Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 115 - 111. The beauty under the sunset!

In the second half, Huo Feng dominated on the court, fiercely and aggressively as if fighting for his life!

His form was possibly at its peak, even though he had already played several games, the extent of his desperation in the second half was astonishing!

As the small forward responsible for scoring, he chased the ball around the court from the start, evolving from a small forward to almost a center.

Whoever got the ball would see Huo Feng nearby and then hear him clap as a signal.

On the basketball court, a teammate’s clap meant they were ready to receive the ball, so you could comfortably pass it to them.

Thus, with Huo Feng actively moving all over the court, anyone who got the ball would immediately pass it to him. If he was far from the basket, he’d pass it to Lin Yuhao, who was good at outside shooting; if he was near, he’d shoot himself.

Whether it was Huo Feng or Lin Yuhao, both had a high shooting accuracy, so the game was tense, but not losing.

The scoring continued at a steady pace, always keeping up with or slightly below, or slightly ahead of the opposing team...

This last half of the game kept the onsite students at the stadium on edge, often holding their breath in suspense, and at times exploding in cheers!

It could be said that the students’ emotions fluctuated with every score and miss, shot made, and shot missed by Huo Feng’s team.

With 12 minutes in the half-time, nearing the last half minute, Huo Feng’s team and the Class 2-9 team were tied at 60:60.

In the last half-minute, whichever team scored next would own the victory!

And if it stayed tied, what awaited both teams would be overtime!

So, in that last half-minute, every player on Huo Feng’s team was deadly serious, not daring to slack off even for a second!

Similarly, the opposing players also ignited their inner fires, fully combating the final half-minute!

At the same time, the audience in the stands was also clenching their fists in tension!

Pu Sangzhi, Zhu Dandan, and Wen Miao were so silent that they did not dare make a sound, watching the court and the countdown intently without blinking.

At that point, Wang Chao still had the ball. The student opposite him was tall and sturdy, closely guarding Wang Chao to intercept the ball whenever he could!

Caught in a difficult position, Wang Chao could neither run with the ball nor stand holding it, and as the last 20 seconds ticked down, there was ample time for the opponent to make another successful shot!

Just then, beyond that big figure, Wang Chao saw Huo Feng clapping for the pass.

Without a second thought, Wang Chao ferociously bounced the ball off the ground!

Using the outer side of his hand, he angled the ball from beneath the big figure’s legs. The next second, it was caught by Huo Feng from behind!

Such a pass was rarely seen on the field, so right then, the big figure above failed to seize the last opportunity to intercept!

Once Huo Feng got the ball, he dashed furiously and turned toward the opposing court!

By then, even as the opposing players chased after Huo Feng,

The last 15 seconds were, for both sides, a time when every second was filled with hope, every second a miracle had to be created!

Huo Feng was quickly blocked ahead, and as he sidestepped, he was also caught up from behind by the big figure, surrounded and about to be overwhelmed, with only 12 seconds left...

Decisively, Huo Feng passed the ball, tossing it to Lin Yuhao who was a meter away!

Lin Yuhao leaped, jumping over the player defending him and caught the ball smoothly.

The entire passing process was fluid like water, well-coordinated, drawing applause from the whole crowd!

Watching, only 10 seconds left!

Lin Yuhao, good at shooting from the perimeter, stood still, aimed directly at the basket, and jumped to shoot!

A high arc shot left his hands!

9, 8, 7... the seconds counted down nonstop, and the basketball soared toward the opponents’ basket under the gaze of the entire crowd!

At that moment, everyone was holding their breath in anticipation!

Suddenly, the basketball soared high in a perfect parabolic trajectory toward the basket...

"Thud..."

The ball hit the backboard, bounced down, and fell on the edge of the basket...

All eyes were fixed on the basketball as it spun around the rim, teetering between falling in and rolling out, each possibility indicating a different outcome.

5, 4, 3... seconds were about to hit the final moment.

Just then, the basketball, rubbing the edge of the basket, thudded down into it!

2, 1 second!

The basketball dropped through the net, hitting the ground!

Thus, in the last 2 seconds of the game, victory was distinguished, the winner clear!

