Chapter 130 She also said "I do" to him
The tall guy looked at his height and said, "You're quite tall. Do you play basketball?"
Li Zhen didn't look at Lu Xingchen, but at the tall man and answered, "Occasionally."
The tall guy raised his eyebrows and asked, "What position do you usually play?"
He replied: "All right."
Then the tall guy asked Lu Xingchen: "Do you want to re-divide the team and move Gao Zhengyu to the team with me and my girlfriend?"
"Need not."
"Need not."
Lu Xingchen and Li Zhen refused in unison.
Everyone just looked at them with a slightly strange look, and the tall guy said straightforwardly: "Let's see how many points we can play first. If the difference in strength is too big, we can change people."
Lu Xingchen didn't say anything to him, but after playing a few balls, Dagao asked for a substitution. It was a little difficult for him to save himself. Li Zhen realized that he was taking his anger out on his opponent.
Then he felt inexplicably ironic. Before, he was unwilling to admit that he and Lu Xingchen had the same views on many things, including studying, and they also had many coincidences, just like today when Lu Xingchen and he played a few balls together and they had a tacit understanding.
The two teams could understand each other's attack and defense, passing and running, and even the moves of feinting at each other.
The winner was decided by best of three games. The tall guy and his girlfriend, who had a very good understanding of each other, came over and shook hands in a friendly manner and made an appointment for the next time. Then the tall guy's girlfriend asked a question.
"Xingchen, you know this handsome guy, right?"
Lu Xingchen glanced at the silent Li Zhen and replied with a smile: "Let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Li Zhen."
Just this one sentence made Li Zhen's heart tremble and his whole body numb. All the troubles and resentments that had accumulated over the past two weeks disappeared without a trace in an instant. He suddenly wanted to scold Lu Xingchen severely, but he didn't know how to control these two extreme emotions. He just nodded slightly to those people.
Just then, Gao Zhengyu picked up a basketball and threw it over here. He caught it and made a casual three-pointer, but it missed. The ball hit the backboard and bounced out of the court with a bang. He took the opportunity to run over to pick up the ball to calm his uncontrollable heartbeat.
A tall voice came from behind, "Call your boyfriend to have dinner together."
Lu Xingchen turned his head to look at him who was picking up the ball, then smiled and refused: "Next time, we'll treat you next time."
The words "we'll treat you" made Li Zhen's heart soften even more.
The sun had already set over the mountain, and the sunset glowed on the court. Lu Xingchen stood at the three-point line and watched him pick up the ball. She was wearing a loose jersey, a high ponytail, and her hair at the temples was slightly wet with sweat from the exercise. The sunset cast a warm halo on her vibrant face.
Li Zhen was fascinated at first sight.
But the way she looked into his eyes and the smile on her lips made him feel embarrassed and unable to hide. His heart was pounding, and he felt a mixture of joy and resentment. He threw the basketball in his hand towards her.
Lu Xingchen caught it steadily and stepped back to the three-point line. The moment he raised the ball, his bright eyes focused on the basket and he threw the ball forward cleanly.
The basketball drew a perfect parabola in the air and then fell into the basket with a whoosh.
This ball seemed to hit Li Zhen's heart. He stood there unable to move. Lu Xingchen ran over quickly to pick up the ball, dribbled it beside him for a while, without saying a word to him, and then stood beside him and continued to shoot the ball.
Li Zhen felt that he had seen through her thoughts, and shyly and awkwardly raised her hand to cover her balls.
Lu Xingchen was not angry even though he was suddenly blocked. He smiled and went to pick the ball back. This action seemed like he was coaxing him.
So, she also knew that she shouldn't not contact him, right?
She also knows that she is going too far, right?
Li Zhen went to stop her with this logic.
Neither of them said anything. She was waiting for him to calm down, and he was waiting for all the emotions he had never experienced before to subside.
She wanted to break through him and make a layup, but Li Zhen turned around and blocked it!
Lu Xingchen was a little anxious about this ball. His body was blocked by Li Zhen and he fell backwards when he tried to force a layup. Li Zhen quickly reached out to pull him back.
