Chapter One: Life (10)

"I just remembered that I forgot to bring my homework, so I need to go back and get it. Moreover, just because you called me, do I have to listen?" The girl rolled her eyes dramatically.

What makes Yuhao such an easy-going girl is that she mostly ignores boys. One must have sufficient patience to get close to her. However, Xiaobawang does not possess that patience; after pursuing her for two days without any response, he probably lost all hope.

Lu Huaizheng whispered something in the ear of the Little Overlord, who then stood up angrily and ran away

Then why didn't you ask me if I had time before you made the promise? He raised his eyebrows

Li Hongwen frowned and said, "No! Minister Li's dinner cannot be postponed. If you do not accompany me to the dinner, your leave will be canceled, and you can forget about seeing Yu Hao."

Lu Huaizheng leaned against the blue frame, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on the man and woman across from him

After finishing his cigarette, he straightened up and said, "He is just looking for something new; he knows very well the relationship between Yu Hao and me"

"What is it? Who has he set his sights on this time?" Lu Huaizheng leisurely leaned against the wall, smoking a cigarette

Unexpectedly, Yu Hao lowered his head to do his homework, quickly finishing several exercises with a shaky pen. After listening to those words for a moment, he suddenly reached out and rubbed his fluffy hair.

Yuhao was taken aback and asked, "What does it mean?"

The result of retrieving the Little Overlord truly demonstrates perseverance, having pursued Yu Hao for a full six months, employing various tactics. Sometimes, while Lu Huaizheng was playing on the court, he could see the Little Overlord buzzing around Yu Hao like a fly, circling around him repeatedly

The second message was sent ten minutes ago

Someone leaned back comfortably, resting their elbows on the ground, their gaze slightly lifted, smiling at her, "Topics among men."

I apologize, but the leave scheduled for Saturday has been canceled unexpectedly

Yu Hao gazed at him with her bright, watery eyes and asked, "Did you like those things when you were a child?"

There is nothing more to say, it is all in the past " said Lu Huaizheng

Good.

Later, while the two were smoking on the rooftop, Lu Huaizheng glanced at her sideways and casually remarked, "You must have taken quite a few beatings when you were young, right?"

The team members were all well aware, shrugged their shoulders, and continued to play without paying him any mind

Both individuals looked over at the same time. The young man, dressed in a shirt, leaned against the basketball hoop. When Lu Huaizheng saw Yu Hao turn her head, a slight smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he immediately understood that this girl had intentionally brought him here.

The young man smiled again, brighter than the sunlight behind him, particularly unabashed: "Yu Hao, do you like me?"

She wants

To know

There is a message that needs to be confirmed said Lu Huaizheng

On a good day after work, I received two text messages in succession

Hey, who is that?" in a super lazy tone, "Take your hand away.

Lu Huaizheng, however, said without changing his expression or showing any sign of agitation: "I bought some funds, and they should be credited today. Let's see if the money has arrived."

Lu Huaizheng received a text message from Yu Hao on Thursday afternoon

After a moment of silence, he changed his posture, looking down from a height, as if observing a peculiar specimen, and asked again: "What about the cartoons? Aren't you going to watch them?"

Hearing this, Li Hongwen picked up the ashtray on the table, intending to smash it down forcefully.

By the time he rushed back, the performance had already ended. Jia Mian said to him, "You finally made it back."

Hu Siqi and her group of friends practiced the Korean hit dance every day in the music classroom for the upcoming Arts Week, dressed in small tank tops and short skirts, revealing pairs of fair and well-proportioned long legs. Each of them was slender and graceful, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen, their dancing was truly captivating.

I want to refuse her this time, and it may truly be over in the future. I will not attend the dinner gathering on Saturday, please help me convey the message, just say that I have something to attend to

However, he does not look at those young ladies; most of the time, he is gazing in another direction. That window is tightly shut, the curtains drawn, yet the melodious sound of a piano can always be heard from within, in stark contrast to the lively songs and dances on the other side.

Since that day, the two had not seen each other for a long time. Lu Huaizheng was busy with the formation of the basketball team, while Yu Hao was occupied with the preparations for the Arts Week performance

Lu Huaizheng scratched the tip of his nose, "Is it really that obvious?"

What is the Famicom?

I knew you had it, you rascal. Li Hongwen then smiled, saying, "If it weren't for Professor Han bringing it up that day, I was already planning to ask you. How do you think I found out about the - picture - book?"

