Zhang Liang yelled at Pei Zhi, and the court was a little more harmonious, but there was still a big gap between the atmosphere of going out to play with friends, and the whole game was still very dull.
Lin Zhaoxi probably knew why Lu Zhihao agreed to play such a badminton game with Zhang Liang, because Lao Lu was a good person, but she couldn't comment on Zhang Liang.
Many of Pei Zhi's words are to the point, he will not say what Zhang Liang said that day, let alone analyze Zhang Liang's recent state of mind to say those words.
That may be something that only belongs to Zhang Liang, and has nothing to do with Lu Zhihao.
Two out of three games, Zhang Liang won 2-1.
Zhang Liang and his little girlfriend were packing up on the other side of the field, and their half of the area was relatively peaceful. Hanamaki teased Lu Zhihao a few words, the old Comrade Lu didn't seem to want to talk very much.
"Senior sister, are you going to take a shower? Is there a bathroom here?" Shen Mei asked a little shyly.
Lin Zhaoxi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied: "Okay."
Shen Mei ran to the opposite side of the field and called Zhang Liang's little girlfriend.
Going into the bathroom with two young and beautiful girls, Lin Zhaoxi always felt that her vanity was satisfied. But just like Zhang Liang and Lu Zhihao, Shen Mei and Zhang Liang's little girlfriend seemed to have nothing to say.
They went into the bathroom in silence, changed their clothes in silence, and took out the laundry in silence. Lin Zhaoxi washed quickly, showering in 30 seconds, getting dressed in 1 minute, and then putting on shoes on the stool.
There was the sound of slippers slapping in the bathroom, and Zhang Liang's little girlfriend came with her wet hair wrapped in a towel. Only now did Lin Zhaoxi see that there was a tattoo of a cat biting a rose on her shoulder armor. It was a dark loli, different from the harmless appearance of humans and animals when she snuggled up to Zhang Liang.
In the bathroom, there was the sound of Shen Mei taking a bath.
Lin Zhaoxi thought for a while and said hello: "Little sister, what's your name?"
"Annie, I'm not young, I'm as old as Zhang Liang."
"Annie, your name is so sweet." Lin Zhaoxi couldn't think of anything to say, so she could only chat awkwardly, "It seems a bit embarrassing to play today." She laughed dryly.
Annie had a stern face: "It's not embarrassing, Zhang Liang is actually very happy."
Lin Zhaoxi: "Of course you are happy that you won."
"No, you are willing to come out, he is very happy."
"Uh, you don't include me." Lin Zhaoxi said.
"Is he annoying?"
"It's disgusting."
"He actually just wants to have some sense of presence." Loli sneered, "That's what idiots do."
Lin Zhaoxi was shocked. Miss Annie just sat down and took out a cigarette from her bag. Lin Zhaoxi weakly pointed at the no-smoking sign.
The girl put away her cigarette irritably: "Do you know why I am with Zhang Liang?"
"Because..." Lin Zhaoxi searched his brains, but couldn't think of words to exaggerate Zhang Liang, so he could only say, "Tall?"
The girl gave her a blank look: "Of course it's because his family is rich."
"..."
"But later I found out that his family is not as rich as I thought, and he has no intention of staying in Switzerland. I want to mix my status, so I once wanted to dump him."
"Then why didn't you dump it?"
When Lin Zhaoxi asked, the girl gave her another look.
"Of course because I love him."
Lin Zhaoxi's face was troubled.
Annie squinted at her: "What's your expression?"
"I think you are a bit harsh." Lin Zhaoxi said.
"When do you think a woman starts to fuck up with a man?"
Lin Zhaoxi: "???"
"You've never been in a relationship?" Annie understood.
"Cough" Lin Zhaoxi cleared her throat, "I have someone I like."
"It's something to be proud of."
Lin Zhaoxi: "..."
Annie unscrewed the mineral water, took a sip, and didn't intend to rub her hair at all: "I tell you, when a woman starts to sympathize with a man, she is doomed, so you must never sympathize with a man."
Lin Zhaoxi didn't know why the topic suddenly seemed to shift towards emotion, and what was even more frightening was that because she didn't have a mother, she had never talked with anyone about this kind of private emotional issues between girls since she was a child.
