Chapter 575: Chapter 571: The Proud Fatty

"We are also very happy to meet you."

"Brother Xiao, you play basketball so well. Could you teach us a bit?"

"Yes, yes, Big Brother Xiao, are you in a professional basketball team?"

"......"

Xiao Yi, who was already Wang Xiaohu’s brother, had such excellent basketball skills, these young boys initially held him in awe, but to their surprise, Xiao Yi turned out to be so approachable and easy-going. After exchanging incredulous glances, they felt a surge of excitement and their courage grew, bombarding Xiao Yi with questions loudly.

Xiao Yi hadn’t expected that they would ask the same questions as Wang Xiaohu right off the bat. Hearing their eager voices and seeing the hopeful looks in their eyes, a slight embarrassment appeared on his face, unsure how to respond.

"Pfft, get out of here. Big Brother Xiao didn’t come here to play basketball today."

As Xiao Yi was at a loss, Wang Xiaohu finally snapped out of it and teasingly scolded the other boys with a laugh. His face regained its brightness, and the mindset of a youth, who gets upset quickly but also recovers quickly, took over. Even though Xiao Yi’s talent had indeed intimidated him, the thought that such a talented guy like Xiao Yi was his big brother, and possibly his future brother-in-law, somebody on his side, replaced his dejection with another kind of excitement.

Seeing Xiao Yi looking embarrassed by their questions, almost as if he was about to admit he couldn’t play basketball, he quickly stepped in to stop them.

After all, there was still a bit of competitiveness in the young boy’s heart, he didn’t want them to know that it was Xiao Yi’s first time playing basketball. He hoped they would regard Xiao Yi as a basketball expert, which would make them respect him even more when they knew he had such a powerful big brother. Since Xiao Yi was brilliant and skilled at the game, he was confident he could bluff them.

Xiao Yi felt relieved when Wang Xiaohu stepped forward to speak, and he held back what he had initially wanted to say. Truth be told, dealing with this group of young teens was something he had no experience with, making him feel out of his depth.

"Young Master Wang, that... Wang Xiaohu’s big brother seems pretty amazing too, right?"

Not far away, a young boy next to the hefty boy, watching the lively chaos around Xiao Yi, particularly noticing the imposing demeanor of both Xiao Yi and Situ Qingfeng, couldn’t help but show a worried expression.

The other young boys also showed signs of concern on their faces.

Xiao Yi’s basketball moves had indeed shocked them, and being young lads inclined to be active and playful, they played basketball themselves too.

"Hmph, it’s just playing a bit of basketball, what’s so great about that? We are not competing in basketball, but in gaming, where it’s about observation, intellect, and quick reflexes!"

The hefty boy’s eyes revealed a hint of envy as he sneered.

"Exactly, that’s right!"

"Indeed, a person with developed limbs and a simple mind like him definitely can’t handle gaming!"

"Yes, hmph, looking at that smug look on Wang Xiaohu’s face, I really want to see what it will look like when he has to bark like a dog later!"

"......"

Hearing Young Master Wang’s words, the boys next to the hefty boy quickly reacted, their dejected expressions disappearing as they became increasingly excited, showing disdain and ridicule on their faces.

"Let’s go over there."

Listening to his companions’ words, the chubby boy’s face also displayed a triumphant smile. Looking ahead at Wang Xiaohu and Xiao Yi, a sneer appeared in his eyes as he stood up and walked towards Xiao Yi.

"Wang Xiaohu, everyone’s here now. Can we start the match?"

The chubby boy, leading a group of youths, came straight to where Wang Xiaohu was messing around with his friends. He raised his voice and looked disdainfully at Wang Xiaohu as he spoke coldly.

"Match what?"

Situ Qingfeng, who was initially chatting with Wang Xiaohu—an obviously close friend of Xiao Yi—and his companions, had just introduced himself and started a conversation when he was interrupted. Already quite annoyed, and seeing the audacious appearance of the chubby boy, who dared to speak so arrogantly like a proud little rooster in front of him, his irritation mounted instantly. His most prominent trait was his pride; apart from Xiao Yi, what he disliked the most was someone being even more arrogant or prouder than him in his presence. Almost without hesitation, he was ready to reprimand this reckless chubby boy.

But just as he burst forward and before he could speak, Xiao Yi pulled him back.

Xiao Yi looked at the youth who was speaking so loftily and slightly furrowed his brow. He wasn’t too pleased with this chubby boy’s impression either, but he wasn’t as impulsive.

Although this chubby boy was a bit arrogant, he was still just a middle school student, after all, just a kid. Xiao Yi figured he was probably just some spoiled kid from a wealthy family who thought the whole world revolved around him and lacked manners. There was no need to bother with him.

However, he did become a bit curious about what he had said, looking at Wang Xiaohu strangely.

"Big Brother Xiao, this chubby boy wants to challenge you to a one-on-one game!"

Since he hadn’t fully clarified things with Xiao Yi earlier, Wang Xiaohu felt a bit guilty, slightly embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "I...I couldn’t stand it, so I took it up for you."

"Oh."

Xiao Yi finally understood, no wonder the other boy had called him in such a rush, insisting he come over. It turned out he had taken up a battle for him.

Looking at Wang Xiaohu, who was hanging his head like he had done something wrong, Xiao Yi said with a bemused smile, "So, that’s what you called me over for."

"Hmph, don’t tell me you’re too scared to accept? If you’re too scared, say it now, but remember, Wang Xiaohu will have to keep his promise and crawl around the basketball court!"

The chubby boy, seeing the expression on Xiao Yi’s face, thought that Xiao Yi was scared to accept the challenge, his mouth curving into a smirk of contempt.

"Hey, you little fatty, watch how you speak!"

Situ Qingfeng could no longer hold back and burst out; he was simply furious, almost wanting to go over and slap the chubby boy right then. Dammit, how dare he speak to his boss, Situ Qingfeng, like that?

But his action was again stopped by Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi’s brow furrowed once more as he looked towards Wang Xiaohu and his group of friends.
