During the Snowstorm - Chapter 28
Lin Yiyang placed clubs one by one. He’ll get used to putting the new club on the left because it’s close to the table and people get used to taking it first. And he himself always used the one on the far right, the oldest one.
This is also the habit of Mr. He, including the habit of looking for the soon-to-be-expected Qiaofans and giving the new ones to the juniors, which is also the habit of the teacher.
Mr. He has been respected in the circle for many years, just because he abides by the principles, loves the younger generation, and can follow such a teacher is an honor in itself…
After Lin Yiyang rearranged the cues, he looked at the phone thrown on the table. His little fruit had a reply.
RedFish: Good. three times.
RedFish: Ten times is fine.
RedFish: Just kidding. I have a good temper, I don’t like to get angry, I just buy something delicious and give it a go, I’m sure I’ll forget it within half an hour.
After this sentence, she posted a dynamic picture of a cartoon bear, a pink bear holding a fruit.
Eating naively, eating, and eating…
Lin Yiyang’s thumb touched the picture.
I wanted to laugh, but in the end I did.
***
Seeing that Lin Yiyang couldn’t come back, she started to pack up the dirty clothes she brought back from Washington.
Dirty clothes were taken out, and inside was an unopened plastic box with a pink Apple charging cable. Behind him, the roommate who lived with him happened to swipe his card to enter the door, and watched Yin Guo smiling at a box of charging cables.
Limited edition? laugh so happy?
“You can still laugh, you all went to the purgatory group.” The roommate sighed.
When the result of the lottery came out, 70% of Yin Guo’s team were fighters, all of whom were the highest ranked people in the world. Thinking about it, they shuddered, it was like a purgatory team.
Yin Guo didn’t think anything, and put away the charging cable: “We have to meet them anyway, so it’s good to meet them in advance.”
If the goal is the final champion, it will be the same for everyone in the group stage.
She checked that it was still early, took the cue, and went back to the hotel ballroom.
After the youth group and the youth group ended the game this week, Beicheng did not reserve any more venues, and only reserved a personal table for each contestant for a week. It was too late, half of the tables in the ballroom were empty, and the other half didn’t have people from Beicheng. There were players from all over the world.
Coincidentally, Cheng Yan from Dongxincheng was training at the table, and she was also a veteran who had both nine and eight goals.
Yin Guo didn’t know her, so she didn’t say hello.
The two were at peace with each other at first, each practicing their own.
After half an hour, Yin Guo ran out of smart powder on the table, so she went to the carton by the window to find a new one. When she came back, Chengyan just closed the game, put down the pole and smiled at her: “I heard that you are in the purgatory group, are you nervous?”
Yin Guo smiled politely: “It’s okay.”
“Listen to my junior brothers, you and Lin Yiyang are very familiar?”
Very familiar, these two words are a bit strange, but Yin Guo still replied: “Yes.”
“Is he all right here?”
This question seems even more strange.
“It’s very good. I graduated with a master’s degree this year and got an offer to study for a Ph.D.,” she said.
Chengyan didn’t ask any more questions and started another round.
Yin Guo felt a lump in her heart. No one said anything, she just felt weird.
She simply put down her cue and sat on the pool chair beside her. After thinking about it, she said it bluntly.
Xiaoguo: I ran into Chengyan in the ballroom, and she asked if you were okay.
What would he say, she guessed. Lin Yiyang responded almost in seconds—
Lin: So late, still practicing?
Completely ignores the main content.
She just had to follow along.
Xiaoguo: There’s nothing to do anyway, let’s practice.
Lin: Don’t overtrain.
Xiaoguo: Only half an hour, not much.
Yin Guo slowly typed out a sentence: Did you know her well in the past? I read it again and deleted it. Can you be familiar with a ball room? Intuitively, there must be something, and I don’t know if it counts as jealousy. She sat sullenly on the billiard chair.
A minute later, Lin Yiyang sent a sentence first—
Lin: She chased after me.
No wonder…
Another one followed.
Lin: Xiao Guoer.
Xiaoguo: Hmm.
Lin: The first time I saw you, I wanted to know you.
See you for the first time…
What is he saying?
Lin: At the bar, outside the window, I want to meet you when I see you. Not in the past. I wanted to talk to you at RedFish that day, but I was completely inexperienced and couldn’t talk to girls, so I could only invite you to drink.
This is the longest sentence Lin Yiyang has ever written to her.
