happy to hear

When I went to school the next day, Zheng Xiaoxin called him from his seat early in the morning: "The man was really imprisoned yesterday, and I asked about it later."

Le Yang sat down and rubbed his temples, which still hurt a little. Yesterday he came out of the bar too late, and the quick-frozen dumplings were all melted and sticky, and he lost his appetite just looking at them.He didn't eat anything, he went to bed after drinking a glass of milk, and he didn't feel hungry when he woke up in the morning. Then he saw Zheng Xiaoxin eating a pineapple bun, and suddenly he had an appetite, so he broke half of it from his hand.

Zheng Xiaoxin looked at the only bagel left with his own saliva on it, "Damn it!"

Le Yang felt much better in his stomach after eating, "Which shift did you say that person was in yesterday?"

"Who? Guan Jin or Cao Yi?"

"Cao Yi."

"Class seven, the one on the side of the corridor, Si Xudong is in his class." Si Xudong is also a special student, and he is familiar with Zheng Xiaoxin, and has played with Le Yang, so they have a good relationship.

Le Yang nodded, and asked again: "How did he write that Yi?"

"How do I know? I've been listening to you all the time. I guess it's mostly perseverance."

"Is that so?" Le Yang asked suspiciously. He had seen the name on the ranking list too many times, so there was no reason why he didn't know how to write it.Obviously it's easy and easy, no matter how wrong you are, you can't go wrong with perseverance.

After the third day's results, Le Yang's score was the worst in history, it was horrible, Zhang Yuehua caught him in the corridor, since it was not a formal test, she just said a few words to him symbolically, telling him to quickly accept it Heart, No. [-] middle school is not easy to enter, and it is even more difficult to win if you enter. There are many masters, and if you don't pay attention, you will be trampled under your feet. They are all for their own future, and no one will let you.

Le Yang responded with a playful smile, suddenly thinking about Cao Yi, "Mr. Zhang, which one is Cao Yi's Yi?"

"Why, I haven't fought with anyone for so long, and now I don't even remember their name." Zhang Yuehua teased him, "It's easy, I'm in Class [-] now, or I'll transfer you there too."

Le Yang had a chill, "Forget it, I'm afraid I'll lose my fighting spirit if we stay together for a long time."

"Promise." She raised her hand resentfully, pretending to hit him, "Don't make excuses with me, now you are on the same starting line, you will not turn over within a year, waiting to be cleaned up by your grandpa Bar."

Thinking of his grandfather's face that looked useless to anyone, Le Yang was instantly terrified.

His grandfather's family is a scholarly family. Someone in the previous generation was a great Confucianist in the Republic of China and taught in the Peking University. His grandfather himself also went abroad to study when he was young. After returning, he taught in a top university in China. Now retired, he has been awarded an honorary professor, and occasionally goes back to give lectures to students, but it is rare now. The old man is becoming more and more uncomfortable with the impetuous style of study and loose discipline in modern universities. After being crushed by those in power, the literati didn't know how to hold back their wrists, but instead bowed their knees and flattered them.

He originally wanted two daughters to inherit his mantle, but one went into business and the other only taught in a small high school. Neither of them grew up as he expected.The youngest daughter is okay, no matter how bad she is, she is still a cultural worker. As for the eldest daughter, thinking of the outrageous things she did back then, the old man still wakes up in anger when she sleeps in the middle of the night.

Le Yang often couldn't understand his grandfather's attitude towards him, sometimes he was gentle and kind, telling him various principles of life, and sometimes he was indifferent and distant, looking at him as if he was looking at something unclean.Fortunately, the special family environment forced Le Yang to mature earlier than other children of the same age. To his grandfather's uncertain attitude, he has gone from contradictory resentment at the beginning to understanding with kindness now. He is gentle, Because he is his only grandson, he is indifferent, because his surname is Le, and his father Le Weiqiao is a well-known gangster in the local area. He abducted his daughter more than ten years ago, and finally died in a fight. Despicable, not even worthy of death.

"Your grandfather will be strong all his life, and he will never admit defeat. It's a pity that neither your mother nor I can make him look good. The past two years are probably because he is getting older, resigned to his fate, and is no longer so rigid. But that incident back then was a thorn in his heart after all, and it is impossible to completely remove it, so you have to fight hard, Le Yang, and only when you fight hard will he forget those things and forgive your mother and you." Zhang Yuehua has been very concerned about Le Yang's grades because of this. She kept saying some things over and over again. If she said too much, the child didn't want to listen. She also felt annoying, but if she didn't say it, she was afraid that he would forget it.

This is a family scandal, a grievance of the previous generation, but now he is asked to bear it by a child. Sometimes I can't bear to think about it. The dropped hand finally stroked his hair gently, "Let you surpass him!" Not for anything else, just to prove to your grandfather that you are self-motivated and that you are different from your father."

