Back in the living room, Lou Cheng sat on the other side of the sofa. While listening to the adults chatting, he took out his phone and sent a message to Yan Zheke.
"I've sent out the gifts. My parents like them very much. They said the design is very good!"
Yan Zheke said proudly with her teeth shining, "Look at whose taste it is!"
"That's right. Your taste is much better than mine!" Lou Cheng complimented, "Coach Yan, please guide me in the future!"
Yan Zheke sent a shocked emoji, "What else do you want to learn other than martial arts?"
"Yeah. You're my life coach!" Lou Cheng sent a snickering emoji.
You'll help me solve my single problem!
Yan Zheke sent an emoji of touching its chin and pondering. "How can someone be your life mentor so casually? No matter what, we still have to pass the eighty-one trials! "
"What tests? I'm ready! "Lou Cheng sent a roaring emoji.
Yan Zheke sent an emoji rolling its eyes, "… I haven't decided yet. Let's talk about it later."
"Alright then. Just now when my parents received the gift, they were saying 'Aiya, keep the money for yourself' while clutching the clothes tightly, as if they were afraid that I would snatch it back." Lou Cheng diverted the topic.
Yan Zheke covered her mouth and laughed, "Adults are all like this. Although they say no, their bodies are very honest."
While they were chatting casually, Lou Cheng listened to what his grandparents were talking about. At the same time, he sent New Year greetings to Cai Zongming, Zhao Qiang, Jiang Fei and other friends on QQ. At the same time, he browsed the Longhu Club forum.
The forum was in a festive mood. Posts from friendly forum members were everywhere. Lou Cheng glanced through them and found the post of the little girl "Wonton Seller", replying to it with one sentence.
Not long after, "Wonton Seller" @ him, "Little Tiger, why haven't I seen you online recently? Are you busier during the holidays? "
"Yes, I'm busy. I'm busy with training, visiting relatives, and meeting my high school classmates. But I'm also browsing the forum, just lurking and not talking." Lou Cheng replied.
Due to the poor learning environment in junior high school, he didn't have much in common with his classmates and had stopped contacting them. The remaining few were basically childhood friends like Wang Xu from kindergarten to junior high school.
Wonton Seller sent a funny emoji, "Are you here to wish everyone a happy new year?"
"Yes! Happy New Year! "Lou Cheng replied.
Wonton Seller raised a big finger and shook it, "Insincere! Quick, join this group and send Red Envelopes to snatch them! "
Seeing this group ID, Lou Cheng copied it and switched to QQ. He chose to search and found that the group name was "Longhu Club Forum Spam Group".
After answering the verification question with the nickname "Schrodinger's Tiger", Lou Cheng was quickly added. There were only about 30 people in the group, most of whom he was familiar with. For example, the forum moderator, Pig-Riding Knight, Wonton Seller, Above the Sky, A Plumber Eating Mushrooms, Aquamarine, Brahman, Unparalleled Dragon King, Okamoto's Love, Invincible Punch, Road to the Arena, and so on.
.............. Lou Cheng chuckled softly and sent a red packet of twenty RMB.
In the blink of an eye, all the red packets were received. Pig-Riding Knight said, "Welcome, Little Tiger. How's your martial arts training going?"
"Not bad. I'm almost at the professional level!" Lou Cheng deliberately sent a laughing emoji with arms akimbo.
Road to the Arena laughed, "You have to explain the specific meaning of the word 'fast'. In terms of the scale of the universe, three to five years is unimaginably fast. "
The others joked one after another. The atmosphere was quite lively. Just then, Brahman sent a red packet with 20 red packets of 10 yuan.
Lou Cheng was inexperienced in snatching red packets. He missed the red packet as he was chatting with Yan Zheke. He had to look at Brahman's profile picture. She must have used a picture of herself. Her hair was braided on both sides, hanging in front of her body. She had delicate features and looked quite cute.
"She's really a kid in the first grade …" Lou Cheng whispered to himself. He had heard on the forum that Brahman had just graduated from primary school and looked very childish. Her post seemed to confirm this, but he couldn't be sure after seeing the picture with his own eyes.
"Those who have received my red packet, go and support this post for me!" Brahman sent a whip-waving emoji with a link to the post.
Although he didn't get a red packet, Lou Cheng clicked on it out of curiosity. He saw the title:
"Lou Cheng Forum is here to give a New Year's greeting. Welcome to visit again and increase your popularity ~ ~"
Lou Cheng Forum … What the hell is this? Lou Cheng's mouth was half open. He was stunned.
There is such a thing as Lou Cheng Forum?
He was stunned for a moment and clicked on the link in the post.
The new forum page opened. The first thing he saw was his own picture standing in the arena.
