"Are you in a hurry?"
Xiong YaoYue's brain wasn't working well, so I decided to distract her.
"Yue Yue, the fourth period is about to start, why are you in a hurry?"
Xiong YaoYue puffed up her cheeks and pretended to be angry. She patted her flat belly under her sweatshirt.
"I'm hungry! The geography teacher has to talk about traditional Brazilian food in class, it's making my stomach growl! "
"But, even if the cafeteria isn't open, isn't there food in the snack bar?"
Xiong YaoYue frowned and made a "why are you so stupid" expression.
"After hearing about Cuban food, who would be able to eat the dry bread in the snack bar! I was going to climb over the wall to get to the snack street! "
Huh? Is it Brazilian food or Cuban food? Xiong YaoYue, you probably only remember the word 'food'! So you were tying your shoelaces because you were going to climb over the wall? A lot of guys can't climb over a two meter tall wall!
"Oh right!" Xiong YaoYue clapped her hands as if she suddenly remembered something, "If you don't want to be ridden by me, hold your hands together and use them as a ladder. I'll step on your hands to save some energy! Choose — — are you going to be my horse or my stepping stone? "
Is it a ladder or a stepping stone? But it's more or less the same, it's not as serious as confusing Cuba and Brazil. Otherwise, if Xiong YaoYue was the US Secretary of Defense during the Cuban nuclear crisis, Brazil would have been implicated.
Thinking about it, since I offended her in the first place, it's not a loss for her to step on my hands. I'll treat it as helping a hungry brother.
Thus, I crossed my fingers with my palms facing up and acted as if I was willing to be a human ladder. Xiong YaoYue raised her chin in satisfaction. She was proud of herself.
"At least you're knowledgeable!"
Xiong YaoYue impolitely stepped on it with her red sports shoes. The bare thighs that were sticking out of her shorts made me feel a bit hot.
"Hey!" She shouted and used the force from my hands to jump into the air. She easily and happily grabbed onto the top of the two meter tall wall. Then, she sat on top of it and looked at the scenery around her. Only then did she nimbly jump out of the school like a monkey.
I heard Xiong YaoYue run away like a wild dog. I couldn't help but shake my head and smile. I went to the washbasin in the back of the school to wash off the footprints Xiong YaoYue left on my hand. Only then did I manage to sneak into the classroom before the bell rang. I read a history book with Xiao Qin for the first class of the day.
Later, I heard that Xiong YaoYue realized she forgot to bring her wallet after she finished the Mala Fragrant Pot, so she ordered another portion and ate slowly for the entire class. She only called the class leader to redeem her after lunch break.
During lunch break, I saw Niu ShiLi practicing with the three guards from our class. Although he was very clumsy, he was very serious.
The day after I announced the formation of a basketball team, Niu ShiLi found two more substitutes.
One was Pi ZeGuang, who looked like the teacher's son, and the other was Mu ZhongMing, who was silent and always liked to stare at other people's backs.
Although their names were strange and their looks were not good for the audience, the two new members had an unparalleled love for basketball (or maybe it was because they wanted me to drink Fu Yan Jie). They threw themselves into the intense training without any hesitation, which was a timely help.
Pi ZeGuang was good at shooting from the middle, Mu ZhongMing was good at marking people, and Niu ShiLi was like a sponge absorbing knowledge and experience.
If he was playing an online game, he would have leveled up several times.
Although Niu ShiLi's skills were the worst, everyone in the team treated Niu ShiLi as their spiritual leader and followed his lead. This solved the problem of the team's cohesion that I was worried about. Niu ShiLi's initiative helped me solve a lot of problems objectively.
Thus I walked to the side and announced to the team that Niu ShiLi was the vice-captain of class 2-3. If I wasn't on the court, he would be the commander. I asked everyone to unite and achieve a historic breakthrough in the basketball tournament.
The team members agreed. I felt like even if China took back the Diaoyu Islands, they wouldn't be as happy as seeing me drink Fu Yan Jie. On the other hand, Niu ShiLi accepted the task more seriously.
"It's not for you, it's to wash away the humiliation our class suffered last year." Niu ShiLi reminded me not to misunderstand, "Also, basketball is pretty fun."
