"What are you thinking about?" he asked, so casually but intimately.

"Where are you taking me?" she asked pretending to be serious.

"Ten years ago."

He answered indifferently but seriously.

Du Rui withdrew her eyes from him and looked out the car window quietly, but she started to mutter in her heart, why do you want to talk so artistically? He thought he had a time shuttle! He went back to ten years ago...

…it's so funny!

Along the way, neither of them spoke, and Du Rui just stared out the window, then closed her eyes and started her habitual "catching up on sleep in the car."

Xia Zixiu only glanced at her occasionally, his eyes focused on the road ahead. The car drove steadily. About half an hour later, his car parked in a parking space on the roadside. In front of him was the gate of Xiangming Private Middle School.

It looks much grander than before, with two huge stone pillars standing on both sides, and the words "Xiangming Private Middle School" across the middle.

His bony hands rested on the steering wheel, and his fingertips gently rubbed the steering wheel. He turned his head and glanced at Du Rui, who was still "catching up on his sleep."

He pursed his thin lips lightly and stepped out of the car in the next second, then closed the door with a bang. Du Rui was suddenly awakened and blinked his eyes. He saw Xia Zixiu in a black shirt leaning on the hood with his hands in his hand.

In his pocket, his legs seemed to be crossed, and he was facing Xiangming Private Middle School.

Du Rui frowned slightly, then got out of the car and walked to Xia Zixiu angrily: "You want to scare someone to death?"

"For you, gentle methods won't work." Xia Zixiu said calmly.

"You said that going back ten years ago, this was what happened -" Before Du Rui could finish his words, Xia Zixiu took his hand and walked towards the school.

Du Rui struggled to break free from his hand: "I know how to go in, so let go!"

Xia Zixiu stopped and looked at her calmly: "You want me to let go?"

"You and I are not relatives, so why are you holding me back?"

"That's right, you and I are neither relatives nor friends. It seems that you won't need my car to see you off when you go back." Xia Zixiu said clearly, and then let go of Du Rui's hand. However, he

As soon as she let him go, she suddenly tightened her grip on him.

"..."

"I'm actually thinking about you. I have a warm body and I'm afraid that my palms will become sweaty and oily, so I won't feel comfortable with you!" Du Rui explained.

Xia Zixiu raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to stride forward: "I don't mind."

Du Rui followed him and couldn't help but roll his eyes one after another.

Looking at one teaching building after another, several years have passed. Not only have there been a few more teaching buildings, but they have also been renovated. Because it is a private aristocratic school, the parents of the children who go to school here are all well-known figures. To put it bluntly,

The point is to have money.

"You also studied here in high school?" Xia Zixiu looked at the changed scene here, and for a moment he couldn't help but sigh, things are different, and even things have become "different" a long time ago.

Du Rui tilted his head: "What?"

"Also, with your attitude and grades, it will be difficult to get into a better high school."

"What did you say?" Du Rui looked at him speechlessly, "What happened to my attitude? What happened to my grades?"

"What do you think?"

"It's pretty good, passable!" Du Rui said matter-of-factly.

"Well, it's passable. If you're just passable, of course you won't be able to get into a better high school." Xia Zixiu emphasized the words "just passable."

Du Rui glared at her fiercely: "What's wrong with going to high school here?"

"It's very good. It couldn't be better for you. You can live your life as casually as you want!" Xia Zixiu praised.

Du Rui heard the obvious sarcasm in his words. He raised his head and looked at the eight o'clock sun. For a moment, he was unable to refute. This man dragged himself out early in the morning just to come to this school. Come to school.

What for? Missing the past?

What a stupid thing...

She, Du Rui, won’t do it!

"This is connected to the small gate of the high school and was sealed off two years ago." Du Rui couldn't help but remind him when he saw Xia Zixiu walking towards the small gate.

"You know very well!" Xia Zixiu said quietly, with a hint of meaning in his words, "Do you come here often?" 13acv.

"...I, I heard it from Jiaqi. Jiaqi came here not long ago."

One was not long ago, the other was two years ago. Xia Zixiu didn't care about the inconsistency between her preface and last words.

There is a small path behind this teaching building. The road is not wide and is shaded by greenery on both sides. It leads directly to a small door. It is the small door connecting the junior high school and the high school. It is also the fastest shortcut from the junior high school to the high school. In the past, Du

Rui runs the most diligent trail.

