Chapter 13: One-on-One? Yang Xu’s Provocation!

 

It was already one in the morning, and the outside was very quiet. At such a time, hearing a woman’s cry would send chills down most people’s spines, making them think they had encountered something supernatural.

But Fang Yu knew that it was Wang Yan downstairs who was crying.

During dinner, Fang Yu had noticed the sorrow hidden in Wang Yan’s eyes. Perhaps to avoid worrying Yu Yueyue, she only dared to suppress her tears until midnight.

Clearly, Wang Yan was facing significant difficulties.

Wang Yan was a good person.

After Fang Yu moved here, Wang Yan often invited him to eat together, seeing that he was all alone. Sometimes, she would buy fruits and snacks and have Yu Yueyue deliver them to him.

Although Fang Yu was indifferent by nature, he was by no means cold-blooded. Moreover, Wang Yan was a very decent neighbor.

So, Fang Yu decided to ask Wang Yan during the day what difficulties she was facing.

…

In the morning, there was a physical education class.

The physical education class for the third year of high school was essentially a chance for the students, who had been buried in their studies, to relax and engage in free activities on the playground.

Most students would choose various ball games and running, while a few lazy ones, like Fang Yu and Liu Pangzi, would go to the convenience store to buy ice cream and sit on the benches next to the school basketball court, chatting while eating.

At the basketball court where Fang Yu and Liu Pangzi were, there were only a few people shooting hoops at first, but a large group suddenly arrived a few minutes later.

The focal point of this group was none other than Yang Xu, who had met Fang Yu the day before.

“Wow, why is Yang Xu here?” Liu Pangzi exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Yang Xu.

He then glanced at Fang Yu, recalling the rumors that had spread throughout the grade yesterday.

Yang Xu was unhappy that Fang Yu was sitting next to Tang Xiaorou and had directly confronted Fang Yu, issuing a stern warning.

Since Liu Pangzi had been sleeping at his desk when the incident occurred, he was unaware of the truth of the matter.

“Hey, Fang Yu, was what happened yesterday… true? Yang Xu, he really…” Liu Pangzi was about to ask Fang Yu.

“Ah…”

But just then, a scream erupted from the side of the basketball court.

On the court, Yang Xu had taken off his school uniform top, revealing his strong chest and abs, which made the girls present swoon.

Yang Xu was tall, well-built, handsome, academically excellent, and came from a prominent family.

Such a perfect person was undoubtedly the idol of every girl, a true prince charming.

Yang Xu picked up a basketball, dribbled, and leaped near the free-throw line, effortlessly dunking the ball.

“Wow…”

This dunk once again elicited gasps from the crowd, including the boys, who shouted in excitement.

Dunking from the free-throw line was something that even in the NBA, only a few players could achieve.

Yet Yang Xu managed to do it, and it looked so easy!

“My God, how can Yang Xu jump so high and so far?”

“Yeah, he’s even better than those NBA players!”

“Hehe, you guys don’t know… I heard that Yang Xu has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and now he seems to be a congenital… right, a congenital warrior!”

A few boys next to Fang Yu were discussing.

“A congenital warrior!?” Upon hearing this term, Liu Pangzi was so excited that the flesh on his face trembled.

He turned to Fang Yu and said, “Fang Yu, if you really have any conflict with him, you should quickly admit defeat and apologize… A congenital warrior is not someone you can mess with.”

Fang Yu smiled slightly; he had known since their meeting yesterday that Yang Xu was a fifth-tier congenital warrior, equivalent to the fifth level of Qi Refinement.

In front of Fang Yu, who was a monstrous figure at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, this level of cultivation was practically nonexistent.

However, for an ordinary person, especially someone Yang Xu’s age, it was indeed impressive.

At this moment, the crowd around Yang Xu was growing, most of whom were girls.

Every time Yang Xu made a basket, it would trigger a round of screams from the girls.

…

Tang Xiaorou was walking on the track with her good friend Zhao Shuang’er from the key class.

“Xiaorou, hurry back to our class. I’m really bored without you,” Zhao Shuang’er said, pulling Tang Xiaorou’s hand.

“I want to go back too, but the last time I applied to change classes, the head teacher rejected me and even scolded me,” Tang Xiaorou replied helplessly.

