Alex Xu finished his homework before the third class was over. He put the notebook where he had copied down the daily questions together with the test paper and exercise book. He looked back and saw that Leo Lu was not at his seat. He threw the homework on Leo Lu's desk and went to the back playground with Nathan Wang for physical education class.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was setting and everyone cast a long, thin shadow on the plastic track. At first glance at Nathan Wang's shadow, it looked like he had lost fifty pounds.
When Alex Xu walked to the playground, he met Kedi leaning against the fence that separated the teaching building from the back playground. Kedi had changed into a sportswear with his name printed on it. He was sweating all over and holding a half-drunk bottle of mineral water in his hand, tossing it back and forth, making a loud sound.
Sports students have to participate in training in the fourth class every afternoon. Every drop of sweat shed on the playground now is to shed fewer tears of regret in next year’s physical examination.
Alex Xu walked over and greeted: "Cody."
Ke Di turned around and said, "Class monitor, are you here for physical education class?"
Big beads of sweat on his forehead trickled down his cheeks, and he grinned, revealing a row of big white teeth.
Alex Xu asked: "Who will be in charge of lining up for the physical education class later?"
Ke Di is a sports student and also the sports committee member of the class. When he goes to participate in the training, the position of sports committee member becomes vacant. As the class monitor, Alex Xu naturally needs to understand the situation in advance and make relevant preparations.
Ke Di turned around and faced Alex Xu. He raised his arms and hung them on the fence. He propped his chin with a mineral water bottle and said with a smile, "I have already told Fu Erdai that he will be in charge of leading the team. It won't affect the class."
Alex Xu nodded: "Oh, that's good, good luck in training~"
Alex Xu and Ke Di were chatting idly when they happened to see Jiang Jize, a man and a woman, walking towards them.
Jiang Jize was holding two grilled sausages in his hand, taking a small bite while breathing out the hot air. When he looked up and saw Ke Di, he asked, "Where's Leo Lu?"
Ke Di waved at Jiang Jize and grinned, "Brother Che will definitely not come down to gather until the class bell rings. It's still early now."
Jiang Jize laughed, probably thinking that the question he asked was too stupid. He casually stuffed another sausage to Kedi, then walked away with Alex Xu and the other two classmates.
Alex Xu looked back and recognized the girl next to Jiang Jize as the rumored girlfriend with waist-length curly hair on the overpass. Alex Xu couldn't help but ask Kedi: "Kedi, this person is Jiang Jize, right? Is the girl next to him his girlfriend?"
"Which one?"
Cody, holding a grilled sausage in his mouth, glanced back casually and caught a glimpse of Jiang Jize and the others turning the corner and walking into the stairwell.
Cody's tongue was spicier than the thick layer of cumin on the sausage, and he hissed, "That shouldn't be the case. I haven't heard him say that."
After getting this answer, Alex Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: If Jiang Jize was not single, then the emotional dispute between him and Dylan Xiao would be even more complicated.
As soon as Alex Xu's mind was activated, he was startled by a familiar voice.
"Squad leader, why do I always hear you caring about Jiang Jize every time I come here?"
Alex Xu turned his head reluctantly and saw Leo Lu walking towards him. He was leaning against the iron railing. He was tall, had long legs, and looked handsome, but there was a cold smile on his face.
Alex Xu: ...
I don’t Fcuking know why you always appear suddenly!
Fu Dai followed Leo Lu and appeared. Standing on the steps, he was half a head taller than Ke Di. He snatched the grilled sausage from Ke Di's hand, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite. He turned around and asked casually, "Does the squad leader have a girlfriend?"
Alex Xu: "No..."
Ke Di unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip of water, then asked with a smile: "The squad leader doesn't even have a girlfriend, is there no one you like?"
Alex Xu smiled perfunctorily and shook his head, saying, "It depends on fate. I won't force it. The college entrance examination is more important."
Alex Xu really didn't have much obsession with dating before. To put it another way, he just hadn't met the right person. But now, when he thought about his left hand tied to his little brother and his anus tied to Leo Lu, Alex Xu felt so sad that he couldn't say anything about his pain.
However, as soon as Alex Xu finished speaking, he heard Leo Lu sneer.
Leo Lu stared at Alex Xu with bright eyes, crossed his arms, raised the corners of his lips, and repeated Alex Xu's words just now in a playful tone: "I won't force you, okay?"
The magnetic voice contained an intriguing meaning, and only Alex Xu understood it. If you don't force it, then why do you deliberately throw yourself into my arms every day? If you don't force it, you can't help but S3xually harass me when I sleep on the table during evening self-study? If you don't force it, you've been thinking about my friend since you met him once?
Alex Xu: ...
This person is so annoying!
