Chapter 18: The Game of Basketball
It's the season of lilacs blooming again, walking on campus, the breeze is gentle, and the tip of the nose comes from a light and ethereal fragrance, which is so pleasant.
The sunlight shines through the clusters of flowers hanging from the branches on both sides of the main road of the campus, and projects them on the sweaty teenagers on the basketball court.
Free, enthusiastic, and unrestrained, I can't help but make adolescent girls stop and gaze.
Then his heart raced and his cheeks turned crimson.
This afternoon, there is a friendly basketball game between the sophomore and the third grader.
Cheng Yu had already hinted that Lin Wan would participate, and even inadvertently reminded him just now that he would remember to bring him a bottle of water when he came.
Cheng Yu didn't know why he was so persistent about wanting her to watch the game this time.
Maybe there is a nerd in the next class that Lin Wan casually mentioned among his teammates.
Maybe there is also Wang Yue who has entangled Lin Wan and even clashed with him in the corridor.
Maybe it's just a joke that Lin Wan once inadvertently said that except for Li Zhongyi, all of them in their class were weak scholars with polite qualities, which stimulated his desire to win.
At this time, Lin Wan climbed on the table in some disgrace because she didn't do well in mathematics, and said casually, "It depends on the situation, you may not come." ”
......
on the playing field.
Cheng Yu looked out of the court from time to time, and every similar figure made him lose his mind, and he came back to his senses to continue the game after confirming that it was not her.
Due to Cheng Yu's frequent distraction, their team fell behind by nearly 20 points after the first half.
Off-site rest area.
Wang Yue walked over and patted Li Zhongyi on the shoulder, his slender peach blossom eyes looked at Cheng Yu, who was drinking water in front of him, and said slightly provocatively: "That's it, you said you played well as a thief?"
Wang Yue is the captain of the school basketball team, and he heard Li Zhongyi say that he has a brother who plays basketball well, and he has always wanted to compete, plus the provocation in the corridor last time, he still hasn't swallowed that breath.
This time just gave him the opportunity to abuse this boy who didn't know the height of the sky in the field he was best at.
As a result, this opponent was unexpectedly weak.
Wang Yue's voice was not loud or small, just enough to be heard by the people around him, and there were whispering voices from time to time around.
"Bang!" Cheng Yu casually threw the mineral water bottle he had drunk a few sips to the fence on the side, and walked towards Wang Yue while unhooking his wrist guard.
The people around him all pricked up their ears and had an expression of "there is a good show to watch".
After all, both of them are people of the year in their respective grades, and they are both beautiful men with outstanding appearances.
One is undisciplined, and the other is cold and arrogant.
Wang Yue watched Cheng Yu walking towards him, raising his eyebrows unto be outdone, and his smiling eyes revealed a bit of contempt.
Cheng Yu walked up to him expressionlessly, stopped, and looked at each other-
The deep black pupils met the evil brown eyes, and the air was full of fire, and there was a strange atmosphere all around.
Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in his dark eyes, and Cheng Yu took a step forward.
Just when everyone thought that a big war was about to break out, he slammed his shoulders hard, and with disdain in his cold eyes, he walked past Wang Yue.
Wang Yue turned around a little angrily and saw Cheng Yu walking towards a person, although he tried his best to hide it, he could still see his eagerness from his sudden accelerated pace.
He blocked the man completely, but from the tail of his hair swaying in the wind, he could tell that the person he was talking to was a girl.
As soon as Wang Yue wanted to step forward, Li Zhongyi on the side pulled him towards the steps of the rest area.
"Why are you here now?" Cheng Yu said.
Lin Wan didn't seem to have recovered from the frustration of mathematics, she didn't make a sound, and handed him a bottle of water.
Cheng Yu took the water, opened it, and raised his head to drink it.
"I'll give you a 'small stove' tonight. Cheng Yu probed her with her afterglow while drinking water, looking at her weak appearance, knowing that she must be sad about the math results she just came out today.
"Really?" Lin Wan's godless eyes suddenly lit up.
Looking up at him, I noticed that he was looking at her with a smile on his face.
The fine hair was slightly attached to the forehead, and the beads of sweat on the cheeks on the neck shone dazzlingly in the sun, like crystal clear pearls.
