Boiling point

The basketball game is scheduled for the final on Sunday afternoon. On Saturday night, lots will be drawn to decide who will play against whom. The teams that advance to the final will be arranged to draw lots in the meeting room of the venue. Before the organizing committee arrives, everyone occupies one side of the territory, and the atmosphere is frequent. The sword is on the verge of breaking out.

These school teams often meet each other in various leagues. The old and new hatred can add up to circle the stadium. Basically, no one is convinced. There are two teams that seem to be very strong. Eight hundred battles have been simulated.Xu Lan and his team kept a low profile and stayed in the corner to watch. He Xin wore a mask and looked sideways. Li Yanqi secretly observed the players of each team. Come.

The four advanced teams faced each other two by two, divided into two halves. Li Yanqi and the others were drawn to Leshui High School in the first half. If they win, they will be able to compete with the winner of the other team for the championship.

The overall strength of Leshui is comparable to them. The players are quite good among this group of people. At least some of them are more friendly than He Xin. Li Yanqi chatted with the opposing captain for a while, and held two more meetings , and then came out of the conference room.

Xu Lan and the others had already returned to the hotel. He Xin was leaning against the wall to play games. When she saw the door opened, she took off her earphones and shook hands with Li Yanqi.

"I thought you were going back to bed." Li Yanqi followed him to the elevator.

"I didn't bring my room card." He Xin said, "I might as well wait for you to go back with me, and have a supper along the way."

On the night of He Xin's illness, Li Yanqi and Xu Lan changed rooms. Xu Lan usually lacks a muscle, but he is gifted and sensitive when it comes to gossip. Seeing the sky teased them like an awkward couple.

"Just touched the bottom of Leshui, the chances of winning are great." Li Yanqi smiled, "I will try my best to protect your goal tomorrow, Zheng Feng's feet are almost healed, if he plays, our situation will not be like the It was so hard last time."

He Xin said, "You threw that three-pointer last time well, but in fact, it's okay to guarantee your goal."

Li Yanqi waved his hand, "I'm not as skilled as you. To be honest, that three-pointer was all due to your roar."

He Xin looked at him and said with a smile, "The first school girl in history to go all out and shoot three-pointers in order to make peace."

Li Yanqi stretched out his arm and bumped him, "Aren't you the school grass?"

He Xin said, "I went to the school forum to select the school grassroots, and your votes are one vote higher than mine."

Li Yanqi took out his mobile phone, clicked into the forum and voted for He Xinlian ten times, then pointed at him, "It's the school grass."

"Go away." He Xin put his hands in his pocket, put on a mask and walked to the door, "Come with me to eat fried rice cakes, I want to eat."

Li Yanqi was also a little hungry, but he still did not forget the bottom line, "You treat me."

"Look at how stingy you are." He Xin laughed, "You can buy the whole street for you."

Li Yanqi followed quickly, "Then, you can go wherever you want me to accompany you, sir."

He Xin gave him a sideways glance, but smiled when she turned around.

They wandered to the snack street, where there were other food besides fried rice cakes. He Xin was very rich, so he packed a portion of each item and took it to the rest area to eat slowly.

The temperature in Beigang is ten degrees lower than that in Nanxi. At night, eating at roadside stalls requires a healthy body to keep out the cold. He Xin didn’t bring enough thick clothes, and all he wore was Li Yanqi’s coat. He stood up after eating fried rice cakes and squid skewers He jumped up and down on the spot, then took off his clothes and covered Li Yanqi.

Li Yanqi tore off his clothes and looked back at him, "Don't be shy when you're sick, just put it back on, I'm not cold."

In fact, He Xin's cold is almost recovered, but he still has a little cough. He pointed to the street across the street, "I'm too full to eat, get ready to exercise. Let's run to the park over there first, and the loser will wear a coat." .”

Li Yanqi looked at him helplessly, "It's not enough to be stupid in the middle of the night."

"Don't you dare?" He Xin put on the mask, "Counseled?"

Li Yanqi zipped up his clothes and jumped on his toes, "Run, haven't you figured out what I was doing at the train station?"

He Xin glanced at him, snapped his fingers unmoved, silently counted one, two, three, and rushed out.

At the same time, Li Yanqi also jumped out like a gust of wind.

In the end, neither of them ran to the small park opposite, because the road was closed due to road construction.

