After hanging up the laundry, Lou Cheng locked the door and went back to his room. Lying on the edge of the bed, he couldn't calm down for a long time. He had an impulse to tell her everything.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Yan Zheke.
"Something happened after we finished the barbecue today …"
He tried his best to describe his relationship with Wang Xu, his thoughts when he saw Wang Xu being chased, and the change in his mood after having a deep conversation with him.
Yan Zheke asked questions from time to time, but didn't say much. When he finished, she said seriously, "Cheng, I think it's still the old saying that everyone has their own future. It doesn't have to be studying or martial arts … Speaking of this, I remember I told you this before. Then you can defeat a Professional Ninth Pin fighter in four months … Oh no, I'm so ashamed in front of you!"
She immediately sent an emoji of squatting in the corner and drawing circles.
Lou Cheng's gloomy mood was diluted a little. He couldn't help but say, "Actually, I thought what you said made sense at that time. I never thought I could reach the professional level so quickly."
"Don't interrupt. Do you still want to hear me out?" Yan Zheke said with a fierce emoji.
"You're the one who interrupted me …" Of course, Lou Cheng didn't dare to answer like this. He said with a silly smile, "Coach Yan, please go ahead!"
"Everyone has their own destiny. We're not gods, immortals, or gods. It's already amazing to be able to change the fate of the few closest to us. As for the others, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. We can't make decisions for them, nor can we force them to change their will." Yan Zheke didn't use an emoticon when she sent this message.
Lou Cheng exhaled and typed on the keyboard. "I understand that, but I always feel powerless and depressed. We used to be such good friends, but now we're in a completely different world. And there's nothing I can do. I can only watch."
"Cheng, most people are selfish, so am I. I draw circles with myself as the center. The innermost circle is my parents, who are close immediate family members. They are definitely more important than close friends and close friends. Friends are also divided into two categories. One can be good friends for life, and the other can only accompany you through a certain period of life. Just like two non-parallel lines, they intersect at some point, but because of different ideas, choices, characters, and encounters, they will drift apart sooner or later. Instead of meeting each other, it's better to miss each other. For you, Wang Xu should be in this category." Yan Zheke typed a lot of words.
It was the first time for Lou Cheng to see Yan Zheke seriously explaining her three values..........
"Then where is your future other half?" He asked subconsciously.
Yan Zheke sent a squinting emoji. "I'm not telling you ~ Are you listening to me carefully? Hit the table! "
"Yes, yes, yes. Go on, Coach Yan!" Lou Cheng held back his laughter and replied.
After some jesting, he felt that his mood had recovered a lot.
"If you can make a good friend for life, you must have something in common with yourself. Wang Xu obviously doesn't. Are you willing to give up your studies and fight for your life in the underworld? Are you willing to cause a lot of trouble for him and even affect your family? "Yan Zheke asked back.
Lou Cheng thought seriously and said, "I don't want him to affect my current life."
Yan Zheke sent an emoji of nodding repeatedly.
"Therefore, just as you said yourself, the two of you are already in completely different worlds. If he doesn't turn back, the gap will only grow wider and wider. Sooner or later, there will only be memories left. To put it cruelly, he is just an interlude in your life. It's enough that you helped him wholeheartedly within the limits of your abilities. Regrets are inevitable."
"My grandpa and grandma taught many disciples. Some joined the police, some joined the army, some worked hard in the professional martial arts circle, some mingled in the business world, and some went astray. There are many like them. Heroes break the rules with martial arts. My grandpa and grandma once felt sad and couldn't sleep because of this. They were furious because of this. Later, they finally thought it through. They tried their best to stop them and save them. That's enough. There's no need to take it to heart."
"It's hard to be perfect in life. I just want to have a clear conscience."
Lou Cheng looked at her quietly and was lost in thought. After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "I understand. It's good that I have a clear conscience. I'm just a freshman. I saved his life when we met and sincerely persuaded him to quit. I've done my best. There's no need to take it to heart."
"Not bad. You're worth teaching." Yan Zheke sent a proud emoji of pushing up her glasses. "Actually, you handled the matter very well today. You saved his life and didn't get involved in it. I used to fantasize that I would be a chivalrous hero after I mastered martial arts. But I was also worried that I would break the rules with martial arts and that there would be a lot of trouble in the future. What you did today satisfied all my fantasies about this kind of thing."
Lou Cheng was a little proud and happy. He sent a smirk emoji and said, "It's all because you taught me well, Coach Yan. 'Yan' teaches by example, 'Yan' teaches by example, 'Yan' teaches by example, 'Yan' teaches by example, 'Yan' produces a great disciple!"
"Pfft! You're getting better at using words! "Yan Zheke replied with an emoji of staring at a dog.
After such a confession and teasing, Lou Cheng's mood completely recovered. He even put on his signature silly smile. They chatted until 10 o 'clock. Then he reluctantly went to brush his teeth and take a shower, preparing to go to bed on time.
When he finished everything and lay on the bed, he found that Cai Zongming had finally come home. He logged on QQ, saw the message and replied.
"Secret? You're not a girl. I'm not interested in your secret, unless it's your dark history. "Classmate Xiaoming sent a naughty emoji of shaking a finger.
