161, Misplaced Life

"This is my cousin Yan Jinyu, from Yanjing."

Yu Haikuo, the leader of the No. 2 Middle School's sports students, who had been competing with Yan Chu for the ownership of the basketball court, pulled a young man who looked unfamiliar to Yan Chu and introduced him to them.

"My cousin is a very powerful small forward. Today, our No. 2 Middle School must beat you down." Yu Haikuo said arrogantly to Yan Chu and others.

No. 1 Middle School is the best high school in Pinghai City. Most of the students studying there are top students, with only a small number of special students or sponsored students.

No. 2 Middle School is the bottom of the No. 8 Middle School in Pinghai. Many of them are students with sports or art specialties, and their academic subjects are not good.

But because of the advantage of special students, the annual college entrance examination pass rate is second only to No. 1 Middle School.

The two schools are close to each other, and the students in the two schools look down on each other.

No. 1 Middle School despises the poor students in No. 2 Middle School, and No. 2 Middle School despises the top students in No. 1 Middle School. The friction between the two sides is not small.

In the previous few times, Yu Haikuo led the group of sports students to play basketball with Yan Chu and others, but they lost to the nerds in his mind. Don't mention how angry he was, just waiting for today to avenge the previous shame.

Before the game, it was agreed that if one side won, the basketball court would belong to that school within the next month, and the people from the other school would have to find another place to play basketball.

The summer vacation of the third year of high school ended early, and in another month, the school would also start tutoring classes in advance. It can be said that if this bet is made, the losing side will have to find another basketball court in a more remote place before the end of the summer vacation, and it may not be able to find a basketball court with no owner and good location.

In other words, the losing side may not be able to play basketball happily this summer, which is a great torture for these young and energetic teenagers.

In addition, this is related to the face of men, which is why Cheng Sheng must find Yan Chu. He is the best center of their basketball team and the soul of the team. The last time they narrowly defeated No. 2 Middle School, it was also Yan Chu's last three-pointer that turned the tide.

"Hello, I'm Yu Haikuo's cousin. You can just call me Jinyu. In this game, friendship comes first, competition comes second. Don't get angry."

Yan Jinyu glanced at Yan Chu. He had heard from his cousin that the center of No. 1 Middle School seemed to have great skills, at least at a semi-professional level.

The other person was very tall, looking over 185cm tall. He hadn't spoken since he arrived at the basketball court, and he seemed to be quite calm.

It's just...

Yan Jinyu frowned. He felt that the other person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

Maybe because his words were too official, Cheng Sheng and other students of No. 1 Middle School felt that the foreign aid Yu Haikuo had found this time was quite artificial, especially at this age when he loved to pretend, and liked to be unique and different. Yan Jinyu's official speech at the school sports meeting was a bit disdainful.

The good kids in No. 1 Middle School thought so, and the sports students in No. 2 Middle School naturally didn't care about Yan Jinyu's words. They just felt embarrassed to boo because the other party was a foreign player hired by their boss.

This is how the middle school boys are. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Yan Jinyu's words.

Although he looks about the same age as them, he is much more calm and down-to-earth. It may be related to his education since childhood. He is less impulsive than his peers and has more scruples in his actions.

Yan Jinyu saw the disapproval of the boys present, and still kept smiling well, without saying anything more.

Both sides sent five players to the court, and the game started directly.

"Xinhan, which side do you think will win this game?"

The beautiful girls who came to cheer on the side chattered and pointed at several players on the court and started their own discussion.

They don't understand tactics or no tactics, and they don't have an intuitive feeling about which side plays well and who plays poorly. They don't understand rebounding or passing the ball after a break. They only cheer when a goal is scored to show that they are watching the game seriously.

Usually, the cheerleaders pay more attention to the players on the court, such as Zhang Chu, the school grass of No. 1 Middle School, Cheng Sheng, the academic master, and Yu Haikuo of No. 2 Middle School, who are all their main targets.

Playing basketball is the time when male hormones can be mobilized the most. The figures running on the court, the strong arm muscles, and the strong chest muscles that can be seen faintly from the wide cuffs when the arms are raised high, and the temptation of sweat running down the cheeks and slowly sliding down the collar.

These scenes can make these young and restless girls can't help but cheer shyly.

In general, the most popular people in the audience are Yan Chu and Yu Haikuo, who are the school grass of No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School respectively.

Yan Chu is tall, white-skinned, and quiet, which makes it easy for people to imagine him as Rukawa, the popular basketball boy in a basketball manga that once swept thousands of boys and girls.

