You don't understand the gentleness of an old man

For the next two days, Fang Lu also soaked in the dance classroom as if the world had evaporated, and did not go to Li Zhi's place anymore. Li Zhi was also very sensible and did not contact him, but asked the little six supervisor Fang Lu to eat too.

Xiao Liu was so busy that he wanted to deliver meals for two people.

The bus stops in Shangnan City have been replaced with posters of the Ewha Cup at some point. In the past two days, dancers from all over the country will gather in Shangnan City to win a trophy to prove that the sweat they have shed over the years is worth it.

Fang Lu is no exception, but apart from wanting to prove himself, he also wants to show Lu Qingzhu and tell her that you have not dragged me down.

The lights in the creative park have almost been turned off, and only two exhibition halls are still setting up the venue all night, preparing for the next weekend's exhibition.

Fang Lu also put on his coat and stepped out of the creative park in the last minute of today.

Tomorrow is the first round of the Ewha Cup.

It is not easy to take a taxi at night, Fang Lu is also standing on the side of the road, and the mobile phone shows that there are about 7 minutes to take an online car-hailing order.

His heart was empty, and he entered a state of emptiness, as if he was releasing pressure, but also as if he was hoarding strength.

The moment the mobile phone showed that the online car-hailing order was accepted, Fang Luye's mobile phone rang, and it was Li Zhi's call.

"Hey?"

Li Zhi: "Are you leaving?"

"Ah?" Fang Lu didn't know why, "I just got off work... No, I just finished dancing and took a taxi at the door."

Li Zhi: "Don't get in the car, I'll come out right away."

Li Zhi hung up the phone anxiously, but Fang Lu didn't understand what it meant, did he mean to come to pick him up?

Canceling the order while operating in his hand, the driver who was seven kilometers away suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Li Zhi's car came out from the gate of the creative park, and Fang Lu was startled, "Why are you in there?"

"Come to pick you up," Li Zhi pushed open the door from the inside, touched his nose falteringly: "Fall asleep in the car."

Fang Lu couldn't laugh or cry, got in the car and fastened his seat belt: "You can call me or come up to find me."

Li Zhi said, "You are practicing."

In fact, it doesn’t matter if it ends earlier, just like when I was doing homework when I was a child, it didn’t matter if there was TV sound in the living room, but the parents were afraid that it would affect it, so they insisted on keeping the house so quiet that you could hear the needle drop on the ground.

"How long have you been waiting for me?" Fang Lu also reached out and squeezed Li Zhi's shoulder.

Li Zhi raised his hand to check the time: "It came at 10:30."

Fang Lu was also shocked, "You waited for an hour and a half?!"

"Well, go back and rest, and play well tomorrow." Li Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong, and everything was focused on the competition. He just wanted to come and see him, and he hadn't seen him for two days.

He often didn't see each other for several days before, but this time it was very different. He always thought that Fang Lu also had no one around him, and he was doing such an important thing but no one was around to cheer and encourage him.

Distressed.

Li Zhi drove to his home very naturally, and Fang Lu originally wanted to rest at his home, because when he went to Li Zhi's place, he would always worry about accidentally wiping his gun and misfiring, and it would be bad if it would affect tomorrow's state .

"How about..." Fang Lu also said with difficulty: "You should take me home, and I will rest by myself."

Li Zhi turned his head to look at him slightly: "The heating in your house is not very good, the bathroom window leaks air, and the bed is still so hard."

While talking, he secretly observed Fang Luye's expression, finally understood his point, and said helplessly, "Don't worry, I won't do it tonight."

Fang Lu felt embarrassed when Li Zhi said it so directly.

"That's not what I meant... Well, isn't today Friday? Meimei should come over, you still have to take care of her."

Li Zhi: "She didn't come today, and I won't have time to play with her tomorrow."

He promised that Fang Lu would also go to watch his game, and he would bring Lu Qingzhu with him. If he brought another child, he might not be able to take care of it.

"That's fine." Fang Lu also pretended to be regretful and said, but in fact he was very happy.

