It was really not easy to find an empty street basketball court in City S on weekends. Although Xu Ziming stepped in ahead of time and chose a place with few people, two teams had already gathered on the court when Zhou Xing arrived.

"Tsk, you're the one calling here?" The tone was obviously unhappy.

Xu Ziming scratched his head: "No, I only called our school team."

Zhou Xing swept through the crowd, except for his classmate Xia Ye, the other two standing beside him were all unfamiliar faces, they should be the minister and deputy minister that Xu Ziming had mentioned.

Wait, why does one of them look familiar?

"You, vending machine?"

Zhou Xing approached the boy with the eye-catching earrings and carefully identified it. He was not the one he liked to remember, but this person left a deep impression on him.

Two months ago, Xu Ziming took him to watch the basketball club's game. When he went to the vending machine to buy drinks, a boy in strange clothes held up a pink notebook and asked him to sign it.

It's a good thing, the pink book with diamonds and the autograph of the magical girl made him choke for a long time.

"Do you remember me?" The minister turned his head and showed off to Huo Qing in a low voice but couldn't hide his excitement, "He still remembers me!"

One was having fun, and the other became inexplicably high. The remaining three observed for a long time, and it was difficult to find out which of the two perverts was better.What is certain is that on the day of the school team game, something beyond human comprehension happened between them.

Excluding the five people from school A, the other group obviously belonged to other schools, and their youthful youth could not be concealed by dyed hair and smoking.

"Hey, hey, you guys, don't you see anyone in this place? Go away."

A boy with hair highlighted by more than one color spat out his cigarette butt and yelled at Xu Ziming.

Really good at picking soft persimmons, Huo Qing stood in front of Xu Ziming calmly.They didn't intend to monopolize the entire basketball court. For street basketball, two groups of people just competed to learn from each other. As soon as the other party came up, they wanted to drive them away. How could there be such a reason?

Xia Ye was silent while holding the ball, Xu Ziming stared back at the opposite side not to be outdone, the two juniors must be protected, Huo Qing has always been a good guy and has no lethality, the minister looked left and right, put his hope on On Zhou Xing...

Zhou Xing took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and lit it on his own, without even giving any extra glances to outsiders.

...Forget it, I'm the oldest one anyway, so I have to hold up the scene.

"This... is there any first-come-first-served thing here? Can't one side and half the court?"

Zhou Xing leaned against the barbed wire and slowly exhaled smoke, obviously he was also afraid, and he wanted to force himself to stand out, really...

"Hey, you guys, which school are you from?"

The cigarette was thrown on the ground and crushed hard.

Zhou Xing squinted at the boy who spoke rudely, his impatient look had a deterrent effect.

Scared by his ferocious eyes, the colorful boy took a step back, swallowed, then thought of the crowds on his side, and straightened up again.

"It's none of your business, I've taken over this place today, and the sensible ones will go away."

The wind picked up in an instant, and the fallen leaves were piled up on the ground rustling, and some swirled and floated to the boy's feet.

"Heh, you dare to call me Lao Tzu in front of me?"

The air pressure was terribly low.

Zhou Xing brushed his forehead hair, straightened up and walked towards the boy with dyed hair, stomping on the fallen leaves with every step, with an imposing manner.

For some reason, the colorful boy seemed to see the scene of the cheetah foraging, and his legs trembled a little.

"Okay, okay, let's have a competition, and the loser will leave." The minister stopped Zhou Xing with a smile.

Idiot Minister, can't you see that Brother Chuxing is going to lose his temper? !What is the comparison with this kind of person who wants to die? !Xu Ziming was afraid that Zhou Xing would transfer his anger to the minister, so he had no choice but to say: "Yes, if you are a man, you can use basketball to talk!"

Just as Qicai was about to say that there was something to compare her to, a big hand pinned her shoulder, and her expression changed due to the pain.

"Okay, let's compete."

The tall boy behind him stood out, visually estimated to be over 1.9 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a smile on his face when he spoke.

He had an easy-going face, but Xia Ye noticed with sharp eyes that a corner of his tattoo was faintly exposed under the vest on his chest.

It's bad...

Halfway through the game, they knew what the other was up to.

Because there are no referees in street basketball, the opponents tried their best to make tricks and fouled repeatedly.Fortunately, Xu Ziming and the others reacted quickly and avoided the deliberate collision in time.

After failing once or twice, the number of goals scored by the opponent continued to increase, and the tall boy became irritable.

"minister!"

The three outflanked the minister who jumped up to grab the rebound and knocked him to the ground. The taller one pretended to be unsteady and stepped on his calf.

"Ahhh-"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, my foot slipped." The tall one smiled sinisterly.

"Minister, Minister..."

Xu Ziming and Xia Ye hurried up to help the minister up.

"Is something wrong?"

"It's okay... hiss—a little pain..." The minister forced a smile, and beads of sweat dripped down his pale face.

"You fucking did it on purpose—"

Huo Qing stopped Xu Ziming who ran away violently, but his face was also very ugly.

"What do you... mean?"

"What's the point? Your skills are not as good as people's." Qicai became hardened.

From the beginning to the end, Zhou Xing didn't say a word.

