"Have a seat! Have a drink! " Xie Wanjun, who was wearing a sweatshirt and shorts, said to Hao Ren. He picked up a bottle of beer in the corner and opened it. "Yujia, have a drink too."
"Ok, just a little," Xie Yujia picked up a glass and said softly.
Xie Wanjun didn't force his sister. He poured a thin layer for her, picked up two empty cups, and filled them to the brim.
Seeing Xie Wanjun's enthusiasm and the fact that he was Xie Yujia's brother, Hao Ren didn't want to refuse. He picked up a glass and took a sip.
"I've figured out what happened a while ago." Xie Wanjun raised his glass and said, "I apologize for the misunderstanding!"
Hao Ren picked up his glass and clinked glasses with him. "It's okay. It's just a small matter."
"Ok, here's what I'm thinking." Xie Wanjun went straight to the point. "Those idiots on the Basketball Team always cause trouble. That's why I'm not going to let them play in the game against Jinghua. I'm going to kick them out to teach them a lesson."
Hao Ren sensed that Xie Wanjun had more to say and waited for him to continue.
Sure enough, Xie Wanjun continued, "However, those guys don't have any special skills other than basketball. If we don't let them play basketball, it's the same as cutting off their livelihood. That's why I'm still going to call them back after the game against Jinghua. What do you think?"
Seeing that Hao Ren didn't respond immediately, Xie Wanjun continued, "They promised me that they would cut ties with that bastard Huang Xujie and focus on playing basketball from now on."
Since Xie Wanjun was so sincere, Hao Ren didn't want to stop him anymore. He said, "If that's the case, then let's call them back."
"But," Hao Ren said immediately, "Zhao Jiayi has to be the main force, and he can't be replaced."
"Zhao Jiayi did well, but whether he can be the main force or not depends on his game next week." Xie Wanjun took a sip of his beer and said, "You know that his weakness is his height, but it's not necessarily a weakness. If he can turn this weakness into a positive, he can still be the core of the team. If he can still show good leadership skills, I can even give him my position as the captain of the Basketball Team. "
Xie Wanjun's words reassured Hao Ren. With these promises, Hao Ren felt that his trip today was worth it.
Xie Yujia listened to them talking about basketball while she sipped her beer. Very quickly, two red blossoms flew up on her tender white cheeks.
Xie Wanjun talked about basketball while eating and drinking. Suddenly, he changed the topic. "Then, we talked about Yujia."
He looked at Hao Ren and said, "I don't object to you pursuing Yujia, but there are a few things I need to tell you …"
Xie Yujia, who had been eating and sipping her beer, suddenly looked up in astonishment. She interrupted Xie Wanjun immediately, "Brother! What nonsense are you spouting! "
"I didn't say anything." Xie Wanjun looked at Xie Yujia innocently.
"You … you haven't told me yet!" Xie Yujia bit her lip and pouted.
"Hey, you were the one who told me that there was a good student named Hao Ren in the class …" Xie Wanjun said on purpose.
Xie Yujia's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple. She glared at Xie Wanjun and then turned to Hao Ren. "Don't listen to him."
However, her excuse only made things worse.
Xie Wanjun continued, "Don't tell me you still can't forget that …"
"Brother! You are too much! " Xie Yujia suddenly stood up and dragged Hao Ren away from his seat. Then, she ran to the door, opened the security door, and dashed out.
"Yujia!" Xie Wanjun yelled from inside the house.
"You can drink alone! You!" Xie Yujia dragged Hao Ren to the stairs and slammed the security door shut.
Hao Ren didn't expect things to turn out this way, and he didn't expect Xie Yujia to really lose her temper.
After they walked out of the building, Xie Yujia calmed down a bit. She turned to Hao Ren and asked, "Did you forget anything?"
"No." Hao Ren shook his head and looked up at the building. "Is this … okay?"
"He drank too much. Don't mind him!" Xie Yujia said angrily.
Then, Xie Yujia looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. You should go home. I'll walk you to the station."
"Ok." Hao Ren nodded.
Then, Xie Yujia led him out of the old and run-down neighborhood and toward the station.
While walking, Xie Yujia suddenly pouted and said, "Don't take what my brother said to heart. You and I are classmates, and we have become good friends recently. He thought too much. Besides, I've been with my brother for a long time, and I'm a bit careless sometimes. So … don't misunderstand. "
"Ok, I know," Hao Ren looked down at the tips of his shoes and answered as he walked.
"Actually, I already have someone I like," Xie Yujia thought for a moment and said suddenly.
Hao Ren hesitated for a moment. "Actually, I already have someone I like." These words hit him in the heart with a "bang".
"But it can only be considered one-sided love. You won't laugh at me, right? "Xie Yujia asked.
"Hehe, the person you like must be outstanding, right?" Hao Ren asked.
"Yeah. He is no longer in East Ocean City, but I believe he will come back one day, "Xie Yujia said.
