stubborn miss

In the taekwondo hall, a group of children formed a circle, whispering to each other while watching the competition between the two people wearing protective gear in the middle of the circle.

"What game is it?"

After a child saw it from the door, he hurriedly joined the circle and asked the people around him.

"In the third round, they each won a round, so let's see this time." An onlooker child kept his eyes on the circle and replied like this.

"Wu Shaoyan did it this time, and finally won a game. It seems that there is hope for a comeback!"

"I don't think so. How many times have they competed? Lin Zhongli has never lost. Lin Zhongli has been learning from his coach since he was a child. Wu Shaoyan has only learned it for a few months. Besides, Wu Shaoyan forgets to kick when it is critical. Being robbed is not once or twice!"

"That's right, I think Lin Zhongli will definitely win this time."

While the children were talking, there was a sudden loud noise from the crowd, the competition was over, and as expected, Lin Zhongli was the winner.

Wu Shaoyan took off the protective gear out of breath, and with a look of refusal to admit defeat, he patted away the towel handed by Lin Zhongli, "Continue tomorrow, I must beat you."

Lin Zhongli was noncommittal, shrugged, took back the towel and wiped his sweat, then smiled at Wu Shaoyan, "Xiaoyan, if you want to win me, you can't do it like this! You are too weak." He ran to Wu Shaoyan, Said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It doesn't feel good to be bullied."

Wu Shaoyan covered his ears, pushed Lin Zhongli aside, and walked out of the crowd.

Oh, it's fun.He had never seen such a fun person.

"Hey, can you not do that?" After class, the other children had already gone home, and only Lin Zhongli, the curator's son, and Wu Shaoyan, who had been training hard, were left.

"Kick here. Are you trying to disfigure me?" Lin Zhongli held the target, tapped it with his hand, and said casually, "How am I?"

"Don't tease me in front of everyone." Wu Shaoyan kicked the toe target again, "Is it fun to tease me?"

Lin Zhongli smiled, "It's fun, it's so fun." It's been a long time since I came across such a fun toy.He obviously has a flirtatious expression, but behaves like a little sheep. He is often hesitant to do things, and he has to think for a long time about his moves.However, it was such a person who even magnified that he wanted to beat him, and ran over to him to compete with him the day after he personally instructed him.Are you overconfident or overconfident?Lin Zhongli felt that Wu Shaoyan was full of contradictions, and it would be a good game if he could uncover Wu Shaoyan's true face layer by layer.

Lin Zhongli retracted the target, but Wu Shaoyan quickly retracted it just after kicking it out, almost unable to stand still, "What are you doing?"

"Tricking you." Lin Zhongli raised the target again, and hooked his fingers at Wu Shaoyan, as if provocative.

Wu Shaoyan kicked Lin Zhongli in the face with a backspin, but Lin Zhongli dodged it deftly.

"Don't be too complacent, I will win you soon, you see, I won you once today."

"Yes, I won once every few thousand times. Xiaoyan, you must never help others catch prizes. You are weak even if you count luck."

"Anyway, I will definitely beat you." Here it is again, for a person who has just started practicing, where does Wu Shaoyan get his confidence?

Ah yes, one more thing.

Lin Zhongli was a little aggrieved, "I remember, you never seem to call me by my name, it's either "Hi" or "Hey". Anyway, I can be regarded as half of your master. Address? It’s fine if you don’t want to be a teacher, even if you don’t call me master, at least it shouldn’t be ‘Hi’ or ‘Hey’, right?”

"Hey, your image has collapsed..." Wu Shaoyan kept on resting his legs, sharply pointing out the change in his expression.He always smiles to show others, after all, he has to maintain his good popularity.

Lin Zhongli threw the target on the ground, "Come on, let's have another round, this time no one is shouting, if I win you have to call me 'Master' how about it?" Now that it has collapsed, how about maintaining a woolen Ah, anyway, it's only in front of Wu Shaoyan, this kid doesn't seem to be the type who talks everywhere.

Wu Shaoyan withdrew his legs, and suddenly bowed to him respectfully, "Master."

The happiness came so suddenly, he couldn't believe it, he was stunned for a while, is this person a hardliner or a softie, why, he doesn't play according to the routine?

