Contest

After training, Tao Xihong and Xu Jiang made an appointment for the next game.

Xu Jiangtong went home and took a comfortable bath, recalling his performance on the court today, he felt a little surprised.

For a long time after the accident, he had physical discomfort with volleyball, unable to look directly at the route of the ball, and even subconsciously rejected the passing action.

After arriving in Russia, he also had an appointment with his classmates. Although the situation improved, he still couldn't concentrate.

But at the moment Tao Xihong ran towards him willfully, a long-lost thought broke into his brain-he wanted to hand the ball to Tao Xihong, and wanted to protect him from injury.

In the next few days, the temperature in Jingzhou plummeted, and the cold wind howled.It was the most difficult season of the year again, but Xu Jiangtong's mood was more stable than in previous years.

On Wednesday afternoon, he headed to the gym as scheduled.Tao Xihong has been practicing for a long time and is sitting on a chair to rest.

Seeing a few unfamiliar faces standing on the field, he hesitated and stopped.

"These are the teachers who participated in the competition." Tao Xihong stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and introduced, "These two are teachers from the Physical Education Institute.

It turned out to be teammates.Xu Jiangtong greeted them friendly.

"I heard from Xiaotao that Mr. Xu's skills are very good. He didn't play for seven years, and he came back from practicing in one afternoon." One of the teachers praised enthusiastically.

Just as Xu Jiangtong was about to deny it, Tao Xihong wrapped his arms around his shoulders again, pinched his face blatantly, and flaunted, "Yes, Mr. Jiang has a high golf IQ. Sure enough, smart people can learn everything quickly."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Thinking of the past, Xu Jiangtong rarely raised his voice, "I'm just an ordinary person."

After speaking, he broke away from Tao Xihong's arm and walked straight to the sidelines.

Tao Xihong blinked in confusion, feeling that he still had a lot of things to hide from him.

Due to the lack of numbers for the match, the last six were divided into two groups, and started 3v3 practice around Xu Jiangtong's running-in with other attackers.

The first time he cooperated with his teammates, Xu Jiangtong was still full of loopholes. Several times, because the height of the ball was not high enough, the spike could not pass the net, and Tao Xihong blocked all the tactical cooperation he finally played.

At the end of the three rounds, the student team headed by Tao Xihong won a complete victory.

"Who swore that he was going to knock me out last time?" Tao Xihong put on a towel, as if he had won the Olympic champion and wore the national flag, asking for credit in front of Xu Jiangtong, "At your current level, you can improve to Is it the level of a formal game?"

"How did you talk to the teacher?" Gao Xun stepped forward and gave him a smack, "Don't say seven years, let you rest for a month, and you don't know how much your skills have deteriorated."

After finishing speaking, he hurried to Xu Jiangtong's side to smooth things over: "Although Xiao Tao is mischievous, he is the secondary attacker with the strongest comprehensive ability in the team. Teacher Xiao Jiang, don't be offended."

"I don't mind, I am very happy to play with him." Although Xu Jiangtong said so, his heart was filled with unprecedented unwillingness.

Even if he doesn't cooperate well with others, he knows his level.

Closing his eyes, he can still clearly remember the moment of passing the ball, and he can catch Tao Xihong running from the corner of his eye.He predicted his own movements, like a beast lurking in the dark night, waiting for an opportunity to bite the prey's neck quickly and accurately.

"Been beaten into autism by me?" Tao Xihong lifted his towel and smiled, "You still have a practice task today."

"what?"

"Serve." Tao Xihong picked up a ball from the basket, flicked his right wrist, and then switched to his index finger for support.The ball spun steadily under his fingertips.

"That's right, serving is also very important." The teachers were about to take a bath, and they called out to Tao Xihong, "Little Tao, you can practice with him for a while."

"No problem, you guys go first." Tao Xihong raised the corner of his mouth triumphantly, and the ball in his hand stopped instantly.

Xu Jiangtong got up, took the ball from him, and walked outside the serving line.While thinking about the route of the ball, his eyes caught the plastic bottle on the diagonal sideline.

He frowned slightly, and immediately understood Tao Xihong's intentions, took a deep breath, ran up, threw the ball, and took off.

At the moment of hitting the ball, the corners of the clothes lifted up a large area under the large swing of the body, but instead of revealing the expected white waist, it was a close-fitting waist protector.

Under the restraint of black high-fiber material, his waist curve is more slender and attractive, like a carefully carved villain in a shadow puppet.

Tao Xihong glanced at it inadvertently, and his mind became a mess.

With a crisp sound, the ball precisely hit the mineral water bottle that was as small as a fist in the field of vision.

"Excellent!" Tao Xihong walked over to straighten the water bottle and walked to his side, "So fast progress?"

"This is my original strength." Xu Jiangtong's eyes were aching, and he lifted up his clothes to wipe his sweat, revealing the protective gear on his waist.

Seeing this, Tao Xihong asked worriedly, "Have you ever hurt your back?"

"No." Xu Jiangtong knew what he was asking, and gently hooked the edge of the waist protector with his fingers, "It's cold in winter."

The word "cold" dragged out an ending sound, which sounded aggrieved and coquettish.Tao Xihong was amused, and touched the depressions on both sides of his vertebrae.

Xu Jiangtong's back stiffened, he ran away quickly, and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

Seeing his lively appearance, Tao Xihong was finally relieved, and looked at the little beauty's body with unsatisfied interest: "That's good, men can't hurt their backs."

Xu Jiangtong clicked his tongue irritably, walked to the pool, twisted a cold towel over his face, and said in a muffled voice, "I'll take a break."

"Keep warm and don't catch a cold." Tao Xihong stared at the plastic bottles on the sidelines and started playing by himself.

But his attention was still on Xu Jiangtong, and he felt that his mood had taken a turn for the worse, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.After the other teachers finished tidying up, put on their winter clothes and went out through the side door talking and laughing, Tao Xihong walked back to him and said, "Let's take a bath together."

"What?" The towel slowly slipped off Xu Jiangtong's face.

Tao Xihong picked up the cold towel and frowned slightly: "Otherwise, you still want to go home and wash it? It's minus five or six degrees outside."

After finishing speaking, he raised the eyes of the little beauty again, and asked, "You are so open-minded, why are you embarrassed today?"

Xu Jiangtong remembered the scars on his body, and hesitantly avoided making eye contact.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Tao Xihong patted his head boldly, "There are partitions in the bathroom in the gymnasium, so if you don't like it, don't look at it."

Anyway, it's a long time coming.