Unexpectedly, there was no sign.
She read the line three times. Looking back on that day, what he said, what he did, and his actions, he couldn’t see it at all, and there was no clue.
A dozen paces away, everyone was playing billiards, no one was talking, and there was a constant sound of pockets.
An episode in the middle of the night led to a heartfelt sentence from Lin Yiyang. It came so suddenly that Yin Guo’s fingers were sore when he held the phone, and he thought about it a lot.
Shake again. She thought it was Lin Yiyang again.
It doesn’t matter: what about the hotel ballroom?
Xiaoguo: How do you know?
It doesn’t matter: what do you think?
The ball room door was pushed open.
Wu Wei came down from the room wearing white hotel slippers. Because of the start of the game next week, Wu Wei was asked by Jiang Yang to stay in a hotel on the schedule day. Naturally, he could be kicked by Lin Yiyang so quickly to put out the fire.
“Junior sister is here.” Wu Wei said cheerfully.
Chengyan smiled: “I’m leaving. Why are you here?”
“I haven’t slept for a long time, come and have a look,” he pretended not to know, and pointed at Yin Guo, “I’ll introduce to you, this is Yin Guo, your sixth brother’s wife.”
Dongxincheng has long spread. It’s just that Chengyan couldn’t get through it, so she avoided this identity in front of Yin Guo.
After Wu Wei introduced it like this, she had no choice but to hide: “It turned out to be from Brother Six. Sister-in-law, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Yin Guo also smiled: “I’m younger than you, call me Yin Guo.”
In this delicate atmosphere, Wu Wei felt that he was suffering in place of Lin Yiyang. Cheng Yan felt uncomfortable, she said she went back to sleep, grabbed the club and left.
As soon as the people left, Wu Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned against the table and lowered his voice: “It’s quite a coincidence. We have so many people in Dongxincheng, but you ran into Chengyan.”
“It’s normal. If you don’t meet it today, you will meet it on the field.” Yin Guo’s face was almost overwhelmed.
Wu Wei smiled: “I’ll give you a vaccination in advance. Lin Yiyang has been handsome since he was a child, and you know that when he was studying, everyone looked at his face the most. In the past, many people chased him in Dongxin City, and there were eight out of ten. .Listen to me, people chase after you, so what if you still miss him? You can’t put your tail up? You’re the only one who let him fall.”
After I finished speaking, I thought about it, but I was still worried, and added: “He was still chasing after him.”
After thinking about it, he was still worried, and added: “He still misses it as soon as he sees it.”
Seeing the smile in Yin Guo’s eyes, Wu Wei added another sentence: “Do you know what his remarks on WeChat are for you?”
She shook her head.
Wu Wei said: “RedFish.”
It was the bar, the bar where the two met.
A big man who does his own way can do this, and his intentions can be seen.
Yin Guo was on the billiard chair, his two feet kept tapping on the small beam under the billiard chair, his heart was so soft.
“Happy? Go eat fried chicken wings when you’re happy.” Wu Wei threw the ball on the table and dragged Yin Guo away, “I came up last night, and I took a look around, it’s really nice to have a home. “
That night, Wu Wei was simply taking advantage of the fire, vividly portraying Lin Yiyang’s past when he was chased in Dongxin City. Yin Guo ate a large plate of fried chicken wings with a drink, which seemed to be dipped in vinegar.
So Wu Wei came to demolish the platform, or came to save the field?
***
Going into the group stage matches from Tuesday.
This time around the world signed up for the Open, and 318 people were selected, including 109 female players, of which 7 were from China.
In the so-called “Purgatory Group”, there is only one player from China, Yin Guo. It is her first time to participate in the professional level competition. Although she won the third place in the youth group competition, she is not favored by the outside world.
By Friday.
The spectators who watched the Open all remembered a name, Yin Guo from the Chinese Legion.
The purgatory group was the most exciting group in the group stage. Every day, someone was eliminated, and if they lost, they were eliminated. Yin Guo fought a **** road all the way to the last game of the group stage on Friday.
On Friday, Yin Guo had three matches.
In the two games in the morning, Yin Guo defeated a veteran Russian player with an astonishing 11-3 score, and then took the lead with a big score of 11-4 and defeated the Polish player. When she returned to the Chinese players’ lounge, almost all of them applauded and congratulated, not only from Beicheng, but also from Dongxincheng and other domestic clubs.
