"Mom!" Su Mao came home after going out to play all day, saw his mother sitting on the sofa knitting a sweater, and rushed over.

"Hey, don't come here!" Xia Rushi stopped him from showing affection, and said softly, "Mom told you that there is a little brother in my mother's belly, and you will scare him if you rush over like this, you know?"

"Little brother?" Su Mao immediately attracted the attention of the sweater in Xia Rushi's hand, "Knit me a sweater again? This color is so ugly! I don't want it!" Children often take pride in fighting against adults, thinking that they are aesthetically pleasing to adults. Being different is a great way to express yourself as unique.

"This dress is for your unborn brother, and the little shoes over here, are they cute?"

"Oh." Su Mao was suddenly depressed, "I'm going back to my room!"

"This child..." Xia Rushi shook her head, once again immersing herself in the little sweater in her hand.

The National Day holiday was a week away, Cheng Xi asked Su Teng where he wanted to go, but Su Teng felt that there were too many people going out at the moment, so it was better to stay at home, and Cheng Xi’s reselling of medicinal materials had just expanded to Quzhan City next door, and the National Day was used for busy work Just right.

Cheng Xi was really busy, Qu Zhan and Lu Ge ran at both ends, thanks to Cheng Weiquan who was always at ease with him, and didn't bother him much when he was not at home.

Xia Rushi basically said two words to Su Teng now: ignore.The two of them get along without incident, and Su Teng is quite satisfied with this state.

On the last day of the holiday, Cheng Xi hurried back from Quzhan City at nearly two o'clock in the evening. He was careful not to disturb others, and when he returned to the room, he jumped on the bed when he saw it.

This flutter found someone on the bed, Cheng Xi turned on the light and looked, Su Teng was rubbing his eyes and looking at him: "Brother, you are back."

Cheng Xi felt comforted, there was such a person who ran to your bed and waited for you after you went out, and let you hear "You are back", the meaning of home is nothing more than that.He nodded, took off his coat and lay down on the bed: "Brother, you are waiting for me."

Su Teng saw that there were light blue dark circles around his eyes, and he looked very tired, so he sat up hurriedly: "Well, I'm going back, you should sleep well." Su Teng was afraid that the two of them would not be able to sleep well with Cheng Xi.

"Don't." Cheng Xi pulled him back, "You just sleep here. You have to go to class tomorrow morning. I'm afraid I won't be able to get up. Call me then."

"All right. Why did you come back so late?" Su Teng lay back obediently again.

"There's something wrong with a pharmacy in Qu Zhan's side, bullying me... I don't even think about it, sir, am I someone who can be bullied..." Cheng Xi muttered, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he actually said He fell asleep while talking.

Su Teng hurriedly tucked the quilt for him, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After the National Day, the first monthly exam was ushered in in full swing.Su Teng was a little nervous. Class One was the best class in the first year of high school. The students could be divided into three types. One was born with a little cleverness, such as Cheng Xi, and the other was acquired hard work, such as his deskmate Liu Bin. There is also a combination of the two, such as Zhao Lei.Su Teng is still outside this class for the time being, and is trying to become the second type of person.

Cheng Xi didn't want him to be under too much pressure, but he felt relieved to see him studying hard. He switched places with Liu Bin in the evening self-study and sat next to Su Teng to give him a lecture.

The evening self-study classroom was very quiet, and Cheng Xi couldn't speak aloud, so Su Teng drew a circle when he encountered a problem he didn't know, wrote down his thoughts on the draft paper and handed it to him, he looked at it and wrote some hints, and handed it back .Until Su Teng fully understood the topic.He came and went, and sometimes Cheng Xi distracted him by writing some digressions that had nothing to do with his studies. He quickly used up a stack of draft papers. Cheng Xi bound them up and made them into a notebook for convenience. He reads it all the time.

Zhao Lei was sitting in front of Su Teng, but the two of them didn't communicate much.Su Teng is introverted, and has never been very good at talking to others. Zhao Lei has some opinions on the fact that he came in through a relationship, and even has some prejudice against him. There are only a handful of them.

And this day after the monthly exam, Su Teng rarely had to ask questions, and Cheng Xi didn't come over for the evening self-study, so he let him play for a while.The classroom was a bit noisy, and the teacher turned a blind eye and chatted with other teachers in the corridor outside.Zhao Lei turned around suddenly: "Su Teng, can you lend me the book Cheng Xi gave you to read?"

"Hey?" Su Teng raised his head, "Those... are all basic questions, you, you probably won't need them." He was not very good at rejecting others, he stuttered.In the conversation between Cheng Xi and him, there are not only topics, but also a lot of things in Cheng Xi's life, and even jokes that Cheng Xi heard elsewhere. He thinks this thing is a bit *, and he is not willing to show it to others. .

Zhao Lei didn't expect him to refuse, so she raised her voice slightly: "Shouldn't classmates help each other?"

"Then..." Su Teng hesitated again and again, and took out the draft book from the drawer, "I'll cut out all the irrelevant conversations and give it to..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Lei pulled the notebook in his hand and took it in his hand: "It's okay!"

"Give it back to me after you finish reading it..." Su Teng had no choice but to say.

Zhao Lei turned her head back a long time ago.

Compared with Su Teng's neat and compact handwriting, Cheng Xi's handwriting is somewhat messy and unruly, but it is more free and easy, vivid and imposing.Zhao Lei took the draft book. At first, she focused on reading the questions. When Cheng Xi thought differently from her, she took out the notebook to record it. Later, she was attracted by Cheng Xi's daily chat. I didn't even do a homework problem.

