Chapter 1 Youthful ambitions do not express sorrow
The autumn tiger is majestic and still patrols the world. The sunshine at three o'clock in the afternoon is white and fierce, shining on the thick and dark appearance of the huge venue, covering it with a golden raincoat.
Above the main entrance of the venue are several large black and shiny characters, writing its own "name":
"Songcheng University Martial Arts Club!"
Looking at these words from a distance, looking at the young men and women flocking to the venue, Lou Cheng felt a surge of vitality, but he who was supposed to belong to this group swallowed his saliva with some fear, and seemed to be filled with anger.
There is something called "cowardice of being close to home". Of course, martial arts is not a hometown, and a community is not a home.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look at his roommate Cai Zongming next to him, as if seeking some kind of psychological comfort.
The two met when they first entered school, but they seemed to have the same affinity. After going through military training and course selection, etc., they soon became bad friends who were good at hurting each other.
Cai Zongming is half a head shorter than Lou Cheng, over 1.8 meters tall. Not only is he tall and tall, but his appearance also makes Lou Cheng have to admit that this guy is indeed handsome. He can almost be described as the "sword eyebrows and starry eyes" in the novel.
Moreover, his family background is quite good and he dresses very tastefully. The only problem is that he is too eloquent!
"Chengzi, why are you nervous?" Cai Zongming put his hands in the pockets of his beige casual pants and noticed Lou Cheng's abnormality, "Isn't it the martial arts club's welcome party? Many people didn't come. Look at Lao Qiu.
You signed up before us, didn’t you also go to study on your own? It’s not an exam, are you nervous?”
Lou Cheng thought about it and felt that he still needed some guidance, so he carefully considered his words and said: "Sage Qing, do you still remember the girl when we signed up?"
This guy claims to have dated many girlfriends. He is rich in experience and is very good at talking nonsense. He is unanimously called the "Sage of Love" by everyone in the dormitory. It would be right to turn to him for your problems in this regard...
"Remember! How could I not remember? It has been more than a month since I entered the school, and I have only met two or three girls of this caliber. If I hadn't already had true love, I would have gone up to chat with them all!" Cai Zongming glanced at
He glanced at Lou Cheng and said with a smile, "What? You're attracted to it? You want to pursue it? Unfortunately, at first glance, I thought you were a boring and honest guy. I didn't expect you to be such an orange!"
Lou Cheng quickly explained: "Actually, I have known her for a long time. She was in the class next to mine in high school. Every time the martial arts broadcasts were broadcast, we happened to be next to each other. She was in the rightmost row of their class, and I was in the last row of our class.
The column on the left, back and forth, um, you understand, right?"
"Understood! You know her, does she know you?" Cai Zongming said, holding back a smile.
The corner of Lou Cheng's mouth twitched and he looked at Cai Zongming angrily. After a long time, he said dullly: "I don't know..."
"I understand, who hasn't had a secret love?" Cai Zongming stopped laughing and said, "No wonder you dragged me to sign up for the martial arts club. I thought you saw through my disguise of hiding a master!"
"Bah, isn't he just a fifth-grade amateur? A hidden master of ghosts!" Lou Cheng couldn't help but retort.
In today's world, martial arts has a long history. It is neither a legend nor a mystery. It has existed since thousands of years ago and has continued into modern times. After decades of confrontation with technology, it has had to change old concepts and traditions and completely integrate into society.
In all aspects, the martial arts grades are also dyed with a modern color - a special warrior association holds a "qualification competition" to evaluate, with the first grade being the highest, the ninth grade being the entry level, and in addition to the entry level, there are amateurs, so
There are also levels of amateurs ranging from level 1 to level 9, but even if you don't call them "amateurs", they are more than enough to beat ordinary people.
Cai Zongming clicked his tongue and said: "Someone doesn't seem to be even a ninth-grade amateur. He is not a master. According to the theory of relativity, isn't it all relative? How about I give you one hand?"
"Get lost!" Lou Chengyan replied simply and concisely, then he took a breath and strolled forward, saying as he walked, "She was quite famous in high school, so I knew she loved martial arts, and what's more unexpected is that we both passed the exam.
Songda, at that time I just felt that this was fate, and I was excited but also nervous, so I dragged you to sign up, thinking that I would have the opportunity to get in touch."
"Yes, normal thinking." Cai Zongming walked a few steps and suddenly smiled, "Look, Chengzi, look, isn't that your goddess?"
Lou Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He followed Cai Zongming's line of sight and saw nine steps outside the main entrance of the martial arts club. Standing on the steps was a girl wearing red and white Hanfu. Her face was about the size of a palm and her facial features were exquisite.
, intuitively gives people the impression of "delicate and agile", very much like a girl from a Jiangnan water town, it is exactly the Yan Zheke that I have longed for.
Yes, her mother is from Jiangnan... Lou Cheng stared at it for a few times. This was the first time he saw Yan Zheke wearing Hanfu. She was quite stunning.
"Why did she serve as a welcome guest for the martial arts club?" Lou Cheng asked confused when he came back to his senses.
She is a new student like herself, and today is the orientation party!
Cai Zongming laughed and said: "This is not easy. If I were a senior fellow in the martial arts club and saw a junior sister of this caliber signing up, I would definitely contact him in advance and communicate a lot. Even if I couldn't pursue her as a girlfriend, I would still be able to become a member of the martial arts club.
The signboard is not bad! How can a rough guy like you be of any use?"
"That's not what you said..." Lou Cheng countered.
"Hey, it's really not the case. I am a master of the fifth-level amateur, the future pillar of the martial arts club..." At this point, Cai Zongming was stunned. "Normally, they should contact me in advance, the fifth-level amateur."
They are not a big deal in the Songda Martial Arts Club. Is it possible that the quality of our freshmen is so high? Apart from the legendary Lin Que, there are many amateurs of the third and fourth grades?"
