Those hot basketball days

Jiang Yan was sitting on the table in her small restaurant, writing a roll seriously.

There are several tables of people who drink late every night in the restaurant, drinking and bragging, although noisy, but Jiang Yan is obviously Xi to it.

Although the environment at home is quiet, it is not as good as being in the store. Because she usually speaks little, she doesn't have many friends, so she can only get some rare fun getting along with friends from the conversations between guests.

That's why she was willing to stay with her mother every night until the store closed.

"Little girl, settle the account!" suddenly a middle-aged uncle got up and shouted.

Jiang Yan let out an "oh", quickly stood up, and then found their bill, quickly calculating it in her heart.

The middle-aged uncle was obviously drunk, and jokingly said, "Don't you use a calculator to calculate?

Jiang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry." Not affected by him, he continued to calculate quickly in his heart.

"Hey Lao Zhang, don't be ashamed!" A friend next to the middle-aged uncle said with a smile: "This is the baby daughter of the boss's wife, who has been the first in the school in the Z college entrance examination all the year round, and the materials of Beiqing University in the future, are you still worried that people will miscalculate?"

Lao Zhang immediately waved his hand and said: "Ouch, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, it turned out that the Xi was so good, so let's go quickly, continue to drink in another place, don't delay other children's learning Xi."

Jiang Yan smiled slightly and said, "A total of 374 is consumed, you just give 370." The

middle-aged uncle immediately paid and said: "Little girl, you have to study hard and Xi, marry a successful person in the future, don't be like us, except for drinking all day is bragging."

Jiang Yan covered her mouth and smiled slightly, and said, "I know uncle, welcome to come again next time!"

The middle-aged uncle laughed and said, "Come on, your food is very good, I like it." After that, he sang with a few friends, and walked out of the store tremblingly.

Jiang Yan was a little envious and couldn't help but send them outside the store.

Looking at the backs of everyone gradually moving away and the singing voices with fewer and fewer voices, Jiang Yan suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart.

Although I have a few friends, but the personality is similar to myself, I don't like to talk, every day in addition to studying Xi is to learn Xi, even when we eat together every day, the discussion is basically not physics or chemistry.

I also want to be with a few friends one day drinking and chatting to my heart's content, without thinking about other things at all, although Jiang Yan has never drunk alcohol, but after looking at the people who come to her restaurant every day, you can see that the smiles on their faces after drinking are the most real.

Looking down at her watch, it was already past ten o'clock, Jiang Yan was sitting on the steps at the door of the store, the breeze was blowing, and there was a chill, so that Jiang Yan couldn't help but pull her coat.

A figure slowly walked in the distance, from far to near, is there anyone walking on the street by himself at such a late hour? Jiang Yan was a little curious in her heart, and couldn't help but look up.

When she saw the figure clearly, Jiang Yan realized that the person who came was none other than Su Ce, who she had always wanted to see but didn't see.

Originally, it had been almost a month since they came back from winning the provincial championship, although Jiang Yan didn't have time to watch the game, but the news of their championship had already spread throughout the school, Jiang Yan wanted to congratulate Su Ce in person, but several times he had already walked to the door of their class, but he didn't dare to call him out.

She didn't know why she was so bold, why she couldn't be like other girls who wanted to do whatever she wanted, she hated her weakness, but there was no way, after all, she would blush even if she took the initiative to talk to a boy, let alone let her take the initiative to find a boy in the outer class.

Now that I can see Su Ce here, although I am a little surprised, it still makes my heart feel a little happy.

He didn't seem to be happy? Did something happen?

Seeing that he was still carrying a schoolbag, if he didn't go home so late, was he arguing with his family?"

"Su Ce!" Jiang Yan subconsciously shouted, although this was already his biggest voice, but he still felt that he had no confidence when he said it.

Su Ce heard someone call his name, subconsciously looked up, his expression was a little surprised, and said, "It's you."

Jiang Yan smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, it's a coincidence that I can meet you here, why are you still here so late, are you going to play?"

The expression on Su Ce's face obviously flashed a trace of pain, and then he shook his head and said, "I didn't fight, I'm in a bad mood, come out for a walk."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly, and subconsciously wanted to ask, "What happened?" But when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything.

She felt a little resentful in her heart for why she couldn't open her mouth, but the more she thought about it, the more nervous she became, and several complicated expressions flashed on her face.

The two of them just looked at each other, and neither said anything to each other.

"You... The two of them, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke at the same time.

"Let's talk about it first. Jiang Yan was a little amused, covering her mouth and laughing.

Su Ce shook his head and said, "It's better for you to say it first."

