After that, Chi Xu's teammates called him and Jia Fang over to discuss the second - half tactics.
Chi Xu responded, then looked down at Jiang Yuan. The girl's cheeks were slightly flushed, glowing a soft halo under the lights, like a ripe peach that made one can't help but take a bite.
He hooked the corner of his lips, reached out and patted Jiang Yuan's head, whispering, "You just wait for me here. I'll come find you after the game."
Jiang Yuan covered her head and stared at him with wide eyes. She looked just like an innocent rabbit.
Little rabbit Jiang Yuan gritted her teeth, showed her true nature, waved her hands menacingly at his departing back, then put her hands on her hips and shouted without any real threat.
"Who wants you to wait for me!"
Next to her, Lin Suye shook her head helplessly and leaned over to whisper, "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, this isn't how you chase someone in novels. You should be gentler."
Jiang Yuan: "..."
What if she just couldn't be gentle?
It wasn't the first or second time she had bickered and fought with Chi Xu.
It was hard to change one's nature.
The halftime break ended quickly, and the players from both sides took the court again.
Jiang Yuan and Lin Suye chatted casually, but in her heart, she kept paying attention to Chi Xu's movements.
She stole glances at him from time to time. Seeing Chi Xu rushing forward and concentrating on playing basketball, her heart skipped a beat.
The game gradually entered a stalemate. Chi Xu dodged the opponent's defense and rushed to the basket. The enemy players followed closely behind.
Chi Xu suddenly leaped up, and with full force, he shot the basketball forward.
Two opponents rushed up to double - team Chi Xu and blocked his shot.
Chi Xu knew he had missed the best opportunity, so he took the chance to slam the basketball down, and it instantly rebounded to his teammate.
The two opponents missed, and one of them immediately turned around to chase the basketball.
The teammate with the basketball was surrounded. He carefully looked for a breakthrough.
Chi Xu stood under the basketball hoop. The blown - up hair revealed a superior brow bone. He slightly raised his eyes, his gaze calm.
The teammate made a decisive decision and threw the basketball at Chi Xu with all his strength.
Chi Xu ran like the wind,甩掉 the intercepting players, stretched out his arm, and caught the ball first.
There was an effortless elegance about him in the wind.
Chi Xu rushed to the basketball hoop, held the ball in his hand, jumped up, and slammed it into the basket.
This time, no one blocked him.
The basketball went into the hoop with a thud.
Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd.
The referee announced that the School of Information Science had won.
"Chi Xu is so handsome!!!"
"Chi Xu, you're the best!!!"
"School of Information Science will win!!! School of Information Science must win!!!"
On the court, the tall and slender figure of the boy stood still. His back was straight, and the soft lights shone on him, adding a glorious radiance. He was shining brightly.
The boy who had won the whole game gasped for breath. He casually wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his hair was damp.
Suddenly, he looked up at the crowd and smiled brightly.
Jiang Yuan's heart skipped another beat. Her innocent and clear eyes met his proud ones.
In an instant, those proud eyes suddenly turned into ones full of panic and horror.
Jiang Yuan saw Chi Xu's face change suddenly, and he rushed towards her.
At the same time, there was a scream from the crowd.
What was going on?
Just as Jiang Yuan was wondering, a basketball came flying towards her into her clear eyes.
The crowd was in an uproar, pushing and shoving to escape.
Suddenly, someone pushed her. Jiang Yuan was completely unprepared and fell forward.
The flying basketball hit her arm hard.
"Ah!" Jiang Yuan let out a painful scream. Her body swayed and she almost fell.
The basketball dropped and rolled on the ground.
Lin Suye was startled by this sudden accident. She quickly reached out to hold Jiang Yuan tightly and shouted anxiously, "Yuanyuan! How are you? Are you okay?"
The surrounding students all cast sympathetic and relieved looks.
Chi Xu was a step too late. Seeing Jiang Yuan's pale face, his heart ached too.
He ran to Jiang Yuan's side, gently held her arm, and carefully checked it. The place hit by the basketball had quickly swollen up.
Another boy ran over. When he saw Chi Xu and Jiang Yuan, his face turned as white as a sheet. He kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It was an accident. How about this? Let's send her to the school infirmary right away. I'll pay all the medical expenses."
Chi Xu looked at the boy calmly. Coincidentally, Jia Fang ran over. He said, "Jia Fang, help me get his contact information. I'll find him after we know the result."
"Actually, it's nothing serious. I just got hit," Jiang Yuan said, trying to hold back her uncontrollable tears. She tried to raise her head to keep them from falling. "I'll just go to the infirmary and have a look."
Jiang Yuan thought she was really unlucky. She had come to watch Chi Xu play basketball on a whim, and now this happened. Everyone was staring at her.
Maybe tomorrow, no, maybe right now, she would be on the school forum and become completely famous.
It was all because there was a Chi Xu beside her who was always a hot topic.
Chi Xu frowned. His eyes were full of worry. Without saying a word, he supported Jiang Yuan's other arm.
"It's swollen and you still say it's okay. Don't be so stubborn," he said, then half - supported and half - pulled Jiang Yuan towards the infirmary.
Jiang Yuan wanted to cry but had no tears. She just wanted to go alone. She turned to look at Lin Suye for help.
Lin Suye winked at her and made a gesture of "win over Chi Xu".
Jiang Yuan: "..."
Along the way, Jiang Yuan tried to break free from Chi Xu's hand. She didn't want to attract too much attention, but Chi Xu seemed determined and held her tightly, not allowing her to refuse.
The surrounding classmates all cast curious looks, and the whispering voices also reached Jiang Yuan's ears.
"That's Chi Xu, right? Why is he holding a girl? It's the first time I've seen this."
"Could she be his girlfriend?"
"Definitely not. I've never heard that Chi Xu has a girlfriend. It must be fake."
"..."
Jiang Yuan's face turned slightly red. She didn't know if it was because of the pain or embarrassment.
She groaned inwardly. It seemed that she was really going to become a hot topic on the school forum.
Chi Xu thought her blushing face was due to the pain. He comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. We'll be at the infirmary soon. Bear with it."
When they arrived at the infirmary, the doctor quickly examined and treated Jiang Yuan. After a diagnosis, it was determined that there was no bone injury, just soft - tissue contusion and congestion.
The doctor applied ointment to Jiang Yuan, bandaged her arm, and gave some instructions.
Chi Xu's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. He sat beside the bed and blamed himself, "It's good that you're okay. If something really happened to you..."
"What would happen if something really happened to me?" Jiang Yuan felt a warmth in her heart. She asked curiously, and at the same time, she was puzzled.
She just got hit by a basketball. Why did Chi Xu seem more nervous than she was? And this nervousness didn't seem to be fake...
A bold thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Yuan's mind, but she quickly shook her head and denied it.
How could Chi Xu have special feelings for her? If he did, he wouldn't have... Maybe it was just out of the concern for someone he had known since childhood.