“Ah? He dared to scold you? You should tell your dad and have him call. I don’t believe that head teacher can get away with it!” Zhao Shuang’er said angrily.

Then, as if she thought of something, Zhao Shuang’er looked at Tang Xiaorou suspiciously and said, “No way… How could a mere head teacher dare to refuse your request? I think you just don’t want to change classes and are looking for an excuse to brush me off?”

“Come on, honestly… Xiaorou, do you like that Fang Yu?!”

“You! What nonsense are you talking about!” Tang Xiaorou’s face turned red as she retorted.

“Hmph, look at your nervous reaction; it seems I hit the nail on the head…” Zhao Shuang’er squinted slightly.

At that moment, they heard a series of screams coming from the basketball court nearby.

“What’s happening? Why are there so many people over there?” Tang Xiaorou changed the subject and asked.

Zhao Shuang’er looked toward the basketball court and immediately spotted Yang Xu without his shirt, her eyes lighting up. “It’s Young Master Yang playing basketball; let’s go check it out!”

Hearing Yang Xu’s name made Tang Xiaorou feel a wave of disgust, and she had no desire to go forward.

But Zhao Shuang’er dragged her toward the basketball court, and she couldn’t pull away.

…

As the crowd grew larger, Fang Yu sensed trouble approaching.

“Let’s go; it’s too noisy here,” Fang Yu patted Liu Pangzi on the shoulder and stood up.

Just then, Yang Xu suddenly walked over.

Damn, just one step too slow.

“What a coincidence, Fang Yu,” Yang Xu said with his signature sunny smile.

Not at all coincidental; Fang Yu knew that Yang Xu had come specifically for him.

“Is there something you need?” Fang Yu asked.

“Not much, just saw you sitting here looking bored and wanted to challenge you to a game,” Yang Xu replied.

Hearing Yang Xu’s words, the onlooking students became excited.

Given yesterday’s rumors, there was bound to be a good show today!

Yang Xu was clearly unhappy that Fang Yu was sitting next to Tang Xiaorou and was now going to give Fang Yu a hard time!

Fang Yu was in big trouble now!

“I don’t play basketball,” Fang Yu replied flatly.

“No way? A man who can’t even play basketball?” Yang Xu smirked mockingly.

Laughter erupted around them.

“Yang Young Master is inviting you to play; it’s a favor. I suggest you give it a shot. Besides, there are so many people watching; do you want to be a laughingstock?” a boy beside Yang Xu said.

“Yeah, don’t be a coward, go for it!”

A group of boys who loved to stir up trouble began to cheer.

The girls looked at Fang Yu with disdain; they looked down on such a timid boy.

Tang Xiaorou and Zhao Shuang’er were on the outskirts of the crowd and happened to witness 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 cause trouble for Fang Yu in front of so many people and was at a loss for what to do.

“No, I have to stop Yang Xu!”

Thinking this, Tang Xiaorou tried to push her way into the crowd.

But Zhao Shuang’er held her back and said, “Xiaorou, don’t get involved; otherwise, the rumors about you and Fang Yu will become solid. It’s better to stand here and watch the show; it’ll also let me see what your deskmate is capable of…”

Seeing Tang Xiaorou’s anxious expression, a glint of excitement flashed in Zhao Shuang’er’s eyes.

“Don’t worry; with so many people watching, Young Master Yang won’t really hit him, right?” Zhao Shuang’er added.

That’s not necessarily true.

Tang Mingde had once told Tang Xiaorou that the Yang family were all lunatics, and it was best not to provoke them.

Just as Tang Xiaorou was feeling anxious, on the basketball court, Yang Xu smiled, holding the basketball, and suddenly pushed it forward.

This sudden move could easily hit someone in the face if they were slow to react.

But Fang Yu effortlessly caught the basketball with one hand.

“Want to play a few shots?” Fang Yu asked.

Seeing Fang Yu easily block the ball, a hint of surprise flashed in Yang Xu’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

“Let’s play three shots,” Yang Xu said with a bright smile.

Fang Yu actually accepted Yang Xu’s challenge!

The atmosphere on the basketball court became exceptionally lively, with some even applauding: “What a fearless warrior!”

Tang Xiaorou was anxious, stamping her feet. “Why did he agree! Yang Xu definitely won’t let him off easily!”
