April 25th, Saturday morning.

The exciting basketball semifinals are about to begin.

At 8:30 in the morning, there was a competition between Class 1 and Class 12.

However, students from other classes can also go downstairs to watch the game if they are interested.

The competition of Class 8 was at ten o'clock in the morning, but Li Luo and others still came downstairs early, intending to see the strength of Class 1 and Class 12 and observe the final opponents in advance.

By the time they reached the semi-finals, the basketball teams of the four classes were all quite strong, and their confrontational nature was even more exciting.

In the first class, there are two attackers, Liu Shaowen and Xie Shuchen. The attacking rhythm is very good and the cooperation is also tacit.

Paired with Jian Zhenyuan in the inner circle, a solid triangle was formed, and both offense and defense were well done.

Once the offense is difficult, defender Liao Hailin will always appear suddenly in some unexpected places, making unexpected moves, making it difficult for people to guard against.

As for Class 12, the five people were relatively evenly matched in strength, but they worked well together and were able to withstand the fight, and the scores were tight.

Unfortunately, they were defeated by Class 1 in the end, losing by six points 58-52.

This time, many students from Class 1 came downstairs to watch the game. After seeing that their team won, there was a burst of applause and cheers outside the stadium.

After seeing Ying Chanxi applauding, Liu Shaowen and Xie Shuchen wiped the sweat from their faces. They felt that this hour of hard work was still very meaningful, and they both showed happy smiles on their faces.

"I feel like the first class is a bit fierce." Zhu Yufei said, rubbing his head on the sidelines, "It's quite comprehensive. It doesn't have any shortcomings. It's not easy to target."

"It doesn't matter, you can't meet Class One anyway." Lu Wei's voice came from behind, and he smiled arrogantly at them, "You are discussing the strength of Class One here, I almost thought we were finished, but in the end

The fight hasn’t started yet.”

"I advise you to keep your word up." Zhu Yufei rolled his eyes at him, "Just don't cry if you lose too ugly in a while."

"Humph." Lu Wei laughed and pointed at Li Luo, "It would be great if you don't let your squad leader be beaten to tears."

"Is there something wrong with this person?" Zhang Guohuang complained immediately as he looked at Lu Wei walking away.

"It's okay, don't worry about him." Li Luo shook his head and laughed, "It'll be the same for a while. You just play the first two quarters, as long as your scores don't get too wide. I'll do the last two quarters."

"Okay." Zhu Yufei nodded, expressing understanding.

After the game between Class 1 and Class 12, Class 12 was in no mood to stay because they lost the game, so they went back to the classroom one after another.

The top students in Class 1 also returned to the classroom one after another. After all, the midterm exam is next week, and they did not intend to waste time here anymore.

Only Liu Shaowen and the others stayed, intending to see the strength of their opponents in the final.

At this time, Ying Chanxi also walked up to Li Luo and raised his fist towards him: "Come on, try to win Class 7."

"If we win Class 7, wouldn't we have to compete with Class 1 in the finals?" Li Luo joked with a smile, "Who will you support then?"

"Then we must support our own class." Ying Chanxi said without hesitation when he saw the members of his own class's basketball team coming behind him.

But she secretly thought that supporting Yiban would not conflict with supporting Li Luo.

I just support Li Luo, not Class 8.

Thinking of this, Ying Chanxi became more confident. Liu Shaowen and Xie Shuchen who were listening behind him were very moved, and felt that the difficult victory just now was worth it.

I am looking forward to the finals even more.

“Come on, Li Luo!”

Get down here."

"I'll try my best." Li Luo smiled and said hello to Liu Shaowen, Jian Zhenyuan and the others.

Not only is he a good basketball player, but he can also play guitar and sing. As the monitor of Class 8, he is also ranked among the top 40 in the school.

Therefore, even the top students in Class 1 did not dare to look down on him.

What's more, in the eyes of his classmates, Li Luo is the cousin of their class monitor.

With all these buffs added together, when Liao Hailin and the others saw Li Luo, they even lowered their heads unconsciously.

Just thinking about an overly outstanding boy like Li Luo makes people feel out of reach.

Even just walking in school, Li Luo can now occasionally attract the attention of some passing girls.

