Chapter 21
"What happened before doesn't count. Now I want to ask, can I pursue you?"
Tao Luanxi felt like her heart was gently bumped. She subconsciously wanted to answer no, but when the words came to her lips, Tao Luanxi looked up at Qiu Yi with distrust: "If I say no, you won't pursue me?"
Qiu Yi smiled even more: "My Xixi is really smart."
Tao Luanxi snorted softly: "I knew who you were."
He knew that this problem was a dead end. Qiu Yi's personality was such that no one could persuade him unless he gave up. Although Tao Luanxi had given up the idea of keeping a distance from him, he was not so absurd as to want to have anything happen with Qiu Yi. He sighed silently in his heart and decided to take it one step at a time.
"A fight?"
"kindness."
Tao Luanxi looked at Qiu Yi's right hand in plaster and the miserable medical tape on his forehead. After considering the words for a while, he said reluctantly: "Lost?"
Qiu Yi laughed and pinched Tao Luanxi's face gently: "Just because I got hurt a little bit, I lost? At least I can still walk. Those guys on the other side are probably still lying on the hospital bed and groaning!"
"Then why don't you come to school?"
This question hit the nail on the head. Qiu Yi raised his eyebrows and stared at Tao Luanxi with an ambiguous look: "I don't want to go. I'm in a bad mood."
As for the reason why he was in a bad mood, Tao Luanxi knew it even without being told. He had just gone through so much trouble to explain everything just because of this matter.
Tao Luanxi didn't say anything more and changed the question: "Then didn't you come in the previous few days?"
"Something happened at home," Qiu Yi suddenly remembered the promise he had just made to Tao Luanxi, and patiently explained, "My grandfather and I went abroad for a meeting, so I was delayed for a few days."
"Oh," Tao Luanxi nodded. He didn't want to ask too much about other people's private affairs, so he lowered his head and looked at the blue and white striped bed sheets.
"Worry?"
"... a little bit," Tao Luanxi raised a finger, "but it's just a classmate, nothing else, don't think too much!"
Qiu Yi smiled and said, "I know." Then he reached out and grabbed Tao Luanxi's raised finger and said, "If I don't come in the future, I will tell you the first time, okay?"
Tao Luanxi didn't say anything, and Qiu Yiquan took it as his tacit agreement. The two continued to talk about things in school. The atmosphere was just right when there was a knock on the door.
When Lin Fan came in, Qiu Yi was still holding Tao Luanxi's finger. When Tao Luanxi heard the sound of the door opening, she immediately pulled her hand back, but Lin Fan had already opened the door and saw the whole scene.
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows but said nothing. Qiu Yi sighed softly with some disappointment, leaned on the bed and turned his head to glance at Lin Fan coldly: "You haven't left yet? Is Grandpa's company so idle now?"
Lin Fan responded rudely: "If you hadn't begged me to be hospitalized, who would have come to take care of you?"
Lin Fan crossed his arms and said, "Have you seen the project plan? The chairman asked me to talk to you when I'm free."
Qiu Yi shook his head nonchalantly: "It's lost. It might have been in the incinerator at the garbage dump now."
Lin Fan's face turned black, and when he was about to scold him, Tao Luanxi spoke up: "Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You guys can chat!"
While others were chatting about their own affairs, Tao Luanxi felt uncomfortable just standing here.
Qiu Yi was unwilling to do so. This was a good time to improve their relationship. How could he bear to let Tao Luanxi go like this? Qiu Yi wanted to pull her away, but Lin Fan's X-ray eyes stared at Qiu Yi. Qiu Yi didn't dare to say anything. He just said to Tao Luanxi, "I'll go back to school in two days."
Tao Luanxi nodded: "Have a good rest."
The door of the ward was closed, and Qiu Yi glared at Lin Fan: "Does this bother you?"
Lin Fan snorted coldly and ignored him, turning back to look at the closed ward door: "What's the name of your classmate?"
A few days later, Qiu Yi came to school with his injured arm as he said. Shen Tan saw that his face was gloomy for a long time, so he turned around and called him to the office to chat privately for half an hour.
Tao Luanxi had no idea what the conversation was about. He only knew that when Qiu Yi came back, he looked normal and didn't look like he was being scolded.
