The No. [-] Middle School drew Yucai this year, and some people in the team began to sigh.Yucai didn't say how good his playing skills are, but he is rather lazy and likes to use dirty tricks. Last year, he found two foreign players alone.

After confirming the list of players, every night after evening self-study, I have to practice in the basketball room.Chen Xing suddenly regretted that he couldn't cook Zhou Chen's meal, and asked him to come to school to practice.

After Zhou Chen arrived at night, the basketball team was surprised, Qi Feng asked Zhou Chen: "Why are you?"

Zhou Chen looked dazed, and Chen Xing was equally dazed. A member of the team explained, "Someone posted your photo on our school post. You are very popular in our school."

Chen Xing: "..." When did it happen, why didn't I know?

Zhou Chen: "Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Chen."

After greeting the players, after warming up, I tried to play a few games first.Chen Xing and Shen Chengyan usually play with them, everyone knows their level, but they don't know what level Zhou Chen is, so they let Zhou Chen be the power forward, Chen Xing the center, Xu Xin the point guard, and Shen Chengyan And Qi Feng is in another team.

Chen Xing and Zhou Chen have never played together, but the tacit understanding is unexpectedly good. Several shots of Shen Chengyan were intercepted by Zhou Chen on the rim. When Chen Xing shot, Zhou Chen also protected him very well. .It was 11:9 between the two sides after a game. Zhou Chen sat on the chair next to him and drank water. His back was already wet, and the sweat on his forehead slid down his temples. His Adam's apple went up and down, and Chen Xing looked hot all over.

After Zhou Chen drank half of the bottle of water, Chen Xing took the remaining half of the bottle. The people around him were stunned, and Xu Xin and Shen Chengyan turned their faces away silently.

Chen Xing asked his teammates to take two tissues, handed one to Zhou Chen and said, "I didn't even know you played so well."

"I think it's okay. I haven't played for a long time. My university is also on the school team." Zhou Chen wiped the sweat off his face with a tissue, and threw the paper into the trash can.

Chen Xing smiled and asked, "Is it the captain?"

Zhou Chen shook his head: "No, our captain played very well."

Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and asked Zhou Chen, "Are you handsome?"

Zhou Chen rubbed Chen Xing's head with a smile: "Not as handsome as you, but as strong as a mountain."

Qi Feng next to him finally couldn't hold back his gossip. He had never seen Chen Xing smile like this before. He turned around and asked Xu Xin in a low voice, "What's the relationship between Zhou Chen and Chen Xing?"

Xu Xin looked at Shen Chengyan for help, Shen Chengyan took the mineral water from Xu Xin's hand, unscrewed the bottle cap and put it back in Xu Xin's hand, and finally walked away silently.

Xu Xin lowered his voice and said, "Zhou Chen, it was Chen Xing's uncle, but don't tell anyone else."

Qi Feng suddenly realized: "Oh, no wonder the relationship between the two is so good."

Xu Xin: "..." Nonsense, they are lovers, a couple.

The competition was on Sunday. When Chen Xing and Zhou Chen arrived at the stadium, the people from Yucai had already arrived. The auditorium was full and the grand occasion was unprecedented. Girls accounted for the majority. Some people held signs saying "Yan Xing", and some It says "Xingyan".Chen Xing and Zhou Chen went directly into the backcourt, Qi Feng's face was not very good, and he waved to Chen Xing.

Chen Xing followed Qi Feng to the corridor. Chen Xing turned his head sideways to see Zhou Chen chatting with other team members, and occasionally smiled politely. When he turned his head, he met Chen Xing's eyes. The smile came from his eyes. , Chen Xing only saw Zhou Chen in his eyes, the light in the dark night is always attractive.

Qi Feng looked very serious, and said: "This time Yucai invited three foreign players. I have played a few games with them, and they are all very dark and hurt people. If you get hurt, try to calm down. What's the matter?" , let’s talk after the game.”

Chen Xing nodded: "Yes, I know."

In this competition, two referees came from each of the two schools. Chen Xing was No. 5, Zhou Chen was No. 7, Shen Chengyan was No. 3, Xu Xin was No. 11, and Qi Feng was No. 1.

Their team was in black jerseys, and the opponent was in red. Chen Xing and Zhou Chen finished changing in the backcourt. Chen Xing saw no one around, and quickly stretched out his head to kiss Zhou Chen's face.

"Be careful when playing, they will play tricks. After playing, I will go home and cook for you."

"Ah."

