rush to score

There was a "click" sound of the shutter, and Lu Mingchuan subconsciously covered half of his face with his hands, and turned to look at the source of the sound.

A little four eyes holding a heavy camera did not know when he was standing behind Lu Mingchuan, and was shooting from Lu Mingchuan's side to the stadium on the first floor. This angle just happened to be able to capture Liang Xi.Lu Mingchuan understood in his heart, and even thought up the headline for the next day's news for him, which was called "Dark horse burst out in club league, triggering alarm bells for talented seeded players".

But it is a pity that such a piece of news is about to die here.

"Delete the photo." Lu Mingchuan turned his head and stretched out his hand to the man, "Who told you to come here?"

Xiao Siyan was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth: "Why did you delete it? Miss Jiang told me that she has already greeted you."

Wei Chengyi, who was standing next door watching the play, let out a sneer. He pretended to put Lu Mingchuan on Lu Mingchuan's shoulder: "You girlfriend, you are quite worried about your career."

Lu Mingchuan frowned, didn't say any more, took the camera directly from the man, tapped the screen a few times to delete all the photos just now: "I didn't agree." He put the completely deleted camera back Returning to Xiao Siyan's hand, the other party hadn't fully reacted yet. He said "oh" twice, and felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a female voice coming from behind.

"Mingchuan, I asked someone from the club to take the photo." Jiang Xiajiao was wearing a sword suit, and because it was too hot, she opened the velcro at the neckline, and she fanned the wind with her hand, "If you don't want to send it out, you don't have to." Delete it, we can keep it for ourselves."

"I told you that I don't want to do these extra things. My task is just to play games, not to cooperate with your club's marketing." Lu Mingchuan disagreed.

Jiang Xiajiao hummed, walked to Lu Mingchuan and stood still: "Okay, I will listen to you this time."

Wei Chengyi dragged his cheeks and saw that the dispute between the two was over, so he asked with a smile: "How is Jiaojiao playing today?"

This is purely a matter of which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted. The venue for the girls' competition is the No. [-] training ground, but Lu Mingchuan has been nestling on the No. [-] training ground from the beginning until now.Jiang Xiajiao frowned, and said with a smile, "No matter how well I play, no one will watch." Her gaze followed Lu Mingchuan, and landed on Liang Xi, her gaze was deep.

In the center of the field, Liang Xi finished the game against Huang Mao 4:0.

Huangmao's strategy is effective. He has adopted a method of strictly guarding against defense and ignoring offense.

Although this method gave up the chance to score, it also added a lot of difficulty to Liang Xi's scoring. In the end, it took 4 minutes to run out, and Liang Xi did not hit all five swords.

This kind of situation is very common in foil competitions. After all, foil competitions are known as the most "gritty" among the three types of swords.Foil has the smallest effective area, and at the same time faces complex rules and a large number of detailed technical movements, which requires extremely high levels of athletes.

Jiang Xiajiao reached out to the photographer behind her: "Lend me the camera." After finishing speaking, she took the camera and adjusted the telephoto to use it as a telescope, aiming at Liang Xi downstairs.

Lu Mingchuan watched her fingers press the shutter button twice, his gaze turned sharp, and he scolded, "Jiang Xiajiao, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing?" Jiang Xiajiao is not tall, but her imposing manner is not weak. She put the camera into Lu Mingchuan's hand, "Why, can't you take a picture of your brother? I think he is handsome?"

"I don't want to quarrel with you outside." Lu Mingchuan did not show any emotion, took the camera in his hand, opened it, and skillfully deleted the photo taken by Jiang Xiajiao again, "Go back and tell me if you have anything to do, don't make trouble here." His With a warning in his tone, he handed the camera back to the photographer.

Wei Chengyi couldn't stand it anymore, he dragged Xiao Siyan and said that the two of them went outside to buy water, which saved the innocent camera from being constantly deleted.

"Okay, there are only two of us left now." Jiang Xiajiao stood next to Lu Mingchuan, imitating his movements and looking down with her head propped up. Her eyes fell on Liang Xi who was drinking water in the rest area.

The schedule is divided into morning and afternoon. After the group round robin match in the morning, the points will be calculated according to the results, and the knockout match will be carried out according to the points in the afternoon.

