    basketball game 3

    The day when the results of the monthly exam came before the competition. Fei Zhu held a stack of test papers tremblingly and kept calming himself down, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. No one will take care of you when you are sick.”

    Then he ran to the classroom angrily and looked at them all turning into a mess. His eyes were crooked and his mouth was tilted with anger, and the breath he exhaled could melt the ice of the twelfth lunar month.

    Calling out the most excited ones, they immediately became busy, and two of them even had a confrontation.

    Zhang Jiasheng and Liang Qian must be one of them, standing in the corridor with their heads hanging down.

    “What are you doing with your heads hanging down? You are capable of messing with others, but not capable of making people look at you? Look up.”

    With a sharp shout, the two men raised their proud heads in an instant. After looking around for a while, they didn’t see where Fei Zhu was. Suddenly someone said awkwardly: “Look at me.”

    The two of them lowered their eyes to look at Little Flying Pig, but their arrogant heads did not lower. Little Flying Pig became even more angry, “Who are you with? You two really deserve to be standing here, be serious.”

    “Look at your grades. Not to say they have plummeted, but they are not bad at all. What’s going on? Are we teachers not teaching attentively enough?” Little Flying Pig paced back and forth in front of them. “Don’t tell me. This math is not lower than 140, but you should also take care of your surroundings.A person’s life and death, look at the math score of your deskmate. If you don’t kick, you will walk backwards. Which one of the people I assigned to him is poor in math?No matter what method you use for the next exam, I will see that his score improves steadily, otherwise I’ll tell you.”

    As if he remembered something again, he said: “Suppress your sneaky and sneaky ideas. If you are caught by me, I will punish you severely.”

    Then he waved them back and Shen Luo teased him without knowing the reason, but all he got in exchange was a cold look from Liang Qian.

    “If you don’t learn today, I will jump out of here.” Liang Qian held on to the window of Shen Luo’s house without letting go, pointing at the flower bed outside as if he was about to jump off.

    “If you jump today, I will jump from here too, and neither of us will have an easy time.” Shen Luo held on to the window next to him and refused to let go. She looked like a betrayed woman, and the two of them were in a stalemate.

    This was very busy for the two people in the middle. Lu Ze opened his arms to catch Shen Luo, and An Yu went to catch Liang Qian. Liang Qian made a fake move, which scared Lu Ze and ran over. “Liang Qian, don’t mess around. We have something to talk about. Learning is a step-by-step process. If Shen Luo is tired today, let him have a good rest. We will study tomorrow, the same thing.”

    An Yu: “Come down quickly, jumping down is not a joke. What if you become hemiplegic, it will be ugly.”

    Liang Qian ignored them and threatened Shen Luo, who was watching the excitement from another window: “Whether you learn or not, three people can’t teach a question in one night. It’s really a big joke in the world. It’s a big joke.”

    “Are you embarrassed to say this? How many times have you broken through a question? You…”

    Liang Qian interrupted him: “It’s not that you are too stupid.”

    “You are very rude,” Shen Luo glanced downstairs, “If I could learn how to do it, why would you sit here and teach me today? I…”

    “Then I’ve told you so many times that you know how to do it.” Liang Qian interrupted him again.

    “You’re just like a dog. You bark when others say something.” Shen Luo felt very aggrieved for a moment. He picked up the thing at hand and threw it at him. Liang Qian dodged just in time to avoid it. Lu Zeyou quickly intercepted the thing he was about to throw at him.

    “You dare to hit me.”

    Liang Qian also looked around for something he could pick up. He smashed the books on the table one by one. Shen Luo dodged most of them. It was inevitable that a few books hit his arms and shoulders. An Yu immediately stopped his movements and said, “That’s enough.”

    Only then did Liang Qian give up. Shen Luo ignored the pain in his body and kept yelling at him. The two of them argued back and forth for a long time.

    “I don’t want you to teach me, no.” Shen Luo said that he was getting more and more energetic, so he simply put one leg outside and changed into a comfortable position to prepare to fight him for another 300 rounds.

    An Yu secretly moved her body and took him down from the window when he wasn’t paying attention. Lu Ze also took the opportunity to pull Liang Qian down. After a lot of tossing, the two of them calmly sat together again, separated by the Milky Way.

    “Do you think I’m willing to teach you? If it weren’t for Little Flying Pig’s order, I could open a small stove for you here? Who doesn’t know how comfortable it is to sleep.” Liang Qian said with dignity, as if he had been wronged.

