"You guys fought too well." Yu Hao and Huang Ting passed by, "But if I hadn't dragged my feet and Xia Lei had come up, you wouldn't have been able to beat Zhou Sheng and Fu Liqun."
Captain Huang Ting replied: "We are both dragging our feet, it doesn't matter."
Yu Hao shot the ball: "What's holding you back?"
Huang Ting should have often participated in the basketball games of the public security system in the past. His style was so fierce that Chen Yekai was afraid that he would knock down Yu Hao, so he would not let him guard Yu Hao so as to avoid a fight with Zhou Sheng, who could not control his impulsiveness for a while. A few hits are nothing.
Huang Ting said: "They said that this was the most beautiful game in Yingshi's history, didn't I hold you back?"
Yu Hao's face was covered in sweat, he wiped his face, smiled and looked at the auditorium. Today was indeed the most spectated show since the start of the game, and even the aisle was full of people.
The score between the two teams was always very close, but Chen Yekai's team kept pressing them firmly. Yu Hao felt that they might still have some strength, but he just didn't want to push the score too far, just to save face. Until Fu Liqun asked for a break, the game was drawing to a close.
Yu Hao was too tired to run, and Zhou Sheng and Fu Liqun's jerseys were soaked with sweat.
"This team is amazing." Zhou Sheng said.
Fu Liqun said: "Four points short, there is still hope."
Yu Hao thought that it should end here, but he didn't say it. Fu Liqun made a last-minute plan, and Zhou Sheng said, "Don't be under pressure, just do whatever you want."
Fu Liqun said, "Yu Hao, if you can't, just take a break. Come on! If you can't, come back next year!"
Yu Hao's vision was a little blurry, and he was approaching the limit. He supported it with perseverance, cheered with Fu Liqun and Zhou Sheng, and each turned around and ran onto the field. The referee blew the whistle, Yu Hao and Chen Yekai faced each other again, neither of them said a word, just stared at his teammates intently.
Chen Yekai: "Tired? Take a break. No, don't push yourself."
"Don't let me." Yu Hao said.
"Do you still need to let it go?" Chen Yekai and Yu Hao jumped up at the same time, Yu Hao intercepted the ball in the air, drew an arc from top to bottom, shot the ball suddenly, and passed it to Zhou Sheng like a shooting star. Zhou Sheng slammed Huang Ting away with his shoulder, made a layup, and scored.
Yu Hao didn't expect that Zhou Sheng would be so powerful at the last moment, he shouted, "You are so handsome!"
Zhou Sheng wiped the sweat from his face, shook his head vigorously, raised his finger on the scoreboard, and stared at Yu Hao quietly, with deep meaning in his eyes, meaning there was still a chance, calm down.
"Take a break!" Zhou Sheng said, "Don't worry about winning or losing!"
Yu Hao nodded reluctantly, stood on the sidelines gasping for breath, his calf was a little cramped.
Chen Yekai's physical strength was also close to the limit. The broken left hand he had broken last time didn't dare to use too much force. He made a gesture to Huang Ting. The three spread out. But knowing Fu Liqun's code, he turned to assist Zhou Sheng.
In the last 30 seconds, it was like a dynamite barrel was fired on the court. Fu Liqun successfully suppressed Huang Ting and grabbed the ball. In an instant, Chen Yekai, Ou Qihang, and Huang Ting abandoned Fu Liqun at the same time and defended Zhou Sheng!
Yu Hao thought to himself that you guys are too cruel! Three guards one... The next moment, there was silence in the audience. Zhou Sheng made a mistake and passed the ball to Ou Qihang. Grab it back in hand.
In an instant, the last chance has come! Zhou Sheng threw the ball towards Fu Liqun—Fu Liqun dribbled out of the 3-point line, jumped up, and made his final 3-pointer—
In just two seconds, the audience was silent, Yu Hao's eyes widened and his heart was beating wildly. Chen Yekai rushed to the front, finally unable to intercept, collided with Fu Liqun and fell.
The basketball flew towards the basket, and everyone's heart stopped beating immediately. The ball slammed into the basket, bounced, and bounced. There were shouts of regret in the audience, but the next moment was Yu Yu on the sidelines. Hao rushes, catches, dribbles, shoots—
At the same time as the ball was released, the referee's whistle sounded and the basket was made. There was a burst of crazy shouting and applause from the audience.
Zhou Sheng shouted, dashed towards Yu Hao, jumped up, and rode on his waist, Yu Hao was almost unsteady, laughing loudly.