During the two-hour lunch break, Bai Xuzhou bought a meal replacement sandwich and handed it to Liang Xi.The two of them found a place to sit shoulder to shoulder in the rest area by the wall. They were talking about something while eating. Liang Xi had a slight smile on his face and nodded his head from time to time.

Lu Mingchuan held the drink bottle in his hand, straightened up, and turned to Jiang Xiajiao: "Let's go out to eat."

Jiang Xiajiao was unmoved, and she pointed her finger in Liang Xi's direction: "Is he the one you like?" "Jiang Xiajiao!" Lu Mingchuan suppressed his anger, "Is there something agitated, you have to be nervous ?”

"He is very handsome, and his sword moves are also very good." Jiang Xiajiao still refused to take her eyes off Liang Xi, "I want to have a real fight with him later, you go and tell him."

Lu Mingchuan stared fixedly at the girl who was one year older than him in front of him. He didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he sneered and said, "It's up to you. If you want to hit you, you can say it yourself."

Liang Xi didn't know anything about what happened on the second floor, and after a short rest, the corridors of the sword hall gradually became lively.The match list has already been posted and hung on the wall outside.

Bai Xuzhou ran two quick steps, and jumped in front of Liang Xi: "Brother! You are ranked first in points, and you have a bye in the first round. You will directly advance to the top 32!"

Liang Xi had a hearty fight just now, and he was in a good mood: "There is nothing to be happy about being able to advance to the top 32. You sit down and rest for a while, don't run around, it makes me dizzy."

Bai Xuzhou smiled and sat down beside Liang Xi.

In the afternoon, the warm sunlight from outside poured into the sword hall through the glass windows, and fell on the silver-gray metal sword path, reflecting a thin layer of light.

Liang Xi has always felt that Bopin's afternoon has a special smell, like the smell produced by repeated rubbing of dry turpentine. It is light and lingering, and people can only think of some good things.

His leg injury has healed, and he is determined to stay away from the underground competition. From now on, he will show his edge to the world's sword circles as a native of C country. He will still be surrounded by everyone and become the most eye-catching in the finals just like today. Focus.

The opponents in the club league were really not enough to look at in front of Liang Xi. When he finally won the gold medal in this league with a score of 15:7, the audience burst into applause.Liang Xi took off his helmet and sword and held it in his hands. He greeted the audience with a smile on his face.

His opponent was the captain of the fencing team of a key university. He was not dissatisfied with Liang Xi's victory, so he shook hands with Liang Xi sincerely: "You are really good."

When the awards were presented, Bai Xuzhou didn't know where he brought a bouquet of flowers, but he just stuffed them into Liang Xi's hands, which made Liang Xi feel a little at a loss holding the gold medal and flowers.Walking off the stage, Liang Xi rarely blushed and stuffed the bouquet back into Bai Xuzhou's hands, and said in a low voice, "You also need to send flowers in this kind of amateur competition. I think you just want me to be laughed at."

Bai Xuzhou tugged at his arm and laughed loudly: "Brother, if you want, I'll give you a bouquet when you participate in a competition, and I'll give you a bouquet when you participate in a competition..."

"Liang Xi, wait!"

Suddenly a female voice came from behind, Liang Xi turned around, facing the strange face in a daze: "Hello?"

The girl who ran over was about 1.6 meters five, wearing a competition suit, her ponytail was tied up high, and the tail of her hair was dyed brown red.She looks pretty, with double eyelids, big eyes, fair skin, and looks well maintained.

"Hi, I'm Lu Mingchuan's girlfriend, and my name is Jiang Xiajiao."

Liang Xi thought about the scene of meeting Lu Mingchuan's girlfriend many times. He even practiced smiling in front of the mirror in the bathroom before he set off today, just because he was afraid that when faced with such an embarrassing scene, he would feel dissatisfied and angry. Jealousy will show itself.

But when such a girl appeared in front of him, Liang Xi let go of the stone in his heart. It must be a lie to say that there was no disturbance, but he was not as close to the enemy as he imagined—he knew that Lu Mingchuan was with others. We are together, aren't we?Just seeing it with my own eyes now.