A few days later, the person in Class D who contacted Li Qin and stole Tao Luanxi's notes was found out, given a serious warning, and almost expelled from school. Tao Luanxi felt that if it was just stealing notes, it wouldn't make such a big fuss. When he asked Qiu Yi about it, the other party was vague and said he didn't know. Tao Luanxi didn't believe it. He felt that Qiu Yi must know something about this matter.
Qiu Yi laughed: "Do you really think that I, as a senior administrator of the school, have the right to punish students? He should bear the consequences of his own mistakes, and cannot blame others."
Tao Luanxi frowned and said nothing, obviously still not believing it.
A gust of cool wind blew in from the open window of the classroom, and the textbooks spread out on the table were blown to the ground with a rustling sound. They were about to fall. Tao Luanxi quickly grabbed Qiu Yi's textbooks, raised her head and gave him a reproachful look: "You didn't even help yourself?"
Qiu Yi pointed at his arm and smiled at Tao Luanxi: "My hand is broken, I can't help you."
Qiu Yi's right hand was broken and he couldn't even hold a pen, so he openly rubbed Tao Luanxi's textbook notes. During class, the two of them were close together and inevitably had some contact. Every time Tao Luanxi wrote something, she had to lean forward to get in the middle, and Qiu Yi could just lean forward slightly to hold most of Tao Luanxi's body in his arms, bubbling with happiness every day.
Tao Luanxi always pays attention in class, but this does not prevent him from feeling the hot gazes of his deskmate who are always on him.
Finally, Tao Luanxi couldn't bear it anymore, and when the teacher turned around to write something on the blackboard, he reached out and pushed Qiu Yi's face.
"Look at the teacher! Don't look at me!"
Qiu Yi didn't say anything. He stared at the English teacher with his eyelids drooping for a long time, and finally gave up.
How can the teacher be as pretty as Xixi?
After school in the afternoon, they still went to Mi Xiangxiang's "A Few Cups" for lunch. Qiu Yi didn't want to go at first, but after receiving repeated calls urging him, he finally gritted his teeth and went with Tao Luanxi.
Qiu Yi stood at the door of Mi Xiangxiang's store, and as expected, he was scolded from head to toe for his injured arm.
After serving the dishes, Mi Xiangxiang put her hands on her waist and scolded him loudly: "How many times have I told you not to fight? Even if I had a parrot, I would know how to say it now. How come you, a living person, don't listen?"
Qiu Yi pretended not to hear anything, staring at Tao Luanxi and sighing in a fake manner: "How can I eat with my injured hand?"
Tao Luanxi paused and silently glanced at Mi Xiangxiang.
The other person's face turned dark, but Qiu Yisi didn't notice it at all. She continued to push forward, "Xixi, I want to eat the soy sauce spareribs in front of you."
Mi Xiangxiang turned around and went downstairs. Tao Luanxi scolded her in a low voice, "Why are you so busy?" As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up a piece of pork ribs and prepared to put it in Qiu Yi's bowl.
Qiu Yi shamelessly opened his mouth and said "Ah", then said to Tao Luanxi with his mouth open: "How convenient is it to just put it here?"
Before Tao Luanxi could say anything, there was another sound of footsteps coming from the stairs. Mi Xiangxiang took a spoon and stuffed it into Qiu Yi's hand with great momentum, cursing: "You are so proud of yourself even though your bones are broken! What would you have done if you knew it was inconvenient? Do you think your brain is disabled as well if your hands are broken?"
Tao Luanxi put the spareribs into Qiu Yi's bowl. Qiu Yi looked at Mi Xiangxiang with dissatisfaction while holding the spoon: "Why are you so upset?"
Mi Xiangxiang sneered: "I'm annoying? I even made milk for you and changed your diapers! Why didn't you think I was annoying when you wet the bed and came to me crying?"
Tao Luanxi couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh. Qiu Yi stopped talking, scooped up the piece of ribs with a spoon, and bit the crispy bones with a sullen look on his face.
Qiu Yi relied on his injured arm to stick to Tao Luanxi every day, pouring water with a pen or something, and always saying Tao Luanxi this and Tao Luanxi that. Shen Tan couldn't stand it anymore, so he hinted at the class meeting: "Some people should not act like a big shot just because they are disabled. People don't have time to deal with you!"
