Chapter 18: The Girl Who Cheered You On The Sidelines
It's the last Sunday of summer vacation.
The school's small soccer field is much more lively than usual when there are students in class. People from outside the school are allowed to enter the school at this time, but of course only in a limited area.
A very plain white dress worn on Xiao Ting's body will look extraordinarily delicate and elegant, and that kind of beauty will be suffocating.
Xiao Ting was in a good mood today, and came to the stone bench under the woods next to the school playground very early, reading a novel quietly with a book, and waiting quietly.
Bai Chuan was busy sorting the last batch of goods, and it was almost eleven o'clock at noon, and he couldn't care about the smelly sweat, so he hurried to Xiao Ting's school.
"Hello, Xiao Ting!" A tall boy in a white football jersey greeted Xiao Ting, who was reading a book.
"You also dragged me to say hello in English, have you passed the English test ten points?!" Xiao Ting spoke in a disdainful tone, and without looking up, she knew that it was the famous playboy brother in the school-Su Han.
About Su Han, almost everyone in the school knows it, and there are many titles, what is the captain of the football team, the most handsome senior, the playboy, and then the rich.
There is also news from the grapevine, saying that he has soaked all versions of the "school flower" of the entire school within two years. Including Xiao Ting's daughter-Liu Xin.
So Xiao Ting still knows a little about Su Han. But in her eyes, Su Han is just a "garbage", and this definition began when he abandoned his best friend and turned his head to pursue himself.
"Hehe, your little boyfriend didn't come today?" As soon as Su Han opened his mouth, he was full of sarcasm.
"Better than you, a green onion with a thin bamboo pole on the ground." Xiao Ting closed the book and replied directly.
"Huh...... Heh" Su Han could only laugh dryly, and after a long time, he continued, "Have you read the letter I wrote to you yesterday?" ”
Xiao Ting felt tired from talking to him, and stretched out her finger and pointed to the trash can on the side of the court, meaning that the trash can had been thrown away.
"You ......, or else, I'll take you to the amusement park in the city during the summer vacation......"
Before he could finish speaking, a person on the runway who was riding a gearing car shouted loudly, "Little pig, I'm coming." ”
Xiao Ting quickly stood up and beckoned to the man.
"Why did you come to ......" Xiao Ting complained in her mouth, but her face was still very happy.
"I just finished busy, there are a lot of goods in the concierge today, so it's a little late, this is the one I bought for you on the road, your favorite strawberry flavored ......" After Bai Chuan handed the ice cream to Xiao Ting, he wiped his sweat and parked his bicycle in a shady place.
"You eat the first bite first, look at your hot ......" Xiao Ting opened the packaging bag of ice cream, and when Bai Chuan put the car, she handed the ice cream to Bai Chuan's mouth first, and made an open mouth and obedient expression.
"Today is better than yesterday, it's not very hot, it's just a little stuffy, will it rain in a while?" Shirakawa looked up at Summer, but it was just a little overcast.
"It's okay...... Hehe, I brought an umbrella......" Xiao Ting picked up a pink folding umbrella from where she was sitting just now.
The color of Su Han, who was sunburned in place next to him, really looked like a ripe eggplant skin. The feeling of being ignored seems really unpleasant.
Su Han turned his head and walked to the court angrily, saw a drink bottle on the side of the road, kicked it hard, and flew away.
"Who's that?" Bai Chuan asked Xiao Ting.
"The school's famous neurotic ......" Xiao Ting didn't want to say more, and took Bai Chuan's hand and walked to the shade of the tree, wanting to find a clean grass to sit on.
Shirakawa made a waiting motion, took out two plastic shells from the clip on the back seat of the bicycle, and spread them on the ground first.
"Wearing such a white skirt, and sitting on the grass, it looks very stained, I don't want my little pig to go out and be stared at by people all the time... Huh".
"You're only a little pig...... Xiao Ting sat on the plastic shell, waited for Bai Chuan to sit down, and leaned directly on Bai Chuan's shoulder. Take a bite of ice cream for yourself, and then give Shirakawa a bite.
"I just finished my work, and I haven't taken a shower yet, don't you think it stinks!"
"No matter how stinky it is, I like it!"
Under the shade of the trees, two people on the grass just played and laughed at each other. Simply happy pleasure.
Boom...... Boom, a soccer ball rolled to the feet of the two, and someone on the field shouted for Shirakawa to help kick it back.
Shirakawa is very good at playing football, and one of his favorite cartoons with his friends when he was a child was Japan's "Soccer Player", at that time no one could afford to buy real football, but anything that could be called a "ball" would be used as a ball to kick. After entering junior high school, Shirakawa would be scrambled by two teams to be a striker in every physical education class. Many years later, Xiao Ting watched the football of the Chinese team once, and teased Bai Chuan and said: "If you play, if you don't play, the Chinese team will appear in the World Cup long ago."
Shirakawa wore rubber shoes with non-slip heads, originally to avoid slipping while working, but now it seems that it is also suitable for kicking, and with a little bit of force, the football draws a very beautiful arc and falls exactly at the feet of the person who shouted.
"Why don't you go to a party together? It's been a long time since I've seen you play! Xiao Ting said to Bai Chuan.