Jiang Yan plucked up her courage and asked, "Did something happen?"

Su Ce shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's hard to say.

Jiang Yan was a little embarrassed, nodded, and said, "Okay."

Su Ce paused and said, "Do you have any wine at home

?" Jiang Yan shouted: "Yes, do you want to buy it?"

Su Ce nodded and said, "Let's go, just go in and sit down." Walking quickly into the store, Jiang Yan immediately stood up, patted the dust on her pants, and then followed the store quickly.

After entering the door, I saw Su Ce find the closest position to the door, and just sat blankly, with his head down.

Jiang Yan hurriedly poured him a glass of water and said, "Let's drink saliva first."

Su Ce shook his head and said, "Get me a few beers." After a pause, he squeezed out an expression that was more ugly than crying, and said, "Don't worry, the wine money will pay you normally."

Jiang Yan shook her head and said, "Our family doesn't sell wine to minors, especially minors who are still in school.

Su Ce sighed and said, "Can you make an exception for me?"

Jiang Yan hesitated for a long time, but still made up her mind, immediately took two bottles of beer, put them on the table, and said, "Count me as a treat."

Su Ce smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."

Jiang Yan Xi picked up the beer and put it in front of Su Ce.

Su Ce picked up the beer on the table and drank it in a big gulp, then suddenly choked and coughed out loudly.

Jiang Yan frowned, hurriedly walked over and patted his back gently, and said, "You can't drink like this, there is too much foam, it will make your stomach feel very bloated, you still have to drink it in a cup." Then he took a clean cup, tilted it over, and quickly poured the ball in.

Su Ce said: "You seem to understand very well.

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "I've been in the store for a long time, so naturally I've seen a lot."

Su Ce quickly drank the beer in front of him, and then still lowered his head.

Jiang Yan knew that he had something on his mind, but he didn't say it, and he was embarrassed to ask, so he had to fill the cup in front of him again, sit opposite him, and accompany him quietly.

Su Ce came with a grateful look.

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "I'll go get you some side dishes, you'll get drunk easily if you drink like this."

Su Ce nodded and said, "Thank you."

Jiang Yan quickly ran to the back kitchen to prepare a plate of side dishes and put them in front of Su Ce.

Su Ce drank another glass of wine, suddenly raised his head, and said to Jiang Yan, "Do you want a drink?" Jiang Yan

smiled and subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but today she didn't know what was wrong, so she didn't refuse at the first time, but she really wanted to try it.

Nodding heavily

, he said, "Yes!" immediately poured himself a glass, and then learned from the adults he often saw, clinked his glass with Su Ce, and said softly: "Cheers!" Su

Ce's heart warmed, and he quickly finished drinking the wine in the cup.

Jiang Yan also took a sip, only to feel a strange smell rushing into her nasal cavity, and the taste was bitter and difficult to swallow, but she still endured and drank the wine.

Su Ce looked at her with a painful expression on her face, and said with some amusement: "It seems that you really haven't drunk."

Jiang Yan frowned, and said a little speechlessly: "I don't know how everyone drinks such a bad thing so happily."

Su Ce remembered what Anna had said to herself, and said with a smile: "Wine is a very magical thing, drinking it when you are happy, it will make you twice as happy, and similarly, when you drink it when you are sad, it will share your pain and make your pain disappear quickly."

Although Jiang Yan didn't believe what he said, she still smiled and said, "That's a good feeling." With that, he poured another cup for Su Ce.

Su Ce shouted again, "Cheers!" and drank the wine again, then lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Jiang Yan was a little curious, and forcibly took a sip gently, which was strange to say, the second sip was obviously not as unpleasant as the first sip.

Su Ce suddenly asked, "You say... Do the elders never know what we want?"

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "Not necessarily, why do you ask that?"

Su Ce shook his head and said, "The reason why I am still outside so late today is because I ran away from home. "

Running away from home?" Jiang Yan was obviously a little surprised, but still said quietly.

"That's right. Su Ce smiled miserably: "Do you know what the reason is?"

Jiang Yan frowned, then shook her head lightly, and listened to him carefully.

Su Ce's heart warmed, he liked Jiang Yan's character of listening carefully when she should listen, but not saying a word of nonsense, which was probably the reason why she could say a lot in front of her.

"I got into a fight with my dad and it was very fierce because he didn't like my poor grades in Xi and didn't let me play. Su Ce said word by word, and then drank another glass of beer.

Jiang Yan shook her head and said, "Some people are not born to learn Xi, and it is useless to force them. After a pause, he said with a smile: "But it doesn't mean that they can't become talents, because this kind of person can always be much better than ordinary people in other aspects."

