Chapter 20: Are You a Youkai, You Are

Xia Qingyu lives next door to a couple in their seventies, listening to Xia Qingyu said that the grandfather's name is Xia Qihong, is a meritorious veteran, he participated in many battles when he was young, and later lost a hand in a battle, and after changing jobs, he also had some achievements in going to the sea to do business. The old lady's name is Yao Jingyi, when she was young, she was also a young lady from a large family, a pair of old people had no children and no daughters, but the life was optimistic, after retirement, she traveled all over the country, and one year she came to Funan and fell in love with the city at first sight, so she bought this house to retire here.

Xia Qingyu was still in school when she first moved here, and when she was interning in the second half of her junior year, the old couple saw that this beautiful little girl liked it more and more, and they both felt a little like being granddaughters. I often make some new and quirky delicacies and send them to Xia Qingyu to try, and Xia Qingyu also likes this trendy elderly couple, sometimes they are too lazy to cook and go over to have a meal.

When they saw Ye Shenxi for the first time, they were shocked, thinking that Xia Qingyu had finally found a boyfriend, and the two old men sat on the sofa in the living room of Xia Qingyu's house and asked as if they were looking at their grandson-in-law, what are you doing, when are you going to get married, or something...... It made Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu a little embarrassed.

The old lady just learned to make pizza a few days ago, and after practicing for a few days, she felt quite experienced, and she just baked a plate today, and she felt that she was the master of the collection, and she finally came back from work when she saw Xia Qingyu and Ye Shenxi talking and laughing, and blocked these two at the door of her house.

Grandma Yao was a little unhappy: "You work overtime all day and night, and you also work overtime on Sundays, why are you so busy, can you finish your work?" ”

Xia Qingyu stepped forward to hold the old lady's hand and said with relief: "Grandma, isn't this company just opened, there are a lot of chores, so I will be a little busy for a while, and I won't be so busy after a while." ”

Grandma Yao said disapprenously: "That's not such a busy method, the old man used to run his own company, and I haven't seen him so busy." If you are so busy, your body can bear it, look at you, you are young and not as good as my wife. ”

Xia Qingyu defended: "You know my body, I go for a morning jog every morning. He pointed to the shopping bag in Ye Shenxi's hand: "You see this is the sportswear and sneakers he just bought, and he is also going to start exercising." ”

Ye Shenxi also added: "Yes, we have to play basketball later." ”

Seeing that the old lady was still chattering a little, Ye Shenxi changed the topic and said, "Grandma, this is the pizza you made yourself?" ”

Speaking of this, Grandma Yao suddenly turned cloudy and sunny, and said proudly: "Come, try my craft, I just learned it, but the taste is not bad, my old man will pass it." ”

Opened the door and entered the living room, Xia Qingyu helped the old lady sit down, Ye Shenxi opened the cardboard box, and secretly laughed in his heart that the old lady had just learned to play fancy, and it was actually lobster pizza.

I saw a large lobster lying straight on the pizza, and the bottom was covered with a lot of seafood, and the whole pizza was almost unbearable.

Xia Qingyu is also good, this old lady likes some new and strange things, and she is really getting younger and younger.

The two praised each other again and again, saying that this pizza is bold and bold and thick, and it doesn't look like a newcomer's study, and it is quite famous.

Just kidding, Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu are both masters who can't slip their mouths, so they naturally coax the old lady to be very happy, and the old lady is very relieved.

Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't play her cards according to common sense, and suddenly took out two movie tickets and said: "The things sent by the old man's juniors, our old arms and legs, where can we go to the cinema to squeeze it, it's a waste to keep it, the movie the day after tomorrow, don't work overtime then, use this thing." ”

The two took the movie ticket and looked at it, stupid, "Mauritian Love Story" ......

This old lady is also a liar, her face is not red and her heart is not beating, where is this sent by the junior, obviously she ordered it herself...... She was bent on matching Xia Qingyu and Ye Shenxi, and the old man also laughed at her and said that what are you fooling with about other people's young people, she felt that such a pleasing pair of young men and women were busy working overtime all day long, and she was anxious.

The old man said again, how do you know that they are not together, maybe you just don't know. The old lady disagreed, saying that it was not right.

The old lady secretly gave Ye Shenxi a look of "Grandma, I can only help you get here", and then said goodbye and went back happily.

Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu held the movie tickets and smiled at each other.

"Let's eat first." Ye Shenxi walked straight to the kitchen and cut the pizza with a knife.

Xia Qingyu said: "Play ball first, it's not good for your body to eat enough sports." ”

Ye Shenxi thought about it, so the two went back to their rooms to change their clothes.

When Xia Qingyu went downstairs, she had already changed into a set of women's sportswear, not a professional basketball uniform, a sleeveless T-shirt and sports pants, very street style. The hair is simply tied up into a ponytail, fading the image of an urban white-collar beauty, but more like a girl next door at this age.

The two came to the court, there was no one, Xia Qingyu asked the dumplings to sit on the long wooden bench on the sidelines, this little guy was very well-behaved, and he didn't run around, and honestly became a spectator.

