Licheng Twilight

Chapter 22

Lin Xichen has been a little annoyed recently because the school held an inter-school basketball game.He is the sports committee member of class seven, so he is naturally in charge of the football game.Originally, there were only men's basketball teams in the past, but this year the school leaders suddenly said that women's basketball teams should be added on a whim, and every class must participate.

"Originally, there were not many girls who played basketball. Although they only played half a game, it still consumes a lot of energy for girls. Now, where can I find someone?" Lin Xichen poked at the rice ball during lunch time, listless.

"Have you got a goal?" Ye Tianche asked, taking a piece of fish from his bowl.

Lin Xichen protected the bowl and rolled his eyes, "Yes, there are a few in the class who have played basketball, but the girls are not very willing to go."

"Why?" Mu Mu carefully picked out the peppers, and only chose a piece of bland ribs and put them in Ye Tianche's bowl.

Lin Xichen was distressed, "Because they feel like they are playing a monkey game, which is embarrassing, so they don't want to play."

Indeed, Mu Mu nodded. The girls are basically novices, and they can't really tell if they have any organization and strategy in fighting. Fouls, grabbing the ball, holding the ball and running are commonplace. It seems that it is not so much a game as a game. Home.But for this point, she is helpless. Although she has good physical strength, playing basketball is still a technical job after all.If it's a disservice, it's always not good.

After all, Lin Xichen still had some ideas. After dawdling for a few days and adding some threats and lures, he managed to find all the people.

A few days later, after school one day, Mu Mu finished finishing her homework, but when she was about to go home, she was stopped by Lin Xichen who rushed over.He was wearing short-sleeved shorts, but the sweat was still dripping down. It seemed that he had gone to the classroom to find himself. He bent over and supported his knees, panting heavily, "It's a good thing you haven't gone back yet."

Mu Mu was surprised, "Didn't you start training today? Why did you come to find me?"

Lin Xichen looked up at her and waved her hands, and said, "Ah Mu, you must help me now." Before she could answer, she dragged him to the basketball court.

The training place is in the back hill of the school. Because of the competition, the venue is very tight. This place was only occupied by Lin Xichen early in the morning.

There are two courts, one side is used for boys' training, and the other side is used as a training ground for girls.In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient for boys to guide girls at any time, and on the other hand, everyone can take care of each other. After all, training is not an easy task.

Lin Xichen blew his whistle and summoned the three girls who were pitching. He took a step back and pushed Mu Mu who was standing behind him forward, "This is your new teammate Mu Mu, replacing Xie Ning who quit temporarily, everyone They are all in the same class, so there is no need to say more.”

As soon as this remark came out, the girls became depressed. Xie Ning's basketball was considered to be pretty good among them. If she quit, it would be a big blow to the strength of Class Seven.

Lin Xichen clapped his hands, focused the attention of several people, and said in a tone that could not be refuted, "Okay, spread out and practice."

It was only then that Mu Mu realized that she was sold out by Lin Xichen for no apparent reason, "Ah Chen, I've never touched basketball before." So, are you sure you want me to play?

Lin Xichen patted her on the shoulder, let the dead horse be a living horse doctor, no matter what is better than nothing, he comforted, "Don't worry, only three people are needed to play halftime, you are just a substitute, and, at this point, I have made up my mind to die."

Mu Mu broke out in a cold sweat, took off her coat, and followed Lin Xichen onto the court.

During the two hours of training, the four girls were lying on the ground too tired to get up, and the boy opposite was lying on the ground laughing and unable to get up.

Although it was Mu Mu's first contact with him, he was stronger because of his strong physical strength, and with Lin Xichen at the side to guide him. After two hours, although there was still a gap compared to the regular team members, it was still considered a considerable improvement.

Although the boys on the team are all in the same class, they haven't had much contact with the same class for a year, so it's somewhat awkward for everyone to sit together.A chubby boy nicknamed Big Bear was very enthusiastic. He brought half a box of water for everyone to drink, "The captain invited you." He smiled, opened a bottle of water and touched Lin Xichen's hand.

Lin Xichen smiled, showing a row of white teeth, and poked Big Bear's heart with one hand, "Damn it, yes, I invite you."

Big Xiong was sitting next to Mu Mu, and while drinking water, he naturally turned his head away and said to Mu Mu, "Mu Mu, I just watched you play, and found that there is something wrong with your dribbling movement."

Mu Mu nodded sharply when she heard it, "Well, I always feel weird too, I always feel that I can't turn around."

"Well, let me teach you a method." He put down the water, stood up and showed her with both hands free, "Next time, you should pay attention to bend your knees, relax your waist, and open your hands to catch the ball again." Open up."

