"What kind of riddle are you playing?"

"What happened to old He?"

"We are all brothers. Is there anything we can't see?"

Zhou Ding didn't say anything, but looked down at the picture sent by He Xinyang.

He remembered the picture.

This is the screenshot he sent to He Xinyang on the day when Xia Yu and him confirmed their relationship. In it, Xia Yu's avatar and nickname were all mosaiced, and the key information in the chat content was all blurred, but even though he was so careful, it still appeared. There are mistakes.

He left out that very ordinary-looking, normal-looking photo!

It was the sunset photo that Xia Yu took for him.

In the photos, there are sunsets, stray cats, a corner of a flower bed, the wall and the red clouds in the distance, and the inconspicuous roofs of buildings reflected in the clouds like black shadows.

At that time, I didn't think there was anything at all, but it was just an ordinary sunset picture.

Not even a single person appeared in it, and there were no landmark buildings. Stray cats, flower beds, and walls were all so normal that they couldn't be more normal, but looking at them now...

Zhou Ding pursed his lips, his eyes darkened.

[He Xinyang: Two of those stray cats are very familiar. I saw them in school. They often bask in the sun on the road next to the dormitory. 】

[He Xinyang: The tiled walls are only found in the old faculty dormitory. 】

[He Xinyang: And this building. 】

He Xinyang circled the dark shadow in the picture.

[He Xinyang: This should be the spire of the pagoda of Wen'an Temple. 】

[He Xinyang: Am I right? 】

After posting, He Xinyang looked at Zhou Ding.

He had already suspected it.

After all, Zhou Ding had to go out for several days a week, and their roommates could see it.

Moreover, Zhou Ding always went out at night and came back before dawn the next day.

Meeting his girlfriend was like being a thief, which made him, the most experienced and oldest elder brother in the dormitory, not help being vigilant, worried that Zhou Ding, a rookie in love, would be cheated.

He asked several times, and every time Zhou Ding said that his girlfriend had few classes, that's why he came here often.

But this is completely inconsistent with He Xinyang's perception of girls.

No matter how affectionate you are, no matter how few classes you have, you won’t be running back and forth between the two cities every day just to see Zhou Ding, and even if you love each other so much that you have to meet, boys should take the initiative, not girls. The child ran over to meet the boy every three days, and hurried back to class the next day.

He had been suspicious for a long time, but Zhou Ding obviously didn't want to talk about it, and he was not easy to ask, so he usually just asked a few casually, making sidelines.

However, Zhou Ding's mouth was really tight, and he could hardly get any useful information. It was only when he found this photo in the chat history one day that he finally got a clue.This time, I took the opportunity to ask Zhou Ding, hoping to get a certain letter.

[He Xinyang: Did you fall in love with a teacher? 】

[He Xinyang: The teacher is from the Academy of Fine Arts, right?You've been running to the Academy of Fine Arts recently, and you asked Xia Yu to cover you? 】

Zhou Ding: "?"

Zhou Ding: "..."

He stared blankly at the phone, his heart suddenly dropped back in his throat.

But in He Xinyang's eyes, Zhou Ding's daze was tantamount to acquiescing to his guess.

He turned off the phone, shook his head and pointed at Zhou Ding, "Are you sure? Isn't brother very good? Huh?"

"What, what! What are you talking about?"

"He Gou, did you really guess it?"

"Who is it?"

He Xinyang shook his head and didn't say anything, his expression frightened: "I won't say it, you can ask Team Zhou yourself."

In this way, he has a solid foundation in his mind, and Zhou Ding's previous behavior can also be explained.

It turned out to be a teacher-student relationship, no wonder it was hidden and dared not see the light.The surrounding environment is indeed not very friendly to the relationship between teachers and students, and it is right for them not to disclose it.

He Xinyang's mind was spinning all over the place, and Zhou Ding's brain was also spinning fast.

Suddenly, Zhou Ding raised his cup and touched He Xinyang: "Brother, I toast you."

He raised his chin at He Xinyang, and He Xinyang nodded at him with a clear face.

The two looked at each other with a smile and drank the wine.

it is more than words.

Xia Yu saw the interaction between the two of them, but even he couldn't figure out the twists and turns.

But he couldn't ask anything, he could only endure his confusion and continue to eat in silence.

Suddenly, a hand fell on his leg which was covered by the tablecloth.

Then, that hand lightly patted his leg twice.

The uneasiness in his heart was appeased in an instant, Xia Yu's drooping eyelashes trembled, he picked up the wine glass, covered the corners of his mouth, and let out a low breath.

They couldn't figure it out anyway, and everyone didn't bother to guess, Wu Le suggested: "Would you like to sing K after dinner?"

Song Yang waved his hand: "I'm out of strength, I just want to go back and have a good sleep."

Lin Fan said: "Me too, the day of training or competition every day is finally over, I'm almost exhausted."

Wu Le shrugged her shoulders and said, "Okay."

After eating and drinking enough, the group took the bus back to school.

It wasn't until everyone sat down and the car started that Xia Yu asked Zhou Ding in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"Look at your phone." Zhou Ding sent Xia Yu a screenshot of his chat with He Xinyang.

Xia Yu only glanced at it, then frowned slightly, bowed her head and typed——

[Xia Yu: Why did you send him a screenshot of our chat? 】

[Zhou Ding: I panicked at that time, thinking that you didn't want me anymore, so I asked him to help me out.I made the mosaic very carefully, but I didn't expect to miss this photo. 】

After posting, Zhou Ding looked at Xia Yu nervously.

Xia Yu couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this, he stretched out his hand, patted the back of Zhou Ding's hand comfortingly, and mouthed: "It's okay, don't be nervous."

"Is it all right?"

