The study pace has been tight for more than a month. The physical education class that she used to dislike the most in the summer has now become her look forward to.

In the senior year of high school, art, music, morality and politics were cancelled, and the only non-college entrance examination subject left was physical education. Only during the physical education class would this huge machine called "senior year of high school" temporarily stop and enter a rest period.

The physical education classes in the affiliated high school are different for each class and each semester. I heard that freshmen have swimming, waltz, Latin, aerobics, Tai Chi and the like, and the courses become more and more hardcore as you get older.

The physical education class for Class 6 this semester is basketball. The boys are very excited, but most of the girls are not interested.

The first class on Thursday afternoon was physical education. After parking the car, Shengxia went straight to the playground.

There were people sitting in groups of three or four under the shade of the trees next to the playground. The physical education teacher had just arrived, and when he said "class is starting", the students lined up lazily.

Shengxia was new and didn't know where to stand. Xin Xiaohe ran over and pulled her arm. "Stand on my left." As soon as she finished speaking, she compared and found that Shengxia was taller than her. "Are you wearing bras to increase your height?"

"No."

The girls nearby also looked over.

How can a pair of white canvas shoes in the middle of summer have any insoles to increase height?

"Shengxia is really taller than Lao Xin, can't you tell?"

"real!"

Xin Xiaohe: "Then stand on my right."

She moved him around in the middle of summer.

The boys were watching from behind and were also surprised.

As they were arguing, Zhang Shu and Hou Junqi came over from the direction of the gymnasium pushing a cart of basketballs, the wheels making a clanging sound as they rolled over the ground.

In fact, Hou Junqi was the only one pushing the bicycle, while Zhang Shu was walking on the side, dribbling the ball occasionally. His posture was casual, his pace did not change, and he did not deliberately stop to show off...

The sunlight danced on his fluffy forehead, and the boy looked bright and dazzling.

No wonder some people say that youth is synonymous with sunshine.

Even though the classmates have become immune to it over time, the girls still gather in groups of two or three to whisper.

Xin Xiaohe's roommate Zhou Xuanxuan said: "Hou Junqi looks quite handsome when he plays basketball, but when he stands next to Zhang Shu, he looks like a eunuch."

"Hahahaha," Xin Xiaohe laughed without reservation, "Indeed."

Although they often quarrel with each other, Xin Xiaohe is impressed by Zhang Shu's appearance.

Hou Junqi was originally recruited as a basketball player, but he got injured and stopped practicing. He quickly gained weight when he had free time and no longer looked like his original self. Fortunately, he was tall, so he didn't look fat, just strong.

If he wasn't standing next to Zhang Shu, he would be considered a handsome guy.

"Shengxia," Xin Xiaohe patted Shengxia's shoulder, "Who is more handsome, the boy from No. 2 Middle School or the boy from the Affiliated Middle School?"

Shengxia was in a daze. She froze when she saw the half knee pads exposed under Zhang Shu's basketball pants.

"midsummer?"

Shengxia came back to her senses and said, "Huh?"

"Which boy is more handsome, the one from No. 2 Middle School or the one from the Affiliated Middle School?"

Shengxia fell into thought.

Generally speaking, it should be No. 2 Middle School. Most of the students there are better dressed, especially those who are "hanging out in society". Although they are a bit sloppy, they know how to put on style. Relatively speaking, the boys in the Affiliated Middle School are more plain.

But if we talk about individuals...

Zhou Xuanxuan said with a smile: "Don't embarrass her. Didn't you see that she was staring at Zhang Shu with her eyes wide open?"

midsummer:……

As far as I’m concerned, she doesn’t have any conscience.

She didn't know if she was too sensitive, but she felt Zhang Shu's gaze was on her intentionally or unintentionally.

Damn it, he's wearing knee pads just to demonstrate.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Xin Xiaohe asked, "Xia Xia, has your aunt left? How are you going to play basketball later?"

Shengxia was stunned.

It really proves the saying that if you tell one lie, you need a hundred to cover it up.

"It'll be alright soon," she replied.

Hou Junqi acted very well as a sports committee member. He first led everyone to jog to warm up, then did some stretching exercises, and cooperated with the teacher to do some demonstration movements. He was more professional than the teacher.

The next step was free practice. The boys didn’t need to practice at all. They were divided into groups of three or five to compete.

The girls threw the ball to each other, and we stood in the scorching sun chatting idly.

