Chapter 25 026: The Bottleneck Period
I don’t know if it was because the finals were approaching, but Mahao didn’t meet Qi Gu again for the next week.

In the past, she had seen him and his teammates go to the cafeteria a few times from a distance, but these days, there was no sign of the basketball team at all.

I heard that in order to prepare for the competition, even the No. [-] Middle School team and their class took leave of absence to train intensively in the gymnasium. I guess the same is true for the sports school.

Ma Hao was not interested in basketball, and she was even less interested in watching a group of high school students play basketball.

Mahao had no intention of changing her mind about Qi Gu's invitation.She and the heroine have just established a friendship as a top student, and now they are in a critical period of their relationship. It is impossible not to strike while the iron is hot.

This is much more important than watching a passerby playing basketball.

Ma Haohao had this idea in mind, even though the discussions among the students around her were in full swing, what should she do?

Early on Tuesday morning, I got up at 5 o'clock as usual, and went to the auditorium with my schoolbag on my back.

Ma Hao opened the classroom door. Xia Xiaotian was already sitting in the last row. When Ma Hao appeared, he waved to her from a distance.

There are more than half the number of students in the classroom than usual.

No. [-] Middle School attaches great importance to the provincial basketball competition. Except for the senior high school candidates, the other two grades have a half-day holiday to encourage everyone to actively support the school team.

Mahao waved at Xia Xiaotian in response, walked to the exclusive seat, took out the textbooks in his schoolbag and concentrated on endorsing.

She hadn't memorized it for a few minutes before the system yelled in her head.

[System: Host host!Do you think our heroine is weird? (`~)]

【Ma Haohao:...】

[Ma Haohao: Xiaoshou, can you be gentler when you show up? 】

[System: What, what’s wrong⊙⊙? 】

[Ma Haohao: Please say hello first when you disturb the top student in his study. 】

[System: (￢_￢) There are so many requirements.Hello host, you are here.Let me tell you, host, our heroine looks a little strange today. OK? 】

[Ma Haohao: Well, that's about the same.What's wrong? 】

[System: ... I can't tell, but it's not the same as usual! (`~)]

[Ma Haohao: ...If I said it, I didn’t say it. 】

[System: ... (╯‵ ′)╯]

When it comes to making friends with Xia Xiaotian, Ma Haohao and the system have a clear division of labor.

She is responsible for studying hard and getting into key classes.

The system is responsible for observing Xia Xiaotian's every move, turning himself into a generation of idiots (?).

However, Xia Xiaotian is worthy of being Ma's biological daughter who has inherited Ma's attributes of being a good scholar, and both of them concentrate on their studies.

It took more than an hour to complete the questions and endorsements without expression, and the system's idiotic (?) attributes were completely useless.

No matter how you observe, the heroine in the study has a paralyzed face! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┴─┴

……

However, Xia Xiaotian was a little out of shape today.

After being prompted by the system, Ma Hao put down the book in her hand and secretly paid attention to the movement next door.

Indeed, as the system said, Xia Xiaotian is very abnormal.

When I was reciting the book, I stared at the ceiling in a daze, my face flushed.

When brushing the questions, he stopped writing while brushing, bit his lip, shook his head, with a tangled expression.

[System: Host, what do you think happened to the heroine? 】

[Ma Haohao: Maybe it's because she's been single for a long time. 】

[System: Huh? 】

[Mahao Hao: I have been single for a long time, and even looking at the ceiling and homework books, I feel that I have a pretty face. 】

[System: ... (_) Believe it or not, the heroine knows that you miss her so much, and will clean you up! 】

[Ma Haohao: Oh. 】

[System: Host, please be serious.Do you think there is a problem between her and the male lead? 】

[Ma Haohao: Well, it’s possible. 】

Since the protagonist's love value rose to 50%, the increase has become very slow.

Unlike the inexplicable rise of 3% or 5% some time ago, there has been almost no fluctuation in the past two days.

A whole week has passed, and the progress bar is still stuck at 52%.

Ma asked the system well, and learned that the love value rose more slowly in the later stage, so she didn't take this matter too seriously, thinking that it was just the protagonist's favorability that reached a bottleneck period.

Now it seems that the bottleneck period is indeed a bottleneck period, but it does not seem to be the result of normal development.

What seems to be a contradiction between the male and female protagonists?
"There is a more efficient way to solve this question. Put the three values ​​​​of abc..." Ma Hao wrote and drew in the draft book. Halfway through writing, he looked up at Xia Xiaotian, only to find that she had already wandered away.

