In the locker room, it was empty and quiet.

Xia Bei took a shower, changed into clean clothes, put a towel on his wet hair, and closed his eyes against the back of the chair.

The sound of the door opening was heard, then closed again.

The old crocodile stood at the door and was silent for a while before he walked to Xia Bei's side and sat down.

"How?"

Xia Bei opened his eyes, looked at the old man with a concerned face, took a long breath, and said with a smile: "It's okay." It's not as stuffy as it used to be. ”

"That's good. The old crocodile said, "I'm glad that you're still as angry as ever." ”

"Why?" Xia Bei leaned down, put his elbows on his knees, crossed his fingers, looked up at the ground in front of him, and his gaze was unfocused: "Isn't this a sign of immaturity?"

"Don't confuse anger with anger," the old crocodile patted him on the shoulder, "anger comes from self-interest and open-mindedness, while anger comes from principles and bottom lines." From everything you care about, everything you want to protect......"

As he spoke, the old crocodile smiled and looked forward with Xia Bei's gaze: "I've been a little worried. I think you're too calm and like to keep everything in your heart. Especially after going to study there, I don't know what will become of it...... Sometimes, it's better to be an angry bastard in a dungeon than to be a smart person in the world above who doesn't even have principles and bottom lines other than calculations and interests. ”

"What now?" Xia Bei turned his head to look at him.

"Now I'm relieved," said the old crocodile, "maturity is not numbness, but learning how to control and use anger." Anger is a force that proves that you are alive and not a walking corpse. You're doing better than I could have imagined. ”

As he spoke, the old crocodile took out an envelope and handed it to Xia Bei: "This is 60,000 star yuan." 10,000 is what you gave to Chen Sanfu before, and the other 50,000 is your appearance fee and bonus. ”

So much? Xia Bei was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that Chen Sanfu had made a lot of money this time, and there was also the meaning of the other party's expression, he still didn't expect the appearance fee and bonus to be as high as 50,000. This money is enough for ordinary people to live a carefree life.

Originally, in his opinion, in addition to taking back his 10,000, at most another 10,000 or 20,000 would be the sky.

Generally, a top-level black boxer fights is only a few thousand star yuan. As a lowest-level novice, if it is a boxing match that does not distinguish between life and death, it is even only a few tens of star yuan. Besides, his 10,000 yuan is compensation for Chen Sanfu for losing the boxing match, not an investment.

But now is not the time to be polite.

Xia Bei took it, opened it and took a look, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. The pleasure of the thickness of that banknote is really hard to control.

"Uncle Yu, I think this is a good thing that proves to be alive. ”

"Smack!" the old crocodile slapped him on the head in annoyance, stood up, and walked towards the door, "Alright, your friend is still waiting to see you." After a while, I arranged for a car to take you back, so don't come down if it's okay. ”

The old crocodile opened the door and walked out.

A few seconds later, the brothers entered the locker room.

Xiaodao walked up to Xia Bei, who stood up, and gave him a hug vigorously. Immediately after that, there are the little madmen and the other dragon and tiger brothers. Everyone only hugged Xia Bei silently, tightly. No one spoke. Words like thank you are far less expressive than this silence for them at this moment.

The Lynx and the Mohican youth named Zou Kai were at the end of the line. After hugging Xia Bei, the two of them didn't say a word, and slapped themselves in the face seven or eight times, causing one face to suddenly become red and swollen.

And without waiting for Xia Bei, who was stunned, to ask, they quickly lowered their heads and left.

The door to the locker room was shut, leaving only a quiet shadow.

"Actually......" Xia Bei was silent for a long time, his head lowered, his eyes slightly red, "The target of the black devil should be me." That shot missed. ”

"I know. Rouge bit her lip and wiped away the tears that were falling like beans with the back of her hand, and said, "You don't have to tell me you're sorry...... It's not your fault. Besides, you've already avenged Shi Long...... That bastard had always liked revenge, and now he must be happy. ”

There was silence again.

"So......" Xia Bei raised his head, looked at Rouge and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

He picked up the envelope from the bench: "Here are ......"

"Wait. Rouge interrupted him. She knew what he wanted to say, but she didn't want to hear him.

Rouge walked quickly to the sink in the middle of the room and washed off the heavy makeup on his face.

Throwing away the last piece of makeup remover paper, she looked at herself in the mirror, and a thin layer of blush gradually flew on her face. As if she had made up her mind, she bit her lip and walked out.

When the girl appeared in front of her again, even if Xia Bei had already seen her true face countless times, she couldn't help but lose her mind.

Those in the stands would not know that this woman who rode a red motorcycle, wore smoky makeup, was as dangerous as fire, and as ugly as a ghost, was such a beautiful and charming girl.

If it weren't for the heavy makeup, I'm afraid that the entire dungeon up and down the men would want to get her.