Yin Guo smiled modestly.
Many players come alone, with at most one coach by their side, and only a few big clubs and clubs come as a team. The people in Dongxincheng are lively, in the east of the gate, get together to chat; the people in Beicheng are quiet, no matter who wins or loses, they all get together to deal with their own emotions.
The people from Beicheng are the innermost.
Yin Guo was alone, found a small stool, facing the wall and facing away from everyone in the lounge, holding a box of pre-prepared fruits and freshly heated sandwiches, looking for a song with headphones on, Listen, eat lunch in silence.
The phone is not around, it’s in the bag.
This week is the competition week. Lin Yiyang is afraid of disturbing her competition and training, so she will spend ten minutes chatting with her when she is about to go to bed at night. Even if they talk, they will not mention the content of the game.
With a white plastic fork, he pulled the fruit inside and picked the mango. Yin Guo put a small piece of mango between his teeth and slowly built himself mentally.
She wanted to win so badly, it was dangerous.
Not being emotional is her greatest strength.
But she desperately wanted to be in the quarterfinals so she could play tomorrow, on Saturday. On Saturday… maybe Lin Yiyang has a chance to come and see.
Yin Guo lowered her head again, and pulled, looking for strawberries. Sandwiches are also nibbled and chewed slowly.
She has a very own set of eating philosophy on the field. Chewing slowly can help soothe her emotions. Eating five minutes full will not put too much burden on the stomach, so as to avoid a game, in case of a nervous stomachache, it will pull the hind legs. .
The door to the lounge was pushed open.
A man came in.
Wu Wei originally had Erlang’s legs crossed and was talking nonsense with Chen An’an and a bunch of children. When he saw the people who came in, he almost jumped up from the chair. First Wu Wei, then everyone in Dongxincheng.
Leaning on the armrest of the sofa, Jiang Yang was chatting with the two girls who stopped in the group stage, and he also stopped. He still had the standard attitude of being the boss of Dongxincheng on his lips, but his eyes were trembling slightly.
Jiang Yang’s first action was to touch a cigarette. He remembered that he was indoors and couldn’t smoke, so he took a deep breath from his chest, and his eyes were all wet at some point: “Is the old sixth back?”
In the depths of Lin Yiyang’s pupils, something floated up and down, like tears, but not like tears. He lowered his head and smiled, reluctantly pressing down the thing that rushed to his eyes: “Yes, I’m back.”
Really to cross this hurdle, all languages are poor.
Lin Yiyang is back.
At this time, the brothers in the past seemed to have seen Lin Yiyang who was a teenager before he played.
That handsome, angular face never smiled, always walking around the lounge in a pair of denim trousers and a white short-sleeved top. He is too troublesome and restrained. He doesn’t change his clothes when he doesn’t play. He sits among a group of men in shirts and trousers in the lounge, which is very eye-catching.
Don’t talk to people, don’t listen to them, go in and say hello, find a corner of a bench to sit, and wait for the game.
Today, too.
Dongxincheng is from top to bottom, from big to small, from male to female.
They put down their lunch and mobile phones, pushed aside their chairs, and all stood up one after another.
“Sixth brother” and “Sixth uncle” kept calling…
Lin Yiyang patted the shoulders of a few children who were standing close, glanced at the arena, and walked towards the corner of Beicheng.
There were a bunch of coaches who knew Lin Yiyang, and they talked to each other and explained to the players they brought in the simplest language: This is the man who cut Jiang Yang and Meng Xiaodong back then.
And this man walked over to Meng Xiaodong’s sister at this time.
Everyone in the lounge looked over. Including Seung Yeon.
She thought it was listening to a song and heard a sentence she liked, her lips were pursed, and the dimples on her face didn’t even smile.
I vaguely heard a few words of “sixth brother” behind him, and thought it was Meng Xiaodong.
Someone patted Yin Guo on the shoulder behind her, she held a small piece of strawberry with a fork, and whispered, “Brother, I seem to want to win too much, I want to enter the finals, and I want him to watch me compete…” Thinking about it makes me very discouraged , it’s really masculine.
With one hand, take off her left earphone.
The man she was whipping in her heart had bent down at the moment, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, looked at her profile, and teased her: “What do you call me? Brother?”
Yin Guo turned her head sharply, she felt her heartbeat was about to stop, all the blood in her body was rushing to her head, she was dizzy, really dizzy…
And let no one play…
