A Girl with an Owner?

The stands of the Capital Indoor Stadium.

Zhang Yang and Li Xingyu chatted as they watched the stadium before the game.

"About Chen Wu, I really didn't expect this," Li Xingyu said, head down. "We haven't seen each other for so many years, and it's all just hearsay. How was I supposed to know she actually looked like that?"

"Regretting it now?" Zhang Yang laughed.

He certainly wouldn't reveal the real story; he just said it casually.

"Of course I regret it," Li Xingyu slapped his thigh. "But all that's in the past. Now I just want to improve our relationship so that it won't be so awkward when we meet in the future. Mr. Zhang... can you teach me?"

"How can I teach you?" Zhang Yang waved his hand.

"Everyone's calling you 'brother,' so if you don't teach me, no one else will. Mr. Zhang, I acknowledge you as my brother, please teach your little brother." Li Xingyu earnestly asked for advice from the side.

The two were chatting idly when suddenly music started playing.

A group of long-legged girls wearing oversized basketball uniforms came onto the court and started dancing a pre-game cheerleading routine to music.

"Mr. Zhang, isn't the girl in the center position yours?" Li Xingyu asked with a smile, pointing in the distance.

Zhang Yang looked from afar.

Among the long, white legs, the long-haired girl in the center position is full of energy and is almost the focus of the entire event.

It was Shi Xuan, whom I hadn't seen for some time.

Standing in a group of beautiful cheerleaders, this girl's looks and presence immediately stood out, almost overshadowing all the other girls.

"It's her." Zhang Yang sent the message casually, looking down.

Anyway, I didn't tell her in advance that I was coming.

He had just raised his head when, without knowing whether Shi Xuan had noticed him, she smiled at him from afar.

The game ended a little over an hour later.

Zhang Yang and Li Xingyu went backstage together.

Not far away, a group of girls were standing together, their eyes filled with long, white legs, chattering excitedly in low voices.

"Hey? Who's that handsome guy looking for?" a girl asked with a smile, pointing over. "Has anyone claimed it? If not, I'll just treat it as unclaimed."

"Wow, this brother is so handsome! Hey? Shi Xuan, it looks like she's looking at you."

Amidst the light laughter of several girls, they pushed Shi Xuan forward.

"Zhang Yang?" Shi Xuan's face lit up with surprise, then she ran over and threw herself into Zhang Yang's arms in front of everyone. "Am I dreaming? You actually came to see me... How was it? Did I jump well on the court just now?"

"I was so busy watching your teammates," Zhang Yang said with a smile, putting his arm around Shi Xuan's waist.

"You're so annoying," Shi Xuan said softly, then leaned close to Zhang Yang's ear, "You were clearly staring at me without blinking, do you think I didn't see you?"

The two embraced and even kissed, oblivious to everyone else around them.

People were coming and going around, and many of them watched the scene unfold, unable to help but feel envious of the handsome man and beautiful woman.

"Young Master Zhang, Xuanxuan is truly devoted to you," Li Xingyu chuckled from the side. "I have some matters to attend to, so how about we part ways here today and meet again another day?"

He tactfully took his leave first.

He had barely left when a group of cheerleading girls swarmed around him, gossiping.

"Xuanxuan, aren't you going to introduce this brother?"

"You're hiding it, aren't you? That explains why you ignored those players from that team who tried to chat you up," a girl blurted out.

Several girls nudged her gently with their elbows to remind her.

"Hmm?" Zhang Yang looked at Shi Xuan.

"Actually, one of the players on the team asked for my contact information today, but I ignored him," Shi Xuan explained with a smile, kissing Zhang Yang's lips. "Although he's quite tall and handsome, he can't even compare to one of your fingers."

"I'd rather not be taller than a basketball player," Zhang Yang laughed.

His height of around 1.85 meters is naturally not comparable to that of professional CBA players, but being tall does not equal being handsome. It also depends on body proportions. Generally, 1.8 to 1.9 meters is closer to the perfect nine-head body proportion.

Moreover, this range is also considered the ideal height for men worldwide.

As for beyond two meters...

"Like a big monkey, it's not about being as tall as possible. Your height is the perfect height," Shi Xuan said, pressing against Zhang Yang's chest.

At this moment, in the players' tunnel, the players of today's Victory team are walking out in groups of three or five.

"Zhou Weilong, did you see the cheerleaders today? The one with the best figure..." Several players looked at the tallest figure among them.

"The girl's pretty aloof; she wouldn't give me her WeChat, but I told her I'd ask her again after we win this game," Zhou Weilong said with a smile, holding a basketball. "Don't worry, it'll be a piece of cake."

