Chapter 104: Summer in the middle of summer
Su Mohan and a few friends are relaxing at the bowling alley of the Sunamman Island Premium Leisure Club.
This Gerry friend Li Shaoyu has already knocked out ten pins directly in two rounds and completed a beautiful 'spare'. The two have already opened up the gap with the other two friends, and all that remains is to complete their own game.
Before that, the two had the same score, and if he wanted to win, he would have to knock out all ten pins in one ball, which meant that he couldn't make a mistake in completing a 'strike'.
The rules of bowling are simple, with a round of 10 squares, a grid with 2 balls, and 10 pins. Hitting as many pins as possible with the fewest shots is the rule of bowling, and it's not easy to get the ball balanced and precise on the 18-metre long bowling lane.
Su Mohan shook his neck, stood up and relaxed his arms and body with a slight tremble, then grabbed a ball from the foot ball rack, wiped it vigorously with a towel, wiped the stains on the ball, and suddenly turned his head, "Shaoyu, do you say I can win you." β
The young man who was called Shaoyu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I'll know right away." β
"Yes," listening to Shaoyu's words, Su Mohan was stunned for a moment, and laughed hehehe, although his friend's words were simple but quite reasonable, but there was a feeling worth savoring, "I'll know it right away." β
Su Mohan looked at the ball bottle nineteen meters away and looked at it intently. Hold the ball, wave your hands, walk, shoot. Everything was as beautiful as the textbook demonstrated, and he kept the ball out of his position and slid a little, watching the bowling ball float towards the pin.
Although Li Shaoyu looked indifferent, he still stared at the ball rolling on the track seriously, but only halfway through, he already knew in his heart that he had lost, he shrugged his shoulders and picked up a drink from the table and opened it and drank it.
Sure enough, not a single bottle from nineteen meters away was completely emptied.
"One more game." Li Shaoyu stood up and looked at Su Mohan, he didn't believe that there was no way to win Su Mohan once today.
"Okay." Su Mohan smiled warmly, but the mobile phone on the table suddenly jingled and remembered, "Sorry, I'll answer the phone." As he spoke, he grabbed his mobile phone and walked to the side and pressed answer, "What's wrong, Xiaoliang, is there something wrong?" β
"Brother Han, I want to ask, what is the origin of the young man we met in Mingyuan last time...... Now there are some tricky troubles, my brother was injured by that guy in Resplendor and was badly injured. β
The flat expression on Su Mohan's face gradually became serious, "Wait, what do you say slowly." I listened. Who injured your brother? β
"It's the son surnamed Xia you introduced to me that time, what is the origin?" Sun Xiaoliang's voice on the other end of the phone was hoarse, which made Su Mohan frown.
"What's wrong with him, let's make things clear."
"I don't know much about the situation, I'm in Brilliant now, my brother is now in the hospital, the broken nose bone is now lying in the hospital. It was that Xia Gongzi who started it...... What a ruthless tactic. Sun Xiaoliang's voice had a bit of gnashing of teeth, which made Su Mohan's head spin quickly.
"In this way, Xiaoliang, I am not too familiar with that person, but there are a few sides. You'd better figure out what the situation is in this matter, if it's really the other party who provokes you for no reason, you come to me again, and I'll see if I can help you. But now you haven't figured it out, so don't be hot-headed and make any impulsive moves. β
"He's still in the splendor now, if I just let him go, how can I explain to my son?" Even if he didn't stand in front of Sun Xiaoliang, Su Mohan could feel his excitement.
But Su Mohan couldn't put forward any helpful opinions at this time.
"Resplendent isn't it, you wait. I'll go over now. Remember, he's not something you can mess with! Be sure not to touch him. Su Mohan was a little heavy, although he had no direct relationship with him, but he was his acquaintance on both sides. He had a good impression of Xia Ruxuan, and he also knew the Sun family's brother, if he wanted to say that this matter would be Xia Ruxuan's fault, he would not believe it.
Although Sun Xiaoliang is pompous, he has some eyesight. And his younger brother is completely stunned, how can there be such a short-sighted person. With Xia Ruxuan's somewhat gentle temperament, I am afraid that his younger brother will understand that it is soft.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be criticized now, Sun Xiaoliang is angry, if he adds fuel to the fire again, he can't ensure that those gentlemen who follow Sun Xiaoliang take the opportunity to make Xia Ruxuan suffer a big loss, then it will be over.
That's why Su Mohan thought about hurrying over there - he wasn't worried that Xia Ruxuan would be finished, but that after Sun Xiaoliang angered Xia Ruxuan, Sun Xiaoliang would be finished. Although the friendship is not deep, he can't watch Sun Xiaoliang enter a desperate situation.
Hanging up the phone, Su Mohan shook his head, sighed helplessly, and walked back to a few friends, "I'm afraid I have something to do today, I'm afraid I'm going to leave first, let's get together another day, and I'll count it next time." β
Li Shaoyu raised his eyebrows and laughed, "We haven't finished playing three wins in five games, and if you leave halfway through, you can be regarded as admitting defeat." β
"We'll fight three hundred rounds next time." Su Mohan patted him on the shoulder and walked quickly out of the Isle of Man Club.
