Chapter 31: Past and Present

People are working tirelessly to and fro every day for something, and Leon looks through the car window at the pedestrians on both sides of the road.

"Drive a little slower, we're not in a hurry." He reminded Ricardo.

What he saw was one of all kinds of people, with all kinds of potential inspirational stories.

Leaning back in his chair, closing his eyes, his mind returning to his childhood.

Since he was a child, he liked to listen to his father and mother tell him bedtime stories, and the stories told by his mother ended happily, but his father's stories never told the ending.

It was only when I grew up that I realized the ending of my father's story, which is one memorable lesson after another.

Even if it is the only story that has been told, it is the story of him and his mother from acquaintance to love.

No matter how much artistic processing has been undertaken, it can be summed up in the simple words 'love at first sight'.

The two met for the first time at the prom, and his father fell in love with her when he first met his mother.

My mother was going to return to China at that time, but she couldn't bear the frequent overtures from people with hearts.

The two people met and fell in love without any prejudice, and then without being recognized by the two families, the two finally came together with their respective attachments.

Leon loves to listen to this story told by his father, just like in a clichΓ© love movie, and he has always been looking for his own unique love.

Until one day my mother told me that you should learn to see people's hearts through their essence, not to be in a hurry to reject others, and not to be discouraged by others' rejection.

You will always meet someone who doesn't ask for anything from you and only wants to be with you.

……

The first person met as early as the year of his debut, and the two worked together in the same company for eight years, and they were already good friends who talked about everything in private.

Recalling the first time he met her, Leon still disliked Taylor's dress as a country girl, rustic.

From then on, he was pestered by her until Leon changed his prejudices.

She always said very little and did a good job.

Divide everything very carefully, always afraid of indebting others, and never think about asking for anything from others, just so upright.

Is there an unforgettable love? Maybe there is...

From his predecessors, Leon did learn a lot.

The most memorable time was when I called Taylor and cried when I was drunk for the first time, which led to her being ridiculed until now.

Looking back, was I really sad because of my broken love? It's more because the person who was dumped was himself.

All the exes are with them with a purpose, and everyone knows how to take what they need.

And he still doesn't understand what Leo said about long-term love is based on.

……

Before you know it, the car has reached its destination and is quietly parked in the parking lot.

After taking the cigarette from Ricardo, he looked out the car window at the signal of his eyes, and Li Jaejing and Li Shengjing were talking not far away.

After getting out of the car, the group led by Li Zaijing came to the third floor and went directly to the locker room, while Li Shengjing went to the training room next to him in advance and waited.

When I entered the locker room behind Lee Jae-kyung, I saw a few girls wearing only underwear playing inside.

How does this scene look a little familiar, Li Ang coughed lightly twice and looked at Li Zaijing with some confusion.

Lee Jae-kyung smiled and stepped forward to wrap his arms around the waists of the two girls, and explained to Li Ang: "Heong, don't do a warm-up exercise before exercising." ”

Li Ang pushed away the woman who wanted to stick it without a trace, gave him a middle finger, and directly changed his clothes.

Wearing only a pair of shorts and a sleeveless vest Lee, Lee Ang didn't care about Lee Jae-kyung, who was focusing on flirting.

Walking out of the locker room, under the leadership of the person in charge of the field, he came to the training ground barefoot.

As soon as I entered the training room, I heard the sound of muscle collision and shouting, which continued to echo in the room.

"That's the right taste." Seeing this situation, Li Ang instructed the person in charge who couldn't be named next to him: "Go and help me get two pairs of finger gloves and two pairs of boxing targets first." ”

While the activist was muscular and bones, he looked at Cho Seung-chan who was practicing his movements in the octagon cage with interest, and cast a meaningful expression at Ricardo, who was standing behind him. "I didn't expect him to like mixed martial arts at a young age."

"His level is still far from that of the boss, he probably hasn't practiced it well, and his moves are only superficial."

"It's the first time I've heard you compliment someone like this, it's quite strange."

Li Ang began to warm up at the sandbags on the side, "When I go back, clear the second floor of the cafΓ© next to the bar, it's too wasteful to put things in such a big place." ”

"I'll arrange for someone to do it."

Took over the gloves and targets from the person in charge who trotted all the way.

After putting on the gloves, throw the target to Ricardo.

After not practicing properly for a while, Ricardo cooperated with Leon to start his daily target shooting and dodge training.

