However, Qin Qing's summer vacation life did not become easier at all because of her excellent grades and fame.
On the contrary, while most students were rejoicing at the temporary end of this period of study life, Qin Qing had already started studying the first-grade high school courses in advance under the arrangement of her mother, Li Jinghe.
In the last month of her third year of junior high school, Qin Qing had already completed comprehensive consolidation of the high school mathematics and physics courses.
The rest of the courses focused more or less on memory. Although the difficulty was not high, the amount of knowledge was extremely considerable. Therefore, during the two-month summer vacation after the high school entrance examination, Qin Qing spent a month and a half to finally complete all the homework for the first year of high school.
Seeing that there was less than half a month left before school started, Qin Qing's happy summer vacation, which she originally thought was completely hopeless, finally showed a glimmer of light with the appearance of her cousin Qin Hao -
"Going out to play?"
Li Jinghe's meticulously painted eyebrows frowned, and after a moment's thought she shook her head, "No, I don't agree."
“…”
Qin Qing's eyes dimmed as she stood behind Qin Hao.
Qin Hao's expression did not change, and he still had a smile on his face: "Aunt, I know what you are worried about - isn't it that Xiaoqing has just finished her first year of high school and is about to take the skipping test at the beginning of school, so I'm worried that she will affect her condition. .”
Li Jinghe glanced at him, "I know you are still here to encourage your sister to go out? If you can't change your mind, then she will have learned in vain for more than a month."
"I'm not saying that, aunt, it's because you have too little confidence in my sister Xiaoqing!"
Qin Hao glanced at Qin Qing with a smile, gave her a "reassuring" sign, and then turned back, "Don't you know Xiaoqing's IQ and level? It's just a basic course for the first grade of high school. It’s been more than a month, how could there still be problems?”
Just as Li Jinghe was about to speak, Qin Hao added with a smile:
"Besides, the more times like this, the more time it is for Xiaoqing to go out and relax - you believe me, although my grades are not as good as Xiaoqing, but it's still okay, right? For me, it's that old saying - The most important thing in civil and military education is relaxation. This is the same principle in learning! From junior high school to high school, I just finished the review of the third grade of junior high school and went directly to the first grade of senior high school courses. Once I passed the test, I had to continue to the second grade of senior high school. This has always been tense. Xian, how can this be done without any chance to relax?"
“…”
Li Jinghe was silent for a while, and finally gave Qin Hao a helpless look, "You just have to take your sister out today, right?"
Qin Hao answered with a smile: "I am also thinking about Xiaoqing. Only by having better rest can we study better!"
"You have such a mouth, no wonder your dad always worries about you."
A smile finally appeared on Li Jinghe's face, and she waved her hand.
"Okay, then you can take Xiaoqing out to relax, but remember - you can't go to any dangerous places."
"No problem!" Qin Hao slapped his chest, "I'll do the work, don't worry, Auntie."
As he said this, Qin Hao turned around and gave Qin Qing a wink.
Qin Qing suppressed her excitement and glanced at Li Jinghe carefully.
"Mom, then I..."
"Well, go ahead. When you get out, stay with your brother and don't run around. If you need cash, just go to the drawer and get it."
Qin Qing responded, and Li Jinghe had already gotten up and returned to her room.
Qin Hao laughed softly and said: "How about it, I told you, right? I will take action, no problem."
"Thank you, second brother."
Qin Qing's mood was relaxed at this time, her eyebrows were softly curved, and her black and white eyes were full of smiles.
"Okay, you change your clothes and pack your things, we're ready to go."
… …
She was finally out of the "regular" life for more than a month. At this time, Qin Qing felt that the sun was shining brightly outside.
It's just that the brother and sister were not unexpectedly stuck on the two ultimate questions of "where to go to play" and "what to eat for lunch".
"I know a good place."
After struggling for a long time, Qin Hao spoke hesitantly.
"I just don't know if it's appropriate for you to go."
If the latter part of the sentence had not been added, Qin Qing would not have thought that the "good place" mentioned by Qin Hao would be a truly good place. But as soon as she heard the second half of the sentence, she felt as if something was gently scratching her paw, and a numb curiosity jumped up.
"What place?"
The girl gently blinked her butterfly-wing eyelashes and asked tentatively.
Qin Hao thought for a few seconds and clapped his hands: "That's the best place to relieve stress. I'll take you in and have a look - if you think it's not possible, we'll leave."
When Qin Qing heard this, she felt even more curious and a little worried.
But she still understands Qin Hao's character - although he seems to be always laughing and joking, but there is absolutely no disqualification in his nature.
Thinking of this, Qin Qing felt relieved again and followed obediently to the "good place".
—Mixed martial arts arena.
Qin Qing's little face froze almost as soon as she entered the second floor and saw these five words on the hall door.
At the same time, a series of related words such as "black/boxing", "gambling", "underground/underground/trading", almost flew through her mind. She instinctively took a step back, and at the same time reached out to hold on. Qin Hao's sleeves and voice were filled with unconscious nervousness:
"Second brother, this is illegal!"
