The King's Game

After the new semester started, all the students in the class were exchanging with each other with great interest what they did during the winter vacation besides going back to their hometown during the Chinese New Year. Qi You’s buddy and deskmate Jiang Yuan also came over, winked and said, “How about Qi You?” Comrade? Didn't you have a good time this holiday?"

Qi You was a little confused, holding a pen to record the registration and lateness of his classmates on the roster, and asked Jiang Yuan: "What do you mean?"

"I heard someone said that when they were shopping in the pedestrian street, they saw you hanging out with the class next door! Are you successful?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"...Who did you listen to?"

"Hey, I just heard someone say it when I was passing by the next class. Isn't this kind of thing spread all over the place? I guess our class will know about it in a few days." Jiang Yuan has quite experience in this, There was also a rumor about Qi You and Xu Yan before, and it spread within half a day.

Qi You frowned, and stopped the pen in his hand: "I just met her by chance, and there was Jiang Nan at that time."

"Jiang Nan? You mean the transfer student?" Jiang Yuan subconsciously glanced at the boy who was sitting in the corner with his head down and didn't know what he was writing: "Why is he here?"

"Yeah, he's here too, what a coincidence," Qi You rolled his eyes at him, "What do you believe in what other people say?"

Jiang Yuan smiled embarrassedly: "Isn't this a matter of caring about your life, brother?"

"Every time you are the first to tell me about the class next door, I wonder if you are interested in her?" Qi You raised his eyebrows and glanced at him again.

"Wow, don't slander my innocence, I'm wholeheartedly for Miss Xu!" Jiang Yuan patted his chest to reassure, but his voice was a little lower than before, as if he was afraid that someone would hear him.

Xu Jingna, who was not far away, glanced here inadvertently, and happened to meet Jiang Yuan's eyes. Jiang Yuan quickly smiled meanly and waved to her, but the other party rolled his eyes and turned his head to ignore him.

Jiang Yuan buried his head and patted his chest with lingering fear: "Fortunately I didn't hear it."

"I said you..." Qi You couldn't help complaining: "Why do you still fight against others when you like her?"

"Isn't it just to get her attention? Look, in those idol dramas, which actor didn't make the heroine fall in love with him like this? Besides, look at my face, look at my family's situation, I seem to need to slap my face Are you actively chasing people? Of course you are waiting for people to chase me! Otherwise, how unstyled?"

In fact, Qi You doesn't think he is more stylish now.Although Jiang Yuan's appearance is indeed good and his family background is also very good, but he is a bit stupid and his brain circuit is a bit different from ordinary people. How he made friends with this person in the first place is often a question that Qi You needs to think about seriously.

"Come on, let's see if you don't kill yourself one day." Qi You finally came to this conclusion.

--------

In the first physical education class after the start of school, students have to choose a sport they want to learn. Most people choose table tennis because it is an indoor sport, and it consumes less energy than basketball and football. In this class, Jiang Nan followed the crowd and joined the table tennis team, but accidentally saw Qi You also there.

Jiang Nan was a little dazed. He thought that Qi You would definitely take the basketball class. After all, there was no saying in their school that they could not take the same physical education class in different semesters. However, when they saw Qi You, they kept dragging him, as if he was afraid that he would run away. Far away, Jiang Nan understood again.

Qi You really wanted to take a basketball class at first, but Jiang Yuan kept persuading him that he had played enough basketball in normal times, so he had to play some new tricks in the last physical education class, why bother to bask in the sun, etc. In the end, it was actually just because Xu Jingna chose table tennis, and he wanted to follow.

"It's fine if you come here by yourself, why do you have to drag me?" Qi You wondered.

"We are good brothers! And don't you want to watch me have fun?"

"..."

Do you think I'm you?Qi You thought to himself silently, this is really the first time he sees the idiot who wants others to watch his excitement.

"Don't think that if you don't speak, I won't be able to see that you are planning me in your heart!" Jiang Yuan looked at Qi You sadly.

Qi You said bluntly: "Are you afraid of facing Xu Jingna alone and just say it straight, I won't laugh at you."

Jiang Yuan's expression changed drastically, and he started a naive chasing game with Qi You, and they both returned to the team embarrassedly until they were called by the physical education teacher.

"The next step is to divide into groups. Since our class is about table tennis, we need two groups. But I counted the number of people just now. There are 31 people in total. The ball table is enough, but it is not easy to group, everyone. Is there anyone willing to go to another class?"

The students whispered to each other, but no one was willing to leave for a long time.

Jiang Nan has been watching Qi You and Jiang Yuan fight from a distance, it took him a long time to realize what the teacher said, he looked left and right, they all came in groups, only he was standing alone at the very edge, I wanted to stand up and take the initiative to go to another class, but I couldn't muster up the courage, so I could only stand there in a dilemma.

"Teacher," a girl said suddenly: "There should be 32 people, but my classmate just felt unwell and went to the infirmary."

The teacher nodded knowingly: "That's it, then forget it, but who are you with in this class? Or..."

The sentence that the teacher will be with you has not been uttered yet, and suddenly a loud male voice rang out: "How about I be with you?"