Even when some girls who were close to each other were chatting together, when they saw Li Luo passing by, they teased and became jealous of each other. They all shouted "my husband" in a low voice, "no, it's my husband", "you are so shameless, it's obviously..."

My husband".

Although it was just a private joke and no one would take it seriously, it also shows how popular Li Luo is in the school.

For example, in today's match between Class 8 and Class 7, many girls from other classes who had nothing to do came downstairs together, specifically to see Li Luo's performance, and also to see the other boys playing handsomely.

For example, Zhu Yufei from Class 8 is a standard handsome sports guy, but he is usually a bit funny.

Another example is Fang Chen, who is also quite handsome, but a little more delicate than Zhu Yufei.

Lin Yuan is actually not ugly, just a little shorter.

In comparison, Zhang Guohuang is a little bit awkward, because his facial features look very much like that of a monkey, so people occasionally jokingly call him Brother Monkey.

Hmm...this kid is also the source of gossip in Class 8.

Basically, you can get first-hand information from him about any gossip that happens in Attached No. 1 Middle School.

Li Luo often learned some school gossip from him, which teacher was pregnant, boys in which class were fighting, who was in love with whom, and was secretly seen pouting on the playground... in short, basically the same thing

Everybody can find out.

"Classes 7 and 8, come here and sign in." The physical education teacher walked to the sidelines, holding the personnel form in his hand, and shouted to the people in the two classes.

Zhu Yufei and Lu Wei walked over, followed by the rest of the two squads, looking full of gunpowder.

As the president of the student union, Xu Youyu brought people from the student union to organize the scene. He also strolled over to Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng and watched the game with them.

The three girls formed a beautiful scenery on the sidelines, which immediately attracted the attention of many boys.

Originally, they were just bored and didn't want to study in the classroom, so they wandered down to watch the game.

I didn't expect to see such beautiful scenery, and I immediately felt that it was worth the trip.

"Aren't you going to play?"

As soon as ten o'clock arrived, under the whistle of the physical education teacher, Zhu Yufei and the other five walked onto the basketball court.

Xu Youyu glanced at Li Luo, who was resting peacefully on the bench, and couldn't help asking strangely.

"The trump card always comes on stage in the finale." Li Luo said shamelessly.

"Hey." Xu Youyu curled his lips, "I originally came to see you play, but now I can't see you?"

"Don't worry." Li Luo said slowly, "I'll let you watch it in three or four sections in a while."

Li Luo said it easily, but the situation on the court was very anxious.

The cooperation between Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang was also very good, but they couldn't hold off Lu Wei, who was so powerful and fierce.

The other members of Class 7 were not novices, and they cooperated with Lu Wei in attacking, and the fight with Class 8 was in full swing.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between Class 7 and Class 8 was 14-10, with Class 7 leading by four points.

When there was a short break at the end of the game, Lu Wei walked over to Li Luo and smiled at him: "What? Are you too scared to play?"

Ying Chanxi and others frowned when they heard this, but Li Luo just yawned and didn't bother to pay attention.

Xu Youyu next to him covered his mouth and chuckled: "It's so childish that it makes people laugh, just like a wild dog in heat on the roadside."

When Lu Wei heard what Xu Youyu said, he immediately opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "Who are you? Can you speak?"

"It's okay if you spit shit all over your mouth. If you dare to stir up trouble, I'll have to ask the PE teacher to send you off." Xu Youyu narrowed his eyes and warned in a cold voice.

At this time, Gao Yuqin quickly walked to Lu Wei and whispered something in his ear. Lu Wei's expression changed, and then he left angrily, not daring to talk back to Xu Youyu again.

"Wow~" Li Luo joked with a smile, "Senior sister is mighty."

Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, crossed his arms and said, "Sometimes you have a too good temper, how can you get used to this kind of person?"

Li Luo spread his hands: "I just don't want to waste my emotions."

Although Xu Youyu is usually open, cheerful and enthusiastic, he is actually very strong in some things, otherwise he would not be able to fulfill his position as President of the Student Union.

Especially for people like Lu Wei, he would not be polite at all.

But Li Luo is a little different.

If in the previous life, I had met someone like Lu Wei, and my temper had risen, maybe I would have greeted him with my fists.

