The name of the boy who greeted Zhan Weiguang was Xu Fengwen, a senior student in the same school as them. Before Zhan Weiguang graduated, they were both on the school basketball team.
Zhan Weiguang nodded at him and said, “It’s been a long time since we last met.”
Xu Fengwen smiled and asked, “Do you want to play basketball?”
Zhan Weiguang said, “Yeah.”
Xu Fengwen pointed to a few companions behind him and said, “Do you want to join us? There are exactly six of us.”
Zhan Weiguang glanced at those people and said, “Forget it, I’m taking my brother to play.”
Xu Fengwen looked over, somewhat surprised. Because Zhan Weiyang had been hiding behind Pei Qing all this time, he only just now noticed that Zhan Weiyang was actually there. So, he smiled and said, “Alright then, you guys go ahead and play.”
After that, Xu Fengwen returned to the original court, and Xie Ling immediately turned his eyes away and continued to play basketball.
Zhan Xiusong was dribbling the ball. He was a little excited and kept urging everyone to hurry up.
Pei Qing felt Zhan Weiyang still holding his shirt tightly, so he turned around and asked, “Are we going to start?”
Zhan Weiyang said in a low voice, “Yes.”
Pei Qing said, “Then do you want to let me go first?”
Zhan Weiyang reluctantly released his fingers.
Pei Qing then told Zhan Xiusong and Zhan Weiguang, “I’ll be on the same team as Yangyang.”
Zhan Xiusong immediately said, “Okay, I’ll be on the same team as Guang ge!” He was mainly afraid that he would be on the same team as Zhan Weiyang.
Zhan Weiyang heard it and quickly said, “Okay, okay.”
Zhan Xiusong had never played basketball with Zhan Weiyang before. He approached Zhan Weiguang and whispered, “Do we need to hold back our strength later?”
Zhan Weiguang squatted down to tie his shoelaces tightly and looked at him, “What strength do you want to hold back?”
Zhan Xiusong said, “I’m afraid that if I bully Zhan Weiyang too much, he will go and complain to me again.”
Zhan Weiguang stood up and said, “When did he complain to you?”
Zhan Xiusong pursed his lips, “Hmph!”
Zhan Weiguang then said, “Don’t worry, you may not beat him.”
Zhan Xiusong didn’t believe it at all, “How is it possible!” He threw the basketball into the air with full momentum and said, “Come on!”
As it turned out, when the time finally came, Zhan Xiusong realised that Zhan Weiguang wasn’t just talking nonsense. Zhan Weiyang not only knew how to play basketball, but he was also very skilled at it.
Pei Qing was also very good at playing basketball, but he was not at all flashy, just like his personality. His movements were clean and neat, not fancy, but very practical.
The most terrifying thing was that he and Zhan Weiyang cooperated very well. Almost every time he got the ball, he would find an opportunity to pass it to Zhan Weiyang. Zhan Weiyang shot with a very accurate and light movement. Every time he scored a goal, he would look for Pei Qing with a smile and stubbornly clap hands with him to celebrate.
Facing such an opponent, even with Zhan Weiguang’s heroic efforts, Zhan Xiusong was still thoroughly defeated and left speechless.
And because he was fat, he was already out of breath after playing for more than ten minutes, and he couldn’t even run. In the end, he sat under the basketball stand and unscrewed the cap of a Coke bottle to drink water.
Zhan Weiguang stood by and said, “Why don’t you just forget it.”
Zhan Xiusong was not convinced and panted and said, “Wait for me to rest for a while, and then continue.”
At this time, three people left the opposite court, and the rest of the people stopped playing.
Xu Fengwen stood by their court, holding a basketball to watch the game.
Zhan Weiguang turned around and saw Xu Fengwen, who waved at him. He then looked down at Zhan Xiusong and said, “Why don’t you take a break on the side? I’ll call my former teammate to come over.”
Zhan Xiusong said, “No, I want to play!” He wiped the sweat off his face, “How about you call two people, we’ll play 3v3?”
At this moment, Pei Qing walked over to the basketball hoop, bent down to pick up a bottle of water. He then stood up straight, and twisted open the cap. Zhan Weiyang also walked over.
He reached out and handed the bottle of water to Zhan Weiyang first.
But he didn’t expect Zhan Weiyang to misunderstand his action. He didn’t reach out to take the bottle of water but directly opened his mouth, bit the bottle mouth, and then looked at Pei Qing and waited for Pei Qing to feed him.
