Zhao Zhao hasn't found a suitable part-time job for his brother yet, and he plans to take a day off from his part-time job at the library.

Zhao Zhao has a rare free afternoon this day, so he carries his schoolbag and plans to go see what his brother is doing!

There is a long distance between the first and third year of high school. Zhao Zhao walked around the woods where light and shadows danced, and crossed the basketball court. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from inside.

"Brother Ji, good shot!"

"Tsk, Xie Zian, you're a flatterer."

"Why, you don't approve of Brother Ji's ball skills?"

The basketball court was bustling with laughter, shouting and cursing. The senior high school students who should have been in class gathered here to play basketball.

Gradually the sun set. Zhao Zhao stood quietly not far away, observing the group of sweating teenagers for a long time.

Xie Zian was very considerate of Ji Yunqi's experience. While giving him the ball, he kept praising him. The smile on his face infected everyone and he was in high spirits.

At the same time, Zhao Zhao did not ignore the flashes of contempt and annoyance on the faces of the other people. The seemingly harmonious atmosphere was actually not that peaceful.

"Brother Ji, drink some water." Xie Zian wiped the sweat off his face and smiled as he threw a bottle of water to Ji Yunqi.

He casually unscrewed the bottle cap and when he tilted his head back to drink water, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhao Zhao with gloomy eyes.

"puff!"

“Cough cough cough!”

Xie Zian was startled and sprayed a mouthful of water all over Ji Yunqi's face. Ji Yunqi wiped his face and cursed with gritted teeth: "If you can't control your mouth, don't drink it!"

"Sorry, sorry." Xie Zian smiled perfunctorily. Ji Yunqi looked at him in confusion and saw his frail brother again.

The boy's eyes were always dark when he looked at him. Ji Yunqi raised his eyebrows and stared at the thin figure walking towards them.

"Xie Zian," Zhao Zhao walked closer and called him by his full name.

"You skipped class again."

Xie Zian held Zhao Zhao's shoulders with a guilty conscience and coaxed her, "The pressure of studying in the third year of high school is too great. I relax occasionally and don't skip classes often."

"Hmph." A chuckle came from the side, and Xia Siyuan said sarcastically: "Are you still stressed out by studying?"

Someone else said, "Yeah, haven't you been thinking about Brother Ji for a long time? Even if there is pressure, it shouldn't be the pressure of studying. Hiss! Damn..."

Ji Yunqi kicked him, his face not looking good: "Shut up."

He glanced at the young man behind Xie Zian again, and his cold gaze swept over everyone present one by one, lingering on him for an especially long time.

"Brother, what are you going to do next?"

"Well......."

Hearing this, Xie Zian glanced at Ji Yunqi, who still had a nonchalant smile on his face: "Of course I'm going back to class, brother~"

Xie Zian nodded quickly: "Yes, we will go back to class soon, but, did you come to see me today on purpose? What's the matter?"

As dusk deepened, the lights in the teaching building came on, illuminating their small basketball court.

Xie Zian's brows furrowed more and more. At this time, he was no longer comfortable letting Zhao Zhao go home alone.

Zhao Zhao didn't say anything else. He frowned slightly and spoke in a light tone: "You are doing strenuous exercise before your injuries have healed? Doesn't it hurt?" White light and shadow shone on his face, and the indifferent boy seemed particularly gentle at this moment.

The few people who were still making noise at the scene looked at him and gradually quieted down.

Xie Zian smiled gently: "You are still worried about me, your brother's physique is very good, and the pain has long been gone."

Zhao Zhao curled her lips, and Xie Zian took the initiative to say: "I won't go to the evening study today. Can I take you home?"

Hearing this, Xia Siyuan beside him immediately said: "Hey! You stood me up again! You......"

Before he could finish his words, Ji Yunqi kicked him. He observed his expression and immediately shut up. Seeing this, Xie Zian made a face at him. Xia Siyuan rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Xie Zian smiled and said, "Brother Ji, I'll be leaving first. Have fun, everyone."

Ji Yunqi leaned lazily against the basketball hoop and nodded casually.

After all, if he didn't nod, the young man behind Xie Zian would probably kill him with his eyes.

He chuckled, watching the two young men walking away together in the dark sky, and pulled the corners of his mouth.
