Chapter 5: Shadow and Guardian (3)

03

At night, Zhou Huaiheng had another nightmare. He dreamed that he couldn't even hold his sword steadily, and was picked up by Zhong Kai with a move, and he fell to his knees on the track.

"You've disappointed me so much, Zhou Huaiheng." Zhong Kai's voice was clear and real, as if it was not in a dream.

Zhou Huaiheng woke up suddenly, his hands were trembling, and he didn't listen to the call.

In the group stage in the morning, although Zhou Huaiheng's condition was not very good, he still passed the game without danger and advanced to the top 64.

The coach saw at a glance that something was wrong with him, called him aside alone, and asked him, "What are you doing today?" If you have weak energy, why was you hit by someone when you can fight back? Is it an effect of toothache? ”

Zhou Huaiheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a serious expression: "I'm fine, coach." ”

The coach patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "Behave well." ”

"Good!"

Compared with the tense atmosphere on Zhou Huaiheng's side, Tao Zhenzhen was much more relaxed.

Tao Zhenzhen was on the night shift last night, although she was not too busy, but in the lounge was still different from her own bed, and she couldn't sleep well at all.

finally waited for the shift change colleagues to come, Tao Zhenzhen quickly changed her clothes and rushed home to catch up on sleep.

I don't know when a dessert shop was opened near the hospital, and the decoration was very literary and fresh, which attracted Tao Zhenzhen at a glance.

Tao Zhenzhen touched her gurgling stomach and said to herself, "Let's have breakfast first and then go home." ”

At this time of year, there are not many people in the dessert shop. As soon as Tao Zhenzhen pushed the door open, she heard a rude voice sound: "Don't you have long eyes?" Don't know how to make way for guests? ”

This was followed by the girl's panicked voice: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

When I followed the sound, I saw a burly man standing in the middle of the road, fiercely pointing fingers at a girl in a waiter's suit.

The girl is submissive, and if you look closely, she is still a little familiar.

Looking at the situation, it seems that the girl is blocking the way of the big man.

Tao Zhenzhen, who couldn't stand a little thing and chattered crookedly, called out to the girl in a waiter's suit: "Waiter, please come here, I'll order food." ”

"Okay, wait a minute." The waiter answered, bowed slightly to the big man, and finally got out.

When the waiter approached, Tao Zhenzhen recognized her: "Eh, aren't you Tang Xiaotian?" ”

Tang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment: "It's Qiao Yu's cousin." ”

"Just call me Sister Zhenzhen. Do you work here? ”

"Well, part-time." Tang Xiaotian bit her lip nervously, her cheeks flushed slightly, "Thank you just now." ”

"It's just a gesture," Tao Zhenzhen flipped through the cards, and it was difficult to choose, "Do you have any recommendations?" ”

Tang Xiaotian thought for a while: "It's good to have sandwiches and muffins for breakfast, and you can pair it with a glass of milk or coffee." ”

"Then I want a honey muffin and milk."

Soon, a freshly baked and fragrant breakfast was served on the table.

Tang Xiaotian stood aside, Tao Zhenzhen raised her fork and asked her, "Did Xiao Tian eat breakfast?" Would you like to come some? ”

Tang Xiaotian shook her head shyly.

"Then you're welcome." Vera began to enjoy her breakfast happily.

Tang Xiaotian secretly looked at Tao Zhenzhen, and secretly sighed in her heart: What a beautiful person.

Noticing Tang Xiaotian's snooping gaze, Tao Zhenzhen raised her head with a smile and asked softly, "Really don't try it?" It's delicious. ”

Tang Xiaotian's face turned red suddenly: "No, no need......"

After a while, Tang Xiaotian opened her mouth again and asked Tao Zhenzhen cautiously: "Sister Zhenzhen, can I ask you a question?" How can you become as mature, good-looking, and feminine as you are? ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Tao Zhenzhen almost choked, and quickly took a sip of milk to suppress the shock, "Mature?" Pretty? Feminine? Are you talking about me? ”

Tang Xiaotian nodded very surely.

Tao Zhenzhen touched her face and muttered, "So I'm so well disguised outside?" "It's not even seen as a lazy dead house.

Tang Xiaotian secretly clenched her fists, hesitated for a while, and then spoke: "Sister Zhenzhen, can you...... Teach me how to get better, I don't want to be like this anymore. ”

Tao Zhenzhen sneered: "Is it because of Zhou Huaiheng?" ”

Tang Xiaotian lowered her head, her ears were red: "Hmm." ”

Love is great. Tao Zhenzhen praised.

Tao Zhenzhen fell asleep when she got home, and it was not until she was woken up by Zhou Huaiheng's phone call at noon that she regained consciousness.

Tao Zhenzhen yawned and asked him, "Didn't you play today?" Why do you still have the leisure to call me? What happened to wisdom teeth? Does it hurt badly? ”

"The morning game is over." Zhou Huaiheng's faint voice came slowly, and his voice was low and pleasant, "Are you still sleeping?" ”

"Well, I was on duty all night last night, and I was just woken up by you." Tao Zhenzhen turned over and changed to a more comfortable move, "How was the game?" ”

"Got to the top 16."

"That's pretty good." Tao Zhenzhen chuckled softly.

Zhou Huaiheng looked at his hand, his eyes dimmed. He said expressionlessly, "But I was suddenly a little scared......"

"Afraid of what? Afraid of losing? Tao Zhenzhen comforted Zhou Huaiheng, "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and they are usually normal." ”

"Hmm......" Zhou Huaiheng snorted softly, and then didn't speak again.

There was a long silence.

It was so quiet everywhere that you could hear each other's breathing.

Shallow, long, even, peaceful......

Tao Zhenzhen's sleepiness returned. Her consciousness was a little empty, and she murmured softly and sleepily: "Zhou Huaiheng? ”

"Tao Zhenzhen," Zhou Huaiheng's deep voice sounded slowly, "When I go back, can I hug you?" ”

"Huh?" Tao Zhenzhen's consciousness was completely empty, and she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, and she hummed unconsciously: "Well, it's good......"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Huaiheng touched his pocket and found a white rabbit toffee.

There is a kind of tender feeling, which is tied in the heart, and the inexplicable sense of fear in the heart seems to dispel some.
