Difficult To Raise Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Playing Ball When it’s over, all the players on the opposite side…

By the time it was over, all the players on the opposite side were panting and sweating. Someone came over with a dazed look on his face. He couldn’t believe that he had played well and lost for no reason. He bumped Jiang Jin’s shoulder and said, “Damn, have you taken medicine? Why are you so violent all of a sudden?”

Jiang Jin glanced at him and said nothing.His eyes once again fell lightly on the auditorium behind him. In the front position, Jiang Ran was looking over with his chin propped up. The smile on his face was very conspicuous, like the afternoon sun, bright and hot. When he saw Jiang Jin looking over, he said silently: “Awesome.”

The two people’s eyes met for a second or two. The heat from the exercise rushed over at this time, and the sides and ears were slightly hot. Jiang Jin looked away as if nothing had happened, grabbed his sweaty hair, and said, “You are too useless.”

“So arrogant,” the man sneered and said unconvinced, “How about we make an appointment next time?”

He is a student from the attached middle school next door. He comes to this gym to play basketball when he is free on weekends. This is the first time he has met Jiang Jin in a long time.

Friendships between boys are sometimes very simple. He thinks this guy is very skilled and he enjoys playing with him, so he thinks of dating him again just to make friends.

Jiang Jin paused: “Let’s talk about it later.”

The man wanted to say something, but a boy from Jiang Jin’s team came over. He had a baby face and light hair. He couldn’t be said to be handsome, but he was easy to like.

When he came closer, he slapped the man on the head and said in a mean voice: “You are stupid, you can’t see that this person is not thinking about this right now.”

The man hissed, covered his painful head, and cursed: “Li Yunzhou, you are so damn cruel.”

Li Yunzhou rubbed his hands perfunctorily, and said with a smile: “You deserve it. Who made you lose your eyesight?”

From the beginning, he noticed that Jiang Jin’s eyes fell on the audience from time to time. He looked over and saw two beautiful girls. Thinking that he had figured out Jiang Jin’s thoughts, he whispered in the person’s ear: “Quickly, stop chirping here and blocking our love.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the audience and winked at him repeatedly.

The man said “Ah”, reacted suddenly, bumped into Jiang Jin, and teased: “What? A girl you like comes to watch you play? I mean, why did you play so fiercely in the second half?”

“Where did you come from, girl, don’t be obscene all day long.” Jiang Jin shook off his hand, with no expression on his face. During the movement, a drop of sweat fell down and splashed into his eyes along the long and curled eyelashes. A slight sting came. Jiang Jin felt a little uncomfortable and walked forward, wanting to get his towel from the bench next to the auditorium.

Li Yunzhou followed, “Hey, why am I embarrassed to admit that I am a man at a time like this…”

Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.

Suddenly there were two bottles of water in front of me.

When I looked up, I saw the two girls who had just been sitting in the audience. They were wearing short skirts and standing in front of them. They had some light makeup on their faces and looked delicate and bright.

Li Yunzhou has no resistance to beautiful girls, not to mention that one of them is his ideal type.

His ears turned red and he glanced at the beautiful faces of the two girls. His heartbeat speeded up unknowingly. Just as he was thinking about reaching out to pick them up, he heard his ideal type say to Jiang Jin: “Handsome guy, you are really good at playing. You must be thirsty after playing for so long, right?”

Li Yunzhou retracted his half-stretched hand, his heart breaking.

Jiang Jin raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, only to feel a stinging pain in his eyes. He lowered his eyes without looking at them, and did not take the water they handed over. He just said lightly: “Sorry, I’m not thirsty.”

The girl was probably rather thin-skinned. When she heard such an obvious rejection, she couldn’t keep the smile on her face. She obviously felt embarrassed. Her hand was frozen in mid-air. She couldn’t take it back, nor could she hold it back.

Li Yunzhou glanced at Jiang Jin bitterly, feeling that he was too incomprehensible to be charming, how could he embarrass a girl so much, so he interrupted: “Well… I’m actually quite thirsty. If you don’t mind, give it to me.”

The girl raised her head, her eyes fell on his face, her expression was obviously relieved, and she handed him the water.

Li Yunzhou took it with a smile and said, “Thank you.”

The girl pursed her lips, showed a shy smile, waved her hand to him, said nothing more, turned around and went back. It seemed that she wasn’t too interested in boys like him.

Li Yunzhou was a little disappointed. He took the bottle of water, patted Jiang Jin on the shoulder and said, “I’m going to take a shower.”

Jiang Jin responded with a “hmm”.

After the two people left, Jiang Jin discovered that there was still a girl standing there. She was much bolder. She was watching the show with great interest. She didn’t feel embarrassed when she was rejected. Her movements and postures didn’t change much. She still had a smile on her face: “How come you’re not thirsty? I see you’ve been fighting for a long time and sweated so much.”

Jiang Jin frowned and was about to say something else when he glanced back and saw Jiang Ran, who was a few steps behind the girl.

Jiang Ran also held an unopened bottle of water in his hand. It seemed that he planned to give it to him, but it was obviously a step too late.

Seeing him looking over, Jiang Ran looked a little embarrassed. In fact, he was already planning to go back home. There were girls bringing water to the house, so he joined them now to figure out what was going on.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he retracted his hand, the man in front had already walked around the girl, walked over with his legs raised, stood only one step away from him, and spread out a hand towards him.

Jiang Ran was slightly startled.

“What are you doing standing still? Isn’t this water for me?” Jiang Jin asked, the expression on his face was still disgusting, but he never took back his stretched out hand.

He raised his chin and stared directly at Jiang Ran.One eye was red from his rubbing, making it look fierce and a bit scary.