It proves that he is different from his father, everyone is saying that, but no one tells him what kind of person his father is, except that he is an irresponsible bastard, Le Yang knows nothing about it, No one took the initiative to mention this to him. This person was a minefield for his grandfather and a taboo for his mother.If the previous Cao Yi was an imaginary enemy, then his father was Ares in Greek mythology. Cao Yi lived in his imagination of being unwilling to be the queen, while his father fought in his illusory dignity.

This is Le Yang's real opponent. He has never seen him, but he is so strong that he is everywhere.

At noon, he went to the cafeteria to eat, and met Mr. Watch, who was unsurprisingly alone, sitting silently by the rightmost window.There was a thick book on the table, and it looked like it had just come out of the library.

"Hi." Le Yang sat down opposite him with a meal and greeted him.

The man looked up at him, then looked around, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, there are so many empty seats, why do you have to squeeze with me.But he should also know that in a place like the cafeteria, people can sit wherever they want, as long as they don't sit on your lunch box, you don't care. He reluctantly greeted him and continued to eat with his head bowed.

"You don't know me anymore, my name is Le Yang, from Class [-], the one who asked you to borrow your watch for the last exam."

Le Yang thought that this time he would be ignored like last time, but since he has the courage to sit down in this seat, it means that he has already made full mental preparations, come on, hit whatever you want, I still want to know What's your name now.

"Remember." The man nodded while picking out the green peppers in the dish.

I actually remember!Le Yang was flattered again, and hurriedly asked, "Then what's your name, classmate? Thank you for what happened last time, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Looking at his later grades, even with a watch know what to do.

"Cao Yi, from class seven."

"Oh." Le Yang uttered a syllable that was neither salty nor bland, bowed his head and ate the meal, looking for something to say: "You don't eat green peppers?"

"Uncooked." Cao Yi said.

"The food in the cafeteria is like this. They only want food and clothing, not quality." Le Yang wanted to continue on this topic, but the other party didn't continue.

Le Yang was speechless, he somewhat understood why Cao Yi, a bastard, was more famous than this good student.

He noticed that the book on his desk was an original work in a foreign language, and the author's name alone was a long string, Le Yang memorized it for a while but couldn't remember it.

"Let's go first." Here, Cao Yi had finished eating, Le Yang thought he was going to put away his things before coming to pick up books, but he put away the bowls and chopsticks and went straight out of the cafeteria.

Send it to him later. He dragged the book and flipped through a few pages. It was all in English. nothing.

"Student, I'm sorry, this book is mine." A small boy with pimples all over his face stood beside him.

Le Yang returned the book with black lines all over his head.

After a period of time, Cao Yi's sense of presence gradually became less strong because he had just entered school and there were few exams. Le Yang became the class monitor, and while he was busy with class affairs every day, he also had to take care of the student union. If Zheng Xiaoxin hadn't reminded him that he saw Cao Yi playing on the playground alone after school one day, he would have almost forgotten about him.

Le Yang told Zheng Xiaoxin about the matter. This person is a typical second-guess, "Let me just say, playing music and playing with people at the same time can only be done by doing it. Even the gangsters are worthy."

"..."

Zhang Weihua came back less and less during this period. Le Yang lived alone in a big house. Every day after school, he either went home directly, or went to the playground with Zheng Xiaoxin. He practiced with the team, and he played or did other things on the side. thing.Hearing from Zheng Xiaoxin that Cao Yi would come to play occasionally, he went a little more often than before.

After waiting like this for almost a week, one evening, Cao Yi really took the ball into the playground, alone, and went to a basketball hoop that was farther away.Le Yang stood up, patted his buttocks, pretended to be casual, and went up to say hello, "What a coincidence, you come to play too."

Cao Yi made a layup, the ball went through the net, bounced on the ground and was caught by Le Yang. He thought he had taken his position and said "Sorry."

The basketball spun a few times on his fingers, Le Yang kept smiling, trying to look sincere, "Compare."

After the initial surprise, Cao Yi nodded in agreement.

If the head is not enough, then the limbs will make up for it.Although Le Yang is not a professional, he has followed Zheng Xiaoxin in the wind and rain for the past few years. If he is ten points, then he is at least seven points, which should be more than enough to deal with Cao Yi.

In the first round, Le Yang attacked Cao Yishou.After the first jump shot was intercepted, Le Yang knew that he had underestimated him. Not only did this person react extremely fast, but his physical fitness was even higher than him. He tried to change several angles, but he couldn't throw the ball. Seeing the landing after the third take-off, the opponent was approaching, and the quick action of grabbing the ball made him dazzled.He could only throw the ball hastily, the result is predictable, he didn't even touch the edge of the basket, Le Yang was very annoyed.

