Tao Xi turned his head sharply and saw that Yang Duole was standing beside him with a bottle of mineral water in his hand. He watched the game too seriously and didn't even notice it.
He pursed his lips and subconsciously clenched the phone in his hand, not hiding the initial hostility in his eyes.
However, Yang Duole didn't seem to notice. He blinked and said to him, "I'll take it for you, and give it to him when the game is over."
Tao Xi's first reaction was to refuse.
But he had no reason to refuse. He felt that he was a bit naive, just helping Lin Qinhe get a mobile phone, acting like a child who was awarded a candy by an adult and was reluctant to let go.
He finally handed the phone to Yang Duole reluctantly.
Yang Duole brought it over, casually clicked the screen to check the time, and then stuffed it into his pocket, watching the intense basketball game while chatting to Tao Xi casually: "Hey, Tao Xi ,Do you play basketball?"
Tao Xi was silent for a while, then said, "A little bit."
Yang Duole nodded, sighed softly, wrinkled his nose and said, "I envy you guys, I also want to play basketball, but my health is not very good. I had a pneumothorax after playing basketball in junior high, and I even had surgery, but It hurts to death."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Qinhe made another three-pointer, and the audience was full of enthusiasm.
Yang Duole also cheered and said happily, "Brother Qinhe is amazing!"
Tao Xi felt very irritable.
Listening to Yang Duole's speech was a hundred times more irritating than listening to Aunt Zhou's long-winded speech.
Obviously he didn't say anything disgusting, but Tao Xi just felt that he was about to breathe. He stared straight at Lin Qinhe who was dribbling the ball on the court, clenched the empty hand tightly, and tried to suppress his heart. Turbulent trouble.
Also irritable is Xu Ziqi. Bi Chengfei is not very good at playing football, but he is very good at angering people. He winked and rolled his eyes in anger.
The second class sports committee finally got the ball and quickly passed it to Xu Ziqi who was not far away. Xu Ziqi was shocked. After getting the ball, he was about to shoot directly, but Li Xiaoyuan appeared halfway. He was afraid that this terrifying little dwarf would grab it again His ball, in a panic, threw the ball in his hand towards the opponent's rebound when he was one step away from the three-point line.
But the route was obviously skewed, and it flew directly towards the person standing beside the basketball hoop.
Tao Xi knew the moment Xu Ziqi threw the ball that it was definitely going to fly towards him, he could pull it away quickly, and he could even take a Yang Duole with him.
But then he saw the gaze cast by Lin Qinhe, and looked at Yang Duole on the side with concern.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the girls in the audience couldn't help exclaiming.
The basketball was hitting the head of Tao Xi who was blocking Yang Duole. Although Tao Xi subconsciously raised his hand to block the ball, his right forehead was smashed.
Still rubbed by the basketball, he reached out and touched the wound through the bangs, which stinged slightly, but the expression on his face did not change.
"Fuck, Xu Ziqi, did you fucking do it on purpose?" Bi Chengfei's irritable voice came, and then he asked loudly, "Xiaoxi, are you alright?"
Tao Xi put down his hand and looked up at Lin Qinhe.
Lin Qinhe frowned and looked at him, but he didn't have the kind of worry he looked at Yang Duole just now, and was even colder than before.
Tao Xi shook his head at Bi Chengfei, smiled nonchalantly, and said, "It's okay."
He suddenly felt that he was boring and cheap.
The frightened Yang Duole came back to his senses, and patted his chest with some fear. He was about to say something to Tao Xi, but Tao Xi had already turned around to pick up the basketball that fell to the ground.
Bi Chengfei was so angry that he stared at Xu Ziqi, shouting that he wanted to avenge Tao Xi and continue to fight the second class, but Yuan Hao in his team suddenly said to him with a bitter face: "Sports committee, I sprained my foot when I ran just now. I guess it won't work."
Bi Chengfei walked over, bent over and glanced at Yuan Hao's ankle. He couldn't see where it was swollen, but he still said, "Then go to the infirmary and have a look. I'll find someone to continue beating."
Yuan Hao hurriedly ran away.
Where can there be a substitute for the first class? Bi Chengfei raised his eyes and saw that the group of boys in his class who were watching the game among the girls, turned their heads to look at the sky, the ground and the tree, but they didn't look at him.
