During the warm-up, many people were secretly looking over here, but both of them were used to being the center of attention, so they didn't feel any limitations or discomfort.
Yan Han told Lin Jianlu some of his experiences and skills he had learned while playing basketball.
He is not a professional player, but he has practiced basketball for a long time, so he can still coach Lin Jianlu.
The only difference is that he is not as tall as Lin Jianlu, and many professional skills he can perform rely on the explosive power of his body, while Lin Jianlu is different. The advantage of height allows him to save a lot of energy. Whether he is a forward or a back, he has a unique advantage, which is really...
enviable.
Time passed quickly while playing basketball with Big Brother Lin and explaining some essentials, and soon the morning was almost over.
After coming back to his senses from the sweat, the two of them sat in a row and drank cold drinks.
Lin Jianlu's ability to understand is amazing. He can easily explain many things to the other party, and he can also draw inferences from one example.
What's more valuable is that he can always calm down and transform the theory into his own strength through repeated practice, so he can improve so quickly.
"I guess Wei Ningxin is not as hardworking as you." Yan Han wiped his sweat and sighed.
After hearing this, Lin Jianlu paused with his arm holding the bottle, turned around and asked him: "Really?"
"Yes, Wei Ningxin has been playing for a long time and has physical advantages, but he may not be hardworking. If we really compare them, I think you have more potential than him."
No matter how well Wei Ningxin plays, in Yan Han's opinion, someone who can hit people with a basketball casually and doesn't care is not really passionate about basketball.
Such people have no awe for basketball, which is also the direct reason why he has been unable to change his attitude towards Wei Ningxin.
Compared to him, Lin Jianlu is really much better... Thinking of this, Yan Han also turned his head to look in the direction of Lin Jianlu, and saw that the other party was looking at him, and his figure was all in his pair of gentle jade-like eyes...
"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Yan Han asked with a blink, and wiped
his face with a towel again, as roughly as possible. Then he stopped quickly when Xiaowu was about to jump out and hit him - in order to prevent the facial skin from loosening, he was never allowed to wipe his face with a towel so vigorously.
Although the eldest brother can't remember it, he always makes this mistake.
Lin Jianlu said at this time: "You and Wei Ningxin... are you two familiar with each other?"
"Well, it's okay." It was a completely subconscious answer, and Yan Han suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time that Big Brother Lin mentioned Wei Ningxin.
When he was provoked before, when he and Wei Ningxin talked alone, and even when everyone in the class was scolding Wei Ningxin for his arrogance, Lin Jianlu was silent. He never mentioned him, but just played a game with him on the court silently, silently leaving the other party speechless.
Lin Jianlu has always been calm and self-restrained.
Not saying useless nonsense in front of people, not saying bad things behind people, this is indeed what Big Brother Lin can do.
As both are campus male gods, Lin Jianlu and Wei Ningxin are probably the kind of kings who don't meet each other. Yan Han even thought that he would never take the initiative to mention Wei Ningxin, let alone that he opened his mouth and asked not about basketball, but about his relationship with Wei Ningxin.
"......Not very familiar." The curiosity about Lin Jianlu in his heart came up again. Yan Han's dog stomach couldn't hold two taels of sesame oil. He asked bluntly: "Huh? Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Nothing." Lin Jianlu returned to his expressionless state.
"......Nothing what?" Yan Han insisted.
"I just think he should be very suitable for the type you like, and he has been pestering you recently, so..."
When he said the latter, Lin Jianlu frowned slightly, and Yan Han didn't notice it.
But even if he frowned a little more, Yan Han wouldn't notice it.
He "pu" a mouthful of water directly sprayed out, and then looked at Lin Jianlu in shock-he,
this, this, what is Big Brother Lin talking about!
What do you mean "he should be very suitable for the type you like"? ?
He knows that Wei Ningxin is a man! ?
Yan Han had heard similar words from many people before. To be honest, he was tired of hearing them and was immune to them. He no longer took them to heart.
But the problem is...
it seems that Lin Jianlu also knows that he is a man? ! !
Seeing him spit out a mouthful of water, Lin Jianlu quickly handed him a paper: "Are you okay?"
Yan Han: "..."
For a moment, Yan Han was confused. He thought that he might really be a girl.
Or maybe his memory was confused. Maybe Lin Jianlu didn't know his true identity at all. Everything was just because he was too lonely in this world and he imagined it.
But after a moment, when the basketball court with dense shadows was still in the residual light and he found Lin Jianlu sitting next to him, Yan Han also knew clearly that it was all true and he didn't hear it wrong.
He took the paper tremblingly, wiped his mouth, and asked calmly, "What do you mean by that?"
