Lin Zhu didn't say that he would date Yi Jianli, but he also didn't say that he would reject the girl's love for him. In the end, he looked like he was giving her a chance to get close to him, but that was actually his polite way of rejecting her love.
Could it be that was his way of delaying the girl's moment of heartbreak? It wasn't that Lin Zhu cared about the girl's feelings, but he just didn't want to act recklessly when it was a girl on the national team who fell in love with him.
True, Yi Jianli was also part of the national team, and Lin Zhu knew that it would not be a wise decision for him to choose to date a girl on the team. He didn't want to experience being the next Ye Quan forced by Lu Mei to break up with his girlfriend, right?
