Seeing Lin Jianlu saw him, Yan Han shook the water bottle and finally sat with him on the bench next to the court.
Yan Han personally uncapped the water bottle and handed it to Da Lin.
"Here."
"Thank you."
After taking a sip from the bottle, Lin Jianlu wiped the sweat off his forehead with the towel he brought.
Frightened by Da Lin, whose hair was soaked through, Yan Han joked with him, "Didn't we say it was a friendly match? Why are you taking it so seriously?"
Lin Jianlu was silent for a moment before looking at him and saying seriously, "No, I would have practiced even if there wasn't this match."
"So you're...completely in love with basketball?"
"...Yeah."
"Oh no wonder, I was wondering how your level improved so quickly... You won't come here to practice every day this week, will you?"
He was also shocked when he thought of this, but he also felt that it was normal for Lin Jianlu to be so stubborn.
"I don't usually play for so long, I just come here to practice after school." Lin Jianlu: "After all, the dormitory closes at 10:30."
After saying that, Lin Jianlu took another sip of water.
Yan Han bought a functional drink that tasted sweet and sour, a little cool but not too cold, very suitable for replenishing energy after exercise.
"Hmm." Yan Han shook his legs and sat in a rather unrestrained posture.
Anyway, there were only him and Lin Jianlu here, and in such an atmosphere, the eldest brother's words and actions were very relaxed.
"Do you want me to practice with you?"
"Okay." Lin Jianlu was about to stand up again, but Yan Han held him down: "Wait a minute, take a break first, you just played for so long and need to rest, otherwise your knees won't be able to bear it."
Yan Han nagging, "You're not going to be a professional player to make a living, don't work so hard, or you'll get sick and what will you do?"
Under the dim street lights, his face was still bright, even the profile and shadows were just perfect. Lin Jianlu looked at him nagging from the side and couldn't help but curled his lips: "Okay."
Then there was a relative silence for two minutes. It seemed that it was really late, and he finally felt the coolness of the night. Yan Han gradually relaxed and continued to swing his legs: "I just had a self-study class and tried to find the teacher to ask questions."
"Well, then?"
"Then I found that I seemed to be used to your way of lecturing." Yan Han said in frustration.
Lin Jianlu's way of lecturing was not strictly based on the knowledge points in the book. He used more comprehensive knowledge to answer questions from a higher perspective, which was completely different from the routine of teachers who taught specifically for the college entrance examination.
This can be said to have both advantages and disadvantages.
But no matter whether it is good or bad, Yan Han has already gotten used to the way of learning by relying on live courseware and Dalin's explanation. Just now, he tried to ask the teacher questions in the evening self-study. He felt that the teacher's explanation was very detailed and specific, but it just didn't make him draw inferences and feel like he could swim in the ocean of knowledge.
Yan Han said desperately: "When we are not in the same class in the future, can I still ask you questions?"
"Not in the same class?" Lin Jianlu's focus was wrong.
"Yeah, after the placement test, you'll go to Class 9, so we'll be separated, right?"
"...We're not necessarily going to be separated."
"Well, you know how strong I am." Yan Han shrugged and said, "No matter what, I won't be able to get into Class 9 this time."
In fact, after realizing the reason and telling Lin Jianlu about it, he felt much better.
Big brother is not a sentimental person by nature.
Or he is a person who doesn't allow himself to be sentimental.
So as long as he comforts himself a little, Yan Han will think it over - let's separate.
Although they are no longer in the same class, brothers are brothers after all. They can still play and study together on weekdays and weekends. There is really nothing to be sad about.
As Yan Han was thinking about it, he heard Lin Jianlu say, "There is still a week left."
"... It's less than a week."
"Well, there is still hope if you try hard."
"Unless the top few dozen students collectively miss the exam." Yan Han laughed and started to talk nonsense again.
He thought the other party was comforting him, but he didn't expect Lin Jianlu to be serious.
Lin Jianlu suddenly asked, "Do you have all the books you need for the weekend in your schoolbag?"
"Oh, yes, what's wrong?"
