Because of the dispute at noon, the pace of training in the afternoon was much faster.The team members are all motivated, and they must compare with Jiang Shize.However, it is not difficult to leave that person at the end. In fact, he still maintains a moderate state, leisurely following at the end of the team. No matter what kind of training content, it will not change his enthusiasm.
really don't care?Why did he agree to the match with Chen Jiaqing again?
In the middle of the training, Xu Xi couldn't help but pay attention to Jiang Shize's state. He couldn't understand that person's thoughts and behaviors. understand each other.
However, no matter how you look at it, he is a very troublesome guy... Xu Xi thought in distress, and couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Captain, be careful!"
They were practicing fast passing. Xu Xi was in a daze for a moment and didn't see the basketball that was hitting him. Fortunately, he reacted in time, but it affected the team's training rhythm.
"Xu Xi, come out and run twenty laps around the field."
Just as Xu Xi walked out of the team, the people behind quickly followed.
He didn't dare to be distracted anymore, and ran around the gymnasium again and again.When he caught sight of Jiang Shize from the corner of his eye, Xu Xi was surprised to find that although the man looked lazy and slow, he never affected the team's training process.Whether it's the speed of running, or the frequency of receiving and passing the ball, all movements seem to be stepping on the rhythm.
clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap
Like a conditioned reflex, Xu Xi inadvertently kept up with this rhythm, and the footsteps in the basketball hall formed a unified beat. No matter what they were thinking, at least they temporarily had such a tacit understanding during training.
"That's all for today's training, let's dismiss."
After the assistant coaches and coaches left, the whole day of training finally came to an end.The team members did not rush out, but sat in the rest area one by one, looking at Jiang Shize provocatively.
"Hey, you haven't forgotten what you promised." Chen Jiaqing was the first to speak, and stopped Jiang Shize.
"I haven't forgotten, shall we start now?" Jiang Shi picked up a basketball casually, with a nonchalant expression on his face.
"Arrogant guy..."
Before Chen Jiaqing finished speaking, Jiang Shi turned his head and said to Xu Xi: "Captain, you decide the rules, how to play, and how to win and lose." Knowing that the team members most taboo the word "play", Jiang Shi If you have to repeat it over and over again, it seems to be deliberately against them.
Seeing that they had another conflict, Xu Xi shook his head helplessly and stood between them.
"Stop arguing, Xiao Chen, calm down."
It is not only Xiao Chen who should calm down, but also a bunch of players behind him.At this time, they were eagerly rushing forward, not like playing basketball, but like fighting.
"Jiang Shi is a rookie. Three vs. three, or five vs. five is not fair. Xiao Chen, do you want to play one-on-one with him?"
Chen Jiaqing stared at Jiang Shize coldly, and said angrily, "I have no problem, just let him go."
Jiang Shize also agreed: "I also think one-on-one is more convenient, and I don't need to worry about others."
Jiang Shize's tone was not arrogant, but what he said was very unpleasant.Chen Jiaqing and the others had always disliked him, but now they find him even more hateful.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's start now." Chen Jiaqing picked up a basketball and threw it roughly at Jiang Shize, just in time to smash the ball in the opponent's hand to the ground.
Faced with such provocative expressions and behaviors, Jiang Shi remained indifferent, holding the basketball passed by Chen Jiaqing in his hand, turned to Xu Xi and said, "Turn offense and defense?"
"Yes, the time limit is 15 minutes."
Hearing this, Jiang Shi suddenly laughed and passed the ball back to Chen Jiaqing.
"I'll let you go first."
Chen Jiaqing snorted coldly, and without being polite to him, dribbled the ball and walked beyond the three-point line.
Standing one meter away from the three-point line, Chen Jiaqing quickly dribbled in after Xu Xi's whistle.
He was about the same height as Jiang Shize, but his body was much stronger. His dribbling movements were very steady, and he approached step by step, giving people a strong sense of oppression.In contrast, Jiang Shize's movements seemed a lot more lax. He seemed to be sure that Chen Jiaqing would not throw the ball beyond the free throw line, so he simply gave him a chance to attack.
Sure enough, Chen Jiaqing wanted to impress the opponent, once he got a gap, he rushed to the basket, trying to get the first place with a beautiful dunk.However, when he jumped high, suddenly a hand stretched out from behind, and in an instant he slapped the ball hard on the ground.Chen Jiaqing turned his head sharply, and the man had landed safely, dribbling the ball back beyond the three-point line.
"asshole!"
Not only Chen Jiaqing, but all the players on the field had the same idea. Is it just to cover the hot pot by giving him a chance to score under the basket?It's so disgusting, it's like playing tricks.
Chen Jiaqing quickly chased after him, and Jiang Shi had already dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line. He dribbled the ball skillfully with one hand, and said with a smile, "It's my turn next."
After finishing speaking, before Chen Jiaqing could react, the man quickly dribbled the ball in. The strength was not strong, and the attack was not violent, but his movements were very dexterous.Chen Jiaqing wanted to make a shot several times, but he dodged it sharply. He dribbled the ball beautifully under the crotch, and squatted down very quickly, so that Chen Jiaqing had no time to brake and let him rush over.
Oops!He's going to dunk!Chen Jiaqing's heart sank, she subconsciously chased after Jiang Shize, and blocked him from the free throw line.
However, just when everyone thought that Jiang Shi would make a tough breakthrough, he suddenly jumped up and threw the ball when he jumped to the highest point.The basketball drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, and when it just stopped above the basket, Jiang Shi had already clenched his fists, with a smug smile on his face.
Wow - entered hollowly, the movement is smooth and neat, without any fancy posture.
Everyone thought that a player like Jiang Shize would definitely like to show off his skills and fancy style of play.Unexpectedly, he would adopt the simplest and most practical technique, which even surprised Xu Xi.
"It's you." Picking up the basketball on the ground, Jiang Shi smiled and passed it to Chen Jiaqing. There was no trace of complacency in his eyes, and he was incredibly calm.
On the contrary, Chen Jiaqing froze on the spot, glaring at the other party angrily: "Don't make me proud."
As soon as the words were finished, Xu Xi blew his whistle, Chen Jiaqing stopped talking nonsense, and retreated beyond the three-point line with the ball.
A hot pot and a shot made the players concentrate on the game, and no one dared to make random comments.The contemptuous eyes turned into focus, the gossip was no longer heard, and the only sound left in the stadium was the sound of basketball.
