Boiling point

This feeling of unhappiness came out of nowhere, but it was fierce. It didn't go away until He Xin returned to the hotel. Xu Lan was lying on the bed listening to music. When he saw him coming back, he immediately took off his earphones and jumped up, "Where did you go? It's early in the morning." It's 01:30."

He Xin took off her clothes and said calmly, "Go out for a walk, are you still awake?"

Xu Lan sighed, "Insomnia."

He Xin smiled, "You actually have a day of insomnia?"

Xu Lan looked at him, pulled back the quilt and got out of bed and poured a glass of water, "I'm annoyed, what happened today, how can we play the game tomorrow?"

He Xin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, I will definitely be there, first and foremost."

Xu Lan bumped his fists with him and found that the temperature was not quite right, "Dude, why are your hands so hot? Shouldn't you be shivering from the cold after walking around outside in a shirt?"

He Xin took out a change of clothes from the suitcase, hung them on his shoulders, and waved at him, "I'm a hot-blooded boy, I'll get hot after running for a while, I'm going to take a shower, you go to sleep."

"Good night." Xu Lan got into the quilt, and just squinted for a while, he heard a knock on the door outside, he went out trembling and opened the door, and found Li Yanqi standing at the door, panting, with hair and clothes Some chaos.

"I just fell asleep." Xu Lan said, "You wouldn't be strolling outside so late, would you?"

"Really?" Li Yanqi frowned, looked around the room, and found a mobile phone on He Xin's bed, he was relieved and asked, "He's back?"

"Well, I'm taking a shower." Xu Lan pointed to the bathroom, "May I call him?"

Li Yanqi took two steps back, concentrating for a moment, then looked up and smiled as if nothing had happened, "No need, go to bed early, the game will start at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Xu Lan pulled Li Yanqi's arm and whispered, "How are you talking to Zheng Feng?"

Li Yanqi didn't answer directly, his eyes signaled his reassurance, then he pulled out a not-so-good-looking smile and waved away.

After returning to the room, he threw the medicinal wine to Zheng Feng, his tone was neither alienated nor enthusiastic, very light, "The finals are this Saturday, you will be a substitute tomorrow, if you are really needed, then I will send you to play, Saturday Your feet are almost healed in that match, if there is no problem with jumping, it will be officially on, and then we will discuss the strategy together."

Zheng Feng held the medicinal wine bottle, rubbed it with his fingertips, looked up at Li Yanqi and said, "You must be in a difficult situation today."

Li Yanqi lay on the bed, closed his eyes and said, "There is nothing embarrassing or embarrassing, it's the responsibility."

Zheng Feng was actually a little ashamed when facing Li Yanqi. He was a senior in high school and not a sophomore in high school. He was rational, and he could even be said to be impulsive. This is his temper, and he would say all kinds of nonsense in a hurry.

"I..." Zheng Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "He Xin and I are too similar in essence, both have impulsive personalities, so playing together will inevitably cause friction."

Li Yanqi opened his eyes and looked at him, paused for two seconds before saying, "You are different from him."

Zheng Feng is not a fool either, he can hear the indifference in Li Yanqi's voice very clearly, the matter is already like this, no matter how hard he rushes to explain it, it's useless, let it go, anyway, they finished the basketball game Just one shoot and two break up, there will be no other intersections.

Zheng Feng covered himself tightly with the quilt, and when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, he heard Li Yanqi seem to sigh deeply, talking to himself against the corner of the wall.

"I don't know why he is different."

He Xin came out of the shower and felt his head was a little heavy. Maybe it was because he had been washing for too long, and he was so stuffy in the bathroom. When he came out, he vomited into the toilet. His stomach was filled with acid water. He rinsed his mouth, He swallowed the foreign body sensation in his throat forcibly.

Xu Lan was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, she let out a sigh and reported the situation to him, "Li Yanqi came over when you were taking a shower earlier."

He Xin rubbed her hair and glanced at him, "What did he say?"

