Chapter 421 Extra: Secret Love Is a Beautiful Little Thing (3)

I never told her about the application list until she called me on the first day of school to ask, and I told her the truth.

She was very angry. I have never seen Bei Xiaoshi so angry.

Suddenly I felt as if I had hurt her unknowingly.

I will always remember the last words she said to me -

"Xu Jiyuan, you bastard, you selfish ghost! How can you be so sure that you think it's impossible for me to go to Civil and Military No. 3 Middle School?"

After saying this, she hung up the phone, and we lost all contact during the following summer vacation.

I knew that the reason she was angry was not because I went to Wenwu No. 3 Middle School, but because I didn't tell her in advance.

She felt that she had become unimportant...

But I just don't want her to worry.

That day, I stood at the door of Wenwu No. 3 Middle School, and the sun was shining brightly above my head.

But I feel that the warmth of the sun is not as good as her smile.

I always wanted to explain to her, but never had the chance.

Until the college basketball competition, we met again. I didn't know she would come, but with such expectation, I couldn't sleep for a whole night.

She is still as cute as before. It's just that there is a touch of indifference in his eyes.

I told myself that I must win this basketball game. I want her to see me again, shining brightly.

However, Huaimeng No. 1 Middle School broke out a dark horse this time - Ye Zhijin.

His offense and defense are on par with mine. The only scary thing is that his three-pointers are almost abnormally accurate.

Because of this, even if the overall strength of their team is different from ours, the score is still very tight.

In the second half, I changed my strategy and asked people to focus on Ye Zhijin.

But he never thought that he could still make beautiful three-pointers without attacking.

I was a little anxious, and so were my teammates.

They even used shady means to make Ye Zhijin fall.

I was very angry. Regarding the competition, winning must be fair and honest, and losing must be done with a clear conscience.

In the last fifty seconds on the court, I held my breath and looked at my strongest opponent, Ye Zhijin, and made final preparations.

I can lose countless basketball games in my life, but I can never lose this one.

And at the next moment, I noticed that Ye Zhijin was looking at the family and friends table next to him.

I followed his gaze and found the shaky light tube above Bei Xiaoshi's head.

Ye Zhijin almost didn't think about it, threw the basketball and ran towards the direction where the light tube fell.

but me--

I couldn't see the basketball flying in front of me.

At that moment, I only had her in my eyes. Suddenly, the game is no longer so important, winning or losing becomes so indifferent.

As long as she's okay, that's fine.

I'm glad I protected her. That should be the time when I felt most handsome in my life.

-

postscript--

Later, I quietly applied for the same university as her. She was surprised when she saw me, but she showed a warm smile the next second.

I like this smile. From the first moment I saw her, she had such a smile on her face.

I hope I can spend the rest of my life guarding this smile so that it will always exist on her face.

I will use all the time in the future to make up for the regrets I have suffered during the three years of high school!

From now on, wherever she is, I will be there.

Secret love is a beautiful little thing, and I spend my whole life doing it.