"Come to my house tonight, it's time to give you a hell-like tutoring."
Yan Han: "..."
Why was Big Brother Lin so calm when he said this, but he seemed to be ready to fight? !
In the next two days, no, it should be said that until the class placement exam next Thursday, he really experienced a hell-like cruel training.
Although this kind of cruelty... sounds strange to describe.
In addition to the normal study and review tasks every day, Lin Jianlu found him more than one set of monthly exam simulation questions for each subject, and asked him to finish these questions seriously and in the specified time with the mentality of facing the exam.
This is originally a very difficult task. For example, it takes Yan Han at least an hour to finish a set of science papers.
But the good thing is that not all the questions in a set need to be done. Lin Jianlu will read all the questions first, and then mark the parts that need to be done by Yan Han. Sometimes there are only a few multiple-choice questions in a set of papers that need to be calculated, which makes the whole task much simpler.
It is said to be cruel because in addition to this, every time Yan Han corrects his own answers, Lin Jianlu will carefully "review" the test paper again.
Every time he looked at the test papers very seriously, no one knew what he was looking at, but Lin Jianlu's workload was obviously greater than Yan Han's, and his seriousness also surprised his elder brother.
Big Brother Lin, who never wrote questions and never practiced, suddenly took this set of mock questions so seriously... This made Yan Han wonder if Lin Jianlu had discovered some secret of the teacher's questions, for example, the questions for the class placement test were all selected from these mock questions.
So he took these mock questions very seriously.
Even before entering the examination room, he almost thought that the questions that Lin Jianlu asked him to do were the questions that Big Brother Lin personally gave him.
Although after entering the examination room... he found that the facts were not entirely as they seemed. Although some of the question types were similar, the vast majority of the questions were not within the scope of his intensive training over the past few days.
Fortunately, apart from the questions that Lin Jianlu had put on him, Yan Han still knew how to answer most of the remaining questions.
He had learned a lot of knowledge in the past six months, and after entering the examination state, he entered a state of simulated deep concentration. When answering questions, he no longer thought about whether he could answer the questions or the class division test.
Entering a state of oblivion, Yan Han only had the test paper in his mind.
Although he would still be disturbed from time to time, and his state was difficult to match with real deep concentration, it was enough for him to analyze and answer questions efficiently.
After finishing all the six subjects, Yan Han compared the answers with his classmates after leaving the examination room on Friday afternoon. He estimated in his mind that his score might be higher than he expected.
But even so, it was impossible for him to enter Class 9.
He knew that for the best students in the school, answering this kind of questions would not be a problem. This difficult test should not be difficult for the students in Class 9. For them, the only difference is who has a lower error rate.
So he is not in the same league as them, and he should not expect it.
Hey, of course, he can't be discouraged too early, what if the top dozens of students in the school are really absent.
Yan Han thought to himself.
After the exams on Friday, the school closed early, and the evening self-study was also cancelled. Many students were very open-minded. Anyway, the results would not be known until the weekend, so why not take this time to have some fun.
Many people invited each other to go out for dinner, shopping, and playing games. Yan Han was packing his schoolbag, and Lin Jianlu asked quietly, "Come to my house?"
"Okay."
The basketball game for the second grade will officially start next Monday. Originally, Yan Han wanted to teach Lin Jianlu some skills that he had learned for many years when he went to Lin Jianlu's house last weekend, but at that time, the two of them had studied in seclusion for two days at Lin Jianlu's house.
At that time, it was agreed that we should study to deal with the class placement test first, and then have basketball training next weekend.
So Yan Han agreed without thinking, and then the two of them strategically dawdled, packing their things, and waited until most of the class had left before they sneaked into the car that came to pick up Lin Jianlu.
Exam week didn't stop the gossip from flying around, and if someone saw him and Lin Jianlu leaving together after school...
it wouldn't be a big deal.
If someone really asked, he could just say that he was going somewhere else and took Big Brother Lin's car, and no one would think that he was going to Lin Jianlu's house for the weekend.