Xu Lan's voice was confused, "I didn't say anything, I let him in, but he said no."

"Oh." He Xin was a little disappointed, took out a cigarette in his pocket, turned around and went to the toilet to get rid of his addiction.

Xu Lan still had her eyes closed, and her reflex circle circled the entire Nanxi, and it took a long time before she added what she hadn't finished, "But he's been looking for you outside, and he was panting like a donkey when I opened the door. "

It's a pity that the sound insulation here is so good, He Xin leaned against the door and smoked, and didn't hear the important point that he was slurring in his sleep.

When the alarm clock rang the next morning, He Xin found that she couldn't get up.

First it was a headache, then a sore throat, and then he was tired and weak. When he got out of bed, he almost tripped and gave Xu Lan a bow and kowtow on the spot.

She hasn't been sick for several years, and He Xin touched her forehead while brushing her teeth, but still couldn't believe that she had a fever.

It's not the right time to burn.

The game at [-] o'clock in the morning, seeing that the time is coming soon, with Li Yanqi's meticulous captain's attitude, knowing that he has a fever, it is estimated that his end will be the same as Zheng Feng's. He will be isolated in the rest area and set up as a substitute .

Sitting side by side with Zheng Feng and looking at each other, that's quite a shame.

He Xin sneezed, splashed cold water on her face, stayed awake for a while, and then walked out pretending nothing happened.Li Yanxi didn't see He Xin when he went downstairs. According to Xu Lan, he went to the gym first when he woke up in the morning. He said that he ate too much last night and didn't want to eat breakfast now.

Li Yanxi passed by the mochi shop, turned back and bought two warm mochi for He Xin, and went to the supermarket to buy him a glass of lemonade. When he walked into the gym, He Xin was warming up, with nothing on his face The expression on his face revealed a strong sense that strangers should not enter the arena, and the little girl behind him who wanted to pass him water only dared to secretly photograph him in the stands.

He Xin found the flashing light, turned around and frowned slightly, and gestured to them to pause.

This action caused a burst of "cool" screams from the little girls.

He Xin was already dizzy enough, but he almost fell to the ground when he shouted so loudly. Fortunately, he caught a glimpse of Li Yanqi standing behind him from the corner of his eye. He made a backhand shot, the arm muscles and shoulders pulled out a very beautiful arc, and the ball went in with a swipe.

He Xinchou shamelessly praised his camouflage skills. He jumped up and down a few times proudly while leaning against the railing pretending to be indifferent. When Kei walked up to him, he tried to suppress his coughing.

"Breakfast." Li Yanqi handed him the mochi, staring at his face for a while without moving.

See it?He Xin glanced at him, and suddenly had nothing to hide from under his aggressive eyes. He took a sip of the mineral water beside him, "I'm not hungry."

Li Yanqi still looked at him, frowning more and more tightly.

"The kick-off will be in a few minutes." He Xin gave him a back view, "Let's practice for a while."

Li Yanqi heard a mighty roar coming from behind. The arrogant guys from the fifth middle school almost broke the floor of the gymnasium.

He Xin was doing stretching exercises on the side, and followed the rhythm of their slogans, complaining, "Five in five, the most handsome is only 5 minutes."

Li Yanqi smiled, put the breakfast aside, and went forward to discuss tactics with everyone.

Still the same sentence, I will try my best to guarantee He Xin's goal.

Don't give up any balls unless you have to.

The competition officially started, and the gymnasium was surrounded by crowds from the inner and outer third floors. The spontaneously formed cheerleaders were the first to compare their momentum. He Xin was hit by several different screams, and the manager of the organizing committee spoke. There was a buzzing in my head, and the dizziness stopped after I closed my eyes for a long time.

He turned his head and found Li Yanqi booing the audience with a microphone, "Can everyone keep quiet? Thank you."

Li Yanqi's smile is very lethal, and he has gained a lot of fans from practicing these days. Hearing him speak now, they are very obedient and quiet.

