Chapter 2068: BOOM (First Update)
"Bang!"
The basketball hoop trembled violently.
A shadow flashed by.
But soon, that figure seemed to be drained of energy and lay helplessly on the ground.
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
The basketball bounced weakly on the ground, rolling further and further away!
Beneath the basket, Gao Qi lay drenched in sweat, which flowed down his strong muscles.
His heaving chest was incredibly intense.
The yellowish light illuminated the entire basketball court.
And it lit up the face of the person on the ground!
Originally full of vitality and youthful sunshine, the face now showed a sense of bewilderment!
And a hint of disappointment!
Thinking of Zhang Fan surrounded by crowds at the parking lot, Gao Qi’s body began to tremble.
His brother now has such popularity and achievements!
As his brother, he should be happy!
But Gao Qi just couldn’t be happy.
He felt that he and Zhang Fan were no longer from the same world.
It was as if Zhang Fan became a renowned general, while he was just an unknown soldier.
He could only silently watch that person on the high stage command the winds and clouds!
He also wanted to stand on the high stage!
But, what qualification did he have to stand up there!
This is how he was!
No prominent family background, no notable reputation, and no outstanding abilities.
He only knew a bit about playing basketball, just a little!
And now, Zhang Fan and the people around him!
The successor of the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Feng!
The wealthy offspring from the prestigious families of the Capital City, Dong Yu, Hua Ji!
Even those who surrounded them were miles better than him!
What face did he have to stand beside Zhang Fan and call him brother!
At that moment, scenes flashed through Gao Qi’s mind.
At seven years old, he snuck into Liu Dazhuang’s orchard in the neighboring village with Zhang Fan to steal oranges and ended up being chased ten blocks by Liu Dazhuang’s dog!
At eight years old, he went to the creek with Zhang Fan to catch crabs, fell into a water pit, and got pinched multiple times by the crabs hiding in the cracks of the rocks.
At nine years old, he climbed a tree with Zhang Fan to grab a bird’s nest, the tree broke, and both of them fell hard into the field, eating a mouthful of dirt!
At ten years old...
"What happy times those were," Gao Qi’s voice was very light, although still only he could hear it clearly in the dead-silent court.
"Buzzing!"
The vibration sound of a phone suddenly rang under the basketball hoop.
Gao Qi slowly got up from the ground and walked over.
At the moment he saw the caller ID label, Gao Qi’s breathing became rapid.
Gao Qi squatted down, his strong right hand trembling uncontrollably at this moment.
"Gao, where are you?"
The familiar voice carried a hint of urgency!
Like a thunderbolt from the Nine Heavens striking the depths of Gao Qi’s heart.
"I..."
At this moment, Gao Qi didn’t know how to answer!
"Cut the crap, just tell me where you are, I’m coming to find you!"
Zhang Fan said truly, running towards the bike he borrowed from Xu Xingwang.
"I’m playing at the school court," Gao Qi took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.
"Okay, see you in twenty minutes!" Zhang Fan hung up the phone.
"Mom, I’m going out for a bit!" Zhang Fan shouted, riding the bike and speeding off.
Seeing this scene, the three friends of Huang Shansheng, who were drinking tea, stared with round eyes.
"Damn, is this kid going to disappear again for a few months?"
"Don’t, bro, you can’t just mess with people like that."
Li Liang’s voice was trembling.
And at this moment, on Gao Qi’s side, sitting on the ground, his whole body was boiling with excitement.
Zhang Fan hadn’t forgotten him, he hadn’t!
"Why did I run back then?" Gao Qi also gave himself a hard slap.
At that moment, his face showed a look of panic.
Like being caught by a teacher after skipping class as a child.
Zhang Fan is smart! He knew since childhood!
Now, Zhang Fan was calling definitely because he suddenly ran away halfway.
"What should I do, what should I do! Fan is coming, how should I explain!"
Gao Qi looked around in a panic, seeing no one around him, he became even more flustered.
Then, he stood up, picked up the basketball that had rolled into the corner, and threw it towards the hoop.
Then, he dashed out with all his might.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Bang!"
The silent night sky was struck by bursts of sound!
"Thud, thud!"
Twenty minutes of intense dunks, sweat the size of beans slid down Gao Qi’s cheeks, dripping to the ground.
In twenty minutes, aside from dunking, Gao Qi didn’t make a single shot.
"Haha! Your skills have regressed a lot!"
A light laugh suddenly sounded.
Right after, a figure sped over like lightning.
The basketball flying towards the backboard was suddenly caught by a hand in mid-air.
Then, the figure in the air rotated one hundred and eighty degrees.
That hand stretched towards the basket and slammed it down hard.
"Boom!"
An extremely dull sound suddenly rang out.
And at that moment, the entire basket suddenly shattered.
"Boom!"
The basketball that hit the ground also exploded under Zhang Fan’s incredibly violent force.
"BOOM!"
The sound of the explosion abruptly erupted.
In the quiet night, it was infinitely magnified.
Countless people who were already lying in bed, preparing to sleep, were startled by this violent explosion.
"Damn, was that an earthquake!"
"What the hell exploded?"
"Thud, thud, thud!"
Countless people, regardless of gender, rushed out of the dormitories.
"The sound seems to be coming from the court over there."
"Let’s go check it out!"
The silent night instantly lit up.
Countless people rushed towards the court.
Being shocked by Zhang Fan’s sudden appearance and violent act, Gao Qi suddenly woke up.
Hearing the noisy sounds, Gao Qi also took off running.
"I’m really impressed by you, are you part of a demolition team or something! Why are you still standing there, run, or you’ll get beaten!" Gao Qi shouted!
Instantly, Zhang Fan followed closely behind Gao Qi, sprinting away!
Soon, countless curses erupted.
"Damn, who lacks public morals, did the basket offend you at this hour?"
"Do you have any decency?"
"Damn, I thought something exploded. Damn, don’t let me catch you, or I’ll make your life miserable."
At this moment, hiding in the darkness, Gao Qi was trembling.
"Hear that, so many people want to kill you!"
"I was just dunking casually, who knew the hoop was so weak!" Zhang Fan said, squatting with an innocent face.
"Haha! I don’t believe you for a second!" Gao Qi said, then shouted softly.
"Damn, my phone!"
"I don’t care, you go get my phone back! That was bought with a month’s worth of my wages." Gao Qi yelled!
