Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

Chapter 103 What Happened in the Morning (Please Read~)

Lin Muxi nodded, "Okay~"

She knew that practicing basketball was a very important thing for the seniors.

Because of her, I have been delayed for the whole morning.

It would be inappropriate to delay any further in the afternoon.

Besides, she was fine.

My stomach feels a little heavy, which is normal.

Chen Chen patted her head and said, "Be good, call me if you have any problem."

"Good~"

Chen Chen went upstairs to change his jersey and soon came out with the motorcycle keys.

Lin Muxi stood up and watched him leave.

As his figure gradually walked away, Lin Muxi was the only one left at home, and a faint feeling of loneliness quietly came over her.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her mind full of thoughts.

At this time, Dahuang came to her feet, made two "ang ang" sounds, and wagged his tail, as if he wanted her touch.

Lin Muxi squatted down and stroked its head, "Da Huang, I'm glad you're with me."

"Ang ang ang~"

With one person and one dog at home, I am not lonely anymore.

A few minutes later, Chen Chen's motorcycle stopped beside the basketball court.

When Apia and his companions saw Chen Chen coming, they immediately surrounded him.

"Brother Chen, you're here."

Chen Chen nodded, "Here I come!"

"Is sister-in-law okay?"

"No big deal. Okay, let's start practicing!"

Chen Chen dribbled the ball first.

Their tactics were simple, with Chen Chen as the main force.

Apia and a few others are responsible for passing the ball to him and blocking the enemy.

As long as the ball is in Chen Chen's hands, there is at least a 90% chance of hitting the target.

However, during the training process, Chen Chen gradually realized that Apia and others seemed a little absent-minded and obviously not in good shape.

On several occasions, he signaled to his teammates to pass the ball, but either the pass was off-direction or his teammates failed to follow up in time, resulting in a series of pass errors.

Chen Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, tucked the basketball into his waist, looked sharply at Apia and the others, and asked with a hint of doubt in his tone:

"I didn't come this morning. Did something happen?"

When we were practicing yesterday, we already had a good understanding of each other.

The morale of the army is completely scattered today.

That’s right, the army’s morale is low.

There was a feeling that they didn't want to pass the ball to him.

Apia and the others looked at each other, then lowered their heads silently, not daring to look into Chen Chen's eyes.

Chen Pi forced a smile and tried to hide it, saying, "It's really nothing, Brother Chen, don't think too much."

Chen Chen's eyes swept over them, as if waiting for an answer.

Apia said, "Guo Zhiyuan came to provoke us. But don't worry, Brother Chen, we fought him off. We didn't embarrass you this time."

However, Chen Chen knew in his heart that things would definitely not be that simple.

He continued to stare at them with sharp eyes, trying to see what they were hiding from him.

Under Chen Chen's gaze, Chen Pi and the other three finally couldn't withstand the inner pressure and lowered their heads.

"Brother Chen, Guo Zhiyuan... He said that my sister-in-law is from their side, and hinted that you might..." Chen Pi's voice became smaller and smaller when he said this. He swallowed the last two words "let go", not daring to face Chen Chen's stern gaze.

Chen Chen frowned and asked, "What exactly did you say?"

Chen Pi gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to continue, "We were practicing well this morning when Guo Zhiyuan suddenly rushed over and sneered at us, saying that all our hard work was in vain.

He also said that my sister-in-law is from Guojia Village, and that you have reached some kind of agreement with the people there. On the day of the game, you will not be on the court at all..."

Chenpi was very nervous. He was afraid that the answer he would hear would not be what they wanted.

"Xiaoxi's uncle is indeed from Guojia Village, but Xiaoxi is not. I did meet her uncle last night, and he did intend to make me withdraw from the basketball game."

Hearing this, Apia and the others looked solemn, pursed their lips, and unconsciously clenched their hands into fists.

Is what Guo Zhiyuan said actually true?
Chen Chen really wanted to give up the competition for the sake of a woman, regardless of the honor of the village.

Is this still the Brother Chen they know?
"But," Chen Chen's voice suddenly became firm and powerful, "I, Chen Chen, have always done things with a clear conscience. The basketball game is not only about me personally, but also about the honor of our entire village.

I will not give up the game because of any personal feelings or interests, and I will not let anyone look down on us!"

Chen Chen's words were like a warm current, instantly igniting the fighting spirit in the hearts of Apia and the others.

They looked at each other, determination glittering in their eyes.

However, this determination was quickly replaced by a hint of guilt. They lowered their heads in embarrassment, with a hint of shame in their voices:
"Brother Chen, I'm sorry, we misunderstood you."

Chen Chen patted his arm and said, "If you have any questions in the future, please communicate with me in time. We are a team, representing not only ourselves, but also the entire village."

Changing the subject, Chen Chen's eyes became unusually determined: "Besides, precisely because Guojia Village is Xiaoxi's uncle's home, we must win this competition."

Apia and the others immediately understood that there must be some unknown grudge involved.

And Guo Zhiyuan actually came here to disrupt their military morale.

How despicable!

How could they let Guojia Village's conspiracy succeed?

"Chenjia Village! We will win!"

"Must win!"

……

As the sun sets, the sky is dyed with a gentle orange-red.

Chen Chen rode his motorcycle back home.

Lin Muxi was just cleaning up the mess.

Hearing the sound, Lin Muxi looked up. The moment she saw Chen Chen, her eyes seemed to twinkle with stars and light up.

Chen Chen asked curiously, "Are there any guests at home today?"

Lin Muxi nodded slightly, a blush appeared on her face, and she looked a little shy.

"Yes, there were three of them, saying they were your aunt. I... I didn't know what to do, but luckily my aunt was at home.

When she saw my aunt and her family coming, she quickly came over to help and taught me how to entertain them. Now, they are going to my fourth uncle's house for dinner."

In the past, I would have guests visiting my home during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.

However, she basically doesn't need to entertain anyone.

Moreover, those people came to her house mainly to curry favor with her father.

They brought various gifts, had smiles on their faces, and their words and actions revealed obvious awe and flattery for her father.

Whenever this happened, she would just sit quietly by and watch them perform.

Chen Chen said apologetically, "Xiaoxi, I'm sorry. I didn't know my aunt and the others would be coming today. If I had known, I would definitely not have gone to play basketball this afternoon. I hope I didn't scare you."

Lin Muxi shook her head gently, "No, my aunt and the others are very kind and friendly."

Looking back, my aunt's family appeared in the yard carrying large and small bags, with smiles on their faces.

However, when their eyes fell on Lin Muxi, they were all stunned.
