Chapter 196 Kidnapped
On this day, Jie had asked Gu Fan and Lu Yi to play basketball with him, mentioning that a pro would be joining them to ensure an exciting game.
Upon hearing the mention of a pro, Gu Fan and Lu Yi immediately got excited and hurried over. As soon as they arrived, they saw a tall man standing out under the basketball hoop. As they expected, it was Jie’s older brother, Hai.
Gu Fan recalled the first encounter he had with Hai’s skills in basketball, being thoroughly beaten. This was his second experience playing against him, and he wondered if the gap had narrowed.
Hai made a statement, "Friendship first, competition second." But despite his words, he defeated Gu Fan and Lu Yi thoroughly. It seems that some people’s talents are indeed hard to surpass.
After they all had been playing basketball for a while, Hai kindly bought water for everyone, showing a friendly demeanor that added to Gu Fan’s and Lu Yi’s increasingly good impression of him. Plus, Hai’s slam-dunk during the game had astounded everyone.
Jie admired Hai immensely and considered him a role model. He was proud to have such a brother.
During a casual chat, Hai casually asked, "What have you been up to recently?"
Lu Yi answered, "I’ve been working part-time to earn some money. I hope it will come in handy when we graduate. I heard that many people seek further training after graduation, and that requires money."
Hai agreed, "It’s good to see you guys being so proactive. I hope Jie can work hard with people like you. I’ve heard that Jie is also working part-time and that you guys pooled your money together to buy an electric bike for commuting."
Lu Yi nodded, "Yes, we all take turns using it. As there are many expenses, we only have one for now, but we plan to buy another one in the future."
"Struggling is a good tradition. Keep it up," Hai said, slightly changing the subject. "Having just one electric bike isn’t ideal. If it gets damaged, the repair costs can be steep. I have already fixed it for you."