Qiu Yi pretended not to know that he was being talked about. Tao Luanxi already knew what kind of person Qiu Yi was, and didn't expect him to be restrained because of this. Although Qiu Yi's purpose of sticking to him all day long was obvious, Tao Luanxi was not unaware of it, but since he had established the image of a helpful academic master to outsiders, and he and Qiu Yi were deskmates, it made no sense for him not to help with these small matters. Besides, although this guy stuck to him, he surprisingly didn't say or do anything that crossed the line.
Whenever he thought of this, Tao Luanxi would always unconsciously recall the kiss in the hospital. He was so emotional at the time that he only paid attention to Qiu Yi's next words and completely forgot about this. When he recalled it afterwards, he was surprised that his attention had been cleverly diverted. This was the point!
Tao Luanxi held his head and recalled, what would he have done if Qiu Yi had not said the following words?
Although what the two boys did was indeed excessive, when Tao Luanxi recalled it carefully, he realized that when he realized that Qiu Yi had kissed him, he did not feel furious and wanted to jump up and beat the guy to death. In short, he didn't hate him!
Tao Luanxi was confused again. Although he was very sure that he was not a homosexual and never thought that it was wrong to be liked by boys, he did not feel disgusted when a boy kissed him. He even did not feel disgusted or annoyed when Qiu Yi wanted to stick with Tao Luanxi every day. Is this normal?
Tao Luanxi couldn't figure it out. This problem was harder than a math problem. He had a headache for several days and tossed and turned over the problem at night, but still couldn't come to a conclusion.
The consequence of thinking about things at night is that I am so sleepy that I can hardly open my eyes during classes during the day. The teacher's voice seems to have a hypnotic buff, and each word pulls Tao Luanxi's voice into my dreams.
The lullaby finally stopped for a while, and the teacher turned around to write on the blackboard. Tao Luanxi began to lose consciousness and closed his eyes, thinking, "I'll close my eyes for a while." As soon as he closed his eyes, all the muscles in his body relaxed as if they were disconnected from the electricity.
Tao Luanxi's head hit a piece of soft cloth. With the little consciousness left to know that this was not a desk, she forced herself to open her eyes, only to meet a pair of thoughtful eyes.
Tao Luanxi was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he and Qiu Yi were sharing textbooks at the moment, and the other person knew exactly what he did secretly.
Qiu Yi looked at him sideways, his expression calm: "Stay up late again?"
Tao Luanxi swallowed and said nothing. It was too easy for them to be discovered chatting in this position. Besides, Tao Luanxi really didn't want to answer. It was all because of you!
Tao Luanxi didn't say anything, and Qiu Yi didn't insist. After all, the answer was written on his face. The dark spots on his face had never faded, and had even worsened in the past two days.
Qiu Yi turned his head to look at the blackboard, and his left hand, which was originally on the table, moved to the middle. It looked like he was blatantly occupying the public space in the middle of the table, but in fact he was just expanding the area of his hand rest.
Tao Luanxi felt awkward and blushed. She had been entangled for a long time because of the other person's kiss, but in the end she still had to accept the favor of others. She always wanted to be tough, but her physical fatigue took over first. Every time she felt too sleepy, she had to ask the other person to use his hand as a pillow to give her a few minutes of rest.
Almost two weeks had passed since the monthly exam. During one of his classes, Shen Tan suddenly remembered the seat change. Halfway through his lecture, he suddenly woke up from a dream and looked up at a group of bewildered students: "Should we change seats?"
Tao Luanxi slept through half of the last English class. She managed to reply halfway through the lesson, but when she heard Shen Tan's words, she suddenly remembered a problem that she had been ignoring.
Changing seats again! ?
This time Tao Luanxi was first and Qiu Yi was second. When they were free to choose their seats, he was the first one to choose, followed closely by Qiu Yi.
This means that once Tao Luanxi has chosen a seat, Qiu Yi can sit next to him openly.
Depend on!
Tao Luanxi held on to the hem of his clothes tightly. For the first time, he deeply realized that being number one was not a good thing!
It’s all Qiu Yi’s fault!
In the last class in the afternoon, all the students in Class A stood up in a mighty crowd and came in one by one to choose their seats. Tao Luanxi came in first and still chose the same seat as before.
Qiu Yi was the second one, and his expression naturally returned to his original position.
Wei Yuan, who was fifth, sat down in front of Tao Luanxi with a wronged look on his face. He turned his head and looked at Tao Luanxi with despair: "When can I sit at the same table with you again?"
