"Hey!Krystal, do you want us to let you a little~?Your boyfriend only needs to hit ten goals first, even if our side loses~"

The face on the little face looked quite cold, and Zheng Xiujing squinted at Nancy, who was standing not far away with her boyfriend's arm.

In her opinion, the current black girl is like a little peacock with an open screen - even if the black girl is a girl.

The stinking pride on his face almost made it feel like a note with the three big characters of the victor had been slapped on the door of the dark and smooth head.

Is...... Damn.

Grinding her teeth secretly, Zheng Xiujing turned around, raised her hand and tidied up his collar for him, and then whispered to him in a depressed mood: "OPPA, do you really want to compare?"

He was stunned for a moment, not knowing if it was because of the girl's actions, or because she still seemed to want to persuade his mind.

Without a trace, he swept down Zheng Xiujing's white little hand pinching his neckline, and then he pursed his lips imperceptibly and said with a smile: "Is there still room for regret now?"

"Of course, if only I mentioned it to the dead girl...... We're afraid we'll have to be ridiculed for at least ten more minutes. However, it doesn't matter, if you can't stand it, let's just turn around and leave, anyway, I've had enough of her today!"

When the girl said this, her face was straightforward, and there was an indescribable seriousness and cuteness.

"Hey...... Forget it. ”

With a shallow smile on his lips, he raised his head to look at Nancy's side, and said in a casual tone, "How about making sure you don't regret it in the future...... You have to work hard again, don't you? Also, aren't you friends? I hate it so much and still treat each other as friends, there must be a deep emotional foundation, and you don't want the relationship between the two of you to continue to be so awkward, right?"

Zheng Xiujing was stunned when she heard this, bit her lower lip, lowered her head and was silent for a few seconds, then raised her face again, frowned and said to him: "Now, I don't want you to be ridiculed by them more than to be ashamed." Daniel: They're also very good at coaxing, and when the time comes, they might be even more annoying than Nancy. ”

"It's okay, that's how it is between friends. ”

"What~ If it's a good friend, how can there be such an annoyance?"

He blinked at the puzzled girl, then hooked the corners of his mouth, and said in a slightly strange tone: "I'm talking about 'boyfriend and girlfriend'." ”

“…… Ahh

For a moment, looking at Zheng Xiujing's slightly widened eyes and the slightly flustered expression on his little face, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a rare look like a prank succeeded faintly flickered in his dark and bright eyes, and he shook his head and said leisurely: "No matter what, at least the 'boyfriend' thing can't be exposed, right? At a critical time, a good boyfriend is the one who can stand up for his girlfriend, whether it is participating in the competition or facing ridicule." ”

"......" Zheng Xiujing stared at him with wide apricot eyes, and after a while, she muttered with an unnatural expression: "OPPA, you ...... now"

"Huh?"

She hesitated for a moment, but asked seriously, "OPPA, what are you...... Are you instigating my puppy love?"

"Of course not. ”

He put his baseball gloves back on without changing his face, winked at the frowning girl, and said, "I mean, I guess you can't find a good 'boyfriend' like me among your peers, so maybe you can settle down and study, at least better than Nancy, right?"

“……”

"If, OPPA, you're telling this joke to put me at ease, I don't think it's necessary. Zheng Xiujing blinked her eyes and looked at him calmly.

“…… Isn't it funny?"

"Not at all. The girl shook her head at him calmly.

“……”

"Well, ahem, sorry......"

The young man who sincerely admitted his mistake nodded calmly, expressing her acceptance attitude, and she was just about to walk away, when suddenly she seemed to think of something, and added: "However, there is one sentence that I like very much." ”

"Huh?"

"The last sentence. Zheng Xiujing shook his tender fingertips at him, with a solemn face, "I completely agree!"

“……”

"Poof~"

"Hehe......"

"Poof" laughed out loud, invariably pursed the corners of their mouths, each turned their faces slightly, endured the smile in their hearts, and the knowing smile diluted a lot of the jerky atmosphere between each other.

In an instant, an indescribable sense of harmony was finally born, slowly breeding from their relationship.

"Well, Leo, can the two of us talk alone?"

At this moment, a somewhat hesitant voice came from the side, and it took him a second to realize who he was calling, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a familiar strong figure walking towards him.

He was really a little curious about Tiger coming to him at this time when he was about to start the competition.

Of course, he is not afraid that Tiger is here to carry out a cliché coercion by force, the second secondary school has never been a unique problem, at this age hot-blooded impulsiveness and arrogance are the most popular situations in the world, about this, just refer to Zheng Xiujing's children.

