Chapter 46 Road God "Don't go."
soon.
Yan Ning stood in the same position as the one Lu Chen took in his photo in the video.
The sunshine makes people feel warm.
Yan Ning stared at the gymnasium gate for a long time, and only now did she realize what she had done in her impulse.
Among those who come to play basketball with Lu Chen, maybe there are classmates from No. 1 Middle School.
just in case……
Is there anyone who was in the same class with her and recognized her?
No wonder Yan Ning thinks too much.
Too many things are unexpected.
For example, on the day of the exam, Yan Ning fainted and hit his head, and was carried to the school hospital. This was treated as gossip on the school forum and caused some stir.
However, although the poster witnessed the incident, he was quite far away and did not recognize Lu Chen's identity. However, Yan Ning collapsed in public in the classroom, so his identity was quickly decoded.
Most of the comments below are well-intentioned.
Most of the advice given to Yan Ning was that overworking is not advisable, and he should take it as a warning and pay attention to his health.
Only occasionally there were one or two people who made some harsh comments, saying that she worked so hard but her grades were not outstanding, and she even disfigured herself just to pass the exam, which was not worth it.
Yan Ning was busy browsing the comments at the time, worried that Lu Chen's identity would be exposed and would have further impact on him. He just glanced at these insignificant words, read them, and forgot about them. He didn't care about it.
Fortunately, the online comments about this "unknown but brave student" were all positive.
Yan Ning did not stand up and say anything more.
Even when Xin Jing asked her about what happened that day, she vaguely said, "I don't remember."
So. Today.
Yan Ning was also afraid that further complications would arise.
But then again.
As long as she wasn't caught by anyone, she would be able to communicate with Lu Chen.
Who would know that she knew him and came to see him?
Besides, we are already here.
She really wanted to go in and take a look.
She hasn't seen Lu Chen play basketball yet...
Hesitate for a moment.
Yan Ning finally gritted his teeth, took out a mask from his bag, put it on his face, and walked towards the gate step by step with the courage of a hero.
To the indoor basketball court.
The venue was quite large, and there were quite a few people in the audience, but there seemed to be an especially large number of people in one place.
Yan Ning was originally searching the field.
There was a cry of surprise at the sudden explosion.
Yan Ning's attention was instantly attracted and he looked over there.
Then I saw——
The focus of everyone's attention.
The young man in the black jersey had just dribbled past the opponent when two defensive players in red jerseys came up to him.
He was attacked from both sides.
Only a few seconds remained on the timer.
Surrounded by enemies, the young man in black showed no sign of panic. Instead, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity, moved his wrist, and easily avoided the opponent's attack with the basketball.
The next moment, the young man swiftly turned sideways, cutting through the gap in the opposing defense! Then, without hesitation, he jumped up and shot.
Then--
Hollow into the net!
The halftime whistle sounded at the same time, the quarter ended, the scoreboard turned over, 40:42, the black team took the lead.
A burst of cheers broke out from the sidelines.
Some teammates came over and high-fived.
The young man in black turned around.
His black hair was soaked and his eyebrows were sharp.
It was a face Yan Ning was very familiar with, the purpose of her trip, and the person she recognized at first sight—
That person.
Yes, Lu Chen.
The moment this name appeared, Yan Ning heard his own heart beating violently.
After that.
Yan Ning sat at the highest point of the stands, away from the crowd, and watched the entire game.
In fact, she only knew the basic rules of basketball and knew very little about the professional and technical aspects, but when she looked at the young man playing recklessly on the court, she was easily brought into the atmosphere of the game.
This is a brand new Lu Chen, different from the usual ones.
Lu Chen is the main player of the black team and is also the most targeted by the opponent's defense, but this does not prevent him from scoring the most points in the game.
The score between the red and black teams has been very close.
At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two teams was 61:58, with the red team leading.
During the intermission, the tall and strong player of the red team who scored the three points in the end had a provocative smile on his face and said something to the black team.
Lu Chen is closest to this person.
It makes no sense at all.
But the teammate next to him, who was holding the ball and wearing a conspicuous fluorescent yellow wristband, immediately refused to accept it. He threw the ball heavily to the ground, and with anger in his eyes, he was about to "reason" with the other party.
However, Lu Chen calmly raised his hand, easily stopped him with one hand, and pushed him to his own rest area.
To the sidelines.
