Yin Guo didn't understand at first.
After pondering for a few seconds, I understand. In fact, it is half-understood, after all, Lin Yiyang spoke very cryptically.
Lin Yiyang stretched out his right hand and asked her to give him the bag of coffee beans, Yin Guo to him, the beans, and his hand. He took the paper bag and threw it into the drawer without letting go.
When Lin Yiyang tugged her, what she thought was, no, I haven't brushed my teeth yet.
"Your coffee seems to be able to turn off the fire." She made excuses, trying to avoid him.
"This pot is not well boiled," he whispered, "throw it away in a moment."
Yin Guo is still struggling, no, I still have to brush my teeth.
She shook her head, dodging again.
The two people at the beginning were still subtly shy, so it was not easy to say to him, wait for me to brush my teeth first. Lin Yiyang saw Yin Guo's tangled expression thoroughly.
He turned his head to look into her eyes: "Repent?"
The bathroom door was suddenly opened.
Wu Wei came out for a sleepy stroll, and saw such a scene: Lin Yiyang glanced at himself uncomfortably, turned off the fire, and was waiting for the expensive pot of coffee to cool down. Yin Guo was leaning against the bar, a step away from Lin Yiyang, staring at the empty bar table in a daze.
Wu Weit wanted to poke his head over to see if their legs were touching under the bar.
By the way, let me recall, before I called last night, where did Lin Yiyang go
Lin Yiyang pushed the drawer back with his legs, and his voice was quite loud, reminding Wu Wei to put it away as soon as it was good.
Wu Wei coughed and rubbed his neck: "Good morning."
Yin Guo looked up and smiled friendly.
"I didn't disturb you yesterday, did I? My sister called." Wu Wei said.
She shook her head: "I didn't hear a few words."
"It's Lin Lin, have you heard of it? He also plays nine-ball."
"I've heard," she said, "I have a competition in Hangzhou at the end of April, maybe I can meet her as a referee."
Lin Lin, a senior in women's nine-ball, has always been ranked among the top in the world. In a certain year, she won three major championships in a row. After fulfilling her wish, she directly announced her retirement and retired as a referee behind the scenes. It was said that the main reason for his retirement was Lin Lin's poor health.
Yin Guo spread his thoughts...
Could it be that the relationship between Lin Lin and Lin Yiyang is extraordinary
"Did your brother mention her all these years?" Lin Yiyang asked suddenly.
Fearing that Yin Guo would misunderstand him, he had no choice but to betray Meng Xiaodong.
This way of thinking jumped too much, and Yin Guo was stunned for a few seconds: "Is my brother familiar with her?"
"It's not just familiarity." Wu Wei saw that Lin Yiyang had already said it, and he didn't have to hide it anymore. "Lin Lin has been chasing your brother for many years."
Yin Guo looked bewildered.
"Lin Lin is... your sister?" She remembered Wu Weigang saying that.
"It's just for fun," Wu Wei said, "but the relationship is the same as that of a real sister."
Lin Yiyang explained: "When Wu Wei was a child, he was good at studying and was cowardly. He was often blocked by hooligans at the school gate and beat him. Lin Lin always protected him, and Wu Wei always regarded her as his own sister."
"She protects Meng Xiaodong with her life." Wu Wei lifted up half of his sleeves and pointed to the position of his back shoulder, "Lin Lin has a tattoo here, which was left by a hooligan when he offended someone for your brother when he was sixteen years old." Scars, she thinks ugly tattoos."
What kind of gossip is this
"My brother really didn't mention a single word." She tried hard to recall the two people, but there was no intersection at all.
Lin Yiyang and Wu Wei looked at each other.
"Did my brother ever like her?" She asked softly, afraid of being heard by her cousin who was sleeping in the room.
Lin Yiyang shook his head: "I don't know."
He poured three cups of coffee, one each.
Yin Guo looked at Wu Wei.