But since he came back from rebirth, Li Luo felt that he couldn't get much anger towards people and things like this.

It's like standing in a higher position, overlooking the other party barking underground, just thinking it's funny, watching it like a play.

I feel much calmer mentally.

Of course, if someone else encountered this situation, Xu Youyu might not come forward.

Just seeing that the other party was targeting Li Luo, Xu Youyu couldn't hold back and scolded him coldly.

Otherwise, I always feel like my younger brother is being bullied, and I feel a little unhappy.

It's okay to just bully and bully yourself, but it's not the turn of cats and dogs like this to make noises.

After Lu Wei returned to the rest area of ​​Class 7, the second quarter began soon.

Seeing that Li Luo still didn't play, Lu Wei snorted and attacked even more fiercely.

Although Zhu Yufei and others supported the opponent's attack, at the end of the second quarter, the score was still stretched to 30-24.

When the halftime whistle sounded, Class 7 immediately cheered and opened champagne in advance, feeling that their class was about to win.

On the other hand, Class 8 was worried.

On the other hand, Zhu Yufei and the others didn't look very anxious. After they got off the field, they smiled at Li Luo and said, "Squad leader, will I see you later?"

"Leave it to me." Li Luo bumped fists with Zhang Guohuang and made sure to replace him soon. When the intermission was about to end, he finally took off his coat and warmed up on the sidelines.

Yan Zhusheng blinked as he watched Li Luo take off his coat, silently walked over, took his coat, and held it in his arms.

When Ying Chanxi saw this, he was stunned for a moment, then secretly felt annoyed and silently made a note in his heart.

"Come on." Seeing that he was about to play, Xu Youyu immediately patted Li Luo on the shoulder, and secretly leaned into his ear, teasing softly, "If you win, my sister will reward you tonight~"

Li Luo's body was tingling as she blew hot air into his ears. When he turned to look at Xu Youyu, she had already snickered and backed away from Hui Chanxi, winking at him charmingly.

Finally, the PE teacher blew the whistle.

Li Luo replaced Zhang Guohuang and followed Zhu Yufei and the others onto the basketball court.

Next to them, Lu Wei and the others also came on stage. When they saw Li Luo coming on the stage, they immediately sneered: "Do you think you can win if I replace you?"

"Stop talking so much." Li Luo sighed, "Save your energy and cry harder later."

"you!"

"Stand up." The physical education teacher didn't give them any time to talk trash. After handing the ball over to Class 8, he blew the whistle and announced the start of the third quarter.

"Li Luo! Come on!" Ying Chanxi stood on the sidelines, put his hands in front of his mouth, and shouted loudly, come on.

The classmates in Class 8 immediately started shouting.

When the people from Class 7 next door saw this, they immediately shouted "Come on" not to be outdone.

However, Liu Shaowen and others who were watching the game suddenly looked at each other in confusion.

"When we were playing the game, why didn't we see the monitor cheering us on?"

"It's good to applaud you. Li Luo is my cousin after all."

Xie Shuchen could only comfort himself and his teammates, looking at Li Luo's high-spirited appearance on the court, and then added, "By the way, I just looked at Li Luo's level. I didn't pay much attention to it before."

That's what he was saying.

Li Luo had already received the pass from Zhu Yufei, jumped directly from a fixed point, and easily threw the ball into the net.

"Oh!" Liu Shaowen raised his eyebrows, "Is it so accurate? Just jump shot?"

"Look again."

Lu Wei, who was on the court, saw Li Luo scoring the goal and immediately clicked his tongue. After receiving the serve from his teammate, he immediately launched a counterattack.

But then, the situation started to go wrong.

For most football games, when both sides attack each other, there will always be mistakes, so it is impossible to score every time they attack.

But since Li Luo came on the field, Class 8's offense has never conceded a goal again.

In just five minutes, Class 8 took down all seven attacks!

And all the goals were scored by Li Luo!

Class 7 only scored five goals, and the score was suddenly shortened to 40-38, only two points behind.

Lu Wei got angry and immediately changed the target with his teammates, choosing to guard Li Luo himself.

It has to be said that Lu Wei is not only fierce in offense, but also very tight in defense.

Since he started to defend, he has indeed caused some interference to Li Luo.

