【Double Flower】Honeysuckle

Spring in K City has already arrived quietly, and the light yellow and crimson buds emerging from the branches of the street trees on both sides of the road are crowded together in the east wind, as if they can make a noisy noise.

In the lively spring, even the hearts of people walking on the road are soaked in light yellow and tender green around them, bright and soft, just like the color of love.

Therefore, when pedestrians saw the young man and woman passing by hand in hand, they would all smile kindly:

oh, spring.

Bathed in people's eyes of "I understand", the girl wearing a well-known brand-name lady's suit raised a pair of exquisitely drawn and thin eyebrows, and looked at the tall man holding her wrist and walking in front with a half-smile youth.

"Hey, you can let go. When will it be?"

Sun Zheping looked back at her, stopped, and gestured to stop the car: "I'll take you to the airport."

"No, no!" The girl shook off Sun Zheping's hand with all her strength, "I ran out after a lot of trouble, are you sending me back now?"

"My little aunt! Why don't you come here if you want to run away?" Sun Zheping closed his eyes and rubbed his frowning brows: "Are you satisfied that the disaster has been brought to me?"

"What are you calling me? It's impolite." The girl put her hips on her hips and gave Sun Zheping a white look: "My sister-in-law."

"Come on, Huo Jiaqi, you grew up under my watch. You little brat isn't even legally married yet, so you're still a sister-in-law." Sun Zheping flicked the girl on the forehead in disgust, and in exchange the girl patted the back of his hand. A firm slap on the face: "Didn't you have trouble with my brother again, even if you have trouble, don't run to me every time."

"But I've always run to you since I was at odds with your brother since I was a child. What if Sun Zhekang suddenly changes places this time and can't find me?" The girl patted Sun Zheping on the shoulder with a look of reason. , suddenly showed a smirk: "Just now in that small broken building, I was enough to give you face. After all, you are as beautiful as this king, and you don't want to rush to everyone. You can wait to be envied and hated when you go back, right? .”

Sun Zheping felt a headache when he thought of the repeated interrogation of his teammates when he returned home, but he still couldn't help feeling elated in the deepest part of his heart.But on the surface, he remained as still as a mountain after all, and said with a sullen face, "Hurry up and go back. I have a game tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so don't hinder me."

"Ah, then I want to be here to see your heroic demeanor!" Huo Jiaqi yelled, stretched out her arm, hooked Sun Zheping's neck and pulled it, almost knocking Sun Zheping down.She clapped her hands, laughed and jumped to the side: "Anyway, your father didn't know how angry you were when you didn't study in college and ran out to play games. If you behaved better in front of the king, maybe I can still do it when I go back." Say something nice for you. Why don’t you eat, live, and entertain King Ben well?” As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, turned her head to one side, and her fair pink cheeks bulged angrily. Get up: "Anyway, I won't go back until Sun Zhekang comes to pick me up!"

"Oh." Hearing this, Sun Zheping immediately took out the phone from his pocket, opened the lock screen, found the word "Sun Zhekang" in the phone book, and pressed the call button.Huo Jiaqi screamed strangely and rushed forward, pressed the red button to hang up, turned her head and glared at Sun Zheping angrily: "What are you doing?"

"Tell him to pick you up." As it should be, Sun Zheping pressed the call button on the screen again, and naturally, Huo Jiaqi rushed forward again and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Huo Jiaqi also pressed the lock screen button of Sun Zheping's phone: "I want him to find me by himself, so I don't want you to tell him, or I'll call him myself, and it's still necessary you?"

Sun Zheping shook his head, and Huo Jiaqi took his arm and pulled him forward: "Anyway, help me find a hotel first, and then, take me to have a good time in K City."

"Sister, I have a match tomorrow and the day after tomorrow..."

"Oh, then help me find a hotel and pack my luggage. Rimowa's limited edition this year, if it breaks, you will pay for it. By the way, your game will be at the New Asia Stadium tomorrow, right? Perform well and I can get tickets from scalpers." .”

"..."

After getting Huo Jiaqi settled down, he called his elder brother Sun Zhekang on the way. When Sun Zheping returned to the team building, it was already dinner time.Team members almost all went out in groups of three or four to solve food and clothing problems. The cramped small building seemed quiet and empty for a while, only the afterglow of the setting sun slanted in through the west window, giving the small building an old white and dark yellow color. The water-stained walls were coated with an orange halo.

Sun Zheping pushed open the door of the first training room, but saw that there was still a computer on, and there was another person buried in front of the screen, his slender, white fingers mechanically rising and falling on the keyboard.

As if he heard the sound of someone entering the door, and it seemed that another basic training was completed, Zhang Jiale raised his head, and his eyes were facing Sun Zheping who pushed the door and entered the room.

