Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Courage

On Monday, when I was going to work, I saw Lu Licheng in the conference room. He was expressionless, as if nothing had happened. In the afternoon, Song Yi called me into the office, and the first thing he said was: "Did Lu Licheng know?" I nodded, and my heart began to feel uneasy again: "How do you know?" "The IT department is upgrading the system. In the future, all systems will have stricter authority classification. If anyone uses his password for others, he will be severely punished if he finds out. There is also an internal document that requires the files in the archives to be strictly Financial personnel are not allowed to read."

"Lu Licheng's proposal?" "Yes, so I think he should have found out about you." I kept silent and didn't speak. I didn't care what Lu Licheng did, so I couldn't say I was uncomfortable, but it was a bit uncomfortable. Who did Lu Licheng think of me as? Song Yi said gently: "He's not targeting you, he's just doing his job and protecting the overall interests of the company. If... If he finds you in private, if you have any inconvenience, you can tell me." Because of his protection, the discomfort in my heart disappeared immediately, and I said with a smile: "He should not trouble me anymore." Because he has already looked for it.

Song Yi nodded and let me go out. When I reached the door, I turned back and said, "Thank you!" He stared at the computer, but he didn't seem to hear it. I waited for a moment and saw that he hadn't moved. In disappointment, I gently opened the door and walked out of the room. The upgrade of the system did not cause any excessive comments. Anyway, every once in a while, there will always be a system improvement and update in the company.The focus of everyone's attention now is whether to participate in the basketball game. The human resources department planned to organize a basketball game, and sent mobilization emails to everyone's mailboxes to organize the newly recruited female college students in the past two years into a beautiful cheerleading team.

When the email was received, the men in the entire office seemed to be on drugs, and they sat around the computer and looked at it with smiles on their faces. Song Yi’s personal assistant, Karen, told me that the ultimate goal of this basketball game is only for a potential customer. The so-called potential customer means that we have a good chance to develop into a customer, and we also want to develop into a customer, but they are still holding hydrangeas and picking left Select right.It is said that several bosses of the other party like to play basketball, so Lu Licheng told the human resources department to organize people to play a friendly match with them.

As a non-profit core department, the human resources department usually has to rack its brains to make a fuss justly to show the existence value of its own department, let alone this time it really has a command arrow?Therefore, in order to better implement Lu Licheng's orders and select the best basketball players in the company, the human resources department decided to play a round inside the company first. I whispered in Karen's ear, "I think it's because some girls in the human resources department are worried about getting married. The human resources department is full of yin and yang, and the IT department is almost all men. Usually, the various departments do not communicate with each other, so much fat is lost. Outsider field?"

Karen's eyes lit up, and I saw her expression. The water I just drank almost spewed out. Now this basketball game, I don't have to worry about no one volunteering their spare time. Karen gave me a blank look, and said generously: "This way of knowing is very good! At least we have a common language. Even if we don't develop further, we still know a few more friends. It's better than a blind date." It seemed that she was another suffering friend who was deeply damaged by a blind date. I patted her on the shoulder and said everything without saying a word. The basketball game started in an atmosphere where men actively signed up and women actively participated.The human resources department made a big deal and directly rented the entire gymnasium, a total of four basketball courts, and the group round-robin game was played from Friday to Sunday, and the competition was completed in one weekend.

On Saturday night, our department played against Lu Licheng's department. Peter and the others were beaten as soon as they came on the field, and lost face in front of all the beauties. During the intermission, Karen and another female colleague Sandy simply ran to another field. Passing water and towels to teams in other departments, Peter and the others yelled, and I smiled and said to them: "If you want to enjoy the service of beautiful women, you must have your own strength!" Peter immediately said: "We called for foreign aid, one of my classmates is CS..." Everyone booed him in unison. MG and CS are old rivals. A few years ago, in order to grab the clients of a state-owned commercial bank, the two companies tried their best. In the end, the state-owned bank was also very good. Let us two jointly help it go public , The outcome of the two families is still in the balance, but Liang Zi is still tied.

I said angrily to Peter: "There is a god at the door of my house, and I still need to go to someone else's temple to invite him?" All the men looked at me with eager eyes, and I whispered, "Alex." "Where did you get the news?" "The news is reliable?" ... Everyone was chattering, I smiled and looked at the beautiful cheerleaders over there: "Believe it or not!" Song Yi came late and arrived at this time, wearing casual clothes, carrying a box of sports drinks, seeing that Karen was not there, he handed it to me, and asked me to pass a bottle to everyone.

