Carter Xing was tall and came in aggressively. He pushed Ethan Ning and swiped the access card before leaving. The security guard just watched and didn't dare to stop him. Their job was to watch the students swipe the cards to go in. One card per person, and as long as they had the card, they were done.

Ethan Ning stared at the two words "" for a long time, and his eyes felt a little sore.

He put his school card in his trouser pocket, but was afraid it would fall out. He then put it in his coat pocket, but that still made it easy to fall out, so he simply took out his school bag and stuffed it inside his outer layer.

He probably put his own card in the book when he used it as a ruler. He will find some time to find Carter Xing to return the card later, otherwise he will not be able to go out after school.

Ethan Ning arrived late, and his classmates had basically started studying. He opened his homework book, which was covered with colorful geographical maps and very detailed annotations. The originally sloppy handwriting had become neat and small, like printed text.

He always subconsciously thought that these notebooks were to be left for Carter Xing to use, so every word was written clearly, and he would even add a few comments, draw an expression, and then cross it out with a pen.

At the same time, Carter Xing was being pushed onto the school wall by a group of boys. He bit the sleeve of his school uniform, jumped up, supported himself with both hands, climbed onto a platform, stepped firmly on the bricks, and carefully avoided the gravel and debris on the wall.

He hung on the edge of the wall, flipped down, stepped on the desk that his friend had moved over, and landed on the ground.

Boys of his age would accept breaking their legs for love.

Carter Xing had done things like climbing over walls many times, but he was always careful every time, so he managed to escape the "law" on campus. He was caught once or twice, and he remembered them clearly, and the reason was basically for his brother.

In the classroom, Ethan Ning was still flipping through a notebook.

Ethan Ning always remembered that when Carter Xing was in the first year of high school and had to choose between arts and science, he ran up to his house and knocked on his door with great seriousness, saying that he had chosen arts.

But in his memory, Carter Xing won a prize in a small science and technology competition when he was in junior high school, and was very good at mathematics, but he was terrible at politics, history and geography. Carter Xing was a rebellious punk kid at that time, and he said with confidence that he wanted to skip a grade and graduate early.

Ethan Ning lowered his eyes and said that you can skip a grade if you choose science.

Carter Xing was silent for a long time and said, Brother, give me a chance.

The subtle budding of feelings was in its infancy, and Ethan Ning couldn't stop it, but he didn't expect the situation to get out of control from then on. As time passed, these feelings turned into vines, entangled him as well.

Ethan Ning remained silent. He could vaguely sense what Carter Xing meant by "give me a chance", but he couldn't give a direct answer and could only respond with silence.

He looked at Carter Xing, seeing how tall he had grown, and said that he should get a haircut in the new school year. Then he closed the door and went in.

In the end, Carter Xing did not cut off his love ties with a sword, but just shaved it off. It was a hairstyle that was very popular among little boys at that time. He left a little more in the middle and shaved the sides short. Some boys even shaved a line or a letter on the top.

Carter Xing made a letter, which was placed on top of the letter, with an "N" on the left and an "X" on the right.

At that time, Grace Ren didn't quite understand the importance of "Ethan Ning" in Carter Xing's heart, so she asked him, "Boss, what do you mean by this non-mainstream thing?"

Carter Xing was feeling depressed as if he had just broken up with his lover, and he also felt that he was not mainstream, but he still replied arrogantly: "Awesome."

In the past, Carter Xing was young and didn’t know anything. He was just beginning to fall in love and was bold enough to do anything. But when facing Ethan Ning, who was three years older than him, he was still scared and couldn’t act cool.

Carter Xing is now a sophomore in high school. He is tall and strong, and all his brothers are obedient to him. In another year, he will become a real man. When facing Ethan Ning, he becomes extremely aggressive.

It was lunchtime and self-study time. Ethan Ning felt hot, but the fan in the classroom was not blowing towards him, so he gritted his teeth and endured it. He really wanted to drink water, but all the bottled water in the class's water dispenser was gone, so he had to go get some water after school in the afternoon.

There are more girls than boys in the liberal arts class, and Ethan Ning is a tall boy, the school team's scoring leader, and has great athletic ability, so naturally he became the one who often fetched water.

By the time school was over in the afternoon, the water supply was tight and classes all over the school were scrambling to line up early to get bottled water.

Today, Ethan Ning went to fetch water with a boy in the class. When they reached the stairs, they saw a bucket of water at the corner with a note on it: Class 3-4 of Senior High School.

Ethan Ning knew who moved here as soon as he saw the handwriting.

If Carter Xing had this kind of effort in studying, he would probably be among the top three in his grade.

Ethan Ning brought the water back to the classroom, filled it up, took a cup and drank it in one gulp, then wrote some questions for a while. He looked at the time and looked out the window at the school basketball court.

The seat for senior high school students is fixed and does not need to be rotated every week. His seat is right next to the window and he can see the basketball court at any time.

