Hunter and Hussar

Chapter 43 Meeting the Stars

"Well, let me ask you a question, don't lie, don't get angry."

"Ah."

"It's just...although you scored an own goal, but after all, you are leading 5:0, why you, you..."

Before I could figure out how to describe Mi Le's performance at that time, I hurriedly asked.We were the last to leave, and there was no one in the hallway in the stadium.

"Why am I so anxious that I'm on the verge of crying?" He opened his mouth and relieved me.

nod.

"Didn't Yue Yin say before the game that the record for the longest clean sheet in the Mayor's Cup is 320 minutes. By halftime, your clean sheet time is 210 minutes. I think the strength of Experimental Middle School is not very strong. Let's not lose this game." Ball, you have 240 minutes, and the distance from that record is getting closer and closer. I really want to wait for you to break the record. It turned out to be good. I didn’t do anything else after I came on the court, and I was ahead of you by one goal..."

He had a look of frustration and disappointment on his face—not in others, but in himself, as if setting my house on fire again.Speaking of which, both Yue Yin and Mi Le are data fans, one likes to collect football data, the other loves to read test scores and rankings, and researches every day with great enjoyment, no wonder he is particularly concerned about my records.The 320 minutes was what Yue Yin told everyone, and only Mi Le remembered it so well.

"Actually, it doesn't matter... I want to see you score and celebrate more than I break any record." I squeezed his shoulder, and the bone was hard.

"Really?" He looked at me pitifully, "I'm sorry, I was still in a bad mood at the time, so I didn't celebrate much. I was a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you'll be angry with me." He muttered.

"Oh, how can I be willing to be angry with you. You must have a conscience." I put my head in front of his eyes and smiled a little flatteringly.

"But you haven't conceded a goal in so many games, even if you played against a strong team like Beichuan Middle School, you kept it, but I scored one..." His eyebrows were still furrowed, and he silently rolled up his sleeves, "Then But the first ball you lost, why was it me..."

"Actually, I don't think there is any goalkeeper who never loses the ball-except for the nonsense and unscientific chuunibang cartoons. Since there will be a day when the ball will be lost, it's better to let my best friend enter One. It's that, uh, 'I'm honored to die at your hands' feeling."

"Fuck off, you're ashamed to say that other people have a second-degree illness, and you're a mess! You're still 'dead in my hands', so crawl!" He pushed me, but he didn't use much force.I smiled at him triumphantly, and found that the expression on his face eased a lot.

"Actually, I'm afraid of letting people down. Especially those close to me."

Me too.

However, I don't seem to have disappointed my parents or sister in the past two years.It may be that they no longer have any hope for me.Thanks to them, this allows me to live freely, heartlessly.But Mi Le is different. He carries the expectations of his parents and even the whole family.He must be hope, and he must strive.Failure is not okay.Mi Le kept telling me to study hard, and hoped that I would be admitted to the high school of No. [-] Middle School together with him. I was gradually agitated by him and became a little nervous.Sometimes I really think about what I should do if I can't get into No. [-] Middle School.This means that we are going to be "separated", and my heart has told me more than once that I don't want to be separated from him. The word "separate" scares me, as if life is about to reshuffle the cards and do it all over again.I'm not sure if I have the energy to go to a strange place and build a new life.I am very greedy now, because now is the best time in my years.I don't want to lose it.

It's okay, it's okay, there are still two and a half years left, very early.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help reaching out and hugging Mi Le.If I hadn't heard the call from him on the first day of junior high school, or hadn't asked the phrase "Can I be your friend", maybe I would still be alone, not talking to anyone, and obediently guarding my own acre For three minutes, when I was sad, I hid in the quilt and cried secretly, and listened to the songs I didn't understand in the playlist of the gray account all night long.Miller was literally sent by God—if there is a God.

Did I do anything for Miller?Very little.However, I am not moving myself, I think, maybe Mi Le kept telling me to work hard, not just encouraging me.He is also very nervous, and it is not only me who needs to work hard, but also him.I am the one who is willing to accompany him. I'll be so alone without you. Maybe you'll be lonely too. The days before us were like kites or stars blowing in the wind, rising and falling.Fortunately, I met, and I am alone in this world.

