senior [rebirth]

"Lin Xi!" When Jiang Lili, Yao Zijing and other girls from No. 02 Middle School arrived one after another, it was almost 30:[-].

The little girls really listened to what Liu Hao said about the cheerleaders, and they all dressed up beautifully.Yao Bauhinia and Jiang Lili even wore the same light-colored denim skirts, which look like sisters' outfits, and they look particularly eye-catching from a distance.

I don't know what the two of them just said, but Jiang Lili was in a state of excitement when she ran over.Jumping up and down in front of Lin Xi, he stretched out his hand and tugged at the bangs on his forehead that were blown by the wind twice, and at the same time pushed him a box of chocolates with a smile, and said, "Eat it! It's super delicious, imported from France." !"

"Lily!" Yao Zijing, who was behind her, ran after her, her cheeks were a little red and her expression was anxious.

"Hey." Jiang Lili laughed, and said with a mysterious face: "Papa Bauhinia brought it back. Come, let me eat the first one for you."

When her words fell to the ground, Yao Zijing over there almost ran to her.I saw that she stretched out her hand to pat Jiang Lili with a little shortness of breath, and then subconsciously cast her gaze to the side. After almost half a minute, she slowly looked at Lin Xi in front of Jiang Lili.

Lin Xi was wearing a light-colored jacket that looked obviously one size bigger at the moment. When Jiang Lili arrived just now, he was in a state of ecstasy, looking at the playground in front of him, not knowing what to think.However, after Jiang Lili approached him, he had slowly regained his senses. At this moment, his eyes fell on the dazzling array of handmade chocolates in front of him. After a pause, he smiled naturally: "Chocolate with wine?"

"Hey!" Jiang Lili responded, "Is that obvious? It's amazing."

Then he pushed the chocolate box and said: "Try it, Bauhinia brought it here specially, and said that you always cook for us, and I will bring you some."

Before Jiang Lili could finish speaking, Yao Zijing next to her stretched out her hand and hit her again, and the expression on her face seemed to become even more uncomfortable.

Lin Xi originally wanted to taste the liqueur chocolate after talking about it, but it seemed that Yao Zijing had sensed a different atmosphere among girls in Yao Zijing's actions just now.This atmosphere is actually no stranger to Lin Xi. When he opened a favorite cafe in later generations, he felt it from around the school girls who came over, and he gradually knew how to deal with it.

So the outstretched hand gave a slight pause, then hung back to the side of the leg again, raised his eyes and smiled politely and said, "Would you like to give the monitor and senior a taste first? They should play in a while, eat one to cheer them up."

After finishing speaking, he answered very gently: "I can eat later."

There was nothing unusual in his tone of voice when he said these words, he was quite good-tempered, and his eyes were the same as before, but he did not fall on the two girls for a long time, especially Yao Zijing, as if there was an invisible wall separating them .Jiang Lili was taken aback, and was about to say something when she suddenly saw a head approaching from behind: "Chocolate? Or French liqueur? Hey, let me try it."

The voice sounded like Liu Hao.

Seeing that he immediately reached out to reach for the chocolates in the box after he finished speaking, Jiang Lili subconsciously yelled: "Hey!"

Liu Hao had already taken one in his hand at this time, and when he heard her shout, his movements stopped in mid-air, and his voice was a little puzzled: "Ah? Can't you eat it?"

Jiang Lili glanced at Yao Zijing who had turned her face away from the beginning. After a pause, she hesitated and said, "...It's not impossible."

Liu Hao next to him heard it, and immediately showed a hearty smile and said, "Thank you then."

Then he wrapped the piece of chocolate in one bite, and while biting it said it was delicious, he stepped forward and put his arms around Lin Xi's shoulder, raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Linzi, I just heard that that boy Lei Yihai bullied you? "

Liu Hao took a sip of chocolate, and the atmosphere between Jiang Lili and Yao Zijing was still a little stiff, but now they heard his words, and they turned their eyes together again.

Lin Xi let out a cry, and was about to answer, when someone shouted in the middle of the playground: "Brother Hao! Open it! Hurry up!"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Hao who was next to him also patted Lin Xi on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I will talk to you when I come over, and watch it later, Brother Han and I will avenge you, ah."

