After everyone chatted for a while, they prepared to leave, agreeing to see them again another day.
Song Yihong also took the initiative to invite Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan to go hiking with him after they recovered. However, Chen Feng ridiculed them as drunkards who didn't care about drinking. Song Yihong pretended not to hear.
After everyone left, Zhao Shiyan also walked out step by step with the help of Lin Fengyang. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Zhiyu walking over and said to Lin Fengyang:
"Come on, I have a few words to say to her."
Lin Fengyang nodded, obediently let go of Zhao Shiyan's arm, turned around and left.
Zhao Shiyan wanted to refuse, but hesitated for a moment and was no longer willful.
"How's it going? Don't worry."
"Um."
"Are you really...just friends with him? It should be more than that. You have nothing to be embarrassed to say, and I don't object to your falling in love. Besides, you have a good vision, and Ling Zhi, this young man, is quite down-to-earth."
Zhao Shiyan did not respond to his father's words. He walked forward step by step with his father's support, his eyes a little out of focus.
Zhao Zhiyu looked at her, sighed, and said:
"Are you still worried about that matter? As long as you protect it and it doesn't affect your interactions with others, it's time to let it go."
Zhao Shiyan looked ahead and responded calmly:
"Dad, as a human being, you must be content and contented, so that you can always be happy. Isn't this what you often tell me?"
Zhao Zhiyu smiled slightly and explained:
"I said so, so you are already contented now?"
"Um."
"Okay, what about him? If he confesses to you one day, what are you going to do?"
"I……"
Zhao Zhiyu saw that she was hesitant to speak and did not ask any more questions, so he comforted her and said:
"Forget it, take your time, you have only known each other for a month, there is no need to be in such a hurry."
Zhao Shiyan seemed to have regained some of his energy, and then said angrily:
"That's right, I was quite happy today. You have to pick up and pick up the pot. Go back as soon as possible. I can take care of myself."
After that, he struggled with his arm symbolically.
Zhao Zhiyu said helplessly:
"You really don't need me to take care of you?"
"Need not!"
Zhao Shiyan said firmly.
"Well, I have something to do anyway, so I'll go back to Pengcheng first. It's good to have your friend here to take care of you. When she recovers from her illness, she can also take her to Pengcheng to play."
"Oh, I got it!"
After Zhao Zhiyu sent Zhao Shiyan back to her room, he prepared to leave.
"dad."
When Zhao Zhiyu was about to walk out the door, Zhao Shiyan stopped him and said to him:
"Dad, thank you, thank you for coming to see me. I...I am very happy."
Zhao Zhiyu smiled faintly, stretched out his arm, gave Zhao Shiyan a handsome gesture of OK, then turned and left.
…
One day later, Ling Zhi got his mobile phone and called his mother back to report that he was safe.
However, since the matter was resolved quickly, my mother didn't seem to know what happened to Ling Zhi. Instead, she asked him if the boy named "Ling" in the news was him.
Ling Zhi felt that since his mother didn't know, there was no need to cause trouble for her, so he prevaricated and said no, and left with a haha.
In the next week, Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan were undergoing rehabilitation treatment. With Lin Fengyang's help, they spent some time every day pacing back and forth in the hospital's rehabilitation room to reduce the sensitivity of their skin and nerves.
Although Lin Fengyang said that Zhao Shiyan would have to be under observation for at least half a month before being discharged from the hospital, Zhao Shiyan's recovery speed far exceeded the doctor's expectations.
"Hey, Lexus, hurry up, hurry up, we're almost there, come on!"
Zhao Shiyan was seen standing at the front of the parallel bars, cheering for Ling Zhi.
Ling Zhi held the parallel bars, walked in the middle, and said to her helplessly:
"Oh, your recovery speed is too monstrous, isn't it? It's only been a week and you're already alive and kicking?"
"Hehe! That's why you don't usually exercise enough. After you get better this time, I will take you out for a run every day. You can't be lazy."
"I know! I know!"
I really can't stand her. However, I also planned to exercise, so it would be great to find someone to go with.
When Ling Zhi reached the end of the parallel bars, Zhao Shiyan naturally grabbed Ling Zhi's left arm and said with a smile:
"Okay, I've walked a lot today, I'll take you back to rest."
Ling Zhi didn't show any pretense and let her support him. Such actions have become commonplace in the past few days. After all, Lin Fengyang can't be with the two of them all the time.
But it's strange to say that when Lin Fengyang was supporting himself, there would be a sudden tingling sensation where the hand and arm came into contact. However, when Zhao Shiyan was supporting himself, there was no such feeling at all. He... quite liked this.
Felt.
The two returned to the door of Ling Zhi's ward, and Ling Zhi heard voices inside.
When he opened the door, he saw Li Mengyao, Chen Lizhong, Wang Siheng, coach Xingchen and Uncle Li sitting in the room talking. After seeing the two people come back, Li Mengyao and the five of them stood up in unison.
"Uncle Li, why are you here?"
Lexus said in surprise.
Uncle Li smiled and said:
"I've wanted to come and see you for a long time. As soon as I finished my work recently, I brought them here with me. After all, this incident has something to do with us."
"Oh, you're serious. I'm glad you can come."
