Sludge to the Mountain Ghost

Looking down at him, he asked, "Aren't you really going to play a game with me? Afraid of losing? Xu Rui and I both win and lose."

"There is indeed a wound on the hand..." Lin Pai stood up, pointed to him where the bandage was wrapped before, and now it has been replaced with light gauze, and said helplessly, "It's here, Xu Rui accompanied me a while ago. The thread that was sewn has not been removed yet.”

Fu Yanye looked around his arm, and he seemed to be able to see some traces of gauze through the clothes.

Just as he was about to ask how Lin Pai got hurt, Xu Rui's voice sounded from behind——

"Lin Pai!"

"Lin Pai! I've been looking for you for a long time, and I ran here!"

Xu Rui ran over from a distance, and ran between the two of them, separating Lin Pai and Fu Yanye. He opened his arms and wrapped Lin Pai in his arms at once, "Come! Brother Rui, give me a hug!"

47. Chapter 47

Lin Pai was forced back again and again by Xu Rui who was rushing towards him. His center of gravity was unstable, so he had to hold on to the corner of Xu Rui's clothes to keep his balance. When he realized it, he had already retreated to the edge of the basket.

"Don't...you...hey! Be careful!"

A ball was missed and bounced towards them after hitting the rebound. Xu Rui freed up a hand and slapped the ball away accurately. Lin Pai took advantage of this moment to push him away.

"Can you two change places?" Zhou Ning caught the ball helplessly and passed it to the teammate next to him.

The teammate caught the ball and turned to talk to Xu Rui, "Brother Rui, you are back, are you going to play? We are still three points away."

"I'm not free, come on!"

Xu Rui and Lin Pai withdrew from the field together, Zhou Ning didn't pay much attention to them, turned around and greeted everyone to continue playing.

"Why do you push me away? I haven't seen you for a week. Why don't you recognize me? Why didn't I reply to so many messages I sent you yesterday?"

Xu Rui noticed that he took a step closer, and Lin Pai took a step back. He pointed at Lin Pai in disbelief and said, "Are you still hiding from me?"

Lin Pai tilted his head, avoiding his fingers, "You still have the nerve to say that you didn't reply to the message I sent you the day before yesterday."

"I've been comparing these two days... Didn't I reply? Impossible!"

Xu Rui dug out the chat interface with Lin Pai from his mobile phone, and found that he hadn't really replied, "Well... this, maybe at that time..."

"Why are you hiding your phone? Take it here, let me see what caused the signal transmission to be cut off!"

Lin Pai reached out to grab the cell phone he was holding in his trouser pocket, and bumped into the place next to the pocket during the fight. Xu Rui jokingly warned him while hiding, "Don't, Lin Pai, don't make trouble, I won't be polite if you continue to make trouble. !"

"When have you been polite to me!" Lin Pai didn't take him seriously, and began to wrestle his hand covering his pocket.

Xu Rui let go of his hand suddenly, Lin Pai paused, and before he had time to express his disbelief, he felt weightless for a while, Xu Rui hugged his knees and carried him directly.

"What are you doing? Let me down!" Lin Pai fluttered his hands and feet, almost falling off.

"Hands! Be careful!" Xu Rui pressed his legs, and weighed his whole body on his shoulders.

Lin Pai slapped him on the back, "There are so many people on the basketball court, they are watching us!"

"Let them envy you, for you, I will join the camp of the brave in the world!"

Xu Rui carried him to the edge of the basketball court. He raised his foot, pointed to the coat on the lawn with his toes and asked, "Is that coat with the book yours?"

Lin Pai was lying on his shoulders, the dizziness caused by being upside down had not been completely eliminated, he turned his head and barely looked in the direction, and said, "It should be."

Xu Rui walked to the coat, put Lin Pai on the lawn and sat down, and before he could react, he knelt between his legs on one knee and surrounded him with both hands supporting the net wall behind him, "Don't move, Let me take a good look at you."

"The people over there seem to be looking at you..."

"Don't look at them." Xu Rui pinched his chin and turned Lin Pai's gaze back, then he suddenly turned over and sat beside Lin Pai, "I regret it, you look better again, They must be watching you."

Lin Pai was amused by him, and tried to change the subject, "When did you come back? Have things been dealt with?"

"Don't talk about this first..." Xu Rui looked around the court, then suddenly picked up his coat, shook it, and covered Lin Pai's face.

"What are you doing again?" Lin Pai reached out to grab his clothes, but Xu Rui pulled his hand away.

"They're still watching you, that's okay, I haven't seen enough yet..." After speaking, Xu Rui lifted his clothes and got in, holding his face and watching carefully, as if he was playing some observation game.

Lin Pai's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he leaned forward, but Xu Rui just avoided it. He was stunned, and slowly moved his gaze to Xu Rui's eyes.

