last second

Since it is "trying to date", naturally there is not a lot of intense tension, but it is full of heart-pounding sweetness.Occasionally exchanging a kiss in an unoccupied lounge, or leaning against each other watching TV at home, holding hands quietly when taking a walk in the evening, there is also a lot of light warmth.

Xu Xi was embarrassed to ask Jiang Shize how he interacted with others before.He always felt that with Jiang Shize's character, he should have had many very intense experiences.So, in the current situation, are you deliberately slowing down and letting yourself gradually get used to it?

Xu Xi was very curious, but he couldn't ask.However, he secretly thought that if this was the case, Jiang Shi was indeed accommodating himself.Although a little embarrassed, this feeling is indeed very warm and sweet.

Before the start of the summer league, as usual, Xu Xi, as the captain, had to participate in the group draw on behalf of the team.After lunch, he was about to go by car. Before he could go out, Jiang Shi ran up with a smile on his face.

"team leader."

There was a strong smile in his tone, knowing that that person was always like this, Xu Xi blushed unapologetically when thinking of what happened that night.

"How did you escape?"

Xu Xi frowned, trying to hide his feelings, but found that the other party looked at him with a clear look, and felt more and more embarrassed.

"Come to find you."

Jiang Shi said it as a matter of course, and walked to Xu Xi's side naturally.Just as he was about to make a move, Xu Xi rudely slapped him away.

"Hey, this is the team."

They haven't walked out of the club yet, and there are quite a few company employees nearby.

Jiang Shi let go of his hand with a full face of frustration, but Xu Xi couldn't tell if he was serious or joking again.

"Why don't you train and follow me?"

"Accompany you to the lottery."

Xu Xi was taken aback, before he had time to react, Jiang Shi laughed and said, "I'm afraid you're too nervous."

How could Xu Xi not be nervous? Although the strength of the team is also very important, the result of the draw will also have a certain impact.

"Go back first, I'm not nervous."

Having said that, when Xu Xi saw Jiang and looked at him with a smile, he couldn't help lowering his head guiltily, really lacking confidence.

"Captain, I've already asked the coach for leave, so I'll treat it as a lazy once in a while."

Jiang Shi blinked at Xu Xi deliberately, and put on a look of begging for mercy. Facing such a smiling face, how could Xu Xi have the heart to say no.

"You don't just get lazy every now and then, do you?" Xu Xi said dumbfoundingly.

Jiang Shi deliberately denied it indignantly: "Captain, I have always worked hard. Moreover, because of the captain's relationship, I am more interested in basketball."

Hearing this, Xu Xi blushed, looked around subconsciously, and felt relieved when he saw that there was no one around.

"Don't talk nonsense."

After leaving such a sentence, Xu Xi walked straight forward.Jiang Shi followed up with a playful smile, and put his arms around his shoulders like a buddy.

Xu Xi's body stiffened, and he was just about to dodge, but when he saw the other party's generous appearance, he couldn't help but reflect on whether he was too cautious, and instead appeared petty.

What's more, the feeling of relying on Jiang Shize seems to be pretty good...

Maybe it was because of Jiang Shize's mood, or maybe it was because of the feeling of being dependent on each other, this time, Xu Xi didn't push each other away.He tried to relax a little and not worry about what other people thought.

However, Jiang Shi is not a guy who accepts as soon as he sees a deal. He moved in front of Xu Xi and said affectionately: "Captain, let's go shopping outside at night. There is a food exhibition in the west district, and the whole street is full of food." delicious."

While talking, Jiang Shi got very close, and all his breath sprayed on Xu Xi's face.This kind of intimacy made his heart beat faster, and his ears turned slightly red, but he was reluctant to push him away.

"Is it not good?"

Jiang Shi frowned, looking disappointed.Xu Ximing knew that he was putting on a show, but he couldn't pretend he didn't see it, so he said "yes" helplessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shi showed a smug expression, and pulled him into the street with a smile.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he met Chen Jiaqing head-on.

"Captain, let's go to draw lots? Just right, I'll go with you." After speaking, Chen Jiaqing found out that Jiang Shize was also there.

