Xu Jiamu lifted his head and glanced at Lu Jinnian. His hand holding the glass of beer paused slightly, then he nodded at the owner.
The owner held the menu and asked, "Mr. Lu and Mr. Xu, do you want to order the same dishes as before?"
"Yea," replied Xu Jiamu, pointing at the beer on the table. "Bring a few bottles over."
During the meal, Xu Jiamu and Lu Jinnian didn't talk at all, aside from clinking glasses and drinking from time to time.
This restaurant's business was terrible. Even after they finished eating and paid the bill, there were only three or four tables of customers.
At a table not far from Lu Jinnian and Xu Jiamu, a girl recognized Lu Jinnian. She held up her phone and took pictures of them, then turned her head and excitedly said a few words to the person next to her. When Lu Jinnian finally got up to leave, the girl ran over to Lu Jinnian with a pen, asking for his signature.
Outside the private restaurant was a very narrow alley.
Lu Jinnian and Xu Jiamu didn't reach for their car keys. Lu Jinnian put on his sunglasses and said, "Let's go play basketball?"
"Sure." Xu Jiamu didn't object.
It was only two hundred meters from the restaurant to the National Stadium. Following the alley, they could pass through the back door. At this time, night had already fallen, and there was practically no one in the alley. There was a street lamp far away, but the light was dim. The two of them didn't talk much, just walked shoulder to shoulder. After about ten minutes, they reached the entrance of the stadium. Before entering, Xu Jiamu reached for some money and bought a few bottles of water.
The stadium was empty, aside from the two of them, there was no one else in the stadium.
Xu Jiamu took off his winter clothes, and single-handedly grabbed a basketball. He bounced it on the ground twice, then easily leaped up and shot the ball into the basket. Then, he caught the ball that bounced back. As he bounced it, he glanced over at Lu Jinnian. "Want to compete?"
Lu Jinnian didn't say anything, he just took off his jacket and walked over.
There were no referees or spectators. It was just two people sweating. In the spacious stadium, apart from the sound of shoes rubbing against the wooden floor and the thudding sound of the ball hitting the ground, there was no other sound.
The two of them didn't know how long they played until they were exhausted. Both of them sat on the ground.
Xu Jiamu scooped up a bottle of water and threw it to Lu Jinnian. Then, he grabbed another bottle, twisted it open, and gulped down a mouthful. He raised his hand to wipe the water trickling down the side of his mouth. "After you left, it's been a long time since I've had such a good time playing ball."
Lu Jinnian paused for a moment before continuing to drink. He put down the bottle of mineral water and said, "I haven't played in a long time."
Xu Jiamu turned his head and glanced at Lu Jinnian. Then he laid flat on the wooden floor and stared at the glass ceiling of the gymnasium.
Lu Jinnian twisted the bottle cap and lay down beside her.
Because of the intense exercise, both of them were a little short of breath.
Without the sound of basketball, the stadium became even quieter at this time.
Xu Jiamu stared at the ceiling for a long time. He blinked, but didn't look at Lu Jinnian. He just softly said, "Brother, I'm sorry."
PS: For some reason, I feel that this one is very passionate ~ Am I hallucinating?