Tao Luanxi smiled bitterly and said nothing. He wanted to know the answer too!
Qiu Yi heard these words completely, and sneered while spinning his pen. His sneer was directed at Wei Yuan, and the meaning was easy to understand - don't even think about it!
Wei Yuan turned back with regret. Tao Luanxi had no expression on her face. She lowered her head to organize the materials she would take to the study room in the evening. She recited "Pipa Xing" silently with a melancholy heart.
"Isn't it okay to use my hand as a pillow?" His voice was low and a little aggrieved.
Tao Luanxi paused, a little dazed. In front of others, he had an overbearing attitude of "I am the greatest in the world", but when it came to him, he was cautious like a child asking for candy.
Tao Luanxi pursed his lips, holding back the urge to raise his lips. He didn't look at Qiu Yi's eyes, and slowly packed his things. When he had finished sorting out the things and had almost hung up on Qiu Yi, Tao Luanxi said nonchalantly, "Not bad."
After saying that, Tao Luanxi opened today's notes and started reading. After reading a few lines, he couldn't help but glance sideways at his deskmate. The other person was looking down at the test paper, with a smile on his face, as if he was watching the "Weibo Joke Awards".
Tao Luanxi retracted her gaze. Well, this expression was pretty much what she expected. Inadvertently, the notes in her hand also turned into a "Weibo jokes award".
It is said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. In the first thirty days, Qiu Yi was unwilling to go to the hospital to remove the plaster because Tao Luanxi helped him with this and that. Later, Shen Tan took a class leave, grabbed Qiu Yi's neck and took him to the hospital to remove the plaster.
Qiu Yi glared at Shen Tan with a dark face for several days as if he were the murderer of his father. Finally, he had no choice but to accept the reality. Without the shield of plaster, he had to do everything by himself. In an instant, he changed from a baby who had to trouble Tao Luanxi to get books to a young man who could run, jump and have fun.
By the time Tao Luanxi reacted, Qiu Yi had already started playing basketball for several days in a row.
Tao Luanxi didn't know about this at first. As things were piling up everywhere near the end of the week, Tao Luanxi went to the Youth League branch as soon as school was over for several days in a row. He even had his meals there and didn't pay attention to what Qiu Yi did afterwards.
Passing by the gymnasium by chance one day, Tao Luanxi saw from a distance that the tallest boy in a group of boys was Qiu Yi. He ran straight past with a look of shock on his face, not caring how the boys around him looked at him.
"Is your hand okay?"
Qiu Yi was also a little surprised to see Tao Luanxi here. After hearing Tao Luanxi's question, he smiled and shook his arm at him: "It's been two months, it's healed a long time ago."
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and you're only forty days away!" Tao Luanxi retorted to him unhappily. Over there, Mi Xiangxiang was still making bone soup over here every day for fear that Qiu Yi's arms wouldn't grow well, and here this guy was already playing basketball without fear of death.
Qiu Yi shrugged helplessly: "The basketball game is coming up soon. Our school is short of people. There is nothing we can do. The sports department has begged me several times, but I can't refuse."
Tao Luanxi's face turned cold: "If you really don't want to go, who can force you?"
Qiu Yi's smile grew bigger and bigger: "You don't want me to go? If you nod, I'll go and push it right away."
Tao Luanxi snorted: "It's up to you to decide your own affairs!"
"Will you come and see it?"
"What?"
"Basketball game."
"There's a lot going on lately, I may not have time—"
"Come on!" Qiu Yi put his hands on his waist, looked at Tao Luanxi with a smile: "If you come, I will definitely win."
What does it have to do with me if you win? The trophy is not for me!
Tao Luanxi was subconsciously feeling jealous. He also wanted to participate in such competitions, but his physical fitness was no match for those muscular big guys. He could only look at their trophies every time, feeling jealous and wishing he could just ignore it. How could he possibly rush to watch their games?
But the expectation in Qiu Yi's eyes was so obvious that Tao Luanxi couldn't open his mouth to refuse him directly. After hesitating for a while, he reluctantly said, "If I have time, I'll go."
Qiu Yi didn't make things difficult for him. While Tao Luanxi was distracted, he reached out and touched his head: "I'll wait for you!"
Tao Luanxi left and Qiu Yi entered the indoor court. The training had not started yet and several boys sat together to discuss the affairs of the girls in No. 1 Middle School.
