Chapter 147: Brutal Massacre
Yang Fan raised his head and caught sight of an exquisitely pretty face.
He recognized this girl immediately; she was the one who had been harassed by hoodlums on the bus last time.
Lin Susu flashed a sweet smile, shook the bottle of mineral water in her hand, and said, "Thank you for last time. This bottle of water is my treat."
Lin Susu was quite surprised to run into Yang Fan here at the school.
She still had a strong impression of this somewhat aloof young man, and he was quite handsome to boot.
Yang Fan did not refuse. He reached out and took the water, his gaze lingering on Lin Susu for a brief moment as a strange glint flashed through his eyes.
He discovered a faint spiritual aura emanating from Lin Susu. Although it was not very obvious, standing this close allowed Yang Fan to feel it distinctly.
The last time they were on the bus, Yang Fan hadn't paid much attention, and he had maintained a certain distance from Lin Susu, so he hadn't noticed it.
Now that she was standing right in front of him, he could feel it clearly.
He was certain in his heart that Lin Susu's constitution was likely somewhat special.
Making up his mind, Yang Fan decided to find an opportunity to investigate further.
"Thank you," Yang Fan said softly.
"I actually thought you were a very cold person," Lin Susu smiled slightly.
"I don't like talking much to people I'm not familiar with," Yang Fan replied indifferently.
Hearing this, Lin Susu felt a wave of depression wash over her.
"What's your name?"
"Yang Fan."
"Which class are you in?"
"Class 1, Senior Year."
Watching the conversation between Yang Fan and Lin Susu, Liu Jingjing wore a look of dissatisfaction, her eyes filled with hostility as she glared at Lin Susu.
No matter what, Yang Fan was her boyfriend—even if it was only temporary—so she certainly couldn't just stand by and watch another woman come over to flirt with him.
Putting on a cute smile, she walked up to Yang Fan and said intimately, "Brother Yang Fan, do you know her?"
"Don't know her," Yang Fan answered.
"......" Lin Susu felt as though a knife had just pierced her chest; she was deeply depressed.
Yet, Yang Fan's answer was entirely truthful; he didn't even know what Lin Susu's name was.
Hearing Yang Fan say he didn't know Lin Susu, Liu Jingjing's face bloomed with a triumphant smile. She said, "Sister, my boyfriend doesn't know you, you see. Did you come over just to hit on him?"
To say that Liu Jingjing didn't know who Lin Susu was would be an outright lie.
At Pearl High School, everyone knew Lin Susu, because she was the undisputed campus belle of Pearl High.
On the Pearl High School campus forum, Lin Susu was a constant topic of discussion among the students.
Lin Susu looked at Liu Jingjing and noticed the provocative look in the latter's eyes, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Moreover, Yang Fan's words just now had really hurt her feelings.
"Let's make a formal introduction. My name is Lin Susu." Extending her hand toward Yang Fan, Lin Susu still wore a youthful, radiant, and sweet smile that made it impossible for anyone to refuse.
Just as Yang Fan was about to reach out and shake her hand, Liu Jingjing blocked him.
Pushing Yang Fan's hand down, Liu Jingjing unscrewed the cap of the water bottle he was holding and said, "You just finished playing basketball and need to rest. Here, let me feed you some water."
"There's no need for that, I can do it myself," Yang Fan said, feeling somewhat exasperated.
It was obvious that this little girl Liu Jingjing was doing it on purpose, deliberately targeting Lin Susu.
"I'm your girlfriend, so I should take care of you," Liu Jingjing said, staring up at Yang Fan with her large, round eyes.
With no way to deal with this woman, Yang Fan had no choice but to open his mouth and drink the water.
Meanwhile, Liu Jingjing glanced triumphantly at Lin Susu, her eyes full of provocation.
Faced with Liu Jingjing's provocation, Lin Susu's expression remained unchanged, and a smile still lingered on her face.
She also knew who this girl Liu Jingjing was, as Liu Jingjing was quite famous within Pearl High School as well.
Lin Susu had only come over to greet Yang Fan to express her gratitude; she had no other intentions whatsoever.
To say she was in love with Yang Fan would be a gross exaggeration.
It was simply that this girl Liu Jingjing was a bit overly sensitive.