Fang Lu has also finished dancing. The long down jacket is still the loose clothes she wore for dancing today. A very ordinary gray sweater, the material is much thinner than ordinary sweaters. Everyone will not wear thick clothes.

I have another set at home that is exactly the same. I was going to wear that set to the competition tomorrow, but I can't go home tonight.Fang Lu also stood in front of the bathroom mirror and hesitated, should I wash it?

"What's wrong?" Li Zhi popped up suddenly.

Fang Lu also grabbed his clothes: "Do you think I should wash it?"

Li Zhi: "Wash it."

"I'm afraid that if I don't work tomorrow, I have to go home and waste time getting clothes." Fang Lu also explained.

Li Zhi frowned: "Aren't you planning to wear this competition?"

Fang Lu also looked back at him: "Yes."

Li Zhi couldn't understand participating in a dance competition at all, or wearing a loose sweater for such a big competition, is it because he didn't give enough money?

"Forget it, I don't want to wash it anymore, go home and get it tomorrow." Fang Lu finally finished his entanglement.

Although Li Zhi couldn't quite understand it, he still said, "Wash it, if you can do it, take it off and give it to me."

Fang Lu also took off his naked body, and the orange Yuba lights in the bathroom shone on his thin muscle-covered body, full of the beauty of lines and strength, like a forest deer bathed in the setting sun, ready to gallop away at any time .

Li Zhi was stunned.

"It would be great if there was a dryer." Fang Lu also murmured.

Only then did Li Zhi come back to his senses, took the clothes that Fang Lu had also taken off and said, "Got it."

In order to let Fang Lu also get enough sleep, Li Zhi went to bed early after washing his clothes, and it didn't take long before he heard Fang Lu's even breathing.

Daily training is too much.

Li Zhi suddenly thought that when Fang Lu also came to his house for the first time, he took a shower and left after finishing his work. Who would have thought that he would fall asleep here so peacefully now.

Before going to bed, Li Zhi went to the living room and turned over the clothes hanging next to the radiator.

The next day, Fang Lu was also urged by the biological clock, and woke up at seven o'clock. The sky will be bright, and the sun always comes later in winter than in summer.When I was in school, what I hated the most was winter. I had to get up before dawn every day to practice morning exercises.

Now instead, I want to get up early every day so that I can practice more.

Li Zhi was not on the bed, Fang Lu also got up and got out of bed, there was a light from the living room under the crack of the door.

"Why do you get up so early?" Fang Lu thought as well, put on his slippers and pushed open the bedroom door.

In the living room, there was a slight sound of the clothes steamer working. It was Li Zhi who was ironing clothes by the sliding door of the balcony, and Fang Lu walked over on tiptoe.

Li Zhi had an unlit cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, but tilted his head as if he was afraid of being smoked into his eyes. On the hanger was the clothes that Fang Lu was going to wear on stage today.

The jacket was being ironed, and the trousers were still draped over the arm of the sofa, wrinkled from being baked by the radiator all night.

"Wake up." Li Zhi said lightly.

Fang Lu also stopped walking forward, smirked and said, "How do you know I'm here?"

Li Zhi: "I have eyes in the back of my head."

Fang Lu also knew that Li Zhi was teasing him, and no matter how lightly he walked, he would still feel a living person appearing nearby.

He walked over to Li Zhi and said, "You got up so early to iron my clothes."

It seemed to be nonsense, but Li Zhi answered him seriously: "We still need to pay attention to the competition."

The steam from the garment ironing machine spewed out and then dissipated. Fang Lu also saw that Li Zhi finished ironing the jacket skillfully, then hung it aside, bent down to pick up the pants from the armrest of the sofa and hung them up.

Fang Lu also turned around to look for lighters on the coffee table, and finally found one on the TV cabinet. The moment he picked up the lighter, the Arowana next to him spit bubbles.

He returned to Li Zhi: "Do you want to smoke?"

Li Zhi was busy with his hands, "Smoking again later, in case the ash falls on the clothes."

"I'll get you the ashtray." After speaking, he lit the lighter with a snap.

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned over to light the cigarette, the smoke from the cigarette was mixed with the mist of the garment steamer, ushering in a cloudy morning.