The sound of dribbling, the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor, the sound of basketball hitting the backboard, every sound seemed to be a fierce drumbeat, and even Xu Xi became nervous.
It's just a contest between players, why do you take it so seriously?A heart hangs in the air, following the basketball up and down.Because Jiang Shize's strength was beyond his expectation, or was he completely unpredictable?
Xu Xi held the stopwatch tightly, and suddenly he didn't understand his mood. His eyes were still following the two people on the court, gradually indulging in the rhythm of basketball.
In terms of jumping ability, muscle toughness, acuity of movement, and even abstract sense of the ball, Jiang Shi really has too many surprises. It is difficult to see whether it is talent or acquired hard work. The strength of the opponent is indeed enough to make the coach sign him.
However, his attitude... Xu Xi also felt a headache while sighing, but he didn't allow him to think too much about the tense game. Seeing that 15 minutes were about to pass, Xu Xi subconsciously calculated the score.
Although he won the first place, Jiang Shi did not take the lead every step of the way, and the situation of winning or losing continued until the last few minutes.
At this time, Jiang Shize had just grabbed a rebound and retreated outside the three-point line. Chen Jiaqing quickly caught up and returned to defense in time.
Jiang Shi stood outside the three-point line, dribbling the ball with one hand while calculating something.Suddenly, he frowned and quickly dribbled the ball in.Different from the previous state, this time his speed is extremely fast and his movements are more agile.Chen Jiaqing's defense was also very careful, not giving the opponent any gaps and adopting a close-to-person strategy.
One was advancing step by step, the other was sticking to the man. Jiang Shize's movements became more and more tough, but Chen Jiaqing was not to be outdone.Suddenly, Jiang Shi stopped near the free throw line. Chen Jiaqing froze for a moment, and subconsciously grabbed the ball.
At this moment, Jiang Shi was holding the ball with both hands, his knees slightly bent.Chen Jiaqing thought that he was going to throw the ball, and reflexively prepared to cover the hot pot. Unexpectedly, Jiang Shi made a fake move and dexterously dodged past him.
"The last minute." Jiang Shi said with a smile as he passed by.
Chen Jiaqing reacted immediately and quickly chased after him. At this time, Jiang Shi was already standing under the basket, and the moment he jumped up, he seemed to glance at Xu Xi.
In a second, Xu Xi found that his heart seemed to miss a beat, and he was suspended in mid-air following Jiang Shi.
Nice one-handed dunk, still no extra action.The basketball fell to the ground, but the sound of "pop" hit Xu Xi's heart.
Jiang Shi stood steadily on the ground, with a faint smile on his handsome face, not surprised by favor or humiliation, without the slightest complacency.His eyes did not sweep across the crowd, but fell directly on Xu Xi's body.
"Captain, it's time."
Xu Xi woke up suddenly, and the stopwatch happened to show zero.
"Well, it's time."
When the time came, Chen Jiaqing lost.He glared at Jiang Shize angrily, with an angry expression on his face, but he no longer uttered bad words.
"I lost, but it doesn't mean I agree with you."
Leaving those words behind, Chen Jiaqing took the lead to go out, and the other team members greeted Xu Xi and followed suit one after another.Only Jiang Shize and Xu Xi were left on the basketball court. The man did not leave in a hurry. He turned the ball casually and was very skilled.
"You are amazing." After a moment of silence, Xu Xi finally spoke.
When Jiang Shi heard this, he turned his head and glanced at him, without stopping what he was doing: "The opponent is not weak."
"Yes, Chen Jiaqing is indeed not weak, his strength can be regarded as the top three in the team."
Jiang Shi held the basketball in his hand and looked at Xu Xi with a smile: "So, what about the captain's strength?"
Xu Xi was taken aback, and asked in surprise: "Do you want to compete with me?"
Jiang Shi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said as a matter of course: "Don't you think the captain wants to?"
Don't want to?How can you not think about it? It is every athlete's instinct to compete with the strong, and Jiang Shi is undoubtedly a formidable opponent.But is this good?As the captain, he can't do whatever he wants like Chen Jiaqing...
With his eyes fixed on the basketball in Jiang Shize's hand, Xu Xi struggled for a long time, but he still sighed and chose to refuse.
"Sorry, I can't." Can't, not want to.
"Why?" Jiang Shi raised his eyebrows and chuckled, looking at Xu Xi's expression with great interest.
Xu Xi was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and replied with a serious face: "Although I agree with Chen Jiaqing's match with you, it's not in accordance with the rules..."
"Does the captain only follow the rules?" Jiang Shize walked slowly in front of Xu Xi with a basketball in his hand.
There was too much meaning in his eyes, and Xu Xi subconsciously avoided the smiling look.
"Since you call me captain, you should do what I say. Since I am your captain, I should also follow the rules." The answer was watertight, meaningless.
Jiang Shi couldn't help laughing, and threw the basketball in his hand to Xu Xi: "Since it's against the rules, I won't force it. I'll go first, and the captain will see you tomorrow."
Xu Xi was stunned for a moment, and quickly thought of what he was going to do, and quickly reminded: "Jiang Shize, be careful not to get injured, in case it affects the team's training..."
"Understood, Captain." Jiang Shi replied perfunctorily, not sure if he listened.
After the man left, Xu Xi stared blankly at the basketball in his hand, and couldn't help but dribble it into the basket.
Holding the basketball tightly with both hands, the previous picture appeared in his mind.He never knew that it could be so beautiful and smooth without any showy movements.The movements in one go are crisp and neat, as if it is a kind of enjoyment, not just the tension of rapid heartbeat.
One-handed dribbling, three-step layup, skilled movements, but it seems that something is missing.
The basketball rolled to some unknown place, but Xu Xi stood there dazedly, recalling the scene more than ten minutes ago.Jiang Shize's basketball is different from them. It has a unique charm, which is hard to explain, elusive, and even the source cannot be found.However, the heartstrings became tense, and it was obviously over, but I couldn't get rid of the shock.
◇
Xu Xi is still single and lives alone. His apartment has only one bedroom and one living room, and the open kitchen is connected with the living room.
In order to have a balanced meal, Xu Xi will cook by himself, but he stayed in the basketball gym for too long that day, so he can only buy a bento for dinner.
