Chapter 295: Li Hao's Midwinter Night's Dream (2/2)
Although the weather was sunny, it was winter after all, and it was still relatively cold in Jinling at this time. In front of Shiyizhong, the reporter lady was obviously more calm than him.
She is wearing a white short down jacket, which is fresh and bright. The waist design makes her look slimmer and proportional to her figure. She pairs it with woolen straight pants and white snow boots, which is warm and cute.
Zhao Xiaoan had a smile on her face. When she saw Li Hao rubbing his head and looking at the Qinhuai River, she said to the side: "I just came from the street of Gongyuan on the north bank, crossed the stone bridge, and looked this way from a distance.
When I look at it, I feel that it looks a lot like you. When I get closer, I realize that it is indeed you."
"At our TV station, except for those who stay behind to work on programs, most of them have also returned to their hometowns during the New Year. My home is right here, and it's not too far from here. I came here today to relax and unwind."
"Well, that's quite a coincidence."
"Brother Hao, what are you doing here?"
"I saw that you were enchanted while looking at the Qinhuai River. You didn't respond to my calls several times. Are you worried about the injury on your hand?" Li Hao smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking, Miqin, you are still so curious.
He turned his head and saw the girl next to him with a smile in her bright eyes. The breeze blew by, and a few strands of black hair stirred her fair face.
Compared with the last time he did not apply makeup during the interview, Li Hao noticed that reporter Xiao An seemed to be wearing light makeup this time, which made her already in her prime look even more beautiful.
"The injury on my hand has improved, and I'm not anxious about it."
"It's just that there was a painting boat passing by on the river just now, and I followed it with my eyes. I was wondering if the people on the boat would be very cold. After all, there is still wind now, and if the water vapor blows on me, it shouldn't be that cold.
Comfortable." Zhao Xiaoan shook his head.
"This is the wrong time. They should choose it at night. If they don't see the most beautiful scenery because of the river breeze, that would be the worst thing." She clasped her slender fingers and said, "I saw that when I came here just now.
The display board next to it said, "The river water like old wine reflects the mist and rain of the Six Dynasties, the music and songs are interrupted and continued, the lights and the moon are shining brightly. This can only be seen at night."
"Now besides the cold river breeze, there is not even a warm lamp." Li Hao nodded, Miqin's words made sense.
However, in this winter, Li Hao still wants to stay at home a little bit.
"The last interview I did with you received a very enthusiastic response from our e-sports column."
"I don't usually get so many replies, but that was the most." Zhao Xiao'an recalled: "The leaders in the station also said that you are a phenomenon in this field."
"That's ridiculous."
"The main reason is that everyone promoted it well, I just did my job well." Li Hao originally wanted to end the topic, but he felt that it was inappropriate to continue the conversation, especially since the occasion was not right.
If the blind date sees it, others will inevitably misunderstand it, and it is just downstairs at the appointed place. He is not afraid of anything, but mainly because he is not respectful.
The other party's parents have also met each other themselves. If they talk about it later, they will feel sorry for themselves. However, reporter Xiaoan seems to be unaware of all this.
"Many of the comments below our column are fans who care about you."
"Many people have sent private messages, wanting to get the latest information on your injuries from us. They want to know when you will recover."
"I don't know the specifics." Li Hao responded briefly: "After the annual leave, you will always need the doctor's nod before going to the hospital for review."
"Well, actually you're pretty good as a commentator."
"Did you watch the live broadcast?"
"No." The young lady shook her head: "In the beginning, lpl only promoted the mysterious guest, and they didn't disclose the details. Later I found out it was you."
"I watched the replay and the explanation was very good."
"It's mainly my first time explaining, and it's not unfamiliar at all. The whole process gave me the feeling that I was familiar with the road, which is amazing."
"When I first started working as a reporter, I made a lot of mistakes." After she finished speaking, she noticed that Li Hao's body was shaking. She looked back from time to time, and occasionally picked up her phone to check the time. She immediately understood what he was thinking.
Looking at Shi Yizhong's anxious and unwilling look, Zhao Xiaoan was secretly amused. Thinking not to make him anxious, he said directly: "Brother Hao, you have been looking at the time. Is there something urgent?"
"Yeah." Li Hao responded: "It's indeed a bit of a personal matter."
"oh oh."
"It's a blind date, right? I've heard others say it before." Li Hao was stunned for a moment. What's the situation? Is my blind date already known to everyone?
He really wanted to ask about this
Who was the "other person"? But after thinking about it, he let it go. He hummed, and found that reporter Xiao An had no reaction, and said with a smile: "Brother Hao, go ahead, I won't delay you." Seeing Xiao An, There was no change in the sister's mood. For some reason, Li Hao's heart fluctuated slightly.