Wu Wei also shook his head: "Ghost knows what your brother thinks." After finishing speaking, he said aggrievedly, "Your brother's loveless one is only fifth, and he has been suppressed by Jiang Yang this year."
Yin Guo reflexively protected his brother: "Jiang Yang is also fourth this year, and he was crushed by my brother the year before last."
Seeing her serious face, Wu Wei was amused: "Yes, yes, we are not serious about the results of the two of them. How many years have we been fighting?"
Lin Yiyang listened to what they were saying, pinched the rim of the white porcelain cup with two fingers, and took a sip of coffee.
As if none of this had anything to do with him.
Wu Wei didn't say anything more, and decided that he "should go", so he drank his coffee in a few sips, took the keys, and left.
When the two of them got along alone, they returned to the original atmosphere.
"Is it annoying to listen to our chat?" He asked.
Yin Guo shook his head and asked him back: "Will it bother you to hear about my childhood?"
Lin Yiyang also shook his head, he could do anything, but unfortunately no one told him.
The beginning stages of a relationship are the most beautiful.
I don't know you, you don't know me, I long to know all, all of you, and so do you.
Every word he said to Wu Wei was fresh and interesting to her, about Lin Yiyang, about the past of the man in front of her. She listened carefully to every word.
Lin Yiyang pushed the coffee cup to her hand and let her drink it. Yin Guo was alert again to the fact that she hadn't brushed her teeth yet: "I brush my teeth first before I can eat." After speaking, she ran into the bathroom.
After the door closed, Lin Yiyang couldn't help laughing.
so cute.
When Yin Guo came out, Meng Xiaotian had already woken up, chatting with Lin Yiyang there.
Seeing that the coffee was getting cold, Lin Yiyang re-boiled a pot for Yin Guo, but it was not boiling yet. The two met their eyes for a few seconds, separated by their cousin.
"Wait a minute." Lin Yiyang pointed to the coffee pot.
She said "um".
Waiting and waiting, but thought of another thing: "I'm moving out today."
Lin Yiyang looked at her.
"The big team from the club is here, and the coach asked me to stay in the hotel," she explained, "Everyone must gather."
"Let's go now?" Meng Xiaotian was surprised, "My brother is really, he tied you back as soon as he came."
Yin Guo's words were both emotional and reasonable, Lin Yiyang didn't think too much, and said directly: "Clean up, I'll take you there."
"Aren't you going back to school?" She remembered that he had to catch the train after lunch.
"I'll send you off first." He said.
If it doesn't work, take another train back to DC.
"Then I'll clean up first." She said immediately.
In this way, I can pack it up before lunch, and after sending it to the hotel, I will have time to go to the train station.
Lin Yiyang nodded: "Go."
Meng Xiaotian found that no one was talking to him, and he glanced left and right.
Just as Yin Guo took a step forward, Lin Yiyang grabbed her wrist again and pulled her back.
This time the coffee is really good, and it is the most satisfying to catch up with a sip.
Ever since I pulled it back, I haven't let go of my hand...
Meng Xiaotian completely understood, and messed up his short hair: "Then what, sister, you pack up, I don't want to see my brother. After he leaves, I'll go to the hotel to see you. I'm hungry, I'm starving to death, I'll eat first I won't wait for you two."
The cousin didn't delay and walked quickly.
Unexpectedly, the cousin left on the front foot, and met a group of people from Dongxin City downstairs.
People in Dongxin City like to do morning exercises, and a group of children practice in the morning, insisting that they want to come to the ball room where the junior uncle worked part-time, for private training. As a result, they all came early in the morning, the training of the younger generation, and the eating of the older generation...
Yin Guo didn't want to be scrutinized by all the friends around Lin Yiyang several times within an hour on the same day, and then hid in the house and cleaned up. Lin Yiyang was absent-minded outside, drinking his second cup of hot coffee in one gulp.
Jiang Yang wanted to have a chat with him: "Give me a cup too."
Lin Yiyang pretended not to hear: "I didn't sleep all night last night, you stay by yourself, I'll catch up on sleep."