If Mi Le is not the one who failed the high school entrance exam, will he be taken back to his hometown?This is terrible.The only way to go is the high school entrance examination, there is only one chance, and few people can spend another year.

So it's completely understandable that he cares so much about scores.In the last few weekly tests, his performance was not so ideal (even if that score was already very good for me), which made him try to study the topic all day long.His emotions seem to be stretched too tight. He used to be quite "light" on the court, but now he is holding on.Today's own goal is probably the last straw and crushed him.

I still like Mi Le, who was confident and tough on the court.It would be great if we could bring this temperament into our lives.

"Why are you two so slow! What are you talking about in the back, are you dating? Everyone is waiting for you!" After walking to the locker room, Xu Mu dragged us both in, and said to everyone Blow our heads off.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, Xu Mu talks like this to everyone, she said at least ten times that she will blow Huang Minxue's head off." Yue Yin pulled the two of us aside and said quietly.

"Did she really hit Huang Minxue?" Mi Le also asked quietly.

"No, at least I haven't seen one."

"Stop muttering! Let's get started!" Standing by the drum stand, she gave us a glare, but smiled.

"Yesterday was the captain's birthday, and Taotao also celebrated his birthday earlier, let's celebrate together today! Please listen to Sodagreen's "When We Walk Together"!" Huang Minxue plucked his strings, and the trio began to perform .After a melodious melody ended, everyone sang "Happy Birthday to You" together.The two birthday stars (although their birthdays have passed) thanked everyone, and our semester's competition ended with the singing and the warm wind of the air conditioner.

"Thank you very much for your hard work and hard work this semester. In fact, at the beginning of the season, I didn't expect that we could achieve such excellent results. I don't have much to say about praise. Each of you is the best." The coach walked among us , I even came here to touch Mi Le's face, "Although there will be no competitions this semester, everyone should not relax. You will continue to train in the remaining club classes. You must be mentally prepared. Next semester's knockout and The group stage is not a class at all. The opponents are stronger and the game is more brutal. The group stage can still lose - although we have not lost a game, we will be out if we lose in the knockout stage. Let's forget about our achievements now, Concentrate on preparing for the battle. By the way..."

The coach looked at Yue Yin, she swiped her mobile phone, and told her with certainty that the ranking of Group B has come out, the group of No. 54 Middle School is the first, and the group of Xiling Middle School is second. As the first group, our opponent is Xi Ridge Middle School.

"Xizhong, we lost to them in the quarter-finals last year. But this year we are stronger and can win." The captain looked at us juniors with confidence, and several other seniors also shouted "" Revenge" slogan.The coach signaled everyone to be quiet, she still has something important to announce.Our eyes were all on her, tense and expectant.Her eyes were serious, as if she was about to reveal a state secret.

"This is a small benefit. The school gave us some tickets to the Xiashui Lake Playground, which can be used before the New Year. One ticket per person, and you can make an appointment to play together." She took out of her pocket A stack of bills waved in front of us, and the face was completely changed into a candy expression for the holiday.

Gap Water Lake Playground?I know that it is a large playground newly developed in Jiangbei, probably to gather popularity. It often distributes tickets to various schools recently as a reward for outstanding students.Last week I saw Pu Yun and went there with my classmates, and posted it on Moments.

I'm not too keen on going out.But if someone wants me to go with him, it's different.

Will Miller want to go to the playground?Maybe he prefers the library.

"Playground! Playground! Oh my god, Keke, it's a playground!" Just as he was thinking, Mi Le suddenly supported my shoulders and jumped onto my back. At the same time, several sounds came from his ears " Hooray" and "Great", much louder than "Revenge" just now.I hurriedly shook Mi Le off, and then grabbed his waving hands.

"Well, coach, I don't want my ticket." Amidst the cheers, Taotao didn't accept the ticket handed over by the coach.Everyone asked why. He said that Xiashui Lake was too far away from his home, and he didn't have much time on weekends.

"Don't say that. Hey, I don't have time on weekends. In this way, mine is for you. Take your sister to play. Have a good time. Anyway, it can be used before Chinese New Year."

It's Brother Chuan.He handed his ticket to Taotao.Tao Tao hesitated, but refused.