But sympathy? She suddenly thought of a possibility: "Is Zhang Liang's family in trouble?"
"what are you thinking?"
"Because you made Zhang Liang look miserable."
"Do you care?"
"I do not care."
"Then there's nothing to say."
"Okay, I want to gossip." Lin Zhaoxi thought for a while, and still found a tactful excuse, "He and I should be alumni of junior high school and high school. I've heard his name before, and he has good grades."
"What's the use of grades?"
"Isn't he pretty good? He went abroad after graduating from high school." Lin Zhaoxi suddenly thought of the Switzerland that Annie said, "What do you learn from Switzerland?"
"Hotel management."
Lin Zhaoxi was stunned for a moment. Although it was different from the subjects she expected Zhang Liang to choose, she still said, "It's a very good major."
"Of course, many wealthy second generations like to study this major, and the tuition is also expensive." Annie has long eyelashes, she blinked slightly, looking cute and cute, "That's why I went to work near their school."
"Well, what then?"
"Then I met Zhang Liang. This kind of boy is very easy to deceive. You don't even need to be nice to him. You just need to flatter him and coax him a few words every day, and he will be in a high mood and tell you everything." Annie moved her leg Plate on the bench, "Can I really not smoke?"
"I can't."
"I inquired about his family background and knew that his family opened a chain of express hotels in China. Later, I checked and found out that you have a hotel of that brand in Anning."
"No wonder you want to learn hotel management and inherit the family business when you go home." Lin Zhaoxi's voice was very flat, "The second generation rich are the most stable jobs in the world."
"Your words are really hypocritical."
"Just be perfunctory."
Lin Zhaoxi followed Annie and sat up cross-legged, feeling complicated.
She and Zhang Liang had a few periods of study that only she knew about. Zhang Liang was an opponent and an enemy. Later, even if Zhang Liang studied with Lao Lin, they were never friends. Because Zhang Liang is always on top, he feels that everyone is rubbish, like his proud mother.
Such a proud person went to study hotel management, probably because he wanted to turn his family business into a Hilton. Lin Zhaoxi reluctantly found a reason, but couldn't help thinking, what kind of life path will Zhang Liang, who was trained by Lao Lin in the cheese world, choose in the end
It might be because of her addiction to cigarettes, Annie kept drinking water, and after a while, she said, "Your expression is very strange now."
Lin Zhaoxi rubbed her face and regained her composure: "I just wondered if he would offend all the guests to death if he went into a service industry like a hotel with his personality."
Annie also smiled disgustedly: "Of course, a fool like him seems suitable for business?"
Lin Zhaoxi shook her head: "Now I finally understand why you sympathize with him."
Annie: "It's okay, right or left is bankruptcy."
"What about Zhang Liang, does he like to do this?" Lin Zhaoxi asked involuntarily.
"You and that guy named Lu Zhihao are really interesting." Annie paused, and suddenly looked at her seriously.
"What's wrong?"
"I didn't want to say it, but you wouldn't tell Zhang Liang anyway, would you?"
"of course not."
"I looked through Zhang Liang's QQ records once, mainly looking at the blacklist, which is usually where ex-girlfriends are placed." Annie winked at her.
"There is a long string of QQ numbers in it?"
"No, there is only one." Annie smiled, "I thought it was some unforgettable love affair, and I went to add the owner of that account. Then I found out that the other party is a male, a medical student from Yongchuan University."
"Lu Zhihao?"
"I didn't know before, maybe it is now." Annie raised her eyebrows. "I was afraid that Zhang Liang's sexual orientation might be a problem. Once I went home with him, I secretly checked the chat history on his old computer."
"Can you finish it all at once?" Lin Zhaoxi was confused.
"In the chat history, the blocked account said to him—I think you should take the college entrance examination."
Lin Zhaoxi was stunned.
"The little idiot who was blocked was very talkative, and left a lot of words, such as 'If you don't take the college entrance examination, then you will have no grades, and you will never be able to surpass me. If you don’t take the exam, you’ll be avoiding the battle, and you’ll be trash.” That’s about it.”