The players from both sides stood in the center of the basketball court, waiting for the referee to serve. During this time, no one spoke, but Li Yanqi, uncharacteristically, turned his head to He Xin several times and said, "Come on."

The referee blew the whistle, and He Xin rushed out at the end of cheering.

Feng Binrui successfully snatched the ball and threw it to Li Yanqi as planned. Li Yanqi ran back as soon as he got the ball. Several people jumped up and threw the ball to He Xin. Relying on tacit understanding, but also relying on the sensitivity to the ball and super high jumping ability, a group of people jumped up and down in front of He Xin, but he ignored it, jumped up steadily to catch the ball, turned around and threw it to the basket.

The start was a particularly perfect three-pointer.

"Fuck!" Xu Lan smiled and gave him a high five, "Awesome!"

Li Yanqi squatted down and put his hands on his knees to guard against others carefully.

This whole run made He Xin sweat a lot. It was hot and cold, but she became much more awake.

The game lasted five rounds, the score was tight, the two teams were evenly matched, and the situation was stalemate. Although Li Yanqi was responsible for protecting He Xin and passing the ball to He Xin, he also scored a lot of goals in the later stage. He hooked the ball with a backhand It is very powerful, sometimes the ball has already brushed his arm, and he can catch it back in one go.

At halftime, the score was temporarily evened.

The two teams went to both sides of the field to redeploy the battle situation. As soon as He Xin stopped, he felt a little nauseous. Li Yanqi glanced at him, brought him a bottle of water, and touched his arm calmly.

Terribly hot.

Li Yanqi sighed deeply, but remained silent.

"After the game, I guess they have to focus on He Xin with all their strength." Li Yanqi said, "Don't be impatient, grab the rebounds you can grab, No. [-] of the fifth middle school has a bad temper, and almost fouled a few times, follow-up depends on the situation, if He is still like this, we can use this to make free throws, He Xin is very stable in three-pointers, so the chance of scoring increases."

Xu Lan wiped his sweat, "Well, I don't think they are doing very well, my brother still speaks very well."

Feng Binrui said, "I think it's pretty awesome. Look at my leg, it's so bruised, and my elbow was almost broken by them."

After He Xin drank a bottle of water, her voice became hoarse, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Li Yanqi was silent for a while, then stood up, "I'm going to wash my hands too."

He didn't go in, but stood at the door watching He Xin retch for a while, washed his face with cold water, then slowly slid down against the wall, and buried his face in his knees for a while.

Soon someone came to the toilet, and He Xin stood up quickly. It was No. [-] of No. [-] Middle School. He squinted at He Xin and sneered. He Xin squinted her eyes and looked back arrogantly.

The second half of the game started very intensely. He Xin and the others lost three points in a row. The three of them were very capable of returning to defense. They stared at him alone. Get a ball.

The more anxious the mentality is, the worse it is, Li Yanqi said to him while running, "It's okay, take your time, there is still a chance."

He was behind until the penultimate round, when a group of people blocked him, He Xin broke through from the right side. He made a fake move and threw to Li Yanqi. Li Yanqi immediately understood, and then backhanded to He Xin. , The two came and went, drawing away the people who were sticking to them, He Xin gritted her teeth and rushed out, rushed through the crowd and scored a goal with a three-step layup.

There was a burst of shouts on the field in an instant, and after losing almost ten times, they finally scored a goal, which greatly boosted Xu Lan's morale, and they also cried out on the spot.

After throwing the ball, He Xin sat down on the ground and coughed violently.

His throat was sore and his head was burning so badly that he was going to be swaying when he walked, and he couldn't stand up for several times in a row.

Li Yanqi walked over and gave him a hand.

"I'm fine." He Xin lowered her head and steadied her footsteps, "I can still fight."

Li Yanqi's expression was not very good, but he still smiled at him, "You are the main force of our team, of course you can play."

He Xin said, "I will win."

Li Yanqi looked at him, feeling a little sore in his heart, "I know you will win."

