Li thought for a moment that he was seeing things when he saw his brother across the court. He realized that he was seeing things just fine when he saw him with Qi Cheng and little Qi Yi.
Xu Feiqun had already joined the group of youngsters when Li looked at them again after a while. Feiqun wildly waved his hands at Li along with Xingyun making it quite a spectacle.
Li glanced at them and removed his gaze as if he was uninterested but he stopped playing and walked toward them unhurriedly.
"Hey! Li, Where are you going?" Mo Yi, a classmate of his spared a second to ask him while dribbling the ball.
"They are here," Li answered him and his classmate easily spotted Feiqun waving wildly among the spectators. Mo Yi gave him a short nod to show that he had understood before giving his attention back to the match again.
The crowd was dispersing when they saw that Li had no intention of playing any further. Only a few people stayed who were interested in watching the match.
Qi Yi hurriedly jumped forward and hugged the youth's legs happily. Li didn't resist him and let him hang on to his leg like however, he wanted. Xingyun glared at the little kid hanging on his brother's leg childishly but the kid tightened his hold instead of letting go.
Xingyun moved forward and clutched his dear brother's arm possessively. He felt that his position was being threatened. He looked at the little kid and moved closer to his brother.
Li blankly looked at Xjngyun noticing his childish movements and the brave teenager stared right back at him stubbornly.
Li didn't say anything he took back his gaze, his lips turned up slightly and amusement was flickering in his eyes.
"Ahhh, What's this" Xu Feiqun wailed looking at Li with envy while Li raised his brow at him.
"This is so unfair. Can't they see that I'm here too, I feel so lonely." Feiqun wanted their hugs too.
"Saw" Unexpectedly this time the little Qi Yi spoke but he had no signs of letting go of li.
"Wow! You're so unpopular." Xingyun rolled his eyes at the depressed Feiqun. It could be seen that the word 'despise' was written all over his small face.
Luo Jin was very happy knowing that besides him someone else was also suffering from his friend's poisonous tongue.
"I want to be popular too. When Li joined on playing basketball, the simple basketball game almost became like a competition and now they only greet him like that. It's almost like I'm invisible to them. It's not like I am not handsome as Li " Xu Feiqun looked like he was complaining to himself knowing that he won't get any sympathy from those cruel people.
This time even Qi Cheng who had no presence among them looked at Feiqun like a mentally retarded person.
"You wish." Li roasted his almost crying friend not a bit ashamed of flaunting his looks.
"Pfft.." Luo Jin burst out laughing not knowing what he was thinking he was unable to stop his hysterical laughter.
Feiqun slowly turned his head toward the laughing boy with fire in his eyes. "What are you laughing at?"
"Hahaha, It's. haha, nothing."
"Are you trying to say that I'm ugly?" Feiqun face scrunched up in displeasure.
"No. No, You're handsome."
Luo Jin raised his face at Feiqun's scrunched face and again bursted out laughing clutching his stomach.
Feiqun grabbed Jin's collar and brought him close to his face angrily. "Look clearly, Where is my face not good as his?"
Luo Jin tried to swallow his unfinished laughter but he couldn't close his mouth when he was pulled forward.
Feiqun closed his eyes and he was trembling in anger when his face was doused in saliva. He shook the stupid kid in his hands with tremendous force, Jin almost fell to the ground.
"Brother, I missed you so much. You didn't come back after the last time which was long long ago." Yu Xingyun ignored the two idiots who were now bickering among themselves and focused on Li as he rubbed his head against his arm cutely.
"I missed you brother Li" Qi Yi sweetly said rubbing himself against Li learning from Xingyun
Two people were rubbing onto Li while he was standing there lazily almost expressionless.
Qi Cheng smiled in his heart and thought that it was a shame that there was no camera with him. He stopped himself from thinking any longer when he realized that his thoughts were not quite right.
Li didn't answer them but asked one of his questions which was specifically directed toward his sticky little brother.
"Why are you guys here?"
"Brother, We were just passing by and we thought it would be alright to visit you." Xingyun beamed at his brother trying to distract his brother from asking other questions.
Li squinted his eyes at him with doubts clear in his eyes. Li being the object of the brother complex knew how much his little brother was obsessed with him.
"The teacher also permitted us and they can be the witness" Xingyun couldn't help but add another sentence under his brother's suspicious gaze.
"Right guys?"
Others were finally relieved. They were feeling awkward just silently standing beside them being treated just like air. They echoed their agreement with Xingyun wholeheartedly.
The teacher opened his mouth but before he could say something he was interrupted by Luo Jin.
"Brother Li, It was me who suggested the idea. Aren't I amazing?" Luo Jin finally got rid of Feiqun entanglement and said proudly.
Li was silent for a while hearing the intimacy in his words and slowly opened his mouth. " Who are you?"