"Hit the balls, hit them! What's the point of throwing them around? Are you dolphins?" The physical education teacher roared. The girls didn't dare to respond and dispersed to practice dribbling.

When I was in No. 2 Middle School, the physical education class was very casual. Basically, we just ran two laps and then had free time.

So in the summer, I almost never touched a basketball. I couldn't dribble or even dribble the ball, and I had to slowly dribble the ball from one end of the playground to the other, and then slowly dribble it back.

She was crouching down and playing with the ball, not paying attention to what was going on around her until she heard the words, "Midsummer!"

As she stood up with the ball in her arms, she saw a basketball flying towards her from high above, accompanied by the rustling sound of the wind, looking very imposing.

At the same time, a figure in a basketball uniform approached her, put his strong arms around her shoulders and pulled her aside, then let her go and caught the ball steadily with both hands.

The ball stopped right in front of her.

Just a short distance away.

I was still in shock in midsummer and my heart was beating violently and rapidly.

Zhang Shu's face popped out from behind the ball, "Wow!" He grabbed the ball and pretended to hit her, releasing it and pulling it back, holding the ball tightly. Shengxia's eyes closed subconsciously because of this fake action. Zhang Shu smiled wantonly and proudly, "Are you scared silly?"

Xin Xiaohe, who had just called her, also ran to her side, "Are you okay? Don't practice next to them, they hit too hard."

Shengxia finally came back to her senses.

Just now, their ball flew over and Zhang Shu caught it.

At this moment, his expression showed that he was taking credit.

"Thank you." Shengxia murmured, hugged her arms, and felt her shoulders slightly warm from his brief touch.

Zhang Shu raised his lips and said, "No problem."

After saying that, he dribbled back to the court. The boys looked in Shengxia's direction and cheered, and words like "hero saves the beauty" and "brother Shu is awesome" all entered Shengxia's ears.

Even Xin Xiaohe smiled and said, "Damn, don't you know how fast Zhang Shu runs? Faster than a ball. Isn't he handsome?"

"I...I didn't see clearly."

"real?"

"Um."

"Eh~"

After that class, Shengxia no longer wanted to attend physical education class.

She became listless as soon as she returned to the classroom, but Zhang Shu was in a completely different state. He was full of energy and seemed to have endless energy.

His forehead was covered in sweat. He stood under the fan, tilted his head back and poured soda into his throat. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if he was swallowing a quail egg whole.

"Do you have any tissues?" he asked after finishing a can of soda.

Shengxia took out a pack of tissues from the drawer and handed it to him. He took most of it without hesitation and lifted his hair to wipe the sweat off his face.

Hou Junqi walked in from outside the classroom, saw this scene, and said with a smile: "Hey, how can someone be so happy when a beautiful girl serves him after playing ball? The treatment after being a hero and saving a beautiful girl is different, huh?"

Shengxia slowly withdrew the hand holding the tissue and threw it on his desk, with an expression that said - help yourself.

Zhang Shu glanced at her rapidly reddening earlobes, crumpled up the tissue he had used to wipe his sweat, and threw it at Hou Junqi's head, "Here, my beauty, I caught it. Are you happy?"

Hou Junqi held his head with both hands to block the attack of the tissue: "Fuck, is it necessary!"

After the official start of school, senior high school students can no longer openly take extra classes. The school organizes collective "self-study" all day on Saturday and Sunday morning. Participation is voluntary, but everyone knows that if they don't come, they will fall behind, so almost no one refuses to participate.

In practice, it means we only have half a day off on Sunday afternoon.

On Saturday, most of the students in the class changed out of their blue and white school uniforms and put on their regular clothes. The class regained its bright look during the holiday remedial classes.

Many girls wore beautiful skirts or shorts, looking very elegant.

Shengxia was still wearing the blue and white school uniform, with the collar buttoned tightly and his pants hanging loosely.

Xin Xiaohe asked: "Xia Xia, why are you still wearing your school uniform?"

Shengxia looked down at herself and said, "Huh? Why aren't you wearing any?"

Zhang Shu heard the voice, turned around, and couldn't help searching in his mind, what did she wear before she was issued a school uniform?

I have no impression of it at all. It looks almost the same as the school uniform.

"You don't have to wear it on weekends?" Xin Xiaohe said.

Shengxia frowned: "Oh, I didn't notice, they are almost the same."

