Chapter 53: Between the Races (Two Shifts in One)
Seeing Zhang Zhutong knocked out of the ring by Lou Cheng, and when he heard the referee's announcement of the result, the audience was silent, and no audience shouted or cheered, not that they didn't want to, but the stalemate and tension of the previous battle, which made them nervous and always suffering, as if they had also experienced such a difficult and fierce game, and when the winner was decided, no matter who was supporting, the first thing was to be relieved, all of them were exhausted, physically and mentally tired, happy and quiet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It wasn't until Lou Cheng straightened up, raised his hands high, and raised his head to the sky and roared that their passion ignited and the sound boiled suddenly.
"Lou Cheng! Lou Cheng!"
"Win, win, win!"
All kinds of cheers echoed in the martial arts hall, converging into a wave that almost toppled the roof.
However, they soon quieted down again, because Lou Cheng in the ring was holding his knees with his hands and gasping for breath, and his sweat on the big screen fell drop by drop, smashing into the surface of the broken green bricks, splashing into countless fine spots, and his eyes lost their depth and brilliance, like a blind man who could only see a piece of darkness.
Will he get tired too?
Will he get tired too?
No matter how perverted the physical strength is, there is a limit?
One thought after another slipped through the hearts of the audience, and suddenly felt that this young warrior who had won a hard battle was not a superman, he was still a person with the same living normal concept as everyone else, no longer so distant and so cordial that he seemed to be able to touch it with his hand, and in the battle just now, he really tried his best to squeeze out the bone marrow before he could win the leapfrog.
The goodwill in their hearts rose unconsciously.
Yan Zheke covered his mouth, his spirit was tired, and his feelings were surging.
Looking at Lou Cheng, who finally showed a tired appearance in the ring, recalling his "come again" drink just now and completely suppressed Zhang Zhutong's momentum, she felt distressed, pity, pride, pride, excitement, joy, and wanted to hug her boyfriend hard regardless of it!
Zhang Zhutong was lying on the ground next to the ring, his thoughts gradually recovered, he saw the transparent glass ceiling, and saw the rising moon that was strong in the light pollution, only to feel that the surroundings were peaceful, so quiet that he seemed not to be in the martial arts arena, and was still in the white mist of the ultra-low temperature cold therapy system.
Lost?
After three years of waiting, three years of hard training, and just like that, you lost?
Although victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, but three years later, I have reached the age of 26, unless the rules are changed, otherwise it is impossible to enter the ring of the youth competition and win this laurel to prove myself, and even if I can be taken care of and the age limit is relaxed, after three years, what level can Lou Cheng grow to? Just thinking about it is terrifying.
It's never going to be possible, I'm never going to win the youth championship again.
There are things that, once missed, will not be restarted.
Zhang Zhutong was weak, his muscles were sore, and he wanted to lie quietly like this, unwilling to get up and face the reality of failure, but in such silence, he heard the sound of gasping like he was breathing hard.
Tilting his head, he saw Lou Cheng, saw Lou Cheng with an upward posture, and saw his gloomy and tired eyes.
Is he tired?
His physical strength is not without limits!
In an instant, strong chagrin and remorse gushed out, occupying Zhang Zhutong's mind and gnawing at his heart.
I knew that he would be tired, and I knew that his limit was here, how could I mess up just now, and I was suppressed by him, which affected my spirit, slowed down, and exposed my flaws!
If you continue to play the same way you played, I will be the one who wins!
After seeing Lou Cheng's limit clearly, Zhang Zhutong gritted his teeth, feeling that he could win the final victory by coming five or ten times, but the game was over, and time could not be turned back.
A loss is a loss, the winner enjoys the glory, and the loser has no excuse.
He smiled bitterly, got up, patted the dust off his body, and walked lonely to the lounge, suffering regret and licking his wounds.
This is martial arts, this is life.
As soon as he took two steps, the audience came back to their senses, and many people shouted:
"Lou Cheng! Lou Cheng!"
Immediately after, a sharp and immature female voice ran out:
โSuper.star๏ผSuper.star๏ผโ
Lou Cheng Super.star!
Listening to Wu Ting's screams and watching her jumping and jumping performance, Wei Renjie smiled with mixed emotions and turned his head to look at Sun Yixing and Chu Weicai.
