seven o'clock in the evening

According to the address sent by Hong Shaotian, Jianye arrived at the 'good place' he mentioned.

It refers to a small basketball court next to a lake park. When someone stands at the door of the basketball court and sees the whole "basketball court"... he feels deeply deceived.

Hong Shaotian’s mouth is such a deceit.

He keeps saying the environment is good, but where is the best place?!

A simple barbed wire fence, a dim lighting lamp, and invisible lines on the cement floor...

Those who knew it said it was a basketball court, but those who didn’t know it thought it was someone’s livestock pen.

It gives people the feeling that illegal buildings will be ordered to be demolished at any time.

Hong Shaotian, who was on the court, had already seen him.

Jian Yezhen thought about this place over and over again, and the only thing that matched Hong Shaotian's words was that it was quiet.

But this did not become a reason for him to stay. Someone turned around and wanted to leave. Seeing this, Hong Shaotian flew over with a basketball and tried to intercept it.

Kenye tilted his head slightly, and the basketball flew over his shoulder, fell to the ground, rolled toward the lake, and then fell into the lake with a splash.

"Damn it, brother, don't your conscience hurt? You actually watched my basketball slip and fall into the water." Hong Shaotian ran over and looked at the basketball that had almost floated to the middle of the lake, feeling embarrassed in his heart.

"Maybe it wanted to swim, but ended up drowning." He continued to die without saying anything shocking.

Hong Shaotian: "..." Do you think I look a little bit confident and happy??? (Question from the depths of my soul)

"Pay me the ball."

"Go get it yourself." It was originally thrown by him, so the responsibility lies with him.

"I don't!" He was a landlubber, and he couldn't tell who would save whom if he jumped.

"Goodbye." After saying this, he was about to leave, but Hong Shaotian grabbed him.

"Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I still have the ball, let's play two games." Weak, helpless and pitiful.

He came all the way here, wouldn't it be a waste to just go back like this?

Kaneno Makoto: "To put it bluntly, you just use me for entertainment and as a sparring partner." As he spoke, he took off his jacket, revealing a white sweatshirt underneath.

"Brother, if you see through it, don't tell me!"

"……don't want."

The answer is too true.

***

Two hours later~

"Heh heh heh..."

"Ah.."

The two stood facing each other, and a hearty offensive and defensive battle consumed a lot of energy. The unsteady breathing and the thin sweat on the forehead and neck were the best signs of yin.

"Didn't you say you weren't interested?" Hong Shaotian bent down and held his knees, looking at Kennozhin, who was holding the ball and standing under the rack, with an extremely black line.

Or try to hit him depending on his mood. Damn, this is called casual beating. He thinks this guy is extremely playful. He is called a hard worker and will never give up until he is knocked down.

"Sparring partners must be dedicated." He threw the basketball in his hand towards where Hong Shaotian was standing.

Hong Shaotian raised his hand to hit the ball, swatted it away, sat down on the ground, and started to cheat.

"I won't fight anymore. I'm exhausted. You're too devilish." He just raised the white flag with both hands and surrendered.

"My endurance is really bad."

"Is it my fault? It's because you're too serious, brother, you won't give up at all!"

"Doing your best is basic respect."

"Shit, that's fair. I've been beating you for more than an hour before you came here. It's normal that you can't keep up with your physical strength. I think you just want to find a sense of presence on me." Hong Shaotian got up from the ground with a curse and walked away.

Go to the bench in the corner of the court and take out the mineral water and towels that you have already prepared from your backpack.

Kennozhen captured a certain key sentence in his words.

"You didn't go back?" It means the Hong family.

Someone walked towards the rest area and picked up the basketball that had fallen to the ground.

Hong Shaotian sat slumped in the chair, with a joking look on his face: "What are you going to do when you go back? Should I let you eat melon in the front row and watch, or should you be a fuse?" After thinking about it, he still couldn't see and act.

Clean is best.

"Still arguing?" a question came from someone after sitting down.

"The only things that can cause quarrels are feelings. I'm afraid I don't even bother to argue." Looking at the empty stadium, Hong Shaotian said there was no spirit in his voice.