After all, even if it is the same point, if you want to successfully reproduce it every time, you must control the angle and strength of the jump perfectly so that the line is not blocked by the opponent.

So in the next few minutes, although Li Luo's scoring rate was still very high, he still failed to hit every shot and dropped the ball twice.

Lu Wei's side had already attacked fiercely, and barely managed to stop Class 8's offensive, tightly controlling the score to two points.

But just when the third quarter was about to end, Li Luo got the ball again and took off from a fixed spot.

Lu Wei was anxious and immediately jumped up to defend.

But the next second, Li Luo just smiled at him, raised his hand and hooked it down, and completed the pass in mid-air.

Lin Yuan suddenly broke out and temporarily got rid of the guard, appeared behind Lu Wei, lightly received the pass from Li Luo, and then smoothly made a three-step layup under Xu Guangtao's pick-and-roll, scoring two points.

The PE teacher's whistle blows.

The third section ends.

The score officially came to 48-48!

Cheers suddenly erupted from Class 8, while Class 7 began to get nervous.

And in the fourth quarter, Li Luo didn't give the opponent any chance.

As long as Lu Wei guards him, he will always be ready to pass the ball when making a jump shot.

After all, the other members of Class 7 are not as strong as Lu Wei, and they always show their flaws occasionally.

In particular, Li Luo's jump shots are so accurate that the opponent will always subconsciously focus on his ball.

So much so that Lin Yuan and Fang Chen, who were always on the bottom line, found opportunities to break through.

So in the fourth quarter, with the increasingly perfect cooperation of Class 8, when the PE teacher's whistle sounded again, the score was fixed at 62-66.

Class 8 successfully advanced to the finals with a four-point advantage!

"Grass!"

Lu Wei looked at the score outside the field, then looked at Class 8 who were already cheering and celebrating, and suddenly cursed with an ugly expression on his face.

He looked in the direction of Class 7 and saw that Gao Yuqin had already left with a frown on his face. His heart suddenly skipped a beat and he quickly ran to follow him without even bothering to scold Li Luo.

As for Class 8, there was already a scene of joy.

Li Luo and Zhu Yufei happily high-fived and celebrated winning the game. They ignored Lu Wei and walked straight towards Class 8.

Upon seeing this, Ying Chanxi hurriedly ran up to Li Luo, took out the tissue paper that had been prepared from his trouser pocket, raised his hand to wipe his sweat: "Don't move, I'll wipe it for you."

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yufei and others were immediately speechless. Then they looked at each other, then secretly looked at Yan Zhusheng, then they laughed secretly, and watched the show tacitly.

Yan Zhusheng just watched silently, and put away the tissue he just took out a little unhappy.

After watching the game, Liu Shaowen, Xie Shuchen and others from Class 1 immediately looked at each other and then said:

"Li Luo is so fierce. Why is his jump shot so accurate?"

"Didn't you notice? He seems to have shot at the same spot."

"I guess it's because that position has a higher probability of hitting, right? Is it the angle he's most familiar with?"

"But is he not very physically strong? I saw that he only played two bars, and his face looked very tired."

"No matter what, once Li Luo comes on the field, we must keep an eye on him."

"Then I'll do it." Liu Shaowen coughed and then said, "Xie Shuchen is staring at Zhu Yufei. Their center is not very strong, so Jian Zhenyuan should be fine."

"Their short defender is also very clever. Liao Hailin has been keeping an eye on him. Don't be like the people in Class 7 who let him go at every turn."

Here we are discussing tactics.

Over there, Ying Chanxi had already helped Li Luo wipe the sweat off his face.

Fortunately, Xie Shuchen and others were discussing very seriously and did not notice this scene, otherwise their defense would be somewhat compromised.

…

After returning to the classroom, Class 8 returned to self-study mode.

When school was about to end at noon, Kong Junxiang came to the classroom again to talk about the college entrance examination reform and parent-teacher conferences. After the bell rang, he announced that get out of class was over.

Li Luo and the others went to the cafeteria to have lunch.

Ying Chanxi went to the competition class.

Only Yan Zhusheng and Xu Yinghuan were left, following Li Luo to the vegetable market to buy vegetables in advance and returned to Bihai Lanting.

