As the game was about to start, the players on the field were doing pre-match warm-ups and the audience was bustling with noise.
Zhao Yun, one of the main players in this game, did not go to the court to interact with other players. Instead, he leaned listlessly on the railing and chatted with Pei Ziheng, Liu Chan and others.
"Brother Black Bear, why didn't Sister Ren come to watch you play?"
"She has something to do and can't come."
Pei Tang suddenly realized, "No wonder you look so lifeless. If I didn't know, I would think you were heartbroken."
"Bah, stop talking nonsense, I'm on good terms with your sister Ren."
Shh ...
The whistle sounded and the game was about to begin. Zhao Yun cheered up and turned around and jogged back to the court.
…
"When we get to grandpa's house, behave yourself. There are many distinguished guests attending the banquet today, and you must not embarrass your father."
Mother Ren gave instructions while checking her dance costumes and shoes.
Ren Jingshu looked out the window quietly and saw several children aged four or five years old chasing a black and white ball on the lawn.
"I'm talking to you, do you hear me? Why are you daydreaming?"
Ren Jingshu turned around and said to her mother who looked suspicious, "Mom, I have my period."
Mother Ren was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Last month..."
"I didn't come last month."
As a side effect of dieting, Ren Jingshu's menstruation has always been irregular.
Mother Ren threw her dance dress on the bed in a bad mood and said angrily, "Why did you come today instead of earlier or later? I spent so much effort and time preparing for you to show up at the birthday party. You really want to piss me off to death!"
Ren's mother slammed the door and left cursing.
Ren Jingshu closed the door and grinned silently.
Ten minutes later, the whole family dressed neatly and went out to attend Mr. Ren's 70th birthday party.
In order to avoid wrinkling the dresses, the family of four rode in two cars.
Ren Jingshu and Ren Yingying took one.
Today, Ren Yingying wore a white bubble skirt with a small crystal crown on her head, looking like a beautiful and proud peacock.
"Mom said that I should take your place to perform for Grandpa's birthday today."
Ren Jingshu ignored Ren Yingying's boasting and looked quietly out the car window.
"parking."
Ren Yingying glared, "What are you doing?"
"I'm not feeling well and want to buy some painkillers."
"Can't you just hold back?"
"I can't stand it."
"Then I won't wait for you. I need to go to rehearse for the birthday party early."
"casual."
After watching the car turn into another street, Ren Jingshu walked out of the pharmacy and ran towards the city gymnasium not far away.
Shh ...
The whistle sounded, the first half of the game ended, and all the players running on the field stopped.
After glancing at the score board showing that he was lagging behind, Zhao Yun lifted up his shirt in annoyance and walked towards the rest area while wiping the sweat off his face.
"Guoguo, get me a bottle of water, it's so hot!"
Because he was wiping his sweat with his head down, Zhao Yun didn't notice that there was someone beside the brother and sister.
It was not until a slender white hand appeared in his field of vision that he looked over with surprise. When he saw Ren Jingshu in a black gauze dress, his eyes suddenly lit up with amazement.
"Jingshu!? When did you come?"
“Just arrived.”
Zhao Yun took the mineral water and couldn't help but look at Ren Jingshu.
Ren Jingshu has fair skin and beautiful looks. She dressed up carefully today and looked stunning, attracting a lot of attention from people around her.
Even Pei Tang couldn't help but whisper in Pei Ziheng's ear, praising Ren Jingshu for how beautiful she was today.
"Didn't you say you couldn't come because of something?"
Ren Jingshu said succinctly, "I have to leave soon."
"Did you come here specially to see me?"
Although he was asking, he had already determined in his heart that Ren Jingshu came to see him, and he grinned with his teeth bared.
Zhao Yun's smile froze, and he immediately explained: "It's because they don't cooperate well and always pass the ball wrong. Just wait and see how I beat them in the second half!"
The second half begins soon.