Lu Xingchen was pulled back, but Li Zhen also fell forward. Although he slowed down Lu Xingchen's falling speed, he also pressed on her, and his lips just touched hers.
The soft touch made Li Zhen's body stiffen, and she was frightened and stared at him with wide eyes.
Their eyes met for a moment, and Li Zhen stood up in panic and distanced himself from her. The next moment, he clearly felt himself getting hot from his face to his ears.
Seeing this, Lu Xingchen's frightened face slowly revealed a sly smile, and as he looked at him, he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Li, you are kissing an underage girl."
Li Zhen was even more embarrassed. Lu Xingchen was already a junior, but a few days ago he heard from his classmates that she was only fifteen years old when she was specially recruited into Guangdong University.
Just looking at Lu Xingchen who knew his embarrassment but smiled even more happily, Li Zhen simply pressed his lips against hers again.
Because they had never experienced this before and it was their first time being intimate, he only kept his lips on hers and didn't dare to make any other moves. He stayed a little longer on purpose just to punish her before leaving.
Lu Xingchen's face was redder than the afterglow of the sunset. She just stared at him blankly. After a long while, she asked, "Does this count as me catching up with you?"
If he said no, then he would be a bastard for doing these things, but it would be embarrassing to say yes. Li Zhen looked at her for a moment and covered her lips again, this time not just touching them, but quietly keeping them for a moment, and then he couldn't help but kiss her slowly.
Night seemed to fall from the sky.
Li Zhen was lying on his back on the basketball court. Lu Xingchen, who was resting his head on his arm, looked up at the stars in the sky with him. Neither of them spoke. Li Zhen didn't know what Lu Xingchen was feeling at that time, but his heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it could jump out of his chest.
After a long time, he said to Lu Xingchen: "My father passed away due to an accident a few years ago. Now my mother is raising me, my sister and my brother alone. My family conditions are not good. I can see that your life is completely opposite to mine, but why did you choose someone like me?"
"A person like you? Don't you know you are excellent?" Lu Xingchen turned his head to look at him while resting on his arm, "I can foresee that you will achieve great things in the future."
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Is this the line you prepared for pursuing me?"
"No."
"Then why do you expect that?"
Lu Xingchen turned sideways to look at him and said objectively and confidently: "Let's not talk about other things. With the three papers you have published now and your grades and resume, you will be an expert engineer or scientist in a large company after graduation. Your annual salary will definitely not be low. This is my most conservative expectation for you.
But you seem to have chosen the path of entrepreneurship now, which will be more risky than joining a company, but also more profitable. Looking at the situation, in a few years, computers and the Internet will surely evolve rapidly. Your current abilities and direction are correct, so at most the first few years will be very difficult, but as long as you are not too unlucky, you will definitely achieve something.”
Li Zhen stared at her in a daze, unable to speak, because of shock and emotion.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Xingchen smiled and lay back on his arms and said, "Don't worry, with me here, your luck won't be that bad."
Li Zhen obviously felt that he was deeply moved, and couldn't help asking again: "But I have nothing now, are you willing to wait?"
Lu Xingchen looked at the sky with the stars reflected in his eyes and said, "Beautiful things are always worth waiting for."
Li Zhen was overjoyed. He turned around and lay down, looking at Lu Xingchen. He felt that she was full of hope and starlight. "Being with me means being together for a lifetime. Are you willing?"
Lu Xingchen was silent for a long time this time, and then said, "If, if one day you find out that I have made a big mistake towards you, and you are still willing to spend your whole life with me..." She turned her head to him and smiled with starry eyes and replied, "I am willing."
But he forgave her, for her mistaken belief in the relationship between Deng Peiling and his father, and for deliberately trying to snatch him, Deng Peiling's so-called "first love". Even in this situation, eight years after they broke up, he still couldn't forget to put down all his self-esteem and pursue her, but she told him:
"Didn't Deng Peiling tell you that I pursued you for other purposes and not because I liked you?"
"Even if I thought you were poor, had different values from mine, didn't share the same hobbies as me, and it was boring to be with you, would you still like me?"
"Just like you said you wanted to hate me but your heart was out of control, I am the same, even if you have everything now, my heart still can't fall in love with you."
"I do not like you."