Chu Weicai and Sun Yixing didn't say anything, only gave a thumbs up.
Yes, Lou Cheng can sit on the top spot of the young warriors in this province!
Yes, he is the Number.one of the young warriors of this province!
............
"Win, win!"
Lou Zhisheng didn't dare to believe that his son had won the victory until this time, jumped up, forgot the reserve of intellectuals, and shouted like a young man.
"Win and win......" Qi Fang pulled him, looked at the ring with concern, and asked nervously, "Is Chengzi okay?"
In the past, when he was in junior high school, some classmates were punished for running laps and died suddenly!
"It's okay, it's okay, you see, he's relieved, and he's greeting everyone. Lou Zhisheng's eyes had been staring at the ring and the big screen, and he saw Lou Cheng's eyes regain a little brilliance, around the edge, facing the audience, and raising his hands to applaud.
"That's good, that's good!" Qi Fang breathed a sigh of relief, forgetting his age, and followed the excited audience around him, making a human wave.
The martial arts competition is really exciting and thrilling! This is her intuitive feeling, but she can no longer say that for the sake of safety, she should not take the road of martial arts.
Son, you are our pride!
Looking at his cousin who was going around the field as a winner, thinking about the tired look of his eyes that had dimmed for a short time, Qi Yunfei suddenly clearly felt that Lou Cheng's brother was not noisy, noisy, unassuming, and showing off.
Recalling the punches and kicks that impressed him, the momentum of the roar, the sense of strength of the bulging muscles, and the strength of the defeated enemy who could shake the ring by stomping his feet, Qi Yunfei blushed and muttered with a low smile:
"I'm really a brother and I have ......"
She rarely looked left and right shyly, afraid that someone would detect her mood, but Chen Xiaoxiao, Ma Xi, Qiu Hailin, Cao Lele and others had their own reactions, each excited, each with their own ideas, and no one paid attention to her at all.
............
Inside the living room of the house.
Lou Yuanwei let go of the fist clenched because of the glued battle, and joy surged up, spurting out.
But he immediately showed more emotions, staring at the TV in a daze, looking at the tired Lou Cheng, and winding around the Lou Cheng.
At this time, he felt that he could hardly remember what Lou Cheng had been like in the past ten years.
He has really changed dramatically, making the relatives who are often in contact feel an indescribable strangeness.
I don't even recognize it......
I really want to live like him, no, half of it, just a tenth of it!
The old man Lou Debang held his own cigarette in his hand, forgot to light it, and said to himself blankly:
"Win?"
"Won the top seed?"
Dozens of seconds later, he woke up suddenly, touched the side, but didn't find anything, so he shouted angrily:
"Zhiqiang, bring me my phone!"
I'm going to call them back one by one!
Lou Zhiqiang's body trembled when he was yelled, and then looked at his wife with vicious eyes, and whispered stiffly:
"If you win, you win, what ......are you excited about?"
............
In the high school class group, after a few minutes of no one speaking.
Lou Cheng's other tablemate, Wang Jie, came out and said:
"I'm going to seal oranges and be my idol!"
Cao Lele followed:
"He's already my idol!"
Tao Xiaofei smiled with Yao's name:
"Brother Lou has long been my idol!"
You're so outdated!
There were not many students who came out to sigh, and the others were just having a good time at first, excited by this incident, but witnessing a classmate who was not too familiar or even relatively unfamiliar really won great glory, and after becoming famous, they felt quite complicated and did not want to speak for a while.
Where there is comparison, there is harm.
............
In the live broadcast room of Xingxing Provincial TV Station, the host was silent for a moment before he reluctantly smiled:
"Teacher Yu Hong, what do you think of the result of this game?"
Yu Hong smiled and sighed:
"Lou Chengzhen is a person who is good at creating miracles. โ
In a month or two, Lou Cheng and Zhang Zhutong will play ten more games, and they may be able to win one or two games, but he will complete it at the most important moment and the most critical occasion.
Ten out of 10 games!
No one can say it, dare to say it, he is weaker than Zhang Zhutong!
............
