Chapter four hundred and ninety-ninth five-year old friend
There is a circle of open-air balcony-style corridors on the fourth floor of the gymnasium, and there is a slender smoke extinguisher at some distance next to the fence. It is regarded as a default smoking place in the stadium. Xiao Yuan walked here with ease and sighed in his heart that five years have passed.
, I can still remember this place so clearly. The cigarette that had been rubbed countless times finally passed the flames and was lit. With a slight hiss, the cigarette butt was missing by an inch.
Looking out from here, you can see the bustling evening street scene of City B in the distance. Colorful vehicles like a long queue are slowly moving forward on the road. Huge promotional posters of the All-Star Battle can also be seen vaguely on the street. However, it is winter in City B.
There is a lot of smog. Under the gray sky, the whole city has lost a bit of vitality, and the high-rise streets look quite depressing.
The smoke clouds from Xiao Yuan's mouth curled up, covering the haze-rendered scenery in front of him, making the dark scene look even more gloomy. However, he was in a good mood. He exhaled the smoke and opened the corners of his mouth slightly.
There was a smile on his face. He used his fingers to control the cigarette and scratched the mouth of the smoke extinguisher twice, and the burned cigarette ashes fell into it.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're still so addicted to smoking." A man's slightly hoarse voice sounded from behind.
Xiao Yuan's hand holding half of the cigarette hovered in the air. He did not turn around in a hurry, but thought about it on the spot. For a moment, he seemed to finally remember the owner of the voice, and laughed a few times happily: "That's really it.
I didn’t expect it to be you.”
"I didn't expect it, or didn't think of it?" The man walked slowly to Xiao Yuan's side. He was dressed in black, with sharp angular facial lines, a slightly square jaw, darker skin color, and slender eyes. The whole face has the unique perseverance of northerners.
His eyes reveal the aura of a wise man, and at first glance he is a person who is good at interpersonal relationships.
As soon as the man in black stood still, Xiao Yuan handed him a cigarette, and he took out another cigarette, flipping open the lighter cap with a flick of his hand, and a cluster of blue flames rose up.
The man took the cigarette, lowered his head slightly and lit it on the cluster of flames, then straightened up and took a deep breath. Xiao Yuan took back the lighter and lit the second cigarette on his lips, but at the same time he said: "Of course I didn't expect that, you
I will never forget your name, don’t worry.”
"...and the world." The man held the cigarette sideways with his index finger and thumb and looked at it carefully. He said with emotion in a unique hoarse voice, "Five years ago, Xiao Yuan never left a dozen pieces of soft white sand in his hand, smoking.
He smoked and defeated hundreds of teams and won the championship. Five years later, Boss Xiao was smoking He Tianxia. It was really different."
"Aren't you the same, the coach of the team five years ago, five years later... uh, what is it?" Xiao Yuan blinked a few times quickly, looked at the man in black with a smile, "Tsk, I only remember that time
It is said that you went to WCG, and now... you are here to join the fierce battle professional league, right?"
"Hehehe, I have no interest in fussing with this, but it does have something to do with the fierce battle at the moment." The man in black also chuckled, but did not reveal his current identity.
"What's the matter with bringing me all the way here with a ticket?" Xiao Yuan asked.
"Why don't I invite you out to watch a show and catch up on old times?" The man in black frowned, "I've been abroad. It's rare for me to come to City B today, and I have to leave tomorrow. Someone just happened to tell me that you are far away in City B.
Jiangge's address, just send a ticket to see if you can come, don't think it's so complicated."
"Where are those two children?" Xiao Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the man in black, "They are also your friends. Send two tickets and make an appointment to meet them? Do you want me to call them?"
"You misunderstood. Those two people are really a coincidence. The only tickets sent from me were va05. As for them, someone else should have arranged it." The man in black said.
"Oh, you are always so elusive in your work." Xiao Yuan did not argue with him, knowing full well that this guy didn't want to admit it. Even if the stone hammer evidence was in front of him, he could completely overturn it, and the more serious it was, the more difficult it was to deal with.
"Am I elusive? Tsk tsk, I wonder who just showed his hands and paralyzed a circle of professional players. Compared with this person, I am as innocent as a child." The man in black walked around Xiao Yuan in two steps.
, flicked the cigarette ashes on the smoke extinguisher, and simply leaned on the guardrail next to him, looking sideways at his friend whom he had not seen for four or five years with interest.
"Come on, I also learned these two skills from you." Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly, "Think about it, I followed you when I was 16 years old, and I stayed with you until I was 23. In seven years, one-tenth of my life,
All the monkeys have been trained by you."
"Hey, are you praising me as the ancestor of Bodhi, or are you saying that you are Sun Wukong? Do you want me to knock you on the head three times and come to my room to talk all night?" The man in black laughed.
Standing up, laughter spread almost throughout the entire fourth floor.
"Time flies so fast, seven years plus five years... In the blink of an eye, I will be three soon. When I turn thirty, let's just stand here and be the boss of Yuanjiang Pavilion. I can't care about so much else." Xiao Yuan
Knowing that he had already stated his intention in what he just said, he might have considered it back then, but now he has no idea at all.
"Of course, of course, your Yuanjiang Pavilion cannot be closed. I also hope that you will open a branch in the United States so that I can drink Xiao's tea there. I had expected that you would refuse, but besides
Apart from this, there are some things that I didn't do back then. Now that you can do them, don't hesitate so much." said the man in black.
"Are you the Patriarch Bodhi, or the Sun Wukong who can sneak into people's stomachs and eavesdrop?" Xiao Yuan said with a smile, "You know what I am hesitating about?"
"Don't tell me that Monkey Sun's trick of drilling into people's stomachs was also taught by Patriarch Bodhi. It proves that he did it before, right?"
Xiao Yuan laughed even harder when he heard this. He stuffed the cigarette butt into the cigarette extinguisher with shaking hands, raised his eyes to look at this person, and said loudly: "In this world, I, Xiao Yuan, will obey you, and I will never obey another person.
Yuanjiang Pavilion and Mr. Xiao will play a big game for you this time, and I will live up to your hard work of three tickets."
"Hey... why are you saying this like a military order? Besides, I really gave you a ticket. I didn't give it to anyone else. It must have been given by other ghosts in the alliance. I don't even know the names of those two kids.
, please stop hanging on my head." The man in black also put the cigarette into the smoke extinguisher, with an aggrieved look on his face.
"Do you believe me?" Xiao Yuan asked, staring at the man in black.
"I don't believe it." The man in black also stared at Xiao Yuan, shook his head and replied seriously.
"Well, that's right!"
Just as the two of them were looking at each other like children, a young and thin figure walked slowly from the entrance, wearing a bloody battle uniform, looking at Xiao Yuan. After arriving in the corridor, he stood aside,
He seemed to be waiting for them to finish talking.
