Embrace the light

Today is Heng's rest day, and Tut sent him a message a few days ago to make an appointment for a party.

It is said to be a big gathering of friends, and everyone took advantage of this weekend to relax and have fun.There are men and women in the gathering, and relatives, friends and family members are encouraged to bring along.

Heng asked Ian if he wanted to go there together, and Yian readily agreed.

In November, when the weather turns cold, people wear long-sleeved trousers one after another.

Ian and Heng are no exception.Today, Ian wore a sky blue sweater with a hood, a pair of blue-gray denim trousers, and white casual shoes.Heng was wearing a beige gray hooded sweater, a pair of black casual trousers, and the same style of shoes as Ian's.

"Prepare food for Xiao Hehuan."

Ian cleaned and dried Hehuan's two cat food dishes, put enough cat food and drinking water on them, and placed them on the side of the living room.

"Little Acacia, we're going out to play today, and we won't be back until evening. Be good at home, can I reward you with a pack of cat biscuits when you come back?" Ian hugged Acacia, stroking its supple back, and said, "Lunch Don't wait for us, you know? We won't come back at noon, so just eat on time yourself.

"Meow~" Hehuan replied after listening.

"So good, baby." Ian bowed his head and kissed the top of Hehuan's head.

During this time, Acacia grew up a bit, and the milk fat gradually disappeared, becoming thinner and smoother to the touch.Its temperament has become more lively and playful, but it is still cute and cute.

Likes to jump up and down, but has never knocked or broken anything.

When Ian was working, he would still sleep on Ian's lap obediently, quietly accompany Ian, and would not jump on the computer desk to disturb his work.

According to Tut's arrangement, today is going to the entertainment venue, and everyone can choose entertainment items according to their own preferences.At noon, they will have dinner together at a nearby restaurant, and after lunch break, they will continue to return to the entertainment venue.If there is nothing to do in the evening, everyone can have dinner together, and then go to sing K or play in the bar after dinner.

The two were the first to arrive at the agreed place, and the venue had already opened, so Yi An and Heng entered the hall and sat waiting.

Heng Guangxing looked back and forth in the venue, but didn't find anything interesting, so he took out his mobile phone and started playing "Flowers and Grass Xiaoxiaole".

Ian sat and observed the surroundings for a while, and felt bored, so he moved closer to Heng and watched Heng play games.

"Here." Seeing that Heng wanted to move one of the squares, Ian suggested aloud, "Moving here can eliminate three columns in a row."

Heng moved his finger away and moved the phone towards Ian.Ian reached out and moved the target block.

The two passed several levels in a row, and suddenly heard a passionate call.

"Hello, Heng, Ian." It was Christine who was still wearing super short but cute makeup.

Although she was wearing a light yellow jacket, Christine's jacket was not zipped up, revealing a short thin sweater lining, the sweater only reaching below the chest, revealing a section of snow-white belly.The lower body is still in a miniskirt, revealing her fair and slender legs.

Ian accidentally saw a topic on the Internet about "Are girls not afraid of the cold?" Some girls answered that they looked like they had bare legs but were actually wearing flesh-colored leggings.

But the belly should be really exposed to the cold air, right?Is there a flesh-colored bottoming top?

"Hello, Christine." After greeting Ian, he observed for a few seconds and came to the conclusion: Christine should indeed be wearing the legendary bare-leg artifact.

Seeing Ian pay more attention to his legs, Christine laughed and teased, "Why, do you envy my long legs?"

Ian smiled back, "It's colder now, seeing your bare legs, I wonder if you're not afraid of the cold, or you're wearing a bare-legged artifact."

"Yeah, not bad." Christine patted Ian's shoulder, "Even knows about bare-legged artifacts, that's fine."

Ian said: "I saw it on the Internet by chance. Why didn't you come with Tut today?"

Christine replied: "Have you misunderstood something? He and I are not lovers but brothers. And our two families are not close, so there is no need to make an appointment to travel together."

"Hey, friends, it's early." It was Tut who arrived and walked towards the three of them.

"Our quality is still the best." Christine looked at his watch, and there were still 10 minutes before the agreed meeting time.Looking outside the door, there was no other familiar figure, shaking his head and sighing, "It seems that each of these slackers wants to step on the spot."

As Christine expected, the next twelve people really came here.

Two of the visitors were Heng's acquaintances, Alan and Li Fei who played together when Tute made a ball appointment before, and the other ten people were all strangers.

Among the twelve people, there are two couples, the men are Tut's friends, the remaining three girls are Christine's friends, and the five boys are Tut's friends.

After the introduction of Tut and Christine, everyone saluted with tentacles.

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you again after graduation." A girl with full bangs and ponytails stood in front of Ian and stretched out her hand towards him.