He already knew that we lost, and comforted everyone by saying, "It's okay, there's still the second half." Everyone stared at him strangely, and he looked up and down at himself: "I'm not wearing the wrong clothes, am I?" Everyone shook their heads in unison, and Peter looked sad and angry: "Alex, you play basketball well, why don't you help us, see your subordinates being bullied, can you bear it? You didn't even see how we were beaten up just now." Peter is really good at singing and writing, and my goal has been achieved, so I suppressed a smile and hid aside.

Alex was stunned: "Who said I can play basketball well?" Everyone turned sideways and pointed at me, "Her!" My heartbeat stagnated, and I felt that the blood had stopped flowing, and I was afraid that my face would not look good.Seeing his expression, it seems that no one in the company knows that he can play basketball. I smiled reluctantly: "I guess, you are so tall, you will definitely not be let off by the basketball team in college." Peter and the others don't care how frightened I am. Seeing that Song Yi didn't deny it, they already understood that what I said was true. A group of people immediately rushed up, surrounded Song Yi, and begged him, and Song Yi finally nodded. Everyone Cheering and laughing, Song Yi looked at me from afar.

Peter yelled at me: "Armanda, what are you doing there? Go get Karen and Sandy back, these two traitors, we won later, and educate them." I nodded, and ran down the stands. When I passed them, I missed Song Yi's eyes, and hurriedly lowered my head, feeling uneasy, but I didn't regret it.It has been my wish for many years to stand behind him, watch him play basketball, and cheer for him openly. Karen didn't want to come back, I told her Song Yi was going to play, she and Sandy came back with me depressed.However, when Song Yi came out after changing his clothes, he was dressed in a white jersey, masculine and upright, both of them's eyes lit up, and seeing Song Yi casually making a one-handed three-pointer while familiarizing himself with the field, both of them screamed With a sound, Peter and the others immediately boosted their morale. I hugged my knees and sat on the stand, following Song Yi's figure intently.How familiar is the voice in my ear!The time between us seems to have never passed. In the first two years of college, I spent more time on the basketball court than in the study room.I watched him play in the sun, but he was always hiding in the dark. For countless days after that, I regretted that I didn't take the last step to go to the sun and tell him "I like you".Whether he accepts it is not important, what is important is that I never let him know that a girl once loved him like this.In this world, unrequited love is not painful. What is painful is that when you find out that you had the opportunity to tell the other party, but you didn't take it, and when you wake up, you no longer have the opportunity. The game begins, and the scenes of the past and present are interlaced. Song Yi started to run, as fast as the wind, and easily passed the three people with the ball. No one could stop his forward posture. When he turned around and kicked the ball easily into the basket, his Behind him was a crowd of people turning their backs on their backs, but he just turned around and looked at the crowd as he did many years ago, smiling with the corners of his mouth curled up, his eyes full of sunshine. This time, I didn't hide in the crowd like I did many years ago, shyly suppressing my desire to scream loudly. I screamed, jumped up, waved my fists and cheered. This is what I always wanted What I did, but what I didn't do, I dedicate to him the shy cheers that the girl suppressed for many years, together with my cheers today. When he saw my appearance, his smile froze for a moment, and when the opponent bumped into him, his body subconsciously moved sideways.Turned around, ran, leaned over and made a fake move to grab the ball, and successfully covered his teammate from dribbling the ball, but his eyes never moved away, he kept looking at me, and I also fixedly stared at him. It belonged to the crying girl hiding under the quilt. How many eleven years are there in life?Eleven years later, I still love you!And you are still here! Just as we were staring at each other across the field, the other side scored a goal, the audience applauded, Peter yelled angrily, I glanced at the scoreboard, 38:61, smiled at him, and made a clenched fist He also happened to turn around after reading the scoreboard, and when he saw my posture, he bent his mouth and smiled indifferently, with pride and confidence in his eyes, and a little mischievousness. While running, he gestured to his teammates. Peter and the others were full of enthusiasm and strength, but they lacked the traction of a soul.This time, he will not be distracted, nor will he show mercy, so this will be the land he rules, and he will take them wherever they want.And here I am, waiting to join him on the next charge. With a feeling in my heart, I met a pair of dark eyes in my sideways eyes.I don't know when Lu Licheng arrived. He was dressed in casual clothes and stood with his arms folded. I don't know if it was a coincidence or everyone around him avoided him. All the seats were empty. There was a bit of sharpness in his eyes, and the seemingly casually folded arms revealed a strong sense of alienation and indifference.But I am very happy today, I just want to share my happiness with everyone, so I smiled at him sweetly, turned my head, and concentrated on watching Song Yi play. 4061, 4361, 4561, 4863, 5063, 5363... Maybe because of Song Yi's joining, maybe because of the dramatic twist of the game, the audience in other venues were absent-minded and frequently