658 He’s a Classmate
Fu Chen stared at Bai Xi Xi in surprise. But thinking again, it was not strange for someone their age to already have nieces and nephews.
Zhang Qi Lin looked at his aunt and spoke, “Aunt, is he your friend?”
“Un.” Bai Xi Xi nodded. “He’s a classmate.”
Fu Chen scratched the tip of his nose upon noticing the way the younger boy was looking at him.
This was not the first time that someone had given him a scrutinizing look, but facing the boy’s eyes made him feel as if he had done something wrong.
Fu Chen felt the air around him suddenly turn colder.
However, the moment the little boy looked away, Fu Chen felt as if he could breathe again. He immediately consoled himself that he must have been imagining things.
The boy in front of him looked young. How can he intimidate someone with the look in his eyes?
Just then, a short figure ran over to their side. Zhang An Qi looked at her cousin and spoke, “Qi Lin, are you not going to play?” She raised her head and saw the tall boy in front of her. The situation told her that the boy knew their Aunt Xi Xi. “Who is this?”
.....
Zhang Qi Lin turned and spoke, “He’s aunt’s classmate.”
“Oh.” Zhang An Qi was about to turn around to look for her little brother when she noticed the basketball in Fu Chen’s hand. Her eyes lit up. “Big brother, are you going to play basketball?”
Fu Chen followed the little girl’s line of gaze and nodded. “Uh-huh.”
His younger siblings wanted to play in the playground and Fu Chen thought that perhaps, he could practice his skill a little bit. He did not expect that he would run into Bai Xi Xi and her family.
Fu Chen glanced at Bai Xi Xi to look at her reaction.
He could still remember his game with Jian Chi yesterday and how he had suffered terribly in that match. Later, he left the basketball court earlier because he was too embarrassed.
Fu Chen did not expect that he would lose terribly to Jian Chi. His team scored a single digit. Meanwhile, Jian Chi’s team...
Even though Fu Chen was aware that the match was not fair, he realized that he could not complain about it much.
Moreover, he seemed to recall that Bai Xi Xi was present to watch yesterday’s match. Last time, he had caught Bai Xi Xi practicing basketball alone and saw that her skill was quite good. Perhaps, she was better at him. Thinking that she had seen him in such an embarrassing state made him feel as if he did not have the courage to see her at the moment.
But seeing that there was no look of contempt on her face made him feel more at ease.
“Then, big brother, can we play with you? Emm... let me borrow your basketball.” Zhang An Qi said. She looked at Zhang Qi Lin and held his hand. The smile on her face told Zhang Qi Lin that they should go and play together.
Initially, the group of kids came out to play in the playground after having some ice cream. However, when they saw the basketball court, they all thought that it was such a shame that they did not bring the basketball with them.
Seeing that the tall brother was holding a ball in his hand, Zhang An Qi thought that they could borrow it from him for a few minutes.
“Sure...” Fu Chen glanced at Bai Xi Xi again. Seeing that there was no reaction from Bai Xi Xi, Fu Chen then handed the basketball to the little girl.
Zhang An Qi turned around with the ball in her hand and started to call the others.
Fu Chen watched as the group of kids walked over to the basketball court with a complicated look on his face. The kids were young and most of them were short.
Although there was no one playing on the basketball court, he did not think that it would be suitable for the kids to play there.
He glanced at Bai Xi Xi again. Seeing that she was quietly following after the kids, Fu Chen decided not to say a word and watch what was about to happen.
At the center of the basketball court, the kids quickly teamed up into two teams.
Bai Xiang teamed up with his little brother, Zhang Qi Lin, while Zhang An Qi teamed up with her little brother, Zhang Xiao Chen.
Meanwhile, He Miao stood at the side with Bai Xi Xi to watch the cousins having a match. Of course, the little girl would cheer for Bai Xiang.
The kids were small, but their movement in the court surprised him. From the look at it, Fu Chen could see that the kids have been practicing basketball for a long time.
For a moment, he became speechless.
Fu Chen thought that the little boys’ and the girl’s skills were quite good.
Soon, Fu Chen found that there were a few people coming to watch the match as well. Even his siblings came around to watch it.
The little boys and girls were skillful and good-looking. It was no wonder that they managed to attract others’ attention quickly.
Just then, Zhang An Qi managed to steal the ball. After deceiving her cousin with her skill she finally stood under the hoop and made her shot.
The sound of the ball against the hoop was quite loud.
Everyone was standing at the side while watching as the ball entered the hoop.
Soon, the crowd started to cheer.
The cousins realized that there was a crowd watching them and decided that it was time for them to stop playing. They only wanted to play around and not catch others’ attention.
Zhang An Qi took the basketball and returned it to Fu Chen. “Big brother, we have borrowed your basketball long enough. Thank you.”
Fu Chen stared at the basketball in his hand with a dazed look in his eyes. Then, he looked at Zhang An Qi again and spoke, “Little girl, why don’t you play with me for a while?”
