Love So Sweet

712 A Special Place

Every day after school, Fu Chen would take his team to the park and the group would practice basketball for an hour or so before they went back home.

Just like Bai Xi Xi had said at the beginning, she did not interfere with the training and continued to sit at the side to watch Fu Chen manage his team. Bai Xi Xi would only give her words when Fu Chen asked for her advice.

Initially, Fu Chen thought that his team might be a little helpless.

Then, Bai Xi Xi suggested that he focus on their teamwork. After practicing a few times, Fu Chen finally saw a lot of improvement. Seeing how the boys were performing well made him feel that they might have the chance to win against the basketball team.

Everyone was shocked when Fu Chen went to meet the teacher in charge to sign up their team. Moreover, they also heard that Fu Chen was planning to have a match with the basketball team.

Yang Xu and his team only laughed when they heard about this matter. None of them expected that Fu Chen would take Bai Xi Xi’s words seriously.

Moreover, it seemed that Bai Xi Xi too will be joining Fu Chen’s team.

“Yang Xu, what do you think about this?” Xia Feng asked. “Fu Chen seemed so serious about joining our basketball team.”

Yang Xu chuckled when he saw the expression on his friend’s face. “What are you worried about? Do you think that Fu Chen’s team would be able to beat us? A group of four boys and a girl?”

.....

Xia Feng was not at ease. “But Fu Chen’s skill was quite good, right?”

Yang Xu’s expression turned darker. “Who said that his skill was good? If he was good, why would he still lose to our team previously?” Yang Xu sneered. “Let’s not forget that when Fu Chen had a match against us previously, his team members were also from the basketball team members. And now, he just picked up a few nobodies to join his team. Do you still think that he would win?”

Xia Feng began to think that what Yang Xu said made sense.

Even with such good members, Fu Chen had lost badly. Now that he had a few people who never played basketball on his team, would he still be able to win?

“Besides, their team might not have a match against us,” Yang Xu spoke.

“What do you mean?”

“Did you forget? There are a few more teams who will join the sport meets.” Yang Xu smiled. “Fu Chen and his team might as well lose early.”

Hearing what Yang Xu said made everyone feel more at ease.

So what if their team had lost to Y City West previously? Fu Chen’s team should be worst than them.

Meanwhile, Fu Chen and his team were practicing hard for one last time before their match tomorrow.

On the basketball court at the park, Fu Chen was seen teaching the boys a few simple moves to defend. Seeing that everyone was doing alright, Fu Chen’s eyes subconsciously went to look after Bai Xi Xi. Then, he found her practicing at the corner, pretending as if she too was a newbie in this sport.

Beside her, Lin Xiao Tong and the other girls were encouraging Bai Xi Xi.

Fu Chen watched Bai Xi Xi for a while and thought that he could see the faint smile on her lips. Bai Xi Xi really looked the happiest when she was playing basketball or whenever she was with her niece and nephews.

Seeing the smile on her face made his heart skip a beat. Then, he was unable to pull his gaze away from her.

A hand landed on his shoulder.

Fu Chen turned around and saw that Yan Li was looking at him.

“What are you looking at?” Yan Li followed Fu Chen’s line of gaze and saw that he was looking at the girls.

“Mmm... I was just checking to see if our class monitor was able to learn the skill well,” Fu Chen came up with nonsense.

Fortunately, Yan Li believed in his words and did not think too much about it.

“Fu Chen, what do you think? Do you think that we can win against the basketball team tomorrow?” Yan Li asked.

Their team has been practicing diligently for a week and Yan Li could feel that everyone’s skills have gotten a lot better. However, he did not know whether they could win against the basketball team.

During this practice, the boys could see that Fu Chen’s skill was quite good and they wanted for him to be able to join the team.

“Everyone has practiced hard and I can see that each of you has made a lot of improvement,” Fu Chen said. “Of course, if we continued to work hard as we did for the past few days, we might win against the basketball team.”

Fu Chen saw that Bai Xi Xi had finished her practice. He walked over in her direction with the boys following him.

As soon as he arrived, Bai Xi Xi held the basketball in her hand and looked at Fu Chen up and down. “Are we done for today?”

“Mmm...” Fu Chen nodded. “Let’s go home early and rest. Tomorrow will be our big game.”

Hearing his words made everyone a little nervous and excited at the same time. Everyone was looking forward to the match.

“Fu Chen, we believe that you can do it,” Lin Xiao Tong said. She glanced at both Su You Lin and Du Yao Yao and smiled. “We will be there to cheer for everyone.”

“It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. The most important thing is that everyone has done their best,” Du Yao Yao pointed out.

Lin Xiao Tong sighed. “I still had a feeling that our team will win.” She turned to Fu Chen and spoke, “Fu Chen, don’t forget. If you win this match and was accepted into the basketball team, you have to treat us to something good.” Her gaze fell on the ice cream shop not too far away from them. “Hmm... how about some ice cream?”

Fu Chen shifted his gaze to Bai Xi Xi. “I can treat you to something good... but can you guys pick up something other than ice cream?”

Lin Xiao Tong thought that Fu Chen might not like ice cream and did not have an issue with it. “Sure. There’s also a delicious milk tea shop nearby our school.”

Bai Xi Xi glanced at Fu Chen inquiringly. She could not help but wonder why Fu Chen did not want to treat them to some ice cream.

Of course, for Fu Chen, had already considered the ice cream shop as a special place for him and Bai Xi Xi. Treating the others to some ice cream at that shop did not feel right for him.
