If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ling Zhi would never have believed that this yellow pot could deflect so much at such a fast speed!
You can't just think about it and make it shift to the left, it will really shift!
Could it be that I have awakened my mind ability?
No! Impossible! This is too outrageous! Rather than talking about telekinesis, it is more reasonable to suspect that there is ice on the ice track that affects the direction of the curling stone.
"Holy shit! This...how is this possible?!"
Gao Xiangyu roared loudly.
Why are there such outrageous lines?!
Gao Xiangyu couldn't help but step forward to check the ice path, but even though he observed very carefully, he could not see any traces of ice ballast on the ice path.
"Okay, maybe it was knocked aside. Don't look for it. Ice is also a part of the curling game. Instead of spending time looking for ice, it's better to think about what to do with the last shot."
Hearing this, Gao Xiangyu could only sigh and gave up searching.
"yeah!"
Ling Zhi skated to the end of the base camp and exchanged palms with Zhao Shiyan for a small celebration.
"Lingzhi, you are really great! You actually hit such a difficult shot."
"Oh, don't brag about me, it's just luck, luck."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Ling Zhi was still a little restrained, but Zhao Shiyan's laughter already resounded throughout the venue.
After this throw, the two red kettles were thrown out of the base camp, and the yellow kettle just thrown remained in the base camp. Together with the 2 yellow kettles that had been left in the base camp before, Lingzhi had a total of 3 yellow kettles to score.
!
And Red Pot only had a placeholder pot left standing alone outside the base camp.
Gao Xiangyu's face turned pale as he listened to Zhao Shiyan's hearty laughter. As expected, he decided not to be conservative anymore with his last shot and threw directly towards the placeholder pot, hoping to knock the yellow pot near the center out of the base camp by passing the ball!
Although his shot was straight, the red pot still deviated slightly from the center line after traveling a long distance.
A slight difference can make a huge difference. Without hitting the placeholder pot, the placeholder pot naturally did not slide straight down, but passed diagonally past the yellow pot near the center point and slipped out of the base camp.
Since he didn't hit any pots, Gao Xiangyu's defeat in this game was determined. In the last shot, Lingzhi only needed to throw the yellow pot into the base camp to get 4 points!
Gao Xiangyu paid the price for his impulsiveness! He muttered a curse word and prepared to walk away without looking back.
"Xiangyu! The competition isn't over yet."
Cai Fen reminded him.
"I give up! Let's go, let's go!"
Gao Xiangyu said without looking back.
"Wait! You haven't apologized yet!"
Zhao Shiyan chased after him and shouted to Gao Xiangyu.
Just kidding! You can leave if you want, as long as you apologize!
Gao Xiangyu turned his head, glanced at Zhao Shiyan coldly, and then said to Ling Zhi:
"Boy, you are so good, but I made a mistake this time."
"If you have a chance in the future, how about playing ice hockey with me? Let me teach you a lesson then!"
Although Gao Xiangyu finally admitted his cowardice, his words were full of ridicule.
Ling Zhi didn't care and responded with a smile:
"Okay! No problem! From now on, big brother can also come to this curling hall often, and then let Shi Yan teach big brother well, haha..."
"snort!"
Gao Xiangyu didn't waste any more nonsense, returned to the lounge, changed his shoes, and immediately left the curling hall.
"Sorry, I made you two laugh."
Cai Fen said to Zhao Shiyan and Ling Zhi.
"It's okay, it's okay, we don't care. It's just that if you don't catch up, it doesn't matter, right?"
Zhao Shiyan pointed to the direction Gao Xiangyu left and said.
"It doesn't matter, just let him calm down for a while. But Shi Yan, I have something to say to you. Can you come over here?"
"Ah? Of course."
After Zhao Shiyan said hello to Ling Zhi, he followed Cai Fen into the rest room.
"You two played well today. I can see that the young man named Ling Zhi is a beginner, but he is already very good at playing to this level in his first game."
"Hehe, of course, Ling Zhi is really talented at this. Oh, no, it's better to say that no matter what he does, he works very hard."
The girl put her hands behind her back and said to Cai Fen with a smile, as if praising Lingzhi was praising herself.
"Well, it's true, but I'm not surprised by the result of this competition, because from the first round, Gao Xiangyu didn't seize the opportunity. You should know what I mean."
Zhao Shiyan nodded thoughtfully.
Looking back on the first round, Ling Zhi's first shot was a bit heavy. Unfortunately, Gao Xiangyu did not seize the opportunity to stick the yellow pot, but chose to throw it away and missed this opportunity.
After linking up with other details, Zhao Shiyan suddenly felt that Cai Fen's role in this competition seemed to be approximately zero.
Is Director Cai deliberately letting things slip? It’s not like that. Director Cai doesn’t seem to be such a casual person.
Zhao Shiyan was confused for a moment.
Seeing that Zhao Shi was silent, Cai Fen did not continue on this topic, but changed the topic:
"Shi Yan, I have never asked you, your dad... does he know you are here?"
Zhao Shiyan came back to his senses and said:
"He knows. What's wrong? Director Cai."
"It's okay. Since he knows you are here, he should also agree with you to continue developing on the road of curling. I don't know what your father thinks. I feel like he has never told you this.
It’s like something…”
"Director Cai."
Zhao Shiyan quickly explained.
"He said it all. It's just... I just don't want to go. The way I am now... is pretty good."
After speaking, Zhao Shiyan lowered his head and fell into silence.
