Chapter 26: Play football

Views:

Mi Yang's clothes were stained with ink. When Bai Luochuan came to pick him up from the third grade after school, he looked down and saw it. He frowned and asked, "Did someone in the class bully you?"

Mi Yang said: "No."

Bai Luochuan's brows were still furrowed, and he kept looking at the hem of his clothes. He reached out and took Mi Yang's schoolbag, saying, "I'll help you carry it, don't get it dirty."

Mi Yang gave him the schoolbag, and when he raised his hand, a large stain of ink was revealed on his sleeve.

Bai Luochuan's eyes fell on his sleeves again, and he said to him, "Go to my house and change clothes first."

Mi Yang was afraid that his mother would worry, so he nodded and followed. Cheng Qing had just changed her job recently. The hospital was already short of nurses, and they had to take turns to work the night shift, which was really hard. His father Mi Zehai's life was not much easier either. He led the troops in training every day, and was very tired in the wind and rain. Mi Yang tried his best not to cause trouble for them, and solved any problems he could handle by himself.

Bai Luochuan took him back to his home, pushed Mi Yang to the bathroom to take a shower, and took out his own clothes and put them at the door for him to change.

When Mi Yang came out of the bathroom, he was wearing a slightly larger blue and white sportswear, and he rolled up his sleeves as he walked. Bai Luochuan, who was sitting opposite him, was also wearing the same clothes and was looking at him seriously. When he saw him, he raised his chin and said to him, "Tell me, what's going on."

Mi Yang opened his mouth to speak, but Bai Luochuan interrupted him again and said, "Tell the truth, I will check with the rest of your class again."

Mi Yang was amused, walked over and sat next to him, and said: "You are going to ask it yourself, why are you asking me?"

Bai Luochuan said irritably: "But I just want to hear you say it."

Mi Yang said: "It's nothing serious, it's just that a classmate accidentally knocked over the ink in art class and stained a little... Hey, where are my clothes?"

Bai Luochuan said, "I'll ask Aunt Wu to wash it. You can put it back on tomorrow. Wear this first."

Mi Yang said indifferently: "Oh, it's okay, I still have a set of school uniforms at home."

Bai Luochuan didn't let him change the subject. He stared at him and suddenly asked, "Is it related to Tang Xiao?"

Mi Yang looked up and his eyes collided with his. He rubbed the tip of his nose and smiled, "How do you guess everything? A little bit, but he wanted to help, and then he got a little impatient and started a fight." Mi Yang told him what happened and spread his hands, "It's just such a small matter, but we were implicated. Teacher Wang made us stand in a row outside. It's so embarrassing."

Bai Luochuan said dissatisfiedly: "Your class teacher is sick."

Mi Yang glanced at him. He usually didn't allow Young Master Bai to swear.

Master Bai reluctantly changed his tone a little, but his mocking attitude remained the same: "Is your teacher sick?"

Mi Yang was amused by his honorifics. He laughed for a while before saying, "You should let Tang Xiao learn this. He has been angry for the whole afternoon and just doesn't know how to talk back. He really should worship you as his master."

In the evening, they went to Wei Xian's class together. Because Master Bai had mentioned before that the third graders were taking calligraphy classes, Wei Xian also prepared some paper, ink, brushes and inkstones for them to practice.

Previously, we had only been teaching pencil writing. This was Bai Luochuan's first time using a brush. He stood in front of a small table, bent over, and wrote very seriously with his wrist suspended in the air. His large characters were also very beautiful.

Mi Yang also wrote two pieces. He didn’t finish writing in the afternoon, so he was able to calm down and write a few words seriously now.

This time they didn't use Yidege ink, but the inkstone that Mrs. Bai found in the study downstairs. It looked like an antique, and it was rare to see such authentic Hui ink. When Mi Yang stood up, Bai Luochuan had just finished writing a piece, walked over to look at him, and whispered, "Be careful, don't get the ink on you again."

Mi Yang: “…”

This young master doesn't show it on his face, but he's still holding a grudge in his heart.

Before Mi Yang's washed clothes were dry, he called home and said he would stay at Bai's house tonight.

Under normal circumstances, Master Bai would definitely be happy, but today, after listening to Mi Yang's art class, his little face has been tense and he hasn't smiled. When it's time to go to bed at night, he still held Mi Yang down, stripped him of his clothes and checked him thoroughly. Mi Yang is only two months younger than him, but he has been smaller than him since he was a child, especially after he started elementary school, he is half a head shorter. He was pressed on the small bed and couldn't get up after struggling for a long time. He could only pull his pants and beg for mercy: "Hey, hey, what are you doing... There's really no injury, not at all! Didn't I tell you, I didn't do anything or participate!"

