rush to score

Liang Xi didn't know what else he could talk to Lu Mingchuan about.

He admitted that he made a mistake, and also said that he would not play bottom games in the future.Regardless of whether Lu Mingchuan believed it or not, he had already finished speaking.

If there must be anything else to say, it is long past time.

In the dark room, he stared in a daze at the glaring screen of his mobile phone, but in the end he couldn't hold back the little bit of self-esteem he had left, as well as the slightest element of anger.

Tap two words, don't talk.

Lu Mingchuan didn't reply for a long time, if Liang Xi didn't see him "in the process of inputting" and then stopped, and then "in the process of inputting", he would have thought that the person had been completely pissed off by him.

Yes, they are all adults, and adults should mature and learn to bear the consequences for their words and deeds.Lu Mingchuan is no longer that elder brother Mingchuan who yields to him in everything... No one is born to yield, Liang Xi understands that.

But he still can't help being in the world of adults, and occasionally commits willful old problems, just like standing up in class and telling the teacher that he wants to wander... Just as stubborn as that time, knowing that saying so will provoke people Not fast, but he still said so.

I don't know how long I waited, but Lu Mingchuan replied.

He asked Liang Xi if he still remembered the first time they met.

Liang Xi stared at that sentence and suddenly smiled.

He seriously typed a few words on the phone: "Then wait for me to take the initiative to talk to you."

"Yeah." A short reply.

The first time we met was when Liang Xi was eight years old. He participated in the fencing competition for the first time, the youngest children's group.

The game in this age group is basically not taken seriously.

The children couldn't hold their swords steadily, wore heavy helmets, and moved on the kendo like a flock of wobbly penguins.Liang Xi was one of this group of penguins. With the blood of Ultraman fighting monsters, he planned to win the next competition in one fell swoop and greet the applause of the audience.

However, it's like one of those few dream-shattering moments that everyone has in their childhood.

It was the first time I found out that there were toys in the toy store that my parents couldn't afford, the first time I found out that the superheroes I liked on TV were just fantasies, the first time... the first time I found out that I was not as powerful as I imagined, and I would get zero points lose the game.

That was the only time in Liang Xi's 18 years of life that he scored zero points in a match, and he was defeated by Lu Mingchuan's sword.

It was only later that he learned that Lu Mingchuan had been taught by the top coaches in the country since he was a child, and he was completely different from Liang Xi's club-style training at that time.

However, Xiao Liang Xi didn't know this at the time. When he was beaten six to zero, he couldn't hold back his tears. While sucking his nose, he raised his limp arm and tried to stab Lu Mingchuan, even if it was a sword. .

However, he couldn't even touch Lu Mingchuan's body, and the stabbing sword was avoided. At the same time, Lu Mingchuan took advantage of the opportunity to strike Liang Xi's chest with his sword.

The force was not too great, but Xiao Liangxi sat on the ground directly with the help of force, crying loudly.

Thinking about it now, I'm afraid not only the referee was frightened, but even Lu Mingchuan was frightened.The man took off his mask, walked in front of Liang Xi in a daze, and said slowly, "You...are you alright?"

Liang Xi glanced at the child in front of him through the mask. He was taller, stronger than him, and even looked more heroic than him—little Liang Xi cried even harder.

If Liang Xi was to recall the dark history of his childhood, then that match would definitely bear the brunt of it.This was the first time he was beaten and cried in a game, and then he gave up the game because he couldn't cry anymore.

In the end, Lu Mingchuan found a little boy sitting on the toilet lid crying out of breath in the cubicle of the men's toilet.

Lu Mingchuan later described his feelings to Liang Xi: It seemed that he had accidentally annoyed a ball of fluffy rabbits. The rabbit stared at him with red eyes and kicked its legs to run away.

"Why are you crying? Why can't you afford to lose so much?" Lu Mingchuan hurriedly grabbed the rabbit, and said without hesitation, while closing the door of the compartment with lightning speed.

Liang Xi cried even louder, causing the adults outside to knock on the door.

Lu Mingchuan covered his mouth: "Shhh - at worst, I'll just let you win it back. Don't cry, cry like a... like a little wife."

When Liang Xi heard that he had won back, she stopped crying, hiccupped loudly, stared at the little brother in front of her, and asked him, "Is it true? Do you mean what you say?"

"Forget it." Lu Mingchuan was decisive, and carefully removed his hand from Liang Xi's mouth, for fear that this crybaby would cry again.

"But, Mom said, you can't believe anything a stranger says."

It's tough, but it seems pretty easy to cheat.

Lu Mingchuan frowned, rolled his eyes, and stretched out his hand to Liang Xi: "My name is Lu Mingchuan, what's your name?"