Ian reached out and touched her finger lightly, "Well, this is the first time I met a classmate after graduation."

"Oh, let me go, do you know each other?" Tut was surprised, and then pointed to the two boys beside him and asked Ian, "Alva and Yiyun are in the same class as Aria, so the four of you should be in the same class as Aria. know each other?"

The blond boy with curly hair is Alva. He said, "Yes, of course I know him. However, Ian has changed so much that I didn't recognize him without mentioning his name."

Another boy with neat short hair approached Ian and stretched out his right hand, "Long time no see, Ann."

Yi An also reached out his hand, "Long time no see, Fang Yiyun."

"It's such a small world. I didn't expect my two friends to know each other." Tut sighed.

"It's time, let's go register and enter the museum. If you want to reminisce about the past, save it for later." Christine urged.

After scanning the QR code and registering to enter the venue, everyone first glanced at the introduction map of the venue distribution.

"I want to play target shooting, does anyone want to join me?" Christine raised her hand.

One of Kristen's three friends chose to be with her, while the other two chose bowling.

Heng browsed through the introduction of the venue layout, and then selected the same shooting gallery as Christine.

"I'm with Heng." Although Ian doesn't know how to shoot or archery, he can take this opportunity to let Heng teach him for a while.

"Then I'll go too." Fang Yiyun said.

Seeing this, Aria also raised her hand, "Yun goes there, then I will go too."

In the end, Ian, Heng, Christine, Tut, Alan, Fang Yiyun, Aria, and Alva went to the shooting hall. Li Fei and Christine's three sisters went to the bowling alley. The couple and the remaining three boys went to the pool hall.

"It's not interesting to shoot alone. Let's compete in groups. The loser should treat the big guys to drink milk tea." Christine suggested.

No one objected, so they started grouping.

"Sorry, I don't know how to play this, I'll just watch your game from the sidelines." Ian said quickly.

"Then I'll stay with my old classmates. The six of you are divided into three groups to play." Alva warmly said.

In the end, Heng and Tut were in a group, Christine and Aria were in a group, and Alan and Fang Yiyun were in a group.

There is a test between two people in each group, and the test adopts a quantitative scoring system.The competition is divided into two categories, one is archery and the other is marksmanship, both of which are divided into fixed targets and moving targets, and the person with the most accumulated points wins.

Ladies first, the first group started with Kristen and Aria.

Although Aria is not from the military academy, the Jones family and the Fang family, a military family, are family friends, and naturally they have been influenced by it since childhood.

In fixed target archery, Aria lost to Christine by five points.

But in the moving target competition, Aria's level was much lower, and there was a thirteen point difference between her and Christine.

However, generally speaking, both of them performed very well, and everyone applauded and applauded.

Christine stretched out his fist and bumped Aria, "Not bad, miss."

Aria smiled, "You are still better at it."

Walking back to the crowd waiting for the competition, Aria took Fang Yiyun's hand, cuddled up and acted coquettishly, "How did I do? Didn't my technique fail?"

Fang Yiyun smiled and said, "Very good, it shows that I have kept practicing."

"Of course, you taught me since childhood."

The next competition is four boys, and Tut and Heng are in the last group.

At first, Ian and Alva, who were watching the game in the rest area, were focused on the dynamics on the court, and they didn't have the enthusiastic reminiscences they had imagined.When he was still in college, Ian and Alva didn't get along very often, and even Ian could feel the hostility from Alva, but he didn't know where the hostility came from.

However, Alva didn't do anything to him in the four years of college, except for a few words of cynicism when he met him occasionally.

Alva spoke to Ian after Aria and Christine finished their archery competition.

"You really have changed a lot, but it seems that nothing has changed."

Ian looked at Alva puzzled.

Alva went on to say: "It's changed a lot, it's about your appearance. In college, you always wore cheap clothes and shoes, and you didn't throw away the color after washing them. Now you seem to be in good shape. It seems that it has not changed, referring to your temperament, and you are still used to pretending to be annoying."

Yian knew that after a few years, this person still couldn't say anything good.But he wasn't angry either, he glanced at Alva's mocking expression, didn't answer, turned his gaze back to the competition crowd, and automatically ignored the boy who uttered bad words.

"What? Don't you think you're annoying?" Alva sneered when he saw Ian's calm and calm appearance, "It's obviously obscene and wretched, but he pretends to be pure and innocent. Every time I see him I feel hot and disgusted by your face."

Ian really didn't understand where Alva's dislike for him came from. He thought about it carefully. In college, he was busy studying, writing, and working part-time. Except for the three roommates, there was a close relationship between him and other classmates. There is no intersection, and there is very little intersection with Alva.

