On this day, during the break, Fang Hui collected tuition fees.

"Zhao Ye, it's time to pay the tutoring fee."

Zhao Ye asked in surprise: "Didn't I just make friends?"

"That was from last month, and I have to pay it again this month."

Zhao Ye said with some annoyance: "Why do they charge a fee?"

Seeing Zhao Ye like this, Fang Hui asked timidly: "Then when will you hand me over?"

"Can you stop being so annoying? The landlord has to wait two days to collect the rent. I'll make up for it later."

Zhao Shucheng walked in at this time and couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard Zhao Ye say this. After all, Zhao Ye wouldn't be like this before, and he never complained about paying tuition fees before. What happened now?
"Fang Hui, you should go back first. Zhao Ye's tuition fee will be paid later."

"Okay then!" After hearing this, Fang Hui looked at Zhao Ye and knew that the other person was in a bad mood, so he agreed.

Zhao Ye still felt uncomfortable when he saw Zhao Shucheng speaking for him, but he also knew that Zhao Shucheng was helping him, so he could only stand up and walk out angrily.

Zhao Shucheng didn't think it was anything at first, but when he saw the way Zhao Ye walked, there seemed to be something wrong with his feet. His left foot was afraid to touch the ground, so he walked with one foot heavy and one foot light.

Seeing this, Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Zhao Ye was in a bad mood not only because of what happened before, but also for other reasons.

In the afternoon, Zhao Shucheng was playing on the basketball court when Su Kai came over.

"Not bad. I haven't seen you for a few days. My skills are improving again."

Zhao Shucheng was a little surprised when he saw Su Kai coming to see him. After all, the two of them had basically nothing to do with each other, so he didn't understand why he suddenly came to see him.

"Su Kai, if you're not busy studying for the college entrance examination right now, why did you come to see me?"

"You are so skilled, come and help us. Our basketball team is preparing to participate in the Nike Cup Basketball Tournament, and we still need a capable forward like you."

Hearing what Su Kai said, Zhao Shucheng said, "I'm not interested."

Zhao Shucheng didn't refuse on purpose, he really had no interest. After all, with Zhao Shucheng's physical condition and basketball skills, participating in a game with high school students was actually bullying children.

Su Kai didn't believe it and said, "I don't think you have the courage?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "Su Kai, the method of stimulating generals is useless to me. I really have no interest in it."

"I know, you must still be angry about that matter."

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but shook his head after hearing this, feeling that Su Kai had misunderstood something.Thinking back to the time when the two competed for the position of basketball captain, Su Kai won, but he seemed to still remember this.

"You said it was about the basketball captain. In fact, I have stopped being angry for a long time. After all, it is not you who has the final say in choosing the captain, nor is it mine. Although I have better skills than you, I am not as popular as you. , so it’s not surprising that he lost.”

"Actually, you have better skills than me. I don't deny that, but playing basketball is not just about skills. When you played basketball, you only focused on individual performance and had no teamwork at all. Being a captain also requires responsibility and team spirit. .”

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "You don't need to tell me this. I know this, so I also said that I don't care about this anymore."

Seeing that Zhao Shucheng was determined not to join the basketball team, Su Kai couldn't help but frown.Because he really hopes that Zhao Shucheng can join the basketball team, so that their team has a greater chance of winning.Last year, everyone on their team worked hard, but they failed to qualify in the group stage because they did not have a main attacker.

Although there are many freshmen in high school joining the basketball team this year, they are still very immature and it is too reluctant to participate in the competition. A group of old members of the previous basketball team also left because of graduation. Now the team is really lacking in talent. look.Moreover, Zhao Ye's current condition is not very good, and the team's strength may not be as good as last year, so he really hopes that Zhao Shucheng can join.

Soon the group stage of the city's high school basketball competition began. Although Su Kai and the others worked hard, they still lost to No. [-] Middle School.

Su Kai called the team members to assemble and reprimanded Zhao Ye, but Zhao Ye retorted unconvinced. The two people quarreled more and more, and finally Zhao Ye said out of anger that he would not fight.

In fact, Zhao Ye didn't really mean to play poorly, but the injury on his foot was getting more and more serious, but he didn't want others to know, so he could only bandage the wound silently when he was alone.