Looking at our field, several beauties from the cheerleaders stood directly to our side, waving bouquets and cheering for us: "Come on! Come on..." Peter and the others were cheered by beauties, and even ran vigorously throughout the field, but the opponent's morale was exhausted, and the score was even closer, 5563, 5863, 6063, 6363! I yelled "Yeah, yeah" and jumped up dancing. Karen was also cheering, but seeing my madness, she just stared at me dumbfounded.Song Yi's eyes turned from the stands, he seemed to be looking at me, but he didn't seem to be looking at me. Before I could catch his gaze, he moved away. The opponent called a timeout. Lu Licheng was wearing a black jersey and replaced a player from their department. Obviously he was going to play. Lu Licheng and Song Yi faced off!All the people in the stands fell silent suddenly, even the players on the side court couldn't concentrate on playing, and looked this way frequently. Sandy took a deep breath and said, "It's not in vain tonight, it's really wonderful!" I hurriedly asked, "How is Lu Licheng's technique?" Karen shook her head blankly: "I don't know! I only saw him playing tennis with a client. He played well. I don't know about basketball. It's just that he wants to lead the team to play basketball with that client to win over the other party. It should be fine!" The whistle sounded and the game continued.Everyone in the court, no matter where they are, is staring at our basketball court.The female manager of the human resources department saw that everyone was not interested in playing again, so she simply discussed with the referee and called a long timeout to let the players in the other three venues rest. Everyone cheered and gathered around and started watching the game. Lu Licheng's playing style is completely different from Song Yi's.Song Yi is elegant and agile, while Lu Licheng is steady and vigorous. Song Yi relies on his agility, excellent jumping ability and sense of the ball to hit the opponent's defense line with the ball like a stroll in the garden; while Lu Licheng is good at organizing a defense without omission And adaptable group attacks, if Song Yi is like a sharp dagger, Lu Licheng is like a thick sword, if Song Yi is compared to an invincible general, Lu Licheng is like a marshal planning strategies. Before Lu Licheng played, Song Yi led the team and kept going forward, and the score rose steadily, but the game was not confrontational, and the visibility was very poor.After Lu Licheng came on the field, he successfully organized two defenses, and his morale was immediately boosted. Song Yi's charge was blocked steadily, but because of the obstacles, his true level was gradually revealed. When you meet a good talent, you meet an opponent in chess. The audience enjoys a double contest of physical strength and intelligence in the back and forth between Song Yi and Lu Licheng.The arena was sometimes silent and sometimes cheering. The wonderful confrontation between Song Yi and Lu Licheng made everyone hearty and mesmerized. Song Yi's offense was blocked many times, and Lu Licheng's striker took the opportunity to score two goals in a row, and they took the lead again.The beauties in the cheerleading team started an "infighting", some supported Lu Licheng, some supported Song Yi, the barriers were clearly defined, and each was self-confident.Except for those of us in our department who dare not choose at will, the audience in the stands has already made a clear camp according to their personal preferences. Some people are against Lu Licheng to win, and some are against Song Yiying. I don’t know how they organized it. It was worked out, and each cheered for their respective teams. I ran to the front row and grabbed a whistle. As soon as Song Yi organized an attack, I blew it desperately. Seeing my appearance, Young also went to grab a whistle. Every time Lu Licheng broke through the midfield, she would blow it desperately.The two groups of us stared at each other, each of us looked at each other disliked, and we all tried our best to make our voices louder and louder. Amid the screams of the whistle, Song Yi finally succeeded in breaking through, jumped high, and easily sent the ball into the basket. I immediately blew the whistle, put my hands around my mouth, and shouted: "Song Yi! Song Yi! Song Yi..." My cry was indistinguishable from everyone's cheers and the almost ear-shattering "Alex", but when Song Yi turned around, his gaze paused slightly in my direction, and I smiled happily. Lu Licheng called a timeout, walked to the edge of the court with his team members, drank water and talked in a low voice. When his eyes glanced at me, he was very gloomy, and I cursed inwardly. I'm not used to it!I prefer to call! When the three women in our department rushed to the opposite side with drinks, Song Yi and the others were surrounded by a group of beauties. Those who handed water handed water, and those who delivered towels delivered towels. Karen stopped in her tracks and shook her head at me: "Now The little girls are so enthusiastic! Although we know that Alex is the fifth son of a diamond, we also know that he is the boss!" I had already stopped, but I suddenly remembered that I had stopped countless times before. I bought the Red Bull early, hoping to hand it to him after the game. I never hoped to talk to him. I just hoped that he could drink the drink I bought. When I handed it to him, I just held the can tightly. From the beginning to the end, when I left, the can was deformed by my grip. I took a deep breath and squeezed into the crowd with a drink. Song Yi was bowing his head to tie his shoelaces. When he finished tying his shoes, when he looked up, he saw countless bottles of drinks lying in front of him, waiting for him to take