In Jinling in October, after a rain, it sent away the heat of summer and ushered in the sassy autumn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

One Saturday morning, a tall boy stood on the edge of a pitch, occasionally checking the time on his phone. At 8:45, there were still 15 minutes before the agreed time, and I had been standing here for an hour, thinking that I could slowly calm my mood, but I didn't expect that the closer I was to the appointed time, the more nervous I became.

This tall boy is Ye Hai, he and Ji Yanran agreed to meet at this stadium at 9 o'clock in the morning on Saturday, and the night before the date, Ye Hai was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned, and Ji Yanran's sweet smile sometimes appeared in his mind, and sometimes Ji Yanran's cute grimace appeared. Before he knew it, it was the early morning of the next day, Ye Hai got up early to clean up and went out more than 1 hour early. It usually takes 20 minutes to drive, but it took 10 minutes to ride.

When Ye Hai saw that the time on his phone was pointing to 8:50, a finger suddenly lightly tapped his right arm. Ye Hai turned his head to look, and Ji Yanran's beautiful face appeared in front of him.

Ye Hai, who is usually able to talk nonsense with Sun Bin, didn't know how to speak nervously in the face of Ji Yanran again, but Ji Yanran's smile calmed Ye Hai.

The atmosphere is very good, and Ye Hai found that this beautiful girl actually has a lot of common topics with herself, basketball, music, and travel. The two sat on a chair on the side of the court and chatted for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a slapping ball outside the court, and a little boy about elementary school looked like he walked into the court.

The little boy walked into the court excitedly and found that there were people in the court, and there was a hint of helplessness in his crisp voice: "It's so difficult to find a quiet court to play." ”

Ye Hai suddenly felt a little speechless, and thought: "Little brother, don't hurry up and change the court, don't be a light bulb here." ”

The little boy looked at Ye Hai and Ji Yanran, when he saw Ji Yanran, his eyes lit up obviously, and when he saw Ye Hai, his expression was with a trace of disdain.

The little boy seemed to see through Ye Hai's thoughts, and started practicing basketball on the side of the half court where Ye Hai was.

Ji Yanran looked at the little boy's eyes looking at herself and Ye Hai, and said with a smile: "What a cute little boy." ”

The little boy was not in a hurry to shoot on the court, but was practicing various movements and dribbling, which seemed really interesting.

The little boy practiced for a while, and when he heard Ye Hai talking to Ji Yanran about basketball, he said loudly to Ye Hai: "You can also play basketball?" ”

Ye Hai was amused by the little boy's question, and said, "What? Would you like to try it? ”

The little boy was unconvinced and said, "Try it." ”

Ji Yanran was also amused by the little boy's performance, covered her mouth and smiled: "Ye Hai, you have to fight hard, don't lose to this little handsome guy." ”

Hearing this beautiful big sister call himself a little handsome guy, the little boy suddenly straightened his waist with some spirit and said, "Beautiful big sister, my name is Liu Chen, may I ask your name." ”

Ji Yanran seemed to like this little brother very much, and said, "My name is Ji Yanran, little brother." ”

Liu Chen said: "I'm in the fourth grade, so I'm not young. Are you this brother's girlfriend? ”

Ji Yanran's face, which was still smiling, turned red, Ye Hai awkwardly clamped Liu Chen with one hand, and said as he walked into the court: "Come, let my brother teach you to play." ”

Liu Chen broke away from Ye Hai and said disdainfully: "You teach me to play?" Save it, you have to brag to catch up with this beautiful sister. Who are you sister? ”

Ye Hai was speechless, thinking to himself why the children are so precocious now, what are they still doing when they are in the fourth grade?

"You come and attack three goals, and if you can score one, I'll tell you."

"Okay, that's a deal." Liu Chen said to Ye Hai.

Ye Hai and Ji Yanran looked at each other and smiled, facing this little brother who was almost up to his chest, spread out his hands and said helplessly: "Let's start quickly." ”

Liu Chen dribbled the ball on the outside, and Ye Hai stood up straight, thinking that he and this kind of imp would not need to make much effort to clean it up.