Li Zhi cooked breakfast for Fang Lu, took out his only bottle of perfume and sprayed it on his clothes twice.

The Ewha Cup officially starts at ten o'clock in the morning. Contestants need to wait for the field. The competition venue is not far from Li Zhi's home. At nine o'clock, check the registration information, ID card, student ID card and other documents, put them in the school bag one by one, and prepare Off to the arena.

Before going out, Fang Lu was about to put on his down jacket, but Li Zhi called him off.

"come over."

Li Zhi stood in front of the Buddha statue at home, beckoning Fang Lu to go too.

"what happened?"

Li Zhi: "Worship Bodhisattva, I will bless you."

Fang Lu also didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, so he said with a smile: "I usually don't answer the Bodhisattva, but now I come to ask the Bodhisattva to bless the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva won't answer me."

"I make offerings from time to time," Li Zhi said, picked up six sticks of incense, and shared three sticks with Fang Luye: "The Bodhisattva knows."

He didn't say the latter sentence, because it was a bit sour.

He wanted to say, "I have you in my heart, and Bodhisattva will bless you."

Fang Lu also took the incense, imitating Li Zhi to hold the incense with his thumb and forefinger, then put the remaining three fingers together, and lifted the incense to the level of the eyebrows with both hands.

Seeing Li Zhi close his eyes, he seemed to be meditating in his heart.Fang Lu also closed his eyes, but there was neither Bodhisattva nor wish in his mind, Fang Lu also took a deep breath.

He said silently: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, please bless brother Zhi to fulfill his wish and be safe and happy forever."

After the two finished burning incense, they put it in the big incense burner that had accumulated a lot of incense ash, and went out one after the other.

The traffic near the competition venue was unbelievably congested. Fortunately, Li Zhi made preparations in advance and called Xiao Liu together. When he was about one kilometer away from the competition venue, he couldn't move and there was no place to park.

"Six, you drive the car away, and I'll send him to the competition." Li Zhi pushed open the door of the back seat, picked up Fang Luye's schoolbag and got out of the car.

Xiao Liu wailed and said, "Then what should I do? I also want to watch Xiao Ye compete."

Li Zhi: "Then I'll drive the car away, and you send him to the competition?"

Xiao Liu retreated immediately, not daring to speak any more.

There were also many people walking to the competition venue on the road, most of them were accompanied by their parents, some were couples, and some were even entertainers and assistants. Li Zhi was walking beside Fang Luye with his schoolbag on his back.

Fang Lu also vaguely remembers when he was very young, when his father was still there, he just started to learn dance, he learned folk dance, and he had to go to class every weekend, so did his father, carrying his schoolbag and holding his hand. Send him to class.

Thinking of this, Fang Lu also stretched out his hand to hold Li Zhi by mistake.

Li Zhi flung himself away in fright.

Fang Lu also had a slumped face, looking pitiful.

Li Zhi: "There are so many people."

Fang Lu also: "Then what's wrong."

Li Zhi wanted to say that you are going to perform outside to become a celebrity in the future, and it would be unpleasant to say that you are holding hands with an old man on the street. Besides, if you don't guarantee it, someone will say that I am your father, how hurt I am.

However, Li Zhi couldn't immediately enter the state where he could spit out explanations, so he had to point to many media reporters at the entrance of the venue not far away and said, "Someone is interviewing."

"So what, I don't want to be a star anymore, and I won't be sanctioned by the General Administration." Fang Lu said indifferently, but he didn't force him to hold hands with Li Zhi, and the two walked inside side by side.

Li Zhi: "Celebrities who dance are also stars."

Fang Lu also: "It doesn't count, you see, even if it is a top dancer like Teacher Qiu Qian, everyone will not gossip too much about her life, at least no one knows that Luo Yao is her daughter." No one said it."

"..." Li Zhi raised his forehead, "No one dares to say that it's because Luo Yao's uncle is the boss of an entertainment company."

Fang Lu also frowned and said, "How do you know that the boss of TJ belongs to Uncle Luo Yao? I don't remember that I told you."

Li Zhi coughed dryly, and said calmly: "Just checked it."