Watch news reports while eating, watch sports channels after eating. At 08:30, Xu Xi will take the basketball to the basketball court near the apartment. The high school students have already gone home for dinner, and he is the only one in the empty field.
Xu Xi didn't know if it was because when he met someone like Jiang Shize for the first time, no matter his personality or the way he played basketball, every move of the other party would always occupy a position in his brain, and he had known him for only two days. That's all.
For example, now, even when he is practicing, he still thinks of Jiang Shize's movements, shooting posture, body curve, wrist arc... This feeling is not bad, but it is not unusual.
Dissatisfied with his distraction, Xu Xi went home to rest after practicing for more than half an hour.Walking to the door of the house, he was surprised to see Jiang Shize sitting on the ground, holding a large bag of things in his hand, and greeted himself with a smile.
"Captain, we meet again today."
"How will you be here?"
Jiang Shize always had a faint smile on his face, and he looked lazy as if he didn't care about anything.
"I won the game and made a lot of money, so I want to find someone to celebrate with." As he spoke, Jiang Shi stood up, hooked Xu Xi's shoulder, and said, "I haven't lived here for long. I am also familiar with the captain, so I immediately thought of the captain."
Xu Xi was not used to the feeling of being close to people, especially when Jiang Shize was talking, the warm breath was blowing against his ears, which made his ears itchy.
"How do you know my address?"
After opening the door, Xu Xi found a pair of slippers for Jiang Shize, and looked down to find that Jiang Shize was wearing flip-flops.
"You play basketball in this?"
"En." Seeing Xu Xi frown, Jiang Shi knew that he was about to lecture again, so he cleverly changed the subject.
"I bought something at a convenience store and realized that no one was celebrating with me, so I called the coach in the store and asked him for the captain's address." Just after finishing speaking, Jiang Shi sighed with a smile: "Fortunately, I remembered the coach's address." Number."
Xu Xi looked at Jiang Shize in surprise, and asked strangely, "Did you not bring your mobile phone? Or didn't you buy it at all?"
I remember the day when Jiang Shize didn't come, the coach said that he couldn't find where he was, and if he had a mobile phone, there would be no problem.
"I have a mobile phone. The coach took me to buy it on the day I signed the contract. However, I stuffed it in the suitcase when I went back."
Jiang Shi sat on the ground unceremoniously, and put the beer and lo mei in the bag on the coffee table.
"You can't do without a mobile phone. It will be very troublesome to find someone."
Seeing that there was only beer on the table, Xu Xi poured him a cup of hot tea.
"It's troublesome to have a mobile phone, what good is being found all the time."
Xu Xi was stunned for a moment, not because he couldn't think of words to refute, but because he didn't know how to persuade the other party.
"You are not injured."
Jiang Shi pulled Xu Xi to sit down, but Xu Xi looked him up and down.
"No injury, I have remembered the captain's words."
The hippie smiling face doesn't show a bit of sincerity, but Xu Xi only needs the other party not to affect the training.
"Did the match go well? What kind of person is the opponent?" Seeing Jiang Shi, he didn't speak, Xu Xi asked.
Jiang Shi thought about it for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"How should I put it, it should be an older and passionate young man."
"Really? Middle-aged man?"
"Not yet. He looks like he is in his early thirties. He is an elite white-collar worker, but he likes basketball very much."
Jiang Shi quietly hid two cups of hot tea on the ground, and handed the beer to Xu Xi.
"Although the level is not strong, they are very tolerant people. They will not let their debts go if they lose. I originally made an appointment to fight again in a few days, but I refused."
Xu Xi looked at Jiang Shize in surprise, and asked in surprise, "Why did you refuse?"
Jiang Shi smiled, and replied as a matter of course: "The captain didn't say that it was against the rules. It would be bad if it affected the formal training."
Hearing this, Xu Xi was at a loss for words for a moment, so he couldn't help being a little surprised: "I thought you wouldn't be obedient, and isn't the bet very rich?"
The smile on Jiang Shize's face was even stronger, and his eyes showed an expression of unknown meaning, staring intently at Xu Xi's face.Stared at by such eyes, Xu Xi subconsciously wanted to avoid, but found that he couldn't look away.
His own face was reflected in his brown pupils, but he couldn't see through the other person's mind.
After a long time, just when Xu Xi thought that Jiang Shize would not answer, the man gave him a deep look, and then looked away.
Holding the beer can in his hand, Jiang Shi said with a half-smile, "Because the captain is a gentle person, I don't want to embarrass the captain."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shi would say that, Xu Xi didn't realize it for a while, and looked at him blankly.
"Is it strange? Others think so, too." Jiang Shi asked strangely, tilting his head.
Xu Xi lowered his head in embarrassment, and only slowly raised his head when he came back to his senses.
Many people have said similar words, gentle, stable, and trustworthy.However, these are not what Xu Xi likes to hear.
"Gentle, it's better to be tough." After saying that, Xu Xi was startled to feel that something was wrong. Did he drink too much?Such discouraged words shouldn't be told to Jiang Shize. He obviously wouldn't do it in front of Chen Jiaqing and the others...
Jiang Shize remained silent, with a faint smile on his face, drinking cold beer happily.
Xu Xi's mood was not stable. Although it was just a sentence, he felt that he had exposed something. The calmer the other party behaved, the more restrained he felt.
After a while, both of their beer cans were empty, Jiang Shi opened another can, handed it to Xu Xi, and said, "Even I think so, the players think so too."
The thoughtless sentence made Xu Xi look at Jiang Shize in confusion.
Jiang Shi frowned, and then smiled again: "Am I wrong? The captain is a gentle person, so the other team members won't make things difficult for the captain, right?"
Xu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured, "That's what it means."
"For example, in today's situation, if the captain insists on not allowing it, no one will insist on carrying out this match, right?"
Hearing this, Xu Xi was stunned for a while, then said mockingly, "But I just can't refuse."
Sensing that Jiang Shize was staring at him, Xu Xi quickly came back to his senses and changed the subject unnaturally: "However, the match between you and Xiao Chen is indeed worth watching, and I can understand why the coach insists on signing you. "
Jiang Shi raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, observing Xu Xi's expression with great interest, and deliberately asked: "But, the captain also agrees with my point of view, right?"
