Xiong Kaizong and Wei Wuxiang are both old acquaintances of Qin Ke and often play basketball together.

When they were freshmen last year, they could only play in the basketball interest association due to seniority issues. However, starting from the second semester of their freshman year, due to their outstanding performance, they gradually had the opportunity to participate in the training and competition of the school basketball team. By this year, they were promoted to sophomores.

Both became official members of the school basketball team and often appeared in the lineup.

Qin Ke stood up and greeted him: "Old Xiong, Old Wei, don't you have a game tomorrow? Why do you have time to come to me?"

Although Qin Ke was invited to join the school basketball team when he was a freshman, he only participated in training and rarely participated in the school team's competitions, because the college basketball league is held every year, and the basketball teams of Qingmu University are also considered to be some of the strongest teams in the country.

One, he can win the championship from time to time, so he will participate in the grassroots competition, regional competition, national competition (the top 32 national competitions), the quarter-finals, the semi-finals and the finals. It can be said that there are constant competitions, often during class time.

How can Qin Ke have so much time to participate in the competition?

Moreover, Qin Ke knows that with his own strength and prestige, once he participates in a formal game, he will easily overshadow the captain and affect the captain's authority, which will have a negative impact on the school basketball team, so he generally does not participate in formal games.

He has been joining the school basketball team for more than a year. He only participated in two games as a forward during the summer vacation in the first two months because captain Wang Jian was injured and an important forward was missing.

Xiong Kaizong sighed and said with a grimace: "Brother Ke, don't mention it. You also know that Team Wang has officially withdrawn from the school team a few days ago due to the difficulty in recovering from injuries. Currently, Qiao Xiangdong is temporarily serving as captain. But today

Captain Qiao received a call from home. His family had an accident and he had to rush back. Tomorrow is the finals of the CUBA Secondary League, which affects whether he can qualify for the divisional round. Team Qiao is not here either. Hey... so Coach Wu is here.

Let us ask you if you can temporarily take over the position of captain, at least survive tomorrow's grassroots finals and win the right to qualify."

Wei Wuxiang, who was next to him, also persuaded: "Brother Ke, neither Team Wang nor Team Qiao are here now. We are all convinced that you will be the captain. And Lao Xiong and I are the least qualified. If someone else becomes the captain, we may not know who will be the captain tomorrow."

You can’t even make it to the top. You also know our skills. After studying with you for so long, you are still not even a little bit worse than other team members..."

Qin Ke understood as soon as he heard it. The most qualified people in the school team were Wang Jian and Qiao Xiangdong. The rest of the team members were dissatisfied with each other, and they could easily become scattered. That's why Coach Wu thought of him, Qin Ke.

After all, Qin Ke's prestige and skills are there. If he serves as the temporary captain, basically the rest of the team will have no objections.

As for Coach Wu, he did not come to invite him in person, but instead hired Xiong Kaizong and Wei Wuxiang, who had the best relationship with Qin Ke, as lobbyists. Naturally, he also spent some thought. Knowing that Qin Ke was very affectionate, two good friends came forward to come forward.

Far better than his appearance as a coach.

Qin Ke checked his schedule. Tomorrow happened to be Saturday. He originally planned to make an appointment with Ning Qingyun and drop by the Lime Plant Breeding Laboratory to guide the desert sweet potato project. However, seeing the pitiful looks of Wei Wuxiang and Xiong Kaizong,

Finally he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go join in the fun tomorrow."

Xiong Kaizong and Wei Wuxiang were overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Ning Qingyun next to them: "Sister-in-law, Brother Ke will lend us a loan and we will return it tomorrow." They pulled Qin Ke out of the classroom:

"Brother Ke, come and join our evening training first. Everyone needs to be proficient in your command."

Qin Ke was helpless. He originally wanted to finish the last elective class of the afternoon with Ning Qingyun, but now he had no choice but to turn around and cast an apologetic look at Ning Qingyun.

