Chapter 174 Just Take It As Material
The open-air basketball court of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School is located in the northwest corner of the school.

Standing on the north wall of the basketball court and looking out, you can see the wide Yin River flowing by the side of the road.

Occasionally, you can see ships passing under the cross-river bridge.

The basketball courts are all made of concrete, with a total of five courts planned side by side and ten basketball hoops.

In the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School, there are more than a hundred members in the basketball club. Almost anyone who can play basketball has joined the basketball club.

However, at least 50% of the people here cannot be considered members of the basketball club in the true sense. At most, they are idle people like Li Luo who occasionally participated in a few basketball activities after joining the club.

The remaining thirty or forty people, including some senior high school students who have already quit the club, are the real members of the basketball club, but they are the ones who are in charge of the basketball club activities this time.

For example, Zhu Yufei, Lin Yuan, and Zhang Guohuang from Class 8 are like this.

The three of them were responsible for the most remote basketball hoop in the northwest corner. They took turns arranging time to teach the students who came to experience basketball how to shoot.

For ordinary boys, let them shoot free throws at the free throw line.

If girls can't make any shots from the free throw line, let them stand directly under the basket and find a 45-degree angle, which is the most suitable angle for rebounding and scoring a goal, and let them try it out.

Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang actually enjoyed it.

Although they don't have any girls they like for the time being, they are still quite excited inside.

When some girls came to line up to play ball, the two of them simply stayed there and didn't go anywhere else.

He would do a three-step layup from time to time, acting cool while enjoying the admiring looks from the girls.

As for Lin Yuan, with the help of his two good brothers, he stayed here for more than half an hour and then slipped away to accompany Hua Xiuxiu to other club activities.

However, the basketball hoop that Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang are responsible for is the farthest one from the entrance of the basketball court.

So by around three o'clock in the afternoon, gradually fewer people came to line up here.

Especially the two basketball hoops closest to the entrance, where members of the school basketball team were showing off, and many girls were intercepted there.

For many girls, playing on the basketball court is more about watching the handsome guys playing basketball than having to shoot the ball themselves.

So when Li Luo brought Xu Youyu to the basket in the northwest corner, Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang had been playing bullfighting here for a long time.

"Hey, class monitor, why are you here?" Zhu Yufei was the first to notice Li Luo's figure. He immediately raised his eyebrows and then set his eyes on Xu Youyu. "This seems to be... a senior in the second year of high school, right?"

"Now that you have met the famous student union president, why don't you come over and greet him?" Li Luo said with the power of a bully.

"Are you childish?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, "I just came over to play for a while."

Some people in Class Eight knew that in addition to having a good relationship with the two girls Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi, Li Luo also had a good relationship with the president of the second year of high school.

It is common to see them eating together in the cafeteria.

When day students get off school, they often see Li Luo, Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu going home together.

So Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang didn't find it strange to see Xu Youyu coming.

But Zhang Guohuang asked curiously: "Didn't Yan Zhusheng follow you?"

"She's playing in the rock club."

"No wonder." Zhu Yufei nodded and threw a basketball to Li Luo. "It just so happens that Zhang Guohuang and I are taking a break. You are also a member of the basketball club, so I'll leave it to you, senior sister?"

Li Luo caught the basketball, made an OK gesture to the two of them, and then looked at Xu Youyu: "Senior, we played once before, how do you want to play today?"

"What were they playing just now?" Xu Youyu asked curiously.

"Bullfighting." Li Luo said, "It means 1v1. Senior sister, do you want to do this?"

"Then I definitely can't beat you."

"You can add some limiting rules." Li Luo said with a smile, "You are here to play, so you can attack all the time, and I will just defend."

"Not enough." Xu Youyu shook his head repeatedly, "You blocked Xixi's shot really badly last time. When you raised your hand, I couldn't even get the ball to fly."

"You're really asking for too much." Li Luo rolled his eyes at her, threw the ball to her, and simply put his hands behind his back, "Is this okay? I'll give you two hands."

"This is good." Xu Youyu nodded with satisfaction, hugged the basketball, and stood outside the three-point line, "Then shall I start from here?"

"Come on." Li Luo walked up to her and stood still, with his hands behind his back. "Don't worry about the rules of traveling, but you have to keep dribbling the ball. You can't keep running with the ball, okay?"

"OK." Xu Youyu gestured to him, eager to try, "Then I'll do it."

Xu Youyu's personality is different from most girls.

She has a casual personality and doesn't mind the reserve and euphemism of some girls.

He is very relaxed when playing basketball. He rushes forward when he is told to, without any reservations about his movements.

Unlike some girls, who are shy when holding a basketball.

