unrivaled gymnastics

Late at night, in a dark alley, a thin and small man squinted his eyes, looking at the shadow in front of him.

The man looks about 50 to [-] years old, with a thin body, a hunched back, and a sad face, like a person who has been unhappy all year round, but his eyes are as sharp as night owls.When he stood alone in the dark alley, he looked like an old owl crouching on a treetop.

"I don't know you before, why are you blocking my way?"

Hei Ying smiled softly, hearing the voice was that of a young man. "Zheng Hong of the Zheng family in Huizhou?"

"Exactly. Dare I ask your Excellency Gao's name?"

"You don't have to know."

"It's a basic etiquette for people from all over the world to exchange names when meeting each other. Don't you even have this bit of courtesy?"

"I didn't come to you to be polite."

The young man slowly pulled out the long sword behind his back.The moonlight is bright tonight, but there is no reflection on the blade of the sword. The whole thing is pitch black, like a piece of black sandalwood.

Zheng Hong laughed hoarsely.Even his laugh was hoarse and eerie as an owl. "I don't know what deep hatred I have with Your Excellency? Even if you want to kill me, let me be a fool?"

"You don't have to know," said the young man.

"I, Zheng Hong, entered the rivers and lakes at the age of 16. I have been in my thirties so far. There are countless people who have committed crimes. I am afraid that those who want to take the head of this item can't be counted with two hands. But so far, this head has been treated well. It's on the neck. I don't know if you have the ability to take it away."

After Zheng Hong finished speaking, he raised his hands, and two surges of yin and cold true energy gathered on his palms, which was exactly Zheng Hong's housekeeping skill "Cold Palm".

The young man raised his black sword. "You...don't need to know."

A gust of wind suddenly rises, and the shadows cover the moon.

Not far away, a group of late returning college students walked over with laughter.

"Going back so late today, the door of the dormitory building must have been closed long ago, and I will be scolded by the dormitory again."

"If you scold, just scold, can you shut us out and not let us in?"

"Hey, look, is there someone down there in front?"

"Hey, uncle, are you okay? Wait, it must be Pengci, right? You can take a video to prove that we didn't bump into him..."

The college students surrounded the skinny man who fell on the ground, and found in a panic that a pool of dark viscous liquid was gradually spreading under the man's body.No one raised their heads, so no one noticed that a black figure passed over their heads, stepped on the eaves and fences by the roadside, and rushed away into the distance.

"Hero Xiao, what's the matter with your dark circles? Are you insomnia?"

Gu Xiaofei looked at Xiao Xuechen who was sitting silently in the living room, and asked with concern.

Of course Xiao Xuechen didn't sleep well.Gu Xiaofei, Qi Chong and others played outside until late at night and came back in the early hours of the morning.Xiao Xuechen didn't close his eyes all the time, his heart was hanging in the air, until he heard the voice of Gu Xiaofei entering the door, his heart fell to the ground.He didn't know what Gu Xiaofei and his friends had fun with, but it must have been interesting, because when Gu Xiaofei was with them, he looked so happy, which made Xiao Xuechen extremely complicated.

Gu Xiaofei is an independent person, of course he has the right to choose his friends.Seeing that he has made close friends, and even turned fights into friendship with his opponents, I should be happy for him, but Xiao Xuechen just can't feel at ease, for fear...for fear that Gu Xiaofei will be snatched away.

Gu Xiaofei is not an item, does not belong to anyone, in principle there is no problem of "being snatched away", but Xiao Xuechen just hopes that even if Gu Xiaofei has the most intimate friend, he will still...still treat himself as...

Not as a simple friend, but as someone special.

Thinking about these, Xiao Xuechen stayed up all night.It seems that ever since he met Gu Xiaofei, he has often tossed and turned about this young man.

The weather was naturally bad the next day.What made Xiao Xuechen even more speechless was that Gu Xiaofei didn't realize what the reason for his insomnia was, and he still looked carefree.

"You must be suffering from insomnia because you are too nervous about the game. It's okay, everyone is nervous! You go to rest for a while, and I'll make breakfast!" Gu Xiaofei patted Xiao Xuechen on the shoulder, as if writing on his face, "Everything is covered by me." On the body" is like a line.

Xiao Xuechen sighed.Gu Xiaofei's ignorance of worldly affairs sometimes seems innocent and cute, but sometimes...it is so annoying.

When Gu Xiaofei agreed, he put on an apron and walked into the kitchen.For breakfast, there are only a few things to eat. His cooking skills are limited, and he can't make any flowers. He can only do his best and try not to make dark dishes.He picked up a carrot, looked around, and couldn't help but recall the scene of Xiao Xuechen flying a knife in the kitchen yesterday.

Xiao Xuechen is good at using swords, but he didn't expect to be so good at using kitchen knives. Maybe this is called learning by analogy?

Gu Xiaofei imitated Xiao Xuechen's appearance of carrying a knife, placed the carrots on the cutting board, first tied a gorgeous knife, and then quickly cut it.But no matter how hard he tried, the shredded radishes he cut out were always big and small, and his knife skills were not a bit worse than Xiao Xuechen's.

Xiao Xuechen was startled when he heard the sound of him chopping chopping boards frantically in the kitchen, and hurried over quickly.

"what happened?"

Gu Xiaofei wiped the sweat from his forehead, and threw the kitchen knife on the cooking table in frustration. "I wanted to learn how you cut vegetables, but I couldn't cut them well no matter what."

Although his knife skills were not very good before, but now he is learning to walk in Handan, it is even worse.

