Chapter 27 Chapter 27 How can you rely on others for such things?

The basketball game was held in an indoor court and there were a lot of people watching.

Ji Maili was pushed to the first row of the viewing area. He sat there and watched a dozen people running around chasing a ball, and yawned out of boredom.

The team formation on the court was also particularly confusing. Class 10 could have a girl as the physical education committee member, which obviously meant that their overall sports were not good. After picking and choosing, only Zhou Luyang signed up for basketball. Class 1 happened to be short of one person, so Zhou Luyang took over.

In the first half, Class 1 and Class 3 tied. Zhou Luyang discussed the strategy for the second half with Tao Dacheng and others. After talking for a long time, he turned around and found that Shen Lu was not listening at all.

Zhou Luyang wiped the sweat from his head: "Slayer, what are you looking at?"

Tao Dacheng glanced in the direction Shen Lu was looking and said, "Don't look at it. He fell asleep and can't be lost."

Ji Maili sat there holding a bottle of water, his head nodding in his sleep. Every time someone behind him shouted, he would be startled awake. Now it was halftime and there were no startling sounds, so he lulled himself into a drowsy state.

Zhou Luyang asked: "Brother Mai went to steal chickens last night?"

Tao Dacheng looked at Shen Lu and smiled, "Did someone steal your chicken?"

Shen Lu glared at Tao Dacheng and said, "You guys discuss it, I'm going to go get some water."

As soon as Shen Lu walked outside the court, he was stopped by a girl with a bottle of water in her hand. "Shen Lu, this is for you."

In the stands, Liang Xiaohui seemed to have a loudspeaker stuck in her throat, and she roared loudly: "Chen Lu, you can only drink the water from our class ten!"

Everyone in the stadium first looked at Liang Xiaohui, and then some people cast their eyes on Chen Lu. Even the girl who was giving Chen Lu water was affected by the strange circle and suddenly withdrew her hand.

The girl looked confused, but tactfully said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know someone brought you water."

Shen Lu had no intention of answering: "It doesn't matter."

Liang Xiaohui's shout woke Ji Maili up. He stood up and asked the people behind him, "Is the fight over?"

Liang Xiaohui limped down from the back, stepping on a stool and saying, "What the hell are you doing? It's time for a break. Go get some water for your Shen Lu."

Ji Maili was pushed out by Liang Xiaohui. He looked back at Liang Xiaohui and thought to himself, I don't know what this woman ate, how could she be so strong? Why did she participate in the 1,500 yuan competition? She should just participate in the tug-of-war.

Before Ji Maili could figure out what Liang Xiaohui was thinking, Chen Lu came over and said, "Water."

Ji Maili handed him the water he had been holding for half the court.

Chen Lu: "You've made me warm."

Ji Maili thought he was too much trouble and said, "Warm water nourishes the stomach."

Shen Lu unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. Liang Xiaohui crossed her arms and nodded with satisfaction: "This is the correct way to open it."

A girl from an unknown class called out, "Chen Lu, is the water in Class 10 good?"

Shen Lu glanced in the direction of the sound, but didn't find anyone. He only saw a group of girls laughing, "It's delicious."

Ji Maili pushed him inexplicably: "Are you sick?"

It was noisy here, and Ji Maili didn't like the way those people looked at him, as if he were a monkey. He put the hood of his sweatshirt on his head and said, "I'm going out for a walk."

Shen Lu had no idea that he had lost interest in playing basketball to this extent, nor did he know how determined he was to ask him to teach him how to play basketball. "Who will take my water if you leave?"

Ji Maili, "If you leave the water here, are you still afraid that someone will poison you?"

Shen Lu nodded, "Afraid."

Ji Maili snatched the water from Shen Lu's hand and turned to hand it to Liang Xiaohui, "Hold it to him, don't let anyone poison him."

Liang Xiaohui quickly retreated, "I won't take it. You should do your own work. How can you expect others to do this kind of thing?"

Ji Maili: “…”

It's just getting some water, what's the big deal?

Ji Maili forced the water into Liang Xiaohui's hands and said, "Take it. If he is poisoned to death, I will come after you."

There were other competitions going on on the playground. Ji Maili came out of the basketball court and went to watch a discus thrower. He thought this job was suitable for Liang Xiaohui.

On the other side, they were having a three-legged race, which Ji Maili found quite interesting. He squatted beside them and laughed as he watched one couple after another fall.

Suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Ji Maili turned around and saw Xia Yangyang standing behind him: "Ji Maili, have you seen Zhu Kailin?"

Ji Maili: "I don't know him."

Throughout the entire semester of his freshman year, Ji Maili had been fighting and opposing Shen Lu. He hardly knew anyone in his class, and there were only a few he could call by name. He only remembered Xia Yangyang and Liang Xiaohui during the sports meet these past two days.

Xia Yangyang looked around nervously: "What should I do? Our class is almost here, and I can't find her."

Ji Maili: "Just call her."

Xia Yangyang: "I didn't bring my phone."

Ji Maili brought it, and he handed her the phone, "Do you know the phone number?"

Xia Yangyang shook his head, "I don't know."

Ji Maili rarely tried to help others, but he failed. He put his phone back in his pocket and said, "There's nothing I can do now."

Seeing Ji Maili about to leave, Xia Yangyang suddenly called him: "Ji Maili, is there something wrong?"

Ji Maili put his hands in his pockets and glanced at her: "Is strolling a big deal?"

Ji Maili has become much more approachable recently. Xia Yangyang made up his mind and asked, "Can you compete with me?"

Ji Maili pointed at the people lying in a pile behind him and said, "Compared to this?"

Xia Yangyang nodded.

Ji Maili advised: "Just give up. You can't win anyway. It would be so embarrassing if you fall flat on your face."

Ji Maili left after he finished speaking, and Xia Yangyang chased after him, "I won't hold you back, I've practiced before, I'm really good at it."

Ji Maili glanced at her and said, "I haven't practiced it."

Xia Yangyang took out a rope from his pocket and said, "It's okay. We still have time. We can practice first."

Ji Maili looked at the rope in Xia Yangyang's hand and stopped. Compared to playing basketball, he felt that three-legged race was more interesting. It would be even more interesting if he played with Chen Lu. Playing with a girl...

Zhu Kailin was so focused on watching the game that she forgot about the other game. When she came out, the three-legged team was already in place. Zhu Kailin was stunned when she saw Ji Maili taking her place and their feet were tied together with Xia Yangyang's.

Ji Maili tilted his head, and it was unknown what he said to Xia Yangyang. Because their legs were tied together, Ji Maili seemed to be talking to Xia Yangyang. Xia Yangyang nodded after listening, and then Zhu Kaili saw Ji Maili's hand on Xia Yangyang's shoulder.

Zhu Kaili took a deep breath, took out her phone, and snapped a series of photos and sent them to the year group...

Inside the basketball court, the girls in the stands were cheering for their team one moment, then swarming out the next. Tao Dacheng took a curious look and nearly missed the ball. "What's wrong with these girls?"