While Lou Cheng listened to Cai Zongming's chatter, he looked at Yan Zheke quietly. She stood on the edge of the steps, attracting everyone's attention. She was like a star standing under the spotlight, so bright, outstanding and brilliant.
It's simply embarrassing.
"Forget it, let's get down to business, Cheng Zi, the opportunity has come!" Cai Zongming finished talking to himself.
Lou Cheng turned to look at him blankly: "What opportunity?"
"An opportunity to strike up a conversation! An opportunity to hook up!" Cai Zongming said like iron.
"Striking up a conversation?" Lou Cheng looked at Yan Zheke in the distance and stuttered, "Me?"
I have never done anything to strike up a conversation, so I feel a little flinched when I think about it, and is it useful to strike up a conversation?
Cai Zongming clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Although the success rate of striking up a conversation mainly depends on your appearance and eloquence, if you don't even dare to strike up a conversation, you will never have a chance, and most girls will look down on such a cowardly and timid man. What if you like him?
Not even having the courage to strike up a conversation counts as liking her? Besides, I’ve analyzed it and found that you have a great chance that she won’t even think you’re striking up a conversation.”
"Why?" Lou Cheng suddenly became interested.
"Are you crazy about having a crush? You are from the same hometown and classmates, what a great relationship! You are in a different place, far away from acquaintances, classmates from the same hometown are the best partners to get out of singles." Cai Zongming said eloquently, "What do you think?
Think about it, a girl who is far away from her hometown and goes to study thousands of miles away, surrounded by strangers, must be the most insecure in her heart. She will subconsciously get close to acquaintances she has had in the past. As the saying goes.
, fellow villagers burst into tears when they meet fellow villagers, and you were once in the same school and in the same grade, so there are so many topics to talk about, and the feeling of closeness is also different."
"If you pretend to have met and recognized each other by chance, 90% of the time you will be able to get a QQ number, mobile phone number, etc. Well, it is not suitable to go too deep the first time, as it will make the other party wary and uneasy. If you ask for a QQ number, just accept it.
Hands are the best.”
Lou Cheng listened carefully, his heart began to beat wildly, and he felt the urge to give it a try. What the Love Sage said made sense.
After thinking about it, he hesitated: "But, how can a person like me, who is of average height and average appearance, be worthy of her? I don't know if I can give her a life worthy of her in the future, or not...
"
This is what it means to feel ashamed of yourself.
Cai Zongming was stunned when he heard this. His mouth was half-open for a long time before he said:
"Chengzi, are you thinking too much? You haven't even met me yet, and you are thinking about your future married life? No one has this ability to associate..."
After speaking, before Lou Cheng could think too much, he continued: "Chengzi, if you say it nicely, it's called responsibility and self-awareness, but if it's not nice, it's called timidity, cowardice, and lack of self-confidence. We are only in our first year of school.
It is also the first in the country, and the major is not bad. I have studied hard and diligently for four years. After graduation, are you afraid that you can't find a good job? You don't even have this kind of confidence? Or do you think you have no confidence at all?
Don’t want to work hard? If you like her, just improve yourself for her, push yourself for her, and squeeze out your potential for her. This is called a sense of responsibility. Otherwise, you just like to touch your own feelings, and you are afraid of taking everything seriously!"
Lou Cheng looked at Cai Zongming in astonishment, never expecting that this guy could say such reasonable words.
Cai Zongming changed the topic, waved his fist and said: "And the horoscope has not been revealed yet. It's still hard to say whether you can catch up or not. I guess there's not much hope... Uh... Go quickly, Chengzi, don't stay."
No regrets, at least I have worked hard and tried, there is no failure in youth, and no worries about youthful ambitions!"
Being so excited by Cai Zongming, Lou Cheng was also young and energetic, and his blood boiled for a moment. He suppressed the hesitation and worries in his heart, nodded heavily and said:
"Let me try!"
"Well, youth does not fail!"
After saying that, he looked at Yan Zheke in the distance, at the beautiful red and white figure, and plucked up the courage to step over.
At this moment, Cai Zongming suddenly pulled him back.
"What's wrong?" Lou Cheng felt his blood rushing upwards at this moment.
Cai Zongming bared his teeth and said: "Chengzi, you are too angry. If you touch your face, it will be as red as a monkey's butt. The other person can tell at a glance that you have evil intentions. Hurry up and buy a bottle of ice."
Apply water to your face."
"I'll wipe it, Qingsheng, you are really experienced." Lou Cheng touched his face, it was really hot, and he almost stuttered when he spoke.
This kind of thing is so exciting!
Thinking of this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and ran away, not towards the grand venue of the martial arts club, but in the opposite direction, which was only a hundred meters away. Then he turned around and came back. When he passed Cai Zongming, he was already out of breath.
"This..." Cai Zongming had been watching blankly, and then he realized it and gave a thumbs up, "Sure!"
Isn’t it possible to cover up the original blush with the blush after running?
Lou Cheng's heart beat faster due to exercise, but his feet were a little sluggish, and he was still a little timid, but he quickly restrained himself, passed Cai Zongming, secretly clenched his fists and said:
"Well, at least I tried hard!"
While encouraging himself, he took steps towards the venue and towards the red and white silhouette.
Looking at his back, Cai Zongming said hurriedly: "Don't talk too much. You are not familiar with each other yet. If you talk too much, it will be embarrassing. Leave a good impression first and lay the foundation for the future."
Lou Cheng waved his hand to indicate that he had heard it, and he kept pace and kept going.
"This is youth..." Under the street tree next to him, an old man with all white hair, who seemed to be in his seventies or eighties, looked at Lou Cheng's figure and sighed for a moment, "I think I was so young back then...
