Chapter 15 Basketball
“…”
Lin Qiyuan glanced at the "boyfriends" next door and felt that the two girls were not short-sighted, but blind.
He is so majestic and tall, how can he look like a gay?
But Zhou Yang, who is so beautiful, looks like a gay.
The gay Zhou Yang was already walking towards him with the packaging bag in his hand.
The mall itself has very good lighting, and the store turns on all the headlights to enhance the glossiness of the accessories.
And all these lights seemed to hit Zhou Yang who was walking towards them, so bright and dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at them.
With a delicate face and peach blossom eyes that always sparkled with light, she stared straight at Lin Qiyuan, as if releasing the energy that he had nowhere to put. Under such a seemingly affectionate gaze, Lin Qiyuan was rarely stunned.
Haha, as expected, a gay man with a gay nature.
"Brother, do you want to buy a tie?" Zhou Yang had walked up to him at some point.
Lin Qiyuan then realized that he had been holding a dark blue tie. He put it down silently and replied lightly: "Yeah."
There were quite a few people in the store, and most of the girls' eyes were more or less on the two handsome men. After a while, the shopping guide really followed their gaze and came over.
"Sir, do you want to buy a tie? Why don't you come and take a look at this one? The color is very luxurious and suits your temperament very well." Behind the waitress happened to be the two girls who had just talked about Lin Qiyuan. Now, they were getting closer to them by using the shopping guide's back.
"No need." Lin Qiyuan took a step back calmly, but got closer to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang kept a close eye on Lin Qiyuan. He knew that people with social anxiety would be uncomfortable in crowds, and would be completely at a loss if approached. Sure enough, Lin Qiyuan's self-protection mechanism kept him away from strangers. Fortunately, he wasn't completely at a loss.
Zhou Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time took two steps forward. He grabbed Lin Qiyuan's arm with one hand and protected him behind him, while waving his other hand: "We don't need a shopping guide, we can look at it ourselves!"
It was the first time that Lin Qiyuan was protected by someone. He was always a tough guy and didn't talk much, so he was the only one who was protected by others.
Zhou in front of him looked like a kitten with cute little teeth, meowing to protect the big tiger behind him.
Kind of cute, just a little.
Lin Qiyuan stepped back along the kitten, looking frightened.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang patted his arm soothingly.
This sentence and the series of actions by the two people made the eyes of the two girls leaning against the shopping guide light up, like a flashing light bulb of at least 100 watts.
The two exchanged glances, clearly communicating with each other through their eyes or...
Lustful thoughts.
The words were a bit impolite. Zhou Yang knew that people with social anxiety would feel uncomfortable facing the enthusiasm of strangers. For a moment, he just wanted to rescue Lin Qiyuan and didn't consider anything else. When he saw the shopping guide's face blushing slightly, he realized that his words just now were a bit too harsh.
"Um, I'm sorry..."
"Leave."
Lin Qiyuan interrupted his apology, pinched his cuffs with two fingers, and took him away.
"Um, brother... I was too worried about you just now, and I said something harsh. I haven't apologized to her yet!" Zhou Yang was dragged out of the store, and Lin Qiyuan only let go of his sleeves when he was about a hundred meters away from the store.
"What are you worried about me?" Lin Qiyuan's voice was mixed with a hint of doubt and a very slight smile, but on the surface he still looked as cold as ever.
"I'm worried about your social anxiety..." Zhou Yang suddenly remembered that the other party didn't know that he knew about his social anxiety disorder, so he quickly changed the subject, "Nothing, I'm just worried that the shopping guide will rip you off!"
Lin Qiyuan looked at him suspiciously: "Don't shopping malls clearly mark prices?"
Zhou Yang was stunned for two seconds: "Hey, you don't understand. You don't come to the mall often, so you don't know the shopping guide's routine."
Lin Qi originally wanted to ask what the trick was, but when he saw Zhou Yang's erratic eyes, he understood: "Go back."
"Don't!" But Zhou Yang felt that Lin Qiyuan had finally gotten better, and he should keep going. "I'll take you somewhere!"
This time, Zhou Yang grabbed Lin Qiyuan's arm and took him into the car.
"School?" The two got out of the car. A large plaque in front of the car read "The No. 1 School of Books."
"It's no longer a school." Shuxiang No. 1 School is a nine-year institution, and Qi Dongdong's nephew attended Shuxiang Primary School. However, due to city government planning, the area was to be demolished, and the entire school was relocated, leaving Shuxiang School vacant.
Everyone around here treats it as a free park because it hasn't been officially demolished yet. A security company is still hired to manage it, and someone cleans it regularly, so the entire campus is very clean.
It was only when Qi Dongdong kept complaining on WeChat about the annoying issue of his nephew transferring schools that Zhou Yang learned about this school.
Every school has a basketball court.
The two walked into the school gate and saw from afar several people who looked like college students occupying the only basketball basket and playing basketball enthusiastically.
Zhou Yang tilted his head and asked Lin Qiyuan, "Can you play basketball?"
"Yes." But unexpectedly, seeing his excited look, Lin Qiyuan added in his heart.
"Do you think playing basketball makes you feel better?"
Lin Qiyuan was about to say "no", but looking at the other person's expectant eyes, he decided to remain silent.
