Get Married - Chap 37
The sound of the sphere hitting the ground came from the gust of cold wind after a large truck passed by.
very familiar. Familiar as if back in high school.
Xin Rong stood up from the stone bench in a daze, he didn’t know if he was blown stupid by the wind, why he remembered the field of the school for the children of the Railway Bureau.
The phone started to vibrate again, Xin Rong scratched her hair a little annoyedly, and took out the phone from her trouser pocket with the other hand.
This time it was the driver, Brother Chen, who called. Xin Rong hesitated, but still didn’t answer.
He didn’t want to go back and face Shao Chengyun for the time being. This is not venting anger.
Chu Yu is Chu Yu, Shao Chengyun is Shao Chengyun, Xin Rong understands this. But there seems to be a faint connection between them.
Xin Rong walked violently for a few streets just now, and her whole body became more sober, and she could recall what happened in Haoli in the morning in a relatively calm manner. He thought that the trace of connection was probably because Chu Yu and Shao Chengyun both had a condescending temperament, Chu Yu’s expression was more rough and direct, while Shao Chengyun was not easy to be noticed.
This innate sense of superiority is the barrier between Shao Chengyun and Xin Rong.
——It is Xin Rong who will not compromise, and Shao Chengyun may never look at the crux of the world from Xin Rong’s perspective.
When the call ended automatically, Xin Rong heard the faint sound of playing ball again. He opened the map on his mobile phone, entered the address of the children’s school, and was surprised to find that he had walked near the Railway Bureau before he knew it.
Since I came here tonight from the community where Lao Song and his wife lived, the direction was different from the past, and I had never been to this block before, so Xin Rong didn’t realize that the football field of the children’s school was in the next street.
When Xin Rong was in his second and third year of high school, his mother was sick and hospitalized and borrowed money everywhere. Occasionally, he would ride there to play wild ball after evening self-study.
It can be regarded as a way to relieve stress. At that time, Xin Rong could not see the way forward, and her family was struggling financially. She had to dig and search for food in the school cafeteria just to save a dollar or two. Every day was very tiring and fucked. Playing can be released, which was one of the few ways for him to decompress at that time.
Xin Rong turned off his cell phone, he wanted to have a good time playing football, and prevent Shao Chengyun from finding him. Then he picked up his mobile phone and continued walking, turning right after passing a cross road, and the sound of playing ball and voices became louder and louder.
The stadium is still as old and as noisy as ever. Perhaps because of the winter vacation, there are more young people playing golf than Xin Rong imagined. Those slim figures in single clothes on the court are in stark contrast to the passers-by wrapped in thick coats.
Xin Rong felt the blood in his body become hot all of a sudden, he missed this feeling so much.
He entered through the half-open iron gate and glanced at several halves of the stadium. The last time I came here was half a year ago, on the day of Xin Rong’s 21st birthday, he happened to be on vacation, and Meng Donglin and his group of friends celebrated his birthday. First, I set up a large box in a nearby restaurant to eat Hunan cuisine. After eating and drinking, the group of friends asked Xin Rong where he wanted to go to continue the restaurant.
Xin Rong doesn’t like singing karaoke, and doesn’t like clubbing, so she suggests not playing ball.
A few friends laughed a little speechlessly, saying that this is too fucking innocent, who still thinks about playing basketball on their birthday?
Xin Rong didn’t speak, but Meng Donglin stood up and said, what is the birthday boy doing? I will play tonight.
But because it was a 3v3 with friends, and their respective skills were uneven, to be honest, Xin Rong didn’t have much fun playing that night, it was just a kind of consolation that was better than nothing.
Xin Rong saw a somewhat familiar face among the players. He was a student who was a class behind him when he was in the Foreign Language High School. He seemed to live near here, and he was often seen on this court before.
Xin Rong walked over and said to the young man who was drinking the energy drink, “Is there a shortage of people? I will play with you?” The young man raised his head when he heard the voice. Because of the lighting of the
stadium, he looked at Xin Rong for a while. He squinted his eyes, then stood up in surprise, “I’ll go! Senior, I haven’t seen you for a long time!” Xin Rong is not very good at remembering people’s names, and couldn’t remember the name of this junior for a while. He nodded, and said lightly, “Recently, the internship is busy, so there are fewer visits.” The
friends around the junior suddenly called him “Dada”, and Xin Rong remembered his name, Jiang Chengda, when he was reminded.