The summer breeze was blowing, the trees were green, the playground was a red plastic surface, every basketball court was full of people, and the school team's training ground was even more crowded with people playing and watching the game, but they were too far away, and Ethan Ning couldn't see clearly which one was Carter Xing.

When I was a student, students who had to play ball in the afternoon generally didn't eat dinner. As soon as school was over at 5:30, they would rush to the court and play to the death. Some students who couldn't get a court in the afternoon would play to the death at noon, and then go hungry for the whole afternoon. Those who "survived" were also starving to death.

There was a girl in his liberal arts class who had problems with her books, but Ethan Ning was in a hurry to go to the stadium to return Carter Xing's school card. If he was any later, he would miss his evening self-study.

Ethan Ning is usually aloof and doesn't interact much with people in his class, but he is good-looking and very polite to others. He helps carry water and clean the class, and he still attracts the attention of many girls.

When I was in school, many girls liked this cool guy who didn’t talk much and just stood there in one word: handsome.

Ethan Ning is a human-shaped air conditioner with automatic cooling in the summer and an ice prince in the cold wind in the winter. Only Carter Xing can see his occasional breakdowns and little emotions.

Ethan Ning stood up and put his school card in his pocket. He put on a thin autumn school uniform and whispered to the girl, "Excuse me, I have to go downstairs."

Most girls of this age are cute and green. She blushed a little and hesitantly said, "Are you going to play ball? Can you come with me?"

Ethan Ning didn't say anything. He pulled up the zipper by the corner of his clothes. His school uniform was very neat. He nodded and said, "I'm going to find my brother."

She smiled and said, "Is it the one from the second year of high school? No problem, I want to go watch the game too, how about joining us?"

Ethan Ning thought it was nothing, so he nodded in agreement. A girl followed him downstairs.

Carter Xing was just about to shoot a three-pointer when a group of teammates shouted "Carter Xing, stand up!"

The person cooperating with him changed from Ethan Ning to Hunter Ying. Putting aside the so-called "personal grudge", the two of them cooperated quite well. However, compared with Ethan Ning, Hunter Ying's compatibility with Carter Xing was still far behind.

As a point guard, Ethan Ning is good at cooperation and assists, while Hunter Ying is more offensive and can easily steal the limelight from the small forward, and Carter Xing happens to be in this position.

The ball went through the net and the school team scored another point.

The team that came to play basketball in the school today is from a high school team in the next district. They brought people here specially and the school approved it. It's a small competition. They happen to be in their second year of high school, and people from the city's sports department are also here to select athletes.

It is inevitable for children from the same district to encounter each other. There are several opponents that Carter Xing encountered when he was playing street basketball in the district at junior high school. Their moves were more wild than the other, and their playing styles were as ferocious as his.

Before Ethan Ning quit the school team, he was the vice-captain. Many sophomores still knew him. During the halftime break, they saw Ethan Ning coming from afar and shouted, "Brother Xi!"

Carter Xing on the field turned around and looked at Ethan Ning.

There was another girl next to him, standing quite close to Ethan Ning. She looked very petite and a perfect match for him.

Carter Xing was furious, but he was still on the court. His emotions affected the team's survival and he couldn't be vague. Besides, the players on the court were playing wildly and he couldn't stand it.

Hunter Ying was dribbling the ball, and it seemed as if the basketball was stuck in his palm and would not fall off no matter how he shook it. The ball made the opponent dizzy and he was searching for a passing target outside the offensive area.

His eyes caught sight of Carter Xing quietly rushing to the right side of the court. Hunter Ying decisively took the ball and raised his arm, making a fake move to the left, and the opponent who was defending him blocked it to the left!

He quickly passed the ball from the right to Carter Xing who was rushing over to receive the ball. After receiving the ball, Carter Xing turned around and put his toes on the three-point shooting line.

Hunter Ying shouted from the side: "Take a step back!"

Upon hearing this, Carter Xing dribbled the ball with one hand, stepped back, and without his toes touching the line, he jumped up, leaned his body back slightly, tightened his waist muscles, and shot directly with complete wrist strength!

At this time, the opponent's defender jumped with Carter Xing, but he was not as high as him and instead touched Carter Xing's hand.

A foul was committed, resulting in another point being given away.

The ball that Carter Xing shot with a fadeaway jump shot formed a perfect parabola in the air and went into the net, scoring easily.

No matter how much Hunter Ying disliked Carter Xing, at this moment, big things had turned into small things and small things had turned into strong comradeship. Even though Carter Xing was younger than him, his explosive style of play made him admit defeat. He clenched his fists and roared: "Three plus one! Damn it! Carter Xing!"

The other members of the school team cheered and shouted: "Awesome!!!"

A few buddies were shouting like football fans, with slogans like "Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng! You can do it! You are the best! Act with vigor and determination! Never stop!"

Carter Xing felt his blood boiling and was a little touched, but he had already gone a thousand miles away, so how could he still play this game?