At best, he was just an adolescent kid, and even with Tiger's much larger body than his peers, he felt that he had an advantage, both physically and psychologically.

On the contrary, what surprised him a little was that when facing himself, this black boy with a domineering name and a more domineering figure actually seemed a little shy.

And after a more tactful and subtle exchange, he figured out what Tiger's purpose was for coming to him-

It is surprisingly consistent with Zheng Xiujing's previous thoughts.

I want to convince myself to give up the game.

"I hope you don't get Leo wrong. I didn't mean to look down on you. In fact, Nancy is also ...... She just likes to fight people. I don't think there's any point in this game, so it's better for all of us to abstain so that no one loses, how about it?"

He didn't know if there was an element behind Tiger's gesture of coming to him, but looking at the sincere eyes of the black boy when he looked at him, he had to admit that his heart was really shaken.

This wavering is not because I am glad that there is another way to solve the problem, but because I realize that I may be able to have an "ally".

After all, they should have the same goal - to reconcile the two grumpy "little ancestors".

"Actually, I don't play baseball like Krystal said. ”

After thinking for a while, he suddenly said such a sentence, and his tone was very relaxed, without a little reluctance and embarrassment.

Then, in his gaze, the black boy's face showed a look of stunnedness, and only a moment later, Tiger smiled mysteriously at him, nodded and said a reply that might have made Zheng Xiujing startled when she heard it: "I know." ”

When he heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and the two of them looked at each other, and after a while, the two teenagers, who were actually a few years old, understood what was going on, and smiled silently.

Tiger's answer is simple, but the information revealed is not small.

Although he really doesn't know how to play baseball, it's okay to put on a few bluffing poses, especially his arm strength is not bad, so whenever he hits the ball accurately high into the air, even if the result rarely enters the circle, Nancy will often be sarcastic, can be the unconventional play style of the court, whether it is Nancy or Daniel, the three of them, have never suspected anything, and it is possible that in their understanding, they did not expect Zheng Xiujing to be the kind of person who boasted about Haikou.

However, unlike his little girlfriend, although Tiger is not very old, after several years of professional training, he can naturally tell his true and fake.

Now, things are clearer.

Obviously, it doesn't match his rugged appearance, the black boy is still very kind-hearted, and when he realized that Zheng Xiujing, the so-called boyfriend, was completely a layman in baseball, after thinking about it, he came over and put forward such a proposal that would not damage both sides.

In this regard alone, this is a good thing, not to mention, it is still a piece of kindness from others, and it is not good to refuse.

Truth be told, though, it was precisely because of the surprising delicacy of the black boy that his mood became a little subtle.

From the very beginning, Tiger didn't talk much, always like a backdrop, just standing next to Nancy and acting as a model to show off, which is far from the arrogant appearance that outsiders imagine, but as the saying goes, honest people's taunts are more powerful, aren't they?

"I'm sorry, I don't think I can accept your offer, we ...... Let's play these twenty goals honestly. ”

He thought about it, and finally replied.

Twenty goals, the content of the game they finally came up with after deliberation, twenty, not too much, not too little, whoever takes the first twenty laps is the winner who has the last laugh.

Tiger frowned, then asked, "Why?" I think Leo you...... Not like Krystal. ”

Like Krystal? Like her...... What does it look like?

He blinked when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the girl who was standing not far away and was looking at them curiously, and after thinking about it, he smiled for no reason, "Hmm...... The reason is that my girlfriend asked me to ...... To win. ”

“、hat？”

The black boy was visibly stunned, apparently not expecting to hear such an answer from the mouth of him, who had always behaved so mildly.

"It's like, there's one thing. ”

He reached out and patted Tiger's thick shoulder quite closely, and his smile revealed a little deep meaning, and said softly: "You know, listen to your girlfriend well, this is one of the 'virtues' of being a boyfriend." ”

As the words fell, he raised the corners of his mouth again at the dark-skinned face in front of him who was looking at him in a daze, like a bright ray of sunshine, and then left the black boy with a dazed face and walked away.

Of course, Tiger couldn't see it, and after he walked away, he squinted his eyes with a smile on his face, just like he had teased a certain girl before, and there was a faint hint of incomprehension in his eyes.

He doesn't deny it himself, but you show it so bluntly...... Then I'm very upset, right?

There are some things that he would never say in front of Zheng Xiujing, but if he is just facing outsiders, he is facing this layer of boyfriend, and saying something should not be too much, right?

I have to "retaliate" for a while~

It seems that someone who has been slowly assimilated by a certain girl thinks so, and is in a good mood.