I don’t know if it was because he was in better shape or because he didn’t want to be looked down upon by his girlfriend, but Zhao Yun’s attack was obviously much more fierce and aggressive than in the first half. He scored two goals in less than five minutes and evened the score gap in one fell swoop.
Three minutes later, Zhao Yun, who was tightly guarded by three opposing players, made a jump shot on the spot.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and passed through the basket perfectly.
"YES!"
"nice shot!"
A beautiful three-pointer allowed Zhao Yun's team to surpass the opponent's total score for the first time.
After shooting the ball, Zhao Yun looked towards the rest area and saw Ren Jingshu giving him a thumbs up. He was immediately excited.

After that, he was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and launched crazy sanctions on his opponents at an average frequency of one goal every three minutes.
The people in the audience were shouting Zhao Yun's jersey number like crazy, and the cheers almost blew the roof of the stadium off. Even Pei Tang, who knew nothing about basketball, stood on a stool and cheered.
The whole game reached its climax because of Zhao Yun's outstanding performance.
This is the charm of basketball, to shed blood, chase dreams and never give up.
Shh ...
The whistle sounded, signaling the end of the game.
Zhao Yun's team won the game with a lead of 27 points.
After Zhao Yun finally broke out of the team members' encirclement and ran to the rest area, he learned that Ren Jingshu had left long ago. He felt depressed as if he had been splashed with cold water.
"Brother Black Bear, Sister Ren asked me to bring you a message."
"What?"
"She said if you win the game, she'll take you to the movies."
Zhao Yun instantly became excited again.
Because he helped the team win the game, foreign player Zhao Yun received the "reward" of fifty yuan as he wished.
He divided the money into three parts. He used one part to treat everyone to fried skewers, one part to repay Pei Tang's "loan", and the rest was kept in his hand, ready to treat Ren Jingshu to something to eat after they finished watching the movie.
In the past, fifty yuan was not enough for his meal, but now he has to budget carefully.
Looking at Pei Tang who was eating a string of fried rice cakes with his mouth full of oil, Zhao Yun secretly felt lucky that Ren Jingshu was not as big of an eater as Pei Tang, otherwise he would not be able to afford to support her.
…
As she walked out of the airport, the heat wave with a salty and humid smell hit her in the face, but it did not make Shen Mingzhu feel uncomfortable. Instead, it gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
In her previous life, she was a native southerner, born in Jiangmen. After the college entrance examination, she went to Guangzhou to study at university. She lived in Guangzhou until she traveled through the book.
The city of Sui where she was now overlapped with the Guangzhou in her previous life.
"Brother Yang, sister-in-law."
Just as Shen Mingzhu was looking around, trying to find traces of her memory, Zhou Shuhuan brought a young and beautiful woman in front of them.
"Shuhuan, long time no see!"
Pei Yang put down his luggage and gave Zhou Shuhuan a warm hug.
Seeing Shen Mingzhu looking at her, Qiao Ya greeted with a smile: "Hello, sister-in-law."
Shen Mingzhu smiled politely, but couldn't help but speculate about the woman's identity.
"Brother Yang, sister-in-law, this is Xiaoya."
Following Zhou Shuhuan's introduction, Qiao Ya also greeted the two of them with a smile.
The couple was smart enough not to ask about Qiao Ya and Zhou Shuhuan's relationship. Zhou Shuhuan didn't say anything either and directly led the two to get the car.
In the car.
"Shuheng, you've been doing pretty well in the past two years. You can even drive a Mercedes-Benz."
In this era, Mercedes-Benz cars are a symbol of wealth, hence the name "Big Benz".
"My job is nothing, just to make a living."
Qiao Ya took over the conversation, "Brother Pei, sister-in-law, do you want to try Cantonese cuisine or seafood? It's dinner time now. I'll take you back to the hotel to rest after dinner."
"It's all right. It's up to you."
"Then let's eat Cantonese food. We'll eat seafood when we get to Macau."
Hearing the other party's words, Shen Mingzhu's heart paused. (End of this chapter)
