Xu Shanlan

Xie Liang couldn't refuse the principal's order, so he beckoned to call his first disciple.Everyone came here to adapt to the venue, and they all brought some competition equipment. The two of them simply changed their clothes and got ready for activities.

I heard that there was excitement to watch, and all the surrounding sports schools came over, even the contestants on the other side of the routine rushed to join in the fun.Seeing Xu Shanlan and his opponent bouncing on the stage doing warm-up exercises, Gu Haiping couldn't help but his blood boiled, his eyes lit up, he clenched a fist with one hand and punched hard on the palm of the other, saying: "Hey!"

Cong Zhanyi carefully observed the opponent's punching situation, and whispered in Xu Shanlan's ear.Xu Shanlan nodded frequently, and Cong Zhanyi put on his gloves and said, "Go."

Xu Shanlan stepped onto the stage and saluted the other party, the surroundings immediately became quiet, and all eyes were on the two of them.Xu Shanlan was suffocating in his heart. Three years ago, when he was young, he half-understood some things. When he thought about it later, he realized what the elder brother had missed because of him.The strange thing is that Xu Shanlan is not very grateful to Cong Zhanyi, maybe it is a bit hypocritical to talk about this kind of mentality after too long a time gap; maybe Cong Zhanyi has been doing well in recent years, at least it has not affected his future; maybe he Deep down in his heart, he always felt that Cong Zhanyi should do this for him, and Xu Shanlan would do the same thing if he were him.Xu Shanlan was just angry about this incident. He always thought that sports competitions should be fair and clean, and should reflect the level of strength in all aspects. It turned out not to be so, so why all these years of hard work?

Xu Shanlan was a little reconciled. For the sake of his elder brother and himself, he made up his mind to give the other party a good look here, let them know, let everyone know that private schools are not easy to bully, and the last time he abstained was not a problem. Strength is just a last resort.

In Cong Zhanyi's view, Xu Shanlan's move was a little impulsive, at least immature.In fact, what if you win?His mind is no longer here, or in other words, if it were changed to today, he would never be as determined to leave no way out as he did back then, when he was still too young.But Cong Zhanyi would not stop Xu Shanlan, he knew what that kid was thinking, it was revenge for him.Cong Zhanyi felt a little hot in his heart, as if a small fire had been ignited, which made his whole body warm.He folded his arms, stood aside casually, and didn't give Xu Shanlan much advice.The calm appearance even made Gu Haiping a little anxious, and pushed Cong Zhanyi: "Hey, can you do it?"

Cong Zhanyi said slowly: "Let's see and talk."

Gu Haiping frowned: "What's this called? You're sitting on the Diaoyutai."

Cong Zhanyi smiled and didn't answer.

In fact, from the match between that person and Xu Shanlan, Cong Zhanyi could see that his little junior brother was sure to win this time.The two were not on the same level at all. The man's footsteps were weak and his punches were powerful but sloppy. Maybe because the leader and coach were there, he was still a little nervous. It seemed that he didn't have much experience in competitions.On the other hand, Xu Shanlan, no matter how he moves, the aura is there first.This kid took his opponent for granted, punched fast and hard, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, the blade was shining with snow, and he didn't even want to let the opponent get off the field.

At the beginning, the two were just probing, punching each other and kicking each other, looking for the other's gap.Principal Liu is a layman, only seeing his team members attacking frequently, he thought it was a good thing, and smiled brightly with his hands behind his back.Xie Liang frowned and stared at Xu Shanlan closely. This kid is agile but has a calm demeanor. It is obvious that he is bound to win.Xie Liang sighed secretly in his heart, the matter has come to this point, let's take one step at a time.You can't blame him either, they are all only children now, but whoever is willing to send their children to practice sports if they are capable parents?How bitter and tired?The child is also delicate, and he can't be beaten or scolded, and he yells when he suffers a little bit. It's not like when he practiced kung fu when he was a child, the coach's stick was discounted several times, and he had to grit his teeth and stand upright, even crying.

