Chapter 51

Spring comes very quickly.

When Xingcheng gradually took off his thick down jacket, changed into a thin jacket, slowly put on a long-sleeved sweatshirt, and changed into a short-sleeved sweatshirt, he occasionally picked up a red pen and drew a circle on the calendar, and then realized that it was already April.

The yellow-flowered chime trees planted in the city bloomed all over the streets.

Learning has entered the countdown and sprint stage. Xingcheng has not been so frequent when he goes to the hospital every week. He usually goes to the hospital three times on Monday, Friday and Sunday. Before he even entered the room, he saw a woman on the hospital bed with her eyes closed and her face next to the pillow. There was a photo of Ning Xi pressing underneath.

The photo she asked for, but Xingcheng didn't refuse.

Xingcheng always gently pushed open the door and put the things he brought into the bedside table, checked the infusion tube, and asked the doctor to come over to ask about the situation. After a while, after a long time, other patients later lived in the ward, they all thought Xingcheng was her son.

Occasionally, some people praised him. Xingcheng lowered his eyes and helped Ning Xi’s mother adjust the height of the backrest. He obviously felt that the woman’s shoulders trembled. Xingcheng didn’t speak, but just smiled with his lips and said, please help me with it.

The aunt from Ning Xi was not stupid either. Seeing Xingcheng running so hard, she asked several times and said indirectly: "Young man, are you Ning Xi's classmate or a friend?"

Xingcheng didn't say anything, Ning Xi's mother was angry on the bed and replied: "It's Ning Xi's younger brother."

The aunt was hoarse and didn't say anything. Her strange eyes lingered between the two of them. She chewed the fruits she sent from her, and helped her waist to bask in the sun.

Occasionally, Xingcheng takes Ning Xi’s mother out to bask in the sun, and Ning Xi will also call the video.

After Xingcheng waited for the mother and son to look at each other silently, he pointed the camera at him, walked aside and said, "Brother, auntie is getting more and more sleepy."

“…”

Ning Xi didn't say anything there, and didn't say a word of thank you.

He felt that these two words were too light.

In the following weeks, Xingcheng participated in several basketball trial competitions. The most famous basketball league in China also came to choose the seedlings of their team. He took a look at Xingcheng at a glance, but because Xingcheng's father did not allow his son to go to profession, he refused.

My family said that if you can’t get into a bachelor’s degree, you can just stay here and study for a junior college. It’s impossible to go to physical education. If you eat young, you will consume your body.

As for Beijing, you can go to the exam, leave it to fate. You have to grasp your own grades.

Xingcheng looked through the notebook left to him by Ning Xi every day. His grades improved and his writing became better and better. He gradually gained some pen tips. He also knew that he would do it in the exam. He no longer followed Ren Mei to draw randomly, and the whole article was full of red.

There were a few boys in their school team who couldn't hold on and asked their parents to take them home. After doing so, there were not many people left. The closer they approached the exam, they became more and more calm. The winner and the outcome were almost decided and they stopped struggling.

He was inappropriate in training and injured his elbow. Fortunately, the physical examination had passed and the problem was not big. He could still continue to take the pain after enduring the pain.

I have been used to injury from a young age, so Xingcheng didn't take this injury seriously. He usually brought an elbow guard, and he must practice postures and fixed points.

Apart from the injuries, Xingcheng is in a good mood recently. No girl on the sidelines would throw three points and show off her handsomeness when she didn't come to sit. Her teammates whistled and shouted: "Brother Cheng, she's so coquettish recently!"

There was no control over so many people who were called, and the smile on his face could not be hidden at all. The coach was sucked with a towel while running back: "What's wrong! I'm happy!"

"Broken leg, Xingcheng!" The boy who played the center received the pass thrown by the point guard, pressed it tightly with his palm, aimed at Xingcheng's direction, and made a quick attack and throw pass!

"Catch the ball!"

Xingcheng jumped up on the ground, and the jersey was lifted up by the wind to reveal a piece of abdominal muscles. He took the ball with great impact from the air, held it with both arms, then hooked the ball back, aimed at the basket and smashed it into the net!

Aerial slam dunk!

"Damn!"