"Fuck." He Xin gasped and said, "You're playing with me."

Li Yanqi also leaned on his knees and breathed heavily, "You played with me first, fuck, we are so childish."

The two stood in the alley for a while, didn't speak, just laughed.

"Idiots are contagious, I used to be so serious."

"I used to be cool too, okay?"

Li Yanqi looked at He Xin's side face by the light of the street lamp, and smiled lightly, "Since when did it change?"

In an inadvertent moment, or hidden in my heart for a long time, it becomes an inexplicable change at this moment.

Walking all the way back to the hotel, I met a group of teenagers who came out of the ktv to drink too much. They walked behind them, howling for a while, and the noise pollution made people collapse.

Li Yanqi frowned and looked at He Xin, who gestured to him.

"One, two, three, run!"

So after supper, he exercised too much, and He Xin went to the hotel to take a shower and came out hungry again.

He lay on the bed begging for biscuits from Li Yanqi, and because his hands were wet, he opened his mouth to let him throw them in.

Li Yanqi stuffed the biscuit into He Xin's mouth in the dark, patted off the crumbs and said, "I suddenly thought of a phrase, guess what it is?"

"The poor don't get what they want?" He Xin bit the biscuit into pieces, turned over and lay back, "I'm sorry, I'm not poor."

"What's your brain circuit?" Li Yanqi smiled for a long time, then clicked his tongue mysteriously, "It's heywego, black, hello, dog."

He Xin stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while, then figured out what it meant, and laughed too.

"I'm making this cold joke, even my sister Liao is willing to bow down to me. Credit me with a quilt, and I'm going to freeze to death."

Li Yanqi said, "There is only one quilt in the hotel, otherwise you will crawl over here."

He just mentioned it casually, and regretted it after he finished speaking, because He Xin would definitely not think too much about it, so Pi Dian Dian crawled in with his quilt in his arms.

Li Yanqi felt the movement of the bed next to him, and sighed silently.

"I admire you for not falling to the ground after such a jump."

He Xin said, "My eyesight is 5.3, so I know what you're doing."

Li Yanqi smiled, "What did I do?"

He Xin turned over and lay down, coughed twice and said, "I'm playing games. I just lost two games. I was chatting with Little Milk Foam. Now I put my hand under my creaking nest, trying to carry out an inhumane sneak attack."

After He Xin finished speaking, she pressed Li Yanqi's hand tightly to prevent him from moving around.

Neither of them spoke, He Xin's hand was very hot, and Li Yanqi's hand was warmed up in a short while.

Li Yanqi couldn't help rubbing the tip of his nose. Although he wasn't as flustered as when he touched his hand for the first time, his heart still beat faster gradually.

He Xin was breathing heavily because of a stuffy nose. He turned his head and said after a long silence, "I will still win the basketball game tomorrow."

Li Yanqi said seriously, "Well, go all out, but don't get hurt."

As soon as He Xin pressed against Li Yanqi, she started to feel sleepy. Before she fell asleep, she suddenly realized that she was still holding Li Yanqi's hand. When she let go, she couldn't help but scratched his palm, as if she still wanted to do something. something else.

"Did you write a word in my palm?" Li Yanqi curled his fingers slightly.

He Xin's voice was tired, "I didn't write it, I just wanted to get revenge on you for trying to tickle me just now."

"I'm not ticklish." Li Yanqi turned over and closed his eyes, "Good night."

"Good night."

After a while, they all fell asleep. In a daze, Li Yanqi felt the other party's arm around his waist, and then tightened it up a little bit. This was a very insecure sleeping position, and he was hugging her , The back of the neck touched his prickly hair.

Even his heart was itchy, itching so much that he had a colorful dream.

On the day of the basketball finals, a lot of local media came, taking pictures of anyone they caught.When Leng Buding thought of strenuous effort during the warm-up, He Xin sighed a little.

Fei Jin had played with them before, although he was very good, but with him picking up the ball every time, he would not worry about who to choose.

I wonder how he is doing now?Have you found a new life?

He Xin held the basketball and did a few stretching exercises, then returned to the team and put on the school uniform. Zheng Feng glanced at him several times before speaking, and finally stopped him when everyone got up.

He faltered for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

He Xin gave him a "fart!" look, and said impatiently, "Are you lame and dumb?"

