Fu Liqun entered the subway from the shopping mall and was familiar with the road. He took Yu Hao to change to a shopping mall. After four stops, he found a buyer's shop in a remote place full of basketball shoes.
"Yu Hao." Fu Liqun said, "As long as you're a man, there's no one who doesn't like the shoes here!"
Yu Hao faced the pile of basketball shoes and almost passed out, thinking that I might be a eunuch...
There were only two of them in the store. The boss was a stubborn, dark-skinned, strong man wearing a basketball uniform that weighed two meters and two hundred pounds. He said to Fu Liqun, "I'm just looking at it, not buying it. Here you go again?"
Fu Liqun laughed and said, "I want to buy it today."
Fu Liqun said to Yu Hao, "Zhou Sheng definitely likes this one."
The boss looked at Yu Hao with a look of disgust, and didn't greet them either.
Yu Hao took the pair that Fu Liqun handed over and asked, "How much is this pair?"
Boss: "The soles have a price, can't you see for yourself?"
Yu Hao thought to himself that this store was really rude, and when he saw the price on the soles, he vomited blood. A pair of basketball shoes sells for 8,300? ?
Yu Hao's expression was extremely exciting, and he whispered to Fu Liqun, "Is this an official store?"
"Buyers' shop." Fu Liqun replied.
"The shoes were bought by the boss and sold in the store?" Yu Hao said again.
The boss suddenly exploded, standing up to chase people, like a mountain: "Don't make trouble! You guys should go back, I'll close the store to buy vegetables, brothers don't have fun."
"Don't!" Fu Liqun hurriedly said, "He picked a birthday present for his boyfriend."
"It's not a boyfriend!" This time it was Yu Hao who exploded.
"Oh—" The boss had already stood up, and he sat down again after hearing this. Fu Liqun said again, "He doesn't understand, and he will fall into the pit soon."
"Then watch it slowly." The boss turned on his phone and started watching "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Yu Hao: "..."
Yu Hao knew that Zhou Sheng liked basketball shoes and various figures from anime games, but asking himself to pick a pair of shoes Zhou Sheng would like was simply blind sniping. Fu Liqun said, "Just pick a pair from this store, he will definitely like it."
Saying that, Fu Liqun picked up a pair, and after looking at it for a long time, Yu Hao said, "This pair in your hand?"
Fu Liqun put it back and said, "This shoe doesn't have his size, so I'll just take a look at it myself."
Yu Hao said, "Then... what about this pair? Huh? Nintendo?"
"NES cooperation version, black and white and red limited edition." The boss said gruffly, "Only ten pairs have been released in North America. Do you look at the size first? Can he wear a US size 10?"
"The yardage is no problem." Yu Hao saw that the price was 9,600. Ten thousand alpacas rushed over in his heart, and he was shaken. Would Zhou Sheng really like it
"Then this pair... right?" Yu Hao said, feeling that this pair of shoes was the first time in his life that he had bought such an expensive thing.
The boss took out his mobile phone to collect the payment, and found the shoe box. Yu Hao asked again, "That was a question sentence just now... Wait, I haven't fully decided yet! Are there any new ones?"
"There are only ten pairs in North America, what do you think?" the boss asked Yu Hao.
"When I didn't say it." Yu Hao hurriedly said, "Tear off the plastic wrap on it, hang the label and cut it."
"You can't go back if you cut it," the boss said.
Yu Hao said, "If he wants to retire, we won't let him retire."
Boss: "How many more feet will you step on for you?"
Yu Hao: "Then there's no need to..."
The boss ripped off the plastic wrap, cut the label, put it back in the shoe box, took a black plastic bag and put the shoe box in, Yu Hao took out his mobile phone to pay the bill to the boss, the boss handed him the bag and received the money , continue to read "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Yu Hao: "It's alright?"
Boss: "Yes, otherwise?"
Yu Hao said, "Is there an invoice?"
Boss: "Of course not! What do you think!"
Yu Hao: "..."
Fu Liqun was still looking at the shoes, and Yu Hao said again, "Then what if... it breaks?" If he thought it was fake, Zhou Sheng would hack the shop owner to death.
