unrivaled gymnastics

Boss Qi yelled at the case: "Enough! Qi Chong, go home and think about your mistakes behind closed doors! How did I give birth to such a messy grandson like you! What a family misfortune!"

Qi Chong refused to give an inch: "Grandpa, why are you turning your elbows all the way out? Those who don't know think Gu Shaoxia is your own grandson!"

"You...!" Boss Qi grabbed his leading crutch and wanted to beat Qi Chong hard.

Xiao Xuechen stood up suddenly, and held Boss Qi's hand holding the cane.Boss Qi only felt a heavy force pressing on the back of his hand, which was so heavy that he couldn't move. He was like a mirror in his heart, Xiao Shaoxia was suppressing his actions with internal force.

Xiao Xuechen turned to Qi Chong, with a cold tone: "Master Qi is not from the Jianghu, so I am afraid he does not understand the rules of the Jianghu. Walking in the Jianghu pays attention to the word 'propriety and righteousness', even if you come to kick the court, you must first fight. If the grandfather invites you to come to the banquet, the visitor is a guest. How can you use weapons against the guests? Could it be that the Qi family held a Hongmen banquet? If this matter spreads, the Qi family may become a laughing stock in the world. Master Qi Just don't care about us, don't you even care about your grandfather's face?"

Qi Chong blushed and lowered his hands in embarrassment.He admitted that what Xiao Xuechen said made sense, he just wanted to kill Gu Xiaofei on the spur of the moment, but he didn't consider the Qi family's reputation.If it spreads out, what those Jianghu people will say about grandpa!

"Then, what do you mean, there is no competition today?" He tied his tongue.

"The future will be long, and there will be opportunities in the future. If Young Master Qi really wants to make friends through martial arts, you might as well sign up for the martial arts conference. That's where young martial artists can flex their muscles."

Qi Chong's eyes lit up.That's right, isn't the martial arts conference going to be held soon?I heard that amateurs can also sign up, so he can definitely compete with Gu Xiaofei in the martial arts competition!Even if they didn't meet each other in the competition, as long as his ranking is higher than Gu Xiaofei's, wouldn't it still mean that he is superior?

He asked Gu Xiaofei: "You want to participate in the martial arts conference, right?"

Gu Xiaofei said: "No, I didn't even report my name!"

"Then hurry up and report now! What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up! I'm coming too!"

"Together... what???"

Qi Chong raised his face and pointed at Gu Xiaofei: "For the sake of you being Grandpa's guest, it's fine if you don't compete with me now, but you don't even participate in the martial arts conference? Do you look down on me? Or..." He Turning his eyes, he mocked, "Are you scared?"

"I didn't!"

"I think you're just scared. Hmph, what a young martial arts hero, it's just a superficial appearance, but it's actually a bunch of embroidered pillows!"

He not only scolded Gu Xiaofei, but also scolded Xiao Xuechen.Gu Xiaofei doesn't care about Qi Chong's prejudice against him at all, just like Teacher Su's teaching: don't argue with idiots.But Qi Chong scolded Xiao Xuechen, whether he could bear it or not, Gu Xiaofei wished he could rush over and beat him up, and make him kneel on the ground to apologize to Xiao Xuechen.

Boss Qi patted the table, and the cups and dishes on the table jumped together: "Nonsense! How can you talk to others!"

Gu Xiaofei looked at the old man, thinking that no matter how wrong Qi Chong was, he had to give Boss Qi a face. Boss Qi was old and the host of the dinner party, so he held back his anger and said to Qi Chong: "Then I will sign up too! See you at the martial arts conference!"

"Haha, don't regret it!" Qi Chong clasped his fists again and walked away swaggeringly.

... so easy to deal with, he is really the stupid son of the landlord's family.Xiao Xuechen thought silently.

Xiao Xuechen let go of Boss Qi's hand.Boss Qi let out a long sigh, sat down slumped, and smiled apologetically to the two guests: "You two are joking. My grandson was spoiled by me since he was a child, and his parents left early, which made him grow into such a lawless man. Don’t be as knowledgeable as him. This old man will use tea instead of wine to apologize to the two young heroes on Qi’s behalf.”

"Boss Qi is serious." Xiao Xuechen followed suit and drank a cup. "Young and energetic is not necessarily a bad thing. I think it makes Sun Sheng lively and energetic, which is completely different from some decadent youths nowadays."