"Are you investigating me in private?!" Fang Lu also pretended to be angry.

Li Zhi couldn't hold back any longer, with a look of ruined expression on his face.

Fang Lu didn't hesitate: "Say it quickly! Why are you investigating me in private?"

Li Zhi thought that Fang Lu was also really angry, he didn't dare to vent his anger, and his eyes wandered. At this time, he didn't dare to forcefully say that he could check if he wanted to. What if he was in a bad mood and affected the game?

But he doesn't like to lie, so he really asked someone to check it out.

Li Zhi's "If you don't speak, there is no wrong tactic" lasted for 3 minutes, Fang Lu couldn't hold it anymore, stepped forward and took Li Zhi's arm and asked with a smile: "Are you worried that I will be cheated so you went to investigate?" ah?"

"..." Li Zhi couldn't figure out whether Fang Lu was talking nonsense or he was really not angry, but he had already guessed it, and simply admitted: "Yeah."

In this way, Fang Lu naturally took Li Zhi's arm and walked to the gate of the competition venue.

The venue is near the original quality modern dance troupe. This area is full of various exhibition halls and cultural centers, and the environment is very good.

The entrances for the contestants and the audience were not at the same place. Li Zhi sent Fang Lu to the entrance, gave Fang Lu also his schoolbag, watched him verify the information and walked in, and then he slowly queued up to check the tickets and enter the auditorium.

Li Zhi accompanied Meimei to participate in several competitions, but the children's competitions are accompanied by parents, and they will not be separated like this one.

The line at the spectator ticket gate was long, Li Zhi was at the end, and there were scalpers around to ask if tickets were sold?Do you want to buy a ticket?

At first he thought it was nothing, it was just someone else's work.

He didn't know scalping was illegal, and he didn't know what harm this kind of behavior would bring to the market economy.

But having two scalpers is really annoying. Most people who see someone like Li Zhi will ask a question and leave without answering. That face is not easy to provoke.

Seeing that Li Zhi didn't have a bad attitude, the two scalpers licked their faces and kept asking, "Brother, which arena? Are you alone?"

"Watching the game alone is quite boring, or you can sell me, and I will give you 30.00%."

"Do you have friends who haven't bought tickets? I have them here, and one ticket costs 80.00%."

"Yo," Li Zhi laughed when he heard this, "You've made a lot of money this time around."

The scalper laughed and said, "Oh, it's hard money. You said it's not easy for us to run around outside in this cold weather, right?"

Li Zhi laughed after hearing this, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by a passing person: "Shame on me?!"

Li Zhi took a look, isn't this Li Mingyuan?

Recognizing the person, he couldn't be sure for a while whether he was scolding the scalper or himself.

Li Mingyuan nodded to Li Zhi, signaled 'Hello', and then pointed at the scalper and scolded: "What are you working hard for? Are you working hard to organize the competition or maintain order? You have worked hard to practice dancing for several years or to type codes for the ticketing platform." ?”

The scalper took a step back: "Don't scold people if you don't buy a ticket."

Li Mingyuan stepped forward, pointed at the scalper and continued to scold: "What's wrong with scolding you? It's people like you who disrupt the market order and disrupt market pricing. The performers and staff don't earn as much as you, just because you are everywhere. Do you know that destroying the price has caused the public to resist watching the show? You..."

"There's no end to it!!" The scalper was scolded bloody by the public, and couldn't hold back his face. There were some colleagues present, and when they turned around and waved, the two who had just been watching came over.

Li Mingyuan felt a little guilty when he saw that the other party was coming, but he thought that there were so many people at the scene and there were police cars stationed not far away to maintain order. It's not wrong!"

Li Zhi had convinced Li Mingyuan.

The front line kept moving forward. Li Zhi was afraid that Li Mingyuan would be beaten, so he kept letting the people behind go to the front row first.Until the scalper called for help, Li Zhi had to give up queuing and walk behind Li Mingyuan.

Then he stood beside Li Mingyuan with his hands folded in front of his chest.

"If you want to buy it, you can buy it. If you don't buy it, you can scold others." The scalper said through gritted teeth.

