677 Trying to Break into Her Defense

Fu Ying heard her brother’s words and turned to Bai Xi Xi with a hint of surprise on her face. “Sister, you also knew how to play basketball?”

She did not know the sport well, but her elder brother seemed to like it a lot.

The last time Bai Xi Xi played a three-on-three match against Fu Chen, Fu Ying was not around to watch the match. Last time, she was staying at home to help her mother around the house.

“Mmm...” Bai Xi Xi nodded. “I know a little bit.” Then, she turned to Fu Chen again and considered his words.

This was not the first time that Fu Chen had asked her to have a match against him. Seeing that there were not a lot of people around the place, Bai Xi Xi thought that it would not do any harm to play a match.

“Alright then.”

Fu Chen’s eyes lit up when he heard her answer. He almost could not believe that this time, Bai Xi Xi had agreed.

“But Fu Chen, if you lost, you should treat me and my nephew to ice creams.”

Fu Chen was stunned for a brief second before he erupted into laughter.

.....

Since the two of them were planning to have a match, both Bai Xiang and Zhang Qi Lin had to return to the side.

Zhang Qi Lin heard that his aunt was going to have a match against Fu Chen. Then, his expression quickly changed. He looked at the big brother in front of him and recalled that he was supposed to protect his aunt from strange men around her.

Meanwhile, Fu Ying went to call her other siblings to watch the basketball match.

The kids saw Bai Xi Xi and recalled the delicious noodles that Bai Xi Xi made the last time she came to their house. Hearing that the sister was going to have a match with their brother piqued their interest.

The group of kids stood outside the fence while both Bai Xi Xi and Fu Chen were in the court.

Bai Xi Xi was quite tall. But standing beside Fu Chen, she was still a few inches shorter.

Bai Xiang stood at the side with the watch in his hand.

Meanwhile. Zhang Qi Lin stood in the middle of the basketball court to toss the ball. He gave Fu Chen a look over and wondered why this person was always around her aunt’s side.

“Qi Lin,” Bai Xi Xi called. “You can start now.”

“Oh.” It was then that Zhang Qi Lin retracted his gaze from Fu Chen. He checked at both sides before tossing the ball. Then, he went away and joined the other kids to watch the match.

The moment the game started, Fu Chen was able to grab the ball with his height and long arms. Once he get the ball, Fu Chen dashed forward to the goal.

However, Bai Xi Xi was quick enough to block his path. With her small frame, Bai Xi Xi’s move was agile. Fu Chen did not get to relax before Bai Xi Xi appeared in front of him.

He tried to move to one side, but no matter which way he wanted to go, Bai Xi Xi was quick to block his path.

Fu Chen considered his distance with the hoop. He was too far and did not dare to try making his shot from this distance.

While he was a little distracted, Bai Xi Xi made the move to steal the ball from him.

Fortunately, Fu Chen was quick enough to respond. He turned to another side and swiftly avoided Bai Xi Xi. Taking this chance, Fu Chen took the ball forward. But seconds later, Bai Xi Xi had once again appeared in front of him.

Their gazes met and Fu Chen did not miss the grin on her lips.

Bai Xi Xi once again tried to steal the ball from Fu Chen and this time, she managed to take the ball in her hand. Without delaying for a second, Bai Xi Xi ran to the other side with the ball in her hand.

The sound of the basketball against the floor was loud and energetic.

Once Bai Xi Xi was close enough to the hoop, she did not hesitate to jump and tossed the ball into the hoop.

The kids who were standing at the side to watch began to cheer.

For most of them, they did not care much about who was going to win or lose this match. They just thought that Bai Xi Xi looked cool when she tossed the ball into the hoop and clapped.

Anyway, they would cheer for whoever gets to score the ball into the hoop.

The game started again and the two were going head to head. Fu Chen once again had the basketball in his hand and was now trying to break through Bai Xi Xi’s defense. However, Bai Xi Xi was good at defense.

Trying to break into her defense already made him sweat a lot. It was as if she could read his mind. Each time that he would try to trick her, Bai Xi Xi was able to find out about it very quickly.

Fu Chen looked at the girl in front of him and frowned slightly.

This was not the first time that he had played against Bai Xi Xi. However, the last time they had a match, it was a three-on-three match, it was with her niece and nephews.

Because of the kids, Bai Xi Xi had restrained a lot. She always gave the kids the chance to play and would only assist them when needed.

But now that they were playing a one-on-one match, Fu Chen naturally noticed the difference in Bai Xi Xi’s game and skills.

Still, he was able to notice that she was not giving it all out in this match.

This made him even more curious about Bai Xi Xi and her skills in basketball. Fu Chen knew that Bai Xi Xi was better at him in this game. He wondered just how would she look when she was giving her all into the match.