After asking, Yan Han quickly tilted his head back and drank a sip of water, trying to suppress his surprise.
Although he appeared very calm, his heart was actually beating all over. A drop of cold sweat mixed with hot sweat ran down his forehead. This level of tension was no less than the tension he felt when his gender was suspected.
It felt terrible to be known as a gay by a male friend.
He would never forget the scene when he broke up with his best friend because of this.
Oh, it should have been said that he was once his best friend.
That feeling was more than just embarrassing.
There was also the shame and sadness... Now thinking of the other party's shocked and unconcealed contemptuous look at that time, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into...
Yan Han felt that he was such a face-conscious person that he really couldn't bear to crawl into the cracks in the ground.
He lived very well in this world. With a mentality of not talking about love and having the courage to save his life, he said before Lin Jianlu spoke again: "What are you thinking about? I didn't expect that you, Brother Dalin, would also discuss this kind of thing."
He said this with a smile, and his expression was no different from when he was joking, as if he thought Lin Jianlu was joking too. He added, "Wei Ningxin and I...how is that possible? Have you forgotten? I can't be exposed. How can I fall in love with someone?"
...
It seemed that the more he spoke, the more problems there were.
This explanation made no sense, and coupled with his current attitude, it was like someone's secret was exposed and he was eager to deny it!
Yan Han felt like slapping himself in the face!
But if he was asked to say that he was not gay, or that he didn't like boys...
big brother couldn't say it no matter what.
A long time ago, as early as in the last world, he knew he was right.
Even when he was beaten and sent to the hospital after going out with his father, Yan Han knew he was right.
It was the secular perspective that was wrong, he thought.
Even though he couldn't change other people's views of him, he couldn't deny his sexual orientation just because he wanted to be accepted by the world.
If even he himself denied it, then he would really be a monster in people's eyes...
He thought, he didn't really have any advantages, just a hard-headed and stubborn character.
He could be forced to bow his head, his spine could be bent, but the cognition in his heart could not be bent or broken.
He could not mention it, but he could never deny it.
This was Yan Han's last bottom line.
So he didn't want to deny it, nor did he want to make things worse. Yan Han could only say: "Besides, you understand me the best. If you don't complete the task, I, your brother, will die. With a knife hanging over my head, how can I have time to like someone, hahaha!"
He started to laugh wildly with his hands on his hips, and his attitude was completely like he thought Lin Jianlu was joking with him, so he joked back.
Thus, the question that the protagonist of Lin Jianlu's question was Wei Ningxin was completely skipped, and then the effect of "it's just a joke anyway, who cares if you are talking about a man or a woman", "gender is not important, I just want to learn" was achieved.
Then Yan Han smiled and observed Lin Jianlu's reaction.
As expected, Lin Jianlu did not mention it again. Just like when he joked with him in a casual way in the past, the other party just raised his lips and smiled lightly, showing tolerance and helplessness, and there was nothing else unusual.
Yan Han was slightly relieved.
Coincidentally, at this time, two aunts in sportswear suddenly ran over and chatted with them.
"My two little classmates, seeing that you are having so much fun, are you interested in playing with the uncles here for a while?"
Actually, calling them aunt is a bit too much. These two people look to be in their thirties at most, and they are in good shape. They should be called sisters.
The sisters looked over and first looked at Yan Han, and then looked at Lin Jianlu. It was obvious that the focus was on the latter.
However, this did not stop Yan Han from standing up from the chair and said, "Okay."
Then he took the two big sisters and walked towards their venue.
Only the back of Lin Jianlu was left.
He was really panicked. He had only experienced such panic a few times in his life. It was like he had used all his acting skills in his life, but he was still incoherent. Now thinking back, he didn't remember what he had just said. He
secretly wiped his sweat, hoping that Brother Dalin would not bring up this matter again to scare him.
He didn't care what others thought or said. To be honest, he had never been so nervous even when his father beat him with the strength of two rolling pins.
Yan Han wiped his sweat again and soon came to the other side's field.
The two big sisters were still a little reluctant to be pulled back, but they were also curious about Yan Han and couldn't help asking him: "...Are you friends with that classmate?"
You can't blame them for using "you" directly when asking questions without a subject. It's really that they don't know how to call Yan Han.
Because after staring for a long time, they couldn't tell the gender of this little classmate.
"It's a classmate." Yan Han said rather coldly.
He is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to see things, and he can see that this group of people is going for Lin Jianlu.
It's not surprising that people who come to this club to play basketball know Lin Jianlu, they just try to get close to him, he knows that.