Li Mingyuan glanced at the police car, wondering if there was anyone inside.

"In short, you are wrong! I will call the police and arrest you!"

The scalpers let out a hey and wanted to push forward, Li Zhi took a step forward when he saw this, and it was enough to scare the scalpers without saying a word.

"What are you doing... don't meddle in your own business, buddy."

Li Zhi: "Who is your buddy?"

The scalpers looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to be the one in charge.

Li Zhi still had to line up to enter the arena, he didn't have the mind to waste time with them, so he raised his chin: "Get lost."

The scalper left, and the people who watched the scene secretly began to line up seriously. There was still half an hour before the start of the game, and a large number of people did not enter the arena.

Li Zhi was also a little anxious, and looked down at his watch.Now if he went to the back row again, he would probably be late, so he looked at the position he had just lined up.

The little girl who happened to be behind him looked back at him, then immediately stepped back a little, and made a cowardly "please" gesture to signal Li Zhi to return to his original position.

"Are you coming to the game?" Li Mingyuan asked suddenly.

Li Zhi always felt that Li Mingyuan didn't want to see him, so he hummed casually and wanted to go back to line up.

Li Zhi helped Li Mingyuan just now, and Li Mingyuan was far from being so ungrateful, so he went up to him and said, "You're already late, I'll take you through the employee aisle."

Li Zhi was moved.

"Oh."

Li Mingyuan is a staff member for each Ewha Cup, sometimes as a backstage guide, sometimes as an alternate judge. In short, every time he will receive a staff card, he can freely enter and exit the Ewha Cup site.

When approaching the staff entrance, Li Zhi saw a familiar person.

"Mr. Qiao."

Qiao Ruonan was collapsing and flipping through his bags, seeing Li Zhi didn't even dare to collapse, he stood straight and said hello: "Hello, Uncle Meimei, are you coming to the game?"

"Yes, how about you?"

Qiao Ruonan's shoulders and neck loosened: "My ID is gone, and I can't make a call."

"Documents?"

"Well, my boyfriend got it for me. I checked it in the bag on the way, and now I don't know where to go."

Every time there is a big competition or event, the people around here are mixed, and it is normal to be picked up. Li Mingyuan thought about it and reminded her: "Is there anything else missing?"

"Huh?" Qiao Ruonan was busy looking for the admission pass just now, so he didn't pay attention at all. Li Mingyuan reminded him to look for the wallet. After looking through it, it was gone.

"No more?" Li Mingyuan asked.

Qiao Ruonan: "Well...what to do...the ID cards are all inside."

Li Mingyuan looked at Li Zhi, and Li Zhi said, "This is my niece's teacher and Fang Luye's classmate."

Li Mingyuan hesitated, but said, "Okay, let's go in together."

Following Li Mingyuan all the way into the backstage smoothly, only Li Zhi had audience tickets to watch the game, and was about to bid farewell to the competition hall when he heard Qiao Ruonan rushing towards a man with a cry.

"Why didn't you answer my phone? My wallet was stolen..."

The man put his arms around Qiao Ruonan to comfort him, saying that he didn't pay attention to it, and then pushed her away, "I'm still working, I'm so busy, can you find the studio by yourself? I'll contact you later."

"Thank God?" Li Mingyuan frowned.

Li Zhi glanced at him, just as Li Mingyuan looked up at him, and the two looked at each other. Li Zhi didn't want to ask anything, but Li Mingyuan struggled to explain: "If I remember correctly, last month when the staff had a dinner, this man still Use truth or dare to flirt with other girls."

Li Zhi lowered his eyes, "Hmm..."

Then he turned around and left. He didn't care about other people's gossip. It's normal for little girls and boys to stumble in a relationship. He has no position to interfere in these matters.

Fang Lu also finished drawing numbers in the background. The numbers are relatively low, and she is expected to play around [-] pm.After drawing the number, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Li Zhi.

Fly: "Are you in?"

Li Zhi: "Yes."

Fly: "It's field 9, don't go wrong."