Cheng Yu was obviously pleased by her expectant expression, and a little smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
He didn't wait long for him to be happy, but he heard Lin Wan's puzzled voice coming, "45 to 26, we are 45, right?"
Cheng Yu almost choked on a mouthful of water, he didn't answer, twisted the lid, threw the water to her, turned around and walked towards the field.
Lin Wan looked at the back of him leaving, and didn't know why he always felt like he was running away.
And Wang Yue, who was joking with Li Zhongyi and his group in front, finally saw the person Cheng Yu had just blocked-
It turned out to be the one who haunted him.
The second half began.
Cheng Yu seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, stopping and jumping, changing direction continuously, passing people, turning around, hooking hands, throwing long, hitting, all in one go.
Wang Yue looked at the "girls" who imitated the powerless chickens in the first half, and in the second half, they were like Jordan possessed.
Seeing the score getting closer and closer, and then thinking of the girl he liked watching from the sidelines, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and he collided with fouls several times in a row.
Lin Wan watched Cheng Yu being hit again and again, the fire that could be felt from such a distance, the smell of medicine couldn't help but lift her heart.
Not far away, Cheng Yu was defending with open arms.
Wang Yue, who was stopped by him, was angry, and slammed into Cheng Yu again.
Cheng Yu took a big step back and shrugged his shoulders at the referee for a foul.
Cheng Yu took the penalty.
With a "bang", the basketball enters the basket.
"Wow, Cheng Dashuai is stunned!" Xiao Qi didn't know when he came to Lin Wan's side.
Lin Wan followed Xiao Qi's gaze and looked at the person running on the field.
He jumped high and nudged the basketball from between his fingers and sent it straight into the hoop.
Cheng Yu turned around in high spirits, and showed a meaningful smile to Lin Wan under the audience, the breeze blew the fine bangs, and the strong fortitude in his eyes was fully displayed.
As if to say, am I still a weak scholar?
Cheng Yu's sudden eyes caused the girls in the audience to scream again and again.
At a glance for ten thousand years, Lin Wan's heart was like a drummer, and she couldn't recover from the moment she just arrived.
With the sophomore in high school catching up, with 30 seconds left before the end, the two sides were only 2 points apart.
At the last moment, Wang Yue made another mistake and was robbed by Li Zhongyi.
Between the lightning and the fire, the ball in his hand flew towards Cheng Yu in the middle of the Portuguese as if he had been hit by a demon.
The latter catches the ball steadily and jumps.
The basketball flew out and drew a beautiful arc in the air.
At the last second, it landed in the basket impartially.
Three-point hit!
The audience applauded thunderously, and in the end, 98 to 97, the sophomore won!
Li Zhongyi rushed towards Cheng Yu, and the two jumped up and crashed into each other, full of tacit understanding, and hugged their teammates who were rushing to celebrate together.
Cheng Yu glanced at the court, patted his teammate's shoulder, signaled him to leave, and then took off his bracers and walked out of the field as he walked.
Walking and walking, the original slow walk gradually turned into a sprint walk, and finally evolved into a trot.
There were whistles and boos all around, and Lin Wan couldn't hear anything.
All she knew was that the way he walked towards her against the light was like a young man in a comic.
The corners of his mouth widened, smiling and rubbing her hair, and the few strands of hair scattered on his face made her face a little itchy, but it couldn't withstand his sentence "Lin Wan, I won!" can tug at her heartstrings and make people itch to the bottom of their hearts.
Living in a tense and busy learning atmosphere is carried out in an orderly manner, with test papers, exams, the sound of reading, and the sound of writing, and the cycle repeats.
That afternoon's scene seems to have become a thing that everyone talks about in this provincial key high school.
But the two protagonists don't seem to shy away from it, and the previous foursome still hasn't changed, and the good guys want to get some clues from it, but in the end they can only return in vain.
After a long time, everyone tacitly agreed that the two might just be good friends.
After a long, long time, I don't know if anyone will remember-
On that sunny afternoon, a tall and handsome boy with the joy of winning ran eagerly to a gentle and quiet girl against the light.
The sun shone on them, spreading a circle of light.
