Chapter 17: Lucky Cap

The referee blew the whistle and the game was over. In the last second, Lu Li made a beautiful three-pointer to reverse the outcome of the game, and our class won the qualification for the finals by a narrow margin of 2 points.

The audience cheered, and Gu Zipei excitedly pulled a few team members to run around the playground several times.

The crowd on the playground gradually dispersed.

Gu Zipei and Lu Li walked in front of us with sweat on their heads.

I handed the remaining half bottle of iced tea to Lu Li, but Gu Zipei snatched it, "Zhen Zhen, you are eccentric, why do you only give Lu Li a drink?" ”

"Because I saved the game at the last second."

Lu Li took advantage of Gu Zipei's inattention and took the iced black tea back.

"Didn't our Ban Miss Wang bring you water just now, I didn't expect you to be a stinky boy." Gu Zijin teased.

"I don't know why Wang Ning suddenly brought me water, did you say that she poisoned the water. Should I go to the hospital now to wash my stomach? ”

With that, Gu Zipei retched a few times on the ground.

"Gu Zipei, you are too much!"

Wang Ning's roar suddenly came from behind, Gu Zipei obviously didn't expect Wang Ning to be behind us, so frightened that a spirit ran towards the school gate, Wang Ning shouted "stop" behind and tried to catch up.

Gu Zijin looked at the disappearing backs of the two, turned his head and asked, "Zhen Zhen, do you say that Wang Ning likes my brother?" ”

It seems that Gu Zijin is not a prophet of everything, at least Wang Ning likes Gu Zipei, I was the first to know. I told Gu Zijin about the conversation I heard in the toilet before, and of course I deliberately skipped the bad things Wang Ning said about Lu Li.

"I don't know if it's my brother who is too charming, or if Wang Ning has a problem with his vision. But Lu Li, you should be the happiest. ”

Gu Zijin's recent speech is amazing, and I always don't understand.

I asked Gu Zijin suspiciously, "Why should Lu Li be happy?" ”

"Nothing. Zhenzhen, my dad's car is waiting for me at the school gate, and I will go first. ”

Gu Zijin didn't explain, waved his hand to Lu Li and me, and walked towards the school gate.

I asked Lu Li again: "Lu Li, why did Gu Zijin say that you should be happy?" ”

"Probably, our class won the game, so I should be happy."

"Is that so?"

Lu Li didn't answer, picked up his schoolbag from the ground, put it on his shoulder, and said to me, "Let's go, go home." ”

I was still struggling with the question I had just asked, and he had already strode towards the school gate.

The sun had already set, and the moon had crept up into the sky at some point.

It was the rush hour after work, and Lu Li and I shuttled through the endless flow of people. Lu Li was tall and walked like a fly, and I had to trot to barely keep up with him.

Lu Li was wearing a basketball jersey today, because the weather was cold, he added a white short-sleeved T-shirt to his sleeveless vest, knee-length sports shorts on the lower body, and white knee pads on his knees. It is completely different from the noble and calm appearance when he usually plays the piano, and today he is like immersed in nature, full of vitality and vitality.

"Lu Li, you are especially like a green grass today, people can't help but want to get close and breathe the breath of spring."

Lu Li raised his arm in front of me, "Give you a breath of spring sweat." ”

The smell of sweat had already diluted in the air after walking in the wind for a while, but the residual fragrance of laundry detergent on his sleeve wafted into my nose.

"Lu Li, you use lemon-flavored laundry detergent."

The lemon flavor is quite suitable for Lu Li, as light as his people, sometimes sour and sometimes sweet.

"Dognose," Lu Li handed me the iced tea, "I can't play ball, help me unscrew the cap." ”

Usually I don't see him rest when I play ball in physical education class, but today I only played for an hour, but I was so tired that I couldn't even twist the bottle cap, is he being coquettish to me?

I took the iced tea suspiciously, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Lu Li, who drank it in one gulp.

I remembered that the owner of the commissary said that there was a prize for opening the lid, and immediately intercepted the empty bottle that was about to be thrown into the trash by Lu Li.

I picked up the cap and looked at the street lamp for a long time, recognising the words "One more bottle" printed on it.

"It's another bottle." I lifted the cap and shook it triumphantly in front of me.

Growing up, I was a lottery winning insulator, and I didn't expect to be so lucky today, I almost cried with joy.

"Then the day after tomorrow in the finals, I can drink iced tea again."

Lu Li's words were like an invitation and an agreement. There was a burst of warmth in my heart, and I unconsciously tightened the lucky bottle cap in my hand, unwilling to let go as if I was grasping happiness.

It is said that Chen Yao's sophomore (5) class also entered the finals, and coincidentally, the first game of the finals was a duel with our class, and even more coincidentally, Chen Yao will also play as a member of the team.

After Gu Zijin learned the news, he was simply restless for the past two days. As soon as class got off the day of the finals, the two of us quickly packed our schoolbags, Gu Zijin went to the playground to occupy a place first, and I went to the commissary to claim the prize first.

