The second half began.
Wang Yue noticed that everyone on the opposing team was looking at him with fierce eyes.
"What trick are they planning now?"
Wang Yue was unbothered.
As the whistle blew,
Lu Yang once again snatched the ball and passed it to Wang Yue.
Receiving the ball, Wang Yue
charged forward again.
Then, all five opponents converged on him.
"They're going for teamwork?"
A grin spread across Wang Yue's lips as he charged forward anyway.
"Fatty, go!"
Liu Feng shouted.
The five players blocked Wang Yue.
The chubby kid went for a "monkey steals the peach" move,
aiming for Wang Yue's groin.
"Damn it!"
In the stands, Hu Qianhao clearly saw the scene.
He felt a pang in his own crotch, as if he were the one being attacked.
"Let's see you show off now, I'll make sure you're castrated!"
The chubby kid was already imagining Wang Yue writhing in agony on the ground.
"Bang!"
But then, he saw a knee rapidly approaching his eyes.
It then struck his nose directly.
In that instant, the chubby kid's mind went blank.
He felt lightheaded, and a sharp pain shot through his nose.
He tumbled back into the group, sending everyone sprawling.
Nosebleed flowed uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Wang Yue once again broke through easily and scored a three-pointer.
The "steal the peach" plan had failed.
The players from Class 4 of Senior High Year 2 were at a loss on how to deal with Wang Yue.
Even five of them together couldn't stop him. How could they win?
From then on, the game became a one-sided affair.
The entire court turned into Wang Yue's personal show.
However, this time he didn't choose to dunk.
Firstly, it was unnecessary.
Secondly, there weren't many spectators, so it wouldn't have the desired effect of showing off.
If the entire school were here, he would definitely have dunked.
After the game ended,
the players from Class 4 of Senior High Year 2 looked like dejected eggplants.
They didn't dare utter a harsh word and slunk away.
"Brother Yue is awesome!"
"Hahaha, did you see those idiots? Their grumpy faces are hilarious."
"Once Brother Yue makes a move, these brats won't even have time to cry."
While Wang Yue might not have single-handedly turned the tide,
he had certainly given everyone a sense of catharsis.
Dealing with people who resorted to dirty tricks required a show of strength and overwhelming force to feel satisfying.
After school,
Wang Yue, as usual, sent Qiao Zixuan home first.
On his way back, he ran into An Ran.
An Ran was struggling with a guy.
Not a verbal struggle, but a physical one.
The guy was grabbing An Ran's hand, trying to hug and kiss her.
An Ran was struggling desperately, shouting at the guy, calling him crazy.
"An Ran, just agree to be my girlfriend, I'll treat you well, I really like you."
The guy pouted, trying to kiss An Ran.
An Ran was about to lose it. She looked up and slapped the guy's face, "Get lost!"
Instead of getting angry, the guy became more excited. "An Ran, you hit me so hard, it feels so good. Hit me a couple more times."
Wang Yue couldn't help but sigh.
"This guy is truly a pervert."
But pervert or not,
acting like a hooligan on the street was unacceptable.
So Wang Yue stepped forward and had a friendly chat with the guy.
After their "chat," the guy ran off with a bruised and swollen face. Even the thickest skin couldn't withstand Wang Yue's "care."
"Thank you, Wang Yue."
An Ran tidied her appearance and said gratefully.
"No need to thank me."
Wang Yue waved his hand and was about to ride his rickety bike away.
He didn't even bother to say an extra word.
It was better to keep a distance from "sea queens."
Unexpectedly, An Ran hopped onto Wang Yue's rickety bike.
"Wang Yue, do you think I'm a bad woman?"
Before Wang Yue could shoo her away, An Ran lowered her head and said dejectedly.
"Is she trying to play the victim?"
Wang Yue mused about An Ran's actions.
After some thought, Wang Yue said, "You're not bad, you're just heartbroken into so many pieces that each piece fell in love with someone different."
"Pfft."
An Ran chuckled. She looked up at Wang Yue and said earnestly, "Wang Yue, I didn't expect you to be so good at digging at people."
"How could I?"
Wang Yue feigned innocence. "I was just providing a reasonable explanation for your behavior."
An Ran shook her head and said, "Wang Yue, I know you look down on me, thinking I'm a flirtatious woman, but I'm not what you think."
Regarding the "sea queen's" story,
Wang Yue was somewhat interested.
So he said, "Tell me more."
An Ran suddenly said, "Shall I take you somewhere?"
"Where?"
Wang Yue asked.
"A fun place."
...
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at a small grove of trees.
Don't jump to conclusions, it wasn't for anything illicit.
In the grove, there was a hammock.
The hammock was clearly old.
An Ran's eyes held a wistful look. "Wang Yue, would you be willing to hear my story?"
Wang Yue nodded. "I'm all ears."
"I had a very loving couple as parents. I believed that until I was five years old."
"Then, at the age of five, I discovered my father was having an affair. So I told my mother."
"As soon as my mother found out, she divorced my father without hesitation."
"I hated my father. I thought he was responsible for everything. But later I discovered that my mother had had an affair first, and my father's affair was his revenge."
"Does it sound melodramatic and absurd? But sometimes reality is like that."
"From then on, I knew that there was no such thing as an unbreakable relationship in this world. I liked to see those pathetic men fight over me, be infatuated with me, give them hope, and then dash it all."
"If someone truly loves me, they must suffer just as I have."
At the end, a strange smile appeared on An Ran's face.
"I don't know why I wanted to tell you all this. I just subconsciously felt you were a good person to confide in."
Having said that,
An Ran looked at Wang Yue, expecting to see his reaction.
Perhaps shock? Or pity?
But when she saw Wang Yue, her face twitched uncontrollably.
Wang Yue was picking his nose with no regard for his image.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
An Ran felt a vein throbbing on her forehead. "And don't you think picking your nose in front of a girl is very ungentlemanly?"
"Anything to say?"
Wang Yue thought for a moment, then replied, "6."
"Pfft!"
An Ran felt like she was about to spit up blood from anger.
That "6" again!
She could never forget the trauma that Wang Yue's two "6"s on QQ had caused her before.
To hear it again today, from his own mouth,
made it even more infuriating!
"Wang! Yue!"
An Ran gritted her teeth and enunciated each word, "You heartless, unrighteous, shameless, loveless scoundrel!"