In the second round, Le Yang defended Cao and easily attacked.Judging from the previous round, Le Yang has almost figured out his movements, not to mention the essentials, he can probably see a little bit of strength and speed. He turned his frustration into motivation, and insisted on relying on his good jumping ability to force the opponent Had to give up the advantage of close-range shooting and switch to long-range attack.There was no white line drawn on the ground, and Le Yang visually judged that he was already beyond the three-point line when he shot.The ball flew through the air, Le Yang blocked it, and felt that his fingers had touched a point, but this point was too weak in front of the excessive flying force, he circled around the basket for a few times, and finally scored.

"It was a good fight." Cao Yi said.Le Yang was about to cry after hearing this, brother, are you praising someone? You are obviously bullying!

But looking at his sincere expression and friendly tone, he probably didn't mean to anger him on purpose. To such a person, Le Yang couldn't get angry even if he wanted to.

Cao Yi shook his head, "It's just for interest."

His hair has grown a lot, it is no longer the green look when we first met him, there are tiny beads of sweat on the tip of his hair, if his back is not facing the setting sun, today's setting sun is particularly bright, happy Yang should be invisible.

"Let's make friends." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Le Yang himself was taken aback. He had never said such words, which seemed reasonable and slightly frivolous.

"I'm leaving first, and we'll play together again when we have a chance." Cao Yi didn't say yes or no, he carried his schoolbag and left. Liu Leyang stood there alone. After standing there for not long, he went back dejectedly. .Seeing him coming back here, Zheng Xiaoxin hurriedly asked, "How is it? How does it compare to you?"

"Kill a few streets in seconds!" Le Yang threw the ball directly into his arms, "I say me."

"Great!" Zheng Xiaoxin pulled him, "You know him well, go and ask me if he can join the basketball team. We are going to play next month and we still need a guard."

Before Le Yang could roll his eyes, he said again: "If he doesn't want to be a defender, he can also be a center forward. I'll change it with you."

"..."

"Which of your eyes can see that we are familiar."

"We've known each other since junior high school. You can call them unfamiliar. Don't abandon the overall situation for your own selfishness."

"Don't you dislike him?"

"Whether you like it or not is one thing, but whether you can use it or not is another. I, Zheng Xiaoxin, have always distinguished between public and private. Anyway, I don't want to talk too much when playing basketball, as long as I can cooperate."

"Let's talk about it." Le Yang suffered serious injuries this time, from his brain to his limbs, "It's useless if you don't want to come, maybe they like to play with themselves."

In the first monthly exam after this, Le Yang took seventh, Cao Yi fourth, a difference of [-] points, Le Yang was covered in arrows all over his body, he vomited blood, it was the first time he knew that life was still so difficult .

Zheng Xiaoxin kept whispering in his ear, you know him well, you let him come, let him come, come...

Le Yang was pressured internally and externally, and in a hurry, he flipped the table over. Cao, I'm going to fight you to the death!Not only do I want to surpass you in grades and beat you in basketball, but I also want to be friends with you, make up for your flaws in character with my sound personality, and then completely defeat you with my rich spiritual world!

Zheng Xiaoxin said, "Okay, okay, just let him come to the game, there is no need to be friends, this person is not with us, we can't get along."

"What do you know? Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle, and Cao Yi is not a god. I don't believe that I, Le Yang, will not be able to defeat him in my lifetime!"

Zheng Xiaoxin's liver shuddered when he heard that. The last time he saw Le Yang showing such eyes was when he was in elementary school. At that time, there was a male student who developed earlier in the class. He was taller and stronger than other children of the same age, and he kept laughing at Le Yang. Yang has a father who is a gangster, and Le Yang avoids it if he can't afford it, but he is still bullied in various ways.At that time, he swore that when he became stronger in the future, he would bully him back with all his principal and interest.However, because the child was too poor and too stupid, he stopped studying very early and went back to collect the trash with his family. Le Yang's self-esteem did not allow him to bully a weak person in his eyes. Let it go.

However, Zheng Xiaoxin feels that this matter is far from over. Cao Yi is a copy of the runny-nosed, dirty kid back then. Le Yang's passion finally has a goal now. , There is also a faint worry, Cao Yi is no different from that person, he can't see anything on the outside, but maybe it's because of his appearance that he can't distinguish between emotions and anger, so his mind is heavier than ordinary people.Seeing that he always walks alone, I don't know how to form such a cold personality. If it is not born, a stunned young man like Le Yang will probably suffer a lot from him.

Fortunately, he is not stupid, he knows that retreat is the only way to advance, and as friends, just be friends. Zheng Xiaoxin felt that he would never be able to make any losses by being friends with others, so he ignored it. fire.
