his substitute

When he saw Xun Musheng's participation certificate hanging on his chest, Wen Yun's fingers holding the water bottle tightened.

It was clearly autumn weather, but suddenly I felt chest tightness.

When their eyes met, Xun Musheng lost the madness and paranoia that night in his eyes, and smiled casually: "I'm here to participate in the basketball game."

Wen Yun did not expect to meet him here. His name was not on the registration form, and he did not meet the entry requirements at all.

Just like Xun Musheng asked someone to investigate Wen Yun, Wen Yun also inquired about the man who appeared out of nowhere, and knew that the man was born into a wealthy family, had a good background, was in business, was not married, and had no children.

As for whether the private life is chaotic or whether there are illegitimate children, Wen Yun can't find out.

As if to prove that he had indeed signed up, Xun Musheng shook the lanyard of the competition certificate, "I really came to participate in the event. Don't be nervous, I won't cause you any trouble."

Wen Yun picked up the folder, browsed quickly, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated. He couldn't believe that he didn't notice the word "Xun Musheng" when he checked the list.

Seeing the end, he frowned slightly: "It doesn't have your name on it."

"I'm here for my cousin." Xun Musheng pointed to a name on the list, "Lu Qing."

Wen Yun was speechless.

This kind of entertainment is not like an exam, and there are not so strict rules and regulations. It is not uncommon for Zhang San to sign up today and Li Si to participate tomorrow.As long as Zhang San and Li Si had a good discussion and the fees were settled, the organizer had no reason to reject Li Si.What's more, the role of the new media department in similar offline activities is similar to that of an intermediary. As long as the merchants and customers are satisfied, they have no position to intervene.

"Last night something happened at his house, so he can't come today." Xun Musheng continued, "I'll take a look for him."

Wen Yun sighed, and said in a business-like manner, "Are you alone?"

Xun Musheng: "I have no children."

Wen Yun was a little embarrassed, and understood that what Xun Musheng said before was all nonsense - if Lu Qing on the list really had something to do, there was no need to come, even if he had to find someone to replace him, he should find a relative with a child; moreover, He didn't think that Xun Musheng would get up early on weekends and drive all the way here just to "see" for his cousin.

What's so good about it?

"Can I sit in your rest area?" Xun Musheng said, "You can use me as a substitute."

Wen Yun had nothing to do, just happened to be a staff member from the organizer came to call him, and he had no time to talk to Xun Musheng, so he could only say, "Then you sit here."

The game in the morning was lackluster. It was a basketball game, but it was a parent-child activity in essence. There was almost no confrontation.

Wen Yun doesn't know how to coax children, and when he hears crying, he is in a state of distress, but he can't hide from his responsibilities, so he bites the bullet and patrols the venue, and directs the staff to adjust wherever there is a conflict.

Busy until noon, I had already forgotten that Xun Musheng was on the sidelines.

Xun Musheng never took his eyes off Wenyun.

Seeing him at the beginning of the year was like a surprise. He thought that the 18-year-old Wen Yun must be more radiant than when he was [-] years old. Therefore, when the extreme excitement subsided at the beginning of the reunion, what was left was disappointment and loss.

Compared with ordinary people, Wen Yun's appearance and figure are naturally outstanding.But compared to the perfect person in memory, he was far worse.

But looking at Wen Yun today, Xun Musheng suddenly felt that Wen Yun, who was busy in the crowd and working hard, was actually quite good, whether it was because of his changed mood or some other reason.

Wen Yun raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and casually pulled down the zipper of the tracksuit that had been pulled to the top, exposing a small section of his neck.

Xun Musheng's eyes showed a bit of gentleness, and the corners of his lips raised inadvertently.

The organizer included lunch, but the dishes were lackluster.Most of the participating families came not just for the basketball game—the father took the children to play basketball in the morning, and the mother spread the tablecloth on the nearby lawn, arranged the food they brought, and prepared for a picnic.

Only a very small number of single fathers are single-minded, seeing that "lunch included" is written on the activity schedule, they really don't bring anything. At this time, they have to take their sad-looking children to the organizer's dining spot.

Wen Yun didn't bring her own lunch either, and was about to go get a lunch box with other staff when she suddenly heard someone calling her name.

"Are you going to eat?" Xun Musheng asked.

