Zhang Li insisted on spending money to hire a tutor for Lu Shanmin. It wasn't until Lu Shanmin repeatedly emphasized that he planned to study on his own that he could find a friend to ask for advice when he encountered something he didn't understand without having to waste money, so Zhang Li gave up the idea of hiring a tutor.
However, Zhang Li emphasized that she would regularly check Lu Shanmin's learning status, and if it did not meet her expectations, she would follow her method.
After washing, I lay on the sofa and subconsciously looked at my phone, with a smile on my face. Zeng Yaqian sent a text message.
"Something happened just now, so my phone was set to silent."
Lu Shanmin replied: "How are you in the United States?"
"good".
"Oh, I heard from Guan Yue that your trip to the United States to investigate the Internet went well."
"good".
"Well, next week I will represent the Financial College in the Donghai University Sanda League."
"Um".
"Um, when will you come back?"
"decide as things go".
Lu Shanmin held the phone, a flash of disappointment flashing through his heart. Although he couldn't see Zeng Yaqian's expression, from the words she replied, she seemed to be indifferent to him.
"Well, then you should go to bed early."
In a luxurious suite of a five-star hotel on the other side of the ocean, Zeng Yaqian is lying on a large bed, with a depressed look on her face. She is such a lump, she doesn’t even understand a girl’s basic thoughts. It’s been a month, and you just called me.
Can I not be angry with a phone call?
She wanted to scold him, so she replied angrily: "Don't you have anything else to say to me?"
After waiting for a long time, the other end of the phone finally came back with two words: "Good night."
Zeng Yaqian angrily threw her cell phone on the bed, punched the pillow with her fists, and said to herself, you have no conscience.
The bell rang outside the door, and Zeng Yaqian frowned, thinking that the waiters in this hotel didn't know the rules. They disturbed people's sleep in the middle of the night. She got out of bed and rushed to the door full of anger, "Who is it, fuck off?"
"Ya Qian, it's me, Meng Haoran."
Zeng Yaqian saw through the peephole, it turned out to be Meng Haoran, "It's so late, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I have an appointment with Professor Smith from MIT tomorrow. I think we'd better sort out the matters we need to consult tomorrow tonight."
Zeng Yaqian said angrily: "No, I've thought about it all."
The long-awaited Donghai University Sanda League has finally arrived. The number of participants is more than Mou Dongyun expected. There are more than 400 people in total. There are more than 250 people in the 65kg and above level, which far exceeds Mou Dongyun's expectations.
The competition is divided into four divisions, namely Donghai University of Finance and Economics, Donghai Jiaotong University, Donghai Sports University, and Donghai University.
Chen Dacheng was assigned to the Donghai University of Finance and Economics division, and Lu Shanmin was assigned to the Donghai Jiaotong University division.
Early in the morning, Mou Dongyun drove Chen Dacheng to the University of Finance and Economics in his old Santana, and then drove to Donghai Jiaotong University.
Along the way, Mou Dongyun kept talking about light topics to make Lu Shanmin relax. In fact, his own hands holding the steering wheel were shaking a little.
This time, there are professional players such as Mou Yicheng, and Wang Xiaonan, the champion of the previous two years. Lu Shanmin's only chance is to win third place, but now there are five more students from the Sanda Department of Donghai Sports University for no reason, which is more than in previous years.
With so many players, I really don't know whether I can get the third place. This is not only related to the financial expert and his reputation, but also the life and death of the Sanda Association.
The football field of Donghai Jiaotong University is divided into four areas, and a arena is set up in each area. After a while, the four arenas will hold four group competitions at the same time.
The stands around the football stadium were packed, and nearly half of them were students from Donghai Jiaotong University. Although there were fewer students from other schools, each of the fifty or sixty universities organized a certain number of students to come to cheer. Together, the remaining
The lower half of the place was full of people.
A corner of the stand had the words Donghai Financial High School written on it, and Mou Dongyun led Lu Shanmin over.
Looking at the empty area, Lu Shanmin couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Mou, didn't the Financial College organize students to come and cheer?"
