Chapter 35 Christmas Eve Party

The night of December 12th is Christmas Eve. Before this day comes, many students in No. 24 Middle School have already arranged activities.Some go shopping, some go shopping, and some go on dates...

For Sun Jing, Christmas Eve or Christmas doesn't mean much to her, it's just an ordinary weekend in December.But this year's Christmas Eve is a bit different. Zhang Rui from the basketball team has already invited him. It is said that it is to celebrate the No. 12 Middle School basketball team's 4-game winning streak, and all the players will attend. The event fee is AA.

Sun Jing is a girl who likes to be quiet. Although she doesn't like this kind of gathering very much, considering that it is a group activity and a group gathering, she agreed without hesitation.

The meeting place was chosen at a fish restaurant on Renmin Road.According to Zhang Rui, the fish over there is very fresh and tastes good.

In the evening, Sun Jing returned home, changed her school uniform into a set of ordinary casual clothes, talked to her family, and went out.

The party was scheduled for 6:30 in the evening, and when Sun Jing arrived at the hot pot restaurant at 6:25, the box was already full of people.

Zhang Rui booked a large box, and the big round table can seat more than a dozen people. At this time, there were already 11 people sitting on the round table.

Sun Jing said with some embarrassment: "Everyone is so early, I am late!"

Zhang Rui, who was sitting next to Yu Dong, smiled and said, "You're not late, it's because we came earlier! Come, come, sit here!"

Sun Jing's position is between Song Bingning and Zhang Rui.At this time, Zhang Rui had already pulled the seat for her.Sun Jing thanked her, then sat down gently.

At this time, Zhang Rui said: "Now the big beauty is here, everyone is here, let's serve!"

Everyone agreed, and Sun Jing looked at everyone present, then turned to Zhang Rui and asked, "Zhang Rui, where are Ying Xiong and Li Jianwu?"

Zhang Rui seemed to have been prepared for a long time, he spread his hands helplessly and said, "You are too arrogant, please don't move!"

Sun Jing was not very convinced by his answer, and said, "The two of them are not like that!"

Zhang Ruidao: "I have invited them. It's because they don't give face, and I can't help it. If you don't believe me, you can ask Jianfeng, right Jianfeng?"

Wang Jianfeng said solemnly: "Yes, Ying Xiong and the others seem to have made arrangements, so they rejected us."

Zhang Rui added: "Sister, if you go back and ask Ying Xiong and the others, they will definitely bite me back and say that I have not invited them. Fortunately, someone will testify to me, otherwise you will think that I did not invite them on purpose. "

Seeing Wang Jianfeng's serious appearance testifying to Zhang Rui, Sun Jing thought maybe Ying Xiong and Li Jianwu were really involved, or they had other arrangements.At this time, she suddenly thought of a person, the round-faced girl she saw in Yuezhi that day, the "citizen" that Ying Xiong called.

"Maybe Ying Xiong and the others went to play with this girl. Looking at that girl, she seems to care about Ying Xiong very much! Yes, it must be like this!" Sun Jing said in her heart, she didn't know why, but she would think of this girl at this time .

Sun Jing didn't ask any more questions, and Zhang Rui called the waiter to serve.Zhang Rui is right, the fish in this restaurant is indeed very fresh, and the various dishes made with fish are also delicious.

At the dinner table, everyone was chatting about the 4-game winning streak, and of course they also praised each other.But Sun Jing always felt that something was missing. Without Ying Xiong and Li Jianwu, whether it was chatting or eating, it felt imperfect.

The meal lasted until 7:[-], and Sun Jing wanted to pay the bill, but was told that Zhang Rui had already paid the bill.Sun Jing asked how much she had spent in total, AA system, but was rejected by Zhang Rui.

Zhang Rui invited everyone present to sing at KTV, but Sun Jing declined, saying that she wanted to go home.Zhang Rui asked others to go to KTV first, and then took a taxi to send Sun Jing off, but Sun Jing declined again.

In the end, Zhang Rui talked about it and persuaded Sun Jing to take her to the station.

On the way to the station, Zhang Rui suddenly took out something wrapped in gift paper from his bag, handed it to Sun Jing, and said, "A Christmas present for you!"

Sun Jing stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Ruidao: "I like you, accept my gift?"