When Su Ce heard this, he suddenly had a feeling of finding a soulmate, and quickly poured two glasses of beer again, and said, "Thank you, I think so too, I toast you!"

Jiang Yan smiled slightly, and the two touched the glass again, and then took a sip.

Su Ce saw that the two bottles of beer were almost drunk, and said, "Can you take two more

bottles?" Jiang Yan smiled and nodded, quickly brought two more bottles of beer, filled the empty cup in front of Su Ce, and then continued to listen to him quietly.

Su Ce finally opened up the conversation box at this time, and said the reason why he quarreled with his father, and the reason why his father didn't let him play for so many years, as well as his family's situation and his love for basketball.

I don't know how long I talked, Jiang Yan sat opposite him all the time, listened quietly to him, and took the initiative to pour him the wine glass in front of him.

When Su Ce finished saying all this, his heart finally felt a lot happier, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing Jiang Yan still blinking her big eyes and quietly accompanying her, Su Ce's heart flashed with a hint of emotion, and said, "Thank you, you are willing to listen to me nag so much."

Jiang Yan held her chin in her right hand, shook her head gently, and said, "Actually, I can understand your thoughts, and I don't think there's anything wrong with chasing your dreams." What's more, you already have a higher talent in basketball than others.

Su Ce shouted, "What do you think?"

Jiang Yan nodded and said softly: "I used to be a person who never watched basketball, and even basketball had nothing to do with my world at all, but since I watched a game of yours in the school's arena, I have discovered the true charm of basketball."

"You on the court are completely different from what I have in my impression of you, whether it is your whole mental outlook or the momentum you exude on the court, everyone can feel that is the most real you, you are born for basketball." Jiang Yan's face was red because of the wine, and she looked even more delicate under the light, and said, "I believe your father shouldn't have seen you play on the spot, right?"

Su Ce shook his head and said, "Never." That's why I envy other people, no matter where they race, no matter how good or bad they are, there are always parents who support them along the way, and I also hope that my dad can support my dreams.

Jiang Yan smiled and said: "I believe that if he went to watch you play, he would definitely agree to play, because you on the court are completely different from you in ordinary life." If I had to say it, I think it's an art, a unique art that belongs to you, and you can be silent and unable to extricate yourself, and you can completely recognize the charm of basketball.

Su Ce never expected Jiang Yan to say such a thing, and said with some surprise: "What you said... Is it all true?"

Jiang Yan nodded and said, "Some people say that Jay Lun is the most handsome when he sings, Lang Lang is the most handsome when he plays the piano, and the same is true for you, you are the most handsome when you play."

Su Ce, who heard this, was greatly encouraged, and his heart was also unprecedentedly excited, and he couldn't help but shout: "Thank you, I want to toast you again."

Jiang Yan, who drank for the first time, obviously felt the kind of happiness brought to her when the alcohol surged, and said with a smile: "Okay." He took a sip of wine and said, "I seem to understand your opinion on wine."

Su Ce smiled slightly, chatting with Jiang Yan will always make people feel like a spring breeze, which no one can do.

Jiang Yan continued: "But from your father's point of view, I don't think there's anything wrong with him. As a son, he regrets not being able to see his mother for the last time, which is human nature. The reason why he doesn't want you to play is that he doesn't want you to have this kind of regret. He blinked his big beautiful eyes and said, "Although this may not happen, he is still worried, and I think this is probably a kind of psychological trauma."

Su Ce was stunned, what did Jiang Yan mean that his father had a trauma?

Jiang Yan said: "Although father's love is not as vigorous as mother's love, it is also great." Fathers are the kind of children who are not good at expressing themselves, but will silently protect their children in the dark, like a reliable mountain, standing there forever. The reason why he doesn't let you play is also a way to protect you, because he was traumatized when he was young because he didn't see his mother for the last time, and he has been living with trauma for so many years.

Suzer paused, and lowered his head a little sadly.

Jiang Yan continued to smile and said, "You said that your father never knew what you wanted, but do you know what he really wanted?

Su Ce was a little painful, took a sip of wine, and said, "I tried to communicate with him, but he didn't listen at all.

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "But I feel from your description that the two of you don't have a heart-to-heart relationship, what you need is the kind of heart-to-heart chat."

"How can parents not love their children? No matter how angry their children are, parents will do their best to take care of their children, always want to give their children the best, and also hand over all the dreams and regrets of their youth to their children. In the same way, I don't want my children to experience the injuries and hardships I have suffered, because it is a particularly painful memory. Jiang Yan said with a smile: "So your father won't let you play, just don't want you to experience his pain again."

