257 An Unfair Match

Zhang Yi Hai stared at the man beside his sister. His expression remained unchanged.

His eyes did not miss the way his sister was looking at the man.

Although he was not too happy with the current situation, Zhang Yi Hai did not embarrass Bai Qi. He stretched his hand and the two of them shook hands.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Li Xue finally heaved in relief. She loved both her brother and Bai Qi. Of course, she did not want to see them both fighting as soon as they met.

“You’re... Uncle Qi Zheng’s student.”

Zhang Yi Hai finally realized that he had seen this man before.

“That’s right.” Bai Qi nodded.

Zhang Yi Hai pursed his lips as he turned to his sister again.

When he heard the news that his sister was dating, Zhang Yi Hai thought that his sister was seeing Mu Zhen Yu. But now that the man was someone else, Zhang Yi Hai was unable to react quickly to this news.

.....

He realized that the reason his sister had asked him to play basketball outside was for this reason.

“How did the two of you get together?”

“It’s a long story,” Zhang Li Xue spoke. “Yi Hai, let’s go over and sit down first. Otherwise, we can go out and find a cafe to talk?”

Zhang Yi Hai considered his sister’s suggestion. He glanced at Bai Qi again and finally lowered his gaze. “Then, let’s go and talk somewhere else. It’s more convenient that way.”

Zhang Li Xue exchanged a glance with Bai Qi and smiled.

She was relieved to see that Zhang Yi Hai did not show his dislike toward her boyfriend. Zhang Li Xue wondered if perhaps she has been thinking and worrying too much.

Zhang Yi Hai’s attitude made her lower her guard.

“Sister, we should go and get changed first,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke. “You don’t want to eat feeling all sweaty, do you?”

Zhang Li Xue thought that his brother’s suggestion made sense. She turned to Bai Qi and spoke, “Then, you should wait here for a while. My brother and I are going to get changed first.”

“Un.” Bai Qi nodded. He stretched his hand to pat her hair. “Go ahead.”

Zhang Li Xue bit her lower lips. She wanted to kiss her boyfriend, but with her brother around, Zhang Li Xue knew that she had to keep things low profile.

“I’m going to grab the ball first.” Zhang Yi Hai turned around quickly. From the corner of his eyes, he watched as his sister walked over to the changing room with an unsuspected look on her face.

A faint smile curled on his lips.

For Zhang Yi Hai, it was really easy to trick his sister. This was how he and the triplets had stopped Mu Zhen Yu from being too close to his sister, wasn’t it?

Zhang Yi Hai had deliberately moved slowly. Once his sister was no longer within his eyesight, Zhang Yi Hai turned around and shot the basketball at Bai Qi. His movement was quick and sharp. Ordinary people would find it difficult to catch the ball, especially since Zhang Yi Hai was making a sudden attack.

Unfortunately, Bai Qi was not an ordinary person. Seeing the ball flying in his direction, Bai Qi quickly received the ball with both hands.

His receive was very neat, surprising Zhang Yi Hai.

Once the ball was in his hand, Bai Qi bounced the ball a few times on the floor. His posture showed that he was experienced in this sport.

Zhang Yi Hai narrowed his eyes. Initially, he wanted to bully his sister’s boyfriend a little bit while she was away. He did not expect that his plan would not work.

“You know how to play basketball,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke.

“Yes. I was very active in high school.” Bai Qi passed the ball to Zhang Yi Hai again.

Zhang Yi Hai received the ball easily before continuing to stare at the man in front of him.

If his opponent was Mu Zhen Yu, it would be easy for him to find a way to drive him away. However, Bai QI’s temperament was different than Mu Zhen Yu’s. Zhang Yi Hai realized that he did not know much about this man.

“Then, how about a quick game?” Zhang Yi Hai spoke. “Let’s just play before my sister comes back.”

Bai Qi understood Zhang Yi Hai’s intention quickly. “Alright.” Bai Qi quickly agreed.

Didn’t they say that boys bonded through sport? Perhaps he could use this chance to win Zhang Li Xue’s brother’s approval with his basketball skills.

Bai Qi took off his coat and tossed it to the bench. Then, he followed Zhang Yi Hai to the center of the court. His face turned serious as Zhang Yi Hai started to toss the ball up. With a jump, Bai Qi grabbed the ball and ran to the other side.

...

Zhang Li Xue came out of the bathroom and dried her hair with a towel.

Now that she had introduced her brother to Bai Qi and saw that her brother’s reaction was not as bad as she had imagined put her in a good mood.

Zhang Li Xue looked into the mirror while humming a song. However, her movement halted the moment she heard the sound from the basketball court.

The sound of the shoes screeching and the ball against the floor mixed together. The sound was especially loud with the basketball court being empty except for the three of them.

Zhang Li Xue froze. The sounds alone could tell her that whatever competition was going on outside was quite intense.

She tossed her towel into her gym bag and ran outside.

When she came out, Zhang Li Xue saw that her brother was having a match against Bai Qi.

This was an unfair match as Bai Qi’s shoes and attire were not as appropriate as Zhang Yi Hai’s.

Zhang Li Xue ran over to the bench. She wanted to shout for them to stop. However, seeing the determined look on Bai Qi’s face made her halt. Her heart pounded loudly against her ribcage as she watched the match. She could only wait until one of them score before she could stop them.