"Hey, I've yelled everything I need to yell, let's continue!"

"Why did you change back so quickly? Just one sound?" Lin Zhongli felt that Wu Shaoyan's brain circuit was a little strange.

"Yes." Wu Shaoyan nodded. "Do you still want to lift it? If you don't lift it, I will practice by myself." Wu Shaoyan said and was about to leave.

Lin Zhongli pulled him back, "I think what you need is actual combat. It's okay when you're not fighting with others, but you're always slow when it comes to using it."

Coincidentally, his legs were also very itchy, and he really wanted to kick something, for example, this very stinky kid in front of him.Happens to be a very suitable target.

"Xiao Li? You're back!" His mother was busy in the kitchen. As soon as he entered the door, he only heard his mother's voice coming from the noise of the range hood in the kitchen.Ever since she got hooked on a cooking show, she's been trying to come up with something new every day.The taste of those things... is really hard to describe.However, his mother was not a person who knew how to cook. Neither he nor his father had high demands, and they had no expectations of his mother's cooking skills.After all, she has a lot of things to do every day.My father is not a good and considerate man, and my mother is basically covering everything at home, and I have to deal with work. I don't know where she has the energy to study cooking.

At dinner, he silently picked up the rice in his bowl.Mother put a rib in his bowl.

"Eat, eat, look, I stewed for a long time this time." She took another piece for her father who was reading the newspaper. The father nodded and closed the newspaper, "You eat too."

Really good acting.

He doesn't know how other people's families are, but his parents are definitely a model of incongruity.They thought that as long as they acted in front of him, they could hide the truth from him, so that he could continue to live in the lie of his parents' harmony and family happiness.However, there are too many gossips in this world, and there will always be some wicked or heartless people who will ignore him and gossip about other people's affairs.

Impartiality just floated into his ears.

However, even if he knew, what could Lin Zhongli do?Since they want to act, he has no choice but to act with them. It's not difficult to play a well-behaved and obedient son.He's the best at acting.

After dinner, he went back to his room on the grounds that he had to do his homework. After a while, he heard the sound of closing the door——Father would always find someone to play cards after dinner, sometimes even until midnight.At this time, my mother would take out the TV series borrowed from the video store and play them one by one until she fell asleep on the sofa.

He thought of Wu Shaoyan, Wu Shaoyan's home, what would it be like?Could it be that you have very loving parents?

After finishing his homework, he went to wash up and passed the living room. The cooking show that his mother had recently become obsessed with was on the TV, and he would burst into laughter from time to time.However, in their family, no one responded.The mother was covered with a blanket, and she was already lying on her side on the sofa with her knees bent, her hands under her head, and she was sleeping soundly.He turned off the TV and woke up his mother, "Mom, go back to bed."

It was past ten o'clock. If they waited on the sofa until their father came back, they might have another fight.Yes, they still quarreled, only when they thought he was asleep, in a very subdued low voice, like the dullness and hypocrisy at the dinner table that would be exposed from time to time even if it was disguised.Every day after they quarreled, even the air would be filled with a feeling of depression.

Sometimes, he really wants to run out and tell them, "If you can't make it through, leave", he really doesn't care about it.

After all, a lie that has been exposed does not have the value of deceiving people.

"Are you going to compete in a few days?" Mother stretched herself after waking up and asked leisurely.

"Yes." Lin Zhongli folded the blanket and put it back on the sofa.

"Mom wants to go and have a look, but it seems like she hasn't been there for a long time."

"It's okay, I know you're busy, so it's okay if you don't go." When the parents showed up together, there were more and more gossip about them.

Wu Shaoyan looked weird today.First of all, it was very rare that he didn't pester him to discuss something as usual, and he was distracted at every turn. After a while, he was told three times by the coach, but he still seemed to be too fuzzy.Furthermore, this person's walking posture has been weird since he just started walking, and he can't tell what's wrong.

"What's wrong with you?" He patted Wu Shaoyan on the shoulder, and after a while, Wu Shaoyan turned his head to look at him.Seeing that it was Lin Zhongli, Wu Shaoyan avoided his questioning gaze, "It's all right."