Wen Yun had no choice but to let the others go first, "Yes."

"Can you take me with you?"

The phrase "Go yourself" stuck in his throat, Wen Yun hesitated for a moment, and suddenly felt that Xun Musheng, who was standing two steps away, was not quite the same as before.

Polite, gentle, and thoughtful, there seemed to be a few smiles in his eyes.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling person, and the other party's request is not too much.

Wen Yun could not find a reason to refuse.

"Come with me."

The box lunch is really unpalatable, two meat and one vegetarian, oily and salty, the organizer's own staff complained while eating——

"The boss is too picky, what kind of food is this? It has ruined the reputation, how can we do similar activities in the future?"

Wen Yun is not picky about food, he can eat pickled vegetables and rice, sitting at the same table with Xun Musheng, he just wants to finish eating and leave.

Xun Mu moved his chopsticks vigorously, but only ate a vine vegetable.

The big fat boy at the next table couldn't stop crying, blaming his stubborn father for not preparing lunch.The poor children at the dining table burst into tears and sobbed together, denouncing the "ignorant" fathers together.

Wen Yun felt a layer of goosebumps, quickly finished the rest of the meal, got up to leave, and suddenly saw Xun Musheng looking at the crying child and smiled.

Wen Yun was taken aback.

At this pause, Xun Musheng turned back, "Have you finished eating?"

Wen Yun lowered his eyes and saw that Xun Musheng's lunch box had hardly been touched.

But it has nothing to do with him.

"Yeah." He nodded, "Eat slowly, I'll go first."

"Let's go together." Xun Musheng stood up and picked up the plastic lunch box with one hand.

Wen Yun blurted out: "You don't want to eat?"

"I can't eat it." Xun Musheng said bluntly: "The rest of your activities are good, but the food is not good."

Wen Yun was a little embarrassed, as if he had been given a bad review by the buyer, "I'm sorry, it was my negligence at work that I didn't mention the food and beverage requirements to the merchant in advance."

So you pay me for a dinner.Xun Musheng thought so in his heart, but he only said, "It has nothing to do with you."

The game in the afternoon was originally planned to start at 2 o'clock, but after eating, drinking and playing at noon, many families were a little tired, and they waited until it was close to 3 o'clock before the fathers took their children to the field.

Wen Yun is not a very patient person, and he felt tired watching them procrastinate, and finally arranged every venue, and wanted to go to the rest area to rest, but remembered that Xun Musheng was still there.

Compared with the previous two times, Xun Musheng was much more normal this time, but he still didn't want to stay with the other party.

He was hesitating about how to pass the time when something went wrong on the field.

A fat dad probably ate too much, and after just a few minutes of playing, he covered his right abdomen and called for a timeout.

"No, no, no! It hurts like a tendon here!"

Seeing his father's end, the son immediately started to make a fuss, and two staff members hurried up to coax him, but with little effect.The other children waited for a long time, but they were not happy anymore. A monkey-like child shouted: "Don't delay the time, okay? If you don't have a father, don't fight, go home and farm!"

The two children immediately wrestled together.

Wen Yun had expected this situation a long time ago, so he put the basketball uniform in his backpack, explained a few words to the staff, and went to the locker room to change.

There was no one in the dressing room, and it was very quiet, but the sky was boiling outside, and the agarwood beads slipped along with the broken red rope and fell to the ground, but the owner didn't know anything about it.

Wen Yun came on the field to temporarily replace the fat father who was suffering from abdominal pain. The son who had just refused to let go immediately cheered up and muttered to Wen Yun: "You must be better than my father! My father is too fat and missed a goal this morning. You are so Thin, you must be able to shoot three-pointers, right?"

Wen Yun ignored the opponent, but raised his hand for a three-pointer. The ball didn't even touch the hoop, and the goal was extremely beautiful.

The field was quiet for a second, and then childish cheers and screams broke out.

Xun Musheng's pupils tightened, and his heart trembled violently.

Wen Yun's posture of jumping up and shooting the ball gradually merged with the boy back then!

He stood up, his eyes burning.