Liang Xi showed a polite smile, and stretched out his hand to her: "Miss Jiang, hello."

Jiang Xiajiao didn't respond to his outstretched hand, instead she walked up to him and told Liang Xi, "I want to play a game with you."

"Today's competition is over." Bai Xuzhou stopped in front of Liang Xi, and he took the helmet and sword from Liang Xi's hands, "And Miss Jiang is a girl, there is no such thing as boys and girls playing games."

"There is definitely no regular competition, but I think if it's a private practice, it shouldn't be a big problem." Jiang Xiajiao ignored Bai Xuzhou's words, still staring at Liang Xi who was standing beside him, as if she insisted on waiting from him. Give an affirmative answer, "Just now, Ming Chuan and I watched your game on the second floor. It was really great. I also hope to use Ming Chuan's face to compete with you."

"Discussion..." Liang Xi murmured, as if he was chewing over the meaning of these two words.

After the awards were presented, the contestants packed up their things and left the sword hall. There were only a few people left in the audience to organize their things, and a few cleaners came in with mops to clean up the venue.

Familiar footsteps sounded, and each sound was very clear.

Liang Xi raised his head and met Lu Mingchuan's face, he was momentarily at a loss for words.Afterwards, after Lu Mingchuan called out his name, Liang Xi's heart suddenly rose up with an unknown fire. He took his own sword from Bai Xuzhou's hand and gripped the hilt tightly.

The eyes of the two intertwined in the air. If the occasion wasn't right, Liang Xi wanted to ask Lu Mingchuan what his girlfriend meant.

Liang Xi voluntarily gave up, and did not intend to disturb Lu Mingchuan's personal feelings anymore, but now it seems that this is not something he can decide unilaterally.

Lu Mingchuan took the lead to look away: "It's up to you whether to call or not. If you're tired, go home and rest."

Before Liang Xi could speak, Bai Xuzhou moved first. He stepped forward and bumped into Lu Mingchuan's shoulder and asked, "Lu Mingchuan, what do you mean?"

The person who was hit just took a step back, didn't speak, and didn't react to Bai Xuzhou's rude gesture.

"Fuck, Lu Mingchuan, I'm warning you, it was you..."

"Let's fight." Liang Xi stretched out his hand to grab Bai Xuzhou, and pulled him back, "Xiao Bai, go and watch." He re-zipped his protective clothing and metal clothing, and carefully pasted the buttons.

"Miss Jiang, can you let your boyfriend act as a referee temporarily?" Liang Xi asked seriously, with such a sincere expression that Jiang Xiajiao doubted her own judgment for a moment.

However, she has clearly seen a separate category in Lu Mingchuan's photo album, the name only has the simple word "Niannian". In the photos, Liang Xi was a milk dumpling until he grew up, and there was even him in the photo. A few from abroad.

Even the photos that Jiang Xiajiao herself sent to Lu Mingchuan didn't have this treatment, besides, she clearly remembered some things that Lu Mingchuan confessed to her before...

"Yes." Jiang Xiajiao collected herself and replied, "We will only fight five swords, so we won't waste your time."

Liang Xi nodded.

The moment Lu Mingchuan called out the start, Liang Xi began to move quickly - he didn't intend to save face for Jiang Xiajiao, aside from the fact that she was a girl, it was Jiang Xiajiao who challenged him first.

Recalling what Lu Mingchuan once said in his mind, he said: "If you still think about these messes on the field, you deserve to lose, every year."

Well, since it was Lu Mingchuan's own words, Liang Xi decided to implement them in front of him.

His attack was pressing every step of the way, and he shot cleanly without any hesitation, nor did he show the slightest sympathy.With the first sword, Liang Xi stabbed Jiang Xiajiao's chest impartially, making a muffled sound. It seemed that the stab was very solid, but everyone who learns swords knows that the part from the chest to the stomach is the only place where the guard is inside the clothes. Where it is blocked, stabbing in this position can minimize the pain of being stabbed.

Although Liang Xi didn't like Jiang Xiajiao at all, he didn't plan to beat a girl hard on the field.