"Why are you here, kid, thinking about being lazy again."

Jiang Shi smiled and didn't answer, just said: "I will accompany the captain to draw lots."

Chen Jiaqing put on a straight face, and said unceremoniously: "Hey, when is it your turn to be a newcomer, I accompany the captain every year." After that, he did not forget to ask Xu Xi for a certificate. "Yes, Captain."

Xu Xi froze for a moment, then nodded in embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Then let's go together." Before the two of them spoke, Xu Xi hurriedly made a decision.

They were not enemies in the first place, and neither of them had any opinion on this decision.However, when getting into the taxi, Jiang Shi was the first to pull Xu Xi to sit in the back, and left Chen Jiaqing in the passenger seat maliciously.

"Hey, brat."

Seeing Chen Jiaqing staring at him unhappily, Jiang Shi felt more and more happy. He put his arms around Xu Xi's shoulder triumphantly, and said jokingly: "You are too strong, there is no room for the captain to sit with you. Right?"

Knowing that Jiang Shi was winking at him, Xu Xi could not say the word "no", and said awkwardly: "Okay, stop arguing, let the driver drive quickly."

At this time, the other two people discovered that the car had never been moved at all.

◇

The result of the lottery was not very good. In the first game, they ran into a strong team, the opponent that let them lose last year.On the way back, Xu Xi kept a stern face, looking sullen, and sat in the car without speaking.

Jiang Shi frowned, and was about to speak when Chen Jiaqing stopped him.He made a "shh" gesture to signal Jiang Shi not to say more.

Back in the basketball hall, Xu Xi walked to the coach without saying a word, and whispered the result of the lottery. The coach frowned and signaled everyone to gather immediately.

When the results were announced, the team members didn't say anything, neither showed surprise nor frustration, and continued to train calmly.

However, seeing everyone's reaction, Xu Xi's face became more and more ugly, and he sat silently in the rest area, unable to raise his spirits for a long time.

"The captain looks very listless."

As soon as Jiang Shize finished speaking, Chen Jiaqing sighed and said, "The captain's luck is not very good, and the results of the lottery every year are very bad."

Chen Jiaqing paused, and said worriedly: "The captain takes the game and the team very seriously, so the pressure is unavoidable."

Jiang Shi frowned, and kept looking at Xu Xi for a moment. Seeing the sad look on that person's face, he couldn't help but get a headache.

◇

In the evening, Jiang Shi insisted on going to the food street in the West District, but Xu Xi had no choice but to go with him even though he was not in a good mood.

Two people walked on the street, neither of them spoke first.Jiang Shi, on the other hand, looked very interested, looking around all the time, as if he was interested in everything.

"Captain, the grilled squid over there seems to be very good, do you want to have a look?"

Jiang Shize's purpose was the snacks here, and he seemed interested in everything he saw.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Xu Xi had been distracted for a long time, but Jiang Shi urged him repeatedly before he realized it.

"I mean, the grilled squid on the other side is pretty good, would you like to try it, Captain?"

Xu Xi wasn't interested, so he said perfunctorily, "Oh, go buy it, I'll wait for you here."

"Captain don't want it?"

"Well, I don't have much appetite."

Jiang Shi said no more, and happily ran to the opposite side.After a while, he came back with a bag, handed it to Xu Xi and said, "Let's eat together."

Xu Xi stretched out his hand to pick it up in a trance, but accidentally dropped it on the ground. When he saw Jiang Shi, he frowned, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I..."

Jiang Shize didn't say anything, instead he smiled and comforted him and said, "It's okay, I'll go buy some croquettes."

After finishing speaking, he went to another store. This time, Jiang Shi came back after a long time, holding a lot of bags in his hand, and said with a smile: "It looks delicious, so everything is delicious. I bought a copy of both."

Seeing Jiang Shize so happy, Xu Xi suddenly felt a little guilty, he should accompany him well, it is rare for the two of them to go out for a stroll.

"Jiang Shize..."

Just as Xu Xi opened his mouth, Jiang Shi asked with a smile, "Captain, do you want some croquettes?"