them. Peter and the others all laughed strangely, waiting to see a good show, but Song Yi had long been used to it and had his own way of coping. He smiled slightly, turned and left: "Thank you, I have it myself." When I turned around and saw me, I handed the drink in front of him, my wrists trembling a little, he was taken aback for a moment, took it, opened it, took a sip, and then ordered casually: "Go and move another box, put it here." Completely The tone of the boss to his subordinates. I answered "yes" happily. It doesn't matter why he took my drink, the important thing is that I finally sent it out. But just like that, a group of beauties around me were already extremely envious, and surrounded Karen and me and asked, "Are there any vacancies in your department? What are the requirements for entering your department?" Karen hurriedly dragged me back, but the situation on Young's side was a bit better. The beauties from all departments were surrounded by other people. Within three steps of Lu Licheng, only Helen was alone.After he finished drinking the water and walked towards his team members, the ladies around him immediately dispersed spontaneously so that they could concentrate on deploying the next battle plan. Helen put Lu Licheng's used towel and water bottle aside, and sat back quietly in her seat. Karen stared at Helen for a while and sighed softly.I braced my neck and kept looking at what Song Yi and the others were doing. Hearing Karen's sigh, I looked at her inexplicably: "What's wrong with you? Could it be that you actually support Lu Licheng and the others in your heart?" Karen pinched me: "You are crazy tonight! It's like two people in the office!" I laughed haha: "Because I am a young and beautiful girl tonight, and I am realizing my dream many years ago." Karen doesn't bother to listen to my crazy words: "Helen has been with Elliott for seven years, from a text entry clerk to Elliott's first personal assistant today. No matter what happens in the company, Helen is Elliott's person. It hasn't changed." "Really?" I said absently. Karen looked thoughtful: "I think Elliott is probably not what he looks like on the outside. He should be a very long-term person and treat people well, otherwise Helen would not be so loyal to him. At least, I have already I have been the personal assistant of several bosses, but I never feel that anyone is worth my life for them, and even after a long time, I will not be able to bear many of their tempers and take the initiative to change jobs.” I cooed and said, "Maybe she has a crush on Elliott." As soon as I finished speaking, I wanted to slap myself. Helen just got married last month, and I treat a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart. I stuck out my tongue: "Where's Alex? What do you think of him?" Karen smiled decently: "He's my boss, and I'm his personal assistant." She paused for a moment, but couldn't help it, and whispered, "Alex is a very nice person, the best waiter I've ever met , the most unassuming boss, but because he is so nice, polite, and polite, I have been with him for more than half a year, but it is still the same as the first day I met him." I understood what she meant. Lu Licheng used indifference and alienation as a means of refusing others to approach, while Song Yi used politeness as a means of refusing others to approach. The two seem completely different at first glance, but in fact they lead to the same goal by different routes. The applause suddenly sounded, and Lu Licheng scored again. I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and immediately concentrated on watching the game. When the opponent came to intercept, Song Yi flicked his right hand, as if the ball was about to pass to the right, but actually the ball turned around from behind and passed to the left.nice shot!While applauding, I blew the whistle a few times. Lu Licheng and his team were near the stands. Several people who heard the whistle stared at me, and I stared back mercilessly.Lu Licheng was in the backcourt, but he didn't turn his head, but kept his back straight.With the back of his hand behind him, he quickly made a few gestures. When the ball was passed back to Song Yi, their formation had changed. With Lu Licheng and the other two at the center, they formed an inverted triangle defensive formation. Responding to the separation from Song Yi, while blocking Song Yi from continuing to dribble the ball deeper, Song Yi was trapped in the opponent's encirclement alone. With the help of his flexible posture, he frequently avoided various interceptions, trying to break out of the tight encirclement, and stalemate three or four times. Seconds later, Lu Licheng took advantage of the gap between Song Yi and the other two to make a sudden cut from an angle that Song Yi had never expected, and successfully snatched the ball from Song Yi. Cheers erupted from the stands, and Young picked it up. The whistle blew at me, and I muttered, "Three against one, it's not fair, it's not fair!" Karen applauded and praised the excitement, and said: "Basketball is a team game, and it is its spirit to win through individual cooperation. How is it unfair?" Of course I know!It's just that people are biased.However, I had to admire Lu Licheng's wonderful tactics just now, so I applauded a few times along with everyone. Originally, it was a good thing that Song Yi's outstanding personal tactics were a good thing. Previously, Song Yi relied on his super strong personal skills to lead the whole team into the enemy's backcourt like a dagger and successfully scored goals, but Lu Licheng turned it into a bad thing. Taking advantage of Song Yi's outstanding personal skills in the team, his teammates couldn't immediately follow up regardless of his running speed, sense