She is in the fog

The other party had a bad temper. Although he knew he was not right, he was naturally unwilling to accept the fact that He Xi was so aggressive. He gritted his teeth and blurted out a curse.

He Xi was stunned for a second, then frowned, stared at the boy, and said in a cold tone: "What did you just say? Say it again?"

The boy realized that he had said something wrong, but he still insisted: "What do you care what I say?"

"I'll let you say it again if you have the guts!" He Xi's voice suddenly rose, with obvious anger in his tone.

The boy sensed the danger and blinked rapidly, his heart beating fast. But he couldn't take back what he had said, and with so many people around him, he couldn't lose face, so he simply lowered his head and muttered, "Just say it, what's the big deal."

“Beep, beep, beep—”
The referee realized that the atmosphere was not right and blew the whistle. Another player from Class 1 on the field was looking for chaos. Seeing the two players at loggerheads, he added fuel to the fire and took the opportunity to ask the referee for a timeout.

Seeing that the battle was about to break out, Ming Mei hurriedly shouted: "He Xi!"

After hearing Mingmei's voice, He Xi turned around decisively, with a puzzled expression: "Huh?"

They were still playing, so Mingmei couldn't run to the court. She could only wave at her and said, "Come here. I have something to tell you."

He Xi walked up to her obediently. Ming Mei tilted her neck, put her hand to her mouth, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "The score on the field is now 26:24. If a conflict occurs, then today's game is basically over, and there should be no chance for a rematch. In the future, when they mention this game, they will not remember whether there was any conflict during the process, nor will they emphasize that this is an unfinished game. They will only remember that Class 1 scored 5 more points than Class 2, Class 1 beat Class 5, and Class 5 lost to Class 1."

Ming Mei paused for a moment and continued, "He Xi, don't be impulsive. Look at how angry he is. If you want to see him get humiliated, the best revenge is to defeat him. There are still five minutes left, and we will definitely be able to do it."

He Xi turned around and glanced at the players from Class 1 who were resting on the sidelines. The boys were very tall and were in the experimental class with the best average grades. They were full of pride and wanted to be the first in everything. Last year, Class was sixth in the autumn sports meeting. It was said that Li Bufan later gave an inspiring speech in the class, and everyone in the class was excited. Under the high-intensity study, they were able to spare a lot of time for physical exercise. Hard work paid off. In this year's spring sports meeting, they really took first place in the total score.

Sometimes, He Xi also admired their strong execution ability, no wonder they were admitted to the experimental class. It is undeniable that they are indeed excellent in some aspects, but this is definitely not a reason for them to be arrogant and swear.

He Xi turned around and blinked at Ming Mei, "I know, I can do it."

The game continues.

If He Xi had not touched the basketball, it would have been considered that Class 1 was out of bounds. However, He Xi was afraid that the basketball would hit Ming Mei's face, so he flew up to catch the ball and changed its trajectory, so it became that Class 5 was out of bounds, and the possession of the ball was transferred to Class 1.

The 5-minute countdown began, and the team 1 dribbled the ball to attack. He Xi chose to stand next to Li Bufan. If she guessed correctly, they would definitely pass the ball to Li Bufan. She only had to defend Li Bufan and prevent her from scoring. If she was lucky, she might even be able to snatch the ball.

As expected, the basketball was passed into Li Bufan's hands soon after.

He Xi found the right moment and took advantage of the fact that her hips/underbody were not at an appropriate height for dribbling, and unexpectedly flew up to grab the ball. He then quickly passed the ball to his teammates, ran to a relatively safe position, raised his hands high, and jumped to signal his teammates to pass the ball to him again.

At the critical moment, the teammates did not let him down and decisively threw the basketball to He Xi. He Xi dribbled the ball while defending his opponent, and made a layup with three steps inside the three-point line, scoring 2 points.

There were deafening cheers and a few barely audible sighs from the field.

26:26, the score is tied, three minutes left.

In the next three minutes, He Xi seemed to have taken stimulants. He intercepted both passes from the opponent, turned passive into active, and with the cooperation of his teammates, successfully made a two-point ball and a three-point ball.

“5、4、3、2、1，比赛结束！恭喜高二（5）班获得本场友谊赛的最终胜利！”

"Yeah!" The students from Class 5 outside the venue jumped up on the spot excitedly, not caring who was standing next to them. They high-fived each other, hugged each other, and jumped and spun in circles.

All the members of Class 5 were in high spirits. Except for Li Bufan who had a blank expression, the expressions on the faces of the other four members of Class 1 were a bit ugly.

The players from both teams shook hands in turn. When it was He Xi and Li Bufan's turn, Li Bufan held He Xi's hand tightly and pulled her slightly closer. He glanced at Ming Mei outside the court and said softly, "I lost to you. I admit it sincerely."

He Xi didn't know the deeper meaning of her words, and responded with a smile: "You are also very good."

Class 1 lost the game, and the whole class was listless. He Zhi was not convinced and sneered sarcastically: "Some classes are not good at studying, but they are usually diligent in other aspects. Didn't they just win a basketball game? It's like they were admitted to a prestigious school. If they put their mind to studying, they could get two more points on the exam."