    On the other hand, Shen Luo just scoffed and exposed him mercilessly: “You are just afraid that Little Flying Pig will make your dad jealous during the parent-teacher meeting and you will get a severe meal when you go back.”

    Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, An Yu and Lu Ze pulled each other away from this place of right and wrong. The quarrel finally calmed down.

    The next day, neither of them waited for each other. When Shen Luo arrived in the classroom, he found that his deskmate had changed. Anyu sat quietly in the seat that originally belonged to Liang Qian, while Liang Qian sat in the back and became Lu Ze’s new deskmate. Shen Luo became even more angry and directly gave his schoolbag a 360° pendulum, which almost hit Anyu’s face. He ducked back and happened to pass by him.

    “It’s finally clean. There’s no one else making noise, and the air is fresh.”

    This action attracted the attention of other people in the classroom. The air was stagnant for a moment, and then returned to normal.

    Liang Qian saw the bruises on Shen Luo’s arm, which were caused by being hit yesterday. Then he rolled his eyes to the sky and said to himself: “Whoever cares about you anymore is a dog.”

    “Anyone who listens to him again will be a bitch.”

    A few days later, the basketball game came as scheduled. Ever since the two had a falling out, the training process had always been inconsistent, so it never happened again.

    The school hired the largest stadium in Anseong to hold the competition, which was enough to accommodate the entire school. The competition site was packed with people, and as far as the eye could see, they were all densely packed with heads.

    Sorted by class, the students in Class 7 not only wore eye-catching clothes, but also had particularly eye-catching banners.

    “Seven teams are undefeated and will last forever.”

    An Yu was sitting right under the banner, covering his eyes and feeling a little embarrassed, but judging from the atmosphere, it seemed that he was the only one who felt this way. The other students shouted more and more loudly. An Yu blocked his ears and found an opportunity to sneak out. Unknowingly, he ran to the backstage. The numbers of each class were hung on the door. He looked for the number and walked back. A person walking towards him in the corridor stopped him. An Yu frowned and looked at him.

    Zhang Wei, captain of the basketball team, recognized him at a glance and shook hands with him immediately. An Yu didn’t remember it at first, but after hearing him introduce himself, he said that his impression was false.

    “You know, a senior in Class 1 is very good at basketball. The physical education teacher wants him to join the provincial team. He might be able to stand on the national podium in the future.” The look of admiration on Ren Hao’s face when he talked about him made Zhang Wei curious.

    Ren Hao pointed to An Yu who was wearing a red basketball jersey on the basketball court. Zhang Wei followed his gaze and looked at him. A ball happened to go into the basket as if it had been set. An Yu was doing the same shooting action as before. He tilted his head and stared at the basket with a casual attitude. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It happened to be that the sun was about to set. Against the golden setting sun, he outlined his victor’s smile. No one would be tempted to watch it.

    Zhang Wei wanted to walk in and get a more realistic look. When he was lost in thought, a basketball flew over. Before he could react, a figure stood in front of him and stopped him with his hand. Then he turned around and comforted him: “It’s okay. Stay away when watching football in the future, otherwise you won’t be so lucky next time.”

    After saying that, a group of people gathered around him, took his hand and looked left and right. An Yu quickly comforted him and pushed them away and said, “It’s okay, Zhuang Yi, you should be more careful next time, otherwise I won’t help you if your sister finds out.”

    Zhuang Yi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “No, I treat you to milk tea as an expression of my apology.”

    Seeing that he refused to accept it, he started to play the bitter card: “Take it, otherwise my conscience will be uneasy. If my sister finds out, I almost hit someone. If you don’t eat me alive, it’s almost as good as saving my life.”

    Zhang Wei didn’t want to accept it at first, but Zhuang Yi’s sincere look defeated him. That day, the news spread that Zhuang Yi invited the entire basketball court to drink milk tea. There were at least a hundred or so people in the playground at that time. Not one of them was left behind, and they all got it. Many people started to be obsessed with him from then on.

    After that, Zhang Wei became obsessed with basketball. He would go to the playground whenever he had time, even if he was alone.

    He was very talented and learned quickly. He improved by leaps and bounds in just a few weeks. When he was playing with Ren Hao, a beautiful pass happened to be caught by the coach who came to select players. He looked at the spot for a long time as if he had seen a good talent, and waited for them to finish before moving forward.

    After the coach left, he still looked athletic. Ren Hao jumped up and blocked his neck and said, “Okay, you, the teacher will be impressed by you so quickly.”