The teammate was obviously still angry, and in just one or two minutes, he said a lot to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen picked up the towel and wiped the sweat off his face a few times. Then he picked up the water cup and drank two sips of water. Then he closed the bottle cap, tilted his head, and said something to him.
It's amazing.
The teammates immediately fell silent, like dolls with their batteries removed.
Then, his expression became stern and he clenched his fists, looking as if he was encouraged and ready to do something big.
Even though Yan Ning was not a very curious person, at this moment, her curiosity was aroused and she wanted to know——
Lu Chen.
What did you say to your teammates?
It works so well.
Moreover, what cannot be ignored is that she couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of her lips. Her nervous mood, which had just become due to the black team's backwardness, seemed to be soothed by the words that Lu Chen said, which she actually didn't know what they meant.
The last section.
The game on the field became more intense, with the two teams chasing each other in the score, and the situation was tense and stalemate.
10 seconds before the final whistle.
The red and black teams tied 78:78, with the ball in the hands of the black team.
The black team launched a final attack, and the red team was ready to fight, obviously intending to drag the game into overtime.
6 seconds.
His teammate passed the ball and Lu Chen received it, but what he immediately had to face was a double-team quickly formed in front of him by the opposing defense again.
Outside the three-point line, Lu Chen stopped suddenly.
After using a fake move to easily avoid the opponent's attempt to grab the ball, Lu Chen leaned back and prepared to shoot.
The roars and cheers from the audience instantly blew the roof off.
but.
The next moment.
Unexpectedly——
Although Lu Chen's three-point shooting percentage on the court is already ridiculously high, even if he shoots the ball directly at this moment, the probability that the opponent's defense can stop it is very small.
When Lu Chen moved his center of gravity backward, he actually made a fake move - instead, he passed the ball sideways.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side, the defender had already jumped up to block the ball, so they could only watch helplessly as the ball was caught by Lu Chen's teammate who appeared nearby, unable to react in time.
That side is a vacuum area and there is no one defending it.
So, the teammate jumped easily and vigorously, and under the gaze of everyone on the court, the basketball drew a parabola in the air, hit the backboard, and then fell heavily into the basket.
The scoreboard flipped - 78:81.
at the same time.
The final whistle sounded.
The black team wins.
That moment.
The audience in front erupted in applause and cheers.
Someone in the crowd shouted a few times the name of the black team player who scored the buzzer-beating goal.
The team member scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and the fluorescent yellow wristband on his wrist was very conspicuous.
Immediately, he raised his arms and shook his wrists as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, directing everyone's attention to Lu Chen beside him. Then, with a hoarse voice and using all his strength, he took the lead and shouted a few times:
"God of the Road! God of the Road! God of the Road!"
The crowd, inspired by the cheers, quickly joined in. Soon, there was a unified momentum. Even the loudest shouter was a middle-aged man in his fifties in the first row. He leaned halfway out, his left hand on the guardrail, and raised his right arm, shouting "Lu Shen! Lu Shen!" at the top of his lungs, but without any rhythm, like a fanatic overwhelmed by the excitement of the game.
It was a lively and joyous occasion.
Yan Ning focused his attention back.
Only then did I realize that I had been holding my breath without realizing it.
The heartbeat was violently pounding.
She looked at the center of the field, at the young man in black who was the focus of the whole audience, high-fived his teammates, and easily dodged a bear hug from another teammate. She felt the blood in her body begin to boil.
She couldn't help herself and followed the crowd, shouting loudly: "God of the Road!"
It's probably a coincidence.
At this moment, the young man in black turned around and looked at the audience.
He looked straight ahead.
Facing the direction where she was sitting.
It was as if we were looking at each other from a distance.
Yan Ning's heart was empty for a moment.
The next second, the boy nodded slightly and calmly withdrew his gaze.
The crowd roared even louder.
At that moment, Yan Ning almost experienced firsthand what Xin Jing had said before, the feeling of an idol looking towards the audience at a concert.
It's true.
It will make people feel quite excited.
perhaps.
It's also a bit too exciting.
Yan Ning was just looking at the audience, watching Lu Chen walk to the sidelines, take a short break, interrupt his teammates, and say something to the tall and strong boy opposite who was obviously not convinced.
When the opponent suffers a defeat, the teammates immediately feel proud.
As for Lu Chen, he picked up the black sports bag with one hand, put it on his shoulder, and walked towards the door with a casual look on his face.
