Chapter 17
There are many similarities between squash and tennis in terms of playing methods, but the difference is not small when actually playing, but for a former near-professional player like Li Shuo, playing squash with tennis skills , like playing the electronic keyboard after playing the piano, so he is confident in himself.
Li Shuo threw the ball to Zhao Jinxin: "Come and serve."
Zhao Jinxin caught the ball, threw it twice in his hand, and pushed it out with the racket. The ball hit the teeing area accurately, and then bounced back quickly.
With just this kick-off, Li Shuo determined that Zhao Jinxin's technique is very ordinary, the angle of the kick-off is quite satisfactory, and it is easy for him to receive, unless Zhao Jinxin has reservations, but the first ball is usually used for psychological purposes. Shocked the opponent, so this is probably Zhao Jinxin's strength.
Li Shuo stepped forward and hit the ball back. After a touchdown, the ball hit the area close to the wall on his side. Zhao Jinxin's reaction speed was very fast, and he reached the best hitting position in a few steps. , but this ball Li Shuo played very cloudy, the ball was too close to the side wall, and naturally it was not far from the wall when it rebounded, making it almost difficult for Zhao Jinxin to stretch the racket, and the position was still on the right side. Zhao Jinxin is left-handed, although he received Stopped the ball, but the ball flew out and hit the side wall and fell to the ground again.
Zhao Jinxin glanced at Li Shuo with bulging cheeks.
Li Shuo smiled proudly.
In the next time, Li Shuo basically completely abused Zhao Jinxin. Zhao Jinxin's speed, reflexes and strength surprised Li Shuo, but after all, playing ball is not tug-of-war, it is about technique. After playing two balls, Li Shuo stopped playing tricky and angled balls, but Zhao Jinxin also did not. Didn't catch up with the score, and at the end, Li Shuo felt that he was bullying others.
At the end of the game, Zhao Jinxin suffered a disastrous defeat. He threw the racket to the ground and sat on the ground with his back to Li Shuo to rest.
Li Shuo hit a ball, played with himself, and said, "Are you convinced that you lose?"
Zhao Jinxin didn't speak.
Li Shuo glanced at Zhao Jinxin and thought, he won't be angry, he smiled and said, "What's wrong? I'm tired, I'm willing to accept the bet. If you want to play another game, I'll change hands and play with you?"
Zhao Jinxin muttered: "Stop fighting." He jumped up from the ground and walked to the door.
Li Shuo was a little surprised. Zhao Jinxin is usually not such a small-bellied person. He gets angry after losing a game? Even if the bet is...that, it's a big deal.
Li Shuo put down his racket and chased after him: "Jin Xin." He chased outside the squash court, pressed Zhao Jinxin's shoulder, and pulled his body over, "You won't..."
Li Shuo was stunned.
Zhao Jinxin's eyes were red and his lips were flat, as if he was about to cry.
Li Shuo was dumbfounded: "You...you are..." He couldn't help laughing, "Baby, why are you crying when you lose a ball?" He rubbed Zhao Jinxin's hair and said dotingly, "Uncle Li. Not good, okay? But what's there to cry about." Was he really being too bullying? Do young people today have such strong self-esteem?
Zhao Jinxin's lips trembled and whispered, "Have you been playing with me?"
Li Shuo was stunned, his smile disappeared immediately, Zhao Jinxin's expression was too serious, it didn't seem like he was cheating because of the loss, he said sternly: "Why do you think so?"
Zhao Jinxin let out a breath slowly and choked: "You see me chasing you all day long and trying to please you, don't you think it's funny? I like the way you can't get it, isn't it special? Stupid? You give me some hope and smash it every time, aren't you kidding me?"
Li Shuo hugged Zhao Jinxin and said regretfully: "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect you to think so, I swear I never played with you, but I didn't think about your mood, I'm sorry [Master FZ+FE] girl , she brought her own plug-in! . ”
Zhao Jinxin's red eyes made Li Shuo feel distressed.
He quickly went through everything that happened between the two of them in his mind. It seemed like what Zhao Jinxin said, one chased and the other was not in a hurry. Zhao Jinxin's definition in his eyes has always been "playing" I can afford it." When he just ended a relationship and was in a difficult mood, he was happy to see such a "partner" and enjoyed this relationship without responsibility and commitment, but he was more and more unable to avoid Zhao Jinxinzhen The possibility of liking him, if that is the case, then his approach is too much.
Whether he likes Zhao Jinxin or not, whether he wants to have a formal relationship with this person or not, he shouldn't play with people like this, just because he thinks Zhao Jinxin is open and able to play, doesn't mean he can do it .
Li Shuo really regretted and blamed himself. He broke the heart of someone who liked him. What happened to him during this time...
Zhao Jinxin sniffed: "Do you like me a little?"
Li Shuo took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Yes." Of course he likes Zhao Jinxin, but he is not in a state of serious relationship now, and Zhao Jinxin's background, age, and personality make him have a lot of concerns, but he You know, he likes this big boy.