He leaned casually against the railing and said, "I like it, boys all like it, especially playing games, the Famicom, playing Super Mario, and Tetris..." At this point, he suddenly bent down, moved a little closer, and stared directly into her eyes. Those youthful eyes were filled with curiosity, "Your parents are too harsh on you, having such a deprived childhood, no wonder you're not adorable."

... ...

It is good to spread the homework on your lap and write, "It is stuffy in the classroom, let's go out and bask in the sun, what’s wrong? Is this basketball court yours? Is no one else allowed in?"

Li Hongwen further inquired, "Professor Han's student, do you have any thoughts on that?"

Do not be so careless, I am asking you a question, do you have any thoughts on this or not

The content is also quite formulaic

Lu Huaizheng squinted his eyes and thought carefully; there was indeed such a matter. Hu Siqi directly posted this incident on the forum, making it known to the entire school. The school, unable to withstand the pressure, invited the parents of the little tyrant and offered Hu Siqi a sum for emotional distress. However, Hu Siqi refused to accept it and insisted that the little tyrant should go to jail

Lu Huaizheng is also present

Lu Huaizheng lowered his head to look at that sentence, and it truly was her tone. While quickly replying, he was absent-mindedly responding to Li Hongwen's words.

Lu Huaizheng placed both hands on his waist, lowered his head and exhaled heavily. After a while, he raised his head, pressed his lips together, turned his face to the side, licked the corner of his lips, nodded and said: "Alright, just this once"

I want to annoy him

I do not like it

Without saying much, Lu Huaizheng found it uninteresting, "If you don't like it, then so be it"

At that time, after the combat training had just concluded, Lu Huaizheng had not yet changed out of his combat uniform when he was called by Li Hongwen to attend a meeting. After the meeting, he took his phone from Li Hongwen.

He sauntered over, sat down beside the Little Overlord, hooked his arm around his neck, and forcefully pulled him into his embrace. His hands, accustomed to years of playing basketball, were still somewhat different from those of the Little Overlord, nearly choking him to death. The Little Overlord rolled his eyes back in response, coughing violently a few times.

"It's alright," she replied, holding her phone tightly.

Lu Huaizheng did not respond, smiling as he lowered his head to check his phone, where a text message lay quietly, which he opened casually

I didn't like it; that day you saw me say a couple of words to Hu Siqi and then turned to leave, no matter how I called you, you wouldn't listen

At that time, a group of boys would be lying on the overpass outside the music classroom, chatting aimlessly while watching the girls dancing inside the window

Jiamian whispered, "It's good."

First item, "Hmm"

was kicked over by Yu Hao

As Yuhao sat in the car, the evening glow of the sunset gathered at the horizon, reflecting on her rosy cheeks

Lu Huaizheng stated plainly: "I cannot push it, I have an appointment with Yu Hao"

He was unwilling to mention it, and Li Hongwen did not press him. He waved his hand and said: "You know Li Taiping from the Air Force Political Academy, right? Minister Li has a precious daughter who has been studying in the UK. She just returned a couple of years ago and is now working at one of the four major law firms as a lawyer. She is also quite beautiful. You two should have met when you were young; I took you out for a meal before, and she was there too, that tall and slender girl. She quite likes you. Old Li asked the political commissar to facilitate a connection. Later, you went to Venezuela for training and didn't have time. Just now, the political commissar sent me a message saying that Minister Li has invited us for dinner on Saturday. I thought you didn't have any romantic intentions towards her. Don't glare at me; I just found out about this. Since you like Professor Han's student, take this opportunity to clarify things with Old Li's daughter, so she doesn't hold onto false hopes... Since you like Professor Han's student, take this opportunity to clarify things with Old Li's daughter, so she doesn't hold onto false hopes... I have already agreed to the dinner on Saturday night, so think carefully about how to phrase it, so as not to put Old Li in a difficult position.

Lu Huaizheng then put his phone back into his pocket, straightened his loose stance, stood at attention with his hands behind his waist, and said seriously and honestly: "Yes!"

He asked, "What did you say?"

Lu Huaizheng lowered his head and smiled slightly: "You let him try to touch a single hair of mine."

Lu Huaizheng believed that after saying this, she would no longer pay him any attention

Returning to a better state, no response

Li Hongwen threw his phone at him, saying, "What nonsense! With your meager salary, what funds can you buy? Don't risk your wife's savings on this."

