Chapter 966: Rewind (12)

He rarely does things that don't make sense.

For example, try to let the girl let go of the depression in her heart, and for example, learn to coax her and tell her that everything is so fragile in the face of time, and one day, she will forget the little shame of today.

He didn't try to do these things and say these things, because in his opinion, this kind of self-deception, not to mention Zheng Xiujing, even he himself was not happy to believe it.

But sometimes, there are special contradictions in his personality.

His extraordinary rationality has indeed been reminding him not to waste time on useless things, but there are always one or two accidents in one's life.

For him, there are always one or two exceptions to the "meaningless things" that he will never do.

For example, he agreed to take an afternoon out and accompany Zheng Xiujing to solve the boring conflict between a little girl, or for example, he finally stood up and continued to be by the girl's side, and greeted with her the ridicule that was likely to follow.

He has never denied that hard work is the best catalyst for success, but faith does not mean blindness.

If a person persists in something for several years and ends up working as hard as someone else, then either there is something wrong with that person or it is a fairy tale.

He didn't think he, a man who had never played baseball before, would be able to hold a baseball bat and beat Tiger, who was a member of the varsity team.

If that's the case, then the world is crazy, and ...... This black boy is also a little too pathetic.

The reason why he knew that the two of them might not have a chance to win and still had to try one last time was not because of the idea of wanting to struggle, his reason was very simple, just, it was because of Zheng Xiujing.

He could see that if he didn't really play a game today, even if he admits defeat, the girl will not be willing in her heart, even if she doesn't say it verbally, her heart will not be silent with her silence.

Of course, another undeniable factor is that he is more or less sorry for the situation he caused today, if there is no variable of himself, maybe Zheng Xiujing can settle his old suspicions with his black friends at the dinner table before.

His appearance satisfies the conditions for the continuation of this contradiction.

It's something he's only now realizing.

It's not regretful, but there is no escaping the remedy.

"Bang!"

The familiar crunch of a wooden stick hitting the ball.

The rapid shadow flew high into the air, and was so small in the incandescent light that the people watching couldn't help but squint until ...... It arced, fell without any obstacles, and rolled on the ground of the court, bounced twice along the way, making two regrettable crunchs.

"Hey......"

"OMG! Haha, look! another offball?"

"Okay Nancy, don't talk about it......"

……

At the same time, Zheng Xiujing's slight sigh beside him and the faint voice of the black girl and her companions in the distance sounded in his ears, and he looked at the baseball that was still flying over the iron ring after being hit by himself, and then shook his head with a little regret, and his reaction was extremely indifferent.

He admits that he had underestimated the baseball style at this stadium before.

The hoop was said to be very large, but it was only relatively speaking, and after placing it at a distance of tens of meters, it was still hanging in the air at that fixed height, which in his opinion was no different from the super extended version of the full-court shooting.

The difference is that the ball is smaller, the box is bigger, and it is no longer his hands that determine where the ball lands, but a wooden stick.

He wasn't good at basketball, or to be precise, he wasn't interested in playing the sport that normal his peers would play, so he wasn't even better at this alternative style of baseball.

"OPPA, it's better to ...... Shall we give up?"

Zheng Xiujing's voice sounded low on the side, this was not the first time the girl wanted to say this, in fact, he could see that she wanted to make this suggestion to herself since he started to hit all kinds of "wrong balls" in that jerky posture, and attracted the merciless ridicule of Nancy and them.

The match hadn't officially started yet, and about ten minutes ago, although he had responded to Nancy's provocation, he had also taken the opportunity to ask for ten minutes of practice alone.

The reason for using it is also very legitimate, because I am not familiar with this kind of venue and style of play.

Zheng Xiujing felt the most puzzled about this.

Both his instructions and his actual behind-the-scenes play proved to her that he hadn't had much exposure to the sport of baseball before today, so was it still necessary to ask for a solitary practice, especially since he still endured ridicule from the other side all the time.

If it were me, I would definitely go crazy when I encountered this situation. Zheng Xiujing thought so firmly in her heart.

In the end, the end result is a loss anyway, is it necessary to expose yourself to ten more minutes of ridicule?

Start the game directly, and even if you lose, it can end quickly. Or just admit defeat and don't compare, which will seem much simpler?

She couldn't accept Nancy's ridicule, let alone the mocking eyes of those around her for her sake.

