Cross the sea

When Li Chengyun returned to the court, the first half was already over. Shen Linwei slumped on the folding chair and looked behind Li Chengyun with his head hooked. After searching for a long time, he didn't see anyone, so he asked, "Where is Xiao Yin?"

Li Chengyun took a bottle of water from the ground casually: "I have something to go back home."

Shen Linwei was stunned for a second, then raised his head and let out a long breath: "Do you know how hard it took me to ask her out today? Take a look at this?"

Shen Linwei pointed to the brand-new sneakers on his feet, "Did you see them? They have been discontinued, and they were specially collected from shoe dealers at a high price, just to show off in front of the seniors."

Li Chengyun glanced at it with a smile, the black coffee color scheme looked familiar.

"Your shoes... are they the same as Hezhen?"

I don't know who said such a sentence, Shen Linwei paused and looked towards the center of the court.

"Hey."

Shen Linwei yelled at Hezhen, saw Hezhen coming over with the ball in his arms, and said, "How much did you pay for your shoes?"

He Zhen looked down at the shoes on Shen Linwei's feet. The two of them didn't feel that they were standing together. Now that the two pairs of shoes touched each other, the color and workmanship of the pair under his feet suddenly looked shabby.

"The routing of your shoes."

Zhou An squatted at He Zhen's feet, looked down for a while, and raised his head with a cold smile on his face: "It's a bit crooked."

Shen Linwei took a look at He Zhen, walked over and slapped the basketball in He Zhen's hand, then ran forward a few steps, reaching out to grab the ball in his arms.

"Li Chengyun, do you want to fight? Don't fight the four of us."

Li Chengyun sat cross-legged on the steps, and raised half a bottle of water in his hand when he heard this, Shen Linwei's face was not very good, the senior who bothered to call ran away, and now he was blocked by a fake shoe.

Shen Linwei turned around and made a jump shot inside the three-point line. The move was pretty cool, but the shot was not accurate enough. Shen Linwei spat on the ground.

He Zhen stood still, with no emotion on his face. Li Chengyun put the water bottle at his feet, raised his arms and shook He Zhen: "Don't you stand there to bask in the sun?"

The sun was shining at noon, He Zhen stood on the open space for a while, his head seemed to be on fire, He Zhen took a look at Li Chengyun, raised his legs and walked over.

The boys' backpacks and towels were piled up on the bench, and the only empty folding chair was brought by Shen Linwei, and it seemed that Hezhen could not sit on it.

Getting along with other people was more unbearable than he expected, He Zhen stood in front of the bench for a while, but couldn't help but glance at Li Chengyun.

Not long after, the water bottle at his feet was empty. Li Chengyun put his arms behind his back and raised his chin slightly.

Just now when Zhou An said that he was wearing fake shoes, Li Chengyun didn't help him out. This kind of thought only appeared for less than a second and was quickly suppressed, but he didn't look down on me either. good person.

He Zhen thought so, and walked towards Li Chengyun.

He Zhen sat down next to Li Chengyun, and the distance between the two was about a punch. Li Chengyun kept his eyes on the court and did not look at him.

"Auntie bought the shoes?"

Li Chengyun opened his mouth abruptly, Hezhen reacted for a while before nodding, but found that Li Chengyun couldn't see it, so he said "yes"

Li Chengyun turned his head, met Shang Hezhen's eyes, and smiled: "It's so fake, the toe caps are not symmetrical."

Hearing this, He Zhen pursed his lips lightly, then followed Li Chengyun's gaze and looked down. It was true that the toe of the left shoe was much rounder than that of the right.

The two funny-looking sneakers made He Zhen feel a little funny. He raised the toe of the shoes and shook them back and forth twice before whispering, "No wonder my right foot hurt so much when I was running on my side."

Shen Linwei in the center of the court grabbed a rebound, yelling extremely loudly, Hezhen spoke in a low voice, except for the first two words, the rest was suppressed by Shen Linwei's voice.

Li Chengyun probably didn't hear it. He Zhen glanced at it from the corner of his eye. Li Chengyun's expression was casual, and he didn't want him to repeat it again.

The four of them had a great time playing a game. Without Li Chengyun, Shen Linwei was like a firecracker on fire.

Zhou An looked at Li Chengyun for help several times, but Li Chengyun just smiled and didn't intend to play.

"Zhou An doesn't seem to want to fight anymore."

He Zhen looked at it for a while and said to Li Chengyun.

Li Chengyun looked at Zhou An who kept winking at him, yawned, and then hummed briefly.

The topic that was finally started ended neatly and neatly. He Zhen moved his hand on his knee. The movement range was not large, but he didn't know why it attracted Li Chengyun's attention.

