Feed You Sweets - Chapter 21
Wei Ruxia likes to be with her grandmother. Luo Tao did not ask her on weekends and went to the school gym to participate in the pre-league training of the basketball team.
The campus was very quiet on Saturdays. Occasionally, teachers and students who worked overtime walked by. Luo Tao carried his bag and went straight into the gymnasium.
Before entering the door, the sound of basketball slapping the basketball court and basketball shoes rubbing the ground came out, adding some vitality to the quiet campus.
Luo Tao’s appearance is conspicuous, and as soon as he walked in, the basketball players who were training looked over. The teenager is dressed in casual long clothes and trousers, tall and slender, with headphones hanging around his neck, a pale face and a cool temperament.
Wang Ye was instructing everyone to practice. After seeing Luo Tao come in, he smiled and waved: “Luo Tao is here, come here.”
Everyone on the basketball team knew that Wang Ye had found a foreign aid, but they didn’t expect that the person they were looking for was Luo Tao. Although Luo Tang has a cold personality and does not like to show up, his existence is particularly eye-catching, and it is difficult for everyone to know it.
Luo Tao walked over, Wang Ye patted him on the shoulder, and introduced to everyone: “This is Luo Tao. Everyone has seen it. He often plays basketball here. I will find him to replace Lai Qing. Li Haoshu, Cooperate with him.”
As soon as Wang Ye finished speaking, the tall boy standing in front of him responded. He is tall and strong, with white skin, single eyelids, and a good-looking appearance. He looks very sunny.
Hearing what the coach said, Li Haoshu glanced at Luo Yuan. There was no emotion in this look. He turned around and said to Wang Ye: “I know the coach.”
After the arrangement, Wang Ye clapped his hands and said, “Okay, go to train!”
The order was reached, the team members dispersed, Wang Ye turned around and said to Luo Tao: “You go change your clothes, I will see your cooperation.”
Originally, Wang Ye was worried that although Luo Tang could pass the basketball skills, he could not cooperate. After watching them play two games, Wang Ye not only relaxes, but also feels that Luo Tao is a good seed for practicing basketball.
He has a higher probability of scoring a three-pointer than Lai Qing, and he has been adjusting himself to adapt to Li Haoshu’s movements, and even other players don’t need to make more adjustments, and he can quickly integrate himself in.
After watching two games, Wang Ye went from being relieved to being happy. He got up out of the gym and went to the office to record the exercises on the computer.
The training within the basketball team is very systematic. Although everyone has the habit of playing for everyone, in general, the fixed training mode remains the same, and Luo Tao integrates quickly.
But this fixed training mode gradually became irregular after Wang Ye left.
Li Haoshu’s pass affected the pass of the person next to him, and finally to Luo Tang, the distance from the rebound was even longer. He noticed this change, and when he missed the second goal, Luo Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Li Haoshu in front of him.
The basketball made a circle around the hoop and finally escaped the hoop and fell to the ground. The sound of basketball hitting the court sounded, “bang, bang, bang”, and finally stopped in Li Haoshu’s hands.
Li Haoshu was holding the basketball with one hand, looking at Luo Tang, frowning, biting his teeth, and throwing the basketball towards Luo Tang.
“Do you **** play basketball!?”
He is already a tall man, and this time he also used ten percent of his strength. After this basketball, he will definitely be injured.
When the players exclaimed, the basketball arrived in front of Luo Tang, only to see that his face remained unchanged, and he reached out to shoot the basketball to the side. The basketball turned sharply under the force and fell to the ground with a loud noise. At the same time, Luo Tao took a long leg and rushed to Li Hao to write, and at the moment when everyone did not react, she kicked Li Haoshu’s chest. Li Shuhao didn’t react, he staggered back and fell to the ground. Luo Tang came over to overwhelm him, put one knee against his chest, grabbed his collar with one hand, and raised his fist.
“Throw another one to try.” Luo Tao said.
The whole process of Luo Tang overwhelming Li Haoshu was quick and smooth. His expression was calm and there was not much change at all. Even when speaking, the sound was like a bottomless lake, not even the small ripples blown by the wind.
Speaking of it, Li Haoshu is taller than Luo Tang. But right now, he was so crushed by Luo Tang that he could not move at all. Body and strength are not directly proportional, and now his strength is no better than Luo Tao.
Everyone in the team knew that Li Haoshu couldn’t understand Luo Tang. Wang Ye’s praise to Luo Tang made him uncomfortable. Second, Li Yawen, who he liked, liked him. He couldn’t understand the way that Luo Tang was praised by others but looked calm and calm. He felt that he was pretending to be compelling.
