Wei Ran and Xun Lang walked all the way to the locker room. "Newcomers were pouring in one after another. It made me jump with fear. This year, old man Lei bought a hot chick from nowhere. His breaststroke team record is an Asian record."
, you say it’s scary or not, Liu Changhyuk was depressed for several days, and he probably had a premonition that he would be in danger of joining the national team.”
"And Cheng Zhun, that grandson, he swam ahead of me in the recent team assessment. Fortunately, I switched to medley, otherwise my status as the number one brother in the team would have been lost."
Wei Ran started chatting and talked about things in the team. Xun Lang raised his lips and walked into the bathroom. The half-warm water poured over his head. He felt as if his time in the army had returned.
It would be a lie to say that I don’t miss you.
That was his dream, his youth, the life he had been familiar with since he was five years old, is now gone forever.
After rinsing, Xun Lang put on a dark brown sweatshirt and black casual pants instead of the suit he had worn when he came in. He lost the temperament of a social elite and returned to being a college student.
The two of them walked out of the swimming pool side by side. It was already dark and there was no one on the road.
Wei Ran forced Xun Lang to go to Yemei for a drink, but Xun Lang couldn't resist and sat there for a while while the driver waited on the roadside.
Cheng Zhun, Liu Changhe and others came over after hearing the news, and they just had to shake hands with the idol.
Everyone still remembers the last time they had a drink, when Tang Yili took him back with a dark face, and they are all asking what happened next.
"Elder brother, your overbearing CEO's little wife didn't tear you into pieces in the end, but she still lets you hang out today?"
The brothers in the team all knew that Xun Lang doted on Tang Yili to the point where both humans and gods were outraged.
He retired for her without a single complaint, while Tang Yili looked like he was going to kill someone if he was caught fooling around. This group of men all had lingering fears.
Afterwards, they collectively said, "I don't want this kind of woman for free."
Later, after a glass of wine, Liu Changhe said without ambition: "If someone is as beautiful as Tang Yili, it's not impossible to give her away for free."
That night's drinking party ended with laughter and curses.
Xun Lang never answered his brothers' curiosity.
On the night of his retirement, Tang Yili cried so hard that he was even sadder than him. Of course Xun Lang would not say this in front of others, but every time he thought about it, he would still clench in distress.
It seems that the regret of retirement has been covered up.
So, after sitting for a while, Xun Lang suddenly wanted to go home.
He didn't want Tang Yili to be alone when he was in a bad mood.
The brothers booed, "I'm going to leave as soon as I mention my wife. Senior brother, you've let us down so much!"
Xun Lang patted the children's heads. The wedding ring on the married man's hand flashed with metallic luster, revealing another identity.
Xun Lang got up and went to the bar, ordered some drinks and snacks for them, and then settled the bill.
Shen Lang handed over a stack of documents: "This is the ledger of the bar this year. Please help me give Tang Yili a gift. I want to get the dividends early, send some money to my family before the Spring Festival, and then buy myself a car."
Xun Lang took it and asked him why he thought of buying a car.
"I've been driving the car that Tang Yili bought for you for a year, and it's really not suitable. Although I know your identity and know that you don't need this car, I still have to give it back to you."
"You and Tang Yili discuss what you are going to do with that BMW. If you want to keep it as a souvenir, I will park it downstairs at your house. If you don't want it anymore, I will sell it directly for you."
A second-hand car is indeed not worth much, and it is not worthy even for Xun Lang to think about it. However, it was a gift from Tang Yi. At that time, their relationship had reached a dead end. It was an unpleasant experience to mention this.
Xun Lang couldn't decide for a moment, so he said he would go back and ask Tang Yili.
Shen Lang: "Okay, you tell me when the time comes."
Xun Lang walked out, and Wei Ran reluctantly sent him out, looking angrily, thinking that he had probably ruined Tang Yi's ceremony for another three hundred and sixty rounds.
The driver opened the door for Xun Lang, once again attracting the attention of passers-by.
Xun Lang said, go back.
Wei Ran pressed the car door, "I was embarrassed to say it in front of so many people just now. The General Administration asked me to represent the swimming team at an Asian elite forum. I see you are on the invitation list. Will you go?"
The face that had been cursing just now suddenly became frightened. Xun Lang smiled, knowing that Wei Ran was nervous.
He has never been so nervous about participating in the Olympics. Attending a cocktail party would scare him as much as a Yakuza.
"I will go," Xun Lang paused, "to help you be brave."
…
When Xun Lang returned to Rongjing Mansion, Tang Yili had finished washing her clothes and was sitting in front of the dressing mirror applying body lotion. The room was filled with the aroma of orange blossoms, which tasted warm and sweet.
Tang Yili glanced at the tall man with no expression. He lowered his head and warmed his palms, slowly going up from his ankles. His fair thighs were extremely dazzling under the pale light.
Xun Lang tried his best not to look at it. He put the documents Shen Lang gave him on the dressing table and said, "Shen Lang asked me to give you the bar's ledger for this year."
I got up early and went out in a suit. When I came back in the evening, I changed into casual clothes. Moreover, I came back from a bar. I had a post-shower aroma. I don’t know what kind of cheap shampoo I used. It smelled terrible!
Tang Yili hummed, without even looking at him, and said, Got it.
She closed the bottle cap of the body lotion with a snap, stood up and walked to the bed, "If it's okay, I'll go to bed first."
Xun Lang walked in the other direction. Before entering the cloakroom, he stopped and said to the slender silhouette beside the bed.
"Shen Lang wants to buy a car, so the one he is driving now..."
Tang Yili stopped turning off the lights.
Soon, she also thought of the BMW car, which she bought with her competition bonus and gave it to Xun Lang. She wanted to please him, but Xun Lang had almost never driven it.
Now that I think about it, it's a bit ridiculous that she, a woman who sold herself into marriage, actually overestimated her ability and dared to use money to hit the prince of the Ji family.
At that time, Xun Lang must have had a lot of disdain in his heart.
Tang Yili looked at Xun Lang, holding back the complicated feeling of grievance in his heart, and said.
"Why bother asking me? I gave it to you. It's yours and you can do with it as you wish."
The wariness in Xu Shitang Yili's eyes was so obvious that Xun Lang suddenly felt a stab in his heart.
Tang Yili showed no emotion towards the gifts she gave him, and her unwillingness to talk about it was enough to show that the ending of that relationship was not a good one for both of them.
Xun Lang did not comment on Tang Yili's suggestion and turned around and entered the cloakroom.
Opening the brown glass door where the home clothes were hung, Xun Lang grabbed a swing with his hands and lifted it up. His back muscles rippled and he took off the sweatshirt from his head.
Suddenly, a word came from the bedroom, without the barrier of the door, like a cold sword stabbing into my back.
"However, I still recommend selling the car... to save you and me... from looking at it as an eyesore."
