Chapter 38: The Dinner Party (Part II)
In the face of the overwhelming majority of people's extreme disapproval, the Faculty of Arts football team has accomplished a "feat" that even they couldn't believe at the beginning. They have won all of their group stage so far with one round remaining, and given the overall situation in the group, the team is already sealed to top the group.
No one would have expected that the development of things would be so unexpected, if someone set up a football lottery betting market, the opening of the Faculty of Arts group stage ranked first to enter the knockout round, this odds do not need to think about the outrageously high, maybe 1 to 50, maybe 1 to 100, this bet is often some "can't think" gamblers, even if the amateur team will have a difference in strength and weakness, obviously the College of Letters is not a powerful team.
The whole team, including the fans who have rarely scored so far, left the stadium with excitement and joy after the game, and they returned to their dormitories, and everyone had to digest the fruits of this unplanned victory, which was a bonus.
After the game, Ni Tu is no longer the king on the court, he is just a bright dick, the only difference from before is that Ni Tu will also feel sporadic attention on the road, some envy, some worship, some contempt, and some disdain.
Something like "Wow! Look, this is the one who plays football, you don't know Ai, he is really handsome when he plays! Words like this will appear in Ni Tu's ears, and there will also be "Where is handsome, what is football, please open your eyes and take a look, where is this ugly monster handsome?" Are you si bu si blind?! The voice came to mind. Whether it is praise or disapproval, no matter how sporadic the voice is, at least one thing, Ni Tu is no longer so obscure.
Everyone in the roommates has returned to the dormitory, Yan Pengfei also came back one step ahead of Ni Tu, he represented the football team of the School of Civil Engineering in this game very well, so the mood is quite good, the key is that he can finally play football! Seeing Ni Tu pushing the door in, Yan Pengfei interrupted the conversation he was having with his roommates, turned to look at Ni Tu, and jokingly said, "Comrades, welcome back to the big ball king of science and technology!"
The roommates also applauded, which made Ni Tu very embarrassed, but fortunately, he got used to the little jokes between his roommates, and pressed his hands and said, "Calm, calm".
Although he doesn't admit it, he has always been very positive about making roommate jokes, which is completely far from his own "lazy" character, you must know that if you muster up the courage to climb over his bedside, it will be easy to find the banana peel that Liu Xiang bought half a month ago, and the banana peel that has been blackened appeared on his bed like this...... in the corner.
After Yan Pengfei finished speaking, Zhang Haiyang continued: "King of the ball, sign a name, our dormitory roommates can get close to the water and get the moon first, and we must not treat our brothers who share weal and woe, buddies in the future, what delicious food do we want to eat, selling you a signature is enough to eat for a month!"
Roommates are like this, bitter and mean, mixed with feelings that are difficult to produce in college classmates, some people say that college classes are actually dormitories, and the so-called classes are more like a collection of classes together in the strict sense.
Ni Tu said to him: "Prepare a pen and paper, and sign a half-sack for you, but you have to be careful to smash your hands later."
Everyone was almost in trouble, Yan Pengfei came over again, and asked Ni Tu with a smile, "Tu, I know that the next game is a duel between our college and their liberal arts college, right, you have to raise your noble hand, brother, I will invite you to a big dinner." ”
"You are a typical emperor, the eunuch is not in a hurry, Wen Shuting has not come to Ni Tu yet! Why, you don't have confidence in the academy team? Li Xianzhong accosted, and after speaking, he was going to the balcony to call his future girlfriend who was now in an ambiguous relationship.
……
The day is about to pass soon, and Ni Tu is not ready to be idle in this little leisure time after the game, for the sake of the competition, he has not studied well for a long time, and took advantage of the short gap when there is nothing to do, so he went to the study room to charge for a while. After all, for him now, no matter how keen he is about football, football seems to be no longer a meal.
"Everything suffers, only reading is high."
On the way to the cafeteria to eat, I received a call from Du Jiayao, saying that the team was in a good mood today and wanted to have a meal. Ni Tu looked helpless, it seems that the free time at night is going to be squeezed again, Ni Tu has never been keen to participate in such a nonsensical dinner, at this point, he is like a "lone ranger", not gregarious at all, sometimes quite annoying. But he still has to go, Du Jiayao said that many teammates are there, and it is not good if there is nothing to do.
The restaurant where tonight's dinner was held was still near the South Gate, just across the road, and Ni Tu turned back from the cafeteria.
At this point, the road happened to be full of traffic, crossing the road through the pedestrian crossing, and when he was about to enter the door of the hotel, Ni Tu inadvertently turned around and saw a luxury car parked at the south gate, he only saw the car door open, and a vague figure flashed in.
This must be a female college student who "loves life" who has tasted life and returned to school to continue to cultivate her high school.
There are some girls in the school who love these very much, of course, this seems to be almost the same in the whole society, how many girls don't like that kind of "good life"? All of these were far away from Ni Tu himself, and he didn't have time to think about these people.
