"Lele, do you really plan to do without Dongzi's brother?"

When he heard Qi Yao ask this, Le Mingxiao was silent, he clenched his mobile phone, did not make a sound, and after a stalemate with each other for dozens of seconds, Qi Yao spoke again: "Lele, come out and get together, if you have anything to say, you can say it yourself." ”

"Okay," Le Mingxiao said, his tone was as usual, "It just so happens that our club hasn't had an event for a long time, and you can come if you want to come when the time comes, and the work party will not be delayed." ”

"Lele ......"

"That's it, Brother Yao will see you then!"

After saying this, without waiting for any reaction on the other side of the phone, Le Mingxiao quickly ended the call. He tossed his phone aside, his expression showing a little tiredness.

He knew that Qi Yao was for his good, for the sake of the overall situation, after all, he and Bian Xiangdong were still in the same company, and they had come all the way from the game, if he and Bian Xiangdong continued to stalemate, then their small team of five would be equivalent to dispersing, but it had reached the point where he was willing to retreat, but he was afraid that Bian Xiangdong would not be willing. Yan Duo is right, no matter how well the broken mirror is glued, the cracks will still exist, but since Qi Yao has mentioned it, he can't waste a piece of his good intentions, so what should be done is still to be done.

Thinking like this, Le Mingxiao took his mobile phone and began to contact the club's manager to discuss matters related to planning activities.

Five days later, on a Saturday morning, a friendly team match was about to be held at the base camp of the Fat Fat Table Tennis Club. The two foreign players, both former world champions who have retired, split the star players who will participate in the tournament into red and blue teams, and each of them as coaches will lead a team.

The first floor of the club is the event hall, and the second floor is the tea house, and for this event, the two private rooms were specially rearranged as the lounges of the two teams. Le Mingxiao came back after styling, but today is a sports-related event, and he just put on a simple makeup and wore clothes provided by a sports brand.

When he went to the lounge on the second floor, Qi Yao and Jiang Yue had already arrived, chatting with the coach who was in charge of leading their team. The coach's surname is Chen, who once dominated the world table tennis arena, and after retiring, he served as the director of the table tennis center and the coach of the men's team in a provincial team.

It's not the first time I've met this coach, and after meeting, it's natural to have a pleasantry. After chatting a few words, Qi Yao suddenly glanced at Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue understood, and said to the coach: "Director Chen, why don't we two go down first to familiarize ourselves with the venue." ”

These Le Mingxiao saw it in his eyes, and after the two of them went out, the smile that was originally hanging on the corner of his lips suddenly changed, Qi Yao glanced at him, and said, "Le Le......"

"Brother Yao, I know what you're going to say," Le Mingxiao quickly interrupted Qi Yao's words, "It's just that you shouldn't say these things to him?"

His expression was indifferent, and his tone was a little rejecting thousands of miles away, such Le Mingxiao was completely unfamiliar to Qi Yao, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said: "Lele, although I don't know the whole story, but we know your character, if you are not forced to be ruthless, you will never go to the last step, but have you thought about it, how difficult it is for the five of us to get to where we are today, you and Dongzi are missing, it is not what we want to see." ”

"Of course I understand this!" Le Mingxiao suddenly got up, his voice raised involuntarily, "It is precisely because I understand everything that I will back down again and again, but what about him? When he united with Ren Chaoyuan to harm me, did he think about me, even if he still cared about brotherhood a little, the two of us would not have come to such an irreparable point today!" He calmed down his excited feelings, looked at Qi Yao, and showed a trace of sadness in his eyes, " Brother Yao, there are some things that everyone knows, and I can feel those things in the past even if I am stupid, but I don't want to think about it, because I am afraid of losing this good brother who has been friends for many years, and I am afraid of losing you, but there is always a limit to everything, and he shouldn't be so insatiable. ”

"......" Looking at Le Mingxiao's resolute appearance, Qi Yao was silent, and only sighed for a while, and finally refused to give up and said, "Lele, is there really no room for recovery?"

"......" Le Mingxiao was a little unbearable for a while. From the beginning of the competition of the Xingsheng Battle that year, he, Bian Xiangdong, Qi Yao, Jiang Yue, and Li Xin, because the five of them had similar interests and talked about each other, gradually formed a small group, and Qi Yao has always been the backbone of this group. Although Qi Yao is not the biggest among them, he is definitely the most mature one, there are always bumps and bumps when the five of them get along, and every time Qi Yao tries to resolve some daily small frictions, he has a lot of worries in order to maintain the relationship between the five people, so looking at Qi Yao's embarrassed appearance, Le Mingxiao's heart softened again.