    “After three days of separation, I treat you with even greater admiration.” Zhang Wei patted his hand away, “Wait for me to change clothes.”

    After entering each team, he discovered that the people inside were all selected by the coaches. There were many people like him, which made him never relax for a moment. He had to keep studying and improve in training. He could only work harder. Fortunately, he did not let himself down and competed in the provincial competition with the first place in the team.

    On the eve of the game, the coach called An Yu for them, but he looked like he was lacking in interest. The zipper of his school uniform was hanging loosely in his mouth, and his looming neck was swinging at the wide collar. He looked like he was forced to come here. Under the pressure of the coach, he casually said a few words, which eased their tense atmosphere before the game. They listened very seriously after he talked a lot.

    Zhang Wei raised his hand and asked: “Senior, can I ask you why you don’t want to play the game if you are playing so well?”

    An Yu thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and said, “That’s not the ambition.”

    “What a shame.”

    Suddenly someone said something, and An Yu looked at him and explained: “It’s a pity not to have it. This is my own choice. You can choose to take this path, but you can’t force others to choose the same path as you.”

    “If you fight well, you will bring glory to the country. If you fight poorly, don’t be discouraged. After all, there are people outside the country.

    You guys, just try your best. Success or failure is actually not that important. No one will win all the time, and no one will lose all the time, except me.”

    “Wow wow wow”

    “Remember, being humble may not make you happy, but praising yourself will certainly make you happy.”

    “Remember.”

    Soon An Yu left. They wanted to fight like chickens. Not only did their cooperation and enthusiasm reach a climax, the coach looked at them as if he saw the victory trophy waving to him.

    “It’s a pity. If he came, I wouldn’t have to worry about this or that. Although Zhang Wei is talented, he is still far behind him. God wants me to die in No. 1.”

    “Didn’t the seniors participate in this competition?”

    Although An Yu listened to him, he kept looking at the number plate on the door and only took the time to answer him: “No, not interested.”

    “Sorry, I have something else to do.”

    After saying that, he left Zhang Wei and walked to the corner. Zhang Wei watched him walk to the fitting room of Class 7 and enter. When he was stunned, Ren Hao came over and called him to discuss countermeasures. Zhang Wei asked him: “Which class are we playing with?”

    “Class 7,” Ren Hao didn’t know why, but he still told him, “I just smoked it. Why, you know someone, how about we let him go?”

    “No, let’s go back and prepare first.”

    “Brother.”

    As soon as Zhang Wei entered the door, he was hugged by a lively and cheerful girl and shook her arms. Her voice was refreshing and smart. Zhang Wei was surprised, “Why are you here?”

    “Of course it’s for you.” Zhang Wei fondly touched Zhang Li’s head and said, “Why are you still so unstable? If you don’t want to go outside, just stay here.”

    “Brother, I’m here to cheer you on. How can I hide here? By the way, let me introduce you. This is my friend, her name is Jiang Wangshu. She is very shy.” Zhang Li whispered to him.

    “Hello, my name is Zhang Wei.” Zhang Wei nodded to her with slightly red cheeks. He wanted to reach out to her but felt a little abrupt, so he gave up when he saw that the other party had no such idea.

    “Hello, my name is Jiang Wangshu.” Jiang Wangshu said the words he had practiced for a long time, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

    “I’ll be playing soon. Find a good seat and sit down.” Zhang Wei gently took his hand away and went to prepare what he needed.

    As soon as An Yu entered the door, he saw Shen Luo in the corner. He was changing clothes and deliberately hiding in the corner. He looked a little shy and had a blush on his face, but the temperature here was not too high.

    He walked straight over. Shen Luo had already changed. Liang Qian walked in and threw the sign aside. Zhang Jiasheng, who came back with him, sat there and sighed. People who didn’t know why gathered around him. Only Shen Luo and An Yu were standing aside, while he was still changing clothes.

    “How’s it going?”

    “Have you smoked?”

    “Who smoked?”

    “Say it quickly?”

    Someone picked up the sign and shouted, “Class Four.”

    A group of people looked at him. Ding Lei felt that the sign in his hand was a little hot. The group of people who gathered around dispersed as if they were frightened. The atmosphere in the changing room instantly dropped to freezing point. An Yu looked at Shen Luo, who did not take the matter seriously, and asked, “Aren’t you worried?”

    “Can you win by worrying?” Shen Luo asked.

    “What if?”

