Watching Qin Rui leave, Lou Cheng withdrew his gaze and looked at the small frozen pond in front of him.
The sound of mahjong crashing, indistinct singing, the sound of basketball touching the ground, and the cheerful laughter of students can be heard faintly around. In front of you, you can see yourself reflected on the ice, as if you have traveled through time from high school.
At that time, my face was not clear enough...
At that time, my body was thin and I often felt tired...
At that time, I was not generous enough, and I was timid in speaking and doing things. It was not because I was introverted and didn’t like to deal with unfamiliar people, but when facing others, unless I really had a good relationship, I would always think too much. Worried about whether there will be ambiguity in saying this, worrying about whether it is not appropriate to say that, doubting that certain expressions will leave a bad impression on the other party, too many scruples, too much thinking, but restrained hands, more and more anxious, more urgent The worse the performance...
But now, through Xiao Ming's role model, through martial arts training, and through the confidence accumulated in the group arena victories, I finally understand a truth. Opinion is like a martial arts competition. Looking forward and backward, hesitating, will only lead to failure. Similarly, in many cases, what to say is secondary, and the words can express the meaning. The important thing is to use this to show confidence and sincerity. Of course, be humorous You can't go wrong with being funny.
Thoughts fluctuated, Lou Cheng's thoughts gradually settled down. The students who sang were still singing, those who played basketball were still playing, those who played chess and cards were still playing chess and cards, and those who climbed mountains were still climbing mountains. It seemed that he was the only one. The wind recalls the past.
Familiar voices came to his ears one after another, and he seemed to be back in high school in a trance.
It was hard and depressing. At that time, it was really hard and really depressing. It was just dawn, and I had already sat in the classroom and started my morning self-study. It was dark and I hadn’t returned home yet. The students in the school discussed that time is occupied by a class, a paper, and an exam, and the youth seems to be pale because of this.
However, looking back now, there are also bits of joy flowing through these hardships and depressions. It is the joy of finally getting a satisfactory score in the exam, the joy of finally finishing the homework ahead of schedule, and the freedom to go home and relax. Sneaking in from a busy schedule, chatting with the same table, the front table, and the back table about the beauty of various interesting things;
It is the wanton publicity of fighting and chatting during recess, the satisfaction of secretly watching Yan Zheke while doing martial arts on the radio, and the different jokes or care brought by different teachers;
It's the time when Jiang Fei and Cheng Qili seized the noon time, and occasionally went out of school to play a game to vent on the Internet, it was the childishness who fanatically chased martial arts experts and collected their posters, it was the madness of sleeping until noon during the holiday, it was the gap The enrichment and emotion of watching intermittently;
Bit by bit, yesterday repeats itself.
This is my blooming rainy season, this is my high school life, this is my youth that I can never go back.
With the cold wind blowing on his face, Lou Cheng suddenly laughed, because he thought of a sentence: Man is a vulgar animal. Facing the present full of variables and unknowns, he is like a beast that has been hungry for a long time. Taste, when everything is in the past, when memories are made, the beauty of that bit is just fermented and tasted, but it can no longer be reproduced.
No wonder there is such a thing as a rebirth article. Sometimes, what you read is not to change history, but to savor the past.
Feeling for a long time, he suppressed these thoughts, returned to the KTV box, chatted with Yan Zheke while singing, and at four o'clock, several people thought the place was too boring, so they went out for a walk , looking at the beautiful mountain scenery, breathing the cold and fresh air, talking and laughing about their embarrassing things back then.
At 5:30, the tourist bus came again and took Lou Cheng and others back to Xiushan. Dinner was roasted whole lamb, and there was no activity after that.
During the meal, some people talked freely, some played and booed, some listened quietly, some whispered, while Lou Cheng made a lot of noise and ate a hearty meal.
At the end, Qiu Hailin, who was sitting at Lao Wu's table, stood up, holding a glass with a light layer of red wine in it.
She looked around, and when she saw Lou Cheng and their table, she suddenly laughed and said:
"Jiang Fatty, you can really eat. You have finished eating so much roast lamb, and there are still a lot left on other tables. No wonder you are so fat!"
Fatty Jiang looked aggrieved, and glanced resentfully at Lou Cheng next to him, I didn't eat much shit, I was just busy talking, drinking, bragging and spanking!
Brothers are used to take the blame... Lou Cheng silently patted him on the shoulder.
After using this topic to attract the attention of all the students, Qiu Hailin said in a crisp voice:
"This class reunion, we started by respecting Mr. Wu and Mr. Xin. At the end, let's respect each other and ourselves. I know that everyone will go their separate ways in the future, and each will have their own opportunities. There may not be too many But I hope that we will never forget this classmate friendship. You must know that in the past three years, some students came here when they were in the second grade of high school. It was two years, that is, hundreds of thousands of days. We spend more time together than parents or relatives, our memories belong to each other!"