"Niannian." Liang Xi gave him a nickname.

The word "Liang Xi" is too difficult to write. He always used his nickname when he was a child, in order to save a few strokes.

Lu Mingchuan nodded: "Niannian, we know each other, so that I am not a stranger, you can believe what I say."

"Then when will you let me win it back!" Liang Xi's eyes were shining brightly, and there was still a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. If it weren't for the red eyes, no one would have been able to tell that this little boy was crying like a few minutes ago. To get over it.

What Lu Mingchuan would tell him then was that if you want to win, come to me when you won't cry when you lose.

"Why?" Liang Xi asked him.

Perhaps in order to show the image of his big brother, Lu Mingchuan would answer very cautiously. He seemed to recall all the books he had read in his mind, and finally chose the most satisfactory sentence as his answer.

He said: "Because it is impossible for a person to win all the time in his life. Everyone makes mistakes. The key is to have the courage to face them. If you just hide here and cry, you will never stand on the podium in your life." superior."

"So, I want you to take the initiative to come to me and tell me that you have the courage to face today's failure."

At that time, there was light coming in from the side window, ignoring the embarrassment of the toilet cubicle, Liang Xi felt that the elder brother in front of him was really the most pleasing person in the world, because Lu Mingchuan could not only defeat him, but also Willing to teach him how to win back.

"Then wait until I take the initiative to come to you."

·

Liang Xi originally planned to wait for the wound to recover, and then find another opportunity to ask Lu Mingchuan to come out and talk alone.After all, despite the hidden feelings in his heart, the two are still childhood playmates after all, and Lu Mingchuan only learned about Bai Xuzhou's situation because of his affairs, so he gave 30 to Xiao Bai.

Now, for the 30 Liang Xi saved, he still has to thank Young Master Lu for his generosity.

The above arrangements are all in place, but I didn't expect that someone would disrupt the plan halfway.

That day when he went to the Yongfeng Club to borrow a venue for training, he met Xu Gaoyi again. He was still in Shu Yongfeng's office, and the man was lying on the leather sofa.

Liang Xi thought that he came to Shu Yongfeng for something, so he took the temporary form for renting the venue from the desk and was about to leave, but was stopped by that person.

"Senior, what's the matter?" Liang Xi stopped.

Xu Gaoyi's height was about the same as him, so such a stop was not imposing, but Liang Xi took a step back out of politeness, and nodded.

"Oh, it's the second time we met, why do you still look unfamiliar?" Xu Gaoyi's expression was lost for a moment, but he quickly chatted with him again, "Do you have time next Saturday?"

It's next Saturday again...

Liang Xi complained silently in his heart.

"Does the senior have any arrangements?"

"Next Saturday is my birthday."

According to Xu Gaoyi, he came to Yongfeng Club this time just to find Liang Xi and ask him if he would like to come to his birthday party.

Liang Xi was shocked by this proposal, how familiar did he have to be to invite a junior who had only met twice to his birthday party.

It felt like a fake gift.

He tactfully refused: "I don't know my senior's friends very well either, so it would be a little disturbing to go there so rashly..."

Xu Gaoyi waved his hand before he finished speaking: "No, birthday is second. I was mainly thinking that you are so good at swordsmanship, you should have been introduced to these brothers in the circle long ago."

"What do you mean?" Liang Xi heard the meaning in his words and frowned.

"Hey, you kid still insist on being told..." Xu Gaoyi put his head close to Liang Xi's ear mysteriously, "You play so well, don't you want to join the national team?"

Liang Xi was startled suddenly.

A wisp of smoke wafted from the door, Shu Yongfeng stepped into the office unhurriedly, heard Xu Gaoyi's words, and laughed loudly: "Oh, what a big deal, you two make it look like it's a secret!"

"Xizi, there will be a trial for the national team in the autumn, you can go to participate and show your face."

Liang Xi hesitated.

He tried his best to make his expression not so weird and guilty, but the incident of being caught in the underground game a few days ago still left a deep psychological shadow on him.Not to mention that in case his background needs to be investigated later, it is difficult for him to get over this hurdle.

Lu Mingchuan was right, he wanted to participate in international competitions, but it might be too ostentatious to go out to participate as a national team.

But... Which professional athlete has no expectations for the national team?

Seeing that Liang Xi didn't say anything for a long time, Xu Gaoyi thought that he was stunned by the sudden surprise, and quickly patted him on the shoulder: "It's nothing, why are you so nervous? It's just that you can go to the trials first, can you?" It’s another story to choose.”

"Why can't I choose..." Liang Xi stopped talking halfway, and he glared at Xu Gaoyi, "But senior, what does this have to do with your birthday party?"

Xu Gaoyi rubbed his chin: "To be honest, all the brothers in the team are still quite interested in you."