Su Ce was in a trance, thinking of everything his father had paid for himself and the heart he had for himself since he was a child, his heart couldn't help but be greatly moved, his nose was sore, and tears fell leisurely.

Jiang Yan looked at the tall big boy in front of her and cried when she cried, and she didn't have a trace of wanting to laugh at it in her heart, but became even more distressed.

It seems that although he is so domineering on the court, he is just an ordinary little boy in life, and he is even more immature than a girl.

Su Ce wiped his tears and took a quick sip of wine, the more he thought about it, the more moved he became, and he couldn't help crying loudly.

Jiang Yan was a little distressed, couldn't help but get up, sat next to him, and gently comforted his back.

I don't know if it's because of the alcohol or if Su Ce has been suppressed for too long, he completely released it now, not caring about Jiang Yan beside him, and crying.

Jiang Yan was a little distressed, and couldn't help but reach out and hold his hand.

She didn't know why she was like this, but she usually blushed when she talked to boys, so she actually took the initiative to shake a boy's hand.

Su Ce turned his head sideways and leaned his head on Jiang Yan's shoulder, releasing his emotions to the fullest.

Jiang Yan didn't dodge, just let his tears wet his clothes.

I don't know how long it took, Su Ce finally stopped sobbing, and Jiang Yan still quietly accompanied him, waiting for him to ease down.

After a while, the sound of quiet breathing sounded in her ears, and Jiang Yan turned her head sideways with some surprise, this guy actually fell asleep on her shoulder.

I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, how could I be like a child, I was crying just now, and now I fell asleep directly?

Maybe it's too much pressure.

Jiang Yan thought a little funny.

Despite this, Jiang Yan still didn't wake him up, and let him fall asleep on his shoulder, for her now, it would be good for her to be with him for a moment longer.

The boy in front of him was so funny, the first time I saw him, he protected himself when the bus was driving at high speed, and he made himself feel at ease at that time. Later, I saw him playing on the court again, and I felt terrible. Now it's like a helpless child, and I make myself feel funny.

What kind of boy is this, and there is such a side.

At this moment, there was a sound of fast footsteps outside the door, and a person ran in quickly.

Jiang Yan turned around with some curiosity, and saw that it was none other than Su Ce's good friend, Jia Ming.

"Eh, girl, this is your shop, may I ask you to see it. Huh?" Jia Ming was taken aback, he didn't expect that the boss he had been looking for was actually here, still leaning on Jiang Yan's shoulder.

"Ahh Jiang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Are you here to find him?" He drank too much and is asleep now.

Jia Ming immediately shouted: "Thank God, I have been looking in this direction, and I basically pass by a store to go in to see if he is there, but I didn't expect to meet him here."

Jiang Yan looked at Jia Ming's anxious look, and then saw the beads of sweat rolling down his face, so she naturally understood his mood to find Su Ce all the way.

Thinking that he could be such a good friend, I couldn't help but feel a wave of envy in my heart again.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, he's fine."

Jia Ming frowned, and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, he quarreled with his father in the evening, and ran away from home in a fit of anger, we are going to Kyoto tomorrow to compete, so I am a little worried about him."

Jiang Yan nodded and said with a smile, "I heard about it." Motioning for Jia Ming to come over, Jia Ming walked over quickly, took Su Ce, put his arm on his shoulder, and said, "I caught him, thank you."

Jiang Yan also drank a lot of wine tonight, and her head was dizzy, she waved her hand lightly and said, "It's okay, he's much better, you can take him back and have a good rest."

Jia Ming looked at the bottles of beer on the table, and immediately shouted: "How much is the wine, I will transfer it to you."

Jiang Yan waved her hand and said with a smile: "This is my home, how can it be your turn to pay for it, this meal is my invitation, take him back quickly, don't affect tomorrow's game."

Jia Ming was a little moved and said, "Thank you, sister."

Jiang Yan waved her hand, signaling that it was okay.

Jia Ming nodded and said, "Then I'll take him away first, and I'll cause you trouble."

Jiang Yan waved her hand again, signaling that it was okay, and said, "Come on for the game, you must come back with another championship."

Jia Ming nodded and said, "Don't worry, we'll do our best." In this way, Su Ce left Jiang Yan's hotel.

Jiang Yan looked at the backs of the two of them gradually moving away, and only felt dizzy, but her mood was much better, and her thinking was not as old-fashioned as before. She was a little surprised by her changes, she didn't know if it was because of alcohol or because of chatting with Su Ce, she suddenly felt that contact with boys didn't seem so terrible.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but show a charming smile and said with a smile

, "Thank you, Su Ce. May you all the best and better. The