Pei Qing paused and then had to tilt the bottom of the bottle slightly, slowly and carefully feeding the water into Zhan Weiyang’s mouth.
Zhan Weiyang tilted his head, and the pointed Adam’s apple on his white neck slid up the line with the swallowing action.
Pei Qing suddenly had some thoughts and calmly raised his arm slightly. Seeing that the bottle mouth was about to leave Zhan Weiyang’s lips, Zhan Weiyang quickly stood on tiptoe to reach it but still let some water flow out and slide down along his chin.
He quickly pushed away half a step, and Pei Qing also withdrew his hand.
Zhan Weiyang raised his arm, wiped the water off his face, and said, “Oh, it spilt.”
Pei Qing took back the water bottle, drank a sip with a careless look, and said, “Why are you so careless?”
Zhan Weiyang felt very embarrassed and said, “I’m sorry.”
Pei Qing put the bottle cap back, put the water bottle back under the basketball hoop, and walked towards the edge of the court. He saw Zhan Weiyang following him and whispered to him, “Next time, make sure to catch the water properly.”
Zhan Weiyang nodded quickly, “Okay.”
Pei Qing raised his hand to hug his shoulders, couldn’t help but laugh softly, and said, “Silly Yangyang.”
Zhan Weiyang looked at him, a little embarrassed, and lowered his head again.
When they didn’t notice, Xie Ling stopped by Xu Fengwen on a bicycle and talked to him.
Zhan Xiusong saw it and said to Zhan Weiguang, “Let’s ask them to come together.”
Zhan Weiguang hesitated a little but still walked towards Xu Fengwen and asked, “Are you leaving?”
Xu Fengwen’s tone seemed somewhat regretful, “They’re all done playing.”
Zhan Weiguang invited him and Xie Ling, “Do you want to join us?”
Before Xu Fengwen answered, Xie Ling suddenly asked, “Are you Zhan Weiyang’s brother?”
Zhan Weiguang looked at him and thought he was quite rude. After a moment of silence, he said, “Yes, you are?”
Xie Ling didn’t answer him but continued to ask, “I saw that he plays basketball very well.”
Zhan Weiguang’s tone became cold, “Yes, so? Want to give it a try?”
Xu Fengwen knew the personalities of both people and hurriedly tried to smooth things over, interrupting their conversation and asking Xie Ling, “Do you want to play for a while longer?”
Xie Ling nodded.
Zhan Weiguang then turned to Pei Qing and the others and shouted, “Qing ge, my friend wants to join, can he?”
Before Pei Qing answered, Zhan Weiyang had already grabbed Pei Qing’s wrist tightly and said, “No.”
Zhan Xiusong stood up from under the basketball stand and said excitedly, “Yes, yes!”
Everyone was waiting for Pei Qing’s answer.
Pei Qing looked at Zhan Weiyang’s nervous expression and then at the hand he was holding. Because Zhan Weiyang was holding him too tightly, his knuckles were slightly white. He said to Zhan Weiguang, “Yangyang is not feeling well. Why don’t you four play? I’ll go over with him to rest for a while.”
Zhan Weiguang frowned and walked towards them. Seeing that Zhan Weiyang’s expression was indeed not good, he asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Zhan Weiyang did not answer him.
Pei Qing said, “I’ll take him to the car to sit for a while.”
Zhan Weiguang looked at Zhan Weiyang for a long time, and when he was sure that he had no major health problems, he said, “Go ahead, call me if you need anything.”
Pei Qing patted Zhan Weiyang on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go.”
Zhan Weiyang hurriedly followed Pei Qing. His steps seemed flustered and hurried.
On this side, Zhan Weiguang walked back to Xu Fengwen and the others and said, “My brother is not feeling well. He and my older cousin left first, do you guys still want to play?”
Xu Fengwen said, “I’ll play.” After saying that, he looked at Xie Ling, as if he was unsure of his opinion.
Unexpectedly, Xie Ling said, “Okay, let’s go.”
Pei Qing returned to the car, opened all the windows, and opened a new bottle of water for Zhan Weiyang.
Zhan Weiyang held the bottle and drank it in small sips.
Pei Qing suddenly said, “Yangyang, do you remember when you first started school, you wrote a love letter to someone, but she threw it away?”
Zhan Weiyang looked pale and looked at him with some horror.
Pei Qing asked him, “Do you still like that person now?”
