Chapter 5: Shadow and Guardian (1)
01
It takes only two hours to fly from Beijing to Hefei.
When the Beijing fencing team arrived in Hefei, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was shining, but it was already time for dinner when they arrived at the hotel.
Usually Jiang Shangliang and Zhou Huaiheng were in the same room, but this time the coach suddenly had a convulsion and said that he would let the lottery move in, so Hou Xu was unfortunately assigned to Zhou Huaiheng's room.
Hou Xu wanted to cry and pinched the lottery note without tears, and asked Jiang Shangliang for exchange, and then for Chen Shen to exchange, but they were all rejected.
Jiang Shangliang smiled and helped his glasses: If I change it with you, what is the point of this lottery? Just give you the opportunity to have more contact with your senior brother Zhou. ”
"Don't ......" Although he resisted to the death, his body honestly sneaked out two Playboy books from his backpack and threw them into the trash, after all, he knew very well that it was useless to resist.
Hou Xu thought that the gods were unaware, but Zhou Huaiheng saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Zhou Huaiheng lowered his eyes and looked at Hou Xu, and asked him expressionlessly: "I don't snore or grind my teeth, what are you afraid of?" ”
"I'm afraid you'll eat me." Hou Xu still has a shadow on yesterday's training.
"Then you can rest assured. I'm not interested in eating you. Zhou Huaiheng joked with Hou Xu seriously.
The women's sabre team on the side heard the above conversation and covered their faces excitedly: "Obviously living in the same room, I have to discuss the topic of whether to eat each other or not, my rotten heart is about to move!" ”
A member of the women's foil team said: "I used to stand firmly on Jiang × Zhou, but today I suddenly want to stand on Zhou × Hou." ”
"It's obviously Zhou × Jiang is good! But I'm on the same side as you today. ”
The girls discussed hotly and did not avoid the parties at all.
Hou Xu was crazy: "Why am I the one who was ×!" I'm obviously very aggressive! ”
Zhou Huaiheng shook his head helplessly and looked at Hou Xu, with an expression of "I'm afraid it's not stupid".
Everyone went back to their rooms to settle their luggage.
Zhou Huaiheng walked in front, and Hou Xu followed cautiously and with some precautions. Hou Xu is 1.84 meters tall, and he is already tall in school, but compared with Zhou Huaiheng, Zhou Huaiheng is like an iron wall, and he is a small guardrail at best.
Hou Xu took out his mobile phone, took a photo of Zhou Huaiheng's back, and lowered his head to edit Weibo.
Zhou Huaiheng turned his head and glanced at Hou Xu twice: "Huh? Hack me on Weibo again? ”
Hou Xu was so frightened that he quickly put away his mobile phone, straightened up, and said sincerely: "Senior Brother Zhou, I was wrong!" Senior Brother Zhou, I won't post it! But I thought, "Is this man three eyes?" And one on the back of the head? He knows how I do it!
Zhou Huaiheng sneered, pursed his lips and turned back: "Whatever you want." ”
Why doesn't he tweet? Or just let him tweet? Or just let him smear him? Hou Xu's head couldn't turn a little.
In the end, Hou Xu still posted on Weibo before entering the room, with the accompanying text: "This time I was assigned a room with Senior Brother Zhou, hehe, I'm so happy." ”
In view of the fact that yesterday's Weibo was commented on by Zhou Huaiheng, Hou Xu was worried that he would be caught by Zhou Huaiheng again this time, so he didn't dare to make a mistake.
As soon as Hou Xu entered the room, he first chose a bed by the window. He said that the view by the window was good and he slept soundly.
Zhou Huaiheng put down the suitcase next to the other bed: "Whatever you want." ”
Zhou Huaiheng didn't have much luggage, so he only brought two or three sets of change of clothes and fencing equipment. When he was packing his luggage at noon, he was actually a little hesitant to bring the hydrangea sent by Tao Zhenzhen, but he was worried that the road would be running around and the flowers would be broken, so he could only ask Qiao Yu to take care of it.
"Senior brother, Brother Shen asked us if we were okay? It's time to gather for dinner. ”
"Well......" Zhou Huaiheng folded the last piece of clothing, put it neatly on the bed, and straightened his sleeves, "Let's go." ”
"Senior brother, do you have a habit of cleanliness? Or obsessive-compulsive disorder? Hou Xu looked at the clothes on the bed that looked like tofu blocks, and asked cautiously.
After Zhou Huaiheng glanced at the pile of clothes like a small mountain on Hou Xu's bed, he said expressionlessly: "I don't have a cleanliness fetish, and I don't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, but I can't accept the sloppiness beyond the tolerance range of normal people." ”
“……”
Zhou Huaiheng's eyes were cold. Although Hou Xu felt that his sloppiness was in the category of normal people, he still consciously and silently put away his clothes.
******
When Zhou Huaiheng and Hou Xu were waiting for the elevator, they met Zhong Kai, a sabre player of the Jiangsu team. Although Hou Xu has not dealt much with Zhong Kai, he does know him, Zhong Kai is a veteran of the Jiangsu fencing team, who won the first sabre championship in history for the Chinese team at the Olympic Games.
Zhong Kai smiled and gently patted Zhou Huaiheng's shoulder: "It's been a long time, Huaiheng." ”
“…… Brother Zhong. Zhou Huaiheng called out the other party's name, although there was still no expression on his face, but there was a trace of respect in his tone.
Zhong Kai touched his chin and looked at Zhou Huaiheng: "Have you grown taller again?" Have you had a little girlfriend? ”
In other words, if someone else asked Zhou Huaiheng these questions, he probably wouldn't pay attention to them, but in the face of Zhong Kai, Zhou Huaiheng replied very "well-behaved": "No." ”
Zhong Kai sighed: "You, you still haven't changed at all." Let's talk about a little girlfriend, let her train you well, don't always be like a block of ice that can't be warmed. ”
Zhou Huaiheng curled the corners of his lips and smiled, but didn't say anything.
"Go for the game." Zhong Kai said before leaving. His teammates were also waiting for him to eat.
Zhou Huaiheng nodded, his hands slowly clenched.
Chen Shen saw Zhong Kai's back walking away, and asked the captain of the Jiangsu men's foil team next to him: "Did Zhong Kai retire after playing the National Championships?" ”
"Yes, in order to give his sports career a complete end, he has put in a lot of effort to train this time." The captain of the foil team looked at Zhou Huaiheng with a smile, "You have to work hard." ”
"I will." Zhou Huaiheng responded lightly.
Hou Xu asked Jiang Shangliang suspiciously: "What's wrong?" What do you mean? ”
Jiang Shangliang glanced at Hou Xu: "Zhong Kai is the target of your Senior Brother Zhou. When your senior brother Zhou first entered the provincial team, he threatened to defeat the then Olympic champion Zhong Kai, and later this matter spread, and when Zhong Kai arrived in Beijing, he specially asked your senior brother Zhou to play a friendly match, and the result was ......"
Jiang Shangliang smiled but did not speak.
The sixteen-year-old hairy boy played against the steady Olympic veteran, and the result was actually self-evident, but after that game, Zhong Kai and the provincial team coach at the time were very optimistic about Zhou Huaiheng.
"Although the swordsmanship is still a little immature, the sword style is unique, and the explosive power is implied in the calmness, which is unexpected and worth looking forward to." The coach at the time commented on Zhou Huaiheng's sword.