"Right? Hey? There's a cheerleading squad up ahead, why don't you go?"

A group of players stopped and looked at a group of long, white legs in the distance.

Huh?

Why are they huddled together?

Zhou Weilong stopped, frowned, and looked at the couple embracing in the distance.

The girl among them was his target for this trip. She was the most eye-catching one standing in the center of the cheerleading squad today.

The girl, who had been a bit aloof before, was now throwing herself into the arms of a man, who was so handsome it was almost blinding, and somehow just plain irritating.

"Zhou Weilong, looks like you're late." Several male players exchanged glances and teased.

"It's okay, you're already taken, you don't need to be short of girls."

Zhou Weilong didn't say anything, but walked closer and casually tossed the basketball he was holding over.

"Dude, can you do me a favor?"

The basketball crashed to the ground with a loud thud, and everyone around scrambled to get out of the way. The cheerleading girls also made way at the sound.

The basketball was right next to Zhang Yang in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yang, with his arm around Shi Xuan's waist, glanced at the ball and caught it casually.

"Whose ball is that?" He looked at the group of tall men in the distance.

"Dude, mine's mine." A figure stepped forward, looking at Zhang Yang with a half-smile. "Not bad, you've got a pretty good girl. How did you manage to get her? Teach me, will you?"

Shi Xuan glanced at the players in front of her and quickly whispered something in Zhang Yang's ear.

"Got it." Zhang Yang looked at the ball in his hand, rubbed it a couple of times, and then slammed it back without any warning.

Bang!

The basketball slammed into Zhou Weilong's feet and exploded.

"Come here, I'll teach you." Zhang Yang beckoned.

"Dude... I was just joking." Zhou Weilong's smile was forced and awkward, his eyes twitching.

Are you kidding me?

A guy who can smash a basketball with a single slap!

I'd heard rumors of NBA stars famously smashing basketballs with their hands, but those were just rumors. This, however, was real...

"I was just joking with you," Zhang Yang said with a smile. "Look how scared you are."

Beside her, Shi Xuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The cheerleaders also burst into laughter.

Now, not only Zhou Weilong, but all the CBA players who had just won the game felt their faces burning with embarrassment.

"Let's go." Zhang Yang didn't care about the player who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Players do earn high salaries; these CBA players might be earning an average of several million yuan a year. But so what? If they wanted to, they could even buy a CBA team to play with.

This is not on the same level.

"Xuanxuan, where are you going? Why don't you take us with you?" The cheerleaders' eyes sparkled with curiosity towards Zhang Yang.

"You're so clueless! Let's just enjoy some time alone," Shi Xuan said reproachfully. "Are you guys coming too?"

Despite saying that, Shi Xuan still quietly leaned on Zhang Yang's shoulder.

Should we let them go?

The two had agreed to go on vacation to Zhang Yang's Beijing Manor.

That place is too big; it would feel rather deserted if only two people went.

"If you don't mind, then bring her," Zhang Yang said with a smile, showing Shi Xuan complete respect.

Upon hearing this, Shi Xuan felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

"Then let them go together."

These cheerleading girls are all her classmates; they're all friends she sees all the time.

She also wanted to make a good impression on these people.

As for whether someone might secretly steal his partner, good heavens, how could we lack that much confidence?

Later that evening, a group of girls, like stars surrounding the moon, escorted Zhang Yang out of the gymnasium.

Behind them, the players started grumbling and cursing after everyone had left.

"Why the hell?!"

The more they thought about it, the angrier and more frustrated they became.

He's a player who earns millions a year, and girls always throw themselves at him. When has he ever been treated like this? When has he ever lost face like this? Especially in front of so many girls.

Why was none of you saying a word just now?!

"A whole bunch of grown men, have they gone mad?"

A group of people were pointing fingers at each other, and everyone was quite indignant.

Zhou Weilong felt a mix of emotions. He squatted down and looked at the mangled basketball. Furious, he got up, walked to the side, and grabbed the basketball.

"Zhou Weilong, hey, what are you doing?"

"I'm not doing anything!" Zhou Weilong used all his strength, imitating him, and slammed the basketball hard onto the ground as well.

Bang!

The basketball bounced up and hit him directly in the face.

The basketball was unharmed, bouncing and leaping into the distance.

Zhou Weilong let out a miserable scream, fell backward, and his face was covered in a mess of red, as if a dye shop had been opened.

··

Three cars, nine girls, and they made their way to the Beijing Manor.

