During lunch break,
Li Kaile insisted on treating Zhou Chen to dinner.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Zhou Chen had no choice but to nod in agreement. After leaving the cafeteria, the two went to the restroom together.
As soon as they entered the restroom, Li Kaile took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and quickly handed it to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen paused for a moment, then pushed the cigarette back and said calmly, "I've quit."
He was a heavy smoker in his previous life, but after being reborn, he didn't continue smoking and chose to quit.
After all, he smoked too much in his past life, which led to bronchitis, interstitial pneumonia, and a variety of complications such as cough, phlegm, headache, and dizziness.
Some things, you only realize their importance after you've lost them.
In this life, Zhou Chen wants to maintain a healthy body.
"You should smoke less too, smoking is harmful to your health."
Zhou Chen reminded him.
Li Kaile was originally about to light one up, but when he heard Zhou Chen say that, he chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Chen, I won't smoke at noon."
Zhou Chen nodded; listening to advice is a good quality.
Because of their stinky tofu business, the two became increasingly familiar with each other, and Zhou Chen learned a lot about campus life from Li Kaile.
For example, Li Kaile knows all the gossip about which class has the prettiest girls, who plays basketball well, and who is dating whom. He is a veritable campus know-it-all.
Zhou Chen wasn't particularly interested in these things; he just listened to them as amusement, a nice spice in his life.
The two walked on the playground, where several students were playing basketball.
One of them saw Li Kaile and asked him if he wanted to fight, since they were only two people short.
"Brother Chen, can you play basketball?"
Li Kaile was somewhat tempted, but didn't know what Zhou Chen thought.
"I know a little."
To be honest, Zhou Chen was also itching to play. Come to think of it, he hadn't touched a basketball for many years, as if it were a sport that was quite distant from him.
However,
Once upon a time, he was also a passionate young man who roamed the basketball court, sweating and enjoying his youth to the fullest.
Because of those three ungrateful wretches, he gave up his studies and never touched a basketball again.
He even forgot that he was a person with hobbies.
basketball!
It used to be his most passionate hobby!
"Brother Chen, how about we go up and play a game with them?"
"good."
Zhou Chen did not refuse Li Kaile's invitation.
Soon, the eight people formed two teams: Zhou Chen, Li Kaile, and two other classmates they didn't know.
But it doesn't matter, everyone will get to know each other quickly after playing just one game.
"Brother Chen, catch the ball."
Li Kaile intentionally passed the ball to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen hadn't touched a ball for many years. Suddenly playing the ball brought back a strange yet familiar feeling. He dribbled the ball and passed the opponent in one smooth motion, but failed to make a layup.
Although he didn't score, Zhou Chen wasn't disappointed at all.
On the contrary, he was somewhat surprised by his own touch. His basketball skills, which had been rusty for so many years, were not as bad as he had imagined. After getting the basketball, the long-lost feeling came rushing back like a tide.
As it turns out, some things, once learned, can be easily demonstrated even after many years, once encountered again.
This is ingrained in your bones; even if you forget it, it's only a temporary forgetting.
Whenever he had the chance, Li Kaile would pass the ball to Zhou Chen, allowing Zhou Chen to score points.
The others could also see that Zhou Chen's movements were becoming more and more skillful. From missing the shot at the beginning, to making a clean two-pointer on the second attempt, to easily dribbling past his opponent and scoring again.
They realized that Zhou Chen was a basketball expert.
Actually, Zhou Chen was quite surprised by his own basketball skills. Not only did he quickly regain his old form, he also discovered that his jumping ability and reaction speed were far superior to before.
Although the reason is unknown,
But this feeling made him feel more exhilarated than ever before.
He felt like a fish swimming freely in the water, and naturally, his basketball skills improved with each game.
"Who's that tall guy? He plays basketball really hard!"
"I've never seen him before. He's really good at it, almost always hitting the target. His touch is terrifying."
"It's a pity he's a bit dark-skinned, but that doesn't detract from his handsomeness."
Many passing boys were attracted and stared at Zhou Chen on the basketball court, making various comments. Some girls stood by the basketball court, looking at Zhou Chen with excited expressions and starry eyes.
Li Kaile truly didn't expect that the older brother he recognized would play basketball so fiercely, it was as if he had cheated.
Is this what you call 'knowing a little'?
The opponent's jump shot was blocked every time.
That's incredible jumping power!
That's really scary.
If the two sides were evenly matched at the beginning, then as Zhou Chen got into the game, it became a one-sided and complete defeat for him.
The other two teammates, whose names I don't know, also passed the ball to Zhou Chen after they learned about his skills. As a result, Zhou Chen was able to score points frequently.
The people on the other side were almost crying from being beaten. Where did this god-like player come from?
He must be a top player in the provincial team; otherwise, how could he be so brave?
Not far from the basketball court,
Zhou Na and several female classmates were returning from outside the school. Before they could even enter the teaching building together, they heard cheers coming from the basketball court.
"It looks so lively over there, let's go take a look, there are so many people."
"Okay, I have no objection."
"I have no objection either."
The girls all agreed and then looked at Zhou Na in unison.
"Zhou Na, you can join us too. Watch for a few minutes, then we'll go back."