After listening to the guest's grandfather's comments and seeing that Lou Cheng had regained his ability to act, Yan Xiaoling let go of her worries, and the emotions she had suppressed in the past two days completely exploded, and she posted several posts in the form of a version chat:
"Come on, come on, you sunspots, who can only get into the top four by recruiting from outside the plate? Who will definitely kneel when they meet Zhang Zhutong or Han Zhifei?"
"Come on, come on, hurt each other!"
"Our family Lou Cheng not only wants to enter the top four, but also enters the final, and he has to step on the top seed!"
"It's not that he relies on off-board moves to get into the top four, it's that other people want to avoid him by off-board moves, right?"
"Come on, come on, fuck you! Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you!"
After sending it, Yan Xiaoling couldn't help but gasp, tired and refreshed.
Seeing these contents, the entire forum was silent, Kuroko didn't dare to come forward, and others seemed to have forgotten to reply.
After a while, "Phantom Fan" said weakly: "Scared me to death, I originally wanted to come out and scold those trolls, but when I saw Xiao Changye's post, I was scared back again...... Cub, I can't believe you're such a person......"
"I didn't expect you to be a foul-mouthed little ...... of the night" and the "Dragon King" also replied weakly.
Yan Xiaoling glanced at the content she had just posted, covered her face and replied, "Too, I'm so excited, I'll delete it, I can't leave a black history." โ
"No need, don't you have less black history?, and I took screenshots of them all, saved them, and passed them on to my children and grandchildren in the future!"
"That's it, don't delete it, I suddenly feel that Yan Xiaoling, who is foul-mouthed, seems to be more cute. "The Dragon King of the World" said with "the great joke of the world".
"Black to deep and naturally white, cub, I'm optimistic about you!" "Phantom Fan" encouraged with a shoulder pat.
The lip expert "Bull Demon King" also surfaced: "Moderator classmate, I want to give you a nickname." โ
"What's the nickname? don't listen to it!" Yan Xiaoling gave up on herself and almost burst into tears.
What a soft and cute child I used to be!
As soon as you enter the forum, it is as deep as the sea, and from then on you are a passerby!
"Bull Demon King" snickered: "In ancient times, the accomplished sages would be honored as 'Zi', you around, you are in mourning, I decided to call you Zi." โ
............
From the blurred thoughts, the breathing was affected, and the difficulty was relieved, Lou Cheng greeted Yan Zheke's parents and parents in the stands where they were, endured the throbbing pain in his head, and the sleepiness of his spirit, slowly walked to the sidelines, took back the mobile phone from the game supervisor, and entered the exclusive lounge step by step in the deafening cheers and cheers.
He didn't sleep directly to recover his spirit, because in this state, he couldn't hold Yuan Shouyi and settle down, that is, he couldn't enter a deep sleep, in that case, an hour and a half of rest would not restore any fatigue, but would feel more tired.
Therefore, you have to slow down, let the fatigue naturally dissipate a little, and then run the meditation work to sleep.
Sitting on the sofa, although his muscle state had been restored by Jin Dan, he couldn't lift his spirits at all, and he was unwilling to move a finger, let alone take a hot bath.
Of course, on the other hand, he had a strong will, picked up his mobile phone with difficulty, boarded QQ, sent a message to Yan Zheke, and said:
"I'm tired!"
Yan Zheke kept holding his mobile phone, wanting to send a message but didn't dare to send it, for fear of affecting Lou Cheng's recovery, he was startled when he saw the flashed content, and "knocked on the head" and said, "Why don't you sleep yet?"
By the time the second semi-final is over, it's only an hour and a half!
Lou Cheng described the situation that he is currently unable to sleep at the moment, and said with a wicked smile: "It's a pity, I have to prepare for the second one, otherwise I can go back to the hotel to share the joy of victory with you and enjoy your head massage......
"Your head hurts now?" Yan Zheke asked with concern.
"Well, my head throbs and my temples swell. Lou Cheng didn't hide his state.
Although it is said that a man should behave strong and not be defeated, at the right time, in front of the beloved girl, revealing his true appearance can evoke her maternal brilliance, make her feel that she is needed, feel that there is no disguise between the two parties, and that she is the most special one.
Yan Zheke looked around and found that the cameras were all aimed at the ring again, aimed at Han Zhifei and Liu Xunzhen, who were walking to the battlefield respectively, so he replied with no expression: "Or, I'll press your temples?" so that you can quickly relax and fall asleep." โ
She knew there was a therapist on call in the exclusive lounge, but she just couldn't resist the urge in her heart.