Annie held her chin, "The last sentence is the funniest 'I don't think you should go to Switzerland to study hotel management. You don't have the brains to make money, so you don't have anything else to like'?"
Lin Zhaoxi calmed down.
Even if Annie didn't add that boy's qq, she could guess who said it just from the direct, straightforward, and never beating around the bush. Apart from Lu Zhihao, there will be no other person.
"Has Zhang Liang replied?"
"Of course, no." Annie said softly.
For some reason, Lin Zhaoxi thought of Lu Zhihao and Zhang Liang in elementary school, Lu Zhihao who used to admire Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang who looked down on Lu Zhihao.
Zhang Liang hates it so much, Lu Zhihao probably held back for a long time to use the college entrance examination to compete with Zhang Liang, but Zhang Liang shattered all Lu Zhihao's delusions by going abroad to study lightly.
She could almost imagine how resentful Lao Lu was when he heard about this, and she could almost guess why Zhang Liang went crazy with Lu Zhihao that day, what qualifications do you have to educate me like this
If I had to describe it in a second sentence, it would probably be called: I don't allow my enemies to be trash.
Lin Zhaoxi was both funny and emotional.
After a long time, there was another shower sound in the bathroom, which stopped at some point.
Shen Mei came out wearing a bath towel, her skin was smooth and smooth, and her face was completely red.
Annie raised her eyes, proud as a black swan: "Does gossip sound good?"
"Not... not bad." Shen Mei paused, "Can I ask a question?"
"what?"
"Why doesn't Zhang Liang resist the family, if he doesn't like the arrangement at home?"
"He doesn't dislike it either." Annie stood up, pinching Shen Mei's face lovingly, "Don't you think, only the luckiest people in the world know what they like and what they want to do, and the big Some people don’t like it or dislike it, it’s not bad, it’s not bad, don’t you all like this?”
Lin Zhaoxi was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head: "Is there anything you like or want to do?"
"Zhang Liang." Annie smiled slyly.
—
If it is a gathering of ordinary friends now, they may go to have a late-night snack together after playing the game.
But Zhang Liang's relationship with Pei Zhi, Lu Zhihao, and Hanamaki is not like this.
After they took a shower, packed their things, and stood together at the entrance of the badminton hall, the night wind was still very hot. Street lamps cast long and narrow light and shadows, and no one asked for an invitation.
Zhang Liang took Annie's hand and left with the ball bag on his back.
Lu Zhihao's expression was solemn: "Just leave like this?"
Zhang Liang turned back: "Otherwise?"
"Let's have a meal together." Lu Zhihao said a declarative sentence.
"Lu Zhihao, are you sick?" Zhang Liang raised his head and said, "What is our relationship?"
"Then why did you ask me out to play badminton?"
"Because you're an idiot." Zhang Liang choked on each sentence.
Lu Zhihao was rarely calm, even completely different from the way Zhang Liang would stir up his emotions in high school: "Isn't it because of what you said, we will meet again before graduation?"
"Hehe." Zhang Liang was too lazy to talk nonsense with Lu Zhihao, so he turned around and went down the stairs.
Lu Zhihao: "You're going back, are you really going to be a trash rich second generation?"
These words are very direct and straightforward, very much in Lu Zhihao's usual style.
"Otherwise?" Zhang Liang asked back.
Lu Zhihao: "I think you should still do what you want to do."
Zhang Liang turned around and left without saying anything.
They probably didn't even have a friendship to drink a glass of water, let alone friends, so they just broke up.
Lin Zhaoxi looked at Zhang Liang's back and remembered the scene when she saw Zhang Liang's mother in the park when she was a child.
They have the same pride, the same power, the same treatment of all other kids as trash.
If the family has created such Zhang Liang, to what extent and how much effort does it take for a person to get rid of the influence of the family and find himself
Maybe it will never be possible
When Pei Zhi sent her home, she passed by a familiar barbecue shop, and she stopped at the door.
After thinking for a long time, she recalled that it was the place where they came to Yongchuan to participate in the Jin Cup team competition in Cheese World Elementary School, and Lao Lin took them to have a barbecue.
Zhang Liang said: "My mother said that children will become stupid after eating barbecue."
A large group of them laughed at him in unison: "You are not very smart."