When the talented person came out from the backcourt, the audience applauded sparsely and feebly.When they came out from No. [-] Middle School, the whole venue burst into screams, "Chen Xing! Chen Xing! Shen Chengyan! Shen Chengyan!" It was normal at first, but at the end the shouts gradually became unified: "Yan Xing will walk together for a lifetime, Xing Words are never separated."

The corner of Chen Xing's mouth twitched, and he glanced at the auditorium. Someone in the front row pulled up a long banner: The two school grass cps will never be separated, the banner of Yan Xing will never fall, we will carry the banner of Xing Yan.

Chen Xing knew what these people were doing in an instant, he was a little depressed, how could he and Shen Chengyan be made into a pair?Shen Chengyan was concentrating on discussing tactics with Qi Feng, and the righteous man next to him, Zhou Chen, looked at those banners with great interest, and read while reading: "It's really interesting that Yan Xing walks together all his life, and Xing Yan will never be separated, what about me? Du Keming and I will go together for a lifetime?"

Chen Xing stretched out his hand to hook Zhou Chen's little finger, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing to do with him, those girls are just thinking about it."

At the start of the game, the opponent's captain No. 2 and Qi Feng grabbed the ball. When the whistle sounded, both of them jumped up. Qi Feng's jumping ability was good. With a hook of his arm, he brought the ball into his arms and started running back. Qi Feng looked at Chen Xing. Chen Xing nodded slightly. Qi Feng threw the ball to Chen Xing. The ball was dunked, and there were shouts all over the field. Chen Xing only glanced at Zhou Chen briefly, and after confirming that Zhou Chen was also looking at him, he turned his head and smiled.

No. 2 brought the ball under the backboard, grabbed the rim and dunked it, Zhou Chen jumped up abruptly and intercepted the ball abruptly, and threw the ball to Shen Chengyan through a circle of Yucai people around him, Shen Chengyan caught it steadily , made a three-pointer.The cheers became louder and louder. When Zhou Chen was running back, he was bumped by a person rushing up behind him. Chen Xing quickly came over to support him.

"Are you okay?"

Zhou Chen waved his hand, smiled and said, "It's okay, continue."

Chen Xing let go of Zhou Chen, and fixed his eyes on the man just now, his face was a little cold. That man was No. 4, one of the foreign aid.

The score between the two teams was 31:20 in the first half, and the cheerleaders shouted vigorously. Zhou Chen wiped the sweat off his face with a towel around his neck.After Chen Xing finished drinking the water, he got up and dragged Zhou Chen into the backcourt.

Zhou Chen was bumped several times on the field just now, and directly hit Zhou Chen's back with his elbow. If Zhou Chen hadn't pulled him, he really wanted to kill that idiot on the spot.

Chen Xing walked to the lounge, closed the door, lifted Zhou Chen's jersey and looked at it. Fortunately, there was no mark left.

Zhou Chen pulled down his clothes, turned around and said with some amusement, "He didn't hit hard, and it didn't hurt."

Chen Xing's face was gloomy: "Next time, I will really kill him."

The whistle sounded outside, Zhou Chen turned his face and kissed Chen Xing on the lips, touched the back of his neck and comforted him: "Don't be angry, let's talk after finishing the ball, let's go."

In the second half, Yucai seemed to be in a hurry. Qi Feng was bumped several times by various tricks, and he clenched his fists and endured it.

After Zhou Chen intercepted the No. 2 ball on the basket again, his foot was hit by an elbow on the side of his waist. He bent down in pain, remembered something again, and said anxiously Call Shen Chengyan: "Stop Chen Xing."

But it was too late. With a gust of wind between Chen Xing's fists, he hit No. 4's face with a muffled sound, and the referee's whistle sounded only when No. 4 fell to the ground.There was silence on the field for a few seconds, and then No. 2 cursed and kicked Chen Xing. Chen Xing flashed past, and the few remaining people from Yucai ran past Zhou Chen. Chen Xing ran in two steps. In the past, he dragged Zhou Chen into the backcourt and pushed Zhou Chen into the door. Before Zhou Chen could speak, the door was locked from the outside, and a sentence came from the crack of the door, "Wait for me here."

Zhou Chen knocked on the door anxiously: "Chen Xing, let me out, please calm down first."

There was only the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Zhou Chen tried to pull the door twice, but he couldn't move it at all. He walked around the room anxiously, putting his ear on the door and listening carefully to the movement outside. , It's a pity that the distance is too far, and I can't hear anything at all.