Not half a good face.
Yin Guo wanted to go out halfway, afraid of running into a few men alone, so he sent Lin Yiyang a WeChat message.
Xiaoguo: When will they leave
Lin: We'll go first.
Xiaoguo: ... I dare not go out.
Lin:
Xiaoguo: I feel awkward.
Lin: I told them to go to the bathroom, you go out, they come out again.
Xiaoguo: Don’t, don’t, we won’t be able to meet again in the future.
Xiaoguo: Forget it, I'll bite the bullet and go out.
Lin::)
Lin: Let's go.
Xiaoguo: Yes.
After Yin Guo packed his luggage and was ready to go, Lin Yiyang found a spare key and threw it to Jiang Yang: "I'm going back to school, you can do whatever you want."
He carried Yin Guo's suitcase and went out first.
Yin Guolin stepped out of the apartment door, his back was burned by the eyes of a group of people, he worked hard for a long time to maintain his composure, turned around, and waved to the people who ordered takeaway and ate together as a farewell.
When the door of the apartment hit, several big men looked at each other in blank dismay: Lin Yiyang went back to school, and the girl followed with a suitcase
As expected of the little master Yang who never obeyed the rules and acted out of common sense, the same goes for falling in love.
Fast, accurate, ruthless.
"Prepare to give red envelopes," Jiang Yang commented, "Don't embarrass Dongxincheng."
"How much is enough?" Fan Wenchao was a real person, took out his mobile phone and checked the online banking.
Chen An'an thought for a while: "This year's bonus."
Jiang Yang had no objection, thinking it was a lucky start, and congratulated on finding his brother.
Fan Wen hurriedly looked at the number four in the world and had no objection... He silently put away his phone, anyway, I am far behind you in the top ten. I just complained silently in my heart, at least I will give you so many red envelopes, so my future wife won't take a second look. Sorry, didn't pay attention. Sorry, next time I have to take a closer look at what it looks like.
***
The Open has designated hotels that offer discounts to guests.
Therefore, basically foreign players here will choose to stay in the same hotel and train in the hotel ball room or two nearby ball rooms. After Yin Guo checks in, he finds that the coach and people from the same club are in the hotel ball room.
Seeing that Lin Yiyang had no attitude of repelling going, she took him to the third floor.
The people from Beicheng had just arrived today, so Meng Xiaodong let everyone take the place and practiced for everyone to adapt to the local time difference.
When Yin Guo opened the door and walked in, the eight nine-ball tables and four snooker tables outside were all full, and all of them were standing on their own. When everyone saw that it was Junior Sister coming, they waved and greeted one after another.
"Why are you all here?" Yin Guo looked at the person next to the snooker table in surprise.
Someone replied: "I was going to tour the championship, but the sixth brother said that he would come to the United States first, probably because he was worried about your first professional competition."
In Beicheng, the sixth child is Meng Xiaodong, so naturally he is being talked about.
Yin Guo nodded: "Is my coach in there?"
She just answered the phone and said she was in the lounge.
"Yes," replied the other, "go in, it's waiting for you."
Yin Guo looked around, there was a row of chairs by the window.
She waved to Lin Yiyang, Lin Yiyang lowered his head, she whispered softly: "At most twenty minutes...or half an hour."
Lin Yiyang nodded, and by the way, patted her on the head: "Don't worry."
Yin Guo smiled at him and ran away reluctantly.
To be honest, Lin Yiyang's action was intentional.
He is different from Yin Guo. When Yin Guo enters the ball room on this floor, it is like going home. He is acquainted everywhere, and he will not notice much difference and scrutiny. But Lin Yiyang knew from the moment he stepped into the gate that everyone in the audience was looking at him.
including now.
He walked to the window and didn't sit down. He just leaned against the glass window and watched the players from Beicheng practice, especially the snooker players.
He didn't pay attention to the competition these years, but because Wu Wei was still playing, he mentioned several new seedlings in Beicheng many times, and showed him a few game videos. His evaluation was: he and Meng Xiaodong are the same way.
