In the well-decorated private room of the skewers shop, Lou Cheng and others raised glasses and once again celebrated their hard-earned national championship.
After the award ceremony, they first accepted interviews and took photos, then each carried the trophy for a certain distance around the field to pay tribute, and returned to the locker room amidst the enthusiastic calls of the audience.
After taking a shower, getting on the bus, and returning to the hotel to put away their belongings, they gathered again, gathered together again, and came here to celebrate within the team, except of course Lin Que, who was seriously injured.
Old Man Shi was very happy to see everyone, and relaxed the restrictions, allowing drinking to add to the fun. Those who are willing to drink can drink, and those who are unwilling to drink are not forced. The only requirement is that they cannot get drunk!
Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke had their own principles and did not make any exceptions for this. They held soda water and sour plum soup respectively to respect their senior brothers and sisters.
After another round of toasts, Sun Jian, who drank until the alcohol was on his face, picked up the beer bottle, poured a full glass, then pulled Lin Hua to stand up, looked at everyone, and said humorously:
"I, a salty fish who can only call 666, will give you a toast."
Lou Cheng, Cai Zongming and others burst into laughter and said one after another: "You can just toast, why do you want Senior Sister Lin to accompany you?"
Sun Jian smiled, sighed and said:
"When we return to Songcheng this time, Hua Hua and I will probably not come to the martial arts club. We will take this opportunity to bid farewell to everyone."
He and Lin Hua were going to work in Huahai. Some things had to be finalized in advance, and the thesis defense had to be put on the schedule. There were too many things to do next.
This was something that Lou Cheng and the others had known about for a long time, foreseen, and were mentally prepared for. However, hearing Sun Jian say it made them feel sad. We had been together for almost two years, and we sweated and endured hardships together in special training every day. How could we not
There is some friendship.
However, there is no banquet in the world that never comes to an end.
Before Cai Zongming and others could speak, Sun Jian said with great feeling:
"Although in this national competition, unlike Hua Hua, I didn't get a chance to play, I still left a deep impression. I don't feel like I'm not a member of this team."
Having said this, he laughed: "When I first joined the martial arts club, I just wanted to practice martial arts and compete in competitions to vent my pent-up emotions. I didn't even think about the regional competition and the national competition. When I met Senior Brother Chen and the others
, they, huh, forget it, let’s not say bad things about them. In short, in those two years, I didn’t feel that I was a member of the martial arts club. I used the venue and the weight room when I had time, and no one paid attention to me when I didn’t have time.”
"In the past two years, I have been training, exercising, and fighting for the national competition with everyone, and I truly feel that I am a member of the martial arts club. I feel sad when I lose, and I am happy when I win. To use my dad's words,
I have a sense of collective honor..."
As he rambled on, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke listened quietly. At the end, Sun Jiangulu drank the beer in his glass and said excitedly:
"This cup is for Wannian Substitute Sun Jianjing for everyone!"
Lou Cheng and others picked up their respective cups, drank the contents in one gulp, and answered in unison:
"We respect Senior Brother Sun!"
Sun Jian filled himself another small glass of white wine, took Lin Hua's hand and said:
"I once read a book, which said that most of a person's life is unremarkable, lackluster, and cyclical day after day. Only occasionally can one jump out, find light, and leave a trace of light in one's own life.
A different color."
"My future life may be so ordinary, but I can proudly say that during the most prosperous period of my life, Hua Hua and I, together with you, fought hard for our dreams and tasted the pain and suffering of failure together.
The joy of success creates a miracle together!"
"You have burned your youth and left traces. It's so good, so good!"
He and Lin Hua raised their glasses together and said in a voice that was both joyful and sad:
"Whoever comes to Huahai in the future, please remember to contact us."
"goodbye!"
"I really want to see you again!"
As he spoke, he burst into tears and drank all the liquid in the glass in one gulp. Lin Hua held back the tears, raised his head, and drank his own glass.
Li Xiaowen and the others burst into tears and raised their glasses one after another, saying that they would see each other again.
Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke also had hot eyes and complicated emotions. They clinked their glasses and drank the whole drink.
Laughing and crying, happy and sad, excited and dejected, the celebration within the Songda Martial Arts Club came to an end. Sun Jian violated Old Man Shi's prohibition, got drunk, and kept repeating "Goodbye"
"I want to see you again", but no one blamed him or scolded him.
Standing outside the store, the night wind blew by, everyone felt cool and their heads cleared.
"Hiccup, I won't go back to the hotel with you. I have to walk on the street with my Fangyuan family." Cai Zongming, who has always been drinking well, pointed to the girl riding a bicycle on the other side of the road.
"Go ahead and let's see how you behave after these two days!" Lou Cheng joked.
Then it will be a foreign dog again!
After watching Xiao Ming's back cross the crosswalk safely, Old Man Shi coughed: "I have been busy with the national competition during this period, and I didn't see many old friends in the imperial capital. You can go back alone, old man, I have something else to do."
"Yes, Master (Coach Shi)!" Lou Cheng, Yan Zheke and others waved.
When Comrade Shi Jianguo left, Li Xiaowen, He Zi and the others became more active. They smiled at the two lovers Lou Cheng, Yan Zheke, Sun Jian and Linhua: "We plan to go shopping and have some drinks, so we won't disturb your love."
"Pay attention to safety." Lou Cheng warned.
"Don't worry, we have bodyguards!" Li Xiaowen pointed at Li Mao with a smile.
While laughing and joking, they crossed the street and walked away.
