Translator:Henyee TranslationsEditor:Henyee Translations
An Xiaxia and Su Xiaomo asked in unison.
Mu Li chewed on her lip and chose her words carefully before saying, He was injured because of some family affair That was why he couldnt come to the game. Hes a short-tempered and stubborn person and never explains anything to other people, so everyone thought he was only being capricious when he didnt show up. Actually, hes been practicing until very late everyday before this!
At that, An Xiaxia and Su Xiaomo felt silent.
It turned out that they had been mistaken about Qi Yanxi
Family affair it couldnt have been domestic violence, could it? An Xiaxia and Su Xiaomo exchanged a look and saw the concern in each others eyes.
Weve lost a game and our ranking has dropped a lot. The next game is against Chenjiang and theyre the strongest school team in Yu City. If we lose again, well be eliminated, right? An Xiaxia sighed.
Chenjiang was even stronger than Shengyin. How could they possibly win?
Chenjian has Tang Yu the fiend and the top player in the district team. I bet hell make it into the national team in a few years! Su Xiaomo wailed.
There was no hope for Qixia with such a team as their opponent!
The cheer squad had their practice as usual, but no one was in the mood and everyone simply stood around.
The coach was fully aware of the current situation and could only dismiss the squad early so that they could go home and adjust their mindset.
Meanwhile, the basketball team was also practicing dispiritedly.
They all knew that Qixias wins were built on Qi Yanxis attack, Kang Jians defense, and the captain Ling Jiyes three-pointers. Now that the first two were absent, it was only natural that morale was low.
A tall figure walked toward them with steady steps and a calm face.
He stood in front of Ling Jiye and smiled at the surprised faces around him.
Hello. Im here to join the basketball team.
An Xiaxia was stuck on another difficult question while doing her homework that night.
She tried to search for help online, but the question was too unconventional and the search came back empty.
Who should she ask? Papa An? He was probably still busy in the coffee shop. An Yibei? Hm no, he would definitely laugh at her!
After much consideration, An Xiaxia finally took the familiar trip upstairs with her exercise book and knocked on Sheng Yizes door.
Come in. At the concise reply, An Xiaxia pushed the door open and stuck her little head in.
Sheng Yize darted a look in her direction at the sound and was visibly surprised to find An Xiaxia there.
He paused the video playing on his computer and rose to his feet. Whats wrong?
I dont know how to do this problem An Xiaxia said sheepishly.
Dummy! The one-word evaluation shattered An Xiaxias fragile little heart.
Im a dummy compared with you. When theres comparison, theres humiliation An Xiaxia had accepted that fact by now.
Sheng Yize took her exercise book. Which problem?
An Xiaxia pointed with her fair and soft finger. Sheng Yize gave the problem a quick glance, then explained it to her.
An Xiaxias eyes shifted to the computer on his desk.
Wait, werent those basketball tactics?
Why are you watching this? An Xiaxia couldnt help but ask.
Sheng Yize narrowed his eyes, then gave her a stern look. What do you think I should watch, then?
Um According to Kang Jian, boys their age all watched films with a little action. Was that the case with Sheng Yize as well?
An Xiaxia imagined Sheng Yize watching porn in her head and chuckled involuntarily.
Pat, pat, pat
Sheng Yize tapped the table with her exercise book and couldnt stand it anymore. Stop laughing or Im throwing you out!