Qiu Yi did not participate, but took a bottle of water and drank it by himself.
Several of them were discussing how many girls came back to watch and how he tried to act cool in front of his little fans during the competition. They were talking excitedly and even dragged Qiu Yi into the discussion.
"There will definitely be a lot of girls coming for our brother Qiu. If we win the competition, won't those girls go crazy?"
"Brother Qiu, if a girl takes the initiative to kiss you, will you accept it or not?"
The boys laughed in silence. Qiu Yi tightened the bottle cap and said calmly, "I don't accept it. I'm not interested."
Several people complained that Qiu Yi was too full to know when he was hungry, but Qiu Yi didn't respond. Then he heard them talking about a few female cadres from the Youth League branch who were pretty. On the Saturday of the competition, the Youth League branch also had an event at school, so they invited a few girls to come and take a look.
"The Youth League branch is also in school on Saturday?"
"Yeah, my girlfriend said so." The boy who answered the phone shook his head: "She said she would come over."
Qiu Yi smiled, said nothing more, and threw the ball into the basket from a distance.
The ball went in.
Not bad.
Tao Luanxi didn't ask Qiu Yi about the time of the competition. He did it on purpose. If he didn't know the time and place, he couldn't go. It was not his fault. But Tao Luanxi didn't want to know. The girls in the Youth League branch were discussing it enthusiastically every day. He had no choice but to know.
As luck would have it, he had to come to school to organize an activity as a member of the Youth League branch on Saturday, so there was no reason for him not to stop by and watch the competition.
Tao Luanxi sighed and even began to wonder whether he should pry open his silly girl's mouth and leave a tooth mark on it when he got home that night so that he could ask for leave from the Youth League branch.
Of course this is just a thought.
"Tao Luanxi, our school's basketball game is this Saturday, in the gymnasium, do you know?" In the Youth League branch activity room, a girl came over and talked to Tao Luanxi with a smile.
Tao Luanxi smiled and nodded: "I know." I couldn't know more!
"I told the teacher that we should finish early and go cheer for them. We have a good relationship with the sports department, so we can just treat it as a visit from different organizations."
Tao Luanxi knew this girl, her name was Tong Su, and she was in a relationship with a boy from the sports department's basketball team. Tao Luanxi could see that this proposal was clearly made to satisfy her own selfish desires under the guise of official business!
But even if he knew, so what! The other party's argument was well-founded, and he had informed the teacher in advance, so Tao Luanxi couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while.
Tao Luanxi smiled and said, "Okay, you guys can make the arrangements."
Tong Su was very happy. She took out her cell phone and started typing, probably to inform her boyfriend of the victory.
Tao Luanxi glanced at him coldly and snorted in her heart, "What's so great about having a boyfriend?"
The work of the Youth League branch ended very early on Saturday. Everyone was very excited and wanted to finish it as soon as possible and go to watch the game. The teacher also saw that their minds were not here, so he waved his hand and said, "Go and cheer for them!"
After all, they are young people, and the vitality and childishness in their bones are still very clear. A group of people cheered and pulled each other to the gymnasium. A girl shouted: "Go cheer for my male god!"
Someone next to him responded: "Who is your idol?"
"Of course it's Qiu Yi! He's handsome and has good grades! He's the school idol and face of our No. 1 Middle School!"
"Then why don't you confess?"
"How dare I?" The girl sighed, "I don't know what kind of girl will be liked by Qiu Yi in the future. I'm so happy! If I were her, I would brag about it to the whole world eight hundred times a day!"
Tao Luanxi's heart moved. In the past, he hated to hear others mention how good Qiu Yi was in front of him. Gu Xiaoxiao [Tao's cousin] had mentioned it several times, and was mocked by Tao Luanxi and wanted to fight Tao Luanxi to the death.
Qiu Yi is an excellent person. Although Tao Luanxi is reluctant to admit it, it is a fact. But he has never thought about what it feels like to be liked by an excellent person.
Is it a blessing to be liked by Qiu Yi? Is it something worth showing off?
While thinking this, Tao Luanxi and his group had already arrived at the stadium. There were many more people than Tao Luanxi had imagined. The stands around the basketball court were already full of people, some from the school and some from other schools. As soon as Tao Luanxi entered the door, he saw banners on both sides of the stadium, which were cheering slogans for No. 1 Middle School and C University Affiliated Middle School. Tao Luanxi looked around and saw that Qiu Yi had the most signs.