"I don't understand what you mean. We rarely met in the four years of college, and we didn't talk a few times. I never did anything harmful. You said I was pretending to be annoying, but where did you see my real side? I never rushed to pester you, so why would I want to offend you? If you just don't like me, there is no need to wrong yourself to come to the rest area to stay with me. "

The second match ended, and it was Heng's turn to play.

Ian immediately threw Alva out of the blue sky, and all his mind returned to Heng, watching Heng draw the bow and release arrows in front of him, and there was nothing else in his eyes except Heng.

Whether or not Alva said anything else was not within his focus.

Heng's fixed target game was three points higher than Tutt's, but the moving target scored less than Tutt's, conceding five points.Overall, Tutt was the group winner.

Seeing that they finished the competition, Yi An got up and walked to Heng.

"Heng, it's amazing." Ian praised with his eyebrows curved.

Heng also smiled back at him and asked him, "Do you want to try?"

Yi Anxin had this intention, but he didn't want to delay everyone's continuation of the game at this time, so he said: "After the game is over, you can teach me for a while."

"Let me teach you, Ian, my total score is the highest among them." Christine was in high spirits and full of enthusiasm.

Ian thanked, "Thank you. However, I am stupid and slow to learn. Let Heng teach me, and you can play other games with your friends."

Next came the marksmanship area, still the Christine group went first, the Fang Yiyun group followed, and the Henghe Tute group last.

This time the bullets were all real. Except for the contestants who were present in the competition area, everyone else had to retreat behind the protective wall.The protective wall is transparent, standing behind it can clearly see the scene inside.

Ian knows how to shoot. This is something that all citizens of the Imperial Capital must learn after they reach adulthood.But the accuracy of marksmanship, this can only depend on personal talent and acquired special training.

Ian knew that he was no match for these enthusiasts and experts, so he still did not participate.

This time Alva did participate, playing in a solo group, but the score was not higher than the winners of the other three groups.

Adding up the scores of the two competitions, Christine is the highest and Alva is the lowest. After all, he only has one score.

"That's not fair," Kristen said.

Tut waved his hand, "He's willing, anyway, he's not short of money, so he invited it."

Alva also said: "I am more than happy to pay for all the handsome guys and beauties."

The eight people here left the shooting range and walked to the board game hall together.I happened to meet eight other people on the road, and they all liked playing board games, so they hit it off right away, and the big team gathered together and walked towards the destination together.

There are many types of games in the board game hall. Most people choose card games and play in groups of three or five.

Heng looked at the table of table games and asked Ian, "Which one do you want to play?"

"I want to play military chess."

So, Heng took down two sets of military chess pieces from the corresponding shelves, and took down another chessboard.

Ian asked him: "Heng, do you play this together?"

Before Heng could answer, Alva suddenly came up and said, "Let me play two sets with you."

Ian didn't want to play chess with him, Heng was by his side, and he didn't want Heng to listen to Alva's weird words.

"Then I'll watch the battle, brother, you just teach me." Unexpectedly, Aria came over suddenly.

In this way, it would be difficult for Ian to refuse to export.

But Christine suddenly realized, "So you two are brother and sister."

Tut said: "Yes, I didn't realize that they look alike."

Christine shook her head, "Then I really haven't seen it yet."

Tut drew Aria and Alvara closer and stood side by side for everyone to take a closer look, "They are twins."

One of Christine's sisters said: "It's still similar when you look closely. The nose and mouth are super similar, and the skin color is also the same, but the eyes and face shape are slightly different."

"Yes, one of us is with Dad and the other is with Mom," Aria explained.

Although reluctant, Ian finally did not refuse in person.After setting up the chessboard, the two sat facing each other.

Heng sat beside Ian, and Aria sat beside Alva.The rest of the partners formed a group to play their favorite board games.

"How to play?" Alva asked.

"It's normal."

So the two poured the red and blue chess pieces together, mixed them well, and then placed them on the chessboard.

"Please first."

Ian was not polite, and took the lead in lifting a flag on Alwan's side, which was the red "company commander".

"Then you are the blue pawn." Alva said.

As the chess pieces were turned over one by one, Ian was able to occupy more "camps", and all of them were of higher ranks such as "Brigade Commander" and "Teacher Commander".

However, Alva was not in a hurry, the chess pieces that were captured were neither too many nor too big, and the situation was okay.

"This is really embarrassing."

When Ian was about to use the "platoon leader" to destroy Alva's "bomb", Alva lifted a card near the "bomb", but it was Ian's "commander". The "commander" is between an unopened chess piece and the "bomb" and has no way to retreat, while the "platoon leader" is still two steps away from the "bomb".

Commander is the highest-level chess piece in military chess, and can eat other chess pieces of any level, but the natural enemy is "bomb".

Ian quickly scanned the situation, the "commander" is too late to save him, so he should take this opportunity to dig a "mine".

In military chess, the "military flag" can only be carried after the "landmines" have been dug.