"Xiao Shaoxia doesn't need to say good things for that bastard. The more you say that, the more shameful this old man will feel. I hope he will encounter more obstacles in society and become more tactful and sensible."

The banquet was so disturbed by Qi Chong that it became a bit dull.The three ate some dishes in silence, and Boss Qi left the table on the pretext of feeling unwell.The host was not there, so Xiao Xuechen and Gu Xiaofei were bored with the dishes on the table.

"Go back?" Xiao Xuechen asked.

"Well, it's getting late, and I'm going to work tomorrow." Gu Xiaofei agreed, "By the way, can we take away the leftover dishes? We haven't touched several dishes, so it's a waste." He thought for a while, Say, "Do I look poor like this?"

Before the words were finished, a waiter pushed the door in and said, "The packed lunch box you want."

"It's already ready." Xiao Xuechen said.

Gu Xiaofei grinned.When did Xiao Daxia order the waiter to bring the lunch box, and he didn't notice?Knowing him so well is worthy of being Hero Xiao.Although it looks cold on the surface, Gu Xiaofei knows that Xiao Xuechen is more careful and considerate than anyone else.

But now he is in charge of Xiao Xuechen's meals, and he asked to pack the food, will Xiao Xuechen think that he is trying to be lazy and not cook?

Or, Xiao Xuechen actually thinks that his cooking skills are not very good?

Xiao Xuechen patted Gu Xiaofei on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Don't think too much. We, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, are best at enduring hardship."

... Xiao Daxia, your eyes are so tragic, I have to think about it!Woohoo, is my cooking really that bad?Gu Xiaofei wants to cry but has no tears.

***

Since he had put down a harsh word and wanted to compete with Qi Chong in the martial arts conference, Gu Xiaofei had no choice but to sign up for the competition.Xiao Xuechen found the online registration page for the martial arts conference and instructed him how to fill in his personal information.

Gu Xiaofei recalled it halfway through: Xiao Daxia, who has always cherished words like gold, is so active today, asking him to participate in the martial arts conference, why does it seem... like a trap?

"...Xiao Daxia, did you deliberately guide Qi Chong to think about participating in the competition, so that I will also participate in the competition?" He asked quietly.

Xiao Xuechen turned around and left: "I'm going to practice."

"Sure enough! Why are you like this! No, why am I like this! You can't even see such a simple aggressive method! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! .

He struck lightly, just joking, every time he slapped his body like a kitten's pad, it made Xiao Xuechen want to laugh.

"You know I don't know martial arts! Why did you participate in the martial arts conference! Qi Chong must have beaten me out of the arena with a stick! No, I was hanged and beaten before I met Qi Chong!"

Xiao Xuechen restrained his faint smile, turned around and grabbed Gu Xiaofei's wrist with lightning speed.Gu Xiaofei froze, was he too presumptuous just now and offended Daxia Xiao?

"Xiao Fei, do you trust me?"

"Uh...um!" Gu Xiaofei nodded hesitantly.

"No matter what I say, even if it sounds weird, do you believe me?"

"I... believe you... you won't lie to me casually." Gu Xiaofei was a little dazed.

Why is Xiao Daxia so serious all of a sudden?It made him nervous... But the serious Xiao Daxia has a stern charm. Gu Xiaofei's words are poor, and he doesn't know how to describe it, but he has watched some documentaries with his roommates. It's probably like... a towering glacier under the aurora. Man, it's daunting again.

"That's good." Xiao Xuechen's expression merged a bit, "Listen to me, you can use your radio gymnastics to meet the enemy, don't worry too much, just give it a go."

Gu Xiaofei wanted to yell Daxia Xiao, did you take the wrong medicine?How can radio gymnastics beat the kung fu of martial arts masters?Don't waste the registration fee, okay?

But Xiao Xuechen's eyes didn't look like he was joking.

He bit his lip.Just now he promised Xiao Xuechen that no matter what he said, he would believe it, how could he break his promise so quickly?Besides, Hero Xiao won't harm him, Hero Xiao has been immersed in martial arts for so many years, since he said so, there must be a reason for him.

"I believe in you." Gu Xiaofei said.

Xiao Xuechen let go of his hand, raised his chin, and motioned to the computer: "Fill out the registration information."

***

Gu Xiaofei tossed and turned and did not fall asleep all night.Partly because of excitement, partly because of fear.For participating in the martial arts competition, he does not report any hope. As long as he does not lose in the first round, he will be satisfied, and he does not expect that he can defeat Qi Chong, but a certain corner of his heart is still happy to kill the Quartet, The dream of success and fame.

