Chapter 11: Let me see you
As soon as the school bell rang, Zheng Yuqian pulled Fang Ruo and hurriedly ran to the basketball court, she wanted to go to the platform to occupy a better position to watch the ball.
They came quite quickly, there were not many people sitting on the platform, Zheng Yuqian saw a seat with a wide field of vision while walking, she ran over with some excitement, and just wanted to put down the schoolbag, when a person pushed her, sat down quickly and seized the position, Zheng Yuqian stumbled forward twice.
"Classmate, what are you doing, this is me here first." Zheng Yuqian felt a little angry, and she frowned.
"I'm sorry, I sat down first, and your name wasn't written here, did I?" The girl who sat down looked at her defiantly, and her words were a little snarky.
"Do you have any quality? Grab the position to smell some or what? Zheng Yuqian was enraged by her words.
Zheng Yuqian was arguing with the visitor head-to-mouth, and there were a lot of classmates watching the excitement next to her.
"Forget it, forget it, let's find a place again." Fang Ruo pulled her and walked forward.
"I don't care about you, I don't have quality." Zheng Yuqian said indignantly before leaving.
"Fang Ruo, you see that person just now is too good." Zheng Yuqian felt a little aggrieved as she walked.
"Forget it, don't worry about her, we're here to watch the game, just find a visible position." Fang Ruo touched her arm.
They kept walking forward, and Fang Ruo saw that there were still two empty places, so she quickly stepped forward and put down her schoolbag.
Zheng Yuqian pursed her lips, seeing that this new position was a bit off, and there was no other seat, so she had to sit down.
The basketball court is located on the way out of the school, and some students who pass by after school stop to see a ball game and want to take a look.
Besides, today is Friday, and everyone feels like they have some time to spare. After a while, some people gathered outside the stadium, so it was not lively.
"Fang Ruo, I'll go buy two bottles of ice water, they must be very thirsty when they play, do you want water?"
Fang Ruo waved his hand, "No need, I still have water in my water bottle." Zheng Yuqian got up and walked in the direction of the commissary.
After a while, she came back and bought two more packs of tissues, she threw one to Fang Ruo and kept one for herself.
Boys wearing different uniforms entered the basketball court in turn, and Fang Ruo saw Xu Zhuoyuan at a glance, he was wearing a blue jersey, fiddling with a blue ball in his hand, and chatting with his classmates while walking, smiling brightly.
Fang Ruo also saw Xiang Zichen walking a little behind the team, their class was wearing a red basketball uniform, and the crowd was quite eye-catching, Xiang Zichen was smug with everyone's attention, he was fiddling with his hair with his hands, and his eyes looked everywhere, as if everyone was focused on him.
Fang Ruo couldn't help but laugh twice when he looked at him, although Xiang Zichen was indeed good-looking, his unique performance at the moment was still a little funny in her eyes.
"Fang Ruo, they're here!" Zheng Yuqian took her hand and said excitedly, Fang Ruo smiled and nodded at her.
After they entered the basketball court, they divided into teams to prepare for their own activities, Xu Zhuoyuan looked at the platform while making movements, there were too many people on the platform, and the school uniforms that were a few meters away from the arena made everyone look similar.
He frowned and walked through the crowd, and finally saw Fang Ruo in the corner in the second eye search, and when his eyes met, Fang Ruo waved his hand shyly at him, and he grinned at her.
"Shh The referee's whistle blew, and the atmosphere on the basketball court began to heat up, with boys running around the court.
Fang Ruo's eyes followed Xu Beiyuan's running, he was the small forward in the team and the most important scorer in the team, this was what Xu Zhuoyuan told her, and she didn't know anything about basketball before.
Fang Ruo watched his series of actions of defense, catching, jumping, moving, and dunking coherent and smooth, and her heart seemed to tremble when he scored, and her heart was also exclaiming with the people around her.
The overall strength of the players on Xu Zhuoyuan's side is slightly stronger, and the score has always been ahead.
After looking at Fang Ruo for a while, she turned her head to look at the side, Zheng Yuqian's eyes were shining, shining, her face was full of smiles, and she kept kneading the pack of tissues in her hand, Fang Ruo followed her eager gaze to look at the court, the figure running in this direction... No... It's Xiang Zichen!
When Xiang Zichen scored, she exclaimed excitedly.
So that's it!
No wonder she went to her house to buy a book last time, the book "Hometown" was the book she brought to school to read before, and she bought the same one that day; and the tutoring materials that Xiang Zichen asked him to hand over to her cram school during the last recess, and she also went to the same cram school with him; and the shyness on her face when she faced Xiang Zichen; She asked herself to call her friends out to play with her during the summer vacation; She was nervous and incoherent every time she passed by the second shift....
Fang Ruo suddenly realized at this time that all of this was because he liked it. Zheng Yuqian came back to her senses at this time and noticed her gaze.
"What's the matter, Fang Ruo, why are you looking at me?" Zheng Yuqian looked at her a little arrogantly.
Fang Ruo shook his head and didn't speak, but his eyes were full of smiles.
Zheng Yuqian noticed the different meaning in her eyes, and she blushed.
"Fang Ruo, do you know everything?" She bit her lip and looked at Fang Ruo.