"Zhou Xing..." Seeing him turning the basketball in his hand, the minister called out to him, "Basketballs are not for beating people..."

"Trouble," Zhou Xing clapped his hands as the basketball hit Xia Ye in the next second, "I heard there's a saying called courtesy before soldiers?"

"Ah? Yes... yes..."

Zhou Xing stood in front of the tall man, blocking the four people behind him.Huo Qing was afraid that he would blurt out, can I hit you, so he clenched his fists nervously.Although the school stipulates that fighting and making troubles are not allowed, they are really deceiving people too much...

"I invite everyone to drink coffee in the alley."

Zhou Xing pointed to a dark alley next to the basketball court, with a comfortable expression that almost made people believe it.

"What a mess, look for a fight."

Qicai took this remark as a provocation, and waved her fist to greet Zhou Xing in the face.

"When I speak well, you have to cooperate." With a condescending voice, the smile is cold.

Before everyone had time to see what was going on, Zhou Xing twisted Qicai's arm and pinned him behind him, kicking him into the alley.

"Xu Ziming, take them away first." His eyes shifted a little, "You guys, follow up."

The tall boy's face turned extremely ugly, and he led the rest of the people to curse and follow into the dark alley.

"Is he all right?" the minister asked reluctantly.

"It's hard to say, the other side must think that there is such an arrogant person, and he must be taught a lesson." Xu Ziming walked slowly with him.

"The tallest one has tattoos." Xia Ye spit out.

"Nani?!!"

"I'll go and have a look, the minister gave it to you."

Huo Qing nodded, watching Xia Ye's figure disappearing into the dark alley, thinking how these juniors were better than each other.

I found the nearest clinic to check the injury, and the doctor said that it was only a soft tissue contusion, not a bone injury, so the two were relieved.

"Minister, don't move around."

The strength of the minister interprets the word fidgeting.Not to mention him, Xu Ziming's heart skipped a beat, there were quite a few people on the other side, can Brother Xing do it alone?I hope Xia Ye can help.

While taking the medicine, Huo Qing's cell phone rang.

"Hello? Summer night..."

After hanging up the phone, the minister asked anxiously, "What did he say?"

"Solved, he asked where we were, and he came over to buy something to drink."

"Solved? How did it work? What do you mean? The matter was solved or... was it solved by people?"

Huo Qing got a headache and fled the bombing area on the pretext of getting medicine.

Xia Ye mentioned a sports drink and entered the door, and immediately received a question from the minister.

"What about Zhou Xing?"

"gone."

The minister sat up in shock: "Let's go now? I haven't asked him for his autograph yet!"

"..."

"What did he take the man for?"

"Drink coffee."

Liar!Seeing that he couldn't ask anything from Xia Ye's mouth, he changed the subject.

"By the way, our cooperation just now was really perfect, Xiao Ye, don't you think so?"

"Ok?"

"Xiaoye's style of play is different from before. It's good to know how to take care of others. You will be fine if I don't play in the winter competition."

Beside the hospital bed, a fair-skinned boy was swinging his legs leisurely, speaking as if he was explaining to a child.

"Ah."

Really, talking to Xiao Ye is the most boring thing.

It was after the winter league that Zhou Xing met Xu Ziming's minister again. He was buying coffee in front of the vending machine that day.

"Sure enough, Zhou Xing."

In the reflection of the glass window, the boy behind him smiled brightly.

Zhou Xing opened the coffee can: "Who are you?"

"Ahhhhh, you don't remember me? We played basketball together!"

Of course I remember, Xu Ziming and the others had long white faces.

"Oh, your legs aren't alright?"

Zhou Xing glanced at his calf which was still wrapped in bandages.

"Okay, okay," the minister explained in a low voice when he saw him raising his eyebrows, "Actually, the force in my body exploded out of control after I was injured last time, and the magic essence formed a dragon emblem on the surface of my skin. The bandage cover will soon reveal my true identity..."

"sharp."

Zhou Xing praised him?The minister fluttered and said, "You haven't signed me last time, is it convenient for me to sign today?"

Zhou Xing coughed, why does this person keep chasing him for autographs, he is not a star.

Xiaobai's face was full of stars, and his look of anticipation was quite obedient.From the looks alone, no one would equate him with the head of the basketball club.

Zhou Xingmo sighed when he thought of how he tried to protect the juniors that day.

"Bring me the book."

"Really? Thank you so much," the minister turned to greet the bushes. "Come out, he agreed."

A dark girl emerged from behind the bushes, tightly holding the pink autographed book of magical girls on her chest.

Zhou Xing silently threw away the unfinished coffee.

"This is my younger sister, from the junior high school. She will be promoted to school B next year," the minister whispered into Zhou Xing's ear after the introduction, "She has admired you for a long time, and has always wanted your autograph."

"..."

One white and one black... If he didn't mention Zhou Xing, he would have thought it was Huo Qing's sister.

The girl handed over the signed book timidly.

Zhou Xing had no idea where the kid heard about him.

"Sign this?"

"Ok!"

The girl stared at the signature with stars in her eyes, and she looked a bit like a boy in this way.

Zhou Xing thought for a while and added: "Study hard."
