hope for redemption

Just when Jiang Xi was dazed and conscious, there were bursts of tingling pain in his head, and the onslaught of pain made Jiang Xi wake up immediately.At this time, the stomach also began to ache, and acid water kept coming out of his throat. Jiang Xi suppressed the acid water that had already reached his throat, and sat up with his hands on his hands.

The blackout curtains cut off the sunlight outside the window, and the master bedroom was completely dark. Jiang Xi rubbed his swollen temples and tried hard to recall what happened last night, no, to be precise, it should be this morning.

Jiang Xi is not the kind of person who will become fragmented after being drunk. On the contrary, after being drunk, all Jiang Xi's senses will be enlarged, and he can perceive everything around him more clearly.

I seemed to have drank three bottles of beer last night, and then chatted with Lin Wang and got drunk, my head was dizzy, and my whole body felt like I would fly away in a second, only because the feeling was too real, He hugged Lin Wang's waist all of a sudden and shouted: "I don't want to fly away, I don't want to fly away."

Thinking back to this point, Jiang Xi felt even more headache.

What a fucking idiot.

At this time, the door of the master bedroom was suddenly pushed open, and the dazzling light outside the door suddenly shot into Jiang Xi's eyes, and Jiang Xi quickly raised his hand to cover it.

Seeing Jiang Xi raising his hand to cover the light, Lin Wang quickly closed the door, and the room fell into darkness again. Lin Wang walked to the floor lamp beside the bed, turned on the light, and the orange light instantly filled the master bedroom.

"Slowly open your eyes," Lin Wang knelt down and said softly, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

Jiang Xi asked about the familiar smell on Lin Wang's body, and felt more at ease. He rubbed his eyes, and slowly opened them while answering, "Headache, nausea."

"Well, this is normal." After finishing speaking, he went to the living room to get a glass of water, took the medicine and handed it to Jiang Xi and said, "Drink the acid water first, and then take the medicine."

Jiang Xi reached out to take it, and obediently took the medicine: "Did you buy it?"

"I have some preparations in my room. I went back to my room this morning to get them." Lin Wang tidied up the quilts and pillows scattered on the floor: "I bought breakfast, let's have some together."

After finishing speaking, he moved the small round table together with the breakfast in front of Jiang Xi, unwrapped the plastic packaging, and took out the breakfast one by one.

Lin Wang bought two servings of mung bean porridge, two servings of pancakes, and two dishes of side dishes, all of which are suitable for people who have a hangover.

The medicine he just took had no effect, Jiang Xi stirred the porridge in the bowl with a plastic spoon in a lack of interest: "Did you sleep with me last night?"

"Well, I'll take better care of you." Lin Wang replied with a side dish wrapped in pancakes.

"Thank you," Jiang Xi took a sip of porridge: "Grandma is gone?"

Lin Wang swallowed the pancakes in his mouth: "Well, come back on the afternoon of the 5th. How do you arrange today?"

"Jiang Sisi wants us to gather at the school volleyball court at two o'clock in the afternoon." Jiang Xi frowned as he thought of the news Jiang Sisi sent yesterday.

"Two o'clock?" Lin Wang frowned when he heard the time: "It must not be sunburned."

Jiang Xi swallowed a mouthful of porridge, and looked at Lin Wang with an expression of "you think so too".

Seeing Jiang Xi's aggrieved expression, Lin Wang smiled reassuringly: "I'm going to the stadium for training at [-] o'clock this afternoon, and I'll spend an hour longer than you."

"Training? What training?" Jiang Xi asked.

"Basketball training," Lin Wang paused, "I promised Lao Yang to help their basketball team play a league game, and I have to get in touch with the basketball team first."

Hearing this, Jiang Xi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Are you good at basketball?"

"Average, the third in the world." Lin Wangyang answered the plastic spoon in Yang's hand without a beat.

"It's really modest," Jiang Xi said.