Jiang Xiajiao was not intimidated by Liang Xi's attack speed, on the contrary, she became more cautious standing in front of the starting line.Lu Mingchuan standardly raised his right hand to symbolize Liang Xi's score, and finally called out the start of the next sword.

From the beginning to the end, Lu Mingchuan's face did not change in any way, as if his role in this game was really just an outsider.What Liang Xi couldn't get used to the most was Lu Mingchuan's attitude, vague and vague, no matter what happened, he would always act as if it had nothing to do with him.

When she was a child, Liang Xi tentatively asked Lu Mingchuan for the first time, telling him that she might not like a girl.At that time, like now, Lu Mingchuan asked Liang Xi calmly and calmly, asking him why he had such an idea.

"If I liked a boy, would you hate me?" Liang Xi asked cautiously.

Lu Mingchuan pondered for a while, then replied, "From a scientific point of view, it is possible to like the same sex."

"What about brother? Could you possibly like boys?"

"I do not know."

It's the same now, Lu Mingchuan stood there as if he was an outsider, as if Jiang Xiajiao insisted on playing against Liang Xi just because of the skill competition, but everyone present knew that it was because of Lu Mingchuan that Jiang Xiajiao came to find fault with Liang Xi ...

However, Liang Xi was not willing to suffer this grievance.

"drop--"

"drop--"

With two swords and single lights in succession, Liang Xi's sword tip always landed on Jiang Xiajiao's chest, and the deviation from the first sword was not even more than one knuckle.

However, Jiang Xiajiao is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. She seized every opportunity to stab Liang Xi, even if Liang Xi blocked her to an invalid position, she would still drop the tip of her sword.

On the upper arms and thighs, Jiang Xiajiao slashed at these positions that had no guards and were not valid points. Although they didn't score any points, they still hurt a lot.Jiang Xiajiao even slashed at the mask next to the ear, causing Liang Xi's ears to ring.

Why!Obviously I did nothing wrong.

Liang Xi frowned, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed more and more, his steps became faster and faster, the tip of his sword slashed in the air, and kept fighting with Jiang Xiajiao's sword, he pressed on every step until Jiang Xiajiao was pushed to the yellow Warning area... As long as Jiang Xiajiao's feet are outside the last warning line, she will lose points.

This situation is not just as simple as losing points, but admitting that you are no match for the opponent's offense, and you are even forced to leave the field.

Jiang Xiajiao obviously realized this too. The moment she caught sight of the yellow line under her feet, she suddenly stopped, keeping one foot on the line while the other foot had withdrawn from the kendo. Shengsheng took Liang Xi's sword and attacked.

Then, Liang Xi's speed and strength were completely beyond her imagination. Almost instantly, she felt a force falling on her chest. She leaned back suddenly, but fell directly due to the unstable posture of her legs Out of the field!

There was a loud noise when the adult fell to the ground, accompanied by the "beep" of the referee, and everyone present did not react.

Bai Xuzhou stood up from the ground next to him, and watched Jiang Xiajiao fall out of the field in surprise, while Lu Mingchuan seemed to be stunned for a second.

Liang Xi reacted very quickly. He quickly pulled his center of gravity back, and then walked outside the venue step by step, and helped Jiang Xiajiao up from the ground where the rubber blanket was laid, without saying a word during the period.

"You..." Before Jiang Xiajiao could react, she looked straight at Lu Mingchuan who was standing next to the sword path. However, Lu Mingchuan's daze lasted for less than a second, and then he turned his gaze to the referee.

Jiang Xiajiao's lights are colored lights, and Liang Xi's lights are also colored lights. This proves that both sides have stabbed each other's effective parts, but Liang Xi's side is obviously the attacker... The result is obvious, and the attacker should score.

Liang Xi quietly stood on the starting line, looked at Lu Mingchuan, and suddenly sighed: "Let's count her defensive score."

But Lu Mingchuan shook his head: "She wants to fight herself. If she loses or wins, she will take care of it. I don't want to cut the black sword."

"Attack stab, score." He raised his hand indicating Liang Xi's side to score, "Now the score is 4:0, both sides return to the starting line, ready for actual combat..."

"I won't fight anymore." Jiang Xiajiao threw the helmet on the ground, untied her hands and ran out.
