Chapter 1

"Hold the ball firmly! Run it! Intercept him!"

Fifteen seconds left before the end of the fourth quarter, the two sides on the court once again fell into a deadlock after a tactical guidance.

This is the campus playground in the stone.

The students standing outside the court crowded into a row, and they could see six boys pursing on the court, competing for their skills, and their heights were around 1.8 meters.

The tallest boy stood in the middle of the field, just as he caught the ball, he bent his palm up, slightly concave, and quickly drove the ball around the opponent's two defenses in the field, heading straight to the opponent's tiger's den and wolf's nest!

This is running.

It is a school basketball team that is very good at playing the world, with first-class skills, and is in the eyes of most people.

During the battle, he was confronting the enemy's attacking party, steadily stance, leaning forward with his upper body, gasping heavily, and his whole body was very fierce and aggressive.

The basketball kept changing his left and right hands, and cheering around him was endless, so he could not be ambiguous.

But he was distracted.

Because Ning Xi was sitting under the one-arm basketball stand where he was going to pitch.

Ning Xi lived downstairs of his house and asked him to chase after him since he was a child.

Ning Xi, who is three years older than him.

She was wearing a jersey and a robe. Ning Xi was holding a popsicle bought from the convenience store in her hand, applying her arm that had just been hit by the huge impact of the ball, with a calm expression and observing the situation on the field.

His hair was cut short and he couldn't stick to his forehead because of sweat. It was too hot, so he lifted the hem of his clothes and fanned it, revealing a piece of white and well-proportioned abdominal muscles.

Ning Xi took a breath, as if he was enduring some pain and applied the popsicle to his arm again.

What Xingcheng didn't know was that Ning Xi's eyes were always chasing him alone.

But as soon as Xingcheng caught him and saw him, Ning Xi quickly avoided him.

Looking at Xingchang scoring repeatedly on the court, he suddenly felt the cool breeze beside him, and his eyes were filled with the summer he loved.

"Breaking into the three-second zone! Cover his cap!"

This is the stone center, located on the side of the city, with convenient transportation, a lot of food, and the school is also very beautiful. Only the high school is here, not crowded, and the students are relaxed.

Xingcheng has just advanced to the second year of high school this year and is handsome and tall. He is a small forward in the school team. He is trying to focus on basketball. His skills have become famous in the entire area, and his style of playing is even more sophisticated and ruthless.

But he is different from other boys of the same age. He didn't dive into the girl, but he pounced on Ning Xi, who had just risen to the fourth year.

In his own opinion, it was a pounce.

When I was a child, the children in the yard gathered together in groups of three or three, and after dinner, they would chat together and tell ghost stories. At that time, the story of glass marbles upstairs was particularly popular. It was said that the sound of those marbles was actually made by the rolling eyes...

Xiao Ningxi pretended to be calm on the surface and said that he was not afraid.

But only Xiao Xingcheng, who was sneaking around him, knew that he was really scared.

Two people were upstairs and downstairs. After returning home, Xiao Xingcheng would marble upstairs every day at night.

After playing for two or three days, I felt that I had done something wrong. Xiao Xingcheng took a rope and hugged comic books to Xiao Ningxi to hang CDs and toys outside his bedroom window. Although Xiao Ningxi always wanted to hang a curtain, he simply closed the curtains and was not upset.

After a while, after a long time, Xiaoxingcheng will no longer be stubborn.

Later, both children were growing up, Xiao Xingcheng ran downstairs every day and knocked on the door of Xiao Ningxi's house: "Brother Ningxi, can you play together? You can play anything!"

And Xiao Ningxi, who was already a big taller than him, opened the door and smashed a basketball on the ground: "Come and have fun."

Xiao Xingcheng was amused by Xiao Ningxi, who was three years older than him, with a basketball that was so funny that he was abandoned. The two of them had become friends since then, but their unilateral horoscopes were always incompatible.

When practicing a ball in the community yard, Xiao Ningxi would put the ball bag in the middle of the field and act as a "38th parallel" and look at Xingcheng's younger brother standing outside the field.

"If you dare to come over, I will beat you up."

Xingcheng has worked so hard to play basketball since he was a child, and he became the pillar of the school team. He just wanted to defeat Ning Xi once. However, this dream was only completed in a first-year high school game, but he was not very satisfied at the time.

As long as this ball is played against Ning Xi, even if you win, you will lose in Xingcheng's heart.

Those who first think about it will never win back.

Ning Xi has always been the "child of other people's families" mentioned by Xingcheng's parents. He has good grades and good looks. Although his personality looks cold to everyone, his heart is really warm.

Except for his family that was not perfect and he did not repeat the exam last year, Ning Xi had no worries about his concern, but almost everyone around him could not figure out his true character.

Xingcheng swears that this is his last time on the court this week. He was originally a player who bravely went to play in other schools instead of the school team, but when he met Ning Xi, he felt that the pressure on his senior high school senior was too great and he had to go off the court to play the ball.

Once you leave, it feels like you can't come back.

Suddenly, a hysterical roar exploded in his ear: "Xingcheng! Stop him!"