"After drinking this cup, the friendship will not fade on the journey, and a smile is enough!"
As expected of the school's speech club... Lou Cheng smiled slightly, substituting water for wine, and raised his glass.
During the chat just now, I found out that Qiu Hailin joined the speech club at Imperial College.
"Dry!"
After a chorus, everyone drank what was in their cups, looking excited and grateful.
Afterwards, some people left and went home one after another. In order to wait for Cheng Qili and Cheng Qili to have more conversations with Qiu Hailin, they fought together until the end. In their eyes, there were messy tables and glasses, just like the mess after a feast, and like a dream wake up.
Lou Cheng took a deep look, exhaled, turned and left, the last one in this class reunion.
Memories so far...
The past can no longer be pursued, and now we must know how to grasp it!
Just like Cheng Qili chasing Qiu Hailin.
Just as I pursued Yan Zheke.
...
A few days after the party, it was the end of January, New Year's Eve.
Lou Cheng looked at his parents packing up and taking things to his grandfather's house, thought for a while, and went to the balcony, facing the pot of leeks he planted, and took out his mobile phone.
In the evening, I want to talk with my family, chat with Yan Zheke, send messages of New Year greetings to Cai Xiaoming and other classmates and friends, or call Master in the afternoon to express my gratitude.
After the bell rang, Lou Cheng heard a familiar hoarse voice: "That's right, remember to send my New Year greetings to Master."
"Yes, Master, Happy Chinese New Year!" Lou Cheng said with a smile.
"Why are you so happy!" Old man Shi said angrily, "Being under surveillance, you have to sneak around to smoke and drink!"
"Haha, who is it?" Lou Cheng asked with a chuckle.
Master usually looks like a widowed old man, uh, if he finds out that he wants to do this, he will definitely get a big beating...
Old man Shi sighed: "My daughter and son-in-law."
"Then, master, please send my greetings to senior sister and sister-in-law for me." Lou Cheng said politely.
Hey, Master's tone can't tell you're not happy. This is what the saying goes, don't talk about it, but your body is still very honest
After exchanging a few pleasantries, old man Shi said: "Since you called, I have something to tell you first."
"What's the matter?" Lou Cheng was both surprised and curious.
The old man Shi coughed a few times: "The next semester is the national competition, which has nothing to do with us. From the beginning of the semester to the next regional competition, there are eight or nine months. For such a long time, it is definitely not enough to rely on training and routines. I have to give it to you. These little guys have to find some real combat to temper, or else they are all born with hands and feet, and when it comes to the divisional competition, who can they beat?"
"Practice training? How to do it?" Lou Cheng suddenly became excited.
Old man Shi said: "Other schools usually find nearby university martial arts clubs or martial arts schools to exchange duels, or go to participate in small group arenas not far away in batches. I think that the actual combat intensity is not enough. How will they face Shanbei in the future? A top team? Now that you are almost at the quasi-professional level, and with the growth of Lin Que and others, you can form a team to participate in the trials after the next year."
"Trials?" Lou Cheng blurted out in astonishment.
Are you going to participate in the trials
"Why are you surprised to hear that there is a trial? This way you can fight more with the strong. Anyway, it is impossible for you to go too far in the trial and delay the Budo Association divisional competition in the second half of the year. Work hard, maybe you can win Get some tips or share the bonus." Old man Shi scolded with a smile.
I don't know why, Lou Cheng suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, the trials! An introductory competition in the professional martial arts circle!
"But, master, will this delay the usual study? There are home and away games in the trials..." he asked worriedly.
The old man Shi snorted: "Are you looking down on your master? I will say hello to the main committee and arrange our away games on weekends. Anyway, the divisions will not be too far away."
Having said that, he added: "You have to train hard, seize the opportunity of this actual battle to improve, and at the end of April, directly enroll me in the professional ninth-rank competition!"
"Submit directly to the Ninth Professional Rank Competition..." Lou Cheng gasped first, and then he was filled with excitement and excitement.
Is the first qualifying competition a professional level
That's right, a man must pursue something!
After finishing the call, he wished he could share this matter with Yan Zheke right away, but after thinking about it, he decided to press it down and wait until the New Year's Eve was approaching before calling to talk about it!
Then there is an excuse to enter the new year with Yan Zheke listening to the sound of firecrackers and each other's breathing!
That would occupy her time from the old year to the new!
I'm so witty!
Back in the living room, seeing that his parents were about to clean up, Lou Cheng quietly returned to the room and took out the presents for them.
