He is wild and cowardly

When Tao Yushu arrived at the entrance of the gymnasium, he sent Xi Fengyu a WeChat message and asked him which door to enter.

The Huaxin Gymnasium is small, with only two floors. But the environment is good and the facilities are new. Therefore, teams from many units often train here, and occasionally people reserve the venue for activities.

Today is probably because it is a working day, there is no one,? The door is deserted.

Xi Fengyu replied quickly: [Wait,? I'll come out to pick you up. 】

Tao and Shu leaned outside the door and waited.

He stared blankly at the lush shrubs in the flower bed at the door, thinking that he was really obsessed.

Hearing that it was Chi Ying's birthday, he agreed to come, but he was empty-handed, why did he come here?

Do you want to say happy birthday dryly?

...It's too weird.

His brain seemed to be confused,? He couldn't think of anything,? He kicked his legs lightly in boredom,? He caught a glimpse of someone coming out of the door behind him.

Tao Yushu subconsciously stood up straight, stretched out his hand to pull the mask, and when he looked up, he saw Chi Ying who stopped beside him.

Chi Ying probably ran over, or just got off the field at all, wearing only a jersey that was a little thin in this weather, with the sleeves rolled up to the forearm, standing in front of him like a poplar, The chest is still heaving together.

Tao Yushu parted his lips slightly, and was briefly absent-minded for two seconds, "Why are you?"

Obviously Xi Fengyu said he was the one who came out to pick him up.

Chi Ying turned her face to the side, leaned slightly, sweat ran down the handsome outline, as if she didn't hear clearly, "What?"

With a distance of half a meter, Tao and Shu could still feel the clear heat on his body after exercising.

"It's nothing." Tao and Shu said.

Chi Ying nodded, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his elbow, "Let's go."

The two of them didn't speak the whole way.

Chi Ying was tall and had long legs, walking in front, Tao Yushu missed him by half a step and fell behind.

He didn't expect that the person who came out to pick him up would be late, and his mood was suddenly disturbed. He didn't have time to say what he had planned to say hello when he went in, and it's hard to say it now.

ER has an entire training hall, which is very large, including a basketball court and a badminton court, and there are several table tennis tables next to it.

When Tao Yushu followed Chi Ying in, Xi Fengyu and the others were sitting on the ping-pong table chatting. When they saw someone coming in, they waved and smiled from afar, "Xiao Shu, you're here!"

Tao and Shu nodded.

Xi Fengyu jumped off the table, came over in three or two steps, hugged his neck affectionately and walked in, introduced the field to him, and said that the assistant's leg hurts, just when Tao Yushu came over, let him play 2V2 confrontation instead.

Tao Yushu didn't expect him to play on the court, so he was stunned for a moment, "I didn't bring my sneakers."

You don't need to change your clothes, but you can't play in flat shoes.

"What size shoe do you have?"

"...41."

So Xi Fengyu sighed "Your feet are so small" and took off the shoes on the assistant's feet, telling him to wear them first if he didn't find it smelly.

The auxiliary Qi kicked his feet in the air.

"..."

Tao Yushu put on the shoes slowly.

Because he has repeatedly stated that he is really not good at playing, to show fairness, Tao and Shu are assigned to He Chiying.

Tao Yushu glanced at Chi Ying.

Chi Ying didn't say yes or no, and didn't have much expression on his face. He just held the ball and threw it to the assistant who was watching the game. He raised his chin and signaled him to serve, "Come on."

Tao and Shu said they were not very good at fighting, but they really didn't know how to fight. They were not humble at all.

He never played ball with his classmates in middle school, and he had no chance after his debut. He relied on treadmills to maintain his exercise. His physical fitness was not bad, but his skills were equivalent to zero.

When assisting the serve, the four waited in line on both sides. Chi Ying put his hands on his knees and bowed, his forearms bulging with blue veins due to exercise.

As soon as the ball was thrown, he jumped up and caught it. With his height advantage, almost no one could stop him.

There are no rules in 2V2, and there are no referees. A goal counts as a score. Therefore, Xi Fengyu's style is quite unrestrained. Others play with their hands.

Although Tao Yushu didn't even touch the ball more than half a time, after running down the court like this, they also started to sweat and panted a little. During the intermission, they unscrewed a bottle of mineral water.

Xi Fengyu was afraid that he would not feel a sense of participation, so he suggested thoughtfully, "I'll give you the ball at the beginning of the next game, you can vote."

Tao Yushu shook his head with a smile, "I can't vote."

"You try it, it's okay, just play around, we won't laugh at you."

At the beginning of the next game, Xi Fengyu really handed him the ball.

Tao Yushu stood stupidly in the center holding the ball, and the others all smiled a little and looked at him leisurely. When he looked at the ball in his hand, he suddenly felt that he was really like a kid who ran here. idiot.

What the hell is he doing.

"Vote." Chi Ying said suddenly.

Tao and Shu were stunned for a moment, then looked at Chi Ying.

Chi Ying looked at him, as if aware of his embarrassment and hesitation, and said lightly, "You vote, it's okay."

Tao and Shu looked at him, and suddenly remembered that when they were playing games together, Chi Ying always said "it's okay".

It's okay, let's shoot.

It's okay, I'm here.

It's okay, wait for me there.

Tao and Shu also love to hear him say "it's all right". When they hear these two words, they always feel at ease, as if they don't have to worry about anything.

