
The referee blew the whistle and announced, âIt isnât a foul. Hang Yuan didnât break the rules. The game continues, and I hope everyone can watch the game in a civilized manner.â
âD*mn it! You f*cker!â Song Fang growled as he rolled his sleeves up, his eyes red with anger. Just when he was about to go forward and get revenge on Chen Shan, Lu Yumo stopped him. âNo! The game hasnât finished yet!â
Seeing his attitude, the referee gave him a yellow card.
The students from No.1 High School were angry, but there was nothing they could do. The coach called a halt to the match.
Lu Yumo was carried off the field by Lu Yubai and Ye Jiu.
Zhou Zihuai asked him, âHow do you feel? Do you feel pain anywhere?â
Lu Yumo pointed at the joint in his left hand. His wrist was red and swollen, and everyone could see that his wrist was dislocated.
The school doctor went up to him. After some examination, he said, âHe needs to go to the hospital.â
Lu Yumo asked, âWill they give me an anesthetic?â
The doctor replied, âWhy would you need an anesthetic? Youâre not going for surgery.â
Lu Yumo wrapped his arms around himself and continued in a trembling voice, âThen, Iâm not going to the hospital. Iâm just a little boy and I canât stand even the slightest pain. Also, youâre ugly, so can you please put on a mask when youâre talking to me?â
The doctor was speechless. If it were not because Lu Yumo to be part of the basketball team, he would have slapped this spoiled brat in front of him already.
When Fu Zhi arrived, the first thing she saw was Lu Yumoâs hand behind his back.
She let out a sigh, lifted her hand, and went up to him.
Lu Yumo nearly cried when he saw his sister. He brought his arm out from his back and said in a nasal voice, âZhizhi, give me a hug...â
âCrack!â
âOWW!!!â
The cracking sound of the bones popping back into place rang out in unison along with Lu Yimoâs wail.
He looked disbelievingly at Fu Zhi and said, âYou have changed. You donât love me anymore. Why are you doing this to me?â
Then, before Fu Zhi said anything, Wang Yu chimed in, âLet me replace Yumo! I can do it!â
Lu Yumo turned to him and said, âYouâre not familiar with the small forward position. Iâm fine. Iââ
âShut up!â Song Fang snarled, staring at Lu Yumo, âThose b*stards. They started playing dirty as soon as they fell behind. If you go back to the field again, youâre just going to be a moving target for them!â
âThen who is going to play if I donât?â
Song Fang had no idea as well. He looked around at the other players sitting on the bench. All of them had not played with Ye Jiu before, and their basketball skills were even worse than Lu Yumo.
The only person that was slightly better was Wang Yu.
Song Fang had no other options anymore, so he said, âWang Yu! Youâre up next!â
Wang Yuâs eyes lit up and he hastily said, âI grew up dreaming that I could become a great basketball player like Michael Jordan since I was a child. I swear to God that I will not let you all down. Chen Shan is nothing but a good-for-nothing brat that canât even play basketball nicely. Iâm not afraid of him at all!â
However...
Wang Yu looked again at the basketball players from Hang Yuan. All of them were tall and had athletic figures with lean muscles covering their bodies. He chickened out and said, âThat said, what if all 5 of them gang on me? Iâm just a little boy who doesnât even know how to deliver a punch. There are 3 things that are unfilial, and to have no posterity is the greatest of them. I havenât got a son to carry on my family name yet...â
The crowd did not know what to say.
âThatâs it. Another ball-less person.â
Fu Zhi looked at Hang Yuan and said, âIâll do it.â
âDonât you even think about it, dud. Letâs Wang Yu do it. You guys are even weaker than him, and...â
Song Fang suddenly came to an abrupt stop. He blinked a few times, and he realized something was not right about the voice.
He jerked his head back, and Fu Zhi, who was standing not far away from him, repeated, âI will do it.â
âDo what? Do you want to do me? No, no, thatâs not what I mean...â
Song Fang did not know what he was talking about. âWhat I mean is, is your âIâll do itâ the same as the âIâll do itâ in my mind?â
âHmm,â Fu Zhi thought for a while and replied, âI mean I will replace my brother to play on the field.â
Rubbing his face, Song Fang said, âAm I hallucinating? Sister Zhi, you know how to play basketball?â
âYeah.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Fu Zhi had been playing basketball with Ye Jiu and her other brothers since she was young, so she knew the rules of the game.
Ye Jiu was fully aware of her ability, so he just nodded.
Wang Yu, on the other hand, felt that it was not suitable for a girl to play with a large group of boys. Therefore, he said, âHow about let me do it?â
âItâs fine. We donât wish to become obstacles for you to have a son to carry on your family name.â
Wang Yu was speechless.
When Ma Mingquan heard what Fu Zhi had said, he asked, âAre you sure about it? Itâs fine if we lost the game. Besides, I think four of them fare pretty well.â
âNope,â Fu Zhi said, âIf weâre going in, weâre going in as five. After all, the more people the merrier.â
Ma Mingquan was dumbfounded. He had no idea why but he seemed to have a feeling that Fu Zhi was talking about other things.
Fu Zhi threw her bag at Lu Yumo. She was wearing a long dress, and it was not a good outfit to play basketball. Besides, she did not want to wear other peopleâs uniforms as well. In the end, she looked at Lu Yumo.
As if he knew what she wanted, Lu Yumo said decisively, âI, Lu Yumo, would rather jump out of the window than wear your skirt!â
Lu Yumo wrapped himself up with his arms and continued, âStop looking at me like that! If you donât stop it, I will scream!â
Fu Zhi grabbed his wrist and said, âBut brother, I donât want to wear other peopleâs uniform.â
Lu Yumo was stumped.
*
Fu Zhi was wearing a pink long dress that was bedazzled with many pink rhinestones. It looked like a dress that only a princess would wear, and not everyone would look good in it.
Well, that was what Su Xing thought until she saw Lu Yumo come out of the dressing room.
The face of the young man was pale because he was hit in the stomach by Chen Shan. As such, he was walking very slowly, and on top of that, he was wearing a big sun hat to cover his face.
Wang Yu shouted, âOh my, look! A pretty lady!â
Lu Yumo became speechless.
He had not been in a good mood after being beaten by Hang Yuanâs team and had to put on Fu Zhiâs dress. Wang Yuâs comment on him was the last straw, and he finally snapped. He rolled his sleeve up, tugged at Fu Zhi, and said, âHeâs laughing at me, Zhizhi! Hurry up and help me to beat him!â