”Let’s go together. It just so happens that my friend has sprained his ankle. You can replace him.” Jiang Chengda raised his chin while talking, glanced over Xin Rong’s shoulder, and aimed at the group of people behind him, then said, “Brother Cao and his group Do you remember? His hands are pretty dark.”
Of course, Xin Rong remembers that Xin Rong’s style of play in his third year of high school was also considered ruthless, and he was well-known in this golf course. It was planted in Brother Cao’s hands several times, and it was the injured kind, so I was deeply impressed.
Xin Rong took off his coat, threw it on the bench, and said to Dada, “I haven’t played for a while, I’ll move around first, and give me the ball.”
The friend with a sprained foot sat on the chair and glanced at Xin Rong. Rong’s coat, and seeing the shoes on Xin Rong’s feet, he immediately said to Xin Rong who was dribbling, “Dude, are you wearing this to play? Don’t you feel bad if you get dirty after stepping on it?” Xin Rong had no intention of showing off at all
. Shao Chengyun’s assistant bought two or three boxes of the clothes and shoes he is wearing now and sent them directly to the villa. He had to wear it, even the most low-key one, in order to be worthy of Shaw’s identity.
So there is nothing to feel bad about, all the money spent is Shao Chengyun’s.
There are generally no rules on the golf course. Although Xin Rong always went for the game itself, the three people on the opposite side, Brother Cao, were not. They usually have to gamble for money when they play, and there are some sinister tricks when they lose.
But Xin Rong has no time to pick opponents right now. Before playing, Dada patted Xin Rong on the shoulder and asked him, “How is it bro, did you find the hand feeling?”
Xin Rong said, “It’s okay.”
Xin Rong is a very cool boy on the court. Because he is not that strong, he usually doesn’t grab the basket with others, but he plays very hard, the ball is also tricky, and he is very accurate on three-pointers from the outside. He belongs to the kind of person who plays with his brain and has good physical coordination. The three on Dada’s side had just been brutally abused by the opponent for a round, and Xin Rong suddenly felt a little like a heavenly soldier. When they returned to the court, Dada and his friends regained their confidence.
Xin Rong was in a bad mood today, holding back her energy, and said very little on the court. Sometimes Dada and the others told him to pass the ball, but he just moved without making a sound. If you feel that the timing is bad and you can’t pass the ball, you can take the ball to the basket and make a strong attack. This style of play kills the opponent’s momentum, but it is also easy to irritate the opponent.
When Shao Chengyun drove to this field, Xin Rong had already played two rounds, and there were people watching and applauding inside and outside the iron net, but Shao Chengyun didn’t lean over.
Xin Rong suddenly didn’t answer the call and turned off the phone, which had never happened before.
After Shao Chengyun confirmed that he had left Lao Song and his wife’s house, but the driver didn’t pick him up, he had no choice but to enable the location of his mobile phone, and then found that Xin Rong’s mobile phone signal appeared at the Railway Bureau, so he drove to find him.
Shao Chengyun leaned against the car, answering the phone while looking at the old basketball court from a distance.
Why did Xin Rong turn off her phone without saying a word, and play ball here alone? Shao Chengyun has not yet figured it out.
—Maybe something happened at work? But it’s not like, at least it shouldn’t be such a big reaction.
The hardest part of Xin Rong’s internship should have passed by long ago. Based on Shao Chengyun’s understanding of him, if it’s just work pressure or being reprimanded by his boss, it should still be within his tolerance.
Shao Chengyun told Aunt Hui on the phone that the person had been found, and asked her to inform the driver to drive over.
For the time being, Shao Chengyun doesn’t want Xin Rong to know about the phone’s location. With Xin Rong’s temperament, he would definitely not accept this kind of surveillance, so it was inappropriate for Shao Chengyun to appear here suddenly, and it was easy to explain it unclearly. But the driver can find a reason, for example, because he didn’t pick up Xin Rong, he took a few laps around Lao Song’s house, and happened to find him at the stadium. This statement can still be fooled. Shao Chengyun thought of this, and was about to call the driver to give some instructions. Before the call was dialed, Xin Rong shot an outside three-pointer from the iron net. The posture was very beautiful, and the black hoodie shook off when he took off. After a moment, the hat was lifted, and finally the ball went hollow into the basket.
The moment Xin Rong was stuck in the air, Shao Chengyun’s gaze was fixed. When Xin Rong landed, there were cheers from around, and someone yelled “Good shot”, Shao Chengyun somehow put down his phone slowly.