A guy who was guarding the water dispenser in the team shouted passionately, making him laugh. How could he break the ball by lightning after all this was said?

Ning Xi was happy and laughed, his lips raised, and Xingcheng was waving again.

At this time, the defense time was almost up. The person confronted him took the lead and came to steal the basketball in his hand. The situation on the court could not delay him at all. Xingcheng was stunned and immediately came back to his senses and turned sideways!

He replaced the ball with his hand at a very fast speed, rushed into the three-second zone of the attack, rose up and dunked with a hook...

In two seconds, the ball entered!

The orange ball "swish" sounded through the Nets, and the draw instantly made a victory!

The people onlookers cheered and everyone blew the whistle: "Damn! Today we are super amazing!"

Xingcheng stood firmly, and his first reaction was to turn his head to see Ning Xi.

Ning Xi was also sitting in place, the popsicle in his hand was almost melted, his eyebrows and eyes were handsome, and he looked so beautiful that he was so beautiful that his youthful rebellious boy was beating wildly.

The teammates squatting beside him rushed into the field, watching Xingcheng with a high spirit, and were about to be happy for him.

Xingcheng was surrounded by a group of people in the middle of the scene and was almost lifted up and thrown away. However, he was indeed taller than many of his peers and strong, so he really didn't dare to throw him away casually.

He turned his head to look at Ning Xi again, with an incomprehensible meaning in his eyes...

The latter's eyes were looking away, and he took off the popsicle and held it in his mouth. Looking at the color of the popsicle, it should be quite sweet.

Ning Xi lowered his eyes, and the wound that had just been covered by popsicles and hands was exposed. It was a slightly swollen scratch, not serious, but it looked like crimson from a distance.

The team was fighting fiercely. In anger, the player who had injured Ning Xi had an unkind look and swept towards Ning Xi with an unkind look. Xingcheng immediately picked up the mineral water bottle from his teammate's hand, raised it and pointed it to the man's forehead. The bottom of the bottle was almost pressed on the opponent's forehead.

Xingcheng's eyes seemed to lock the person in front of him tightly and not move. "Look at him for a second, you can try it."

There were a few friends from both sides who were persuaded to pull him, but no one dared to move.

Xingcheng can't calm down when he encounters this: "Apologize to my brother, or fight the bull one-on-one..."

Ning Xi didn't give up Xingcheng's face, but instead said to the boys who were making him black with a cold face: "The basketball court is not as good as the skill and tactics as people are still playing tricks. Who are you provoking?"

Xingcheng's eyebrows were furrowing tightly, and it was obvious that Ning Xi was holding his hands behind him and quietly pulling his short-sleeved hem.

He calmed down a lot in an instant, and his irritability surged in his heart, but was quietly relieved by Ning Xi's hand.

Xingcheng watched Ning Xi walk under the one-arm basketball stand, pick up the school uniform jacket and the short sleeves he changed, stand still, and then turn around.

He shook his hand, and his tall figure dragged out a slender shadow under the summer sun.

“Not interesting,”

Ning Xi yawned, covered the wounds in his arm with his school uniform, and said to Xingcheng: "Let's go, go home."

After saying that, Ning Xi turned his back and left without waiting for him. Xingcheng relaxed his hand and took a step back. All his teammates around him dispersed. They all looked at his movements, a little nervous about what he was going to do next.

Xingcheng didn't say anything, but the mineral water bottle in his hand slammed and hit the ground.

He strode under the basketball rack, took off his sweaty wrist guard this time and threw it into the trash can, and followed the back in front of him silently.

A summer afternoon football game on campus ended like this.

Xingcheng could not have participated in today's football match, but he had already planned to study hard.

He also chose liberal arts and science in his senior year, just like Ning Xi, even if the liberal arts and sciences are particularly difficult for him to learn.

In order to study with Ning Xi, he turned his campus to a day and got up half an hour early every day.

Back then, Xingcheng was the first grade and Ningxi was in the fourth grade. After finally getting to the middle school, Ningxi went to junior high school again. When high school finally arrived at a school, he could walk one by one after another, and the time he encountered in the corridor became almost the same.

Xingcheng, a junior high school student in the first year of high school, was recruited into the school team in an extraordinary manner. He had the ability to start, but he had to sit on the bench and serve as a substitute for the senior senior Ning Xi of the third year.

After Xingcheng was in his senior year, he was also very successful in playing as a substitute and was very popular for a while. Ning Xi had also retired from the basketball team and focused on studying. Although their relationship was in a sense, it was a one-sided relationship.

He didn't remember much when Xingcheng discovered that he fell in love with Ning Xi, and naturally he didn't know Ning Xi's thoughts.

What I had a vague impression was that after following Ning Xi into this high school, he saw slogans painted on the wall on the basketball court. There were a few large words, and almost one word occupied a small wall.

"Exercise for one hour every day, live a healthy life."

He stood in the court with a basketball in his arms, his hair warmed by the sun, and his eyes were motionlessly locked in the cool and agile Ning Xi on the court.

At that time, he felt that before he graduated from high school, he must take a photo with Ning Xi under the wall of "lifelong" for his life.
