During the Snowstorm

Chapter 38: Return of the King (2)

In Lin Yiyang's coat, the smell of him on the T-shirt was like a dose of tranquility, which made her heart gradually calm down.

He let go of Yin Guo, and saw that the tip of her nose was red, and her eyes were still red: "It seems that it has grown and it looks better. I didn't dare to recognize it directly when I walked out."

I know he's talking nice, but it's still useful.

After the two stared at each other for a few seconds, his eyes slid over her red forehead, just hugged tightly and pressed down, and then slid onto the brothers behind him.

Jiang Yang smiled behind Yin Guo and said, "You talk, we've seen it a few times before, it's not new."

"Yeah," Wu Wei echoed, "It's An An, I haven't had a chance to meet him after returning from the United States. And Lin Lin, haven't seen him?"

Lin Lin crossed his arms and glanced at Lin Yiyang across the big men: "It hasn't changed much, okay, it's over. You guys continue."

Everyone laughed and took the initiative to make time for the little couple to talk.

Only Chen An'an counted them seriously: "The schedule is so tight, you and your sister-in-law haven't met much, have you?"

Chen An'an regarded Yin Guo as his sister-in-law, and went to see Yin Guo after speaking.

"Well, I haven't seen him much," Yin Guo said, "I haven't seen him as many times as my brother."

This year, Lin Yiyang was in the arena, and she was also in the arena, like two parallel worlds.

These athletes, similar to F1 racing and golf, have their own set of competitions and sponsorship systems. Their life is to sign up and participate in as many competitions as the association recognizes, earn bonuses, and get points.

Snooker and Nine Ball are not the same association, one is the United Kingdom, the other is the United States, and it is not a standings. They are completely different systems. So what competition he participated in had nothing to do with Yin Guo.

The only thing they have in common is that he also played nine-ball, but Lin Yiyang participated in nine-ball competitions in the United States, as well as regional competitions in local states. These competitions have nothing to do with Yin Guo, just like her participation in domestic and provincial competitions, they are all internal and not external.

Of course, there will also be complicated mixed competitions. Usually, there will be problems that the association does not recognize, does not include points, has poor management, and has too low bonuses. Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo are already ranked very high in the world list, and they basically do not go. Such games.

However, since Lin Yiyang has returned to China, if there is a competition that needs to represent the country, he will still have the opportunity to train together and compete together. It also depends on whether both of them can join the national team.

This is all for the future.

Jiang Yang arranged for a car to pick him up, and everyone left the airport together to the underground parking lot.

The elevator was full of people, and when Sun Yao pushed a large luggage cart up, Lin Yiyang saw that the situation was about to be overloaded, and took Yin Guo to sit down and ride the elevator.

In fact, Yin Guo could only take him to the parking lot. There was also a night shift driver in the club, and he wanted to take her home. As long as she didn't have a match, no matter how late she was, she couldn't stay out overnight.

She was still thinking about waiting for everyone to get on the bus, but before the elevator reached the end, she saw her cousin waiting there.

Why is he here?

This year, Meng Xiaodong hired a coach abroad for closed training and competitions, and he never returned to China. Not only did Yin Guo not see Lin Yiyang, but he also didn't have the chance to meet his cousin. When I saw him appear, it was rare to wear casual clothes and stand under the elevator, and I was startled.

It's past three in the morning.

The unique smell of gasoline mixed with water vapor in the parking lot permeated the surroundings. Yin Guo felt that his cousin was not looking at him and Lin Yiyang, but at the back. She looks back.

It turned out that Lin Lin and Chen An'an didn't squeeze up either, and they followed behind them, after a dozen elevator treads. Lin Lin is tall among girls, about the same size as Chen An'an. Yin Guo was very impressed when she saw her in the Hangzhou competition venue for the first time.

At that time, Yin Guo's first thought was: No wonder there is a saying of "Shuanglin" in Dongxin City, and they all have faces that people can't forget after seeing them. It has accumulated over the years, and if you praise them for their good looks, you will feel that the words are too thin, and there is a temperament in it.

When Meng Xiaodong was looking at Lin Lin, Lin Lin didn't dodge, smiled slightly, and asked him, "Come to pick up your sister?"

"Yes," Meng Xiaodong was looking at her, "how are you? Your body?"

"fine."

Yin Guo saw Meng Xiaodong frown, and glanced at Lin Lin's waist. She was reminded by her cousin's eyes and noticed that Lin Lin was wearing a white lambskin leather jacket with high waist and short sleeves. If a piece of skin is looming, you can't see it if you don't look closely.

She thought to herself that in the story that Lin Yiyang and Wu Wei told that morning, they must have omitted important things.

But from that glance, Meng Xiaodong ignored Lin Lin and made a rush.

"If you don't leave, your mother is going to call me again," Meng Xiaodong explained to Lin Yiyang. "Originally, I asked the driver of the club to pick her up. I was afraid that the driver would see the flight number and find that the time was not right, so he would miss the point. I will be myself. coming."