Xie Liang's team members attacked again and again, Xu Shanlan took a few steps back, and the athletes applauded one after another. Only the coaches saw some clues, and refused to express their opinions easily, occasionally chatting with their own team members. This is a rare way to grasp the opponent's strength No one wants to let go of an opportunity.

Seeing that Xu Shanlan dodges more than fights back, the opponent gradually became more courageous, let go of his hands and feet and prepared to hit hard, trying to hit a punch.The speed of the two of them increased at the same time, and the combination of punches and legs was dazzling.

Gu Haiping was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat and clenched his fists.Cong Zhanyi folded his hands on his chest and remained silent.On the field, Xu Shanlan entangled with his opponent, punching and punching, refusing to give in to each other.Xie Liang temporarily acted as the referee, counted to three, and stepped forward to separate the two.

Xu Shanlan and his opponent glared at each other, and the state of each other was mobilized.The opponent swooped forward and hit Xu Shanlan with two backhand straight punches. Xu Shanlan dodged to dodge and flew back to fight back.The other party was eager for success, and a negligence revealed a flaw in his chest.Without hesitation, Xu Shanlan attacked decisively, and hit the opponent's head with several heavy punches. These few blows were so fierce that the opponent quickly raised his arms to protect his head and face, and was about to fight back. At this moment, Xu Shanlan let out a yell , a high-whip kick with a strength of more than a thousand catties was as fast as thunder, and it kicked the opponent's chest firmly.

This clean and neat posture was extremely beautiful, the man was kicked a long way, fell heavily to the ground, and did not get up for a long time.

There was an exclamation of "ah" from all around, and Xie Liang rushed forward, untied the team member's chest protector, and shouted: "Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, does your chest hurt?"

The man was dizzy from the fall, and finally understood the coach's words, moved slightly, and waved his hands lightly.Only then did the people around feel relieved and turned to look at Xu Shanlan.Xu Shanlan stood quietly, tall and straight, with sharp eyes, like a sword out of its scabbard, looking at Principal Liu, who had an extremely ugly face, and said word by word: "Accepted."

There was silence around, no one cheered or applauded, but the way they looked at Xu Shanlan had changed, as if they had just noticed this young man who seemed a little shy at first glance.

Principal Liu forced a smile and said, "Xiao Cong, the children you brought out are not bad."

Cong Zhanyi smiled slightly and said, "This is my junior brother."

"Haha, heroes come out of youth, haha, good, good." After all, Principal Liu is someone who has seen the world, and when he smiled, his expression turned around, and he stepped forward to pat Cong Zhanyi on the shoulder, "We have time to get together, let's get together." Let's go first." Ignoring Xie Liang's master and apprentice, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

Only then did the others disperse, whispering to each other, looking back at Xu Shanlan from time to time, and then at Cong Zhanyi. It seemed that Xu Shanlan was already regarded as the most important opponent for winning the championship.Gu Haiping was very excited, and gave Xu Shanlan a thumbs up: "Okay, Lanzi, I haven't seen any success for a few years, I have the ability!"

Xu Shanlan had no color on his face, and just said: "It's okay." With a bit of indifference and casualness after winning, he carried his luggage and went to change clothes.

Gu Haiping looked at Xu Shanlan's back, and sighed with emotion: "It's really not easy to grow up."

When I grow up, I will no longer follow closely behind me, adoring and relying on calling me brother.For a moment, Cong Zhanyi couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, some bitter, some sweet, some melancholy, some joyful, and suddenly he really wanted to press that young man down hard, so that his eyes and heart would be full. It's me, it's still all me.

Cong Zhanyi took a deep breath, temporarily put aside the weird thoughts in his mind, and pretended to ask Gu Haiping casually: "I heard that someone always calls you recently?"

Gu Haiping was startled: "How do you know?" He waved his hand, "It's nothing, just a psychopath."

"Do you need to investigate?"

"Hey, what are you investigating?" Gu Haiping put the jacket he had taken off on his shoulders.He is also an apprentice in the jungle, but he can't learn the rigid rules. He does everything with a casual and chic look, with one hand in his trouser pocket: "Speaking of which, you know each other."