"I'm going to the bathroom~" Xu Yinghuan walked towards the bathroom as soon as she entered the door.

After Li Luo put the vegetables he bought in the kitchen, he turned around and saw Yan Zhusheng standing behind him, opening her hands towards him.

"What are you doing?"

"Give me a hug."

"ah?"

While Li Luo was stunned, Yan Zhusheng had already gently leaned in front of him, hugged his waist with both hands, and whispered: "Congratulations on reaching the finals."

"Why didn't you hug me when I won just now?"

"There were so many people just now, I was shy." Yan Zhusheng was not too greedy. She hugged him for a while and then let go, winking and saying to him.

I really didn't feel any shyness at all.

"It's also a hug between good friends."

"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "Li Luo, you are so smart."

Li Luo: "...it always feels weird when you praise me for being smart."

"What are you doing?" Xu Yinghuan asked curiously as she passed by the kitchen after going to the toilet.

"Get ready to prepare the dishes." Li Luo said, "You two go to the living room to play. I will prepare the dishes to be fried in the evening."

"I can help." Yan Zhusheng whispered, glanced at the apron hanging on the wall, quietly moved to the wall, and reached out to take off the apron.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "I will be careful not to hold you back."

"Then come on." When Xu Yinghuan saw this, she immediately laughed twice and closed the door for them very consciously.

So Yan Zhusheng took off the apron from the wall, put it on herself, turned her back to Li Luo, and said over her shoulder, "Tie it for me."

Li Luo walked behind Yan Zhusheng, tied the apron straps tightly, and then pointed at the vegetables in the plastic bag: "Wash these vegetables, I don't expect anything else from you."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded obediently.

After preparing the dishes until around two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng came out of the kitchen.

As soon as he opened the sliding door of the kitchen, Li Luo saw Xu Yinghuan walking towards the sofa with a guilty look on her face, which made him squint his eyes: "Xu Yinghuan, what were you doing just now?"

"Ah?" Xu Yinghuan sat back on the sofa, then blinked and said innocently, "I went to the toilet, I just happened to pass by."

Li Luo rolled his eyes at her speechlessly, and then was pulled into the piano room by Yan Zhusheng.

After entering the piano room, Yan Zhusheng poked his head out before closing the door and said to Xu Yinghuan with a sullen face: "Huanhuan is not allowed to eavesdrop."

After saying that, she closed the door.

The next second, Xu Yinghuan jumped off the sofa, ignoring Yan Zhusheng's warning, and tiptoed to the door of the piano room with excitement and anticipation, ready to listen.

As a result, the next second, the door was opened again.

Yan Zhusheng looked at Xu Yinghuan expressionlessly, making her freeze in place.

"Ahaha...I was just passing by...passing by."

"Huan Huan is bad." Yan Zhusheng whispered, "Don't eavesdrop, I'm shy."

When Xu Yinghuan heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

But she was too embarrassed to eavesdrop anymore, so she returned to the sofa and continued watching TV.

It wasn't until around four o'clock in the evening that Ying Chanxi and the four of them returned from school.

As soon as he entered the house, Ying Chanxi looked around and then asked: "Where are Zhusheng and Li Luo?"

"I'm playing the piano." Xu Yinghuan said with her lips pursed.

Hearing this, Ying Chanxi immediately raised his eyebrows. Without even having time to throw away his schoolbag, he went straight to the door of the piano room, knocked on the door, and pushed the door open.

In the piano room, Yan Zhusheng was sitting upright beside him, and Li Luo was also playing the piano seriously.

When Ying Chanxi saw this serious scene, he was stunned for a moment and felt a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with Xixi?" Yan Zhusheng looked at her doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

"Um...excuse me, please continue."

Ying Chanxi took a deep breath, silently exited the piano room, and closed the door for them.

But if she leaned against the door and listened, she would probably be able to hear...

"So what's the big hug just now?"

"Forget what you owed me before."

"...When did I owe you?"

"I made it to the badminton finals, but you didn't congratulate me."

"Then why are you still..."

"I was interrupted by Xixi just now and I only hugged you halfway. I need to make up for it." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, "Classmate Li, you are not allowed to move. Listen to the teacher."
Chapter completed!