So after getting in the car, the eldest brother couldn't help laughing and couldn't help laughing: "We are called guilty."
"Yeah." Looking at the man lying on the back seat with his arms and legs spread out and laughing heartlessly, Lin Jianlu also curled the corners of his mouth.
Then Yan Han suddenly sat properly again, two long white legs together, covered with the hem of the skirt, only slightly revealing the knees, he made a gesture of holding his hands to his heart, winked at Lin Jianlu "coquettishly", and said in a pinched voice: "Men and women should not be intimate, I am going to your house to spend the night, what if others know, what should I do, Dalin brother, you have to be responsible for me!"
After saying that, before waiting to see how Lin Jianlu reacted, Yan Han burst out laughing.
He pretended for less than three seconds, and when he laughed, he completely returned to his true nature. Yan Han waved his hands and said: "No, I have goose bumps."
Lin Jianlu smiled at him, but didn't think he was wrong, just said to the driver: "Let's go."
Arriving at Lin Jianlu's house, he had a big meal that he had agreed with his aunt last week.
Every weekend when the young master comes home, the aunt finally has something to do and won't feel lonely, so every Friday she starts preparing food early.
In addition, Yan Han is coming this week, so she rolls up her sleeves and works hard, preparing a large table of nutritious and delicious dishes, which make Yan Han's stomach bulge.
It doesn't matter if he eats too much, the Lin family's garden is big enough, and he can digest it after walking around twice. What
's more, he can also help big brother Lin with some work, such as tidying up the room. Lin Jianlu comes back every Friday to clean his room on school days.
It was already very late when they finished cleaning up, so they went back to their rooms to rest. When they got up early tomorrow morning, Lin Jianlu would take Yan Han to the professional gym to practice playing basketball.
In fact, there is a basketball court in the backyard of Lin Jianlu's house, but it is too hot during the day. If you want to have fun, it is better to choose indoors.
The indoor venue is rented. It is a high-end gymnasium dedicated to the outside world. In addition to the basketball court, there are also professional venues such as badminton, billiards, bowling, etc. The decoration and equipment look quite luxurious, and are higher than ordinary gyms and stadiums.
I don’t know if it is because of the high level and high price that it attracts many wealthy people or social elites.
Many people come here not to play basketball, but to socialize.
So even on weekend mornings, the basketball courts are already crowded with people. Some come to watch the game, and some come to play. Yan Han and his friends still called Lin Jianlu yesterday to book a court, so that it was not occupied.
Therefore, there are usually no high school students who can come to this court to play, so when Yan Han and Lin Jianlu appeared here and were discovered to be two people enjoying a basketball court alone, they quickly attracted a wave of people's attention.
"Does this kind of basketball court charge by game or by hour?" No matter which one it is, the fee will not be low. Yan Han felt sorry for the money again, "Actually, you can play at your home or go back to school. How much does it cost to come here this morning!"
Lin Jianlu comforted him and said, "It doesn't matter. I got a card because I come here often during the holidays. I get more discounts, so it's not expensive."
Yan Han: "..."
In an instant, he felt like an old man who didn't want his children to spend money.
He wanted to say to Lin Jianlu: Brother Lin, you don't need to explain to me, anyway, you are the one who pays.
But since the money has been spent, let's not waste time. Throwing the bag aside, Yan Han began to do various stretching warm-up exercises.
If nothing goes wrong, the results of the class placement test should be released tomorrow. Whether it is to relax after studying hard for too long or to commemorate the last day of being a deskmate, Yan Han has decided not to think about studying today and concentrate on playing.
Yan Han is wearing a sportswear that the two of them bought together before. The thin and breathable fabric shows off his beautiful body. Needless to say, his appearance is so beautiful that he is the most beautiful guy in the audience no matter where he appears.
When he was warming up, Lin Jianlu followed suit. He wore a jersey, and his body, which was usually tightly wrapped in short-sleeved shirts and long pants in summer, was now exposed. It was inconsistent with his temperament, but it made him look taller and his limbs longer.
Because of this, they attracted a lot of attention when they were warming up.