The students surrounding the basketball court watched as the campus belle, Lin Susu, handed water to Yang Fan and even struck up a conversation with him, appearing quite familiar with one another.
In an instant, many boys felt a bitter ache in their hearts.
"Damn it, who on earth is that guy? The top three campus belles are all swarming around him. Is he some kind of beauty killer?"
"It's completely unfair! Why does that guy have such incredible luck with women?"
"Alas, the number one campus belle actually has someone she likes. A lot of hearts are going to shatter today."
At Pearl High School, Lin Susu was the goddess of all the boys.
Seeing their goddess hand water to a boy and act so intimately with him caused everyone's hearts to break.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Fan had become the public enemy of all the male students present.
As the whistle for the second half blew, Yang Fan led the four freshmen back onto the court.
This time, Ye Chen changed his strategy, assigning three people to guard Yang Fan and prevent him from getting the ball.
However, while the idea was good, reality was harsh.
Even when facing a defense of three players, Yang Fan still managed to break through, dribbling the ball straight toward the opponent's basket.
Scoring a three-pointer in Ye Chen's face, performing a one-handed slam dunk, and showing off various fancy moves, he quickly widened the score gap.
As for Ye Chen's side, they were frustrated to the extreme and failed to score a single point.
No matter who got the ball, Yang Fan would rush over to defend, and every single time, he managed to steal it.
Even if they threw the ball high into the air, Yang Fan would leap directly from where he stood and intercept it.
Aside from passing the ball to the four freshmen to shoot—most of which they missed—any shot taken by Yang Fan resulted in a hundred percent success rate.
Even half-court shots sailed effortlessly through the net.
No one was able to stop Yang Fan.
On the court, it was a one-man show for Yang Fan, displaying all sorts of breathtaking skills that left Ye Chen utterly humiliated.
The spectators had long since shifted all their cheers over to Yang Fan, and even the girls had begun screaming frantically.
Watching the unstoppable Yang Fan on the court, Lin Susu's eyes burned with intense curiosity; she wanted to find out what kind of person Yang Fan really was.
The outcome of the match was no longer in suspense, and the team led by Ye Chen hadn't scored a single point.
Two players even deliberately tried to ram into Yang Fan, only to be knocked flying by him, landing flat on their backs with their limbs sprawled in the air.
Until the very end, Ye Chen's side remained scoreless, suffering a brutal, crushing defeat.
For a school team to be shut out completely was a record so embarrassing it would make anyone roar with laughter.
"Yang Fan, you're too amazing! You truly are the man I, Liu Jingjing, set my eyes on." Liu Jingjing excitedly ran up behind Yang Fan, leapt onto his back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and clung tightly to him.
Such an intimate gesture made all the boys watching green with envy.
Staring at Yang Fan's back, they thought to themselves, "Getting pressed against by those two formidable weapons must feel amazing, right?"
Glancing at Liu Jingjing, Ye Chen's expression turned chillingly cold, and his heart surged with fury.
Naturally, Ye Chen knew this woman was deliberately trying to provoke him, and she had successfully ignited the hatred burning in his heart.
"Since you want to meddle in this, you'll have to pay a price—a price you can't afford to bear." Throwing a cold glare at Yang Fan, Ye Chen sneered inwardly.
Having lost the match and completely disgraced himself, Ye Chen no longer had the face to stay here.
"Who was it that said they were going to eat shit earlier? Hurry up and do it!"
"And the one who said they'd chop their dick off, or soak their dick in sulfuric acid—hurry up, I'm waiting to watch!"
"Did anyone say that? Who said such a thing? How come I didn't hear it?"
"Yeah, you must have misheard. We never said anything like that."
"I despise you bastards, you're utterly shameless!"
Those students who had previously sworn oaths now conveniently chose amnesia. As for the contemptuous glances cast their way from all directions, they simply chose to ignore them.
Following today's match, Yang Fan had completely made a name for himself within Pearl High School. Many girls wrote him love letters, all of which were promptly confiscated by Liu Jingjing.
When school let out for the weekend on Friday afternoon, Yang Fan left the campus together with Tang Xin and Liu Jingjing.
Just as their car drove out of the school gates, Tang Xin's vehicle was forced to a halt by three minivans.
