Chapter 17: Innocent Fighter

Listening to Li Qing's question, Scarlett Ha Lu smiled, patted Li Qing on the shoulder, and said, "Do you know who my idol is?" I'm an Indiana native, grew up watching the Pacers, and was a die-hard Reggie Miller fan. The last time I saw you play, I saw a Miller-like trait in you. ”

Lee Kyung-chick said that Reggie Miller, a famous NBA star, suffered from polio as a child, and doctors even asserted that he could not walk. Not only did he stand up, but he also became one of the greatest stars in NBA history.

He doesn't jump high, he doesn't run fast, he is thin and he is extremely weak in confrontation, but he never gives up, he wants to win and gives his all in every game. He kept running on the field, looking for a gap to strike, even if it was in vain, even when he was out of breath, he never stopped running. He is not afraid of confrontation, he falls and gets up, even if he is scarred, he never bows to opponents who are faster, taller and stronger than him.

Whether it is those who like him or those who hate him, it must be admitted that he is a great fighter.

"In last week's game, the whole team in the English department was not in good spirits. Maybe the opponent is too strong, maybe no one has any hope for victory, in short, even Zhang, who is a member of the school team, is listless. Whether attacking or defending, it is a weak look, lazily making people anxious.

"And you're just a substitute, but when you come on the pitch you behaves very differently. I see you running, jumping, scrambling, defending, and in your limited playing time...... You are not afraid of confrontation, you obviously fall down at the first touch, but you never back down in front of opponents who are stronger than you. I watched you fall again and again, and get up again and again, but you were always proud and unyielding.

"At that time, I felt like you were a real fighter, like Miller. So I remember you, and I only remember you. ”

Hearing Scarlett's words, Li Qing was moved and proud, but also a little ashamed. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "I can't compare with Miller, he really loves basketball, and I was just pulled into the team." Doing your best on the field is just a matter of competitiveness and refusal to admit defeat. ”

"Fighters don't just exist on the pitch." Scarlett smiled: "Once you participate, go all out, even if it is not what you are good at, and it is not your favorite field, you will do your best to fight for it, people like you are the best interpretation of the word 'fighter'." With this kind of unyielding fighting spirit of not admitting defeat and not bowing your head, I believe that no matter what you do, you will achieve success. ”

Li Qing smiled: "Xie Lu, thank you for your approval." This is the highest compliment I have ever received in my life. No one has ever had as much confidence in me as you have. ”

Scarlett said, "Oh, has there never been anyone? Didn't your parents praise you either? ”

"I don't have parents." Li Qing smiled faintly: "I am an orphan who was abandoned at the gate of the welfare home, and I don't even know who my parents are, and I don't even know what my real surname is. My name was given to me by the old dean. ”

"Ahh Scarlett's pretty face turned red, she unconsciously made meaningless gestures, and said in a bit of a panic: "Yes, I'm sorry, I don't know...... I didn't mean to ......"

"Nothing." Li Qing smiled freely, "It's not your fault, that's the way it is." I won't be sad about this, I've been used to it for so many years! ”

Scarlett looked at Li Qing's face cautiously and said softly, "Is there really nothing wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Li Qing met Scarlett's green eyes and said casually: "Didn't you say that I am an unyielding fighter?" What fighter would be sad because of such a trivial matter? That's too fragile. ”

Scarlett pursed her lips, grabbed Li Qing's hand, leaned forward slightly, looked at Li Qing's eyes, and said solemnly: "Well, in short, it's my fault anyway." Even if you don't feel bad about it, I have to apologize to you. ”

The palm of her hand was grabbed by Scarlett's soft little hand, looking at her slightly undulating breasts, smelling the faint body fragrance of the girl, the heart of the great magician Li Qing suddenly skipped a beat.

It's a shame to say that when he grew so big, he only held hands with girls when he was in a welfare home and elementary school, playing games with his friends, or standing in line to cross the street. Ever since I was in junior high school, I haven't even held a girl's hand.

Now being grabbed by Scarlett, a first-class blonde beautiful girl, under such close contact with her, I feel the softness and tenderness of Scarlett's palm, thinking of her slender and round legs, and the innocent little virgin Li Qing, her face began to fever, her palms were sweaty, and her throat was a little dry.

While secretly scolding himself for not being angry, he gently pulled his hand out of Scarlett's palm, and said calmly, "I accept your apologies. Well, in order to show your sincerity, should you treat me to dinner? ”

He just used such a joke to hide the throbbing in his heart, but he didn't expect Scarlett to take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll invite you to dinner today." ”

When she was in the United States, she had a party with her classmates and friends, all of which were AA system. But after coming to China, I also followed the local customs and learned to be a treat.

