Star of tomorrow

I didn't see Ji Xing all morning, and Qi Chen didn't have the time to train, but he searched the entire Golden Triangle and couldn't find anyone, and Aunt Liu also said that he had never seen Ji Xing.

Qi Chen frowned and called Ji Xing, but was hung up several times. He sat down in front of Aunt Liu's booth frustrated and annoyed, and ruthlessly plucked his hair.

He was really crazy yesterday, Qi Chen couldn't figure it out: he didn't drink alcohol, but last night he seemed drunk and kept doing things out of control.

This proves that the night really magnifies the dark side and some hidden emotions in people's hearts.

Qi Chen actually woke up early in the morning, but thinking of the 1.9-meter-high man last night, it was so rare that he was scared.Especially when he thought about Ji Xing's sentence "I don't believe you can punch fake punches", he was even more ashamed and couldn't lift his head up.

So he had to pretend to be dead in the bedroom, listening to Ji Xing's noises outside, and waited for the people to leave before coming out to wash, looking at Ji Xing's bedroom, frowning and sighing.

After this night, the ambiguous feelings that were still separated by a veil suddenly became clear. Qi Chen has lived for more than twenty years, so he naturally understands what this means.

He fell in love with Ji Xing, and he couldn't tell when it happened, but the root of love had already taken root, but he ignored it intentionally or unintentionally.

Perhaps it was because he felt that the two were not worthy, mainly because he felt that he was not worthy of Ji Xing, or maybe he felt that Ji Xing was young and the novelty would pass, so he never faced up to this hazy relationship.

Thinking about it now, from the first time he saw the big boy appearing in the Golden Triangle, he had already developed a good impression in his heart-the other guy was incompatible with the Golden Triangle, and he happened to be the type he liked, and it was normal to meet eyes.

After that, Ji Xing's bluffing freshness, aggrieved but stubborn appearance, has already attracted him. They are completely different from the inside out, and everything they have experienced has nothing to do with it. It can be said that the first half of life is completely two people in the world.But maybe it was because it had nothing to do with the other party's naive and pure optimism that firmly attracted his attention, making him involuntarily take in the other party and pamper him again and again.

Aunt Liu observed Qi Chen's gloomy expression, and said hesitantly, "Arguing again? Xiao Ji ran away again?"

Qi Chen actually had a funny sense of powerlessness towards the word "again".

Seeing that Qi Chen was silent, Aunt Liu murmured: "Oh, he is younger than you, what's wrong with you letting him go? Xiao Ji has a big temper, but he is really kind and gentle. Don't you Always pissed him off."

Qi Chen glanced at Aunt Liu: "You are looking at him, why don't you think about it, maybe he made me angry?"

"Just tell him clearly." Aunt Liu said, "It's inevitable for young people to make mistakes. Look at him like that. He doesn't have much social experience. You have to let him go."

After all, no matter who is wrong, he has to give in to Ji Xing.

Aunt Liu seemed to see what he was thinking, and said hi: "It's good that you know some things in your heart, what are you fussing about with him? Aren't you just as frizzy when you first came here? That's how people come here. "

Qi Chen raised his hand in a gesture of surrender: "If he comes looking for you, please let me know."

Aunt Liu nodded: "Don't worry, I will help you coax him."

Qi Chen stood up on his knees, and sighed heavily again—he sighed so many times today that he couldn't stand it.

In the evening, he still has a game. Looking at the time, he will have to go to training after a while.

As if God was going to give him another chance, as soon as he walked out of the intersection, he saw Ji Xing and Xiao Zuo coming back with woven bags.

There were a lot more cans in the woven pocket, and it was almost full, and they were dragged along the way, and the two chatted while walking-mainly because of Ji Xing's one-sided awkward chat.

Qi Chen stopped walking, a little hesitant to go forward.

He couldn't see Ji Xing nervous, but when he saw Ji Xing, he remembered what happened last night again. The image of the two kissing repeatedly echoed in his mind, and he heard Ji Xing doing DIY in the middle of the night, and the impact irritated his scalp Numb, the tailbone seemed to have an electric current, and his eyes were unconsciously staring at Ji Xing's face, lips, and collarbone, and the secret excitement began to move around again.

