The substitute is actually a scum attacking himself

The three-day vacation was over, the group returned to the capital, and the second half of the training camp began again.Because a group of people were screened out, there were a lot fewer people training together, and the Los Angeles University team even had a separate training ground.

Xie Xingzhou, as a logistics supporter, still has nothing to do.

When the team was training, he would sit aside and draw pictures, and if someone was thirsty, he would pass a bottle of water or two dry towels.

Ever since Zhao Lin caught him kissing Jiang Muye last time, the two hadn't spoken for a long time.

Although he didn't feel embarrassed, Zhao Lin seemed to have been shocked a lot. When he saw him, he always bowed his head and walked away, especially when Jiang Muye was present.

Today, Jiang Muye, as the captain, was called to a meeting by the coach of the sports center, and Zhao Lincai found a chance to talk to him.

"Xie Xueba..." Zhao Lin scratched his head, stretched his neck to look at his drawing board, and said, "You are drawing the captain."

"En." Xie Xingzhou paused for a while, and his eyes fell on the portrait of the man with slender eyebrows.

This one is indeed Jiang Muye.

He knows Jiang Muye well, the matter of the last portrait was not resolved, it was like a small thorn pierced into the flesh, Jiang Muye couldn't care about it when he was busy, so it didn't hurt, but what if Jiang Muye If you insist on unplugging it on a whim, you will inevitably torment him.

In order to avoid this unnecessary dispute, he always coaxes people well.

"The painting looks really like it. Did Xie Xueba learn sketching?" Zhao Lin asked, knowing nothing about art.

Xie Xingzhou shook his head: "I'm in the oil painting class."

"Then you're really good at sketching!" Zhao Lin exclaimed.

Xie Xingzhou: "Sketching is the foundation."

"Oh, I don't quite understand." Zhao Lin chuckled, sat down beside Xie Xingzhou, tilted his head and asked him cautiously, "Xie Xueba, I want to ask you something, you and the captain... are you from you? Did you start dating before joining the team?"

Xie Xingzhou was slightly stunned, this was the first time someone mentioned him and Jiang Muye in front of him, and it was also the first time he heard the word "love" used to describe their relationship from others.

"Yeah." He smiled lightly and admitted.

Seeing the people around him nodding, Zhao Lin's face suddenly changed, and he felt vaguely wronged. He said in a sour tone: "So Xie Xueba, you joined the team for the captain, right? Then you get close to us, send us portraits, and joke with me, yes Isn't it also for the captain, we...we stinky men who stinky sweat every day, don't you really look down on us..."

It's no wonder Zhao Lin thought so, because the rumors of Xie Xingzhou's iceberg beauty in school were indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so he was shocked and excited when Xie Xingzhou joined the team. Later, his relationship with Xie Xingzhou became better day by day, and he could even be called a ecstatic when friends.

But in the end, he was told that he was able to be friends with such an excellent person only because he was honored by others.

Zhao Lin felt so shocked that he was almost devastated.

After listening to his words, Xie Xingzhou rolled his eyes, showed the biggest smile he had ever seen, and said, "No, it's because you are cute."

"Really?!" Zhao Lin's dark face flushed instantly, and excitedly pricked up two invisible ears on the top of his head, "Xie Xueba, do you really think I'm cute! I'm so happy!"

He jumped up from the ground, couldn't help but open his arms to hug Xie Xingzhou.

"Zhao Lin, what are you doing, go to training." Coach Kong suddenly appeared and interrupted him.

"Oh." Zhao Lin pursed his mouth aggrievedly, withdrew his hand, and ran away resentfully with his tail between his legs.

"Coach." Xie Xingzhou stood up from his seat.

Kong Rui waved at him and said, "Yes, Xingzhou, I'm looking for you. Because these kids have a final assessment match after training, I customized a pair of sneakers for each of them two days ago. It can be done in one day, but there seems to be something delayed at the shoe factory."

Xie Xingzhou listened quietly.

Kong Rui continued: "You have nothing to do this afternoon. If there is nothing to do, please go to the shoe factory to confirm the progress."

"Okay." Xie Xingzhou agreed.

Kong Rui asked again: "Can you drive?"

Xie Xingzhou shook his head. He has no sense of direction and has not passed the driver's license yet.

"In that case, wait for Mu Ye, and when he comes back from the meeting, I'll let him drive with you." Kong Rui said, "Young Master Mu Ye can't delay things after training all afternoon, not for those boys, not for those boys The basics are not enough, I have to practice hard for me, I only know how to play all day long."

