Chapter 56: Dusty Pride (4)
That night, Lin Yiyang and Meng Xiaodong stood side by side outside Yin Guo's house, and both felt that it was very mysterious to be here together.
Lin Yiyang handed him a cigarette. Meng Xiaodong didn't touch this for 800 years, but he was very happy today and took it.
Yin Guo locked the door, ran out, and hugged Lin Yiyang from behind.
Happy to fly, people are floating.
"Thank you, brother," she hadn't forgotten Meng Xiaodong, a benefactor, "specially called Tian Tian to come back."
"Every day, I have to thank him," Meng Xiaodong pointed at Lin Yiyang, "You can hold my brother, you are very capable." As soon as he told his brother, he came back to help Lin Yiyang take care of the family.
Meng Xiaotian didn't say a word, and without a minute's delay, he packed his luggage and ran back to brainwash his grandmother for a week.
Meng Xiaodong finished smoking and walked away.
Yin Guo watched Meng Xiaodong's car disappear, and then focused on Lin Yiyang: "My brother never smokes."
Lin Yiyang patted her head, too naive, little girl.
Of course your brother is wearing a mask to you.
"Take you to a place." He beckoned to her, and led Yin Guo around the fountain in the community, and walked towards the small gate from a path behind.
Yin Guo walked slowly, the night wind was blowing, watching him walk half a step ahead of himself, looking at his back, thinking, how did he get such a treasure?
He simply fulfilled all his assumptions about men.
Even more than ever imagined.
There is no one around.
Seeing her walking slowly, he looked back and thought she had a sprained foot.
"See what I'm doing?" She smiled at him in the moonlight and the light of the street lamps.
He reached out and took her arm.
She slid down, found her hand, and held it.
"You are really familiar with my community..."
"On your birthday, walk around," he said.
It was that night, the first time I went back to China to see her, for her birthday.
After the two met briefly in the hotel, he sent her back to the gate of the community and watched her enter the gate. Then he got off the car alone, walked around the outer wall, and entered through the northwest gate.
Lin Yiyang's previous home had no property rights, it was rented, and it belonged to a factory house. There are old buildings next to each other in the community. There is a small flower bed half a meter wide. No flowers are planted. Flower pots and the debris of the residents on the first floor are thrown on the dry soil.
On the other hand, the residential area of Yin Guo's family is very secluded and atmospheric. Half of the residential area is filled with towering trees and shrubs, and the roads between the buildings are very wide. He took a lap that night and told himself that this was where Yin Guo had lived since he was a child.
It was her parents who worked hard for most of their lives to create a living environment for her.
In the future, she can only be better with herself, not worse than this.
Yin Guo was unbuttoning his cuffs and helped him roll up the cuffs: "Have you been trying to untie them all night?"
Lin Yiyang smiled.
In fact, it's okay, tonight is too important to pay attention to these details.
The two walked out of the small gate, crossed the white stone bridge, and walked across the river.
Yin Guo thought he was reluctant to leave at first, so she wanted to shop around. When she was outside the motorcycle shop, the boss greeted her warmly. She wasn't in the state yet: "Have you bought a motorcycle?"
"More than buying," the boss smiled when he saw Yin Guo, "show you this."
Yin Guo followed Lin Yiyang to the counter in the store.
The boss took out a small white helmet, which was very delicate, and it was custom-made at first glance.
Yin Guo had never ridden a man's motorcycle in his life. He owned a helmet first. He picked it up and looked around. He was so happy. I put it on specially, ran to the mirror on the right side of the store, looked back and forth for a long time, and kept asking him if he looked good.
Lin Yi tilted his head and motioned for her to go out with him.
Yin Guo took off his helmet, held it in his arms and ran out, predicting that Lin Yiyang was going to take himself for a ride.
In the middle of the night, it was almost eleven o'clock, and there were no street lights and no pedestrians on this path.
All the shops in this row are lit in black, and only this shop has lights shining through and shining on the open space outside. Yin Guo saw the dark lights outside, and wanted to say, why don't you go for a drive tomorrow, it's too late today, it's dangerous to have no street lights.
I don't want to spoil Lin Yiyang's happiness.
He suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the tree next to the road in the distance.
