The place where the dinner was scheduled was in a courtyard without any signboard. When Lou Cheng walked to the door, Yan Zheke, wearing a white knee-length dress, was already waiting outside. Her long black hair was blown gently by the wind passing through the alley.
The dance is as beautiful as a picture scroll.
When she saw her boyfriend, her eyes lit up, she took two steps forward, stretched out her hand to help her boyfriend straighten the collar and folds of his shirt, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, just eat and talk normally."
"I wasn't nervous at first, but when you said that, I suddenly became a little nervous." Lou Cheng deliberately made a joke.
Yan Zheke's beautiful eyes were longing, she glanced at him sideways, took his uninjured hand, and turned towards the yard:
"Let's go!"
Passing through the gate with mottled marks, passing through the flower stand with climbing vines, passing through the small pond with clear water, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke entered the row of houses on the east side surrounded by the faint fragrance of flowers, and entered the quiet
The secret thermal pavilion.
A simple square table is placed near the window. Outside, there are flowers blooming, leaves growing lush, and waves swaying gently.
Lou Cheng ignored the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall and the objects on the Duobao Pavilion. He cast his eyes on the square table and on the father-in-law and mother-in-law he recognized:
"Hello, uncle and aunt."
"Sit down." Ji Mingyu smiled and pointed to the seat opposite Yan Kai.
"Okay." Lou Cheng walked half a step behind and sat down with Yan Zheke.
Just when he felt that the awkward and subtle atmosphere was brewing little by little, Ji Mingyu said with a smile: "In terms of local cuisine in the imperial capital, this restaurant ranks in the top five in my mind, and the environment is more suitable. Haha, my taste is more biased now.
Xiushan, you should be able to get used to it."
"Actually, I'm not a picky eater. The ingredients are not weird and the taste is okay. I'm fine with that." Lou Cheng responded with a smile.
Ji Mingyu nodded: "Using the best ingredients to make delicious things is no big deal. Being able to use ordinary ingredients to make ordinary dishes that people are full of praise for is your real skill. Combining the two is the best
With the best ingredients and real skills, the result is delicious food.”
"For example, this one?" Yan Zheke asked deliberately to liven up the atmosphere.
With the powerful Queen Mother taking the initiative to guide the conversation, the awkward atmosphere faded away, and Lou Cheng felt much more at ease, answering questions and answering questions in a satisfactory manner.
Yan Kai didn't talk to him much, but would echo Ji Mingyu from time to time, or glance at Yan Zheke's behavior of constantly picking up food for her "semi-disabled" boyfriend, feeling sad for her daughter's attentiveness and consideration.
Ke Ke has really grown up...
The dishes were put on the cloth and removed, and Lou Cheng, whose appetite was already inhuman, was too embarrassed to show his true colors. He mainly chatted and ate as a supplement.
Well, the food is indeed good, but the portion is not enough... Fortunately, the Queen Mother ordered more than ten servings... As expected of a martial arts family, these details have been noticed... He thought silently.
At the end, Yan Kai glanced at him, took a sip of tea, and took the initiative to ask for the first time:
"Xiaolou, what are your plans for the future?"
Arrangement? Lou Cheng was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to organize his words, Yan Kai added: "Your master has a close relationship with the military, and there will inevitably be entanglements in this area. Do you want to take this path, or play professionally?"
"Uncle Yan, I am actually very afraid of death." Lou Cheng thought for a while and laughed at himself, "I really don't want to risk my life if it's not necessary. It would be more suitable for me to live a professional life by playing professional games."
Yan Kai nodded slightly: "Then what are your goals? Cheng Waigang?"
"Yes." Lou Cheng replied calmly, "Firstly, the most impressive warriors I am familiar with are all Wai Gang. I hope to have the strength to challenge them and compete with them. Secondly..."
Having said this, he paused and said, "Secondly, because Keke's grandfather and grandmother are both Waigang."
The words were short and profound, and Yan Zheke's eyebrows quirked up and a smile appeared on his face. He bit his lips and wanted to say something sweet, but due to the presence of his parents, he forced himself to endure it.
Yan Kaize seemed to be reminded of the past, and suddenly felt something. After being silent for a while, he said:
"Not bad, work hard."
Although I consider myself to be considered successful in my career and have enough self-cultivation, every time I face my father-in-law and mother-in-law who are powerful men in the Waigang, my feelings are still quite complicated... And most of Mingyu's business relies on the Ji family and the two of them.
Waigang...
Yan Kai didn't say anything more, and Ji Mingyu changed the subject, making the atmosphere more natural again. At the end, she looked at Lou Cheng with a smile and said, "Xiao Lou, are you going back to Songcheng tomorrow morning?"
"Yes, the flight is after ten o'clock." Lou Cheng answered truthfully.
Ji Mingyu turned to look at Yan Zheke again: "Keke, you'd better follow us today. When we get to the imperial capital, some elders still have to visit."
"Okay." Yan Zheke agreed crisply.
After saying goodbye, she sent Lou Cheng to the entrance of the courtyard.
"Is this the end?" Lou Cheng glanced back and asked with a confused look on his face.