of ball, and sense of direction. With Song Yi's charge, he seized this lagging point and cut off Song Yi and his teammates. As a result, Song Yi's army went deep and lost in the end. Amid the applause, Lu Lichengfang scored again, and the score continued to lead, and the gap gradually widened again.At this time, there are only eleven minutes left in the game. While running slowly, Song Yi looked around, at his teammates, and at the other party. Karen looked at his watch and said: "None of Lu Licheng and the others have outstanding skills, but their strength is average, and Lu Licheng's tactics are so brilliantly used. On our side, one or two of Peter and the others are weak, while Song Yi is too strong, and the gap between strength and weakness is too great." Big, but the cooperation is full of loopholes, it seems that it is very difficult for us to win!" I stared at Song Yi's running figure and said firmly, "No! We will definitely win!" Song Yi organized an attack again, and everyone immediately noticed the change.Song Yi deliberately slowed down his speed. He concealed his dazzling personal brilliance, turned into an ordinary star, and promoted the offensive speed with his teammates. The ball was passed between them in an orderly manner. At the same time, Song Yi Yi used his good judgment on the ball situation to organize the team to change formation at any time to counter the defensive counterattacks organized by Lu Licheng. Song Yi's dazzling performance before made the opponent more nervous the closer he was to the rebound, and the defensive focus inevitably fell on him. He bowed his head and passed a pass from his crotch to Peter, who was ignored by everyone. Peter caught the ball, bypassed a person and made a successful layup. The glory of the goal was condensed on Peter, and Song Yi only turned into a passer. Peter excitedly raised his jersey and shouted wildly, all the people in the stands gave him the warmest applause. Song Yi became unremarkable on the field, and it was difficult for everyone to appreciate his gorgeous bounce and perfect goals from him, but his teammates began to shine, although they were not dazzling, they could score goals.Although Song Yi didn't score a goal, Lu Licheng couldn't give up his focus on defending Song Yi, because he was as sharp as the tip of a dagger, and everyone had already experienced it. Although Song Yi missed a goal, the score gradually narrowed. In the last two minutes, the score gap was two points.The two sides were fiercely competing on the field, and the supporters of both sides were red-eyed and shouted with all their strength.Instead, I couldn't scream, I just stood there holding my breath, thinking "we will win" in my heart. The two sides were at a stalemate on the court, the ball was controlled by the white jersey for a while, and the black jersey for a while.It seems that Lu Licheng quickly adjusted his tactics again, taking advantage of their two-point lead and pushing the defensive line forward, so that even if Peter or others got the ball and wanted to lay up, they would have enough time to adjust their defensive focus and intercept it successfully . The white attack could not find any gaps to break through in front of the black city wall, and the time was passing by rapidly, and the countdown had reached the end. 59, 58, 57, 56... The ball was passed to Song Yi again. In the last forty seconds, there were three people defending him, including Lu Licheng. It was absolutely impossible for him to break through the defensive line and shoot. 30, 29, 28... Song Yi suddenly turned his mouth up and laughed. While laughing, he slammed the ball violently to the right. Lu Licheng quickly moved to the right to defend, and at the same time formed a right-leaning cone, covering Song Yi in the cone-shaped defensive force circle. However, Song Yi's body suddenly stopped in a high-speed motion, and the body of the defender was still running to the right in inertia. At the moment his body stopped, his right hand turned outwards, an arc, and the ball passed from behind him. Entering the left hand, his body jumped high on the spot, leaning to the left in the air, and sent the ball far away with his left hand, and the ball flew over the heads of everyone. 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4... The ball went into the basket, and the moment the ball hit the ground, the whistle sounded for the end of the game.There was a moment of silence in the stands before screams broke out. 7372 The last three-pointer confirmed Song Yi's victory. Karen couldn't believe it, and while jumping with me in her arms, she said, "Win! We won!" Peter and the others couldn't believe it either, they froze for a while, then hugged each other crazily, and rushed to hug Song Yi, regardless of his objection, lifted him up high, cheered and walked.He was helplessly embarrassed for a moment, and finally burst out laughing. He held up his hands and accepted everyone's congratulations. There was an undefended smile on the corner of his crooked mouth, and his eyes were full of triumphant and joyful light. At this moment, he was like They are children, or rather, they are like children, and they celebrate their victories in the most instinctive way of boys. I lowered my head and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes. I finally saw him smile like this again.He is just him now, not a man with various titles. When I looked up, I saw Lu Licheng alone in the corner of the stand, drinking water quietly. Amidst the thunderous cheers, everyone's eyes were focused on the man who was laughing and celebrating the victory. The corner where he was was surprisingly quiet.After drinking the water, he quietly picked up the luggage bag, and walked out without changing his clothes. The