Xu Xi smiled awkwardly, hesitated for a while, and then nodded.Seeing this, Jiang Shi didn't say much, as if he didn't care, and drank beer while sandwiching braised meat.
After a while, Xu Xi looked up at Jiang Shize, and said calmly, "If you lose today, you will always be laughed at in the team."
"Well, it should be."
Seeing that the other party still looked indifferent, Xu Xi couldn't help frowning, and finally asked the question that he had held back for a long time.
"Jiang Shize, are you not afraid of losing?"
The chopsticks paused for a while, and Jiang Shi picked up a marinated egg for Xu Xi, and asked with a smile, "What will happen if you lose? Will you terminate the contract with me? As long as you have money to eat this month, other things don't matter, right?" .”
Jiang Shi would say such words, which did not surprise Xu Xi too much, but not being surprised does not mean that he would agree.
Obviously playing very well, why do you act so indifferent? Is it because you really don't like it, or is there another reason?This kind of curiosity is getting bigger and bigger in my heart, gradually occupying an important position, which makes Xu Xi feel hard to ignore.He looked at the other party probingly, but couldn't find anything from the man's face.
"Is it just for money?" Xu Xi suddenly said, breaking the silence.In the silent room, his voice was particularly clear.Could it be too abrupt, they are not familiar to this level...
Xu Xi raised his head guiltily, and was about to tell the other party that it doesn't matter if he doesn't answer.Jiang Shize looked at him and smiled, and sighed, "Captain is really gentle."
Xu Xi knew that the other party had discovered his feelings, and he showed an embarrassed expression on his face. In addition to the embarrassment, he heard the man say: "It's nothing for money, just do what you are best at in exchange for money. Everyone's work is not all. is that so?"
Xu Xi was taken aback, not knowing how to refute.
"It's not that I don't like basketball at all, it's just that I don't like it very much. When I was young, my parents were busy with work, and everyone would gather on the basketball court to play together. Maybe I really have some talents, and it's easier to learn than others..."
Jiang Shize's experience is no different from that of most ABCs. In a single-family yard, there is no one else in the family except his parents and nanny.Most of the time he hangs out with the kids nearby, and even if he's the only yellow guy, the whites and blacks won't let it go.
Wanting to keep up with his peers, slowly shortening the race gap, coupled with his natural motor nerves, Jiang Shize's excellence is not surprising.However, for him, basketball is just a game he grew up with, not to mention that he particularly likes it, but he just naturally participates in the activities that everyone is doing.
Jiang Shi took it for granted, but Xu Xi had mixed feelings in his heart.For them, basketball is a very important part of growing up, not just entertainment, but something more important than studying.
Since primary school, they have been excellent basketball players. They graduated from high school and were admitted to a sports school. Now they can finally regard basketball as a profession.During this process, they faced many choices and selections. Some left, some were eliminated, and those who could stay accounted for a very small part. So how could they understand Jiang Shize's thoughts?
Just when Xu Xi was distracted, Jiang Shi suddenly sighed, frowned, and said in bewilderment: "No matter what the original intention is, I can guarantee that I will treat the game with the most serious attitude, can't this not work? "
Xu Xi came back to his senses immediately, and looked at Jiang Shize in surprise, who shook his head with a wry smile, opened another can of beer and handed it to him.
"It's better to drink wine, the concept is not so easy to change."
The seemingly indifferent attitude has a soothing power, drinking cold beer, Xu Xi felt that his mood also calmed down.
Maybe I really think too much, since Jiang Shi will take the game seriously, the original intention is not so important...
Telling himself like this, Xu Xi really felt a lot more relaxed.Usually, he seldom had the opportunity to drink like this. Xu Xi followed Jiang Shize one can after another, sitting on the ground and chatting about various topics. The empty cans had already filled the entire table.
It didn't take long for Xu Xi to get drunk, and he fell asleep on the floor tiredly, neither noisy nor drunk.
"Drunk so soon?" Jiang Shi sat next to Xu Xi and patted his cheek.Seeing that the other party did not respond, he couldn't help laughing, and looked at him with a scrutinizing look, with a smile of interest on the corner of his mouth.
"You look cute when you're drunk."
Because of the alcohol, Xu Xi's cheeks were flushed, and his lips were slightly parted, showing a rare childish look.
"Isn't it good to sleep on the floor?" Knowing that the other party would not respond, Jiang Shi still leaned in front of him, as if teasing a child, and said to him at close range.
Xu Xi let out a "huh" and shrunk his body a little tighter, as if it was really cold.
Seeing this, Jiang Shi pinched his nose with a smile, and pressed the skin of his cheek after a while, with a hint of mischief, but no evil intentions.
"Then, go back to bed and sleep." Said, Jiang Shi put his arms around Xu Xi's shoulders, let him lean on his chest, and walked slowly to the bedroom.When I lowered my head, I could just see the other party frowning, and the long eyelashes were slightly upturned. Looking at him from such a close distance, the other party's appearance was even more handsome and refined.
Just frowning always makes people want to tease him and make him forget what is bothering him.
Jiang Shize also heaved a sigh of relief when he finally carried him to the bed.He was wearing house clothes, so as long as he covered him with a quilt, he would be fine.Holding the corner of the quilt in his hand, Jiang Shi leaned over to cover Xu Xi with the quilt, but he didn't let go immediately, instead he paused for a few seconds, staring intently at the sleeping state of Xu Xi.
It was a person with a completely different personality from his own. Jiang Shize felt unbelievably mild-tempered, but felt inexplicably at ease because of his gentleness.For him who took care of himself since he was a child, that was a feeling he had never encountered before.
Jiang Shi was curious about him, but also puzzled by him, especially when he saw that he missed the team wholeheartedly, like a nanny who was having a headache for every player, and even felt so inexplicably distressed.
"Do you also think about troubles when you fall asleep?"
Looking at Xu Xi's sleeping face, Jiang Shi frowned, and suddenly had an idea, leaned over and kissed the other's brow.
Maybe he felt something, Xu Xi's body moved, his brows relaxed slowly, he hugged the quilt tightly and fell asleep on his side.
Seeing this, Jiang Shi smiled at the corner of his mouth and said to himself, "You are so gentle to everyone, but how many people are gentle to you?"