"There won't be any fakes—" The boss obviously knew Yu Hao's thoughts very well, "Whoever says it's fake, you can smash my shop. If you don't fight back, you can do whatever you want."
Yu Hao said embarrassedly, "I don't suspect fakes... I mean is there a warranty or something..."
"There is no warranty." The boss said, "Your boyfriend knows how to take care of himself, don't make trouble, the emperor is dead." Then he started to watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Yu Hao: "..."
Fu Liqun picked up the shoes and put them down, took them down, looked around, and finally stopped at the first pair of shoes he saw. The fact that I bought a pair of shoes that didn't even have a receipt in the shop!
"Do you still buy it?" the boss said, "The store is closed."
Fu Liqun said, "Let's go, have you bought it? Let me see this pair, Master?"
Yu Hao and Fu Liqun stood at the subway station under the shopping mall. Fu Liqun took out his shoes and sighed suddenly.
Fu Liqun: "Alas—"
Yu Hao suddenly became nervous and said, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Fu Liqun patted Yu Hao's shoulder solemnly and said, "It's good."
Yu Hao noticed that many people were looking at them.
"That..." In the subway station, a boy stepped forward and said, "Brother, can you lend me a look?"
Fu Liqun held a shoe: "Look."
The boy reached out to pick it up, and Fu Liqun stepped back a little: "I'll show it to you, look, you can only see but not touch."
Yu Hao thought to himself that there is no need for this, even if he took a shoe and turned his head and ran away, it would be useless!
"Can you take a picture?" the boy said again.
"Take a picture." Fu Liqun took the shoe and asked the boy to take a photo, "Remember to polish my skin."
The boy took a photo of the shoe and asked, "Where did you buy it?"
"A friend brought it abroad." Fu Liqun said, "There are only ten pairs in North America."
The boy nodded and walked away with envious and unwilling eyes. Fu Liqun explained to Yu Hao, "That shop only deals with regular customers, and doesn't sell anything casually."
"Oh..." Yu Hao began to realize the difference between these shoes and the boss.
"Let's go." Fu Liqun seemed a little lost, and said, "See you next week, don't be found when you go back, hide it."
Yu Hao and Fu Liqun said goodbye in front of the subway station. Fu Liqun squeezed into the subway and went to the high-speed rail station to take the car home.
Yu Hao put the shoes on, stood for a while, and then went to the store again. The boss was about to close at four in the afternoon. Seeing him coming, Yu Hao said, "I'm curious, how much are the other pairs?"
Boss: "I'm also curious to ask, how many boyfriends do you have? Can you buy them all at once?"
Yu Hao: "Not a single one! Don't ask!"
"This pair is cheap, four thousand seven." The boss said, "Count your four thousand five."
"Thank you!" Yu Hao said immediately, "Because I bought two pairs?"
"No." The boss took the money and said, "Because you have eyes like my wife, my wife's daughter, go back, be careful of being robbed on the way."
Yu Hao: "..."
Yu Hao went back to the dormitory and hid his shoes at the bottom of the closet. He was going to buy two more wrapping papers and wrap a package of gifts. He couldn't just put a black plastic bag and give it to Zhou Sheng. .
"Where did you go?" Yu Hao struck first.
Zhou Sheng: "What's the matter with you? What about you? Where have you been?"
Yu Hao said, "I've been in the bedroom."
Zhou Sheng: "Sweat all over your back, in the bedroom? Who are you lying to?"
Yu Hao had to say, "I'm taking my brother to the subway station."
"The relationship is so good." Zhou Sheng said casually, then turned over to bed, and asked, "Where do you want to go in the summer vacation?"
Yu Hao: "Isn't it a game?"
Zhou Sheng said: "The competition will be over next week."
"What about Australia?"
"Are you going to be an ice lolly in the winter?" Zhou Sheng said, "The tour will only start in November, and it may not be possible to go there, only the top three. Come on, I've booked a hotel in advance." He flipped through his phone.
"I'll think about it again." Yu Hao wanted to go to work, but today he made an impulse purchase and the money was gone.