"That's it," Lin Wang raised his chin and asked, "How about you? How's your technique?"

Jiang Xi slowly added a spoonful of side dishes to the porridge, stirred it a bit and replied, "Average, third in the world."

"Yo," Lin Wang laughed angrily at his casual look: "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, so when will we have a 'third hegemony'?"

"I can do whatever you want." Jiang Xi replied with a smirk.

Lin Wang heard Chao Jiangxi whistle lightly, and stuffed the last pancake into his mouth.

After the two finished their breakfast, Jiang Xi cleaned up the small round table, put the garbage at the door and prepared to throw it away when they went out later.

Back in the master bedroom, Lin Wang was leaning against his own quilt and pillow to play with his mobile phone, and Jiang Xi also picked up his mobile phone from the carpet to check the time, 12:04.

"Accept a friend request?" Lin Wang saw Jiang Xi coming in, and shook his phone at him.

Jiang Xi turned on the phone and asked, "Your?"

"I, Zhuang Zhuang, Da Fei." Lin Wang replied, "Is it okay for me to push your WeChat to them?"

"No," Jiang Xi clicked through WeChat and QQ one by one, and wrote a note: "When do you go to school?"

Lin Wang replied while playing with his mobile phone: "12:30, hey, it's already eight past twelve!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly stood up: "Are you going with me?"

Jiang Xi shook his head and said, "I still have to take a shower."

Lin Wang thought for a while, and he was really uncomfortable after being hungover, so he nodded to show that he knew, picked up the quilt and pillow, and went out: "After dancing, find me on the basketball court, and go to eat together?"

"Okay," Jiang Xi stood up as if to see him off.

"Don't send it off, it's a few steps away." Lin Wang said, "Let's go."

By the time Jiang Xi walked slowly to the school volleyball court wearing a hat and sun protection clothing, the volleyball court was already full of people, and the postures were all rehearsed by each class.

Just when Jiang Xi was about to pull out her mobile phone to ask Jiang Sisi's exact location, she heard a female voice shout across most of the volleyball court: "Jiang Xi! Here!"

Jiang Xi followed the sound and saw Jiang Sisi standing in the shade of a tree at the southeast corner of the volleyball court waving at him. Jiang Xi walked over with her mobile phone.

Jiang Sisi's yell drew everyone's attention on the volleyball court to Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi heard many people discussing herself in whispers all the way.

"My God, what a handsome guy, what class is this from?"

"Is this from the first year of high school, the second year of high school, or the third year of high school? Why didn't I find out in school before?"

"This is the Jiang Xi who pulled Xiao Yao down from the No.1 throne?"

"This is the big guy who surpassed Xiao Yao? Is he so handsome?"

This was the last thing Jiang Xi wanted to hear at this time, so he speeded up his feet under the pressure of irritability.

"Jiang Xi, are you here?" Jiang Sisi warmly greeted her and asked.

Jiang Xi lifted the edge of the hat, pushed back the hair in front of his forehead with his hands, and pressed the hair down with the hat, revealing a refreshing forehead: "Well, shall we start now?"

"Dai Xiyu is still short, we will start when everyone is ready." Jiang Sisi stood beside Jiang Xi, looked at him with a smile and said.

Jiang Xi looked around at the people gathered here, five girls and two boys.Those two boys, Jiang Xi, knew each other and they danced the lead dance together, so the five girls were supposed to be the lead dancers.

"This is the female lead dancer in our class, Qi Jia, Wang Baishi, Yang Ru, Annie, Su Ya." Jiang Sisi introduced from the side.

Jiang Xi greeted them with a polite smile.

After a while, the last male lead dancer also arrived, and Jiang Sisi gathered them together and began to teach dance.

The girl's dance was chosen to be accompanied by a Korean song called Redflavor, and the boy's dance was chosen to be EXO's Theeve.Jiang Xi knows about EXO. Although it is a South Korean group, it is also very popular in Australia.Many girls in Jiang Xi's previous class were their fans.