Li Chengyun sat up straighter in He Zhen's peripheral vision, and then shortened the distance between the two of them with only one punch.

Li Chengyun got very close, he stretched out his hand to pinch Hezhen's finger, shook it lazily twice, and sighed casually: "The fingers are really thin."

The temperature covering his fingers was very hot and dry. He really wanted to see Li Chengyun's expression, but he didn't even dare to look up.

He Zhen let Li Chengyun fiddle with his fingers back and forth, until Li Chengyun lost interest and sat back in his original position, He Zhen responded to Li Chengyun's compliment and whispered thank you.

Li Chengyun returned to the original posture, and He Zhen could feel Li Chengyun's gaze on his back. After a pause, He Zhen heard the people around him say: "It seems that Auntie really loves you, and I don't want you to suffer any hardships. "

"Ah."

He Zhen nodded, "My mother is working very hard."

Li Chengyun didn't speak any more, only the sound of the basketball hitting the ground was left in the empty field, He Zhen didn't know if he said something wrong, sat for a while, and He Zhen mustered up the courage to turn his head.

"I——" He Zhen just uttered the first word, but was interrupted by Li Chengyun's mouth. Li Chengyun smiled at him, then turned his eyes back to the court and said, "Let's watch the game."

Hezhen didn't play until the sun went down. In the middle, Li Chengyun was called to play 1v1 with Shen Linwei for a while. There were five goals in total, and Li Chengyun only scored two.

Seeing that Li Chengyun could not destroy Shen Linwei's prestige, Zhou An frowned and told Li Chengyun to be serious. Li Chengyun spread his hands innocently as he walked down the court, and replied sincerely: "I really can't beat it."

Seeing Li Chengyun approaching, He Zhen stood up and handed him a bottle of water, and Li Chengyun took it.

"Don't wear fake shoes next time."

Li Chengyun unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water, looked at Hezhen with a smile, and then said to him in a considerate tone: "It's inconvenient to play. If I really fall, I can't explain it to my aunt."

At the end of the exercise time, other people came towards them. He Zhen didn't have time to prepare a more perfect answer, so he had better say: "Understood, thank you."

An Qianqiu was rolling out dumpling wrappers when she received a call from He Zhen. When the phone screen lit up, she ran to wash her hands, but when she came back, the phone had already hung up.

An Qianqiu returned to the room with her mobile phone, and just as she closed the door, the screen lit up again.

"I ran into Aunt He today, and she said that you went out to play with your friends."

An Qianqiu sat on the bay window and continued, "So, have you played with Li Chengyun?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was noisy, and occasionally you could hear the notification sound of the arrival of the bus. An Qianqiu glanced sideways at the darkened sky: "Are you home yet?"

"The place where I play is in the suburbs, a little far from home."

He Zhen's words were euphemistic. An Qianqiu grew up with He Zhen, so of course he knew how far He Zhen meant "some distance".

"When I went there, I met him with a senior sister."

An Qianqiu didn't answer the call, she listened to the voice of He Zhen on the other end of the phone. He Zhen was good at summarizing, but he babbled on about the day he spent with Li Chengyun.

He told what color clothes Li Chengyun wore, drank a few bottles of water, and used his left hand when dribbling.

"correct."

He Zhen seemed to have moved to a quiet place, and his voice became clearer, "I was wearing those fake sneakers today, and I just bumped into Shen Linwei."

"Is there something wrong with you?"

An Qianqiu was furious, she stood up and walked around the room, "Who are they? They can tell fake shoes at a glance!"

No one spoke for a long time, An Qianqiu took off the phone and took a look, the call time was still counting, An Qianqiu yelled into the receiver impatiently.

After a while, the person on the other side said softly, "I just want to see his reaction."

An Qianqiu opened her mouth into the microphone, but didn't know what to say.

"Do you know, he didn't go to play with Shen Linwei and the others. I sat next to him all the time. He praised me for my thin fingers and told me not to wear those shoes when I played next time, because I was worried that I would get hurt."

He Zhen's murmur to himself was mixed with the roar of the car engine, even so, An Qianqiu still captured the trembling joy of He Zhen's ending.

When the street lights downstairs came on, An Qianqiu asked, "So when they said you were wearing fake shoes, did Li Chengyun help you out?"

"It's not important."

He Zhen leaned against the car window, looked down at the fingers touched by Li Chengyun, and said with a smile: "I held hands with him, that's the most important thing."

An Qianqiu paused for a few seconds, moved the phone away from her ear, put her lips on the receiver and commented: "You are really sick."