lights in the arena were bright, and the lights became darker as he got to the edge, and his figure became more and more blurred, and soon disappeared into the darkness middle. It was a long time after he left that someone responded and asked, "Where's Elliott?" Everyone shook their heads, wondering where he had gone. "Maybe in the locker room." "Probably in the shower! Elliott has a slight cleanliness obsession and can't tolerate the smell of sweat. Every time he finishes playing tennis, he has to take a shower and change clothes immediately." Helen was ordered by Lu Licheng to take care of a slightly sprained colleague just now, and she didn't pay attention, so facing everyone's inquiries at this time, she could only shake her head: "It should be taking a shower!" I opened my mouth, but closed it again. After the game, everyone left one after another. There were fewer and fewer people in the stadium. Only our department and some colleagues who had a personal relationship with Peter were still there. Peter was a night owl and clamored to celebrate. Karen showed him his watch, but he didn’t bother Said: "It's only eleven o'clock, and the nightlife has just begun." Song Yi packed up his clothes and said, "Go and play recklessly, I'll pay for it." Everyone cheered: "What about you?" Song Yi glanced at the few ladies who were dawdling by the side of the arena: "I'm going, how do you play? I'm an old man, I'd better be conscious and go home to sleep." Peter and the others laughed, and knew that what Song Yi said was true. After all, he was the boss. People from one of our departments got to know him well, and knew that he was careless, but people from other departments would not think so, so, Peter A group of them all "abandoned" Song Yi to start the night life they just started. Sandy's boyfriend came to pick her up. Karen and I discussed taking a taxi home together. Song Yi heard this and said with a smile, "Adding me will ensure your safety even more." We all know that he hasn't bought a car since he returned to China. At this time, someone offered to pay the bill, and Karen immediately agreed. It’s the same for Karen and I to send off first, and it’s inevitable to go back. She and I humbly said to send each other first. Karen is really polite, but I am full of selfishness, so the motivation of the two is completely different. , seeing that I was about to win, Song Yi made the decision for us: "Give Armanda first!" My heart tightened, and I looked at him out of the corner of my eye. He smiled as usual, nothing unusual.In the lingering disappointment, I can only be relieved.The concubine has a heart, but the man has no intention. I can't blame others for being confused. After all, Karen is his personal assistant, and he is half of his own. This is how he treats guests. Rationality is rationality, but the mood is a depression that cannot be dispelled. He treats me like a guest! After getting out of the car and saying goodbye to them politely, the first thing I did was to call Malatang: "I'm very annoying and I need a drink." "Grandma, I'm at my parents' house now and I can't get out." Malatang's voice was very low. I had no choice but to hang up the phone. I wanted to go upstairs, but it was always uncomfortable. I simply ran back to the intersection, called a taxi, and rushed to a bar near my home alone. This bar is not a famous bar, and the location is not good, so even though it is a weekend, there are not many people.However, I happen to like its quietness and proximity to home, so I often drink and chat with Malatang here. As soon as we entered the door, we found that there was already someone in the seat we used to sit, and it was an acquaintance.Lu Licheng still wore the jersey, but he added a windproof jacket on the outside. His behavior at this time obviously did not conform to the behavior of a person with a slight cleanliness. He listened to the low singing of the guitarist and poured himself a drink.In this small bar where no one knew him, he finally released a little bit of his inner emotions, there was no sharpness between his brows, only loneliness, and suppressed pain.Such a strong pain, it seems that if he is not suppressed well, if he is not careful, he will completely collapse. I thought about it, walked to the side of the bar and asked the boss for a bottle of beer. When paying the bill, I greeted the boss in a low voice: "Help me keep an eye on that person. If he is drunk, he must not drive away by himself. Help him." Call a taxi." The boss readily agreed. I quietly left the bar, took a beer, and drank it while walking. The cold wind and cold beer made people feel cold from head to toe. Song Yi, he is like shrouded in a cloud of fog. His politeness and friendliness make everyone think that he is easy to get close to, but he uses his politeness and friendliness to keep a distance that is neither too far nor too close to everyone. distance.I tried my best to approach him, but every time I thought I had succeeded, he always easily pushed me back. He is not him.Back then, the smile on the corners of his lips was never a mask to keep distance, and the depths of his eyes were not so dark that he couldn't see clearly.But he is still him. Tonight, on the basketball court, he is exactly the same as he was many years ago, and the brightness in his eyes is just like the boy who smiled brightly in the sun back then. But I'm not the same person I was then, and I never had the guts to do everything I did tonight.But I am still me, I still love him, only more than before, not less than before. Half an hour later, I opened the door and threw the empty beer bottle in the trash.Turning on the computer casually, Song Yi's message popped up. "Are you at home?" "Are you there?" "Are you here?" "If online, please contact