The young side face looked very sharp under the lighting of the stadium, and the moment it landed, it seemed to hit Shao Chengyun’s heart directly, making his breathing stagnant.
Shao Chengyun had never seen the way Xin Rong played before, which gave him an indescribable feeling.
He didn’t call the driver again, but stared at Xin Rong’s game for a few minutes.
Xin Rong’s shooting accuracy is amazing, and his hands are steady. Shao Chengyun could see that he was playing with a certain low-pressure mood. He didn’t even see a smile on his face. He didn’t bother to high-five his teammates when he scored a goal. He didn’t even care whether his teammates were covering or not, as long as there was an opening, he would shoot and score.
Shao Chengyun watched it for a while, and finally shook his head and smiled a little puzzled, thinking who the hell provoked him, and made the child so angry.
He hadn’t finished thinking about this idea when there was a commotion on the other side of the iron net, and Xin Rong’s teammates fought with each other.
There were quite a few people around Shao Chengyun in front of him, so he didn’t notice who made the move at first.
In fact, it was Brother Cao and the others who tripped over Xin Rong who was dribbling because they lost too badly, and then intentionally stepped on his sneakers. Jiang Chengda reacted quickly, and immediately stretched out his hand to pull Xin Rong up, but Brother Cao refused to let go, picked up the ball and threw it at Xin Rong.
Xin Rong dodged, the ball brushed past his shoulder and hit the concrete floor. Now the repressed anger on both sides exploded, and they began to grab people, curse and beat them.
In the past, when encountering such situations, Xin Rong usually did not fight back. At that time, he didn’t dare to cause trouble. First, he was afraid that he would lose money if he hurt someone, but he had no money to pay; So there were times when he was beaten silently.
But when he comes back to this stadium today, he is already a person who has no worries. It doesn’t matter if you get hurt, and it doesn’t matter if you hurt someone. He knows that this is an excuse to vent his emotions, but he doesn’t want to always be so rational and restrained. As soon as Brother Cao grabbed his collar, he broke away, and then punched him suddenly.
It was at this moment that Shao Chengyun’s voice sounded, “Xin Rong!”
Then Shao Chengyun kicked onto the iron net, and the entire guard net shook.
Xin Rong turned around in astonishment, only to see Shao Chengyun standing outside the iron net, pointing at the person behind him from the air, and said with a grim expression, “Don’t touch him.” At the same time that Brother Cao froze in surprise, he rushed at Xin Rong. Commanded, “Come out.”
Xin Rong was stunned and did not move, Shao Chengyun repeated, “Come out by yourself, don’t wait for me to go in and pick you up.”
Shao Chengyun stood in the crowd of onlookers, wearing a black coat, looking extraordinarily tall and fierce. The few people who were tearing at each other in the stadium stopped at once.
Xin Rong faced him, stunned for a few seconds, then walked to the bench and picked up his coat under Shao Chengyun’s gaze, without talking to anyone, Jiang Chengda asked him with a confused face when he passed by Jiang Chengda, “Brother What’s the situation? Are you leaving now?”
Xin Rong grabbed the coat in his hand, with a sullen face, and didn’t know what was going on in his heart.
Shao Chengyun had already walked around the iron gate and waited for him. As soon as Xin Rong came out, Shao Chengyun took the coat from his hand, and then the coat wrapped around Xin Rong’s head. Immediately after Shao Chengyun turned around and walked towards the direction of the parking lot, Xin Rong hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
The clothes covered his face, and Xin Rong stretched out his hand while walking, pulling the clothes to his shoulders. He hadn’t subsided from panting, and he hadn’t recovered. Shao Chengyun suddenly appeared on the sidelines of the court. To be honest, Xin Rong was a little confused.
It was a coincidence that Shao Chengyun came when he was beaten because of Tangtang. Why did he hide and play this time, even turned off his mobile phone, and then Shao Chengyun reappeared just as soon as he fought someone?
This idea passed for a while, but I didn’t think deeply about it.
After all, Xin Rong was a little guilty, he was the one who took the initiative to fight and was caught by Shao Chengyun, he felt that it would not be unreasonable for Shao Chengyun to get angry with him for this.
The car lights flickered, Shao Chengyun stood by the passenger door, looked at Xin Rong, and said coldly, “Get in the car.”
Xin Rong stepped forward, and Shao Chengyun opened the car door for him. Xin Rong was about to get into the car when the man put his hand on his shoulder and asked him, “Are you hurt?”