However, after just a few seconds, there were boos of disappointment from all directions.
On the scoreboard, the last two points never jumped.
Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao separated. Everyone looked at the scoreboard together. After a few seconds of silence, the sidelines began to sing. Yu Hao was a little helpless, but he was in a good mood. At this time, he wanted to hook Zhou Sheng around the neck and give him a kiss.
"These two points can't be counted." The referee took the initiative to explain, "But you played very well."
Yu Hao was afraid that Zhou Sheng would quarrel with the referee, while Fu Liqun was a little confused. The two sides nodded to each other. Zhou Sheng understood what Yu Hao meant and stepped forward to shake hands with the referee, and then hug Huang Ting's team. Everyone was sweating, Chen Yekai smelled of perfume, and went back to the locker room to change clothes.
Almost all the audience ran to the back door, and there were many fewer people in the audience, Yu Hao said, "What a pity."
Zhou Sheng turned the ball with one hand, held Yu Hao with the other, clasped his fingers with him, looked back at him, "The last ball was really handsome."
Yu Hao laughed, this time there were a lot fewer people, he stood on the sidelines, hooked Zhou Sheng's neck, and kissed him deeply.
However, Fu Liqun sighed and stood on the field, feeling a little lonely. Cen Shan didn't come today. She originally said that she would come to watch their game from the top sixteen, but today she lost to Chen Yekai's team and won't be able to make it to the top sixteen. .
"Huang Ting fought too hard." Fu Liqun said, "He's not too tall, and his style is too fierce."
Zhou Shengdao: "Huang Ting used to play as a striker. Their team is the champion of the National Police Basketball Tournament. It is not wrong to lose to him."
The three were still a little unfinished. They were still thinking about the game just now. Chen Yekai formulated the tactics, Huang Ting was the main force, and Ou Qihang had good physical strength. Zhou Sheng laughed again: "I should have seen how they fought before."
Fu Liqun said: "We will definitely retain our strength, and it will not be so easy for us to see through. Okay, brothers, it's over. Although we lost, we have no regrets!"
Fu Liqun came over and hugged Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao one by one, looking like they wanted to say something, but Yu Hao almost cried, and waved his hands hurriedly, motioning to stop talking. That feeling that could only be comprehended, but could not be expressed in words, made Yu Hao feel that the emotion at this moment was so real. They say "live in the moment", maybe that's what it means to live in the moment.
There was a knock on the door, and Huang Ting came over and said with a smile, "I will remember today's game for the rest of my life."
Zhou Sheng said: "Hey! Don't be cheap!"
Huang Ting, dressed in sportswear, sat down and said, "To be honest, I have to go. Nicky said that I will play a friendly match with you before leaving."
"Ah?" Yu Hao was startled, "Go? Where are you going?"
"Post transfer, go to Beijing." Huang Ting said, "Leave at the end of the month, find time to have a meal together when you are free?"
Zhou Sheng understood and smiled: "You're promoted? Congratulations."
Fu Liqun and Yu Hao stepped forward one by one and patted Huang Ting on the shoulder. Huang Ting stroked his hair habitually, and said, "Your academy has a show this year, see you then."
Yu Hao knew that Huang Ting had made a great contribution in this anti-corruption campaign, and it was a matter of course for him to be promoted. There was no such thing as a feast in the world, and it was also a good thing for Huang Ting to serve in the investigation team. He still remembered what Zhou Sheng had said, maybe Huang Ting had been an undercover agent with one-line contact from the beginning, and it was reasonable to go back to the headquarters now.
It's just that Huang Ting left as soon as he said it, which made him very reluctant. Although he didn't get along like Chen Yekai and Fu Liqun on weekdays, Yu Hao had vaguely regarded Huang Ting as part of his small circle of friends.
"Then what about Sister Jun?" Yu Hao asked Zhou Sheng during dinner.
Zhou Sheng said, "Sister Jun doesn't like him, what else can I do?"
Fu Liqun was obviously not in good spirits today. Yu Hao knew that it wasn't because of the loss, but because Cen Shan didn't come. When the three of them were eating stir-fry, Fu Liqun was still texting Cen Shan with his head down. After a while, he got up and went out to make a phone call.
Yu Hao was in a good mood originally, but when he saw this, he felt a little sad. Fu Liqun and Cen Shan usually do not avoid them on the phone, and the only possibility of leaving is that they are about to quarrel.
"My brother wants to play games to earn some pocket money and go to Australia with us." Zhou Sheng thought about it and said, "Or should we go out for him?"
