Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 55 Drink while it’s hot

Li Xu touched his pocket and found a lollipop in it... to be more precise, a lollipop, a round candy in a sweet color.

He bought this candy when he was shopping in the supermarket this morning. He was too lazy to make a change, so he just picked it up as change. He put it in his pocket and forgot about it. When he saw An Duoduo, he remembered the snow cake she gave him not long ago.

Li Xu had just taken out the lollipop and some other random things from his pocket and held them in his hand when he heard a voice: "Catch the ball!"

He was startled and raised his head hurriedly, then saw the basketball flying towards him. He subconsciously tried to catch it, and the thing in his hand fell to the ground.

An Duoduo was stunned for a moment, then she quickly trotted over to him and bent down to pick it up.

There weren't many things in it, just a lighter, a piece of chewing gum... and that lollipop.

"You're so old, and you still like to eat this kind of children's candy?" An Duoduo asked while picking up things.

Li Xu was immediately choked by these words. He coughed and said, "Uh, I was planning to give it to you..."

"Wow, that's great! This kind of lollipop is my favorite!"

The corner of Li Xu's mouth twitched slightly.

An Duoduo happily put the lollipop into her pocket without any hesitation.

Then they both looked towards the basketball court. Li Xu watched them play for a while, not really understanding the level of the players on the court, but it looked quite intense. He turned his head and looked at An Duoduo: "Why, they don't want to play with you?"

An Duoduo shook her head: "Well, the number of people exceeds the limit."

It's a 3-on-3 situation on the court, and there are no other students who want to play basketball nearby.

Li Xu’s idea was that if the three stronger ones faced the three weaker ones plus An Duoduo, forming a 3 vs. 4 situation, wouldn’t it be balanced?

A girl's role on the court is probably better than nothing, right?
Of course, this thought was not expressed out loud.

The two watched for a while, then An Duoduo turned her head to look at Li Xu and suddenly said, "You can't play basketball, right?"

"Well, I haven't played it much..."

"Absolutely not?"

"Ha... almost!"

"Then let's go over there and practice for a while, and then find a classmate to join the group."

"Oh, okay..."

"Come, give me a hug." An Duoduo suddenly said.

Li Xu was shocked... This was too sudden, and in public... Then he looked down at An Duoduo, and she handed him the basketball.

It turned out to be a false alarm. An Duoduo meant that she should hold the basketball.

Li Xu calmly took the basketball and weighed it in his hand. It was rare to find a girl who could play basketball...

It seems that An Duoduo is not good at basketball, right?

In the moment when Li Xu was in a daze, An Duoduo had quickly taken off her school uniform, tied it around her waist, and rolled up her sleeves loosely. The lines of her arms were soft and neat. The slim-fitting solid-color base shirt fit her figure perfectly, highlighting her slender waist. The cuffs of her sweatpants were gathered neatly, making her straight and slender legs even more eye-catching.

Her face was facing the light, her skin was radiant with a delicate sheen, her eyes were bright and lively: "Let's go."

Li Xu blinked: "Oh, okay."

Li Xu has never played ball, but that doesn’t mean he is bad at sports.

On the contrary, his physical fitness has always been very good. In terms of talent, he should be a sports student. Even if he starts training now, he will probably have made some achievements by the time he is in his third year of high school.

In terms of body shape, his height has now reached about 180 cm... In his previous life, he grew to 1 or 83 meters, which was the type of person who developed relatively early.

Compared with his peers, he is obviously much stronger.

In addition, his arms are long and his palms are big. The basketball seems to have become much smaller in his hands, and he can easily grab it with one hand.

Although he had never played basketball much, more than one person said that he was actually very suitable for it. Perhaps it was because of his rebellious nature that many people asked him questions like "Why don't you play basketball with your conditions?", which made him even less willing to play basketball.

His idea was, why should I play basketball if I have the conditions to play basketball.

In this regard, in his previous life, he said something to someone that he thought was very impressive: "I, Li Xu, cannot be defined."

Now that I think about it, it’s true, a little… hehe.

My previous life was just muddled, and naturally I won't be so childishly resistant to this matter in this life. There's nothing wrong with playing basketball and sweating.