Xu Xi froze for a moment, but didn't react immediately.

Jiang Shi frowned, and asked with concern: "Is it true that you have no appetite?"

For a while, Xu Xi didn't know what to do.While he was thinking hard, Jiang Shi suddenly said, "Captain, don't put so much pressure on yourself, forget about the lottery."

Xu Xi couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he was told in one sentence, he stood there restrained, always feeling uncomfortable.

You shouldn't put pressure on yourself, and you shouldn't think too much, is that true?He is the captain...

Jiang Shi laughed suddenly, and handed Xu Xi a bunch of croquettes, Xu Xi took it in a daze, but didn't put it in his mouth.

"Captain." Jiang Shize didn't mind, and said with a normal expression: "It's not necessarily a bad thing to meet a strong team. If you can kill them in the first game, it can boost morale, right?"

Jiang Shi spoke casually, chewing food incessantly, but the smile in his eyes was soothing.

The quiet gentleness penetrated into Xu Xi's heart little by little. How could he not know that the other party was comforting him?

"Try it."

Jiang Shi leaned forward jokingly, and forced the croquettes into Xu Xi's mouth. Xu Xi opened his mouth helplessly, still thinking about what he said just now.

"It tastes good."

Without giving Xu Xi a chance to speak, Jiang Shi asked with great interest.

Xu Xi tasted it carefully, nodded subconsciously, and said in agreement, "Mmm, it's delicious."

"Then try the crispy salted chicken."

As he spoke, Jiang Shi stuffed another piece in the past. Before Xu Xi could react, his mouth was already blocked.

"its not bad, right?"

Just as Xu Xi nodded, Jiang Shi handed over a glass of freshly squeezed juice.

"There are burnt jelly grass in it, the boss specially added it to me."

Jiang Shize looked like he got a bargain, so Xu Xi couldn't help but want to have a taste.

During the rounds of food bombing, Jiang Shi no longer mentioned the lottery, nor did he try his best to comfort him.However, he used another way to pull Xu Xi into the lively environment, making him temporarily forget about other things.

Whether it was infected by Jiang Shize's good spirits, or because he listened to the other party's words, Xu Xi tried his best to put aside negative emotions, just like what Jiang Shize said, put those pressures behind his head, and never Think about these annoying things.

Jiang Shi didn't mention it too much. He saw a small shop selling rice rolls along the way, took Xu Xi to sit down, and ordered a lot of things.Jiang Shi is always interested in all kinds of snacks, his appetite is infinite, no matter how much he can stuff into it.

There were only the two of them on the bench, and the food was served very quickly.Just as Xu Xi picked up the chopsticks, he found that Jiang Shi did not move.

"What's wrong?"

Turning his head, he saw Jiang Shize holding a mobile phone in his hand, and the camera was facing him. Before he could make a sound, he heard a "click".

"The mobile phone that the coach brought you to buy?"

Knowing that Jiang Shi didn't like to use mobile phones, Xu Xi inevitably felt a little strange.

"Well, I changed numbers with the captain."

Xu Xi was taken aback, and subconsciously took out his mobile phone, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Shize's name added to it.

"Didn't you say that you are not used to using mobile phones?"

Jiang Shi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said as a matter of course: "Well, I'm not used to it, but it's different now."

Saying that, before Xu Xi could make a sound, Jiang Shi suddenly took his hand and put it on his lap quietly.

"I can't let the captain find me, and I also want to be able to contact the captain at any time."

Xu Xi blushed, and reflexively wanted to break free, but found that Jiang Shize was so strong that he couldn't pull back.

"on the street……"

"There's no one around."

It was true that there were only the two of them at this table, but to say that there was no one on the street would be pure nonsense.

"Jiang Shize!"

Xu Xi yelled in a low voice helplessly, but the man looked like he had succeeded and refused to let go.

"Just a moment."

When he saw Jiang Shi, he greeted him with a smile, and put on an appearance of begging for mercy, how could Xu Xi refuse.