"Okay, I'll pick you up at the door!" Lou Cheng didn't think about the physiotherapist at all, and left the sofa with the perseverance to sit up in a dying illness.
"Hmm. Yan Zheke picked up his mobile phone, stood up, and walked along the aisle to the bathroom, intending to go around.
"Kekeke, where are you going?" Gu Shuang was still immersed in the mood of "Wocao, the man of the Keke family defeated Zhang Zhutong", but was awakened by the strange movement of his best friend.
Yan Zheke's eyes were like stars turning, and he was flushed:
"Lounge. โ
"Lounge, let's go together, uh, what lounge?" Gu Shuang thought about it and blinked.
Xing Jingjing pulled her and said in a low voice, "Don't ask." โ
"Oh~~" Gu Shuang dragged out her voice, understood, and showed an ambiguous smile, "Aren't you afraid of affecting his recovery? That's right, he's tired like that, what can he recover in an hour and a half, maybe the incentive of love will be more effective!"
Yan Zheke took a sip, didn't dare to pick up the stubble, and walked quickly to the edge of the aisle.
She cautiously avoided the possible camera position, and when the focus of the audience was on the ring, she flashed into the lounge with the door half-hidden, saw Lou Cheng waiting there, and saw the exhaustion that made her feel distressed.
"I don't know why, when I see you, I suddenly don't get tired. Lou Cheng's heart was filled with the power of warmth and joy, and he said with a smile.
"Bragging~" Yan Zheke glanced at him, "Go back to the room and rest." โ
Lou Cheng took her hand, ignored the gaze of passers-by like Fang Siqi, and walked straight back to the exclusive lounge. As soon as he entered, and closed the door, he hugged the girl tightly and kissed the fragrance on her body.
Then, the two kissed with tender passion and kissed lightly and deeply.
After a few minutes, Yan Zheke took the initiative to push Lou Cheng away, and glared at him with a charming look: "I'm tired like this, and I still want to do bad things!
After a few sentences, she asked with concern, "Have you eased up?"
"With the nourishment of love, of course, it has eased up, and it should be able to hold Yuan Shouyi. Lou Cheng snickered, "I'll take a shower first." โ
"No need, lie down, I'm going to have to play and sweat later. Yan Zheke pulled him to the wide sofa, let him lie down, sat next to him, rubbed his temples and said, "Sleep quickly, sleep quickly~"
"I'm afraid the smell of sweat will stink you. Lou Cheng put his phone aside and replied with a smile.
"Hmph, it's good to know, I'll sacrifice it. Yan Zheke specially learned some physiotherapy massage skills this time, and his hands were forced, and the severity was appropriate to relieve the swelling pain in Lou Cheng's head.
The smell of her boyfriend's sweat wafted into her nose, and she didn't dare to dislike it at all, and even liked it a little, feeling that it was very orange and manly.
While pressing, she listened to Lou Cheng's physical condition and found that he had fallen into a deep sleep within a minute.
With one hand free, Yan Zheke took her boyfriend's mobile phone, unlocked it with her own fingerprint preset, changed the mode to complete mute, and then took out her mobile phone and did something similar.
"Can't let the orange wake up......" The girl smiled shallowly, proud of her carefulness and caution, and the massage action on her hand did not stop.
As she pressed it, she saw an incoming call flashing on her phone, and the name on it was:
"Queen Mother"!
Yan Zheke was startled, chose to connect, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "Mom?"
Ji Mingyu chuckled: "Is it quiet around?"
"You, how do you know?" Yan Zheke's face was full of cuteness, and he only felt that the Queen Mother's mana was boundless, and he could guess this!
"Your dad and I were watching the game. Ji Mingyu replied leisurely, "I paid special attention to the door of the lounge and saw my daughter." โ
"Why are you here?" don't say a word...... Yan Zheke kept his voice low, "Dad, Dad didn't see it, did he?"
The Queen Mother is simply amazing!
"Rest assured, he's always been so sluggish. Ji Mingyu pursed her lips, and on the quiet and empty outer road of the venue, she smiled and said, "Keke, you are really like me, you have a very accurate eye for picking men, not bad." โ
When the two were dating, Lou Cheng was just an amateur martial artist who seemed to be more promising.
