Just right

Chapter 74

"Ah, ask me?"

When Li Zihao said this, Zhang Zhen vaguely remembered his brief slip of the tongue last night, screaming bad food in his heart, pretending to be stupid, "Ask me what..."

"What happened to Xiang Zheng and I in high school? Every time you talk about it, your emotions are not right." Li Zihao saw his embarrassed face and blocked the way he wanted to hide, "Don't say you don't know, what's going on here?" There must be something."

"This...I..." Zhang Zhen pretended to be stupid and looked embarrassed, wishing he could jump out of the car and run away now, it's a grand banquet tonight.

Zhang Zhen struggled in silence for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, "Okay, let me say."

Li Zihao took a deep breath, the tension and excitement before the unknown mystery was about to be solved made him straighten his back secretly, hold the steering wheel tightly, fine beads of sweat emerged from his palms.

"I don't know how much you remember, and I don't know why you suddenly disappeared before the college entrance examination. I only know that after you disappeared suddenly, Mr. Xiang was like a lost soul every day. In the first few days, he skipped classes every day. I went to wait at your door, and I waited all night, no one persuaded me. Then one day he suddenly stopped going, and we all asked him what was wrong, and he only said one sentence after tossing and turning like a fool."

Seeing him pause, Li Zihao couldn't help asking, "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Zhen turned his head and glanced at him with deep eyes, "He's gone."

Li Zihao's heart skipped a beat, these three words hit his heart like a heavy hammer, making it painful for him to even breathe.

Li Zihao didn't even dare to think about how much pain Xiang Zheng had when he said this, whether it was the same pain as his own, or more painful than him.

"At first we didn't believe that you really left, but after that you really didn't show up again. Xiang Zheng lay at home for a whole week, and he didn't take the second model test. In the end, Xu Mingyuan dragged him here. But if others are sitting in the classroom, their hearts may have already flown away with you."

Zhang Zhen, who was caught up in the memories, seemed very serious, "I was at the same table with him when I first entered high school. He used to sleep in class and mess around after class, but he was very energetic, like a little sun, but at that time he was just a Xiao Yuan said that it was because his heart was empty."

At some point, Li Zihao's eyes were blurred. He slowed down the car and drove forward on the road. There seemed to be something blocked in his throat, and his voice was harsh and unpleasant, "Then why didn't he continue to play basketball after that?"

It’s okay not to mention this, but Zhang Zhen’s whole body trembled when it was mentioned here, and his voice raised unconsciously, “Basketball?! Don’t mention basketball in front of him!”

Li Zihao startled him, "What, what's wrong?"

After Zhang Zhenhao let out a groan, he immediately realized that he was in a bad mood, "Sorry, I remembered something."

How could he not detect such huge emotional changes as keenly as Li Zihao?He tried his best to guide Zhang Zhen and let him tell what happened back then.

"Xiang Zheng..."

"He can't play basketball anymore." Zhang Zhen still couldn't hold back, and took the initiative to say it.

Li Zihao didn't understand for a moment, "What do you mean you can't?"

"It's just that he was injured and can no longer play basketball." Zhang Zhen lowered his voice, "Just like Ma Houer."

Li Zihao suddenly slammed on the brakes, only to hear a loud friction sound from the tires and the ground, both of them fell forward due to inertia, but they were pulled back by the safety belt and hit the back of the seat.

"Li Zihao, you..." Zhang Zhen almost bit his tongue, and now he was leaning on the seat in shock.

he is injured……

Can't play basketball anymore...

These were hovering in Li Zihao's head. At this moment, his ears were buzzing mixed with the sound of heavy breathing. His heart seemed to be tightly held by a big hand, as if the oxygen around him was getting thinner and thinner, and he could hardly breathe. I'm angry.

Zhang Zhen was frightened by his appearance, and was at a loss, "Chestnut, chestnut cake, what's wrong with you, don't scare me, breathe, breathe!"