Yu Haikuo is handsome and has a strong physique due to years of physical training. His wheat-colored skin gives him a different sense of security.

The styles of the two school idols are completely different, and each has its own fans.

In comparison, Yu Haikuo is more popular. Everyone knows that the Yu family has an extraordinary background. Yu Haikuo's father is the deputy mayor of Pinghai City. He came from Yanjing. It is said that the power behind the Yu family is even greater. Even if he is only a deputy mayor, everyone knows that Yu Haikuo's father will never stop at this position.

Born with the halo of a second-generation official, just like the standard configuration of the male protagonist in the novel, it can satisfy the fantasies of many girls. Although Yan Chu is more outstanding than Yu Haikuo in appearance, his family background is average. His father is just a small manager of an ordinary company, and his mother is just a housewife.

In terms of family background, Yan Chu suddenly lost its luster. Those who like him are purely for that face.

"You asked this question. Xinhan is from our No. 2 Middle School. Of course, you should think that our No. 2 Middle School will win, unless... unless she is with your No. 1 Middle School's school hunk. At that time, whether her natal family is more important or her husband's family is more important, this question must be asked to our Xinhan."

Xu Jiajia took Zhao Xinhan's arm and said to other girls with a smile.

Zhao Xinhan's face changed slightly, and she pulled Zhao Jiajia's sleeve with embarrassment: "What are you talking about? Zhang Chu never said he likes me."

"Okay, okay, Zhang Da Campus Prince doesn't like you, we are all blind and wrong, okay."

No one took Zhao Xinhan's words seriously. After all, every time everyone joked about the two of them, Zhao Xinhan never seriously rejected it. She was always shy, as if she was embarrassed to agree because of shyness. In their opinion, the two of them were just about to break the window paper.

"In fact, don't you think Yu Haikuo's cousin is also very good? Although he looks a little worse than Yu Haikuo and Zhang Chu, he is much better than Cheng Sheng and others. With the addition of temperament, people feel that he is like those noble sons on TV. Even when playing basketball, he feels elegant. Anyway, he is different from others."

Everyone's topic turned to Yan Jinyu who suddenly appeared. The other party is Yu Haikuo's cousin, and his family must have a background.

Zhao Xinhan's eyes flickered. She had wanted to get close to Yu Haikuo before, but that fool had a head full of muscles and was always indifferent to her advances.

She believed that her appearance was no worse than those popular female stars, and even better because she was young and pure. She was very popular in the eight high schools in Pinghai, and almost no one in several middle schools didn't know that the school hunk in No. 1 High School had a crush on her.

Zhao Xinhan had always been very conceited, but she was defeated by Yu Haikuo. But if you really want to say how much Zhao Xinhan liked Yu Haikuo, it's not true.

She just knew more than her peers since she was a child, and knew what was the most important. Even if Yu Haikuo was fat, as long as he had the surname Yu and the Yu family stood behind him, Zhao Xinhan would like him.

And now, Zhao Xinhan's target has changed again.

Yan Jinyu, Yu Haikuo's cousin from Yanjing, has entered her range of mate selection. After failing to attack Yu Haikuo for a long time, she felt that she should change her target.

"You are very good."

The game ended in a draw. Yan Jinyu was panting, and beads of sweat kept falling from his forehead. It was a big contrast to his calm and self-sustaining performance at the beginning of the game. He finally showed a little youthful vigor.

"You are also very strong."

Yan Chu took out a bottle of iced water from the foam box prepared by the side, which was now at room temperature, and handed a bottle to Yan Jinyu.

"Cheng Sheng, I tell you, I was not prepared today. When we play again another day, I will definitely beat you to a pulp." Yu Haikuo drank a sip of water, and then shouted without changing his nature.

It must be said that the center named Zhang Chu in No. 1 Middle School is still very strong. Yu Haikuo is already quite satisfied with being able to draw this time, but the momentum of his mouth must not be weaker than others. Yu Haikuo once again issued a challenge to Cheng Sheng, thinking that if he played one day when Yan Chu was not on the court, he would have to win from No. 1 Middle School once, otherwise he, the little flying dragon on the court, would be so embarrassed.

"Hehe."

Cheng Sheng almost ran out of breath in this game. He drank water and sat on the ground, not intending to talk to the big fool.

"Zhao Xinhan, I like you. Are you willing to date me?"