However, all this is nothing compared to participating in the league.
Li Haoshu is a sports student. He has already entered the third year of high school this year. The results of this league determine his grade in the university next year. He can’t make mistakes in this section.
Liu Renxiu, a member who is close to Li Haoshu, looked at this scene and said to Li Haoshu: “Li Haoshu, you caused these two mistakes. You apologize quickly.”
He weakened the contradiction between Li Haoshu and Luo Tang into that Li Haoshu did not admit his mistakes, so that Li Haoshu would not be unable to live with dignity because of the involvement of other levels.
Li Haoshu stared at Luo Yuan with his neck stubborn. After a long while, his eyebrows gradually loosened, and the back of his head hit the ground.
“I am sorry.”
This excuse me said neither too much nor too little, and the tone was light.
Luo Yun’s glance at him, a seemingly non-existent grin in his throat, and let go.
Had it not been for Wei Ruxia to accompany him to the basketball game, he would not bother to do it today.
Grandma spent the weekend with Wei Ruxia at home. On Monday, Wei Ruxia went to school before returning home. After two days of life accompanied by someone, Wei Ruxia was still a little uncomfortable as soon as her grandma left. But before her grandma told her that she could go to her house for the Spring Festival during the winter vacation, Wei Ruxia was faintly looking forward to the winter vacation.
It is mid-November. After the mid-term exam, after school on Friday afternoon, Wei Ruxia accompanied Luo Tao to Mucheng to participate in the basketball league.
Mucheng is not far from Ancheng, it takes only half an hour by high-speed train. Apart from Luo Tang, the members of the basketball team are all parents. Wei Ruxia didn’t care about this. When she was standing in front of the train station and waiting for the train, she looked back at the slowly opening green train on the track behind her.
Luo Tang stood in line behind her, watching Wei Ruxia standing opposite him, leaning to one side, crossing his body and looking behind. He glanced at the smile in Wei Ruxia’s eyes, and then glanced back.
“Want to sit?” When Luo Tao turned around, the green leather train had a little tail left, and gradually drove away from their sight.
Ancheng has developed rapidly, and now the green trains are basically abandoned, leaving only the high-speed rail running. The car Wei Ruxia saw just now was not a soliciting one, it was a soliciting cargo.
Withdrawing her gaze, Wei Ruxia looked up at Luo Tang. She nodded and said: “My mother told me that when she left Ancheng that year, she rode this kind of slow train. She ran like a little old man. , But you can see the scenery of most of the country along the way. The weather changes from cold to hot, from humid to dry, which is amazing.”
Wei Ruxia seldom mentioned her mother. Seeing the green leather train today, she thought of her somehow. With Luo Tang, I felt more relaxed than before, and I said so much before I knew it.
“I haven’t sat down, and I want to sit and watch.”
After speaking, Wei Ruxia smiled with Luo Tao again. I don’t know who said that the car was coming. Wei Ruxia turned around and followed the team into the car.
Luo Tang followed Wei Ruxia, and before he got on the train, he raised his eyes and glanced at the green train that had already disappeared from sight. The weather today is very good, and the evening sun sprinkled on the tracks, covering the thick and hard track with warmth.
Mucheng is north of Ancheng and the climate is colder and drier. The basketball league is held in the gymnasium in Mucheng District, and the players of various college basketball teams are arranged to stay in hotels near the basketball stadium.
Just arrived at the hotel, the league staff arranged for everyone to eat. Luo Tao and other players were taken to familiarize themselves with the venue, and they will have a game tomorrow morning.
Luo Tao and the others went to get acquainted with the venue. Wei Ruxia went back to the room to pack everything, and walked out of the hotel to the gymnasium.
In November, Mucheng was much colder than Ancheng. Wei Ruxia wore long trousers and pulled up the collar of his coat high, revealing only the high nose and heroic eyebrows.
When she went, Luo Tang and the others were almost over. She was afraid of disturbing Luo Tang’s training, so she stayed at the entrance of the basketball hall and waited.
It is now eight o’clock in the evening, the stadium is quite quiet, occasionally a small team of people will pass by, all players participating in the basketball league.
Everyone who plays basketball is not short, and Wei Ruxia also saw a few stand out from two meters. Tall is a talent, but also has shortcomings, relatively speaking, coordination is not very good.
Wei Ruxia doesn’t understand basketball, she just thinks about it. When thinking about it, Wang Ye’s voice came from the basketball hall.
“That’s it, take a rest early tonight, and maintain ample energy and energy.”
