Chapter 58: The Bow Tie on the Basketball Court

  058……

  In the quiet corridor, only the sound of reading could be heard. Lu Xiansheng and Chen Zhiquan stood on either side of the bathroom door, their heads bowed as if blocking outsiders from entering, yet also seeming to protect the safety of those inside.

  After a splash of water, Li Luo'er slowly pulled out the "long skirt" and Shen Xiao Xuan hurriedly supported her. The two were very close together, afraid that others would notice the unusual situation under this fake skirt.

  When Li Luo'er saw Lu Xiansheng and Chen Zhiquan, the two big boys still guarding the door, she suddenly blushed and lowered her head to pass through them, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to drill into.

  Looking at her awkward appearance, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but laugh, but he still understood that such things were somewhat difficult to mention, especially when facing a boy.

  "Slow down..." Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but shout, and with that, the entire corridor echoed with this low and magnetic voice.

  Li Lu'er turned back to look at him, but pulled Shen Xiao-xuan and walked even faster, saying: "This time we've really lost face!"

  "It's actually happened, and Lù Xuàn Shèng even contributed his jacket to protect you, wearing only a vest and roaming around the school. By the way, the school doesn't allow boys to dress like that. For you, he's willing to do anything. I think... you're really unable to repay him, so just marry him! Haha..." Shen Xiao Xuan's laughter was like a silver bell ringing in Lí Luò ér's ears, making her heart flutter with anxiety.

  Li Luo'er lowered her head and didn't speak, fiercely shaking off Shen Xiaoxuan's hand. She returned to the playground again, still by the basketball court, but this time she was standing instead of sitting.

  "Don't you think it's strange like this? The Kanji characters are all mixed up and don't make sense. Is this some kind of code or puzzle?"

  "Mind your own business!" Lei Luo'er turned her head and glared at him fiercely.

  Chen Zhiquan was exceptionally delighted listening to the two of them bickering, watching Lu Xiangsheng occasionally making funny faces and with a hint of mockery.

  It's best to know that women are creatures whose emotions change instantly and repeatedly, so it's better not to provoke them.

  Lu Xuan Sheng shrugged and stood under the sun quietly accompanying them as they watched basketball.

  "Xuan Sheng, can you play basketball?" Shen Xiao Xuan asked with a smile.

  "Okay." Lu Xiangsheng said, after all, basketball was his favorite sport, but after learning sanda, he had little time to participate, let alone the past two years, his grandfather's health wasn't good, so he'd rather spend more time accompanying his grandfather.

  Grandpa? This familiar term of endearment, it's been a long time since I've heard it. I wonder if this time's running away from home will make him angry again. Now... it's already been over two months since I left home...

  Since he was a child, only his grandfather doted on him. Even when working in the office, he would put him on his lap and tease him from time to time.

  Lu Xuan Sheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

  Should I give Grandpa a call to let him know everything is alright?

  "What are you thinking about? Xiaoxuan has been talking to you for so long and you haven't even made a sound!" There was some puzzlement in Lier's words.

  "Uh... want to play basketball?" Lu Xiansheng glanced at his watch, there were still 20 minutes before the next class, should be enough time for a game. "Want to join us, Zhiquan?"

  Chen Zhiquan jumped up excitedly, patted the dirt off his butt, took off his t-shirt and stuffed it into Xuan's arms before starting to stretch his muscles. "Let's go, let's meet Wu Jian! Who knows, maybe we can even take down that sports committee member!"

  Lu Xuan Sheng smiled wryly and shook his head, not wanting to crush his enthusiasm.

  "Wu Jian, I'm here!" Chen Zhiquan exclaimed excitedly.

  "Let's play!" Wu Jian threw the basketball directly at Chen Zhiquan.

  Chen Zhiquan jumped up and caught the basketball, turned around to look at Lu Xiansheng who was expressionless behind him, and directly passed the ball to him, "Be more positive, monster!"

  Lu Xiansheng glanced at the basketball in his hand, and suddenly all the meridians in his body jumped with it. However, he still pretended to be careless and slowly dribbled the ball to the front court, standing on the 3-point line for a direct shot, and the ball went in...

  The people on the basketball court were taken aback at first, then hurried back to defend quickly.

  Wu Jian grabbed the ball, but was blocked by Chen Zhiyuan's left and right blocks, and missed a 2-pointer.

  Lu Xiansheng jumped up again to receive the ball and rushed to the front court, leaning 45° to his left for another three-pointer.

  Wu Jian's face was filled with helplessness, a black line clearly etched on his face, as he opened his arms to block Lu Xiangsheng in front of him.

  Lu Xiansheng didn't want to entangle with him anymore, so he jumped up and passed the ball to Chen Zhiquan. Unfortunately, Chen Zhiquan was too ambitious, missing a 3-pointer and losing the ball.

  Watching Wu Jian bring the ball to the front court, Lu Xiang quickly chased after him and swiftly retrieved the ball, bringing it back to the front court.

  This is good, Wu Jian and the remaining four people stood in front of Lu Xiansheng together, they had to use all their strength to intercept this ball. Lu Xiansheng frowned, looking at Chen Zhiquan who was too far away from him, he couldn't count on him either.

  Lu Xuan Sheng bent his waist, the basketball under his hands moving back and forth, left and right, ceaselessly slapping. His eyes occasionally glanced at each person on the opposite side, searching for an opportunity to "break through".

  He suddenly accelerated his pace, turning left and right, breaking through two layers of defense, arriving under the basket, making a tiger jump, turning around to shoot, the ball falling into the hoop with precision.