Fingers intertwined, not just nervous, but her heartbeat speeded up unconsciously, with a faint warmth, so sweet that it made people feel unreal.

The number of guests gradually increased, Xu Xi quickly withdrew his hand, pretending to be angry and said, "Don't you want to eat? The rice rolls are almost cold."

Xu Xi had already started, and Jiang Shi was still fiddling with the phone. At this moment, Xu Xi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "What did you take just now?"

"Nothing."

Jiang Shi smiled smugly, as if nothing happened.

"Hey."

Xu Xi frowned, and subconsciously reached for his mobile phone. Unexpectedly, Jiang Shi suddenly raised his hand, and Xu Xi accidentally fell on his lap.The upper body almost fell into Jiang Shize's arms, and the chests were firmly pressed together, and they could even feel each other's heartbeats.

Her heart was beating wildly, her breathing became rapid, and her face was burning hot, but she couldn't bear the warmth of close contact.

"team leader."

Jiang Shi called softly, put his arms around Xu Xi's shoulders, and helped him sit up.

Looking at the expression on Jiang Shize's face, any idiot would know that he did it on purpose, but can Xu Xi blame him?

His heart was beating wildly, even if Xu Xi stuffed something into his mouth desperately, he couldn't restrain the fluctuation in his heart.Afraid that the other party would see his current mood, he ate indiscriminately while covering up, and when his mouth was dry, he choked on another mouthful of hot soup.

"Captain, eat slowly."

Jiang Shi wiped his mouth with a tissue without hesitation, and patted his back with the other hand. The thoughtful "service" made Xu Xi feel warm and sweet.

Whether it's joking or comforting each other, Jiang Shi can always measure things just right. Is it because he has dated many people?

Xu Xi turned his head to look at Jiang Shize. The man was concentrating on eating. When he saw his eyes, he would smile at him, and he didn't mind being watched and eaten.

Would Jiang Shize be so gentle when interacting with other people?

I know I shouldn't think so much, but Xu Xi can't restrain his emotions.He can only force himself to turn his attention to other places, for example, telling the game.

"There are still half a month until the summer league, and the coach will let you play, so don't gamble outside during this time."

Jiang Shi raised his lips and smiled, and readily agreed, "Okay."

Xu Xi was taken aback, he didn't expect him to answer so quickly, when he was about to say something, Jiang Shi was attracted by other things.

"Captain, let's go play with that thing."

Throwing down a bunch of empty plates, Jiang Shi dragged Xu Xi across the road and hurried to the claw machine.

"You want to play this?"

The ones who just left were a young couple, and they knew it was something that little girls like.

"Yup."

Jiang Shi focused on the game explanation, holding the joystick and touching the buttons, thinking about it seriously.

"It's something for children to play with..."

Jiang Shi didn't care what Xu Xi said at all, he just stared at the various dolls in the machine, and asked enthusiastically, "What does the captain like? Mickey, Pooh, or Tigger?"

"Ah? Tigger... No, you really want to play this?"

I don't know if it was his own illusion, but Xu Xi always felt that the boss next to him was staring at them all the time.

"Well, that's Tigger."

"Jiang Shize!"

"The captain doesn't believe in my ability? Although it's the first time I'm playing, I'm very confident."

Seeing Jiang Shize's confident expression, Xu Xi only felt a headache.

Do you really want to play?Or the Tigger of the flannel toy...

"I have seen a lot of crane machines a long time ago, but the things inside are too ugly. I didn't expect the goods in this one to be very good."

When he was at home, Jiang Shize played video games all day long. He didn't expect that he wouldn't even let the claw machine go.

"Absolutely no problem!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shize actually hoisted a Minnie to him.Although it was not what he originally wanted, it was enough to make him full of confidence.

"Captain, you hold it first, you will definitely be able to lift Tigger this time."

Xu Xi took Minnie in a daze, and watched Jiang Shize helplessly throwing four coins in.

"actually……"

Actually, he didn't want Tigger either...

"It will be fine soon, this time, there will definitely be no problem."

Jiang Shi was so serious, so focused, and moved the hook little by little, that Xu Xi couldn't even say "no need".