Shit, how could this be!
Tao Xi walked to Bi Chengfei with the ball, and said calmly, "I'll be a substitute."
Bi Chengfei was stunned for a moment, and he held Tao Xi's shoulders with both hands, his face moved: "Xiaoxi, thank you for standing up for me, but I really can't bear to make you suffer."
"… "
Damn, Tao Xi felt goosebumps rushing out of his body.
Li Xiaoyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, panted slightly, and said, "Why don't you just end it. With classmate Lin here, I don't think the other side really wants to continue fighting."
The group of people in the second class stood on the side panting in twos and threes. They really didn't want to fight. They were just playing in physical education class. .
Really not worth it.
Tao Xi waved away Bi Chengfei's hand, glanced at Lin Qinhe, who walked to the edge of the court to ask Yang Duole to get some water, and smiled, saying, "Why don't I play, I can't take a ball in vain, right? ?"
Bi Chengfei thought so too, nodded and said, "Okay! Don't worry, I will take care of you later!"
"… "
Just don't mess with me.
The first game was cancelled because of an accident. Tao Xi squatted down and fastened the laces of his old sneakers. When he got up, he saw Lin Qinhe came over after drinking water.
He moved his wrist and smiled at Lin Qinhe. Lin Qinhe glanced at him and looked away.
In this game, the second team also came on the bench. The jump ball was replaced by the sports committee. The first team was still Lin Qinhe, who once again won the ball without any accident.
Li Xiaoyuan took the ball from Lin Qinhe very tacitly and protected the ball to rush towards the opponent's rebound, but the new substitute of the second class was obviously not worthless. He Shi immediately broke his ball and waved it to the second class sports committee.
The second-class sports committee seized this rare opportunity, took the ball and pressed the opponent's three-second zone under the cover of his teammates. Can get points!
But when he was about to shoot over, the ball in his hand was suddenly broken by someone, and under the cover of Li Xiaoyuan, he went beyond his own three-point line a few steps.
Just as he was about to turn around to block, the man raised his hand almost a meter away from the three-point line and threw the ball without hesitation.
The second class sports committee hoped that Xu Ziqi of his own team could grab a rebound from Lin Qinhe.
But the ball went straight into the basket with great precision, giving no chance to grab a rebound at all.
The audience instantly boiled.
"Fuck!"? Bi Chengfei shouted excitedly, looking at Tao Xi with shocking eyes, and gave a thumbs up in awe, "Brother Xi is awesome!"
Tao Xi hadn't touched the ball for a few months, and he was a little surprised.
He subconsciously looked at Lin Qinhe on the side, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he couldn't help being a little proud. Lin Qinhe glanced at him lightly, and said in a low voice? "Good shot."
Tao Xi instantly wanted to open the screen.
After the touch came up, Tao Xi played more and more smoothly. After covering Lin Qinhe and took another three-pointer, the atmosphere of the audience reached a climax again.
The first group, a makeshift team of only five people, although there is Bi Chengfei, who is not a big deal, and Cao Xuan, who is of average strength, but because of the more and more tacit cooperation of Tao Xi, Lin Qinhe and Li Xiaoyuan, they are pressed almost all the way. Get points in class 2.
The slogan of a class of girls has changed from "one class, one class, not ordinary" to "one class, one class, double the appearance".
This basketball game that started out inexplicably ended with no suspense. The second class was beaten so much that they lost their temper. Fortunately, the bell rang as soon as the get out of class was over, and the people watching the game left the playground and rushed to the cafeteria.
Jiang Xinyun, the art committee member, and Jin Jing, the representative of the English class, were both holding mineral water bought from the convenience store, which they intended to give to Lin Qinhe, but when they saw that Lin Qinhe already had the water delivered by Yang Duole, they ran to Beside Tao Xi and Bi Chengfei.
Jiang Xinyun took the lead and handed the water to Tao Xi, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, you were so handsome just now!"
Tao Xi glanced at the bottle of water. He had seen it in the convenience store. A bottle of 12 yuan was worth his meal money for a day in Qingshui No. 1 Middle School. He hesitated or accepted it, and said to Jiang Xinyun with a smile. Thank you.