Li Zhi: "Yeah"

Li Zhi: [picture]

Fang Lu also clicked on the picture. Judging from the perspective of the picture, he is probably sitting a little to the right in the middle row, and the perspective is not bad.

It's just that I don't have my own game in the morning, so I can only wait in a fixed area. The players in the No. [-] venue are all people Fang Lu doesn't know, but I have a vague impression of a boy, who seems to be a star.

The Ewha Cup is held every two years. The on-site judges are not fixed each time, and numbers need to be drawn on the spot. There are three judges in each venue. , so as to avoid bribery by private associations and ensure the fairness of the game.

Li Zhi doesn't know anything about the types of dance, but he can tell ballet, folk dance, etc., but he can't tell the difference between classical dance, modern dance, and contemporary dance.

There will be a big difference in the level of the first round of the competition, but overall it is at a higher level in the youth competition. After all, there is a threshold for registration.

Moreover, there was stage lighting and music during the competition, and the atmosphere on the scene was very good. It was different from watching Fang Lu training in the dance classroom, and Li Zhi was not very boring.

The morning game ended, and there was an hour of rest in the middle. There was a cafeteria in the venue, but the players and the audience were still separated. Fang Lu also didn't want to stick with Li Zhi now, for fear that his excitement would affect his state.

Fang Lu also went to the staff cafeteria to eat alone, and was patted on the shoulder when he was queuing up to get the fruit plate.

"Xiaoya!!"

Fang Lu also turned around, and it turned out to be his former roommate Ma Xiaojun.

"Xiaojun! Are you participating too?!"

The previous dormitory was a four-person room, one was an international student from Manchester, the other was a southerner, Ma Xiaojun and Fang Lu were also locals, and Fang Lu was also not very cheerful. At the beginning, the integration of the dormitory was all relying on Ma Xiaojun as a lubricant in the middle agent.

Later, the roommate from the south dropped out of school and went to the draft, and there were only three people left.

Among them, Fang Lu also has the best relationship with Ma Xiaojun. He is sincere and kind, enthusiastic but measured.At the beginning, Fang Lu also had contact with Ma Xiaojun when he dropped out of school, but later he didn't get loan sharks, so he broke contact because he was afraid that the loan sharks would trouble Ma Xiaojun if he had too many contacts.

This is also the reason why Lu Qingzhu broke contact with his friends and colleagues. Loan sharks are everywhere, and they don't want to trouble their friends.

Ma Xiaojun stepped forward and patted Fang Luye on the shoulder twice: "It's been a long time since I saw you, how are you recently?"

Seeing that Ma Xiaojun pursed his lips and looked like he was about to cry, Fang Lu also hurriedly smiled and said, "It's pretty good, don't you think I'm all here to participate in the competition?"

Thinking of when Ma Xiaojun sent money to himself several times when he just dropped out of school, although he returned all of them, he was still happy to have such a friend.After two years of no contact, or even two years of no so-called friends, Fang Lu was also very happy to see Ma Xiaojun.

The two sat down and ate together after making a meal together.

"Xiao Ye, I read the report about your participation in the aspiration dance troupe, it's amazing!"

Fang Lu also smiled, said that it was the resource introduced by the teacher, and asked which group he was in.

Ma Xiaojun: "I'm on the 5th, how about you? By the way, have your family affairs been resolved? How is your sister? Is she better?"

Fang Lu also answered one by one.

We chatted a lot about work and life, and when we were about to finish eating, Ma Xiaojun hesitated to speak, and two large characters of entanglement were written on his face.

"What's wrong?" Fang Lu also asked proactively.

Ma Xiaojun hesitated for a while, but still asked: "Have you fallen in love?"

Fang Lu also looked surprised: "Why do you ask such a question?"

Has the temperament around me already revealed the information of my love?

"That's it..." Ma Xiaojun moved closer, and said in a low voice, "Zhao Qi was talking nonsense in school that you were lying on your lap outside, and that you were being...wrapped or something."

The author has something to say:

Let's just say, it's really not easy for Li Mingyuan to live such a big life...

ps: Thank you for the treasures who gave me mine and nutrient solution~ But I want to interact with you in a chat, the electronic thanks are too long, manual thanks~
