Xie Xiu averted his gaze uneasily, and stammered his objection: "No...don't bring them...to brother's house."

Seeing that his reaction was not intense, Xie Duo followed Han Jiao's request and continued to repeat the comforting words: "They won't bother Brother Seven, they just watch me juggle the ball."

Han Jiao in the gazebo opened his mouth slightly, and calmly reminded the two princes sitting beside him: "Don't look at Xie Xiu, and don't pay attention to him from the corner of your eye, just focus on the ball in Xie Duo's hand."

Hearing this, the two princes who subconsciously paid attention to Xie Xiu immediately recovered and focused on the ball.

Xie Xiu on the other end was also observing the people in the gazebo repeatedly from the corner of his eye, and when he found no one was watching him, he gradually became calm and said, "There is one more person."

"Yes, he is my attendant, his name is Han Jiao, Han Xiaobai."

"Brother knows." Xie Xiu has seen him before, and it smells like leeks: "Don't bring him to the house either."

Xie Duo still didn't agree, but he didn't object either.

After waiting for a while, Xie Xiu's attention returned to Xie Duo.

"I'm starting to juggle the ball, brother, help me count." Xie Duo restarted the game.

"Okay." Realizing that the people in the gazebo were not paying attention to him, Xie Xiu gradually ignored their existence.

Xie Duo lifted the ball to the height mentioned by Han Jiao, let go of his hand, and began to bounce the ball with moderate force, keeping the ball at the height before it fell.

"Boom—boom—boom—" slow and rhythmic frequency.

"One, two, three—" Xie Xiu's eyes followed the ball up and down.

The regular sounds and pictures quickly made him relax and gained a preliminary sense of control.

"31, 32..."

At this time, the ball was "accidentally" kicked sideways and rolled towards Xie Xiu.

Xie Xiu subconsciously took a few steps forward, raised his foot to block the ball, bent over to pick it up, and walked towards his brother.

"Kick it to me——" Xie Duo opened his hands and made a move towards Xie Xiu ready to catch the ball, letting him kick it at ease: "Kick it to me, brother."

Xie Xiu stopped without any mistake and put the ball on the ground, but he didn't dare to step down. After hesitating for a moment, he bent over, picked up the ball with both hands, and threw it towards Xie Duo's direction to ensure that the ball would not roll crookedly.

Xie Duo's movements were loose and precise, and he stepped on the ball he threw.

Xie Xiu noticed that the people in the gazebo didn't react at all, their eyes were still following the ball, and they didn't discuss whether his throwing posture or direction was accurate.

As a result, Xie Xiu relaxed even more.

Next, every [-] or so times when the ball was bounced, the ball would be kicked crookedly and rolled towards Xie Xiu.

From being clumsy and helpless at the beginning, he gradually became relaxed and natural. After the fifth time, Xie Xiu started to stop the ball directly with his feet, and then kicked back to Xie Duo with his feet.

Every time the ball was kicked back to Xie Duo's feet, Xie Duo would show a happy smile to Xie Xiu, which gave Xie Xiu a faint sense of accomplishment and enthusiasm for participating in the game. He began to expect his brother to kick the ball crookedly so that he could accurately catch the ball and kick it back.

"I've never seen Lao Qi so close to Qiu!" Xie Jing in the gazebo couldn't help sighing in a low voice: "In the past, pulling him to participate in Cuju was like killing him, why now..."

"Cuju is too difficult for him to control." Han Jiao explained in a low voice: "The difficulty is too high, and he needs to cooperate with outsiders, which makes him overly nervous, worried about making mistakes, and naturally feels tormented."

Xie An on the side asked in a low voice: "Sir, when can I go?"

"Wait a little longer." Han Jiao observed Xie Xiu's expression and movement coordination vigilantly.

On the other side, Xie Duo was more surprised than the brothers in the pavilion at the moment.

When he was playing football for the first time, he saw brother Qi smiling expectantly.

After more than a dozen rounds of receiving and passing the ball, Xie Duo started the second step that the little prodigy said - allowing some small mistakes.

The ball no longer flew precisely in Xie Xiu's direction, but Xie Xiu would take the initiative to catch up quickly, intercept the ball, and then kick it to Xie Duo.

Xie Xiu was more relaxed when his younger brother kicked the ball crookedly, and he no longer restrained himself from controlling the direction. Sometimes he kicked crookedly on purpose and watched his brother chase the ball with a smile.

Both tacit cooperation and mistakes in cooperation have become easy and interesting things. Xie Xiu was so happy that he even grinned.

His reaction surprised the princes.

Xie Xiu usually behaves like an empty shell most of the time. Except for studying flowers and plants, it is difficult for him to stay in the present moment for a long time, and studying flowers and plants does not bring him any happy emotions.

At this moment, Xie Xiu seemed to be a different person.

Although he couldn't bear to interrupt, Han Jiao was sure that the time was ripe, because the patient's emotions were the most intense when the game first reached a safe interaction, and adding new interpersonal relationships at this time would make it more stable.

So, Han Jiao raised his hand and patted his knee lightly.

Xie Duo in the distance was still silent in Seventh Brother's transformation, and it took him a long time to notice the little prodigy's gesture to enter the next step.

"Get ready, Your Highness." Han Jiao reminded Xie An: "After you play later, don't watch Duan Wang's reaction, just watch the ball."

Xie An was a little nervous: "Seventh Brother had a great time, how about letting him play with Ninth Brother alone today?"

"Old ten." Xie Jing immediately warned his younger brother seriously: "Listen to the master's arrangement."