Nothing to blame.

"Do you want to compare with me? Now is just the time." He tried Wu Shaoyan.

"No, let's do it another day." After Wu Shaoyan finished speaking, he turned his head and left, and he hurriedly grabbed his arm.

"Hiss—" Wu Shaoyan shook off his hand.Could it be... He dragged Wu Shaoyan to the dressing room and rolled up his sleeves.Although it is summer, the gym has air conditioning, so they all wear taekwondo uniforms.Under the sleeves, Wu Shaoyan's arms were bruised and purple, and the bruises one after another were shocking.

Wu Shaoyan withdrew his arm, put down his sleeves again, and gave him a sharp look, "If you dare to tell anyone, you will die."

Why should he tell others?Wu Shaoyan also looked down on him too much.Long tongue is the one thing he detests the most.If possible, he would rather not know the truth about his parents, but those guys brought the truth to his door, stabbed him hard, and he had to laugh at the bleeding wound, that's not a big deal easy thing.

"Unless you tell me what's going on." Lin Zhongli said behind Wu Shaoyan who was about to leave the locker room, "Otherwise, I'll tell everyone now."

"Stop talking!" Wu Shaoyan's father waved his hand outside the Taekwondo gym, and greeted Wu Shaoyan who came out after changing his clothes.

Wu Shaoyan's father looked gentle and elegant, not at all like his rigid and silent father, but he didn't expect that such a person would have the habit of beating his wife and children at home.

This should not be the first time Wu Shaoyan was beaten. He remembered several times, seeing the man with a gentle smile at the entrance of the Taekwondo gym.It's not because of guilt that he came to pick up Wu Shaoyan.

At the end of the summer vacation, the Taekwondo Hall will always hold a friendly match, which can be regarded as a test of their learning results.The competition is decided by lottery, and the No.1 can be exempted from tuition fees and take classes in the Taekwondo Hall for one year.It can also be regarded as a promotional method that my father came up with.

However, No.1 is often him, and this great gift has never been given out.

This year, things have changed a little.

Wu Shaoyan threw down the protective gear, ignored the cheers of the people around him, followed behind him as he left the field, and asked him, "Hey, did you lose to me on purpose?"

"It's 'Hi' again, I said, I have a name, Lin Zhongli, come and read after me, Lin, Zhong, Li."

"Don't change the subject. You know what I'm asking."

When he was on stage, he suddenly hesitated.Wu Shaoyan told him the truth that day, learning Taekwondo was Wu Shaoyan's own request, Wu Shaoyan's father thought he could be more manly and agreed.However, he had a premonition that Wu Shaoyan would not continue to study, because these would not help him.As a child, no matter how skilled he is, his strength is no match for a grown man.

He sometimes saw Wu Shaoyan holding a notebook, sitting aside to see what they drew on the notebook, and he often got compliments from others. The light in Wu Shaoyan's eyes when he looked at the notebook was something he had never seen before.

During the competition, on the one hand, he was surprised that his opponent was Wu Shaoyan. On the other hand, he didn't want Wu Shaoyan to go. He always felt that without such a person, he would feel uncomfortable.

"How about changing it to "Ali"? Simple and easy to remember, just one more word than 'hello'? It's not troublesome."

Wu Shaoyan looked at him, and reluctantly called out, "Ali."

Hmm, that sounds much better.

"Did you do it on purpose just now?"

"No way, you've made rapid progress, and I'm very pleased for the teacher." He pretended to stroke the non-existent white beard under his chin.

"Zhongli, Shaoyan, look here." Wu Shaoyan's father squatted on the ground holding the camera, motioning for the two of them to look at the camera.He reacted immediately, turned around and faced the camera with what he thought was the perfect smile.It's just that Wu Shaoyan didn't make too many movements, he just turned his face that was originally facing him and looked at the camera.

"Uncle, can I have one more photo of this photo?" Lin Zhongli begged Wu Shaoyan's father with an impeccable smile.

"Of course, I'll let Shaoyan hand it over to you after it's washed out."

It's just that he didn't expect that in the future, he would look at that photo again and again, copy and copy it again and again, wishing he could hold Ma Liang's pen and create another Wu Shaoyan.
