Chapter 44
Maybe it was because the final exams were not approaching yet, the physical education class was spared from the main subject teacher. After doing a few exercises as usual, the physical education teacher let the students move freely like herding sheep.
Tao Xi signed up for the TOEFL test in January and was just about to find a place to study with Lin Qinhe when suddenly a hand put its arm around her shoulder.
"Brother Xi!" Bi Chengfei said with a smile while holding the basketball. Just as he was about to say hello to Lin Qinhe, for some reason he put down Tao Xi's hand first and said to Lin Qinhe, "Lin Xueshen!"
As soon as Tao Xi saw the basketball in Bi Chengfei's hand, he knew what this man wanted him to do. He refused directly: "I don't want to play basketball."
Bi Chengfei pleaded with a bitter face: "Brother Xi, please help me again. The monitor has promised me. I have also arranged a match with the sports committee of Class 2. The enemy also has Xu Ziqi. Don't you want to beat them to a pulp?"
Naturally, he didn't dare to ask Lin Qinhe for help, and just kept instigating Tao Xi.
Tao Xi glanced back and saw Li Xiaoyuan waiting for Bi Chengfei to find team members not far away with a look of bodhisattva on his face, giving him a helpless smile.
He felt that this scene was familiar, and with a sudden thought, he looked at Lin Qinhe beside him and asked, "Can you play a game of basketball with me?"
Bi Chengfei immediately clasped his hands together and looked at Lin Qinhe with a praying look.
Lin Qinhe didn't hesitate and said, "Okay."
Bi Chengfei was overjoyed. He thanked the two of them profusely and ran away to find other team members.
Tao Xi and Lin Qinhe walked slowly towards the basketball court. As he walked, he kicked the plastic particles on the lawn of the playground and suddenly said to Lin Qinhe:
"In fact, it was me who instigated Bi Chengfei to look for you during the basketball game after school started."
At that time, he had just found out that Yang Duole was the person who was exchanged with him. He was unwilling to accept this and tried every means to attract Lin Qinhe's attention, and he used a very stupid method.
"I know." Lin Qinhe said. He looked at Tao Xi and asked with a hint of joking in his eyes,
"Otherwise, do you think I will agree to Bi Chengfei?"
Tao Xi was startled, his heart seemed to be poked by a finger. He stopped unconsciously, looked at Lin Qinhe in disbelief and asked:
"Isn't it because Bi Chengfei promised not to bother you in the future?"
Lin Qinhe seemed a little speechless, and said, "Will I believe that he will keep his promise and shut up from now on?"
Tao Xi shook his head. It is worse to believe in a ghost than to believe in Bi Chengfei's words.
However, he pursed his lips and complained softly: "But you seemed to hate me at that time."
He remembered very clearly that Lin Qinhe looked colder than Antarctica at that time, and he still felt a little scared when he thought about it now.
Lin Qinhe frowned slightly, as if reflecting on his attitude at that time, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, but I have never hated you."
Tao Xi looked at Lin Qinhe in astonishment. He didn't expect Lin Qinhe to say sorry. The slightest complaint disappeared immediately, and he reflected on himself: "It doesn't matter, I have problems too!"
Lin Qinhe asked: "What's the problem?"
"I..." Tao Xi tilted his head and reflected deeply. Suddenly he reacted and turned around to see Lin Qinhe with a smile on his face.
What a guy, he took all the blame just because someone said sorry.
With the addition of Lin Qinhe, Bi Chengfei quickly found a few more team members. In the end, there were a total of 9 members in Class 1 including the substitutes, and 10 in Class 2. In fact, everyone was an old acquaintance, but the members of Class 2 did not expect Lin Qinhe to come again, and many of them wanted to escape.
Xu Ziqi saw Lin Qinhe and Tao Xi walking over while talking, and turned to look at Yang Duole at the edge of the court. Sure enough, she saw that Yang Duole's face did not look good.
Tao Xi took off his coat, stretched his arms and legs, and said to Lin Qinhe, "Let's see which of us can get more points."
Lin Qinhe handed Tao Xi the wrist guard he had bought temporarily and reminded her, "Watch your wrist, don't get hurt."
Tao Xi took off the turquoise bracelet and put it in his pocket, put on the wristband, and then put one on Lin Qinhe.
The playground was already surrounded by girls who had rushed over after hearing the news, and it was already very lively before the game even started. Tao Xi found that when he was putting the wristband on Lin Qinhe, many girls were screaming, and he couldn't understand what they were shouting.