Just when Liang Xi was feeling puzzled, Xu Gaoyi blinked at him suddenly: "Our coach also knows that you and Lu Mingchuan 'dominated' the sword world a few years ago, and he also wants to meet you."

The olive branch thrown from the sky cannot be thrown away easily. When Liang Xi was holding the olive branch and thinking, Xu Gaoyi had already taken a picture of himself. According to him, it was just a meal together anyway, no big deal.

However, Liang Xi forgot to ask Lu Mingchuan if he would go.

After thinking about it, if I asked the other party that Lu Mingchuan would go, wouldn't I be able to say no?

According to the address Xu Gaoyi gave, Liang Xi took a taxi and sat in the co-pilot thinking wildly all the way.Thinking about whether Lu Mingchuan would pass, and wondering whether he would agree if he was appreciated by the national team... From Lu Mingchuan to the fencing competition, and then to Lu Mingchuan.

Lin Daiyu suddenly said in her head: "If I knew he was coming, I wouldn't have come."

Liang Xi was amused by the voice of a film and television that flooded into his head for no reason, and felt that the way he was thinking about it here was also a bit silly and amusing.

The bald man driving next to him looked at him out of the corner of his eye, and asked cheerfully, "Young man, what kind of fruit are you going to see? How happy are you?"

Liang Xi restrained his expression, shook his head and replied softly: "No."

If he really saw a girl, he wouldn't be so nervous.

Speaking of which, coming out of the closet at that time couldn't be counted as being for Lu Mingchuan alone.

Liang Xi just likes boys, this is an established fact, there would be other boys without Lu Mingchuan.In short, it was only a matter of time before he fell out with his family, so he might as well take advantage of the age at the beginning of the cross to be completely selfish and give himself a chance to live frankly.

He didn't think he had any regrets, just like he had liked Lu Mingchuan for so long, there was nothing worth regretting.

Liang Xi originally thought that when Xu Gaoyi said it was a meal, he really had a meal, and that he would book a hotel in which hotel, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at the destination, he found that it was a private club without a signboard.

A lot of cars were parked outside the clubhouse. It seemed that there should be quite a few people attending this so-called birthday party. Liang Xi frowned, feeling that something was a little unexpected.

Xu Gaoyi was waiting for them at the door, and when he saw Liang Xi coming, he quickly waved to him: "Here!"

It wasn't until he got closer that Liang Xi noticed that there was a talking boy around Xu Gaoyi. He also looked familiar. He should be an active member of the national team, and he often saw a face in the video during the game.

"Luo Mao." The man stretched out his hand towards him, his skin was bronze-colored, he looked tall and strong, with a neatly shaved head.

Liang Xi shook hands with him: "Liang Xi."

"I've heard brother Gao Yi mention you a long time ago. He said that you play very well and are very hopeful to become our teammate." Luo Mao raised his eyebrows, and Liang Xi realized that he even specially shaved his eyebrows.

"Don't dare."

"Don't be modest! I hate that group of people who flatter each other every day. What I just said didn't mean to flatter you." Luo Mao slapped Liang Xi on the shoulder, "I mean, we are free tonight. Passed."

It wasn't until he entered the clubhouse that Liang Xi realized that this private clubhouse might also be of a different kind.There are several winding stone roads, with green bamboo planted beside it, and a hall outside is a typical Chinese courtyard design, with mountains and water, it seems that the dishes here must be expensive.

It seems that Xu Gaoyi is also a person with a bit of family background. He not only invited brothers from his team this trip, but also a lot of young masters who Liang Xi couldn't tell their identities and only knew that their clothes were not cheap.

After Xu Gaoyi received him, he asked Luo Mao to take him in, and turned around to entertain other guests.

Liang Xi doesn't care who goes with him, but this Luo Mao is like a "fencing brain", his mind is full of competitions, and when chatting with him, he also wants to learn from each other.

"This place, I'm just under the credit of Brother Gao Yi." Luo Mao sighed, "It doesn't matter how good the scenery is, there is a big wine cellar on the bottom floor."

Liang Xi heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he was finally going to avoid the topic of discussing with himself.

"... If you want me to say, the people who built this wine cellar will enjoy it." Luo Mao chuckled twice, "Guess what's in the wine cellar? There's swordsmanship! We can go to fight after dinner. Gesture."

Liang Xi's head was filled with black lines, and he quickly changed the subject: "Well, where is our box? Or are you and I not in the same box?" There are several rooms on the side, and from Xu Gaoyi's appearance, they should all be booked.

"Why not one?" Luo Mao pointed to the one next to him, "Here we are, this is here, besides our team members, we also invited your old friends over, so you two can catch up with each other later."
