Zuo Yue did not expect Xu Chengfeng to know how to play basketball. She did not expect him to be so handsome even after he casually bounced the ball twice. She could almost see a teenager who ran on the court ten years ago. She could almost see a former Ken.
However, that feeling only lasted for a moment. Xu Chengfeng smiled faintly and threw the ball to John Junior. The moment John Junior caught the ball, he said calmly,ââNo, Iâm old. Basketball is a sport that happened more than ten years ago.â
Zuo Yue immediately muttered in her heart, twenty-seven years old is considered old? Are you trying to force Grandpa, who is in his seventies or eighties, into the ground?
When his grandfather was in his sixties, he still played basketball and football very often.
When Little John heard Xu Chengfengâs words, he immediately smiled and threw the ball in his direction. Xu Chengfeng caught the ball easily, but his eyes fell on Little John indifferently, with a hint of sizing and a subtle sneer.
âLooking at your movements and posture, even if you havenât played basketball for ten years, youâre probably still a martial artist. Do you want to play a few rounds together?âJohn Juniorâs motor nerves were already burning. Zuo Yue had been sitting beside him and did not get up to play with him. It was not easy for him to meet someone who could play basketball, so he still wanted to play with her.
Xu Chengfeng played with the ball in his hand, but he still stood by the side of the court and did not walk into the court.
He was a little far away from the basketball hoop, but his gaze only swept in the direction of the basketball hoop. He casually made a starting gesture, and Zuo Yue was immediately surprised. The moment he threw the ball in the direction of the basketball hoop, his gaze followed the ball in a beautiful arc in the air.
âBang!â The basketball went in!
This distance! This angle!
Was Xu Chengfeng the God of Ball ten years ago? He actually threw it so accurately?
John Junior was also stunned on the spot. After a long time, he came back to his senses and his eyes were filled with admiration for Xu Chengfeng.âOh my god!â
Xu Chengfeng did not take Little Johnâs gaze seriously. After he noticed Zuo Yueâs gaze, he turned his eyes and glanced at her indifferently. He ignored Little Johnâs existence and walked straight towards her.
When Xu Chengfeng approached, he could hear his own heartbeat, like a drum, until he stood in front of himself, she was even more at a loss for a moment, he could only be so stiff, looking at him, good for a long time, he could only squeeze out a very stiff sentence from his mouth: âUncle, youâre so handsome when you play basketballâ¦â
Xu Chengfeng, however, did not mind. He only glanced at her indifferently, then glanced sideways at John Junior from the corner of his eye. It was as if he was asking her with his eyes, what was her relationship with that kid?
Zuo Yue roughly understood his gaze and quickly explained,ââHeâs John Junior, Uncle Johnâs son. Uncle Johnâs family will be visiting Grandpa at the Xu family today. My mother should have mentioned it to you, right?â
Xu Chengfeng did not answer her. He merely glanced at her, who had specially dressed herself up today. With one hand in his trouser pocket, he stood in front of her without saying a word or leaving.
Zuo Yue could only see the clouds in the distant mountains in his dark eyes, but she did not know what he was thinking. She only instinctively thought about what he had said last night. Perhaps if there was something ambiguous between her and John Junior, Uncle would feel that her thoughts were not on him. Perhaps he would be more relieved and would not think that she was causing him trouble.
Hence, she only blinked for a moment before smiling and saying,ââMy mom wants me to get to know John Jr. better.â
Xu Chengfeng looked at her and raised his eyebrows.âHow familiar?â
âYeah, Iâve always liked John Junior. He went to England to study, and now that heâs back, my mother probably thinks that Iâm already 18 years old and should have a boyfriend by my side, so she specially asked me to get closer to John Junior.â
Zuo Yueâs words were more or less deliberate. Before Xu Chengfeng could say anything, John Junior walked over while spinning the basketball on his fingertips. He said excitedly,ââZuo Yue, who is this gentleman? Could it be that your grandfather hired a private basketball coach from outside? If he played so well, he should be a coach, right?â
Zuo Yueâs mouth twitched, and she immediately glanced at John Junior as if she was looking at an idiot.ââThis is my uncle. Heâs my grandfatherâs biological son, okay?â
âUncle?â John Junior was also surprised.â
âLet me formally introduce you.â In order to break the strange awkwardness in her heart, Zuo Yue avoided Xu Chengfengâs inexplicably deep gaze. She cleared her throat and said,âThis is John Junior. This is my little uncle, Xu Chengfeng.â
Because of Zuo Yueâs way of introduction, Xu Chengfeng still glanced at John Junior politely, but his eyes were calm and indifferent. He did not intend to continue greeting the kid. John Junior said with a surprised look,ââUncle? So it was Zuo Yueâs uncle! Uncle, do you want to play basketball with me? Your basketball skills are too good!â
Hearing John Junior praise and admire her uncle so much, Zuo Yue felt a little proud.
However, Xu Chengfengâs expression was cold because the kid also called him uncle. After John Junior threw the ball into his arms, Xu Chengfeng threw the ball back to him in a refusal and said calmly,ââI havenât touched this thing for many years, so Iâm not very interested.â
Little John was a little disappointed to be rejected so thoroughly, but he still said happily,ââThen how about you give me some guidance from the side?â
Xu Chengfeng did not answer. Zuo Yue felt that it would be really awkward if Little John was left hanging. She quickly raised her hand and pulled Xu Chengfeng to sit on the chair.âAlright, alright, weâll watch you play!â
John Junior could tell that Zuo Yue was helping him ease the awkwardness. He immediately smiled at her again, and Zuo Yue smiled back at him.
Xu Chengfeng saw this scene from such a close distance. His expression did not change, but he coldly pulled the small hand that was still on his arm away.
Zuo Yuegeng suddenly moved backward because of the force in her hands. She sat down next to Xu Chengfeng. She was stunned for a moment. She saw that Little John had already started to perform his shooting again, but in her eyes, she was still thinking about Xu Chengfengâs casual shot from so far away from the court. Such a handsome figure made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Xu Chengfeng was sitting beside her. The chair was very short and the two of them were sitting very close to each other. She only needed to tilt her head slightly to breathe in his scent.
Also, he was wearing an iron-gray suit and a matching windbreaker today. The dark red tie made him look very handsome. When she thought of his posture when he was playing, Zuo Yueâs heart pounded.