Li Zihao couldn't hear what he was saying at all, his ears seemed to be separated by a thick layer of membrane, he tried his best to breathe with his mouth wide open, desperately trying to absorb more oxygen, but it was completely useless, at that moment he thought I am going to die.

I don't know how long it took, until Li Zihao thought he was really going to be so suffocated, he gradually calmed down. He leaned slumped on the back of the chair, his head covered in sweat.

Zhang Zhen was terrified at this moment. He was originally a timid person who would be confused when encountering something. Seeing Li Zihao suddenly in front of him like this, he really didn't know what to do. Crying, "You, you... are you okay, what happened all of a sudden."

As if his life was half gone, Li Zihao was struggling to speak now, he slowly shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and pointed to the back, "Water..."

"Ah? Oh!" Zhang Zhen hurried to the back seat to get a bottle of water. When he unscrewed the bottle cap, he spilled his hands on his pants. "Here."

Li Zihao gulped down most of the bottle for himself and forcibly suppressed it, "How...how did he get injured?"

When the voice came out, even he was startled. Zhang Zhen was slow but he was not stupid. He was scared to death by Li Zihao's reaction after he finished speaking just now, and he was asked to explain in detail. After Li Zihao listened going to the hospital...

"You..." Zhang Zhen looked at him cautiously, "It's better not to say anything."

Li Zihao was still panting, but his voice was extremely firm, "Say it."

Zhang Zhen was stunned by his tone, "Well, the school basketball team has some important games to play before graduation, and there will be coaches from the provincial or national team to watch and select talents from them. If they are good enough, they will be taken away and cultivated directly, and those basketball students will work hard even if they try their best."

"Xiao Yuan told me that there are actually only one or two students with real potential in each class of our school, and most of them are just dawdlers, who are not up to the professional level in terms of height or skills, but Xiang Zheng is not , although his height advantage is not obvious, but other aspects can make up for it, and Ma Houer also has high hopes for him, saying that Xiang Zheng is very similar to him back then."

"Oh, Ma Houer is his high school men's basketball coach." Zhang Zhen mentioned Ma Houer twice before realizing that Li Zihao lost his memory and might not remember who Ma Houer was. He explained it and continued, "Then The first game was after Xiang Zheng came back to class, he was not in a good state of mind and was always absent-minded, but that game was very important and related to his future future, so Ma Houer let him play after careful consideration."

"I went to watch that game. Xiang Zheng played well at the beginning. We were all relieved, but just before the end, he suddenly lost his mind for some reason. Xu Mingyuan yelled for him to hide. But he didn't hear it at all, and was knocked down by the opponent's dunk with the ball."

"We didn't see it clearly at the time, but later Xiao Yuan said that he heard a click, and Xiang Zheng..."

Li Zihao's heart tightened, and he heard Zhang Zhen say, "The left wrist is broken."

"Although he recovered well later, the doctor said that his normal life was fine, but he couldn't play basketball." Zhang Zhen asked Li Zihao in a low voice, "Do you remember that he is left-handed?"

Li Zihao was taken aback, left-handed?

Xiang Zheng is left-handed?

"It seems that you don't know yet." Zhang Zhen shrugged, "When I was sitting at the same table, he kept touching my arm when writing. His right hand may not be as flexible as his left hand. Later, after his left hand recovered, he couldn't overuse it. You can't lift too heavy things, he just uses his right hand for everything, so you didn't notice it."

"At that time, after Xiang Zheng's operation, a coach came to see him in the ward. He was optimistic about Xiang Zheng at first, but after listening to the doctor's words and comforting Xiang Zheng, he shook his head and left. Xiao Yuan said that Ma Houer sent him away. Then I cried outside the ward." Zhang Zhen sighed, "Ma Hou'er was in the second national team back then, and he had to give up basketball because of an injury. I didn't expect his favorite Xiang Zheng to also..."

"Xiang Zheng didn't come to class after he came out of the hospital, and he didn't take the college entrance examination, so he went abroad." Zhang Zhen recalled that time, "He left very suddenly, and he didn't say goodbye to my brothers properly. I haven't contacted us much, I didn't expect him to become a model when he came back."