The captain came over, also holding two tickets in his hand.He told Taotao that he and Yuan Yikong would take make-up classes for a while until the week before the Chinese New Year.So these two tickets are also given to him, and the family can take a day to play.

Yes, after the Chinese New Year, Taotao's father will come back.Wish the whole family could go out and have a good day.

The coach walked up to Taotao and told him that you just accept it and make the best use of it.Taotao thanked everyone again, carefully put the four cards into the schoolbag, and carefully closed the zipper.In addition, several seniors did not get tickets, and the reason was that they had their own arrangements on weekends.Everyone is like this. You have to do homework and make up lessons during the holidays, and at the same time you have to take care of the competition.Mi Le and I are not taking extra-curricular tutoring now, but it is estimated that we will not escape this "fate" in the second and third grades of junior high school.I heard from Brother Chuan that among the third-year junior high school students, there are people who make up all five courses, and they don't have any free time every week.Not only to supplement the knowledge in the class, but also to learn the content of high school in advance.They always want to be one step ahead, even if they haven't started yet.

The coach took out two tickets and gave them to Yue Yin and Xu Mu. There was still a little left, so he asked if anyone else wanted it.Ye Ruiyang put his hands behind his back in embarrassment, and went to the coach to take another one.As soon as Ye Ruiyang turned around, the coach found Mi Le slipping in front of him.

"Hey, Keke, it's for your sister. Let's go play together." Mi Le gave me the ticket.

I forgot my sister again.She even came to see me play today.

The coach and the girls are out.We changed our clothes, cleaned the dressing room, and wrapped ourselves in thick cotton clothes.Taotao left first, followed by Zhao Rui and Yan Xi—they seemed to be taking some competition class together.The seniors bid us farewell one by one.As soon as there were fewer people, the usually noisy room gradually quieted down.Xu Mu asked Huang Minxue through the door if it was finished. Everyone looked at each other and nodded in confirmation.Mu Zheng went to open the door, Yue Yin and Xu Mu walked in again, and his sister followed behind them.

I gave the ticket to my sister, and she said with relief that I was finally sensible.I hurriedly dodged her gaze, as if being interrogated.Miller must be secretly laughing, but he won't expose me.

Everyone sat in a circle and discussed the time to go to Xiashui Lake.The air conditioner was still on, the lights were bright, and our discussion became slow and drawn out.The final consensus is that next Saturday, the 10th, go early and be good early to avoid long nights and dreams.Dragging it to the back will catch up with the final exam.

But Xiashui Lake is in Jiangbei, it is quite far from our school, how to get there?Hurry up, if we arrive at noon, half a day is not enough for us to play, and there will be a lot of people on weekends.I pose this question.It is true that Mi Le's house and I are quite a distance from Jiangbei, and it is not convenient to take the bus. It takes at least two hours to get there.

We are not alone in this problem.Everyone discussed, Yue Yin's family has a car that can pick them up, and her uncle works in Jiangbei, working six days a week, so he can use his car.A five-seater car that can carry four people.Xuexue said that his aunt's house was near Xiashui Lake, and he could live there with Mu Zheng on Friday, and meet him directly at the playground the next day. "We can do something else on Friday." As he spoke, he nudged Mu Zheng with his elbow, but the latter lowered his head and waved his hands, probably refusing.

I would actually play with Mu Zheng and Huang Minxue, which is indeed a bit unbelievable.In the past three months, they were just my teammates and classmates, and there was almost no communication other than football.I can't help but beat the drum of anticipation in my heart: I can see what they look like outside the school and the court.More and more people are entering my field of vision and life. Although it is inevitable that I am a little nervous, the excitement is obviously better.

"How about it. Yue Yin, the girl went to Jiangbei together with Mingming, and it happens that your family lives close to each other." Ye Ruiyang made a judgment after listening to all the "information".Yue Yin asked me what to do with Mi Le.He patted his chest and said that this is easy to handle, and I will take care of them both.

"Why are you responsible?" Mi Le tilted his head and looked at him.

"Let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later." He deliberately closed his eyes and blinked.Since Boss Ye said so, I don't think he will let us find a place to spend the night under the bridge or in the cement pipes on the construction site.This should be.