Obviously Meng Xiaodong wants to make it clear: he is here for his sister.

Before Lin Yiyang could answer, Lin Lin said lightly, "You're a big brother, so it's normal to come."

"Yes," Meng Xiaodong said after half a beat, "it's normal."

At the end of this sentence, Meng Xiaodong and Lin Lin no longer communicated.

The hasty conversation between the two caused the surrounding air pressure to drop rapidly.

It seems that today's protagonists should be them, Lin Lin returned from overseas, and Meng Xiaodong came to pick up the plane... Yin Guo and Lin Yiyang became foils.

As soon as she thought of going home, she didn't have time to relive the clues between her cousin and Lin Lin. She put her fingers in Lin Yiyang's palm and explained to him, "My family won't let you go home at night, you have to go back."

Although this time to leave the airport, it is estimated that it will be dawn when we arrive home, but the rules cannot be broken.

Lin Yiyang and her were separated by three or five videos. He found out that she lived at home except for the competition. He didn't feel surprised. He said to Meng Xiaodong, "You two.

After finishing speaking, he took Yin Guo's hand and led her to a slightly further driveway.

There is no corner to avoid people in the underground parking lot of the airport, except that the traffic flow at night will be reduced by half, which is no different on weekdays. There is an uninterrupted passenger flow up and down the elevator, and there are large and small cars and official cars passing in line in the well-connected driveway. The two of them avoided Meng Xiaodong and the others at most and whispered a few words.

Yin Guo looked at Lin Yiyang's hair, which had grown a bit longer. When he went back to celebrate his birthday last time, he shaved an inch, just like someone who is often seen in prisons in American TV dramas. it's better now.

But thinking about it, that hairstyle is more in line with his nature, that is, the sense of disobedience is too heavy when playing in shirts and trousers.

Lin Yiyang hid very deeply at first, and with more contact, Yin Guo could clearly feel his aura. It was the seasoned and deep-rooted publicity left behind by growing up in various street places. He has spent many years covering his temperament under layers of books, but it is difficult to change his nature, and he is still the fresh man underneath.

She quietly zipped his clothes, slid it down, and saw Saint Laurent in white handwriting on the black short sleeves. Unsurprisingly, the one she gave him this year, the white one, was in her suitcase, and she had been carrying it with her.

"What?" he asked knowingly. "When no one is there to zip me up?"

I was so embarrassed by what he said, I wanted to fix him again, but I heard him say, "Don't mention me to your family, give me some time."

"I haven't mentioned it before. My brother also let me hide it first," she said softly. "I was afraid that you would be angry, so I didn't dare to tell you directly."

Before he finished speaking, his face was held in his hands, shattering all the thoughts he had not yet spoken. When the eyes of the two met, Yin Guo's heart beat as if he had never made out with him. He held his face so easily, looked at each other, and breathed very lightly. very light.

In the lane on the right, a car passed by, and another car, the smell of the car's exhaust was even heavier.

His face got closer: "Can I see you tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow, the family will go to the grave together, and a lot of people will come."

After a long silence, there was pressure on his forehead. He pressed his forehead against himself, and he lowered his head to speak.

In the end, he didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just smiled.

Later, Yin Guo got into the car with his cousin, and when he fastened his seat belt, he was still thinking about the last action of Lin Yiyang, wondering if what he said was not very good, in short, the last smile seemed to be lower than he had ever seen before.

However, from the time I got to know Lin Yiyang, after a day or so, there are more details that are unfamiliar and unfamiliar.

Meng Xiaodong didn't like to chat while driving. Yin Guo and Lin Yiyang left in a hurry as soon as they saw each other. Without chatting, the car sped along the airport highway unhindered. After a while, she thought of a real problem and asked Lin Yiyang on WeChat.

Fruit in the forest: Where are you tonight?

Lin: I rented a place, but I haven't packed it yet. I'll just go there tonight and make do with it for one night.

Lin: Everyone is here, so probably won't sleep.

Fruit in the forest: Do you want to drink?

Lin: Not necessarily.

Fruit in the forest: Drink less.

Thinking of the last time she was drunk, she had lingering fears.

Lin: Good.

Lin Liguo: I just saw you, I was very nervous, as if I just got together.

Lin::)

Lin: Same.

"Boss..." Suddenly there was a voice in the car. It was from Meng Xiaodong. He held the steering wheel, turned on the signal, and left the airport at the expressway. "Did you tell me about me?"

Yin Guo heard Wu Wei say that Lin Lin's nickname is "Zong Zong", she thought that only people in Dongxincheng would call it that, just like only a few of their brothers would say "slump".

"No." She couldn't lie to Meng Xiaodong either.

Meng Xiaodong was silent, Yin Guo looked at him quietly.

"Is there anything you want to ask?" Meng Xiaodong actually invited her to ask, as if he had the desire to talk.