Mou Dongyun curled his lips and said, "I go home after playing a game every year. Who can come to watch? Not to mention the students, I am the only teacher. But the members of the Sanda Association will come over later."
Lu Shanmin looked up at other areas. Donghai University had the largest number of people from outside schools. Wang Xiaonan was assigned to the Donghai Sports University competition area in the group stage. However, there were many contestants from Donghai University, and there were probably several in the Jiaotong University competition area.
Mou Dongyun lowered his head and prepared braces, kneepads, towels and buckets.
"Teacher Mou, which division is Mou Yicheng in in the group stage?"
Mou Dongyun raised his head and said: "In this competition area, you are in group 13 and he is in group 16." He said happily: "Fortunately, you are not assigned to the same group."
Lu Shanmin looked at Arena No. 4, which was the arena for the 16th group stage, and said calmly: "Sooner or later we will meet."
Mou Dongyun also looked at Arena No. 4, "The later the better, it's best to meet in the finals."
The two people were sitting in the empty area of the Financial College. The support teams from both sides of the school cast strange glances from time to time, and some students even pointed and whispered to each other.
Lu Shanmin said to Mou Dongyun: "Teacher Mou, why do I feel like they are looking at us like animals in a zoo?"
Mou Dongyun raised his hand, looked at his watch, and cursed, "Those bastards, they promised to arrive at 8:30, but they haven't arrived yet."
The contestants from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China on the side cast a disdainful look and said to the people next to them: "This is a garbage school that is just here to kill people. I really don't know where they got the courage to come and participate in the competition."
A few bold girls looked at Lu Shanmin and said, "He looks pretty good, but I don't know if he has a silver wax gun head."
"You naughty bitch, don't forget which camp you belong to. You were so quickly swayed by the handsome guy." Another girl pinched the girl who had spoken before.
They were right next to each other, so Lu Shanmin's hunter's ears heard these words clearly, "Teacher Mou, how is the strength of this University of Electronic Science and Technology of China?"
Mou Dongyun pursed his lips. People who practice martial arts have a strong competitive spirit. He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Smile at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps. Remember to beat the people from their school until they are full of teeth."
The girls next to me giggled, "Then the middle-aged man is still not convinced."
A contestant from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China slowly walked up to Lu Shanmin and Mou Dongyun, and deliberately moved his arms twice. The muscles in both arms were ferocious.
Lu Shanmin glanced at Lu Shanmin with disdain and said: "This classmate, we are in the same group. The coach has known about your records before. In the past few years, every player you have participated in has been KOed. If you are not convinced, we can
Make a bet".
Lu Shanmin looked up and saw that the person who came here weighed at least 85 kilograms. He was covered in massive muscles and was wearing a sports shirt that was fully stretched out. He was a heavyweight player. Such a weight would undoubtedly give him a big advantage. No wonder he was so rampant.
Lu Shanmin glanced at him, "How to bet?"
The visitor smiled arrogantly and said, "Let's bet on who of the two of us will be beaten to pieces in the ring."
"What if the two of us don't meet in the first round, and one of us happens to be knocked out by KO in the first round and can't participate in the next round?"
"The first one out loses."
"What do you want to bet on"?
The visitor laughed and said, "Whoever loses will shout loudly on the stage that his school is garbage."
Lu Shanmin sneered, "Are you sure you want to bet?"
"Haha, why, you don't dare to gamble"?
Mou Dongyun laughed loudly on the side, "I took this bet."
The visitor looked at Mou Dongyun with a smile, "This teacher, you must keep your word."
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this at all. It's me who should worry about you. Will you keep your word?"
The person who came had an angry look on his face and coldly snorted, "Of course you will."
After the man left, Lu Shanmin turned to Mou Dongyun and asked, "Teacher Mou, are you trying to attract hatred for me?"
"Hmph, if you can't even beat this thing, you don't have to fight in the next games."
Before the start of the group stage, each team leader will go on stage to draw lots, and those with the same number will play in their first round.
Due to the increase in the number of participants this year, each group has increased from ten to sixteen. In the first round, Lu Shanmin drew number 8. It was the last game of the first round of this group. The opponent was a junior college.