Then while speaking, he took a few more chocolates from Jiang Lili's hand, and ran to the field after saying thank you.

Lin Xi looked in the direction of his running, and saw Guo Yu, who was holding the ball, gave him a thumbs up on the court.

Lin Xi rolled his eyes.

The color of the sky is very heavy, but the teenagers on the basketball court are full of energy, bickering and joking with each other, and from time to time they will directly fight in a particularly exaggerated manner.

The other boys and girls who got together because of them circled around the playground, and they were all excitedly waiting for the start of the match. Occasionally, they would listen to the teenagers fighting in interesting places, and they would follow along laugh it out.

Lin Xi was also smiling, but his eyes naturally fell on the senior standing in the No. [-] Middle School team, who was still very conspicuous even from a distance.He didn't join Liu Hao and the others in the scene where they were fighting with each other, but stood lazily on the edge, flexing his wrists, with a moderate smile on his face.

Lin Xi was looking at the neat curve of his neck under his short black hair, when he suddenly heard Yao Zijing next to him whisper hesitantly: "Lin Xi, you were bullied just now?"

Lin Xi turned to look at her, then smiled and said, "Yes, but it's nothing, the senior was here just now."

Yao Zijing snorted, and was worried about asking him if he was injured, when his eyes suddenly fell on Lin Xi.

After a pause, he realized later: "Hey, Lin Xi, isn't this your coat?"

Compared with Lin Xi's figure, this dress is really too big.

Hearing this, Lin Xi took out some desserts for other people from his schoolbag, and handed them to other students in his class who came to watch the game with him, and said, "Well, no."

The voice fell to the ground, and the joking sounds of the teenagers in the middle of the stadium disappeared at some point, replaced by sharp whistles.Everyone's attention seemed to be attracted immediately, and Lin Xi was naturally among them.He didn't take the chocolate in Jiang Lili's hand, as if he accidentally forgot about it while talking.

And Yao Zijing next to him looked at him for a while, then pursed his lips, turned his head and stopped talking.

Unlike some well-known official ball games, middle school students usually play more casually.But even so, some of them have their own strong sense of ritual.

Take Liu Hao for example.

He probably really attaches great importance to the last official cross-school ball game before the third year of high school, so from the beginning, he especially wanted to pull everyone to wear uniforms together. It's good to play brilliantly.

But the time was short, and not everyone was able to accompany him to do this, so Liu Hao could only retreat again and again, and in the end there were only a few sporadic people wearing uniforms on the field.

Among them, some boys want to wear it but the situation does not allow it, and some don't care about it at all, thinking that it's just a random game, so it doesn't need to be so troublesome.And if you look at it this way, Xu Hanlai probably really belongs to the very good-tempered type.From the training in Prince's Park the night before to the official game the next day, I accompanied Liu Hao to wear the ball uniform twice, which can be regarded as satisfying his subconscious desire to play a formal game to a certain extent.

But in fact, everyone who is familiar with it knows that with Xu Hanlai's usual casualness, if it wasn't because of Liu Hao's thinking, there is a high probability that he would not wear it in the end, and he might not even come to this game.

– Unlike Liu Hao, although Xu Hanlai played basketball very well, his interest was not particularly high.

Faced with this situation, what can Liu Hao say?A good brother in my heart, a high five on the court, the friendship of the young people is basically buried in my heart.

Because his height was about the same as Xu Hanlai's, and his physique was relatively stronger, Liu Hao was sent to the first jump ball after the start of the game. At 02:30 on the hour, when the whistle of the referee played by the physical education teacher blew, the basketball rose high, and the jumpers from the attached middle school and the first middle school took off at the same time.

Judging from the horizontal line after the jump, the two are actually similar, but Liu Hao's arms are not long enough, so he finally touched the ball one step later than the players in the attached middle school, and the basketball just passed to the blue zone of No. [-] Middle School.

And the opening advantage also fell into the hands of the attached middle school.

At that moment, there was obviously an excited shout from the spectators next to the attached high school, but No. [-] High School did not stop there, and easily shifted the rhythm of the field.

Among them, Liu Hao is still to be mentioned. Although he usually looks bluffing, he seems to be able to yell at everything, which is a bit unreliable.But when he was on the basketball court, he was unexpectedly able to calm down. After he missed the ball, there was no regret or discouragement on his expression. He immediately adjusted his footsteps and ran towards the basket in the middle school on the court.