After finding a basket, Xia Qingyu began to warm up and dribble, with his left hand, his right hand, and then connected a crotch dribble, Ye Shenxi was amazed: "This has also been practiced?" ”

Xia Qingyu got up and jumped, the distance of one step within the three-point line was not the common women's posture of pushing the ball from the chest to the front, but jumped first, waited for the body to smooth the upper body, and then raised the hand over the forehead, the right hand exerted force and the left hand assisted, and pushed forward to throw the ball, chic and elegant, very beautiful, standard jump shot!

The basketball crossed an arc in the air, and the sound of the basketball rubbing against the inside of the basket smashed vertically on the floor, hollow into the frame! At this time, Xia Qingyu still maintained the posture of raising her right hand high and replied: "I was the captain of the women's team of the varsity team when I was in college. ”

Ye Shenxi said: "You haven't watched the women's ball game, where is it like this." ”

Xia Qingyu ran over to pick up the basketball, threw it to Ye Shenxi and said with a playful smile: "I told you that I practiced in a nunnery." ”

Ye Shenxi also has basketball skills, and COPY took a look at Xia Qingyu's whole set of actions just now, "Huh! "It's also hollow into the frame, but fortunately, the skill is still there.

Xia Qingyu also nodded and praised: "Yes, a little stronger than I imagined." ”

Ye Shenxi replied: "In the internal ball game of the milestone company that year, I was the only one who could play the whole game. ”

"How about a 1v1 game." Xia Qingyu provoked.

"Okay." Ye Shenxi happily replied.

The two said that the first 11 points will win, and the three-point shot will count as 2 points, and Xia Qingyu will take the lead in attacking with the ball.

I saw Xia Qingyu holding the ball on the right side of his body with both hands, leaning forward with his left shoulder to protect the ball, and standing still, but Ye Shenxi deliberately opened his teeth and claws like a treasure, waving his hands and dancing feet and jumping left and right repeatedly, making a gesture to prevent Xia Qingyu from breaking through.

Xia Qingyu sweated and said: "Hey, it's a little exaggerated." ”

"Okay......" Ye Shenxi put on a normal defensive posture.

Xia Qingyu made a feint to break through to the right side, shook it twice, saw that Ye Shenxi didn't shake, and directly slapped the ball to the right, and then the whole person rushed forward like an arrow off the string. Ye Shenxi reacted very quickly, immediately moved to the left, and kept up with Xia Qingyu, who knew that Xia Qingyu came to an emergency stop and changed direction at this time, directly changed his left hand to dribble and broke through to the left, Ye Shenxi didn't expect Xia Qingyu not only to start quickly, but also to change direction so quickly, she was directly left behind her, and even the moment she staggered by, she could still smell the fragrance left by the tips of her ponytail.

Xia Qingyu dribbled to the basket in three or two steps, easily made a layup, looked back at Ye Shenxi, who was still in place, and said, "One to zero." ”

Ye Shenxi shook his head and sighed: "I know why you asked me to play basketball, it's all an excuse for me to exercise or something, you just want to show off your own skills." ”

Xia Qingyu slowly walked back to the three-point line: "It's not light." ”

Ye Shenxi said bitterly: "Where is this still a matter of underestimating the enemy, you are just being ordered by me at work to find a place on the basketball court and abuse me to get angry." ”

Xia Qingyu was carefully thought about, and Tian shamelessly admitted: "Exactly." ”

In the second round, Xia Qingyu attacked, this time Xia Qingyu followed the routine to stop and change direction again, and Ye Shenxi had the experience of the previous round to block the position in advance, but Xia Qingyu did not succeed in breaking through. Xia Qingyu turned around and dribbled back to the three-point line to look for a breakthrough opportunity again, and said while dribbling: "Yo, it's upgraded." ”

Ye Shenxi smirked: "Saint Seiya will not be defeated by the same move......" Before he finished speaking, Xia Qingyu directly accelerated an arrow step and rushed out of Ye Shenxi's side, another easy layup, and scored another point.

Ye Shenxi didn't have time to retract his expression halfway through laughter, so his face stiffened and said, "You are still playing the trick of striking east and west." ”

Xia Qingyu also smiled: "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, two to zero." ”

In the third round, Xia Qingyu went directly to the three-point line, but unfortunately the basketball turned around twice in the frame and then turned out, and it was finally Ye Shenxi's turn to attack with the ball.

Ye Shenxi dribbled slowly, and did not choose to break through or be lazy, but directly turned his back to Xia Qingyu, and then dribbled in the direction of the basket, and actually singled directly with his back......

Normally, the defense against back-to-back singles should be to directly carry the opponent with his body, try to keep the opponent away from the basket, and at the same time spread his hands to interfere with the opponent's turning and shooting...... But Xia Qingyu is a girl after all, how can she use her chest to resist Ye Shenxi...... This one is so shameless!