Seeing that he neither nodded nor shook his head, Zhou Yang assumed he agreed and continued, "So, you can't just stay at home all day. Go out and exercise more often, and talk to people. It can improve your social... mood."
"I'm in a good mood." Lin Qiyuan always felt that Zhou Yang's words were strange, but he could never see through his intentions.
Zhou Yang shook his head: "Not enough, I must make you feel better!"
The firmness in his words surprised Lin Qiyuan, and he suddenly had a bold guess: Could he really be gay? Or was he a gay who was interested in him?
If this is true, the other party's infatuation will definitely be wasted.
"I'm normal." His sexual orientation is normal, and Lin Qiyuan is determined not to give people a chance.
"That's great!" Zhou Yang stood up and said, "I'll go coordinate the venue!"
After saying that, without waiting for his answer, she trotted into the basketball court in a hurry.
“…”
Is he sure he understands my refusal? Zhou Yangxin thought.
A group of people had just finished a fight, and Zhou Yang went up to talk to a amiable fat man.
After a moment, the other person glanced at Lin Qiyuan's position and nodded twice. Zhou Yang gave Lin Qiyuan a victory sign, then bent his hands slightly, placed them in front of his chest, and waved them back and forth, beckoning Lin Qiyuan, just like a fortune cat.
What's wrong with not wanting to go there?
Seeing that Lin Qiyuan didn't move, Zhou Yang increased the amplitude of his waving, and stretched his body forward, with a hint of reproach on his face. Judging from his mouth shape, he seemed to be saying something like "Come here quickly". Now he no longer looked like a lucky cat, but more like a fierce little tiger.
He thought of the bastard Snowball at his parents' house. Unlike other cats, he was not lazy. He was both warm and cold towards people and cats. Sometimes he would stay in the house all day, and sometimes he would be happy all day. If others did not do what he wanted, he would get angry and act stupidly.
At this moment, Lin Qiyuan wanted to call his parents to ask if Snowball was still at home or had really become a spirit.
In the end, Lin Qiyuan compromised.
There were eight people on the opposite side, plus Zhou Yang and Lin Qiyuan, a total of ten people, just divided into two teams, and the two of them were separated into different teams.
Zhou Yang was on Fatty's team because when he was negotiating with Fatty, he hinted that he was a very good basketball player and had been on the school team. When the teams were divided, Fatty played a trick and made Zhou Yang join them.
But five minutes later, the fat man regretted it.
Sure enough, it still depends on the physique. The tall and strong guy opposite is obviously much stronger than this skinny guy.
Zhou Yang was indeed good at basketball during his college years and was invited to join the school team, but at that time he was busy taking exams to change his major and declined the invitation.
He played pretty well indeed, but he was still impressed by Lin Qiyuan's fancy dunks. It turns out that height and long legs are useful.
It turns out that what people say online is right, exercise really can make people forget a lot of things. For example, he almost forgot that Lin Qiyuan, who is playing basketball now, is his opponent, and Lin Qiyuan forgot his social anxiety.
The opponent scored frequently and was about to widen the gap. The fat guy from Zhou Yang's team was so anxious that his eyes were about to spit fire. Seeing Lin Qiyuan was about to stand up and shoot again, he used his strong body to hit him hard. The fat guy's body tilted and he fell heavily to the ground.
The fat man just hit him too fast and Lin Qiyuan had no time to react. Unexpectedly, the big human-shaped meatball deviated from the direction and did not hurt him at all.
He was stunned for a moment, and the goal that was within his grasp was taken away by his teammates.
"Fuck, are you here to play basketball or to show off your love? Why did you push me just now? I'm one of you, do you know?" The fat man was so angry that he had stars in his eyes and wished he could eat Zhou Yang up.
"Then who told you to hit my brother?" Zhou Yang felt guilty.
Zhou Yang was afraid that Lin Qiyuan might be injured, or that he might have psychological trauma and would be unable to recover, so he reached out and pushed the fat man away from Lin Qiyuan. However, Lin Qiyuan was obviously stunned for a long time and handed the three-pointer to his teammate.
"Also, did you use all your fucking strength? You're so small, and you almost broke my bone with just one push!"
"Oh, I'm a black belt in Taekwondo, the kind where strength and technique go hand in hand."
As soon as these words were spoken, several people who were eager to cause trouble immediately shut their mouths, and even Lin Qiyuan subconsciously pursed his lips.
"No more playing, no more playing, we've found an internal enemy!" another boy from the fat team, who had a slightly crooked neck, shouted.
Today's mission had been overfulfilled. Lin Qiyuan could slowly overcome his social anxiety through group activities. The "home remedy" given online seemed to be working. Zhou Yang apologized to the fat man and took Lin Qiyuan home.
Although Lin Qiyuan kept tilting his head to look at him along the way, and the inquiry in his eyes was enough to write an article about the problem, making him feel as if he had horns on his face, he still cooked for him without holding a grudge.
After taking a shower, Qi Dongdong called. Zhou Yang remembered that he had not yet told him that he had signed the contract, so he quickly explained it to him in a few words.
"Yangyang, you're amazing! How was your livestream just starting?"
"Oh, it's pretty good!" Zhou Yang dried his hair and opened the live broadcast interface on his computer. "I want to ask, has it been because I've been abroad for too long? What color are these colorful black and fresh white?"