Because the game time was also class time, Zhao Shucheng and the others were unable to watch the game. After the game was over, Zhao Shucheng looked at Zhao Ye who was limping back and asked: "Zhao Ye, are you okay?"

"Ah, I'm fine."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Zhao Ye's feet. It was not like Zhao Ye said he was fine. Before, one foot was heavy and the other was light. Now he was slightly lame, and he could still smell a trace of blood.

However, Zhao Ye himself was unwilling to say it, and Zhao Shucheng could not force Zhao Ye to say it. He could only observe Zhao Ye's actions to see if it was a sprained foot or other injury problems.

Lin Jiamo tried to reconcile with Zhao Ye, but Zhao Ye was unwilling to talk to Lin Jiamo and deliberately avoided her.

Fang Hui saw Lin Jiamo looking a little disappointed and asked, "Don't be sad. Zhao Ye is like this because he is under too much pressure from the competition."

Lin Jiamo felt that this was not the case, but that there was really a problem between them.

"I'm afraid that we will never be the same again." Lin Jiamo said, looking at the seats behind Zhao Ye and Zhao Shucheng, and then at Qiao Ran's seat on the side.

Qiao Ran has to participate in a competition during this period and has not played with them for a long time. Even the five-person group is about to fall apart now.

"Stop thinking blindly, it will be fine in a few days."

Lin Jiamo shook her head, not feeling that things were really like what Fang Hui said.Now it's Zhao Ye. After they take the college entrance examination, Fang Hui and her may also face problems.

After school, Zhao Shucheng and Zhao Ye were on their way home together. When they passed a pharmacy, Zhao Shucheng said to Zhao Ye, "Zhao Ye, wait a minute! I'm going to buy something."

"No, Chen Xun, what did you go to the drugstore to buy? Are you sick? Or uncle and aunt..." "What are you talking nonsense about? You will know later."

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng stopped his bicycle and asked Zhao Ye to look after him. He walked in and came out soon with a bag of medicines.

"Here, keep it."

"No, why did you give me this?"

"You're still hiding it from me. Isn't your foot a day old? I thought something was wrong with you from the beginning, and now you are limping even more. But I didn't see you going to the infirmary, so I knew you were hiding it from everyone. I bought you the medicine and bandaged it yourself. If you don’t want your feet to have any problems in the end, you still have to be careful.”

Zhao Ye didn't expect that Zhao Shucheng actually saw it, smiled, and said: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the amount of training during this period was too heavy, so I got a blister on my feet. I can just fix it myself when I get back."

"I don't think it's as simple as just hanging out. Since you don't want to tell me, I won't ask you, but you have to pay attention to it. Your academic performance is not good. If you want to be a sports student, your body is the most important thing. , Don’t resist on your own, otherwise your body will collapse before you even wait for the college entrance examination.”

"Oh, I'm not that fragile yet, I'm in good health."

"I hope so."

Zhao Ye looked at the medicine in his hand that Zhao Shucheng handed him, and then looked at the back of Zhao Shucheng who was riding in front, and felt that he was a little too pretentious.He couldn't alienate his friends just because he saw Zhao Shucheng and Lin Jiamo getting close, let alone when it was not certain whether they were together.

On the way home, Zhao Ye accidentally took a road that he would not usually take, but saw his father setting up a stall on the street.Although he had accidentally learned that his father had been laid off when he asked his father for money to buy basketball shoes that day, this scene still hurt Zhao Ye deeply.

In fact, when Fang Hui charged the tuition fees that day, it was not because he was in a bad mood, but because he knew that after his father was laid off, their family would definitely have financial problems, so he was so disgusted with the tuition fees.

But when Zhao Ye returned home, he saw that his father had also returned, and he took the money and said to him: "Zhao Ye, use this money to buy basketball shoes. Don't buy too many shoes."

When Zhao Ye saw the money his father took out, he knew that it was all earned by his father, so he said, "No!"

"Are you embarrassed of me?"

"Dad, you underestimate my skills. Even if I'm barefoot, I can beat them to a pulp."

Seeing what his father was still thinking about, Zhao Ye quickly found a topic to stop his father from thinking too much and said: "By the way, dad, I asked about it. If I pass the second-level basketball certificate this time, I can get extra points in the college entrance examination. I am cultural. If you work hard in class, you will definitely be admitted to a sports university. When the time comes and you make money, I will buy you and mom a lot of things. We don’t even ask the price, we just buy whatever we see.”