Xia Yu nodded again: "Really."

As he said that, he bent his eyes, and there seemed to be light flowing in his dark eyes.He smiled at Zhou Ding, then gave him another meaningful look, then lowered his eyes and typed again——

【Xia Yu: Hello, Classmate Zhou^_^】

These words turned into a breeze, blowing softly to Zhou Ding's heart.

He couldn't help but raised the corners of his lips, his nervousness receded, and a full smile appeared in his eyes.

He and Xia Yu finally have exclusive titles too!

The villain in my heart punched with joy.Zhou Ding pursed his lips to hold back a smile, lowered his head, and typed seriously to reply——

【Zhou Ding: Hello, Teacher Xia^_^】

Back in the dormitory, Wu Le yelled that she was bored, and insisted on dragging everyone to an Internet cafe to have fun. Of course, she didn't call Zhou Ding, because Zhou Ding didn't play games.

In the end, He Xinyang and Lin Fan didn't go, Wu Le dragged Zhao Xiunan and the others away.

As soon as the people left, the room suddenly became quiet.

Lin Fan was in a hurry to sleep, so he grabbed the towel and went to the bathroom to take a shower. With a bang, the door closed, and only Zhou Ding and He Xinyang were left in the room.

The two looked at each other, and He Xinyang laughed happily and raised his hand.

Zhou Ding understood, stretched out his hand and punched him.

"Don't say it." Zhou Ding directly admitted the teacher-student relationship.

He Xinyang smiled: "Is it still unclear to me?"

"I believe you."

He Xinyang was overjoyed, and folded his arms around his chest: "Don't worry."

After finishing speaking, he asked worriedly, "Is the other party single?"

Zhou Ding nodded.

"Just be single."

He Xinyang patted Zhou Ding on the shoulder, "Teacher-student love is nothing, don't worry about it, brothers support you anyway. But I really didn't expect that you actually like the type of big sister. How much older is the other party than you?"

Zhou Ding touched his nose: "Not much."

"That's right, most of the renters there are fresh graduates."

He Xinyang asked again, "Aren't you going today?"

Zhou Ding shook his head: "Rest today."

After a pause, he coughed softly, "I'm going out tomorrow."

He Xinyang: "Huh——"

Lin Fan came out of the battle shower: "What are you doing there?"

He Xinyang waved his hand and walked to the bathroom: "I'm jealous that other people have a girlfriend!"

Zhou Ding smiled and said nothing.

The divisional competition has come to an end, and the round of sixteen will not begin until May.

In the middle of half a month, I can relax a little bit, and I don’t have to go to the basketball club to report every morning.Zhou Ding didn't have to think about the extra time, he must have spent it with Xia Yu.

He has already made an appointment with Xia Yu to go to a private gymnasium in the west of the city tomorrow.

You need a VIP card to enter there, and the stadiums are separated separately, which is extremely private.He intends to teach Xia Yu to play basketball there, maybe they will still fall in love there.

No, no, not maybe.

Rather yes.

Neither of them could hold it back.

Xia Yu couldn't resist the way he played basketball, and when he thought of Xia Yu's appearance in basketball uniform, he was already a little distracted.

It's strange to be able to hold on.

Zhou Ding thought.

The next day is Saturday and there are no classes.

Xia Yu didn't get up until 08:30. After getting up, he didn't rush to change clothes. Instead, he washed his face and brushed his teeth. After washing, he stood in front of the bed and looked at the two clothes on top with a slightly hesitant expression—— He was wearing a red basketball jersey that Zhou Ding bought for him, and he was wearing normal clothes when he went out today.

Do you wear the basketball jersey directly underneath it or...

Change at the venue?

Or, let Zhou Ding personally help him put on this basketball outfit?

Xia Yu was a little confused.

He still wants to play basketball for a while first. If he chooses three, he feels that he may not even touch the ball today.

Well……

He chooses three.

Without much hesitation, Xia Yu made a decision.

He changed into the clothes next to him, put all the basketball equipment into his bag, then went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast, and took a taxi towards the private gymnasium in the west of the city.

On the way, he received a call from Zhou Ding.

"Where have you been?"

Xia Yu glanced at the time displayed on the navigation: "There are still 10 minutes."

"I asked the waiter to wait at the door, and you can follow him later."

Xia Yu: "Yes." After arriving at the destination, there was indeed someone waiting at the door.

Xia Yu put on a mask and followed the waiter into the venue.

This stadium is so big that you can't see the end at a glance. It has everything in it, including basketball, tennis, football, even baseball and golf. It is a very large comprehensive sports hall.

It is also very quiet inside, even if you pass by the door, you can hardly hear the movement inside.

Xia Yu couldn't help thinking, the sound insulation here is very good, enough for privacy.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou is waiting for you in this box." The waiter stopped and said.

Xia Yu nodded: "Thank you."

He took out his card and swiped it on the door.

With a beep, the door opened, and he saw Zhou Ding standing by the door waiting.

Zhou Ding was wearing a red basketball uniform, which fit his figure closely, and there was no protective clothing inside.

The exposed arm muscles were bulging, with smooth lines, and there was a slight thin layer of sweat.He has the ball in his hand and seems to have been playing for a while.

"Waiting for a long time?" Xia Yu said.

Zhou Ding closed the door: "No. Have you had breakfast?"

"Ate."

"Then go change your clothes."

Xia Yu didn't answer, but glanced inside: "Is the dressing room there?"

He lifted his chin toward a door in the corner.

Zhou Ding nodded: "Yes."

There was no outsider here, Xia Yu rolled his eyes and smiled at Zhou Ding, then put his hand on Zhou Ding's wrist, and pulled him towards the locker room.He said--

"I want you to change it for me."