As soon as Tong Su came in, she went straight to her boyfriend's side. The Sports Department had reserved a seat for the Youth League branch, in the first row on the left, closest to the stadium.
Tao Luanxi followed the large group inside to find a seat, and followed Tong Su's gaze to look at the No. 1 Middle School basketball team. Apart from Tong Su and her partner, several boys were talking to girls across the railings of the stands, laughing as they talked and it was very lively.
The remaining few people gathered together to organize their things. Qiu Yi stood at the outside. He probably hadn't seen Tao Luanxi coming yet, so he took a sip of water and stared out the door with empty eyes. Next to him was a young couple chatting and laughing.
It looks so pitiful.
Tao Luanxi shook his head. Qiu Yi was pitiful as hell! There were several girls holding their mobile phones above his head, shouting Qiu Yi's name at the top of their lungs. However, Qiu Yi was blind and deaf at this time. He looked at the door with empty eyes. Even if he chatted with his teammates behind him from time to time, he couldn't help but glance at the door.
The girl behind me kept shouting, "So handsome."
Tao Luanxi just felt that Qiu Yi's expression looked like he had lost his mind.
It was too noisy in the venue to hear any sound. Tao Luanxi only saw Tong Su and her boyfriend being affectionate for a while before turning to look in the direction of Qiu Yi. After calling out to her several times, Qiu Yi finally reacted. He turned around and saw Tong Su, his eyes lit up, and then he looked in the direction of Tong Su towards the audience, and his eyes instantly met Tao Luanxi's.
Tao Luanxi tightened her grip on the railing, feeling nervous as if she had been caught peeping. Then, Qiu Yi smiled, her eyes full of tenderness.
Tao Luanxi's heart skipped a beat. It was so real that she couldn't afford to ignore it.
The girl behind was already going crazy, raising her phone and taking photos crazily.
Tao Luanxi watched Qiu Yi running towards her with a smile. The face of the boy who was said to be the school hunk and the face of No. 1 Middle School slowly enlarged in front of her eyes. Tao Luanxi stared at that face for a long time, thinking to herself that this guy seemed to really deserve this title.
Qiu Yi was steaming and his tone was full of excitement: "Come over?"
Tao Luanxi smiled secretly in his heart, this guy can also talk nonsense.
Tao Luanxi did not laugh at him mercifully, after all, today was their home game.
"arrive."
Qiu Yi still smiled and reached out to touch Tao Luanxi, but gave up when he thought of the crowd around him. His hand, which was suspended in the air, finally rested on the railing of the stands. Because of the height difference of the stands, it was rare for Tao Luanxi to look Qiu Yi in the eye.
Qiu Yi placed his hands on the railing, leaned over and whispered, "Just look at me, there's no need to look at others."
Tao Luanxi raised her eyebrows: "Are you good-looking?"
Qiu Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his smile was full of ruffian spirit: "You will know after you see it."
Qiu Yi did what he said and played very hard in the first half. Tao Luanxi didn't know much about basketball, but just by looking at Qiu Yi's ease on the court, he knew that Qiu Yi was a very good basketball player. Moreover, the guy's show-off was so obvious in some places that even Tao Luanxi, a layman, could see through it.
Physical collisions are inevitable in basketball, but it is also because of this violent collision that the audience has a more impactful visual pleasure. The rhythmic rise and fall of the hand muscles when dribbling, the tense calf muscles during defense, and the muscle tremors and sweat splashing caused by the collision between the two sides.
It's very exciting just watching it.
The girls behind Tao Luanxi kept screaming for a long time. Their voices were still high, but Tao Luanxi was almost deaf.
In the first half, No. 1 Middle School had a clear advantage. Every time a goal was scored, Qiu Yi would subconsciously look towards Tao Luanxi and occasionally exchange a smile with Tao Luanxi.
The smile was too obvious in its desire for praise. Tao Luanxi smiled back. What could he do? It was their home ground, so he could only get used to it.
The tacit little action between the two people brought a different kind of excitement. Tao Luanxi heard the girl behind screaming: "He's looking over here, he's looking over here!!!"
Tao Luanxi supported his arms and smiled, feeling proud. Are they looking at you? They are looking at me!!!