It is certainly not a good thing

Li Hongwen, feeling intrigued, poured a pot of tea and gestured towards the chair in front of him, saying, "Come, sit down and let's talk."

He turned around, a cigarette hanging from his mouth, "Apart from practicing the piano, do you have any other interests or hobbies? For example, don't you play the Famicom?"

The music over there is soft and mellow, sometimes resembling the sound of high mountains and flowing water, at other times like a rushing stream, gently flowing into the heart. More often, it is profound and subtle, resonating in the ears yet also clear and bright, evoking deep emotions and stirring the blood.

The young man looked at her and laughed heartily, revealing his bright white teeth at the corners of his mouth: "Are you feeling jealous?"

What news

Lu Huaizheng felt perplexed; he didn't even know who that person was, yet he still held onto hope. What had he done to deserve this? "No, I have something to do on Saturday"

Lu Huaizheng was taken aback, with a cigarette clamped between his lips, he glanced sideways and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

... ...

"Not really." Lu Huaizheng suddenly leaned closer to her, whispering with a smile in a lowered voice, "It doesn't matter, after all, I am more than willing to be used by you."

Yuhai shook his head

"It is good." The family crown repeated it once more

Piano

"Come on, you had no childhood." He extinguished the cigarette

He lost his patience, threw the ball, and said, "I am not playing anymore"

Do not be deceived by Hu Siqi's playful nature and fiery temperament; if anyone tries to force her to do something she is unwilling to do, she can create a tremendous uproar. She has never cared about such matters as face or reputation.

Xiao Bawang reached out, wanting to help Yu Hao smooth his hair. Yu Hao wrinkled his brow in disgust, just as he was about to leave, the person over there spoke up

We haven't discussed it yet! He was exasperated

That day the sun was shining brightly

Li Hongwen was displeased, "I dare to offend the political commissar, but I cannot offend Old Li. Don't be so unclear about the situation, you pushed all the major issues onto me."

He passed the ball to another teammate and went to the entrance to smoke a cigarette, while Jiami began to report the situation of the night in his ear

with a bewildered expression, "What cartoon?"

Li Hongwen casually grabbed a piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it fiercely, saying, "After all these years with you, I can tell what kind of filling is in your casual fart. Over the years, when have I ever seen you look at a woman with that kind of gaze! Don't think you can hide it well; it's obvious that you don't take anyone to heart. Even a fool can see that you were interested in that girl by the way you looked at her!"

She smiled rarely, resting her hand on the railing: "It's fine, I quite like it. When I was young, I didn't have much interest in doing other things, just practiced the piano."

Li Hongwen advised: "Just talk to Yuhao, I have temporarily adjusted your leave, first apologize to her, and make it up to her next time. Also, let me tell you, if you go with Old Li to meet that girl on Saturday and it gets out, if Old Li's daughter finds out, aren't you just creating trouble for Yuhao?"

Minister Li invites you to dinner and still has to ask you for the time, tell me, what is your rank, and what is his rank? Has your brain gone haywire just because you fell in love?

Lu Huaizheng's formal pursuit of Hao began approximately halfway through the first semester of his first year of high school, around November, during the Art Week at the Eighteenth Middle School, when the weather was quite cold

On the day of the Art Week performance, Lu Huaizheng had a competition at another school and could not return in time

The young man cut in, "Don't come here, it's all water, what are you pretending to be alcohol for."

I am available on Saturday evening, but I have a lecture that will last until 6 PM in the afternoon, so you may need to wait for me. That's fine.

Saint Seiya, Armored Trooper Votoms, Slam Dunk, and at the very least, you must have seen Tom and Jerry, right

Lu Huaizheng smiled and turned his head slightly, directing his gaze towards the players on the field, narrowing his eyes slightly, "I realize you are actually quite mischievous, knowing I am here, bringing people over, what do you mean by that?"

Li Hongwen rested his hands on the table, casting a sidelong glance at him, and with a snort said, "Did you two know each other before?"

Yuhao glared at him, "Isn't it those in your class, Hu Siqi, who are truly adorable?"

You look really good in a shirt

Lu Huaizheng: "I do not guess"

... ...

Well, quite beautiful

Do you still remember Hu Siqi's ex-boyfriend? He is just like that little tyrant from our middle school, Zhao Hui. He was the one who forced Hu Siqi...

What? Li Hongwen was taken aback

Li Hongwen looked at him with suspicion, "Who would look for a solitary person like you?"

In the transient world, where humans and spirits coexist, why must one cling to attachments