Either way, in Zheng Xiujing's opinion, it is better than the move that he is stupidly trying to feel here now.

Don't...... Does OPPA think things can turn around?

"Bang!"

With a wave of his bat and seeing the ball pass by the hoop in the air, he gestured to the pitcher arranged on the court, then put down the baseball bat in his hand, turned his head to look at the girl beside him with her head bowed and her frown, and after a moment, he chuckled out loud for no reason.

"OPPA~!

"Hehe, no, if you don't laugh, is it difficult to cry?"

Facing Zheng Xiujing's incomprehensible eyes, he smiled, shook his head, and turned his face back, "It's just a small bet between friends, you don't have to do anything if you lose, what are you afraid of?"

The bridge of the white nose wrinkled, Zheng Xiujing looked at his handsome side face that was already sweating slightly, and muttered: "Since it is a 'small bet', why do you still have to act so seriously in OPPA? Obviously, you said it yourself, and there is nothing ...... if you lose."

"Bang!"

"The not-so-serious consequences just give us one less level of concern, and it doesn't conflict with the process. ”

Hit a ball out accurately, he didn't know whether he was denying the girl's words or dissatisfied with the ball, shook his head, glanced at Zheng Xiujing, and smiled: "I'm serious because of you." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Me?" Zheng Xiujing blinked, and her soft lips pursed imperceptibly.

"yes, it's not for you, why do you think I'm fighting so hard?"

Rubbing his arm with a wry smile, he raised his chin to the pitcher in front of him, and his body took a pose, grabbing the stick with both hands, lifting the baseball bat, and saying, "For someone like me who hasn't exercised for months, this level of activity is really unbearable all of a sudden...... Even if I want to lose, I have to work behalf of Xiujing, don't I?"

"Bang!!"

In an instant, in the girl's slightly reddened cheeks and her subconscious gaze looking up, this time the ball flying high in the air drew a graceful arc and flew towards the iron ring in the air, but I don't know if it was bad luck, the black shadow still hit the frame of the iron ring, and with a "bang", it bounced away.

"Hey, it's a pity......"

This time, Zheng Xiujing's sigh was mixed with a lot of regrets around her.

His attempts again and again were also seen by others, even with the mentality of watching the excitement and jokes, but as time went on, when they found that he was really serious about practicing in these ten minutes, a considerable number of people felt a trace of admiration for his tenacity and calm mentality.

There is not so much malice in this world, what kind of eyes do you use to look at the world, and what kind of eyes does the world look at you.

Looking at the baseball that fell to the ground in the distance with a pity on her face, Zheng Xiujing bit her lip, looked back at him who was also shaking her head, and then lowered her head again and whispered: "So, the time is coming soon...... OPPA: Are you really going to play against Tiger? It's a bit of an offbeat way of playing here, but I remember Tiger scoring at least seven or eight percent of his goals. ”

"Of course, it's all come to this point, is it hard to say give up?"

"Bang!"

"But...... Nancy she really annoys!"

"Bang!"

"I think it's okay, I can be friends with you, but how bad can my personality be?"

"Yes, yes......"

"Bang!"

"It's a little strange to me, isn't she a little overexcited when she sees me make a mistake?"

Panting slightly, he put down the baseball bat in his hand, turned his head to look at Zheng Xiujing, and asked with a look of confusion: "It's okay to be once or twice, I really admire her for being so excited for ten minutes." ”

"About this...... I know why. ”

"Do you know why?"

"Hmmm......"

Pursing her lips, Zheng Xiujing looked at him with some embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "That's it...... Didn't I tell her that I had a boyfriend when I first started arguing with her......? So, when I got angry, I said that my boyfriend was also from Los Angeles...... And、And ......"

"And what?" Vaguely, he seemed to understand something, and looked at Zheng Xiujing who wanted to speak strangely.

"And...... I told her that my boyfriend could play baseball, too!

Closing her eyes in resignation, Zheng Xiujing hung her head and whispered weakly to him: "I'm sorry, OPPA......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

He opened his mouth and looked at the delicate figure beside him with a kind of hatred and helpless smile, he thought about it, and he still smiled bitterly in a slightly melancholy mood.

What can I do?

The Haikou boasted by the "girlfriend" naturally has to be filled by the boyfriend.

This plot will end tomorrow, and it will drag on for a while, but the main purpose is still the communication between someone and Xiujing.