Listening to what he said, Mu Mu hurriedly stood up to try, "Really! It doesn't feel so strenuous now."

When Big Bear heard this, he scratched his head and laughed, his small eyes narrowed into a slit, in stark contrast to the baby's chubby face, making him look extraordinarily cute.

With the two of them starting, the other boys were no longer so restrained, and they all took the initiative to teach the girls. After a day or two like this, the atmosphere of the team gradually began to improve.

After the end, it was completely dark. On the way home, while walking, Mu Mu suddenly asked, "Ah Chen, does Xie Ning like you?"

Lin Xichen paused, and subconsciously touched his face, "Uh, that, is it obvious?"

Mu Mu nodded solemnly, "Then she quit because of you?"

Lin Xichen raised his hands to the back of his head, and said as he walked, "Well, she told me, but I didn't mean that to her, and then she said she would quit the next day. Girls are stingy." He nodded disapprovingly. concluded.

Mu Mu trotted after him, "Do you have someone you like?"

The boy in front turned his head, couldn't hide his panic, and blurted out, "How do you know?"

"Guess." Mu Mu wanted to make fun of him, but he had a serious expression on his face, so he could only sigh, "Do you still remember the first time we went to eat with Sister Tianqing? I'm late for something, so let the three of us order first. You ordered an extra dish of fish-flavored pork shreds that day, but you still ordered an extra dish of shredded pork with fish flavor. I noticed that you didn't touch that dish at all. Sister Tianqing eats the most dishes."

"Ah Mu, you really have terrifying powers of observation." Lin Xichen looked at her and said this after a long silence.

Mu Mu smiled and bent her slender willow eyebrows, and said, both comforting and teasing, "Child, it's hard to be in love secretly."

Lin Xichen was tearing up, "Damn it, aren't you clearly bullying people?"

Compared with the first year of high school, the curriculum of the second year of high school is still more difficult. The team's training takes up a lot of time every day. After thinking about it, Mu Mu decided to get up an hour earlier every day and go to bed an hour later at night as compensation.

The training intensity of the team is not small, and it comes suddenly.This night was also the same, doing homework with Ye Tianche and fell asleep lying on the table while writing.

The two of them doing homework together was proposed by Mu Mu at the beginning of this semester. First, she could supervise Ye Tianche and prevent him from running around to play; second, Ye Tianche could get answers to any questions he had in a timely manner.Having said that, Grandpa Ye really readily agreed.Mu Mu knew that although Ye Tianche was reluctant, he would never disobey the old man's wishes, so he began to discipline him boldly and reassuringly.

Ye Tianche sat in front of the desk, put down her pen, and watched the hour hand ticking forward. Usually, she would only lie down for 10 minutes, and the precision was like an alarm clock. When the time came, she rubbed the hand with sleepy eyes. She pinched her face with her eyes and one hand to wake herself up, but she didn't wake up after sleeping for half an hour today. She seemed to be really tired.

He stood up on tiptoe, walked to Mu Mu's desk and dimmed her desk lamp a bit. When he bent down to take a closer look, he found that there was a dim blue layer around her eye circles. It should be some lack of sleep. Her cheekbones seemed like It's a little more prominent, and his complexion is not very good these days.

When Mu Mu woke up, she instinctively looked towards the opposite side, wanting to see if Ye Tianche ran away while she was asleep, but only saw boxes piled up on the table.

"Ye Tianche?" She called softly, her voice was faint and nasal when she just woke up.

The door was pushed open with a "squeak", and Ye Tianche walked in with a few boxes in his arms. He put the things on the table, regardless of Mu Mu's astonished expression, and said, "These boxes are to help sleep and improve sleep quality." sleep quality; these boxes are for nutritional supplements; these boxes are for blood enrichment; and these boxes—”

"Stop," Mu Mu collected her thoughts, and said in a tentative tone, "These are all for me to eat?"

Ye Tianche carelessly pulled out his chair and sat down, looking like a rich man, nodded and said, "Recently, you have lost some flesh on your face. If Aunt Su saw it, she would think I abused you."

Mu Mu swallowed her saliva, and asked without even saying thank you, "How much is this?"

Ye Tianche was taken aback for a moment, then counted carefully with his fingers for a while, finally stretched out a few fingers, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you can pay me back later, I won't charge you interest."

Mu Mu's mouth opened into an oval shape, and she quickly hugged the cheapest can of milk powder, "I only want this."

Early the next morning, there was a strange smell in the room. Mu Mu held her breath and frowned and drank bowls of black things on the dining table. In this way, the big tonic for the special period began. Life.

Ye Tianche on the side gnawed on the bread and thought, "How can I waste the things I bought?"