I didn't expect you to have such a scoundrel side, Xia Qingyu sneered in his heart, bit his silver teeth, and put his hands on his chest, against Ye Shenxi's back.

To Ye Shenxi's surprise, Xia Qingyu was actually very strong, her slender figure and slender limbs actually resisted Ye Shenxi's movement towards the basket.

"You have so much strength!" Ye Shenxi complained bitterly.

"It's you." Xia Qingyu tried his best to be sarcastic.

Ye Shenxi used a force on his back, slightly pushed Xia Qingyu away, and took advantage of Xia Qingyu's force to directly turn around and leave Xia Qingyu behind, and then prepared to make a three-step layup.

But Xia Qingyu's movements were far faster than he expected, and when Ye Shenxi jumped, he felt a gust of wind behind him, and sure enough, he heard "Bang!" With a bang, the basketball that Ye Shenxi had just shot was fanned directly to the side of the court by Xia Qingyu from behind in mid-air.

A big hat!

After landing on the ground, Ye Shenxi turned around and looked at Xia Qingyu in a daze, the ball just now had already been shot, and Xia Qingyu was blocked from behind, with her height, she had to jump at least 80 centimeters or more...... What a terrifying physicality.

And Xia Qingyu was also stunned, the cap is the most humiliating thing on the basketball court, not to mention that Ye Shenxi was given a hat by a girl of his own, a sturdy hat that can no longer be standard.

Indeed, as Ye Shenxi said, she can be said to have been pushed forward by Ye Shenxi in her work these days, she is a very proud person herself, she has been the object of others since she was a child, and she is Ye Shenxi's direct leader at the level, so she is naturally a little lost and unconvinced.

She has never shown these emotions, she just tries to keep up with Ye Shenxi's rhythm, hoping to stand on an equal footing with him one day to discuss game design and company decisions, she wants to show her talent in Ye Shenxi's face and be recognized by him...... She worked very hard, she listened more carefully than that person when Ye Shenxi instructed others, she consulted industry data, analyzed it herself, experienced successful games on the market, and summarized their advantages and flaws...... But after all, these are not things that can be accumulated in a short period of time, every time Ye Shenxi mentions points to the members of the group, and every time she expresses her opinions, she will feel that this man is unfathomable, and the unreachable gap between herself and him...... He's a genius! He has a deep understanding of the market and users, and he also has 7 years of experience managing game development teams...... He was only two years older than himself......

Xia Qingyu naturally wanted to prove herself, even if it was on the basketball court. She unconsciously threw herself into it, very seriously, and vented it in the form of a cap.

The moment she made a move, she already regretted it.

The basketball was still bouncing on the floor, bang, bang, bang...... The voice grew more and more urgent.

Xia Qingyu wanted to laugh and laugh like usual trivial matters, or even complain to cover up her embarrassment, but she was also afraid that Ye Shenxi would be resentful in her heart, so she wanted to apologize and say sorry, but it was inevitable that she would make a big fuss. I didn't know what to say for a while, so I hung my hands in the air, standing there quietly, at a loss.

Based on Ye Shenxi's life experience, he certainly understood Xia Qingyu's feelings, and in these days of getting along, he deeply felt the pride and sensitivity of this girl, as well as the resilience of not admitting defeat.

Like her, she is just a graduate age, other peers or graduate school entrance examinations, continue to study in the ivory tower and do not enter the society, or have just entered a company or government agency, and are climbing up step by step from the bottom, with a beautiful vision for the future in their hearts, or more, are submitting resumes everywhere, and then waiting for an interview opportunity.

She's good enough, isn't she?

"Are you a youkai? Jump high enough! Ye Shenxi was shocked. ran over and picked up the basketball, and stretched out his hand to compare the height of Xia Qingyu's bounce just now, "It's so high!" ”

"Huh?" Xia Qingyu didn't react.

Ye Shenxi shook his head and sighed: "I didn't believe you when you said that you could clean up three or five like me, but now I believe it." Woman, in the future, you can deduct my salary as you like, and I won't say anything. ”

"Poof......" Xia Qingyu suddenly laughed, yes, how could a person like Ye Shenxi take such a trivial matter as a cap to heart.

"Don't deliberately show weakness." Xia Qingyu said softly.

"I'm not trying to flatter." Ye Shenxi seeks truth from facts.

Of course, Xia Qingyu knew his motor nerves: "I didn't say that you flattered, that's a fact, but it's really a bit deliberate, and your ability to comfort people is not very good...... Ha, you've found another weakness in addition to your physical fitness! ”

Yes, Xia Qingyu already knew that Ye Shenxi had insight into the small emotions in her heart, and Ye Shenxi also knew that Xia Qingyu knew that he had insight into the small emotions in her heart...... It's a bit winding, isn't it?

It's just a little episode in life.

Ye Shenxi threw the basketball to Xia Qingyu and said, "It's still two to zero, it's time for you to attack." ”

Xia Qingyu took the ball, didn't put on an offensive posture, just stared at Ye Shenxi so seriously, and said word by word after a while: "You are the monster." ”