Then, he laughed to himself. He said goodbye, turned around and walked towards the restaurant behind. But... Li Hao soon showed a suspicious look.
He noticed that there was a small tail following behind him, and there was the sound of shoes tapping on the floor. When he got to the second floor, Li Hao glanced at the cubicle by the window, but there was no one in it.
Then he turned around and asked: "Reporter Xiaoan, did you hide the camera?"
"We're here to dig up some tidbits today, right..." Zhao Xiao'an shook his head innocently,
"No."
"Then what are you doing following me?"
"Because I have an appointment with someone else at this place."
"What a coincidence?"
"Yeah." Li Hao saw that she didn't look like she was lying, so he believed her for the time being. But... what happened next was completely beyond Li Hao's expectations.
When he was about to enter the compartment on the second floor, he heard the sound of footsteps again behind him. A small white shadow hurried past him and walked straight to the seat inside.
For a moment, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind. When he closed the door, Li Hao didn't know what he was feeling now.
It can only be said that this is the first time in two lives. He sat on the opposite seat, took out his mobile phone, and once again took out the two photos his mother gave him.
The girl who was so generous and chatty just now is obviously a little shy now.
"Reporter Xiaoan..."
"Um."
"You also went out on a blind date today?"
"Uh-huh."
"with who?"
"It's with this person..." Zhao Xiao'an first took out a photo from his bag. Li Hao glanced at it and saw that it was just the one he sent to Hao's mother.
Then, she took out another cropped poster, with wavy shapes carefully cut out around it. The content on the poster was the scene of Li Hao winning the FVP trophy again in 2017.
The terrible thing is... Li Hao also saw his signature on the poster. In an instant, he felt like he was seeing the sun from the clouds and that he was off the mark.
"Is this you?" Li Hao put his phone in front of Zhao Xiao'an and pointed to the photo above.
"This is a photo of me in high school. I was very thin at that time and a little shorter than I am now."
"This is a photo of me when I was about to graduate from college." After hearing what she said, Li Hao said,
"No wonder I always feel a little familiar."
"Why don't you just take a selfie?"
"Then you recognize it?" Zhao Xiao'an said a little embarrassedly: "If you recognized it in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to accept your interview job. That would be embarrassing." Li Hao couldn't help but nodded.
"Indeed, maybe I will feel embarrassed too."
"But why didn't you just say it when you came here? You still had time to tease me, but I was worried about being seen by people from the second floor, which would lead to a big misunderstanding."
"Sorry, sorry." Zhao Xiaoan smiled sweetly,
"I just suddenly felt that you were a little cute there, and I couldn't help it."
"This is the first time someone has used cute to describe me."
"Well, let's put it another way. I think your painting style there is very tough, which adds a toughness to the mist of the Six Dynasties on the Qinhuai River. Brother Hao, do you think this is okay? I write your e-sports columns
, it’s all written like this.”
"Okay." Li Hao smiled and shook his head. With the reputation of Shi No. 1 Middle School, there was no need to worry about these details with a little girl.
This blind date was a little more surprising than Li Hao imagined, but it wasn't that embarrassing. At least they had a lot of common topics, so they didn't have to talk awkwardly.
"Actually, I didn't want to go on a blind date at all in the beginning. My mother pushed me hard."
"She said you were very good, but I didn't believe it until she sent you a photo, and then I felt you looked familiar."
"Because I was also paying attention to the 2016 S-Games at the time, and it was easy to find you on Snake's list." Zhao Xiaoan recalled with a face, that was already a year ago.
Looking back now, it's very interesting. Li Hao also told his own story: "My family's situation is similar. Not only is my mother urging me, my father also always talks about various reasons."
"Until one day, my mother lied to me and said she was going to buy vegetables, and then she went to Jinjiang Seafood Market."
"I should have met your parents at that time."
"My aunt also gave me some sea cucumbers, but I actually didn't eat them because I returned to the club the next day."
"But after they did this, I couldn't refuse." Zhao Xiao'an laughed: "My dad has been managing the seafood market over there for a long time. Brother Hao, whatever seafood you want to eat, Jinling City has it, and he can basically do it.
Get it, I'll ask him to get it for you. Our family used to have a boat, which was quite big, and I even caught fish on it, but that was all a long time ago." Li Hao nodded slightly.
Mikoto is a capable person.
"Are you hungry?"
"I'm a little hungry. I only ate a little in the morning." Hearing this, Li Hao flipped through the menu, but he was very confused.