It was strange enough for two big men to stand in front of the claw machine. What's more, they were both over 1.8 meters tall and over 25 years old. They didn't look like middle school students with strong curiosity.

"Successful!"

It is undeniable that Jiang Shize did have a talent for playing games, and he was hoisted to the Tigger he wanted for the third time, and he happily stuffed things into Xu Xi's arms.

Just when Xu Xi thought they could leave at last, Jiang Shi looked at the other fabric toys excitedly, and said to himself, "What are you going to do next? That Pooh looks so cute."

As he said that, before Xu Xi could dissuade him, Jiang Shi had already put the coin into it, and happily continued to fight with the claw machine.

Seeing Jiang Shize looking like a big boy, Xu Xi shook his head helplessly, and couldn't bear to drag him away.However, the young men and women queuing up at the back, don't they look a little strange?

bad enough...

Holding a Minnie Mouse and a Tigger in his arms, Xu Xi stood beside him awkwardly, forcing himself to focus on the claw machine so as not to look more embarrassed.

Could it be that this is the difference between him and Jiang Shize?That person can completely ignore the eyes of others, why can't he?

Thinking of this, Xu Xi couldn't help but feel frustrated, and worried about more things because of this difference.

Jiang Shize played a total of seven times and got four dolls. The results are quite fruitful, enough to make the young girls in line behind envy.

However, Xu Xi would rather not be envious.The two big men each held two dolls, and they looked so strange walking on the street.Not to mention, how Jiang Shi showed off his level with pride, and teased him with the doll from time to time.

Although I felt embarrassed, seeing Jiang Shize so happy, Xu Xi's mood also improved, and the original troubles gradually disappeared, replaced by Jiang Shize's affairs.

Is it Jiang Shize's influence on him, or is he comforting himself in this way?No matter which one it is, Xu Xi's heart will be warm.Sometimes I feel distressed, sometimes I feel happy, maybe this is the feeling of being in love.

While talking about tomorrow's training, when passing by the basketball court, suddenly, someone shouted from a distance: "Hey, Jiang Shize."

The two stopped and looked towards the basketball court. A man in his 30s was waving at them.

"Jiang Shize, this way."

"who's that person?"

"Oh, we played basketball together."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man said again: "Come on, we happen to be short of one person, and the stakes this time are very high."

"Captain, wait for me."

Jiang Shi forgot that he had promised Xu Xi something during the meal, and put the doll in his hand into the other's arms, and he ran over excitedly.

"Jiang Shize."

Halfway there, Xu Xi suddenly stopped him.

Jiang Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that he frowned and asked, "Is it not possible?"

Does this need to be asked?Of course not!Didn't you just say that you can't gamble before the summer league?What if I get hurt?

Xu Xi held back his words, but he couldn't say a word.At this time, Jiang Shi looked at him helplessly, he didn't ask for anything deliberately, and he didn't agree to the other party's invitation on his own.However, it was this expression that made Xu Xi unable to stop him.

"Be careful not to get hurt."

Xu Xi sighed helplessly, and finally agreed.

Jiang Shi was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Captain, isn't it against the rules?"

Hearing this, Xu Xi looked at Jiang Shize dully. Obviously, the other party still remembered what he said.But, didn't he also agree?

"I can't help but like it, and, once in a while..."

Before he finished speaking, there was another yelling, Jiang Shi smiled and said to them, "Come right away", and then said to Xu Xi: "Captain, let's take a look together."

Xu Xi didn't refuse, and followed Jiang Shize in a daze.

His heart was in a mess, although he said that when he saw Jiang Shize being happy, he would be happy too.However, Jiang Shi obviously didn't care about what he promised himself. It wasn't disrespect or ignorance. The problem was the change of mood.If he said "no", Jiang Shi would also refuse the other party's invitation, but that doesn't mean he really didn't want to...

Jiang Shi just likes to do what he wants to do, and he doesn't care about other things that he is not interested in.Very self-willed, not steady...

Xu Xi was thinking distressedly, is such Jiang Shize really suitable for him?There was a bit of worry in my heart, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