At this time, Lin Hua flagged down a taxi, pointed at Sun Jian, and said to Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke: "He is so drunk that I can only send him back first. Do you want to come with him?"
"The hotel is not far away, we plan to take a walk back." Lou Cheng said with a smile, and helped Lin Hua put Sun Jian into the car.
"Bye!" Lin Hua sat on the car and waved to the two of them through the car window.
"Bye!" Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke responded with smiles.
The vehicle started to drive away from this place, and the two suddenly found that only each other was left in the cool night wind. The previous excitement and noise had returned to tranquility.
After a short period of adaptation, Lou Cheng smiled, put his left hand on his chest, bent down and saluted like a gentleman:
"Beautiful lady, no, beautiful fairy, may I invite you to take a walk with me?"
His right arm was tied with layers of bandages, splinted, and fixed, and he could only swing forward awkwardly.
According to the doctor, with his body's recovery ability, he won't have to worry so much in a few days. He will definitely be in good condition in about three weeks. Of course, the premise is that he won't be injured again.
Yan Zheke chuckled and said:
"You disabled person, stop acting so much!"
Having said that, she still handed over her right hand and let Lou Cheng hold it.
Blowing in the wind and bathed in neon lights, the two strolled leisurely on the streets, enjoying the faint aftertaste of joy.
"Hey, when Senior Brother Sun Jian and Senior Sister Lin Hua just said goodbye, I was really a little sad..." During the chat, Yan Zheke suddenly sighed.
Lou Cheng also felt the same, nodded, and then joked: "Coach Yan, I remember you taught me that there are two types of friends. One is those who meet briefly and will drift away. There is no need to get hurt over this.
sad."
Yan Zheke put on a "vicious" smile and gave him a "gnashing teeth" look:
"I understand everything!"
But there is no such thing as emotion.
Lou Cheng was swept away by her eyes so energetically, and his heart suddenly felt a little stirred. After looking around from the corner of his eye, he pointed to a quiet alley with his chin and said, "Let's go that way."
"Ah?" Yan Zheke blinked, looking confused.
"You can take a shortcut there." Lou Cheng replied without changing his expression, pulling the girl and walking over.
Yan Zheke's face was full of confusion. Seeing her boyfriend's persistence, she no longer had any doubts. Her steps became brisk again, and she had to step on the floor tiles every time, swaying, and her skirt danced lightly.
.
Lou Cheng watched longingly, and when he walked a few steps into the alley, he suddenly used force on his hand and pulled the girl into his arms.
"..." Yan Zheke raised his head in confusion and was about to speak, but Lou Cheng blocked his mouth with his mouth, his movements passionate and enthusiastic.
After saying "Uh-huh" twice, her body softened, she grabbed Lou Cheng's clothes with both hands, took the initiative to stick out her tongue, and let her boyfriend suck the sweetness.
Lou Cheng kissed and held her tighter, breathing in the girl's warm breath and feeling the beauty of her delicate body.
After a while, they finally separated and breathed lightly.
Yan Zheke glared at Lou Cheng with bright and wet eyes, and said angrily and funny: "You, why are you so excited? You will go back to the hotel right away!"
Lou Cheng chuckled and said: "I have thought about it. Your parents will definitely come to talk to you tonight. We will have to be separated temporarily when we return to the hotel, so let's kiss first!"
"Oh, you've learned how to answer quickly~!" Yan Zheke turned his eyes and thought, this is the truth.
"Coach Yan taught me well." Lou Cheng lowered his head, pressed his forehead against the little fairy's forehead, and murmured his inner feelings that he had not had time to express before, "It's great... we are the champions."
...I won the championship with you..."
Such a gesture and such words made Yan Zheke's heart soften. She raised her head, slightly opened her pink lips, and looked at her boyfriend with flickering eyes, as if she was waiting for a kiss.
Lou Cheng naturally did as she wished.
The two lingered, lingering, and walked for half an hour for more than ten minutes. When they finally saw the hotel door and the figures of Ji Mingyu and Yan Kai, a car parked next to them.
The car door opened and he put on a T-shirt and casual pants. Lin Que, dressed in fresh clothes, got out with some difficulty and stood in front of the two of them.
"Brother." Yan Zheke subconsciously shouted.
Lin Que nodded slightly, glanced at them, and said in a low voice:
"I might not go back to Songda."
Ah... Lou Cheng was stunned for a moment, while Yan Zheke seemed to have expected it.
Lou Cheng knew that Lin Que came to Songda to study for the national championship to make up for his father's regret. Unlike Peng Leyun, who really loved learning, and unlike Ren Li, who simply didn't want to be "illiterate", the usual courses and the final degree
, to him, it has almost no meaning. Once the wish is fulfilled, there will naturally be no more fetters.
However, Lou Cheng never thought that Lin Que's farewell would come so quickly and so unprepared.
Lin Que still looked cool and cold, but he was a little more talkative than before. He said calmly:
"I heard a song before and remembered the lyrics, which is called 'The good days of being young and frivolous will end as soon as you become sensible'."
After a pause, he showed a faint smile again, and said in the same indifferent tone as usual but slightly different:
"I've been frivolous for a long time, and it's time to be sensible."
After saying that, he turned around, opened the car door, and sat in again, leaving only Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke with their lonely backs.
As the vehicle drove by, Lin Que didn't turn his head, he just raised his hand and waved it casually.
The car and him gradually drifted away and disappeared.
The prosperity has gone, and the place is deserted.
Lou Cheng closed his eyes, as if Lin Que's previous words were still echoing in his ears:
"I've been frivolous for a long time, and it's time to be sensible."