Yu Hao said, "He won't want it."
Zhou Sheng said helplessly, "Yes."
Yu Hao knew that although Fu Liqun had no plans to spend money, his friends had never defaulted or borrowed money before. Zhou Sheng originally wanted to play this three-player basketball to earn some bonuses, so that Fu Liqun could bring Cen Shan along with him. They went on vacation together, and Zhou Sheng could also upgrade to a cabin and a hotel room, killing two birds with one stone.
But there are too many masters, not to mention Chen Yekai's team, even if they win today, they may not be able to pass the next game.
Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao drank some wine, they looked at each other for a moment, Zhou Sheng said, "Hey, wife."
Yu Hao: "Huh?"
Yu Hao was a little drunk, it was raining lightly outside, this year was a warm winter, and the first snow had not fallen until January.
Zhou Sheng said, "They all like you."
Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng blankly, and Zhou Sheng said again, "Don't run away with people."
"What are you thinking!" Yu Hao laughed.
At this time, Fu Liqun came back. He didn't call for too long, but his expression was very calm. Yu Hao felt a little abnormal.
"Are there any white ones?" Fu Liqun said, "Boss, take two bottles of white ones. The young lady can't drink the white ones. Young master will drink it with me?"
Zhou Sheng: "…"
Yu Hao secretly thought that this was bad. He must have quarreled with Cen Shan. Sure enough, Cen Shan sent Yu Hao several messages in a row, and Fu Liqun said again, "Master, just this time."
"Go away!" Zhou Sheng said, "How many times have you said this?" He said with a smile: "Drink as long as you drink, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Hao got up to make a phone call, and Fu Liqun said to Yu Hao, "Don't answer her call."
Yu Hao said, "What? Why? It's Kai Kai."
"Oh, let's go." Fu Liqun said.
Yu Hao called Cen Shan from outside the eaves and whispered, "Sister-in-law."
It was raining in winter outside, and Cen Shan's voice was not stable, and she said, "Baby, tell him for me, he is right, take care of him, let him find someone who suits him, and everyone should stop tossing with each other. ."
Yu Hao said, "Sister-in-law... wait, don't be impulsive..."
Cen Shan stopped there for a long time, breathing in like a cry after crying, and said slowly: "He just hung up the phone halfway through the conversation. I haven't finished speaking, you just... that's it. After you and Zhou Sheng, He also treats me as an elder sister, and calls me if you have anything to do. Sister loves you. Don't talk anymore... hang up first."
That night, Yu Hao kept chatting with Cen Shan on his mobile phone to enlighten her, only to realize that today Cen Shan originally wanted to come, but was forcibly arranged by his family to go to a second-generation rich birthday party. She was wearing high heels and a short skirt, and she didn't call the driver at home. She asked a friend to buy a high-speed rail ticket for her to come here. When she called and quarreled with Fu Liqun, she was standing in the cold outside the arena in the rain.
Cen Shan asked Yu Hao not to tell Fu Liqun, that's it, Yu Hao wanted to say it several times, but in the end he respected Cen Shan's wishes. Zhou Sheng saw that something was wrong with Yu Hao and told him to go back first. Yu Hao quickly went out and took a taxi to pick up Cen Shan.
"Let's live at our place." Yu Hao hurriedly said.
Cen Shan's expression was a little dull, Yu Hao quickly took off his coat and put it on for her.
"I'm going home." Cen Shan said, "You buy me a high-speed rail ticket, baby, I won't do this."
Cen Shan didn't even read bus signs since she was a child, and only started taking the subway after she was with Fu Liqun. Yu Hao always persuaded her and wanted to take her back to the house he rented, but Cen Shan kept saying, "It's not necessary, I really don't want to go."
Yu Hao could only say: "Okay."
Yu Hao bought Cen Shan a business seat and took her to the entrance of the high-speed rail station. This was the last train. Seeing Cen Shan's state, Yu Hao was really panicked. Zhou Sheng did not reply. It wasn't until Cen Shan entered the station that Zhou Sheng replied:
[It doesn't matter, they will get back together in a few months, and they can't be separated.]
Yu Hao wondered how you could say it so lightly, and Zhou Sheng sent another message: "I'm used to it, just a few words of comfort. You're so uncomfortable for others now, believe it or not, you'll be slapped in the face after a few months of reconciliation.]
