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 hand injured?"
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.
催眠曲好不容易斷了一小會兒，老師轉過身去寫板書，陶栾希開始意識不清，閉着眼睛心裏想着，我就閉一會眼。結果眼睛一閉上，渾身的肌肉就要斷電了一樣立刻放松下來。
陶栾希腦袋磕在一團軟軟的布料上，僅存的一點意識知道這不是課桌，就強打着精神張開眼睛，結果撞上了一隊若有所思的眸子。
陶栾希一愣，才想起來這會兒和裘弈共用課本，他偷摸做點什麽對方都一清二楚。
裘弈側頭看着他，臉色沒什麽波瀾：“又熬夜了？”
陶栾希咽了咽口水沒說話，他們這個位置聊天太容易被發現，再說陶栾希也着實不想回答，還不是因為你！
陶栾希不說話，裘弈也沒堅持，畢竟答案就寫在臉上了，眼下的烏青一直都沒褪過，這兩天還有加重的趨勢。
裘弈轉頭看着黑板，原本放在桌子上的左手往中間挪了挪，看上去像是大喇喇的霸占了桌子中間的公共地盤，實則是擴大了手枕面積。
陶栾希又些別扭，有些臉紅，明明因為對方的一個吻糾結半天，結果還是要受別人的恩惠，意志上總想着硬氣一些，但是肉/體的困乏先敗下陣來，每次困得受不了，還是要拜托對方的手枕給自己幾分鐘的休息時間。
月考已經過去快兩周，沈譚一次上課的時候才猛然想起調座位的事情，講題講到一半如同夢中驚醒一樣，擡頭看着一班一臉茫然的學生：“咱們是不是該換座位了？”
陶栾希上節英語課睡了半節過去，這會意識勉勉強強回複了一半，聽到沈譚的這句話，才猛然想起一直被自己忽略的一個問題。
又要換座位！？
這次陶栾希是第一，裘弈第二，自由選座的時候，他第一個選，緊跟着就是裘弈。
這就意味着，陶栾希一旦選定了位置，裘弈這厮還能大喇喇的坐他身邊。
靠！
陶栾希抓緊衣擺，他第一次深深體會到當第一也不是什麽好事！
都怪裘弈！
下午最後一節課，A班又是浩浩蕩蕩的全體站了出去，再一個一個進來選座位，陶栾希第一個進來，還是選了之前的位置。
裘弈第二個，表情自然也坐回了原來的位置。
魏元第五，委屈巴巴的坐到了陶栾希的前面，扭過頭一臉絕望的看着陶栾希：“我什麽時候才能再和你同桌啊？”
陶栾希苦笑了一下沒說話，他自己也想知道啊！
那邊裘弈把這句話聽了個完全，一邊轉筆一邊冷笑了一聲，笑是專門笑給魏元聽的，意思也很好懂——你別想了！
魏元遺憾的轉了回去，陶栾希臉上沒什麽表情，低頭整理晚上要帶去自習室的資料，心裏一片惆悵的默背着琵琶行。
“手還給你當枕頭，不好嗎？”聲音很小，有點委屈。
陶栾希手上一頓，有些恍惚，面對別人明明一副“天上地下，老子最大”的王霸氣息，到了他這兒就小心翼翼的像是一個讨要糖果的小孩兒。
陶栾希抿了抿嘴唇，把揚起嘴唇的沖動憋了回去，他沒去看裘弈的眼神，慢條斯理的收拾東西，等東西整理完，把對方也吊得差不多的時候，陶栾希漫不經心開口道：“還不錯。”
說完，陶栾希打開今天的筆記開始看，看了幾行字，還是沒忍住側目看了一眼同桌，對方正低頭看着卷子，眉眼彎彎笑得開心，仿佛看着“微博段子大賞”。
陶栾希收回視線，恩，這表情和自己預料的差不多。一個不小心，自己手裏的筆記也變成了“微博段子大賞”。
都說傷筋動骨一百天，前三十天裘弈為了來着陶栾希幫他辦這辦那，死活都不願意去醫院拆石膏，後來還是沈譚請了一節課的假，硬掐着裘弈的脖子把他帶去醫院拆了石膏。
裘弈黑着臉把沈譚當成殺父仇人瞪了幾天，最後無奈接受了現實，沒了石膏這個擋箭牌，凡事只好親力親為，一瞬間從拿書都要勞煩陶栾希動手的奶孩子變成了能跑能跳能撒歡的青年。
陶栾希反應過來的時候，裘弈已經開始連着打了幾天的籃球了。
陶栾希原本不知道這件事，臨近期末各個地方的事情都成堆增長，陶栾希連着好幾天一放學就往團支部跑，吃飯都是在那邊解決，也沒有留意裘弈之後去幹了什麽。
偶然一次路過體育館，陶栾希遠遠的看見一群男生裏最高的就是裘弈，一臉震驚也沒管着周圍那些男生怎麽看他，徑直跑了過去。
“你手好了？”
裘弈也有點驚訝能在這裏看見陶栾希，聽見陶栾希的問題，遂笑了笑沖他晃了晃手臂：“兩個月了，早好了。”
“傷筋動骨一百天，你這還差四十天呢！”陶栾希沒好氣的怼他，那頭米湘湘還天天煲骨頭湯過來生怕裘弈手臂長不好，這邊這位已經不怕死的開始打籃球了。
裘弈無奈聳聳肩：“馬上籃球賽了，我們學校這邊缺人沒辦法，體育部那邊求了我好幾次，實在推不了。”
陶栾希冷下臉：“你真不想去還有誰能強迫的了你？”
裘弈笑容漸漸放大：“你不希望我去？你要點點頭，我立刻去推了。”
陶栾希哼了一聲：“你的事兒你自己決定！”
“那你來看嗎？”
“什麽？”
“籃球比賽。”
“最近事情多，我不一定有——”
“來吧！”裘弈雙手叉腰，眉眼含笑定定的看着陶栾希：“你來了，我就一定能贏。”
你贏了管我什麽事，獎杯又不是給我！
陶栾希心裏下意識的泛着酸氣，他也很想參加這樣的競技類比賽，但是體能實在是沒辦法和這些一身肌肉的大個子比，每次只能看着他們的獎杯，一邊饞一邊酸，恨不得眼不見為淨，有怎麽可能還巴巴的上趕着去看他們的比賽？