.
The boy from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China shook the number in his hand at Lu Shanmin, it was number 1, "Brother, hold on, don't get knocked out and not be able to win the next round."
Lu Shanmin smiled at him and said, "Same for you."
It wasn't until the lottery was drawn that seven or eight people from the Sanda Association came over, and another group of people went to Donghai Finance to cheer Chen Dacheng. These seven or eight people were inevitably scolded by Mou Dongyun again.
The competition officially started, with four groups and four arenas starting at the same time. The contestant from the University of Electronic Science and Technology walked onto the No. 1 arena arrogantly. His opponent estimated to weigh about 65 kilograms. Standing next to him, he was obviously a size smaller. The fight had not started yet.
, it can be seen that the momentum has been lost.
The two tested each other. The player from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China immediately gave up his defense and charged forward with a combination of punches. The opponent was frightened and completely ignored the gap left by his opponent. He directly held his head and backed away. After a few punches,
I was forced into a corner.
"Bang", an uppercut hit, and with a scream of "Ah", the man fell to the ground.
The referee quickly ran over and patted the ground to read the reading. Before the reading was finished, the man himself raised his hands in a staggering gesture of surrender.
The students from the University of Electronic Science and Technology next to them all stood up with a roar and cheered loudly. The winner stood on the ring with his hands raised in the air, raised his arms and shouted, enjoying the cheers of his own school.
Mou Dongyun is right. The level gap in this kind of college amateur league is indeed very large. In addition, it is only divided into two levels: under 65 kg and over 65 kg. The chance of KO is greatly increased.
In the competition between four arenas and four groups, in the first round, three arenas lost their opponents by KO in the first round. The only arena that made it to the second round was also directly defeated by the opponent in the second round.
Lu Shanmin was drawn with lottery number 8. He thought that his turn would be in the afternoon, but now it seems that it might be his turn in the morning.
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from one side of the stands, and Lu Shanmin heard the familiar name.
"Mou Yicheng"!
"Mou Yicheng"!
"Mou Yicheng"!
Thunderous shouts rang out from the stands of Tunghai University.
Not only Tunghai University, but the students in the stands of the entire school cheered. Most of the people who came here to watch the game were fond of Sanda. For such a rookie in the professional league, many people knew his name.
Lu Shanmin looked toward the bleachers of Tunghai University, and saw a figure that suddenly shocked his heart, with five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and sour.
That familiar figure has appeared in my dreams countless times, and those familiar pasts have appeared in my mind countless times.
Her ponytail is gone, replaced by shoulder-length hair, which is more charming.
Wearing a beautiful long dress, she completely concealed the atmosphere of the mountains. She had the temperament of a city person. Even the people in Lu Shan couldn't see a trace of the mountain people.
Her smile is still so sweet. This smile has often appeared in front of her before, and it has also appeared in her dreams more than once.
The difference is that this smile is not facing him now, but facing Mou Yicheng who is stepping onto the ring.
Lu Shanmin's heart palpitated.
I thought I had forgotten it, but it was buried deep in my heart.
I thought it would fade away, but my heart would still be pounding.
I unconsciously touched the bear paw print on my back. Not only was it clearly imprinted on my body, it was also deeply rooted in my heart.
Time seems to have passed when you don’t see me, but time flies back when you see me again.
The intersection at the mountain col was where she waited for her to come back from hunting in the mountains.
On the roof of the attic, the moon and stars were sparse, and under the complete silence there were the voices of many boys and girls.
The cheers of the entire stadium were so muffled that it was hard to hear. The gurgling sound of the clear spring in the mountains, the chirping of crickets in the woods, and her clear and sweet laughter like a lark, lingered in my heart.
My mind is like a flood opening, and the torrent of memories rushes out and goes straight into my heart.
The entire world automatically switched to her alone.
"Hey", Mou Dongyun patted Lu Shanmin on the shoulder, "Why are you so stupid?"
Lu Shanmin woke up, and everyone in the stands was still shouting the name "Mou Yicheng".
