Chapter 1 The First Arrival
At the end of June, the flower city is hot and humid, and walking in it is like being in a steamer, which is extremely uncomfortable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although Lou Cheng can run the ice energy and dissolve the heat, he can't change the humidity of the surrounding air, he only feels that his skin is sticky and his pores are not "breathing", so he can't wait to find a place to take a shower immediately.
"It's a one-tier, one-family design, with good privacy, and it's not far from our Dragon Tiger Club, about 20 minutes by car. A long-haired girl in a white shirt and light gray skirt and sandals turned her head to explain.
Her name is Ouman, and she is a staff member sent by the Dragon and Tiger Club to the airport to greet Lou Cheng, with healthy skin color, soft and beautiful facial features, and natural slightly upturned eyes.
"It's ok. Lou Cheng carried his bags on his back, dragged the trolley suitcase, glanced left and right, nodded slightly, and then followed Auman into the ladder with his card, feeling a burst of coolness.
Auman pressed the sixth floor, and looked at the famous Tianjiao with a soft smile:
"The water and electricity and various expenses here are responsible for the club, don't worry about Mr. Lou, if you encounter any problems, you can directly find the property, the property can't solve it, call me ......"
While speaking, the elevator stopped on the sixth floor, the area outside the door is not small, there are sofas, round tables, bonsai and other things, like a waiting hall, and the decoration style of the house is cold and hard, mainly black, gray, silver and white, etc., quite modern industrial atmosphere.
It is more than 200 square meters, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a dining room, a living room, and a clean and tidy kitchen.
"I live alone, there's no need to make it so big, right?" Lou Cheng laughed.
He originally thought it was just a two-bedroom apartment of seventy or eighty square meters.
Auman smiled lightly: "Everyone is the same, you can't be specialized." ā
"Everyone?" Lou Cheng's heart moved, and he asked with interest.
"It's the inhuman powerhouses of the club's 'preparatory group'. Auman's eyes turned smart, and he replied with a friendly attitude, "But there are not many people who still live in this community, some have bought their own houses and moved out, some are in other cities, follow other teams, and compete in the second or third level of professional competitions, and some are old and turn to management and be responsible for the club's related industries, by the way, Mr. Lou, do you know how to drive?"
"Yes, but I don't have a driver's license. Lou Cheng didn't hide it.
"Then a driver will pick you up tomorrow morning, at 8:15, southeast gate, I asked him to contact you in advance. Auman happened to walk to the window and pointed to the artificial garden road outside, "There is a specially separated hidden area, you don't have to run too far for morning exercise." ā
"The supporting facilities here are quite complete...... "Lou Cheng praised with satisfaction.
"As the top martial arts force in the country, the club still doesn't know your needs? These are all carefully selected!" Ou Man smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Let's get to know each other again, Ou Man, two years after graduation, a member of the 'assistant group' of the Dragon and Tiger Club, you can only have a special assistant after you are promoted to Waigang, as for now, our 'assistant group' is in charge of it." ā
Lou Cheng politely stretched out his hand to shake her lightly, and asked thoughtfully:
"In other words, I belong to the club's 'reserve group'?"
"That's right, the 'reserve group' doesn't count you at the moment, there are five strong people, two of them live in this 'Tiandu Garden', you can see them tomorrow morning. Auman replied truthfully.
Five non-humans? This is not counting those who went to other teams for actual combat training, not counting those who are old and hopeless...... The number of non-humans in the Dragon Tiger Club is terrifying...... It's no wonder that the Ice God Sect, Haiximen, and others united to form the Wu Yue Society, so that they could barely compete with them...... Lou Cheng was secretly speechless.
Auman introduced other situations, until a message came in from his mobile phone, and after a glance, he exclaimed in a low voice:
"It's so late......"
The subway is coming to a halt!
Blame the plane for being delayed for hours!
She raised her head again and tried to make her smile natural: "Mr. Lou, it's not early, you can rest first, if there is anything, you can ask me on WeChat or phone." ā
"Okay. Lou Chengzheng couldn't wait for the other party to leave.
Auman left the key, electronic card and other things, waved his hand, and walked to the door, just opened it, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked: "Mr. Lou, we will arrange for the cleaning staff to come over regularly to clean and clean up? How many days do you want to do it, what time period?"
"Once every two days, when I'm not around. Lou Cheng pondered the next road.
"Got it. Auman changed into his sandals, smiled goodbye, and closed the door.
Out of the elevator, her reserved pace gradually accelerated, and later, she ran in small steps, running like the wind.
Finally, she caught the last subway and found her place.
Auman let out a long breath, and her whole body relaxed, but after she leaned over and pinched her sore calf a few times, a sudden wave of sadness swelled up.
When I go to work, I have a car back and forth, and I come into contact with strong people with very high incomes, as if I am living in a glamorous upper class, and after getting off work, I am no longer the assistant of Ou, but I squeeze the subway, eat fast food, share a room with others, and live in a small space with a bed, a table and a cabinet.
