basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 37
It took half an hour after all, Xia Kexin raised her head and smiled, "Thank you for staying with me for half an hour."

Lu Ziqiu shook his head, "Are you feeling better?"

Xia Kexin stood up slowly without saying a word.

Lu Ziqiu then got up, "Go back, don't worry your family."

Xia Kexin suddenly turned her head and looked straight at him, "Are you always so calm when you encounter things?"

Lu Ziqiu smiled slightly, "Sometimes you have to be calm, after all, I carry the whole team on my shoulders."

"What if you're not the general manager of the team?"

Lu Ziqiu said seriously: "There is no if."

Xia Kexin insisted on this topic, "There must be."

"Can't you change the subject?"

"No." As he spoke, tears began to roll.

"Don't, don't cry, I said it's okay?" Lu Ziqiu smiled wryly.

"Then tell me, I'm all ears."

"I might go crazy."

Xia Kexin bit her lip and fell silent, and asked after a long time: "Aren't you lying?"

"of course."

"So you don't think my mother was wrong, do you?"

"Ah."

"You are from the perspective of your parents, but what if you are from my perspective?"

"You are right, and your mother is right."

"Then who is wrong?"

Lu Ziqiu avoided her gaze and looked up at the starry sky, "There is no right or wrong, and there is no right or wrong."

Xia Kexin sighed, "Aren't you going to fight back?"

Lu Ziqiu looked back at her, "The best counterattack is to speak with grades, without grades, nothing can stop everyone's mouths."

"How can it be so easy?"

"persist in!"

Xia Kexin was stunned for a moment, "I've known you for so long, it seems like there's never been anything that can knock you down."

"Of course, it's just that my heart is relatively pure."

"It's just basketball, right?"

"Yes, wherever there is basketball, there is Lu Ziqiu."

Xia Kexin bit her lip, hesitated for a while, and looked up into his eyes again, "If I leave the team, will you be disappointed?"

Lu Ziqiu did not evade, nor did he lie to her, "I will be very disappointed."

"Is it because my psychological coach is missing?"

"No, because you chose to give up."

Xia Kexin dodged his gaze, "But if I stay, my mother might hate you."

"I can see that you enjoy this job."

"Because you gave us hope."

"Let's go." Lu Ziqiu said nothing more.

Xia Kexin nodded and took him to drive.

On the way, Xia Kexin suddenly asked again: "Do you think I should stay or give up?" Before he finished speaking, he added seriously: "I want you to tell the truth."

Lu Ziqiu stared at the front intently, hesitated for a long time but did not answer, because he simply couldn't continue.

"Have you hesitated? I've known you for so long, and I've never seen you hesitate."

"You should understand that everyone can give you advice on this matter, but I can't."

"But I just want to hear your advice."

"sorry, I do not know."

Xia Kexin smiled bitterly, "So you are not as decisive as you seem on the surface."

Lu Ziqiu nodded and said nothing.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"You said."

"Where's your family? I've known you for so long, and I've never heard you talk about your family."

"Weisen and I grew up in an orphanage, without any family troubles."

Xia Kexin's heart trembled, "I'm sorry."

Lu Ziqiu looked back at her and smiled slightly, "It's actually pretty good for me, isn't it?"

Xia Kexin nodded slightly.

Before you know it, the villa area is in front of you.

Lu Ziqiu said: "Call me when you get home, I want to make sure you got home safely."

Xia Kexin pulled over and stopped the car, wondering: "I will, give me two days, and I will tell you whether I will return to the team after two days, okay?"

Lu Ziqiu patted her on the shoulder, opened the car door in silence and walked down.

Xia Kexin bit her lip and kept looking at him until his back disappeared before driving away.

After returning, he ran to visit George as soon as possible, and sat with him until eleven o'clock before taking his leave.

Just entering the room, Diana, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, quickly jumped up and ran to him, "Is something wrong with Kexin?"

"She's fine, she's gone home."

"That's good, I'm dying of anxiety." We haven't known each other for a long time, but they have become good friends who talk about everything.

"How do you know about Kexin?"

Diana helped him sit down and poured him a glass of water, "Apart from Kexin's matter, what else could make you let go of Coach George suddenly?"

"Little girl, you are the only one with a good brain."

"What happened to her?"

"Don't inquire about Kexin's affairs. Let me ask you, have you settled the deal with Agni?"

Diana snorted, and sat down obediently, "It's all settled, and the formalities are being processed. I've asked the coaching staff to notify the three of them."

"What did they say?"

Diana shook her head, "General manager, is Agni going to buy them out?"

"Agni is not like us. They have too many high-quality chips in their hands. They can trade the three of them with any combination."

"That's true."

"By the way, what did Agni bring us?"

Diana smiled cheerfully.

Lu Ziqiu was taken aback, and couldn't help scratching her nose, "Looking at you like this, the chips must be close, let's talk about it."

"We got Han Bin and a little cash."

"Han Bin?" Lu Ziqiu was very pleasantly surprised, "How could there be Han Bin?" Getting Han Bin was great news for Lu Ziqiu.

"This is a four-party deal, involving 11 people in total."

"So that's the case, then I really have to thank Thomas and Li Hui." After saying that, he was about to take out his mobile phone and make a call.

Diana snatched it with a smile, "You don't have to fight."

"Why?"

Diana stood up, coughed twice, imitating Thomas' tone and said in an old-fashioned way: "Little girl, tell that brat that I've been very busy recently, and tell him not to bother me if he has nothing to do, oh no, Don't bother me if you have something to do, my head hurts when I receive his call." Learning to learn, he laughed out loud.

"It's not big or small." Lu Ziqiu couldn't help being amused by her.

Diana pouted mischievously, then sat down next to him suddenly, hugged his arm, and asked cheerfully, "How is it? Did I make this deal satisfy you?"

"not bad."

"Is there any gift then?"

"What do you like, go buy it yourself tomorrow night." Lu Ziqiu pondered for a while, then suddenly took out the credit card and stuffed it into her hand.

"Really? What if I maxed out my card?"

"Brother's card can also be maxed out?"

"That's true, haha." Diana put away her credit card with a smirk, but quickly said, "But Han Bin is so arrogant, it's hard to get along with others, general manager, do we have to think of a way?"

After she reminded, Lu Ziqiu felt a headache, "Let's see and talk, I hope Lan Feng can hold him down."

"That's hard to say. Han Bin is no better than Lin Sen. Although Lin Sen is rebellious, he is easy to talk to as long as he doesn't go crazy. But Han Bin is very competitive, and he can't be suppressed by the same method."

"Don't worry about that much for now, we will decide according to the situation when we come."