Ethan Ning listened and laughed secretly, with a tense face and said nothing. He felt that he was really old, and the junior students were more energetic.

When Carter Xing first joined the school team, a bunch of guys were shouting "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", but the "begin" was easily heard as "die". Carter Xing cursed in a hoarse voice, "How can we fight if we're going to die under your single step?"

Hunter Ying came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Carter Xing, great! You are really good!"

Carter Xing dodged his hand, feeling a little nervous about being in the spotlight in front of Ethan Ning: "Just make do with it."

A man cannot say no. As long as his brother is on the field, the game must go his way.

After Hunter Ying stole the ball from the opponent's offensive player, he made a quick stop and jump shot, scoring two points, gradually narrowing the score back a little, but at this moment, they were still six points away from overtaking, and there were only eight minutes left in the game.

The coach of the opposing school asked the referee for a timeout, probably planning a tactic to delay the game.

Both groups gathered together to plan tactics and stood on the sidelines. There was only forty seconds of time left for the timeout. The coach was also very anxious and had to shout at everyone. It was a bunch of noisy kids, chattering away, and it was impossible to scare them at all.

There were substitutes practicing shooting on the field, and a player threw a basketball onto the backboard, causing the basketball stand to shake...

The person who jumped up might have wanted to do an alley-oop, but he didn't hold it firmly and it hit Ethan Ning directly on the head!

The impact of the basketball hit him on the head. Ethan Ning couldn't even stand firmly, stumbled, and fell on Carter Xing.

The two of them suddenly hugged each other, with their jerseys touching their school uniforms. Carter Xing lowered his head, and his wheat-colored arms suddenly wrapped around Ethan Ning, who was not standing steadily, and hugged him tightly in his arms.

Ethan Ning suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, his eyes went black due to the shock, his chin rested on Carter Xing's shoulder, and he was breathing heavily. The restlessness and heat from the young man almost burned him.

Before he could hold on tightly, the field suddenly became chaotic and the onlookers screamed. They saw Carter Xing with a gloomy face being pulled by a group of people. His eyes were red and he was struggling to get out!

Most of the fights between boys of this age are either over their loved ones or conflicts in sports competitions. This case just happens to be a bit of both.

A few teammates on the other team who were unaware of the situation also hurriedly huddled together to pull the person who smashed the ball!

The man yelled at the top of his voice: "Carter Xing! I was going to hit you, but I hit you crookedly, so what!"

The school team here shouted back, not wanting to be outdone: "Grandson!"

Carter Xing recognized him. They had played against each other when they were playing street ball in junior high school. This guy was not a good guy at all. He loved to play dirty on the court. He even tripped others up when he was not as skilled as them!

Hunter Ying was raised by his brother and had an even worse temper. He didn't try to pull Carter Xing back and was still holding the ball. Just as he was about to curse, he saw the coach and the referee coming to separate them. Carter Xing snatched the basketball from his hand and threw it at the place where the person was!

The school team coach couldn't stop them and yelled, "Stop!"

The referee also blew the whistle, and the sharp sound made everyone present exclaim in surprise. The referee simply made a gesture and both sides were sent off!

He got a technical foul right away, and Carter Xing and the guy who hit Ethan Ning both fouled out and graduated directly.

The field suddenly became quiet, everyone stared at each other, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that Ethan Ning felt suffocated.

The score of their school team depends on how awesome Carter Xing is in the last quarter. If they were to be eliminated immediately, they would not be able to play. Do they still have the chance to play if they only rely on a well-behaved Hunter Ying?

Carter Xing wiped his face, the anger in his eyes could kill all the teammates one by one. He gritted his teeth, glanced at Ethan Ning, arranged the other three teammates, calmed down a little, and said to Yu Chen: "In the last quarter, you will focus on fast breaks and position yourself under the basket..."

Before he could finish his words, Ethan Ning, who was standing next to him, bit his collar, raised his arm, pulled the zipper down a little, lifted the hem of his clothes, tilted his head back, and took off his school uniform jacket, revealing a pure white short-sleeved shirt underneath.

There was still some sweat on Ethan Ning's forehead, probably from the cold sweat after being hit.

He shook his head, stretched out his hand to move Carter Xing aside, and said in a cold voice: "Stand aside."

Seeing this, Hunter Ying understood what he meant. He sighed inwardly and threw the basketball passed by his teammate directly to Ethan Ning, who caught it steadily and held the ball in his arms.

He stood there, with Carter Xing behind him and five opponents from outside the school in front of him.

Ethan Ning was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, a pair of sneakers, and rolled up the corners of his school pants. His skin was so white that it was dazzling in the sun. His narrow eyelids made his eyes look deep and seductive. The sweat on his neck made the curve bright...

He took a step forward, turned his head to the coach and said, "I'll take over for Carter Xing."

There were several old players in the school team who used to play basketball with Ethan Ning. They watched this scene and waved their towels wildly with excitement!

"Fcuk, Ethan Ning is on top!"