Because he had just finished playing, there was still a thin layer of sweat on his fair face, and he finally got a little rosy. When he laughed, the corners of his eyes and eyelashes were moistened with moisture.
Jiang Xinyun was stunned for a while, then lowered her eyelashes a little embarrassedly and said no thanks.
Jin Jing glanced at the bottle of excess water in her hand, and had no choice but to throw it to Bi Chengfei.
Bi Chengfei was flattered with his water bottle in his hand. This was the first time in his life that a girl gave water after playing basketball, and the target was Jin Jing, the flower of Gao Ling. Just as he was about to open his mouth to give a hundred-character testimonial, Jin Jing rolled his eyes and said, "This is for Lin Qinhe bought it and gave it to you for recycling."
The waste recycling station said aggrieved: "Every time you buy water for Xue Shen, you dare not give it out. Why bother? Why don't you give it to me."
There are too many girls who want to send water to Lin Qinhe, but they have never been successful, not entirely because there is always Yang Duole, but also because they simply dare not.
Jin Jing gave Bi Chengfei a vicious look, and dragged Jiang Xinyun, who didn't want to leave, to run away.
Bi Chengfei sighed to himself: "Luohua intends to run water ruthlessly, isn't this little ditch of mine bad? Maybe it will become the sea in the future?"
Then he patted Tao Xi on the shoulder and said, "Brother Xi, I'm going to help the physical education teacher pack up the equipment. You don't have to wait for me to go directly to dinner."
Tao Xi nodded in agreement.
I thought that I was right to play ball just now, at least Bi Chengfei finally changed that disgusting name.
He turned around and walked towards the cafeteria with the water in his hand, but saw the person he least wanted to see standing under a tree not far away.
It was Yang Duole, who called out his name, raised his hand and waved at him a few times.
Tao Xi paused, clenched the water bottle in his hand and walked towards Yang Duole.
"Tao Xi, thank you for helping me block the ball just now. If it weren't for you, I would have been hit." Yang Duole never had time to say thank you to Tao Xi, and waited here after the game.
Tao Xi looked at Yang Duole's face expressionlessly. Those eyes were inherited from Guo Ping, while the natural scroll was inherited from Tao Jian.
Obviously it looks very similar to Tao Le, but he is extremely disgusted by this face.
He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and said, "No thanks."
Really don't need to thank him, he did it on purpose, just to let Lin Qinhe take a look at him, but this kind of boring behavior instantly turned ironic in front of Yang Duole.
Yang Duole stood closer and asked worriedly, "Then are you injured? The ball seems to have hit hard."
Tao Xi did have a wound on his right forehead, which was blocked by his hair and could not be seen. He almost forgot about it, but it was only when Yang Duole mentioned it that he remembered it. Take it easy.
He took a half step back without a trace, and just wanted to say "no" to send Yang Duole away, but suddenly saw Lin Qinhe walking towards him in the corner of his light.
So he stretched out his hand to slightly open the bangs on his forehead, touched the wound with his fingers, and said casually, "It seems to hurt a little, but it shouldn't be a big deal."
On Tao Xi's exposed white forehead, there was a wound that was completely red and swollen due to broken skin and sweat infiltration. Yang Duole took a deep breath and said anxiously: "You are injured and swollen so big, how can it be okay? I I'll accompany you to the infirmary."
At this time, Lin Qinhe had walked to Yang Duole's side and looked at the wound on Tao Xi's forehead, but there was no emotion in his eyes.
Tao Xi put down his bangs, pretended to be empathetic and smiled and said, "I'll go by myself, you can go to the cafeteria to eat, there will be no good dishes if it's late."
Yang Duole asked, "You just came to our school, do you know where the infirmary is?"
Tao Xi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I can ask."
Yang Duole showed such an expression as expected, and said to Lin Qinhe next to him, "Brother Qinhe, you go to eat first, and I will accompany Tao Xi to the infirmary."
Tao Xi, however, looked at Lin Qinhe, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a light and natural tone:
"Same table, why don't you accompany me to the infirmary?"
Yang Duole was stunned.
Tao Xi looked at Lin Qinhe with a smile on his face, but his fingernails were pinched tightly into his palm.
It seemed like about three seconds had passed, and it seemed like a long time. Lin Qinhe looked at him and said:
"it is good."