Then, Ling Zhi greeted several people present one by one. After several people sat down again, Chen Lizhong said:
"Actually, I am also responsible for this incident. I had noticed something was wrong with Bai Ming before, but I didn't delve into it. As a result, you didn't come to the finals that night, so I realized that you might be in trouble."
"Although your absence may not necessarily have something to do with Bai Ming, you defeated him by a large margin in the 8-to-4 game. I was afraid that he would have a grudge against you, so I went to your place to have a look to see if I could find Bai Ming.
, ask him if he knows your situation."
"I heard that he had been playing at your one-shot billiards recently, so I went over there, but by that time, the area had been cordoned off by the police, and I realized the seriousness of the matter."
Speaking of this, Uncle Li continued:
"So, this incident cannot be said to have nothing to do with us. I have always had a glimmer of hope for Bai Ming, hoping that he would get better, and even gave him a chance to participate in the competition. But this incident shows that I was wrong
.”
Lexus quickly responded:
"That's not the case, Uncle Li! I blame myself for this incident. If I hadn't been smarter, I wouldn't have been deceived by Bai Ming into a 'one shot of billiards' and put myself in a passive situation."
Xingchen next to him advised:
"Okay, coach, and Lingzhi, stop talking. This time the matter is over, let's not go back and forth to review ourselves, right, haha!"
"That's right. The reason why we came here today is to discuss the issue of bonus distribution with Lexus."
Wang Siheng said.
Prize money? Oh, it refers to the prize money from the first Chinese billiards competition of Xingyu Billiards, right? Lingzhi quickly waved his hand and said:
"I didn't participate in the finals. In this way, Li Zhong will be the champion and I will be considered the runner-up. Isn't that okay?"
Then, Ling Zhi smiled bitterly and said:
"Actually, if we were to fight, I would definitely not be Zhongzhong's opponent."
Chen Lizhong shook his head:
"That's not possible. I haven't competed, so I can't say that I will definitely win."
"Oh? Are you so unsure of yourself?"
"It has nothing to do with whether you have confidence or not. The competition must be conducted fairly and justly. Although uncle and Xingchen have the same intention as you, I feel that this incident was purely an accident and cannot be counted as your absence, so I suggest
The game is postponed.”
Xingchen nodded and said:
"That's it, so we want to hear what you mean."
Lexus quickly responded:
"Just follow the rules. I am the runner-up and Li Zhong is the champion. There is no need to postpone it. Besides, I also want to ask Li Zhong for advice on how to play. After all, I come from a wild background. Besides..."
Ling Zhi hesitated for a moment, then plucked up the courage and said:
"Uncle Li, Coach Liu, I...can I learn football from you? Of course, learning football will be according to your rules, and you can pay as much as you want."
Next to him, Zhao Shiyan also rushed to say:
"There's still me and there's me, coach, can you take me with you?"
Xingchen and Li Guohua looked at each other and smiled. After turning their heads, Uncle Li said to them:
"Of course you are welcome to learn ball. However, with your talent, hitting eight is a bit of a waste. After all, Chinese eight-ball is too simple, but English billiards can highlight your competitiveness."
"In my early years, I mainly played Chinese-style professional competitions. If I teach Chinese-style, it's okay. But teaching English-style, I'm not as good as Xingchen."
"Where, what are you talking about?"
Xingchen quickly denied it.
Uncle Li continued:
"So if you want to learn football, you can come to Xingyu often to see Xingchen. He should be happy to teach you."
Xingchen scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"Hey, there's nothing to teach or not. As long as you come here from now on, I'll be by my side to show you a few moves when I have time. Your basic skills are pretty good. With a little practice, you might be able to reach a junior professional level."
Lexus sincerely thanked:
"Thank you, Uncle Li, and Coach Liu."
Uncle Li waved his hand and continued:
"Also, actually, the main reason we came here today is to talk to you about your game in that world."
"The police asked me to find out about the game. I was really surprised. I didn't expect Bai Ming to design such a game."
Uncle Li calmed down and continued:
"Because, those three games were designed for him when I first started playing with him."
Ling Zhi suddenly asked in surprise:
"How...how could this happen? Uncle Li, I don't quite understand, how could you design such a difficult game for a novice? Especially the third game, how could he possibly be able to solve it?"
Next to him, Xingchen joked:
"Who said it can't be untied? Didn't you just untie it?"
"That's different. I...Shi Yan and I were able to figure it out because we exploited a loophole in the system. And if Bai Ming's opponent is you, how can he have any hope of winning?"
"You misunderstood me."
Uncle Li slowly explained:
"The reason I set up that game was not to let him beat me, but to see if he could remain calm in this situation."
Xingchen also nodded beside him and said:
"That's true. Coach Li and I both recruit students in the same way. We all look at their mentality when playing. You have all seen the last game between me and Li Mengyao, so you should all understand this."
As she spoke, Li Mengyao lowered her head in embarrassment. She was able to persist until the end that time because she relied on the support of Ling and Zhao. She didn't think she could finish the set on her own.
Uncle Li continued:
"If you subconsciously give up as soon as you encounter a difficult situation, then I will think that this person is not suitable for playing professional games. After all, you will encounter various situations in the professional game. You can't just play with the wind and not
Play against the wind."
Several young people around him nodded in agreement.
Ling Zhi asked curiously:
"Uncle Li, I want to know how Bai Ming treated the game you designed?"
