NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 44: Winning but not fighting
The time in the second grade always passes very quickly. Perhaps because I have the company of my friends, I am more familiar with the subject matter. Soon it is time for the annual Quidditch match again...
"This time I heard that the two new Weasley boys in Gryffindor are batsmen. They are very skilled. We'd better be careful!"
Captain Davis held his broom and reminded the players loudly and solemnly.
"understand!"
Everyone agreed with their rustling voices, and then checked their equipment, stretched their muscles, and prepared to set off.
In the first game between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, Captain Roger Davis didn't seem to care much, telling Qiu Zhang and everyone else not to pay too much attention and just treat him normally.
Qiu Zhang secretly curled his lips in dissatisfaction, feeling bad about Captain Roger Davis in his heart.
[Obviously Cedric is also very powerful, why are he only worried about Gryffindor and Slytherin! 】
As the whistle blew on the field, the Ravenclaw players were all ready to slowly step out of the rest area and into the field. The players quickly confirmed their positions on their brooms and flew in the right direction. .
Qiu Zhang flew around the field and stopped at the Seeker's initial position. He saw that Cedric on the opposite side seemed a little nervous. He squeezed the handle of the broom and clasped it anxiously, his eyes a little unnatural.
"Huh~ Seid, don't be nervous! Just do your best! You are the best!"
Cedric, who had lowered his head and looked down, suddenly raised his head, and his eyes met unexpectedly, and his eyes suddenly ran into Qiu Zhang's smiling, encouraging and gentle eyes.
Qiu Zhang's smile was bright and firm, and his eyes were like the crescent moon in the sky, crystal clear, which penetrated Cedric's nervous and restless mood, but was filled with an even stranger feeling and ambiguity.
"it is good……"
Cedric coughed slightly and looked away with a slight blush on his cheeks. After being encouraged and comforted by Qiu Zhang, he tried to calm down his nervous mood and turned his attention to the Quidditch game.
At the beginning of the game, when the Quaffle, Bludger, and Golden Snitch were released together by Mrs. Hooch, the players from the two colleges immediately focused on the balls they were responsible for. The chasers are chasing the ball, the batsmen are holding their bats tightly and are always ready to score, and the goalkeepers are also at their posts and ready to go.
Qiu Zhang stared closely at the Golden Snitch and almost let it fly out of Qiu Zhang's sight. After confirming the direction of the Golden Snitch, Qiu Zhang immediately controlled the broom and flew towards the location of the Golden Snitch. The speed was so fast that everyone even thought that the game was going to be over soon. It's about to end.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Cedric was also following closely behind, and he was about to catch up with Qiu Zhang at a very fast speed.
"It seems that Hufflepuff has a dark horse this year..."
The students in the stands began to guess who would win the first game based on their performance.
The golden snitch suddenly paused for a few seconds. Qiu Zhang was delighted and reached out to grab it. Unexpectedly, the golden snitch turned around and flew away ninety degrees at a very fast speed. Qiu Zhang didn't take back his hand and almost fell out. When Qiu Zhang couldn't control his body and closed his eyes, thinking that he was about to fall off the broom, a hand behind him pulled Qiu Zhang back.
"Are you OK?"
Cedric's expression was solemn and he frowned slightly, his eyes full of care and concern. Qiu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and raised his eyes to look at Cedric. He noticed that Cedric's eyes were filled with his own figure that could not be ignored, and he couldn't help but give him a reassuring smile.
"I'm fine, thank you!"
It was like an interlude. Qiu Zhang and Cedric separated for a while and then continued into the game to find the Golden Snitch. Except for the hard-to-ignore sighs and ridicules from some students in the stands.
The final winner of this game was Ravenclaw, but Qiu Zhang felt that it should have been Hufflepuff, because without Cedric's pull, he would have lost strength and fallen off the broom because he misjudged the direction of the Golden Snitch. .
"Great, come on today, win Gryffindor and Slytherin and have a dinner together to celebrate tonight!"
Captain Davis seems to have always been a little blindly confident and a little arrogant, but this may also be a kind of motivation and inspiration for the collective!
Qiuchang did not stay to cheer this short victory with his Ravenclaw friends, but then quietly went to where Hufflepuff was resting.
"Sed..." (whispering)
As soon as Cedric heard Cho Chang's voice, he immediately turned around and saw that it was indeed Cho Chang in the corner of the shed. He smiled tenderly at Cho Chang and then turned to explain goodbye to his friend. Then he shyly looked at Cho Chang under the teasing expression on his friend's face. Come.
"Autumn!"
Cedric and Cho Chang walked out of the shed together on the lawn away from the arena.
"Ced, today's winner should be yours..."
Qiu Zhang still couldn't get over the fact that he had caught the golden snitch through trickery. Cedric just smiled softly, staring down at Qiu Zhang, whose eyes were full of tangles in front of him, his eyes were warm and soft.
"Qiu Zhang, you have to believe that you can find the Golden Snitch and catch her. This is your talent."
The breeze blew slightly across the lawn, gently blowing Qiu Zhang's hair to his cheeks to block his sight. Cedric raised his hand and gently pushed Qiu Zhang's hair away from his face, and then calmly took Qiu Zhang's hands and grabbed his clothes. The little hands in the robe.
"Qiu! Even if I fail to pull you back on the broom, I can't confirm the location of the Golden Snitch and catch up with it as quickly as you can. You have to believe that you can catch the Golden Snitch one step ahead of me. That will prove you Worth this win!”
Cedric's tone was gentle and calm. Qiu Zhang inexplicably felt some warmth in the hands held tightly by Cedric, and the emotions in his heart were inexplicable.
Seeing that Cedric was even so humble and lowering himself in order to comfort himself, Qiu Zhang couldn't bear it any longer, ran into Cedric's arms, and tightly wrapped his arms around Cedric's waist. Cedric was just stunned for a moment and then laughed. , and also took the initiative to hug Qiu Zhang back.
"Ced, have you always been like this? So careless about yourself and caring about others..."
Cedric didn't answer, he just kept his gentle and gentle smile, but Qiu Zhang also knew Cedric's answer from this silence...
Qiu Zhang didn't speak. He buried his head silently into Cedric's shoulder, quietly feeling Cedric's company and tolerance...enjoying every moment with Cedric by his side...