Xia Xiaotian supported his chin with one hand, holding the black pen casually in his hand, writing unconsciously in the notebook.

Mahao poked her head over and saw that she had written and drawn two stick figures with the word "wood" on the footer: "Wood figures? What does it mean?"

"Huh? What?" Xia Xiaotian didn't realize the words he subconsciously wrote. He followed Ma Hao's eyes and saw the content of the footer, and his face suddenly turned red.

She quickly covered the footer with her hands, shaking her head nervously: "Nothing, nothing! It doesn't mean anything!"

There is no silver 300 taels here.With such a strong reaction, he said nothing, even the stupid system wouldn't believe it.

"What's bothering you? If you don't mind, I can be your trash can." Ma Hao touched the broken hair on his forehead with his fingers, showing a considerate and gentle smile.

[System: Ding!Warm reminder from the system that your close sister is online! 】

[Ma Haohao: Sexy sister, answering questions online. 】

[System: EXM, sexy?Someone upstairs, where's your face? (￢_￢)】

[Ma Haohao: No face. 】

[System: ...I am afraid of my mouth. 】

Ma Haohao's online Q&A is not nonsense.

As the saying goes, a bunch of love dogs and single dogs stay together. The love dogs are responsible for showing off their affection every day, while the single dogs...

Responsible for helping them answer emotional questions.

Ma Haohao, who has been soloing for more than 20 years, has rich experience in "love counseling". He is a professional-level consultant for all kinds of love, marriage, childbirth, and divorce issues.

[Ma Haohao: Xiao Shou, I just asked you if you are powerful? 】

[System: I believe your lies...]

……

Meeting Ma's good-looking eyes, Xia Xiaotian turned red and hesitated for a while before saying, "Well, slowly... do you want to go to a basketball game?"

basketball game?
In no mood.

Ma Hao opened her mouth to say "no", but was interrupted by the system in time and narrowly closed her mouth.

[System: Stop!The host, if you speak out, the water will be poured out.Think twice before you act! (．`ω)】

[Ma Haohao: What's wrong? 】

[System: Host, at your level, is there still someone consulting you about emotional issues? ←_←]

[Ma Haohao: Yes, they usually come to ask me how to break up with my boyfriend and girlfriend, and I heard that the results are pretty good. 】

[System: ○|￣|_... I'll just ask next, host, don't you see that the heroine wants to watch basketball? 】

[Ma Haohao: My heroine only cares about the hero and studying. 】

[System: Host, don’t you understand this?The male protagonist participated in the basketball game~]

[Ma Haohao: Impossible. 】

[System: Why are you lying to me, I saw the name of the hero on the team list below! 】

[Ma Haohao: ...This is not scientific. 】

Ma Haohao believes that the system will not make up random things, but the male protagonist in her novel does not follow the route of a sports boy, nor is he enthusiastic about sports, so why would he play basketball?

[System: Host, don’t you understand this? (｀_ゝ) The male protagonist participated in the basketball game because his half-brother was on the opposite team. 】

[Ma Haohao: Is there still such an operation? 】

[System: Host, think about it.Qi Zhan'an is a competitive person, and he can chase the heroine for several months just to break a bet.When his brother is on the opposite team, can he be invincible? 】

As soon as the system explained it like this, Ma Hao felt that the plot was on point.

In "A River of Pain", the hero is set to be an illegitimate child.Although the male protagonist is not keen on sports, he is very concerned about this brother's affairs. He likes to fight with his brother to the death. Now it is for favor, and in the future it will be for family property.

[System: Let me complain again... Host, what kind of messy settings did you write?Illegitimate son and half-brother, this is an old joke from many years ago_.]

[Ma Haohao: Xiaoshou, don't pay attention to the details. 】

There's nothing I can do about it, because this book is an old article from many years ago...

In those years, this setting of sadness flowing upstream was popular, and it was called the novel of youth pain.

If the heroine and the heroine don't have a tragic life experience, don't look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, don't jump off the building if they don't have a D-birth, and don't say "Can we not be sad", I am ashamed to say that I am writing a campus essay...

……

Ma thought about it carefully and immediately changed her face.

She grabbed Xia Xiaotian's hand, looked her in the eyes firmly, and said, "I want to go, I really want to go, I really want to go! Xiaotian, please let me accompany you to the basketball game!"

"..." Xia Xiaotian was taken aback by Ma Haohao's reaction.

Seeing that Ma Hao's expression didn't seem to be fake, she lowered her head shyly: "Okay... okay, then... let's go together after the second class?"