me." There are four messages in a row, although each sentence is very ordinary, but together, it makes people feel that the person who sent the message is very anxious that I am not online. I hurriedly sat down: "Excuse me, I just got home, what's the matter?" "It's all right. It's late." "There was an event in the evening. After the event, I went to the bar to drink some wine." "one person?" "one person." "Happy wine, unhappy wine?" I thought about it seriously before replying: "I am both happy and unhappy. The happy thing is that no matter what he or I look like, I still love him; the unhappy thing is that no matter what he or I look like, he still loves him." not love me." After a while, his message arrived: "Why don't you give up on him? Where there is no grass in the world, there must be Lanzhi within three steps." Why not give up?I braced my chin, thinking of the rain and sunshine that day... Song Yi has always been the prince in school, because he studies well, looks good, and plays basketball well. There are many girls who follow him, but they really dare to like him There are not many of him, after all, he is a student of a key high school, his IQ is not low, and everyone's minds are also precocious. He abandoned Qiong Yao early in the morning and looked at Yi Shu. Based on the principle of loving handsome guys more than himself, there are not many people They are willing to be silly moths in romance novels, so towards Song Yi, the girls tacitly maintain an attitude of watching from afar, but never getting close.I am also one of these girls, we will talk about Song Yi in the dormitory meeting, we will skip class to watch Song Yi play basketball, and when Song Yi passes by our classroom, we will stick our heads on the glass window to peek, Playing the nympho role of a manga girl, but none of us would imagine what it would be like for Song Yi to be her boyfriend. If it has been like this, my life trajectory may not be what it is today. According to my grades, I will go to an ordinary key undergraduate course, maybe I will meet a boy, and then we will fall in love on campus.Many years later, I may think of Song Yi when I lament the youthful years, but his specific appearance must have been blurred.However, everything took a completely different path on a rainy day when I was seventeen. At that time, Song Yi had already graduated from high school and was admitted to Tsinghua University. Maybe it was an invitation from a friend, or maybe he missed his old school. On a summer afternoon with light rain, he played basketball with a few friends on the basketball court.Song Yi has always been playing basketball, and there must be crowds of spectators, but this time because it is summer vacation, there is no one in the school, only they are running and cheering on the basketball court. I have forgotten why I went to school that day, anyway, I went, and I heard their cheers, so I followed the cheers and walked to the basketball court.When I was approaching, I hesitated, standing in the birch forest and not daring to take another step. At that time, the sun broke through the clouds, and the rain was half off. In the drizzle, the sunlight was light and thin, and the leaves of the birch forest were as green as drops. Blow out wisps of grass and trees. The whole world is fresh, bright, and bright, and they, the group of youths in their primes, are the most touching strokes in this picture. Everyone's clothes were soaked, and their faces couldn't tell whether it was sweat or rain. When they ran, they often brought a series of water droplets, which were reflected by the sun, and there were colorful rays of light between the changes of light and shadow.Coupled with tight and shapely muscles, bright and pure eyes, a tall and vigorous figure, full of powerful pursuit and confrontation, I realized the meaning of the four words "masculine beauty" for the first time. The men in front of me are really all They are all walking like a dragon and a tiger. Afraid of destroying the picture in front of him, he didn't dare to move, so he could only stand under the tree and watch quietly.At that time, I didn't think that my eyes would fall more on Song Yi. In my eyes, each of them was the beauty of sports, sunshine, and youth. A man came limping in the distance, everyone on the playground stopped, and someone scolded him: "Look at your watch, what time is it?" Someone else asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? You're so sluggish?" Someone came to the side of the playground and said: "I can't fight today, you continue to fight!" Everyone gathered around him, cursing and asking: "Da Zhu, if you fart, let it go!" "Da Zhu, what happened to your leg? Where did the injury on your face come from?" After being questioned by everyone, they finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that Da Zhu's girlfriend was pursued by a gangster. The gangster warned him several times, but he ignored it.Today the gangster finally resorted to violence, four people blocked him in an alley near the school and beat him up. After everyone listened, there was nothing to do but to persuade him to be more careful in the future, Da Zhu held his head and said nothing.Unexpectedly, Song Yi, who has the gentlest personality, smashed the basketball in his hand to the ground, and the basketball bounced high and flew far away. "Too much bullying! Let's go! This place must be found today!" Da Zhu held his head and said dumbly, "They have knives in their hands." Song Yi raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly with disdain: "It's a big deal to lick blood!" Everyone stared at him blankly, Song Yi looked at him with a cold face, "what's there to be afraid of, we are more people or they are more people? Doesn’t count? And you, Da