In the winning and losing round, they still kept a close eye on He Xin in the fifth middle school. The first twelve middle schools chased for a few points, which made them fearful and no longer underestimated the enemy. Surrounded tightly by Xin, he fought back and forth for a ball for a long time, Li Yanqi glanced at him, and He Xin understood what he meant.

No. [-] hit him three times, pushed Li Yanqi several times, and injured Feng Binrui and Sun Wei.

This person is about to break through the moral defense line and foul again. He Xin rushed over from the other side, making a gesture to throw the ball in his hand upwards. He jumped up and swung the ball towards the person.

No. [-] was lured over in an instant, and jumped up with He Xin at the same time, trying to push his ball down.

Pressing the ball is not considered a foul, but No. [-] underestimated He Xin's jumping ability, he slid down before he could press it, but the ball was right in front of him, if he missed it, he would never have another chance.For a moment, his mind became hot, he pressed He Xin's shoulder recklessly, and then slammed into him hard.

"Foul!" Li Yanqi called a timeout, and the scene was in an uproar.

He Xin supported the ground with his hands to cushion it. Fortunately, he didn't fall too embarrassingly, but he was even more dizzy when he fell down, and there were small golden flowers around him when he opened his eyes.

The referee asked their team to make free throws. The score is currently at a fever pitch, and the twelfth hit is only two points away from a tie.

If they make a three-pointer this time, they will win the basketball game.

Li Yanqi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and looked back at He Xin.

"I shoot free throws."

The referee blew the whistle, Li Yanqi stood at the free throw line, took two shots of the ball, bent back and squatted down slightly.

He is not as skillful as He Xin and can shoot three-pointers casually. His free throw rate is even lower than Xu Lan, but this is an opportunity that He Xin desperately snatched. He must make it, definitely.

The audience was very quiet, and everyone held their breaths in anticipation of the final result.

Thin sweat broke out on Li Yanqi's palms, he took a deep breath, and slightly adjusted the angle of his elbows.

He Xin shouted in a hoarse voice, "Give it to me, and I won't be angry about what happened yesterday."

Li Yanqi closed his eyes, wanting to laugh at the inopportune moment. He held the basketball and looked at He Xin again.

The other party's face was pale, but his expression was still stretched.

"Come on!" Xu Lan shouted at him.

There were waves of cheering on the scene.

Li Yanqi raised his arms and growled, the ball was swept away by him.

The basketball passed through the basket along a straight and graceful arc, rolled twice and landed heavily, making an exciting sound on the ground.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Xu Lan broke his voice and rushed over to hug Li Yanqi, "We won!"

Li Yanqi smiled, and after being swung twice by him, to prevent others from hugging him one by one, he immediately crossed the crowd to find He Xin, who was leaning on the railing, laughing and coughing at the same time.

Player No. [-] was not reconciled to losing, and rushed over with enough anger to beat him up, "Did you deliberately draw me into a foul?"

He Xin looked at him madly, "If you haven't fouled before, and you don't have the intention to commit a foul in the end, you will definitely win this game."

"Fuck you!" No. [-] grabbed He Xin's collar and pushed him back.

Normally, this kind of person He Xin wouldn't even have trouble hitting ten times, but now he really doesn't have the strength, he was suddenly thrown by number seven, and instantly felt the world spinning.

Someone behind him supported him, put his arms around his waist strongly, then retracted and walked a few steps forward.

Then there was a bang, and He Xin heard the man's wailing.

He slowed down, and in a daze, he saw Li Yanqi stepped forward and grabbed the opponent's arm, twisted back, then kicked him in the chest, picked up the basketball on the ground and smashed it hard on him past.

"Fuck! Do you owe a fight?"

Li Yanqi said, "I'm the captain, I can't fight."

Seven glared at him viciously.

"But." Li Yanqi smiled and said word for word, "After the basketball game is over, if you want to play with me, I will accompany you at any time."