A person who is asleep can't answer Jiang Shize's question, and Jiang Shize doesn't need his answer.After standing by the bed for a while, Jiang Shi gently left the room.Before leaving, he couldn't help but paused, and looked back at Xu Xi.His deep eyes turned on the man's face. In the dark room, the man seemed to be sleeping peacefully.
really don't care?Why did he agree to the match with Chen Jiaqing again?
In the middle of the training, Xu Xi couldn't help but pay attention to Jiang Shize's state. He couldn't understand that person's thoughts and behaviors. understand each other.
However, no matter how you look at it, he is a very troublesome guy... Xu Xi thought in distress, and couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Captain, be careful!"
They were practicing fast passing. Xu Xi was in a daze for a moment and didn't see the basketball that was hitting him. Fortunately, he reacted in time, but it affected the team's training rhythm.
"Xu Xi, come out and run twenty laps around the field."
Just as Xu Xi walked out of the team, the people behind quickly followed.
He didn't dare to be distracted anymore, and ran around the gymnasium again and again.When he caught sight of Jiang Shize from the corner of his eye, Xu Xi was surprised to find that although the man looked lazy and slow, he never affected the team's training process.Whether it's the speed of running, or the frequency of receiving and passing the ball, all movements seem to be stepping on the rhythm.
clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap
Like a conditioned reflex, Xu Xi inadvertently kept up with this rhythm, and the footsteps in the basketball hall formed a unified beat. No matter what they were thinking, at least they temporarily had such a tacit understanding during training.
"That's all for today's training, let's dismiss."
After the assistant coaches and coaches left, the whole day of training finally came to an end.The team members did not rush out, but sat in the rest area one by one, looking at Jiang Shize provocatively.
"Hey, you haven't forgotten what you promised." Chen Jiaqing was the first to speak, and stopped Jiang Shize.
"I haven't forgotten, shall we start now?" Jiang Shi picked up a basketball casually, with a nonchalant expression on his face.
"Arrogant guy..."
Before Chen Jiaqing finished speaking, Jiang Shi turned his head and said to Xu Xi: "Captain, you decide the rules, how to play, and how to win and lose." Knowing that the team members most taboo the word "play", Jiang Shi If you have to repeat it over and over again, it seems to be deliberately against them.
Seeing that they had another conflict, Xu Xi shook his head helplessly and stood between them.
"Stop arguing, Xiao Chen, calm down."
It is not only Xiao Chen who should calm down, but also a bunch of players behind him.At this time, they were eagerly rushing forward, not like playing basketball, but like fighting.
"Jiang Shi is a rookie. Three vs. three, or five vs. five is not fair. Xiao Chen, do you want to play one-on-one with him?"
Chen Jiaqing stared at Jiang Shize coldly, and said angrily, "I have no problem, just let him go."
Jiang Shize also agreed: "I also think one-on-one is more convenient, and I don't need to worry about others."
Jiang Shize's tone was not arrogant, but what he said was very unpleasant.Chen Jiaqing and the others had always disliked him, but now they find him even more hateful.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's start now." Chen Jiaqing picked up a basketball and threw it roughly at Jiang Shize, just in time to smash the ball in the opponent's hand to the ground.
Faced with such provocative expressions and behaviors, Jiang Shi remained indifferent, holding the basketball passed by Chen Jiaqing in his hand, turned to Xu Xi and said, "Turn offense and defense?"
"Yes, the time limit is 15 minutes."
Hearing this, Jiang Shi suddenly laughed and passed the ball back to Chen Jiaqing.
"I'll let you go first."
Chen Jiaqing snorted coldly, and without being polite to him, dribbled the ball and walked beyond the three-point line.
Standing one meter away from the three-point line, Chen Jiaqing quickly dribbled in after Xu Xi's whistle.
He was about the same height as Jiang Shize, but his body was much stronger. His dribbling movements were very steady, and he approached step by step, giving people a strong sense of oppression.In contrast, Jiang Shize's movements seemed a lot more lax. He seemed to be sure that Chen Jiaqing would not throw the ball beyond the free throw line, so he simply gave him a chance to attack.
Sure enough, Chen Jiaqing wanted to impress the opponent, once he got a gap, he rushed to the basket, trying to get the first place with a beautiful dunk.However, when he jumped high, suddenly a hand stretched out from behind, and in an instant he slapped the ball hard on the ground.Chen Jiaqing turned his head sharply, and the man had landed safely, dribbling the ball back beyond the three-point line.
"asshole!"
Not only Chen Jiaqing, but all the players on the field had the same idea. Is it just to cover the hot pot by giving him a chance to score under the basket?It's so disgusting, it's like playing tricks.
Chen Jiaqing quickly chased after him, and Jiang Shi had already dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line. He dribbled the ball skillfully with one hand, and said with a smile, "It's my turn next."
After finishing speaking, before Chen Jiaqing could react, the man quickly dribbled the ball in. The strength was not strong, and the attack was not violent, but his movements were very dexterous.Chen Jiaqing wanted to make a shot several times, but he dodged it sharply. He dribbled the ball beautifully under the crotch, and squatted down very quickly, so that Chen Jiaqing had no time to brake and let him rush over.
Oops!He's going to dunk!Chen Jiaqing's heart sank, she subconsciously chased after Jiang Shize, and blocked him from the free throw line.
However, just when everyone thought that Jiang Shi would make a tough breakthrough, he suddenly jumped up and threw the ball when he jumped to the highest point.The basketball drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, and when it just stopped above the basket, Jiang Shi had already clenched his fists, with a smug smile on his face.
Wow - entered hollowly, the movement is smooth and neat, without any fancy posture.
Everyone thought that a player like Jiang Shize would definitely like to show off his skills and fancy style of play.Unexpectedly, he would adopt the simplest and most practical technique, which even surprised Xu Xi.
"It's you." Picking up the basketball on the ground, Jiang Shi smiled and passed it to Chen Jiaqing. There was no trace of complacency in his eyes, and he was incredibly calm.
On the contrary, Chen Jiaqing froze on the spot, glaring at the other party angrily: "Don't make me proud."
As soon as the words were finished, Xu Xi blew his whistle, Chen Jiaqing stopped talking nonsense, and retreated beyond the three-point line with the ball.
A hot pot and a shot made the players concentrate on the game, and no one dared to make random comments.The contemptuous eyes turned into focus, the gossip was no longer heard, and the only sound left in the stadium was the sound of basketball.