Xin Rong said, “No.”
Then Shao Chengyun let go of him, and when he sat down, he closed the car door for him , I went around the front of the car and got into the driver’s seat.
It was a long way to drive back to the front of the Banshan villa, and the two people in the car did not speak.
Shao Chengyun didn’t ask Xin Rong why he didn’t answer the phone and turned off the phone suddenly, and Xin Rong didn’t take the initiative to explain to him; Xin Rong didn’t mention the meeting of Chu Yu in Haoli this morning, and Shao Chengyun didn’t ask him what happened.
Both of them seemed to be waiting for the other to speak in their silence, or they were secretly thinking about it.
When the car reached the road up the mountain, Xin Rong suddenly asked Shao Chengyun, “How did you find me?”
This question was originally unintentional, but Xin Rong casually picked up a topic in order to break the deadlock.
But Shao Chengyun remained silent for a few seconds, Xin Rong turned his head to look at him, as if sensing something strange, he asked again, “How did you find me?” Shao Chengyun could actually find a reason, such as
him In short, as long as he behaves calmly and speaks a little vaguely without any logical loopholes in the set of arguments he was about to give to the driver, Xin Rong will not immediately become suspicious in his current state. But Shao Chengyun was indeed not able to tell a lie so freely.
Maybe because they’ve been living together for a while, some of it feels real, not just a paper agreement. Shao Chengyun hadn’t really dealt with Xin Rong, so he couldn’t pretend to be innocent and lie to him at this time.
And Xin Rong also deepened his understanding of Shao Chengyun while getting along, and a subtle expression on the other party’s face made Xin Rong suddenly guess that Shao Chengyun’s appearance at the side of the court at that time tonight might not be accidental.
Shao Chengyun said at this time, “Don’t turn off the phone again.”
——The tone was not as cold and hard as when he stopped Xin Rong from fighting just now, but he lowered his posture to coax others.
Xin Rong was stunned for a while, and an increasingly clear guess made his temples start to twitch. He turned his head to look at Shao Chengyun, and asked slowly, “You gave me that phone… installed location, right? Turning it off didn’t help.”
Xin Rong’s previous phone was broken when he was protecting Tangtang. He lived in the Banshan Villa, and it was Shao Chengyun who gave him a new one directly. Xin Rong never doubted it, so he took it and used it.
Shao Chengyun didn’t speak, the guard box in the villa area was in front of him, he thought about going into the garage and explaining this to Xin Rong.
He turned right with the lights on, drove outside the sentry box, lowered the window and swiped his card. The inspection of the community at night was stricter, and the security guard on duty even probed his head to see what was going on inside the car, and then saluted Shao Chengyun. Xin Rong sat aside and didn’t speak.
Shao Chengyun drove the car into the private garage, put it in gear, and turned off the engine.
Then he turned around and said to Xin Rong, “Xin Rong, it’s like this…” Xin Rong met his gaze, interrupted him, and said coldly
, “You really set me up.”
Shao Chengyun stretched out his hand to pull him, Xin Rong suddenly loosened his seat belt, pushed the door and got out of the car.
At this moment, Xin Rong was really angry. He was almost shaking with anger. People’s emotions have a limit. He didn’t really vent anything on the court just now, and the exhaustion of physical energy couldn’t take away the state of depression and incomprehension. And knowing that Shao Chengyun had installed a positioning software on his mobile phone, it was like stabbing another wound on his body that hadn’t healed yet, and made him feel that all the trust he had given him before had collapsed all at once.
Xin Rong got out of the car and walked out of the garage. Shao Chengyun chased him from behind, trying to pull him back to the garage.
Xin Rong was not as strong as Shao Chengyun, but he struggled hard. Shao Chengyun confiscated his strength for a while, and pulled back with too much force, throwing Xin Rong heavily against the wall.
The two fell silent for a moment. Shao Chengyun saw Xin Rong unconsciously shrunk the shoulder that had just been hit, he frowned and cursed secretly.
But Xin Rong was also completely enraged by this collision. Before Shao Chengyun reached him, he punched him on the side of the neck.
Since this location is close to the carotid artery, lifting it hard can be dangerous. Shao Chengyun had learned boxing for several years when he was studying abroad, so he dodged it instinctively, and Xin Rong immediately punched him in the chest again. This time, Shao Chengyun didn’t hide, he didn’t even tense up his muscles on purpose, and just took Xin Rong’s punch, which seemed to be intentional for Xin Rong to vent his anger.
