Chapter 12: A Bird with Wounded Wings!
"I refuse." When Gu Lan and Wang Quan found Lin Mu and expected Lin Mu to let Gu Beicheng help them out, Lin Mu, who had figured out the reason, gave them a refusal reply without thinking.
As for why you refused, there are actually three reasons.
The first reason for the refusal was that it was the king's excessive language in the post bar that caused this contradiction. If Wang Quan is a man who dares to take responsibility, then Murong Bei should take the initiative to fight the duel agreed upon, instead of hiding behind Gu Lan like now.
The second reason for refusal is that he doesn't want his good brother who grew up with him since childhood, because of these things that have nothing to do with him, get involved in some unnecessary disputes.
And the last reason for rejection is also related to the second reason.
He had heard of the reputation of the demon king Murong Bei, who used to be the main power forward of the school team of the famous basketball school Beigong Academy. But in his sophomore year of high school, because of the violent incident, he was not only kicked out of the basketball team, but also dissuaded from the school.
After that, he came to the basketball weak school Beijing University High School to study.
This kind of senior with violent tendencies, he is a little worried that he will cause trouble for Gu Beicheng's basketball team, which has all his hopes.
Therefore, he rejected the proposal of Wang Quan and Gu Lan.
However, Lin Mu still regards them as friends and has a sense of responsibility as a squad leader.
He decided to take Gu Lan and the little fat man to the basketball court at noon to apologize to Murong Bei and the others.
Of course, Lin Mu's decision is a cowardly behavior in the eyes of many young and vigorous students.
However, right is right and wrong is wrong!
Since the little fat man is at fault first, then he must take the initiative to apologize!
This is the creed that Lin Mu has been taught by his mother since he was a child!
Time came to the end of school at noon, Lin Mu pulled the reluctant Gu Lan and Wang Quan to finish eating in the cafeteria first, and then went to the basketball court.
He looked for Murong Bei on the basketball court.
Soon he found Murong Bei's location, and he happened to be nicknamed the "Four Great Dharma Kings of Mingjiao" by Wang Quan, and the other three were there, watching them show off the aristocratic atmosphere of killing Matt... Lin Mu pulled them up and plucked up the courage to step forward and apologize.
Murong Bei looked at the three of them with a little surprise, and also looked at Wang Quan and Gu Lan with a reluctant face, as well as at the strange boy in front of him who was full of courage.
He was a little lost psychologically, but he admired the courage of this strange boy to be responsible as a class leader.
"In the future, be careful not to talk on the Internet! Remember! Everyone is responsible for what they say! ”
Because Murong Bei admired Lin Mu's courage, he decided to let the little fat man and Gu Lan go.
Listening to his decision to reconcile, Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the little fat man was the same, because, at the lunch meal, Lin Mu told the reason why Murong Bei was dropped out of Beigong Academy, which frightened him who had always been an "Internet troll".
However, Gu Lan did not breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Although she had also heard about Murong Bei's violence from Lin Mu's mouth, why did the feeling of escape make her afraid and feel humiliated?
She looked at Murong Bei numbly After saying this, she continued to occupy the basketball court and play basketball, her small fists clenched tightly.
"Senior Murong Bei!"
Gu Lan didn't know why he suddenly called out Murong Bei's name.
"What?" Looking at this girl with clenched fists, Murong Bei felt a pang of disgust in his heart.
For this girl who is as persistent as a stunned girl, Murong Bei just feels very annoying for some reason.
Obviously, a lot of things are none of her business, so she has to stand up! Obviously, many so-called rules have been imperceptibly imprinted into everyone's hearts! But why does she always want to destroy!
All of this is just like him back then!
Form 2 and childish!
"You said... Only... As long as we win in basketball, we will give our freshmen a half, right? Gu Lan looked at Murong Bei, who had an unkind face, and stammered timidly.
"Yes! Do you think you've won me over, though? ”
Murong Bei looked at the girl and smiled angrily.
"Even if you can't win... I'm going to try it too! Looking at Murong Bei's mocking smile, Gu Lan took a step and said with courage.
"Don't waste your efforts, hurry back to your class for lunch break!" Jin Jie, who was on the side, looked at the girl and kindly persuaded him: "He's not me... It's because you're a girl... Will release water on you! ”
Gu Lan listened to Jin Jie's words and didn't speak, her gloomy face, slowly walked to the basketball court, and picked up the basketball in front of everyone.