Zhao Jinxin hugged Li Shuo hard and whispered, "That's good." After that, he released his hand and pushed Li Shuo away gently, "I'll go back first."
Li Shuo wanted to stay, but opened his mouth but made no sound. He leaned his forehead against the glass wall of the squash room and slowly closed his eyes. He was very upset. It would be better to separate at this time. He needed to be independent and calm. Think about it, think about the relationship between the two.
When he got home, Li Shuo sorted out the negotiation results and sent them to Xiang Ning, then stared at the phone in a daze.
Would you like to give Zhao Jinxin a call? But what to say? He should have sent Zhao Jinxin home just now, but it was embarrassing on the way.
Li Shuo sighed, thinking about Zhao Jinxin's red eye circles, and still felt uncomfortable in his heart. He is a person with a strong sense of morality. The principle of being a human being is not to do anything wrong. If he does something wrong and hurts people, he will always be bitter. Zhao Jinxin's "accusation" was not severe, but made him blame himself.
Maybe it's time to let go of the past and start over. He knows that Li Chengxiu has never liked him, and now he has proposed to break up, and Zhao Jinxin has appeared beside him. If he keeps thinking about Li Chengxiu, it is not fair to Zhao Jinxin. He can't force other people's feelings, and he can't keep entangled in the past , he should cherish the person in front of him.
He is concerned. Zhao Jinxin is 11 years younger than him. He is a playful and upright age, and his personality is very open. He doesn't seem to be a single-minded person. Moreover, the parents of the two are still friends. Which one is enough to make people dread. But he Li Shuo is not a person who will compromise with the worldly rules. Zhao Jinxin is young, but he is not small. Zhao Jinxin likes to play, and he is confident that he can hold it. As for the parents, the relationship itself is not wrong. If he did something wrong, he had no reason to be afraid. Before the beginning of a relationship, he never thinks about whether the two are suitable or not, and how many obstacles there are in reality. It is a matter of human beings. The quantitative conditions can only be character and love.
As for whether or not to break up in the future, why should he think about it now? What's the point? He doesn't even know when he will die [Red Mansion] My wife Daiyu.
When he wants to be in love with someone, it is only in love.
The more Li Shuo thought about it, the more open his mind became, and his mood became more open-minded. It's time to let go of the past, face Zhao Jinxin, and face this relationship.
At this time, he heard someone calling him downstairs, he opened the door, and heard a fucking voice: "Mom, you're back."
"Come down quickly." Mrs. Li's voice was a little excited.
Li Shuo went downstairs, and Mrs. Li said happily, "Little Shuo, Master will do the math for you. It's pretty accurate. I didn't tell him a lot of things, he knows all about it."
Li Shuo almost forgot about this, and sneered: "Okay, what did he say?"
"He said that you are the fate of the rich and noble."
"Oh." Li Shuo looked at the jade on his mother's neck and the bag on his arm. As long as he wasn't blind, he should be able to see it.
"I'll focus on marriage." Mrs. Li took out a piece of paper from her bag, "I wrote it down. The master said, you will find someone born in the year of the sheep. The relationship between the two of you is a bit ups and downs, but in the end, you will be with He Meimei. Yes. If you belong to the sheep, you are one year older than you."
"It may also be 11 years younger than him." Mr. Li interjected, "He's not too young, let's find someone younger."
"You men like young people, don't you?" Madam Li said angrily.
Mr. Li smiled: "Isn't this about my son?"
"I think it's better to be of similar age and have a common language." Mrs. Li smiled, "But the most important thing is to see you."
Li Shuo blinked: "11 years old?"
"Yeah, either a year older or 11 years younger."
"Uh... this kind of thing, let's just let it take its course." 11 years old... It's really Zhao Jinxin who doesn't know what to say. After thinking of this idea, Li Shuo immediately laughed at himself in his heart, and became superstitious.
"That's right, when you fall in love, you have to go with the flow, but you have to pay attention to yourself. If you encounter this zodiac sign, pay more attention."
Li Shuo gave a perfunctory "um", and his mind had already started to think wildly.
Is there really something destined in the dark?
Li Shuo laughed at himself again, but he couldn't get rid of the saying "belonging to sheep" in his heart.
Until the next day, Zhao Jinxin did not contact Li Shuo.
Li Shuo waited for a day and began to feel a little anxious. Since the two met, Zhao Jinxin's various information has not been interrupted. It is normal to make three harassing calls and send more than ten text messages a day. His Uncle Li, acting like a spoiled brat with him, has not been in contact with him for more than 24 hours now. He really feels that he is not used to it. The person who has been around him all day suddenly doesn't appear, and his heart is empty.
It seems that what happened that day really hurt Zhao Jinxin.
Li Shuo felt self-blame and uncomfortable. He thought about it and didn't call Zhao Jinxin, but grabbed the key and went out.It is more sincere to apologize in person.
