Chapter 7: The Meaning of Master and Apprentice

I don't know when he came into the lives of the two of us. Liang Nian thought about it, watching Wang Jinlong being pinched by Li Weiwei's arm in the class, and ran over to Liang Nian with a scream, "Little apprentice, help!" After speaking, he hid behind her, grabbed Liang Nian's shoulders with both hands, and let her, who had just reached her chest, stand in front of her and face Li Weiwei's fangs and claws.

"You two, stop making trouble." Liang Nian's thin body was almost shaken by Wang Jinlong, Li Weiwei panted and stared at Wang Jinlong behind Liang Nian with a smug smile on his face, Liang Nian saw the slender fingers pressed on his shoulder, the strength and touch from the shoulder made her subconsciously want to break away, she stretched out her hand to pull Li Weiwei, and quietly broke free of his hand, Wang Jinlong looked at the hand that was thrown away, and secretly thought in his heart, "This kid is really guarded." Such things are repeated every day, and time flows slowly in the frolic of Li Weiwei and Wang Jinlong.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Liang Nian always feels that Wang Jinlong has had more contact with himself recently, he always grabs his textbook when he gets out of class, spins around in his hands, and always blocks Liang Nian outside when he enters the classroom, with his long legs propped on the door frame, coercing and luring Liang Nian to call the master, and every time he has to wait for Liang Nian's face to cool down before giving up.

This night's self-study, Liang Nian, Cui Jia and the back seat are called Sun Xu, Mingming's two boys are chatting, Sun Xu is a handsome tall boy with eyes, but Liang Nian always feels that he is a little girly, for example, he always carries a small mirror and a comb with a big palm, and combs his pot lid whenever he has time, and every time a boy quarrels with him, he will stretch his voice and scold "Get out~" Every time Liang Nian looks at his delicate skin, he can't help but think, he is really like a sister-like character.

This will Sun Xu is mysteriously chatting about the so-called gossip face, saying that there is a fortune teller in his hometown who sees people's facial features and faces to know the blessings and misfortunes, and several people around him listened, "Not only the facial features, but also the shape and thickness of the earlobes, you can know whether you are a blessed person." "What about me?" Ming Ming turned his face sideways and asked Sun Xu to look at his earlobe, Sun Xu touched it, "When I see that your earlobe is so small and thin, I know that it is a bad luck." As he spoke, he went to look at Cui Jia's earlobe, "Fuck, I'll just say why I've lost money again in the past few days!" Ming Ming scolded and snorted. Liang Nian couldn't help but laugh when he watched Zhao Mingming play with his temper like a child.

"Liang Nian, you pull your hair up, I'll take a look at yours." Sun Xu looked at Liang Nian and made a gesture to pull his hair. Liang Nian smiled and lifted the hair around his ear, revealing a white and rich earlobe, and before Sun Xu could see it clearly, he saw Wang Jinlong behind him stretch out his hand to Liang Nian's earlobe, "Let me see!" As he spoke, he grabbed Liang Nian's ears and rubbed them, "It's okay, it's not too thick!" Liang Nian was tugged by the ear, and subconsciously stood up, his face turned red, "Are you sick?" Wang Jinlong saw Liang Nian with a red face for the first time, and his face was more human, like a doll. couldn't help but want to pinch Liang Nian's ears again, Liang Nian tilted his head, "Don't touch my ears" said and glared at Wang Jinlong, Wang Jinlong looked at her blushing appearance, and couldn't help laughing, "Longlong, why are you so annoying!" Sun Xu patted Wang Jinlong's arm with his hand, Wang Jinlong couldn't help but tremble, and felt goosebumps crawling up from the soles of his feet, "Don't touch me!" The corners of Wang Jinlong's mouth twitched unconsciously, and he glanced at the stiff back of Liang Nian in front of him in disgust.

In the next few days, Wang Jinlong tried his best to pestering Liang Nian, wanting to pinch her ears again, Liang Nian avoided scolding, but he always took the trouble to entangle again and again, and there was nothing he could do to make Liang Nian angry. finally played volleyball between classes, Wang Jinlong whispered to Liang Nian again, "Can I touch your ears?" Liang Nian looked at Wang Jinlong like a madman, "Look, Weiwei will let me touch it, why can't you?" Wang Jinlong walked up to Li Weiwei and pulled Li Weiwei's ears, Li Weiwei was busy watching the game on the volleyball court next to him, and he didn't even pay attention to Wang Jinlong. After speaking, Wang Jinlong stretched out his hand towards Liang Nian again, Liang Nian subconsciously turned around and ran backwards, turned around and crashed into a warm chest, Liang Nian blushed and said sorry, raised his head and saw a pair of familiar slender eyes flashing with a smile, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, Liang Nian was supported by two hands to stand up straight, and exclaimed "Brother Mingming".