"I'm coming!" With Liu Chen's imposing roar, Ye Hai found that Liu Chen's eyes revealed the eyes that only a real basketball player would have, not at all like a fourth-grade boy.

Liu Chen broke through from the left side of Ye Hai with the ball.

Feints! Ye Hai judged. Sure enough, after Liu Chen made a breakthrough feint to the right with the ball, he immediately changed direction to the left with the ball in his right hand.

Hehe, it's still quite good. Ye Hai thought to himself, so the center of gravity of his body tilted to his right, ready to directly cut off Liu Chen's ball.

How! To Ye Hai's surprise, in the process of Liu Chen's right hand holding the ball to the left, he suddenly dribbled the ball behind him with his right hand, and the basketball was actually flicked down by his right hand, bounced under Liu Chen's crotch, and returned to the right hand that Liu Chen had withdrawn in front of him.

"Totally shaken!" Ye Hai was surprised in his heart.

Liu Chen used this breakthrough feint to completely pass Ye Hai, even if it was because Ye Hai's defense was listless, but he didn't deny that the feint of this ball was very beautiful!

However, Ye Hai deserves to be Ye Hai, although he was passed by Liu Chen, he still quickly adjusted his movements, quickly chased after Liu Chen, and at the moment when Liu Chen made a layup, he slapped a big hat from behind and fanned the ball out of the court.

Ye Hai let out a cold sweat, and Ji Yanran, who was on the sidelines, also showed a look of surprise.

Liu Chen stomped his feet hatefully, pointed at Ye Hai and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you are so tall and taller than me, this ball would definitely not be covered!" ”

Ye Hai calmed down from his surprise, closed his eyes and thought about Liu Chen's feint just now, this feint was completely different from the regular basketball feint.

Opening his eyes, Ye Hai said with a smile of excitement on the corner of his mouth: "On the court, only wins and losers, regardless of the reason." Next ball. ”

Ji Yanran seemed to see that Ye Hai was starting to get serious, and smiled to cheer Liu Chen up: "Liu Chen, come on!" ”

Liu Chen heard Ji Yanran's cheering, and immediately recovered from the frustrated temper just now, and returned to the three-point line with the ball with a confident expression, and said to Ye Hai: "The second ball has started!" ”

Ye Hai watched Liu Chen's movements intently at this time, and found that Liu Chen's dribbling felt very good. Liu Chen took a deep breath of the ball and suddenly broke through from Ye Hai's right side.

"Did you change direction?" Ye Hai thought to himself.

After Liu Chen took a step forward with the ball in his left hand, his right foot was also raised.

"It's not a feint!" Ye Hai judged the direction of Liu Chen's breakthrough.

Suddenly, Liu Chen seemed to be unstable with the ball, and the ball in his left hand suddenly came out of his hand.

Golden opportunity! After all, he is a primary school student, and his basic skills are not solid. Ye Hai directly stretched out his right hand and prepared to break the ball.

At the moment when the ball bounced to the ground, seeing that Ye Hai was about to break the ball, Liu Chen suddenly exerted his right foot, his body suddenly moved forward half a position, and his right hand stretched forward, one step ahead of Ye Hai to touch the basketball. Immediately after that, his right hand flicked to the right, and the basketball changed direction and ran to Ye Hai's left side. And at this moment, Ye Hai's center of gravity has completely reached his right side.

Incredible! I actually deceived myself again, and this time my focus has completely shifted to the wrong direction.

"I'm going to score!" Seeing that this ball had completely deceived Ye Hai, Liu Chen shouted excitedly.

At the last moment, Ye Hai's right foot quickly stepped on the ground and forcibly stopped his center of gravity moving to the right, his whole body swung to the left, stretched out his left hand vigorously, and slapped the ball away before the basketball was about to reach Liu Chen's right hand.

Liu Chen was taken aback, and after rushing out of a step, he looked back, Ye Hai had already taken the ball and looked at him.