Cai Fen smiled and comforted her:
"It's okay. I'm just asking casually. Don't worry about it. If you change your mind in the future, you can come to me at any time. Although you have a relationship with your father, I can still help you to some extent."
"Well, thank you."
"But I asked you to come because there is another matter. Although, it may be that I am meddling in my own business."
Cai Fen paused, and under Zhao Shiyan's curious eyes, said slowly:
"I don't know what your relationship is with Ling Zhi, but I can see that he should at least be a very important person to you."
Zhao Shiyan nodded silently and didn't answer. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"Since this is the case, then you should not be too willful when getting along with him in the future, otherwise..."
Having said this, Zhao Shiyan's expression changed, he hurriedly interrupted Cai Fen, and asked tremblingly:
"Cai...Director Cai, do you think...I'm a little willful?"
Cai Fen was startled, then smiled and touched her head and said:
"Oh, don't be nervous. I'm not saying you are willful. I'm just giving you a vaccination."
"Just seeing the way you two were fighting just now reminds me of what happened when I was a child."
"Actually, no matter who you are, you may not be able to control your sense of boundaries well when getting along with others, and even I am no exception."
"Remember that time..."
Cai Fen paused for a moment, seemingly lost in memories, but she immediately changed the topic and said:
"Forget it, there's nothing to say about my affairs. They're all old accounts."
"Ling Zhi is a pretty good young man. He is polite and calm. These are the most valuable qualities for a boy of his age."
"Cherish him well. When you are with him, try to control your sense of boundaries. Don't make excessive demands just because you have a good relationship with him, otherwise you will miss him..."
Speaking of this, Cai Fen seemed to feel something was wrong and quickly added:
"Forget it, let's stop talking. I was too lenient. I apologize to you."
"No, no, I'm very happy that you can say this to me. It's just... I still want to confirm that I... really didn't behave too willfully today."
Zhao Shiyan said cautiously. If Ling Zhi were here, he would definitely notice that Zhao Shiyan at this moment is completely different from her usual self.
Cai Fen smiled and comforted her a few times. After reminding her again not to take it too seriously, she walked out of the rest room.
However, looking at Zhao Shiyan's look, it seemed that he was a little worried.
She will not follow in her own footsteps.
…
Zhao Shiyan sat in the rest room for a while, feeling ups and downs in his heart.
She actually doesn't expect too much, she just wants to maintain the status quo. However, she still seems to reveal her little greed inadvertently.
Including bringing Ling Zhi here today can explain a lot of problems. She is eager for him to enter her life, eager to be more with him...
No, no, no! This is not my original intention. Since even Director Cai has noticed his little greed, he must take action!
Thinking of this, Zhao Shiyan couldn't help but make a decision in his heart.
She shook her head, patted her cheek, temporarily suppressed her thoughts, stood up, and walked to the field outside.
While Cai Fen and Zhao Shiyan were whispering, Ling Zhi had almost tidied up the curling hall. At this time, he was mopping the floor and doing the final finishing work.
When Zhao Shiyan saw that Ling Zhi had handled most of the work for her so diligently, he felt happy and said reflexively: "Nephew..."
Halfway through her words, she immediately realized something was wrong, so she stopped and changed her tone and shouted:
"Lingzhi, thank you, you don't have to go to such trouble, this is all my job."
Ling Zhi raised his head and said nonchalantly:
"What's the point? It's just idle time. Just think of it as exercising."
"whee."
Zhao Shiyan hurried up to help Ling Zhi finish the finishing work.
This curling hall is only open during the day, mainly because there are too few people. Otherwise, it would not be closed during this popular time at night.
After cleaning up, the two returned to the rest room. Just as Ling Zhi was about to change his shoes, Zhao Shiyan suddenly interrupted:
"Lingzhi, I...I have something to tell you."
"Huh? Come on, why are you hesitating? It doesn't look like you at all, haha."
Ling Zhi joked with a smile.
Zhao Shiyan hesitated for a while, then seemed to finally make up his mind, and then he mustered up the courage to say:
"Lingzhi, um, you helped me a lot today. You also helped me drive away that annoying guy. You helped me...helped me keep my working hours. I don't even know how to thank you."
"What are you talking about? Why are you so outspoken? Why are you so polite between us? Besides, I don't think what I am doing is helping. What I am doing is venting my personal anger and making myself angry. I also have to thank you for your help.
I'm here to make some plans."
Zhao Shiyan shook his head and continued to speak cautiously:
"No matter what, I want to thank you."
"Then...how about I introduce you to a girlfriend?"
Huh? Did you hear that right? What about introducing a girlfriend?
Ling Zhi was confused for a moment.
But soon, he understood Zhao Shiyan's "real intention." After being in the same dormitory with Chen Feng for so long, he was at least out of the realm of emotional idiots.
In addition, I have finished my thesis, so it’s time to put my confession plan on the agenda. Isn’t this the best opportunity at this moment?
Thinking of this, Ling Zhi slowly walked up to Zhao Shiyan, patted her shoulders and said with a smile:
"What kind of introduction? If you insist on introducing...
"That person can only be you."
It's not bad, I should convey my thoughts to her.
Ling Zhi looked calm on the surface, but inside he was staring nervously at Zhao Shiyan's pretty face.
However, the next moment, Zhao Shiyan's reply was beyond his expectation. She lowered her head and said softly:
"I'm sorry, Lexus, I'm not qualified to be your girlfriend."