The game started quickly, and it was still an excellent cooperation between Tao Xi, Lin Qinhe and Li Xiaoyuan. Not long after the start, Tao Xi screened Lin Qinhe and got a three-pointer, pushing the atmosphere of the whole stadium to the first climax.
After scoring the goal, Tao Xi and Lin Qinhe clapped their hands while running. Lin Qinhe said to him, "I'll let you score next time."
Tao Xi responded: "Okay!"
The physical education committee member of Class 2 heard this and thought angrily, this is a competition, not a place for you to flirt with each other and give points!
The game was still a foregone conclusion. Class 2 was beaten so badly that they lost their temper and were crushed from the beginning to the end. The girls in Class 2 were too lazy to cheer for the boys in their own class and just followed the girls in Class 1 to look at the handsome guy.
In the end, Tao Xi scored three points less than Lin Qinhe. He supported his knees with both hands, panting and said to Lin Qinhe: "I must get more points than you next time."
Lin Qinhe also had a thin layer of sweat on his face. He threw the ball in his hand to Bi Chengfei and said to Tao Xi: "I'll take you to play for the school team next time."
Many members of Class 2 heard this and their faces turned blue and red.
Tao Xi couldn't help laughing, and he stood up and said, "Okay, that will definitely be more interesting than today."
Sure enough, seeing that the faces of the second squad members became even uglier, he took off his wristband without caring, took out the bracelet from his pocket and put it on his wrist.
Li Xiaoyuan looked at the girls who were holding bottles of mineral water but didn't dare to come forward, and felt sorry for them. He said to his classmates, "Wait for me. I'll go buy some bottles of water."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yang Duole running over with a few bottles of water. Li Xiaoyuan hurried over to help Yang Duole get the water and said with a smile: "Yang Leduo, come back to the first team quickly, you see the second team members are all staring at you."
"I'll be in after the final exam!" Yang Duole said with a raised corner of his mouth. He handed a bottle of mineral water to Lin Qinhe and called out in a flattering tone, "Brother Qinhe."
Lin Qinhe took the water given by Yang Duole and said "thank you".
Tao Xi noticed the slightly awkward atmosphere between Lin Qinhe and Yang Duole. He watched Yang Duole continue to hand the second bottle of water to him. He raised his right hand to take the mineral water, but found that Yang Duole did not let go.
Yang Duole stared at the red rope on Tao Xi's wrist, his gaze only paused for a second, and then quickly let go.
Tao Xi said "thank you" as usual.
The class was over soon after the basketball game. Tao Xi followed Lin Qinhe to the cafeteria to eat. On the way, Tao Xi asked Lin Qinhe: "By the way, does anyone else know about the bracelet you gave me?"
Lin Qinhe thought for a while and replied: "Only Qiao Yitang knows, what's wrong?"
He had asked Qiao Yitong, who knew more about jewelry, but no one else would know.
"Nothing, just asking casually." Tao Xi said.
Lin Qinhe glanced at Tao Xi and didn't ask any more questions.
Tao Xi looked at the red rope on his wrist, and his mind flashed through the expression on Yang Duole's face when he saw the bracelet just now. Although it only appeared for a moment, he also caught the strong hatred in Yang Duole's eyes at that time.
Also, when I met Yang Duole during this period, he looked a little unnatural.
He has always been very sensitive to the emotions others show towards him.
Yang Duole's hatred for him could only come from Lin Qinhe, but if it was just because his good friend had a good relationship with others, he should never look at him like that.
But Yang Duole didn’t know that this bracelet was given by Lin Qinhe, so where did the hatred come from after he saw the bracelet?
What right does he have to hate himself?
Tao Xi frowned, thinking of the red peace knot in Yang Duole's hand that should have belonged to him.
During the lunch break at noon, Lin Qinhe went to the competition class for training as usual. After Lin Qinhe left, Tao Xi got up and walked towards the guard room at the school gate. There was a question that had been weighing on his mind and had not been answered.
"Uncle, has my dad come here recently?" Tao Xi asked the security guard in the guard room who was familiar with him.
The security guard was impressed by the student's father and even felt annoyed when he was mentioned. He said in a bad tone, "Didn't I tell you last time? Tell your father to stop coming to our school. A few nights after school, he squatted at the school gate and I almost arrested him as a thief."
"What is he doing squatting at the door?" Tao Xi asked.
"I'm also surprised. He just squatted for a while and then left. If you don't know, you would think he was scouting the place." The security guard frowned.
Tao Xi was silent for a while, then said, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you. I will definitely tell him not to come if I have a chance."
He turned and left the guard room.
The only reason Tao Jian came to him was probably for money.
But he came several times but no one came to see him. Who could he look for?

I'm late, there's still one chapter left