但是裘弈眼睛裏的期盼太明顯，激得陶栾希實在是開不了這個口當面拒絕，糾結了半晌之後，他勉勉強強道：“要是有時間的話，就去。”
裘弈沒為難他，趁着陶栾希心不在焉的功夫，伸手摸了摸他的腦袋：“我等你！”
陶栾希走了，裘弈進了室內球場，這會兒訓練還沒開始，幾個男生坐在一起讨論一中女生的那點事兒。
裘弈沒參與，拿了瓶水自顧自的喝。
幾個人讨論着多少女生回來看，比賽的時候怎麽在自家小迷妹面前耍帥，說的熱火朝天，還不忘把裘弈拖下水。
“到時候一定不少妹子沖着咱裘哥來的，這要是贏了比賽那幫女生還不得瘋？”
“裘哥，到時候要是有妹子主動獻吻你是接受還是接受啊？”
男生們一陣悶笑，裘弈把瓶蓋擰好，神色淡淡道：“不接受，沒興趣。”
幾個人紛紛吐槽裘弈飽漢不知餓漢饑，裘弈也沒接話，跟着聽見他們又聊起團支部的幾個女生幹事長得還不錯，比賽的那個周六團支部也有活動要來校，他們順道就邀請了幾個女生過來看看。
“團支部周六也在學校？”
“是啊，我女朋友說的。”接話的男生撓了撓頭：“她說她會過來的。”
裘弈一笑，再沒接話，遠遠朝籃筐一抛。
球進了。
還不錯。
陶栾希沒問裘弈比賽的時間，他故意的，不知道時間地點就沒辦法過去，這也不能賴他。奈何陶栾希不想知道，團支部的女生卻天天讨論得熱火朝天，他想不知道也不行。
好巧不巧周六他作為團支部幹事還要來學校組織活動，更是沒有理由不順路過去看看比賽。
陶栾希嘆了一口氣，甚至開始琢磨晚上回去要不要掰開他家傻妞的狗嘴給自己留個牙印，好跟團支部請個假。
當然這只是想想而已。
“陶栾希，咱們學校的籃球賽就在這個周六，體育館，你知道嗎？”團支部活動室裏，一個女生笑着走過來和陶栾希說話
陶栾希笑着點了點頭：“知道。”知道的不能再知道了！
“我跟老師說了，咱們提前結束去給他們加油怎麽樣，體育部那邊和咱麽平時關系也不錯，就當是不同組織串串門了。”
陶栾希認識這個女生，名字叫童素，和體育部籃球隊一個男生是男女朋友，陶栾希算是看出來了，這次提議分明就是打着公事的幌子滿足自己的私心！
但是就算他知道又怎麽樣呢！人家說的有理有據，又和老師提前通了氣，陶栾希一時半會兒也找不到理由拒絕。
陶栾希笑了笑：“行啊，你們安排就好。”
童素高興的很，拿出手機低頭打着字，大概是給自家男朋友勝利通報結果。
陶栾希冷冷的瞥了一眼，心裏冷哼一聲，有男朋友了不起啊？
周六團支部的工作結束的很早，大家鉚足了勁兒想早點弄完趕過去看比賽，老師也早看出他們的心思不在這邊，遂揮揮手：“去給他們加油吧！”
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. There were also many people who made small signs to cheer for their favorite teams. 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 mercifully did not laugh at him, 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!"
Tao Luanxi took the bag and watched Qiu Yi climb over to him by the railing. Perhaps because his right hand was still a little painful from exerting force, he tilted a little when he jumped down and almost fell on Tao Luanxi.
Tao Luanxi was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged Qiu Yi from behind, fearing that they would both fall to the ground.
A big hand hugged Tao Luanxi's back, and a hearty laugh rang in Tao Luanxi's ears: "This is what I've been waiting for! This game is worth it!"
The author has something to say: I hope I finally realize that Qiu Yi can also be used to show off [arms on hips]
Thank you all for your support. I have finally become a V. Leave a comment on this chapter and you will get a red envelope!
