Chapter 3: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (4)
The dormitory is not far away, in the community not far from the martial arts hall, and it takes ten minutes to walk. The environment in the community is good, the trees are verdant, clean and quiet. Coach Zhang took them to Room 202, Unit 6, Building 13, and after Wang Gang took out the key from his bag and opened the door, they took off their shoes and crept into the room. The house is large, with three bedrooms and a living room, and behind the door of the living room there is a shoe rack filled with shoes of various colors. In the living room, there is a sofa, a coffee table, a TV cabinet, an old TV set on top of the TV cabinet, and a water dispenser next to the TV cabinet, and the Yili mineral water bucket on the water dispenser is no longer dripping. There are a few hand targets and a few fist gloves on the sofa, and a few empty wine bottles, an ashtray, a set of tea sets, and three egg steamers are placed on the coffee table. The kitchen is small,
The rice cooker on the stove was steaming, and there were several jars of protein protein powder and many bottles and bowls, five plates of eggs were placed in the stove, the gas stove was stained with oil, and the trash can was full of food scraps emitting a foul smell, and a layer of white broken egg shells was thrown on the residue.
There were two boxers in the kitchen who were stir-frying, and when they saw Coach Zhang walking in, they hurriedly greeted Coach Zhang.
"Wang Gang, I'm going to call everyone to do the sanitation of the dormitory." Coach Zhang said to Wang Gang.
"Well, okay, Coach Zhang." Wang Gang responded.
After the five boys walked into the master bedroom, Coach Zhang and Wang Gang took Tang Long to the second bedroom, where there were three bunk iron frame beds and three wardrobes. Coach Zhang asked Wang Gang which bed no one was sleeping in, and Wang Gang pointed to the lower bunk of an iron frame bed near the window, saying that there was no one sleeping in that bed.
Coach Zhang said to Tang Long, then you will rest here in the future. Tang Long nodded and said yes, and put the backpack on the bed.
After Coach Zhang arranged Tang Long's bed, he came to the door of the master bedroom, knocked on the door, and shouted:
"Little ones, let's go, go upstairs for dinner."
The five children immediately rushed out when they heard the sound and followed Coach Zhang out.
Wang Gang opened the door of a cabinet with a key inserted, the cabinet was empty, and Wang Gang told Tang Long that this cabinet could be used. Tang Long put his backpack into the cabinet, locked the cabinet door, and followed Wang Gang to a Lanzhou ramen restaurant outside the community for lunch.
The waiter brought a pot of chrysanthemum wolfberry tea and handed Wang Gang a menu, Wang Gang ordered two plates of beef fried ramen, a plate of Xinjiang chicken, a plate of cold beef, a plate of stir-fried beef offal, and a plate of tomato scrambled eggs.
After returning to the dormitory from the Lanzhou ramen restaurant, the tired Tang Long lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep, I don't know how long later, he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, woke up from his sleep, he saw five blurred children's faces shaking in front of his eyes. He glanced at them and closed his eyes again. At this time, two fingers reached over and pinched his nose.
"What?" He snapped open his eyes and scolded.
He sees Applejack's arms retract from his face like a snake. Ha ha...... Applejack, the bright-eyed and dark-faced child, glanced back at the other four children and laughed happily with them, her mouth closed.
"Applejack, you're kidding someone else again?" Wang Gang walked in from the living room and said.
"I'm telling Brother Tang Long to get up." Applejack said, her eyes wide open.
Wang Gang frowned and pretended to be angry and glanced at Applejack, and then said to the sleepy-eyed Tang Long, "Training at four o'clock, it's now three twenty, hurry up!" â
Tang Long immediately got up, went to the bathroom that smelled of urine, wiped his face, and followed Wang Gang to the club. It was 3:45 a.m. when I arrived at the club, and most of the students arrived, some of them were freekicking and beating sandbags, some were pressing their legs, stretching their bodies, and some were wrapping bandages. The afternoon training soon began, and after the warm-up, except for him, who continued to practice straight boxing under the guidance of Coach Hu, the other fighters were practicing actual combat confrontation.
After an hour and a half of high-intensity training, he stretched his body, and then, after Tang Long came to the shower room to cool off and pack up his clothes, he said goodbye to the coach and other students, left Pengqiang Fight Club, and walked back to Shenzhen University. The dormitory was empty, and the three roommates' homes were all in Shenzhen, and he usually didn't come back on weekends, so he put his clothes in the washing machine, started the laundry program, and then came to the Shenzhen University cafeteria for dinner.