"Damn, it's really my forum … When was it set up?" Lou Cheng was surprised, excited, and happy at the same time. He looked down at the introductory text of the forum.
"This is the private forum of Lou Cheng of the Martial Arts Club of Songcheng University. Everything about him is recorded here. Welcome to join us and protect his growth."
"Protect …" Lou Cheng muttered to himself. He looked at the moderator position and saw an ID called "Eternal Nightfall", while the deputy moderator was called "Brahman".
"She really sees me as her new idol?" For a moment, Lou Cheng was a little proud and complacent. He swiped and clicked on the top post — "About Lou Cheng".
In the main post, "Eternal Nightfall" wrote:
"Lou Cheng is a student of Songcheng University and a member of the Martial Arts Club. He participated in the first Phoenix Cup Warrior Sage Candidate Challenge Tournament and got the eighth place as a fighter with no rank. He defeated two Mighty Ones of Professional Ninth Pin. Below are the videos, photos and links to related news."
"He is a boy who smiles foolishly. I feel that he should be a very warm person and definitely very considerate. But when he stands on the arena, he is filled with confidence. He is crazy and ferocious, extremely handsome."
"I am his second fan. I hope to record every detail of his growth."
The second post was a reply from "Brahman". "In my mind, Lou Cheng was a very mysterious master until I saw this video of him. But this doesn't stop me from liking him. Once a silly boy is in the arena, he can bloom with dazzling brilliance and defeat strong opponents. Isn't that more mysterious and charming?"
"I am his first fan. I hope to accompany him as he grows."
Lou Cheng's expression became softer and softer as he read, and his smile became more and more obvious. But he said, "This dark history spreads fast …"
After exiting the top post, he saw the videos, photos and related news of the Warrior Sage Candidate Challenge Tournament. They were classified and organized very clearly. They were more complete than his own.
In addition to these posts, there was also a return visit post from "Pig-Riding Knight" and a puzzled post from "Eternal Nightfall". She said that the number of visitors recorded in the backend had increased recently, but why were only the two of them still paying attention to them? "Brahman" guessed that it was the result of her advertising everywhere.
At the same time, "Eternal Nightfall" posted all over the place, saying that she would die if there was no new news from Lou Cheng.
At the end of the page, there were the posts of the two moderators fighting for the title of the first fan. Lou Cheng read them one by one. The more he read, the more obvious his smile became. Using the words of a novel to describe it, his heart was warm, full, and full.
He originally wanted to follow the post, but after thinking about it, he decided that it was better to just watch silently. He didn't want to disturb the two little guys talking to themselves. He just posted a post in the return visit post of "pig-riding knight".
He exited the forum and came to the group. He @'d "Brahman". "I've visited her. I feel that your moderator is very young. About the same age as you?"
"Brahman" used ten times the size of a smiley face and said, "Thank you, Little Tiger! Little Nightfall, I feel that she is younger than me. She should be a primary school student. I am her father! "
Primary school student … Lou Cheng's mouth twitched. Did he have the potential to attract lolis? One is the moderator, the other is the deputy moderator. Neither of them is 14 years old!
…
In the warm room, Yan Xiaoling was browsing the forum. Suddenly, she sneezed and said to herself,
"Who is talking about me?"
She quickly collected her thoughts and thought about a very important thing. Well, I've decided to enter the School of Arts of Songcheng University this year!
…
When it was almost time for dinner, Lou Cheng's uncle, Ma Guoqin, finally came back with his youngest son, Ma Jiale.
"Uncle, where have you been? You took so long? "Lou Cheng asked with a smile.
Ma Guoqin pretended to be angry and said, "This kid is too naughty. He bought a hand cannon and wanted to shoot it immediately. I had to accompany him."
He used to be a colleague of Lou Cheng's father, Lou Zhisheng, and worked as a driver in a truck team. After the company went bankrupt, he was bold enough to ask a few of his colleagues to help him with long-distance freight transportation. It was very tiring, but he also made some money. In recent years, after the rise of online car-hailing, he simply quit and bought a car with his savings. At the same time, he also worked part-time as a personal assistant.
Speaking of which, most of Lou Cheng's family came from that bankrupt company, which was also a characteristic of that era. Fortunately, when the company went bankrupt, Lou Cheng's grandfather and grandmother had already retired and transferred their pension to them, so they were not too affected. For a period of time, Lou Cheng's family was very poor. He went to his grandfather's house every two or three days to have a good meal. Second Uncle Lou Zhiqiang was not mean and treated him well.
At the dinner table, the family, who had gotten rid of their previous predicament, no longer looked worried. They talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was lively and warm. Even Lou Yuanwei, who had just closed the restaurant, felt relieved. After all, they didn't owe him money, did they? At least they had a job, right?
