July 6, 2024, Zhonghai City.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the international airport's arrival exit station was full of people coming to pick up the plane, and their faces were filled with expectations for those who had not arrived.

A man with short hair looked particularly eye-catching in the crowd. It seemed that he must have been waiting for an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.

A group of people came down from the escalator inside. Li Kai looked at the head carefully but could not see Zong Zheng’s authentic figure.

Until a man blocked his face, he stared at the face, blinked several times before he spoke: "Yeah, it's quite early."

Zong Zheng smiled and exposes, "You... didn't recognize me just now."

Li Kai pretended not to hear it and continued, "Hey, where is your luggage? That's all?"

"I just need to send it if I feel it's troublesome." He looked up slightly at him and stopped hiding his joyful smile.

In fact, Zong Zheng is not only not short but also very tall, at least much taller than the average height in the city; but he is naturally lower than Li Kai, and his physique is even less agile than professional athletes.

"Then let's go! Let's give you some home food first." Li Kai said very considerately.

Today's traffic is very convenient. The plane is on time and the taxi is not blocked all the way. Even if you encounter a few red lights, you can drive into the city smoothly.

When they arrived at their destination, there were various restaurants on both sides of the road. Zong Zheng had no idea and could only follow Li Kai.

"Authentic, just say whatever you want to eat, don't be polite to me."

"Actually, I'm really casual..." said Zong Zheng.

"Then...Ma Xiao, do you eat it?" Li Kai asked.

Zong Zheng thought for a while and said, "Is spicy crayfish? Don't eat it."

"Bulfrog?"

"No eating..."

"There are also brain flowers here, donkey meat, roast rabbits and rabbits... Didn't you just say it's casual?"

Zong Zheng had nothing to say. If he hadn't had this friend, he wouldn't have known that he had so many things to eat.

"Don't tell me that you usually eat these..."

"I don't eat either, hahaha! Let's go, I'll take you to eat your favorite when I was a child!"

Zong Zheng doubted: What is that?

The two have known each other for twenty years and haven't seen each other for ten years. There are indeed many details that cannot be remembered. It was only after Li Kai's reunion that he suddenly remembered some interesting childhood stories after he had been together for a long time.

For example, their first encounter when they were five years old...

At that time, Li Kai was challenging the bravery in the Youth Palace, and happened to see a few elementary school students surrounding a child. They snatched the toys from the child's hands because they were old and pushed the person to the ground.

After singing with the toy I got for a while, I seemed to feel bored again, so I threw away the toy and left.

When Xiao Kai saw that they were walking away, the child was still sitting on the ground and motionless. Driven by curiosity, he ran over and picked up the discarded puppet.

He looked at the puppet and the child, not understanding why he dressed carefully but was holding such a ragged toy...

"What's your name?" Xiao Kai asked.

The child looked up at him silently, blinking his big eyes, but he just stopped talking.

"I'm asking you!" Xiao Kai was angry and almost threw the puppet out again.

"Zong Zheng is authentic." He replied in a very childish voice.

"Are you... a foreigner?" Xiao Kai scratched his head.

Xiao Zong shook his head and got up from the ground.

Xiao Kai looked at him curiously and found that he was just looking thin, which was actually about the same height as himself; but his skin was very white, with slightly longer mushroom heads, and even his eyelashes were long...

"You can't be a girl, right?" Xiao Kai said loudly as if he had discovered some big baby.

Xiao Zong, who had just been bullied, had no response and suddenly pouted and turned around and left.

When Xiao Kai saw the mud on the back of his shorts, he immediately laughed out loud: "Hahaha, look at your butt!" Seeing that he ignored him, Xiao Kai followed and continued to ask, "Hey, are you alone? Where are your parents!"

Xiaozong then stopped and turned to look at him: "Well... I haven't seen my dad yet. Have you seen him?"

This question made Xiaokai completely confused: Where did he go to see his father?

Since then, the two naughty children have become familiar because they live close to each other and happen to be in the same primary school.

One time and another time.

At this moment, the two people at the dining table were eating Xiaolongbao one by one.

"How is it, does it taste OK?" Li Kai asked.

"Well. This white chop chicken is also good, and there is this soup and this dish."

"Do you still remember how you ate Xiaolong at my house? You only ate the skin, and then you throw the filling under the table for fear of being seen. Later, my mother found out that it was me who did it, but she didn't believe it no matter how I explained it. She insisted that you were cute and would never do this."

"And there is this? Why don't I have any impression of it?" Zong Zheng looked innocent.

"Yes, you were an aunt killer when you were a child. Although when you grew up, everyone found that I was still handsome." Li Kai proudly said it became a fait accompli.

Zong Zheng looked up and thought, indeed, this guy was really popular in middle school, maybe not much worse than himself.

"Haha, you were actually quite funny when you were a child. You always said that you were a man, but in fact, you didn't know how to fight at all. You would be bullied when you went out. When you were beaten and hurt, you would cry and come to find your brother. Hahaha, you didn't know anything except crying when you were a child..."

Zong Zheng held his chin and looked at Li Kai pretending quietly, thinking that he hadn't drunk, so how could he be so serious nonsense? Could it be that this plate of wine vanilla heads' pot?