Zhao Ye's father looked at Zhao Ye and felt that his son had grown up and knew that he felt sorry for him.However, he still gave the money to Zhao Ye and said: "Zhao Ye, since you are going to take the basketball second-level certificate test, you must buy a good pair of basketball shoes so that you can get a good score. We can't do it just because of a pair of basketball shoes. , such an opportunity was missed.”

After Zhao Ye had eaten, he returned to the room and looked at the medicine given by Zhao Shucheng and the money given to him by his father on the table. He suddenly felt that he had indeed not done well enough before.

From this day on, Zhao Ye made up his mind to be successful, treat his parents well, and not let his friends down.

So he began to practice basketball skills like pitching, dribbling, running back and forth, etc. However, the effect of practicing alone was not very good.

Zhao Shucheng also noticed the changes in Zhao Ye. Although he didn't know the hard work behind the basketball practice, he was obviously much more attentive in class than before.In the past, I basically didn't pay much attention to the lectures in class, and I was always distracted at the bottom, but now I stare closely at the blackboard.

Qiao Ran's competitive exam was also over, and the trio gathered together again.

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "First of all, I would like to welcome Qiao Ran to the end of the competition exam and wish him good results."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but hit Zhao Shucheng and said, "No, you are talking about what happened to me. I don't know what my specific results are."

"Okay, by the way, Qiao Ran, Zhao Ye has been in a state of confusion during your absence. You should comfort him when you come back."

After hearing this, Qiao Ran looked at Zhao Ye and said, "No, Zhao Ye, why am I so important to you?"

"Don't listen to Chen Xun's nonsense. It's because of other things. Okay, what are you going to do later?"

"Aren't you still going to train? I heard that your basketball team is preparing for the Nike Cup." Qiao Ran asked curiously.

"That's it."

Zhao Shucheng knew that Zhao Ye was not telling the truth. In fact, Zhao Ye had stopped participating in the basketball team's training. This news had already spread throughout the campus when Zhao Ye did not go on the first day.After all, Zhao Ye is the main center of the basketball team. Now that the center is not training, the basketball team is half down, which naturally attracts the attention of many people.

However, Zhao Shucheng did not think about exposing Zhao Ye. After all, they were all brothers, so he still had to save some face for him.What's more, it's not all Zhao Ye's fault that Zhao Ye quit the basketball team this time. Su Kai himself also bears a lot of responsibility.

He could forget that Zhao Ye had an injury on his leg and could not see it. However, with such a large amount of training every day, he did not take into account that Zhao Ye had to participate in the competition. Zhao Ye was given additional training the day before the competition, which naturally made Zhao Ye very dissatisfied. .In addition, after losing the game, Su Kai took Zhao Ye to vent his anger, which naturally made Zhao Ye very dissatisfied.

In fact, Su Kai was not only angry because he lost the basketball game, but also because Zheng Xue, who had been in love with him, was going abroad, and Su Kai was in a bad mood because he could not continue to be with her.In addition, after losing the basketball game, it was natural to find a punching bag, and Zhao Ye, who did not perform well, naturally became this candidate.

"Okay, don't think so much. By the way, Zhao Ye, Qiao Ran, the three of us haven't played together for a long time, right?"

Zhao Ye nodded and said, "Yes, it has indeed been a long time."

Qiao Ran also nodded and said, "It's been a long time indeed. I remember the last time was before I participated in the competition, when we were in physical education class together."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go play basketball together today while the three of us are together. By the way, Zhao Ye, I see you've been reading a book during this time. Are you preparing to apply for a second-level basketball player?"

"How did you know?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "You can't hide your little thoughts from me. However, to apply for a second-level certificate, you need to get your name in the competition and then show your sports performance certificate before you can apply. Now we will train with you. Now that my basketball skills have improved, I can apply better. Let’s go and play basketball together.”

Qiao Ran always felt that Zhao Shucheng and Zhao Ye were looking at him for something, but when he saw that the class didn't look like something was wrong, he didn't think too much. He followed Zhao Shucheng and Zhao Ye to the school basketball court and started playing. Play basketball. (End of chapter)