Xie Xingzhou smiled faintly: "Okay."

Kong Rui: "Okay, then you go back and get ready. I'll ask Mu Ye to find you in the garage after the meeting."

Sports center, basketball association conference room.

The head coach sat in the main seat with a serious look on his face, "Lastly, I hope every team will pay attention to the attendance of the morning run in the future. If the attendance rate is not up to the standard, the qualification for the final assessment will be cancelled. Captains, please inform your team members. .The above is the end of today's meeting, and the meeting is adjourned."

After the meeting, everyone returned to the training ground.

Jiang Muye was at the end of the crowd, and a captain who was sitting next to him just came over to chat up him, "Brother, our team's training ground is next to each other."

Jiang Muye glanced at him, then nodded casually.

The other party didn't mind, and continued, "Who is that little team member that you recorded attendance in the morning? Our team members have been staring at him for several days, and we really want to get to know him. Can you give me his contact information?"

That team member is Xie Xingzhou.

Jiang Muye's footsteps stopped, and his eyes on the other party suddenly became unfriendly.

The other party didn't seem to be aware of it, and continued to speak frivolously: "You also know that this training ground is full of a group of old men, and the women only have a coach and a few unsightly support staff. The brothers have no other intentions. They just think that your team That young team member has delicate skin and tender flesh, looks good on the eyes, and wants to borrow it to play for two days."

"Playing?" Jiang Muye's voice was terribly deep, and the air pressure around him instantly dropped to freezing point.

He didn't wait for the people around him to react, and directly threw his fist at them.

"Jiang Muye!" Kong Rui who rushed over happened to see this scene, and rushed to grab his wrist.

The man had already closed his eyes in fright from the sudden blow of the punch, and after waiting for two seconds before the fist fell, he opened his eyes resentfully, and cursed boldly, "Fuck, it's just a joke, as for Do you want to do it? Your temper is so fucking bad!"

Hearing this, Jiang Muye narrowed his eyes dangerously, and took another step towards the man, but luckily Kong Rui stopped him in time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man ran away in despair.

Only then did Kong Rui let go of Jiang Muye, and said, "This is not a school, don't get into fights."

Jiang Muye sneered, "He deserves a beating."

Kong Rui knew that Jiang Muye would not intentionally pick things up, and it must be the local government who made the first insult, so he stopped talking and told him about the shoe factory, "It's two o'clock in the afternoon, and Xingzhou is waiting for you in the hotel garage. It's just in the western suburbs, not too far away, you guys go and come back quickly."

"Understood." Jiang Muye nodded, turned and walked towards the hotel.

When he arrived at the hotel garage, Xie Xingzhou was standing next to one of the off-road vehicles with his back to him. Xie Xingzhou's hair was a little long, and the ends of his hair swept over the collar of his short-sleeved shirt.

Jiang Muye remembered the last time at the beach, Xie Xingzhou's hair was burnt by fire, and he was reluctant to cut it himself, and he didn't know if the hair was left on purpose.

But the long-haired Xie Xingzhou would probably look good too. Thinking of this, Jiang Muye couldn't help smiling, ready to walk over.

At this time, the phone in his hand vibrated twice.He glanced at it, stopped in his tracks, and froze in place.

It came from a wechat number that had been dusty for a long time. He couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen this profile picture.

[Su Ruan: I'm back, I want to see you, now I'm waiting for you at the water bar next to your training hall. 】

What should come will always come, Jiang Muye leaned against the wall behind him, raised his head and closed his eyes.

The mobile phone in his hand was tightly held by him. After a long time, he raised his upper body and glanced into the garage.

Xie Xingzhou was still standing there in the same posture as before, as if he was a little tired from waiting. He looked up at the water pipe on the roof of the garage, but he still didn't turn around, so he didn't notice Jiang Muye not far away.

At this moment, Jiang Muye's phone vibrated again.

【Su Ruan: I'm alone. We haven't seen each other for four years. I'll wait for you today. 】

Jiang Muye slowly looked away from Xie Xingzhou, turned off the phone, turned and left the hotel garage.

Xie Xingzhou waited for nearly half an hour. It was noon now, and there was almost no one in the garage.

He heard two footsteps just now, and when he looked back, he only saw a passing figure.

When Kong Rui received a call from Xie Xingzhou, he glanced at the time in surprise before asking, "Is Mu Ye not here yet? I saw him go to the hotel half an hour ago."

"No." Xie Xingzhou said.

