Father and Mother Lin were naturally not indifferent people, and they changed the subject very intelligently, but in their eyes, Xiao Xiao's image undoubtedly became taller and more mysterious.
Because of Xiao Xiao's age, Father Lin and Mother Lin were more inclined to think that Xiao Xiao was the hermit's high-powered apprentice.
And don’t the so-called masters all like to be low-key?
Moreover, Xiao Xiao saved Lin Zhenzhen, and they were too late to be grateful. How could he be so "aggressive"? If they offended the masters, they would have no place to cry.
So, since Xiao Xiao didn't want to say anything, they naturally wouldn't ask.
After a tacit and relaxed conversation, Xiao Xiao retired happily.
…
In the next few days, apart from attending classes, Xiao Xiao spent the rest of the time communicating with his bed. Even the meals were brought by his boss.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Xiao's face was indeed not so good, Zhang Bo and the others would have definitely dragged Xiao Xiao out for some photosynthesis.
On this day, seeing that Xiao Xiao's pale face finally regained some color, Zhang Bo felt relieved and couldn't help but complain a few words.
"Third brother, are you Sister Lin? It's just a cold night, how can you expect so many talents?"
In this regard, Xiao Xiao could only suffer internal injuries silently. He was not born weak, so how could he suffer from cold for so many days? But the real reason is hard to say. I can only hold my nose and accept this groundless accusation.
"That's good." Zhuge Yun waved his hand, "I haven't dared to play games these days for fear of affecting your rest."
"What a sacrifice."
"But, Third Brother, it's just the right time for you to do well."
"Huh?" After a moment of confusion, Xiao Xiao quickly responded, "What's the matter?"
"Tomorrow our school will have a basketball match against the Polytechnic University." Zhao Luzheng explained.
"The boss will also play." Zhuge Yun winked, "Although he is just a substitute."
…
The next day, the sky was still bright, Zhang Bo had already finished washing and went to the basketball gym first.
Xiao Xiao and the others are not in a hurry. The game won't start until nine o'clock.
Moreover, the boss helped them occupy seats, so the few of them arrived leisurely.
It was dark outside, and Xiao Xiao and the others were almost blinded by the bright lights inside as soon as they stepped into the stadium.
Xiao Xiao and others blinked, and the noisy crowd swept in. The basketball stadium was already a lively scene, and even the air seemed to be burning.
"Oh, there are so many people."
There is no need to look at it at all. Everywhere you look there are black heads.
"But yes, I heard that our school basketball team and the Polytechnic University basketball team have a feud."
"feud?"
"I don't know the specific situation. It happened several years ago, but this feud has continued."
"Well, it is said that the players from the University of Science and Technology have bad character. Seeing that they were about to lose the game, they resorted to cruel methods, causing a player from our school to be seriously injured."
"Of course, our school team also lost that game."
"But the people from the University of Science and Technology still refuse to admit their mistakes. They only say that the court is blind and it was just an accident. They say that our school team is not as good as others, so they want to frame us. It is obviously their fault, but they blame them for it. They are extremely arrogant. .”
"Hasn't the matter been found out?"
"It's just a shame that the other party did it secretly and refused to admit it. There was no third party to prove it. In the end, the matter had to be settled."
"I heard that one of the players on the other side has a family background..."
"Anyway, this matter has been suppressed."
"However, since then, the feud between the two basketball teams has also been forged."
Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng gave an overview of the matter to Xiao Xiao one sentence at a time.
This is what the boss told them these past few days, but Xiao Xiao didn't hear it because he was always resting.
"So, in the past few years, we have played countless games with Polytechnic University. We lost and won, and we wanted to beat the opponent to the ground, but neither side had any absolute upper hand."
"Whenever the opponent comes to play, there are always so many spectators. After all, what happened before is not a secret, and the interval is only a few years. Everyone's hatred is still deep, and everyone wants to beat up those grandsons from the Polytechnic University. Falling flowers and flowing water.”
…
Xiao Xiao and others walked to the front of the stands and said hello to the boss who saw them.
The boss ran forward, took them to their seats, and left.
The game is about to begin, and even if he is just a substitute, he still has a lot to do.
…
As expected of the front row seat, the view is amazing. The court below and the players on both sides can be seen clearly.
"I heard that there is a very powerful freshman in the science and engineering team this year?" Zhao Luzheng was a little worried.
"Well, that's it." Zhuge Yun pointed to the only person sitting on the rest board in the opponent's field.
The opponent's legs were stretched out, showing some laziness.
Even when he was sitting, he could still see his tall and strong physique. His head was tilted back, and he was covered by the shadow of the stands above, making it difficult to see what he looked like.
"At least 1.8 meters, right? He looks very powerful, right?" Zhao Luzheng felt even more worried when he looked at the man who had a strong aura even though he was just sitting quietly.
"One meter eight? I'm 1.9 meters tall. The official figure is 1.92 meters."
"And it's not just how it looks, it's really powerful."
"I heard that when he was in high school, a professional team took an interest in him, but he rejected it, saying basketball was just his hobby."
"So awesome?" Zhao Luzheng was confused, "Then..."
"Forget it, our team is not a vegetarian. It's okay." Zhuge Yun waved his arms vigorously, with a face full of confidence.
Deep down in my heart, I am also a little worried, talking nonsense, why does the other party have such a powerful new life?
You're not going to lose, are you?
Ah, crow's mouth.
How can you destroy your own prestige and enhance the other's ambition?
Who is the strongest newcomer? His reputation is quite good, but who knows his strength?
"Hey, third child, don't worry. Who knows if the other party is not worthy of his reputation? Besides, no matter how famous he is, he is just a first-year student and can't make a difference." Zhuge Yun saw Xiao Xiao staring at him all the time, thinking that Xiao Xiao Xiao was also worried about the competition, so he patted Xiao Xiao on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Hmm? Hmm, huh." Xiao Xiao was knocked out of his senses. He didn't hear clearly what Zhuge Yun said and could only respond a few times indiscriminately.
But his eyes were still fixed on the rookie player's... shoulder.
It was a huge, eagle-like creature.
Even though half of his body was hidden in the darkness, Xiao Xiao's increasingly sharp senses allowed him to clearly see the entirety of this creature, including the ferocious horns on the head of this creature that looked like an eagle but not an eagle.