When Luo Tang went out, he saw Wei Ruxia standing under the magnolia tree not far away. She was dressed in dark clothes and hidden into the night, with only a small face, white and eye-catching.
After Wang Ye made arrangements, everyone disbanded and Luo Tang got up and walked towards her.
Luo Tang had just finished playing, and there was still a rush of heat on his body. The heat on the boy’s body was refreshing and clean, and it made others feel energetic.
He was wearing a jacket on top and basketball shoes and basketball shorts underneath. Wei Ruxia glanced at his tight and slender calves and asked, “Isn’t it cold?”
“It’s not cold.” Luo Tang didn’t sweat much after exercising, but his body was still hot. He glanced around and said, “Walk?”
It’s only eight o’clock, and I can’t sleep when I go back, so I might as well go out and stroll around. And before the game, you have to keep your body and mind happy. It’s better to relax.
“Okay.” Wei Ruxia jumped down from the small steps beside the magnolia tree and followed Luo Tao.
This gymnasium is very large. There are Mucheng Botanical Garden and Mucheng Park nearby, and it has also been turned into a large garden. There are no people near the basketball stadium, but walking forward, you will encounter citizens walking.
Mucheng is dominated by hills and is considered a mountain city. The road is very flat, but the terrain is up and down, as if walking up and down a mountain. They walked along the path by the wall of the gymnasium. The sidewalks were covered with floor tiles, and the obsessive-compulsive disorder looked very comfortable.
Behind the high wall next to it is the Mucheng Botanical Garden. Wei Ruxia was talking to Luo Tang, and looked up at the plants protruding from behind the high wall.
The terrain is uneven along the way, and the high wall is sometimes high and sometimes low. The branches and flowers on the other side of the high wall can sometimes be reached by reaching out, and sometimes they may not be reachable by jumping.
“Which school are you going to fight with tomorrow morning?” Wei Ruxia looked up at the outstretched branches in the botanical garden, chatting with Luo Tao one by one.
Luo Tang walked beside her, and the shadows of the two people were drawn closer and farther away by the street lamps, close to each other. He stepped on the floor tiles, buried his chin under the collar, and faintly responded, “Mucheng No.1 Middle School.”
When I first came, I met the host, and it was a powerful host. It will be harder to fight tomorrow morning.
After Luo Tang finished speaking, Wei Ruxia beside her did not respond. She suddenly quickened her pace and started trotting. When Luo Tang looked up, Wei Ruxia was jumping up with strength, reaching out to reach the branches of the botanical garden by the wall.
Clusters of lavender flowers bloomed on the branches. The girl was tall and light and had good jumping ability. However, the branches were too high, and her jump was only enough for a leaf.
Wei Ruxia pinched a leaf and fell to the ground.
The terrain of this place is a bit high, and the wall is as high as hers, and the branches of trees are on the wall, which is even higher. She raised her eyes and looked over, and there was only this place nearby.
Wei Ruxia stepped back, ready to run again to take advantage of her strength. But as soon as she backed her back foot, she leaned against a person’s chest. The two of them were close to each other, with a pair of arms wrapped around her waist. She only felt that the waist was hooped by someone, and Wei Ruxia’s legs were off the ground.
She was picked up by the whole body, and the top of her hair touched the branch, which made her wink and looked back at the teenager who had picked her up from behind.
The young man raised his head slightly, Qingjun’s face was glowing coldly under the street lamp, but his eyes, which had always been as deep as a pool of cold, were warm.
He hugged Wei Ruxia, facing the line of sight she was looking at, the young man’s breath was steady, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
“Pick it.” Luo Tang said.
Wei Ruxia laughed, her brows and eyes crooked. She stretched out her arms and broke the branches, and then she took two branches and the flowers on them and was put down by Luo Tao.
As soon as her feet landed, Wei Ruxia glanced around. There was no one. She relaxed and looked down at the flowers in her hands.
Luo Tang looked at her and smiled and asked, “Do you like hibiscus?”
Compared with the name hibiscus, Wei Ruxia prefers to call it Infinite Flower.
“Yeah.” Wei Ruxia replied, and reached out to touch the hibiscus flowers. “My hometown is very cold in winter, and there are not many flowers and trees that can feed outside. There is an endless flower forest on the hillside in our town. Going to Infinity Flower is like seeing our hometown.”
The winter temperature in Dongzhen reaches minus 30 or 40 degrees, and it is difficult for flowers and plants to survive. In winter, the people in the town will wrap them with straw to protect them from the cold. Wei Ruxia grew up watching the endless flower forest grow up, the endless flowers are endless, symbolizing the vigorous vitality and the place where she grew up.
