Chapter 47 He said, "I heard it."
Yan Ning quickly stopped looking and, as if to cover up, turned her head and grabbed the plush backpack on the seat next to her. She subconsciously wanted to move over there as well.
"Would you like to sit for a moment?"
Although it is a question.
But because Yan Ning still felt a little guilty, she didn't think much about it and vacated the seat where she had just sat.
Lu Chen paused for a moment before he said, "Okay."
What he was thankful for at this moment was——
fine.
He just turned back and snatched the antiperspirant spray that Jin Zishuo was using from the hands of Jin Zishuo, who was unaware of the situation, and sprayed it on himself in the corner under the stands.
He is now.
There shouldn't be any unpleasant smell of sweat on your body.
So, Lu Chen sat down.
The boy who had exercised felt hot all over, and a refreshing mint scent mixed with citrus flavor came from him.
Yan Ning couldn't help but be distracted, thinking belatedly, what he had just said -
so.
What does he have to apologize for?
It's clearly her.
Without any notice, he suddenly showed up early.
Even if there is a mistake, it should be hers.
"No, no, I didn't wait long..."
Yan Ning stuttered, hurriedly answered his previous question, and tried to explain why he was here.
Lu Chen's eyebrows curved when he heard this.
"That's good."
Meet those dark eyes.
Yan Ning unconsciously swallowed back all the words that had not been organized in the first place.
It seemed as if he could see that she was hesitant to speak.
Those dark eyes curved slightly as usual.
After two seconds of silence.
Yan Ning strangely felt a little more relaxed.
But soon.
Not far away, there was a figure flashing in the next passage, and the touch of the plush thing in my arms, and the various obvious and hidden sights in front and around me that were hard to ignore as soon as I turned my eyes.
All of this made Yan Ning suddenly come back to his senses and remember where he was.
To be the center of attention.
Yan Ning was obviously not used to it.
She couldn't help but get nervous again, swallowed her saliva, lowered her head to look through her bag, and whispered to Lu Chen beside her, "I'll give you the gift now."
Lu Chen noticed her discomfort.
While the girl next to him wasn't paying attention.
He looked at several people in the front row with cold eyes, and the warning was obvious.
The number of blatant glances in this direction immediately decreased a lot.
At the same time, Lu Chen asked softly to the person next to him in a gentle and easy-going manner:
"How about we go outside?"
Yan Ning paused while rummaging through her bag and turned around, only to be met with Lu Chen's harmless gaze.
She glanced at his short-sleeved shirt and shorts, then thought about the extremely low temperature outside - it was totally unsuitable.
then.
She shook her head quickly, "No, just stay here."
Lu Chen nodded obediently.
And immediately, he also realized some of the benefits of sitting in the stands here.
The location is very close.
people.
seem.
That's fine.
Blatantly and naturally, getting closer...
He unconsciously exerted a little force on his hands placed on his knees, as if using the pain to remind and suppress something.
Yan Ning didn't notice these subtle changes in the people around him at all.
Because she was concentrating on taking the hairband out of her bag.
Now, there is only a layer of transparent bag outside the headband. In fact, she had originally prepared a folding gift box to use for packaging.
However, she looked at Lu Chen's pockets, which didn't look like they could hold a box, and she didn't want him to wait here too long or be watched by others for too long, so -
Yan Ning quickly handed the hairband to Lu Chen, and at the same time, lowered his voice as much as possible, almost whispering, and said:
"Happy birthday!"
Because she was sitting next to the person, she just stretched out her hand and directly put the thing in front of the person next to her.
Lu Chen's gaze immediately fell on the neatly stacked dark blue square.
Of course he knew what it was.
It was a birthday present from her.
But I don’t know, and I’m really curious, what exactly it is.
Thus, his mind was distracted for a moment.
Besides, people were changing seats and heading out the door. In the commotion, he really couldn't hear what she said clearly, so he asked, "What?"
While accepting the gift.
Lu Chen also moved closer and put his ear close to him.
That moment.
Yan Ning once again clearly saw the small mole behind his ear.
She was inexplicably nervous and swallowed unconsciously. At the same time, she felt a little annoyed, mistakenly thinking that he was teasing her again.
So, she moved closer, turned up the volume of her whisper to the maximum, and whispered in his ear:
“I, say—
Happy birthday to you! "
There was a light breath, passing by my ears like a feather.
That tingling feeling.
and the warmth that comes with it.
In an instant, it reached my heart.
Almost as if to cover up, the boy hurriedly raised his hand and vigorously rubbed the ear that was about to become ripe. Then, he tilted his head and pretended to be calm:
"Oh, I'm going deaf."
Yan Ning thought she had really scared someone, and panicked. He quickly sat up straight and asked with concern:
"Are you okay? I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it!"
Because of this action, the hat on her head tended to slide back, revealing the small red scar on her forehead.
Yan Ning actually didn't think much about it. Her almond-shaped eyes still showed obvious guilt. She waited for Lu Chen to reply. At the same time, she reached out and pulled her hat back on her head.