"What's going on." Kong Rui was puzzled, "Well, let me call him, or you can call him directly and ask him?"

Xie Xingzhou: "No need, my friend will drive me by car, it may be a little later."

"It's fine, it's okay, the shoe factory is open until ten o'clock in the evening, so be careful on the road."

"Yeah." Xie Xingzhou hung up the phone and glanced at the time, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.

He couldn't help but feel a little happy with the rare free time, so he immediately called Meng Siyi, saying that he had time to visit Aunt Duan in the nursing home, and asked Meng Siyi to drive to pick him up.

Meng Siyi happened to be shopping in a nearby shopping mall. Less than 10 minutes after receiving the call, the car drove into the hotel garage.

"Is it so difficult for your team to ask for leave? It's been a long time since I've been back, and I've only seen you twice." After receiving someone, Meng Siyi couldn't help complaining.

Xie Xingzhou fastened his seat belt and said, "It's not difficult, it's just more troublesome."

The trouble was dealing with Jiang Muye, he didn't want Jiang Muye to know everything about his brother.

Meng Siyi nodded, expressing her understanding.

When the car drove out of the hotel garage and passed by the door of a water bar, she chatted again, "I just passed by this water bar, and saw a person looking down at the angle that looked like you. I almost admitted my mistake and went in to look for you. Then I thought about it, You probably don't like this kind of place, and when that person looked up, I realized that the front face was not the same."

"There are a lot of people who look alike in the world." Xie Xingzhou looked at the street scene passing by outside the window, and Jiang Muye's face flashed in his mind.

Meng Siyi smiled and said, "Indeed, many people who are not related by blood still look exactly the same."

Xie Xingzhou didn't answer any more. After a long while, he turned his head to look at Meng Siyi and asked her, "What would happen if you met someone who looked very similar to my brother?"

Meng Siyi was taken aback for a moment, and turned her head to meet him at the red light.

The red light jumped over second by second, she started the car and set off, and then smiled bitterly, "I might be scared, or I might cry, I don't know, I hope I don't encounter that Alone, watching him think of brother, I might go crazy."

"Nanfeng, huh." Xie Xingzhou said in a muffled voice, and stopped talking, but the sockets of his eyes that he hastily opened became a little moist.

The car stopped at the Hongfu District Mental Sanatorium. Xie Xingzhou had never been here, and this was the first time Aunt Duan had moved here.

"Miss Meng, you're here." The nurse went out holding the clothes Duan Jingcheng had changed, and greeted Meng Siyi at the door.

Meng Siyi nodded, and looked in through the transparent window at the door with Xie Xingzhou, and saw Duan Jingcheng lying on the bed sleeping.

The nurse said again: "Miss Meng, the wife just fell asleep today, so don't go in, just take a look here."

"Okay." Meng Siyi asked, "How is she doing recently?"

The nurse said: "It's not very good. The attacks are getting more and more frequent. The young man who came to see him last time was injured by her illness. Every time you come, you are beaten again and again. It's really hard for you."

"Got it, go get busy." Meng Siyi said.

After the nurse left, Xie Xingzhou asked, "Is there anyone else to see Aunt Duan?"

Duan Jingcheng's business was supported by Duan Jingcheng alone, and her career was under great pressure. It was not easy for her to pull Duan Jize alone, but fortunately, Duan Jize was sensible and excellent, and the Duan family's business was also flourishing in those years.

I thought everything was going in a good direction, but Duan Jingcheng suddenly encountered a white-haired man giving away a black-haired man, and lost his mind overnight.

From then on, the Duan family's business fell apart, and those directors in the company who were dissatisfied with Duan Jingcheng's vigorous and resolute behavior ran away with money, leaving her a mess.

Duan Jingcheng has no relatives and no friends. After dementia, even the nanny at home resigned and left. The only ones who stayed to take care of her were Xie Xingzhou and Meng Siyi.

"There should be, I don't know too much." Meng Siyi recalled, "It is said that my brother braved the fire and rescued several people, but the last time he went in, he couldn't come out. So those who were rescued by my brother in the first two years are grateful, I will come to see Aunt Duan, but Aunt Duan has beaten them away, so there have been fewer people in the past two years."

Xie Xingzhou smiled bitterly: "Yes, I know a lot about first aid. If it wasn't for saving people, nothing would happen."

No matter when, he will still be moved by Duan Jize's kindness and selflessness.

"Xingzhou." Meng Siyi held Xie Xingzhou's shoulders, looked him in the eyes, and said solemnly, "Brother is very kind, saving people is his instinctive choice, if he refuses to save people, it will be more painful than living."

