rush to score

Peng Jianxiu was surprised by Liang Xi's self-recommendation, and his surprised eyes swept back and forth between Liang Xi and Lu Mingchuan, seeing that Lu Mingchuan only frowned but did not open his mouth to refute, so he nodded in agreement.

"Then the main players this time are Luo Mao, Lu Simiao, and Liang Xi, and Pan Rui will be the substitute." He finally made a decision.

In the following training, the atmosphere became a little weird.

Everyone seemed to have subtle expressions because of Liang Xi's sudden "grab for a seat". Boys in their twenties are not good at hiding their emotions, and even Lu Simiao, who usually talks the most, quieted down.

Fortunately, this time it was technical training, and there was not much need for communication. It was just boring and simple two-person cooperation, repeating some technical movements.

Liang Xi didn't explain his sudden behavior to anyone. Under Peng Jianxiu's probing eyes, he finished the whole training in silence.

The weather turned cooler, but the rain still favored the city. The training ended at three o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky was as gloomy and gray as the evening.The canopy of the sycamore trees beside the road was shaken by the strong wind, and the dragonflies flew low, heralding the coming heavy rain.

This kind of weather is most suitable to go home and lie down on the bed, but Liang Xi dragged his tired body and stood under the bus stop sign.

"Liang Xi." Someone behind him called his name, "Don't you take the subway back today?"

Looking back in surprise, Liang Xi met Pan Rui's face.

This is an ordinary face, which is difficult to be noticed in a crowd.His body is thin enough to make people feel a little too thin, and he is considered short even among fencers.

Liang Xi hadn't watched much of Pan Rui's games, but being picked into the team by Peng Jianxiu, even as a substitute, was enough to show that the opponent was strong.

He nodded politely: "I have something else to do today."

"Do you want to take 386?" Pan Rui glanced at the stop sign.

"Ah."

The man pursed his lips and smiled, the corners of his mouth curled up as introverted as he himself: "Coincidentally, me too."

Bus No. 386 went directly to Po No. [-] Hospital. Although Bujinweituo had been checked during his hospitalization, he took another plane. Just to be on the safe side, Liang Xi decided to have another checkup.

Athletes have always cherished their bodies, and Liang Xi naturally did the same, but even so, he had to win the spot in the practice match with country F - Lu Mingchuan's shoulder was seriously injured, and he needed ten stitches , the thread was not removed, how could Liang Xi be willing to let him play.

Lu Mingchuan's injury was caused by him. Even if he didn't mention it, Liang Xi thought about it over and over again for several nights, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt the pain.

A thunderclap pierced the sky, and the people waiting for the bus at the bus station all looked up worriedly. Fortunately, the 386 drove into the station slowly before the heavy rain fell.

There were not many people in the car, Liang Xi and Pan Rui sat side by side at the back.

The distance between the car seats is very subtle, not close at all, but if two people who know each other are sitting together, at such a distance, it is always awkward not to say anything.

Neither of them is a talkative person, and Pan Rui was really quiet during training. Liang Xisi thought about searching for topics in his mind, but he didn't expect Pan Rui to take the lead.

"You...why do you have to play against country F today?" Pan Rui's eyes hesitated, his words were blurred in the sound of rain, his eyes were not focused on Liang Xi, and the question was clearly a gossip Question, but Liang Xi didn't feel any irony from his tone.

Almost instantly, Liang Xi knew what Pan Rui was thinking.

Outsiders didn't know what happened to them in Bujinwito, and Liang Xi's sudden cutting of the beard was full of gunpowder in the eyes of everyone.

There had long been rumors that there was some friction between him and Lu Mingchuan. The two were of the same age, and both studied under Shu Yongfeng when they were young, sharing the title of genius player.Since the two met when they were eight years old, the fencing world has always placed high hopes on them. Whether it is a respected old coach or a player of the same age, no one does not know them.

Liang Xi was stunned for a while, then kicked the ball back: "Why do you think it is?"

"..."

Pan Rui didn't answer quickly, he turned his head back stiffly like a wind-up puppet.

Sitting behind the two of them was a pair of aunts who had just returned from the vegetable market, complaining loudly that the current vegetable prices were outrageously high.

Liang Xi listened for a while, lost interest, and was just about to close his eyes to rest, when he heard Pan Rui speak, and he said, "I know you also want the vacant spot for the main election, and so do I, but sometimes I try too hard." On the contrary, it will leave a bad impression on people.”

Hearing these words from Pan Rui, who had always been taciturn, Liang Xi was surprised. He turned to look at the man's expression, only to find that Pan Rui had turned his head to look at the window, leaving Liang Xi with the back of his head. Tapping on the legs rhythmically, as if thinking.

Pan Rui said that it will be a long time before Lu Simiao retires, and what Liang Xi is doing now makes him feel a bit boring.