When playing basketball, the densely populated areas on the basketball court often follow the ball.So when the ball was first passed to the players of the Affiliated Middle School and brought to the basket of the No. [-] Middle School, most of the players would naturally gather in the blue zone of the No. [-] Middle School. Only occasionally one or two guarded around the field. And looking at it this way, it seemed that only Liu Hao was running counter to everyone in the audience, going straight to the secondary basket.

Lin Xi heard a girl in his class next to her seem to understand something, and screamed: "Senior—!"

Lin Xi narrowed his eyes.

Then as expected, after finally getting the ball, Lei Yihai, who had already taken off for a slam dunk, was blocked by Xu Hanlai, who was guarding the basket early. Lei Yihai was only 1.7 meters five, which was obvious in front of Xu Hanlai's 1.8 meters three and his arm length. Some are not enough to see.The latter raised his arm and pressed down, and the ball was passed back to Guo Yu who was waiting on the sidelines, and then reached Liu Hao's hands.

Lin Xi heard more classmates beside him screaming for Liu Hao, who ran even harder after catching the ball.

But his eyes were only on the back of the black short-haired man under the basket, and his thin and powerful arms.

Students at this age usually don't distinguish forwards and guards as clearly as they do in professional games. Most of them go to whoever can score. The division of labor is generally chaotic.

But everyone who watched their trial match in the Parc des Princes yesterday knows that there is one person in the No. [-] middle school who has been very clear about his position from beginning to end.

It was Xu Han who came.

His style of play tends to stay at the basket. Taking advantage of his tall body, strong bounce and long arms and palms, he has an overwhelming advantage in rebounding. Except for precise three-pointers, almost no one can easily follow him. Score in hand.Just like Lei Yihai, although his jumping ability is strong enough and his timing is good, he will still be firmly covered by Xu Han.

The seniors were very stable when they played, and Liu Hao was on the offensive side while the other was on the defensive side. It was a golden combination in the first and second grades.

When I was in Prince's Park yesterday, Lin Xi once heard others regret that it was a pity that Xu Hanlai didn't play too much offense. He felt that if a person as dazzling as him can become the most dazzling scorer on the court, that would be a unified image.

But Lin Xi didn't think so.

It's not that Xu Hanlai can't score, he just rarely shows his edge.For example, when Liu Hao and others can score steadily like the current situation, he will naturally stop at the position where he should stop, but when the whole team gradually falls into a slump and it is difficult to control the ball and rhythm, he will stop again. Take the initiative.

From clean steals to powerful slam dunks, there's nothing he can't do.

Xu Hanlai is the one who can stand up for everyone in the team and let them score wildly without fear of making mistakes.

For Lin Xi, such a senior is already the most eye-catching one on the field.

He looked at it, and couldn't help but bend his eyes.

That's someone he likes.

The football game is gradually heating up, and everyone on the court is sweating even under the lower and lower temperature at this moment.

Among them, except for a boy from the attached high school who asked for a substitution midway because of his poor condition, everyone else basically played the full first half.

Watching them play is actually very interesting, because such intense competitive sports are always very emotional.Lin Xi watched for half the time, and felt as if he had discovered a lot.

For example, Liu Hao showed a completely different composure on the court. Even if he accidentally made a mistake, he could continue well, and he reacted quickly to make up for his mistakes in time. Promise--Break Lei Yihai's ball when you have nothing to do.

For example, Guo Yu, their squad leader, is a person who is very considerate and careful in everything on weekdays, but he will show annoyed look because of occasional mistakes on the court, and his mentality is a little green, but when Liu Hao ran over to comfort him After the sentence, he was able to quickly adjust his mentality again.

Another example is Lei Yihai. He played very hard at the beginning of the first half, and he seemed to be the top player in the middle school. He tried to dunk the ball countless times after he got the ball.

Later, Lin Xi heard from the senior who came to see him that Lei Yihai used to like dunking because of his powerful jumping. This is almost his signature skill on the basketball court. After all, the standard basketball hoop is set at a height of more than 3 meters. , not every boy of this age can be deducted.But since he played with Xu Hanlai and Liu Hao last year, Lei Yihai was almost overshadowed by Xu Hanlai, and he was so oppressive that he almost didn't score a goal in the game.