Wang Jinlong walked over and saw Huo Zhiming holding Liang Nian with both hands, Liang Nian didn't seem to resist his touch at all, "Yo, why did the second brother come back?" Your university hasn't started yet, huh? Wang Jinlong walked over with a cynical smile, but his eyes looked at Liang Nian, Huo Zhiming squinted his bright but somewhat gloomy eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was a faint look in his eyes, "I'll come back to get something, and by the way, come to see Niannian and my brother." ”

"Niannian?" Wang Jinlong asked, Huo Zhibin's slender hand stroked Liang Nian's somewhat messy hair, "Niannian is my sister, and her father and my father are classmates." Wang Jinlong watched Huo Zhibin's fingers pass through Liang Nian's hair and arrange them one by one, Liang Nian hurriedly stretched out his hand and picked up his hair, "Long, since you are in the same class as Niannian, help me take good care of my sister, if someone bullies her, I will be the first to find you." Huo Zhiming smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and looked at Wang Jinlong. Second brother, your sister, how can others bully her, it's good if she doesn't bully others" Wang Jinlong couldn't help but think of the girl who was slapped by Liang Nian before, how could she not believe it, how could the little girl with a thin body be so strong, "Don't worry, she is my apprentice, and I will cover her." Wang Jinlong looked at Liang Nian with a smile, Liang Nian awkwardly avoided Wang Jinlong's gaze, Huo Zhiming nodded slightly, "Niannian, I'll leave first, I have something to ask Wu Nan to call me." Liang Nian snorted, watching Huo Zhiming's thin back walk away, and couldn't help but think in his heart, his aura was really strong, and he still felt uncomfortable every time he stood next to him.

"Why didn't I know he was still your brother?" Wang Jinlong looked at Liang Nian and asked with deep eyes looking into the distance. "There's so much you don't know." Liang Nian turned around and looked at Wang Jinlong's eyes in a daze, turned around and walked towards the playground. "I don't care, anyway, I promised your brother, I will take care of you, you are my apprentice, the apprentice calls the master to listen!" "Think beautifully." "Hey, you don't know what to do! Scream and listen""......... Get out".

The volleyball match finally started at the end of October, and Li Weiwei and Liang Nian found out that the so-called registration was just a voluntary practice before the game. The game is divided into men's and women's fields, and it is a group stage within the class and the class, and there are not many people in the class who can play volleyball, only one girl named Wang Chenye from the original Mongolian school can play a little, and the others are just novices or can't practice ball.

The first game is against the first and third classes of high school, that is, the Wen class, and it is really very nervous to really play, Li Weiwei and Liang Nian couldn't help but sweat in their palms, but after they started, they found that it was really like Zhang Yuanping said that basically the serve solved all the problems, as long as the serve did not make a mistake, the other party basically couldn't catch it, and several people finished the first game with a smile and laughter, and won 5:3, the so-called win is just that there are three people in the science class who can serve, Wang Chenye, Li Weiwei and Liang Nian, and the second game also narrowly won.

Everyone cheered to watch the men's volleyball game, the men's volleyball game was very intense, and it was obvious that the muscular boys in the science class and the thin and fair-skinned boys in the literature class still had a great advantage, Liang Nian and Li Weiwei looked at Wang Jinlong, Wang Ji'an, Li Rui The three of them skillfully passed the ball, the second pass and smashed the ball, and the constantly strong smash blinded the other party, and couldn't help but add fuel loudly, Wang Jinlong turned around when he heard the scream, nodded at them, and his forehead was full of sweat, which made the girls scream. There was no suspense, winning the game 2:0, several boys withdrew from the women's volleyball team and the girls hurriedly handed them water, Li Weiwei handed the water to Wang Jinlong with a look of admiration, "Master, you are too powerful!" It's so handsome," Wang Jinlong rubbed Li Weiwei's head dotingly, and said with a smile, "It's a must!" Turning around, he saw Liang Nian handing out water to several other boys sitting on the ground. Li Rui took the water while wiping his sweat and said thank you, Liang Nian smiled and handed the water to the others, and saw Wang Ji'an sitting next to Li Rui and bowing his head to make the wound on his palm, Wang Ji'an is a setter, just when he received the ball, the ball was passed too low, Wang Ji'an rushed to the ball in order to catch the ball, although the ball was picked up, but the palm of his hand was also wiped on the cement floor, and he didn't feel pain just now, and he saw that the blood had oozing out.

