walking slowly

The younger sister took the notebook and ran away happily. The minister explained: "I probably went to show off to my classmates. Thank you very much."

"Now kids don't follow stars anymore?" Zhou Xing took out the cigarette case.

"You are different," the Minister's voice suddenly dropped, "Don't smoke."

Zhou Xing wasn't too addicted to cigarettes, so he still put away the paper box with dignity after rubbing it twice.

"So, it's your sister who wants to sign?"

"Otherwise...Ahaha, you don't think I like you, do you? Hahaha..."

They were right. When Zhou Xing squinted his eyes to look at people, the temperature seemed to have dropped. The minister shivered, "...haha, it's not funny."

"Let's go." The tone became impatient.

"Zhou Xing—"

Xiaobailian sometimes spoke as timidly as his sister, so Zhou Xing stopped.

Then I heard him say: "Smoking is not good, fighting is even worse..."

Zhou Xing completely lost his patience, why did he preach to him just because he was a senior?

"What are you trying to say..."

"Well, this is for you."

Blocking the way, the gray and white striped wristband stretched out in front of his eyes, and he shook it twice as if he was afraid that he would not see him.

"...Actually, it's a birthday present. Xiao Ming said that your birthday is near Christmas, so I bought this for you... I don't have time to give it to you..."

Seeing his lack of response, the minister thought he was angry, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

The sweet-scented osmanthus bushes on the side of the road are all withered and clean in this season, and a few dead branches that are still long extend to the side of the vending machine, quietly hooking Zhou Xing's sweater.

"why?"

He folded off the threaded branch and kicked it aside, and reached for the wristband, which was soft and a little fuzzy...the material was unknown.

"It's safer to fight with this on."

"..."

"At least... to protect yourself, okay?"

The back is dark and cool, not at all the radiance my sister said.He probably forgot that he once saved a group of little girls from gangsters in a certain street, right?The minister exclaimed in relief, it doesn't matter, it's ok for ordinary citizens to remember superheroes.

Zhou Xing will not know the unspoken words.It's like Zhou Xing didn't finish.

why?

Not why I sent this, but——

Why not preach to him?Why are you looking for him?Why a... birthday present?Why should he protect himself...

Obviously unfamiliar, obviously a little boy who is afraid of bad things... isn't it?

He clenched the wristband in his hand, it is very elastic, it will be used well, it should be.

"Didn't you play well that time?"

As soon as the third competition started after the intermission, everyone felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Xia Ye's offensive was even more violent than in the first half, and more flaws were exposed, allowing Zhou Xing to take advantage of loopholes to score consecutively, and the score gap became wider and wider.

"What's wrong with Xia Ye?"

At this time, Xia Ye could no longer hear Huo Qing and Xu Ziming's concerns and inquiries, so he closed his eyes tiredly.

Club activities ended, people left one after another, leaving only the solitary sound of rubbing on the floor.

"Xiaoye, watch the ball!"

"Minister, don't run around before your injury heals." Xia Ye reluctantly took the basketball that was suddenly thrown over him.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's about the same," the minister skipped nonchalantly, "Another person stays for training?"

"No……"

After playing street basketball with Zhou Xing and the others, Xia Ye occasionally came to the club to participate in training.

"We cooperated really well in the street basket last time, didn't we?"

"You've said that five times this month."

"Oh ha ha, is it?"

The winter league preliminaries have ended, School A's starting lineup this year is strong enough, but it always feels like something is missing.

"Xiao Ye, are you happy playing with me?"

Seeing his slight astonishment, the minister continued: "Are you happy playing with us? Xiao Ming, Xiao Qing, Zhou Xing, and other members of our club..."

Xia Ye patted the ball again and again, his ears filled with the sound of rubber hitting the wooden board.

"Ah, it's really boring to talk to Xiao Ye, I'd better go find Xiao Ming and the others."

When the man walked to the door, the ball rolled away.

"Minister, what should I do?"

"Teammates are made to depend on."

"We are always here."

These were the last two words the minister left him.

Xia Ye touched the earrings and slowly opened his eyes. If he was still there, what kind of golf would he wish he could play?

……

I won't lose again.

This day, the teacher-student friendly match of School A was brilliant, with the super-good-looking teacher pitcher, the best bad point guard in the game... and the student team who cooperated tacitly in the second half, all of which are worth talking about for a long time.

After snatching the ball from Zhang Lin, Zhou Xing instantly appeared in his path, and Xia Ye raised his hand——

"Xu Ziming!"

When Xu Ziming received the ball passed to him by Xia Ye, he felt very complicated. Is that Xia Ye?He actually passed the ball to himself?

"Butt it!"

The body ended the daze one step earlier than the mind. Xu Ziming smashed the ball into the basket, but his head was still in a daze.

Huo Qing ran over and punched him: "What are you waiting for?"

"He he he, he passed the ball to me?"

Xu Ziming didn't know whether to refer to Xia Ye or himself, his fingers bent a few times in the air or retracted.

"Isn't it good? Just like when we played street basketball."

After Xia Ye started to pass the ball, the student team cooperated more and more tacitly. Huo Qing grabbed a rebound, Xia Ye made a pass, and Xu Ziming dunked.

At the end of the third quarter, Xia Ye jumped from the free throw line, and after changing hands in the air, he gliding dunked.The moment the whistle blew, the ball went in.

"Ahhhhhhhhh-"

"very handsome!!!!!"

"Single digit difference!!! Come on!!!"

……

The cheers were deafening and made people's ears itchy. Gu Mo frowned helplessly: "Zhou Xing, what did you just tell him?"

"It's nothing, just a little old thing."

"If you lose..."

"I won't lose, teacher," Zhou Xing adjusted his wristband and looked at him with a smile, "I'm still waiting for the answer."