"Awesome Brother Cheng! Beat NBA!"

The bench burst into cheers again, and the towel and mineral water bottle were thrown all over the floor.

Xingcheng looked at the excited faces of the junior high school students, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. He wiped the sweat on his face with a wet wipe, unable to hide the smile on the corners of his lips.

This is the power of love, what do children know!

In May, the sky is bright and the sky is bright and the fire is bright.

The physical examination is the day after tomorrow, and this afternoon is the last day of training. Xingcheng and Renmei volunteered to stay.

When he was about to say goodbye, Xingcheng suddenly realized that the training ground was not big and was closed around him, which was almost overwhelming.

It is hard to imagine that he has been in such a small place for so many days and nights, sweating profusely and bloody.

I once breathed rapidly... I was also gentle and affectionate.

Xingcheng looked at the used wristbands scattered on the ground on the ground, broken the shedding basketball, the scattered pump, and a few pieces of toilet paper thrown by the water dispenser.

Together with Ren Mei, he dragged in the big blue trash can outside, filled it with it, leaning against the door, and putting the dustpan neatly.

The entire training ground, together with the playground on campus and the basketball court in the community, constitutes a whole and voluntary running for eighteen years.

He stood in the seat of the training ground, even saluted the tall basketball hoop with Ren Mei, then walked out of the training ground side by side, took out the key to lock the iron door, and returned the key to the uncle in the security department.

It is not only the basketball court that says goodbye, but also his sweat, courage and "recklessness".

The night before the physical examination, Ning Xi pushed several things and did not go to the library to find information with his roommate. He ran to the balcony of the dormitory alone. He was about to touch a cigarette, but he remembered that he had promised Xingcheng to quit smoking.

Xingcheng said that you smoke very sexy and smell good, but it is not good for your health. You can take it slowly and reduce it a little every day. It won’t take long to endure it.

When he said this, Ning Xi remembered the first time he was caught by Xingcheng and the smoke scar on his wrist...

He lowered his eyes, looked at his fingertips, and thought about Xingcheng's advice to him to quit smoking, he pinched his fingers and kissed them one by one.

The phone dialed, and the sound of the passing of the electricity on the other side of Xingcheng was still noisy. Ning Xi felt very troubled, so the two of them slowed down their speaking speed and repeated over and over again, which made Ning Xi laugh: "Have I made it clear?"

Xingcheng was drinking water over there and saying, "You, let me, early, go to bed."

"I'll take the exam tomorrow, and I'm still so slutty." He couldn't help but scold him when he heard Xingcheng was still outside.

At that time, Ning Xi didn't know that Xingcheng's mobile phone was just an elderly phone, and he had to run to the street to get a signal.

Xingcheng was wearing a jersey that he had not taken off. At 90 o'clock in the evening, he walked step by step on the small streets near the school, and told Ning Xi about his basketball record, the games he participated in during this period, the people from which district and school were particularly grandsons, and who played street balls had weak legs as soon as he saw him...

Ning Xi likes to listen to him talk about things. Eight of the ten sentences are out of tune, but they are fun and there are always interesting points that attract Ning Xi to listen.

Xingcheng stood at the corner of the street, watching the May wind blow by the juniors who had just finished school and were rushing home desperately on their bicycles, raised their hand to touch the branches of the treetops, and half of the bright yellow fell.

"Ningxi,"

He held the phone and his voice was low. He was obviously a loud boy's voice as bright as a green sun, but he had a rare deep feeling.

"This year, we have changed the yellow-flowered chime in front of our house. Will you come back to see it?"

The next day, the physical examination encountered good weather, and Xingcheng was also a good start.

He led the team to come early and brought all his equipment. He had to go to the inspection and registration first and then take pre-examination education.

Xingcheng glanced into the hall and saw that all the sports students were divided into five groups, including basketball, volleyball, football, table tennis, and track and field. Xingcheng was still the first group.

After measuring the height, the order of basketball events is not complicated, and I have practiced many times. I easily completed the round-trip dribbling and shooting, and then the whole game.

He was familiar with the whole game and was fighting every day. People from other districts on the field recognized him. They were all facing a big enemy, but Xingcheng was relaxed. He tied the wrist guard that Ning Xi gave him, issued a medical certificate, and entered the field.