"Have you bought a present for Kaikai?" Zhou Sheng said lazily again.
"Buying a present?" Yu Hao was very nervous now, "What gift to buy? Why did you buy him a present?"
Zhou Sheng: "He introduced you to a part-time job, but you don't thank him."
Yu Hao hurriedly said, "I gave him a red envelope. Although I don't think he needs it, he accepted it."
Zhou Sheng: "Just send a red envelope? Yu Hao, can you still get better? Why are you so careless? How much did you send?"
"888 transfer." Yu Hao said.
Zhou Sheng was satisfied and did not ask any further questions. The bedroom was very quiet, Yu Hao began to imagine Zhou Sheng's expression when he received the birthday present, would he be moved? Or will you scold yourself for buying such an expensive thing
After a short silence, Zhou Sheng said again: "I will play next week, will you come and see?"
Yu Hao: "Isn't this nonsense?"
Zhou Sheng: "Our entire class is here, Kaikai and Huang Ting are also here."
Yu Hao: "Don't have any psychological pressure, just play as usual."
Zhou Sheng: "I mean, when you receive the award, remember to lean forward a little and let them all go away, you know?"
Yu Hao laughed and said, "Okay!"
For a whole week, Yu Hao was even more nervous than Zhou Sheng, but Zhou Sheng went about his business as usual, eating, sleeping, and stewing oxtail soup in the bedroom. In July, Ying City was as hot as a stove, and the balcony was still drying in the west. Zhou Sheng looked up at the balcony and said, "You have to buy an air-conditioning fan, or you will be overheated to death."
Yu Hao didn't care, the house used to be more stuffy than the dormitory, so he was used to it. Zhou Sheng said, "Come and stay in the training hall."
Yu Hao took a part-time job online, translated two magazine manuscripts, and the editor in charge had seen the sample manuscripts and was very satisfied with him. Every day, Yu Hao carried the notebook that Fu Liqun had thrown in the dormitory, and went to the constant temperature training hall to translate. He and Zhou Sheng were the only ones in the huge training hall. Zhou Sheng trained for a while, and would come to Yu Hao's side during breaks to drink water and watch dramas.
The night before the match, Zhou Sheng took a shower and said to Yu Hao, "Would you like to sunbathe the moon?"
It was a cool night. Yu Hao handed over the translation manuscript and received 800 yuan for the manuscript fee. Mental work was indeed more valuable than physical work. In the past, standing in a coffee shop was only 120 yuan a day. He began to think that Chen Yekai was right, money was hard to earn, but it wasn't that hard to earn.
Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao were lying on the lawn of the track and field, the moon was shining on them, and the whole school was very quiet during the summer vacation.
"Yu Hao." Zhou Sheng said absentmindedly.
"What?" Yu Hao looked sideways at Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng said, "I'm a little nervous."
Yu Hao said, "Because of tomorrow's game?"
Zhou Sheng didn't speak, Yu Hao sat up and said, "I was also very nervous on the day of the academy singing. But at the time, I imagined that there was only one audience in the audience, and that was the general. So I wasn't so nervous. If you are still nervous at the time, you can imagine that I am the only one watching your game, just like I usually watch you practice..."
Zhou Sheng laughed inexplicably and replied, "Why are you always so stupid, I'm not talking about competition."
Yu Hao: "???"
Zhou Sheng: "I'm going back to the dormitory first, will you be in the sun for a while?"
Yu Hao said, "Let's go together."
Zhou Sheng didn't wait for him, got up and walked across the track and field, looking up at the moon. Yu Hao patted the grass on his body and stood up. Zhou Sheng put his sportswear in his pockets and shouted to Yu Hao across the track and field, "Yu Hao! Look at the moon!"
Yu Hao also raised his head, and Zhou Sheng said again, "The moon tonight is so beautiful!"
Yu Hao turned to Zhou Sheng, laughed, raised his head again, looked at Zhou Sheng again, looked at the moon again, with surprise in his eyes, and a little confused.
Yu Hao replied, "Yes!"
When he looked up, his profile was shrouded in warm light under the moonlight, and a gust of wind blew his short hair, forming a gentle and handsome silhouette.
