Chapter 8 The Ups and Downs of Martial Arts 9
The Curator's Residence -
"Zixi, serve tea to Lloyd." The curator seems to be a very particular person, the very delicate mahogany coffee table in front of him, as well as a very chic tea set, the whole hall is very quaintly decorated, and the whole environment can make people feel that the curator is a master of the house. And in one of the most conspicuous places, there are all kinds of trophies, as well as photos of the time when they won the award on the wall: there are curators, there are Kathu, and there are also Purple Creek Shooting Championships.
After Zixi brewed the tea, she began to wash the tea.
"I heard that Nicole, the daughter of the largest consortium, has a soft spot for you?" The curator took the first cup of tea from Zixi's hand and handed it to Lloyd.
"Thank you, Curator! This first cup of tea was a treat for the guests, and Lloyd got it! As for Nicole's matter, it's nothing more than hearsay, everyone agrees, and sometimes the truth doesn't matter to everyone, and no one cares about it. Lloyd saluted the curator, and the teacup remained in the air.
The curator picked up his small teacup, held it in front of him with his hand, and sniffed it with his nose before he began to taste it.
It was only then that Lloyd drank his first cup of tea.
"Oh! So that's the case? Then we are very fateful. I heard that you were very talented when you were in school, and you have already assisted in solving cases, and later during the internship period in the psychological counseling agency, you also assisted the police in solving the case, until the performance of the commercial building robbery, it can be said that it is famous in the rivers and lakes, and the curators of the ten cities of martial arts do not want to include this person named Lloyd under their banner! The curator said with a smile.
Zixi sat quietly on the side, touching her hair and biting her lip from time to time.
When Lloyd saw Zixi's actions, he thought to himself that this was a problem.
The curator cleared his throat and said slowly and clearly: "Little girl Zixi has always favored you, and now that you have such a fate, maybe you can consider it......"
Lloyd was silent, because he didn't want to offend the curator directly, and hurt Zixi, sometimes being liked is also a kind of harm to others.
Lloyd tasted the tea, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Zixi seriously and asked, "Miss Zixi, do you like tea?" β
"I don't like to be like their old men, I like passionate things, like you ......" Zixi paused and shy when she said this.
Seeing this, the curator put down the teacup and said while the iron was hot: "If you and Nicole are playing on the spot, then what the First Consortium can give you, we can also give." You see the little girl's MTT turbo bike is just $200,000, if you like, I can buy you the best! We can even build a team for you! Provided, of course, that you're from our gym, or ...... It's my son-in-law. β
Lloyd was silent again......
Zixi moved and gestured to the curator.
"Of course, if you have any other requests, you can ask." The curator continued to add additional weights.
Curator...... Purple Creek ......" Lloyd sat up straight, his right hand on his knee, and looked very formal about to announce something.
The curator and Zixi also got serious.
"That's the curator...... My relationship with Nicole is not a joke, it's real. I don't think feelings can be measured by money, so I don't care what the outside world says about me. Because as you can see now, not only did I get nothing, but I ended up in black. Lloyd said seriously.
"Then there's no need to continue this kind of relationship." The curator spoke to Lloyd in a dissuasive manner.
"And yet I don't regret it!" Lloyd poured tea for the curator, and then poured himself a full one.
I saw the curator slap the table!
Zixi was startled and hurriedly grabbed the curator.
"Good boy, don't you eat and drink in a toast, right!? Did you know I could get you out of here with a disability at any time? The curator slapped a solid wood table next to him, and the solid wood table shattered.
Zixi was very embarrassed, with her hands behind her back, her eyes looking at the broken table on the ground.
I saw Lloyd stand up, close his eyes and say: "I am willing to go so far for Nicole, I am ready to bear any consequences, I will never forget what my choice is, if you have to force me, life is now in your hands, then you can take it!" β
"You boy! Do you think I'm selling my daughter cheaply?! If she hadn't liked you from the first time she saw your famous news, and kept begging me to agree, I wouldn't have said such things to you! It me off! The curator raised his right hand alof, ready to teach Lloyd a lesson with a palm.
Zixi hurriedly grabbed the curator and cried, "Dad! Don't do this! Now that he has a heart, we won't force it! Today you are still talking about the spirit of martial arts, which is a rush of pursuit and breakthrough. Instead of taking it by force! Twisted melons are not sweet! β
Seeing his daughter in tears, this tough guy curator inevitably had a tender side, glanced at Lloyd, the curator sighed, and walked away.
Only Zixi who was crying and Lloyd was helpless in the hall.
Lloyd found a tissue and handed it to Zixi: "That...... Thank you for liking me. But the person I really, really like is Nicole. So ......"
Lloyd himself did not expect that something that would make him helpless would be in such a situation......
"You don't have to comfort me, I just keep comforting myself, hypnotizing myself, telling myself that your relationship with Nicole is fake, and your affairs are spreading all over the world, I really regret why I didn't meet you earlier. Maybe this way, we will be the ones who will be together sooner. Although Zixi was in tears, she was not as fragile and helpless as ordinary girls, but she was still very strong, but the tears were really uncontrollable and fell with a bang.
Zixi finally met the person she had liked for a long time, but this was also a meeting where even the last bit of imagination space was shattered with reality.
Lloyd walked up the hall and saw the pictures hanging in the hall, with Purple Stream, Kathu, Mountain Monkey, and Kuroko, and they were still young at that time.
"Ahh That, actually, Kathu is not bad! Tough and brave, and I can tell he cares about you. Lloyd tried to comfort Purple Creek.
"I've always treated him like a brother! He has protected me since I was a child, and whoever dares to bully me, he will play with whomever he wants. He has always listened to my father's words, once I ran out to play, was blackmailed by the bad guys, after I came back crying, he took the mountain monkey and the sunspot to teach people a hard lesson, and it is precisely because of this, violated the door rules, the three of them were punished for three days and three nights kneeling at the door of the martial arts hall, at that time they were only 17 years old, the most important age of face and dignity, and I caused them to lose face in front of everyone. I'm like a sister who doesn't grow up! Zixi said that this was even more sad, but she remembered the good things about Katu.
"This ...... So it can be seen that Katu is also very affectionate to you! Why can't you consider him? Lloyd tried to enlighten the lovelorn girl in front of him.
"Maybe it's because Kathu is too familiar to me, and you are too dazzling and mysterious, Lloyd, so I'm interested in you! Think you're cool! Zixi wiped away her tears and looked at the photos hanging on the wallβthe photos that carried all the upbringing, and there were so many stories in them.
"Looks like you're finally clear, look, I'm in front of you now, it's not so mysterious, right? And I still like other girls, isn't it a little annoying? And then there is a left hand with a plaster cast, isn't it so dazzling? Lloyd shook his plaster left hand, raised an eyebrow, and said with a relaxed expression.
"That's a bit of a thing!" Zixi glanced at Lloyd and laughed out loud.
"That's right, so you're just appreciative likes, not loving likes. Maybe your loved one is in this picture? Lloyd took another closer look at the photograph in front of him.
Zixi also looked at these photos with fascination......
Outside the hall door, all the conversations were heard clearly by Kathu, who was just about to come in but stayed there......