    “One in ten thousand.” Shen Luo sighed.

    After hearing his words, the people in the lounge sighed again in unison.

    “But no matter what, you can’t be a coward. You can be beaten so that you can’t get up, but you can’t be looked down upon and can’t get up.”

    Shen Luo was open-minded, and there were many people who wanted to boost morale again, but it seemed to be of little use. At this time, Little Flying Pig broke in, looking at a room full of bean sprouts, and felt resentful that iron could not be transformed into steel.

    “Usually you act like a weakling who cannot be beaten, but now your head is as low as a bean sprout. Where did your usual energy to compete with me go? Show it all. Victory or defeat is not to be feared. What I am afraid of is your defeat. Fight hard. Regardless of victory or defeat, I will definitely give you a celebration banquet.”

    After listening to this, some people’s worries gradually subsided and they returned to their careless appearance, and the quiet lounge became full of life again.

    The tense preparation period soon passed, and the competition slowly reached its climax. The sunshine slowly became venomous, as if it wanted to penetrate everyone’s body and swim in every cell. Class 7 aroused extremely high cheers as soon as they came on the stage. The flags on the field waved more violently, and the cheers were deafening. An Yu took out the earplugs prepared in advance and plugged her ears, and the whole world suddenly became quiet.

    Ding Lei kept pulling at the corner of his clothes, trying to hand him the small flag in his hand. An Yu raised his hand to signal to him. Although Ding Lei didn’t know when his wrist was injured, he didn’t force him. He waved the two flags wildly. An Yu pulled on another hat, covering most of the sun on his face in an instant, and drank the happy water leisurely.

    Before the two groups even touched the ball, sweat was pouring out from their bodies. After a while, Shen Luo’s eyelashes were balled up, and his eye circles were slightly red, looking like he had just cried.

    Liang Qian waved his hands in a circle towards the audience. He was particularly excited when he saw Class 7 and wanted to throw his hands away. The response he received was also extremely enthusiastic.

    Zhang Li took his good friend and sat at an excellent seat. Jiang Wangshu was a little introverted and silently clenched his hands. Zhang Li slowly tightened his arms and asked her: “Yueyue, what’s wrong with you?”

    Jiang Wangshu shook his head, gave her a reassuring smile and said, “It’s okay, it’s just that the surroundings haven’t been so lively in a long time.”

    “Then you should go out for more walks in the future, and don’t hold onto the book all day long, so that you can have some romantic encounters or something.”

    After Zhang Li finished speaking, her face instantly turned red, and he stopped teasing her, “Okay, let’s not talk anymore, let’s watch the game.”

    Zhang Jiasheng spread his charm like a peacock spreading its wings. Shen Luo silently took two steps to other places. Then he turned around and saw Liang Qian doing some strange actions. He frowned and each of them rolled his eyes and said: “A pair of conspicuous bags, I’m really impressed.”

    “Without further ado, let’s get to the point. The first basketball friendship competition of Anseong No. 1 Middle School is about to begin. Let us uphold the principle of friendship first and competition second to welcome the birth of the champion.”

    As the host introduced the game to a climax, the audience seemed to be more energetic than the players on the stage, shouting and almost losing their breath.

    The cheers from the audience outside the field made every player gear up and eager to try.

    When Liang Qian and the others came out with the four groups, the shouts from the audience were even more deafening. He couldn’t help but feel psychological pressure, but he quickly relaxed and cheered himself up.

    First they shook hands in a friendly manner, and with a whistle, the two sides began to compete. The people who were originally gathered together slowly dispersed.

    In the first half, Class 4 had an absolute lead and widened the gap between them. Zhang Jiasheng looked at the numbers on the big screen and couldn’t help but feel a little worried. He rubbed his face and said, “Why are you chasing after us? Why are you still playing? Why don’t you go home and go to bed.”

    “Why are there no fighting spirit at all? The competition is only halfway through. There is no reason to give up halfway. Besides, the school held this competition to let us relax. If there is still so much pressure, wouldn’t it be counterproductive?”

    Then they resurrected with full health, raised their fighting spirit, and decided that even if they lost, they couldn’t lose so humiliatingly.

    A third of the way into the second half, the score slowly began to level, and Fei Zhudu, who was sitting in the audience watching the excitement, couldn’t help but feel excited.

    An Yu lay there half-quietly and was out of tune with the frenzied state of the people around him. He lowered his eyes and could not clearly see the emotions in his eyes. He only felt that his heart was not on the game.