Only then did Jiang Ran react and quickly handed over the water. His fingertips accidentally brushed across the back of Jiang Jin’s hand. Perhaps because he had just finished playing ball, his temperature was obviously much higher.

For some reason, Jiang Ran felt a little uncomfortable, as if he had been burned, and quickly retracted his hand.

Weird… Jiang Ran thought in his heart, why did he feel like something was wrong if he just gave his brother some water.

Sensing his reaction, Jiang Jin tightened her grip on the mineral water bottle, raised her eyes and stared at him for a moment, a flash of thought flashed in her dark eyes.

Jiang Ran had already turned his head and stopped looking at him, so naturally, his glance fell on his slightly red earlobe.

His skin was very white, which made the red color even more obvious.

Jiang Jin’s Adam’s apple rolled up, and now he really felt a little thirsty. He looked away, unscrewed the cap of the bottle neatly, raised his head and took a swig. The line of the boy’s jaw tightened because of this action, and the straight bridge of his nose went up, which looked pleasing to the eye.

He drank up the water in one breath, turned around and gestured to the girl with the empty bottle in his hand, shrugged and said, “Sorry.”

When the girl saw this, she didn’t bother and put the water away generously.Her eyes moved around the two people’s faces, and she didn’t know what she thought of. A malicious smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she put the bottle of water into Jiang Ran’s hand.

“Handsome guy, you are quite hot too. Look at the sweat on your head. Your water is gone. Drink mine.”

Her movements were crisp and neat, giving Jiang Ran no chance to refuse.By the time Jiang Ran came back to his senses, the girl had already turned around and walked away gracefully. When she walked to the audience, she seemed to have remembered something. She turned back and made a heart-warming gesture to Jiang Ran and said, “Handsome boy, you are so good-looking, you are my type.”

Jiang Ran was forced to hold the water: “…”

There was a “creak” sound, which was the sound of the plastic bottle being squeezed.Jiang Ran turned his head and found Jiang Jin staring at him closely, his face was cold and expressionless.

Jiang Ran was startled and said cautiously: “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Jin didn’t say anything, he just pointed at the trash can, raised his wrist, and threw the deformed bottle in.

“Clang.”

The bottle is impartial and hits the red heart.

Then, his eyes turned around, first focusing on Jiang Ran’s face for a few seconds, and then slowly moved down, landing on the mineral water bottle in Jiang Ran’s hand, and stopped moving.

Jiang Ran noticed his gaze, paused for a moment, looked at the bottle in his hand, handed it over as if he had a sudden realization, and asked tentatively: “You… still want to drink?”

Jiang Jin silently took the water from his hand and drank it all in one gulp as usual.

It wasn’t until the empty bottle was thrown into the trash can in the same way that Jiang Ran asked in confusion: “…Xiao Jin, are you very thirsty?”

Jiang Jin pursed his lower lip, his face looked a little ugly, and he muttered one word: “Yeah.”

Jiang Ran opened his mouth and wanted to say that I will buy you another bottle.

Before he could say anything, Jiang Jin asked coldly, “Why are you here?”

Turns out I really forgot to block him…

Jiang Ran’s mood instantly dropped, and he said, “I happened to want to come and have a look…”

“What are you looking at?” Jiang Jin interrupted him, leaned forward slightly and said bluntly: “Looking at a man? Or looking at a woman?”

It’s not just about looking at men. By coincidence, the man I’m looking at is you.

Jiang Ran held his breath in his heart and told himself that he was trying to coax people. He had to be humble and downtrodden, and he had to say soft words. After a long time of mental preparation, he smiled and said, “I have some free time on the weekend. I just want to come and watch the game.”

Jiang Jin sneered and his face darkened again.

“Have you seen enough?” Jiang Jin said sarcastically: “Who do the people here like? Tell me and I’ll listen. Maybe I can get you some contact information.”

Without waiting for Jiang Ran to answer, he thought to himself again: “Unfortunately, they may not necessarily like you.”

Jiang Ran simply felt that it was impossible to communicate with him. In these few meetings, it seemed that no matter what he said, Jiang Jin could misinterpret it into another meaning and then choke it back without mercy.

Why hadn’t he noticed that Jiang Jin’s character was so bad before?

Jiang Ran frowned and thought hard, how can he communicate with Jiang Jin normally, instead of being so tense and tit-for-tat as soon as they meet, even if they can calm down a little.

How did they get along before?In fact, I didn’t do anything at that time, it seemed to come naturally…

My thoughts drifted away, and scenes of past memories appeared before my eyes.

Jiang Ran was so focused in his thoughts that he didn’t realize that a black figure was hitting him hard. It was a basketball that had escaped his hand. The person who threw the ball obviously used great force and his accuracy was also amazing.Look at the arc thrown over, the landing point is right at his left eye.If they collided with each other this time, the consequences would be disastrous.

The owner of the basketball looked at this scene in horror and warned in a panic: “Hey, get out of the way!”

But it was too late.

Seeing the basketball getting closer and closer, the ball rotated at high speed in the air, causing a sharp sound of breaking through the air, as if it would hit Jiang Ran hard the next moment.

At the critical moment, a figure suddenly stood in front of him.

Bang!

It was the sound of a basketball hitting his back. Jiang Jin gasped in pain and his body trembled slightly.

Jiang Ran was frightened by the voice and pulled away from his distant thoughts.When he came back to his senses, the first thing he saw was Jiang Jin’s frown. He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips so that they turned a little white.

Although they haven’t seen each other for four years, Jiang Ran is still familiar with his various expressions, and he can tell with just one glance that this is a sign that he is in pain.