Zhao Xiaoan smiled and said: "You can choose whatever you want, I basically won't pick."
"But don't want too much, it will be a waste." Li Hao responded and ordered three Jinling specialties, duck, chicken and fish, plus a vegetable soup.
"Actually, in this winter, we should go to the grilled fish restaurant on the other side of the river. Although it's a little noisy, we can have a warm meal."
"However, it is inevitable that you will smell of hot pot on your body."
"Actually, I want to go too."
"Why don't you wait until night? You can make your own reservation at the restaurant." Li Hao couldn't help but nodded without thinking of refusing.
At around 12 o'clock at noon, they were chatting while eating. When two people have common interests, there are far more topics to talk about than expected.
What surprised Li Hao was that the young lady knew a lot about games, and she knew as much as he did.
I don’t know what other people’s blind dates are like. After lunch, we walked together to Wuyi Lane, where there was a small jade carving shop.
Zhao Xiaoan picked a piece of jade, spent 20 yuan, and asked the shop owner to carve a jade stone on the bottom.
The word "安".
"Brother Hao, this is for you."
"It means peace and health, and I wish you a speedy recovery." Li Hao took the smooth little stone and gently rubbed it with his fingers. The bottom surface had been printed in red by the shop owner, and the handwriting was very clear.
"Wait a minute, I'll give you one too."
"Farewell, this one is enough." She pulled his sleeve. Li Hao was not too stupid and knew that this was a pull.
He also carved one
The word "安", except
It means "peace", and he also took the nickname of the young lady. Seeing that she was smiling happily, Li Hao knew that his consciousness was not too bad.
Li Hao didn't know how he spent this afternoon. He walked around and sat in a milk tea shop for a while, and the whole afternoon was gone.
In the winter, Li Hao really had no intention of taking a boat ride on the Qinhuai River. But after eating at the grilled fish restaurant in the evening, the lights outside were dim, the river was full of smoke, and silk and bamboo silk from the south of the Yangtze River were coming.
As for what kind of mood he had when boarding the ship, Li Hao no longer wanted to think about it. At the stern of the ship.
"Brother Hao, come and take a photo."
"I'll send it to my roommate later."
"Um?"
"Your roommate?"
"That's what I told you before. I didn't lie to you. My roommate is really a fan of yours."
"Take a quick photo, she will be jealous to death." Friendships are not created out of nothing... When it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Hao sent Zhao Xiao'an home.
By the time he got home, it was almost eleven o'clock. Just when he opened the door, he found that his parents were both asleep.
Hao's mother looked surprised: "Why did you come back now?" Li Hao looked tired: "Isn't this arranged by you?"
"This is much more tiring than when I play a game."
"We were eating and playing, and we walked for most of the day without stopping. I'm so tired that I don't want to go on a blind date anymore." Hao's mother asked again: "What's the result?"
"What's the result?" Li Hao groaned and said calmly: "I can't tell, I left my contact information, let's check everything first." Watching Li Hao return to the room, Hao's mother was a little confused.
The pig butcher on the side shook his head.
"He has a lot of twists and turns now. I read the comments on the Internet and they all said that he is an old fox."
"Don't believe this attitude."
"How can you come back from a blind date at this point and then look unhappy? If you weren't happy, wouldn't you have come back a long time ago?"
"This is a contradiction." Hao Ma smiled:
"Okay, let's leave this matter alone."... On the other end, at Zhao Xiao'an's house, a similar situation almost happened.
We promised to come back in the afternoon, but it was delayed until ten o'clock in the evening.
"Xiao An, how do you feel? Are you satisfied?"
"I can't tell, I still need to know more about it, let's chat for now."
"..."
"Old Zhao, what do you think?" Zhao's father sighed and said calmly: "What else do you think? I was in love at the time and I didn't want my parents to interfere."
"As long as she is happy."... At around 12 o'clock in the evening, Li Hao felt a little strange. Because at this point before, except for occasionally training with teammates in the club, he would not chat with other people at all.
However, now he can chat with others and say good night. It's quite strange... On February 15th, after celebrating the New Year in Jinling, Li Hao had already set his sights back on the snake club.
He didn't even visit his relatives, and returned to Shanghai on February 19th. Soon, his teammates gathered before February 21st.
Before the start of the second half of the competition between different teams, Zuo Wu and Li Hao went to the hospital for review again. But the Snake Club was disappointed.
According to the hospital, Li Hao is still unable to participate in the game. In order to spread his light and heat, Li Hao is also studying the version and discussing tactics with everyone in the usual training games.
Everyone at Snake worked very hard. However, this round of confrontation between the East and the West was really cruel.