"I haven't touched the ball in almost two years, no!" Shirakawa looked at the people playing on the field, and actually wanted to try it in his heart.
"You're going to go!" Xiao Ting stepped back from behind and looked at Bai Chuan on the court.
"No, you see they're all wearing jerseys, and I'm still wearing overalls, nondescript, in the future!" After Shirakawa finished speaking, he sat back on the grass.
Xiao Ting suddenly felt interested, threw the book in her hand into Bai Chuan's arms, pushed Bai Chuan's bicycle and said, "I'll buy you one, it's sold in the school store on the other side of the court." ”
"Hey...... Don't ride away, big sister! Bai Chuan shouted to Xiao Ting, who had already begun to walk out.
Shirakawa came on the court, wearing the black and white vertical jersey that Xiao Ting had chosen. According to Xiao Ting's aesthetics of buying clothes in the past, this kind of jersey color or style should not be what she likes, she likes pink, white, very pure colors, not fancy ones.
It's past twelve o'clock at noon, the wind is blowing, and there is no sun that can bake everything in the past, although it is a meal, but there are more and more people on the court, a few hawkers who are very business-minded, pushing mobile carts, shouting and selling lunch boxes, drinks and so on.
"Would you like to play in groups for a while?"
Someone proposed, and naturally many people would respond, and those who had been playing for a long time waved their hands and sat back on the sidelines.
7 vs. 7 ...... It's not futsal, it's not 11-a-side in a big field, anyway, it doesn't matter if it's a little crowded.
A team with a mix of clothes, a team with white jerseys, this is a group of strangers, and it's best to distinguish between teammates. When the two sides stood still, before the kick-off, they were interrupted by a person.
Su Han, who was on the field next door, kept staring at Xiao Ting's side, and when he saw Bai Chuan actually wearing a jersey and playing football, he wanted to give Bai Chuan a little "color" to see. After all, he is still the "captain" of the football team.
Bai Chuan naturally didn't understand it too much, and he didn't care, and the other person on the other side was a "stranger" to him, and it didn't make much difference. But I just feel that the new person is always staring at me, and I feel a little uncomfortable.
Not long after the opening, Shirakawa became the target of the opposite side, compared to the brainless kicking of a group of children on the dirt road on the street before, now playing football on this flat grass is like a fish in water for Shirakawa, half a year of carrying work, it is even more powerful for Shirakawa's calves - picking the ball, Marseille slalom, short-distance sprints, general physical confrontation, picking, volleying, heel passing Shirakawa is fearless and handy.
As soon as Bai Chuan catches the ball, Xiao Ting will open her throat and wave the book in her hand and shout: "Come on, Xiaochuan, come on, pig's head......" Many boys will turn their eyes to Xiao Ting, perhaps thinking "How can such a quiet and beautiful girl have such a loud voice......"
If it seems to be the nature of men to be competitive, Bai Chuan doesn't seem to have it, and his current motivation comes entirely from Xiao Ting, who is cheering for himself on the sidelines. What was originally an entertaining game has slowly turned into a battlefield full of flavor.
Su Han is even more, it should be said that the position he plays should be a striker, like Shirakawa, the two positions with the least communication in the whole game. But somehow he returned to his own half, his eyes were burning tightly against Shirakawa, not leaving a step, as long as Shirakawa received the ball, he would be very fierce.
Shirakawa blows a loss in height, but also thanks to his height, he has survived the cold several times with his flexible body. This is even more shameful for Su Han, originally wanted to humiliate Bai Chuan in front of Xiao Ting, but now he was played by Bai Chuan.
Finally, when he was once again divided by Shirakawa, Su Han angrily stretched out his foot and kicked it directly to Shirakawa's ankle.
Things were a little sudden, and Xiao Ting's first reaction was to rush onto the field. Push away Su Han, who pretended to ask Bai Chuan if he was okay. With tears in his eyes, he looked at Shirakawa, who was still lying on the ground and covering his feet.
"It's okay...... It's okay......" Bai Chuan comforted Xiao Ting, who was crying and helpless, but the beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed him.
"What's okay, I'll take a look......" Xiao Ting pulled away Bai Chuan's hand covering her feet while crying, and she was distressed when she saw the already bruised, swollen and white feet.
"Suhan...... You bastard, what if anything happens to my boyfriend...... You just wait to go out and get hit by a car and die......" Xiao Ting cursed viciously at Su Han, who was standing aside and watching coldly.
"Just such a "camel", who has no money, and can't even pass the high school exam, are you cursing me like this......" Su Han's mouth was also very mean.
"You wait for me......" Xiao Ting was interrupted by Bai Chuan before she could finish speaking.
"It's okay, you help me up......"
Bai Chuan held Xiao Ting's shoulders and stood up on one leg. "Look, it's okay......"
"Let's go, I'll carry you to the infirmary!" Xiao Ting said very resolutely.
"Won't you...... It's really okay" There were a little too many onlookers around, and it was a bit ...... to think of the scene where a big man was being carried by his girlfriend
"I don't care......" Xiao Ting didn't care if Bai Chuan disagreed, and took Bai Chuan on his back.
Along the way, Shirakawa's face was so red that he didn't know where to put it. It's just that my feet are numb and I don't feel like I'm going to be able to "resist" anymore.