Kaneno Makoto: "There is no such thing as a broken mirror in this world."

"Hey, brother, can you give me some face?" Hong Shaozhen didn't know whether he was incomprehensible or too upright.

However, he still took out another bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it to him, "How about a towel?" referring to the one around his neck.

Someone glanced at him sideways, his attitude of rejection radiating from the inside out.

"Can we not show our dislike in such a subtle way?" We were friends who went from elementary school to high school together.

Jianye said nothing and just drank water silently.

Although it is a bit sadistic, I have to say that Hong Shaotian is really not surprised by Kenye's behavior and has long since learned to digest it.

"Really, if I get married one day, will my parents be like this too?"

"Wouldn't it be bad if you go to get married?" Why bother asking him.

Hong Shaotian sighed and leaned weakly against the barbed wire fence behind him.

"As expected...you don't even want to deal with me." With Kenno's words, it would be a disaster for any girl to fall in love with him.

I guess I'm going to be a bachelor.

"Because I won't ask for trouble." So he never answers hypothetical questions.

"Aren't people allowed to fantasize?" The future itself is uncertain, and it is precisely for this reason that there are beautiful reveries.

"Find someone you like and ask for marriage, and you won't have these problems."

"Xin Yue? Please let me go. Do you think this rare thing like falling in love will happen to me?" Did he think his life was not interesting enough? "Besides, what about my Xin Yue?

Joy and marriage are two different things. If I like her or not, is it just wishful thinking?"

Isn't that what his parents were like? His father loved his mother, but her mother loved someone else. In the end, the harsh reality of the world's vagaries led to this marriage.

The result is...not happy.

The sad thing is that they can still get along with each other for many years despite being stuck in their throats. This is what Hong Shaotian despises the most.

Now that his mother is back with her old lover and wants a divorce, Hong Shaotian is not surprised at all by this situation and even feels a sense of relief.

Emotions are really meaningless.

After screwing on the bottle cap, Kenye leaned against the barbed wire fence like him.

"Parents and children are two individuals." As if he had read through Hong Shaotian's thoughts, Jianye's words pointed directly at his pain point.

Putting aside money and power, in terms of feelings alone, the success and failure of parents cannot be equated with their children. In the same way, children should not be any different because of this.

But it is unavoidable that family factors do affect psychology. At this time, everyone has a different opinion. It depends on whether you decide to follow your parents subtly or find another way.

It is cruel to hit the nail on the head, but it is also what Hong Shaotian admires most about Jian Ye, because he dares.

If Jian Ye comforted him, Hong Shaotian would feel uncomfortable. As he said, he would habitually digest himself.

At this time, you have to change the topic, otherwise it will be too boring.

"Having said that, you can't say it too early."

"?"

"Can you really tell Kong Tongyue and Deng Xiaoyu apart without confusing them?"

"...Is this your trap?" Kenye really felt like he was being lied to.

Hong Shaotian suddenly smiled playfully: "Isn't this about fairness? I've told you so many things about my family, so you can also tell me about your love." After that, he bumped Kanye with his elbow.

Kenno Makoto: "..." Sure enough, we shouldn't sympathize with him.

"But to be honest, I really don't mind if you like Kong Tongyue." Rather, I'm really happy for Kenno, after all, it's not easy for iron trees to bloom.

"Then ask." Idle.

"But, yes!" Hong Shaotian suddenly said loudly, "I'm just curious, in your favoritism towards Kong Tongyue, do you think of her as Deng Xiaoyu... or the little girl who haunted you back then?" After all, according to Hong Shaotian's understanding,

The reason why Ken Yezhen met Deng Xiaoyu back then was due to a chance encounter when he was young, and Deng Xiaoyu happened to have similarities with the little girl.

However, Hong Shaotian denied this idea the next second.

"That's not right. Didn't you confirm it at that time? You swore that Deng Xiaoyu didn't run away. Now that Deng Xiaoyu has passed away, your first love as pure as a lily should have withered away?!"