The owner of the commissary quickly recognized me, and he smiled and handed me iced tea, "Classmate, you are so lucky, you only bought one bottle and won the lottery." ”

I took the drink a little embarrassed, "Good luck, good luck." ”

The boss enthusiastically pointed to the mineral water piled up high in the store, "Do you still want mineral water today?" Yesterday I stocked. ”

"No need. My friend likes to drink iced tea. ”

I said goodbye to my boss and ran to the basketball court.

Today is the first game of the finals, and there are a lot of people coming, and there are several laps inside and out. I found the location of the competition station the day before yesterday from memory, and sure enough, I saw Gu Zijin in the first row.

I slowly moved to her side, but she didn't notice it, her eyes following a figure on the court. You don't have to look to know that her eyes are all Chen Yao now.

I stretched out my right hand and shook it in front of her eyes, "Look! ”

Gu Zijin finally came back to his senses and winked at me.

I smiled and asked her, "Now one is your mother's family and the other is your lover." Who are you going to support? ”

"Of course it's my love." Gu Zijin blurted out, not ashamed at all.

"The female university is not staying!" I sighed.

In the panic of grabbing the ball, I don't know who accidentally tripped Chen Yao, and Chen Yao fell heavily to the ground. The fall caused a murmur from the audience.

The referee blew his whistle and signaled a 10-minute break for the game. Chen Yao was helped by his teammates to rest. Gu Zijin hurriedly pushed away the crowd and ran towards the rest area, and I followed her closely.

Chen Yao's injuries were not serious, there was a small patch of black blue on the knee of his left leg, and a small piece of skin on the palm of his right hand.

"Senior, are you alright?"

Gu Zijin was so distressed that she stood in front of Chen Yao with tears in her eyes.

Chen Yao was cleaning his wounds, and when he saw Gu Zijin, he was stunned for a moment, and then remembered something, "Senior sister?" I'm fine, it's just a little bit of skin. ”

"I brought a band-aid."

Gu Zijin squatted on the ground, and took out towels, mineral water, ointments, and bruisers from his schoolbag one after another as if he was playing a trick, and finally took out a band-aid.

Gu Zijin tore off the Sticker and carefully covered it on the injured place of Chen Yao, her long eyelashes drooping down, perhaps because of nervousness, the eyelashes kept shaking.

"Thank you." Chen Yao pointed to the items all over the ground and asked, "But why do you have so many things in this bag?" ”

"I, our class is also playing today, I am afraid that they will get injured before I prepare."

Gu Zijin lowered his head and kept playing with the corners of his clothes with his fingers. Whenever Gu Zijin does this, it means that she is lying.

But Chen Yao didn't know that behind the girl's beautiful lie was his deep love for him, he smiled and said, "The group of boys in your class have very good ball skills. ”

"Senior, you too, your class is also very good."

Unexpectedly, Gu Zijin, who is usually sharp-toothed, became slumped in front of the people he liked.

Most of the people who have a crush are like this, even if they are cautious on the surface, they can't hide the chaos in their hearts.

Gu Zijin and Chen Yao chatted smoothly, and I quietly walked to the rest area of our class.

When Wang Ning saw me coming, she said angrily: "Some people have refused several waves of water. If you don't come again, I'm afraid he'll die of thirst. ”

I looked at Lu Li, who was surrounded by several girls handing water at the moment, waving his hand awkwardly. The first time I saw Lu Li so helpless, I remembered a time on the playground when he whispered in my ear and said "help me", and I couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Li heard my laughter, strode up to me from the group of girls, naturally took the iced tea in my hand, and poured it into his mouth with a gurgling face, looking really thirsty.

I was a little embarrassed to explain: "Just now I accompanied Gu Zijin to visit Senior Chen Yao, and I forgot about it for a while. ”

Lu Li glanced at the rest area of the second year of high school and asked, "Senior Chen Yao is okay, right?" ”

I shook my head, "It's fine. ”

Lu Li drank the last sip and threw the empty bottle into the trash can next to him.

"Bottle cap!"

I remembered forgetting to see if I had won, but when I stopped it, it was too late, and the bottle fell into the bucket with a clatter. I stood in front of the trash can, stomping my foot in remorse.

Suddenly, Lu Li stretched out his hand in front of me, and the cap of the iced tea bottle was placed in his palm.

I happily picked it up, looked inside, and jumped up excitedly, "Wow, another bottle!" ”

I think I must be naΓ―ve as a child when I'm jumping and jumping at the moment, because Lu Li looked at me and laughed.

Lu Li gave me an admiring look, "According to your luck, the commissary may be going out of business." ”

"I won't change it, I decided to keep this bottle cap, maybe it will bring me luck!"

"It seems that you, a little serf, are going to turn over, and you will have to copy your own notes in the future." After speaking, he patted the basketball and beckoned Gu Zipei to come on the court.

Lu Li's mouth has been getting poorer and poorer recently, and he is no longer the arrogant prince who cherishes words like gold. But I like him like that, kind and friendly, warm and optimistic.