Yin Guo followed and looked over, but there was nothing.
A taxi passed by, and the lights flashed, which further verified her judgmentthere was nothing.
Yin Guo was stunned, Lin Yiyang hooked a string of stainless steel pendants with his fingers, dangling in front of her. I was teasing her just now, but now it's time to give it away.
It was a bunch of red cherries, dangling in the palm of his hand, and under the light, each cherry was glowing with metallic luster.
And under the pendant is a key, a door key.
...
She recognized the key.
When the apartment was rented, Wu Wei took it back from the tenants who walked away and helped the landlord give it to her and her cousin. Later, Yin Guo moved out and left the key to Lin Yiyang directly.
The moment she saw the key, she was dazed for a few seconds, and a guess came up in her heart. He wouldn't buy this apartment on a whim, would he? No way?
"When to go and when to live." Lin Yiyang confirmed her guess.
"You really bought it??"
He didn't deny it: "I was in a hurry to buy it at the time, and the full amount was not enough, so I bought it with a loan. But by the end of this year, it will almost be paid off."
Of course there was still a word left.
When the loan is paid off, you can pass it on to her. It was meant to be given to her.
"No, no..." Yin Guo was almost incoherent, "You don't live there, isn't this a waste of money?"
Yin Guo looked at him and smiled, his hand was pulled up by him, and the key and the pendant were all in the palm of his hand.
What he didn't say was-
He had this arrangement from the time she pulled the suitcase downstairs from the New York apartment, reluctantly looked at the laundry room, and from the time she got into the taxi and was still looking at the photos of the laundry room. After graduation, I developed well, and the first money I saved was to buy an apartment in that building. It's best to be the one you used to live in, but if it doesn't work, you have to live in the same apartment building.
Yin Guo knew that this was definitely not bought today, or after returning to China.
She guessed that he had been saving money to do this since he played the first game. Sometimes she couldn't understand him, her thoughts jumped fast, and she was too open-minded, so that she often spoke and did things out of common sense. .
But when it comes to himself, he is a big fool, and there is no need to guess.
Yin Guo was holding the key and was still trying to accept the fact: "You...you can really make money. If you want to buy a house, you have to buy this place first. Who will buy one that doesn't live long."
Lin Yiyang smiled and put his hand on her waist: "Here?"
The dark eyes approached: "You mean the wedding room?"
...
"Who said they want to buy a wedding room?" He said the wedding room as soon as he arrived at the house, and the Great Leap Forward was not like that.
"Who buys if I don't buy it?" He laughed, "It seems inappropriate for you to buy?"
Yin Guo was pushed back by him sentence by sentence, and there was no room for him to retort, so he rushed out: "I'm not discussing marriage..." No, why the more and more crooked, "I didn't say that I wanted to get married. ."
"If you don't get married, why are you taking me home?"
...
The boss was wiping the motorcycle inside, listening to the two of them talking, just like listening to cross talk, and kept laughing there.
He and Lin Yiyang chatted a few times about motorcycles, and they hit it off right away, not knowing what this kid was doing. I just feel that being a free and easy person, making a lot of money, and looking like a rich second-generation prostitute, but he is very interested in his girlfriend. Especially tonight, seeing the true face of this little girlfriend, and the relationship between the two, it looks like a student couple, or at least they came together from school days.
Common sense says that when a boyfriend buys a house, the girl will be happy at most.
Everyone is an independent individual, and giving a key is also to share the love space. But Lin Yiyang is different. Yin Guo knows him. With his personality, it is easy for you to let him buy a car. Buying a house seems to have a special meaning, and it is of great significance. The key was "returned" to her, saving the first acquaintances of the two in the past, and giving it to her again.
So she went back to the underground garage of the community with him, beside his car, and when they said goodbye to him, the two were in the open driver's door, one in the car, the other out, and they just didn't want to separate.
She grabbed a few of his fingers, shook it, and said softly, "Congratulations, Captain Lin."
Lin Yiyang smiled, the index finger of the other hand pressed against his lips, and he gestured to her with his eyes, come here, be practical. Yin Guo glanced at no one around, took half a step forward, and was hugged by his waist all of a sudden.