……

"Bang!"

No matter how worried Zheng Xiujing was, this informal private duel finally went on as promised.

Zheng Xiujing and Nancy, along with some curious onlookers, looked up, and in everyone's sight, the baseball in the air quickly crossed an arc, and then, following the trajectory of many previous balls, passed by the iron ring in mid-air.

The black man in charge of counting on the sidelines blew his whistle when he saw the situation, and on the scoreboard beside him, a set of numbers with a wide disparity was displayed - "19:8".

"Alas......"

Zheng Xiujing didn't know how many times she sighed, maybe all the times she sighed before was not as much as today, but of course she didn't pay so much attention to winning or losing a competition, and the reason why she performed abnormally today was purely because the situation was special.

It's not that things are special, it's that people are special.

"Don't sigh, your eyebrows are almost together. ”

Rubbing his arms, he looked at Tiger on the other side, who had already raised the baseball bat in his hand and posed, and on the other hand, he turned his head to look at the depressed girl, and smiled quite open-mindedly: "Isn't losing something that I have expected a long time ago?"

"But no matter what, at least you have to control the situation, right?" Zheng Xiujing frowned and said to him seriously: "OPPA, don't you feel bad when you hear Nancy's words about that dead girl?"

"Heh~ I don't know who was the person who called for simply giving up before? So, is there a sense of victory and defeat again?"

The little girl puffed out her mouth and looked at him dissatisfied, her eyes were straight and straight, "OPPA, don't you want to win once, it's just this mentality similar to completing a task? Didn't you say anything before...... What to say ......"

"What did you say?" he blinked at the girl, the slightly raised expression on his face that looked a little evil.

Zheng Xiujing's face became a little unnatural again, she flapped her long eyelashes several times, and still whispered: "Before...... Didn't OPPA still say that they should work hard for me?"

"That's right. ”

He blinked, nodded, and smiled, "Although the result is regrettable, I did my best, haven't I?"

Zheng Xiujing was choked by his words, and the two bright red lips on her fair and green face opened slightly, not knowing how to answer this kind of extraordinarily reasonable answer.

"Bang!"

"Oooo

“Oh! My Los Angeles Boy!haha~"

"Well, Nancy, you still won. ”

At this moment, there was an unexpected cheer not far away, and the two of them turned their heads to look, except for Nancy, who was hugging her boyfriend tightly with excitement, and Daniel, who was standing next to her with a helpless smile on his face, they saw that the black man in charge of scoring had flipped the "19" on the side of the scoreboard to "20".

The competition is over.

"Hey......

"Yikes. ”

Turning around and glaring at the girl who gritted his teeth angrily, he said with a smile: "Don't swear." If you lose, you lose...... Okay, now, let's go over and get ready for the black sister's saliva, and then go home. ”

"Black sisters?"

Unable to hold his face strained by his slightly funny words, Zheng Xiujing's lips couldn't help but have a hint of amused smile, glanced at him, and immediately looked at Nancy, who was still holding her boyfriend's hand in the distance and casting a provocative gaze from afar, and couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Okay...... Well, let's go take the damn girl's saliva, and get out of here!"

was also amused by the girl's sad expression, he curled the corners of his mouth, didn't say anything, just silently led the way in front, looked at the group of young men and girls in front of him who were celebrating, took a deep breath, and walked over.

Behind him, a figure followed.

However, as I said before, the wonderful thing about life is that you never know what will happen in the next moment, and sometimes, fate is the hand that passively pushes you behind your back.

"Hey, what did you just say?!"

Just as he was preparing in his heart how to accept the ridicule of a little black girl who was in the midst of a rebellious period, a familiar crisp voice suddenly sounded behind him with a strong anger.

At this moment, almost all the eyes around him were attracted.

Even Tiger and Nancy, who were laughing and talking, couldn't help but turn their heads in surprise.

He looked back inexplicably, and saw the petite figure he was familiar with, but at this moment, he was standing in front of two tall black strong men, and the bad atmosphere could be seen by anyone at a glance.

Suddenly, while frowning and squinting, his face couldn't help but tense secretly, and he pursed his lips.

Zheng Xiujing's appearance he had seen before, she was angry like a fried kitten, but it was different from before, this time, he saw a real anger on her little face with wide eyes.

It's like a little kitten has changed into a downright little lioness, with teeth and claws and imposing, and it makes people ...... For no reason, I felt a sigh in my heart.

What happened?

Being so watched by the audience, Rao was the big man of these two black men, and the expression on his face also looked a little unnatural.

