After Kou Xiao's car drove away, Huo Ran entered the building. While waiting for the elevator, he took out his mobile phone and ordered takeout.

His parents are going away for two or three days, and he has to eat takeout during these two or three days. Thinking of this, he suddenly feels that Kou Chen is quite good at living, and he even knows how to eat hot pot by himself.

He would only order takeout, and he would always only order the clay pot rice from the back door of the neighborhood next door.

Ah, I really want to eat Sichuan pot.

When he got home, he found that the large vase at home was broken on the floor, and there was a note written by his mother on it.

- Baby Ranran, come back and scan it, we are anxious to see grandma

"Are you too lazy to scan it?" Huo Ran sighed.

Crouching on the ground, he managed to pick up all the glass fragments into the trash can. Just when he was about to sweep up the debris, his cell phone rang.

Xu Zhifan sent a message.

-What's the relay number?

Huo Ran smiled. He was originally worried that Xu Zhifan would be a little depressed when he went home and didn't see the scene, so he didn't tell him about today's game.

-First! Awesome!

-That's awesome!

Huo Ran hesitated for a moment and called the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, before Xu Zhifan's voice came out, he heard Grandma Xu's voice: "Your father? Or your aunt?"

"It's Huo Ran, it's your turn to play your cards. Think carefully and don't light up the cannons anymore," Xu Zhifan said, "I still have three months to get the New Year's money, and I can't afford the money for you to light up the cannons."

"How about playing mahjong with grandma?" Huo Ran asked.

"Well, I basically just watched her lose money," Xu Zhifan smiled, "Where are you?"

"I'm at home. I have two days off from the smog," Huo Ran said. "Is your dad home?"

"I'm back, I'm going to take a shower right now," Xu Zhifan sighed and lowered his voice, "I've been walking around for so many days, but I haven't found anyone."

"The person you told your dad about must have been wrong," Huo Ran said. "How could he not contact his family if he really comes back?"

"I told him, but it's no use. I'll have to go find him next time I hear something," Xu Zhifan said.

"Then there's still no news at all about your mother? It's been more than half a year. If it's true..." Huo Ran frowned, "Didn't your neighbor Aunt Hu call her relatives and ask for money? They both have one piece.

My son went..."

"My mother's friends and classmates are not here. We don't know if she has asked for money from others," Xu Zhifan said. "They can't contact us. There is no news about Aunt Hu now. Her daughter didn't speak when she saw me.

Even if you restrain yourself from scolding, I can't ask."

"What should I do?" Huo Ran sighed.

"If that doesn't work, I'll make a trip during the Chinese New Year," Xu Zhifan said.

"With your dad?" Huo Ran asked.

"Myself," Xu Zhifan said, "I'm afraid that my dad will be worried about something if he goes away."

"I'll go with you." Huo Ran said.

"Let's talk about it then," Xu Zhifan said. "It's useless for you to follow me, just a kid."

"I will be 18 next year, Uncle Xu." Huo Ran said with a smile.

Xu Zhifan also laughed: "It's okay, considering there are still two months until the holiday, there may be news during this time."

"Yes," Huo Ran nodded, "Kou Chen will let us go to his house to play together tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay," Xu Zhifan said, "I want to see if his dog is called Shuai Shuai."

"Yes, it's very annoying. He licks his face if he doesn't pay attention. Please be careful tomorrow." Huo Ran said.

After chatting for a few more words, Xu Zhifan hung up the phone and said he was going to take his grandma to dinner.

Huo Ran wanted to ask him if he could tell the other seven people about this, but he hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything.

He felt that if there was something to discuss with a few people, he might have more ideas, but Xu Zhifan had always been the kind of person who didn't like to cause trouble to his friends. He would try his best to handle everything by himself. If Huo Ran hadn't done this, he would have gone to him.

When Huo Ran heard that Aunt Hu's husband came to scold her, he wouldn't let Huo Ran know.

It would be great if Xu Zhifan had a character like Kou Chen, unable to hold things back.

"Who did you make an appointment to play with?" Kou Chen took a taxi here early in the morning and was a little excited on the way to the stadium. "Is there anyone I know? Someone from the school basketball team?"

"No," Huo Ran drank yogurt, "just a few people who often go there to play ball. They will get used to it over time. There may be some from the school next door today. We met in the high school league and the attached middle school before."

"Is the technology good?" Kou Chen asked softly.

"Very good," Huo Ran glanced at him, "It might not be easy for you to show off."

Kou Chen didn't care at all about his words: "What about you?"

"What am I?" Huo Ran took another sip of yogurt.

"Can you show off?" Kou Chen asked.

"I don't pretend to be cool," Huo Ran clicked his tongue, "You think everyone is just like you, a pretender in Call of Duty."

Kou Chen was stunned for two seconds and couldn't stop laughing: "Little cutie, you are so cute."

"Go away." Huo Ran replied simply.

It was the first time for Kou Chen to play on a basketball court outside of school. Of course, he had not had much interest in basketball before.

But this indoor court surprised him a little, it was completely different from the ones he had seen.

This stadium is at least twenty years old. It may have been a large warehouse. There are two stadiums side by side, with stands in the middle and around them.

The basketball stand was very new, and the lines on the ground should have been redrawn recently, but the surrounding walls, roofs, and stands made him suddenly think that he was playing street basketball.

The stands are made of a slightly rusty iron frame. Many of the welded joints have been broken. A wooden board is placed on top. The scoreboard frame next to it is also made of the same material. The lower bracket is broken and a large iron cylinder is used to support it.

With.

The light stand on the top is very cool. The large, smooth white lamps are hung on various iron pipes, and are pulled by various threads. The most eye-catching thing is the surrounding walls, which are full of graffiti. I don’t know how many layers they are stacked.

, anyway, not a bit of the wall is exposed.

"Damn," Kou Chen took out his cell phone, "This place is interesting."

"Huoran is here!" Someone from the stands said hello.

"How many people are there?" Huo Ran walked over there.

"There will be a few more coming over in a while, so you can warm up first." A college student-looking man jumped down from the stands and pointed to a few people sitting in the back row, "I don't know if you have seen the people from No. 6 Middle School next to you.

.”

"I don't know." Huo Ran smiled.

Those in the 6th class nodded to him: "You are the current school basketball captain, right?"

"Yeah." Huo Ran responded.

"Your former captain played with us and was very good." A tall man said, jumping down from the stands and suddenly throwing the basketball in his hand.

"Jiang Cheng?" Huo Ran caught the ball and slowly took two steps back with the ball, "He is very powerful."

"He's a defender, right?" The tall man bent down and shook his body slightly, "What about you?"

"Forward." When Huo Ran said this, his right hand suddenly brought the ball behind him.

The tall man rushed to grab the ball but missed it.

Kou Chen stood by and was a little surprised. When Huo Ran dribbled the ball to dodge, the tall body had just begun to lean over and he hadn't even stretched out his hands.

This reaction is a bit cool, Ranran.