"So, Xie Yujia studies so hard to be worthy of that guy." Hao Ren thought to himself.
The conversation ended abruptly. Hao Ren didn't ask anymore, and Xie Yujia didn't say anything else.
When they arrived at the bus stop, Xie Yujia walked Hao Ren onto the bus. Then, she waved and left. Sitting on the bus, Hao Ren looked at Xie Yujia's lonely figure in the sunset and suddenly felt a bit sad.
Xie Yujia was waiting for that guy. That was why she studied hard and didn't want to date anyone before the third year of university.
The bus started slowly, and Hao Ren leaned against the window and fell asleep before he knew it.
After returning to his home by the sea, he went into his room and fell asleep immediately. On the following weekend, he paid someone to install a simple basketball stand in the backyard and practiced hard.
"Is Ren alright? He has been playing basketball like crazy for the past two days," Grandma looked at the yard from the second-floor window and asked Yue Yang worriedly.
"He's fine. There is a basketball match next week, and that's why he has been practicing so hard," Yue Yang answered with a smile.
"I didn't know that our Ren could play basketball." Grandma laughed. "Can I go and watch the basketball game next week as well?" "That's a good idea.
"Mom, you don't know basketball …"
"Who said I don't know? I can at least watch Ren score!" Grandma said stubbornly.
"Ok, ok, ok. I will take you with me next week," Yue Yang had no choice but to nod. Grandma was the master of the family, and no one dared to disobey her.
Just like that, it was Monday. Hao Ren took a big bag of snacks that Grandma prepared for him and was driven to school by Yue Yang.
"Ren, the match is this Thursday night, right?" Yue Yang asked while driving.
"Yeah, it starts at 7 PM. Are you sure you want to come?" Hao Ren asked.
"Not only me, but Grandma will also come. Also, I called your dad yesterday and gave him a strict order. That's why he will come home early and watch you play basketball with us, "Yue Yang said.
Hao Ren thought, "I'm not the main player on the basketball team, and I don't want the whole family to come and watch me play basketball. That's too much. However, Grandma knows nothing about basketball, and she still came to watch me play. I can't relax this time. "
"Are you going to Zi's home to tutor her daughter tonight?" Yue Yang asked suddenly.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. It's just that Grandma misses Zi a lot, and she wants you to invite her family over for dinner," Yue Yang said.
"Ok, I will try my best." Hao Ren nodded.
Hao Ren knew that Grandma always wanted a beautiful granddaughter, and Zi's appearance could fulfill her wish.
As for Grandma's bigger wish, it was really …
It was only six o 'clock when he arrived at school, and Yue Yang still had time to drive back to work. Hao Ren carried a big bag of snacks and walked into the south dorm area outside the school and toward Dorm Building No.7.
Buzz … Buzz … The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
"So early in the morning …" Hao Ren took out his phone and saw that it was his dad's number.
"Hello." Hao Ren picked up the phone and thought, "Isn't he having a meeting in the U.S.? Why is he calling me all of a sudden?" But considering the time difference, it should be evening in the U.S.
"Ren!" Hao Zhonghua's voice was full of excitement. According to Hao Ren's experience, this kind of excitement would only appear when he made a breakthrough in a scientific research problem.
"Do you know who I met today?" Hao Zhonghua asked excitedly.
"Who?" Hao Ren asked lazily.
"Little Carrot's dad! Do you still remember Little Carrot? "Hao Zhonghua was still very excited.
"Oh, it's him?" Hao Ren's interest was piqued. "How is Uncle doing?"
"He opened a factory in the U.S. and is usually very busy. However, he earns more than 300,000 USD a year, and his life is not bad," Hao Zhonghua said.
"What about Little Carrot? She should be studying in a university in the U.S.? "Hao Ren asked. He was also a little excited. After all, she was a little girl who had grown up with him. Although his impression of her was vague, he still had some feelings for her.
They were almost the same age, and she had probably grown up from a little girl to a big girl. He wondered if she was still as pretty as she was when she was young, or if she was as weak and prone to crying as she was when she was young.
"I was just about to tell you about this!" Hao Zhonghua continued to say excitedly, "So, Little Carrot is still in China and studying at East Ocean University!"
"Ah?" Hao Ren was surprised. "Little Carrot didn't go abroad, and he is my schoolmate?"
"When Little Carrot went abroad, her parents thought that the education in the U.S. was too lax and that the basic education in China was better, so they sent her back to China to study. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you are both at East Ocean University, you should go and look for Little Carrot when you have time. "
"What is her name?" Hao Ren also asked excitedly.
Ever since he was young, he only remembered Little Carrot's nickname, but he never remembered her real name. Hao Zhonghua was used to calling her Little Carrot, so he didn't know her real name.
Just thinking about their reunion after more than 10 years made him excited. He wondered how Little Carrot was like now …
"Her name is Xie Yujia," Hao Zhonghua said on the phone from the other side of the ocean.