Xie An replied in a low voice: "Understood."

Not long after, Xie Duo pretended to make a mistake according to the plan in advance, and kicked the ball towards the gazebo hard. Then, without waiting for Xie Xiu's reaction, Xie Duo chased the ball by himself.

Xie Xiu, who was quietly in the game, didn't notice anything unusual, and trotted towards the gazebo with Xie Duo.

Xie An took advantage of the situation and stood up, quickly walked out of the gazebo, met the rolling ball in two or three steps, stepped on it with one foot, and kicked the ball to Xie Duo when he got closer.

As expected, the addition of the third person made Xie Xiu nervous.

Xie An didn't try to communicate with Xie Xiu with his eyes, but only focused on watching the ball, which made Xie Xiu not show too much resistance.

But the smile on Xie Xiu's face disappeared, and he subconsciously began to back away, as if he wanted to give up the playing field to his two younger brothers.

This reaction was expected by Han Jiao, and this was a critical moment.

Both Xie Duo and Xie An noticed that Xie Xiu was slowly retreating, and they followed Han Jiao's plan calmly, and started the interaction with Xie Xiu just now.

Xie Duo bumped the ball and then kicked it sideways. Xie An chased the ball and kicked it back to Xie Duo.

Xie Xiu observed the actions of the two younger brothers from a distance, and slightly shrugged his shoulders, which was his reaction to feeling isolated and helpless.

But not long after, Xie An and Xie Xiu's similar behavior just now brought a sense of familiarity and security, and Xie Xiu's raised shoulders gradually relaxed.

Seeing this, Han Jiao immediately patted his knees and issued a reminder for the next step.

Xie Duo understood immediately, kicked the ball sideways, and rolled towards Xie Xiu.

Because it can't be too deliberate, the direction of the ball is slightly offset, Xie Xiu needs to walk quickly to intercept the ball.

But at this moment, he clenched his hands tightly, watching the ball approaching indifferently, and didn't intend to move his feet to stop it.

Xie Xiu refused to participate in the game.

Xie Duo looked disappointed, and wanted to open his mouth to encourage Seventh Brother to catch the ball, but held back.

Before the plan started, the little child prodigy repeatedly told him that Xie Xiu's reaction must not be interfered with during the game. If this game fails, he can try another game, but Xie Xiu must not be forced to cooperate.

The ball will soon pass Xie Xiu.

Han Jiao clenched his fists tightly, after all, he still couldn't face defeat calmly.

Fall short.

Choosing this game with a regular rhythm and a sense of safety and control as the first session of treatment is naturally because it has the highest success rate. Han Jiao has high hopes, and it is impossible not to be disappointed.

At this moment, Xie An seemed to have made a mistake, and peeked at Han Jiao, asking him if he should run to pick up the ball by himself.

The ball had already rolled past Xie Xiu, but Xie Xiu stared straight ahead indifferently.

Han Jiao took a deep breath, faced failure calmly, nodded slightly to Xie An, and asked him to pick up the ball.

Xie Jing beside him couldn't help but let out a long sigh, very disappointed.

Not far away, the smile on Xie Duo's face also completely disappeared. He was so surprised by Lao Qi's reaction just now, and now he is so disappointed. He put his hands on his hips and turned his head away, not wanting others to notice the emotion on his face.

Xie An got Mr. Han's permission, and ran towards the ball listlessly. Before he could take a few steps, he suddenly saw Mr. Han's right hand on his knee making a stop gesture from the corner of his eye.

Xie An stopped immediately.

The princes all asked Han Jiao suspiciously from the corner of their eyes.

However, before Han Jiao could explain, everyone discovered——

Xie Xiuxiu looked indifferent...slowly moved to the south, approaching the ball that rolled down not far away step by step.

Everyone held their breath, forgot Han Jiao's instructions for a moment, and stared at Xie Xiu expectantly.

The scorching gaze of a group of people immediately made Xie Xiu, who was trying to get close to the ball, froze nervously.

It wasn't until Yu Guang noticed that Han Jiao's right hand was rubbing his knees frantically that the three princes turned their eyes back to the ball and stopped paying attention to Xie Xiu.

Only then did Xie Xiu move towards the ball again step by step. He was using an attitude of staying out of the way, saying that he would not participate in games with outsiders, but he couldn't help but want to kick the ball to his younger brother, so as to regain the sense of accomplishment and control he had just had .

With a distance of seven steps, Xie Xiu seemed to have crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally came to the ball.

He looked around hesitantly, and then he saw the ninth brother open his arms expectantly towards him, waiting for him to kick the ball like he did when he caught the ball for the first time.

Xie Xiu stopped and looked around erratically, looking down at the ball under his feet.

Everyone waited with bated breath.

As if a miracle happened, Xie Xiu kicked the ball towards Xie Duo!

Xie Jing swung his fist violently and roared excitedly: "It's done!"

"Hush—" Han Jiao told him to keep his voice down.

Xie Duo and Xie An suppressed their excitement, and continued to count the ball after receiving the ball, before kicking the ball sideways.

After a few rounds, Xie Xiu no longer pretended to stay out of it, and gradually got used to Xie An's joining just like the two-player game just now.

"Sir, when is my turn?" Xie Jing was impatient.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for His Highness to play today." Han Jiao said with a smile: "The progress has not been too smooth, nor has it completely failed. This is already a very good situation, and we can't act too hastily."

Xie Jing was also overjoyed, but his desire to survive still made him unable to resist reminding: "Sir, it's been about three quarters, if you don't go back to the palace, you may alarm the academicians in charge."