To this end, at any cost, no means are compromised.

I don't know why, Xia Bei found that his heartbeat suddenly appeared a reshoot. If it's on the screen of a heartbeat monitor, it's a sharply raised line.

Then he saw Rouge come up to him and look up at him.

"My name is Rouge. Rouge said.

"I know. Xia Bei smiled unnaturally, his gaze a little evasive. At this moment, he seemed to return to the day when he first met Rouge. At that time, she took her hand like this, walked into the small courtyard, washed her face and told herself her name.

"But do you know I like you?" Rouge's gaze continued to stare at Xia Bei, his gaze focused and serious.

Knock knock knock...... Xia Bei's heart is not just a remake, it's a mess. He looked into Rouge's eyes and suddenly felt his mind go blank.

If there are girls who know Xia Bei present, they will remember that when they were in the library of Handa University before, many girls said the same thing to him. And they would always see the clean boy look up from his book and answer with a warm and sunny smile, "I like you too." ”

This little smashed!

It's still a stupid little who pretends to be crazy!

And Xia Bei never thought there was anything wrong with this.

His experience and personality make him have a completely different perception of love from ordinary people.

No one knew that he came from a dark world, and no one knew that he had been dodging a wide net, trying to carefully curl himself up in a corner and live a peaceful life that did not implicate anyone.

Therefore, Xia Bei, who grew up in that situation, subconsciously and instinctively refused to understand any similar information. Under that sunny smile is a tightly wrapped heart. Sluggish as a wooden man.

But no matter how dull he was, in the face of the clear eyes of the girl in front of him, it was impossible for him to understand wrongly.

This made him suddenly have an irrepressible panic.

And Xia Bei's expression did not hide the rouge. If it were changed to other girls, she would think that Xia Bei was not interested in her, and she would laugh and take the topic away and turn it into a joke.

But rouge won't.

Long before she met Xia Bei, she fell in love with this nerd who often passed by the 11th district.

Knowing that she and the other party are people from two different worlds, but when the brother who is galloping can't get used to this guy's gaze, I don't know why, she looks at his eyes, but she feels like looking at herself in a mirror.

And these days, the clumsiness of the boy when the two get along has also made her see it a long time ago.

"What an idiot this guy is!"

Therefore, when Xia Bei's eyes began to panic at this moment, Rouge was not surprised at all. Moreover, she didn't need Xia Bei to answer to herself now. It's a lifetime for her, and there's still so much time, so many days, to get the answer.

Whether it's stormy or sunny.

"If you don't speak, I'll assume you know. ”

Rouge bit her lip, plucked up the courage to step forward and hugged Xia Bei's neck, stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed him on the mouth, and then, as before, hid behind him, grabbed his hand, and buried his slightly hot face on his back.

Xia Bei felt that his body was a little stiff, but there seemed to be an inexplicable electric current spreading in his heart.

Panicked and overgrown with weeds.

"Uh......" He pulled out a few thousand star dollars from the envelope, and then panicked and stuffed the rest of the money into Rouge's hand, "You take this money......"

Rouge silently took the envelope.

"Uh, let's ...... I think we still have to take down the garage. This is Shi Long's wish," Xia Bei stammered a little, "The streets can't be mixed anymore." There is a car repair shop, and everyone has a stable meal. Other than that...... Let's go to the Tianxing Hall in two days, and I'll introduce Meng Pan to you first......"

Xia Bei felt that his brain and tongue were knotted, and he only felt that the little head with rouge on his back couldn't help nodding.

"That'...... Let's go back. "Xia Beidao.

"Hmm. Rouge's forehead was on Xia Bei's back, and he agreed, then tilted his head and pressed his face against him, his eyes flashing, "However, I'm scared to live at home alone." ”

Xia Bei couldn't see Rouge's eyes, and he didn't understand that for women, talent in some aspects is innate. Even if it's as cold as rouge, it's no exception. Even, when her closed mind breaks into a person, she is more cunning than most women.

"That's just as well. Xia Bei frowned, thinking that Shi Long was gone, and it was really unsafe for Rouge to stay alone in that small courtyard any longer.

Killing the black devil himself, it is difficult to guarantee that Juan of the Four Seas Society will not be angry and angry. Besides, he wasn't ready to watch the dragon and tiger gallop continue to mix like this on the streets. Instead of letting Rouge see things and think about people in the small courtyard, it is better to change the environment.

"Then let's go find ......" Xia Bei thought about it, and just opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Rouge.

"I'll move to your house. Rouge blushed so much that she was about to drip water, "Don't you still have a room in your house?" Well, I think it's safe to be by your side...... Also, you said that you would go to that Celestial Hall in the future, so that we can discuss things at any time. ”

Xia Bei opened his mouth, and suddenly his scalp was a little numb.

"Good...... All right. ”
