Wang Gang picked up Deng Xiaoqi with his left hand and held her tightly in his arms. He kept moving his right hand and the basketballs fell into the net one by one.

"Ah!" Deng Xiaoqi screamed, her face pressed tightly against Wang Gang's chest, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

The countdown of the basketball machine ended, the last basketball hit the net, and the game ended. Wang Gang defeated Lin Miaomiao with an absolute advantage, but he still held Deng Xiaoqi and did not let go.

"Damn it." Lin Miaomiao threw the basketball against the basket, turned to Wang Gang and said, "Why are you still holding Xiaoqi? Do you want to take advantage?"

Deng Xiaoqi found that Wang Gang had loosened his grip and she was free again. She still had some unfinished thoughts and looked at Lin Miaomiao with resentment.

"If we compete with others, I don't believe that we can't beat you." Lin Miaomiao said in a calm voice.

"I will accompany you in any competition you want, but should you admit defeat?" Wang Gang said proudly.

"Don't worry! If I promise to invite you to sing, I will definitely do so." Lin Miaomiao cheerfully pulled Deng Xiaoqi and ran towards the racing machine again.

Wang Gang smiled and felt very happy. Playing with Lin Miaomiao made him forget his age, and he seemed to be back to his youthful days when he was sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Jiang Tianhao, come here quickly, let's race a car." Lin Miaomiao shouted.

Of course Wang Gang stayed with me until the end, and even took Deng Xiaoqi along to race with him.

The three of them had a great time until they spent all the 500 yuan given by Wang Shengnan.

Lin Miaomiao has always lost to Wang Gang, but she has been defeated repeatedly and is the most excited among the three.

Deng Xiaoqi doesn't care about winning or losing, as long as she can stay with Wang Gang.

Unknowingly, the three of them played until past nine o'clock. Wang Shengnan saw that his daughter hadn't come home for a long time, so he couldn't help but call Wang Gang.

Wang Gang could only send the two girls home.

He is only 16 years old now and does not have a driver's license, so he can only take a taxi to take Lin Miaomiao home first, and then take Deng Xiaoqi home.

Before the taxi arrived at the gate of Lin Miaomiao's community, Lin Dawei was waiting on the roadside, but Lin Miaomiao didn't appreciate it at all.

"Dad, don't treat me like a child all day long. I will go home by myself."

Lin Dawei said helplessly: "You didn't come home after playing so late, and you didn't even get a phone call. I wonder if your mother and I would be worried! Are you going to trouble classmate Jiang Tianhao to send you back?"

"Uncle, I'll leave after I deliver your daughter." Wang Gang said hello to Lin Dawei, and then he and Deng Xiaoqi got back into the taxi.

"Tianhao, when you get home, send a message to Miaomiao." Lin Dawei warned.

"good."

The father and daughter walked into the community together and moved Deng Xiaoqi.

"Miaomiao's parents really care about her." Deng Xiaoqi was sitting in the back seat of the taxi, looking at Lin Dawei's back in a daze, without letting the driver drive.

Wang Gang smiled and said: "How can there be parents who don't care about their children?"

Deng Xiaoqi said sadly: "I haven't come home since I played, and my mother didn't even have a phone call."

"Aunt Deng must be busy at work!"

"Tch, what kind of job is that? Just to accompany men." Deng Xiaoqi said disdainfully.

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows, hearing Deng Xiaoqi's resentment towards her mother.

"By the way, why have I never heard you mention your father?" Wang Gang asked curiously.

Deng Xiaoqi lowered her head sadly and whispered: "I am from a single-parent family. I have never seen my father since I was a child."

Wang Gang suddenly realized that he did not continue the conversation and just asked the driver to drive.

The taxi started to drive slowly, and Wang Gang and Deng Xiaoqi in the back row were silent the entire time.

It wasn't until she was approaching Deng Xiaoqi's house that she broke her calm.

"I had a lot of fun today. Can I ask you out more often during the holidays?" Deng Xiaoqi said with a blushing face.

"Okay! Call more classmates next time, it will be more lively when there are more people." Wang Gang said nonchalantly.

Deng Xiaoqi's face froze, and she mustered up her courage and said, "Can we go out to play alone?"

Wang Gang was stunned for a moment, and he completely realized what Deng Xiaoqi was thinking about him.

"Okay! Next time we go out alone, without Lin Miaomiao." Wang Gang said with a smile.

Deng Xiaoqi smiled instantly, and the taxi stopped at the same place.

Before getting out of the car, Deng Xiaoqi suddenly stretched her head over, kissed Wang Gang on the cheek, then quickly opened the car door, got out of the car, and ran towards her home.

Wang Gang subconsciously touched the place where Deng Xiaoqi had kissed him, and then he saw the ambiguous look in the taxi driver's eyes.