The salary of the Dragon Tiger Club for ordinary assistants is not too bad, but in the big city, you can only live and slowly save money......
When is this kind of life a head......
............
In the spacious room, Lou Cheng used his mobile phone to record the surrounding scenes and broadcast live to his daughter-in-law.
"How's it going? not bad?" he asked, with a slight hint of interest.
On the other side of the screen, Yan Zheke, who was dressed in a pretty white practice uniform, put down his milk, pursed his lips and smiled: "The pattern is okay, but the decoration style is too cold." ā
"Well, when you come over during the winter vacation, we will go to see the house, in the next five years, ten years, most of them will have to live in Huacheng, buy early, and have their own home early. Lou Cheng said half-bewildering, half-imaginative.
"Why wait for me to come and buy it?" Yan Zheke blinked, dimples looming.
"This kind of thing must be the master's decision!" Lou Cheng replied without hesitation.
There is a lesson to be learned from the past!
The house at home, in the end, was made by my father, and my mother was generally satisfied, but how could the world be perfect, whenever this time came, it was the day when my father was nagged.
On the other hand, the decoration basically reflects the intention of the mother, and although there are regrets, she can't find anyone to complain, so she can only say a few words occasionally.
Yan Zheke understood this twist, listened with a smile, and nodded "seriously":
"Your aesthetics, I'm really not at ease!"
"What's wrong with my aesthetics? How beautiful my little fairy is!" Lou Cheng beat the snake with the stick, and skillfully said love words.
"You are called a fool and you must have a thousand thoughts!" Yan Zheke smiled and pursed his lips, turning his head to look to the side.
"Then Ke Xiaoke, are you considered a wise man, and there must be a mistake in a thousand thoughts?" Lou Cheng smiled and said to himself.
Yan Zheke looked around, saw Aunt Du go to the garage, raised his chin, and refused to cooperate:
"No, my orange brother is so good~!"
I've got a good eye!
I'm a wise man who can't make mistakes!
Lou Cheng smiled when he heard this, and after flirting and scolding a few words, he turned to say: "I listened to the assistant just now, the club specially assigned me a chef who cooks Xingsheng cuisine, and I can eat there in the morning, noon and evening in the future, and I don't have to be busy anymore when I come back." ā
"Hey, don't you like cooking very much?" Yan Zheke snickered.
"What I like is cooking with little fairies. Lou Cheng said with a smile, "If you are alone, you can cook for two hours, wash dishes for half an hour, and eat for only ten minutes, what a waste!"
"yes......" Yan Zheke nodded in agreement.
Before she finished speaking, her eyes lit up and she blurted out:
"You eat so much, how can ten minutes be enough? You liar!"
"......" Lou Cheng was speechless for a while, and it took a long time to answer, "Won't I just make an analogy...... Comprehend the spirit, comprehend the spirit ......"
At this time, Aunt Du came in and urged the girl to change her clothes, Yan Zheke hurriedly drank the last sip of milk, ended the video, and walked up to the second floor with light steps.
She didn't have classes in the morning, but she had to go to the classroom at ten o'clock to discuss the group report, and Lou Cheng called her mother, reported the situation of the residence, washed up and lay on the bed.
"I'm in Huacheng!" Before going to bed, he sent a message to Jiang Fat.
This guy is studying at university in Guangnan Flower City!
"I'm going back to Xiushan!" Jiang Fei replied with a "wicked smile", "Just kidding, I'm just waiting for you to come over and invite me to have a good meal, when will I make an appointment, my high-speed rail ticket the day after tomorrow?"
"I'll talk about it tomorrow, I haven't reported yet, I don't know what the club is arranged. Lou Cheng didn't promise casually.
Ending the chat, he said goodnight to Yan Zheke, he locked the mobile phone screen, and plunged the master bedroom into darkness.
It's not that Lou Cheng hasn't been to a different place before, but except for Xiushan and Songcheng, he knows clearly in his heart that it was just a short stay and he would leave soon.
And this time, I will take root here, sprout here, grow here, and belong to this city for the next five, ten, or twenty years.
Lacking a sense of belonging, and the future is very long, Lou Cheng inexplicably has a bit of sentimentality and melancholy, full of unreal taste.
This is my "hometown" for the rest of my life?
A similar feeling, he had it the night he first arrived in Songcheng, but there was more than one person in the dormitory, and the excitement quickly diluted everything, and now it was only himself.
Alone in a foreign land as a stranger.
............
Early the next morning, Lou Cheng got up on time, went to the specially separated field, and found a relatively hidden location to temper.
At eight o'clock, he put on an ordinary backpack and came to the southeast gate of "Tiandu Garden", where he saw the silver-gray business car that came to pick him up, and saw Auman waiting at the door with obvious bags under his eyes.
This van is very spacious, with two rows facing each other, each with a table, separated by a Xiaoice box and a bar.
A man and a woman were already sitting opposite, their eyes sweeping over Lou Cheng as if they were substantively.
"Let me introduce you, and you will be teammates in the 'Reserve Group' from now on. Auman said with a bright smile.