  Looking at the basketball court that is different from usual, it's exceptionally lively today. More and more classmates are gathering to watch, but even more are Lu Xiangsheng's fans. As long as Lu Xiangsheng scores a basket, they cheer and scream...

  There are still 3 minutes before the end of class. According to usual habits, at the last 2 minutes, the teacher will take roll call and gather everyone. This also means that this basketball game only has 1 minute left, 60 seconds.

  The current score is 27 to 29, Wu Jian's five-man unit has the advantage, 2 points higher than Lu Xiangsheng and Chen Zhiquan, who are only a two-man team.

  Chen Zhiquan was already a bit physically exhausted, but feeling the encouragement of the elementary school girls around him, he still insisted on persevering to the end.

  Lu Xiansheng slowed down his breathing, snatched the ball that Wu Jian was throwing in mid-air, and drove to the front court with crazy dribbling, still at a 45-degree angle on the left side, making an emergency stop jump shot...

  The ball was seen flying through the air in a perfect arc, accompanied by the countdown of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... The whole world seemed to have quieted down.

  The ball is in!

  In an instant, the entire stadium was boiling, with screams and cheers echoing through the sky.

  Lu Xuan Sheng hooked his lips into a smile, using his index finger to wipe away the beads of sweat that had accumulated on his bangs. His eyes scanned the guest seats until they landed on Li Luo Er, at which point he stopped looking around.

  "Is your idol Mai Di?" Wu Jian slapped Lu Xiangsheng's shoulder and asked panting.

  "Hmm!" Lu Xiangsheng nodded, in his heart, Mai Di was a legend!

  Listening to the screams of the audience, all centered around Lu Xiansheng's three words, Chen Zhiquan couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He leaned back, stretched out on the basketball court in a big character, closed his eyes, and savored the beauty of sweat and sunshine.

  Lu Xiansheng walked slowly towards the guest seat with Wu Jian, only to see that all the little girls were about to go crazy.

  "Wow, Lu Xiansheng... is actually smiling, is he smiling at me?"

  "My goodness... how can someone be so perfect and also be so good at basketball!"

  "That's the boy who jumped off the building..."

  "Lu Xiansheng, look over here...... Wow, muscles are so cool......"

  "How can someone be so handsome that even walking is dazzling... Look at him, his legs are so long!"

  "Wow! The new school heartthrob isn't him......"

  "I think I won't love Li Minghao anymore in the future, but still come and love him..."

  "Senior, do you have a girlfriend..."

  Listening to all the girls around her going crazy, Lí Luòér suddenly felt like her head was going to explode, and she pulled Xiǎo Xuān to try to sneak away.

  Staying here is tantamount to waiting for death. Judging from the looks of it, Lu Xiangsheng seems to be enjoying himself, but if he were to come over... No way! If he really comes over... we'll end up dying a terrible death! We'll become the public enemy of all the girls in school!

  It's better to offend a mean person than to offend a woman in this world!

  Li Luoluo looked at the "long skirt" on her body and couldn't help but worry, if this group of flower enthusiasts around her saw that she was wearing Lu Xiansheng's undershirt, wouldn't they tear her apart?

  Suddenly a chill wind blew from behind, and Li Luo couldn't help but shudder, as if many pairs of eyes were staring straight at her, making all the goosebumps on her body fall to the ground.

  "Come on, class is over, what are you still standing there for! Hurry up!" Shen Xiaoxuan bit her lip and whispered to Li Lu'er, but no matter how many times she pulled her, she couldn't wake her up. What was this girl thinking about?

  "Ah?" Lí Luòér snapped back to reality and quickly turned around to follow Xiao Xuan as they walked backwards.

  Lu Xiansheng looked at them and said, "What's going on here?"

  A sudden commotion around me...

  Li Luoer and Shen Xiaoxuan hung their heads in unison, waiting for the death god's verdict.

  "Come on, one minute left before class is over, Wu Jian said the teacher won't come!" Lu Xiangsheng shouted at them.

  "Oh!" Li Luoer and Shen Xiaoxuan's heads almost buried into their necks, they took small steps forward.

  "Wait!" Lu Xian Sheng shouted loudly, but why did this voice still sound so gentlemanly.

  Damn it, what is this supposed to be? Lí Luòér was on the verge of collapse. Doesn't Lù Xiǎngshèng, that monster, know the school's unwritten rules?

  Li Luo obediently stood in place, without turning back or turning around.

  Only to see Lu Xuan Sheng walking forward in big strides, standing in front of Li Luo Er, crouching down...

  What is he going to do? Lí Luòér simply didn't dare open her eyes.

  Lu Xiansheng patted the dirt off her shoes and, with a few quick flicks of his wrist, tied a beautiful bow.

  "Alright, let's go!" Lu Xuan Sheng still smiled, like the warm and gentle sunshine.

  Li Luo'er looked at the bow on her left foot and hated that she couldn't cut the shoelace into millions of pieces right now.

  Why is it like this! In broad daylight, this can be fatal!

  Shen Xiaoxuan pulled Li Lu'er forward, while Lu Xiangsheng followed closely behind them, still maintaining a distance of three steps.

  Not far from walking away, I heard a voice full of resentment again...

  "Who is that? How can this be..."

  "The senior actually helped her tie her shoelaces..."

  "Waaaah, I don't want to live anymore... That girl isn't even as good-looking as me..."

  Li Lu'er's face turned black with anger, and she wished she could turn around and strangle Lu Xiangsheng to death right now!
