Chapter 17: Fleeting Rivals

Usually, as long as there is no class, Gege will accompany Lin Yi to practice together. Sometimes as soon as Lin was playing on the court, Gege would sit on the sidelines with a book and memorize words. In terms of memorizing words, Lin Yi is actually no less talented than a character who is both talented and learning professional English. Having such an excellent boyfriend may be something that many people can't envy, but Gege also invisibly generated a lot of pressure, especially when he learned that Lin Yi had already begun to rely on his own ability to take on programming jobs in some small companies and be financially self-sufficient, Gege felt that he didn't want to lose for the first time, even if it was a boyfriend he loved, Gege didn't want to lose.

"If two people are not at the same level, they will not be able to go together in the end." This is the concept that Sister Qing instilled in Gege at a very young age. In fact, Gege could only say that he knew only half of this sentence before, or he didn't know why it was. After just a few months of dating Lin Yi, Gege felt that he seemed to have fully understood the truth. The more excellent Lin Yi is, the more Gege has to improve himself and not hold back, so that he is qualified to go on with him for a long time. As soon as the forum broke out about the relationship between the two of them, many people left messages questioning whether Gege was worthy of Lin Yi. Gege wasn't affected by the negative comments, but she also understood that the doubts weren't entirely unreasonable. During the winter vacation, Lin Yi and Gege both registered for the TOEFL test at the school, and Harvard Summer School required a score of 100, which was Lin Yi's goal, and Gege silently set a higher goal for himself.

Every time he sat on the sidelines and memorized words, Gege would also notice that from time to time some girls would come to watch the game, but it was obvious that the drunkard did not mean to drink. Most of the time, they would stare intently at Lin Yi, cheering for Lin Yi's goal, and their eyes would occasionally drift to Gege. Gege felt the gaze even if he didn't look up. For these, Gege doesn't care. It's a good thing that a boyfriend is excellent, the more people like him, the more it proves that Lin Yi is excellent, not to mention that Lin Yi's feelings for him are so hot, and Gege is very secure about it.

What's more, those girls who came to see Lin Yi had never had any communication with Gege, so Gege didn't see it.

But today is different, there is an extra girl on the sidelines who runs before and after, and it doesn't feel like she's watching the game spontaneously, it's more like a member of the basketball team. Gege estimated that it should be the manager of the basketball team, but this manager's care for Lin Yi was obviously a bit over. Just hand the towel, she will directly stretch out the towel to wipe Lin Yi's sweat; Unscrewed the cap of the bottle and handed over the mineral water, he would continue to look at Lin Yi, and even the other team members didn't notice it at all when they came over.

While resting, Lin Yi walked towards Gege.

"We have a new manager on the team." Lin Yi took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Well, I saw it." Gege said indifferently.

"She confessed to me. But I refused. Lin Yi raised his head and took a sip of water.

"It is rumored that you are very graceful in rejecting girls, and I have always been curious about how you refused." Gege asked a little mischievously.

Before Lin Yi could answer, the whistle sounded again on the field. The bottle cap didn't have time to be screwed on, so Lin Yi took three steps and two steps back to the field.

Gege continued to look down at the book, and the sound of his shoes rubbing against the floor on the court did not affect Gege's concentration, because since he was a child, his father would take Gege and his younger brother to play, and this sound would not only not disturb Gege, but also make her feel more relieved.

Towards the end of the training, the manager of the basketball team took the initiative to go to Gege.

"Hello, my name is Du Xinhang, and I am the newly recruited manager of the basketball team." The voice is crisp and hearty.

"Hello." Gege raised his head slightly, said hello, and wanted to continue reading.

"You're Lin Yi's girlfriend, right? I really envy you. I also like Lin Yi. ”

Gege thought it was just a simple hello, but now he had to put down the pen in his hand and raise his head again.

The girl in front of her looks very petite and weak, but her eyes are very confident.

"He's so good, it's normal to be attracted. I'm one of them. ”

"So I envy you very much, but I believe in the freedom of love, and I will actively fight for my opportunity, I hope you don't mind."

Gege was thinking about how to answer the challenge from his rival, and just as he was about to speak, Lin Yi's voice interjected strongly, "She doesn't mind, I mind." ”

Lin Yi quickly walked to Gege's side with a big step, immediately hugged Gege's shoulders, and said to Du Xinhang very calmly and politely while swearing sovereignty, "Classmate Du, I made it clear to you the first time. I have a girlfriend, so I don't want anyone to disturb us. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Gege dotingly and scratched her nose, "I know my girlfriend's personality, she won't mind, but that's because she has grace, and because she doesn't want to hurt others." Because of this, I couldn't let her down with her demeanor to make her hurt. Hopefully you'll understand when I say that. ”

Du Xinhang bit his lip and finally sighed, "I understand." After saying that, he walked away stupidly.

Gege looked at Lin Yi and didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and gently stood on tiptoe and dropped a kiss on his lips that left no trace. Many of the team members who were packing up saw it, so they started to coax for a while.

Lin Yi coped with their coaxing and led Gege out of the court.

"Actually, I hope you mind, then I'll be happier." Lin Yi's voice sounded a little coquettish.

"If I had to mind every girl who likes you, I'd be busy every day. I don't mind because I believe in you", Gege pouted after speaking, "It's so unfair, why doesn't anyone chase me, let you mind." ”

Lin Yi hugged Gege from behind, "Even if there is, I should be scared away, who made your boyfriend so good?" ”

"Narcissist."

"Did you say then?" Lin Yi bit Gege's earlobe.

Gege's "yes" was melted into Lin Yi's impatient kiss without saying anything.
