Chapter 6: The Old Man and the New Testament
Qingmei and bamboo, the two have no suspicion.
As the first friend of the other party in this life, the same age, the opposite sex, it goes without saying that while the two sides have reached a high degree of tacit understanding, it is inevitable that they will be in love for a long time.
Ye Luo understands, and Ni Rong also knows Ye Luo's thoughts.
However, helplessly, Ye Luo has been shy since he was a child, although he excels in learning, he is helpless to be an idiot in basketball, so as he grows older, Ye Luo and Ni Rong have fewer and fewer common topics and languages.
Naturally, the relationship is getting farther and farther apart, and it is becoming more and more rusty.
When she entered junior high school, Ni Rong had her own boyfriend, even though Ye Luo knew, but promised Ni Rong that she would keep it secret from her parents.
In those three years, Ye Luo enjoyed and suffered, and he couldn't look back - he had the opportunity to get closer to Ni Rong than any other sex, but he became a generation of spare tire warmers and best friends.
Ni Rong quarreled with her boyfriend, and Ye Luo came to coax her; Ni Rong broke up with her boyfriend, and Ye Luo came to coax her......
obviously paid more and more hardships than her boyfriend, and said more and more words than her friend, but in the end, she couldn't match her boyfriend's floating basketball.
Noisy and noisy, divided and combined, Ni Rong and her boyfriend's ups and downs were all in Ye Luo's eyes, but he never came out to disturb Ni Rong when she was happy.
What is the name of Ni Rong's first boyfriend, Ye Luo has forgotten, only remembers that he can indeed play a good hand in basketball, he was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time, and he has already dominated campus basketball and is famous.
It is in Ni Rong's heart.
Nearly 180cm tall, the family also has a little money, half a gentleman, but unfortunately obsessed with basketball, not a serious job.
Ni Rong is obsessed with him just like her boyfriend is obsessed with basketball, even if she sometimes messes with flowers and grass, and sometimes skips school, Ni Rong just likes him, and it belongs to the love that comes alive and dead.
Ye Luo saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and was worried about Ni Rong's injury all the time, from the skin and flesh to the chastity, he was like a guardian saint hiding in the corner, carefully caring for Ni Rong.
But even so, Ye Luo still faced the scruples of losing Ni Rong at any time.
So, one day, Ye Luo learned the words "love the house and the black" when he was in class: the one who loves others is also the black on the house.
Ye Luo was deeply affected by its true meaning, like an initiation, and immediately opened up, and secretly vowed: "I want to practice basketball for you!" ā
The power of love is great, and the power of a crush is the greatest.
For Ni Rong, in order to fight for his first love, Ye Luo practiced for countless days and nights, rain or shine.
I've been hurt, I've endured pain, I've been scolded, I've been fighting...... After three years of hard work, Ye Luo's diligence and hard work have finally been exchanged for the first appearance of the edge, and he has achieved a small success.
It's a pity that after a high school entrance examination, the two parted ways due to the difference in grades and studied in two high schools in the north and west of the city.
Ye Luo didn't have time to let Ni Rong see her transformation, so she hid her regrets in her heart, until today, now, at this moment.
When he was in high school, Ye Luo also heard that Ni Rong had changed two or three boyfriends, but everything remained the same, they were all basketball masters in the school, and they were all first-class and tough.
However, the heavy schoolwork forced Ye Luo to have no more energy to pay attention to Ni Rong's life, after all, there was only one vacation a month, and the number of times the two could see each other in a year could be counted with one hand.
At that time, at this time, only the one-handed basketball she practiced persevered and never relaxed.
Just wait for one day when I meet Ni Rong again, I can show my skills and prove myself: I also have the right to love you, and I also have the qualifications to be loved by you.
In the blink of an eye, Ni Rong and Ye Luo are already in their twenties, whether they are born or not, they are not familiar, standing together, knowing that they are old people, but they don't know how to speak.
"Uh......" Ni Rong's ten fingers crossed in front of her, naturally drooping, "Recently...... How are you doing? ā
"Hmm." Ye Luo looked up at the blue sky, the white clouds fluttering slowly, "What about you?" Uncles and aunts are in good health, right? ā
"Hmm."
