Ouyang Xiaoleng pretended to be casual and placed his schoolbag on the ground outside the basketball court, and slowly moved closer to Kong Xin. But Kong Xin continued to be immersed in his own basketball world as if he was completely unaware of his existence. After making a series of dodging movements from left to right, he suddenly changed his speed and jumped up, as if he paused in mid-air for a while before releasing the ball.
The Spalding basketball fell steadily into the basket in a beautiful parabola. Although it was just a few simple movements, it can be seen that Kong Xin's athletic ability is quite good. First of all, a person of such a tall body can Being as coordinated and flexible as he is shows that he should be doing high-intensity exercise regularly.
After the ball passed through the basket and bounced to the ground, Kong Xin planned to catch it, but was overtaken by Ouyang Xiaoleng. He grabbed the ball with only one hand and turned back. Said to Kong Xin: "Come and compete one-on-one with me!"
Kong Xin narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him who challenged him. He had noticed him before, probably in the basketball game at the school sports meeting. Not only did he have dazzling skills, but he was also able to do many difficult moves with ease. . In fact, he wanted to compete with this boy at that time, but unfortunately he was not a member of the team in the class.
He has never belonged to any team, because he has been taller than other children since he was a child, and his face looks a bit fierce, so probably since kindergarten, his peers have kept a distance from him. Not only his peers, but also his teachers always seemed to intentionally ignore him. This was probably related to his parents' domineering nature.
Almost before he entered a new school, his parents would give the teachers a warning, probably by explaining that their busy work was closely related to the development of mankind and society. They will warn school leaders and teachers not to disturb them unless absolutely necessary.
His parents run the largest company in Yongchuan. This company and its branches provide almost 30% of the employment opportunities in Yongchuan. Even the mayor of Yongchuan City and even the governor of the next higher level have to give them some face, not to mention the principal and teachers of a small school, so between flattering him and treating him as nothing, most people People chose the latter.
This villa area called Nordic Style Town was a project developed by his parents. The richest families in the city and even the province live here. Li Yang's family is also very wealthy, but Li Yang and he have completely different lives.
Apart from buying him various things and giving him enough pocket money, Kong Xin's parents were indifferent to everything about him. They had no time to talk to him, let alone care about him deeply. Real happiness, in their eyes, material is everything.
So when Kong Xin saw Li Yang, who was deeply loved by his parents, he felt an inexplicable hatred in his heart. Li Yang, a boy in his class who is as fair as a little girl, has a beautiful and gentle mother. She is a full-time housewife who cooks by herself every day and always looks at her son with a smile, or She held her son, who was already slightly taller than her, in her arms. No matter how busy his father is at work, he will play tennis or swim with his son every weekend.
Thinking of his parents again, this kind of warmth from family affection that Kong Xin had never experienced would only burn him. When he saw the happy scene of their family of three, it was as if a dagger had been inserted into his heart, making him only have thoughts of destruction. He wanted Li Yang to be as miserable as himself, and only in this way could the pain in his soul, which pretended to be indifferent to everything, be released. Therefore, Li Yang became the target of his venting. He took pleasure in bullying him, blackmailing him, or hurting him, all for the same purpose.
Deep in his heart, he actually expected that Li Yang's parents would one day come to his house to sue him. His father would be furious after hearing the whole thing and give him a beating. The mother would apologize endlessly and then express her inner hurt at his words. He also expected that other classmates would attack him in groups in order to help Li Yang fight the injustice.
But those people around him lived their lives cautiously as if nothing had happened. After seeing clearly the indifference and ugliness of the world, he couldn't help but sneer, and began to sympathize with Li Yang, who was also abandoned by the world. Even if it was only once, if he could resist himself, he would stop from then on, but he But he was always resigned to the situation, which made him more and more unhappy.
In his impression, the young man in front of him who wanted to compete with him did not live in this community. In any case, he was the first person to have the courage to challenge him, and this alone impressed him. But it had been too long since he had interacted with anyone, and he rarely talked to other people, so he felt a little unnatural when facing Ouyang Xiaoleng.
After holding it in for a long time, he blurted out: "You are not from this community."
"Ah, my uncle lives here, and my cousin." Ouyang Xiaoleng made up a sentence casually.
"Compete with... compete with me. If you get hurt, don't blame me!"
It was hard to imagine that the voice coming from that huge body could be so green and even stammering. Ouyang Xiaoleng began not to believe that this person would bully a weak person.
He smiled slightly and said, "Of course, you decide the rules of the game!"