"I know, I don't blame anyone." Xie Xingzhou touched Duan Jingcheng in the ward through the glass window on the door.

The two stood in front of the ward for a long time before leaving.

On the way back, Xie Xingzhou said to Meng Siyi, "If there is a chance, I would like to meet that person who is still visiting Aunt Duan."

Meng Siyi was taken aback, "What did you see him for?"

"Don't get me wrong." Xie Xingzhou said, "I just want to see how those people are doing, and I don't want them to live with self-blame."

Meng Siyi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xie Xingzhou softly and smiled: "Xingzhou, you are as kind as brother."

Xie Xingzhou also smiled: "Brother taught me."

……

Su Ruan sat in this water bar named Jiannuan, waited for more than an hour, and finally saw a tall figure walking in from the door.

Jiang Muye is still as tall and handsome as in high school, no matter where he goes, he is the most eye-catching one in the crowd.

Su Ruan hurriedly straightened the long sleeves to cover the pinch marks that Tan Xiu had made for him. He bit his lips nervously, watched Jiang Muye sit down opposite him, and said, "Brother Muye, long time no see."

The person on the opposite side has a handsome face, with dyed chestnut hair, wearing a long-sleeved shirt with complicated styles, and flamboyant earrings on his ears.

Jiang Muye found that the person opposite was different from the Su Ruan he remembered from high school, but he couldn't say exactly what was different.

He thought he would lose his composure and get nervous when he saw Su Ruan again, but he didn't. He was just dull for two seconds, and said, "It's been a long time."

"It's been four years, how are you doing recently?" Su Ruan tried hard to find a topic, speaking quickly, "Are you tired from training?"

"It's okay, what do you want from me?" There was an electronic clock on the wall opposite the water bar, and Jiang Muye glanced over Su Ruan's head to check the time.

It's been 15 minutes since he came from the garage.

Su Ruan caught Jiang Muye's subtle movements, turned his head and glanced, and found that when Jiang Muye was distracted to watch the time, he couldn't help but feel lost, lowered his head to stir the drink in his hand, and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Muye, you are very tired." busy?"

It's been a long time since I heard someone call him this name, Jiang Muye couldn't help but glance at Su Ruan.

But it was this look that made his heart tremble.

Su Ruan on the opposite side lowered her head with a lost expression, but from his angle, she could only see Su Ruan's eyebrows and eyes covered by the broken hair on her forehead.

This is the angle, it really looks like Xie Xingzhou.

Jiang Muye couldn't help clenching his hands on his lap. He didn't know why the image of Xie Xingzhou standing in the garage waiting for him suddenly flashed across his mind, and he felt restless for a moment.

He didn't even hide it anymore, he raised his hand and glanced at his watch, only to find that half an hour had passed.

Jiang Muye didn't need to answer this action, Su Ruan could tell that he was really busy.

This made Su Ruan feel very uneasy, and he tried to say something to keep Jiang Muye, "Brother Muye, do you still remember that I read manuscripts on the school radio station in the first year of high school, and stayed after school every day for training, Do you wait for me every day? Are there any urgent matters you can't let go of now, can't you be patient with me like before? "

Jiang Muye naturally remembered that after school in the first year of high school, he and Tan Xiu played basketball on the playground, Su Ruan trained at the radio station, and then the three of them went home together.

But it's meaningless to talk about these past events now, he frowned, "I still have something to do today, let's make a long story short."

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to see you. I miss you so much. I want to talk to you. I was wrong when I left without saying goodbye. I know I was wrong." Su Ruan was the most capable of pretending to be pitiful, and said His voice was choked up, and his eyes were moist.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but what the person on the other side said was still meaningless.

Jiang Muye became even more anxious, glanced at the time again, and said, "If there's really nothing else, I'll leave first."

After all, he stood up and turned to leave.

Seeing that the person on the opposite side was about to leave, Su Ruan's eyes widened in disbelief, and she reached out her hand unwillingly to grab Jiang Muye's clothes, but it was in vain.

He had no choice but to call out Jiang Muye's name loudly regardless of the public place, and said, "Do you still wear the jade pendant I gave you?"

Jiang Muye paused, and subconsciously reached out to touch his pocket.

Then, as if he remembered something, he turned his head to look at Su Ruan and said, "It was accidentally broken."

"Broken?" Su Ruan's fingertips trembled, and she stood up from her seat in a panic, "How did it break, and who broke it?"