While Li Luo was thinking about this, Xu Youyu had already attacked to his left.

Looking at her fierce attack, Li Luo was also stunned.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Youyu had already passed the left side of Li Luo's body, ran quickly to the bottom of the basket with the ball, held the basketball with both hands, and threw it with force.

A shot with precise angle hit the backboard directly into the frame.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Xu Youyu asked curiously, "You're letting me win, isn't it too obvious?" "I wanted to let me win." Li Luo curled his lips, "but you launched a mental attack on me, and I was stunned on the spot."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Youyu returned to the three-point line with the ball in his arms, speechless. "Come on, at least show some respect, otherwise I won't feel anything."

"Okay, okay." Li Luo said with a smile, "Come on, I'm ready this time."

"Then I'm here."

Although he said he was ready, when Xu Youyu dribbled the ball and hit someone again, Li Luo couldn't help but take a few more glances.

In addition, he kept his hands behind his back and was unable to make any effective defense, so Xu Youyu kept walking.

So the second time she was able to get to the basket very smoothly and shoot directly into the basket.

However, this time, with Li Luo's defensive confrontation, Xu Youyu felt more involved. After scoring the goal, he happily gestured to Li Luo: "I scored another goal, can you do it?"

"Ah."

Li Luo stood back on the defensive line and said to Xu Youyu, "I have figured out your offensive tactics. Come on."

So the two of them quickly entered into rounds of attack and defense.

Under Li Luo's intentional control, Xu Youyu had a great time.

After just over ten minutes, she felt her mouth dry and her whole body hot.

It’s winter now, and I’ve taken off my coat, but I still feel warm even in my sweater.

Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang were watching the game on the bench nearby, clicking their tongues from time to time.

"The squad leader put the water in."

"This is not just releasing water, it's releasing it into the sea."

"Why don't we have girls like seniors to play basketball with?"

"Are you more awesome than the monitor?"

"Then my requirements are not high. Is someone like Ren Zheng or Xu Yinghuan okay?"

"Wow, you're exposed."

"I'm just giving you an example. For girls like Senior Sister, I think only Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng can fight."

"Isn't that the girl next to the class monitor?"

"Now that you mention it, it's true. He deserves to die even more than the protagonist of the book 'I'm Not a Celebrity'."

The two of them were chatting there.

The two people on the field were fighting back and forth.

However, Xu Youyu was already a little exhausted at this moment, and he quickly stopped the game. The two stopped playing bullfighting and switched to free throws and turtle crawling.

In the end, Xu Youyu was so tired that he waved his hand and walked to the bench, returning the court to Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang.

So the two guys went back to the bullfight with the ball, leaving Li Luo and Xu Youyu sitting on the bench to rest.

Drinking the water that Li Luo had given her earlier, Xu Youyu gulped down a big gulp and let out a comfortable sigh.

Then she turned to look at Li Luo, and seeing that he didn't seem to have brought any extra water, she asked, "Do you want some?"

"Not so good, right?" Li Luo glanced at the water bottle in Xu Youyu's hand. There seemed to be saliva from the senior student still on the bottle mouth. "You've drunk it all."

"You dislike me?" Xu Youyu raised his eyebrows and teased, "I don't care. Do you have mysophobia?"

"Not really." Li Luo recalled the days when he spent time with Xu Youyu in his previous life. This situation had happened before.

All we can say is that Xu Youyu is still the same Xu Youyu. Once he is recognized by her, he will not care about these details.

So Li Luo did not refuse anymore and took the bottle of water from her hand. However, he did not drink it directly from her mouth. Instead, he slowly turned the bottle upside down in the air and then caught the water with his mouth.

After taking a few sips, he returned the bottle to Xu Youyu.

"What do you want to play next?" Li Luo asked, "There are badminton and table tennis over on the playground."

"Forget about these two." Xu Youyu waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm almost dying of basketball, let's do something relaxing."

"Then let's go to the stalls and have a look?"

"Okay." Xu Youyu nodded, drank the water in one breath, threw the bottle into the trash can next to him, and stood up and said, "Let's go, just think of it as going on patrol and taking a walk."

"Does the student union president have any privileges?" Li Luo followed her and walked towards Houde Road. "For example, no need to queue or something?"

"You think it's nice, but where do I get the privilege?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, "I didn't even plan to play with you in the first place, it's all because of you."

"You were obviously having so much fun just now." Li Luo teased with a smile, "Who was playing basketball so enthusiastically just now?"

"You talk a lot." Xu Youyu pouted and said stubbornly without hesitation, "I made it clear before. You asked me to come and play. I just accompanied you."

Just treat it as material collection.

Xu Youyu thought so in his heart.