Li Kai was talking about trains and kept talking about many interesting childhood stories, and most of the themes were based on the embarrassing dark history of Zongzheng.

"You are talking nonsense, they are not like me..." Seeing Li Kai talking in a sensible way, Zong Zheng was half-believing and half-doubted when he heard it.

"I'm not helping you find memories?"

"But we are obviously the same age, why are only you remember so many things?" Zong Zheng was confused.

"Do you still need to ask this? You can't have a brain. If your brain capacity is not enough, it's like this phone."

Zong Zheng nodded in agreement: "It makes sense..." In other words, the brain that lacks knowledge under Li Kai's head did not store much content.

"Oh, we should go to the competition." Li Kai said something serious indifferently.

"Well, where?"

"It's nearby, just take two steps."

He is indeed a well-trained athlete.

Zong Zheng struggled to maintain a walking speed similar to his, but he was too embarrassed to ask people to walk slowly.

The two of them walked for nearly ten minutes and finally arrived at their destination safely. At this time, Zong Zheng didn't care about so much. He supported his knees and gasped in a daze.

Li Kai seemed to have never moved before, and there was no trace of sweat on his face.

He turned around and saw Zong Zheng panting, and couldn't bear to look at him, "Do you usually stay at home?" As he said that, he reached out to get the crumbling box in his hand.

"No...I'm fine."

"You said you were a civil servant, why do you want to be so face?" Li Kai was impatient.

Zong Zheng was unhappy when he heard this. Why didn’t the civil servants feel embarrassed? Just as he wanted to get up to refute a few words, Li Kai slapped on the back and almost vomited blood. He took off his hand and smashed it to the ground...

Li Kai naturally picked up the box on the ground and weighed it, "What's the one that's packing? It looks quite heavy."

"Five kilogram notebook..." Zong Zheng said coldly.

"It's too heavy! You'd better carry it yourself and exercise." Li Kai returned the box to Zong Zheng, who picked it up with an ugly expression.

At this time, the two were located at the main entrance of Dongsheng University. This was a very good private university. The guards were rigorous in management and checked the visitors one by one.

Li Kai took Zong Zheng as a fake college student without any effort.

The building facilities at this university all look very modern and high-end, and there are even a number of expensive supercars parked in the parking lot.

They walked through several lush groves and saw the gymnasium not far away when they came out.

The veteran driver Li Kai was familiar with the journey and met the staff of the gymnasium and entered the infield naturally. They found a position facing the bench, sat down with a great vision, and watched the players enter the court calmly.

Suddenly, the audience started to get restless, and the shouts increased exponentially in an instant!

It turned out that it was the home team's ace player who came on the stage.

This ace, wearing a red No. 5 and a black hairband, looks young like a high school student. He is not tall on the court but is fresh and handsome, and the wonderful fairy spirit emitted by his body makes him look extraordinary.

But this doesn't seem to be the main reason why he is popular.

The competition has begun.

The center of the Blue Team was the first to obtain the ball. After getting the ball in the third position, they prepared for a fast attack, but were instantly intercepted by the Red No. 5 who flashed past! Then he was as light as a swallow, and entered the penalty area alone and scored a layup.

This fastest counterattack immediately ignited the whole game, making the Blue Team more difficult; after repeated mistakes, the gap became wider and wider.

The game was going on without any suspense.

The cheers that resounded throughout the venue and were neatly rehearsed like rehearsing were all just for that person...

"DD!DD!DD!DD…"

Zong Zheng felt like he was watching a dramatic performance: a super god was placed among a group of mortals, which easily led the audience.

Another beautiful steal!

The young man's face without any expression made his opponents at a loss. In his eyes, it seemed that no one existed...

A sudden emergency stop easily threw away the opponent who was returning to defense!

Before everyone on the field could react, he had his feet off the ground and made a touching three-pointer in a graceful posture.

The moment the ball fell into the ball frame through a perfect arc, the cheers burst out around him as if they were about to lift the roof of the entire venue, so that Zong Zheng did not hear what Li Kai said to him at all. Fortunately, he knew what Li Kai wanted to say, which was the reason why he came back to see him across most of the earth.

He pretended to hear Li Kai's words and said, "These audiences are all relatives of his family."

"You have so many relatives! They are real."

"If you are so awesome, why haven't you been poached by the professional team yet?"

"I've dug it long ago! When he was in high school, we Lao Zhang went there in person, but we were rejected on the spot."

"Do even the national team dare to refuse?"

"More than that, he actually didn't like our coach! Hahaha, the expression when Lao Zhang came back to retell was also very hilarious! He still remembers it freshly."

Amid Li Kai's laughter, Zong Zheng felt sorry for coach Lao Zhang and put his attention back on the court for a second.

Time walked minute by minute, and finally, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the entire game.

"82 to 42." Zong Zheng said the cruel result on the scoreboard expressionlessly.

Li Kai looked proud.

Zong Zheng glanced at him and said, "Are you anxious to follow your coach's footsteps?"

"That's a must, he is the most ideal shooting guard in my mind." Li Kai smiled calmly, then suddenly realized something, and changed his face in a second: "Hey, wait, you have to follow my coach's footsteps! He's bald..."