Before Qin Hao could react, a person passing by burst out laughing.
"Little girl, mixed martial arts is a legal competition, so you can't talk nonsense!"
Qin Qing turned around, and the person who spoke had already approached the hall door with a smile. Her cheeks turned red and she turned her head to look at Qin Hao doubtfully.
"Second brother...is what he said true?"
Qin Hao couldn't laugh or cry: "Xiao Qing, do you think I will take you to some illegal place?"
“…”
Qin Qing sighed in frustration.
But when it came to checking in, Qin Qing still flinched a little: "Second brother, how about we go do something else?"
Qin Hao looked at her with a smile: "The tickets have been bought. At least come in and take a look. Besides, don't you like writing novels? As a qualified writer, daily collecting of stories should be the norm. Maybe one day I can use it in your book."
The last sentence successfully convinced Qin Qing. She only hesitated for a second, nodded, and checked in with her beating heart.
While entering the venue, Qin Hao explained to Qin Qing.
"The venue format of this mixed martial arts arena is modeled after the UFC, the largest world-class competition in the mixed martial arts model, which is the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The UFC competition venue is set in an octagonal cage, so UFC is also called 'cage fighting' '."
Qin Hao led Qin Qing to the front row of the viewing platform. He took the ticket in his hand, checked the two seats, and pulled Qin Qing to sit down.
"How about it? It's very close to the competition stage and has a wide view, right?"
Qin Qing looked at the octagonal cage modeled after the UFC venue with curiosity and worry, and said worriedly: "It's really so close..."
Qin Hao didn't hear Qin Qing's subtext, but said proudly: "The front row tickets for this kind of mixed martial arts competition are not so easy to grab. Fortunately, today's competition is a rookie competition, and it doesn't get as much attention as the old people who are already famous. Only in this way can we buy front-row tickets. And this is the time when this year’s World MMA Championship begins, so most famous people and fans have rushed to the host city.”
Qin Qing, however, ignored Qin Hao's pile of theories and finally couldn't help but turn around.
"Second brother, no one will die during the game, right?"
“…”
The smile on Qin Hao's face froze.
After a few seconds, he sighed helplessly: "Xiaoqing, this is really not an illegal competition - in fact, in the more than 80 years of MMA competition history, there has been only one death. This is comparable to wrestling, Sanda, football, etc." Even tug-of-war has a much lower mortality rate.”
Only then did Qin Qing feel a little relieved. She turned back to look under the big cage and waited with the rest of the audience for the two contestants to enter the arena.
Qin Hao on the side was studying the data of the players with the votes.
"The newcomer in today's game is very interesting. He has just come of age, which means he is the same age as me. In the previous games... he won five games, and this result is actually for a newcomer?"
As soon as Qin Qing's eyes turned to Qin Hao, she suddenly felt that the lights around her dimmed.
She stayed for a moment, looking around blankly.
"Don't worry," Qin Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw Qin Qing's reaction, "This is about letting the contestants appear."
Accompanied by Qin Hao's words, Qin Qing saw two light paths lighting up at the opposite ends of the octagonal cage. A vague figure with naked upper body adjusted, checked, and entered amidst the noisy whistles and shouts of the audience in the venue.
It wasn't until both of them entered the cage that the lights returned to the venue, and Qin Qing's eyes finally adapted to the light.
She opened her eyes and looked into the cage curiously.
Qin Qing's eyes suddenly widened when she saw the player diagonally in front of her, almost facing her side of the viewing platform.
"-ah!"
She stood up from her position.
Qin Qing's reaction was not small. In addition, it was the preparation time before the first round. The front row of the viewing platform was very quiet. People around her, including Qin Hao, were startled by her.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Hao came back to his senses and asked hurriedly.
"Brother..."
Qin Qing screamed repeatedly, covered her eyes and swooped back, pressing down desperately and curling up into a ball.
The voice came out muffled with an obvious slight tremor——
"You help me watch the guy on the other side of the game. If anything happens to him, you have to tell me..."
Qin Hao blinked in confusion.
Qin Qing said nothing, and her slender back, which was tense due to nervousness, trembled slightly.
Qin Hao raised his eyes thoughtfully.
Looking at the player Qin Qing was talking about through the rope net of the octagonal cage, Qin Hao's eyes were looking into the dark and emotional eyes of that person.
Qin Hao instinctively followed the opponent's gaze and landed on Qin Qing, who was huddled up.
Qin Hao was stunned.
That person seemed... looking at Xiaoqing
After being stunned for only a few seconds, Qin Hao suddenly figured out something, his eyes changed, and he looked at him with hostility.
He knew - their Xiaoqing was pretty and cute, and sooner or later they would be targeted by some bad boys!
"Are you OK?"
Zhuo Anke was the first to squat next to Qin Qing and reached out to support her.
“…”
Qin Qing glanced at the other party gratefully and shook her head.
She never thought that it would be okay if she didn't shake her head. As soon as she shook her head, she suddenly felt that the world in front of her started to spin.
His face, which was not very good-looking at first, turned even paler in an instant.
