Chapter 23

Su Qingyuan stood at the entrance of the gymnasium, looking at him with some worry.

Autumn night, the wind is particularly cool, whistling in from the door.

She stood there, not wearing a jacket, still wearing cheerleading clothes, with a "number" embroidered on her left chest. The lower body is still short skirt, one leg is thin and long. She wore a pair of red and white sports shoes, and her feet were small and delicate. There is a basketball beside the sports shoes, which just fell out of the basket that he kicked down and rolled to her side.

Lu Liao clenched his fist and did not intend to explain.

He had a bad temper, and it was not the first time that she saw him. He had nothing to explain.

He restrained himself from talking to her any more and walked around her with his long legs.

But Su Qingyuan bent down, picked up the basketball, took a small step to meet him and handed it to him: "little brother, don't be angry."

Lu Liao eyebrows slightly pick, some surprised. For a moment, he asked her coldly, "what are you doing back here?"

Seeing that he didn't move, Su Qingyuan bent down and put the basketball into the basket in front of the monkey.

In fact, she had heard monkey's words for a long time and knew that today was his birthday. It's only once a year that I have to work here on my birthday. I'm not happy to meet the director of the Sports Bureau who has so many things to do.

She bent down, picked up another ball and put it into the basket: "you can make a lot of money from the time wasted by voluntary labor here. It's natural for you to be unhappy. "

She raised her head and gathered her loose hair behind her ears.

Lu Liao's heart seemed to be hit hard by something. It was painful, itchy and irritable.

Monkey behind him, full of tears: Little sister-in-law, this temper is too good, too gentle He busily picked up all the balls and put them into the basket. Holding the basket, he went backstage and put them away. He didn't want to be a light bulb here.

Su Qingyuan watched the monkey's back disappear in his sight, turned his head and looked at Lu Liao's face.

His expression is still cold, with the original man full look, it seems more fierce.

However, she did not feel afraid.

She gave him a sweet smile: "you wait for me here for a while, I go to change clothes, OK?"

This "good" ending up, quite a bit coquettish. The small pear vortex at the corner of his mouth loomed, which upset him.

If she smiles again, his soul will have to be checked by her.

Lu liaolue nodded stiffly.

"Don't go away." She asked again before she turned and ran into the dressing room backstage.

It was quite a while before she came out of it. She changed into the autumn school uniform of No.1 middle school, carrying the goose yellow schoolbag on her back and two more bags in her hand.

One is filled with her Cheerleading Uniform, and the other is full of bags. I can't see what it is.

Lu Liao naturally lifted her schoolbag from behind.

Su Qingyuan didn't refuse this time. Instead, he turned around and took off his schoolbag for him to take.

He didn't touch the bag of clothes. He was afraid that there would be clothes close to her in it. He was abrupt.

At this time, the host announced that the Pingyu finals would start at the same time. Su Qingyuan waved to him: "let's go out and talk."

Lu Liao gave a "um" and followed her.

She walked out of the side door of the gymnasium, made a circle, went to the basketball court outside, and stood under the basketball stand. She bowed her head and confirmed the round bag in her hand. Then she reached out and handed it to him: "Nah, here you are."

Lu Liao couldn't believe his ears.

as like as two peas, he came to pick up the basketball in the middle of the day, which was just like the champion prize that Wang Zheng had just received on the podium. Nike's basketball, not NBA special, he just looked at it and remembered it.

"I'm tired of running around on my birthday." Su Qingyuan's voice was very soft and soft: "this is for you. Just now, as like as two peas, I went to a Nike store with my teacher to fan Po to the health center. I just saw that I had sold it, just like the champion prize.

When she said these words, she tried very hard to keep calm, but her heart was not obedient and pounding.

For the first time, she was in such close contact with a man that she gave gifts to others.

Once upon a time, she worked hard in high school and didn't even talk to the boys.

It's all because he bought her cake first. She comforted herself. But she knew from the bottom of her heart that she was deceiving herself. Clearly there is something, unconsciously, in the bottom of my heart fermentation, fermentation into a kind of palpitation she does not understand.

But she never knew how much perseverance Lu Liao used to restrain the impulse to hold her tightly.

It turns out that she didn't come back for a long time. She didn't accompany the boy to the hospital or leave him alone to go home. She was attracted by a Nike store. She knew nothing about sports, but she bought the right basketball.

This autumn is so cold, but she is barefoot, shopping for him outside.Lu Liao thought he was a fool. But he got the basketball in his hand, even more happy than when he got the first car.

He didn't speak. His lips were tight.

Su Qingyuan did not understand his expression and continued: "although our school won the championship, but I think the greatest is the unknown behind the scenes workers. Volunteers, like athletes, deserve respect. "

She said so, did not realize that so many volunteers, she only gave him a gift ah.