"But, are you sure? It looks like it's hard to subdue."

"He must be one of my team."

"Oh?" Zong Zheng couldn't help laughing. He raised an eyebrow and turned his head slightly. Seeing Li Kai's righteous look, he seemed to be confessing to a girl.

It’s a pity that he might really follow Lao Zhang’s footsteps this time. Zong Zheng thought.

No matter how you look at it, DD doesn’t look like an ordinary person. Let’s not talk about the skills of playing basketball. Just looking at people’s eyes is like he never looks at people with an eye; I don’t know if it’s indifferent, arrogant, or whatever, but it gives people a feeling that they can’t touch or touch...

The two stood up and walked towards the opposite side of the stadium one after another. Only saw that several players from the visiting team looked solemn and retreated with depression without saying a word. When passing by Li Kai, they glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and they didn't recognize who he was, probably because they lost the game and lost.

Li Kai obviously didn't care about idle people, and he only saw that person from beginning to end.

The man was also walking down the field. The home team's substitute logistics immediately surrounded him when he saw it and handed the sweat towel and mineral water in his hand to him.

Zong Zheng and Li Kai stood in the corner together and watched him talk and laugh with his little fans. Although they couldn't hear the content of the conversation, they could probably see seven or eight. This made Zong Zheng suddenly change and began to feel that this player, who was as cold as an iceberg on the court, was not as difficult to get close to as he imagined.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. Just after DD looked back and saw Li Kai inadvertently, his always calm eyes suddenly became bright. He took his own mind, silently leaving his teammates behind, and walked straight towards Li Kai... The latter raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the young defender who was walking towards him calmly.

"Why are you here?" DD asked.

"Can't I come?" Li Kai asked back.

"You said yourself, you won't come to my game until I can beat you one-on-one." DD said straightforwardly.

"Oh! I'm accompanying my friend to do something, and I'll come and see you. Authentic, this is the little Chenchen I told you." Li Kai said, turning around and moving Zong Zheng in front of him: "It's him. He just came back from Country A and said he would come to see the game no matter what. I can't help but come with him."

Zong Zheng, who was forced to enter and was labeled as a bunch of hats, resisted the urge to beat Li Kai and chose to temporarily accept the current situation...

"Hello, my surname is Zong Zheng, my name is Zheng Zong. Although it is a bit pretentious to speak like this when we first met, don't believe Li Kai's words. He actually often comes to you for competitions and comes every game."

"Hmm...Zong...Zong? Hello, my name is Duan Fengchen." Facing the man who suddenly appeared and spoke very fast, his first impression was actually quite good.

"Duan Fengchen? Yes, it's such a good name..." Zong Zheng wanted to complain about the incongruity of this name in his heart, but when he thought of his name, there was nothing left.

Duan Fengchen stared at the sect without a moment, hesitating, looking like he didn't know what to say; it was like a teacher forced too many knowledge points, but he hadn't even digested the first mouthful...

"Is it true that Li Kai often watches me in competitions?" He thought about it, but still chose not to be ashamed to ask.

"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can go and check his phone. Maybe you have even taken a lot of your videos secretly." Zong Zheng replied without hesitation.

This time Duan Fengchen really didn't know what to say. He pursed his lips a little embarrassedly, and his eyes were obviously flickering.

After a while, he looked up at Li Kai and asked them to come in and sit in. After seeing Li Kai agreeing, he happily pulled his arm up and walked towards the team's dedicated rest area without looking back.

Soon the three of them came to a dedicated lounge with a sofa.

"You guys sit here first, I'll change my clothes and come back soon," Duan Fengchen said.

"Go~" Li Kai waved at him with a smile.

Looking at the back of the jersey, Li Kai still maintained a kind smile, but said, "You told him the truth, okay?"

"Hmm?" Zong Zheng blinked, looking like he couldn't understand.

"Okay, it's my fault. I didn't explain it to you in advance. But now it's even." Li Kai opened the refrigerator and took out two bottles of mineral water, handed one to Zong Zheng.

"Get even?" Zong Zheng took the water and still looked like he couldn't understand it.

"Look, I've been lying to him before and saying that his game is not worth watching, but now you expose it all at once. You've also said that you're recording your phone or something, which makes me... so embarrassing."

Zong Zheng swallowed a mouthful of ice water, looked up at Li Kai and said in surprise: "Will you be embarrassed? Why didn't I know you have this skill?"

Li Kai didn't care about this level of teasing, and he leaned into his ear and whispered, "We can't make him too proud."

"You want to trick me. It's hundreds of years early." Zong Zheng said calmly.

"Okay, okay, I don't want him to be too proud, right?" Li Kai compromised and asked for full comment.

Through the observation of nearly an hour just now, although Zong Zheng did not see how proud Duan Fengchen was, there was one thing that made him quite concerned about...

"How tall is he?"

"Ah? Do you think Chenchen? It should be 185. What's wrong?"

"It looks like I am..."

"Puff," Li Kai laughed: "I say it's authentic. Playing basketball is not only about height, but also mainly depends on diligence and...."