This is completely different from the scene I imagined meeting my father-in-law and mother-in-law!
"Yeah, if it doesn't end like this, what else do you want to do?" Yan Zheke blinked and asked in a funny tone.
"Shouldn't you ask me about my specific situation? For example, my last name, my name, where I'm from, where I'm going, how many people live in my family, how many acres of land per capita, how many cows there are..." Lou Cheng replied in a joking tone.
.
According to other people’s experience, there will be cross-examination in this kind of meeting!
"Pfft..." Yan Zheke smiled and said, "It's not like they have no way to find out your specific situation, and under normal circumstances, they should ask me privately first. How could I ask you directly? This is so impolite.
How embarrassing!”
"Okay." Lou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Zheke pursed his lips, suddenly turned his head and looked to the side in embarrassment, and added:
"The Queen Mother is very, very satisfied with you now... She thinks you are talented, reliable, and can do what you say... She supports it, and my dad has no choice but to accept it."
Lou Cheng felt happy and deliberately exaggerated:
"This means that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more satisfied she becomes?"
"You are so beautiful!" Yan Zheke turned around and rolled her eyes at him, but her eyes were full of joy that could not be concealed.
The two chatted for a few more words before going back. Lou Cheng had nothing to do in the afternoon and relaxed. He did not meet up with his high school classmates in the imperial capital. He just chatted with them on Q for a while and had a half-day of leisure.
At night, Qi Fang followed her daily habit and called him at around ten o'clock to share how many congratulations she had received that day.
The next day, Lou Cheng did not relax and went to a nearby park to exercise.
When it was about to end, he suddenly found that his master had stood beside him with a wine bottle.
"Lin Que was 'caught' and returned to Shushan Zhai. He probably won't come back anymore. What are your plans?" Old Man Shi raised his chin.
Without waiting for Lou Cheng to answer, he continued: "As a teacher, I helped your principal win the championship, and you have had enough rest. You are barely able to start training. It's time to leave, brat, what do you want?"
Entering the professional competition early, or what?"
Master is leaving too... Lou Cheng was in a daze for a while, and the thought in his heart became clearer and firmer. He pondered and said:
"Master, it took me a year and a half to get to where I am now. I went too fast and too hastily. This national competition has exposed many problems. I want to sink in, settle down for a year, polish it well, and wait until I have an inhuman figure."
It might be better to enter the professional game again.”
"Also, Lin Que is gone, and so are you. If I leave again, won't the martial arts club suddenly return to its previous situation? Yes, it is much stronger than before, but everyone has not had time to truly grow up.
, they will probably not be able to qualify for the regional competition in the next semester, which will be a big blow to them. Moreover, the students of Songda finally supported us again. With enthusiasm, they will suddenly return to the starting point. They must be very disappointed and sad..."
"I think I want to stay for another year and bring other people with me. When they grow up and have fresh blood, I can leave. Haha, by then, I will be a senior and I won't have any classes. Even if I leave early,
You can also get a diploma..."
Old man Shi smiled when he heard this, took a sip of wine and said:
"I know what you want to do if you raise your butt. Hey, a sudden burst of superpowers is something Lin Que can do, and you will definitely choose to stay for another year... But,
When the time comes, old man, I will leave some things for you to do."
"What's the matter?" Lou Cheng asked in surprise.
"Regarding the Nine-Character Jue and Yandi Jin, I will pick some simple things for you to do by yourself, which will not only give you something to gain, but also give you some training. We will talk about it when the time comes." Old Man Shi said in a rare serious tone.
Because there is no "Yandi Jin" advanced by "Zhu Rong Jin", in order to balance the ice and fire, Lou Cheng's "Ice Frost Jin" has never evolved into "Ice Soul Jin".
"Okay." Lou Cheng suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask any more questions.
Old man Shi put his hands behind his back and clicked his tongue:
"Let's settle down and let's see how long it takes for you to become a non-human being."
…………
After the training, everyone in the martial arts club gathered together, rushed to the airport, and flew back to Songcheng. Along the way, other people who only knew that Lin Que had returned to Shushan Zhai to recuperate were laughing and joking, feeling a little excited about returning home in fine clothes. Lou Cheng also told his master.
The news of leaving was revealed to Yan Zheke, and both of them were sentimental.
After getting off the plane, a school bus came to pick them up. Lou Cheng and others returned to the new campus of Songda University after being away for many days.
This time, the school bus stopped directly outside the martial arts venue so that they could first put the national championship trophy into the honor room. On Monday, they would go to see the principal and receive praise.
I got off the car and walked towards the entrance of the martial arts venue.
"Suddenly it feels strange..." Lou Cheng turned his head and complained to Yan Zheke with a smile.
While they were talking, the two of them approached the gate and suddenly froze there, because it was filled with classmates, spontaneously filled with classmates, men and women, thousands of them!
They held banners and shouted in unison in an organized manner:
"Here we come!"
"We are the champions!"
The warm and exciting atmosphere rushed towards his face, but Lou Cheng's heart suddenly calmed down, and he unconsciously smiled.
