The coach watched Xu Liao charge around the court like a tank. Although he was amazed by Xu Liao's lethality, he also knew that this kind of pure physical play had a lot of limitations. Once he met someone with a stronger physique, this kind of play would be completely countered. However, he had no better choice. He gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh, and thought to himself, There's really no other way. I can only let Xu Liao play as the power forward. I'll give him more training these few days. Hopefully, he can improve his skills in the short term.
After discovering that Xu Liao, this "talent", was actually a monster, the coach finally decided on the main force of the team. After two games of practice, he announced the end of today's activities, and everyone could return to class.
Xu Liao had a great time playing basketball today. Originally, he didn't really like basketball, so he didn't have any requirements for playing on the court. However, after a few hearty games today, he kind of liked this kind of sport. Just as he was about to leave with everyone, the coach suddenly called out to him and said in a low voice, "You're in the third year of middle school, right?"
Xu Liao nodded. The coach said with a serious expression, "If our school team can enter the top ten of the national competition, we'll have a guaranteed spot for sports students from Bei Du Normal University's affiliated high school. The original main force has already withdrawn, and Hou Tao is only in the second year of middle school. If we can enter the top ten, this spot will definitely be yours. I know you're in the third year of middle school, and your studies are heavy. However, I also heard that your studies are average. According to your usual results, it'll be difficult for you to even get into a second-rate high school. Why don't you fight for this guaranteed spot? You should know that Bei Du Normal University's affiliated high school is the best high school in our city. "
Xu Liao couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He knew that with his academic results, he would probably be fated to enter a third-rate high school, or go to a technical secondary school, or even a technical school. In short, a first-class school like Bei Du Normal University's affiliated high school was definitely not for a slacker like him to think about.
Xu Liao's heart moved slightly. He suddenly remembered that Qu Lei had said many times that she wanted to apply for Bei Du Normal University's affiliated high school. His heart couldn't help but heat up, and he hurriedly nodded.
The coach also heaved a sigh of relief. There was a reason why the other third years were unwilling to fight for this spot. According to the strength of their school's team, the possibility of them entering the top ten of the national competition was extremely low. The main players of the third years were all good in their studies, so it would be easy for them to get into a good school. No one was willing to take this risk. After all, it was a matter of a lifetime.
After staying in the club for a whole day, when Xu Liao returned to the classroom, it was already the last self-study class in the afternoon. Many students who lived further away did not participate in this self-study class. They went straight home to revise, and there was no teacher to look after them.
Xu Liao glanced at Qu Lei's seat and found that Qu Lei was still there. He couldn't help but feel slightly relieved. He was used to it. As long as Qu Lei was there, his mood would be calm. However, he could only peek at her from afar. He definitely didn't dare to talk to her openly in the classroom.
Just as Xu Liao walked back to his seat and was about to pack his bag to go home, Gao Wenhu stood up, coughed, and said, "Xu Liao, I have something to say to you."
Xu Liao looked at Gao Wenhu in surprise. He really couldn't say that he was familiar with Gao Wenhu. If Gao Wenhu and Qu Lei weren't members of the same cosplay club, he would never have thought of interacting with this arrogant guy who always looked down on others. Especially since the two of them had some conflicts recently, Xu Liao didn't understand why Gao Wenhu would look for him.
"What is it?"
Xu Liao casually asked. Gao Wenhu chuckled and suddenly raised his voice. "There are two things! First, our cosplay club will stop activities for a period of time. In order to prepare for the high school entrance exam, there will only be gatherings for core members. Don't come to our club anymore. " Xu Liao's face immediately became ugly. Gao Wenhu saw the change in his face and continued with some pride. "Second, Qu Lei asked me to tell you that she doesn't need you to follow her after school. You'd better have some self-awareness."
Xu Liao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. This time, he didn't activate the Black Light Demon Qi.
He coldly looked at Gao Wenhu and suddenly raised his voice. "I like Qu Lei! Even if I didn't say it, I believe everyone knows. If Qu Lei doesn't want me to do something, I definitely won't do it. Just like when you wanted me to lose weight, I worked hard for three years and never complained. Why did you find this kind of person to pass on the message? "
The classroom was in an uproar. Everyone knew that Xu Liao liked Qu Lei, but no one thought that he would publicly confess in the classroom. The students who were a little nervous in the self-study class all cheered as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Many boys cheered loudly for Xu Liao. After all, this kind of thing required a lot of courage, and everyone was happy to see it happen. Even some girls looked at Xu Liao in a new light. They all showed expressions of amazement and whispered to each other.
Qu Lei, who was studying hard, didn't have any reaction when Gao Wenhu stood up to warn Xu Liao. It was only after Xu Liao publicly confessed that she raised her head slightly to stare at Xu Liao.
Xu Liao also went all out. He didn't dodge at all and stared back fiercely. He didn't care about Gao Wenhu at all.
Qu Lei persisted for a little while, then lowered her head and said in a very clear voice, "I didn't ask Gao Wenhu to say these words, but I don't want to delay my studies. After all, we're already in the third year of middle school …"
Qu Lei paused, then said indifferently, "If you want to continue chasing after me, then get into the affiliated high school of Bei Du Normal University!" After saying this, she packed up all the books on the table and stuffed them into her bag. Then, she hugged her bag and left the classroom.
The classroom instantly burst into laughter. Gao Wenhu also revealed a victorious expression.
They had been classmates for almost three years, so they all knew each other. It would be strange if Xu Liao could get into the affiliated high school of Bei Du Normal University with his academic results. Everyone took Qu Lei's words as a declaration to reject Xu Liao.
Xu Liao clenched his fists, but his eyes were slightly bright. He didn't say anything, packed his bag, and walked out of the classroom.
Gao Wenhu saw that his warning didn't achieve his goal, so he couldn't help but be angry. He really wanted to chase after him, but when he thought of Xu Liao's big build, he suppressed his anger.
Xu Liao quickly walked out of the school and saw Qu Lei strolling leisurely. She didn't seem to be in a hurry to go home. He wanted to chase after her, but he didn't know what to say. On the contrary, Qu Lei turned around and smiled sweetly, saying, "When we were in the first year of junior high, I said that I would consider being your girlfriend if you lost 60 kilograms. At that time, I didn't think that you would train so hard. I thought you would give up."
Xu Liao smiled, not knowing how to respond. Qu Lei smiled and continued, "Although you didn't manage to lose 60 kilograms in the end, I know that it wasn't your problem. No matter who it was, they wouldn't be able to lose so much weight after growing so much in two and a half years. I always keep my words, so I will give you a second chance, even if I don't think it's possible for you to do it. "
Xu Liao couldn't help but say, "What if I really do it?"
Qu Lei laughed and said seriously, "If you can do it, I will keep my promise and let you continue to chase after me."
Xu Liao's heart was filled with joy. Just as he was about to talk about the recommendation, Qu Lei turned around and said indifferently, "Although I'm touched by you, I still won't agree to go out with you, because I really don't like you enough."
Xu Liao's chest seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't breathe for a moment. He looked at Qu Lei getting further and further away, but he didn't chase after her …