When Chen Xing ran back to the court, the entire basketball court was in chaos, the two sides were playing hard, and the four referees were standing in the corner, hiding far away. Among the crowd, he saw a brown hair at a glance. When I turned around and saw him, I smiled, and then immediately went into battle again.

The substitute players from both sides got involved, and someone from Yucai's side yelled, "You're going to beat them to death, and I'll be the one who kills you."

Chen Xing sneered, it is your skill to kill one of them.

A group of people came at the entrance, and Chen Xing heard his principal standing at the door shouting angrily; "Stop it all."

Qi Feng immediately stopped, Chen Xing was dragged away by Qi Feng's arm, a dozen people gradually stopped, someone walked behind Chen Xing, followed by a sharp pain in his back, like a knife through his clothes After scratching his back, Chen Xing's face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead immediately. He turned around, and No. 2 was looking at him with a gloomy smile on his face. There was a ring on his right hand. Outside the ring was a A circle of thorns of different thicknesses, with blood on them.

Chen Xing smiled and said softly, "If you don't kill me today, I will kill you."

Looking at Chen Xing's pale face, Du Keming frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

Chen Xing shook his head: "No."

The headmaster rushed in front of Chen Xing, his face turned red with anger, and he yelled at Chen Xing with his hands behind his back: "Aren't you ashamed? A good basketball court has been turned into a ring by you. You have become more and more presumptuous recently!"

Chen Xing was silent, the headmaster glanced aside, Du Keming smiled cutely, the headmaster just felt that the child was unfamiliar, and when he was about to yell, Du Keming spoke first; "I'm not from No. [-] Middle School."

The principal abruptly held back the words that came to his lips, and waved impatiently at Du Keming: "You go back to your own school, what are you doing here?"

Du Keming's hand behind his back stretched out and hooked Shen Chengyan's hand, Shen Chengyan smiled with his lips pursed, and scratched his finger in Du Keming's palm.

When Du Keming walked out of the basketball court, the principal looked over and was utterly pissed off. Shen Chengyan stood upright, neither humble nor overbearing.The headmaster's lips were trembling for a long time, and he said a word: "You can do it."

Principal Yucai also arrived not long after. After exchanging pleasantries, the two principals apologized to each other. No. 2 kept looking at Chen Xing with a half-smile, Chen Xing only felt disgusted, and turned his head in disgust.

"Get the hell out of here, 5000-word self-criticism, class suspension next week, reflect on yourself at home." The principal looked back and forth at the faces of several people, and finally turned away angrily with his hands behind his back.

Chen Xing walked in front of the other team members, bent down slowly, his back was burning, and the pain made him dizzy.

The boy bent his waist, lowered his head, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry."

The crowd were stunned, they just stood there dumbfounded, they all turned their heads to look at Qi Feng, Qi Feng took two steps forward, supported Chen Xing's shoulders to make him stand up straight, Chen Xing's face was pale, Qi Feng was a little dazed , asked anxiously: "Are you okay?"

Chen Xing smiled: "It's okay."

"Don't blame you, they are too much, I will do it if you don't."

Chen Xing smiled apologetically at the boys: "I'm really sorry."

The team members all waved their hands: "It's not your fault."

Chen Xing turned around and walked backstage. After two steps, Shen Chengyan grabbed his wrist. Shen Chengyan frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Who did it on your back?"

Chen Xing shook his head: "I didn't see clearly."

Xu Xin followed, and when he walked up to Chen Xing, he saw the torn clothes on his back and the blood oozing from them. Xu Xin shouted angrily, "Who the hell did it?"

Chen Xing hastily covered Xu Xin's mouth, and said helplessly, "Keep your voice down, I didn't see clearly, so don't tell others."

Xu Xin lowered his voice: "Isn't this attack too fucking ruthless, does it hurt?"

"It's okay, you go home first, I'll go find Zhou Chen."

Chen Xing opened the door with the key on the ground. Zhou Chen was sitting on the chair inside and looked at him calmly. Although there was no expression on his face, Chen Xing knew that he was angry.

Chen Xing leaned against the door frame and smiled at Zhou Chen: "Let's go home."

Zhou Chen sat without moving, lowered his head and didn't look at Chen Xing. Chen Xing had no choice but to take two steps forward and took Zhou Chen's hand, and asked softly, "Go home, okay?"

Zhou Chen finally raised his head, his eyes were deep and calm, and his voice was hoarse, suppressing his anger: "Chen Xing, what do you think of me?"

Chen Xing remained silent, but held Zhou Chen's hand tightly. Zhou Chen looked up and down Chen Xing several times, finally stood up, and whispered, "Have you ever thought that I'm here?" How anxious, I'm afraid you'll get hurt, I'm scared to death."