Nowadays, the small door is gone and replaced by a stone wall covered with ivy. The road is still not wide, but it is a good place to enjoy the cool air.

Xia Zixiu and Du Rui were standing on the path.

The sound of students studying can be heard in the teaching building, which sounds very nostalgic.

When she comes back here, memories will roll back like a tide. She remembers that he left on May 27th ten years ago, and today is May 20th.

It's so ironic that he holds his hand, but she can't stick to her as naturally as he did ten years ago.

"Would you like to visit the high school?"

"Since you're here, it doesn't matter if you go and take a look." Du Rui shrugged, and she let him do whatever he wanted.

Xia Zixiu took her hand and walked around the door into the high school. Then he heard the sound of the basketball on the basketball court in close contact with the ground. The sun was shining brightly at eight o'clock.

"It's so cool to have physical education class early in the morning." Du Rui looked at the group of teenagers playing basketball on the basketball court and couldn't help but sigh. I want to kiss you.

"Want to play a game of basketball with me?" Xia Zixiu asked.

Du Rui looked at him with provocative eyes and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Who is afraid of whom?"

"Wait for me." Xia Zixiu rolled up his sleeves, walked to the basketball court, talked to a few men, then turned back and pointed at Du Rui, who looked away uncomfortably.

Then the ball came to Xia Zixiu's hands.

Xia Zixiu walked up to Du Rui with determination, pointing his index finger upward, and the ball was spinning steadily on his fingertips. Du Rui gritted his teeth and took the ball from his hand with a slap of his palm.

"Really, why are you so cool?"

Xia Zixiu chuckled. When she saw him spinning a ball, she yelled that he was so handsome. Then in order to learn this trick, she always spins a basketball around him, even on weekend dates.

, without taking his hands off the ball.

He laughed at her, "One day your fingers can automatically spin, and the ball will be no longer a problem."

She looked at him with disdain and became more determined. Later, tragedy happened. She took her broken nail and raised her blistered index finger and ran to him, crying and shouting that she would not practice anymore.

She stopped practicing, and pointed at his nose angrily, saying that he was not allowed to spin the ball in front of her and show off!

Finally, he said seriously that spinning the ball with his index finger was a pretentious act. You are my boyfriend and you must not be a dick!

Du Rui walked to an empty basketball court with the ball and stood on the midfield line. She put one hand on her hips and held the ball in the other and raised her head. Although she was at a disadvantage of 17 or 18 centimeters, she still looked full of confidence: "Why?

beat?"

"If you take the ball from me, you win."

"..." Du Rui shrugged and lightly threw the ball towards him. Xia Zixiu skillfully stuck the ball into his palm, and then started dribbling the ball with coherent movements without any unnecessary movements.

Du Rui bent down, half squatting, his eyes moving around, staring closely at the ball in his hand.

Suddenly, Xia Zixiu's steps started to move. The shiny black leather shoes looked a bit awkward on the basketball, but the movement of his steps made people feel dizzy. Du Rui opened her hands, and no matter how Xia Zixiu moved, she just blocked it from left to right.

In front of him, he just waited for an opening and snatched the ball away.

Xia Zixiu was dribbling the ball while staring at Du Rui. Her long hair was black and translucent in the sun.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Rui'er, if I win, what benefits will you give me?"

"You beat me, do you have the nerve to ask for a reward?" Du Rui asked without raising his head, his bright eyes still staring at the ball.

"That's good. If you win, what benefits will you give me?"

Du Rui frowned slightly, thinking about Xia Zixiu's words. If she wins, what benefits will she give him? "I won, what benefits will I give you?"

Xia Zixiu chuckled: "Baoruan, if you win, what benefits will I give you?"

"..."

He turned around, turned from the left, passed through her defense line, and came to the basket. With a leap, he turned around and shot. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then passed the edge of the basket impartially.

--Failed.

The basketball bounced on the cement floor with a "bang" and "bang", and then rolled silently to the corner.

Du Rui gasped, watching him turn around and then walk towards her.

"I lost." Xia Zixiu said, "What reward do you want?"

"You lost on purpose..." she said.

"Didn't you always ask me to lose to you on purpose so that I could give you a reward? Now that I have done so, what do you want?" Xia Zixiu asked matter-of-factly.

Yes, she has been begging him like this.