This was already an unforgivable mistake, but Zhao Lei couldn't stop taking the draft back to the dormitory, and hid under the covers at night and continued to read it with a flashlight.The image of Cheng Xi shown in the conversations in the draft book is quite different from his usual calm and stable image. In the draft book, he can tell stories, tell jokes, and even act like a baby with his brother. Zhao Lei read these words, as if from the inside. I got to know Cheng Xi again outside.

Su Teng asked her for the drafts twice, but she once said that she hadn't finished reading it, and once said that she left it in the dormitory.

A week later, the results of the monthly exam came out. Cheng Xi lived up to expectations and took No.1, and Zhao Lei was second, a full twenty points behind him.Cheng Xi didn't pay attention to these things. What he cared about was his brother. His brother got No. 40 eighth in the exam, that is, No. 10 from the bottom.Cheng Xi knew that his brother would be unhappy about this result for a long time, so he invited his brother to play basketball after school. Sometimes sports are really a good way to vent.

Looking at his ranking, Su Teng really felt uncomfortable, but he also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. This was just the beginning of school, and he gradually got used to it, and his grades would always catch up.It's not that he has confidence in himself, but that Cheng Xi has given him great confidence.When he was in elementary school, his grades were also at the bottom of the class. Later, with Cheng Xi's help, didn't he also get admitted to the No. [-] Middle School?Knowing that Cheng Xi was afraid that he would think too much, he said playing basketball, so he said: "I'm not unhappy, but it's been a long time since I played basketball, and it's good to play a game. Brother, go and occupy the field."

Seeing that his brother is so sensible and well-behaved, Cheng Xi picked up his schoolbag with a smile: "Success, I'll go first, take your time." Xiao ran out of the classroom.

Su Teng slowly cleared the table, and Lu Tao walked up to him next to him: "Are you guys going to play ball? Can I add one too?"

"Okay. I'm not very good at fighting..." Su Teng still has self-knowledge. He usually only dares to play one-on-one with his younger brother, and has never joined other people's battles.

"That's okay, anyone can do it with more practice." Lu Tao looked at Su Teng, Su Teng was lowering his head to sort out the books on the table, his side face was very soft, and his long eyelashes made his heart itch, thinking Go grab it.

When the two walked to the basketball court, Cheng Xi was already practicing shooting at the basket. When he saw his brother coming over, he threw the ball over, but was intercepted by Lu Tao halfway.Lu Tao grinned, slapped the ball twice, and said, "Let's play one-on-one, and whoever loses will play."

Cheng Xi nodded: "Brother, you come first." He walked outside the arena.

"I, I'm really not good at playing." Su Teng looked at his brother, and Lu Tao handed him the ball, "It's okay, I'll see if you dribble the ball twice."

Cheng Xi also said beside him: "Let go, Lu Tao won't laugh at you. If he dares to laugh at you, I will vent my anger on you."

Su Teng hesitated holding the ball, dribbled it up and ran to the basket.

Lu Tao was too embarrassed to stop him standing there.It's true that he is not very good at it. Lu Tao felt that Su Teng could miss the ball without him taking a shot to block it.Su Teng finally dribbled the ball over, Lu Tao symbolically moved two steps back and forth, and intercepted the ball with a stretch of his hand.

Su Teng stood there with a blushing face: "I just said I can't."

Lu Tao smiled and was about to speak a few words of encouragement when Cheng Xi stepped forward: "I don't think you are playing very well. You watch me avenge you." Then he turned to Lu Tao, "You choose to defend Or attack?"

Lu Tao posed with the ball in his hand, and answered him directly with his movements.

Neither of them wanted to lose face in front of Su Teng, they tried their best to win.As soon as Lu Tao came up, he rushed to the basket with all his might, and Su Teng, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but sweat for his brother.Cheng Xi didn't rush, and calmly followed the movement, aiming at the right time to catch the ball.Lu Tao turned around with the ball, straightened up and shot a jumper.

It's a pity that Cheng Xi blocked it, and the ball went wide, hit the backboard, and failed to enter the frame.

Lu Tao went off and Su Teng came on.

Playing with Cheng Xi, Su Teng became much smoother, trotting all the way and successfully dribbling the ball to the basket.When Cheng Xi played with Su Teng, he didn't compete to win or lose. If he could, he would rather pretend to lose to make his brother happy.When defending, he is always very skillful and keeps making moves, and does not let his brother lose the ball easily.Su Teng went to the easiest place to shoot before throwing the ball into the basket.

"It's just a little short. Next time I continue, I will definitely make it in." Cheng Xi encouraged him.

If Lu Tao was replaced, Cheng Xi would no longer intentionally release water. This time it was his turn to attack. His tactics were not violent, but with his excellent physical fitness and flexible steps, Lu Tao was not able to stop him, and he quickly let him run. When the ball reaches the inside line, find the right time to make a fancy dribble and make a three-step layup.

The basketball spun around twice on the hoop, and Su Teng stared at it without blinking, until the ball fell into the hoop before exhaling, giving his brother a thumbs up in his heart.

Basically, the rhythm of the three of them is constantly switching between fighting and tenderness. Generally speaking, Cheng Xi plays better than Lu Tao.Of course, even if Cheng Xi played badly, in Su Teng's heart his brother was the best.