After about half an hour, Li Ang, who had finished warming up, took the towel and water handed by his subordinates, and began to replenish water while wiping his sweat.

……

"Ah, at your level, you're embarrassed to be my guard, just take the money and leave."

Drawn to the scolding, Leon shifted his gaze to everyone's focus and got up and walked towards the octagon.

Zhao Chengcan kicked the guard lying on the ground again and again, and kept asking his family. It wasn't until he had enough venting that he dragged him out, and the coach on the side flatteringly handed him a towel.

At this time, Li Ang entered the octagon cage, squatted down and looked at Zhao Chengchan, who was sitting on the floor and about to take off his gloves, "Are you interested in the two of us having a game?" ”

"Ah, you kid is neither big nor small, how can you talk to the council?"

Li Ang glanced back at the hand on his shoulder, and asked Zhao Chengcan with some impatience: "Who is he?" ”

"My personal trainer." Just looked at Li Ang in front of him and raised his eyebrows, the air was inexplicably filled with the smell of gunpowder, looking forward to what his reaction would be next.

In this regard, Li Ang curled the corners of his mouth slightly, snorted coldly, and then stared at Zhao Chengcan expressionlessly.

Unexpectedly, he quickly clasped his left wrist on his shoulder, and suddenly bent over and stood up, without giving him time to react.

Two back-to-back heavy hooks sideways hit him in the upper abdomen. Leaning down and easily dodging the punch he threw at random after suffering pain.

As he turned around, his left elbow slammed directly on his chin, causing him to lose his center of gravity and stumble, and the elbow made up for the last blow directly on his temple.

The whole set of actions was only a few seconds from the end of the shot, and the blindless man instantly lost consciousness and fell to the ground heavily, without the slightest reaction.

"He... He's not going to just die. Zhao Chengcan was taken aback by the sudden scene in front of him, and looked up at Li Ang with some surprise.

Li Ang picked up a towel from the stunned Zhao Chengcan like a nobody, and wiped some blood stains on his arm.

The extraordinary psychological quality made Zhao Chengcan quickly calm down, stepped forward to probe the personal trainer's snort, and found that the person was not dead, so he beckoned his subordinates to send the person to the hospital quickly.

……

As soon as he came to the training room, Li Zaijing saw Zhao Chengcan's coach being carried out, and before he could ask what happened, he was stuffed with a pair of fists in his hands.

"Zaijing, warm up, I just haven't had a good time, so you can accompany me for a while." Stuff the gloves into him.

Zhao Chengcan had already started to rest in the rest area on the side, talking and laughing with the girls, as if nothing had happened just now.

Li Zaijing looked at the direction where Li Shengjing was sitting and said with some hesitation: "Heong, this is not appropriate, or I will let the guards accompany you to fight, they often do this kind of work, and they all know how to be measured." ”

"I don't want to repeat it a second time." Leon turned his neck and looked at him coldly, not in a tone that was discussing with him.

After a one-sided crushing and fat beating, Lee Jae-kyung lay on the stage panting heavily. "I feel like I'm going to fall apart, heong, you're really ruthless."

"That's interesting, isn't it?" Leon took off his gloves, sniffed the strong smell on his hands, and prepared to take a shower and change clothes.

Seeing Li Ang's slightly lazy appearance and the side face with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Zaijing felt a wave of frustration in his heart, and he knew that he would not propose to come here today.

Li Ang's figure gradually faded away, until it disappeared, Li Zaijing slowly sat up, took off his gloves and protective gear and threw them aside with some annoyance.

……

Cho Seung-chan and Lee Jae-kyung each found an excuse to say that they had other things to do, so they left like this.

Leon was left alone with nothing to do, and he didn't say what he wanted to do, just let Ricardo drive around the street in a random circle.

On the road, you can occasionally see a few young men and women, some holding hands, or walking in groups of three or five, with happy smiles on their faces.

Leon looked at this picture through the car window, but a little loneliness and loneliness rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh. Ricardo glanced in the rearview mirror, didn't say anything, and continued to focus on driving.

Li Ang supported his chin with one hand, and looked decadent. Open the phone's address book and search for contacts boringly.

I really couldn't find anyone to contact, so I could only continue to look out the window in a daze.

"What is she doing here?" Leon looked at the familiar figure that flashed outside the car window and muttered in his heart.