Ning Qingyun smiled softly and said it didn't matter, but a thought came to her mind. After Qin Ke walked away, she stood up and said to her three roommates, including Gu Yanfei and others: "Yanfei, Jianan, Xiaohui, do you want to stay together tonight?"

go shopping?"

Ning Qingyun rarely offered to go shopping, which surprised Gu Yanfei and other girls. However, tonight was Friday night, and the girls were still happy to go shopping, so they all responded positively.

…

Qin Ke played basketball for a full hour and a half. He was familiar with the cooperation with the school team members before, and he was also used to commanding the court. He quickly became familiar with the new role of temporary captain.

Qin Ke returned to the sidelines to rest. The surrounding audience and substitute players all gave him warm applause for his superb skills. However, without the pretty single ponytail figure who always smiled and handed over towels, Qin Ke always felt that

It's a little less meaningful.

He took out a towel from his bag and wiped his sweat, then took the drink handed to him by the substitutes on the sidelines and drank it all in one gulp. Qin Ke felt more unaccustomed to it.

If Ning Qingyun was here, he would definitely prepare warm water for him, because Ning Qingyun always believed that drinking cold drinks after exercise is not good for the stomach.

"That girl, I wonder how shopping is going?" Qin Ke thought to himself.

Ning Qingyun had sent a message before, explaining that she and her roommate were going shopping together. Qin Ke was very supportive of her outings. The most effective way to enhance friendship between girls is to go shopping and gossip together.

But... as expected, I still won't get used to not having her around.

Qin Ke took out his cell phone and looked at it. He saw that the last message from Ning Qingyun was half an hour ago, saying that she and her roommates took a taxi to a certain shopping mall and started shopping. She expected to come back around nine o'clock in the evening and asked Qin Ke to

You don't have to wait for her to have dinner.

Qin Ke simply invited the coach and all the team members of the school team to have a sumptuous dinner outside to enhance their relationship and improve their tacit understanding.

It was already 8:30 in the evening when the dinner party ended. Everyone went back to school together, made an appointment with the bus time and place for the game tomorrow, and then went back to their dormitories.

On the way back to his dormitory, Qin Ke found that the temperature had dropped again, and autumn rain began to fall.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! One autumn rain and another cold. The temperature in Beijing in early November has dropped to single digits, and it is even colder on such rainy nights.

Qin Ke checked the weather APP on his mobile phone. It was only about 3 degrees Celsius at this time. The moist night wind brought a biting chill, which went straight into his collar, making Qin Ke, who had always been strong, feel a little cold.

No.

By the way, did Xiao Baicai bring an umbrella when she went shopping? Did she wear enough clothes? Did she wear a scarf?

She has always been afraid of the cold, and her body is relatively delicate, so don't freeze.

The more Qin Ke thought about it, the more worried he became. He had already run back downstairs to his dormitory in the rain, but instead of going in, he called Ning Qingyun directly.

It took a while before the call was connected.

"Qin Xiaoke, are you looking for me? We are still in the mall and may come back later."

Hearing Ning Qingyun's familiar voice, the emptiness in Qin Ke's heart was miraculously filled with warmth.

"It's raining outside, did you bring an umbrella?"

"Is it raining? We didn't notice it in the mall. We didn't even bring umbrellas, but don't worry, we'll take a taxi back later."

"Did you bring a scarf?"

"Scarf? No, what's wrong?"

"It's getting cooler outside, much colder than during the day. You continue shopping, I'll drive over to pick you up and wait in the underground garage."

"No need to trouble you, we'll take a taxi ourselves..."

"No, I'm not worried. It's so cold and rainy at night. What should you do if you freeze while taking a taxi on the roadside? That's it. You go shopping slowly. After shopping, call me. I'll pick you up from the underground parking lot.

You." Qin Ke couldn't help but made a strong decision.

"I know... overbearing."

Although he made the "overbearing" comment, the sweet voice of the girl on the other end of the phone made Qin Ke smile softly.