Class 1-7 and Class 2-9, the scores were 62:60!

Class 1-7 won!

"Ah!"

The moment the winner was determined, the entire gym erupted!

Huo Feng’s team leapt up excitedly, shouting at the top of their lungs!

They had won!

By a mere 2 points, they had bested the school basketball team!

It wasn’t just a sparkling victory—they had even avenged their previous humiliating defeat!

This battle was fought beautifully!

At that moment, the stadium was buzzing with noise and excitement.

The autumn sports meet concluded after this spectacular basketball game...

...

After the meet ended, the school leadership delivered brief remarks, awarded prizes, and took group photos...

Following a bit of official wrap-up, it was finally real dismissal time.

It was Friday, and after the sports meet, all the students could go straight home.

As wave after wave of students left, the campus gradually quieted down.

Pu Sangzhi, who had injured her foot, was carried home on Huo Feng’s back.

Despite her serious protests, refusals, and even warnings to Huo Feng,

she eventually couldn’t withstand Huo Feng’s persistence and was forcibly picked up...

After a vigorous discussion with Pu Sangzhi, he finally set her down and switched to carrying her on his back.

Having played a basketball game and still in his basketball attire, Huo Feng’s skin was icily cool; Pu Sangzhi’s arms sometimes touched his skin as she was carried on his back.

This unintentional skin contact made Pu Sangzhi feel awkward, finding it quite strange.

Huo Feng, elated from the victory, bragged all the way home, speaking arrogantly.

For example, "Let me tell you, I’ve been annoyed by that group from Senior Year 2 Class 9 since I first joined the school. I set a goal for myself to challenge them sooner or later. To stop their arrogance! Look, I easily took them down today! Don’t you think they’re trash?"

"I will pick on them specifically for practice from now on. I’ll defeat them daily until they’re totally demoralized!"

"By the way, I was really handsome today, wasn’t I? Come on, compliment me."

Pu Sangzhi listened to his endless chatter along the way, how he praised himself and belittled others, utterly smug!

Not wanting to let him get further carried away, Pu Sangzhi thought for a moment and then said, "Being good at basketball isn’t all that important. If you can surpass me in academic performance, I’ll compliment you."

"Hey!"

Huo Feng felt a pang in his heart from her words, "Madam Yu, can you stick in fewer needles? Spare me and Huo Ziwei, won’t you? My heart is practically bleeding out here!"

Pu Sangzhi chuckled on his back and said with a grin, "It’s your fault for being so conceited in front of me. I wanted to compliment you, but you already praised yourself to the skies. So, I just had to hit where it hurts to bring you back to reality."

"Ah... you’re playing that game?"

Startled, Huo Feng immediately responded, "Ah, I really am trash, aren’t I? Poor grades, cheat on tests, unloved by my parents at home, and totally ignored by the goddess at school, isn’t that just pitiful?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded with a smile, "It is a bit pitiful."

Damn...

Wasn’t he belittling himself? Why wouldn’t she compliment him?

Huo Feng’s eyes widened in shock, and he had to remind her, "Where’s the compliment?"

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but burst out laughing when she realized he was joking again.

"Hey, where’s the compliment?"

Huo Feng shook his shoulders to remind her, unable to resist turning to look at her.

At that moment, he turned his head, his gaze meeting Pu Sangzhi’s clear, bright smile.

The golden sunlight bathed her fair face, casting her delicate features in a picturesque glow. Her face looked flawless up close, with her refined brows, cute nose, and full lips.

Watching her smile with such pure beauty for those few seconds made Huo Feng’s heart race even more.

Their faces were so close, Pu Sangzhi could faintly feel his slightly rushed breathing.

Pu Sangzhi’s smile gradually stiffened, and she withdrew her head, increasing the distance between them...

"What are you doing?" she asked nervously.

"Just looking at you,"

Huo Feng said, "Can I give you a kiss?"

Pu Sangzhi pushed his face away without any hesitation, saying sternly, "In your dreams!"

Huo Feng: "As a reward for my victory, can’t I have a kiss? You don’t have to do anything; I’ll do it!"

Pu Sangzhi: "Get lost!"
