Bang!
Hao Ren, who had half of his body in the car, suddenly straightened up and bumped his head on the door frame.
"Ren, are you ok?" Grandma asked Hao Ren anxiously from the back seat.
"I'm ok …" Hao Ren rubbed the back of his head and got into the car. "Hi, Uncle Xie."
"Hehe, you've grown so big after not seeing each other for so many years." Xie Ming looked at Hao Ren with a smile. "I still remember when you were a kid. You even knew how to do somersaults."
Hao Ren smiled in a simple and honest manner, but his heart was in a state of turmoil. "So, this is Xie Yujia's dad. Tonight …"
"Ming, Ren's basketball game is coming up. I'll drive them to the stadium first. Then, we can walk around the campus and relive the memories from back then," Hao Zhonghua started the car and said.
"Hehe, ok! I drove Yujia here when she got into university, but I didn't expect that I could walk around East Ocean University with you again! "Xie Ming said excitedly.
"Speaking of which, are you really not going to call your Little Carrot?" Hao Zhonghua asked.
"It's a basketball game. My nephew, Xie Wanjun, is the captain of the East Ocean University Basketball Team. Yujia will definitely be there tonight, so I decided to give her a surprise," Xie Ming said cheerfully.
He suddenly turned to Hao Ren and asked, "Your dad already told you the name. Why didn't you go to Little Carrot? She called me to ask me who the Little Older Brother is. I thought I would come on Thursday anyway, so I didn't tell her. "
"Ugh … mainly …" Hao Ren stammered. it was hard to come up with an excuse. He couldn't tell her that Little Carrot liked Little Older Brother and didn't dare to tell her.
"Oh, I see. You must feel awkward seeing each other again after not seeing each other for more than ten years, right? "Xie Ming guessed as he looked at Hao Ren's expression.
"Yeah. Your Yujia might already have a boyfriend in the university. It might be weird for Ren to go to her. When we were young, it was especially good. We ate and slept together, but when we grew up, it would be awkward if we met each other. "Yue Yang said.
When Yue Yang said that, Hao Ren suddenly remembered that Little Carrot's family used to come to his house to play. Sometimes, the four of them would play cards all night, and he and Little Carrot would sleep on the same mat …
Although it was something that happened in primary school, thinking about it now, it was still a little embarrassing.
"Our Yujia doesn't have a boyfriend. I can guarantee that. I call her every week, but she's either studying in the classroom or studying in the dormitory. She doesn't look like she has a boyfriend, "Xie Ming said.
"Hehe, you are able to endure it, but I am a little unable to endure it. I really want to see how little radish looks like right now. By the way, your Little Radish has always been pretty since she was young. She should still be pretty now, right? "Hao Zhonghua interrupted while driving.
"What's so pretty about her? She's just average," Xie Ming said modestly. He looked at Hao Ren and said, "Your Mao Mao is the real talented one."
"Ok, ok. Stop complimenting each other." Grandma interrupted them with a smile. "Now that you mention it, I also want to see Little Carrot. The crazy girl who used to follow Ren around the house, I wonder what she looks like now."
"Yeah. You used to love Little Carrot the most. Every time she came to our house, you would give her all the good food. No wonder Ren was always angry when he saw Little Carrot," Yue Yang said with a smile.
They were talking about the past, and Hao Ren couldn't even get a word in.
Seeing Hao Ren's silence, Grandma asked, "Ren, are you nervous about meeting Little Carrot?"
"It's okay." Hao Ren exhaled deeply and felt a little helpless. They would never know that he was Little Carrot's classmate. Seeing their excited faces, Hao Ren decided not to say anything for now. They wanted to create a surprise, and he would let them have it later.
When the car arrived at the stadium, Hao Zhonghua found a place to park the car. He asked Grandma and the other two to get seats in the stadium while he and his old classmate, Xie Ming, walked around the school.
Yue Yang knew that these two old classmates must have a lot to say when they revisited the school. She didn't disturb them and helped Grandma into the stadium.
"Mom, how come Uncle Xie came with us?" Hao Ren asked.
Yue Yang put on a cap and said, "Your dad went to the U.S. for a meeting and happened to meet Uncle Xie. They hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and they were both very excited to see each other again in a foreign country. Then, thinking about the past, your dad dragged Uncle Xie back to China. Uncle Xie wanted to come back to see his daughter, so he came back with them on the plane."
"How come they came by the same car?" Hao Ren asked again.
"They arrived in East Ocean City this afternoon. The airport is not far from our house by the sea, so they stopped by our house for a while. They didn't even have time to rest. Since you have a match tonight, they came with us," Yue Yang explained.
Hao Ren turned around and saw Hao Zhonghua and Xie Ming talking and gesticulating as they walked into the distance of the school. He thought, "Even after more than ten years, their friendship is still there."
"Didn't Little Carrot's mom come?" Hao Ren asked again.