Several people around him followed.
Then, Yan Ning hurriedly remembered that today was Lu Chen's birthday, and he would probably spend it with his friends. Even if he went from the gymnasium to the park they had agreed on, it would take quite a while to go back and forth.
So, since she is here, it would be best to give him the gift here, which is the most reasonable itinerary arrangement.
Thinking so.
Yan Ning quickly took out his cell phone and switched to the chat interface with Lu Chen.
That sentence, typed quickly:
-[I'm at the basketball court. Let's meet somewhere empty.]
The cursor flickered, and before sending the message, Yan Ning quickly browsed it again.
There's nothing wrong with the first half of the sentence, but the second half—
The surrounding environment is noisy. Objectively speaking, it is difficult to find a place with few people. Moreover, the word "no one" seems a bit awkward...
She pursed her lips, pressed the clear key and quickly deleted the second half of the sentence.
When I looked up again, I found that Lu Chen was walking towards the passage under the stands, and his figure was about to be completely blocked.
As she got anxious, her hands began to tremble.
That first half of the message.
It was sent out directly like that.
Yan Ning: ...
Obviously.
I've been watching him for most of the day.
Why did she.
Not used to it yet.
I'm still so inexplicably nervous.
Without time to sort out these scattered thoughts, Yan Ning quickly reorganized his words in his mind and was about to add the following sentence:
-[Let's meet somewhere quiet nearby.]
However.
It pops up on the screen before the keyboard.
These are two new messages from L——
-[Don't go.]
-[wait for me. ]
That moment.
She subconsciously raised her eyes and saw the handsome young man in black standing in the distance, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and his eyes were once again looking straight towards where she was.
Just this time.
She understands.
Eye contact is no longer an illusion.
He saw her clearly and truly.
Because the next second.
Lu Chen curled his lips, raised his phone, waved it at her, and then casually threw his sports bag to the person next to him. Ignoring the curious glances of those people darting around like mountain monkeys, Lu Chen turned and walked straight to the other side of the venue.
There happened to be a path leading to the auditorium.
So, what he probably meant was:
I'm coming to see you.
Obviously, many people in the front row noticed Lu Chen's actions, and all kinds of excited, surprised, and puzzled discussions followed. These people looked very young, mostly girls, probably students, and it was very likely that some of them were from No. 1 Middle School.
Even two girls sitting together in the third or fourth row in front turned their heads sharply and looked towards the back, where Yan Ning was, the next second after Lu Chen waved at them.
Yan Ning reacted faster.
Before they locked eyes with her, she pulled up the hood of her sweatshirt and put it on, lowered her head, and acted like an ostrich.
She was now frozen in place, unable to move. It was difficult to leave, and it was also difficult not to leave...
After leaving, I have to find another place to send the gift.
If you don't leave, you will have to accept the baptism of public gaze.
She was feeling very nervous.
I'm struggling.
Suddenly, a clear voice with a slight breath rang in my ears:
"Sorry, have you been waiting long?"
Yan Ning was stunned.
Then he looked up in a daze, in disbelief—
Lu Chen is like this.
Appeared in front of her in an instant.
She sat in the seat facing the aisle.
And now, Lu Chen was in the aisle, one foot stepped to the step next to her, the other foot down, his whole body still maintaining a striding posture, slightly leaning over, with his elbows on his knees. It was obvious that he had just arrived and greeted her.
He must have come running. The hair on his forehead, which was soaked by the intense exercise, was gathered back, with only a strand hanging down from the corner of his forehead, revealing his sharp eyebrows and eyes, which added a bit of aggressiveness that was not usually apparent.
Also, because of that slight blush on his face.
At this moment, this face does not so much give people a sense of crisis as if they were being stared at by a wild beast, but rather looks like the kind of male monster that appears in ancient storybooks, a monster that transforms into a mountain spirit.
It also costs lives.
There are just too many male demons——
It has a bewitching and charming meaning.
Probably because she hadn't spoken a word, the "monster" in front of her withdrew his feet from the steps below and stood on the steps beside her, his hands still on his thighs, leaning over, his eyes filled with smiles, almost level with her.
Although it is not obvious on the face.
But his chest rose and fell much more than usual, causing his collar to slide down even further, revealing skin that even shimmered slightly...
Look further down.
That's not very polite.