The two people who used to say everything are now left with only a few words.
"Your boyfriend is pretty tough......"
Ye Shi didn't know what to say, so he smiled awkwardly, it could be regarded as a forced conversation, and it could be regarded as satisfying his curiosity, "How long have we been together?" ā
"Two years."
Without thinking, girls are always very sure of the memory of time, "Actually, when I was a freshman, he confessed to me, but I didn't agree." ā
"That'...... Why did you agree to it later? Compared with Ni Rong's refusal, Ye Luo felt that he should take it for granted, and now he was more concerned about what happened after that.
"Because I promised him that when I could win a trophy, I would promise him."
Ni Rong recalled: "Who knows...... The following year, he took home a CUBA trophy......"
"It can be seen that he should have put in a lot of hard work and effort for me in his sophomore year." Ni Rong looked at the big black man on the basketball court with satisfaction and said.
A competition, a trophy, a year did not make Ni Rong see is believing, so the black man won Ni Rong's heart, and Ye Luo couldn't help but feel regretful.
With the same conditions and the same purpose, I can obviously do it, but I am lagging behind.
However, Ye Luo didn't say anything, but he only hated himself for being cowardly in his heart, and so far he has not let Ni Rong see how much blood, sweat and persistence she has paid for her.
Ye Luo pretended to be indifferent, and said absent-mindedly: "He...... Belch...... Is he okay with you? ā
After hesitating for a moment, Ni Rong wrote lightly: "It's okay, it's average." ā
Ye Luo's emotional intelligence was not high, and he didn't hear the meaning of Ni Rong's words, he just nodded, and said duplicitously: "Hmm...... It's true that it's plain! ā
Through the ensuing chat, Ye Luo learned that the invincible No. 24 was the roommate of the black man, and the glasses standing outside the venue were the black man and the classmate of the 24th.
And the high school student is Ni Rong's cousin, who is still in high school in Yuncheng and lives in the Juleyuan community.
Needless to say, his background is as important as his weight: a member of the current men's basketball team of Huaqiao University, a starting center and rebounding champion.
Now in his third year at CUBA.
And now, he is taking advantage of the school and team holidays to follow Ni Rong to Yuncheng to relax, and to prepare for the upcoming 19th CUBA in the 2016-2017 season.
"Huaqiao University, a great basketball team." Although he hasn't paid much attention to CUBA, Ye Luo still has heard of his title as the defending champion.
Since the topic has extended here, it is as if it has touched Ni Rong's high point, and the conversation box was opened instantly, and Ye Luo praised the heroism and might of other boyfriends in the arena.
Ni Rong's expression was sincere and adoring, as if every picture was still vivid.
Just like Ni Rong's affection, Ye Luo also looked at her with the same expression, with an indescribable bitterness, "Are you willing to be with him...... Is it because of basketball, or is it because of emotion? ā
Ni Rong's smile stiffened slightly, and she didn't answer Ye Luo directly, but squeaked and covered it up: "I can't tell you either...... The main thing is that he can make a name for himself in CUBA, and I ......"
"Well, you don't have to say it, I understand." Ye Luo wiped his nose and interrupted Ni Rong's words.
He really couldn't imagine that it was even more difficult to accept the picture of Ni Rong and the black man being together, it was painful, like a knife.
Ye Luo also knows that Ni Rong's only criterion for choosing a mate is to be able to play a good hand of basketball, in addition, appearance, money, and family background are just icing on the cake, not hard conditions.
But it was such a purity that Ye Luo began to carefully consider whether he wanted to return to the basketball world.
Don't forget your original intention.
Ye Luo finally recalled the reason why he was willing to contact basketball in a pile of trivial things about the sesame seeds, "Love the house and the black: the one who loves the other is also the black on the house." ā
Ten years of sharpening a sword, just waiting for today......
"Ni Rong, there is a sentence...... I've been holding it back for many years, and I don't know if I should talk about it now? Ye Luo glanced tentatively at Ni Rong and asked cautiously.