Seeing this scene, Lou Cheng's grandfather and grandmother rubbed their eyes, feeling very sentimental.
The old couple was also very interesting. When Lou Cheng was a child, he knew that his grandmother had a bad temper and his grandfather was in charge of everything at home. However, in recent years, his grandfather's temper had become more and more eccentric. His grandmother, on the other hand, was much kinder, but she was in charge of everything at home.
The family ate and chatted, and sat together to accompany the old people to watch the TV show. At ten o 'clock, Lou Cheng's family of three got up and left. They had planned to call a taxi, but Uncle Ma Guoqin gave them a ride, which saved them a lot of trouble.
Lou Cheng first sat on the sofa and continued to chat with his parents and watch TV. When he heard the sound of firecrackers around 11: 40, he got up and went to the balcony. He pulled out his phone's contact list and called Yan Zheke.
The reason why he called so early was to avoid any unexpected changes. What if Yan Zheke had other calls around midnight?
"Hello, Cheng?" Yan Zheke's familiar soft and clear voice came through.
Lou Cheng deliberately said excitedly, "I have something to tell you. I just called Coach Shi to wish him a happy new year. He proposed the actual combat training plan for next semester."
"Actual combat training?" Yan Zheke suddenly became excited.
Lou Cheng laughed and said, "He said that I've reached the level of a quasi-professional. With your cousin and your growth, we can form a team to participate in the preliminaries after the New Year!"
"Preliminaries!" Yan Zheke's voice slightly raised, revealing obvious excitement and excitement. "I can't believe we can participate in the preliminaries!"
"Yes, I was also like that. That was a surging emotion." Lou Cheng said from the heart.
At this time, Yan Zheke's voice suddenly lowered a bit. "I don't know if I have a chance to participate. I don't know if my current level is enough to be a substitute …"
"You've made some progress in meditation, and you have a good foundation. Plus your family's Kung Fu, I think it won't be a problem for you to reach the level of Amateur Third Pin after the New Year. You can be a substitute." Lou Cheng hurried to comfort her.
"Well, I have to work harder. I'll get up early on the first day of the New Year to train and make a good start!" Yan Zheke said with "hatred". Lou Cheng could almost imagine her clenched fist and pouting mouth. He couldn't help but smile.
"By the way, what's your cousin's level now?" He changed the topic in order to stall for time and wait for midnight.
As expected, Yan Zheke's attention was diverted. She pondered for a while and said, "He's training like crazy. Grandpa said his Qi and blood have reached the peak of this level. The next step is to converge his Qi and blood to become one. This process may take at least a few months, or at most three to five years."
She didn't mention the possibility of failure. She was very confident in Lin Que.
Lou Cheng followed along and started the conversation. Unknowingly, time flew by. Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers broke out around them. It was so loud that he couldn't hear anything else. The same sound came from the phone.
It was 12 o 'clock. New Year's Eve was over, and New Year's Day was coming!
After a few minutes, the sound of firecrackers weakened. Lou Cheng was happy that the call was not cut off. He heard the light breathing sound on the other side of the phone. He thought Yan Zheke could hear him too.
Hearing the sound of her breathing, he calmed down and felt peaceful and happy. Leaning against the wall, he pursed his lips and whispered with a smile,
"Happy New Year."
The other side of the phone replied with a smile and whispered back, "Happy New Year."
Warmth grew and joy echoed. Looking at the brilliant fireworks outside, Lou Cheng added in a low voice,
"Happy New Year."
Yan Zheke replied with a smile, "You should be happy too."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to scratch Lou Cheng's heart.
They didn't say anything unnecessary. They quietly listened to each other's breathing and the sound of firecrackers to get rid of the old and welcome the new.
It was the first year again!
After a while, Yan Zheke said, "Are you still going to practice tomorrow?"
"Of course. I won't get seriously ill. If there are no accidents, I have to persevere. The New Year needs a better start. Besides, you have to get up early to practice. You can't lose to your example." Lou Cheng replied with a smile.
Suddenly, Yan Zheke said "fiercely", "Then why don't you go to bed? You have to get up at 5: 30. Look at the time! "
Being scolded like this, Lou Cheng didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "I'm waiting to say Happy New Year to you."
"Well, I have to go to bed too. Wake up early, wake up early!" Yan Zheke murmured and raised her voice. "Cheng, goodnight ~"
"Coach Yan, goodnight too. Sweet dreams." Lou Cheng smiled and waited for Yan Zheke to hang up first.
Back in the living room, he was overjoyed. Seeing his parents, he blurted out,
"Dad, Mom, Happy New Year!"
I'm really happy!