They only dance a small part of the dance, so it is easy to practice.In addition, Jiang Xi has a foundation in dancing, so he will practice it soon.Just because Jiang Xi learns fast doesn't mean that other people also learn fast.

At this moment, Jiang Sisi roared angrily: "Ma Wenjun! This is a wave! It's not a hip! Dai Xiyu, make a fist with your left hand, make a fist!"

Although standing under the shade of a tree, it cuts off the torment of ultraviolet rays, but the shade of the tree cannot block the torment of heat. Jiang Xi is a physique that loves to sweat. Standing in the heat wave for nearly an hour, the T-shirt behind her has long Got wet.

Jiang Xi patiently accompanied them to practice each movement.

Jiang Sisi is not in charge of the girls' dance practice, a girl named Qi Jia is in charge of the girls' dance practice.Girls seem to be born with an advantage in dancing, and it is much easier and faster to learn to dance than boys.

"Okay, let's practice here today first." Jiang Sisi discussed with the other five girls and said, "We will gather here at this time tomorrow. You should practice hard after you go back."

After Jiang Sisi finished arranging everything, Jiang Xi took out her mobile phone and prepared to call Lin Wang.

"Jiang Xi," Jiang Sisi walked up to him and said with a smile, "Are you free later? Let's have a meal together."

Jiang Xi looked up at Jiang Sisi and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I have something to do and I can't go, you can go."

"Ah? Really," Jiang Sisi smiled a little embarrassedly: "That's okay, I'll make an appointment next time."

Jiang Xi smiled at her and walked towards the stadium while calling Lin Wang.

It took a while for the phone to connect.

"Hello?" Lin Wang's panting voice came from the receiver: "Are you finished?"

Jiang Xi took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose: "Well, I'm walking to the stadium."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Wang took a sip of water, and Jiang Xi could even hear Lin Wang swallowing water clearly.

"Don't go to the stadium, come to the basketball court." Lin Wang said.

Jiang Xi turned around when he heard that, hung up the phone after saying yes, and walked towards the basketball court.

The basketball court in No. [-] Middle School is very large, with a total of six courts. A piece of land is allocated behind the court, and four table tennis tables are built with cement to divide the table tennis court.

Jiang Xi stood under the shade of a tree for a while before finding Lin Wang, who was passing the ball in a loose jersey with dark red and dark stripes.The muscle lines of Lin Wang's arms are beautiful, and the wheat-colored skin is already covered with a layer of sweat.

Jiang Xi purposely made a detour under the shade of the tree, and stepped on the shade to the court where Lin Wang played.

Jiang Xi glanced at the people wearing team uniforms sitting next to the court, and estimated the number of the No. 20 Middle School basketball team, which was about [-].A gust of wind blew past, the leaves above Jiang Xi's head were blown rustling, the gaps between the leaves were also blown wide, and the mottled sunlight sprinkled sporadically on Jiang Xi's face.Jiang Xi took a few steps back, completely hiding himself under the shade of the trees.

"Beep-"

A whistle blew, and the man in white sportswear standing beside the basketball court shouted: "Group A rests, and group B plays." After speaking, he wrote and drew on the data record board in his hand.

This should be Lao Yang, the coach of the basketball team, Jiang Xi thought to himself.

Lin Wang casually lifted the hem of his jersey and wiped his face, exposing his firm and tight abdominal muscles and waistline. He ran to the court while shaking his hands, picked up a water bottle and began to drink heavily.After filling the water, he didn't bother to wipe off the water droplets flowing from the corner of his mouth, so he just sat down on the ground, obviously very tired.

Jiang Xi pressed down on the brim of his hat, raised his foot and walked towards Lin Wang.

"Coming?" Lin Wang felt the shadows surrounding him, and smelled the familiar fragrance, and knew it was Jiang Xi without even looking.

