659 Let’s Go for Another Round
Zhang An Qi stared at the tall elder brother. She could not help but find it strange for an adult man to ask her to play basketball.
Shouldn’t he ask someone his age to play with him?
Before Zhang An Qi could decline, Bai Xiang walked over and looked at her again. “That’s right, An Qi, let’s go for another round.”
Just now, Zhang An Qi managed to score a point. Meanwhile, he did not get to do anything much before his cousin urged them to leave.
Bai Xiang thought that if they were given a longer time to play, he too would be able to score a point.
Anyway, his Miao Miao was around. Bai Xiang wanted to show his skills to Miao Miao and let her know that his skill was not that bad.
While Bai Xiang was looking at his cousin, He Miao walked over to Bai Xiang and held his hand. “Brother Bai Xiang, I think you looked the coolest when you were on the basketball court.”
The little girl’s words had successfully added fuel to Bai Xiang’s heart. The urge to show off in front of his Miao Miao intensified.
“An Qi, Xiao Chen, let’s go for another round, alright?” Bai Xiang turned to Fu Chen and spoke, “Big brother, why don’t you play with us as well? That’s right...” He turned to look at her aunt and spoke, “Aunt, you play with us too. A team of three-on-three. Of course, you have to be on my team.”
.....
Hearing this, both Zhang An Qi and Zhang Xiao Chen became unhappy.
“Brother Bai Xiang, that’s not fair.” Zhang An Qi pouted. She turned to Bai Xi Xi and spoke, “Aunt, you have to be on my team. Anyway, us girls have to stick together.”
“Aunt...” Bai Xiang went to Bai Xi Xi’s side and shook her hand. He leaned over and spoke, “I’ll let you call me Bai Cai, alright?”
Bai Xi Xi was amused with the situation.
Meanwhile, Fu Chen stood at the side with a slightly embarrassed face. He was starting to doubt his basketball skill upon seeing how none of the kids wanted to team up with him.
“Alright, if you want to play, then, let’s just decide this with rock, paper, and scissors,” Bai Xi Xi finally made up her decision.
Initially, Bai Xi Xi was not planning to play along, but seeing the look on the children’s faces softened her heart a little.
Bai Xiang looked at his cousin and the two of the readily agreed with this arrangement. Then, he looked at Fu Chen and spoke, “Big brother, is that alright?”
“It’s alright.” Fu Chen could not help but cast a few more looks at the kids. He thought that the kids were quite brave and they were not afraid of people.
The group decided to form their team with rocks, paper, and scissors.
In the end, Zhang Qi Lin and Zhang Xiao Chen teamed up with Bai Xi Xi while Bai Xiang and Zhang An Qi teamed up with Fu Chen.
Bai Xiang could not help but feel slightly disappointed that he did not get to be on the same team as his favorite aunt.
However, Zhang An Qi was in his team and her skill was not so bad.
Bai Xiang shifted his gaze to Fu Chen.
His little brother told him that this man was his aunt’s classmate. Although the young man owned the basketball and seemed quite tall, Bai Xiang did not know anything about his skill.
Fu Chen was still trying to figure out how he was going to play with the kids when he noticed someone was staring at him. He turned around and saw that Bai Xiang was giving him a scrutinizing look.
This was the second time that he was stared at by a kid and Fu Chen could not help but wonder if he had done something wrong.
Fortunately, Bai Xiang’s gaze was not as scary as his little brother’s.
Of course, this was because Bai Xiang was too preoccupied with trying to impress He Miao that he had neglected the fact that there was a young man trying to get close to his aunt.
Fu Chen cleared his throat and walked over to Bai Xiang’s side. “Kid, what’s your name.” Worried that the young boy would think that he was being suspicious, Fu Chen decided to take the initiative to introduce himself first. “My name is Fu Chen. I’m your aunt’s classmate.”
Bai Xiang shifted his gaze to his aunt. Seeing that his aunt had nodded, Bai Xiang began to lower his guard a little bit. “My name is Bai Xiang.” He turned to the others and started to introduce everyone else as well.
Just then, a group of kids walked over to Fu Chen’s side. They heard that their elder brother was about to play basketball with the younger kids and was curious to see the game.
Their elder brother liked to play basketball very much. However, because they were all younger and shorter, they had never played a match with their elder brother. Most of all, Fu Chen would only teach them a few skills.
Later, their interest in the game disappeared when they could not grasp the skills.
Once Bai Xiang and the others have formed their teams, the six of them went back to the basketball court again.
Fu Chen looked at the kids again and wondered if this was alright. He was the one who asked Zhang An Qi to play a round of basketball with him. But now that he was about to have a match with those kids, Fu Chen could not help but to feel a little awkward.
The others would not think that he was bullying little kids, right?
His gaze fell on Bai Xi Xi who was on the opposing team.
A light appeared in his eyes.
Fu Chen wondered if he could use this chance to watch Bai Xi Xi’s basketball skills and perhaps learn a thing or two from her.