Between eating the "engineer" but losing a division commander, and "bomb" destroying the "commander", Alva chose the latter.

Ian lost the "commander", but successfully dug out the enemy's second "mine" and kept his "engineer".

In this way, there is only one mine left in Alva.After digging out the last "mine", Ian can use the "platoon leader" in the "campaign" to carry the "military flag" beside him.

Plan and then move.

When playing chess, Ian felt that he was more shrewd, stable and rational than before.When the general is killed in a row, he is not discouraged. He can quickly calculate his own actions and the possible reaction of the enemy after looking at the overall situation.No matter how bad the situation is, he can still be calm, even if someone wins the game, he can still smile calmly.

At the end of this game, the biggest piece left by Ian was the "Brigade Commander". Although Alva also lost one "Army Commander" and two "Division Commanders", he still had a "Commander".

The "commander" was blown up by Ian's bomb, and the "division commander" was eaten by Ian's commander.

Although the card is small, Ian carefully designed and worked step by step, and finally succeeded in luring the enemy, and exchanged the sacrifice of the "Brigade Commander" for the last "landmine" of the enemy.After the only remaining "bomb" blasted away the third "landmine", the platoon leader carried the "military flag" smoothly.

Ian was very happy to have won against Alva, an inexplicable person, his eyes were not only slightly playful, but even mocked by the winner to the loser.

Alva naturally saw the retaliation in Ian's expression. He was angry and looked badly. He pressed his finger twice, made a "click" sound, and said, "Come again."

Yi An didn't agree, "I'm sorry, I want to play a few games with Heng, you and Aria can take a chessboard and go to another table to play."

Aria said: "But I don't know how to play, Ian, you can continue to play with my brother, he finally met a friend."

Aria's coquettish behavior didn't work for Ian.

Ian still shook his head: "Sorry, I just want to play with Heng now."

Alva sneered a few times, pushed away the chair, and stood up.

Yi An thought he was going to leave the table, so he turned to Heng and said, "Heng, sit over there, I..."

Yi An hadn't finished speaking when Heng suddenly pulled him obliquely and threw him into his arms.

"哗啦啦——" and "咚——" sounded suddenly, and Ian turned around and saw the chess pieces all over the floor and the chessboard leaning against the table legs.

Looking up again, I saw Alva sneering and gloating.

People don't get angry, but they are really regarded as easy to bully.

Ian stared at Alva coldly for a few seconds, then bent down to pick up the chess pieces that fell on the ground.

Heng was about to get up, but was stopped by Yi An.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that Alva was turning around to leave, and Ian suddenly picked up the chessboard beside the table, stood up and threw it towards Alva.

Originally, the chessboard was about to hit Alva's back, but was blocked by a person who rushed over suddenly.

"what--"

It was Aria's cry of pain.

After being thrown, Alva stood firm, turned around and hugged Aria, seeing the chessboard at Aria's feet and the pale expression on her face, he instantly understood that it was Ian's sneak attack and Aria helped him block it. one time.

"Ian! You pervert! How dare you touch my sister!" Alva yelled out of control.

The rest of the people heard and saw the movement here, and rushed to dissuade them.There were other young people who were playing, and they all got up and walked away from the incident.

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly start fighting?" Tut was very surprised. The rest of them sat far away from here. It wasn't Aria's cry of pain and Alva's roar. I really don't know. There was a move here.

Alva didn't answer, put Aria on a chair beside her and sat down, picked up another chair, and walked towards Ian angrily, Tute and the other boys hurried forward to stop her.

Ian blocked Heng behind him, faced the doubts in everyone's eyes, and replied: "He provoked me first, and he didn't insult me ​​enough, and he even hit me with a chessboard. human body."

Although Ian felt sorry for hurting Aria by mistake, it was because Alva was wrong first, and he didn't feel wronged.

"Hmph!" Alva sneered, "What is 'insult'? What I said is the truth! Our college classmates all know that you are a voyeur! Fang Yiyun, do you think what I said is the truth!"

Everyone turned their gazes to Fang Yiyun again, and even Yi An looked at him suspiciously.

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't judge."

"Yun." Aria leaned into Fang Yiyun's arms and said while weeping, "I know you used to have a good relationship with him, but the fact is the fact. There were all the witnesses and material evidence at that time, and the whole class can prove it. "

Yi An Gengzhang Er Monk was puzzled, he looked sideways at Heng, and explained: "Heng, I don't have one."

"En." Heng straightened the messy hair on top of his head, then pulled Ian to his side, and the two stood side by side.

"Has the witness and material evidence you mentioned been investigated and verified? How do you know it's not a frame-up? It's very simple to spread rumors. If you can really determine that he is a voyeur, why didn't you call the police?" Heng asked Alva .