After a moment, the thinner of the two frowned, and said in a deep voice to the petite figure in front of him, "What are you doing?"

"I wanted to ask you two what you two want to do!"

Zheng Xiujing crossed her hands on her hips, like a little pepper, and her round and transparent eyes stared back at the two pairs of bull's-eyed eyes in front of her without showing weakness.

"Little ghost, if you want to mischievous, go home and find your parents to mischievous!"

Zheng Xiujing furrowed her brows tightly when she heard this, and glared at the two of them angrily.

His brow furrowed as well, but he looked at the thin black man who spoke impatiently, and then he walked over, grabbed the girl's wrist with one hand without a trace, and pulled her naturally behind him.

"OPPA, they ......"

"Leave them alone. ”

Ignoring the two big black men staring at him, he turned his head first and asked her in a low voice, "You tell me first, are you okay?"

"Hmm, I'm fine......" She was stunned by the question he had asked at the beginning, and she suddenly seemed to retract a pair of small claws with sharp claws, blinking her eyes and looking at him with a slightly cute expression.

"That's good. ”

He nodded naturally, and the moment he lowered his head, an unnoticed look of relief flashed on his handsome face, and then he immediately asked, "What happened?"

didn't ask whether the matter was right or wrong, he directly decided that it was the other party's problem.

"Ah, that's ......" didn't hear any questions, Zheng Xiujing was reminded by him like this, and a little cold anger rekindled on her face, and she continued to stare at the two black men angrily, and then the girl pursed her lips and hesitated at him: "When you passed by them just now, I heard them call you 'Gook'......"

Gook？

He was stunned for a moment, and his reaction was not anger, but looked at the girl with a rather strange look.

Gook is a smirk-like term used in the United States for foreigners such as Japanese and Koreans, and its meaning is almost the same as calling "Negro" in front of black people.

"Hey...... I'm not bullying the imps, but, seriously, am I wrong?"

was told by the girl in public that the two of them had just communicated in private just now, and the faces of the two black men were a little unbearable, but under the gaze of the big guy, in order to maintain his face, the thin black man simply frowned, and said loudly in an unkind tone: "The ball is like that, it's embarrassing to occupy the field to play, hey, the little ghost will go back to school and have a good class, okay?"

Suddenly, there was a chorus of laughter all around.

"You guys!"

Zheng Xiujing's cheeks flushed slightly, clenched her fists, and stared coldly at the two black men in front of her who were a few heads taller than herself.

This is real anger, not ordinary momentary anger.

"What's the matter? Still not convinced? For the sake of the young age of you two little ghosts, I don't bother to bother with you, so get out of here while the adults are not angry!"

"Hey...... You two dogs!"

Quite surprisingly shouted such a sentence, it seemed that she was really angry, her small breasts that had not yet developed rose and fell greatly, and even the unskilled Korean in her mouth soared out, fortunately, the two black people did not understand Korean, otherwise things might not be good.

Standing in front, he silently listened to the angry voice that sounded from behind him, arguing with him and the two black people for each word, and his eyes were always quietly staring at the two black men in front of him, his eyes were deep.

In fact, in the past few months since he came to the United States, he has suffered discrimination, both openly and secretly, and he has long been less concerned.

But today, he felt a little concerned again.

Not to care about the insults in the mouths of these two black men who were not even passers-by to him, but because of ...... Concerned about the way the girl behaved when he defended him.

"Hey, if you're really not convinced, just win the battle and show us, I hope you won't lose again to find your mother!"

"You ......"

"So, do you want to give it a try?"

Caught off guard, he spoke, causing both sides to be stunned by the smell of gunpowder, and Qi Qi set their eyes on him.

"If I do it again and I win, can you take responsibility for what you just said?"

Staring at such a pair of calm and deep black eyes, the big black man frowned, and then, glancing around, said disdainfully, "Of course!"

He nodded and didn't say anything more, just silently turned around and walked away.

"Eh, OPPA!"

Seeing the situation, she was slightly stunned, bit her lip and hesitated, but quickly followed, just like the little tail that followed him before.

"Tiger, Nancy, how about discussing something?"

Walking up to the two Tigers, who were still unclear, he came straight to the point with a surprising sentence: "Competition...... How about one more time?"

Uh-huh?

For a moment, many people around were stunned.

Including the girl who followed him.

However, what was even more unexpected was that after hearing his proposal, without waiting for his girlfriend's reaction, Tiger raised his eyebrows and winked at the two black men who were still standing not far behind them.

A few seconds later, the black boy bared a mouthful of snow-white teeth at him and said:

"Okay!"