Sure enough, girls will always like such gentle domination.

And Qin Ke really wants to see his little cabbage as soon as possible.

Qin Ke checked the navigation on his mobile phone and found that it took almost forty minutes to drive from the school to the shopping mall where Ning Qingyun was located. Especially at night, there was a lot of traffic jams. It might take even longer. He didn't bother to go back to the dormitory to get it.

I took out my umbrella and rushed directly into the rain curtain, running towards the parking lot.

His car was usually parked in the staff parking lot two to three hundred meters away from the boys' dormitory. It was not raining heavily at this time. Qin Ke ran over at full speed, opened the door and got in, drying his hair with the paper towels in the car.

, then started the car and drove into the dark night.

He drove his new energy car near the shopping mall and used the smart parking app to reserve parking. After checking, he found that the parking lot of the shopping mall was already full, and the navigation display was dark red, which was extremely congested. Qin Ke made a quick decision, saw the opportunity, and parked the car.

The car parked in a parking lot a little further away.

He took out a warm jacket for Ning Qingyun from the back seat and wrapped it in a bag. After getting out of the car, he went to the convenience store next to him and bought some umbrellas. Then he held the umbrella while walking on the wet ground.

shopping mall.

After walking for about five minutes, we arrived at the entrance of the shopping mall.

Qin Ke had gone to watch a movie with Ning Qingyun in this shopping mall, so he was familiar with it. It was a relatively large shopping mall in Beijing.

The road in front of the shopping mall had long been blocked. They were probably here to pick up people. Qin Ke secretly thought it was a fluke. If he had also driven here, he would have been blocked at the entrance to the parking lot for more than half an hour.

He sent a message to Ning Qingyun to inform him of the latest situation of waiting at the south gate of the mall. Ning Qingyun said that he would come out immediately. Qin Ke did not enter the mall and went to the convenience store next to him to buy four cups of hot drinks.

I found a corner sheltered from the wind and waited for Ning Qingyun.

People were coming and going at the entrance of the shopping mall. Qin Ke was looking around in the corner. Thinking that he would see Ning Qingyun soon, he felt a little excited. He had been staying together from morning to night tomorrow, but after not seeing him for a long time, Qin Ke felt

It feels like I haven’t seen you for a long time.

Looking at the rain falling all over the sky, Qin Ke's eyes suddenly flashed back to the past.

On the eve of the provincial Mathematical Olympiad in his sophomore year of high school, it was the same autumn rainy night. He pulled Ning Qingyun and ran through the rainy night. The girl was wearing his loose school uniform, and her long single ponytail was swaying in the wind, and the night wind was like a knife.

As cold as ice, her little hands were so warm and soft.

Qin Ke didn't know how Ning Qingyun was feeling at that time, but for Qin Ke, the thrill of first love was so sweet that he would never forget it.

The raindrops pattered on the umbrella, and he pulled Ning Qingyun to speed up his pace, and then it seemed that he had rushed to today three years later.

Ning Qingyun has gone from the cold and unfamiliar school committee member to the most important girl who fills every corner of his life...

Qin Ke was just thinking when he saw the figure of a girl with a single ponytail who was so pretty and incomparable.

She was holding a bag in her hand, and there were three roommates and countless passers-by beside her, but Qin Ke only saw her in his eyes.

Looking at the girl with a single ponytail approaching, Qin Ke had countless thoughts in his heart, but he didn't know how to express them, so he simply walked over quickly, shook off the coat in his hand, and put it on Ning Qingyun.

"Put it on quickly, it's cooling down, don't freeze."

Three girls' cries of envy came from the side. Ning Qingyun's face was blushing, but her eyes were soft and sweet.

"Brother Ke, can you please stop being so considerate? We are all going to die from pain. It's so irritating that people are so different from each other. Don't expect that wooden guy in my family to be so gentle and considerate in his life." Gu Yanfei gritted her teeth and said.