The night breeze is slightly cool.
Xia Ruxuan sat leisurely in the summer lounge, it turned out that Sun Xiaobing's brother was the Sun Xiaoliang who followed Su Mohan. This is the first time Xia Ruxuan has known, he only knew that Sun Xiaobing had an elder brother, but he didn't know it clearly.
After Chen Mu brought them in, he went out, it was noisy and chaotic outside, Xia Ruxuan's angry heart just now gradually eased, and now he recalled that he didn't know why he had such a big fire, but now that he has made a move, there is no need to make peace again, Xia Ruxuan has never been afraid of anyone, he is just afraid of trouble.
Xia Ruxuan's entire body sank into the soft sofa.
The cheongsam on the girl's body was too big because of the messy situation that began to be messy, causing the already high fork to be torn a few points, almost opening to the waist, revealing light-colored underwear. She stood aside with her eyebrows bowed.
Although it is close to October, the temperature in southern Jiangsu is still not low, and the air conditioning in the field is fully turned on. Looking at her slender and white legs almost completely exposed, Xia Ruxuan frowned, and he handed the other party a blanket next to him, which was probably the one he wore when he was resting in the summer.
Curiosity made the young girl raise her head and look at the man a few more times, Xia Ruxuan looked at her with a smile and tried not to put too much pressure on her, although the girl had curiosity in her eyes, but more with a bit of stubbornness and vigilance, it was only when Xia Ruxuan handed her the blanket that the vigilance in her eyes faded a little, and she was a little more grateful.
She was cold, so cold that she was trembling in her bones.
"What's your name?" Xia Ruxuan said softly.
βminaγβ
"Can't you believe me?" Xia Ruxuan looked at her gently.
The girl hesitated for a while, and finally compromised and whispered, "My name is Yin Xia, the summer of midsummer." β
The world fell silent at this moment, and the man's eyes were like the light of the world when it collapsed, like the warmth of the warm sun shining on the earth. The girl did not understand why the man's gaze at her was so affectionate and complex, "You...... What's wrong? β
"It's nothing," Xia Ruxuan laughed softly, wiping away the damp undercurrent in his heart.
He just recalled that on that winter night in 2011, his decision must have broken Yin Xia's heart, and then at the moment when Yin Xia stepped out of the door and finally slammed the door, he realized that for so many years, the person he was most sorry for was Yin Xia.
And the unspoken apologies hidden in her heart, I'm afraid she will never hear them. 2011-2003. Xia Ruxuan hopes that time is really turned back, and everything in the world in 2011 is better to be still. Otherwise, without Xia Ruxuan's world, what should this woman do.
"I'm sorry......" Xia Ruxuan murmured softly, in a voice that he couldn't even hear.
"What?" The girl frowned and looked at Xia Ruxuan.
Xia Ruxuan shook his head, took out one from the cigarette case on the table, lit it with the lighter on the side, and took a hard breath.
Nicotine rushed into his lungs, which had not been polluted in 2003, and he suddenly choked and coughed hard, "You...... Why help me? The girl spoke in a serious tone.
Xia Ruxuan took another puff, this is a very American cigarette, which is my favorite in summer. That's why he has this kind of cigarette in his lounge, "No why...... Brother, I don't need any reason to help beautiful women. Xia Ruxuan remembered the first time he met Yin Xia in that bar many years ago, and he said so.
But this time, Xia Ruxuan was in front of Yin Xia, but he didn't have the frivolity and playfulness of that year.
Yin Xia suddenly felt that this man was really inexplicably panicked, and he didn't know what to say - even teasing girls was so clumsy and fake. I don't know how much worse it is than those gentlemen.
But hearing such clumsy words, Yin Xia felt a little moved. Maybe it was because the arrogant posture of this man standing there with his back to him, as if facing the whole world, made Yin Xia feel warm.
- She never felt warm, and since she came to this cold city, it was like breaking into a forest of steel and concrete. Bumps and bumps along the way, just like the most helpless child going all the way without a purpose, looking for warmth.
But where is the warmth, Yin Xia doesn't know. She never found warmth.
She always wanted the world she lived in to be as hot as her name, so she would seriously add her name every time she actually introduced her name to someone else.
Summer in the middle of summer.
It didn't take long for the noise outside to suddenly fall silent.
A lazy man's voice was saying something, and Xia Ruxuan was completely relieved when he heard this voice.
Within half a minute, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and when she saw the girl who came, she wanted to take away the blanket on her body and stand up respectfully, but Xia Ruxuan grabbed her.
The man raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Ruxuan, leaning against the door with an awe-inspiring evil face, smiling ruffianly, unkempt, arrogant and uninhibited, "Boy, you will also have a day when you will be angry and become red-faced?" β