Ricardo leaned against the side of the road to stop the car, and told him, "You and the two of you go back first, and I'll drive around for a while." ”

Seeing Ricardo get into the car behind him and leave, Leon came to the driver's seat and began to wait.

Until the familiar figure passed behind the car again, Li Ang honked the horn to remind her who was bowing her head to play with her mobile phone.

The other party looked up at the car honking the horn next to him, then retracted his gaze, lowered his head and complained, and continued to walk forward without slowing down.

Leon then remembered that she had never seen her car, so she lowered the window and started the car and slowly followed.

honked the horn again to remind her, and the other party couldn't help frowning and turning around when he heard the horn ring again.

"Senior, why are you here, are you alone?" Concubine Quan Enfei bent down with her hair in her hands, looked at Li Ang in the driver's seat and asked with some surprise.

"I was playing with my friends around for a while, and I just wandered around with nothing to do." Li Ang looked at her somewhat melancholy appearance, and couldn't help but ask again: "What, what's the matter, in a bad mood?" ”

Concubine Kwon looked around and nodded slightly, "Hmm... Some irritability. ”

"Are you going back? Let's get in the car, I'm just going back on the way. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Quan En's concubine didn't say anything, just thanked her lightly, opened the car door and sat in the car.

"Have you been having trouble at work lately? How did you get to Mapo? Leon asked tentatively, her dejected look, there seemed to be nothing else except for work problems.

"No....." Concubine Quan Enfei was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's just that I just went to interview the trainee and didn't pass." After speaking, he sighed with relief, "I'm thinking about whether to give up the unrealistic fantasy of being an idol." ”

Li Ang shook his head and chuckled, he only thought she was cute, but he still persuaded: "How can life be easy, in addition to a large part of the strength still depends on luck, when you have worked very hard, you might as well think about it, maybe you are not inferior to others is strength, but that little bit of luck." ”

"Actually, everyone needs the support of luck to go higher."

"Luck?" Concubine Kwon didn't seem to understand too much, for her who had already debuted, it didn't take long for the company to declare bankruptcy, and the group was disbanded, I don't know if this is good luck or bad luck.

"Luck is fate." Li Ang smiled, "Whoever is lucky enough, God will help him." People who are too unlucky may spend their whole lives making wedding dresses for others. ”

"Or take shortcuts? The kind that can easily change your fate and get what you want? Concubine Quan tilted her head to look at Li Ang, who was concentrating on driving, her eyes were full of ridicule.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and for a moment there was silence in the car.

Feeling that this sentence was a little inappropriate, Concubine Kwon Eun was a little embarrassed and explained: "This was taught to me by my sisters who work together at the bar." ”

"It's nothing, everyone has the right to choose their own future, and they just need to follow their hearts as they want to live. On the contrary, I admire people who are brave enough to take shortcuts, and they all have a unique appeal. Leon shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

"Ahem...... Concubine Quan Eun cleared her throat, looked down at her beautiful figure, and plucked up the courage to ask, "Then Oba, do you think I can do the same?" ”

"You? What strengths do you think you have? Before they knew it, the two of them were chatting all the way, and they had come to the downstairs of the apartment behind the bar.

Feeling Li Ang's burning gaze on him, he was a little embarrassed not to look back, "Good figure, is it a ......?"

Hearing her say this, Li Ang did not speak, but unbuckled the seat belt, moved his body and quickly approached her, ready to unbuckle her seat belt and let the little woman who pretended to be mature leave quickly.

Seeing Li Ang's hand stretched out, Quan Enfei's breathing began to become stronger, he straightened up nervously, clenched his hands into a fist, and clenched the corners of his clothes tightly.

Like an ostrich, he closed his eyes as if evading.

Li Ang helped her unbuckle her seat belt, and when he saw her cute appearance, he felt a little funny and touched his chin and returned to his position to sit down.

"You are indeed beautiful, but that doesn't mean you have the capital to be more than ordinarily beautiful. That is, there are too many people who are beautiful and have good figures. Leon took out a cigarette and lit it, and began to issue an eviction order.

"I'll be very obedient, since everyone else can do it, then I don't think it's going to be worse than them..."Concubine Quan Eun opened her eyes and looked at Li Ang, her deep pupils reflecting his face.

"Oh~" Li Ang pulled out a long tail and spat out a puff of smoke at her mischievously. Seeing that she was choked and coughed, he hooked her jaw with his index finger and looked at it carefully, "You are still too young, work hard, a fast life is not for you." ”