The reason she wore the hat was simply because she felt that—
Although there are masks.
But it seems easier to recognize a person by his hairstyle.
Also, she blinked and thought for a moment. She was thankful for this outfit, which was bought by Lin Xinci some time ago. Today was the first day she wore it, so no one should recognize her.
However, Lu Chen also misunderstood this behavior.
Lu Chen, who originally wanted to continue playing the innocent role, immediately restrained his expression.
His eyes darkened and he asked softly:
"Does it still hurt?"
Yan Ning was stunned for a moment, then followed his gaze and realized that he was asking about the wound on her forehead.
She shook her head hurriedly:
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good."
Although he said this, there was no trace of relaxation in his tone or the look on his face when he looked at her.
So that moment.
The guilt in Yan Ning's heart suddenly doubled.
She really did.
It really shouldn't be.
Because I was in a state of confusion, I didn't contact him to let him know that I was fine...
The surroundings were as quiet as a vacuum for a second.
"that……"
"must……"
The two of them spoke at the same time, and then stopped talking at the same time.
Although Lu Chen signaled with his eyes to let her speak first, Yan Ning shook her head and said, "You go first."
"It will get better slowly."
Those dark eyes stared at her, and then he raised his chin slightly and pointed to the right side of his jaw. "I slipped in the park before, and it was injured here by the iron sheet. I had stitches, but now you can hardly see anything."
Lu Chen's voice was so firm, but his speech speed was much faster than usual. Rather than comforting her, it was more like he was holding a large bottle of reassurance in front of her in a second.
There, he pointed to the skin of his jaw.
It is indeed very smooth.
At this moment, Yan Ning finally reacted slowly. His concern, his usual attentiveness and gentleness, seemed like too many words to express, suddenly flooding her mind, yet she was at a loss for words...
Moreover, there are too many people around us to consider.
She finally nodded and said softly:
"I trust you."
Those dark eyes finally bent slightly again.
Afterwards, the brief gift handover ceremony ended, and Yan Ning had no reason to stay here any longer.
Although the number of eyes in the audience seemed to have decreased, the heads that popped up from time to time, looking over like moles, were still so strong that she couldn't ignore them.
She also didn't want to keep his friends waiting too long.
Lu Chen said he would send her out.
Yan Ning immediately refused, "No, it's too cold outside, you stay!"
So, after saying goodbye, Lu Chen stood obediently in the aisle behind the seats.
Yan Ning waved his hand, turned around and walked forward.
The exit is not far ahead.
Halfway there.
Unable to explain why, Yan Ning subconsciously turned his head and glanced behind him.
It was still the entrance of the passage, and the young man, with a figure as slender as a pine tree, was still standing there. The moment his eyes met hers, he tilted his head and his brows relaxed.
Then, the next second.
Yan Ning seemed to be bewitched, with an irrepressible urge in his heart.
then.
Then, regardless of everything, ran towards him.
The moment she stopped, she immediately poured out everything she was thinking at that moment, like pouring beans, and couldn't wait to tell him:
"Lu Chen! I forgot to mention what happened at school last time. Thank you!"
"Also, you played really, really cool today!"
Yan Ning held his breath and finished speaking in one swift motion.
Considering the surrounding environment, she didn't dare to speak too loudly.
She looked up again.
Only then did I realize that Lu Chen's expression seemed a little blank.
Oh no.
It can't be.
Is her voice too soft?
"You didn't hear clearly again, or I..."
She hadn't finished speaking yet.
Lu Chen leaned forward slightly to shorten the distance.
He seemed about to say something.
She subconsciously stopped and listened.
Then the man lowered his head and moved closer.
He lowered his voice so low that only the two of them who were so close could hear it, almost like whispering in her ear.
He said:
"I heard it."
Yan Ning nodded.
Then, she took a step back stiffly, and woodenly said to Lu Chen, who was still leaning over, his eyes almost fixed on hers, "Goodbye."
After that, I didn’t pay much attention to whether the other party followed the procedure and responded with goodbye.
She was like a puppet whose next step was programmed: she turned around, walked straight, and then turned again.
Until I walked out the door.
Blown by the cold wind.
Yan Ning paused before raising his hands to cover his face.
His ears turned completely red.
This, this, this...
I hadn't discovered it before today.
Why is it that she lacks self-control?
-
On the side of the court.
Because he was unlucky just now and received a glare from Lu Ge when he was taking a peek, Jin Zishuo didn't dare to commit the crime again and went to see what was happening in the audience.
But at this moment, Jin Zishuo couldn't help but say,
"Who is that girl? She ran to Brother Lu like a little butterfly, and Brother Lu was smiling so happily."
He asked the two boys next to him. Both of them were former students of No. 12 Middle School. They had known Lu Chen for a long time and had always had a good relationship with him, but they both said they didn't know.
Jin Zishuo's face was full of regret and disappointment.
"You two don't know, could it be that Brother Lu just met him?"