    Time passed minute by minute, and the game was not over yet. Maybe it was too long and the sun couldn’t wait. I wanted to take a closer look. Two-thirds of the game was done. Zhao Zhewen passed the ball to Zhang Jiacheng, but he was already surrounded by water, so he had to change the target. Looking left and right, Shen Luo’s role in this game was not very attractive.Paying attention, he then threw the ball to Shen Luo. When Shen Luo saw the ball flying towards him, he jumped up to catch it. Zhang Wei saw his intention and immediately ran to Shen Luo. When Shen Luo took off, he also jumped into the air and stretched his hands towards the ball. The audience and other people’s hearts were raised at the throat, staring at the two of them to see who could grab the ball.

    As a result, Zhang Wei hit the ball one step ahead of Shen Luo and hit the ball towards Ren Hao behind him, while he landed smoothly. Shen Luo was not so lucky. The two of them were too close and stepped on Zhang Wei’s fallen foot, causing him to fall straight down.

    When everyone was confused, An Yu had already stood up and rushed to the court. He jumped over the hurdles handsomely and landed on the court. He quickly ran to his side. Fei Zhu became more and more anxious and couldn’t find the exit.

    Liang Qian squeezed out of the crowd and ran to the lounge. Even though he had exercised vigorously just now, he still did not slow down. He tossed and turned in the lounge. The more anxious he became, the less he could find anything. In the end, he was still not low.

    Seeing someone rushing forward, everyone realized that someone was in trouble. The audience fell silent for an instant, and then there was another round of discussion.

    Zhang Wei was also knocked to the ground by his foot. The group of people looked at him and tried their best to hold back their laughter, and hurriedly helped him up. Shen Luo’s condition was not good. His ankle was swollen to two inches and no one could touch it. Fortunately, the school prepared a medical vehicle in advance.

    Liang Qian came over and saw his miserable state and immediately squeezed out of the crowd and ran to the lounge. Even though he had exercised vigorously just now, he still did not slow down. He tossed and turned in the lounge, and the more anxious he became, the less he could find anything. Finally, he finally found the medical kit he brought and rushed out. He came to the infield out of breath, and saw An Yu picking him up and walking out of the stadium without saying a word.

    When I came out of the crowd, the discussion in the audience became clearer. Everyone stretched their heads to see, and the flashlights kept flashing.

    “I declare that I agree with them being together.”

    “It’s so awesome.”

    “Sure enough, knocking on anything just makes me feel refreshed.”

    “I filmed it and I want to pass it on to my son.”

    “How should I put it? I can only say that the two of them are equally matched.”

    These words more or less fell into Shen Luo’s ears. She blushed from the roots of her ears to her collar. In order not to be seen by others, she buried her head in An Yu’s shoulder.

    “My dear wife, I like her. I hope to be a boy in my next life. For no other reason than to give all boys a home.”

    Shen Luo’s feet hurt, but his head hurt when their words floated into his ears. His hands holding An Yu tightened and he held his head deeper.

    An Yu lowered his head and saw the side face of his red head, and asked softly: “What’s wrong? It hurts. Be honest, otherwise it will hurt even more.”

    “No, it’s a bit tingling,” Shen Luo struggled weakly, and his voice became lower and lower, “Is there something on your wrist? It hurts me so much.”

    An Yu then remembered that she still had this bracelet on her wrist, and said to Shen Luo randomly: “Hold me tight.”

    Shen Luo’s obedient hands tightened, and An Yu freed one hand to take off the bracelet and let Shen Luo hold it for him. Shen Luo grabbed the bracelet without showing his face and told him to leave quickly. The way out was not long, but Shen Luo felt that life was only so long. He finally made it to the exit, and the car was already waiting outside.

    Ding Lei froze on the spot holding the two flags. When he saw An Yu hugging Shen Luo and leaving, he said to himself: “Don’t his wrists hurt? Isn’t this better?”

    The people next to him teased him for not understanding Fengyue, “Just believe what he says. Boy, you are still too naive. Go back and read romance novels for two more years.”

    Ding Lei was still stunned on the spot. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, but he still couldn’t figure out why he had to read romance novels for two more years and what the relationship was.

    Due to this small episode, this game had to be abandoned. After a short adjustment, the next game started. Everyone changed from the excitement just now to a whirlpool of excitement.

    An Yu put Shen Luo into the arriving medical car and drove to the hospital. After the car drove away, Liang Qian also got out of it, stopped a car and chased him out. Only in the car did he have time to take a good rest.