Li Qing said helplessly: "I'm just joking." How can you really let a girl invite you to dinner? ”

"But I'm serious." Scarlett returned to smiling again: "Didn't the Chinese say that 'boys and girls are the same, and women can hold up half the sky'?" Since boys can invite girls to dinner, why can't girls invite boys to dinner? Such gender discrimination is unacceptable. ”

"......" Li Qing was speechless, so he had to say: "Okay, girls can indeed invite boys to dinner, and boys should be able to accept it with peace of mind." But I was really just kidding, I have to go home for dinner in the evening, and there is someone waiting for me to cook. ”

"Huh? Someone waiting for you to come home for dinner? Scarlett's eyes were shining, as if they had turned into two gossip pictures: "You don't have a family, but there are people at home." Could it be that it's your girlfriend? ”

"I don't have a girlfriend." Li Qing hurriedly denied it, and explained one more sentence: "I haven't even talked about love." ”

"Oh?" Scarlett opened her mouth in some surprise, looked Li Qing up and down, and said, "How is it possible?" You are very handsome, courageous and confident, you shouldn't be without a girlfriend! There are so many girls in the English department, but none of them have a good vision? ”

"Hehe......" Li Qing smiled dryly, not knowing what to say.

You can't tell her that she used to be in front of girls, but she wasn't as eloquent as she is now, right? No money, no house, no father to pit, no old age to gnaw, not even a home. That's not all, his body is still thin and thin, and he doesn't even have a basic sense of security, how can he be confident in front of girls?

He does not lack courage and self-confidence, and he also has a competitive self-motivation in his bones, but his courage, self-confidence and competitiveness, cannot be extended to the category of love. In the past, in front of the girls, his courage would disappear, and his competitive and unyielding personality could not be stretched.

If it weren't for the coincidence that he met the Great Demon King of Susu and became the black knight of the Demon King, he probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to talk to Scarlett so intimately now.

"Anyway, I'm going to treat you to dinner today, no matter what. That person in your family can also go with us, just so that you can make more friends. ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly and said half-truthfully: "The one in my family is also an orphan who has no parents and grew up in a welfare home. Her name is Su Su, and she is now living in my house, so that she can go to primary school nearby. However, although she is young, her temper is a bit big. You know, the child who grew up in a welfare home, in terms of personality, will always have such and such problems, her problems are especially serious, even I am afraid of her, but it is not very easy to deal with. ”

Regarding Su Su's situation, Li Qingzao discussed it with her. What is being said now is exactly what Su Su agreed to do.

Scarlett was very clever not to ask what kind of orphan she grew up in a welfare home and could live in Li Qing's house. As an orphaned college student with no job, no property, and no housing, Li Qing now has no guardianship qualifications. So if you seriously pursue it, this matter is very doubtful.

But Scarlett believes in Li Qing, and she believes that Li Qing is not a bad person. At the same time, she also knows that China has many special national conditions, and many things are not clear to even the Chinese themselves, let alone her as a foreigner. That orphaned primary school student was able to live in Li Qing's house, which may be one of China's national conditions.

"No matter how naughty a child is, there will be a cute side. Don't worry, Qing, I'm very good at dealing with children. Wait a minute, just call her out, and I'll treat you two to beef hot pot. ”

Scarlett said so, and Li Qing couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to agree to her invitation.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Dahai began to call for assembly training tactics. The captain studied it carefully for a while, came up with a simple tactic that could be learned by the rabble, and decided to practice it.

When the team started practicing, Scarlett retreated to the sidelines and sat on a bench on the sidelines to watch Li Qing and them train. The team trained until six o'clock in the afternoon, and Scarlett was also very patient to see six o'clock. After the training was over and the team was disbanded, Scarlett left the sports field with Li Qing.

"Go to my rented apartment first and pick up Susu out." Li Qing said, seeing Scarlett standing on the side of the road ready to call a taxi, he hurriedly said, "No need to call a taxi, I have a car." ”

"Do you have a car?" Scarlett looked at Li Qing in some surprise.

"Well, that's my ride." Li Qing walked to his second-hand small electric car, patted the car mat, and said without shame: "I call it a little sheep." Gentle, comfortable, safe and reliable. ”

"Hehe......" Scarlett smiled dryly, pointed to the broken left handbrake, and said in an extremely skeptical tone: "This is also safe and reliable?" ”

Li Qing got into the car and smiled toothily at Scarlett: "Trust me, that's right." ”

Scarlett gritted her teeth, made a look of relief, stepped into the car, sat behind Li Qing, and wrapped her hands tightly around Li Qing's waist. It was a soft, elastic crisp chest pressed on Li Qing's back, which made Qingda's official's heart flutter, and the little brother almost stood up and saluted.

He swallowed, suppressed the ripples in his heart, and turned on the small electric power.

After a few minutes......

"No wonder you say it's safe and secure." Scarlett sighed: "Is it fifteen kilometers per hour?" It's a little sheep. ”

"Hehe......" Li Qing could only laugh dryly.