People are so contradictory.

Looking at the night sky outside the window, he suddenly felt stuffy, so he put on his clothes and tiptoed up to the rooftop, trying to get some air.

Unexpectedly, someone on the rooftop had already arrived one step ahead.

Xiao Xuechen sat in the middle of the roof with his back to him, with an epee across his lap like a cloud.He arched his back slightly, his hair fluttered messily in the night wind, his slender back looked so desolate and lonely in the night.

Gu Xiaofei walked over.Xiao Xuechen raised his head slightly when he heard footsteps.

"You can't sleep either?" Gu Xiaofei sat cross-legged beside Xiao Xuechen.

Xiao Xuechen didn't look at him, but stared at the sword on his lap, and gave a soft "hmm".

"I'm nervous. When I think about participating in the martial arts competition, even if it's just an amateur competition, I'm too nervous." Gu Xiaofei tilted his head and stared at Xiao Xuechen, "Are you nervous too?"

"Today you said that you would believe me no matter what, it reminded me of something from the past." Xiao Xuechen said softly.

Gu Xiaofei rested his chin, quietly waiting for him to speak.

"I used to trust someone without reservation, but..." Xiao Xuechen's fingers resting on the blade trembled slightly, and then pressed his chest, a faint wrinkle appeared between his brows, as if aroused something extremely painful memories.

After a few breaths, he turned to look at Gu Xiaofei: "Why do you trust me so much?"

"Uh... why else, you are a good person!"

"People's hearts are separated by belly, how do you know who is good and who is bad?"

"You saved me! You are my great benefactor! And you and Uncle Fang are very kind to me, and helped me when I was most difficult. I thank you before it's too late!"

"...The things we do are just a little effort, insignificant, I don't know you are so grateful."

Gu Xiaofei straightened his legs, supported his body with his arms back, and looked up at the night sky.Due to the neon lights of the city, few stars are visible at night, only the brightest ones are shining white.

"I am an orphan. If there is no orphanage, I am afraid I would have died in the wilderness. When I was young, I was in poor health and no one was willing to adopt me, so I have been living in the orphanage. I am so envious of those who have fathers in the school. My mother's children are also very envious of those children who are adopted by good people. I have nothing, so even if others treat me a little bit better, I will always remember it."

Just like a person who is dying of thirst, even a drop of water can save his life.

"You are grateful when others treat you well? What if a bad person pretends to be a good person to give you small favors, cheat your trust, and then treat you badly, or even use you to do bad things, what should you do?"

Xiao Xuechen thought that Gu Xiaofei would explain "I have nothing to take advantage of" or "I know you are not a bad person", but Gu Xiaofei didn't say these at all, but stared at him with emotion.

"Hero Xiao...are you worried that I will be cheated by bad guys?" Gu Xiaofei hugged him, "You are really a good person! Woooooo, you care so much about me, and you are worried that I will be cheated!"

——I didn't mean that!Xiao Xuechen thought in a panic.

Gu Xiaofei's arm was on his shoulder, like a clingy animal hanging on his body and refusing to let go. "I'm so stupid, I don't know how to read words and expressions. If there are really bad guys coming, I will definitely not be able to tell... Can you teach me more?"

Xiao Xuechen became even more flustered.If someone else said this, he would definitely think that the other party was deliberately getting close to him, or even teasing him.But it was Gu Xiaofei who was talking, such a pure and innocent boy, Xiao Xuechen was really not sure what he was thinking.

He gritted his teeth and pushed Gu Xiaofei away with difficulty: "There will be opportunities in the future, go back to sleep."

Gu Xiaofei got up and found that Xiao Xuechen had no intention of moving the nest, so he wondered, "Aren't you going to sleep with me?"

Gu Xiaofei noticed the ambiguity in the words as soon as the words came out, and his face turned red. "I, I, I, I didn't mean that! Don't get me wrong! I definitely didn't think that way! It was a slip of the tongue just now! I didn't want to sleep with you!...Damn it! I...that...I..."

"I see." Xiao Xuechen said weakly, propping his forehead.

Gu Xiaofei covered his face, Zi'er screamed strangely and ran back all the way.Xiao Xuechen was left sitting alone on the rooftop, hugging his shoulders in the night wind, lowering his head deeply, his hair falling on the blade of the sword on his knees, with only a pair of ears exposed.

And those ears are also bright red.