Wen Wan, who was confident that no one could beat her in talking nonsense, also said a few times in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, how many points did you get? Did you get over 700?" She also patted her head in a pretentious manner and pretended to scold herself, "Look at my head, I almost forgot that in the last midterm exam, only one person in the whole school got over 1 points. Unfortunately, that person is from Class 700."

He Zhi frowned and was speechless, obviously angry. She said that the overall situation was average, and Wen Wan made up a person for her, but what she said was the fact, so she didn't know where to start to refute. She simply shook her hand, took her friend's arm and left the basketball court in shame.

After shaking hands with his opponent, He Xi returned to the base and found that Mingmei was gone, so he asked curiously, "Where's Mingming?" "She said she was going to buy something and asked you to find her in the classroom after you finish." Wen Wan handed the school uniform pants in her hand to He Xi, "Here, she asked me to give it to you."

"What are you buying? Why don't you wait for me..." He Xi muttered, and when he was about to go back to the classroom, he suddenly stopped.

She looked down at her sweaty jersey. She had just expended a lot of energy playing basketball and was sweating all over. Not to mention that she felt uncomfortable all sticky, the most important thing was that Mingmei was sitting behind her and she smelled of sweat. What would she do if the smell stung her nose?

He Xi looked at the time and saw that class was about to start in 20 minutes, so he said to Wen Wan, "Go to the classroom and tell Mingming that I'll be there soon. I have to go back to the dormitory first."

Wen Wan nodded and said, "Okay, then come quickly."

After saying goodbye to Wen Wan, He Xi quickly returned to the dormitory and went straight to the bathroom to wash his hair and take a shower.

The water from the shower head was hot, and it flowed down He Xi's scraped arm, causing waves of pain, as if ants were crawling on it, both painful and itchy.

Never mind, just bear with it and it will pass.

He Xi gritted her teeth and began to apply shower gel on her body. Under the stimulation of chemicals, the wound became redder and redder, but she ignored it and continued to apply it for the second time.

He Xi didn't stop until her hair and skin were filled with the fragrance of roses. She dried herself, put on her school uniform and walked out.

She picked up a dry towel and wiped her hair on the balcony until the dripping stopped. Then she hung the towel on the sink, shook her hair, and hurried to the classroom.

The weather was hot, and He Xi had short hair. By the time she walked from the dormitory to the classroom, her hair had almost dried out and was only slightly moist.

When I entered the classroom, I saw Mingmei sitting in her seat. There was a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and a bag of medical cotton swabs on the table.

She walked to her seat, facing Mingmei, and sat on the chair backwards like riding a horse, leaning against the back of the chair with her hands folded, and asked, "Did you go to the infirmary?"

Mingmei propped her chin up with her hand and smiled, "Well, stop hiding. Give me your hand, He Xi."

She did notice the scrapes on her arms.

Mingmei tore open the medical cotton swab naturally and unscrewed the cap of the hydrogen peroxide bottle. "There is no iodine in the infirmary, so the hydrogen peroxide I used is more irritating. Please bear with the pain."

Hearing this, He Xi was somewhat surprised. In her previous life, she was bullied by Ning Xiaoduo and had a scratch below her knee. Ming Mei also secretly bought hydrogen peroxide and said almost the same thing to her.

Wait! He Xi's mind jumped, and suddenly he thought of another strange point: Why is there no iodine in the infirmary?

Mingmei took a cotton swab and stirred it in the hydrogen peroxide. When she looked up at He Xi's wound, she suddenly frowned and asked, "Has your wound touched water?"

He Xi wanted to deny it, but the wound was red and swollen, and the edges were obviously white. The evidence was irrefutable, so he could only nod guiltily: "Yeah, I took a shower."

"Shower? How can you take a shower right away when your arm is injured? It will affect the healing process."

"But I can't keep smelling bad... If I don't smell good, then I'll probably never take a shower again in my life..." He Xi muttered softly.

Seeing that she didn't take care of her body, Ming Mei was furious, "Still talking back? At least wrap it with a piece of plastic wrap, at least don't let the wound come into direct contact with water."

Seeing Mingmei was angry, He Xi immediately raised the white flag. She shook her head hurriedly: "I dare not talk back, I dare not talk back, I will definitely do it next time!"

"Hmph!" Mingmei turned her head away proudly, but still glanced at her wound. Three seconds later, she turned her head back decisively, dipped the cotton swab in hydrogen peroxide, and then carefully held the cotton swab to touch He Xi's wound.

He Xi saw her angry look and thought it was very cute. He wanted to tease her and deliberately made a "hiss" sound: "It hurts."

"Bear the pain, who told you to soak in the water?" Mingmei said this, but the strength in her hands was obviously lighter.

After treating the wound, the class bell rang. He Xi winked at Ming Mei to express her gratitude. When she was about to turn around, Ming Mei suddenly called her: "He Xi, do you remember what day it is today?"