Tao Yushu nodded as if he had some kind of assurance, and the inexplicable embarrassment and shame in his heart were swept away. He jumped on the spot, threw the ball in mid-air, and tried to throw the ball into the basket.

But he really lacks skills and strength, the ball draws a parabola that obviously cannot touch the basket, and it is about to fall——

Ke Chiying jumped up suddenly, raised his right arm, raised and pressed the ball, and dunked it firmly into the basket.

The basketball fell from the net and hit the ground with a dull and muffled sound.

A group of people were stunned.

Tao Yushu was also stunned, her heart seemed to jump up with the sound of a basketball hitting the ground.

"Damn it! Brother! This is a foul!" Xi Fengyu, who came back to his senses, began to yell, "How can it be like this?? I've never seen anything like this!!"

"Why not?" Chi Ying threw the ball over, stopped beside Tao Yushu, and signaled to the assistant who was scoring points, "Score a point."

The assistant was stunned for a while with his mouth open, couldn't help laughing and cursing, and then added two points to Tao and Shu's column.

Chi Ying stood with his back facing Tao and Shu, his sweat-soaked jersey stuck to his back like that, showing undulating lines with his breathing.

Tao and Shu felt their hearts beating faster than they dunked a hundred baskets by themselves.

After playing for more than ten minutes, Xi Fengyu yelled that he was hungry and asked to eat.

A group of people went to change clothes in the locker room, and Tao Yushu also changed shoes with them. When they came out, only Chi Ying was left in the locker room.

Chi Ying had already changed his trousers, and he didn't seem to notice that anyone was still there. Just as Tao and Shu opened their mouths, they saw him lift up his jersey and get rid of it. His waist was tucked into baggy slacks.

Tao and Shu turned around as if they had been scalded.

Came back to his senses, and quickly spurned himself in his heart——

Every year when I shoot the "Mr. Trend" pictorial, what kind of □□ I haven't seen, domestic big models, European and American supermodels, why is he blushing now?

Looking up again, Chi Ying had already spotted him, didn't speak, just glanced at him, then knelt down to change his shoes.

Tao Yushu calmed down, thought for a while, walked over and said, "Sorry, it's your birthday today, I didn't have time to prepare a present."

Chi did not look up, "Today is not my birthday."

"Ah?" Tao Yushu was at a loss, "Then why did Xi Fengyu say it was your birthday?"

"He was talking nonsense."

"..."

Tao and Shu somewhat guessed the reason for Xi Fengyu's nonsense, but they didn't know what to say, they were speechless for a while, and then the atmosphere fell silent again.

Chi Ying got up after tying her shoelaces, put her bag on her back, and was about to leave. When she walked to the door, as if remembering something, she turned her face and said lightly, "Thanks for what happened last time."

Tao Yushu shook his head, "You don't need to thank me, I just told the truth."

Chi Ying looked at him for a while, then slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, "Thank you anyway."

Tao Yushu looked at him in a daze.

The polite alienation in Chi Ying's speech is not difficult to detect, but it is because it is so obvious that it makes people feel aggrieved.There was no reason for his grievance.

Because Chi Ying's personality is always like this, coldness and alienation are probably the norm, but he treats him as if he has never had that side. Although he talks less, he always has warmth.

But Chi Ying has no obligation to keep warm for a person who can never respond.

After a while, Tao Yushu forced a smile and said softly, "You're welcome...we're all friends."

As if stabbed by a certain word, Chi Ying paused, turned around, and looked over with heavy eyes.

Tao Yushu's shoulders were stiffened by his eyes, and they became tense for no reason.

"You may be mistaken." Chi Ying said.

Tao and Shu were stunned, "What?"

Chi Ying stared at him with dark eyes, and said word by word, "I can't be friends with you."

The blood faded from Tao Yushu's face little by little, his face turned pale with embarrassment, he opened and closed his lips several times, unable to speak.

He pinched his palm, tried his best not to tremble, and sounded more stable, at least not to make himself look like a complete clown on this trip today, "Don't say that."

His voice was soft and low, the tails of his eyes drooped slightly because of grievance and sadness, and the corners of his mouth were also slightly downturned.

He may have been born with a reassuring face.

Others Chi Ying didn't know, but he couldn't harden his heart against this face.

Chi Ying stared at him for a long time, then let out a deep breath.

The boy has a stubborn personality and his voice is always cold, but at this moment, he tried his best to slow down his voice, as if helpless, he opened his mouth again.

"I still like you." Chi Ying said.

"Of course you can pretend that you don't know, but you clearly know that you still want to be my friend," Chi Ying laughed, "That's not okay."

Tao and Shu blinked quickly a few times.

Chi Ying is... the second confession?

Taking advantage of the few seconds he was in a daze, Chi Ying suddenly walked a few steps closer and lowered her head to look at him.

Tao and Shu'er had an obvious crimson color on their roots, and even one side of their cheeks was slightly pink. It's hard to say whether it was because they were a little emotional just now, or something else.

Chi Ying looked at him for a few seconds, then bent down, and the hot breath from his breath brushed his face.

Tao Yushu raised his head in panic, and his eyes suddenly widened.

But in the end, he only brushed his lips, restrained and tenderly dropped a kiss on his cheek.

"Because I imagined it that way, understand?"