One of the people that Lin Yiyang saw in the video is now beside the green snooker table, rubbing the tip of the club with fine powder, staring at himself and Yin Guo without hesitation from the moment he entered the gate, not for a second The man who looked away seemed to be called... Li Qingyan.
From the moment he came in, Lin Yiyang watched the man hit a few shots. Like Meng Xiaodong, he had a steady rhythm and strictly controlled his shots within 25 seconds. That day, after Lin Yiyang discovered Meng Xiaodong's new habit, he checked the rules of various competitions.
This is the rule of the Super League, very strict.
Many other international events do not have this 25-second requirement. However, Meng Xiaodong is obviously training himself, including his players, with the strictest competition rules.
A minute later, the two big boys from Jiuqiu who were familiar with Yin Guo crossed the safety line between everyone present and Lin Yiyang, smiling.
"Brother, it's a pleasure to meet you." The taller one leaned on Lin Yiyang's left side and stretched out his right hand.
Lin Yiyang stretched out his right hand and gave the other party a symbolic shake.
"Playing ball?" asked the shorter one beside him.
If he is a professional, no one knows him, so everyone thinks he is a layman.
Lin Yiyang saw that these two were still friendly, with a lot of curiosity, so he leaned there and said casually, "Occasionally."
With ears pricked up, everyone understood: amateur.
So Yin Guo came to New York first, and somehow an amateur caught up with him. They didn't dare to think about it, but what would Brother Li, who grew up with Yin Guo's childhood sweetheart, think.
Beside the snooker table, Li Qingyan's opponent, Nitzi, picked up a ball and pointed to the green table in front of him with a smile: "According to the rules, you have to take one shot when you enter the ball room in our privately-owned Beicheng. "
Lin Yiyang shook his head: "I don't play snooker."
No one could make him break this rule, including Meng Xiaodong who only made him take a half step back.
"Nine balls?" Someone pointed to the blue table not far away.
Lin Yiyang thought about it, or forget it.
Nine Balls are all young and vigorous, and they are the contestants of this Open. It's impossible to let yourself not play well, but you have to play seriously. It's not kind to have such a round with professional players before the Open.
So, he shook his head again: "I won't fight either."
Everyone looked at each other, and it turned out that they were playing Chinese eight-ball.
"Give him a middle eight," said Nitzi, "use a nine-ball table."
After Nitzi finished speaking, everyone was looking at Li Qingyan.
Li Qingyan finally opened his mouth. He spoke very politely: "If you can enter the place where we reserve the venue, you are either your own people or friends. If you want to be friends, just come here, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the crowd."
Nitro finally answered: "Unless you say, you never touch it or don't understand it, we won't force it."
Lin Yiyang looked at the situation and knew that it would be unreasonable for him not to go through a scene today.
He could tell that Li Qingyan was an important person. He probably had chased after Yin Guo in the past, or had been together, and at least he was still thinking about it until today.
He left the window, walked straight to the snooker table where Li Qingyan and Nitzi practiced, and patted the edge: "That's it."
In the ball room, it gradually became quiet.
"Don't you want to play snooker?" Li Qingyan looked at him with a smile across the table.
"Yes, I won't play." Lin Yiyang looked around, looking for a public club.
"Git, give it to him." Li Qingyan said.
Nitro handed his personal cue to Lin Yiyang: "I still want to compete, so take it easy."
Lin Yiyang took the cue and patted Nitro on the back of the shoulder: "Thank you."
There were still three balls left on the table, Lin Yiyang cleared the table completely with his hands, leaving only one red ball and one white ball.
Lin Yiyang pointed to the red ball: "You can place the red ball as you like, and I will hit it."
This sentence shocked all the people who watched the excitement.
Too crazy, dare to hit a ball at random
Lin Yiyang picked up the Qiaofen from the edge of the table, and added: "Fifty balls, if there are three missed pockets, I will lose."