Yu Hao thought to himself, it seems that it is not the first time that Fu Liqun and Cen Shan have broken up. This relationship is really tiring. Fortunately, he and Zhou Sheng don't quarrel so much. Zhou Sheng asked him to go home to wash and sleep first, and prepare for the next final exam. After playing the game today, he was about to fail.
Yu Hao leaned on the sofa in the living room after taking a shower, his hair grew a lot. At midnight, Zhou Sheng carried Fu Liqun back half-carried, threw it on the sofa, went to take a shower, and washed the spit marks on his sweater.
"Brother!" Yu Hao hurriedly went to check on Fu Liqun.
Fu Liqun cried like a 1.93 meter child.
"Brother, are you all right?" Yu Hao said, "I'll pour you some water to drink."
Fu Liqun grabbed Yu Hao, opened his red drunk eyes, and said seriously to Yu Hao, "You..."
Yu Hao: "..."
"Your sister-in-law is not your sister-in-law anymore." Fu Liqun said, "Brother is still your brother..."
Yu Hao remembered the sentence "Your aunt is no longer your aunt, but your uncle is still your uncle". He felt both sad and funny. He sighed deeply, poured a glass of water for Fu Liqun, covered him with a blanket, and put him on the ground. living room. Chao Zhou Sheng told the whole process, Zhou Sheng lay on the bed and checked his mobile phone, and said, "She won't come."
Yu Hao said, "Come here for one night, maybe they will be fine."
"You think it's us." Zhou Sheng said, "You even brought a cannon to kill your grudge." He turned over and pressed Yu Hao, Yu Hao groaned, "My whole body is about to fall apart, I just finished the fight. Basketball game, can you spare me?"
"No." Zhou Sheng said solemnly, "Drinking my uncle's seahorse wine, I just don't have the strength to use it. You don't have to move, just enjoy it."
This was the first time Yu Hao had been with Zhou Sheng when he was completely exhausted. The soreness left after exercising vigorously during the day made his whole body disobedient at night, and it was extremely difficult to even raise his hands. Zhou Sheng was still full of stamina, which made Yu Hao feel ashamed, as if he had become a toy for humiliation, but the intense shock and stimulation occurred in his body, and it seemed incomparably real for a while.
When his body was in a state of extreme fatigue, his desires were out of control, as if he was out of control. That night was the time when Yu Hao completely lost control. When the sun shone in early in the morning, Zhou Sheng, who was lying on his side, showing the outline of his shoulders and back, made him lose control. He was infatuated.
"It hurts." Yu Hao's whole body was aching after a while.
"What time is it?" Zhou Sheng woke up and hurriedly took Yu Hao to take a bath. He had final exams today. Fu Liqun was still asleep on the sofa, and after being shaken awake, he jumped up violently, and rushed to the school to finish the semester.
"I think I'm going to fail the test." Fu Liqun said helplessly, "I don't know what the test is, and I'm in a daze."
Yu Hao comforted him at lunch, "Don't think so much, I think that failing a class often won't really fail."
Fu Liqun didn't wake up from a hangover. He went to the exam early in the morning. He ran into Xue Long outside the exam room, and was scolded for being drunk. When Zhou Sheng came to the cafeteria, his face was dark and his stomach was full of fire.
Yu Hao gently moved him under the table, with a questioning look in his eyes, Li Yangming also came. After a few greetings, Li Yangming said, "Zhou Sheng, I heard Teacher Xue calling your father."
Zhou Sheng was being troubled by Xue Long again, but Yu Hao was fine, and Yu Hao began to feel a little dangerous.
"I see." Zhou Shengman said nonchalantly.
Li Yangming added: "I also heard him say you and Yu Hao are together."
Yu Hao said nervously, "What did you say?"
"Say... uh..." Li Yangming thought for a while, but didn't dare to speak.
"Just say it." Yu Hao said, "It doesn't matter."
Li Yangming said: "Say, classmates reported that you two often huddled together on the same bed in the dormitory, sleeping with each other in your arms..."
Yu Hao thought that he had really underestimated Xue Long. If Xue Long only said "they are gay", maybe Zhou Laichun would not necessarily believe him, but would explain it with good brotherhood, saying, "It's okay for a child to have a good relationship, Teacher Xue. Misunderstood." That's it. But Xue Long is well versed in the essence of rumor making, only describing the details, not drawing conclusions, let Zhou Laichun disgust the facts and behaviors himself. In fact, Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng rarely slept together in the dormitory. After all, the bed was too small. Yu Hao was always afraid of pushing Zhou Sheng down.
Zhou Sheng picked up the dishes indifferently, and said, "He can see clearly. He peeps from the balcony every night."