Xiao Xuechen couldn't help but laugh. "I'll teach you." He walked behind Gu Xiaofei, stuffed the kitchen knife into Gu Xiaofei's hand, held Gu Xiaofei's wrist, and gently waved the kitchen knife up and down.

"When cutting vegetables, don't use your wrists alone, it will be very tiring, but use your strength from your shoulders. The principle is somewhat similar to the swordsmanship of the Lingxu sect, like this..."

His breath brushed against his ears, Gu Xiaofei couldn't help being hot all over, and his face was blushing.He didn't listen to the techniques Xiao Xuechen taught at all, he just felt that he was surrounded by Xiao Xuechen's deep and pleasant voice, as if shrouded in the warm sunshine of spring, his whole body was crisp.

He couldn't help leaning back, his back pressed against Xiao Xuechen's chest, and there was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.The posture of the two of them now was as if Xiao Xuechen was holding him in his arms.

How he wished that time could stop at this moment and let this moment last forever.

Xiao Xuechen was shocked suddenly, and pushed him away rudely.

Gu Xiaofei let out an "ouch" and supported the cooking table in time so as not to fall.

"What's wrong with you, Xiao Xia? Why don't you continue talking?"

Gu Xiaofei turned his head.Xiao Xuechen took two or three steps back, his eyes widened slightly, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.Gu Xiaofei looked at himself, then at the cooking table, trying to think about it, but he didn't understand what Xiao Xuechen was frightened about.

"Hero Xiao?"

Xiao Xuechen retreated all the way to the kitchen door, holding on to the door frame, barely supporting his body.

"I... go to the bathroom. You cook first."

After saying these words, Xiao Xuechen stumbled and ran to the bathroom.

Gu Xiaofei touched his chin.Was it internal urgency?Daxia Xiao is also true, it is such a fuss to go to the toilet.

Xiao Xuechen rushed into the bathroom, quickly locked the door, turned on the tap and washed his face indiscriminately.Then turned around and locked the door from the inside to prevent Gu Xiaofei from accidentally entering.

He couldn't believe it... he couldn't believe this was happening... he wondered if there was something wrong with him.

It's just an ordinary guide to knife work, but when he and Gu Xiaofei are close together...

He was actually hard.

***

Xiao Xuechen didn't talk to Gu Xiaofei all morning, immersed in his own small world, if Gu Xiaofei took the initiative to talk to him, he simply hummed a few perfunctory words, and then excused that he was too tired and didn't want to spend more time talking.Gu Xiaofei didn't have a heart, and he believed it when he heard what he said.

Of course, the game continued.This day, the match between Gu Xiaofei and Xiao Xuechen happened to be at about the same time.If they win this game, the two will advance to the group finals at the same time.Fang Xinhe couldn't take care of both, so he had to ask Shi Mantao to come out again.Now that he already knew that Gu Xiaofei was backed by a big boss like Qi Chong, there was no need to worry about any rumors.

Shi Mantao changed her face again today, her hair was tightly tied into a bun, she looked like a stern dean, which was daunting.At the gym, an unexpected figure awaits them.

"Uncle Policeman! I haven't seen you for a long time! Hey, it seems like it's only been a few days, but I always feel that you have been missing for a long time!" Gu Xiaofei greeted Gu Xuyang cheerfully, and then found that Gu Xuyang had brought several colleagues with him. Pretty gloomy.

Shi Mantao observed the atmosphere and said with a smile: "Isn't this Xiao Gu? It seems that you didn't come to watch the game. Could it be that something happened here?"

Gu Xuyang looked at Shi Mantao, then at Gu Xiaofei, his tense expression relaxed. "A good news or a bad news, which one do you listen to first?"

Shi Mantao said: "Naturally, I listen to the bad news first. After listening to the bad news, I can at least make up for my mood by listening to the good news."

Gu Xuyang gave instructions to the policeman beside him, who immediately took out the recording pen and started recording.

"Xiao Fei, where were you from 11:30 to [-]:[-] last night?"

Gu Xiaofei blinked in confusion.Gu Xuyang asked him what he was doing?This posture... is just like the classic police interrogation scene on TV!Does Gu Xuyang regard him as a suspect?

"I'm having dinner with someone... what's wrong?" he asked timidly.

Shi Mantao said: "We, Officer Gu, are asking for your alibi. It seems that something serious happened between 11:30 and [-]:[-] last night?"

Gu Xuyang did not answer Shi Mantao's question, but continued to ask Gu Xiaofei: "Dinning so late? Who did you eat with? Can anyone prove it?"

"And Qi Chong, Chen Haokong, and Zhuge Tong. They can all prove it for me."

Gu Xuyang nodded, and then whispered a few words to the policeman in charge of recording. Gu Xiaofei only heard a few sporadic words of "verification" and "monitoring".

"What's the matter? Uncle policeman, don't scare me..."

"Don't be afraid, it's just a process. If you are innocent, the law will give you justice."

"...I'm even more scared when you say that." Gu Xiaofei shivered.

"Senior Zheng Hong was attacked last night and was seriously injured. He is still lying in the hospital. As the police, of course we have to visit and investigate everyone's relatives."

"Zheng Hong..." Gu Xiaofei recalled the name, "Ah, he is my opponent today!"

Gu Xuyang said: "That's right. Because he was injured and hospitalized, he couldn't participate in the competition, so it means you won without a fight. This is the good news I want to tell you."

Shi Mantao frowned: "This is not good news. Zheng Hong's injury is of great benefit to Xiao Fei. According to the general logic of the police, the person who benefits the most is the most likely suspect. You clearly regard Xiao Fei as a candidate for the murderer." gone."