The gentle residual sunlight sprinkled on Sun Zheping's face, softening his originally hard and deep outline a lot.

"I'm home."

Zhang Jiale thought for a long time before opening his mouth, but his voice was hoarse, and it didn't sound like his own.

Sun Zheping nodded, took a few steps forward, pulled the chair next to Zhang Jiale and sat down: "I have something to do this afternoon."

"Oh..." Zhang Jiale lowered his head, his slightly long bangs covered half of his face.Against the light, Sun Zheping couldn't see his expression, but he knew it. With the last bit of strength in his bone marrow, he managed to pull out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Your girlfriend is very beautiful."

Sun Zheping was startled.

Huo Jiaqi is of course beautiful.

In every sense of the word, she is an admittedly undeniable beauty.

So when she appeared in the small building in the afternoon, under the sudden and amazed eyes of everyone, Sun Zheping made those seemingly kissable actions towards herself, Sun Zheping actually enjoyed it quite a bit, and even enjoyed being bathed in the envious and jealous eyes of her teammates. The feeling, so he responded as if adding fuel to the fire.

Huo Jiaqi was right, in front of everyone in the team this afternoon, he really felt that he had a lot of face.

However, facing Zhang Jiale, who had his head down and couldn't see his expression clearly, he couldn't open his mouth to respond no matter what.

From the corner of Zhang Jiale's mouth hooked under the bangs, it can be seen that he may be smiling, but his arched back in the sunset looks like a bowstring that is stretched to the extreme, and it will snap if you use more strength .

"That's not my girlfriend." After only three seconds of silence, Sun Zheping said, "It's just a child, I'm still single."

The three-second silence was actually very short, but this short pause fell on Zhang Jiale's ears, as if it was acquiescing, so that all the words Sun Zheping said afterwards seemed to be trying to cover up.

Making such an intimate gesture, but kept saying that he and her were just friends.

Zhang Jiale couldn't help smiling wryly.

Obviously it was hard to let go of the entanglement in my heart and face up to my heart, and I decided to muster up the courage to take a crucial step for my future, but at this moment I just learned that from the beginning, the object of my unrequited love Just a mistake.

Destiny seems to be happy to make some small jokes with him, and it goes round and round, never tired of it.

"Tomorrow is the game, hurry up and practice again." He raised his head and started the basic operation training of the 1048th level.The villain on the screen wobbled, fell from the top, and immediately jumped out of the "Do it again" button.

Sun Zheping sighed, "Let's have dinner first."

"I'm not hungry..." Zhang Jiale was about to refuse, but Sun Zheping said "I know it", and handed over a plastic bag: "I brought you some fresh flower cakes from outside, at least eat some."

Zhang Jiale couldn't tell whether it was sweet or bitter.He finally took the flower cake, lowered his head and took a bite, the sweet filling tasted bitter on the tip of his tongue: "Thank you."

"Which one of us is with whom, thank you." Sun Zheping straightened his chair, turned on the computer, grabbed Zhang Jiale's mouse, and exited the basic training software: "Don't just practice those useless things, let's play two sets, shall we? "

Zhang Jiale took another bite of the cake and said softly, "Okay."

On the second day, the match against Tyranny was held at the New Asia Stadium as scheduled.When they met again, Han Wenqing's face was still so dark, but compared to him, Zhang Jiale's face was as white as a piece of paper.

"The deputy team seems to be in a particularly bad mood today." At the beginning of the game, the players from both sides shook hands in a friendly manner. After stepping off the stage, Zhang Wei quietly whispered into Mo Chuchen's ear, "Chuchen, look at our deputy team and Han Wenqing on the opposite side. Standing together looks like black and white double evil hahaha."

Mo Chuchen gave Zhang Jiale a slightly worried look, but before he could say anything, Sun Zheping's displeased voice came from behind him: "What are you talking about? If you have time to prepare for the competition, don't ask others to give it to you like last week." Wipe your ass."

Looking back, seeing Sun Zheping's face as livid as Han Wenqing's, Zhang Wei hurriedly silenced, and looked at Mo Chuchen, only to get a sympathetic curl of his lips.

Sun Zheping looked at Zhang Jiale worriedly.He felt that he seemed to have said something wrong yesterday afternoon, but he couldn't respond to what details touched his sensitive nerves.

According to the usual practice, Zhang Jiale was still the first player in Team Hundred Blossoms' individual competition.Unlike before, after the start of the game, Zhang Jiale reversed the previous loose and elegant style of play, and won the first point of the game with a suppressive advantage that can be called indiscriminate bombing.

The audience who were familiar with Zhang Jiale's usual style were not without surprise.