Liu Chen put his hands on his waist, his cheeks bulged slightly, and he stared at Ye Hai with an angry expression.

Ye Hai also seemed a little embarrassed, touched his head and hurriedly said, "Luck, luck!" ”

"I played well, I almost succeeded! Come on! Ji Yanran's voice of encouragement came from the sidelines again.

Ye Hai looked at Ji Yanran and saw Ji Yanran's iconic cute grimace, as if to say: Even a child can't be cleaned up. Ye Hai lowered his head and smiled helplessly, thinking that if these two goals were faked by players of comparable stature, he might have really been thrown 2 goals in a row.

This kid is not simple. Ye Hai looked at Liu Chen again. Although he is only in the fourth grade, his chest and shoulders are broad, and his slender figure shows a good habit of exercising regularly, and the proportions of his calves show a better bounce among his peers. The rudiments of a standard basketball player. This kid has worked really hard.

The third goal, I'm going to take it seriously. Ye Hai intends to use all his strength to defend the third ball well.

Liu Chen found that Ye Hai's eyes had changed, and even the defensive posture he put on brought out a strong sense of oppression.

"I threw in the towel." Liu Chen raised his hand and said lightly to Ye Hai, who was putting on a tight defensive posture.

Ye Hai instantly collapsed and said, "Stinky boy, didn't you say that you want to play three balls?" How did you suddenly admit defeat! ”

"Hey!" Liu Chen replied, "I'm just a fourth-grade student, and it's normal to lose to a high school student. Since you can't beat it, you admit defeat. ”

Ji Yanran walked over from the side of the court, clapped her hands and said, "Liu Chen, you played very well, maybe when you grow up, you will be more powerful than this big brother." ”

"Of course!" Liu Chen puffed up his chest and said without hesitation, "This big brother is just good-looking, and his playing level is quite average." ”

Ye Hai had a black line on his face, looking at Ji Yanran gloatingly and snickering.

Ji Yanran obviously liked this little brother very much and invited him to join the chat. Liu Chen was naturally very happy, sitting next to Ji Yanran and asking long and short questions, and sneering at Ye Hai from time to time, making Ji Yanran laugh non-stop.

Time passed quickly, and while Ye Hai and Liu Chen were still arguing, Ji Yanran received a phone call. After picking up, Ji Yanran said to Ye Hai with some apologies: "There are some things at home that need to go back now." ”

"Sister, are you leaving so soon?" Without waiting for Ye Hai to speak, Liu Chen said with a reluctant expression.

"Well, but we're friends now, maybe we'll see each other again." Ji Yanran said to Liu Chen with a smile.

"Alright, I'm going to go too." Liu Chen stood up, picked up his basketball, and said to Ji Yanran, "Sister, if this brother treats you badly, remember to come to me, and I will be your boyfriend." ”

Ye Hai broke down again, Ji Yanran covered her mouth and smiled and secretly glanced at Ye Hai, who had been suppressed by Liu Chen today, nodded at Liu Chen, then took her hand away, and said with a slight smile: "Okay!" ”

Liu Chen's eyebrows immediately fluttered, waved his hand at Ye Hai, and said, "I'm leaving, my brother who can only brag." Without waiting for Ye Hai to respond, he waved his hand with Ji Yanran and said, "Goodbye, sister, I have your number!" After saying that, he hugged the basketball and ran away.

Ye Hai couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that his first date was actually over like this.

Before leaving, Ji Yanran lowered her head a little shyly and said to Ye Hai: "Next Sunday is my 16th birthday, and my family will prepare a birthday party for me, can you come and attend?" ”

"Absolutely!" Ye Hai, who was worried about how to meet Ji Yanran again next time, heard the good news and hurriedly agreed.

Ji Yanran told Ye Hai the address of his home, suddenly stood on tiptoe, kissed Ye Hai lightly on the cheek, and ran out of the court.

Ji Yanran's back disappeared for a long time, and Ye Hai still stood in place with his cheeks in his hands, looking at the direction in which Ji Yanran disappeared, reminiscing about the kiss just now.