Liang Nian looked at Wang Ji'an, who lowered her head and seriously picked out the broken stone from the palm of her hand, and also felt a little pitiful, she unscrewed the cap of the water bottle, squatted down and asked Wang Ji'an, "Are you okay?" Wang Ji'an raised his head when he heard the voice, and saw that it was Liang Nian who was startled, and quickly retracted his injured hand back, "It's okay!" "Do you want to wash it with water, it's all sand, and if you don't wash it, I'm afraid it will get infected." Liang Nian frowned and asked, "Ah, okay" Wang Ji'an subconsciously stood up and wanted to take the water bottle, stretched out his right hand and felt that it was not very convenient, he wanted to ask Li Rui to help, Li Rui was talking to the person next to him, and he didn't look at him. "I'll do it." Liang Nian stood up and motioned for Wang Ji'an to stretch out his hand, Wang Ji'an nodded silently, stood up and stretched out his hand, the cold water poured on the wound The irritating pain made Wang Ji'an gasp, Li Rui turned his head to look at this scene, pushed Zhang Yuanping who was drinking water next to him, squeezed his eyes, Zhang Yuanping was afraid that Wang Ji'an would be embarrassed, and shook his head at Li Rui with a smile.

After washing the wound, Liang Nian took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Wang Ji'an, "This paper is thicker, you can wipe the wound." Looking at the serious Liang Nian, Wang Ji Anxin had a warm current in him, as if filling his chest, "Okay, thank you!" The corners of Wang Ji'an's face and mouth were raised, and his pupils glowed brightly, Liang Nian smiled and shook his head and handed the water to another person. Seeing this scene, Wang Jinlong unconsciously clenched the mineral water bottle in his hand.

The volleyball match with Mengban in the afternoon did not go well, the women's volleyball team started before the men's volleyball team, Liang Nian was not in a very good state in the afternoon, and lost two goals in succession, so after losing the game 5:2 in the first game, although he didn't say it explicitly, Wang Chenye signaled that he wanted Liang Nian to go down to another girl, and Liang Nian could still notice that Wang Chenye was a little angry. Although she felt uncomfortable, she thought, okay, no matter what, don't drag the class back.

Just as he was about to open his mouth and take the initiative to say that I won't be on the next game, I heard Wang Jinlong standing behind him and saying to Wang Chenye, "In the next game, Liang Nian will stand and pass, she will pass more steadily, and you will be in the position of the main attacker" Wang Chenye opened his mouth to say something, and saw that Wang Jinlong's dark eyes were looking at him warningly, so he pursed his lips and did not speak. Liang Nian turned around and whispered to Wang Jinlong, "I'm afraid I can't do it, let's change it to someone else" "I'm a little confident that you are my apprentice, I believe in you" Wang Jinlong gently patted Liang Nian's shoulder and comforted, the men's volleyball team also shouted that it was time to start the game, Wang Jinlong nodded at Liang Nian, "Relax, just follow what we usually practice." Liang Nian looked at his dark eyes, took a breath, and his heart calmed down a lot.

The game began, Liang Nian followed the usual half-squatting posture, nervously waited for the opponent's hit with two hands, and every time his feet moved, it was as if he heard Wang Jinlong shouting when he was practicing, "Squat down, keep your eyes on the ball, and move your feet!" After the whole game, Liang Nian, who usually runs two laps of the playground without sweating, was sweating profusely, but fortunately he didn't lose a ball. 3:3 Meng Banduo got a ball, and he could clearly feel that Wang Chenye began to get anxious, and began to run all over the court, and he had been complaining that the female position of the setter and the secondary attack hindered her from receiving the ball, and lost another ball, and the atmosphere of the whole team began to drop, and the restless mood permeated everyone.

The most critical time for the start of 4:3 came, everyone was very nervous, and if this game was lost, it would be completely over. Liang Nian also began to get nervous, his palms couldn't stop sweating, the other party came over in the serve, Liang Nian stared at the ball tightly, and saw that it was sent to the middle position, the setter in the middle stood in front of the net, it was empty, Liang Nian's body rushed forward, his wrist lowered and wanted to catch the ball, his wrist turned on the ground, the ball hit the bone at Liang Nian's wrist, folded out and picked it up, and almost crossed the net when he hit the net. There were cheers from the other party, Li Weiwei and the others hurriedly helped Liang Nian from the ground, Liang Nian hit the bone because of the strength of the ball, and his wrist also sent out bursts of pain. The men's volleyball team also lost the game in the afternoon, because the other two games were won, so both the men's and women's volleyball teams got the second place.