Standing outside the three-point line and throwing hard towards the basket, her standard three-eight push-shot posture made the ball turn into a straight line in the sky.
Then, the ball smashed hard in the center of the rebound, and then the ball was bounced off by the huge rebound force and did not go into the net...
looked at his original three-point shot, which was bound to be the most confident, but he didn't go in.
Gu Lan's pretty little face flushed... Looking at Gu Lan's violent aesthetic basketball.
Everyone on the basketball court, including Lin Mu, forced back a smile.
"You'd better forget it..."Murong Bei waved his hand and continued:
"A girl like you, who wants to be tall but not tall, who wants to have no body and no technology. Let's stop playing basketball. It's a complete waste of time..."
"Also, if you don't have the strength, don't learn from others. Because, forcing your head out will only become our laughing point..."
Gu Lan listened to these words that hurt her self-esteem, and she didn't defend herself, nor did she feel humiliated.
Because, she had heard too many such words since she was a child, she just stepped forward and picked up the basketball, looked at Murong Bei and said seriously:
"I can. Let's go heads-up! ”
"Can you? What can? Basketball? Or do you want to learn from the main characters in those anime to force your way out? Murong Bei mocked unceremoniously.
"I can do it all!" Gu Lan gritted her teeth and insisted on her principles.
"Oh well! Since it doesn't make sense, I'll let you see the gap in basketball! Looking at Gu Lan's gritted teeth, Murong Bei became even more disgusted with her.
"Come on! If you score one goal out of 10 goals, I lose! ”
"Then I'm coming!" Hearing this, Gu Lan slapped the basketball and rushed towards Murong Bei, who was like an iron wall, with persistence, dreams, perseverance, and the principle of never admitting defeat and never compromising in her eyes.
However, no matter how persistent she is, no matter how much she has dreams, how can she never admit defeat?
Basketball is not a sport that can win with perseverance and the spirit of not admitting defeat!
It requires skill, speed, physical confrontation, height and talent!
And those aspects are all lacking in Gu Lan.
She is just an ordinary girl with no basketball talent, just an ordinary girl with a height of only 160, and she is just a basketball girl with dreams and enthusiasm!
Naturally, already, nine balls.
She didn't score a single goal.
Moreover, she is also embarrassed.
She fell several times, and because of the strength gap between herself and Murong Bei, she fell in the air a few times and fell heavily to the ground.
She is like a bird with a wounded wing, trying to fly but never flying in the open sky.
However, she is also like the bird with an injured wing, even if she understands that she can't fly now, she will keep trying! It's useless to do it in everyone's eyes!
This duel made the sophomores and juniors in the entire stadium stop the basketball in their hands and come to watch, they watched this bullfight like a slaughter, and they were silent.
Although the girl on the field who was alone with the "Demon King" Murong Bei was full of ugliness, she had the courage to get up every time she fell, and there was a trace of perseverance in her eyes. It all hits them right to the heart.
They looked at Gu Lan, who had the last ball left, and Murong Bei, who was full of firepower and obviously wouldn't release water.
They were no longer silent and desperately cheered for the girl.
The girl listened to the cheering sound and looked at the seemingly invincible "demon king" in front of her, she jumped up again and threw the clumsy three-point shot at the beginning!
The curve of the 38 push shooting posture is finally no longer a straight line, and finally turns into a perfect curve in the sky!
However, the Demon King Murong Bei would never release the water, he jumped up lightly, stretched out his hand and easily grabbed Gu Lan to shoot the most perfect three-point shot...
Announcing the defeat of Gu Lan...
Seeing that his perfect shot was easily intercepted by the opponent, Gu Lan felt the urge to cry...
Because, she lost again...
Moreover, this time she lost in full view of everyone...
Really. Birds with injured wings are still unable to fly...
She looked at Murong Bei with a gloomy face, and she held back her tears...
No crying...
As she lowered her head and prepared to leave the field like a loser, a voice rang out from the court.
"Senior Murong Bei! Does the 10 goals you just said still count? If so, can you give me a challenge? ”
She raised her head, her eyes were red and she looked at the person who said this, she saw Lin Mu walking towards the court, his face was also gloomy, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes!