"Mom, why did you suddenly say this~" Yan Zheke was said to be very shy.
"Two words of emotion, Mom, I have never objected to your relationship with Lou Cheng, and I believe that you have enough vision, and after he has the ability to go down with you, he will not obstruct it, but there are too many things like marriage that need to be run-in, and there are too many conflicts in concepts and personalities, just like shoes, only I know if they are suitable or not, your father is a doctor, and I don't have a good life. Ji Mingyu felt something, "Mom just hopes that you will walk slower, and better see if each other can be entrusted with a lifetime and a partner who can grow old together, don't be in a hurry to burn enthusiasm." โ
"Mom, I understand. Yan Zheke took a breath and replied.
When she hung up, she reached out again and rubbed her boyfriend's temples.
Looking at Lou Cheng's face that was not handsome but he just liked it, smelling the smell of sweat emanating from his body, and thinking back to the scenes between the two, Yan Zheke thought quietly.
If there are no oranges around me in the future, how empty and uncomfortable my heart will be.
Just thinking about it makes it feel like you can't breathe.
............
Liu Xunzhen's ability did not have a breakthrough in essence, although it still caused Han Zhifei a lot of trouble, but after all, it couldn't let him cross the gap of rank, and after a few minutes of fighting, he was defeated,
Seeing that Han Zhifei was just breathing, not very tired, the audience who supported Lou Cheng suddenly calmed down, and felt uncomfortable inexplicably.
The next hour and a half was based on the introduction of the two finalists, and the highlights of the many days before the youth competition were strung together, and a review was carried out, mixed with singing and dancing performances.
Seeing Lou Cheng overcoming obstacles all the way and defeating one strong enemy after another, much more difficult than others' schedules, the audience became more and more silent and more emotional.
And Zhang Zhutong watched Han Zhifei return, performed acupuncture and pill double relaxation, and resisted the urge to invite him to do ultra-low temperature cold therapy.
From here to the Shenhuo Club, it is only a ten-minute drive, and the ultra-low temperature cold therapy itself can only be used for a short period of stimulation, which is more than enough time.
However, isn't this equivalent to joining forces with Han Zhifei to deal with Lou Cheng?
Zhang Zhutong's pride prevented him from speaking.
............
An hour and twenty minutes later, Yan Zheke played the role of an alarm clock and woke up Lou Cheng.
"How's it going?" she asked with concern, blinking.
Lou Cheng shook his neck and replied with a smile: "The spirit has recovered nearly half, and the physical strength is fine, but the muscles and muscles are affected by the strength of the furnace, and they are a little swelling and uncomfortable." โ
The furnace strength is different from the wind chill strength, it is more materially corrosive, and the power after gradual accumulation is not small, even if it is dispersed, it also makes Lou Cheng suffer a certain injury.
"Uh-huh, let's go change your clothes. Yan Zheke didn't say much.
Lou Cheng changed into a new martial arts uniform and shoes, washed his cold face, showed his energetic appearance again, and said with a slight smile: "Will you go out later?"
"Here it is. Yan Zheke pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes shining, "Wait for you to come back." โ
"Okay!" Lou Cheng chuckled, "Don't shout anymore, dear, come on?"
"Hooligan!" Yan Zheke took a sip, blushing on his face, and then snorted, "Turn around, turn around!"
"Good, good. Lou Cheng turned to the door and turned his back to her.
Yan Zheke took a step forward, wrapped his arms around his waist, buried his face in his shoulders and neck, and said weakly:
"Come on, dear. โ
No matter how it turns out, I'm proud of you.
............
Outside in the ring, the radio began to introduce the final matchups, and as is customary, the winner will come out first:
"The final of the 3rd Xing Province Youth Warrior Championship begins, let's welcome the first player, No. 18 Lou Cheng!"
"He beat the No. 9, No. 5, No. 6 and top seeds all the way to the final!"
The audience was still a little silent.
Lou Cheng walked out of the lounge and walked down the path that focused on the lights and walked up the stone steps.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a cry:
"Champion!"
The audience immediately boiled, and one voice after another echoed around:
"Champion!" "Champion!" "Champion!"