He said: "Brother Yao, you know me, if he is willing to sit down and have a good talk, I can back down." ”

Qi Yao was stunned again, he seemed a little surprised by Le Mingxiao's decision, he got up and walked in front of Le Mingxiao, suddenly hugged the other party, and patted him on the back with one hand.

"Lele, I've wronged you. ”

Le Mingxiao has always eaten soft rather than hard, Qi Yao's sudden move, like a brother coaxing his younger brother, made Le Mingxiao's nose sour, and tears were about to fall, he buried his face on Qi Yao's shoulder and muttered: "Brother Yao......"

Suddenly, someone pushed the door in, interrupting Le Mingxiao's words, Qi Yao let go of him, and the two looked in the direction of the door.

The person who pushed the door in was Bian Xiangdong, and when he saw this scene in the room, his movements suddenly froze, one hand was still on the doorknob, and the expression on his face was not exciting, but Li Xin, who was following him, poked his head directly and said with a smile: "Lele Ah Yao, what are you talking about, can we join?"

As he spoke, he pressed his hands on Bian Xiangdong's shoulders and pushed the person into the house all the way, Qi Yao didn't answer his question, but pointed to him and said, "Brother Xin, you haven't changed your clothes yet?"

"It's not," Li Xin scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassed, "I got up late in the morning, and I didn't even have time to put on makeup." ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to the dressing room. ”

"Okay. Li Xin responded, and said to Le Mingxiao, "Lele, I'll come to you to play after I finish my makeup." ”

"Well, Brother Xin, go ahead. Le Mingxiao also smiled, and saw Qi Yao go out with Li Xin.

There were only two people left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold, so cold that it was suffocating. Le Mingxiao retracted his gaze, sat down on the sofa, looked at the person opposite with a quiet face, but did not speak, he was waiting for Bian Xiangdong to speak first, he thought that he had a reason to wait for the other party to speak first.

However, Bian Xiangdong just moved his mouth, and after all, he didn't say anything, and even began to avoid Le Mingxiao's eyes.

And so it was. Le Mingxiao hooked the corners of his lips, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile, he still looked directly at the other party, and said: "Brother Yao, they have a lot of kindness, don't embarrass everyone outside later, especially in front of the media, what to say and what not to say, you know." ”

"......" Bian Xiangdong was silent for a long time, and finally only nodded slightly.

The event officially began, since it is a friendly match, then whether it is the form of the game or winning or losing is not so important, the main purpose is to promote the sport of table tennis, and the organizers have also set up a public welfare project, the prize money obtained in the game will be donated to the Bamboo Dragonfly Charity Fund to help those deaf and dumb children, and the losing side will go to the deaf school founded by the Bamboo Dragonfly Fund to do volunteer work for a week.

The first two games are singles, the two sides have won and lost each other, after all, everyone is an amateur, the ball is not as exciting as professional athletes, but there is more fun, the scene is full of laughter, a joyful atmosphere.

The third match was doubles, and the red team sent a combination of Le Mingxiao and Bian Xiangdong. However, as soon as these two people got on the field, the people around them began to feel that something was not quite right. Although the expressions of the two look quite normal, there is no communication between each other, let alone cooperation, basically fighting themselves, and during the break, they also drink water silently or wipe their sweat with a towel, and they seem to ignore each other's storage at all, and the atmosphere on the scene is like condensation, so embarrassing that people want to run away directly.

The result can be imagined, the doubles combination of the red team was cut by the opponent by 3:0, and even almost ate zero eggs in one game. Looking at the situation on the field, Qi Yao, Jiang Yue, and Li Xin looked at each other, and at the same time sighed silently in their hearts, their efforts really didn't have any effect.

Le Mingxiao and Bian Xiangdong were obviously out of shape, and the red team of the last five lost the game without any suspense. At the end of the event, when no one noticed, Le Mingxiao said to Qi Yao: "Brother Yao, I'm sorry, I still failed your kindness." ”

Hearing Le Mingxiao say this, and then thinking of the atmosphere on the field, Qi Yao understood that these two people had never talked about it at all, he just patted Le Mingxiao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's nothing Lele, originally we were too embarrassed for you." ”

"......" Le Mingxiao lowered his head slightly, bit his lower lip, and didn't make any more noise, Qi Yao suddenly said again, "There will be media interviews later, those reporters will definitely not let you and Dongzi go, so be mentally prepared." ”

Le Mingxiao nodded and said, "I understand......"