Fu Jianzhi leaned against the wall, feeling a little bored, looking down at his phone. Upon hearing this, he casually said:
"Let's change the subject. How about you tell me what your brother Lu said to you when he stood between you and Fatty when he left the court in the third quarter?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Jin Zishuo immediately became energetic again.
"Ah, what Lu Ge said is—"
He cleared his throat and tried his best to imitate Lu Chen's calm yet arrogant tone:
"If you have the strength, go face him next time and beat him to death."
After Jin Zishuo finished his imitation, he immediately switched to his own admiring state:
“Fuck, Brother Lu is so handsome!
Also, you fat guy, you already lost the game, and you still dare to come here and rant, you deserve to be scolded by Brother Lu until your face turns pale, it makes you feel relieved, haha!"
The guy nicknamed "Fatty" is the tall and strong boy from the Red Team who came to provoke us.
His real name is Gao Haotian, and he is also a student at No. 1 Middle School. He is notorious for his bad mouth. He relies on his physique to talk bad words everywhere, bully the weak, and stir up trouble.
But this person just suffered a big setback at the hands of Lu Chen.
The game is over.
When both teams left the field.
Gao Haotian deliberately walked over to the side of the black team, who were celebrating by high-fiving. With his nose in the air, he said in a snarly tone, "It was just a lucky win. What's there to be so proud of?"
Jin Zishuo, who was the most easily irritated, didn't even have time to attack.
"There's a police station and a hospital nearby."
Lu Chen turned his head and faced Gao Haotian. He casually moved his wrist and continued coldly, "You pick one and I'll take you there."
You know.
It has always been——
The winner goes to the police station, the loser goes to the hospital.
What Lu Chen meant was that he had both ways to send Gao Haotian away, which fully demonstrated his contempt for the other party, and even his disregard, from the aspects of intelligence and physical strength.
How arrogant.
What a sassy taunt.
Even Fu Jianzhi, who felt that his words were quite sharp, couldn't help but applaud at that moment to express his willingness to admit defeat.
The two crisp applause finally brought Gao Haotian, who was standing there in a daze, back to his senses.
However, Gao Haotian's expression kept changing, and he swallowed the curse words that were on the tip of his tongue when Lu Chen looked at him calmly.
Gao Haotian finally said nothing, his face flushed red, and strode towards the door.
Now.
I saw a tall figure coming from the aisle of the auditorium.
Fu Jianzhi turned off his phone, looked at Jin Zishuo who still didn't know the truth, and brought the topic back to the topic, joking:
"As for when Brother Lu and Miss Butterfly met, that depends on your purpose."
Jin Zishuo said innocently, "Ah, nothing, I'm just curious and just want to get to know you."
Mingyan saw that Lu Chen happened to hear these words.
Fu Jianzhi snapped his fingers and laughed, "Bingo, congratulations—wrong answer."
at the same time.
Jin Zishuo felt a sense of relief on his shoulders, and when he turned around, he saw Lu Chen reaching for his bag.
Jin Zishuo was startled, and immediately realized that Fu Jianzhi had harmed him. After cursing inwardly, he quickly explained, "Brother Lu, heaven and earth are my witnesses, I really didn't mean any other things!"
Lu Chen opened the innermost zipper of his backpack and put the hairband away safely. Then he looked up at Jin Zishuo and smiled:
"You don't need to know."
After saying that, he glanced at Fu Jianzhi who was standing beside him.
Fu Jianzhi spread his hands and pretended to be stupid.
Coincidentally, Fang Ze'an, who had to go to the toilet urgently after the performance, came back.
Fang Ze'an missed everything and arrived late. He heard this sentence and was puzzled:
"Ah, who is it?"
Lu Chen didn't answer and put on his shoulder bag.
"Leave."
Fu Jianzhi fell last, and in his mind, like beads on a string, he began to count the things that happened today -
This group of people and the match with the fat guy and his group were actually put together at the last minute.
I heard that the original opponent on Fatty's side broke the appointment, and Fatty started cursing and mocking them in the circle of friends. Someone on Lu Chen's side saw it, and then Lu Chen decided to fight with Fatty and his friends.
The black team was formed at short notice, so it's inevitable that everyone's cooperation is not that tacit.
The game was difficult. Lu Chen changed his usual steady style of play and played very aggressively. The fat man's extreme reaction was actually closely related to the fact that Lu Chen always targeted him and pressed him on the court.
In the end, Lu Chen dragged the plane by himself and actually led them to victory.
He also admired it.
However, as a classmate from another city and another school, although he and Lu Chen only knew each other through playing basketball and were not very familiar with each other, he also knew that today was Lu Chen's birthday.
What birthday person doesn’t celebrate his birthday well?
Do you have to make yourself unhappy on the court?
The girl who appeared at the scene and Lu Chen's expression of sunshine after rain.
It was like a puzzle game, with important clues and hints, allowing Fu Jianzhi to happily come to the conclusion -
In between.
Surely, there is a connection.
