Chapter 40: The Melancholy of a Literary Girl
"Ahh Hello..."Lin Mu had never heard such a soft and glutinous voice, just listening to this voice, Lin Mu's face turned red rarely.
Perhaps because of the girl's melancholy temperament and the weak temperament in a wheelchair, Lin Mu's heart ignited a desire to protect for the first time.
However, he quickly suppressed this strange emotion.
"Your legs..."In order to hide his heartbeat, Lin Mu changed the topic. It's just that when these three words just came out, he began to regret it and began to complain that he really didn't mention which pot...
"Ahh My leg? Hearing Lin Mu's question, the girl was silent.
"I'm just asking... I'm sorry..."This silent atmosphere made Lin Mu want to retreat.
However, the girl said with a nonchalant face:
"There's no need to apologize, it's just that I broke my spine in a basketball game in junior high school."
Although she didn't care about it on her face, her voice betrayed her true heart, and her voice trembled.
"Let's talk about something else. It's rare for my brother to bring a friend home. The girl pushed the wheelchair and looked at Lin Mu carefully.
"You must be very good at sports. Just look at your calf muscles and you can tell that you should be a sprinter at school, right? The girl said tentatively.
"Sprint?"
"Well, the average 100-meter sprinter, the best height is between 170-180, you should have 175." The girl guessed slyly.
"Ahh I'm not a sprinter... I'm a basketball player at school..."Lin Mu touched his head and said embarrassedly.
Actually, he really wanted to follow the girl's guess and lie to make her happy, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't want to lie to him.
Sometimes, men are more conflicted than women, especially boys of this age.
"Basketball team?!" Lin Mu's answer made the girl cover her mouth and look at Lin Mu in surprise.
"What's the matter, don't you think I'm not tall enough to play basketball?"
"It's not... It's just that when you mention the basketball team, it reminds me of a convention. ”
"Agreed?"
"Hmm... One has a convention about basketball. The girl became melancholy again with these words, and the book on her lap, with this melancholy, was deeply imprinted in Lin Mu's mind like a painting.
Before Lin Mu could ask the girl about basketball to the bottom of the matter, Lin Mu suddenly felt a chill behind him.
This bad premonition made him quickly turn his head, and he saw a face full of anger, and the owner of that face was Gu Jing.
His face seemed to say, I treat you as a brother, and you dare to tease my sister's expression.
This kind of brotherly anger is not something that Lin Mu can bear at his age.
He swallowed and said hello. At the suggestion of Gu Jing's "kindness", who was on the verge of suppressing anger, he said goodbye to the girl and went back to the living room first.
"Brother, why?" Looking at Lin Mu's fleeing back, the girl swept away her melancholy and looked at Gu Jing indifferently.
"Because, your dream is to get into the CSBA (National Girls' High School League), and since you don't have the ability to get into it now, then let me make your dream come true." Gu Jing looked at the girl's indifferent appearance and said distressedly.
However, his words did not move the girl in the slightest.
"You know, I hate basketball the most right now. If it weren't for basketball, I wouldn't be in a wheelchair. ”
"Really? Then tell me, why do you always go to the back basketball court alone in the dead of night every day? Gu Jing said emotionally.
"That's... So what? Hearing that Gu Jing had exposed herself, the girl was obviously a little flustered, but after panicking again, she said stubbornly:
"Even if I go to the basketball court every day in a daze. It's my dream to get into CSBA, and I shouldn't let you help me achieve it! Besides, your school is a school with no special skills. A group of basketball enthusiasts want to make it to the national competition, but it's just a joke! ”
"Even if our school is a school with no special talents, even if our team members are just a group of basketball enthusiasts, even if you think we are just talking nonsense! I won't give up. Not just because your previous dream is my dream now, but because I believe in four words, and those four words are! Hard work pays off. As long as we work harder than anyone else, we will definitely have a chance in the national competition. The girl's willful words reminded Gu Jing of the teacher's white eyes, the ridicule of the alumni, and the desperate situation of the basketball team. These pressures made him not say nice things to please his sister as before.
Instead, he left a solid back for his most beloved sister.
"If, I'm going to make it to the national competition. You're going to have to cooperate with the treatment. Do you dare to make a new pact with me? Gu Jing asked with his back to him.
It's just that the girl didn't respond to this agreement. It's like when she lost the ability to walk and became self-defeating and refused to go to school.
Gu Jing, who had not waited for the girl to make an agreement with him for a long time, sighed and was about to return to the living room.
The girl suddenly shouted:
"Then agree. I don't believe you're going to make it to the national competition. ”
"Since it is agreed, it must be done." Gu Jing finally waited for the answer he wanted. He smiled, and then he walked firmly to the living room, leaving the girl alone.
The open window in the hallway gently blew a gust of wind that stirred the bird set on her lap, and just as the wind rested on a passage.
"When you cry about missing the sun, you have to miss the stars again."
Lin Mu, who was frightened, returned to the living room, silently waiting for Gu Jing, who had a black face just now, to come back, and after a while, Gu Jing came back with a smile, he looked at Lin Mu and gave him a thumbs up.
This made Lin Mu even more frightened. He cautiously followed everyone to the restaurant, eating what seemed like a delicious and expensive meal.
At the dinner table, he didn't see the melancholy girl appear, but now he didn't have the courage to ask Gu Jing.
After Lin Mu finished eating anxiously, Gu Jing took everyone into a large study, and asked everyone to call home again, ready to conduct surprise training before the exam.
At this time, Lin Mu knew that the basketball team had now reached the most critical moment, and he had felt guilty in his heart, so he took the initiative to stand up and ensure that he would definitely be able to enter the top ten in the class.
Seeing Lin Mu's appearance of being weak in front of him with a package ticket, Gu Jing showed a meaningful smile, but even if Lin Mu took the initiative to share a place, there was still a place that was very important.
Gu Jing looked around at the other six freshmen in the first year of high school, trying to pick out the next candidate who could make a difference and take responsibility, but the appearance of those six people and the attitude of indifference made him feel that these people were not worth counting on...