The sound of dribbling, the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor, the sound of basketball hitting the backboard, every sound seemed to be a fierce drumbeat, and even Xu Xi became nervous.
It's just a contest between players, why do you take it so seriously?A heart hangs in the air, following the basketball up and down.Because Jiang Shize's strength was beyond his expectation, or was he completely unpredictable?
Xu Xi held the stopwatch tightly, and suddenly he didn't understand his mood. His eyes were still following the two people on the court, gradually indulging in the rhythm of basketball.
In terms of jumping ability, muscle toughness, acuity of movement, and even abstract sense of the ball, Jiang Shi really has too many surprises. It is difficult to see whether it is talent or acquired hard work. The strength of the opponent is indeed enough to make the coach sign him.
However, his attitude... Xu Xi also felt a headache while sighing, but he didn't allow him to think too much about the tense game. Seeing that 15 minutes were about to pass, Xu Xi subconsciously calculated the score.
Although he won the first place, Jiang Shi did not take the lead every step of the way, and the situation of winning or losing continued until the last few minutes.
At this time, Jiang Shize had just grabbed a rebound and retreated outside the three-point line. Chen Jiaqing quickly caught up and returned to defense in time.
Jiang Shi stood outside the three-point line, dribbling the ball with one hand while calculating something.Suddenly, he frowned and quickly dribbled the ball in.Different from the previous state, this time his speed is extremely fast and his movements are more agile.Chen Jiaqing's defense was also very careful, not giving the opponent any gaps and adopting a close-to-person strategy.
One was advancing step by step, the other was sticking to the man. Jiang Shize's movements became more and more tough, but Chen Jiaqing was not to be outdone.Suddenly, Jiang Shi stopped near the free throw line. Chen Jiaqing froze for a moment, and subconsciously grabbed the ball.
At this moment, Jiang Shi was holding the ball with both hands, his knees slightly bent.Chen Jiaqing thought that he was going to throw the ball, and reflexively prepared to cover the hot pot. Unexpectedly, Jiang Shi made a fake move and dexterously dodged past him.
"The last minute." Jiang Shi said with a smile as he passed by.
Chen Jiaqing reacted immediately and quickly chased after him. At this time, Jiang Shi was already standing under the basket, and the moment he jumped up, he seemed to glance at Xu Xi.
In a second, Xu Xi found that his heart seemed to miss a beat, and he was suspended in mid-air following Jiang Shi.
Nice one-handed dunk, still no extra action.The basketball fell to the ground, but the sound of "pop" hit Xu Xi's heart.
Jiang Shi stood steadily on the ground, with a faint smile on his handsome face, not surprised by favor or humiliation, without the slightest complacency.His eyes did not sweep across the crowd, but fell directly on Xu Xi's body.
"Captain, it's time."
Xu Xi woke up suddenly, and the stopwatch happened to show zero.
"Well, it's time."
When the time came, Chen Jiaqing lost.He glared at Jiang Shize angrily, with an angry expression on his face, but he no longer uttered bad words.
"I lost, but it doesn't mean I agree with you."
Leaving those words behind, Chen Jiaqing took the lead to go out, and the other team members greeted Xu Xi and followed suit one after another.Only Jiang Shize and Xu Xi were left on the basketball court. The man did not leave in a hurry. He turned the ball casually and was very skilled.
"You are amazing." After a moment of silence, Xu Xi finally spoke.
When Jiang Shi heard this, he turned his head and glanced at him, without stopping what he was doing: "The opponent is not weak."
"Yes, Chen Jiaqing is indeed not weak, his strength can be regarded as the top three in the team."
Jiang Shi held the basketball in his hand and looked at Xu Xi with a smile: "So, what about the captain's strength?"
Xu Xi was taken aback, and asked in surprise: "Do you want to compete with me?"
Jiang Shi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said as a matter of course: "Don't you think the captain wants to?"
Don't want to?How can you not think about it? It is every athlete's instinct to compete with the strong, and Jiang Shi is undoubtedly a formidable opponent.But is this good?As the captain, he can't do whatever he wants like Chen Jiaqing...
With his eyes fixed on the basketball in Jiang Shize's hand, Xu Xi struggled for a long time, but he still sighed and chose to refuse.
"Sorry, I can't." Can't, not want to.
"Why?" Jiang Shi raised his eyebrows and chuckled, looking at Xu Xi's expression with great interest.
Xu Xi was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and replied with a serious face: "Although I agree with Chen Jiaqing's match with you, it's not in accordance with the rules..."
"Does the captain only follow the rules?" Jiang Shize walked slowly in front of Xu Xi with a basketball in his hand.
There was too much meaning in his eyes, and Xu Xi subconsciously avoided the smiling look.
"Since you call me captain, you should do what I say. Since I am your captain, I should also follow the rules." The answer was watertight, meaningless.
Jiang Shi couldn't help laughing, and threw the basketball in his hand to Xu Xi: "Since it's against the rules, I won't force it. I'll go first, and the captain will see you tomorrow."
Xu Xi was stunned for a moment, and quickly thought of what he was going to do, and quickly reminded: "Jiang Shize, be careful not to get injured, in case it affects the team's training..."
"Understood, Captain." Jiang Shi replied perfunctorily, not sure if he listened.
After the man left, Xu Xi stared blankly at the basketball in his hand, and couldn't help but dribble it into the basket.
Holding the basketball tightly with both hands, the previous picture appeared in his mind.He never knew that it could be so beautiful and smooth without any showy movements.The movements in one go are crisp and neat, as if it is a kind of enjoyment, not just the tension of rapid heartbeat.
One-handed dribbling, three-step layup, skilled movements, but it seems that something is missing.
The basketball rolled to some unknown place, but Xu Xi stood there dazedly, recalling the scene more than ten minutes ago.Jiang Shize's basketball is different from them. It has a unique charm, which is hard to explain, elusive, and even the source cannot be found.However, the heartstrings became tense, and it was obviously over, but I couldn't get rid of the shock.
◇
Xu Xi is still single and lives alone. His apartment has only one bedroom and one living room, and the open kitchen is connected with the living room.
In order to have a balanced meal, Xu Xi will cook by himself, but he stayed in the basketball gym for too long that day, so he can only buy a bento for dinner.
Watch news reports while eating, watch sports channels after eating. At 08:30, Xu Xi will take the basketball to the basketball court near the apartment. The high school students have already gone home for dinner, and he is the only one in the empty field.
