This year's winter was not very cold, and there was not even snow, but in the blink of an eye, it was time for the beginning of school, and spring was just around the corner, and it was snowing in Licheng.

The snow in the south is crystal clear, like damp white sugar, fluttering in the air, falling to the ground and being run over by a car, it turns into snow water, the cold wind blows, the ground is covered with a thin layer of ice, and the pedestrians on the road ride bicycles and walk carefully.

However, there was a layer of white snow on the trees on both sides of the road, and some mischievous children, seeing that the snow was like a happy puppy, ran to the green bushes and crumpled the snow into a snow ball, and smashed it at the trunks of trees, lampposts, or unopened roller shutters.

Today is the first day of school at the end of the winter vacation, and the primary and secondary schools in Licheng are opening today.

Lin Sifan was riding a bicycle, wearing a scarf, and riding slowly on the way to school, when suddenly a snowball smashed over and smashed on Lin Sifan's pink blue coat.

Lin Sifan was startled, hurriedly braked and stopped, and saw a little boy standing not far away, still holding a snowball in his hand, smiling at her.

Lin Sifan was angry, but he was embarrassed to get out of the car and worry about it like a child, glared at the little boy fiercely, and prepared to ride away.

Seeing this, the little boy pinched the snowball in his hand, and threw it at Lin Sifan, Lin Sifan hurriedly lowered his head, and the general dodged the snowball, but the scarf fell and almost fell into the snow.

"What are you doing!"

Lin Sifan said angrily, but she was not Jia Yumeng, instead of Jia Yumeng, she lifted the bicycle and threw it over, Lin Sifan was just angry, thinking about riding a bicycle and leaving quickly.

"Smack!"

It was the sound of a snowball hitting someone again, but this time it was not Lin Sifan who was smashed, but the little boy, his head was hit, and he screamed in pain.

"Smack!"

Again, this time the snowball hit the little boy's buttocks, and the little boy looked back, then ran away with his head covered.

Lin Sifan saw that it was Bai Ye, and he was still holding a snowball in his hand, if the little boy didn't run again, it was estimated that he would have to take a beating.

"Thanks, you're riding to school too?"

Lin Sifan found out that Bai Ye also rode a bicycle to school, and he had heard that he took a taxi to school before.

Bai Ye pushed the bicycle forward and said, "Let's go, I'm going to be late." ”

Lin Sifan nodded, and the two rode towards the school together.

Along the way, Lin Sifan always wanted to turn his head and shout "Lu Yuan", but when the words came to his mouth, he remembered that it was Bai Ye.

This semester, Lu Yuan is gone.

A little more than a week ago, the Lizhong basketball team lost to Hefei Bayi Middle School in the semifinals of the East China Competition, and their unbeaten record was broken, but they still managed to make it to the national tournament in the summer.

Lin Sifan couldn't go to Shanghai during the entire winter vacation because she had to practice, and she originally wanted to watch the competition between Lin Xin and Lu Yuan.

As a result, in the final of the East China competition, Lin Xin led the Affiliated OT of Southern Sports University lost to Hefei Bayi Middle School in overtime, and lost the opportunity to win three consecutive championships in East China.

After the East China competition, Lin Sifan received another message, which was sent by Lu Yuan, saying that he was going to the United States.

America, what a distant place.

Lin Sifan didn't even have time to say goodbye to Lu Yuan in person, according to him, he should have arrived in Los Angeles today.

It's so fast, so fast that Lin Sifan didn't react, she originally thought that she would go to school with Lu Yuan today.

"I don't know, if he can get used to it in the United States, when he will come back."

Lin Sifan thought so, since the winter vacation, he hadn't seen Lu Yuan again, although he occasionally chatted on WeChat, but he didn't know how he was doing now.

The two rode all the way to the school gate, and after getting off the bus, Lin Sifan and Bai Ye said: "That, An Yi said, I want to invite us to eat hot pot together in the evening, I went to Beijing last time, fortunately I have your ticket, are you free?" ”

Today is the first day of school, so I don't have to study at night, but I have time to get together. Lin Sifan was quite excited, thinking that Lu Yuan could go together, but now there are only white leaves left.

Bai Ye didn't like to eat things like hot pot, and thought that if Lu Yuan was there, he would definitely agree directly.

However, Bai Ye still nodded, saying that he could go over the evening, and said that he wanted to bring a friend with him.

"Is it Lu Yuan?"

Lin Sifan blurted out, and then remembered that Lu Yuan was no longer in China.

"It's a good friend of me and Lu Yuan, and it shouldn't be wasted if I bring him over. In the morning, Lu Yuan said that he had arrived in Los Angeles. ”

Bai Ye provided a little bit of Lu Yuan's news, and Lin Sifan hurriedly asked, "Then he... When will you be back? ”

Bai Ye said: "Summer vacation, stay there for a semester, and come back to play the national competition in the summer vacation." ”

"I only came back during the summer vacation...... It's still snowing. ”

Lin Sifan looked at the snow that was still drifting in the sky, the summer vacation was really far away.