Because it was a weekend, there were a lot fewer people in the cafeteria. As soon as Tang Long walked into the cafeteria, he found that many people were staring at him with a strange gaze, and even the eyes of the chef who was cooking in the cafeteria were strange, making him hairy. He lowered his head, rarely packed in the cafeteria, asked the master to help pack a white-cut chicken rice, and hurried out of the restaurant as if he was running away.
He carried the pork knuckle rice, returned to the dormitory, and took the elevator to the rooftop, where there was a broken bamboo mat in the middle of the roof, and he sat on it and devoured it.
After eating, he lay on the mat and looked anxiously at the night sky, which was dim and uncertain, and there was not a trace of moonlight and starlight. The loneliness he had never felt before enveloped him like the deep sea. After a while, the phone vibrate. He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a call from Jin Yuhua.
"Xiaolong, have you had dinner?" Jin Yuhua said on the other end of the phone.
"Just ate it."
"How was your boxing practice today?"
"It's fine."
"If you don't come back at night, let's call my mother, so that we can feel at ease."
"Okay, I'll hang up on nothing."
"This kid ......," Jin Yuhua sighed on the other end of the phone.
Not long after Jin Yuhua's phone hung up, Bai Sumei's WeChat came.
Bai Sumei: Tang Long, where are you?
Tang Long: In Shenzhen University.
Bai Sumei: Where is Shenda?
Tang Long: What are you doing?
Bai Sumei: I want to meet you.
Tang Long: If there is anything you can say on WeChat?
Bai Sumei: I want to meet and talk to you.
Tang Long: I'm on the rooftop of Fenghuai Zhai.
Bai Sumei: I'm at home, I'll come right away.
More than thirty minutes later, the sound of her small footsteps sounded on the Tiantai Mountain of Fenghuai Zhai, and when he heard the footsteps, Tang Long hurriedly sat up from the bamboo mat.
"Tang Long, Tang Long." She shouted softly from the rooftop.
"I'm here." Tang Long said.
Bai Sumei, who was dressed in a white dress, followed the voice to Tang Long's side, and she saw Tang Long sitting on the bamboo mat, so she took off her shoes and sat beside Tang Long with her legs crossed.
"I'm sorry, Tang Long." Bai Sumei turned her face sideways and glanced at Tang Long and said.
Her voice was slow and heavy, like the sound of fallen leaves on the rooftop rubbing against the ground as they rolled on the ground as they were pushed by the breeze.
"It's okay, it's not your fault...... You don't have to tell me you're sorry all the time. Tang Long said.
Although he was worried about becoming a joke on the Internet, although he seemed to see the whole of China looking at the video of him being beaten on the mobile phone screen with disdain, and hearing the ridicule of all Chinese, when Bai Sumei came to the rooftop of a small world that seemed to be his own and sat beside him, his heart carrying pain and suffering was greatly comforted.
"I know what kind of troubles these articles that distort the facts will bring you, and I hope you can get out of these troubles without affecting your study and life."
"It's not a big deal, it won't bother me all the time."
"That's good."
"Pushkin has a famous poem that is very well written: everything is instantaneous, everything will pass; And what has passed will become a cordial nostalgia. â
"Yes, I've also read this poem - 'If Life Deceives You.'"
"This thing will eventually pass, nothing."
"I met him during the summer vacation, one weekend night during the summer vacation, I was arranged by the modeling agency to go to their family's night bar in OCT to hold a fighting match, that day he was watching the game on the spot, he asked me for a phone number, kept sending me messages, and later I knew that he was the son of the owner of the dark night bar, and also knew that he was a 2015 student of the Department of Business Administration of the School of Management of Shenzhen University, at that time I had just received the admission letter of Shenzhen University, and I was also an alumnus and a native of Shenzhen, which shortened the distance between us. A few months later, we were in a relationship. At first, they got along well, but soon his paranoid side began to emerge, I liked freedom, and he was extremely controlling and suspicious. We broke up, but after we broke up, he would keep apologizing to me, sticking like soft sticky candy, and we went on until now, and I realized that I didn't know him at all. â
Tang Long was silent, looking at the Hanking Group Headquarters Building, the lights on the building depicted the eye-catching slogan of IâĽSZ, white English letters, red heart-shaped patterns, burning through the thick night.