Seeing Alex Xu pretending to be dumb and not answering, Leo Lu smiled faintly and said to Ke Di nonchalantly: "It's normal for the squad leader to not have a girlfriend. After all, his vision should be different from ours."
When Alex Xu heard this, he immediately straightened his body alertly, staring at Leo Lu closely, ready to pounce on him and cover his mouth at any time to prevent him from saying something like "gay or not" that would slander his innocence.
Curdy asked curiously, "Why? Does it mean that the monitor's standards are ridiculously high?"
Leo Lu was amused when he saw Alex Xu's nervous look. His deep eyes were filled with smiles. He crossed his arms and replied happily, "To some extent, the monitor's vision is indeed very high. Probably, he is one in a million, right?"
Leo Lu curled the corners of his lips and raised his eyebrows at Alex Xu.
Alex Xu: ...
Could you please have some shame?
Alex Xu and Leo Lu had nothing to talk about. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the bell for class to start.
Cody was also preparing to return to the track and field for training, and the four of them went in two separate paths.
Alex Xu walked in front, and Leo Lu followed behind him at a leisurely pace. Alex Xu was just trying to get rid of Leo Lu when he heard Leo Lu casually ask him from behind: "Squad leader, who do you think is more handsome, me or Jiang Jize?"
...
Alex Xu scolded without even turning his head: "Psycho."
Leo Lu was not annoyed by being scolded, and said in a deep voice with a smile: "I am handsome, right?"
...
Alex Xu couldn't stand it any longer and said, "I choose Jiang Jize!"
The footsteps following behind him suddenly stopped.
Alex Xu couldn't help but look back, and saw Leo Lu standing there, his thin lips slightly curved, but there was no smile in his eyes, and even his voice was cold: "Then there's no hope for you."
Jiang Jize likes petite girls, saying that delicate and fragile girls can arouse his desire to protect them. Not only is Alex Xu not the right gender, but her height of 1.8 meters will also make him be rejected at first sight.
...
Alex Xu gave up the possibility of explanation and walked away quickly to prevent Leo Lu from getting nervous again.
In the first physical education class of the senior year, the physical education teacher gave an opening speech step by step, and then listed a series of arrangements for this semester that were closely related to the college entrance examination candidates.
The sports committee member was not there, so the physical education teacher led the class to do warm-up exercises before class. The four columns gathered into one team and jogged around the playground twice. In total, the class lasted less than 20 minutes.
The free time in physical education class is a reward time for students to take a break from their busy schedule. Parents and teachers usually want to urge their children 24 hours a day to make use of the fragmented time to study hard, but the physical education teachers and class teachers will advise them to put down their books temporarily, study hard when they should study, and play to their heart's content when they should play.
Alex Xu and Nathan Wang went to the equipment room to get a pair of badminton rackets, and found a sheltered space in front of the basketball court. Emily Tang, a reserve player, sat on the three-tiered platform next to them, acting as a scorekeeper and cheerleader, yelling at Nathan Wang: "Come on, Zhongzhong! Get Xingxing off the court!"
Claire Xiong, wearing headphones, sat quietly beside her, memorizing words.
Nathan Wang frowned, not daring to thank Emily Tang for his encouragement. Instead, he smiled cautiously at Alex Xu and said flatteringly, "Wake up, let's yawn slowly. You have to help me burn fat and lose weight."
Alex Xu stood still, waved his racket at Nathan Wang, and said, "Serve, serve."
As Emily Tang and his childhood sweetheart, he naturally knew Alex Xu's ability. In the alley where Alex Xu was barefoot and chased by Uncle Xu with a feather duster for a hundred meters, Alex Xu only managed to save a little face by playing badminton and being invincible all over the alley.
Although Nathan Wang did not know about Alex Xu's brilliant achievements in childhood, he knew that in his second year of high school, Alex Xu was the runner-up in the school badminton competition, and the senior who won the championship that year had already graduated.
Alex Xu's playing style is fierce. He stood still and shot the ball cleanly and neatly. He defeated Nathan Wang completely with the first five balls.
After six wins out of ten, Nathan Wang was hung on the last ball, and Alex Xu slowly became his sparring partner. His tricky return shots became gentle and pleasant, no longer the sharp and fierce ones. The speed of the high lob was very slow, and Nathan Wang ran back and forth on the court to catch the ball, like a donkey with a red apple hanging on it. However, he did not feel that Alex Xu was playing a trick on him. Instead, he was overjoyed every time he received a ball, and felt that his skills had improved again.
This round dragged on for a long time as the two of them played slowly and respectfully. Emily Tang stamped his feet and could not help but complain, "Wake up! Hurry up and knock Zhong Zhong off the court! I've been sitting here swatting mosquitoes for a long time."