For Xia Ye's state, only the few people who played with him at that time knew the reason.

As the small forward of the team, the basic task is to score, score, and score again.Ever since he joined the basketball club, Xia Ye single-handedly stuffed the ball into the basket when he got the ball.The captain of the school team who had played against warned the players that Xia Ye must not let Xia Ye get the ball. Once he starts dribbling, the points will be stable.

But his shortcomings are also obvious-the Lone Ranger, never cooperates with his teammates.In the game they lost in the summer split, the opponent took aim at their team's weakness and held Xia Ye back from scoring, even though they narrowly won by one point in the end.

At this time, seeing Xia Ye cooperating with his teammates as if he had changed someone, they only had one thought in their hearts. If that person hadn't left, Xia Ye could have grown into an even better player.

"If your team doesn't have Teacher Zhang, there is still a possibility of winning."

Xia Ye said provocatively to Zhou Xing, returned to the rest chair and began to drink water.

The middle-aged Zhang Lin sighed heavily after not running much, and was wiping his sweat with a towel.Gu Mo next to him hesitated to speak, his brows were frowning.Zhou Xing followed his tangled expression and looked over, the towel in Zhang Lin's hand seemed to belong to his Teacher Gu...

Getting old and dizzy?

Judging from the first three quarters of the game, Zhang Lin was indeed holding them back, slow and lacking strength and unconsciousness... If he could put half of the energy on catching students violating discipline on the court, the game would probably be over long ago.

Zhou Xing glanced at Gu Mo again, is there any extra...

The final tiebreaker.

"Has your minister given you any advice?"

Zhou Xing was still marking him, Xia Ye was very annoyed.After a quarter of cooperation, Zhou Xing had already figured out his way of the ball. He could neither pass people nor pass the ball. It was very difficult to play.Especially in Zhou Xing's buoyant state, as if he hadn't exerted his full strength yet.

Disgusting.

"It seems that you have listened a bit." Zhou Xing continued.

In a flash of skill, the ball was intercepted. Xia Ye watched Gu Mo make a long-range three-pointer, his face turned cold.

It has to be said that Zhou Xing and Gu Mo cooperated perfectly.In that case, break out from the other person.

Zhang Lin was targeted inexplicably, so he trotted along with Lian Lian, why was he being watched?

Xu Ziming and Huo Qing cooperated with Xia Ye to mark Gu Mo and Zhou Xing and let him score a layup. Zhang Lin under the basket couldn't stop their attack at all.

In the last 30 seconds, the point difference narrowed to one point.

"Wonderful!"

Hu Xiaoju on the sidelines couldn't help waving the fluorescent stick, and after getting excited, he took out his mobile phone to show Jing Xi: "Look at their photos at that time, they were taken last year."

There are five energetic boys squeezed on the small screen, clean and beautiful.

The fair boy in the middle with a pair of glasses was put on Xu Ziming's shoulders and smiled wantonly.Huo Qing was holding the basketball in his arms, and the yawning appearance of Xia Ye on the right was just frozen.The most shining gray-haired boy didn't look at the camera, but stood there indifferently, his eyes seemed to be on someone, and they were so ethereal that they seemed to envelop everyone.

"It's really a bit like..." Jing Xi muttered thoughtfully.

"Beep——" After the timeout, the whistle blew, and the winner or loser was within 30 seconds.

The student team had the advantage of leading by one point. Xia Ye patted the ball and thought about whether to defend to the end or hand it over to Xu Ziming for another two points.Xu Ziming and Huo Qing were ready to catch the ball, Xia Ye dribbled the ball and made a fake move to quickly pass Zhou Xing——

"boom--"

What he didn't expect was that Zhou Xing's vision of the whole court was excellent, and he reached out and intercepted the ball from behind without looking back.The sound of the basketball hitting the ground was as loud as a drumbeat in the ears of everyone on the field, and Gu Mo quickly grabbed the ball with his eyesight.

"Return to defense!!!"

Huo Qing was the closest, and quickly reacted and jumped up to intercept his three-pointer.

"Zhou Xing—"

Gu Mo's beautiful fake moves confused Huo Qing, and the ball fell into Zhou Xing's hands again. Xia Ye strode after Zhou Xing and kept a close eye on him.

"I won't let you pass!"

"Hear all the advice, Xia Ye."

Zhou Xing put on a shooting stance, and Xia Ye jumped up quickly: "Who are you preaching to?"

"Didn't I say that teammates are used to rely on?" Xia Ye caught the sly smile in Zhou Xing's eyes, and his body couldn't keep up with the reaction of his brain for a moment. Worse, he didn't want to score a goal.

"Besides, there are no extra people on this field." Zhou Xing put away his posture, and passed the ball behind his back to Zhang Lin, who was ignored by everyone, "Mr. Zhang, it's up to you."

"three--"

Zhang Lin received Zhou Xing's encouraging eyes in a panic. It wasn't just him. The moment the ball reached his hands, everyone's eyes on the basketball court were focused on him, and he became the focus.

"two--"

He looked at Gu Mo, Teacher Gu was right, this student always did unexpected things, but he was a good boy.

"Come on, Teacher Zhang!"

He's not getting old yet!

"One-beep-"

Zhang Lin jumped up and dunked the basketball into the basket.

"Go in!!! Go in!!!!!!"

"Teacher Zhang is amazing!!!"

The cheers became louder and louder, and Zhang Lin never felt so happy to be loved by the students.

"How is Teacher Zhang, isn't it cool?"

Zhou Xing trotted past him and clicked his tongue again: "But it's time to lose weight, I almost didn't jump up."

"you you you--"

If Zhang Lin had a beard, he would be so angry, you bastard!
