Chapter 34 Discovery in the Stadium
Naturally, Lin's father and mother were not tactless people. They tactfully changed the subject. However, in their eyes, Xiao Xiao's image undoubtedly became taller and more mysterious.
Because of Xiao Xiao's age, Lin's father and mother are more inclined to believe that Xiao Xiao is the disciple of some powerful hermit.
Aren’t the so-called masters the ones who like to keep a low profile?
Moreover, Xiao Xiao saved Lin Zhenzhen, and they were too grateful to express their gratitude to him, so how could they be "aggressive"?
If they offended the masters because of this, they would have no place to cry.
Well, since Xiao Xiao didn't want to say it, they naturally wouldn't ask.
After a tacit and relaxed conversation, Xiao Xiao happily retired.
……
In the next few days, apart from attending classes, Xiao Xiao spent the rest of his time communicating with his bed, and even asked the boss and others to bring him meals.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Xiao's face looked really bad, Zhang Bo and the others would definitely drag Xiao Xiao out to do photosynthesis.
That day, seeing that Xiao Xiao's pale face finally regained some color, Zhang Bo was relieved but couldn't help but complain a few words.
"Third brother, are you Miss Lin? You just caught a cold last night, but it took you so many days to recover?"
In this regard, Xiao Xiao could only silently suffer internal injuries. He was not born weak, so why would he feel uncomfortable for so many days just because of a cold?
But it is hard to say the real reason, so I can only accept this false accusation with a pinch of my nose.
"That's good." Zhuge Yun waved his hand. "I haven't been able to play games freely these past few days, for fear of disturbing your rest."
“What a sacrifice.”
"But, Third Brother, you are so good at the right time."
"Hmm?" After a moment of confusion, Xiao Xiao quickly responded, "What's the matter?"
"Tomorrow our school will have a basketball game with the University of Science and Technology," Zhao Luzheng explained.
"The boss will also play." Zhuge Yun winked, "Although he will only be a substitute."
……
The next day, when it was still dawn, Zhang Bo had already washed up and went to the basketball court first.
Xiao Xiao and his friends were not in a hurry because the game would not start until nine o'clock.
And with the boss helping them save seats, they were able to arrive leisurely on time.
It was dark outside, and as soon as Xiao Xiao and his companions stepped into the stadium, they were almost blinded by the bright lights inside.
Xiao Xiao and the others blinked their eyes. Noisy voices swept over. The basketball hall was already filled with a lively scene, and even the air seemed to have a burning feeling.
"Oh, there are so many people."
There is no need to look around, as everywhere you look there are seas of heads.
"But it's true. I heard that our school's basketball team has a feud with the Polytechnic University's basketball team."
"feud?"
"I'm not very clear about the specific circumstances. It happened several years ago, but the hatred has continued."
"Well, it is said that the players from Polytechnic University were bad people. Seeing that they were about to lose the game, they resorted to despicable means, causing a player from our school to be seriously injured."
"Of course, our school team lost that game, too."
"But the group of people from the Polytechnic University refused to admit their mistakes. They just said that the court had no eyes and it was just an accident. They said that our school team was not as skilled as others and wanted to frame us. It was obviously their fault, but they turned the tables and were so arrogant."
"Hasn't the matter been investigated?"
"The hateful thing is that the other party did it secretly and refused to admit it. There was no third party to prove it, so the matter ended up in nothing." "I heard that one of the players on the other side has a very powerful family background..."
"Anyway, the matter was suppressed."
"However, since then, the feud between the two basketball teams has been formed."
Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng took turns to give Xiao Xiao a general idea of what happened.
These are what the boss told them in the past few days, but Xiao Xiao didn't hear it because he was always resting.
"So, over the past few years, we have played countless games with the Polytechnic University. We have won and lost, and we both wanted to beat the other side, but neither side has an absolute advantage."
"Whenever the other team comes to compete, there are always so many spectators. After all, what happened before is no secret, and it has only been a few years. Everyone's hatred is still deep, and everyone wants to beat those bastards from the University of Science and Technology into a pulp."
……
Xiao Xiao and his companions walked to the front of the stands and greeted the boss who saw them.
The boss ran up and took them to their seats, then left.
The game was about to start, and even though he was just a substitute, there was a lot to do.
……
As expected, it is the front row seat with an amazing view. I can see the court and the players of both teams clearly.
"I heard that there is a very talented freshman in the science and engineering team this year?" Zhao Luzheng was a little worried.
"Look, that one." Zhuge Yun pointed at the only person sitting on the rest platform in the other party's field.
The other person stretched out his legs, looking a bit lazy.
Even though he was sitting, one could tell he was tall and strong, with his head tilted back, obscured by the shadow of the stands above, making it difficult to see his appearance clearly.
"He's at least 1.80 meters tall, right? He looks very powerful." Zhao Lu was looking at the man who had a strong aura even when he was just sitting quietly, and he felt even more worried.
"1.8 meters? He is 1.9 meters tall. The official data is 1.92 meters."
"And it's not just looks, it's really amazing."
"I heard that a professional team had scouted him when he was in high school, but he declined, saying that basketball was just his hobby."
"So awesome?" Zhao Lu was confused. "Then..."
"Forget it. Our team is no pushover. It's okay." Zhuge Yun waved his arms vigorously, his face full of confidence.
But deep down in my heart I was a little worried. What nonsense! Why would the other party have such a powerful new student?
Are you going to lose?
Ah, crow's mouth.
How can you destroy your own prestige and boost the other party's ambition?
What is the strongest newcomer? The name is quite famous, but who knows his ability?
"Hey, third brother, 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 freshman and can't make a big splash." Zhuge Yun saw that Xiao Xiao was staring at the other party, and thought that Xiao Xiao was also worried about the game, so he patted Xiao Xiao on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Hmm? Hmm, hmm." Xiao Xiao was brought back to his senses by the slap. He didn't hear clearly what Zhuge Yun said, and could only respond randomly.
But his eyes were still fixed on the rookie player's...shoulder.
It was a huge, eagle-like creature.
Even though half of its body was hidden in the darkness, Xiao Xiao's increasingly sharp five senses allowed him to clearly see the whole appearance of the creature, and saw the ferocious horns on the head of this creature that looked like an eagle but was not an eagle.