Good, no matter what it is, as long as you think it's fun, then you're in the door. Although I wanted to say some bitter words about Niu ShiLi's inadequacies, I thought he needed encouragement right now. Also, it wasn't appropriate for someone he hates to give advice, so I held back for now.
I found captain Guo SongTao who was wiping his sweat with a towel under the basketball hoop and started chatting with him.
"What have you been busy with recently?" Brother Tao wrote his dissatisfaction on his face and said half-jokingly, "You haven't been our sparring partner for a while."
I smiled awkwardly, "I'm busy with work. Also, I've always felt that it's not enough for 28 Middle to have me as their sparring partner, so I'm planning on digging out another one from our class. "
Brother Tao didn't quite believe me, but he also seemed interested.
"According to my standards, the only person in your class who can be on the same level as you is Niu ShiLi, but doesn't he not play basketball?"
My awkward smile turned into one of pride, "Hmph, since I tried to reason with him, he already decided to devote himself to basketball from today onwards. He'll be competing in the school basketball tournament in a month."
Brother Tao touched his slightly stubbled chin, and his eyes were full of confidence.
"Who are you trying to fool? Understand them with emotion and move them with reason? Who doesn't know you made a bet with him to drink Fu Yan Jie? That kind of explosive news has already spread throughout 28 Middle. How about it? Do you want me to sponsor you a bottle? "
My face darkened. "There's no need. Someone else has already taken the lead."
Brother Tao thought for a bit and said: "Niu ShiLi's innate qualities are especially good. If he's willing to put in the effort to train, forget about being a sparring partner for the basketball team, it's not impossible for him to join the team in the future … But I also heard that there are a lot of people in the school who want you to be unlucky. They suggest to guard against you and give Niu ShiLi a chance to score so you can make a fool of yourself and drink Fu Yan Jie."
"Does anyone listen to them?" I laughed, "If someone really does that, be careful not to mess it up. Our class 2-3's goal is to be the year champions. If the opponent relaxes their defense against Niu ShiLi, I should train his scoring ability. "
Brother Tao frowned, "Shen ShaoYi and Liu HuaiShui's class 2 isn't easy to deal with. Also, you said you want to train Niu ShiLi's scoring ability. Aren't you afraid of shooting yourself in the foot and ending up drinking Fu Yan Jie?"
I felt a chill from the top of my head to the soles of my feet when I thought of Fu Yan Jie's white packaging and the couple singing "Whether it's now, or in the distant future …".
"I'd be lying if I said I'm not afraid. I hope I don't have to drink Fu Yan Jie and class 3 can still win. But if I don't improve Niu ShiLi's skills, it's impossible for class 3 to win the championship, so I have no other choice."
"Xiao Ye, you're talking a lot today." Brother Tao laughed indecently, "I heard you don't have a good relationship with Niu ShiLi and he might not even listen to your suggestions. Did you come all the way here to ask me to help you train him?"
I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment: "Haha, you saw through me. Um, you don't have to take time out, just give him a few pointers when you see Niu ShiLi practicing nearby. "
I said as I made a gesture with my thumb and index finger.
"That won't do." Brother Tao shook his head exaggeratedly, "How can a few pointers be enough for a seeded player with such great potential? I'll ask him if he's willing to go home later after school. If he agrees, I'll train him for one to two hours … This is a player who might be as good as you. Do you think I'll let go of such an opportunity? "
"That's good." I smiled, "That way, even if I'm busy and can't be a sparring partner for the school team, I can at least get a substitute, right?"
Brother Tao suddenly said seriously: "Xiao Ye, but let me say this first. If Niu ShiLi wins a bet because of my training, don't blame me when you drink Fu Yan Jie. I won't help you drink half a bottle because of brotherhood. "
I grinned and said yes again and again. Because I had accomplished something, I ran back to the classroom of 2-3 with happy steps.
I was a bit tired, so I took a nap on my desk and actually had a dream.
In my dream, I received a certificate for class 2-3 as the year's champion and sat at the class leader's dining table. The aroma of potato beef stew, pineapple sweet and sour pork, and Dongpo pork was enough to make people drool.
However, to my right, where people usually kept their beer or drinks, was an open bottle of Fu Yan Jie.