Xu Xi didn't know if it was because when he met someone like Jiang Shize for the first time, no matter his personality or the way he played basketball, every move of the other party would always occupy a position in his brain, and he had known him for only two days. That's all.
For example, now, even when he is practicing, he still thinks of Jiang Shize's movements, shooting posture, body curve, wrist arc... This feeling is not bad, but it is not unusual.
Dissatisfied with his distraction, Xu Xi went home to rest after practicing for more than half an hour.Walking to the door of the house, he was surprised to see Jiang Shize sitting on the ground, holding a large bag of things in his hand, and greeted himself with a smile.
"Captain, we meet again today."
"How will you be here?"
Jiang Shize always had a faint smile on his face, and he looked lazy as if he didn't care about anything.
"I won the game and made a lot of money, so I want to find someone to celebrate with." As he spoke, Jiang Shi stood up, hooked Xu Xi's shoulder, and said, "I haven't lived here for long. I am also familiar with the captain, so I immediately thought of the captain."
Xu Xi was not used to the feeling of being close to people, especially when Jiang Shize was talking, the warm breath was blowing against his ears, which made his ears itchy.
"How do you know my address?"
After opening the door, Xu Xi found a pair of slippers for Jiang Shize, and looked down to find that Jiang Shize was wearing flip-flops.
"You play basketball in this?"
"En." Seeing Xu Xi frown, Jiang Shi knew that he was about to lecture again, so he cleverly changed the subject.
"I bought something at a convenience store and realized that no one was celebrating with me, so I called the coach in the store and asked him for the captain's address." Just after finishing speaking, Jiang Shi sighed with a smile: "Fortunately, I remembered the coach's address." Number."
Xu Xi looked at Jiang Shize in surprise, and asked strangely, "Did you not bring your mobile phone? Or didn't you buy it at all?"
I remember the day when Jiang Shize didn't come, the coach said that he couldn't find where he was, and if he had a mobile phone, there would be no problem.
"I have a mobile phone. The coach took me to buy it on the day I signed the contract. However, I stuffed it in the suitcase when I went back."
Jiang Shi sat on the ground unceremoniously, and put the beer and lo mei in the bag on the coffee table.
"You can't do without a mobile phone. It will be very troublesome to find someone."
Seeing that there was only beer on the table, Xu Xi poured him a cup of hot tea.
"It's troublesome to have a mobile phone, what good is being found all the time."
Xu Xi was stunned for a moment, not because he couldn't think of words to refute, but because he didn't know how to persuade the other party.
"You are not injured."
Jiang Shi pulled Xu Xi to sit down, but Xu Xi looked him up and down.
"No injury, I have remembered the captain's words."
The hippie smiling face doesn't show a bit of sincerity, but Xu Xi only needs the other party not to affect the training.
"Did the match go well? What kind of person is the opponent?" Seeing Jiang Shi, he didn't speak, Xu Xi asked.
Jiang Shi thought about it for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"How should I put it, it should be an older and passionate young man."
"Really? Middle-aged man?"
"Not yet. He looks like he is in his early thirties. He is an elite white-collar worker, but he likes basketball very much."
Jiang Shi quietly hid two cups of hot tea on the ground, and handed the beer to Xu Xi.
"Although the level is not strong, they are very tolerant people. They will not let their debts go if they lose. I originally made an appointment to fight again in a few days, but I refused."
Xu Xi looked at Jiang Shize in surprise, and asked in surprise, "Why did you refuse?"
Jiang Shi smiled, and replied as a matter of course: "The captain didn't say that it was against the rules. It would be bad if it affected the formal training."
Hearing this, Xu Xi was at a loss for words for a moment, so he couldn't help being a little surprised: "I thought you wouldn't be obedient, and isn't the bet very rich?"
The smile on Jiang Shize's face was even stronger, and his eyes showed an expression of unknown meaning, staring intently at Xu Xi's face.Stared at by such eyes, Xu Xi subconsciously wanted to avoid, but found that he couldn't look away.
His own face was reflected in his brown pupils, but he couldn't see through the other person's mind.
After a long time, just when Xu Xi thought that Jiang Shize would not answer, the man gave him a deep look, and then looked away.
Holding the beer can in his hand, Jiang Shi said with a half-smile, "Because the captain is a gentle person, I don't want to embarrass the captain."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shi would say that, Xu Xi didn't realize it for a while, and looked at him blankly.
"Is it strange? Others think so, too." Jiang Shi asked strangely, tilting his head.
Xu Xi lowered his head in embarrassment, and only slowly raised his head when he came back to his senses.
Many people have said similar words, gentle, stable, and trustworthy.However, these are not what Xu Xi likes to hear.
"Gentle, it's better to be tough." After saying that, Xu Xi was startled to feel that something was wrong. Did he drink too much?Such discouraged words shouldn't be told to Jiang Shize. He obviously wouldn't do it in front of Chen Jiaqing and the others...
Jiang Shize remained silent, with a faint smile on his face, drinking cold beer happily.
Xu Xi's mood was not stable. Although it was just a sentence, he felt that he had exposed something. The calmer the other party behaved, the more restrained he felt.
After a while, both of their beer cans were empty, Jiang Shi opened another can, handed it to Xu Xi, and said, "Even I think so, the players think so too."
The thoughtless sentence made Xu Xi look at Jiang Shize in confusion.
Jiang Shi frowned, and then smiled again: "Am I wrong? The captain is a gentle person, so the other team members won't make things difficult for the captain, right?"
Xu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured, "That's what it means."
"For example, in today's situation, if the captain insists on not allowing it, no one will insist on carrying out this match, right?"
Hearing this, Xu Xi was stunned for a while, then said mockingly, "But I just can't refuse."
Sensing that Jiang Shize was staring at him, Xu Xi quickly came back to his senses and changed the subject unnaturally: "However, the match between you and Xiao Chen is indeed worth watching, and I can understand why the coach insists on signing you. "
Jiang Shi raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, observing Xu Xi's expression with great interest, and deliberately asked: "But, the captain also agrees with my point of view, right?"
Xu Xi smiled awkwardly, hesitated for a while, and then nodded.Seeing this, Jiang Shi didn't say much, as if he didn't care, and drank beer while sandwiching braised meat.
