Later, Xie Tian discovered that Ma Yangyang seemed to really like basketball. Ma Yangyang was not too short for a growing southern boy, but Wang Yuelei, Xue Wei and others who played well with him were all They are tall and lively, and they can often be seen playing on the concrete basketball court in front of the teaching building in just ten minutes between classes.
Some things can always be ignored if you don't care about them, but once you care about them, all the pictures will become profound.
Xie Tian put his hands on the fence outside the classroom. On the cement court downstairs, Ma Yangyang was running hard while hitting the ball.
Ma Yangyang is quite fast, but he is not very skilled in dribbling. It seems that he has not practiced the basics well. It is common for people to rob the ball. His playing style is very consistent with his personality. He does not show off his skills when playing. Pay attention to the cooperation with his teammates. The offense is not fierce enough, the defense is not stable enough, and occasionally his reaction is half a beat slow, but these will not affect his running hard, optimistic, brave and hard running.
Xie Tian looked at his palm. There was an ugly centipede-shaped scar on the palm of his right hand. In fact, it does not affect his playing now, but its existence is a constant reminder of those unbearable past, which became a reason for him to give up, even when the scar appears. He had given up on himself for a long time before, on all levels.
**
Xie Tian received another love letter. The pink letter paper was folded into the shape of a heart and sandwiched in the textbook Xie Tian put on the table.
No one knows how it appeared, and naturally no one knows who wrote it or who put it here.
Xie Tian directly tore the love into several pieces and stuffed them into a garbage bag. He did it in one go. It was obvious that he was very skilled in this action.
But Ma Yangyang is still stunned every time he sees it. Generally speaking, love letters are written by boys to girls. Generally, if boys receive a love letter, they will pretend not to care and show it off, even if they don't want to accept the feeling. I will try my best to decline politely.
Of course, boys who often receive love letters may have the privilege of being dismissive, but Xie Tian's behavior of tearing them up without even looking at them is really unkind.
Ma Yangyang can be considered a handsome boy. Although most girls say that his white, tender and round figure is more suitable for a younger brother, they have also received one or two love letters.
Ma Yangyang recalled how he felt when he received the love letter. He was probably shy at the time, and later on he had to rack his brains to think of how to refuse the love letter so as not to make the girl sad and embarrassed. Thinking back on it, I can understand how tiring it feels to receive too many love letters.
Xie Tian opened the textbook, felt Ma Yangyang's gaze, and asked casually: "What's wrong?"
Ma Yangyang couldn't dodge, shook his head, and couldn't help but ask: "Don't you take a look?"
"So what?"
"Uh..." Ma Yangyang choked, scratched his head, and whispered with some uncertainty, "At least you know who it is. And it must be very sad to tear those girls apart like this." "
Xie Tian turned back to read his book in silence. Ma Yangyang thought he was angry, so he quickly said: "I just said it casually, don't worry about it."
Xie Tian stared at the book in silence for a few seconds, sighed and said, "If you tear up the letter, no one will know who wrote it. I don't have to worry about the follow-up trouble, and the person who wrote the letter doesn't have to feel embarrassed even if he sees me." ,Is not it good?"
Ma Yangyang didn't expect Xie Tian to explain, and it was such a long explanation. He was completely convinced by Xie Tian's explanation without hesitation.
Girls are thin-skinned. Although the girl who secretly wrote to him probably didn't expect to get a response, maybe she was just letting the other person know her feelings.
But as Xie Tian said, so what if you know? Knowing that it was impossible to respond would only embarrass and annoy the two of them, and even worse, they would be invaded by rumors. It would be better to talk about it from the beginning and kill all the follow-up.
Ma Yangyang nodded gently and said to Xie Tian, "Well, I think you handled it well this way."
Xie Tian continued to read and stopped talking.
Ma Yangyang was still immersed in Xie Tian's words just now. Boys of their age rarely deal with things so decisively. He felt that this was also Xie Tian's gentleness. It seemed inhumane but it was also to some extent. kindness.
Not every boy can have the courage to give up. It does not mean giving up the opportunity to get along with girls, but giving up the eyes of the outside world. Regardless of gossip, this kind of insistence on being oneself, at least now, Ma Yangyang feels that he still does it. Less than.
Ma Yangyang fully understood this within two days.
As soon as Ma Yangyang climbed to the floor where the classroom was, he was stopped by a sweet-looking girl. The girl blushed and handed Ma Yangyang a letter and whispered: "Classmate Ma Yangyang, can you please help me with this?" Give the letter to Xie Tian?”
Ma Yangyang was immediately dumbfounded. This kind of plot that often appeared in novels and TV shows actually appeared in his life. Fortunately, he didn't have time to think that it was for him.
Ma Yangyang's heart was extremely tangled, what are you doing
That was the object of his crush. Why would he help others deliver love letters to the male god he had a crush on? If it happened by accident, would he strangle himself to death or strangle himself to death
Ma Yangyang lowered his hands and refused to accept the letter. Before he could find a way to speak, the girl looked at Ma Yangyang with red eyes and said in an aggrieved voice: "Classmate Ma Yangyang, please, please!"
The classmates who were passing by would look at them with gossipy faces, and some classmates would smile at Ma Yangyang with Yooooooo eyes.
"Classmate Ma Yangyang, please. I heard that Xie Tian never reads letters from others, but you are his deskmate and the closest to him, so I'll leave it to you." The girl's voice was soft, which really made her feel uncomfortable. People can't help but refuse, and since it's just a simple matter, he really has no reason to refuse.
At this time, Ma Yangyang could better understand how much courage Xie Tian's unkindness required.
It didn't take long for Ma Yangyang to be defeated. Looking at the unknown girl's back running away happily, Ma Yangyang couldn't help but sigh several times.
When Ma Yangyang handed the letter to Xie Tian, Xie Tian raised his eyebrows, which made Ma Yangyang's heart shrink. For a moment, he felt that this was his love letter to Xie Tian. This jumping thought made Ma Yangyang Yangyang was a little embarrassed to even speak: "Thank you, thank you Tian, this is... for you."
Xie Tian's eyes shifted to the letter he was holding in both hands. Ma Yangyang's hands suddenly started to shake, and his voice sounded like he was leaking air: "That... uh, it's a girl who asked me to give it to him." your."
Xie Tian withdrew his gaze, took the letter, and put it on the desk, but he didn't tear it up like before.
Ma Yangyang looked at Xie Tian carefully and said naa, "Are you angry?"
Xie Tian looked sideways at him and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Ma Yangyang bit his lower lip: "I'm sorry, I know you find it troublesome, but you still help others..."
Xie Tian explained: "I'm not angry. You don't need to apologize. If you don't help, others will help."
"But, I..." Ma Yangyang didn't know how to express his thoughts at the moment. He was very confused and felt that there were more than a thousand mistakes in helping deliver such a love letter.
"If you feel pressured, just say no next time." Xie Tian picked up the letter, tore it up, and whispered, "I won't read these letters. If anyone else comes to you, just say, I will Angry with you."
After hearing this, Ma Yangyang felt even more confused, and his mind was also in a mess. Xie Tian's words made him feel that the big stone on his chest had been moved away, but countless small stones fell from the sky, which made his heart numb and dull, a little painful and dull.
But what is certain is that Ma Yangyang decided that next time something like this happens, he will definitely be able to refuse, not just to help deliver love letters, but to all things he is not willing to do.