Bai Luochuan didn't listen, he lifted up his clothes to check his belly and back, and after confirming, he stubbornly pulled his pants: "I'll see for myself."

Mi Yang regretted not confessing seriously at the beginning. His pants were half pulled down, and his little butt was pressed there. His ears turned red. Suddenly, he felt that he was touched again, and he immediately said angrily: "That's enough, that's enough!"

Bai Luochuan pulled up his pants for him, and seeing that Mi Yang's eyes were watery when he was angry, he subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch his head, but as expected, Mi Yang dodged him.

Bai Luochuan said to him, "I heard that some teachers would physically punish students. I was afraid that you would be beaten and I didn't tell you."

Mi Yang looked up at him, and then he saw the worried look on the child's face, and his heart softened: "No, I'm not stupid, my mother has never hit me, if I was beaten, I would definitely tell my mother." After thinking for a while, he added, "I'll tell you too."

"If someone hits you, run downstairs and find me." Bai Luochuan reached out and touched Mi Yang's head this time. While comforting Mi Yang with his little hand, he said seriously: "You are so well behaved, it must not be your fault."

The remaining half of Mi Yang's heart softened immediately. Looking at his serious face, he curved his eyes and nodded, "Okay."

After the art class punishment of standing in the corner, life in the class went on peacefully. Except for the fact that some children were a little nervous during the parents' meeting, everything else went quite smoothly.

Mi Yang won first place, and Cheng Qing took a special leave to attend a parent-teacher meeting for him. She felt very proud sitting in her son's seat in the first row.

Finally, Teacher Wang said that she would invite a parent to speak. Cheng Qing was a little nervous. She guessed that it should be the parent of the first place student, but she had not received any notification from the teacher before coming. She could only try her best to think of some polite words that could encourage other children. As she was thinking, she heard Teacher Wang say on the podium: "Next, please invite the parent of Sun Qian to speak."

Cheng Qing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned to look at the female parent next to her. If she remembered correctly, if it wasn't the first place, then the second place should be allowed to speak on the stage, right? But why did she remember that the second place was Mi Yang's class monitor, and she was a girl? Cheng Qing looked down at the name on the homework book next to her and confirmed it: Wang Yiyi, not Sun Qian who was named by the head teacher.

Wang Yiyi's mother was also looking at Cheng Qing strangely, she thought it was the first one to go up!

Both mothers were good-tempered. They smiled at each other and said nothing.

Teacher Wang, the head teacher, made a few opening remarks and said to everyone: "Student Sun Qian has developed in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. He is also the labor committee member of our class. A few days ago, he found five yuan and handed it in to the school. He did a good deed. Next, we invite Sun Qian's father to speak."

Sun Qian's father was a man of medium build, wearing a black suit and with a bit of a belly. He looked like a businessman. After he came on stage, he said a few simple words and then left. He was quite friendly.

The other parents applauded him. Sitting in the primary school classroom, the parents were also trying hard to create a good image for their children and were particularly cooperative.

There were only two classes on Friday afternoon, and there was still half a day after school. The boys in Mi Yang's class made an appointment to play football. After Tang Xiao, Sun Qian and other boys had experienced the incident of standing together, their relationship became better. Now they make appointments to play together on weekends, and they talk about everything like good brothers. Tang Xiao hooked his arm around Mi Yang's neck and shouted, "You have sneaked away several times, you have to go this time, right?"

Mi Yang raised his hand and said, "Then I'll apply to bring a little partner, okay?"

Tang Xiao nodded in agreement generously, and Mi Yang ran downstairs to call Bai Luochuan.

Master Bai packed his schoolbag, put it on his shoulder and said to him, "Okay, the playground, right? You go first, I'll be here in a bit."

Mi Yang and his friends simply divided themselves into groups using the palms and backs of their hands. Tang Xiao and Mi Yang were in the same group. He had good stamina and could run fast, so they beat the opposing group and even scored a 10:0 in football play.

The kids on the opposing team were on strike and the game was extremely boring. Several kids were not in high spirits. It was only after Bai Luochuan came that the game started to get a little better.

Young Master Bai went back home after school and changed into a football jersey before coming here. Although he was young, he had a well-developed body. Standing there, he looked half a head taller than Mi Yang, and was about the same height as the boys in the front row of the third grade class. When he ran, he was like a little whirlwind and scored a goal as soon as he came up.

Xiaopang was originally on the losing team, but now hope appeared in his eyes, and he speeded up to catch up with the other kids.