Yan Han just wanted to get away from Big Brother Lin and take a breath, he didn't really want to play with them.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to go back, a male compatriot who was in the same group as the two older sisters tried to persuade him to stay:
"Hey, classmate, since you're here, why don't you play for a while. I see that you have good skills, play for a while!"
Yan Han: "..."
Informal games are just about throwing the ball around, especially when the opponents are so lousy, so in the end it became Yan Han's show of skill.
While he was shooting fancy shots, Lin Jianlu was still sitting there. The corners of his lips had fallen back to their original positions. He would occasionally look up at Yan Han on the court, but most of the time he would keep his eyes down and not move. Outsiders didn't know what he was thinking.
Only Lin Jianlu knew how much he regretted at that moment: "I mentioned this to him, and he didn't seem to like it."
If he had known earlier, he would have continued to hold back and not asked.
But that feeling was too uncomfortable. He didn't know if the other person already had someone in his heart. Once he thought that one day Yan Han might smile at another person and share secrets with another person, his heart felt like a spoonful of magma was poured over it, warming his heart and making it ache and rise. It
was not until a long time later that Lin Jianlu realized that this feeling was called jealousy, also called jealousy.
The voice in the head tried to comfort: [It’s okay, the host is also experiencing love for the first time, everyone is inexperienced sometimes.]
“…”
[So what are you still hesitating about? You know that he likes boys, which means he may like you, but you still don’t pursue him!]
“But he just said that he just wants to learn.”
[So?]
“So?”
[I didn’t expect that the host, who is extremely smart, would have such a stupid brain sometimes. Love can really make people blind and lose their minds.]
“…”
The voice in his head continued in a hoarse voice: [Whether he wants to fall in love is his business, whether you like him is your business, will your pursuit of him delay his studies? Do you think your love will delay his studies? ]
"..."
Lin Jianlu carefully pondered the other party's words in his mind and felt that there was still a conflict.
He was confident that he would not delay or affect the other party's studies, but just like all people who are in love for the first time, they are nervous and trembling when facing their beloved objects, he is also very afraid that the confession will fail, and in the end they can't even be friends.
Even though I know that Yan Han will not break off his relationship with me because of his personality, and he will most likely change the subject with a laugh like he did just now, sometimes you have to think carefully even if the possibility is only one in ten thousand, or even almost zero.
Even Lin Jianlu knows that probability theory is not applicable here.
[…Then you can slowly infiltrate and explore his mind! Silly child, don’t you find that his reaction just now is very strange? ]
"What do you mean?"
[When I was explaining that long conversation to you! ]
The voice in my head said excitedly.
Whatever, the host fell in love all of a sudden during this period of time, and it was so happy!
The host who can make rules for himself, why would he ask for its opinion before?
It was different now. Although he might not really go east if I told him to, at least he would take my suggestion into consideration.
Really... a teachable kid!
While the system was smug, Lin Jianlu was still lost in thought. He pursed his lips tightly, as if he had encountered some kind of worldly problem. It had been a long time since he had been so racked
in his brain - replaying Yan Han's words frame by frame in his mind, not missing the other party's expression, and all the changes in tone.
Then he really felt very strange.
The other party did not directly answer the question about his relationship with Wei Ningxin. He did not mention it at all. Instead, he repeatedly emphasized that he could not fall in love now because he could not be exposed and because he had to learn...
This kind of attitude was completely evasive... In other words, if these factors and considerations were excluded, he might have been with Wei Ningxin? !
Realizing this, Lin Jianlu's eyelashes trembled wildly and he suddenly raised his head to look at Yan Han in the field.
At this moment, the heartless man had completely forgotten the little embarrassment just now. He was sweating and receiving applause in the field. He could easily show his charm even among a group of uncles who were ten or twenty years older than him...
Lin Jianlu suddenly knelt down and stood up from where he was.
At this time, the two big sisters who originally wanted to invite them to play ball, but only took Yan Han away, turned back and came to him unwillingly, smiling and introducing themselves: "Hello, Master Lin, we are from Huayu Investment..."
"Sorry, I'm busy now." Lin Jianlu's voice was cold, as if he could freeze people with ice at any time.
For the first time in his life, he walked past the two people in such an indifferent and expressionless manner, and walked directly to the court with his long legs.
In the court, Yan Han had just shown off a fancy pass and took the basketball out from under the bend of his raised leg. Before the leg landed and stood firmly, he was grabbed by Lin Jianlu.
Because of the sudden instability of his center of gravity, he fell into Lin Jianlu's arms in full view of everyone. When he came to his senses, Yan Han looked up at him, a little confused and a little nervous, and asked with big eyes: "What are you doing?"
Lin Jianlu: "Come with me, I have something to ask you."
Yan Han: "???"
