Chapter 9: Threats
Song Zihao looked at Zhao Yujia with some anger: "What's wrong with our people? A good student like you just looks down on me, right?" Then why are you looking for me today?"
"Because I believed you wrong!" Zhao Yujia said indignantly: "I originally thought you were different from other gangsters!"
Song Zihao's face became more and more ugly, and after the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he turned around and walked towards Huang Qiang and the others.
"That's enough! You promised to fight alone!" Song Zihao didn't have the slightest hint of the insidiousness that he had inadvertently revealed before, but suddenly pushed Huang Qiang and the others aside with a kind of uneven temperament.
Huang Xu also stood up with his head covered and shouted: "The old man is not done with this kid, Song Zihao, you'd better leave it alone!"
Huang Xu, who was originally angry, calmed down after hearing this, and then looked at the onlookers not far away. After he seemed to understand something, he squatted down and said to Xia Lian, who was extremely embarrassed by the dust and footprints: "Silly X, I will make you regret coming to this school!" After speaking, he left with a group of people.
"What do you want to see!" Huang Qiang, who was also very aggrieved, did not forget to scold those onlookers, as if he wanted to save his brother's dignity in this way.
"Xia Lian, it's okay, I'll take you to the infirmary!" Zhao Yujia immediately ran up to check Xia Lian's injuries.
Xia Lian wiped the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing." Then he quickly stood up again, patted the dust off his body, and moved his aching muscles and joints.
"You're bleeding, go take a look!" Zhao Yujia said anxiously.
"Yujia, you go back first, let's take him to the infirmary. Song Zihao patted Zhao Yujia's shoulder and said softly.
Xia Lian also said to Zhao Yujia: "It's really okay, you go back with them first, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." After speaking, Xia Lian squeezed Song Zihao and the others away and walked towards the road outside the clearing. didn't take two steps, he heard Zhao Yujia's dissatisfied voice: "I don't need you to send it when I go back by myself!" and then Zhao Yujia ran into the school quickly.
"Boy, why are you in a hurry to leave!" Not long after Zhao Yujia left, Song Zihao and the others caught up with Xia Lian and hugged him by the shoulders like brothers, but the strength they used did not make Xia Lian feel friendly at all.
"You know Zhao Yujia very well, and you actually asked her to come to me. Without Zhao Yujia, Song Zihao's eyes when he looked at Xia Lian were full of hostility.
"I don't know her well, and I didn't expect to come forward with you, not to mention, I don't know you at all. Xia Lian said calmly.
"How do you speak? Brother Hao saved you today. Next to him, a Song Zihao's follower patted the back of Xia Lian's head dissatisfied, not particularly heavy, but definitely bullying and insulting. This caused Xia Lian to glance at the man with a cold look.
"Alright, be nice to our little brother. Song Zihao said in a weird manner, and then continued: "Boy, I don't care what your relationship with Zhao Yujia is, I will keep my distance from her from now on, unless I need your help." ”
"What do you mean?" Xia Lian obviously sensed the threat in Song Zihao's tone, so he asked coldly.
"You understand what I mean!" Song Zihao patted Xia Lian's face with neither heavy nor light force and said: "Zhao Yujia is mine, don't think about beating her, if you want to continue to mix in this school, just listen to me honestly and help me chase her when appropriate." If she becomes my girlfriend, I promise no one will dare touch you in this school. ”
"Hehehe, you're talking so interestingly. Xia Lian smiled and pushed Song Zihao's hand away, and said, "If you want to chase it, chase it, what's the matter with me? I can't help or anything." ”
Song Zihao was slightly stunned, and continued to smile and said: "Okay, I remember your words, you can not help me, but if I see you and her so close again, you should know what happens when you are targeted by Huang Xu and me at the same time." Also, I would like to remind you that it is best to keep a low profile in school, and people like you are lucky to stay honestly until graduation. Song Zihao tugged at Xia Lian's cheap sweatshirt while looking at it with that contempt.
No one wants to hear such a red-luo-luo threat and contempt, not to mention, Zhao Yujia is also the goddess in Xia Lian's mind, whether it is Xia Lian at this moment or Xia Lian before, they all hope that she can become their girlfriend.
Thinking of this, Xia Lian directly squeezed away Song Zihao and the others and walked towards the main road.
"This stupid-X is underwhelming, isn't it!" a follower scolded, and was about to rush towards Xia Lian.
"Forget it!" Song Zihao grabbed the man: "Help me keep an eye on him first, and check his background by the way." ”
"Brother Hao, why should we help him today!" The attendant looked at Xia Lian's back and said angrily: "For the sake of this garbage, you and Huang Xu are also involved, which is not good for us." ”
"I told Huang Xu that I won't care about it after today. That guy won't break our face with us for this. As for that kid, let Huang Xu play with him slowly. Let's go, let's eat!" Song Zihao finished speaking, and beckoned a group of people to the food street outside the school.
Xia Lian walked aimlessly on the street, thinking in his heart how to deal with Huang Xu and Song Zihao. With Huang Xu's character, he will definitely not let him go in the future, and for Song Zihao, as long as he continues to contact Zhao Yujia, he will attack him sooner or later. Although he didn't know the specific background and power of these two people, judging from their reactions today, it was definitely not small, at least it was more than enough to clean him up.