"Haha, I think I should have known, I didn't even notice it before."
"I didn't mean not to tell you, myself... Not sure either. Zheng Yuqian felt that her face was even hotter at this time.
"It's okay, let's watch the game." Fang Ruo smiled and patted her shoulder.
When the game entered halftime, Xu Zhuoyuan and Xiang Zichen both stopped for a simple rest and tidying up, playing ball and running around was still very physically demanding, and he could feel his hard work from so far away.
After a brief trimming, the race continued to rage.
The young teenagers on the court were running, Xiang Zichen was shuttling and running on the court, looking for opportunities to take the ball and shoot, but the performance was not bad, and the score of the chasing and catching up team has also improved a lot, Xu Zhuoyuan's side cooperated better with his teammates, scoring more goals, and the score was a little higher.
There were only three minutes before the end of the game, Fang Ruo glanced at the scoreboard in the field, it was 51:48, the score gap was not big, and it was even more nervous, Fang Ruo couldn't help but sweat in his heart.
Xu Zhuoyuan dribbled the ball and was looking for a chance to shoot, but the opposing team deliberately pushed and shoved, and between the friction between the two, the referee blew the whistle, and he was made a free throw.
The players all retreated behind him, Xu Zhuoyuan stood outside the white line, patted the ball in his hand, looked up at the rebound, Fang Ruo felt his heart was twisted at the moment, and he sweated for him.
Xu Zhuoyuan picked up the ball and slowed down, and threw the ball in his hand after consideration, Fang Ruo only saw that the ball was in a perfect parabola, and then fell into the basket - in!
At this time, it was time, the game was over, Xu Zhuoyuan and they won!
Everyone on the court cheered, Fang Ruo heard someone shouting Xu Zhuoyuan's name in a trance, Xu Zhuoyuan and the team members also high-fived together, Fang Ruo looked at Zheng Yuqian, her eyes were a little lonely.
"There are wins and losses in the game, and the important thing is participation." Fang Ruo comforted.
"It's okay, let's go deliver water!" Zheng Yuqian became excited again.
"Okay." Fang Ruo suddenly felt a little shy.
The two of them carried their school bags and picked up the two bottles of water placed on the seats, although they had been left for a long time, the ice cubes in the ice water had melted into water, but the water was still slightly cool.
Fang Ruo and Zheng Yuqian shuttled among the people who were about to go home, Zheng Yuqian took the water and walked towards the court in the direction of Zichen.
When Fang Ruo was about to walk in front of Xu Zhuoyuan, someone took the first step to deliver water, and it was the girl who occupied the seat just now.
She handed the water to Xu Zhuoyuan, and the expression on her face was not as bitter and mean as she was just now, but extremely shy.
Xu Zhuoyuan politely said thank you, but didn't answer, and then walked in Fang Ruo's direction.
Fang Ruo smiled at him and walked up to him as well.
"I'm going to die of thirst, I." Xu Zhuoyuan's throat felt like it was going to smoke at this time.
Fang Ruo hurriedly handed him the water in his hand, he unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank it, the Adam's apple slid up and down, the sweat on his forehead dripped all the way, and the jersey was already soaked.
"Drink slowly, don't rush." Fang Ruo saw that he drank too violently.
"Ah, it feels so much better." He paused, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at her with a smile. Fang Ruo handed him the tissue in his hand, and he took out a few and wiped a few handfuls on his forehead.
The girl next to her looked at the two people in front of her, and left with water.
Fang Ruo curiously asked Xu Zhuoyuan who this was, Xu Zhuoyuan said that he didn't know her, and then one day he saw her in class, and then he knew that they were classmates, but he didn't even remember the girl's name.
Zheng Yuqian later said with relief that the expression on her face when she left was like someone had taken her seat 10,000 times.
"You played really well today." Fang Ruo looked at the sweat dripping from his body, as if it flowed into her heart.
"Hee-hee, it's okay." Xu Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard Fang Ruo's praise.
"What are you two talking about here?" Xiang Zichen walked over with a smile, his good mood was not affected by losing the game. Zheng Yuqian followed behind him, her face flushed.
"Said you did a good job." Xu Zhuoyuan quipped.
"Hey, each other, you kid stole me a few balls." Xiang Zichen pretended to be displeased, but the corners of his mouth were still raised.
They laughed a few times, "Let's go home together, it's not too early." Xu Zhuo said from afar as he went to get his schoolbag.
Zheng Yuqian walked to Fang Ruo's side, her blushing face seemed to be about to pinch out water, Fang Ruo reached out to hug her, giving her some courage.
"Fang Ruo, he said that the water is delicious, could it mean something else?" Zheng Yuqian whispered in Fang Ruo's ear.
"He should just want to say thank you." Fang Ruo felt that Zheng Yuqian's worried look was very cute.
"Oh, that's good, I thought he didn't like it." Zheng Yuqian breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression returned to normal.
The four of them walked out of the school gate with a smile, and Zheng Yuqian said goodbye to the three of them and rode home alone.
The three of them laughed and laughed along the way, chasing each other in the afterglow.
The wind in the summer evening is warm, and it is very comfortable to blow on people, and then Fang Ruo only thinks that it is not the beauty of the wind, it is because of their beauty...
