Su He's words had no deterrent effect at all. She looked at the people in front of her who were laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs. She squatted on the ground in a huff and ignored them.
Next it was Yan Cuo's turn to shoot. Actually, Yan Cuo had no experience shooting, so she just wanted to give it a try. Seeing how good Yu Muyang was at basketball, she wanted to emulate him, and having more skills wouldn't hurt.
Yan Cuo's posture was very standard, and they all looked at her with some anticipation, watching her throw the ball one by one, and then, each ball just missed the basket and fell into the grass behind.
Su He didn't react immediately. He was a little dazed at first, but then he burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, we are really the same. Now it's good. No one has to be responsible for the other's breakfast. No one will feel burdened."
Yan Cao was a little embarrassed, thinking about how he had just thought about learning more skills, but he didn't expect that his plan would be shattered so quickly. He felt a little disappointed, but still pretended to be fine and smiled, "I'm not very skilled, it's okay, I'll practice more, I will definitely get better."
Su He happened to think the same thing, so she echoed her and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we will definitely be very powerful after practicing well. We will not lose to you."
The two boys looked at their stubborn appearance and did not expose them. They walked over and led their respective girls to a basket, each of them occupied a basket and taught them how to shoot.
Yu Muyang patiently taught Yan Cuo, "Look, your grip is wrong. You can't use your wrist strength this way. You need to put the weight of the ball in your palm. When you shoot, lean back slightly, keep your eyes on the basket, and then throw it."
Yancuo followed his instructions and threw a shot. The basketball landed safely in the basket. Yancuo looked at him ecstatically. He smiled encouragingly at her, "Look, isn't this great? Come on, try again."
Yan Cuo nodded, and then practiced again and again. Later, she could score the goal skillfully. She felt great joy and said to him, "I did it."
"Yes, this isn't difficult at all. Plus, you're quick to comprehend, so it's a piece of cake."
Seeing Yan Cuo's rapid progress, Su He became a little anxious and developed a competitive spirit. He shot harder, but a few shots missed. Then, more than ten shots still missed, but he was getting closer and closer. Su He continued his momentum and the last ball landed steadily in the net.
Su He called Yan Cuo excitedly, "Yan Cuo, look, I made the shot."
Yan Cuo nodded and looked at her with praise, "Su He is awesome, very amazing."
Su He finally relaxed, looking proud, "Of course, it's up to me whether I want to do it or not. I can definitely do well in what I want to do."
"Yes, yes, you are the best."
After relaxing, Su He felt tired all over and couldn't help complaining, "I haven't exercised for a long time. Suddenly I exercised for such a long time. I feel so tired."
Gu Xuran supported her body as she was about to fall, and said helplessly, "If I hadn't supported you just now, you would have fallen down."
Su He said naturally, "I know you will support me. So I'm not worried."
"Okay, okay, where are we going now?"
Su He touched his empty stomach and looked at him, "I'm hungry, I want to eat."
Gu Xuran was also in a dilemma. It was New Year's Day and all the shops on the street were closed. It was not easy to find a place to fill her stomach.
Yan Cuo came forward from behind and said, "How about we go to Yu Muyang's house to eat hot pot. We can buy the ingredients ourselves at the supermarket and then cook it at his house."
Su He's eyes lit up and he agreed, "Okay, okay, I haven't had hot pot in a long time. The supermarket is still open, let's go buy some ingredients together."
After saying that, he pulled Yan Cuo towards the supermarket. The two boys followed behind. They looked at each other and didn't say anything, but they knew what the other was thinking.
She’s your own girl, what else can you do? Just pamper her.
The four of them arrived at the supermarket. The girls were responsible for selecting ingredients, while the boys were responsible for buying a pot specifically for hot pot. Because Yu Muyang's parents didn't like spicy food, there was no pot at home that could be used for hot pot. They looked around for a while, picked up one that looked good, and then walked towards the vegetable section.
The two girls were picking vegetables. Su He followed Yan Cuo and imitated her in choosing carefully. Soon, she had picked up a large pile of vegetables. She happened to bump into the two boys coming over. "You guys go pick out the meat. The vegetables have already been selected."
They said yes, then went to the meat section, took some according to their usual preferences, and walked towards the cashier.
The girls were studying something at the moment, looking around at the shelves and examining something in their hands. Seeing them, Su He called out, "Come over here first and see which hot pot base is better."
They walked over and found that they were studying the varieties of hot pot base, and they were a little unconcerned. Gu Xuran had never studied this before and said casually, "Why not just pick up any bag? Hot pot bases all taste about the same."
Su He was a little confused and glanced at Yan Cuo. Yan Cuo looked at them and asked, "Do you like spicy food?"
The three of them said they wanted to eat, so Yancuo took a bag of red oil hot pot base and put it in the cart. "Don't worry about it, just choose the most common one."
They all said yes and went to the cashier together to pay.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the supermarket was deserted and sparsely populated. There were quite a few things, so they were responsible for packing them into shopping bags. After the boy paid, he took the shopping bags away, and the four of them headed towards Yu Muyang's home.
Su He asked tentatively, "Yan Cuo, can you make hot pot?"
Yan Cuo shook his head. "I don't know how to cook, but Yu Muyang does. He's very good at cooking. We can just help him."
Su He nodded. "Well, then I'm relieved. It's really a delight to have a hot pot meal in such a cold weather. I'm really looking forward to it."
The two girls walked and chatted until they arrived at Yu Muyang's house. The house was huge, but no one was there, making it look a bit deserted. They took the ingredients to the kitchen and started working on washing them. Soon, they had everything ready.
They placed the hot pot on the dining table, added some water, plugged it in, and waited by the side.
When the water started to bubble, they put the hot pot base in. Watching the red soup bubbling in the pot made people's appetites whetted.