Everything went smoothly. Xingcheng won the fast break and played against the small forwards. He scored a lot of points in succession. Before the first half was over, he was already the one with the highest rebounds and scores on the court.

While running, he turned back to see the scorer. He clenched the bandage on his mouth, sweating all over his head, and his eyes were covered with sweat. His eyes were half closed. He always felt that there must be a Ning Xi sitting in the audience.

A hand-changing dribble was played, Xingcheng quickly cooperated with his unfamiliar teammates in the exam to assist in defense, and he stuck his position at the basket, successfully scored two more points!

The moment the referee whistle sounded, Xingcheng lowered his head and kissed the wrist guard on his hand.

He was injured by his elbow, which stipulated that if the candidate was slightly injured, he could only bring one protective gear to the venue. Xingcheng did not hesitate and gritted his teeth and told the coach that he would report his wrist injury.

He knew very well that in this high-intensity life-and-death game, a person's physical exercise reached a certain limit, and minor injuries were insignificant. What's more important is what can make him persist in playing the game and win this victory.

In the afternoon, I was a physical fitness test. After a standing jump, it was 100 meters and 800 meters. I did a lot of training in the same way, but I was not nervous.

The weather in Chengdu is early, and some candidates can't hold on. They can see other people's exams on the playground. Looking around, they are so tired that they are out of breath. Coupled with psychological pressure, it is very different from the usual training.

Xingcheng suddenly felt a little lucky. He was much shorter than Ning Xi back then and was very stubborn. He followed his brother's butt and learned to touch the basket every day. Ning Xi always looked at him speechlessly, and couldn't help but scold him: "Xingcheng! If you can't touch it, don't jump hard. If you sprain your ankle, you will cry!"

Bounce has always been a strong point in Xingcheng. He always scored the top spot before every game, and was incredible. As soon as he caught the ball from the air, he subconsciously turned his head to see Ning Xi who was slowly getting to the defense.

At that time, every time Xingcheng looked at Ning Xi to guard against him, his expression was indifferent, and he had only one thought in his mind, that was to rush in.

Rushly and without any scruples, rushed in.

On the last day of May, Shizhong gave a half-day holiday for his senior year.

Xingcheng's elbow injury gradually healed. His physical examination performance was too outstanding, which almost affected him holding a pen and writing. His mother was so anxious that he was crying. Xingcheng was regretful and satisfied. At least he did a very good job in the physical examination.

After coaxing her mother, who was crying like a fountain, Xingcheng also went to the bedroom to take a pen and draw, emphasizing that he could write, and now his cultural score is OK. There is no big problem with normal performance, so don’t cry!

But it seemed like he couldn't coax it, and my mother was still crying. Xingcheng couldn't help but hug her, and then she heard her mother say intermittently that she couldn't bear to leave home and go so far away. It would be so hard for her to be alone outside.

Xingcheng's throat was so blocked that he had to continue coaxing him, saying that it was not one, and Ning Xi was with him.

Unexpectedly, when the mother heard the name of "Ning Xi", she burst into tears and said that Ning Xi's child's life was too hard.

Xingcheng's heart skipped a beat. Before this "daughter-in-law" had already occupied all his position.

He changed into a regular outfit from home and went out. He was the black short-sleeved one he often wore at school last year, with daytime fireworks and patterns burned beautifully along the hem of the clothes. The NBA Thunder logo was printed on the edge of the basketball trousers. How handsome it looks.

Tonight, the school team said that the school rooftop gathered at a small gathering. When he arrived, he signed the names of each other's school uniforms in the playground. Xingcheng's dog-painted characters were much better and he dared to write them for others. After signing seven or eight pieces, his wrists were hurting.

"Hey, boss, why didn't you bring your school uniform over?" Ren Mei hit his shoulder.

Xingcheng smiled: "My school uniform is pressed by Ningxi's pillow."

"Do it! If you ask more questions, you will be fucking a mouthful of dog food."

Ren Mei smiled and scolded him, handed the pen to Xingcheng, "Sign up a good-looking one, deskmate."