Zheng Feng: "......" It really wasn't speculative with this person.

He Xin pulled up the zipper of the school uniform, covering half of her face, turned around and threw him a bottle of water in her hand, and Zheng Feng took it in a daze.

"Shoot the ball steadily, don't run around, I will watch when the opposing player blocks you."

He Xin left after speaking, Zheng Feng stared at his back, not sure if he understood his hint.

Li Yanqi passed by him and said, "He Xin is making amends for hurting your leg before."

Zheng Feng was a little confused, "He was apologizing to me just now?"

Li Yanqi smiled, "Yes."

Zheng Feng stared at the air for a long time before he realized, "Why do I feel that he is scolding me?"

Li Yanqi said, "This cool guy's way of apologizing is a bit special, just get used to it."

The first half of the game was about to start, Zheng Feng didn't continue to speculate on what He Xin was thinking, and went straight to the field to warm up.

The match against Leshui was a bit unexpected. I don’t know if their level suddenly improved a lot, or Leshui was nervous when he came to the scene. The score opened up a lot from the beginning, even though Leshui’s fierce player shot three three-pointers in a row , the ending was still irreversible, Twelfth High School won with 45:39.

He Xin ran across from the basketball hoop and slapped Li Yanqi hard.

"The smash at the end was pretty cool."

Li Yanqi smiled, "Your three-pointer is also very handsome."

Their team was originally the most underrated group in the entire league, but it turned out to be all the way to the championship. During the warm-up in the second half of the game, the scene exploded with screams. Zheng Feng also made several shots in the last game. Ball, it's windy to walk at the moment.

He Xin picked up the collar to wipe off the sweat on her chin, and looked back at Li Yanqi who was standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

This person did not know when he put on the headband he drew at the music festival the day before yesterday. The hideous thing was tied on his head, and it gave him a different sense of beauty. He Xin squinted her eyes, feeling a beam of sunshine in front of her eyes. Shake it hard.

"The handsome guy with the hair tie and the handsome guy with long legs! Come on!!" Following the roar of an unknown lady at the scene, both of them were ashamed, and they separated and ran after giving an order.

This time it was against No. [-] Middle School. No. [-] High School is the favorite to win the championship. When I read their profile, Xu Chenyan said, don’t be cowardly when you meet No. [-] High School. If you are coaxed, you will lose even worse. If you don’t coax, at least you will win with momentum up.

So He Xin has been playing very attentively, but the opponent's defense is too strong, the two stared at him alone, he couldn't return to the defense and turned around to throw the ball. He lost several rounds in a row, but it was rare that he didn't feel unhappy.

The so-called game is to be strong when you are strong. The defense of No. [-] Middle School blocked all the roads of No. [-] Middle School. Li Yanqi came from the opposite side to meet He Xin, leaving Xu Lan and Zheng Feng to defend in the third division. Feng Binrui and Sun Wei continued to entangle with their people.

He Xin took advantage of his height to catch a ball, and immediately jumped up and threw it to Li Yanqi. Li Yanqi took two steps forward and made a backhand shot. With tacit cooperation, they finally scored the first goal.

Wave after wave of shouts made the atmosphere at the scene unprecedentedly high.

"Come on!" He Xin rushed over and hugged Li Yanqi's shoulder.

Li Yanqi hugged him and said "Come on".

The combat power of the third middle school is very strong. Whether it is a long-range shot or a close-up dunk, there is actually no room for reversal in the last quarter, but He Xin and the others seem to have not seen the score at all. They still did not admit defeat. A group of people are desperate Running all over the field, trying to chase the score forward a little bit.

He Xin fought back and forth with the best player in the third middle school for three rounds, defending and attacking no less than ten times, both of them gasped for breath while holding their knees, but neither of them refused to give up.

He Xin felt that his whole body was on fire. It wasn't the anger of losing a game, but a kind of energy burning desperately. Let's call it spontaneous burning blood. It seemed that he hadn't been in such a state for a long time. And with all his strength, he has the youthful spirit to go all out.

Li Yanqi was blocked three times by a team member who seemed to have beaten him to death. Just as he was looking for an opportunity to break out of the encirclement, he saw a familiar figure not far away from the stands.

With a small slingshot in his hand, he hurled a pebble onto the floor.