Maybe it was because he wanted to escape from this place. The severe pain and despair that caused the wings of his dreams to be broken by reality, Li Zihao didn’t dare to think about how Xiang Zheng lived those days, how he survived, how he managed to see himself Can you still laugh at yourself afterwards?

Li Zihao felt that it was difficult to breathe again. Why did he suddenly leave? Xiang Zheng's wings were broken, preventing him from flying in the sky of his dreams.

Kobe, it used to be Xiang Zheng's dream, the legend who has dominated the NBA for [-] years, Xiang Zheng also dreamed of becoming a person like him one day when he was young, even if he was a little closer to him.

But now, as a spectator, he can only witness the curtain call of a legend with his own eyes. Li Zihao covered his face, how cruel it was.

Xiang Zheng asked him to watch the curtain call match last night, in the eyes of Li Zihao now, this is tantamount to stabbing his heart with his enemy's hand.

The two of them couldn't taste the taste of the meal. In the end, Li Zihao drove Zhang Zhen home. Before Zhang Zhenlin got off the car downstairs, Li Zihao suddenly stopped him, "Zhang Zhen."

"Ah, what?"

"If you were him..." Li Zihao's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of hearing the answer, "would you hate me?"

Xiang Zheng, do you hate me?

I hurt you like this, but I forgot all about it.

Zhang Zhen was taken aback, "Yes..."

Li Zihao's heart sank.

"But compared to love, what is that bit of hatred?" Zhang Zhen smiled, stretched out his hand and pressed on Li Zihao's shoulder, "I can tell that his love for you has never changed .”

After finishing speaking, he got out of the car and walked towards the corridor. Li Zihao came back to his senses and looked out, only to see Xiao Yuan standing in the shadow. Zhang Zhen walked over and the two held hands, turned around, laughed and disappeared together. In the darkness, the lights in the corridor were lit up layer by layer.

Li Zihao suddenly turned around and drove out of the community as if flying out of the community. He stepped on the accelerator and galloped in the night. He wanted to see Xiang Zheng very much at this moment, very much.

……

Xiang Zheng received a call from Li Zihao in the afternoon saying that he was going home late at night. He didn't ask Li Zihao where he was going and who he was going to see, but only told him to be careful on the road and go home early.

Li Zihao hadn't come back after the announcement, Xiang Zheng came out of the shower, went into the kitchen and began to study how to make soup.

He found that Li Zihao took care of everything in an orderly manner. The things in the refrigerator were divided and stacked neatly according to their portions. The pots and pans in the cabinet were clearly visible, and the seasonings were clearly labeled one by one. Xiang Zheng found the recipe Afterwards, the soup went smoothly.

Standing in the kitchen, he looked at the steaming soup pot on the gas, the neat and clean kitchen utensils, and his heart felt warm.They are all people who don't start fire, and Li Zihao is even more lazy, but he is willing to wash his hands and make soup for him. What else can this be except love.

Xiang Zheng imitated Li Zihao's usual appearance with a smile on his face, opened the lid and scooped a spoonful to taste the saltiness, it seemed a little salty, and was about to add some salt, when the door was pushed open suddenly, Xiang Zheng subconsciously shouted, " Baby, you go back..."

He was interrupted by Li Zihao who pounced on him in the middle of his speech. Li Zihao hugged Xiang Zheng's neck tightly, hanging on his body, and kept calling him as if he wanted to confirm something, "Xiang Zheng , Xiang Zheng, Xiang Zheng..."

"Hey, I'm here." Xiang Zheng put the soup spoon on the table with his backhand, freed his hand to hug Li Zihao, and took advantage of the situation to lift him up, "What's wrong today, so enthusiastic and proactive?"

Li Zihao didn't speak, but responded to him with a more passionate and lingering kiss.

The author has something to say: Zhang Zhen, the little fool, is right. Compared with love, that bit of hatred is nothing.