She bought three sets of school uniforms, enough to change.

Xin Xiaohe said: "I think you look good in a white, cotton, linen or gauze skirt. No, it doesn't matter what kind of skirt you wear. You should look good in anything!"

"I don't know." Shengxia replied.

"You've never worn one before?" Xin Xiaohe was a little surprised when she saw Shengxia's blank look. "I thought I was the only one who never wore a skirt."

Shengxia just said, "Because I want to ride a bike."

"The electric donkey is fine. It doesn't have to pedal. Can you wear a longer skirt?"

"Yeah... that's right," Shengxia was not good at denying others, "pants are more convenient."

"When I was a kid, I loved wearing skirts, and I had to wear sparkly skirts," Xin Xiaohe said when she talked about her childhood, without giving herself any face, "but my legs were so thick and dark, and my childhood friend said I looked like a fluorescent pig, hahahahahaha, and from then on I could only watch others."

"No, you are thin?" This is the truth of Shengxia. Although Xin Xiaohe cannot be called slim, she is definitely not fat.

Xin Xiaohe sighed: "I only became thin when I was in high school, but I don't like to wear it anymore. I'm not used to it. I always feel cold, hahaha."

Shengxia nodded, knowing this feeling very well, "Me too."

I like it, but I'm not used to it.

Zhang Shu was bored and actually had the mind to listen to two girls chatting with his chin in his hand.

Hearing this, he raised his brows.

Her too?

What is she too? Did she also become thin in high school, or is she not used to wearing skirts?

The image of her wearing a skirt suddenly flashed through his mind, with her slender white arms, slender white ankles, and narrow waist - he glanced at his own forearm and estimated that he could probably wrap his arm around it...

"Cough." He suddenly coughed lightly, held the tip of his nose with the hand that was supporting his cheek, and quickly turned his head away.

When Shengxia heard the sound and looked over, she only saw the boy's profile with his head lowered.

He was wearing a black T-shirt today, with no patterns, except for a small square rivet at the back of his neck. Because there was only one rivet, you would unconsciously focus your attention there at first glance.

He lowered his head, and the ridges on the back of his neck protruded and disappeared under his short hair, like the spine of a little dragon.

That skeleton, a little bit of wildness and strength that is just right.

She inexplicably recalled the time when he blocked the ball for her, his palm colliding with the high-speed basketball, that "bang" sound, which was painful to hear, and he didn't react at all.

And the strength to move her away, as if he could lift her up with one arm...

He coughed again without knowing why. The sound was so soft that it was barely audible, except for the rolling of his Adam's apple.

Shengxia came back to her senses and quietly looked away. When she lowered her head, she saw the pair of knee pads on his knees again.

It seems that this gift is quite practical. Even if it is finally discovered that the law was given by her, the merits and demerits should offset each other, Shengxia thought.

There are no classes for freshmen and sophomores on weekends, and the lunch care has returned to the time when it was only for seniors, with very few people.

Hou Junqi, who is always afraid of creating a tense atmosphere, is best at not knowing the current affairs.

As soon as he came up, he sat down next to Shengxia and called Zhang Shu, "This way!"

So Shengxia sat between the two tall men again, with her head lowered like a kidnapped good girl.

Hou Junqi ate voraciously, finishing his meal in no time and going for more rice. Zhang Shu, on the other hand, ate a normal amount and at a normal speed.

Shengxia ate little and ate quickly on purpose. After finishing eating, he said, "I'm done, I'm leaving first," and left without waiting for an answer.

Giving instructions was her courtesy, but not waiting for an answer was her attitude.

Quite a bad temper.

From "Beauty's Favor" to now, Shengxia has ignored them for two days.

Zhang Shu went to play basketball almost every afternoon these past two days. She wore the knee pads every day, and I didn't see any special performance from her.

OK, even though she is so timid, she was not scared at all. It seems that she has a strong sense of faith.

Is the light of righteousness really bright enough?

"Ah Shu, what are you looking at?" Hou Junqi waved his hand in front of Zhang Shu's eyes. "So pious?"

"Look at the Bodhisattva." said Zhang Shu.

"……?"

Zhang Shu: "It just appeared. Didn't you see it?"

Hou Junqi glanced outside the door, confused: "......?"

Zhang Shu: "You lack some luck."

Hou Junqi: “…”

Zhang Shu: "Watch less movies and do more good deeds."

Hou Junqi: “…”