Li Yanqi's pupils shrank suddenly. He just yelled "He" and it was too late. He Xin held up the basketball and stepped forward with his left foot, trying to step on it, because he was bouncing and sliding over. Yes, so I tripped over an obstacle and fell hard.

"Fuck!" Xu Lan yelled loudly, "I'll fuck you!"

The referee blew the whistle in time, stepped forward to investigate the situation, and finally compensated with a free throw.

He Xin got up from the ground and dusted off his clothes. Fortunately, when he fell down, he supported the ground with his hands and didn't twist his feet. Apart from being a little upset, there was nothing serious about it.

Li Yanqi stood beside him, clenched his fists tightly all the time, unable to see his expression clearly when he lowered his head.

He Xin bent down, compared the distance, shoulders and elbows exerted force at the same time, and the ball spun and slid into the frame.

A three-pointer is scored and the game continues.

He Xin ran to the venue and patted Li Yanqi on the shoulder, "I'm fine, I can still run."

Li Yanqi didn't smile or speak, but just glanced at the auditorium with a fierce look in his eyes.

Even if there was a change in the middle that seemed to be able to reverse the score, the miracle still did not happen in the end. The third middle school won the second middle school steadily, but this basketball game was very exciting, and the two teams played very enjoyable. Not so important anymore.

At least He Xin felt that although she was a little lost, she was not as sad as she imagined.

Very cool.

It's been a long time since I felt so hearty.

He went to the toilet to wash his face, but he didn't see Li Yanqi when he came out.

Xu Lan was signing autographs for the elementary school girl on the field, and she was not thinking about the other party at all. He Xin searched around, and also asked Feng Binrui and Zheng Feng, and they all said that Li Yanqi left after the game, and they didn't know where he went.

He Xin thought he had gone to discuss things with the organizing committee, so he didn't think about it any more. He avoided the little girl's pursuit and hid in the toilet to smoke a cigarette.

Two boys came in to urinate with their shoulders hooked. They probably didn't see He Xin in the corner, and they chatted loudly.

"Damn, I just saw people from No. [-] Middle School fighting with No. [-] No. [-] Middle School."

"What? Twelfth High School? But the Fifth High School lost last time, right?"

"It's possible that I don't want to be reconciled. That guy from No. [-] Middle School is awesome enough to go up alone. When I passed by, he walked towards them with a gloomy face. He must have been beaten badly now."

With a bang, the conversation was interrupted by a loud noise. The two saw a tall boy stamp out a cigarette butt, ran out with anger on his face, and slammed the door.

Li Yanqi has rarely fought with others, except when he was young and was bullied, he stood up and resisted, and this was the first time he took the initiative to fight.

He always thought that he could bear it, and he would not have the impulsiveness and anger of youth, but today in the basketball court, the moment the man threw the stone, the moment He Xin stepped on it and fell, he barely maintained his face. Calm down, but the fire in my heart suddenly rose to a higher level.

Very angry, he hadn't experienced such violent mood swings for a long time, so he had to lower his head and take a deep breath, so that no one could see his expression at that time.

Li Yanqi tore off his coat, and threw it aside casually. He blocked the people of Fifth Middle School, thinking that it would be impossible for so many people to beat him, so he leaned forward and surrounded him tightly. .

Li Yanqi twisted his arm, pursed his lips and showed a cold smile, without unnecessary nonsense, he stepped forward and threw a person over his shoulder.

"Fuck!" Several men in the same team were stunned.

Li Yanqi walked forward with no expression on his face, as if he couldn't see the person who rushed forward at all, he swung the opponent's back fiercely, and kicked his knee again, the number one player staggered, his own and his own The person bumped head-on, and player No. 13 dragged player No. [-] and fell to the ground. He grabbed player No. [-] by the wrist and threw him aside to get rid of a few obstacles. Li Yanqi went straight to The innermost number seven went.

Number Seven dug a stick out of nowhere, and waved it at him twice tentatively.

Li Yanqi walked up to him without a moment's hesitation, raised his leg high and kicked his stick flying, and hit his stomach with his fist. After beating him to the ground, he squatted down and picked up his collar and said, "Today in basketball I've seen it all on the field."

The man snorted coldly, "So what if you see it?"