This is the only commemorative thing he gave to Jiang Muye. Jiang Muye should cherish it very much. It cannot be broken. He thinks that Jiang Muye is lying to him.

"I broke it by accident." Jiang Muye looked at Su Ruan in front of him crying and felt a headache. He took a deep breath and said, "If you want to go back, I can buy one and return it to you."

Su Ruan cried and shook her head: "Brother Mu Ye, you know, what I care about is not the necklace at all, I just want to know if you have taken me..."

"I really have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Jiang Muye interrupted him suddenly, turned and left.

Su Ruan chased after a step without giving up, but was caught by the corner of the table. He stood up reluctantly, and said to Jiang Muye's back: "Brother Muye, I will come to you again!"

Jiang Muye just paused a step when he heard the sound, and then left Jiannuan Shui Bar without looking back.

Su Ruan fell down on the sofa seat, and angrily swept the drink on the table to the floor, the glass shattered and splashed out, causing people around to look at him in shock.

The waiter also heard the movement here, and came to check the account with the account book.

"Sir, you have damaged the tableware of our store without reason, and you have to pay for it according to the price." The waiter said.

Su Ruan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said coquettishly, "I will pay you! I didn't say no!"

"How much?" A deep voice came from the side of the two.

Su Ruan froze all over, turned her head to meet Tan Xiu's terrifying eyes, he stood up and wanted to run out, but was grabbed by Tan Xiu.

After leaving the Hongfu District Mental Sanatorium, Meng Siyi sent Xie Xingzhou to the Xijiao shoe factory that Kong Rui mentioned.

This shoe factory specializes in private customization, and is a well-known brand in the world, but for some reason, the factory was built in such a remote place.

Meng Siyi parked the car on the last piece of concrete, and looked at the gravel at the end, worrying, "Xingzhou, are you sure it's here? It's too far away."

Xie Xingzhou looked up and saw the huge logo above the shoe factory on the opposite side, and then confirmed the location on the mobile phone map, "It is right here, this brand has been established for many years, it is probably an old factory of it. You go back first, I will go in by myself .”

Meng Siyi: "Can you do it yourself? Who will take you back later?"

"Okay, you can go back." Xie Xingzhou was afraid that Jiang Muye would come, and he didn't want Meng Siyi to see him.

"Okay...then I'm leaving, you pay attention to safety." Meng Siyi hesitated for a moment, and drove away.

The shoe factory was surrounded by a piece of wasteland and a dilapidated residential area. Xie Xingzhou walked alone through the potholed path and found the main entrance of the shoe factory.

There was a master loading cars at the door. After Xie Xingzhou and a management-looking person explained their intentions, the other party asked him to wait in the receiving room at the side door of the factory, saying that their manager had gone out and hadn't come back yet.

Xie Xingzhou waited all afternoon until seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky gradually darkened.

He asked the old man again, and when he learned that the manager of the shoe factory would not be back until ten o'clock in the evening, he decided to find a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Under the instructions of his master, Xie Xingzhou walked into the old residential area opposite the shoe factory and walked down a narrow alley.

The residential area is very dilapidated, and the walls have been weathered for many years and have turned the color of mud.Most of the residents have moved out, and it takes a long time to walk to see a house with lights on.

The sky was completely dark, and flocks of birds flew over the western suburbs. Their feathers could not be seen clearly in the night, and they became the black of crows.

The wind in the alley was chilly, and Xie Xingzhou felt goosebumps all over his body for no reason, feeling that the surrounding atmosphere was a bit weird.

Suddenly he stopped, and the sound of dead leaves being crushed in his ears also stopped, but there were no leaves under his feet.

Xie Xingzhou's heart tightened, he turned his head and took a look, and he really saw an adult man wearing a hat following him behind him.

The man was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face clearly, but his exposed eyes were very fierce.

Xie Xingzhou forcibly calmed down, turned around and continued walking.

The snack street hidden deep in the alley that the old master said is not far away, and you can see the light of the snack street when you turn the corner in front.

Xie Xingzhou held his breath and quickened his pace. The person behind him seemed to know that he had been discovered, so he also quickened his pace.

A black cat crossed the alley and let out a meow, attracting the attention of the people behind it.

Taking advantage of this moment, Xie Xingzhou raised his feet and ran towards the bright corner of the front.

When his eyes were illuminated by the dazzling lights of the snack street, he fell into a firm embrace.

The person holding him was panting rapidly, and his heart was pounding in his chest, which was a frequency he was familiar with.