At the end of the first half, the coach called the excited teenagers to his side and said a few words. He also checked Qiu Yi's hand carefully, and looked up to ask Qiu Yi a few questions. Tao Luanxi was too far away to hear what they were saying. He only saw Qiu Yi shaking his head, replying a few words, and then dispersed to rest.
The second half started soon and Qiu Yi insisted on playing. At the beginning of the game, he looked around at Tao Luanxi.
"How's your hand?" Tao Luanxi seized the moment and asked hurriedly.
"Not bad." Qiu Yi shook his head: "It won't hinder me from winning the game."
Tao Luanxi frowned slightly: "Don't show off."
Qiu Yi hissed and approached Tao Luanxi, almost touching his forehead: "How can this be called showing off? I just love to move forward courageously."
This sentence was said in a low voice, probably only Tao Luanxi heard it, and the girls behind her kept talking in her ears, with envy in their tone, and Tao Luanxi felt a secret pride in her heart. Tao Luanxi looked into Qiu Yi's eyes, very good, it was her that was reflected in them!
In the second half, the opponents, who had been frustrated for so long, this time put all their strength into targeting Qiu Yi. Three people blocked Qiu Yi's movements and the physical collisions escalated. The opponents probably saw that Qiu Yi was intentionally protecting his right hand, so each time they attacked his right hand. The solid collisions made Tao Luanxi feel distressed.
Even though he was closely marked by the opponent, Qiu Yi still scored three goals, but the result was a huge consumption of physical strength.
In the last ten minutes, the coach called a timeout and asked sternly for a substitution, but Qiu Yi disagreed.
Tao Luanxi clenched her hands, why is this guy so stubborn?
The coach probably thought the same as Tao Luanxi, and started scolding him with spit flying everywhere. Tao Luanxi couldn't hear what he was saying, but judging from his expression, Qiu Yi didn't listen.
This guy is really!
Tao Luanxi stared at Qiu Yi's face anxiously, hoping desperately that he would turn around and look at her, or at least let her persuade him.
Qiu Yi really looked at him, his chest heaving violently, sweat hanging from his temples, but his eyes were clear and he smiled faintly at Tao Luanxi.
This smile made Tao Luanxi unable to say what he had prepared.
He really wants to go!
Tao Luanxi pursed her lips and mouthed "I'm watching you!"
This sentence was a bit complicated, and Tao Luanxi didn't expect Qiu Yi to understand it. In the end, Qiu Yi blinked, nodded, and replied to Tao Luanxi: "Okay!"
The game continued. Qiu Yi dribbled the ball with his right hand, exposing his weaknesses generously, with an attitude of fighting to the death. This momentum successfully shocked his opponent. In the last ten seconds, Qiu Yi stood outside the three-point line, raised his right hand high above his head and threw the basketball.
After a parabola, the basketball went through the basket steadily and fell to the ground.
Three points!
With a few seconds left, the game was no longer suspenseful.
Amid the cheers, several teenagers wearing red basketball uniforms rushed forward and surrounded Qiu Yi, shouting and roaring. The people around Tao Luanxi screamed and cheered crazily, and the sound echoed throughout the venue.
Tao Luanxi's breathing became a little rapid. This match originally had nothing to do with him, but at the moment of victory he felt as if he was involved in it.
Tao Luanxi saw many girls rushing forward and handing the flowers they had prepared in advance to the team members, with the most given to Qiu Yi, but Qiu Yi confiscated all.
Amid the disappointed expressions of the girls, Tao Luanxi actually read Qiu Yi's lip movements - "I only accept flowers from one person."
Unfortunately, Tao Luanxi didn't prepare any flowers.
After the awards ceremony, Qiu Yi walked through a group of disappointed girls and came to the stands. The excitement on his face had almost faded, and his tone was calm and familiar, as if he was talking to an old friend: "Would you like to go together?"
Tao Luanxi nodded, and just as she was about to speak, Tong Su's boyfriend grabbed Qiu Yi's neck and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight. Anyone from the basketball team or the Youth League branch, don't even think about running away!"
Qiu Yi just looked at Tao Luanxi: "Are you going?"
This basically means "If you don't go, I won't go either."
A group of boys' eyes were all on Tao Luanxi. Tao Luanxi's scalp tingled. She wanted to refuse but felt embarrassed.
"Then go ahead!"
Tong Su went somewhere holding her boyfriend's hand. Qiu Yi handed the bag in his hand to Tao Luanxi: "Here!"