Lou Cheng replied to Yan Zheke first. Then he said to himself without caring whether Cai Zongming was interested or not, "I took a detour to Yanling on my way home this time. I participated in a Warrior Sage Challenge Tournament called 'Phoenix Cup'. Guess what result I got?"
"Damn. You're so far away. As for the result, do I even need to guess? You've already told me the full name of the tournament. I just searched it casually. Are you stupid? " On the other side of the Internet, Cai Zongming sat in front of the computer table, typing with both hands, habitually teasing Lou Cheng.
Lou Cheng snorted and muttered to himself, "That's the effect I want! Don't I know you well, Cai Xiaoming?
The result that I tell you is definitely not as shocking as the result that you search for yourself! "
Cai Zongming opened the browser and searched for the official website. He clicked in and read the news directly.
"The final, Jiang Lan VS Wang Ye? Professional Eighth Pin VS Professional Ninth Pin? "
"The third and fourth finals, Huang Zhenzhong VS Bai Song? It's also a battle between Professional Eighth Pin and Professional Ninth Pin … "
Cai Zongming read while twitching the corner of his mouth. He immediately sent a message to Lou Cheng.
"F * ck, I was actually fooled by you. With the level of this competition, your name must have been buried among the masses. How can you find it?!"
"Haha. Keep reading!" Lou Cheng didn't say much and waited for Xiaoming to find it himself.
Cai Zongming looked at the screen in confusion. He moved the mouse and suddenly found a news.
"Contestant 'No.656' Lou Cheng withdrew from the quarterfinals due to physical exhaustion."
"Quarterfinals?" He clicked in, suspecting that it was someone with the same name.
"No rank … Songcheng University student … Defeated Professional Ninth Pin …" After a while, he read the keywords silently. Then he picked up his phone without hesitation and called Lou Cheng.
"Cheng, you didn't ask someone to make a fake website, did you?" Cai Zongming blurted out as soon as the phone was connected.
Lou Cheng smiled proudly. "Damn. You're not Yan Zheke. Do I need to make a fake website to fool you? Do you need to be so smart with your IQ? "
"But you defeated Senior Brother Wu from the Martial Arts Club by running. It didn't take long … How did you advance from Amateur Ninth Pin to Professional Ninth Pin?" Cai Zongming couldn't hide his astonishment.
Lou Cheng tried to make his tone sound casual. "Not long? It's been three whole months! I've learned 24 Blizzard Strikes and improved my strength, speed, and body coordination. I've also gained a lot of experience in sparring. I've also watched a lot of Martial Arts Club matches. The initial opponents in this arena were relatively weak. I fought them one by one and gradually mastered 24 Blizzard Strikes. I also mastered Listening Skill and Mercurial Balance. With some luck, I finally made it into the top eight. "
Cai Zongming was silent for a while and then said, "… Cheng, why do I feel that you're showing off?"
"Yes, I'm showing off!" Lou Cheng couldn't help but laugh. "Come and beat me if you can. Beat me? Can you beat me? "
"Damn …" Cai Zongming was angry and amused. "I've never seen such a bitch like you! Just you wait. I'll join the Martial Arts Club for special training next semester. With my talent and Geezer Shi's guidance, I'll catch up with you in no time. Let's see how you'll show off then! "
Lou Cheng was satisfied and ready to go to bed. Before hanging up the phone, he said,
"There are videos of my matches on the Internet. Watch them carefully!"
Without waiting for Cai Zongming's reply, he hung up the phone and went to say goodnight to Yan Zheke.
After a few days of the Challenge Tournament, Yan Zheke knew that he got up at 5: 30 to train every day. She deeply admired him and acknowledged his improvement in strength.
Cai Zongming held his phone and was stunned for a moment. Then he found the videos and clicked on them.
As he watched, his mouth opened little by little but didn't close. When the videos were finished, he murmured to himself like he was sleep-talking,
"Is this a f * cking orange?"
"I feel like he could beat me several times …"
"He couldn't have been possessed by some old devil, right?"
Of course, such things didn't exist in reality. They only existed in novels.
…
At 5: 30 the next day, Lou Cheng got up on time. He put on his martial arts suit, took his phone and keys, and jogged to Jiang Fei's neighborhood for preliminary warm-up.
At this time, the sky was dark and there was no morning light. The street lights on both sides of the street were dim, illuminating the deserted silence and setting off more loneliness.
Lou Cheng's breath turned into fog. He arrived outside Jiang Fei's house in the cold. He gave him a call to confirm that he had gotten up.
After finishing the set of moves, which was the training routine, Lou Cheng saw Jiang Fei shivering out of the neighborhood. His white martial arts suit was grotesquely stretched by his fat.
He held back his laughter and said, "Let's run to warm up first."
"Okay!" After what happened yesterday, Jiang Fei was looking forward to practicing martial arts. "Cheng, where should we run?"
Lou Cheng had already planned the process. He pointed to the left and said, "Run to Sanli Pavilion and train in People's Park."
"Sanli Pavilion? People's Park? "Jiang Fei opened his mouth wide and his face was pale." You'd better kill me! "
It's at least ten kilometers!
