Chapter 502: 502 Tangtang, are you slacking off?

Lin Tang explained indifferently, "...I don’t like people whose minds are stingier than a hornet’s nest."

Min Feiying froze, and upon realizing what had been said, her face contorted with displeasure.

"What do you mean by that?" she asked, her eyes filled with hostility.

The fingers clutching the small box increased their rubbing frequency, desperately suppressing the surging anger within.

Lin Tang said with a smile, "Comrade Min is so clever, you surely understand what I mean; I’m not familiar with you and have no interest in interacting with you—do you understand what I’m saying now?"

Min Feiying’s expression became even more unsightly.

Her eyes, as cold as those of a wild beast, were daunting.

Lin Tang met her gaze with a smile, her demeanor unchanging.

After a moment, Min Feiying lowered her eyelids and smiled.

Lin Tang’s expression remained the same, but inside she grew alert.

...Holy mother, there really is a freak!!

But Min Feiying did nothing at all.

After giving Lin Tang a deep look, she left with a parting, "I see," then turned and walked away.

As she turned her head, her eyes clouded with shade, and as she cast her gaze downward at the box in her hand, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly upward.

Quite alert she is, much stronger than that fool from the Steel Factory.

Lin Tang didn’t know what Min Feiying was plotting, and although she felt alert inside, she didn’t let herself become overly anxious.

All schemes and tricks crumble before true power.

After Min Feiying left in a dejected manner, Lin Tang went home to change into more comfortable clothes, took her things, and without further discussion, headed to the Machinery Factory.

Not far along the way, she bumped into Gu Yingzhou riding his bicycle, one hand on the handlebar, the other lazily spinning a basketball.

Spotting Lin Tang from a distance, Gu Yingzhou sped up and stopped right in front of her within minutes.

The young man propped himself with one foot, gripping the bicycle handlebar with his right hand, and with a twist of his left arm, brought the basketball under his armpit; his movements were smooth and sharp.

"Why did you come here? Weren’t we supposed to meet and I’d pick you up?"

Lin Tang hadn’t expected to miss him despite her rush and was speechless.

"I finished with my transfer procedures and was free, so I came to find you," she explained.

As she spoke, she took the basketball from Gu Yingzhou’s hand and gave it a few pats.

"Whose basketball is this?"

It didn’t look very new.

Gu Yingzhou replied, "It’s Old Xia’s."

Lin Tang gave him a reproachful look. "Comrade Xia is still young; he can’t be called ’Old Xia’ by you just yet."

Wasn’t this bullying an honest person?

Gu Yingzhou chuckled lightly, "Do you believe if I called him anything else, he would jump up immediately?"

Lin Tang hadn’t interacted much with Xia Yunxiu, so she didn’t know his temperament.

Hearing her partner say this, she shook her head and didn’t continue the topic.

Alright, it was a case of mutual consent, she supposed.

Gu Yingzhou patted the rear seat, "Get on."

Lin Tang didn’t like to jump onto a moving bicycle, and upon hearing his invitation, she embraced Gu Yingzhou’s waist and hopped onto the rear seat.

Once seated, she didn’t withdraw her hands.

"Alright, let’s go."

Gu Yingzhou looked down at the hand wrapped around his waist, worried it might send the wrong signal, but also not wanting to upset Tangtang by asking her to take it back. After hesitating and pressing his lips together, he swallowed the comment that had almost made it out.

Forget it, they were officially in a relationship, having met each other’s parents, and there weren’t many people around. All was fair and square.

After the bicycle had been moving for a while, Lin Tang remembered Gu Yingzhou seemed to be still dressed for work. She patted his shoulder.

"Zhouzhou, don’t you need to change clothes?"

Gu Yingzhou looked puzzled, "Change what clothes?"

"Clothes suitable for sports."

"No need, I’m wearing a tank top underneath. Just need to take off the outer layer when we get there."

A tank top? That would reveal pretty much everything.

Cough, why am I somewhat looking forward to this?

About twenty minutes later, the two stopped at a basketball court beside the Culture Palace.

The area was surrounded by trees and water, and the evening breeze was refreshingly cool.

As it was just after work, there weren’t many people around.

Gu Yingzhou locked the bicycle, took off his outer short-sleeved shirt, revealing a green tank top, wore loose pants, and sported sneakers.

He dribbled the basketball, then stretched out his hand and with a ’thump’, the ball hit the net.

He jogged over, scooped up the ball in one swift move, and got it back in his hands.

Gu Yingzhou beckoned to Lin Tang, "Tangtang, come here, I’ll teach you."

His arm muscles were perfectly defined, with not a single extra ounce of flesh on his waist, exuding a vigorous vitality.

Paired with that handsome face, he was devastatingly attractive.

Lin Tang’s heart raced, and her face grew warm.

I’m totally smitten!

I’ve fallen not just for his soul but for his body as well.

Gu Yingzhou stood tall a few steps away, the setting sun casting a warm glow on him.

The man’s lips curled into a slight smile, his innate coolness softened by a watery gentleness.

Seeing the young girl not moving, he walked over leisurely.

"What are you spacing out for?" he asked.

While speaking, he took Lin Tang’s soft hand and led her onto the basketball court.

"You wanted to learn basketball, right? Come on, I’ll teach you."

Eager to look after the young girl’s wellbeing, Gu Yingzhou was full of enthusiasm.

Lin Tang was not one for exertion, and sports felt like a distant concept to her.

With her great strength already, she became all the more slothful.

Seeing Yingzhou actually taking this seriously, she started to regret it.

What if I develop solid muscles? That’d be a sin.

Sighing internally while also trying to encourage herself, Lin Tang asked, "How did you learn to play basketball?"

Isn’t he a bit too much of an all-rounder?

Gu Yingzhou handed her the ball to practice dribbling.

After glancing at her, he answered, "I picked it up playing with a bunch of kids in the compound."

As a child, he was unbearably annoying, someone who would argue with heavens and earth and believed himself to be unsurpassable.

His desire to win was especially strong; he couldn’t bear being outdone by anyone.

That was when he learned basketball.

Lin Tang’s curiosity was piqued when Gu Yingzhou mentioned the compound. "What were you like before?"

Recalling a novel her assistant had described to her, her eyes lit up, "Were you one of those who excelled at everything, overshadowing others, trailed by a troupe of followers?"

Her assistant had said this was a staple for male leads.

Could her partner be one of those novel protagonists?

Lin Tang’s clear eyes focused on Gu Yingzhou, filled with curiosity.

Gu Yingzhou met the young girl’s sparkling eyes and couldn’t help but smile as he lightly flicked her forehead.

"No one is good at everything."

"I was just curious about many things and tried a lot, so I got to know a bit about many things, but that’s no match for those who specialize," he explained.

Lin Tang nodded, indicating she understood.

Then she added, "That’s still quite impressive! You have to admit, there are many ’ignorant’ people in this society."

Take basketball for instance—I bet lots of people wouldn’t have a clue.

Information doesn’t circulate fast, and people struggle just to get by—food and clothing are hard enough, who would care about sports?

Gu Yingzhou nodded slightly, agreeing, "Ignorance isn’t to be feared. Society is evolving, and everyone has their moments of ignorance. What’s frightening is being ignorant yet fearless, ignorant yet pretending to know..."

As he spoke, his profound gaze turned to the young girl who was slacking off.

"Tangtang, are you slacking off?" he asked in a light, teasing tone.