"What are you going to do now?" another voice in Xia Lian's head rang out.
"I'm thinking about it!"
"Your irritable behavior didn't solve the problem, but made more and more trouble!"
"You're so annoying, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't know what the hell you were today!"
"Are you very resilient? Look at the way we are. ”
"I also said you, why did you keep trying to control me just now, so that I could only be beaten up by those bastards and couldn't fight back. ”
"I'm protecting our own bodies, how many times can you bear it, it's not that I'm desperately protecting my head, maybe I'll be in the hospital now." ”
", do you think those boys can bring us down? Do me a little bit of a disservice, and say I'll take care of everything today. ”
"Then look at what has happened? Those fists and feet hurt me!"
"Tell some!Okay, even if you're smart, what do you think about it now?"
"Let me come out first, I think. ”
"Did I stop you like that? Can't think about it now?"
"I'm hungry, I need to eat something first. ”
"I ...... Okay, you really have to thank us for being the same person, otherwise I ......"
Xia Lian's eyes changed from that coldness back to kindness, gentleness, and cowardice. After eating casually on the street, he stumbled upon an Internet café on the side of the road. Distraught, he walked in without thinking about anything.
Before he was trafficked, there was almost no such thing as an Internet café, at most it was just a game hall on the street, and the game equipment in it was only a coin-operated arcade, and the best was only a disc game console.
Even so, Xia Lian at that time often went to the game hall near the school to play for a while after school, and it should be said that most people born in the 80s and 90s have more or less such childhood experiences. At this moment, when I saw the large screen of the Internet café flashing with various game screens, I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart, and my excitement exploded instantly.
At this time, the Internet café had not yet been fully formalized, so Xia Lian paid the money and found a machine to sit down.
After the computer started, he was a little stunned, he had never heard of many game names, and he had never seen the games played by other people in the Internet café, let alone played them. After searching for a long time, he finally found the arcade simulator in the game menu and opened the KOF 97, which is still known as a classic.
The familiar slightly grainy picture and the passionate background music with a sense of age instantly soaked Xia Lian's heart, and the beautiful and pure memories of his childhood returned to his eyes.
Ten years ago, Xia Lian could be said to have reached the point of madness because of this game, in addition to the time outside the game, he usually studied the moves of various characters at home and at school.
"Hey, didn't you figure it out, why did you run around here and play a game?" another voice in my head rang out again.
"Don't make any noise, I'll relax and relax before I think!"
"You ......"
Xia Lian quickly integrated into the game, and all worries and depressions were left behind. KOF King of Fighters This kind of game was mainly suitable for arcade joystick gameplay at the beginning, and now Xia Lian is somewhat unaccustomed to the operation of the keyboard, but with childhood memories and concentration, he slowly became familiar with it.
"Damn, there are still people playing 97!" I don't know how long I played, and an unfamiliar voice sounded behind me.
"Brother, know the goods!" The stranger patted Xia Lian's shoulder very familiarly and said, "I haven't seen anyone play this for a long time, brother, let's play two together?"
Xia Lian turned his head to look at him in a bit of a daze, this boy was about the same age as Xia Lian, his slightly dark skin and enthusiastic smiling face inadvertently revealed a sense of intimacy, a clean sportswear and a short hairstyle also gave people a sunny feeling, I can't say why, he gave Xia Lian a good first impression, and he wouldn't be disgusted with playing with him.
"Yes, but, can we be together on the computer?" Xia Lian asked with an ignorant expression.
"I'll go, you don't know about this!" the boy said, patting the shoulder of a person who was playing hard next to him, and said in a casual and commanding tone: "You change places to play, let me here!"
The man ripped off his headphones in anger and wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw the person's appearance, he immediately froze his movements.
"What are you doing, hurry up!" the boy continued, pulling the stunned man up in his seat. This move made Xia Lian's impression of him lose a lot of points, which was too domineering.
The boy didn't mind at all, sat down and smiled excitedly, and opened the game: "Hahaha, finally let me see a like-minded friend, do you know, as long as this game is launched from the online platform, you can PK with others." ”
In Xia Lian's bewildered eyes, the boy quickly connected the game.
"Alright, let's pick someone. After the boy helped Xia Lian to complete the operation, he also quickly made a choice and arrangement order on the list of characters, and the selected characters were Nikaido Hong-Maru, Daimon Goro and Kusa Pheasant Kyo in order. This is a relatively random choice, and perhaps it is also a reflection of the master's carefulness about himself.
Xia Lian didn't think too much about it, and chose the three characters he was best at: Terry, Liana, and Yagami.
The boy flashed a look of excitement.
At the beginning of the first game, the opponent's Hong-Maru launched a brave attack, and Terry, who was operated by Xia Lian, immediately fell into the defense, and in a short time, one-third of his blood was consumed.
The boy continued to intensify his offensive and launched a move similar to the Electric Light Poison Dragon Drill, Xia Lian seized this gap and used Terry's reverse leap roundhouse kick to quickly crack Hong-Maru's attack.