When he went upstairs, Lin Sifan asked again: "Bai Ye, why don't you go to the United States?" ”

Bai Ye looked at Lin Sifan and said, "I still have a lot to learn here, and Lu Yuan should go to the United States." ”

Bai Ye no longer lives in Licheng Hotel, Bai Duo directly bought him a suite in Licheng, hardcover second-hand house, and moved in with his bag, and he will have his own home in the future.

From now on, Bai Ye has to start taking care of his own life, without his aunt to fold his clothes and wash the quilt, he can no longer take a taxi to school every day, and he has to ride a bicycle instead.

Bai Ye still remembers what Bai Duo said to her a week ago, "What you lack is not skill, but more will, you have to understand what you are playing for." I have heard Gao Jing talk about your games and experiences, I want you to stay, it is right to let Lu Yuan go abroad, the two of you should separate and find what each other lacks. ”

"What is lacking from each other."

Bai Ye didn't quite understand this sentence, but he had a feeling that since he was a teammate with Lu Yuan, the feeling of playing was indeed different. But what the difference is, he can't tell.

Now that Lu Yuan is gone, maybe he can figure it out.

……………………

The two broke up on the top floor and went to their own classrooms, as soon as Bai Ye entered the classroom, there was a commotion in the classroom, everyone congratulated the basketball team on getting the ticket to the national competition, and some people asked curiously, "Where did Lu Yuan go." ”

Bai Ye didn't answer, just looked at Lu Yuan's empty position, and didn't feel a little lost, I don't know if this kid can adapt in the United States.

This time, Lu Yuan went to the United States in a very hurry, and after the East China competition, he immediately applied for a visa and left the day before the start of school.

All the procedures and applications were very smooth, on the one hand, with the help of Bai Duo, she has a high reputation and connections in the Los Angeles basketball circle; On the other hand, of course, there is Lu Zihao as the driving force, I am afraid that Lu Yuan still does not know that he can go to the United States because of his father.

"He's so cheap, it shouldn't be a problem to stay in the United States, right?"

Of course, there is another question, Bai Ye didn't think too much about it, why Lu Yuan's mother would agree to Lu Yuan to go to the United States so easily, she didn't even agree to Lu Yuan playing basketball before.

Bai Ye felt that maybe it was Lu Yuan's persuasion, but when he thought of Lu Gradual, Bai Ye's heart was on fire again, he really didn't expect that he would be Lu Yuan's brother.

At this time, the head teacher Mao Jiaping entered the classroom, and the originally noisy classroom quieted down.

Mao Jiaping looked at a student who had gained a lot of weight during the winter vacation, pushed his glasses, and said, "Turn in all your homework!" I'm going to mark your exam papers one by one! ”

The whole class was in a wail instantly, many people thought that the homework sent during the winter vacation, the teacher would not read or approve it, how did they know that the homeroom teacher would collect the homework as soon as he came.

Mao Jiaping continued: "Tomorrow, the school will conduct a test, mainly to test mathematics, English and spoken English, mainly for this semester, to the United States high school exchange study, for a month. Interested students can sign up, there is only one place at present, everyone feels that they are qualified in all aspects, and they have the ability, so they come to me directly. ”

As soon as Mao Jiaping's words were finished, there was another commotion in the classroom, and someone asked, "Teacher Mao, why didn't Lu Yuan come!" ”

Mao Jiaping said: "Lu Yuan has already gone to the United States first, if you want him, you can sign up, it is the same school, Los Angeles, Willison High School." ”

Now, the students are even more energetic, Lu Yuan actually went to the United States? And what about this month's exchange? v Of course, this is thanks to the "Iron Lock Hook" Principal Zhu Yida Zhu, since he caught up with Bai Duo, he naturally asked Bai Duo to do something, and the result was that he successfully hooked up with Willison High School with the help of Bai Duoduo's relationship.

In China, many good high schools have friendship schools abroad, especially in the United States, to exchange and exchange with each other; Like the Chinese schools in Licheng, there are friendship schools in Japan and the United States.

But Licheng Middle School, which is the boss of Licheng High School, does not, which makes Zhu Yida brag a lot less.

This time, with Bai Duo's help, Zhu Yida successfully hooked up with Willison High School and decided to start the exchange plan this semester.

However, because the relationship has just been established, mostly relying on Bai Duo's face, Zhu Yida knows that if he wants to continue to develop for a long time, the candidates for this first exchange are very important, not just looking at money, he must send an excellent student over to show those Americans the level of Chinese high school students.

Moreover, Lu Yuan's kid is still there, Zhu Yida is very worried about what trouble he will cause, and it is good to get another one.

Therefore, he organized and arranged this exam, preparing to combine the previous performances and get a representative out!

In another classroom, Class 22, Lin Sifan also heard the head teacher talk about this exam, his eyes lit up, thinking that he could go to the United States and see Lu Yuan, so he couldn't wait to sign up immediately.

At this time, Zhou Junlu, who was sitting in front of her, raised her hand, indicating that she was going to take this exam, and Lin Sifan's heart dimmed again.

If you perform better than the exam, you won't be able to compete with her anyway.
