Love So Sweet

With the ball in his hand, the classmate passed the ball to Jian Chi. After teasing Fu Chen and his team for a while, Jian Chi finally shot the ball into the hoop.

Bai Xi Xi grew frustrated upon watching how Jian Chi was bullying others. But the guys in Fu Chen’s team looked as if they did not mind losing to Jian Chi.

Suddenly, Bai Xi Xi thought that this match was quite pointless.

It was only for Jian Chi to show off his strength, wasn’t it?

Bai Xi Xi planned to leave. But looking at the crowd, she felt that it would be troublesome to move around. The girls were still excited about the match. Of course, Jian Chi’s supporters were especially loud.

In the end, Bai Xi Xi could only sit down and continue to watch the match.

Seeing Fu Chen running around the basketball court made her pity him. She wondered if Fu Chen knew that he and his team was bullied. The boy seemed as if he was working very hard in this match.

Fu Chen was running around the court for a chance to grab the ball, but it seemed that Fu Chen’s teammates were always surrounding him, giving him no chance to move forward.

.....

The cheering voice of Jian Chi was loud. Meanwhile, the girls who were cheering for Fu Chen’s team began to quieten down. They seemed to know that Fu Chen was going to lose in this match.

As bystanders, they could see how Fu Chen was bullied.

Bai Xi Xi shifted her gaze to the court. From the look at it, it seemed that Fu Chen finally figured out what was going on.

The boy bent forward with his both hands on his knee. His face was full of perspiration. His wet hair was covering half of his face. His gaze was on Jian Chi.

Bai Xi Xi wondered if Fu Chen was going to give up.

Initially, she came wanting to watch Fu Chen’s skills. But it seemed that the boy never had a chance to hold the ball. Bai Xi Xi wondered if coming to watch this match was pointless.

If Jian Chi was a real man he would ask Fu Chen for a one-on-one match. But this boy was afraid that he would lose his friend as the basketball captain. Therefore, he asked the others to help him bully the newly transferred student.

The match started again after a brief break.

Fu Chen was still blocked by Jian Chi’s teammates.

Meanwhile, Fu Chen’s teammates were standing on the basketball court half-assedly. They seemed to be moving around, but not working hard enough to grab the basketball from Jian Chi.

Jian Chi scored another two points for his team.

At the side, Jian Chi’s teammates began to lower their guards against Fu Chen. They saw that he seemed to be giving up and decided that they did not have to guard against him that much.

Moreover, even if he finally find his chance to fight, there was no way that Fu Chen would win the match. Jian Chi alone had scored a lot of points. If he did not play around, trying to taunt Fu Chen, perhaps, he would be able to score more.

While Jian Chi’s teammates were lowering their guards, Fu Chen took his chance to lurch forward until he reached Jian Chi’s side.

His feet were fast enough that the others had not seen him coming. By the time they wanted to stop Fu Chen, the boy had already snatched the ball from Jian Chi.

Jian Chi was too startled when the ball in his hand suddenly disappeared. When he looked up again, Fu Chen jumped up high and slam-dunked. The sound of the ball entering the hoop before it bounced on the floor was especially loud.

The crowd started to roar, cheering for Fu Chen again.

This made Jian Chi angry. He looked at Fu Chen as if the boy was his long-time enemy.

Bai Xi Xi narrowed her eyes as she watched the way Fu Chen was moving. She thought that his speed was quite admirable. His skills might not be as good as her brother or sister-in-law, but with more practice, perhaps he would improve.

Moreover, if one looked carefully, Fu Chen’s skill was better than Jian Chi’s. At least, he was calm on the basketball court and did not try to show off.

After a while, the match finally ended with Jian Chi’s team winning big.

The crowd started to cheer, but Bai Xi Xi could see that Jian Chi was not too happy about it. Perhaps, he also knew that even though he was winning, his skill was not as good as Fu Chen’s.

However, as the girls were surrounding him, Jian Chi had no other choice but to put on a smile on his face.

Fu Chen watched Jian Chi for a while before he finally turned around and left. There were others who surrounded him, but Fu Chen was ignoring them.

Seeing that the match had ended, Bai Xi XIi turned to her friends and spoke, “Come on. Let’s go back to class.”

Su You Lin heaved a long, heavy sigh. “I should have expected that Jian Shi was going to win, but why do I feel unsatisfied by this?”

Du Yao Yao nodded. “Me too. But I don’t understand basketball much, except that the boys look especially cool on the basketball court.”

Bai Xi Xi could not help but chuckle upon hearing her friend’s words.

She also thought that boys look especially cool on the basketball court. But of course, not all boys would make her feel this way.

Her early memory of this sport was of her brother. Back then, she had seen her brother practicing basketball once. Later, she always remembered her brother’s match with her sister-in-law.

Perhaps, the reason she wanted to learn basketball was because of her sister-in-law. The woman was too cool each time she was on the basketball court. As her brother was busy with his work, it was her sister-in-law who had taught her a lot of moves.
