Mr. Incompetent Bodyguard

After Li Rongguang picked up Shen Qingyu, he sent him to participate in the pre-match mobilization and preparation activities.

……

At six o'clock in the evening, the gates of the stadium opened, and the audience began to enter the venue one after another.The game will officially start at [-] o'clock, but before the game, there will be a warm-up activity for the players to weigh in, and the spectators who love to watch the excitement will come early.

At around 06:30, half of the people were already seated in the stadium, and there were still many vacant seats at first glance, but the seats in the south were almost full—there were seats for relatives and friends, and all the seats were for today’s contestants Cheer up friends and relatives.

The audience was chatting with their companions boredly, when suddenly, the lights in the hall came on, and not long after, a row of boxers entered the arena under the guidance of the staff.

"Wow!!!" The audience was in an uproar, and the atmosphere became lively.

Shen Qingyu looked towards the auditorium after entering the venue.His gaze stayed on the seat to the south for a moment, he frowned slightly, and retracted his gaze.

"Hey, isn't your friend here yet?" Li Rongguang also noticed that there were two abrupt vacant seats on the table of relatives and friends. He remembered that they were the seats he wanted for Shen Qingyu, "Would you like to send them a message, Inform them not to be late?"

Shen Qingyu shook his head: "My friend is not feeling well, so he probably won't be here today."

"Huh?" Li Rongguang was very disappointed.It's rare that Shen Qingyu invited his friends to watch the game, but he didn't come?

The so-called warm-up activities are actually a very important link before the game-weighing.Competitors will step onto the stage with weighing scales to disclose their weight one by one to ensure that the organizers' grading is fair.After the weighing, the two contestants who will face each other will challenge each other on the stage to mobilize the atmosphere for the next competition.

Shen Qingyu walked to the weighing platform, where his opponent for today was already waiting there - that was a 20-year-old young man named Lou Hua.

The two of them just glanced at each other in the audience and didn't speak. Not long after, the host called Lou Hua's name and asked him to come on stage first.

Lou Hua went up and took off his T-shirt and stood on the scale. The host announced loudly: "Lou Hua, 76.9 kg!"

"Oh! Lou Hua! Lou Hua! Lou Hua!" Lou Hua's relatives and friends started to cheer for him as soon as they saw Lou Hua come on stage.

After Lou Hua finished weighing, Shen Qingyu also walked up.He handed the T-shirt to the staff and stood on the scale.

"Shen Qingyu, 77.1 kg!"

The auditorium was quiet.The competition has not yet started, this is just a warm-up, no one except relatives and friends is interested in starting to wave the flag now.

Shen Qingyu and Lou Hua stood face to face on the stage, provoking each other.The referee stretched out his hands between the two to prevent excessively provocative foul actions—Western players are more aggressive, and often punch each other or even swear at each other in this link, but most Eastern players are more restrained. Just say harsh words.

"Lou Hua! Lou Hua! Lou Hua!" Relatives and friends continued to spare no effort in cheering and cheering.In the empty arena, only Lou Hua's name kept echoing.

Suddenly, a discordant voice broke in.

"Shen Qingyu! Shen Qingyu! Shen Qingyu!"

Shen Qingyu looked down the stage in surprise, and it turned out that Li Rongguang was calling his name with an old voice.He couldn't help laughing, a warm current surged through his heart.

On the stage, Lou Hua took an offensive attitude towards Shen Qingyu, and said in a disdainful tone: "I heard that your nickname is Crocodile? I don't have a nickname yet. After this game is over, I will have a new one. The nicknames are - crocodile, fish, killer, hand!"

"Pfft..." Shen Qingyu couldn't help laughing.It's not that he's deliberately not serious, but the nickname "crocodile killer" is really a bit of a second-guess.

Although both of them weigh the same, Lou Hua's body is much thicker than Shen Qingyu's.This also means that he is shorter than Shen Qingyu, and a lot shorter - Shen Qingyu is 184cm, but he is only 177cm.Such a height gap makes Shen Qingyu feel more oppressive than Lou Hua even if he just stands there and doesn't put on any posture.

Shen Qingyu smiled at him disapprovingly: "Come on."

It is not Shen Qingyu's style to speak harshly, and to lightly cheer for his opponent is his provocative way of showing contempt.

And his method is obviously more useful than trash talking, Lou Hua was a little nervous before going on stage, but after being laughed at by him, his shoulders became more tense.

More and more spectators entered the venue, and the hall became more and more lively.The contestants have also completed the weighing, and the organizer asked everyone to go to the lounge for warm-up preparations before the game.Shen Qingyu and Lou Hua will be the second group of contestants today.

Entering the waiting room, Shen Qingyu warmed up, and Li Rongguang gave him pre-match guidance: "That Lou Hua is better at hugging and throwing. You are taller than him. After playing, play more proactively, control the distance, and don't let him get close. you."