However, I also know that I started to learn this thing too late. I guess I won’t be able to learn anything if I start now. I can just run and jump and sweat a little.

Li Xu and An Duoduo walked to an empty basketball hoop nearby. Li Xu asked curiously, "Where do I start? Shooting? Layups? Or... dribbling?"

An Duoduo shook her head: "Let's practice defense."

"This is very simple, do you still need to learn it?"

"Hehe, then you give it a try. Come, defend me."

"Uh……"

Li Xu was just about to ask, "What's the difficulty in defending you?", but he didn't expect An Duoduo, who was standing outside the three-point line, to suddenly accelerate and pass him cleanly and nimbly.

"This one doesn't count. Let's do it again..."

A few minutes later.

The sun was high in the sky, scorching the grounds. Li Xu, who had been so graceful just a moment ago, now had beads of sweat on his forehead, and a look of disbelief in his eyes...

For the last ball, An Duoduo stood calmly, took a deep breath, bent her knees, jumped, and shot. The basketball flew out with the sound of the wind, hovered in the air for a moment, and fell into the basket neatly.

Then An Duoduo picked up the basketball and gestured to teach Li Xu how to defend, intercept and block shots.

"You have very good conditions. You have long arms. When you move, you can use more straight steps and fewer cross steps... Later when we go on the court, you will focus on defense. Let's do it again. When I make a layup, look, you defend like this..." An Duoduo taught Li Xu very patiently, and then prepared to do it again.

This time, An Duoduo used her skillful ball control skills to pass Li Xu again, but at this time Li Xu seemed to have gradually figured out the trick. When An Duoduo turned around, he subconsciously turned his hips and actually kept up with An Duoduo's footsteps.

An Duoduo was stunned. She didn't expect Li Xu to learn so quickly, but she couldn't stop. She made a layup with her left hand and Li Xu jumped up too.

In an instant, Li Xu stretched his body, raised his arms high, and his broad palms brought up a gust of wind. With a crisp "pa" sound, he accurately and accurately knocked the ball out of An Duoduo's hand.

An Duoduo was unable to stop in time and lost her balance, swaying in the air. Then, with a "bang", she fell to the ground, scraping the skin off her palm.

She sat on the ground, her brows furrowed, a few strands of her ponytail loose, and looked at the place where the skin on her hand was scraped.

"Uh……"

This is the end. Li Xu's face showed an embarrassed expression. What the hell...

Li Xu said with a sincere apology: "I'm sorry, I'll take you to the school doctor to get bandaged!"

"No, it's nothing..." An Duoduo dusted off her pants and stood up. It seemed that the fall had also hit her knee, leaving a clear dust mark on her school uniform leg. "I guess I can't play today..."

"There seems to be a milk tea shop on the corner of the street outside the school. It's pretty good." Li Xu suddenly said without thinking.

When An Duoduo heard this, her eyes lit up immediately: "Really?"

"It's my treat after school."

The atmosphere finally became relaxed.

After school, An Duoduo followed Li Xu. Although it wasn't too cold today, it was winter after all. An Duoduo rolled up her trouser legs above her knees... As expected, the skin there was rubbed a little, and her white knees bled a little. She didn't seem to feel anything, but instead comforted Li Xu, "It's okay, you're a sports student, this is normal..."

Arriving at the milk tea shop Li Xu mentioned, he ordered two cups. While waiting, An Duoduo asked, "Who is that girl?"

"Who?"

"The guy who greeted you in PE class just now, he seems to be a sophomore, right?"

"Uh... did you see that?"

"Ah."

"An unimportant person."

"Oh." An Duoduo smiled: "You don't seem to be the same as the rumors say..."

"Rumors? What do the rumors say about me?"

"Well... that's... a little silly."

"Uh... you think so?"

"No."

Li Xu nodded: "That's right, it's obviously not."

"But, when you blocked the shot just now and I fell down, you looked so helpless and silly..." There was a smile in An Duoduo's eyes, but her tone was serious.

Li Xu took the milk tea and quickly handed it to An Duoduo, "Come on, drink some milk tea, drink more, drink it while it's hot..."