As evening approached, a group of long-legged girls stood excitedly in the thousands of square meters of garden at the Beijing Manor, their faces flushed with excitement.

"Wow, Zhang Yang, is this your house? It's huge! Can we have a party here?"

"I can't even imagine how optimistic I would be if I lived here."

Zhang Yang smiled as he put his arm around Shi Xuan, welcoming the evening breeze, feeling that this was what life was all about.

What kind of grandmaster are you?

This life, with its wealth, entertainment, and carefree existence, is incredibly joyful. This is what it means to be so happy here that one forgets one's homeland. Liu Shan's (A Dou's) enlightenment is something most people can't comprehend.

The house was huge, but I always felt it was too big and empty.

Today, including him, there were ten people, all of them beautiful and lively girls who laughed and joked around.

Zhang Yang was in a great mood and waved his hand dismissively, letting the girls wander around the house.

With a simple phone call, they arranged for various ingredients to be delivered.

As evening fell, in the open-air garden next to the private banquet hall in the manor, a group of girls were busy grilling meat and preparing dinner.

Zhang Yang generously unlocked his private wine cellar, allowing them to drink as much as they wanted without looking at the prices.

"Mr. Zhang, and Mrs. Shi Xuan, please!"

A girl smilingly brought over the freshly grilled steak, and then rushed over to show it off.

"Don't call me that." Shi Xuan's face flushed slightly, a little embarrassed, but she actually quite pleased.

"Of course, of course. Even the richest landlords don't live like this. We know we're mainly here today because of you, Xuanxuan," the girl said with a smile.

Suddenly, a girl nearby screamed and held up her phone.

"This wine costs ten thousand yuan a bottle? How many bottles did you open?"

"Ah?"

Several girls who were sipping their drinks, their cheeks slightly flushed, were startled and stood up abruptly.

"Look how nervous you all are. I told you to drink as much as you want," Zhang Yang said with a smile. "Just don't be so extravagant as to pour alcohol all over yourselves and have a wet party... Of course, if you want to do it, that's fine too."

"Zhang Yang..." Shi Xuan gently tugged at Zhang Yang's arm.

Zhang Yang smiled and patted Shi Xuan's long hair. "Oh, right, go to my trunk and get a box from there."

Since it's all just a coincidence, I might as well distribute that box of luxury brand cosmetics I received during the day.

"Okay." Shi Xuan obediently got up and went to the underground parking garage.

Zhang Yang ate his tender and juicy grilled steak, watching the girls walk by, and then comfortably lay back on the deck chair.

A short while later, Shi Xuan came up carrying the box.

"What?"

"Let me see, let me see."

The girls crowded around, and soon they started shouting and yelling.

"La Prairie Platinum Cream! This one costs over ten thousand dollars for just a small bottle!"

"And The Ginza, the Orchid, the luxurious elegance of CPB... This is... Jenny Brown?!"

The girls watched with shining eyes, their voices filled with amazement, their eyes brimming with undisguised longing.

"Huh?" Zhang Yang hadn't looked closely at the contents before, assuming it was just something someone had casually brought over. Since the person hadn't even shown their face, he naturally didn't think much of it and just tossed it into the trunk as odds and ends.

So, all these things together are worth over a million.

After all, these are top-tier luxury skincare products costing over ten thousand yuan per small bottle; they're all high-end products.

Then it's not appropriate to just give it away casually.

"Want some?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile, looking at the girls in front of him.

Every single girl nodded in agreement.

"It depends on how you perform," Zhang Yang said casually.

"Handsome Zhang, could it be... you want us..." A girl boldly stepped forward, head held high, showing off her long, white legs and great figure in front of Zhang Yang. "Xuanxuan, don't overthink it. We're just playing around, we definitely won't fight you for her."

"Hmph, you can't beat me even if you try." Shi Xuan asserted her dominance without backing down, pulling Zhang Yang's arm into her arms.

"What do you take me for?" Zhang Yang laughed. "After dinner, we'll dance and go swimming to help digest. Hmm, these will be rewards for everyone."

As night fell, the manor remained brightly lit.

On the terrace lounge chairs, a group of girls were enjoying barbecue made with top-quality ingredients, along with drinks costing thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. Everyone was eating and drinking, feeling dizzy, as if they were in a dream.

After dinner, Zhang Yang lay on a deck chair and watched a group of girls lift up their basketball jerseys, tuck them into their waistbands, revealing their abs and slim waists, and perform all the cheerleading dances they knew in front of him.

Of course, Shi Xuan was the lead dancer, and her dancing skills were still unparalleled.