Bai Luochuan is different from Tang Xiao. Tang Xiao is a one-man team, and eight out of ten goals he scored are his. Bai Luochuan advances step by step, and while he is fighting his way out, he also does not forget to make arrangements. He lets several people stop Tang Xiao, which gives other members of the team many opportunities. Although those kids are not as accurate as him, and can't score every goal, but with more chances, they gradually surpass Tang Xiao and his team.

In the second game, Bai Luochuan's team made a great comeback and won 2 goals.

Tang Xiao refused to accept the offer and shouted, "Come again!"

Bai Luochuan stopped the ball at his feet, stepped on it, and said, "Let's change someone."

Tang Xiao asked: "Who should I change?"

Bai Luochuan glanced at Mi Yang, then quickly retracted his gaze and fell on Tang Xiao, saying, "Let's switch, do you dare?"

Tang Xiao switched sides with him without saying a word.

When Bai Luochuan ran past Mi Yang, he only reminded him: "Be careful, don't fall."

This time Tang Xiao worked harder than before, but the team was already used to the group attack mode, and the two sides were tied up with each other, and the effect was not good without a commander. Xiaopang was sweating profusely while chasing Tang Xiao, and when he stopped, he habitually looked for Bai Luochuan, and saw the commander instructing everyone to charge in the opposite team, and he felt envious.

After playing two games, Bai Luochuan could already accurately call out the names of the boys in Class 1, Grade 3. He was not at all shy standing among these older kids. He said to Mi Yang, "There is a schoolbag next to the court. I brought some snacks. Can you help me get them and we can share them together?"

Mi Yang had no doubt and got up to get it.

The schoolbag was quite heavy. In addition to snacks, there was also a familiar little frog water bottle. Mi Yang was very thirsty after running for half the afternoon, so he took a few sips first and then hurriedly handed it to Young Master Bai.

When he approached, he just heard Bai Luochuan talking to those children. They formed a circle, and Young Master Bai was in the middle, listening attentively.

"… It was my grandma. She insisted on giving a gift to Teacher Wang, so my dad had to go on stage to speak." Sun Qian pouted and said, "If it were any other time, it would definitely be Mi Yang or the class monitor. At the very least, Brother Xiao ranked in the top five. How could it be my turn?"

The children around us all quieted down, looking at each other and sighing, not knowing what to say.

Some people hesitated and asked, "Teacher...it won't be like this, right?"

Sun Qian said: "The number of people who accepted the gift must be small. I don't know about other classes, but Teacher Wang accepted it anyway."

Bai Luochuan sat there listening, his brows furrowed for a long time.

Sun Qian saw Mi Yang coming and quickly stood up and said to him a little embarrassedly: "Mi Yang, are you going to tell your family? Or you can also send some. In fact, your mother should have been on stage to give a speech that day..."

Mi Yang was even more surprised, looking at him with wide eyes, and said, "Of course not!" He looked at the other children, most of them had confused eyes, only Bai Luochuan looked at him seriously and waited for him to continue. "It's wrong to accept gifts. Teacher Wang is wrong to do this. I come to school to learn knowledge, not to please the teacher."

Xiao Pang curled his lips and said, "I also think that what Old Lady Wang did was wrong. She said that people are good just because they took things from her. Sun Qian, I'm not talking about you. You are my brother. I won't take things from you, but I will still say you are good!"

Sun Qian is a carefree person and his family is relatively wealthy. He waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

Bai Luochuan took the schoolbag, took out the snacks inside and shared them with everyone. He only took the frog water bottle for himself. He asked Mi Yang in a low voice first, and when he saw him shaking his head, he opened it and took a few sips.

Tang Xiao saw the water and said, "Hey Luochuan, can you give me a drink too?"

Bai Luochuan unceremoniously avoided his hand and said, "I'm not used to drinking from the same cup as others."

Tang Xiao was dissatisfied: "Didn't you just ask Mi Yang if he wanted to drink? I heard it all!"

Bai Luochuan said: "He is different."

Tang Xiao: “…”

This person was so confident in treating people differently that he couldn't even refute a word.

On the way back from playing football, Bai Luochuan suddenly said, "I have asked for everything, including the address of Sun Qian's home, the address of Teacher Wang's home, and the number of gifts. There is a magnetic massage pillow in it. If she didn't give it away, it shouldn't be difficult to recognize it."

Mi Yang was a little surprised: "How come you asked so many questions just by playing football?"

Bai Luochuan showed a bit of pride in front of him and said, "Have you forgotten what Grandpa taught you about reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance? The last time I went to the mountain to watch the target shooting, you were afraid and covered your ears."

Mi Yang thought: That’s because you refused to put cotton balls into your ears and didn’t take any protective measures at all!

The author has something to say: There will be more chapters today, wait until I wake up =3=