"I didn't expect you to be so restless." Pan Rui's tone was lighter than before, "But from my experience, there is nothing wrong with waiting patiently. After all, as long as you have enough time, your Competitors will always show their feet."

"You're right." He turned back, pursing his lips and showing a shy smile, "Of course, the competitor I'm referring to is Lu Mingchuan."

·

The autumn rain came and went quickly. The day the team members from country F arrived in Boping, the sky was as clear as blue.

As the host, the team treats guests and takes a group of blond and blue-eyed foreign guys to eat Chinese food.This kind of game is usually in the name of friendship, and the meals are bland meals that are most suitable for athletes. Apart from the high price, there is nothing to look forward to.

Liang Xi and Lu Mingchuan sat far apart. To be honest, Liang Xi originally thought that he would quarrel with Lu Mingchuan for a while, but he didn't expect that person to cooperate suddenly after the quarrel in the hospital that day.

Cooperating with Liang Xi to play alienation tricks.

Unexpectedly, the coach of the country F men's team is a hot and beautiful woman with big curly hair and red lips.

Liang Xi recognized her. A few years ago, she was quite famous in the women's competition, not only because of her beauty, but also because her sword fighting style was very different from her own, ruthless and fierce. Eight years ago In the Olympic arena, a beautiful sword swing surprised the audience.

Female contestants have always been dubbed as weak in strength and weak in physical fitness. Sword throwing, which requires extremely high strength, is rarely seen in women's competitions, but Yi Lianna did it.

The team brought out by such a strange woman must not be an idle generation.

The fact is also the same. In the competitions in recent years, the most powerful competitor of country A is country F, and even country F is even better in the men's flower event.

Peng Jianxiu and Yi Lianna seemed to have known each other before, even though they were using broken English, the two still had a good conversation. During this time, Yi Lianna's eyes swept over Liang Xi and Lu Mingchuan, and finally she slapped her head suddenly: " I haven't seen these two handsome guys before, are they the new players you recruited this year?"

"Yes." Peng Jianxiu was relatively close to Liang Xi, and he put his arm around Liang Xi's shoulder, "This kid just came back from country A, and his English is pretty good. When the game is over, if you want to go out to play, you must let him be your tour guide."

These remarks are more of a joke, after all, no one who is good-looking will ask a national team member to accompany him.

Liang Xi laughed twice, but didn't answer, but suddenly heard a sentence from the opposite table: "Beauty!"

His voice was in jerky Chinese with a strange tone. He raised his eyes in surprise and saw a blond Germanic man staring at him.

"Hey, Bono..." Yi Lianna seemed to be too helpless for her team member, she looked at Liang Xi's flushed face again, and apologized for him, "This is our newcomer this year, the competition You played well, but you talk too much." She smiled and shook her head.

"Why do you talk too much!" The blond man named Bo Nuo laughed wantonly, maybe it's a genetic problem of Caucasian race, he is obviously not much taller than Liang Xi, but he looks quite strong, "A beauty is just beautiful people."

He winked at Liang Xi: "Little beauty, I regret that I didn't ask you for a face-to-face gift when I came in." Bo Nuo's tone was exaggerated, and the expressions on the faces of the team members in country C couldn't hold back up.

What could be more irritating than being molested as a woman by a rival right from the start?

But at this kind of dinner, everyone couldn't refute anything because of their sympathy. Even Peng Jianxiu just laughed a few times, pretending that he didn't understand Bo Nuo's nonsense.

"..."

Liang Xi felt his fist itch a little, he knew that he was born innocent, but this didn't mean that his opponent could use his appearance to humiliate him.

Yes, this is a humiliation to Liang Xi, like being whistled by a hooligan on the street!

The captain of Country F came out to smooth things over: "Bo Nuo, you have to learn to do as the Romans do when you go to someone else's place." The implication is that his team members said this because of different customs.

However, the arrogant blond boy did not restrain himself. He simply pulled away Lu Simiao who was beside Liang Xi, switched places with him, and put his arm around Liang Xi's shoulder: "Hey, don't get me wrong, in our country , beauty can be used to compliment people of any gender."

Liang Xi frowned, just about to speak...

"Put your hands down."

A voice filled with restrained anger sounded from across the table. Lu Mingchuan stood up from his chair expressionlessly, glanced at Bo Nuo, and repeated what he had just said.

"Put it down, now."

Standing up from the dining table with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, this coercion is absolute.The atmosphere at the scene, which was still within the controllable range, suddenly dropped to freezing point. Luo Mao stretched out his hand and tugged Lu Mingchuan twice, trying to make him sit down and calm down, but Lu Mingchuan ignored everything. Nuo looked like a lion whose territory had been violated.

"In our country, your current behavior is called harassment. Don't act wild here just because you know a few beautiful foreign words. Look where it is."