After returning to the class, Wang Chenye couldn't help complaining, "If you find a few who don't know anything, you will play, and if you can't fight, don't go up to join in the fun", Liang Nian sat in the seat and listened to her complaining louder and louder, such as sitting on pins and needles, the whole person was warm, and the injury was even more painful. "Wang Chenye, why do you keep losing the ball when you're so good?" As soon as Wang Jinlong and Zhang Yuanping came in from the back door, they heard Wang Chenye shouting in the class, and Liang Nian in front of them lowered his head and rubbed his wrists in silence. Wang Jinlong frowned and shouted at Wang Chenye, "Are you alone on the volleyball court, why don't you pass the ball, I let you go up, if you don't accept it, tell me!" Liang Nian felt a little unable to stay any longer, stood up and walked out of the front door, and could vaguely hear what Wang Jinlong and Wang Chenye were arguing about in the class.

After a long time, Liang Nian would occasionally think of that time, if she was 25 years old, Liang Nian would definitely grasp all kinds of stronghold matters to refute and defend herself, but at that time, she was 17 years old, and she would only run away when she was criticized. Liang Nian squatted on the cement steps behind the teaching building, looking at the empty field and gray walls behind, his heart was like a block of cotton, and he couldn't get rid of it, so he could only masochize himself and press his bruised wrist harder and harder, scolding himself in his heart, leaning against the wall behind him, waiting for the bell to ring before returning to the class to face the embarrassing situation. A pair of black sneakers stopped in front of Liang Nian's eyes, she didn't look up, and she knew who this person was.

Wang Jinlong stood in front of Liang Nian for a long time, his eyes were dark, staring at the girl curled up and sitting by the wall in front of him, thinking of her stubborn appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Liang Nian felt that his gaze couldn't even make eye contact with him, so he had to keep his head down and continue to stare at the black sneakers on the ground. He sighed and sat down on Liang Nian's right, and pulled her red and swollen wrist, "Does it hurt", Liang Nian forced himself to twist out a smile, "I'm fine." He pressed it hard, and Liang Nian subconsciously took a cool breath. "It's okay, aren't you stupid, won't you scold back if you've been wronged, won't you say it when it hurts, how do I usually teach you, why are you so cowardly?"

"Don't move" He scolded Liang Nian while rubbing his wrist vigorously, glaring, and then couldn't help but relax the strength in his hand, slowly rubbing the bruises on his wrists. Liang Nian's nose was sore, and the line of defense was about to collapse, tears were about to overflow, his nose twitched, he turned his head sideways and didn't want him to see it, "turn around" He said to Liang Nian, Liang Nian didn't move awkwardly, Wang Jinlong stood up again and squatted in front of Liang Nian and pulled her head, so that Liang Nian had to look at him directly, his pupils emitted a dark and serious light, "If you want to cry, cry, you are my apprentice, you don't have to pretend in front of me", as his voice fell, there were uncontrollable tears in Liang Nian's eyes, and the depressing grievances and sadness swept in.

Liang Nian couldn't remember what happened in the end that day, but she knew that something was different, and at that moment, she understood that the so-called master and apprentice may not only be a title, but also represent a kind of connection that brings people together. That night, she curled up in the warm quilt, smelling the bitter smell of Yunnan Baiyao that Wang Jinlong asked Weiwei to bring back from her wrist, and flipped out her phone to send him the first message.

Wang Jinlong was squatting on the ground playing cards with the boys in the dormitory, and the room was filled with a thick smell of smoke. "lost again!" Wang Jinlong threw the cards in his hand and couldn't help scolding, Zhang Yuanping and Zhao Dongsheng next to him laughed and scolded, "Maybe you stepped on shit on the way back, and your luck this night is too bad!" ”

There was a dinging sound from the mobile phone on the bed, Wang Jinlong frowned and took the last puff of cigarette, snuffed it out in the Coke bottle next to him, stood up and moved the joints that made a clicking sound, stretched his waist, and scooped up the mobile phone on the bed, and the note that entered his eyes was a little apprentice, Wang Jinlong thought about it and clicked on the message, looked at it twice and couldn't help but slowly raise the corners of his mouth up. He closed his phone and went downstairs to wash up satisfied, "You're not playing?" Zhao Dongsheng asked in the back, Wang Jinlong turned his back to them and waved his hand as he went downstairs, "Brother is in a good mood today, so let's play here, and the lost money should be given to you pocket money!" Lying in bed at night and recalling the text message, he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and read it again, there were only four simple words on it, "Master, good night." Wang Jinlong turned to face the wall, raised the corners of his mouth in the darkness, closed his eyes and whispered, "Good night." ”