"Why didn't you look down on Lin Lin in the first place?" Yin Guo asked what was in his heart when he saw his cousin started, "They told me. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know that you still have this paragraph. "

Meng Xiaodong was silent for a long time, until Yin Guo thought he would not answer.

"More than this paragraph," Meng Xiaodong said, "I talked about it three times."

three times? Three girlfriends? Is there another Lin Lin chasing him?

Why isn't there any exposed news, since it's a girlfriend who can't hide everything, it's not a bad thing to hide. No one mentioned about the festivals in the family. Generally, there would be gossip between relatives in private.

"Three times are the total." Meng Xiaodong finally said.

So my cousin's first love was Lin Lin? Also divided and combined three times?

She was aroused by a strong desire to explore, and the man who drove the car didn't plan to say any more. Still, someone can always ask.

The moment Yin Guo unlocked the phone, Meng Xiaodong saw her careful thought: "Want to ask Lin Yiyang? He doesn't necessarily know, and probably no one in Dongxincheng knows." Going home with questions.

Meng Xiaodong took her to the door of the house and watched the car go away before she looked for Lin Yiyang.

Fruit in the forest: I'm home, are you there yet?

Lin: Soon.

Fruit in the forest: Did you know? My brother just told me that he and Lin Lin are better off.

Lin: I know.

Fruit in the forest: My brother said you don't necessarily know.

Lin: I bumped into it once.

Lin Li Guo: It seems that you told Wu Wei last time, I wonder if my brother likes Lin Lin?

Lin: Are you interested in their affairs?

Lin Liguo: After all, it's my brother. He confided himself to me for the first time since he was a child. It was just heartbreaking to hear.

Lin: Meng Xiaodong has his own life.

Lin: Pay more attention to me.

This sounded like she was jealous, and Yin Guo thought she thought too much.

Lin Yiyang spoke again.

Lin: My wife has always cared about others, and it doesn't feel good.

***

Lin Yiyang jumped out of the commercial car.

Sneakers stepped on the land, facing a row of dark-lit shop facades on the commercial street. On the left is a milk tea shop, the glass windows are covered with photos of various large cups of milk tea, discounts and promotions, and on the right is a gold shop.

How old is it? I went to another province for the university entrance exam, and I didnt think about coming back two years after graduating. Except for going through various formalities for a short time before studying abroad, I had nothing to do with this place. It's been almost ten years.

"This staircase is connected to a hotel, which used to be an old-fashioned hot pot restaurant," Jiang Yang said. "The prime location is better than ours in Dongxin City, but it's a little smaller. The second and third floors are all yours."

In fact, it is not too small. It is much larger than the ball room on the ground floor of the Washington Youth Hostel, with two large flats.

It's just that Jiang Yang was the one who said this. The brothers who got out of the car are also the mainstay of Dongxin City. Compared with that place, they are still a lot inferior.

"Okay." Sun Yao raised his head, visually measured the width of the floor, and sighed, "Brother Yang, it's alright, once you return to China, it will be a big business."

"It's rented, not bought." Lin Yiyang said.

In the early morning, there is no one around. The corridor is very narrow, and there are bags of decoration waste, broken bricks, and broken cement that have not been transported away. It is impossible to tell whether the ground is floor tiles or cement floors, and newspapers are spread in a mess. The position of the elevator door has not yet been installed, and it is a boxy black hole in the Black Blondung Land.

The whole building is being re-leased and renovated.

Lin Yiyang stepped up the stairs, walked to the second floor, and reached the gate. The red-painted gate was simply hung with an old-fashioned black lock.

Lin Yiyang took the key given by Jiang Yang, opened the lock, and flipped the heavy lock twice in his hand: "This thing opens as soon as it is pried. Is it a decoration?"

Jiang Yang smiled: "It's just a decoration, in case someone comes to build a floor and live in a free house. There's already nothing in it."

It is indeed as Jiang Yang said, open the door, and there is nothing inside.

The last hot pot restaurant was removed, but what could not be moved remained, such as wooden tables and benches built into the walls, and decorative lacquered red pillars.

"Why don't you just open a hot pot restaurant, it's all ready-made." Wu Wei joked behind him.

Lin Yiyang smiled, looking at everything in front of him in the morning light coming in through the windows on the left side, he already had the locations of the ball tables, bar counters, club racks and billiard chairs in his mind, and even where the room he lived in was. .

"Call all the brothers back," Lin Yiyang took a step forward and said to Wu Wei behind him in the dusty room, "Those who didn't get along well."

From the second-year scoring club to the first-year high school, he has more than a few brothers by his side, but there are only a few who are truly talented and able to make their mark, just a few every year. Most of the people who come to the club are children with poor grades. The big waves wash away the sand and become the bottom of the gravel, which is scattered in every corner of the city.

Wu Wei and Lin Yiyang talked about brothers who didn't get along well, they still liked billiards and didn't want to give up, he remembered them all. Remember all.
