At that moment, at the school’s basketball court.
Lin Yi and the others were playing basketball with the guys from the other classes.
He took the ball, passed it, took a three-step take-off, and then a slam dunk. His movements were smooth and elegant, causing the girls around to scream.
It was just that Lin Yi no longer had his usual sunny smile on his face. Instead, he had a straight face. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions, and there was an unmistakable hint of depression around him.
Throwing away the basketball, Lin Yi turned around and walked to the side of the court. As he passed by someone, he acted as if the other party didn’t exist and had his shoulder slam into him.
That person frowned and revealed a displeased expression. But just as he was about to flare up, Yan Tian rushed over and stopped him.
Yan Tian smiled apologetically and said embarrassedly, “Sorry, he’s not in a good mood. Please forgive him!”
Although they weren’t in the same class, they often played basketball together in between classes. Lin Yi’s temper had always been good, and he never got angry even when he lost.
The boy nodded helplessly and waved his hand.
Yan Tian caught up with Lin Yi and put his hand on Lin Yi’s shoulder affectionately. He frowned and asked, “That should be enough. What’s there to be sad about?”
Walking to the side of the court, Lin Yi picked up a bottle of mineral water from the stone steps and drank half of it in one go. The thin sweat on his forehead glistened, making him look even more handsome!
Seeing that he said nothing, Yan Tian sighed helplessly.
This kid had been like this ever since he saw Jian Ai and that handsome guy appearing out of nowhere in the cafeteria.
He did not know what went wrong!
It was still unknown whether the two of them were related or not. Even if they were, they couldn’t possibly be a couple, right?
Although that man was handsome, he looked to be in his twenties!
At this moment, Gao Yang came back from the toilet. When he saw the two of them standing by the side of the court, he hurried forward and asked indifferently, “Why aren’t you playing anymore?”
Yan Tian curled his lips and raised his head at Lin Yi. “This brother is soaking in a vat of vinegar and hasn’t recovered yet!”
Gao Yang couldn’t help but glance at Lin Yi. When he saw that Lin Yi still had a cold expression on his face, he said, “You’re overthinking things. Everyone saw it today. Jian Ai wasn’t thrilled either!”
It meant that Jian Ai wasn’t close to the man who turned up.
Yan Tian also nodded. “That’s right, Qinghuan was sitting right beside her. She said it herself. Jian Ai never smiled at that person before! That’s almost enough. Why are you getting so jealous!”
“Besides, you’re not making your stand clear.” Gao Yang was even more rational. He said to Lin Yi, “You’re not Jian Ai’s boyfriend. You have no right to interfere with her dealings with the opposite sex!”
When Yan Tian heard that, he looked at Gao Yang and said, “He wanted to interfere earlier. If it weren’t for the two of us stopping him at noon, he would have really interfered!”
Lin Yi was also in the cafeteria. When he saw Jian Ai talking to the man, he couldn’t help but want to go over and see what was going on, but Yan Tian and Gao Yang stopped him at the same time.
Everyone was looking at Jian Ai and the man at that time, and Jian Ai’s expression was hostile. If Lin Yi rushed over now, it would only cause more unnecessary trouble for Jian Ai!
Lin Yi remained silent. He opened the bottle and drank the remaining half of the water.
Gao Yang furrowed his brows and looked at him.. After a long while, he said faintly, “I don’t think you’re angry because of what happened at the cafeteria. You’re angry because of those unbearable rumors that spread after the incident, right?”