"They have a factory in the U.S., and it's the peak season for business. They are very busy, and Uncle Xie took some time to come back to China. His mom is in the U.S. and has to keep an eye on the business," Yue Yang said.
"Ok." Hao Ren nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"Actually, after so many years, our family is still very close to Little Carrot's family. At that time, we had just graduated from university and were poor. Your father wanted to enter a research institute, and Uncle Xie wanted to start his own business. Because they were good friends in university, after they got married, they helped each other out, and finally got through the most difficult period of their lives. Later, Uncle Xie went abroad, and our families lost contact. After all, communication was not advanced back then. Later, we sold our house in the city and moved to the seaside, and they couldn't find us anymore. "
Yue Yang suddenly said with emotion.
He also vaguely knew that Little Carrot's family was relatively well-off in the past, and his parents insisted on pursuing the path of scientific research, which was also a path of poverty. So, Little Carrot's family had helped them a lot in terms of finances.
"Uncle Xie doesn't read science magazines, right? Otherwise, he would have seen my dad's name and photo, right?" Hao Ren asked abruptly.
"Uncle Xie manages a mechanical manufacturing factory, and he is very busy. I don't think he would pay attention to biotech news. Besides, your dad's name used to be Hao Hua, but he changed it to Hao Zhonghua because of the organization's request.
Then, Yue Yang waved her hand and said, "It's all in the past. It's a good thing that we can keep in touch. I just want to remind you that Little Carrot's family helped us when we were in trouble. So, you must be polite to her when you see her again, no matter if she has a good or bad personality. "
"Got it …" Hao Ren sighed again and walked into the stadium. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, it couldn't be avoided. Now, he just had to wait for Xie Yujia's reaction after she found out the truth.
It was also because she had been too agitated. After sensing the danger, she had drawn the line early on. Now, the situation had become unpredictable.
There was still an hour before the game started, and there weren't many people in the stands. Yue Yang helped Grandma find a seat near the front so that Grandma could have a better view of the game.
"Grandma!" Suddenly, a crisp voice pierced through the gymnasium and resounded loudly.
Grandma turned around and saw Zhao Yanzi walking toward her cheerfully with Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu.
"Zi, oh, I missed you so much …" Grandma clapped her hands as if she was playing with a little animal. Then, she pulled Zhao Yanzi into her arms.
Yue Yang, who was wearing a peaked cap, smiled and asked Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu, "Why are you guys here?"
As if they had a tacit understanding, Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu smiled at Yue Yang and said, "Ren has a basketball game, so we came to watch. Zi made an appointment with us a few days ago. "
On the court, Hao Ren had changed into his basketball uniform and was warming up with his teammates.
"I didn't expect our Ren to play basketball," Grandma looked at Hao Ren and said emotionally.
"Humph! I was the one who bought him new sneakers! "Zhao Yanzi said, trying to take credit.
"Hehe, our Zi is becoming more and more considerate." Grandma looked down at Zhao Yanzi's pretty face and rubbed her head affectionately.
Hao Ren turned around and saw Grandma and Zhao Yanzi's family on the stands. Grandma waved at them.
"Go, Ren!" Zhao Hongyu shouted at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren smiled and went back to basketball practice. Zhao Jiayi, who was standing beside him, suddenly remembered that Hao Ren's family was tutoring Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Yanzi. "Why are they here to watch the game?"
He thought. He didn't notice that Yue Yang, the famous female academician, was standing beside Zhao Yanzi.
Bang!
The door of another locker room in the stadium opened, and the basketball players of Jinghua University walked out in black uniforms.
They were 1.9 meters tall on average, and they looked intimidating.
On the side of East Ocean University, Xie Wanjun was the tallest, and there weren't many people who were taller than 1.9 meters. The tallest people such as Bai Zhixiong couldn't enter the arena due to the fight, so they could only watch from the sidelines and couldn't even warm up.
On the court, East Ocean University's team was obviously shorter.
The leader of Jinghua University's team was a guy who was taller and stronger than Xie Wanjun. He walked over with heavy steps and glanced at the lineup of East Ocean University. Finally, he stared at Hao Ren and Zhao Jiayi and said in a mocking tone, "Haha, Xie Wanjun, you know that East Ocean can't beat us, so you're playing the short game?"
Xie Wanjun pointed at the back with a cold face and said, "Your warm-up court is over there. I don't want to argue with you. Let's see who's better on the court! "
"Let's go!" The guy who looked like the Captain of Jinghua University's Basketball Team waved his hand arrogantly and led his team through the crowd of East Ocean University's Basketball Team toward the other side of the court.
When they passed through the crowd, they purposely bumped into Hao Ren's team members a few times with their strong bodies.
Hao Ren's shoulder was bumped by the Captain of Jinghua University's Basketball Team, but he didn't take it head-on. Instead, he took two steps back on purpose.
"Power Forward," Xie Wanjun patted Hao Ren's shoulder and stared at the Captain of Jinghua University's Basketball Team with the number "1" printed on his back. "Hit him hard in the game!"