Ni Rong's personality was cheerful and sassy, and she said disapprerovantly: "Ask!" Our relationship, do you still have anything to worry about? ā
Ye Luo stuffed his hands into his trouser pockets, lowered his head, looked at a small pebble on the ground and was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, looked at the basketball court, and asked, "I...... Can I still chase you? ā
Ni Rong was stunned when she heard this, as if in a dream, she froze in place, and stammered and asked, "You, what do you mean?" ā
Originally, Ye Luo was quite nervous, for fear that if he said something wrong, he would anger Ni Rong, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, judging from the current situation, Ni Rong's reaction did not seem to reject Ye Luo, so he was angry and simply got straight to the point: "If I confess to you with the next CUBA championship trophy, will you accept me?" ā
Be concise and to the point.
Standing on the sidelines of the hot game with the basketball court as if separated by two worlds, the atmosphere between Ye Luo and Ni Rong was awkward, and the silence was like death.
Ye Luo suspected that it was his abruptness that stimulated Ni Rong, so he hurriedly explained: "I, I know that you and your boyfriend may be very sweet now, but ...... IāI still want to fight for it...... I, I ......"
After a while, Ni Rong woke up like a dream, forcibly restrained the throbbing in her heart, and questioned: "What did you say...... Is it if, or is it ...... Really? ā
Ye Luo grinned, thinking that it was time for him to finally have a chance to show himself to Ni Rong, but he didn't want his oath to be able to come out before he could say it, so it came to an abrupt end because of Ni Rong's ridicule.
"Do you know how to play basketball? Leaf fall, I remember...... You're not a basketball idiot! ā
Basketball idiots?
What a sensitive word of a humiliating nature.
When Ye Luo heard this, his heart trembled: I didn't expect that for many years, he would be such an identity in Ni Rong's eyes.
was ridiculed by the girl he liked in front of him as a "basketball idiot", and he couldn't help but make Ye Luo's excitement just come to his mouth, and he was forced to wrap it in saliva and swallow it in his stomach.
Perhaps sensing that her expression was inappropriate, Ni Rong's smile narrowed a little, and gently slapped Ye Luo, who was a little frustrated and disappointed, and said, "I'm sorry, did I hurt you?" ā
Ye Luo didn't answer Ni Rong, but went straight to the point, emphasizing again: "Ni Rong, if you want to understand my situation at once now, it's a long story. I just want to know: can one of CUBA's highest honors make you accept me? ā
Ye Luo's eyes were resolute and stubborn, which made Ni Rong's body suddenly stiffen, and she pursed her lips, like a frightened rabbit, pursing her lips, not knowing how to answer.
Seeing that Ni Rong hesitated, Ye Luo pushed himself forward again and asked, "What if there is not only a CUBA championship trophy, but also an MVP trophy?" ā
As if under irresistible control, and as if she was willing, Ni Rong finally nodded with a blushing face and muttered, "Uh...... Yes, it's possible......"
"What does it mean to be possible?" Ye Luo asked.
"That's ......" Ni Rong thought for a while, and said, "That is...... If you do, I'll promise you......"
Ni Rong's hesitation and hesitation came from her unclear whether Ye Luo could really play basketball, and even less sure if his ability could really win the CUBA championship trophy or even the MVP trophy?
But Ye Luo was not in a hurry to explain, but excitedly took out his hands, put them on Ni Rong's shoulders and said solemnly: "Ni Rong, I want to let you know with my actions: your decision can't help but change you and me, and also change CUBA and history!" ā
Ni Rong seemed to have lost her soul at this time, her eyes were dull and confused, and in a trance, she even vaguely forgot what she had said, what decisions she had made, and even what impact it would have in the future?
Similarly, Ye Luo suddenly forgot what kind of promises he made and what kind of poisonous oaths he made when he left the basketball team......
The long-lost blood began to boil completely, and then pick up the original intention, and everything set off for love!
The Ye Luo who let go of basketball and was addicted to the Internet is gone, and at this moment, a new and earth-shaking Ye Luo with a new soul was born!