Qi Chen felt as though there was something wrong with him—about the same reason he had been banned for the past two years.

The desire to restrain is too fierce, so once it gets out of control, it can't be controlled, like a young man in love for the first time, the wave of lust is rushing in his chest, and he can't stop it at all.

Xiao Zuo was the first to see Qi Chen, his eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he yelled out, "Ah!"

Although it was only a single tone, it still startled Ji Xing next to him: "I'll go, are you finally willing to speak?"

Little Zuo didn't even look at him, and hurriedly ran towards Qi Chen: He's going to be noisy to death this day!

Ji Xing saw Qi Chen just now, and was a little embarrassed. Xiao Zuo didn't care about this, and even took the initiative to drag him to Qi Chen's direction.

Qi Chen glanced at Xiao Zuo, then at the woven pocket, and said to Ji Xing, "Looked for a new job?"

Ji Xing didn't know why his brain was twitching, and when he came back to his senses, he had helped Xiao Zuo pick up canned food in the garbage dump all morning, and now his body was smelly.

He said speechlessly: "Without salary, this is called participating in public welfare and environmental protection activities on your own, my young master has a high level of ideological consciousness."

Qi Chen didn't know how to talk to Ji Xing naturally, but he was relieved to be interrupted like this, and his expression was no longer stiff. He helped him lift his pocket and said, "Where are you going? Send you off."

Ji Xing turned his head to look at Xiao Zuo, who knew that Xiao Zuo was very sensible—or maybe he was so annoyed that he snatched his pocket and ran away without saying a word.

When Ji Xing reacted, the other party had already run across the intersection and disappeared into the crowd with the escape speed he had practiced with robbery, and the sound of clinking cans could still be heard in the distance.

Ji Xing: "..."

Qi Chen raised his eyebrows: "What happened to you?"

Ji Xing couldn't believe it, and felt that the "friendship" established all morning was instantly shattered.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qi Chen asked him again: "Have you had lunch? I invite you."

Ji Xing glanced at him, not intending to make things difficult for his stomach, and nodded.

The two ordered a bowl of noodles at the noodle shop, and ate quietly. Qi Chen ate quickly, and waited for him as usual after finishing eating, without urging him.

After Ji Xing finished eating, he said, "I'm sorry."

Ji Xing glanced at him: "You said it yesterday. I also did something wrong. Let's get even."

Qi Chen admired Ji Xing for a moment, as expected of Ji Xing's "natural optimism" who can expose everything, but it may also be that the other party really doesn't care.But a kiss might not be worth Ji Xing's attention at all.

Qi Chen couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, and said after a while: "Before I came here, I never made a false punch."

Ji Xing was taken aback, he didn't expect that the other party would choose to tell the truth at this time.

Qi Chen thought for a while, and then slowly said: "I formally practiced boxing at the age of 15, joined the club at the age of 16, and won the prize for the first time at the age of 19. At that time, I was very favored by the club, and my coach, Coach Wang, also taught me a lot. , I respect him very much, and my relationship with him... is more like a father and son. Those people you met that day were colleagues of Coach Wang and coaches in my former club."

Ji Xing forgot the embarrassment for a moment, and listened seriously.

It was the first time for Qi Chen to talk about the past with anyone, and it felt quite strange. The reason why he didn't choose to stay at home was because it was too quiet for him to speak, and he always felt awkward; There was an endless stream of people, the smell of food and the sound of shouting "hidden" them, and some words were easier to say.

"My goal is UFC, which is a very professional world-class professional competition," Qi Chen said, "Coach Wang is very optimistic about me, he thinks I can, maybe I can get the UFC gold belt in my career . But it all fell apart when I was 24."

Ji Xing became nervous. It was in that year that Qi Chen was complained about punching fake punches. Later, the so-called evidence was even discovered, and his career withered.

"After a regular game, the person who lost to me reported me to the organizing committee." Qi Chen has been reluctant to mention this matter. Every time he mentions it, it seems to be experiencing a nightmare repeatedly. I didn’t take it seriously, I didn’t do it, I wasn’t afraid to investigate, and I even thought it was a little ridiculous at the time.”

