Chapter 13 Freedom After Leaving the Job
6:20 PM.
The sunset on the horizon spread out in layers like waves, gradually changing from deep orange to light blue, draping the entire city in a hazy veil.

Click——!
As Lin Shen walked out of the company gate, he decisively pressed the shutter and used his mobile phone to record the beautiful scenery in front of him.

Was the sunset really this beautiful?

Lin Shen was filled with mixed emotions.

After resigning, he didn't feel the ecstasy he had imagined; instead, he felt a sense of relief and ease.

He was so relaxed that he was even a little confused.

What should I do from now on?
Leaving the dazzling lights of Shanghai and going back to my hometown to relax?

Or should we travel around the world?
Lin Shen kept thinking about this question on his way home, and happened to pass by the red dot displayed on [Low Morality].

[Received a 10000 industry fund!]

[Received a 10000 industry fund!]

……

Finally, Lin Shen arrived at a basketball court in a residential area near his home.

Most of the basketball players inside are high school students, and every now and then there are a few older guys showing off their hook shot three-pointers.

Those standing outside the basketball court were all adults.

Some were parents who came with their children, while others were working people who had just finished get off work.

They were dressed in formal attire, with their coats draped over their arms, their eyes filled with envy and admiration, but after answering a phone call, they turned and hurriedly left.

On the court, it's about dreams; off the court, it's about life.

Lin Shen once joined the college basketball team during his university years, but he never touched a basketball again after starting work.

Now, he's actually getting a little itchy to do it.

"Hey bro, just got off work?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit approached Lin Shen, offered him a cigarette, and started a conversation.

"How about we join in too? I think that game is short two players."

"Okay, I don't smoke, thank you."

Lin Shen waved away the middle-aged man's cigarette, then together with him, pretending to be casual passersby, they went to the side of the court, picked up the basketball that had bounced off the rim, and joined in the shooting without really understanding what was going on.

Boys are such strange creatures.

You remain silent, I remain silent, and we don't even know each other's names.

But once everyone was gathered, someone casually shouted "Let's play!" and everyone responded.

"it is good."

"How about Curry, the chubby uncle, the skinny uncle, and I form one group, and the old man, the handsome guy, and these two students form another group? Is that okay?"

"Okay, I won't play. I'll let you win."

"It's okay, it's okay, nobody knows how to play, we're just playing around."

Just playing around?
Lin Shen thought he had encountered a health preservation group, but it turned out that everyone there had a unique skill.

He was either incredibly accurate from three-point range or lightning-fast on-the-spot drives, which made him very embarrassed.

At first, Lin Shen was a little reserved, mainly responsible for passing and running outside the three-point line, creating scoring opportunities for others through screens.

On the contrary, the middle-aged man who struck up a conversation with him was very enthusiastic. Although his formal attire somewhat restricted him, his various crossover dribbling moves showed that he must have been a skilled basketball player in the past.

It's just that life and time have smoothed out their edges.

"Brothers, let's have a go."

The middle-aged man passed the ball to Lin Shen, then signaled to the others to spread out so he could play one-on-one.

"Stop just passing the ball, try something else."

"..."

Lin Shen hesitated for a moment, after all, he hadn't touched a ball in a long time, and his technique was definitely rusty.

But actions etched deep in memory will still be performed subconsciously.

Lin Shen lowered his center of gravity while holding the ball, took a step to the left to deceive the defense, then made a behind-the-back dribble to the right and drove hard to the basket.

Once the opposing defense picks up, use a crossover dribble and a pull-up jump shot.

The ball swished perfectly into the basket.

"Beautiful!"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but applaud.

"You're quite capable, young man! You've been keeping a low profile!" "Thank you."

Lin Shen smiled modestly and subconsciously clenched his hands.

He really didn't expect that a week of exercise would be so effective!

Lin Shen felt as if he had returned to his carefree college days, where he relied on his physical abilities to fight back and forth with these high school students.

He even got carried away at the last minute and dunked!
Bang——!
Unfortunately, the ball hit the rim and bounced out.

"Fuck!"

Seeing that Lin Shen, dressed in a shirt and trousers, could actually touch the basketball rim, everyone couldn't help but show surprised expressions.

Is this guy playing dumb to fool others?

That's clearly not the case.

Even Lin Shen himself didn't expect that his jumping height would be even higher than it was in college!

This thrilled him.

The 50% improvement in exercise effectiveness is not only reflected in weight loss, but also in physical fitness!

This "Sports and Health" app is really great!
"Dude! That's awesome!"

As the sun set and the basketball players gradually dispersed, the middle-aged man found Lin Shen, handed him a bottle of water, and introduced himself with a smile.

"My name is Zhang Guodong, what's yours?"

"The forest is deep."

Let's play ball together sometime.

Zhang Guodong waved to Lin Shen.

"I have to go now, see you again sometime!"

"okay."

Lin Shen watched Zhang Guodong leave after finishing his phone call, then let out a long, satisfying sigh.

Surprisingly, the first thing he did after leaving his job was play basketball!

It was so awesome!
Without financial pressure, you can do whatever you want!
"Wuhu!"

Lin Shen opened his arms and cheered again. No matter how he vented, he couldn't describe the indescribable feeling of freedom he felt at that moment.

This is life!
After returning home, Lin Shen took a shower and then cooked two ears of corn for dinner.

While eating, I sat at my computer desk and moved my work files into the same folder as a backup.

Finally, Lin Shen left all the messy group chats on WeChat, bidding a complete farewell to his working life.

"it's over!"

Lin Shen stretched, just as Xu Lei sent him a friend request.

After he agreed, he casually opened the girl's WeChat Moments and was immediately struck by her beauty.

It's full of exquisite lifestyle photos; her glamorous outfits are like those of a completely different person when she's at work.

Long legs in black stockings + atmospheric profile + luxurious dinner.

She has a very elegant, socialite vibe.

It's quite a contrast indeed.

Lin Shen's lips curled slightly, and just as he was about to exit WeChat, Xu Lei immediately sent him a message.

[Xu Lei: Brother Shen! Can you share your weight loss secrets? I see you've lost so much weight, I'm so envious!]
[Lin Shen: You're not fat.]
[Xu Lei: Where am I not fat? Look!]
[Xu Lei: Photo.jpg]
Lin Shen was stunned, because what Xu Lei sent was a photo of herself pinching her own black-stockinged legs.

Her voluptuous thighs looked extremely sexy in the black stockings.

This was something Lin Shen truly hadn't expected.

Sending this kind of photo right after adding someone as a friend?
Xu Lei's skill level is quite high...

Lin Shen replied by typing.

[Lin Shen: Eat less carbohydrates and exercise more; the most important thing is to stick to it]
[Xu Lei: Thanks for the suggestion, Brother Shen! I'm a bit lazy, so I need someone to keep me motivated. Want to work out together next time?]
[Lin Shen: Okay]
Lin Shen gave a casual reply, seemingly agreeing verbally, but in reality, he still held the initiative.

You think you can lure me in so easily?

Ah!
After being betrayed by his girlfriend, Lin Shen no longer believes in pure love.

All he wants now is to be a scumbag who neither takes initiative nor refuses!