He Xin didn't know how she got back to the hotel, and she didn't know how she lay down on the bed. Her eyes were astringent, her head was dull, and there was smoke coming out of her throat. She was extremely uncomfortable.

He can't fall asleep even with his eyes closed. He seldom gets sick, not many times since he was a child, but every time he gets sick is a bad memory. Unless he is too sick to wake up, he usually doesn't show his sickness in front of others.

After staring at the ceiling for 2 minutes, He Xin pulled herself back from the chaotic boundary, recalling how Li Yanqi provoked people in the gymnasium just now.

He is so true to life, very cool and very *, I didn't expect him to be very scary when he played ruthlessly.

Ever since meeting Li Yanqi, He Xin has hardly seen him lose his temper. Even in the most difficult situation, he would choose a more rational way to deal with it, let alone beat someone up.

His impulsiveness was hidden too well, under his calm appearance, he accidentally saw the tip of the iceberg by himself.

He Xin suddenly felt that this kind of him... was a bit special.

The door was opened when his mind was in a mess, and the footsteps of the people who came in were very light. Even though He Xin closed his eyes, he could still hear him boiling water, washing towels, pulling the curtains, and making some small noises. The sound made He Xin feel very at ease.

It was completely different from what he felt when he was sick before. His room was no longer quiet and dull, and he was the only one left.

Li Yanqi turned off the light, walked to the bedside with a glass of water, and held a medicine in his hand. Half of He Xin's face was stuffed under the quilt, because his whole face was flushed abnormally because of the fever. The dim light softened his sharp outline, making him look a bit like a big dog that has been wronged.

This person is used to being cool, no matter what he does, he can maintain his chicness. This is the first time he has seen the other person look so weak.

Li Yanqi couldn't say why, but wanted to hug him.

"Take the medicine before going to bed, the front is 39 degrees." He knelt down, helped to tuck the corners of the quilt, and then patted He Xin's face.

He Xin swallowed the antipyretics and cold medicine with water.

No one spoke, Li Yanqi tidied up his room silently, finally moved a chair and sat beside his bed, wanted to wait for him to fall asleep before leaving, but found that He Xin hadn't closed her eyes, just stared at him Read it and say, "When did you know I was sick?"

Li Yanqi looked at him and sighed silently, "This morning, I saw you for the first time."

He Xin frowned, "Then why didn't you expose me and let me continue playing?"

Li Yanqi said, "Because you are different from Zheng Feng."

He Xin was stunned upon hearing this.

Li Yanqi looked down at his hands exposed outside the quilt, paused for a moment and said, "When I knew you were sick and had to play, I really wanted to fight with you, and scolded you for being too strong I tried to drag you off the field for the first time, but I held back everything in the end."

"Why? Ask me to make peace?" He Xin asked.

Li Yanqi shook his head, "I don't know, maybe but not all." He watched He Xin close his eyes and seemed to be falling asleep before he said, "I'm very angry but I still chose to compromise, doing this I probably want to prove that I don't treat people equally, the same thing is different for you and him."

He Xin slowly opened his eyes again, Li Yanqi looked at him, suddenly felt that what he said just now was a bit too much, even if He Xin was so burned that he didn't have the brain to think about it, it was too much.

He stood up, put his palm against the other's forehead to test the temperature, "It's still burning, go to sleep, I'll bring you porridge tonight."

He Xin didn't know if he was in a coma, but the moment he turned around, he grabbed his wrist with such a speed that he couldn't match the patient.

The palm felt as if it was going to burn.

Li Yanqi tried a little harder to break away from He Xin's hand.

He Xin didn't give him a chance and pulled him back. Li Yanqi sat down on his bed unguarded.

He Xin had a strong nasal voice and a low hoarse voice, but her tone was so domineering that she couldn't refuse, "I'm not angry anymore, you stay with me."

"Ah?" Li Yanqi looked at He Xin who was casually flirting with a little wonder.

"Don't go anywhere, just stay here."