The private room was set on the second floor, and when Ni Tu arrived, a few people came, but Ni Tu didn't find Niu Zhi, many of whom were not teammates in the team. The door of the private room was open, Du Jiayao was sitting facing the door, and when he saw Ni Tu's figure, he got up to greet him, and greeted everyone with a smile to greet the "core of the team", and Ni Tu was mechanically arranged next to Du Jiayao.
After sitting down, Ni Tu looked at the crowd carefully, Niu Zhi didn't come, Chen Jian didn't come, even the guard "Brother Leak" was not there, and the team only came to a few people who were dedicated to "earning credits".
Wei Zhonghua is here, his "age" is very suitable for this kind of sound and lust place, if it is okay, Wei Zhonghua will definitely come to participate. The banquet didn't even start, Du Jiayao personally told everyone that they must wait until Ni Tu came to eat, which was also what Ni Tu said, "Since our Ni Tu has arrived, everyone can start eating, and it won't be delicious if you don't eat food."
Ni Tu asked Du Jiayao, what about the others, Du Jiayao replied that many people have something to do and can't come temporarily, "Some people are very busy in their spare time, and today they are happy and want to come out for a meal, these people are their own brothers." ”
Ni Tu always felt a little strange about this meal, he couldn't tell what was different, but the food was a little awkward, and he kept making noise in his mind that Du Jiayao was praising himself.
At this time, the captain was full of spring breeze, everyone pushed the glasses and set the lamp, and the wind on the wine table was surging.
The people at the entire banquet were also interested and did not persuade Ni Tu to drink again, because they all knew that he didn't drink at all.
However, Du Jiayao wanted to have a drink with him with the strength of the wine, but Ni Tu still didn't answer. With the help of Ni Tu's refusal to drink, there was another round of Du Jiayao's praise for himself, and the captain praised him for not being moved by temptation and being determined, "Ni Tu, do you know? I knew you were a powerful person from the first time I saw you, such a powerful person is in our college, and he is so strict with himself, I will hand over the team to you, as the president of the student council of the Faculty of Arts and the captain of the team, I will put 100 hearts! ”
The theme of the whole dinner is to praise Ni Tu in a different way, and to praise him at every opportunity. Du Jiayao even praised a person without repetition, which can be described as "witty words". Ni Tu didn't think much about it, thinking that it was an unexpected surprise that the Faculty of Liberal Arts had confirmed the promotion that made the captain of the Faculty of Liberal Arts overjoyed.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, if there is something that should be said and should not be said, and what you want to say but can't say, it is time to say it.
The time has come to half past eight in the evening, and this meal has been eaten for more than 2 hours before I know it. Du Jiayao took Ni Tu's hand, as if he was making a summary of the case, and said: "Ni Tu, I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect that a college like our College of Liberal Arts, which no one loves and no one loves, could look forward to you, and I didn't expect the College of Liberal Arts to be able to play such a good result." It's really worth it now that I think about it, in order to win a trace of dignity for the Faculty of Letters, I accompanied this and that every day, but no one would give me a good look, I still remember what they said at the beginning, and it's not cost-effective to earn a goal difference in your Faculty of Letters, hey! It's also to blame that our skills were not as good as others, and we can't help it. But since you came, we found that we are not so incompetent, everyone cooperates with you, and you are also improving us, thank you, Ni Tu, thank you very much! ”
"Of course, what I'm trying to say today is our ambitions, we can't rest on our laurels, it's said that the draw for the knockout rounds is based on the team's record, and the better the game, the better the opponent. There's one round of matches left in the group stage, and it's your alma mater again, what are you going to do next? If you want to avoid it, I think it's understandable and understandable, after all, civil engineering is your college. ”
Ni Tu is a very professional person, he knows that since he is now in the Faculty of Letters, he has to play every game well, and his philosophy has never been to leave any strength, as long as he is on the court, he must do his best on the court.
"Now that we're raising our eyebrows, we're going to tell them that we're all two-legged people who stand and pee, and we're afraid of their eggs! Lao Tzu firmly believes that the Faculty of Arts can scare a large number of people to death in this competition! Du Jiayao's agitation echoed at the wine table again.
Now Ni Tu understands that Du Jiayao wants to win, specifically to win the School of Civil Engineering, if he wants to win, he has to rely on Ni Tu, he seems to care about this game very much, and he is a little confused about his own bottom, after all, the opponent is his own alma mater.
To be honest, Ni Tu didn't have a deep sense of belonging to the School of Civil Engineering, and the School of Civil Engineering didn't give him anything in the first place.
But he's not a heartless guy either, all he needs to do is do his duty as a player, and now he's part of the Faculty of Letters, and as a professional, playing is about getting the most out of his team.
What is the biggest gain? Overwhelmingly for their own team to win.