Sun Jing shook her head and said, "Thank you for your dinner today, I can't accept your gift!"

"Sister, you don't have any affection for me?" Zhang Rui asked.

Sun Jing said: "Why do you think that I will definitely have a good impression of you? Are you too confident!"

Zhang Ruidao: "It doesn't matter if you don't like me now, I will make you like me one day, please accept the gift!"

Sun Jing said: "Your logic is wrong, so I can't accept your gift. I'll go first, you have fun!" After finishing speaking, she left without looking back.

Zhang Rui was rejected by Sun Jing, feeling a little annoyed, and shouted at Sun Jing's back: "I will definitely catch you, I will!"

Christmas Eve was not safe for Li Jianwu. Since he was completely rejected by Gao Xiulian two days ago, he was in a very bad mood, taciturn, typical symptoms of broken love.

As his good friend and roommate, Ying Xiong can only comfort him and try to divert his attention.No, the two played basketball with others on the open-air basketball court near No. [-] Middle School at night.

After exercising, he sweated all over and was exhausted. Li Jianwu felt better and fell asleep soon after going back to the dormitory and taking a shower.

On Christmas the next day, the two had nothing to do in the dormitory.Ying Xiong thought of "Little Iverson" Xu Bin from Class 7, and remembered that he had promised him to play together, found his contact information, and made a phone call...

Xu Bin was overjoyed when he heard that Ying Xiong was looking for him to play!Ying Xiong has now become a super star in the high school basketball world, as hot as Zhang Rui, the "No. [-] Middle School Rukawa Kaede". It is so rare for Ying Xiong to find him to play!
Xu Bin immediately agreed and told Ying Xiong that he would find a venue and personnel.

After discussing with Xu Bin, Ying Xiong pulled Li Jianwu up from the bed and told him to play basketball, so that he would not be sad in the dormitory alone.

Li Jianwu is very grateful to Yingxiong for thinking about him everywhere. Basketball has relieved his mood a lot, and he no longer has to be entangled with Gao Xiulian.

During recess on Monday morning, Sun Jing came to find Ying Xiong, and the two walked to the end of the corridor together.

Sun Jing cut to the chase and said, "Ying Xiong, I have something to ask you, I hope you will tell me the truth."

"Ask!" Ying Xiong was also straightforward.

"Did Zhang Rui invite you to the basketball team's party on Christmas Eve?" Sun Jing asked.

Ying Xiong didn't understand why she suddenly asked this, and shook his head in denial: "No!"

Hearing Ying Xiong's answer, Sun Jing frowned slightly, and asked, "Did he not invite Li Jianwu?"

Ying Xiong replied truthfully: "No, Li Jianwu and I were together all the time that day. I can be sure that he has not received the invitation!"

Sun Jingxiu frowned and said: "That's even more strange. Wang Jianfeng said that he can prove that Zhang Rui invited you and Li Jianwu, and you rejected his invitation."

Ying Xiong sneered and said, "This Wang Jianfeng is really capable of telling nonsense with his eyes open."

Sun Jing said to herself: "Could it be that Zhang Rui is lying? Why is he lying?"

Ying Xiong asked back: "Squad leader, do you trust me?"

Sun Jing turned her head, looked at Ying Xiong's deep eyes, nodded involuntarily and said, "I believe it!"

Ying Xiong smiled, and then said: "Thank you!"

Sun Jing asked, "Do you have any feud with Wang Jianfeng?"

Ying Xiong shook his head and said, "Nor Zhang Rui!"

Sun Jing didn't ask any more questions, she already knew the truth, and that was enough.On Christmas Eve, she suspected that Zhang Rui was not telling the truth. If Wang Jianfeng hadn't testified, she would not have believed what Zhang Rui said.As for Ying Xiong, she didn't know why, but subconsciously believed in him.

The two returned to the classroom.Sitting on the seat, Ying Xiong's brain was spinning rapidly...

Zhang Rui was hostile towards him, so Ying Xiong could naturally feel it, but Wang Jianfeng...it seemed that he had nothing to do with him, why did he want to testify for Zhang Rui?Could it be because of his own performance that he didn't have the chance to play? ——This should be the most reasonable explanation.

Ying Xiong shook his head and stopped thinking hard.The truth may only be clear to the person concerned, and it doesn't make any sense to think about it.