Jiang Xi glanced at the dust on the ground, gave up the idea of ​​sitting down, and squatted next to Lin Wang: "Well, how long will it take for you?"

"After group B, Lao Yang will make a summary. Well, it will take about an hour." Lin Wang leaned back slightly and replied with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Jiang Xi and asked, "Isn't it tiring to squat like this?" ? Sit down."

"Dirty." Jiang Xi refused with a look of disgust.

Lin Wang cast a disdainful look: "There are so many things."

Then he ran upright to the cardboard box containing mineral water, tore off a piece of cardboard and put it under Jiang Xi's buttocks: "Sit."

Jiang Xi accepted it calmly. The thick cardboard not only insulates the dust on the ground but also insulates the hot heat on the concrete floor. Jiang Xi glanced at Lin Wang who was sitting on the ground and asked, "Is the ground not hot?"

"It's okay," Lin Wang turned his head and said, looked at Jiang Xi's side face and asked, "How do you think Group B played?"

Hearing Lin Wang's question, Jiang Xi cast his eyes on the basketball court. Group B played the same game as Lin Wang just now, and Zhuang Zhuang and Da Fei were in Group B.

"Strong's pass selection is too random. You see, No. 13 has already broken through No. 21's defense. He already has a safe lead position and can catch Strong's pass at any time, but Strong has too much lead. I gave the 21st time to react, look and see," Jiang Xi raised his voice excitedly, pointing at Zhuang Zhuang who was passing the ball.Zhuang Zhuang passed the ball to No. 13, but it was obvious that No. 21 had already reacted, and strode sideways over No. 13 to grab the ball: "Zhuang Zhuang has the ability to pass the ball accurately, but passing the ball requires more than just practice. A lot of thinking and summarizing."

Jiang Xi paused after finishing speaking, and continued: "But Zhuang Zhuang's defense is very good, he has an advantage in offensive rebounds, and a few putbacks are very beautiful. Da Fei has accurate shots and is also very skilled in fast breaks. However, it is obvious that his ability to use the screen is insufficient. The pick-and-roll requires the ball handler and the screener to be side by side, but you see," Jiang Xi stretched out both hands in front of Lin Wang: "The left hand is compared to the screener, and the right hand is compared to the screener. Da Fei," Jiang Xi stretched the distance between his two hands horizontally: "Da Fei first moved laterally to widen the distance with the screener, and if he went to break through, he would lose the neutral position. This is a very problem."

"Group B is not as good as you in Group A. Among the players in Group B who played fairly well, Da Fei is one, and there is No. 7, the small forward." Jiang Xi concluded after watching for a while.

After Lin Wang listened to Jiang Xi's analysis, he was a little surprised. Jiang Xi saw the problem just by watching a few movements, and hit the point directly. This kind of sharp analysis ability surprised Lin Wang very much. Jiang Xi always Surprise yourself inadvertently.

After listening to Jiang Xi's sound analysis, Lin Wang became more and more curious about this person. He straightened his body with strength, raised his eyebrows with a smile and said, "It's okay, let's play a game? Anyway, Group B hasn't finished yet."

"1v1?" Jiang Xi tilted his head, and asked with a bit of a smile: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day?"

Lin Wang raised his chin, hummed provocatively, and agreed.

"That's okay." Jiang Xi propped himself up and stood up, looked around the basketball court, chose a court that was shrouded in the shadow of buildings, and glanced at the number written on the ground with paint: "Court No. 6."

"Okay." Lin Wang stood up and patted the ashes on his hands: "Let's go."

Jiang Xi went to the shade of a tree next to him and tore off a leaf, wiped the branch with the leaf, put on his hat, tied his hair in front of his forehead, and walked to the No. 6 court.

At this time, Lin Wang also took a basketball from the basketball hoop, tilted his head and asked, "Three goals determine the winner?"

"Okay, follow your rules." Jiang Xi moved his wrist and ankle, took the ball thrown by Lin Wang, dribbled a few times to practice his hand, and then threw the ball back to Lin Wang, indicating the game start.