There are many kinds of flowers and plants here in Ancheng, and infinite flowers are insignificant. Wei Ruxia has never seen it in Ancheng, and unexpectedly encountered it in Mucheng.
Looking at Infinity Flower, and thinking of the green leather train that I saw in the evening, Wei Ruxia seemed to have broken a mouth in a closed place in her heart. Something gurgled out of it, making her a little inexplicable.
She pursed her lips, raised her head and smiled at Luo Yan, and said, “Let’s go back and rest soon.”
She obviously had something to say, but she held back. Luo Tang did not ask further, nodded and agreed.
Ancheng No. 1 High School scored well in this basketball game. After the game was played on Sunday afternoon, the players packed their things and returned to Ancheng. Everyone gathered at the entrance of the hotel, waiting to take them to the bus at the high-speed rail station.
Wei Ruxia was carrying a backpack, holding a glass bottle in her arms with water in it, and two hibiscus flower branches with flower bones.
After two days of exchanges and understanding, the team members also met Wei Ruxia. Before I knew her, I had only heard of her going to the art class to block people, thinking she was a fierce and brave little sister. But after getting to know each other in the past two days, I found that she is a good-natured and talkative person, and I feel very comfortable with her.
“Isn’t this Hibiscus? Mucheng’s Chenghua. What are you doing with this?” The team’s center, Liu Renxiu, is a wheat-skinned little brother. He is a stubborn man and can chat with others.
“Yeah.” Wei Ruxia gave him a smile and said, “I want to take it home and plant it.”
The infinite flower has a very strong vitality, and a branch can grow into a tree.
“Awesome.” Liu Renxiu praised, looking at Wei Ruxia and said: “You are really thinking. Did you pick it in the Botanical Garden?”
Just as Wei Ruxia was about to answer, Luo Tao who was standing next to her suddenly spoke.
“I held her and picked it on the high wall of the gymnasium.”
There was a smile on Liu Renxiu’s face, and several team members next to him looked over, glanced at Luo Tang, and Liu Renxiu. Liu Renxiu looked at Luo Tang, coughed and stopped.
Seeing that they suddenly stopped talking, Wei Ruxia said: “The wall is very high, so we added our height.”
Next to him, Liu Renxiu laughed again. While smiling, he looked at Luo Tao and said, “Well, I see.”
It was already five o’clock in the afternoon when they returned to Love’s apartment with Luo Tang. Luo Tao played basketball for a day, but Wei Ruxia didn’t say much to him. At the door of the house, Wei Ruxia and Luo Tao said goodbye to go home.
“Give me a branch.” Luo Tao stood beside Wei Ruxia, looked at the glass bottle and hibiscus flower branch she was holding, and said.
“Do you want to plant it?” She didn’t expect that Luo Tao would be interested in hibiscus flowers. She smiled, unhesitatingly took the flower branch that looked better to feed and handed it to him, “This is a good life.”
The underside of the flower branches was wet with the water in the glass bottle, and when Luo Tang took it, his fingertips were also wet. He looked at the half-wet flower branch, and the bright black eyes under his long eyelashes lifted slightly to meet Wei Ruxia’s gaze.
“homesick?”
She was standing in front of her house now, and Luo Yuan asked her if she was homesick. Wei Ruxia listened to his words, the smile on her face gradually disappeared and then expanded again.
“It’s kind of.” Wei Ruxia was not hypocritical. She looked at Luo Tao and said in a relaxed tone: “But it’s also nice here, with grandma, classmates, and a good friend like you. Now there are endless flowers, you can watch Home is wherever you go.”
Listening to her, Luo Tang waved the hibiscus flower branch in his hand, pointed to his yard, and said, “I planted it there.”
The direction he put his finger in was exactly where Wei Ruxia’s bedroom window could see. Wei Ruxia felt numb and looked at the young man’s slightly raised chin, as if some emotion crawled onto her cheek.
Wei Ruxia’s face was hot, and she smiled and said, “Okay.”
Separated from Luo Tang, Wei Ruxia returned home holding the bottle. She had to put things down first, and then went out to plant flowers. She opened the door of the house, and when she looked up, she saw Wei Zishan sitting in the living room.
Since she came, Wei Zishan has rarely appeared in the living room. He originally looked out the window, and when he heard the door opening, he looked back.
Wei Ruxia saw the haggardness on his face and the red blood streaks on his eyes, and a bad premonition gradually surged in her heart.
“Your grandma’s physical examination result is out.” Wei Zishan said.
The author has something to say:
Tangtang: The point is to hold, hold her picked.
