Tang Xiaowan frowned slightly and retorted: "Mom, what do you mean? Aren't Zhao Qiang and I from the same class? His family is an ordinary family!"

"Xiaowan, it is precisely because his family is an ordinary one that after he entered the NBA, he suddenly made a lot of money. If a poor man suddenly becomes rich, he will lose himself!"

What her mother said actually made sense. Tang Xiaowan was not a lover. She bit her lip and stopped talking.

Seeing that his daughter had listened, Tang Feng continued to persuade: "Mom and dad believe in your vision and will not see the wrong person, but time will really change everything. Well, we are not the kind of unenlightened parents. If Zhao Qiang...

Promise not to enter the NBA and find a relatively ordinary job after graduation, and we will agree."

Wu Shuhua also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we have no objection to Zhao Qiang. He is a good kid. But after entering the NBA, it is hard to say. After all, it is a big dyeing vat."

Tang Xiaowan looked disappointed, stood up, wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands, and silently returned to her room.

Tang Feng and Wu Shuhua breathed a sigh of relief. They also knew Tang Xiaowan's character very well. This child was a bit precocious and they could understand the couple's hard work and knew it was for her own good.

I believe she should be able to persuade Zhao Qiang not to enter the NBA for the sake of their happiness.

If Zhao Qiang can really give up the NBA for Tang Xiaowan, it means that Xiaowan has really found the right person.

…

At noon the next day, Tang Xiaowan specifically asked Zhao Qiang to have lunch with her.

This is rare.

Although the relationship between the two has been established and they are passionately in love, they usually eat separately at lunch.

Zhao Qiang had dinner with his teammates, while Tang Xiaowan had dinner with her best friends.

When Zhao Qiang saw Tang Xiaowan suddenly asking him to have lunch together, he knew that he had something to tell him.

The two of them sat in the corner with their plates in hand.

"Come on, Xiaowan, what do you want to tell me?" Zhao Qiang looked at Tang Xiaowan's eyes and found that her eyes were a little red and swollen.

"Zhao Qiang, you...must enter the NBA?" Tang Xiaowan asked in a low voice.

Zhao Qiang was stunned, scratched his head and replied: "Yes, I am fighting for it. I hope to participate in the draft and go to the NBA to make a name for myself!"

Seeing Zhao Qiang's arrogant look, Tang Xiaowan couldn't help but shed tears again.

This confused Zhao Qiang. He hurriedly took out a tissue, wiped Tang Xiaowan's tears, and asked in a panic: "What happened? Who bullied you? Tell me! Is it that little devil?"

Tang Xiaowan shook her head and pushed Zhao Qiang's hand away.

"Can you... not go to the NBA for me? Your academic performance is very good and your major is good. It shouldn't be difficult to find a good job after graduation..."

Zhao Qiang thought he had heard wrong. Tang Xiaowan had been very supportive of his basketball career before. Even when Zhao Qiang was discouraged, Tang Xiaowan kept encouraging him.

Why are you saying this again now?

Zhao Qiang is a smart man and he guessed it.

"Xiaowan, did...your parents say something?" Zhao Qiang asked tentatively.

Tang Xiaowan nodded slightly, but then shook his head vigorously and said, "No, I want to ask you this question."

This stumped Zhao Qiang.

He was silent for nearly a minute and said slowly: "If...I must enter the NBA, will we...break up?"

Tang Xiaowan knew very well the importance of basketball to Zhao Qiang, and she couldn't bear it, but she had to listen to her parents' orders.

So she could only nod slightly, but she didn't speak and didn't dare to look into Zhao Qiang's eyes.

"Xiaowan, you are very important to me. You are like my life. To put it bluntly, if a robber takes you as a hostage, I will not hesitate to trade myself for you!"

Tang Xiaowan was overjoyed after hearing this, and excitedly grabbed Zhao Qiang's big hand: "Qiang, do you mean... promise me?"

Zhao Qiang slowly shook his head: "But basketball is more important than my life... I can live without getting married, but I can't live without basketball..."

"..."

Tang Xiaowan froze and was speechless.

I don't know how many seconds passed before Tang Xiaowan asked: "I...I didn't ask you not to play basketball. You can play basketball in your spare time. Isn't that okay?"

Zhao Qiang laughed miserably: "That's different. I want to play basketball at the highest level in the world. Do you know how wonderful it feels to stand on top of the world's basketball world?"

Tang Xiaowan knew that she could not convince Zhao Qiang.

She stood up, picked up the dinner plate, and walked to another table silently.

Zhao Qiang felt heartache and shouted from behind: "Xiaowan, do you... want to break up with me?"

Tang Xiaowan did not answer.

Zhao Qiang did not continue to pester Tang Xiaowan. Now both of them need to calm down.

He didn't know why Tang Xiaowan suddenly refused to let him enter the NBA, but the two things had become antagonistic and he would not give in. Now it was up to Tang Xiaowan to decide.

From that day on, the two never saw each other again and had no contact.

Zhao Qiang thought that the two of them had broken up.

Although he felt sad, the NCAA tournament was about to begin, and he had to devote himself to training for the game.

The teammates of the Cavalry Team have not seen Zhao Qiang and Tang Xiaowan together for several days, and they are still asking.

Zhao Qiang knew that the relationship between Tang Xiaowan and other teammates was very good. If they really broke up, it would affect everyone's mood.

After all, this is a pair that all the teachers and students in the school are optimistic about, a "golden boy and a beautiful girl".

So he didn't make the news of the breakup public.

…

In the first half of the game against the University of Connecticut, Tang Xiaowan did not bring her cheerleaders to cheer for the Cavaliers.

Zhao Qiang sighed inwardly. He knew that maybe the relationship between the two of them was over.

Unexpectedly, in the second half of the game, Tang Xiaowan actually came to the competition venue again.

And she still wears Zhao Qiang's No. 1 jersey, and is surrounded by her cheerleaders.

Zhao Qiang felt a warm feeling in his heart, and he waved to Tang Xiaowan excitedly.

However, Tang Xiaowan in the past would blow him a kiss at this time, and the two would interact in the air.

But today, Tang Xiaowan did not blow a kiss, but nodded politely towards him.

Zhao Qiang felt cold. He understood that Tang Xiaowan came here to cheer only for the team and the school, not for himself anymore...

The teammates were so excited that they didn't notice any changes in the two of them.

Da Ben punched Tang Xiaowan's cheerleading team hard and shouted: "You are finally here, haha, we will definitely win!"

Xiaode also shouted: "If you have beautiful girls, come on, we will play better!"

Even Brown whistled and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is finally here, Brother Qiang will definitely go crazy!"