"Alternate attack and defense, fifteen times each. You attack first, and I will defend!" Kong Xin could not suppress the excitement in his chest, and his voice was trembling.
Ouyang Xiaoleng nodded and unbuttoned two buttons on his summer school uniform with his free hand. Ouyang Xiaoleng stood outside the top circle of the three-point arc, facing the backboard, while Kong Xin stood facing him. Three meters away. Both of them were in a state of high concentration, sparks sparking when their eyes collided.
"What's going on?" Kong Xin didn't see Ouyang Xiaoleng's movements clearly before he broke through.
He quickly adjusted his center of gravity and turned around to chase Ouyang Xiaoleng, who was getting closer to the basket. The moment he was about to shoot, he opened his arms like Mount Tai to block his entire sight. If it were someone else, there would be no chance of shooting in this situation, but he didn't know that he was not facing an ordinary person. Ouyang Xiaoleng did not dodge, but jumped back, his whole body already He only threw the ball from his hand at an angle that ordinary people couldn't reach.
Kong Xin looked back at the direction of the basket and saw the ball spinning on the basket a few times before falling in. He couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God! Have you participated in professional training?"
Ouyang Xiaoleng shook his head and said easily: "I just like NBA videos more."
Kong Xin didn't believe that he could be so skilled just by watching videos. Since he couldn't take advantage of the technology, he could only rely on his physical fitness.
It was his turn to attack, and since there was no referee, he simply ran like a tank and got to the basket. His body came into contact with Ouyang Xiaoleng more than once, and he was hurt by the impact, but the opponent remained calm and could still make coherent defensive actions. Although he had the advantage of height, he still couldn't find a good shooting opportunity, and finally shot randomly before timeout.
"It didn't go in, keep going!" Ouyang Xiaoleng could tell before the ball hit the basket that the route was not close to going in, so he said.
After only alternating offense and defense ten times, Kong Xin was already sweating profusely, but Ouyang Xiaoleng's breath was still as stable as before. He finally understood that there are people outside the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains. Although the score at this time was one goal for him and Ouyang Xiaoleng scored all ten goals, he had no chance of winning. Others might have simply given up, but he did not. . Meeting a rare opponent made him want to give his all and fight until the last moment.
In the end, he scored another goal. Although the score was very different, the expression on his face was very relieved. He smiled and said: "You win! Wait a minute!"
After Kong Xin finished speaking, he turned around and ran to the vending machine on the sidelines, bought two bottles of sports drinks from it, and threw one to Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"Thanks!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said, unscrewing the drink bottle and taking a sip.
"It's nothing, did you win? I haven't played with others for a long time, and I'm a little rusty." After Kong Xin finished speaking, he sat down on the court and drank a drink.
In the past, he sometimes went to a golf course in the city center to play with others. Most of the people who were willing to play with him were young people from society, and they didn't care who he was or where he came from. But recently, he wasn't even in the mood to go play ball with them anymore. His life became more and more purposeless. Sometimes he even thought about ending his life like this. Anyway, his life was full of pain and wisdom. Continuing in boredom.
I remember that a few days ago, he thought of asking Li Yang for money again, so he hid behind the trees next to the avenue in the yard in advance. When Li Yang passed by, he dragged him into the woods as usual.
"I really have no money today..." Li Yang pleaded, avoiding his eyes.
"I think you're itchy again?" Kong Xin asked, holding Li Yang's collar.
"No, I... I bought a set of models." Li Yang put his hand on his schoolbag unconsciously.
Kong Xin snatched his school bag, took out the box containing the model, threw it on the ground, and kicked it hard several times, feeling very relieved.
"Please!" Li Yang fell to the ground, protecting the model with his body, begging him with choked sobs.
"Cry, cry, cry, you will cry like a little girl, come and hit me, I will not fight back, if you dare to punch me, I will not trouble you again in the future. Do you believe it? ! Come on! Come on!!" Kong Xin patted his chest and said.
Li Yang, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head, his eyes full of hatred. He got up. For a moment, he felt that his fist was about to swing out and hit Kong Xin, but his arm seemed to be hit by some invisible force. Power bound.
Kong Xin gradually lost his patience. He punched Li Yang hard in the abdomen and shouted: "I gave you a chance, but you didn't even dare to resist me once."
Li Yang held his abdomen in pain and began to retching, tears dripping down to the ground. He couldn't understand why Kong Xin hated him so much, but he never resented him for it in the past. He just felt fear and wanted to stay away from him. Avoid him, but now, he has the idea of wishing him to disappear from this world.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Why are you doing this to me?!"