Zhu, you can’t even protect your own woman, what are you doing? You have the strength to hold your head and cry, but you don’t dare to go out and fight?” They were all hot-blooded young men, excited by Song Yi's words, everyone became anxious and shouted in unison: "Who is afraid?" Da Zhu jumped up: "Let's go!" Da Zhu took the lead to lead the way, and a group of people rushed out of the school impassionedly like soldiers rushing to the front line. In the birch forest, I stooped to pick up the basketball that rolled to my feet, but lost a girl's heart.Maybe every girl yearns for a hero, longs for a pair of arms to protect herself, and hopes for a man who can get angry at the crown and draw his sword to become a beauty.The appearance of Song Yi at that moment made me feel the feelings of a man. In my eyes, he is no longer just a boy with good character and learning, but a man who is responsible and does what he does. I am holding a basketball, standing in the birch forest, the world is so quiet, as if it has stopped turning, only my heart is beating so fast, I already faintly understand that from today, my world will not be the same as before , There are secret joys and sorrows. When they returned, many people lost their lottery, but all of them looked excited, put each other's shoulders, and sang loud and clear military songs, and the singing resounded through the playground.They are like a group of warriors returning from victory. Song Yi is surrounded by them in the middle. One of his eyes is black and blue, half of his face is red and swollen, and there are bloodstains around his lips. His image is really not good, but he is the most handsome in my memory. moment. They were looking for the ball around, laughing loudly, discussing who was the hero, who was the bear, who was usually the coolest, but who was the coward just now, and finally agreed that Song Yi is "the dog who can't bark is the best." will bite." I walked up to Song Yi, and said to him who was bent over looking for a ball in the grass: "Is this your basketball?" He raised his head: "Yes! Thank you, thank you!" The moment he raised his head, the sun just broke free from the dark clouds, and the light suddenly brightened, but his smile was brighter than the sun. I handed the ball to him silently, and he held the ball and asked, "Are you studying here?" I nodded: "September will be the second year of high school," "Xiaoxiaomei, thank you!" He smiled and turned to leave. My heart was swollen, and I couldn't tell whether it was sweet or bitter. With the sensitivity and inferiority unique to girls, I seemed to be very rational and calm and said: "My grades are not good, I can't get into Tsinghua University, and I can't bear the burden of a primary school girl." call." He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at me with disapproval in his eyes: "You still have two years, it's too early to set yourself up to lose now! As long as you think about it, you can! Study hard, I'm in Tsinghua University Wait for you." He smiled at me, his confident smile was shining on me like a little bit of sunshine. He waved to me and strode towards the court: "I found the basketball!" Everyone saw the basketball in his hands and cheered at the top of their voices, and quickly gathered on the basketball court from all directions. They started playing basketball again, and while they were jumping and running wantonly, their youth was flying vigorously and burning in the sun. For the first time, I felt that I could be so confident and soaring, that is the true nature of youth! I clenched my fists tightly, stared at his figure, and heard his voice over and over again: "I'm waiting for you at Tsinghua University." How many nights, when everyone in the dormitory was already asleep, I read the book under the light of the bathroom door; how many mornings, when everyone was still dreaming, I held the English textbook and memorized each word.I also worked hard for a semester, but my math grades were still not good. I also did countless sets of chemistry problems, but my chemistry didn't advance but retreated.It's not that there are no moments when you are tired, slack, frustrated and want to give up, but every time you feel that you are stupid than others and want to give up, you will always think of the disapproval between his brows, his smile, and those little bits and pieces that fall into your heart. Sunshine, so, always hugging the exam papers, hiding in bed and crying a lot, clenched his fists, and set off again. can i give him upI typed on the keyboard: "Abandoning him is like giving up all my dreams and courage, never!" A line of words soon appeared on the screen: "The sea can be turned into a mulberry field. Nothing in the world can last forever, including your love." I don't like such a dignified conversation atmosphere, so I jokingly said to him: "There must be Lanzhi within three steps, if you are willing to be this Lanzhi, I will consider giving up him, how about it?" After sending out the words, I began to regret my recklessness, But it's too late to regret. "?, I'm a rotten piece of wood, but I know a lot of Lanzhi, and I can introduce it to you at any time." I sighed lightly: "Thank you, thank you! Save your Lanzhi for me, and when my mother forces me to marry with a knife, I will come to you." As in the previous days, the two chatted endlessly but happily, and then said good night to each other and went to bed. In my dream, I dreamed of the campus of Tsinghua University. He was playing basketball. At the age of nineteen, I stood nervously and shyly by the side of the basketball court. When everyone chanted "Song Yi, Song Yi", I timidly bit my lip , finally, I also shouted out: "Song Yi, Song Yi..." He turned his head brightly, and in that look, I was there!