Everyone looked over in unison, Jiang Yuan was talking too much, and regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, facing everyone's eyes, he was about to retract his words cheekily, when the teacher nodded with a very understanding face: "Okay, then you Let's form a team with... this female classmate, is there any classmate who would like to give a face and form a team with the teacher?"

"You are so kind." Qi You looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile that was not a smile, and Jiang Yuan was terrified: "Brother, I didn't do it on purpose. I can't help it after the teacher said so? You, you, you, you, who is suitable? You Find someone else to be with?"

The sharp-eyed people around had already noticed the situation on Qi You's side, and Jiang Nan naturally saw it too. He almost immediately formed an idea in his mind, thinking that he might be able to take this opportunity to be in a group with Qi You, and felt his heart beating fast. Quickly, he was so excited that a stream of heat continued to surge upwards, all the way to his face, he stood on the spot and took a deep breath and tremblingly said: "Qi You, I, I can be with you..."

However, before he finished speaking, several people gathered around him: "Sir, will you join me as a team?"

"Squad leader, I don't know how to fight, can you teach me?"

"Squad leader, will you know? I am very good and I can teach you!!!"

Jiang Nan: "..."

He withdrew his gaze from looking at Qi You, hating himself for being so gutless for the first time in his heart.

The distance was only a few steps, he only dared to stand far away, he didn't dare to go forward, and it didn't take long for him to feel that he could no longer squeeze into that circle.

Qi You had noticed Jiang Nan not far away, who lowered his head like a frosted eggplant, and heard the other party's quiet voice.

I don't know what this guy has experienced before, so timid.

In fact, Qi You noticed that Jiang Nan was also in this class as early as when the group was divided, and even after the teacher finished speaking, he had a full view of the other party's embarrassment and hesitation. At that time, he was thinking about whether to abandon Jiang Yuan. It's gone, but it's just good for Jiang Yuan to leave by himself at this time. (Jiang Yuan: Hey, hey! Plastic brotherhood?)

When he started to practice, Jiang Nan looked around. Like the scene just now, everyone came together, but he was a new transfer, and he was not familiar with everyone. Naturally, no one took the initiative to partner with him. Teacher He has a very good personality, not to mention his playing skills. Several classmates have already gone to him, so he simply thought that there are only odd numbers of people here, and there will always be someone left who has to be with him.

Suddenly, he felt someone tap his shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw Qi You's smiling face.

"together?"

The little heart that was sinking just now seemed like a flower in full bloom, no, like a flower exploded, so much so that Jiang Nan stared blankly at Qi You and forgot to answer.

Qi You was already used to the other party's appearance, so he stuffed the ping-pong racket he just got into Jiang Nan's hand: "Just now, you wanted to be in a team with me, right? I'm not presumptuous, right?"

Jiang Nan came back to his senses, gripped the racket tightly, and shook his head quickly.

"Then let's go, they have taken over the table here, let's go over there." Qi You winked at him, then walked away with his arms around his shoulders like the last time in the mall.

Jiang Nan walked very stiffly. He knew that as a boy, it was normal for Qi You to treat his buddies like this, but he couldn't keep calm when it was his turn.

Qi You noticed Jiang Nan's uneasiness, and realized something and let go of his hand: "Are you not used to others touching you like this?"

In fact, Qi You is not so familiar with every new classmate. It is really painful for Jiang Nan to look at him carefully, and he can't help but want to get closer.

Hearing this, Jiang Nan immediately wanted to deny that, deep down in his heart, he actually hoped that Qi You could keep his arms around him like this, but when he thought about his reaction just now, he was afraid that he would lose his composure in front of the other party, so he nodded or shook his head for a while no.

Seeing his tangled look, Qi You burst out laughing, he just thought that everyone has different habits, some people may mind others touching themselves like this, but Jiang Nan's reaction is really funny: "What are you so nervous about?" ? Did I give you a big problem?"

After hearing this, Jiang Nan realized that the other party might have misunderstood him because he hated the other party touching him because of his reaction, and immediately regretted the hesitation just now. Just as he was about to say that he didn't mind at all, Qi You patted him on the head. Then he let out a low laugh: "Okay, don't be in a daze, go over quickly, the teacher is watching this way."

Jiang Nan had no choice but to nod, and followed the opponent to the table in a daze.

"Can you play table tennis?" Qi You asked.

Jiang Nan shook his head. He had only seen the posture of those sports stars holding rackets on TV, but he had never practiced it.

"Actually, I'm not very good at it. I've played before, but not very well. Let's listen to what the teacher has to say in a while, shall we?"

"En." Jiang Nan nodded.

Qi You couldn't help teasing him: "Why do you nod or shake your head every time I talk to you? It makes me look like a chatterbox."

Jiang Nan panicked and squeezed out a sentence: "Then, what do you want me to say? I will try to say as much as possible."

Qi You was taken aback, and casually said a joke, but he didn't expect the other party to take it seriously.

"I just don't know what to say, I just nod and shake my head, and I didn't mean not to take your words well, right..."

"I'm just kidding," Qi You interrupted the other party's habitual apology, and said helplessly, "You don't need to apologize to me, and I'll be really angry if I hear you say sorry again."

Jiang Nan shut his mouth in fright when he heard the last sentence.

Qi You was speechless, and after a while, for some reason, he felt that this guy was very cute, and also quite painful.