"It hasn't started yet"?
Mou Dongyun said bitterly: "The fight is over, what are you thinking absentmindedly? At such a critical moment, please don't let me down."
"It's over"? Lu Shanmin looked at Mou Dongyun in surprise.
"Mou Yicheng's opponent just bowed to him and automatically admitted defeat."
Lu Shanmin snorted, as if he didn't hear Mou Dongyun's words, and asked calmly: "Teacher Mou, you said that good friends who have known each other for more than ten years and have always had a good relationship suddenly forget about each other?"
Mou Dongyun said subconsciously: "I shouldn't forget it."
Lu Shanmin nodded slightly, "I think so too. I think she won't forget me so easily."
Mou Dongyun was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Lu Shanmin's nose and said angrily: "What the hell are you talking to me about? This is a competition. The competition has begun. The enemy is right in front of you. You kid is telling me nonsense."
You can't forget anything." He rolled up his sleeves and said, "If you dare to be passive and sabotage, I, I". Mou Dongyun's face turned red with anger, "I, I will die for you to see."
Lu Shanmin frowned and said, "Teacher Mou, don't be nervous, I'm fine."
Mou Dongyun's eyes widened, "Am I nervous? Why am I nervous? It's obviously because you are distracted."
Lu Shanmin unconsciously looked towards the Donghai University area again.
Amid cheers, Mou Yicheng walked down the stands with brisk steps.
He walked towards the familiar figure.
She looked at him and smiled, as sweetly as she did when he smiled at her.
Lu Shanmin's heart palpitated, and a bad warning sign sounded.
She took out a towel.
The towel wiped his face, even though there was no sweat on his face at all. Just like when she came back from hunting, she used a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, regardless of whether there was sweat on her face or not.
His fists clenched unconsciously, and he roared angrily in his heart, "No, this can't be true. That scumbag participated in this competition because of Bai Ling."
Thinking of Mou Dongyun's description of Mou Yicheng and Ye Zixuan's evaluation of Mou Yicheng, Lu Shanmin's eyes turned blood red and his face became ferocious.
Mou Dongyun was about to ask Lu Shanmin to watch the game on the stage, but found that Lu Shanmin had already stood up, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura. This kind of aura, even when he was surrounded by more than a dozen people in the alley of Minsheng West Road,
, it’s not that strong either.
Mou Dongyun, who has participated in many ring competitions, knows that it is a murderous spirit that has surpassed the fighting spirit in the narrow sense.
Mou Dongyun quickly stood up and took Lu Shanmin's hand.
"Mountain man, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Shanmin ignored Mou Dongyun's inquiry, put aside Mou Dongyun's hand arrogantly, and walked slowly towards the area of Tunghai University.
Seeing that Lu Shanmin suddenly changed and walked towards that direction like crazy, Mou Dongyun was so angry that he beat his chest and feet, with ten thousand horses racing in his heart, so he had to follow quickly to see what this kid was going to do.
Mou Yicheng enjoyed Bai Ling's sweat wiping with a smile on his face. All the girls around him looked at him with envy and jealousy. They all imagined how great it would be if they were the ones wiping sweat at this moment.
The girls' screams made Bai Ling blush, and her shyness made Mou Yicheng's blood boil.
He smiled and held up Bai Ling's face, showing a proud smile.
That smile, which Lu Shanmin thought was extremely evil and weird, completely ignited the anger in Lu Shanmin's heart.
"Roar", an angry roar overwhelmed the screams of the girls.
Bai Ling's heart skipped a beat. This roar was so familiar, as if coming from the distant Mazui Village. Once upon a time, this roar would also be heard when a naughty boy in the class bullied her.
She felt a little surprised, but also a little happy. This roar had protected her for many years. She had to endure the pain of saying goodbye. She thought she would never hear it again in this life, but she never thought that she could hear it again here and now.
Shouldn't he be in Mazui Village? How did he end up in the East China Sea? Isn't he a mountain villager? How could he appear in a university full of college students?
She turned her head, smiled, with tears in her eyes, and whispered in a trembling voice, "Brother Mountain Man."