"There won't be a next time, I promise."

A faint sigh sounded in the small space, Zhou Chen turned his head and kissed Chen Xing on the side, "Let's go, go home."

When Chen Xing and Zhou Chen went out, No. 2 laughed sinisterly at Chen Xing, and Chen Xing followed Zhou Chen out of the gate without looking sideways.

The two stood at the station waiting for the bus. Chen Xing's wound was getting more and more painful, and sweat was pouring out on his forehead. Zhou Chen pinched Chen Xing's chin and turned his face around. When it got wet, Zhou Chen's face immediately changed, "Where is the injury?"

Chen Xing patted the back of Zhou Chen's hand and forced a smile: "On the back, it's fine."

Zhou Chen went around behind Chen Xing, the scratched jersey was seeping blood from the gap, when Zhou Chen reached out to touch the slippery clothes, his heart hurt into a ball.He pinched the hem of his clothes and lifted it up, but Chen Xing held down his hand.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter, I'll see when I go home, there are too many people here."

"Who did it?" Zhou Chen's voice was cold, and the little girl next to her took a few steps back to hide behind her mother.

Chen Xing pulled Zhou Chen to his side, shook his head and said, "I didn't see clearly."

"to be frank."

"I really don't see clearly."

Zhou Chen clasped Chen Xing's ten fingers with his right hand, and said in a low voice, "I know you know."

Chen Xing looked down at the hand that was tightly clasped with him, was silent for a while, then looked up at Zhou Chen and said, "I don't want to say, Zhou Chen."

Those who bully me, I will bully back, but I don't want to involve you, I hope you are well.

The bus stopped in front of them, Zhou Chen pulled Chen Xing into the bus and sat down, wiped the sweat on Chen Xing's forehead with a tissue, and whispered: "There will be no next time, you know?"

Chen Xing smiled with his eyes bent, looked at the light in Zhou Chen's eyes, and replied softly: "Understood."

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Chen wanted to lift Chen Xing's clothes. Chen Xing had no choice but to stand quietly with his hands hanging by his sides. Most of the blood on his back had dried up, even the jersey stuck to his back. Zhou Chen moved lightly. But when the clothes were separated from the wound bit by bit, Chen Xing still groaned a few times in pain.

"It hurts?" Zhou Chen didn't dare to move any more, he was pinching his clothes and didn't know what to do.

"It's okay, it's okay, you continue."

Zhou Chen took a deep breath and pushed up the rest of the clothes little by little. The clothes were lifted to the butterfly bone. Chen Xing waited for a long time but did not wait for Zhou Chen's next move. When he was about to turn his head, Zhou Chen held the back of his head.

"Don't look back."

Zhou Chen's voice trembled slightly. On Chen Xing's back, a row of bloodstains of different shades slanted across half of his back from under the shoulder blades. much.

Zhou Chen's hands supporting Chen Xing's shoulders couldn't stop shaking, his eyes were already red, and the water in his eyes fluctuated, he held back his tears.

"Take a shower, let's go to the hospital."

Zhou Chen pushed Chen Xing into the bathroom, lowered his head to put the water in, and Chen Xing sat in the bathtub.Zhou Chen pulled a stool and sat behind him, soaked a towel in the water, and gently wiped Chen Xing's back.

The water in the bathtub soon turned pink, and the blood on Chen Xing's back was almost wiped off. The wound was completely exposed in front of Zhou Chen. Under a row of fresh wounds, there was a pale pink scar, which was a previous knife wound. .Chen Xing is so white, these injuries should not have been on him.

A drop of water fell into the water behind Chen Xing, one drop or two, and the sound was extremely crisp.In the end, it landed on his neck, and the neck was very cold. Chen Xing didn't look back, and asked with a smile, "Why are you crying? It doesn't hurt anymore."

"I know you hurt."

"I remember you didn't cry before."

"Because you hurt."

"It doesn't hurt, wash it quickly, go to the hospital quickly, I want to come back to sleep early."

After taking a shower, Zhou Chen took his own shirt and put it on for Chen Xing. When he went out, Zhou Chen naturally squatted down in front of Chen Xing, and Chen Xing obediently lay down and hugged Zhou Chen's neck.

"Go to sleep, I'll call you when I get there."

The author has something to say: Zhou Chen was led astray by Chen Xing, so he would cry too.

In fact, I am used to it, because now when I cry, people feel distressed.

The cover may be changed tomorrow.