However, because of this three-pointer, Wen Yun "came to the fire" - intended to solve the problem of "lack of father" on the court. Unexpectedly, when other children saw it, they all shouted that it was unfair, thinking that their father could not shoot three-pointers, and rushed He came up to drag him to his own team, and the fat dad suddenly regained his energy, instigated his son to hug his legs tightly, snot and tears, and refused to let him shoot three-pointers for other children.

The scene became extremely chaotic for a while, and almost all the children rushed forward.

He couldn't handle it at all, his eyes were blacked out by the screaming and crying.

The staff did not expect it to develop like this, they looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, the sound of the basketball hitting the ground came, one after another, very rhythmic.

The noisy children quieted down and followed the prestige.Wen Yun finally got a chance to breathe. Looking in that direction, it was Xun Musheng!

Xun Musheng had already taken off his jacket and was wearing the same basketball uniform as his parents. He smashed the basketball to the ground with his right hand. When the basketball bounced off, he caught it firmly with his five fingers, and then turned it just right so that the basketball stood on his index finger.

"Wow!" The children's eyes lit up.

Xun Musheng turned around, dribbled the ball and ran to where Wen Yun was standing just now, jumped up, shot, the basketball made an arc in the air, hit the hoop with a "bang", spun around, hit the net, and scored!

"Ah!" The children around Wen Yun rushed towards Xun Musheng, jumping and jumping.

"I'll do a three-pointer too." Xun Musheng picked up the ball, made another three-pointer, and then performed a dribbling layup and a fancy trick, coaxing all the children over.

Wen Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling surprised.

In his opinion, Xun Musheng's actions were somewhat inconceivable.

The parent-child basketball game became Xun Musheng's performance show, but the show did not last long.Xun Musheng seemed to be very measured. When he was hugged and shouted "one more", he shook his head with a smile, squatted among the "little fans", and handed the basketball to one of the children.

Wen Yun watched from a distance, but couldn't hear what Xun Musheng was saying, but his footsteps seemed to be attracted, and he walked forward involuntarily.

Approaching, Xun Musheng had already coaxed the children, no one was crying anymore, everyone raised their faces and gleefully cheered at him.

Probably because he noticed the movement behind him, Xun Musheng turned his head, his eyes fixed slightly, "It's all right."

Wen Yun stood there dumbfounded, his heart was surging, and his fingertips were numb.

Many years ago, when he couldn't cope with the crying children, it was Chi Yu who ran over and coaxed the children into laughter with a few words.

At that time, Chi Yu also squatted like this, and said a similar sentence to him.

Two completely different people, the only thing they have in common is that they both look fierce. They are supposed to scare away children, but in fact they can easily coax them.

Wen Yun's Adam's apple rolled, and an indescribable emotion was rampant in his mind.

The next game went smoothly, Xun Musheng Ruyan became the substitute, Wen Yun was preoccupied, returned to the rest area, and habitually touched his neck, only to find that the beads were gone.

As if falling into an ice cellar, he ran to the locker room.

Fortunately, the game was not over yet, and no one else went to the locker room. Wen Yun searched anxiously, and after a few minutes, he saw the red rope and the dead wood beads that had fallen under the stool.

The red string had already been broken, and he had lingering fears, so he didn't dare to wear it again. After his heartbeat calmed down and the feeling of fear subsided, he stuffed the beads together with the red string into his backpack.

After such a toss, the impact of Xun Musheng's turning around slowly dissipated.

In the evening, the event ended. Although there were many small episodes, there were no major mistakes overall.

Wen Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go to the parking lot to pick up the car, when he saw Xun Musheng who was wearing a coat walking over.

"Let's have dinner together tonight." Xun Musheng cut to the chase.

Wen Yun subconsciously wanted to refuse, but thinking of the other party's help in the afternoon, he couldn't say anything if he refused.

"I didn't eat at noon." Xun Musheng said again: "After playing for a while, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable."

Wen Yun felt even more guilty when he thought about the bad lunch.

Xun Musheng asked, "Is that all right?"

After hesitating for half a minute, Wen Yun nodded and said softly, "Okay."

Xun Musheng smiled: "What do you want to eat?"

"It will be all right."

The two walked towards the parking lot, Wen Yun was very confused, and suddenly heard Xun Musheng say: "If you can do anything, then eat the food I like."

He was stunned on the spot, the horror in his eyes reflected the myriad rays of light in the sky.

"What did you say?"