Xu Rui smiled slyly, and when he saw the helplessness and confusion in Lin Pai's eyes, he suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart. He suppressed his smile, grabbed the back of Lin Pai's head and greeted him.

The coats covered half of their bodies, and only their four legs were exposed outside, which made them more eye-catching on the court, but the scenery inside the coats could only rely on their imagination.

Xu Rui let go of Lin Pai, wiped his lips lightly, and then lifted his clothes. The strong sunlight made him squint his eyes, but his muscle memory allowed him to find Lin Pai's hair with his hands, and he was satisfied. I grabbed two handfuls.

Lin Pai took his hand from the top of his head as usual, and threw it back, "So everything is settled?"

"What? Oh... I thought you would say something like "Brother Rui, I miss you so much", but you only care about this, tsk, tsk... It's all good, don't worry. "

"Brother Rui..."

"Why?" Xu Rui folded a piece of dead grass and played with it in his hand, looking up at Zhou Ning's game from time to time.

"I miss you so much."

Xu Rui put down the dry grass, turned to look at him, and grinned, "I miss you too. By the way, what were you talking to Fu Yanye when I first came here? Did he bully you?"

"No, he saw me sitting on the sidelines and asked me to play a game with him. He didn't believe me when I said I had an injury, and then you came." Lin Pai roughly explained the process, and then emphasized, "He also said, let me not be afraid of losing. I used to fight with you, and I always won or lost."

Xu Rui wrinkled his nose, raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes twice, "Why do I smell sour, who is brewing vinegar? It's too sour, too sour!"

Lin Pai grabbed a few dead grasses and threw them all over Xu Rui's body, and stopped talking to him as if angry.

Xu Rui glanced at him secretly, reached out to touch the back of his hand hanging by his side, and was slapped by Lin Pai in reverse, he retracted his hand to cover himself, pointed to Fu Yanye and said, "He is still standing Well, I'll go over and win a game for you now!"

Just as Xu Rui was about to stand up, he was dragged back by Lin Pai, "I don't want you to play with him, I want you to accompany me to remove the stitches, and I want to play too."

"What's the big deal..." Xu Rui glanced at the time, turned around and stretched out his hand to Lin Pai, "Let's go, it's just right now, the hospital is not closed yet."

Lin Pai grabbed his hand and stood up with strength.

As Lin Pai stood up, the game ended in a draw. The players drank water and greeted their opponents one by one. Fu Yanye stood at the back, and Zhou Ning skipped him.

After greeting each other, Zhou Ning and Li Cheng walked towards the court and asked Xu Rui if he wanted to have dinner together.

Xu Rui shook his head, and handed each of them a can of soda. He put his arm around Lin Pai's shoulder and said, "Good fight! But I just came back, so give us some time to live together."

Zhou Ning gave him a middle finger and left with Li Cheng.

The public lecture in the lecture hall ended at about this time. They walked to the gate of the cultural activity center, just in time for the huge crowd to go out. Xu Rui secretly squeezed Lin Pai's hand in the turbulent crowd.

Yu Yucheng was the host of the event and didn't need to help clean up the venue. After the lecture, he left with Dong Wenwen.

Dong Wenwen stood on tiptoe, saw through the crowd that Lin Pai was not far in front of them, and wondered, "Why did Lin Pai just come out?"

As soon as he was about to quicken his pace, Yu Yucheng pulled him back with his shoulders, "My grandma is going to have a New Year's Eve dinner tonight, and my mother asked me to tell you that we can go directly to my grandma's house after we finish here."

"Oh, ok...but why didn't my mother tell me herself..."

"The two sisters are very affectionate. I guess they won't be able to play mahjong in the afternoon."

Dong Wenwen smiled along with him, he deliberately walked a little slower, half a step behind Yu Yucheng, he looked up at Yu Yucheng from the side and rear, the sun was shining on the crowd, his outline was as bright as ever.

He thought that maybe many years later, he would attend Yu Yucheng's wedding and become one of the many spectators of his happy marriage.

Many years later, they will gather together to fish and play cards like the mothers who are playing mahjong at the moment...

Those things that cannot be revealed, such as regret, shyness, and excitement, will all become secrets that have fallen into the years, and he will keep these secrets alone, and finally this life.

Lin Pai caught up with the last doctor off duty and removed the stitches on his arm. He was told that the wound was recovering well and that it would fully heal after a while, and the scar would fade on its own after a while.

"Where do you stay at night? Is it my place where you live recently?" Xu Rui asked him.

"I moved back..." Lin Pai found the key from the bag and handed it to Xu Rui, "Lin Kangrong is leaving tomorrow, and my grandma is going to have a New Year's Eve dinner tonight, so I have to go back first."

"Take the key, I have another one here." Xu Rui took out the key ring and shook it, and there was a clanging sound.

"I will send Lin Kangrong away tomorrow, and I have to accompany my grandma