Li Yangming smiled awkwardly. Yu Hao thought to himself that Zhou Laichun had been a soldier before, which might lead to two possibilities. One: He could understand, understand and respect them both. Two: He is homophobic, especially disgusting.
"What else did you say?" Zhou Sheng asked again.
Li Yangming: "When he saw me, he stopped talking."
Yu Hao said "En", but the four of them didn't say a word for a while and ate quietly, each with his own thoughts. Fu Liqun looked like a zombie today, and he didn't eat much if he ate very little.
"Are you going to perform at the school celebration party?" Li Yangming asked in a different topic.
"Yeah." Zhou Sheng replied casually.
"Is there?" Yu Hao said, "Why didn't I know?"
Fu Liqun said: "Kaikai informed me that I didn't want to go, but now I plan to participate."
Yu Hao said, "What are you doing? You haven't discussed it with me at all!"
"You can just go down and listen if you don't want to." Zhou Sheng frowned deeply and said to Yu Hao, "It doesn't matter."
Fu Liqun said: "Of course it would be better if you sing with us casually. Huang Ting and Ou Qihang will also come as special guests, the program arranged by Kai Kai."
Yu Hao: "That's fine, I'll choose a song." Anyway, he didn't practice for a few days last time. This time, a large group of people accompanied him, but it didn't matter. Thinking about it now, compared to a year ago, Yu Hao seemed to have completely controlled his life.
"Then your dad..."
"I'll deal with it." Zhou Sheng replied.
After taking the statistics test, Yu Hao was dizzy and was called to Chen Yekai's dormitory. Chen Yekai didn't force it, he just said that he didn't want to take the exam. Yu Hao was worrying about Zhou Sheng's father, and Zhou Laichun didn't call. , like a time bomb, I don't know when it will explode suddenly.
Yu Hao himself was never concerned, but he didn't want Zhou Sheng to be annoyed. They were business as usual these few days, Zhou Sheng was still smiling at him, but Yu Hao knew that Zhou Sheng had been thinking. No one in this world knows Zhou Sheng better than him - this guy usually doesn't say a word, but in fact thinks a lot.
Chen Yekai was choosing songs with Yu Hao, and after hearing Yu Hao's troubles, he said casually, "Are you going to come out?"
Yu Hao said, "What should I do?"
Chen Yekai was very relaxed: "I feel that whether you come out to your parents or not does not depend on who you fall in love with, but only what kind of life you want. It is impossible to exclude Zhou Sheng from his future. Parents, to be exact, can't exclude his father, if the family can accept you, everyone will be happy."
Yu Hao said, "I don't think it's possible. For me, the only idea is to live by our own efforts..."
Chen Yekai smiled and said, "It's just that in everyone's heart, they hope to get the support of their parents. I think Zhou Sheng is no exception."
"Yes." At this time, Yu Hao suddenly understood Zhou Sheng's mood.
Zhou Sheng always uses actions and words to express his indifference and even confrontation, but deep down he still hopes to be recognized by his family. This was something that Yu Hao often overlooked. For him, there were no relatives in the world, so it didn't matter how he lived, but Zhou Sheng was different.
"Just these two?" Chen Yekai said.
"Uh, not so good." Yu Hao said, "The college celebration is Valentine's Day."
Chen Yekai said sincerely, "This song is my heart, as long as Zhou Sheng has no opinion."
When Yu Hao returned home, he asked Zhou Sheng. Of course Zhou Sheng had no opinion. He simply nodded and continued arguing with Zhou Laichun on the other end of the phone.
The time bomb finally came, Yu Hao was sitting at the dining table, he heard Zhou Sheng arguing loudly with his father, and looked at him uneasily. He had always had a certain impression before: Zhou Sheng was a very aggressive and irritable person. But when you think about it, it's actually quite rare for Zhou Sheng to really go crazy. Most of the time, being irritable was just a kind of disguise for him to achieve his goals. There were only three people who could make him mad, Yu Hao and his parents.
Zhou Sheng glanced at it, put the phone on the speakerphone, and put it on the table.
Zhou Laichun said, "For so many years, the three of us haven't eaten together. What do you think of me, so much face?"
Zhou Sheng was on the verge of anger, he resisted his anger and said, "I said, I'm going to Australia for the Chinese New Year! The visa has been processed!"
"I'll change your booking!" Zhou Laichun said, "The first-class five-star hotel is not enough for you? Do you have to go on New Year's Eve?"