But the matter did not subside quickly. This was actually a well-planned premeditation.

Qi Chen is the star of the Black Lion

The player is not fake, and there are a large number of fans in the circle. The influence is not big, but it is not small. This time, Qi Chen has played all the way with zero losses in the regular season. He is about to enter the title competition. Those who are optimistic about him Quite a few, even Qi Chen felt that he was in excellent condition and was ready to win the gold belt in this year's domestic competition.

And at this critical moment, it was very strange that the reported incident was hyped up on the Internet within two days, and even went viral.

There are many young and outstanding players in the circle, and the strong players of the older generation are still capable of fighting. No matter how gimmicks there are, they will not make such a fuss, not to mention that in Qi Chen's view, this matter is completely non-existent.But the development of the matter was so inexplicable. Obviously, there was a hand—or several hands behind the scenes, fueling the flames, making the matter out of control, and even people who didn't know how to do it got involved.

When this happened, although the organizers would have thoroughly investigated it, their attitude became much more serious and the pressure became greater. At the same time, it also affected this year's competition. Other players were also implicated one after another. Naturally, Qi Chen I lost my good face.

The follow-up match was forced to be postponed, and Qi Chen was even suspended from the match. Coach Wang keenly realized that something was wrong, and began to secretly investigate what was going on. But before they could find out why, the Black Lion Club closed A report letter arrived, which not only detailed Qi Chen's fake punches, but also listed the bank statement details.

There are more than one or two credit cards and bank cards under Qi Chen's name, and he doesn't use this bank card very often. The name and address are in a remote town in a certain place.

Ji Xing was puzzled: "What does this have to do with your accepting bribes?"

Qi Chen was silent for a moment, tapped his fingers on his knees, and said, "I will regularly transfer the money to an elder in the town. It was nothing, but I don't know who fanned the flames, saying that my family owed a huge amount of gambling debts. Repaying the money by punching, plus a huge sum of money of unknown origin in the account, the connection between the two proves that I...take bribes."

Ji Xing never expected that the so-called "evidence of bribery" that Su Changyu investigated before came from this way, and he was stunned for a moment: "Wait! There are too many loopholes, right? Just go to your house to check it out and it will be very clear, right? "

Ji Xing was stunned: "Is it true that your family just owes money?"

"No." Qi Chen shook his head, "But it is an indisputable fact that a huge amount of money came into the account, and I can't tell where the money came from, and I can't explain it. Don't believe what I say."

"So forget it?" Ji Xing suddenly became angry, "You have been wronged, so forget it?"

"This is not an easy matter. Leaving aside whether I was wronged or not, I have brought a negative impact on the Black Lion Club, and even affected other members of the club. According to the contract, I have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages Jin, I can't afford this money." Qi Chen said seriously, "Even my games will be fined and suspended, and the sponsors who invest in me will also claim compensation from me, do you know how much these sums add up to? "

"I have no personal connections. The coach wanted to hire a lawyer for me through the club, but none of the lawyers he knew took up the job. We suspected that someone had confessed secretly, but there was no evidence. The other party's goal was clear. A small role like me, I can’t struggle and I can’t bear it. Whether I was wronged or not, whether I did something or not, it doesn’t matter at this time, the amount of compensation alone is enough to overwhelm me.”

Even if a lawyer is hired in the future, Qi Chen can't predict what the other party will do. Before the truth is judged, he will spend a lot of energy and time tossing back and forth between the court and the club. [-]. The compensation requested by the sponsor is two different things, so he has to bear two, three or even more lawsuits. During this period, he was suspended, had no income, and couldn't make ends meet. How could he afford it?

Ji Xing was at a loss for words for a while, he was used to looking at things from the perspective of the Ji family, many things can be done well with money, for him, the life model is a simple version, so he didn't expect the matter to be placed on Qi Chen at all, It was so easy to force him to leave that circle.It's easier than crushing an ant.

The last straw that breaks the camel's camel is often so cruel and unbelievably simple.