Li Yanqi pulled him by the shoulder and pressed him to the right, and said word by word, "It's not that good, it's just that you deserve a beating."

The man's arm was pulled out of shape, and he yelled a few times.

"are you crazy!"

"Thank you."

Li Yanqi took the stone out of his pocket and threw it on his foot with [-]% of his strength, the back of his foot was probably swollen, the man howled earth-shatteringly and stared at him fiercely.

If He Xin hadn't seen No. [-] picking up a stick from the ground and trying to throw it at Li Yanqi's back, he might have silently applauded from the sidelines. See you.

But now, when He Xin saw that scene, he immediately got angry, and rushed to kick the man on the back. No. [-] was caught off guard and knelt on the ground, as if kowtowing to him.

"Fuck!" Number Three cursed in a drawn-out tone.

"You fucking dare to touch him, I will tell you to get out on your knees." He Xin said coldly.

Fighting is his innate talent, he squinted his eyes and calculated, this group of people, 1 minute.

Li Yanqi found He Xin, and the two exchanged a complicated but tacit look, one turned to the left, the other turned to the right, and grabbed several people who were rushing towards them, punched and kicked several times, bullying the body to turn back. Twist their arms and flip them to the ground neatly.

He Xin clapped her hands, "Are you still fighting?"

Li Yanqi smiled and said, "Come again, I haven't hit enough."

Number Seven got up from the ground with a gloomy face, pointed at them and paused for a long time before saying, "Don't run if you can."

This kind of provocation was so stupid that He Xin couldn't help laughing.

The man's self-esteem was seriously frustrated, but he stared at them for a long time, and didn't dare to approach them.

In the end, they stumbled and supported each other and walked away.

He Xin kicked the stick, and looked back at Li Yanqi, who was standing under the streetlight, with his eyebrows slightly raised, as if he was still angry.

He Xin walked up to him and stopped, "This is the first time I've seen you like this."

"Yeah." Li Yanqi took a deep breath, "Indirect brain twitch."

He Xin looked at him, "For me?"

This person was too direct, Li Yanqi didn't know how to answer for a while, his eyes wandered in the air for a long time, and finally drifted back to his face, and he let out a muffled hum again.

He Xin said silently for a moment, "It's the first time someone fights for me, and it's someone as tolerant as you." He smiled, "Brother Ta, you're so cool."

Li Yanqi finally raised his head, a string in his heart twitched suddenly.

It was only then that He Xin saw a red mark on the right side of the other person's face with a fingernail. He took a step forward and reached out to brush away Li Yanqi's hanging hair.

The distance between the two of them drew extremely close, and Li Yanqi smelled the smell of sweat mixed with He Xin's body, just like him, strong and aggressive.

The image of the other party running on the basketball court flashed in his mind, different from his previous casual expression, every step he took off, every look he looked at the ball was very serious, which coincided with the way he stared at himself now together.

"Fuck, I took them." He Xin touched the small wound on the corner of Li Yanqi's right eye, and said calmly.

Li Yanqi stretched out his hand and grabbed the opponent's arm. There was a wall behind him. He Xin turned around and stood there with one hand, looking down at him.

There was a buzzing in Li Yanqi's mind, suddenly he lost all logic, and pulled him forward again.

He Xin looked at him, still immersed in the unhappiness that he didn't beat them all up just now.

The two looked at each other so closely for a while, Li Yanqi finally let go, pretending to be top-notch, trying to cover up his lack of focus just now, "I have a stomachache."

Because of improvisation, the lie was not made up smoothly, so He Xin was taken aback on the spot.

"Cough, do you want to eat?" Li Yanqi walked aside, calmed down for a few seconds, then turned around and smiled at him, "Will you go?"

He Xin said, "Wait a minute."

He ran out for 2 minutes and came back again. He took out a bandage from his pocket with a cartoon pink pig on it, tore it off and stuck it on Li Yanqi's face. Because he was white, he looked pretty.

He Xin curled her lips and nodded Li Yanqi's face, "Beautiful."

"Get lost." Li Yanqi retorted back.

Like a big dog wagging its tail, He Xin put a smile on his shoulder.

What were you trying to do to him just now?Li Yanqi poked his heart and asked himself.

The surroundings are very quiet, as if there is only one thought that is about to break through the ground.

Li Yanqi, you are so courageous.