Before she could take the initiative, he had already lowered his head and kissed her, first on his lips, then on her tongue. He kissed for a while and moved it to her forehead. The hot breath pressed against her forehead across the bangs.
After a long while, he said with a low smile, "I really want to take you back."
I don't want to let her go.
***
When she got out of the elevator, when she was taking out her house key, the WeChat prompt sounded suddenly.
Are you not driving? Why send WeChat.
She twisted the door lock, quietly pushed open the heavy reddish-brown safety door, and saw the words he sent by the door
Lin: Happy 30 days.
30 days?
When she saw this precise calculation of the date, she was dumbfounded.
First kiss first night? are too far away. Does he return home? That was over two months ago.
She suddenly thought of a most suitable time-
The day the two actually meet.
She only remembered that it was about a month, and she didn't take it so carefully. He's a big man... he still pays attention to this?
***
Lin Yiyang's car was parked on the small road outside the community garage for a while.
He opened the car window and looked at the empty road at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.
There are street lights, no pedestrians. There are shops, no lights.
That is to say, at this point in time, there is only one person and one car on this small road. He looked through the window glass and found that it was starting to rain, and a drop of raindrops hit the window glass.
Lin Yiyang watched the streaks of water running down the glass, and gradually the entire front windshield was washed away by the water. He turned on the wipers and wiped off the water.
Suddenly, what kind of day is this?
It seems that he has been waiting for this day for more than ten years since the night he left Dongxincheng.
***
The closed training camp for the Asian Games will last for 70 days.
This is also the first time Yin Guo has been training with players from various sports in the billiards field. In other words, this is also the first time she and Lin Yiyang have had the opportunity to train together.
Yin Guo came with several senior sisters from Beicheng.
Although there are only 2 places for each event, the national team players of each event will participate in the training camp, and everyone will train together. After all, there are not many opportunities for the strongest players in the service to gather together, and it is also an opportunity to cultivate new talents.
Yin Guo changed into training clothes in the female players' dormitory, and tied her long hair in front of the mirror. She wanted to send a message to Lin Yiyang and ask him what he was doing, but when he thought about it, he would see him right away, so it's better to leave a little surprise.
Seeing him at the national team training camp was something she never thought of in the past.
There were many players, and everyone gathered in the small auditorium of the training camp. Except for the coaches in the first row, the players sat scattered. Familiar people chatted together, and unfamiliar newcomers also smiled shyly.
As soon as Yin Guo entered the door, he was dragged by his senior sister to the pile in Beicheng. Meng Xiaodong and Li Qingyan were in the front row, and several boys and girls were in the back. Dongxincheng is on the other side, and the center is for newcomers and solo players from all over the world.
It's not that I deliberately sit in the club, just because one place is more familiar and easy to chat.
...
Suddenly, someone gave a high five, signaling to be quiet, the head coach was here.
A man in his fifties, the coach in charge of the snooker project in the past, Yin Guo had never seen before. And beside him, Lin Yiyang, who was wearing the national team sports uniform, came in together, walking a full head above the head coach.
The head coach walked to the court, looked at the crowd with a smile, and said with a smile, "There are many new faces, or, for many people, I am also a new face."
Everyone laughed.
"This is, after many years, our billiards event once again entered the first meeting of the Asian Games. I also participated in the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. I am very happy to see players from all billiards events gathered together again for training together."
Meng Xiaodong was very familiar with this coach, and took the lead in applauding, bringing the applause of the audience.
"Simply, I'm the head coach of this national billiards team, Zhou Bin." The head coach smiled and gestured to Lin Yiyang, asking the star player to introduce himself.
Lin Yiyang raised his eyes and looked at all the coaches in the first row of the small auditorium, as well as all the players in the next row, his dark pupils reflected everyone present: "Hello everyone, I am this session of the national billiards team. The captain, Lin Yiyang."
No superfluous words, no complicated self-introductions.
His registration included all five men's events, and his resume is familiar to everyone present, so there is no need to repeat it.
In his eyes, she seemed to see the strongest opponent who had been described, recalled, regretted and lost by Meng Xiaodong and Lin Yiyang's brothers repeatedly.
At this moment, Yin Guo suddenly had a real feeling that Lin Yiyang, who used to be on the field, finally came back completely.