"Know?" Cong Zhanyi asked puzzled.

Gu Haiping sneered: ""The Elder with Arms", do you still remember? When I was a child, I watched an outdoor movie, and you said that the leading actor was good at it."

Cong Zhanyi thought about it for a while, but his impression was very vague: "What's wrong?"

"It's the male protagonist, who is the boss of some company now. Oh, by the way, he was a deputy three years ago." Gu Haiping picked up a stone and threw it away, "I said that the first time we met, I was familiar with it. Dare I feel old?" We've known each other before."

"What is he looking for with you?"

"Let me be an actor." Gu Haiping couldn't help laughing when he thought about it, "Let me be an actor, can you imagine?"

Unexpectedly, Cong Zhanyi pondered for a while, and said seriously: "This way out is not bad."

"Pull it down." Gu Haiping snorted, "I won't do it, just play around like a monkey for people to watch?"

"Second Senior Brother, don't you really like it?" Xu Shanlan who interjected was actually coming back to find them after changing clothes, "When I was young, you insisted on dragging me to exhibit in front of the martial arts school students, what's the point of 'applause'! I feel like playing a monkey, but you are very happy."

"Fuck you, what are you talking about!" Gu Haiping chased him and hit him, Xu Shanlan laughed and ran away, Cong Zhanyi couldn't help but smile.

Cong Zhanyi went to Principal Liu's invitation in the evening, and brought Xu Shanlan with him.Principal Liu was also very happy that they were able to come, as well as several other principals of the sports school, plus some referees who had a good relationship.This is Chinese characteristics. You hate it, but you still have to deal with it. If you don’t deal with it, you will suffer.It can be said that the place that can determine whether you win the championship is not on the field, but here.

This was the first time Xu Shanlan attended such an occasion, and it was also the last time.He saw people on the wine table drinking dry white wine glass after glass of water, seeing them blushing and talking inexplicably and illogically, and seeing them patting their chests like a hero, drinking happily, turning around and immediately going to the bathroom to vomit It's dark...

Xu Shanlan was the only sober person at the wine table, and even Cong Zhanyi was slightly tipsy.It is precisely because we are sober that we can see these things clearly.No one likes to do it, but it has to.He saw everyone's bravery, everyone's helplessness, and everyone's unspeakable feelings.

Xu Shanlan understands why the big brother came back so late every day, this is the reality, as long as you live in this society, you cannot avoid these things.Xu Shanlan was never a prince in an ivory tower, and Cong Zhanyi didn't want him to be like that either.Xu Shanlan has been exposed to ugly things, although very limited, such as bribery, such as handicap, such as now... That's why Xu Shanlan can understand the elder brother more deeply.

Without experience, without tolerance and consideration, even love is pale and powerless.

It is precisely because such ordinary happiness is the result of such hard work that it needs to be cherished all the more.

Finally, Xu Shanlan saw Principal Liu coming to Cong Zhanyi with a glass of wine. At this time, everyone on the wine table had already made a "single toast" in twos and threes.Principal Liu patted Cong Zhanyi on the shoulder: "Brother." He blushed and hiccupped, "Brother, I admire you." Principal Liu said while giving a thumbs up, and said sincerely, "I admire you." You are a real man, courageous and responsible."

Cong Zhanyi smiled faintly: "Principal Liu is too generous."

"No, no." Headmaster Liu wobbled with his big belly, he couldn't stand still, and his eyes were blurred, "I know what you think of me, I know. I did something disgraceful, your father said so Yes, I don’t have Wude… Wude.” Principal Liu smiled strangely, as if he was crying, “But what can I do, my brother. The bureau gave me a task, three, three gold medals, my brother, You have to get it all. If you don’t take it, you won’t allocate funds to our school, and the prize money will be wasted...My brother, I really can’t help it, I can’t help it...” After speaking, his voice choked up.

Cong Zhanyi and Xu Shanlan were relatively silent, and Principal Liu slid into the chair all at once, resting his palms on his forehead, and began to cry.