"You must be very good at playing. I think you are the same as the champion." She pursed her lips: "and happy birthday, little brother."

Lu Liao's breathing is a little rough.

Dim street lights hit him in the face, so that the sharp outline of the bridge of the nose appears more Yingting. He hooked the corner of his lip, and there was an irrepressible smile under his eyes. He asked her, "is basketball for champions?"

She thought about it and nodded seriously: that's right.

He was silent and asked her, "what about my birthday present?"

She was stunned by the question: can't the reward for the champion's behind the scenes workers be regarded as a birthday gift? Can you? Can't you?

Mingming spent a lot of money to buy this basketball and asked her to say, "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare a birthday present"

, but she couldn't say it. She curled her mouth in embarrassment, feeling that his asking for a gift was like a hooligan.

He looked at her tangled with a smile, and finally whispered: "if you don't give it, I'll take it myself."

His voice was a little hoarse, but it was better than what he heard in wechat that day.

He bent down, raised his right hand and held her in the back of the head.

This action seemed to stimulate her defense mechanism instantly. She immediately raised her hands to push his chest. Her voice was urgent and angry: "you can't do this -"

last time, the shadow left in her heart still lingered.

But the man's strength is too big, he can control her whole person in his arms with one hand, can't move at all.

Su Qingyuan closed his eyes in despair - he would never talk to him again!

However, the next second, the expected kiss did not come overbearing.

She gently opened her eyes, but saw a serious expression on the man's face that she had never seen before.

If you get the treasure, it's like if one can't hold it, and she disappears.

He lowered his head so close that his dry lips were lightly imprinted on her forehead.

Unlike last time, this time, he only touched her lightly and let her go, so shallow that she even thought it was her own illusion.

He rubbed her long soft hair and said, "I won't do anything that makes you angry."

Su Qingyuan's cheek was red, but this time she ran away without breath. Who told him to celebrate his birthday today!

She was so obedient and coquettish that in his eyes, she fainted and turned into bursts of joy. Lu Liao took out the basketball and bumped it in his hand.

He didn't buy such a cheap ball even at school. Now playing in my hand, I think Nike's ball is also very good.

"Do you want to dunk?" he asked

"Eh?" Su Qingyuan looked up and looked at the basketball basket that was too much higher than himself. She laughed, eyes bright: "I dunked in our community's children's court."

After that, she realized something was wrong and added: "it's not Lijing garden, it's the community I used to live in."

She raised her hand and compared her chest: "that basket is so high. I put the ball in. It's very violent!"

Lu Liao put the ball into her arms, leaned over, reached out to lift her up and put it on his shoulder.

The body rises abruptly. Su Qingyuan is startled and grabs his arm: "ah, what are you doing? Put me down quickly!"

Subconsciously, she kicks her legs and her shoes kick him.

He doesn't hurt or hide. He just grabs her ankle and says with a smile, "if you move around, you'll fall."

Su Qingyuan was petrified immediately and did not dare to move.

Lu Liao carried her to the appropriate position under the basket, and walked steadily step by step: "try to buckle one."

Su Qingyuan was afraid that he would lose his balance when he stretched out his hand, so he held the ball tightly: "you'd better put me down, please."

His upper body slightly shook up, is laughing at her: "don't worry, certainly don't let you fall."

Only two meters high, Su Qingyuan felt that the air was a little thin. There was no way to go on like this. She held out her hand tremblingly and, like those tall black people on TV, put the ball into the basket.

Dong, basketball landing.

She was suddenly a little happy.

"Is it fun?" he asked her

"Well." She whispered.

"One more time?" he asked

"No, no!" she said

He held her by the waist, put her on the ground, and turned to pick up the ball.Behind him, Su Qingyuan raised his hands and gently covered his cheek - it was so hot.

Lu Liao took her bag and basketball to take her home.

On the way, she asked him, "did you eat cake today?"

He looked at the sky with an open mind: "probably last Sunday."

She understood at the time that he meant the ice cream cake she gave her. He went into her bedroom that day and jumped out the window.

She thought it funny. She took the corner of her lip and said, "there's a cake shop nearby. It shouldn't be closed yet. Shall we have another piece?"

He shook his head lazily: "once a year, I don't like sweets."

She looked up curiously: "you can eat the big piece I gave you..."

"You gave it." He said it carelessly.

She gave it. Even if it was poison, he would take it.

Lu Liao went back to his home and directly carried the basketball into the bedroom.

There is a cabinet in his bedroom for the racing trophies he won. He opened the cupboard, took down the top trophy, stuffed it into the bottom corner, and then propped up the basketball with the base of the trophy.