Height has an advantage in standing fighting. Long hands and long feet mean that you have a larger attack range and flexibility than the opponent, and it is easier to grasp the initiative of the game.

Shen Qingyu hummed.

Li Rongguang went on to say: "Remember the club's requirements? You control the distance well, find opportunities, the crocodile wags its tail, and KO him!"

Shen Qingyu frowned invisibly, wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

Li Rongguang was still telling the tactics for a while, while Shen Qingyu was doing warm-up.At this time, warm applause, cheers and whistles suddenly sounded outside. Even though the lounge was separated by a concrete wall, one could hear the excitement outside—at seven o'clock, the competition officially started, and the first group of players appeared on the stage!

"Come on! Come on! Come on!" Someone's relatives and friends were cheering for whom.

"Are you listening to me?" Li Rongguang shook his hand in front of him, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm listening." Shen Qingyu withdrew his gaze, switched legs and continued stretching.

After another 10 minutes, there was a burst of continuous screaming and cheering outside—the first group of contestants had already won and lost, and the game ended early!

The staff hurried in: "Are you ready? The second group is ready to play!"

Shen Qingyu had finished warming up, and strode out, Li Rongguang followed closely beside him, making the last instructions before the game: "Xiaoyu, this is your comeback battle, you must play beautifully!" !"

Shen Qingyu's eyes were deep, and he didn't respond.

Fighting competitions are different from other competitive sports. Because boxers have a high probability of being injured during the competition and need time to recuperate, fighting competitions are never held continuously.In a game, each player has only one opponent, winning is winning, and losing is losing.There is only one chance to win or lose.

Because of this, if you want to climb to the top, you must not only win, but also be beautiful and brilliant.Only by becoming famous quickly can you get tickets to more advanced professional events.Some people have played hundreds of games, even though they have excellent results, they are still not famous; some have only played a few games or a dozen games, and they have already become famous and skyrocketed.

——However, what kind of game can be considered beautiful?

Passing through the dark corridor, the moment Shen Qingyu appeared at the entrance of the venue, the spotlights caught up with him, and there was a lot of screams in the auditorium—this was not dedicated to Shen Qingyu himself, but to the audience who was about to stand. The players in the arena.

Shen Qingyu squinted his eyes, and when his eyes got used to the light, he took another look at the relatives and friends table to the south—the two seats were still vacant.

He took a deep breath, looked away, and continued walking towards the ring.

"The player who is entering the arena now is Shen Qingyu. He has participated in various competitions since he was 17 years old, and won the Intercontinental Champion of the Kunlun MMA Fighting Competition..." On the stage, the host is passionately introducing the players who are about to take the stage , "He used to be the feared crocodile in the domestic fighting world. He retired due to injury five years ago, and now he is back again. Let us look forward to the return of the crocodile!"

The sound of the introduction was mixed with the cheers and discussions of the audience, making it very noisy.Shen Qingyu didn't listen to what the host said, but just stared at the ring that was getting closer and closer to him.For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was someone in the stadium playing drums for fun, or his own heartbeat.

——He waited for this day, really for a long time.

Li Rongguang took out Shen Qingyu's braces from the box, and lowered his head to help him fasten the buckle of the glove.This was the last minute before going on stage, and Li Rongguang racked his brains to think if there was anything he hadn't had time to tell.

Suddenly, Shen Qingyu reached out to him: "Coach, give me my earphones and mobile phone."

"what?"

"Give it to me!"

Li Rongguang was also nervous at first, but his mind went blank because of his urging, and he quickly searched his bag to find his earphones and mobile phone.

Shen Qingyu took the earphones, put them in his ears, and turned on the music player software.

Li Rongguang came up to take a look, and was dumbfounded: "Are you listening to music at this time?!"

Shen Qingyu ignored him and listened intently to the music coming from the earphones.

This is a habit he developed in Thailand.Ever since he almost jumped off the rooftop that day, he was afraid that he would do the same stupid thing again, so he began to work hard to increase the bond between himself and the world.But he doesn't have many relatives, and friends can't always be by his side. The only thing that can be taken at any time when he needs it is some illusory spiritual pillars.

He rarely has time to listen to music, only before the game, or when he is depressed, he will put on headphones and listen to music.It started with an endless loop of "Run" and later downloaded more of Ji Jin's songs.He would fantasize that if he won more competitions, he would become famous, and maybe one day he would have the opportunity to meet Ji Jin face to face and say to him: I really like your song.

This fantasy once gave him a lot of motivation. Now, although he has fulfilled his wish ahead of schedule, he has other wishes and motivation...

After a while, the host stepped off the stage, and the referee came on stage to signal the contestants to come on stage.

Shen Qingyu took off the earphones, stuffed them back to Li Rongguang, supported them with his hands, and jumped onto the ring easily.