"Come on?" Lin Wang asked while staring at Jiang Xi while bending over to dribble.

Jiang Xi defended sideways, saw Lin Wang's eyes flicked to the right, and knew that he wanted to distract himself and take the opportunity to control the ball to break through, so he sneered in his heart: "What is it?"

"Sure..." Lin Wang smirked and swayed to the right. Jiang Xi immediately turned to the right to grab the ball. Lin Wang knew that the trick had succeeded, and immediately threw the ball to his left hand, blocking Jiang with his right. Xi's offense, ran to the basket with the ball, jumped under the basket to shoot, but unexpectedly, Jiang Xi suddenly burst out from the side, came to a block, and the ball flew out of the basket.

Jiang Xi shook his palm that was numb from hitting the ball hard just now, raised a provocative smile and asked, "What?"

Lin Wang laughed angrily at Jiang Xi's smile, and pressed his molars angrily: "Whoever loses, let's help them write their homework for the holiday, how about it?"

"Heh," Jiang Xi picked up the ball and threw it into Lin Wang's arms vigorously: "I dare not ask you to help me with my homework. I am fifty years old."

"Who are you looking down on?" Lin Wang took the ball, dribbling the ball with his body bent and said with a naughty smile, "Brother Wang will never lose."

Jiang Xi snorted, and the desire to win was aroused in his heart. He bent his body and opened his arms, approached slightly, narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "I will make you lose completely and be convinced."

The two were already very close to each other, but Jiang Xi intentionally narrowed the distance. When he spoke, all the breath sprayed on Lin Wang's cheeks, making Lin Wang's heart itch.

The atmosphere between the two was suddenly tense, and silent gunpowder filled the air between them.

The previous goal was at most a warm-up, and the strength between the two had not been fully demonstrated. After the two played against each other for a few rounds, Lin Wang realized that Jiang Xi was much stronger than he imagined.

Lin Wang hadn't met such a well-matched opponent for a long time, all the clockwork in his mind was tightened, and all the joints of his body were precisely locked and started to run at high speed.

"Little friend, it's a draw." Lin Wang leaned his right elbow against Jiang Xi, dribbled the ball sideways with his left hand, and said with a smirk, "How do you want me to score this ball?"

Beads of sweat hung on Jiang Xi's eyelashes, but Jiang Xi was not in the mood to care about it. Lin Wang's words were like adding fuel to a raging fire. Jiang Xi's desire for victory became more and more intense. He sneered and said, "This ball, how do you want me to dunk it?"

Lin Wang smiled without saying a word, and made two dribbles in a row, followed by a behind-the-back dribble, threw the ball from his right hand to his left, and quickly leaned to the left, ready to dribble forward to break through.

Jiang Xi also reacted quickly, and retreated sideways to the right to intercept. Unexpectedly, Lin Wang immediately retreated, dribbled the ball again, and threw the ball back to his right hand. Before Jiang Xi could react, he broke through from the right.

"Then I'll give you my favorite three-pointer." Lin Wang deliberately brushed Jiang Xi's ear, and said in a very embarrassing manner.

Before Jiang Xi could intercept him sideways, Lin Wang took a step and took off. He raised his hands and threw it in the air. The basketball in his hand drew a perfect parabola in the air, and finally entered the basket with a hollow attitude.

Jiang Xi watched the basketball enter the hoop, finally hit the concrete floor, bounced a few times on the concrete floor and then stopped slowly.His whole body was already dripping with sweat, Jiang Xi wiped the water off his eyelashes with the back of his hand, and put his hands on his knees to pant.

Although he lost, Jiang Xi didn't feel disappointed about losing, on the contrary, he was full of happiness.

For boys, there is nothing more satisfying than playing a basketball game.

"What did I say, kid?" Lin Wang turned around and snapped his fingers: "Brother Wang will never lose."