This is also the reason why he was a little scared of Xu Han's arrival psychologically.

It is very uncomfortable to be interrupted by the life that he is proud of in his favorite sports. Lei Yihai was depressed for a while after that time, and then he started to practice three-pointers.I heard from the senior next door that Lei Yihai practiced well later on, and when he came to fight with Xu Han, he could definitely score three points.But this time, perhaps because of what happened before the court, he once again aroused his strong fighting spirit against his seniors. He almost completely gave up three-pointers in the first 10 minutes of the first half and poured them to death.

... However, after countless failures, Lei Yihai seemed to take it a little further. Under the premise of the high score of the attached high school, he jumped up from outside the three-point line and took several balls for the attached high school.

That's why Lin Xi said that watching them play is very interesting.

Teenagers actually don’t think about other things in their brains when they are playing, but they don’t think about everything. In many cases, it doesn’t take a particularly long thinking process to change their thoughts, just an opportunity is enough.Take Lei Yihai for example, after he almost gnashed his teeth in the early stage, he suddenly scored three points under the disadvantage of the attached middle school. It seemed that he had reached some kind of reconciliation with himself amidst the screams of the attached middle school audience, and he never forcibly came to Xu Han again. bar.

Even after two or three three-pointers in the middle and getting cheers, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi is a person with too much empathy, so that he can always understand the motives of other people's various behaviors, even if he himself has just been hurt.

So when Lei Yihai looked over, he paused for half a second, and then smiled back at him briefly.

This smile is not particularly gentle, nor is it unreserved.But Lei Yihai still seemed to be hit by something, after a pause, he turned his head in embarrassment, and then he didn't dare to look at No. [-] Middle School for the whole first half.

Besides Lei Yihai, there is another person in the attached middle school that Lin Xi is more interested in.

Xu Zhewen.

The more he watched the game, the more Lin Xi found that Xu Zhewen was different from what he thought.As Xu Hanlai's younger brother, Xu Zhewen's facial features are obviously excellent. Although his height has not kept up because of the grade skipping, he can already get a glimpse of it from the ratio, and he will definitely not grow too bad in the future.

Coupled with factors such as family and style, Xu Zhewen's popularity in the attached high school is obviously high.

...but the audience in the middle school rarely screamed for him.

Because Xu Zhewen actually played defensively.

This is completely different from Lin Xi's guess about him. He originally thought that based on what he had heard, Xu Zhewen, the devil king of the middle school, should also be inclined to attack on the court --- at least he should be inclined to score.

But Xu Zhewen didn't, even though he actually has very strong reaction and attack power.

For example, the first time Liu Hao ran to the basket of the attached high school in a calm manner after losing the ball, Xu Zhewen seemed to know what he was going to do, and immediately followed to the basket of the attached high school. There was a tug-of-war with Liu Hao, who later controlled the ball by passing the ball – if he was not there at the time, there would be no defense at the basket in the middle school, allowing Liu Hao to score and score points.

And the same situation happened many, many times later.

Lin Xi was being shocked by his reflexes and predictive abilities, but vaguely realized that things didn't seem to be like this.

Xu Zhewen can always defend against Liu Hao's offense, not because of his strong prediction, but because he and Liu Hao have almost the same level of trust in Xu Hanlai's skills.

That's why I was able to follow Liu Hao's footsteps and run to the designated position every time, using a slightly thin body two years younger to attack and defend against him, and even steal the ball.

After the half-court ball, I was already sweating profusely, but I still persisted.

Occasionally, when he really couldn't help it, Xu Zhewen couldn't help showing a little bit of frustration on his face.

Lin Xi watched, unconsciously, from being wary of Xu Zhewen at the beginning, to finally becoming confused when he watched this boy who was one year younger than him playing extremely hard on the court.

Because he really felt that Xu Zhewen was different from what he had originally imagined.

––And now on the court in front of him, it seems that he can’t see the extreme and tragic ending of the later generations. The figures running under the basket are just students who are playing with their own strengths and weaknesses and youthful blood. .

And the tragedy that Lin Xi was afraid of and resisted seemed to be far away from this moment.
