Chapter 35: An entrusted task
When Lin Zouwen appeared, Lin Luoran was still moving gracefully across the court, like a female knight clad in pink armor.
Su Can, who was still pondering what Lin Luoran had said before leaving, immediately spotted this member of Wang Weiwei's circle known as "Xiao Wu."
Slightly chubby, he looked amiable, nothing like someone who would say, "Watch me fucking slide-tackle you to death, you piece of trash," in an arcade. But people often could not be judged by appearances. Many unremarkable-looking people could do things that left others stunned and shocked the world.
Probably because he was at school and could not be too unconventional, Lin Zouwen was dressed fairly conservatively: a cotton sweater over a checked shirt, casual trousers, and a pair of imported Reebok running shoes. Carrying two bottles of beer, he came over to Su Can and plopped down beside him.
"I was wondering who kept making my little sister run over here lately. So it was you, ace! We all know each other already!" From the looks of it, Lin Zouwen had originally come with hostile intentions. Lin Luoran had no friends at school, something that had always weighed on his mind. Who would have thought that his recent worries would vanish? Whenever his little sister had enough free time, she headed to the sports field in athletic clothes, often returning only after she was exhausted and drenched in sweat.
Yet that had given him another involuntary worry. There was no question that his younger sister was outstanding, and it was true that she liked playing basketball, but she certainly would not be playing alone. Going to play without inviting him and Wang Weiwei was rather hard to explain. Over the years, what wild adventure had they not undertaken together?
