"Love After Love 5-0=? Chapter 10 The Sprouting of Love"

  When he is a free man, he is often less attractive than when he quickly becomes someone else's.

  After a brief winter break, Ji Huaning stepped into the second half of her first year in high school. As she became more familiar with her classmates, campus activities also started to become increasingly rich and diverse. The most recent highly anticipated event was the upcoming school basketball game.

  There are many boys in the class who love playing basketball, and the boys' serious practice has also brought up the enthusiasm of the girls. The whole class has a collective sense of honor for the first time, and it looks harmonious.

  On the day of the competition, Ji Huaning and Qin Yijiang rushed to occupy the front row seats in the inner court. The seats around the school flower were also quickly snatched up. They shone like two rays of light in the crowd, attracting attention with every frown and smile.

  The whistle blows, the game begins. The one responsible for jumping is Xie Qida, who is tall and imposing. He can be seen to have jumped about half a head higher than his opponent, easily passing the ball to his teammate.

  "Hurray!" The two girls and the people around them cheered loudly.

  Ji Huaning was not very interested in basketball at first, but as a class cadre, she went to watch the boys' practice several times and gradually became infected with their enthusiasm. At this moment, her line of sight is chasing after that tall figure, his speed is fast, his shooting is accurate and his posture is beautiful.

  "Beautiful! Jiang Yuan Ying!" A boy behind her yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice piercing her eardrums.

  She gazed at the person on the field, a pure and beautiful smile spreading across her face. In this noisy gymnasium, she was like a quiet and elegant orchid. Their class had a good standard, scoring goal after goal, always dominating the game, which made their opponents from Class 5 of Senior High School somewhat impatient.

  Immediately, Class 7 of High School No. 1 made a mistake, the ball was intercepted by the opponent and passed to a tall player. He hastily ran to the three-point line, swung his arms with force, hoping this shot could pull back the score.

  The basketball drew a strong arc in the air and actually smashed onto the rim, then flew rapidly to one side.

  "Watch out!" Xie Qida exclaimed, and Ji Huaning only saw the orange basketball rushing towards him.

  She reflexively covered her face with her hands. Just then, a cry of "Ah!" came from beside her.

  Look to the left, Qin Yi Jiang has fallen to the ground, the basketball hit her forehead, a scarlet **flowed slowly from under her delicate nose.

  "Xiao Yi!" Ji Huaning's voice trembled as he hurriedly squatted down to look at her. All he saw was Qin Yijiang's eyes slightly open, humming in pain.

  "What's going on?" A few people gathered around, and the tall guy who was shooting hoops stood there in a daze. Himself... himself had smashed the school flower?

  In the chaos, Jiang Yuanying pushed through the crowd and ran over. Seeing Qin Yijiang's appearance, he whispered that it was not good. He was born into a medical family, his parents were authorities in the medical field, and he also slightly understood some superficial knowledge. Looking at her appearance, she might have suffered a concussion.

  "She needs to be treated in time, can't delay." He calmly made the judgment, his hands picked up the weak Qin Yijiang from the ground and walked forward a few steps towards the crowd, saying "Excuse me, please make way."

  Ji Huaning only had time to stare blankly at the back of Qin Yijiang being carried away, with sighs and whispers filling her ears.

  The basketball team won by a narrow margin of six points in the absence of Jiang Yuan and advanced smoothly.

  Qin Yi Jiang was indeed slightly concussed and needed to be hospitalized for observation for two days.

  The news of the school flower, Camellia Princess, being knocked down by a ball during the basketball game spread quickly, and what's even more delightful is Jiang Shao's second heroic rescue, making countless boys both admire and envy him.

  "How come it's always him who saves the school flower? The school flower with a 66.6% popularity rating has already been saved by him!" they said.

  Ji Huaning went to the hospital after school and stayed for two days. When Qin Yijiang was first taken there, she had vomited, but after treatment, she was fine, so they let her go home and rest. Looking at her pale face, Ji Huaning's mind kept replaying the scene of Jiang Yuanheng holding her, over and over again, unable to shake it off, leaving her bewildered.

  Three days later, Qin Yijiang returned to school. Xie Qida patted Ji Huanning's shoulder: "Xiao Ning, this is a pastry that my dad brought back from his business trip. I remember... you said it was delicious last time." He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, while Qin Yijiang joked: "Xie Qida, you're biased! Why did you only bring some for Xiao Ning? I remember I also said it was delicious!"

  Xie Qida's face turned bright red, and Ji Huaning quickly took over, saying thank you, and then looked at Jiang Yuanying with a thoughtful expression. When he turned around again, he found that Xiao Yi was also looking at him, her expression slightly dazed.

  After a few days, Jiang Yuanying suddenly asked Qin Yijiang: "Has your head been dizzy lately?"

  Qin Yi's eyebrows and eyes were delicate and charming, "Before going to sleep, there was always a little bit of it, but it wasn't too serious."

  Jiang Yuanying lowered his head and pulled out a white paper bag from his backpack, "Yesterday my dad returned from Japan after attending a meeting, I told him about your situation, he said this medicine might help with your dizziness and has no side effects, you can try it."

  Qin Yi Jiang changed his usual frankness, and with rare gentleness took the small bag from his hand, softly saying thank you, as if he was the second Ji Hua Ning. His deskmate was quietly watching all this, a strange feeling surging up in her heart.

  Something is quietly changing without being noticed.

  After school, Ji Huaning walked home with a light step. When she was not far from the familiar white building, she suddenly flashed into a dark alley on one side and covered her mouth and nose with her hand.

  It turned out that this was the place where garbage was handled. Ji Huaning waved her small hand, and the package in her hand fell onto the pile of garbage with a perfect parabola. Then she patted her hands and jumped back to the original path.

  "Are you going to throw away the things others give you too?" A slightly childish voice sounded behind her. Turning back, a boy in a light blue school uniform was staring at her with a tense face.

  Ji Huaning shrugged indifferently, seemingly uncaring: "Something with an unknown origin, who dares to eat or use it? Not accepting it would also hurt the other person's face, so isn't this just perfect, killing two birds with one stone?"

  Lin Jinglan's small face was written with disapproval, "Others thought you happily accepted it, but you deceived them."

  He has seen such things more than once or twice. From young to old, she has always been two different people in front of and behind others. Perhaps only he has ever seen this.

  She started to get a bit annoyed: "Then I'll just accept your help?" In the past, when someone had sent her things, she had also politely declined, only for those things to start mysteriously appearing in her drawer, on her desk, and even on their class's podium, causing her trouble several times. So she started dealing with those gifts this way, and was happy to maintain her kind image.

  But Lin Jinglan was relentless: "You're being unreasonable, you..."

  Ji Hua Ning glanced around and saw no one, then quickly walked over to a boy who was about her shoulder height, grabbed his neck and pulled him forward: "Do you know how annoying you are? You're like an old man, always nagging. Tell me, what did you come looking for me today?"

  This little blue one, on the surface it looks intelligent and beautiful, but in reality it is stubborn and obstinate, simply a hard nut to crack.

  The boy's answer has slowly drifted away, faintly scattered in the wind.