After a while, Xu Xi looked up at Jiang Shize, and said calmly, "If you lose today, you will always be laughed at in the team."
"Well, it should be."
Seeing that the other party still looked indifferent, Xu Xi couldn't help frowning, and finally asked the question that he had held back for a long time.
"Jiang Shize, are you not afraid of losing?"
The chopsticks paused for a while, and Jiang Shi picked up a marinated egg for Xu Xi, and asked with a smile, "What will happen if you lose? Will you terminate the contract with me? As long as you have money to eat this month, other things don't matter, right?" .”
Jiang Shi would say such words, which did not surprise Xu Xi too much, but not being surprised does not mean that he would agree.
Obviously playing very well, why do you act so indifferent? Is it because you really don't like it, or is there another reason?This kind of curiosity is getting bigger and bigger in my heart, gradually occupying an important position, which makes Xu Xi feel hard to ignore.He looked at the other party probingly, but couldn't find anything from the man's face.
"Is it just for money?" Xu Xi suddenly said, breaking the silence.In the silent room, his voice was particularly clear.Could it be too abrupt, they are not familiar to this level...
Xu Xi raised his head guiltily, and was about to tell the other party that it doesn't matter if he doesn't answer.Jiang Shize looked at him and smiled, and sighed, "Captain is really gentle."
Xu Xi knew that the other party had discovered his feelings, and he showed an embarrassed expression on his face. In addition to the embarrassment, he heard the man say: "It's nothing for money, just do what you are best at in exchange for money. Everyone's work is not all. is that so?"
Xu Xi was taken aback, not knowing how to refute.
"It's not that I don't like basketball at all, it's just that I don't like it very much. When I was young, my parents were busy with work, and everyone would gather on the basketball court to play together. Maybe I really have some talents, and it's easier to learn than others..."
Jiang Shize's experience is no different from that of most ABCs. In a single-family yard, there is no one else in the family except his parents and nanny.Most of the time he hangs out with the kids nearby, and even if he's the only yellow guy, the whites and blacks won't let it go.
Wanting to keep up with his peers, slowly shortening the race gap, coupled with his natural motor nerves, Jiang Shize's excellence is not surprising.However, for him, basketball is just a game he grew up with, not to mention that he particularly likes it, but he just naturally participates in the activities that everyone is doing.
Jiang Shi took it for granted, but Xu Xi had mixed feelings in his heart.For them, basketball is a very important part of growing up, not just entertainment, but something more important than studying.
Since primary school, they have been excellent basketball players. They graduated from high school and were admitted to a sports school. Now they can finally regard basketball as a profession.During this process, they faced many choices and selections. Some left, some were eliminated, and those who could stay accounted for a very small part. So how could they understand Jiang Shize's thoughts?
Just when Xu Xi was distracted, Jiang Shi suddenly sighed, frowned, and said in bewilderment: "No matter what the original intention is, I can guarantee that I will treat the game with the most serious attitude, can't this not work? "
Xu Xi came back to his senses immediately, and looked at Jiang Shize in surprise, who shook his head with a wry smile, opened another can of beer and handed it to him.
"It's better to drink wine, the concept is not so easy to change."
The seemingly indifferent attitude has a soothing power, drinking cold beer, Xu Xi felt that his mood also calmed down.
Maybe I really think too much, since Jiang Shi will take the game seriously, the original intention is not so important...
Telling himself like this, Xu Xi really felt a lot more relaxed.Usually, he seldom had the opportunity to drink like this. Xu Xi followed Jiang Shize one can after another, sitting on the ground and chatting about various topics. The empty cans had already filled the entire table.
It didn't take long for Xu Xi to get drunk, and he fell asleep on the floor tiredly, neither noisy nor drunk.
"Drunk so soon?" Jiang Shi sat next to Xu Xi and patted his cheek.Seeing that the other party did not respond, he couldn't help laughing, and looked at him with a scrutinizing look, with a smile of interest on the corner of his mouth.
"You look cute when you're drunk."
Because of the alcohol, Xu Xi's cheeks were flushed, and his lips were slightly parted, showing a rare childish look.
"Isn't it good to sleep on the floor?" Knowing that the other party would not respond, Jiang Shi still leaned in front of him, as if teasing a child, and said to him at close range.
Xu Xi let out a "huh" and shrunk his body a little tighter, as if it was really cold.
Seeing this, Jiang Shi pinched his nose with a smile, and pressed the skin of his cheek after a while, with a hint of mischief, but no evil intentions.
"Then, go back to bed and sleep." Said, Jiang Shi put his arms around Xu Xi's shoulders, let him lean on his chest, and walked slowly to the bedroom.When I lowered my head, I could just see the other party frowning, and the long eyelashes were slightly upturned. Looking at him from such a close distance, the other party's appearance was even more handsome and refined.
Just frowning always makes people want to tease him and make him forget what is bothering him.
Jiang Shize also heaved a sigh of relief when he finally carried him to the bed.He was wearing house clothes, so as long as he covered him with a quilt, he would be fine.Holding the corner of the quilt in his hand, Jiang Shi leaned over to cover Xu Xi with the quilt, but he didn't let go immediately, instead he paused for a few seconds, staring intently at the sleeping state of Xu Xi.
It was a person with a completely different personality from his own. Jiang Shize felt unbelievably mild-tempered, but felt inexplicably at ease because of his gentleness.For him who took care of himself since he was a child, that was a feeling he had never encountered before.
Jiang Shi was curious about him, but also puzzled by him, especially when he saw that he missed the team wholeheartedly, like a nanny who was having a headache for every player, and even felt so inexplicably distressed.
"Do you also think about troubles when you fall asleep?"
Looking at Xu Xi's sleeping face, Jiang Shi frowned, and suddenly had an idea, leaned over and kissed the other's brow.
Maybe he felt something, Xu Xi's body moved, his brows relaxed slowly, he hugged the quilt tightly and fell asleep on his side.
Seeing this, Jiang Shi smiled at the corner of his mouth and said to himself, "You are so gentle to everyone, but how many people are gentle to you?"
A person who is asleep can't answer Jiang Shize's question, and Jiang Shize doesn't need his answer.After standing by the bed for a while, Jiang Shi gently left the room.Before leaving, he couldn't help but paused, and looked back at Xu Xi.His deep eyes turned on the man's face. In the dark room, the man seemed to be sleeping peacefully.