    After coming out of the hospital, one of Shen Luo’s feet was put in a plaster, and he was limping out with the support of An Yu and Liang Qian. The crutch was hung on Liang Qian’s free arm.

    An Yu settled Shen Luo down and specifically told him to wait where he was and not run around. “Just wait for me where you are and I’ll drive.”

    Shen Luo also nodded obediently. After An Yu left, he stared at his straight foot and compared it with the other one. He was really a father and a son. Liang Qian stared at his foot and rubbed his chin, then squeezed it with his hand. Shen Luo raised one foot, as if Liang Qian would kick him out with a little force the next second.

    He still refused to give up and wanted to stand up to see if he could still walk alone. As soon as he stood up, Liang Qian pushed him down. “Don’t you want to do it anymore? Just stay there.”

    Shen Luo still wanted to stand up and said, “I’m just going to try to see if I can walk. It’s impossible for someone to stay with me all the time.”

    As he said that, he held on to the armrest next to him and started to move. As soon as he stood up, he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. Liang Qian went to help him, but as soon as he reached out, he was in vain.

    Fortunately, he quickly stabilized his body and walked hard like a dull penguin. For a while, he felt that he had walked a lot. When he looked back, it was only two or three steps at a normal pace. Suddenly he felt like a funny clown. At this time, Liang Qian was also snickering at him. Shen Luo rolled his eyes, turned around and wanted to walk back. When he turned around, An Yu stood beside the bench and looked at him helplessly with his arms folded, but Liang Qian was nowhere to be found.

    “Didn’t you agree to sit on the bench and wait for me?”

    Shen Luo’s face was flushed with embarrassment after being caught. He lowered his head and said, “Oh, I’m sorry.”

    “You did nothing wrong and there is no need to apologize. Liang Qian went to get the medicine. Let’s go to the car and wait for him.”

    An Yu took his arm and held his waist with the other hand. Shen Luo’s whole body froze, like a straight log, and he did not dare to make any unnecessary movements. At this time, most of his body was leaning on An Yu’s body, and he was able to walk entirely with his strength.

    Slowly An Yu’s hands tightened, and the warmth in his palms moved to Shen Luo’s waist, as if a fire was burning. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his constant swallowing exposed his uneasy heart at the moment.

    An Yu opened the car door for him. Shen Luo hesitated and refused to step forward. He looked into the car with a distorted face and subconsciously held his breath. Seeing that he refused to move, An Yu stared at him for no apparent reason. Shen Luo, who was in a dilemma, had no choice but to sit in and sit in. As soon as he got in, his entire nasal cavityIt was all filled with the smell inside the car, and the small smell became infinite in his nasal cavity. Shen Luo kept his eyes closed and held his breath, just hoping that Liang Qian would come back soon. An Yu noticed something was wrong with him and opened the window, and Shen Luo felt that he was alive.

    “Next time, just tell me directly if you have something to do. Don’t hold it back.”

    The two chatted for a while, and Liang Qian finally came back with medicine. Shen Luo urged him to get in the car quickly as if he saw a life-saving straw. An Yu’s driving skills were good and he got home smoothly. Shen Luo got out of the car without waiting for anyone to help him, and leaned against a street light, gasping for air.

    An Yu wanted to help him but was declined. He wanted to go up by himself, with two people escorting him behind. There were very few people in the community during dinner time, and there were only three of them in the elevator. The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

    Liang Qian was laughing so hard in the living room that he was out of breath, while An Yu was busy in and out of the kitchen. Shen Luo became Liang Qian’s toy for entertainment, and every word and every move he made touched the point of his laughter.

    Two hours later, there was only a bowl of porridge on the table. The three of them stared at the bowl of porridge, “This is what you worked so hard for more than two hours to make. It only takes half an hour to order a takeaway. It’s even more delicious than what you made.”

    “Then you didn’t tell me earlier.”

    An Yu slammed the table and complained about them. Liang Qian laughed angrily and snorted: “You slapped your chest and belly and vowed to cook. Who knew you could do this with such a confident look?”

    “Let’s order takeout. What do you want to eat?”

    “I’m not hungry, you can eat.”

    Shen Luo completely lost his appetite and limped back to the bedroom, leaving the two of them to do what they wanted. Liang Qian and him looked at each other awkwardly and turned back to their house. An Yu tidied up the living room and went out after receiving the call.

    Note
