Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 802

Chapter 802

Xu Jiamu raised his head and looked at Lu Jinnian . His hands suddenly shivered for a moment holding pint of beer . Then he nodded at the boss .

The lady boss grabbed the menu and asked, "Mr . Lu and Mr . Xu, this time, are we ordering the same dishes as before?"

"En . responded Xu Jiamu . He pointed at the beer on the table . "Bring a few more bottles . "

Besides touching glasses every now and then, Xu Jiamu and Lu Jinnian practically didn't have any interaction with one another throughout dinner .

Business at this privately-owned restaurant was extremely terrible . So much so that there were a total of only three occupied tables at the restaurant up until they paid for their meal .

A woman sitting at a table not too far from Lu Jinnian and Xu Jiamu recognized them . She started taking photos of the two of them with her phone, turning her head from time to time to say a few words excitedly to the person beside her . The moment Lu Jinnian got up to leave, that woman brought her man and ran over to Lu Jinnian, begging him for an autograph .

Outside the privately-owned restaurant, there was a narrow alley .

Lu Jinnian and Xu Jiamu walked out, neither one of them pulling out their car keys . Lu Jinnian grabbed his sunglasses and put them on his face, then said, "Basketball?"

"Alright . " Xu Jiamu had no objections .

From the restaurant, they had to walk no more than two hundred meters through the alley and past the back gates to the stadium . It was already nightfall, and there were practically no one in the alley . After a long while, there was a lamp post that shone dimly . The two of them didn't really interact with one another as they walked side by side for about ten minutes . When they reached the entrance to the stadium and walked in, Xu Jiamu pulled out some money and bought a couple of bottles of water .

Besides the two of them, there was no one else in the empty stadium .

Xu Jiamu took off his winter jacket and grabbed the basketball with one hand . He started to effortlessly dribble the ball for a while, then made a shot . As he caught the ball, he continued to dribble and looked over at Lu Jinnian . "Let's play a game?"

Lu Jinnian didn't say a word, but removed his jacket and walked over .

Without a referee and audience, it was just the two of them sweating freely . Besides the sound of shoes brushing against the wooden floors and the dong-dong-dong sound of the ball hitting the ground, the empty stadium was silent .

Neither of them knew how long they played with the ball . The two of them used up all their strength until they eventually sat down next to each other on the ground .

Xu Jiamu picked up a bottle of water and threw it at Lu Jinnian . Then he grabbed another and gulped down some water . He raised his hand to wipe a couple droplets from the corner of his mouth and said, "Since you left, I didn’t have such a good time playing ball . "

Lu Jinnian stopped drinking for a moment, then took another gulp . He put the bottle of mineral water away and said, "I haven't played basketball for a long time either . "

Xu Jiamu turned his head, glanced over at his brother, then lay flat onto the wooden floorboards and stared up at the glass ceiling of the stadium .

Lu Jinnian put the lid back onto the bottle and laid down as well .

The two of them were heaving from the intense exercise .

The stadium fell silent the moment they stopped playing ball

Xu Jiamu stared up at the ceiling for who knows how long . . . He blinked, and without looking at Lu Jinnian, and gently said, "Bro, I'm sorry .