Claire Xiong, who was sitting next to her, took off one of her headphones and lowered her eyes to see Emily Tang sitting with her legs apart, in an indecent posture. She raised her hand and gently patted Emily Tang, a faint smile appeared on her face, and said in a cold voice: "Sit still."
Emily Tang let out an "ah", smiled and closed her legs, maintaining the same ladylike sitting posture as Claire Xiong.
On the basketball court.
Fu Dai had just received the ball from his teammate when he glanced at the stands. He happened to see Claire Xiong's smiling face. He was stunned for a moment until his teammate shouted, "Pass the ball!"
Fu Dai came back to his senses and his body reacted quickly. However, his quick reaction did not allow his brain to make a reasonable judgment, and the basketball slipped out of his hand and hit the front diagonally rapidly - it attacked Alex Xu with a force as powerful as thunder and an unstoppable force.
Claire Xiong's faint smile was like a butterfly effect.
Emily Tang turned around and saw the flying basketball. His face changed and he shouted, "Wake up and be careful!"
Hearing the sound, Alex Xu looked towards Emily Tang in surprise. Emily Tang looked at the huge and hard basketball in horror, following the predetermined trajectory and hitting Alex Xu's back of the head.
Nathan Wang shouted: "Watch out behind you!"
After being reminded by Emily Tang and Nathan Wang, Alex Xu turned around and saw a dark shadow flashing before his eyes. He was surprised and wanted to dodge sideways, but his foot slipped and he staggered, falling to the ground with the person behind him.
Alex Xu heard a muffled groan from the person he used as a cushion. Alex Xu quickly apologized, but heard that person still had the mood to joke: "Squad leader, you really never forget to take advantage of me anytime, anywhere."
Familiar voice, familiar scene. Alex Xu jumped up and turned around to see Leo Lu lying on the ground.
After Leo Lu intercepted the ball in time, he fell forward due to inertia, but he had subconsciously avoided Alex Xu. Unexpectedly, Alex Xu couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground with him. Alex Xu's fall made no sense, but Leo Lu thought about it and felt that it seemed to make a little sense.
When his teammates received the basketball that Leo Lu saved on the court, Fu Dai shouted to Leo Lu: "Ache, are you okay?"
Leo Lu waved his hand, signaling him not to run over, and replied: "It's okay."
Leo Lu propped up his upper body and rubbed his right wrist. His hissing sound betrayed his pain, but he just frowned slightly, sat up and patted the small gravel on his palm. With a teasing smile on his face, he said to Alex Xu: "Squad leader, didn't you say Jiang Jize is more handsome than me? Then why don't you throw yourself into his arms? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
...
Alex Xu swallowed back his words of concern for Leo Lu, thinking that this guy was a psycho!
Alex Xu didn't know that he was almost hit on the head by a basketball just now. He thought that Emily Tang and the others shouted at him to be careful because Leo Lu suddenly appeared behind him. He attributed it to Hong Xian's prank and said to Leo Lu helplessly: "Please stay away from yourself in the future. I don't want to have too much contact with you, okay."
Alex Xu was so tired that he didn't want to explain anymore. If he wanted to expect Hong Xian to be more restrained, it would be more effective to let Leo Lu avoid it himself.
Besides, didn't Leo Lu say last time, "Luckily I hid quickly"? If you can hide quickly, then keep hiding! Hide quickly!
ballballu!
Leo Lu laughed when he heard this: "This is the first time I've seen a scammer make such a request to the victim. Squad leader, you can't help yourself and you think you're right, right? Now you're giving me a direct notice - 'I have to hit you, whether you want to hide or not'? How can you be so capable?"
...
Alex Xu's face turned pale and he was speechless.
Although it was not his original intention, this is indeed the reality!
What can he do? He is also desperate!
Leo Lu snorted and laughed, clenched his right hand into a fist, raised it in the air, put his fist on Alex Xu's forehead and pushed it gently, wiped a drop of sweat on his forehead with the tip of his thumb, and said: "If I had dodged just now, I think you would have been hit into a fool."
...
Alex Xu leaned back in disgust, frowning and saying, "What the hell is this?"
Leo Lu stood up, brushed off the dust on his back, and returned to the court.
After Leo Lu left, Nathan Wang and Emily Tang dared to approach. Emily Tang squatted beside Alex Xu and whispered, "Xingxing, it was Leo Lu who blocked the basketball for you just now. How can you say that you don't want to have excessive contact with him?"
Nathan Wang nodded repeatedly.
Emily Tang and the others arrived neither too early nor too late. They did not hear Leo Lu's teasing of Alex Xu. They only heard Alex Xu telling them to keep a distance.
Only then did Alex Xu learn from them what had happened. He stammered in response, knowing that what he had done was not fair, but he just couldn't bring himself to lose face.
Should he go and say thank you to Leo Lu?
Forget it. Forget it.
Alex Xu resisted and prayed in his heart.