"Ah, we can see that contestant Zhang Jiale seems to be in a bit of a strange state today. It seems... a little crazy? Did he suffer from something..." The commentator tried his best to suppress the "stimulation" that was about to pop out of his lips. He changed his words abruptly: "What other players were you inspired by? For example, we know that Baihua also has an ace player, Sun Zheping, whose style is crazy and fierce. It may be the mutual influence between close teammates that made Zhang Jiale The contestants also brought a little bit of Sun Zheping's style during the individual competition..."

However, throughout the entire match, no matter whether it was an individual match or a team match, Zhang Jiale seemed to be crazily overdrawn on fuel. His shots were ruthless and direct.

Without any suspense, in the end Team Hundred Blossoms defeated Tyranny with a total score of 8:2 and won a seat in the semi-finals of the playoffs, taking another solid step forward on their journey to the glory of the championship.

Zhang Jiale's sudden change in style in this game has attracted the attention of many people.But after the match, Zhang Jiale was absent from the press conference.In connection with Zhang Jiale's tired and pale face before the game, many people speculated whether his health was in serious condition, but Sun Zheping, who still had a dark face after winning the game, denied them one by one.

Sun Zheping didn't have much patience to deal with aggressive reporters, but now all he saw was Zhang Jiale's alienated expression and tired face, and he became more and more impatient.After finishing the press conference in a hurry, Sun Zheping turned around and ran towards the players' tunnel. Zhang Jiale leaned at the end of the tunnel and waited for his back to catch his eyes.

Sun Zheping breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to call him when a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, pulling him staggeringly——

"Sun Zheping!"

Huo Jiaqi's sweet and clear voice sounded like a bird's song.

Sun Zheping looked back, but saw Huo Jiaqi holding someone's hand, standing behind him and looking at him with a smile.

"You played really well, but I still like Zhang Jiale from your team!" Huo Jiaqi said in a serious manner, "Don't worry, you are actually very handsome, I will definitely praise you with Uncle Sun when I go back, and you don't have to do it again during the Chinese New Year." Just stay in your little crappy house and live in the big house!" After talking for a while, she seemed dissatisfied with the silence of the two people around her, so she pulled the hand of the man next to her with a disgusted expression on her face: "You are a dead man So? Say something? Your brother is much stronger than you!"

The tall man she held her arm patted Sun Zheping on the shoulder: "Come on."

"Thank you brother." Sun Zheping nodded to Sun Zhekang, "You are very fast."

"Okay, so you..." Huo Jiaqi seemed to understand something when she heard the words, and was about to explode, but Sun Zhekang grabbed her shoulders and led her outside: "Let's go back first."

Sun Zheping tilted his head and smiled, then walked out of the passage.Before he took two steps, he saw Zhang Jiale who was still standing there watching Sun Zhekang and Huo Jiaqi walking hand in hand and disappeared into the passage with a puzzled look on his face.

"Are you stupid?" Sun Zheping habitually reached out and rubbed Zhang Jiale's soft hair on top of Zhang Jiale's head, but Zhang Jiale didn't follow Sun Zheping around the room with braids as usual, but he was still as usual. The face couldn't react in time: "She...they..."

"what?"

"Isn't she... your girlfriend? Why today..."

Sun Zheping couldn't help but shudder at Zhang Jiale's head, and said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you yesterday that I'm still single? This is my brother's fiancee!"

Zhang Jiale's previously pale face turned bloody in an instant.He bit his lower lip, and lowered his eyelids not to let Sun Zheping see the hesitation and hope in his eyes: "But..."

"But what?" Sun Zheping laughed, "Think I kiss her? I treat you the same way? Could it be that we are also a couple? Oh, although there are differences between men and women, she has a rough temper like boys. There is no difference." While speaking, he stretched out his hand to pinch Zhang Jiale's cheek, and squeezed it up and down: "Hey, don't tell me, it feels good."

Zhang Jiale's heart that had just climbed out of the abyss fell to the bottom in an instant.

On the cheek is the temperature of his hand.His fingers were warm and slightly rough, and the warm and prickly friction was itching all the way from his cheeks to his heart.

However, the whole heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, so cold that it hurt to the bone.

Obviously he is so close to him, and he knows that he can still be a correct and real choice for him.

But he no longer wanted and dared not to rush towards that clump of flames easily because of this ray of light and heat.

Give a piece of candy, followed by endless entanglement and worrying about gains and losses, and then a painful scar.Such a cycle, again and again, but when the next candy comes, he can't help but embark on that cycle again.

Sun Zheping, Sun Zheping, what should I do with you?

Zhang Jiale gently held Sun Zheping's wrist, and pulled his hand off his cheek.

"Let's go back."

He turned around and walked slowly.
