Chapter 45 A Dream
The next time I saw Yang Yi was in another basketball game. This game was an invitational match initiated by Polytechnic University. In name, it was a give-and-take match, with the basketball teams of the two schools communicating and promoting each other... Of course, in reality, everyone knew that this was Polytechnic University's battle to avenge its defeat.

Since the boss was going to play, Xiao Xiao and the others naturally followed him to the University of Science and Technology to cheer for the boss and their school basketball team.

Walking into the gate of the University of Science and Technology again, Xiao Xiao heard the crowds of people on both sides and the laughter of students, but it was just listening, his thoughts had uncontrollably returned to the alley that day.

After agreeing to the duck's proposal to eat the monster, Xiao Xiao naturally couldn't stay there and watch the duck eat a monster that was a circle bigger than itself.

The Gu Diao began to struggle again. The last thing Xiao Xiao saw before turning around was its paranoid and crazy vertical pupils that had almost shrunk into a thin needle. The rich scarlet color was seeping with a gray and desperate black, and it was determined to destroy everything.

Xiao Xiao didn't look at it any further, he knew that no matter how much the Gu Diao exploded its microcosm, it was powerless to save the situation.

"Tower~Tower~"

Xiao Xiao slowly stepped out of the dim alley into the gentle and bright daylight.

He leaned lazily at the entrance of the alley, supporting his forehead with one hand, rubbing his swollen and aching forehead with his soft fingertips.

He could already sense how miserable he would be for a long time to come.

.......
The duck did not take too much time to eat. Xiao Xiao felt something when the duck disappeared. At the same time, a sentence that came to his mind made him stunned. It was so advanced that it could "transmit sound over thousands of miles"?
Xiao Xiao tilted his head and looked into the depths of the alley. Even though his eyesight had been greatly enhanced, he did not have the ability to see through things. Naturally, all he could see was a stone wall.

Xiao Xiao couldn't figure out what the point of staying was.
Anyway, the monsters he summoned would naturally disappear as long as he thought about it or gave an order in advance.

Besides, ordinary people can't see them. This really provides a lot of convenience for his actions.

It's just a headache, so I need to rest.

Ignoring the slight annoyance in his heart, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but bang his head against the wall. The external stimulation slightly reduced the internal pain.

Feeling a warm and familiar feeling in his hand, Xiao Xiao immediately raised the hand holding the Demon Mirror. On the black cover, there were faint, winding, repetitive and strange patterns, flowing with silver light, and seeping out a hint of blood. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the blood color seemed to be a little richer, and it was agile like a living thing, shuttling through the silver light.

A warm current slowly flowed through Xiao Xiao's whole body, most of it entered Xiao Xiao's brain, and the rest flowed into Xiao Xiao's limbs, eyes, and even his ears.

Xiao Xiao had the illusion of soaking in an open-air hot spring. He felt lazy all over and so comfortable that he almost fell asleep with his eyes closed.

He raised his head slightly, and the clear sunlight enveloped Xiao Xiao's whole body. His sensitive and thin eyelids covered his eyeballs, and there was a warm air flow. He didn't know if it was the effect of the sunlight or the warm current in his body, or both?
In short, Xiao Xiao felt that he had never experienced such a feeling that every cell in his body was cheering and jumping for joy.

Such an intoxicating and addictive feeling.

……

Xiao Xiao maintained this posture until all the feelings disappeared, then he slowly opened his eyes with a sense of reluctance.

Although the world before his eyes had not changed at all, Xiao Xiao felt as if he had seen a new world.

His five senses became clearer, allowing him to better appreciate the beauty of this world he had long taken for granted.

"Wow, it's so bright." Xiao Xiao did not squint, but opened his eyes wide and observed everything within his sight with joy.

The bright light shone into his heart, and the previous haze melted away, leaving only clarity and warmth.

……

The basketball hall was crowded and noisy.

Xiao Xiao and his friends took advantage of their status as the boss and used the name of the basketball team to get good seats in the front row.

"There are so many people!" Zhao Luzheng exclaimed as he looked around.

"Humph, don't they just want to see our school lose? Go ahead and dream on! Don't cry if they lose again!" Zhuge Yun was quite angry.

Fortunately, all the people sitting in this stand are students from Yan University, otherwise, after Zhuge Yun said this, Xiao Xiao really doubted whether they could still leave the University of Science and Technology?
"Second brother." Zhao Lu was helpless. He could just say this kind of thing at school or think about it in his heart. But is it really okay to be so arrogant in someone else's territory? "I'm telling the truth!" Zhuge Yun crossed his arms and looked disdainful.

This idiot, Xiao Xiao was speechless but also a little amused.

"Yes, that's right!"

"That's right, do these guys from the University of Science and Technology think they can beat us on their own field?"

"Who's afraid of who? Kill them!"

……

Obviously, Zhuge Yun's words were recognized by the surrounding Yan University students, and they all spoke out in support.

Zhuge Yun had a smug look on his face, and soon he got into a lively conversation with a group of people around him with saliva flying everywhere.

Xiao Xiao did not join them. He stood up and walked to the guardrail, looking towards the contestant seats opposite below.

Yang Yi stood out from the crowd as always, and people noticed him at first sight.

It seemed that he really thought that everything before was just a dream, and he got over the influence of that incident.

"…This human can see monsters because of the Gu Diao. Now that the Gu Diao is dead, he will never be able to see monsters again…" The words that Wuya said to him before he disappeared came to his mind.

Xiao Xiao left Yang Yi in the alley. After hearing what Yaya said, he thought it would be better for them not to have any contact.

Later, Yang Yi came to Yan University, but unfortunately he didn't know Xiao Xiao's name. Perhaps it was because he didn't take Xiao Xiao seriously during their previous meeting, or he simply forgot about it. Anyway, he didn't ask Xiao Xiao's name, and Xiao Xiao didn't say it on his own initiative.

So Yang Yi, who didn't know Xiao Xiao's name and only knew Xiao Xiao's appearance, took a lot of effort to find Xiao Xiao.

Faced with Yang Yi's questions, Xiao Xiao naturally denied them all.

"No, I only saw you at the last basketball game."

"I haven't seen you anywhere else."

Of course, there is a loophole in this. Yang Yi’s roommate had seen him and knew that he had come to see Yang Yi.

So, he originally planned to never set foot in Polytechnic University again.

But, I can’t just not go to the boss’s game.

Because of the eldest brother's outstanding performance in the last competition with the University of Science and Technology, he has been trained by the school team since then, and naturally he will have the opportunity to play in this competition.

As a good brother, how could he not come to cheer without a legitimate reason?
Xiao Xiao hesitated for a long time, but finally came.

In fact, he didn't care whether Yang Yi regarded the previous period as a dream. After all, no matter how much Yang Yi thought, since he couldn't see it, everything was in vain.

Xiao Xiao is just afraid of trouble.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao felt relieved, and came to the basketball hall of the University of Science and Technology again without any worries. As expected, he met Yang Yi again.

In fact, no matter what Yang Yi thought, he could only regard that period of time and the Gu Diao as just a dream.

This is the only and best option.

"Beep~" the game begins.