When everyone was sitting aside to rest, Yan Chu suddenly stood up, walked to Zhao Xinhan and asked in a deep voice.

The boys who were originally half dead because of playing basketball suddenly became lively, whistling and clapping, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

As the heroine of this unexpected confession, Zhao Xinhan also received envious eyes from many girls.

Confessing in public, so romantic.

But the heroine of the story did not think it was a romantic thing.

Zhao Xinhan bit her lower lip, looking tangled and embarrassed, and almost scolded Yan Chu in her heart.

The way she could accept was that Yan Chu kept his secret love, maintaining it at a level that was not revealed, but everyone knew it, so that she could keep pretending to be stupid, but at the same time accept Yan Chu's kindness and the jealousy of other women.

But Yan Chu had just revealed his admiration and asked her to give him a direct answer. What could Zhao Xinhan say? Especially with Yu Haikuo and Yan Jinyu present.

"We are about to enter the third year of high school. For me now, studying is the most important thing."

Zhao Xinhan spoke in a low voice, with a shy expression.

"Do you like me? Will you date me after the college entrance exam?" Yan Chu did not give up. Many people present knew how much he liked Zhao Xinhan, and were not surprised by his behavior today.

"We are still young, and emotional matters are not within my consideration for the time being."

Zhao Xinhan was a little embarrassed and annoyed. She really didn't know what medicine Zhang Chu had taken today. Why did he have to ask so clearly, making her unable to fool him even if she wanted to.

She racked her brains, and because she didn't want to say it to the end, she pushed everything to age and study, which was also an alternative hope for Yan Chu, making the other party think that after the college entrance examination, he might still have a chance to pursue her.

"It seems that you don't like it, Zhao Xinhan, thank you, from today onwards I will completely say goodbye to this relationship, you are right, the most important thing for us now is the college entrance examination."

Yan Chu drank the mineral water in his hand, and then threw the empty bottle into the trash can beside him.

"Clang" broke the awkward scene at the moment.

No one thought that Zhao Xinhan would refuse. After all, she usually didn't look like she had no interest in Yan Chu. But now Yan Chu confessed to her, and she tactfully refused. Now, people couldn't figure out what she wanted.

Several girls saw something and wondered if Zhao Xinhan's previous behavior was just to keep Zhang Chu hanging?

They were both disdainful of Zhao Xinhan's behavior and happy that Zhang Chu finally asked Zhao Xinhan for the truth today. From today on, the school hunk is everyone's school hunk again.

Because of this failed confession, the No. 1 Middle School and the No. 2 Middle School, which had finally gotten along because of the game, began to have a rift again. Especially the girls in No. 1 Middle School, they almost killed Zhao Xinhan with their eyes. Even the athletes in No. 2 Middle School, who were born with big nerves, noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with their school belle, but they couldn't tell where the problem was.

"That girl just now is not suitable for you."

When a group of people left the court, Yan Jinyu suddenly ran to Yan Chu and said this. Maybe because of the different living environment, Yan Jinyu has seen too many men and women approaching their circle with different purposes. Zhao Xinhan's temper is obviously not deep enough. Yan Jinyu saw the anxiety and disgust in her eyes when Yan Chu confessed just now.

Because of the exciting game just now, Yan Jinyu couldn't help but remind him before Yan Chu left. As for whether to listen or not, it was Yan Chu's business.

"Thank you."

Yan Chu thanked Yan Jinyu, and then rode away on his bicycle at Cheng Sheng's urging.

"Haikuo, are you familiar with that Zhang Chu?" After Yan Chu left, Yan Jinyu suddenly asked his cousin.

"No, he is from No. 1 Middle School, and we just play basketball together occasionally."

Yu Haikuo still admired this cousin who was only one month older than him. When the other party asked the question, he answered honestly.

"I think he looks familiar, but I can't figure out where I've seen him before."

Yan Jinyu frowned. This was a very strange feeling. He couldn't sort out his thoughts for the time being.

"Does he look familiar?" Yu Haikuo thought carefully about Yan Chu's appearance: "Maybe it's because good-looking people look similar. Cousin, you mentioned that. Zhang Chu looks alike to my dad and your dad."

Yu Haikuo's father and Yan Jinyu's father were both famous handsome men in the compound. However, they are now experiencing a midlife crisis. One is bald and the other is fat. You can only see their former handsomeness in photos.

After hearing Yu Haikuo's explanation, Yan Jinyu smiled and didn't bother about this issue anymore.
