During the Snowstorm

Chapter 10: The scenery after the snow (1)

A week later.

With the help of Wu Wei, Yin Guo signed a short-term lease with the landlord, which lasted until the end of April. Two months short-term rental, two rooms. She also agreed with the landlord in the contract that, in Meng Xiaotian's room, once they got the offer, they would renew the lease for a full year.

On the day they moved in, Yin Guo took the initiative to invite Wu Wei to go downstairs and eat at that ramen restaurant, thanking them for their help.

As soon as the order was placed, a plate of wasabi octopus was placed in front of Yin Guo.

The boss smiled at her and said in English, "Please."

so good?

"Thank you, thank you." Yin Guo was flattered.

The boss soon went to greet other guests.

"Sister," Meng Xiaotian was extremely envious, "you are so popular..."

She was also confused and asked Wu Wei, "Are you old customers?"

Wu Wei shook his head: "Lin Yiyang is familiar with the boss. After sending you off that day, he couldn't go home, so he slept here."

"Really..." The cousin was surprised.

"Yeah, I was surprised at first," Wu Wei smiled meaningfully, "Suddenly he said he had to leave in a hurry, but the urgent matter was not completed, and he went back to the house again."

That day, Wu Wei's mobile phone was frozen to the point that it could not be turned on. He wanted to take the subway home, but more than a dozen lines were shut down overnight. He felt that it was too much tossing, so he simply didn't go back and drank high at the bar. When I came back early in the morning, I saw that Mr. Yang was sleeping in a ramen restaurant. It was really a blessing that Lin Yiyang was a friend all over the world, so he could live no matter what.

But Wu Wei thought about it later, what was so tricky that night.

"That's really being dragged down by us," my cousin took the responsibility directly. "When will Brother Yang come back? I'll take him to rub it up."

"Next time? I'm not sure," Wu Wei continued with a half-smiling smile, "He wants to study and earn money, so he doesn't have much free time. Every time he comes and goes, he will meet in a month or two."

After finishing speaking, Wu Wei specially added: "Don't worry, he will sleep in my room when he comes, and won't disturb you."

Yin Guo nodded.

It turns out that Lin Yiyang also lives here? Wouldn't that mean that we will encounter it often in the future?

Since that night, the two had a brief chat about the ramen restaurant in the middle of the night, and there was no communication.

In a flash, it's been a week.

During this period, every time Yin Guo thought about it, he was wondering, should we chat?

But do you feel that this idea is too diligent?

"You can thank him," Wu Wei said rightly. "The landlord is willing to rent to you for a short time. He has said a lot of good things."

"Thank you, thank you," my cousin echoed, "I'll wait for Brother Yang to come back."

Yin Guo listened to them, and while waiting, she opened WeChat and opened Lin's window.

Xiaoguo: We moved to the apartment today, Wu Wei said, you helped to talk a lot to the landlord. Thank you so much.

Back there quickly.

Lin: Good to say.

Yin Guo stopped reflexively when he saw these two words.

Fortunately, this time he took the call first.

Lin: I'm in class, I'll talk after class.

Lin: [coffee]

Xiaoguo: [happy]

Maybe because I'm a little familiar, looking at this coffee expression at the moment, it's quite cute.

She put her phone away for a while, picked up her chopsticks, and inadvertently took a big mouthful of wasabi octopus and stuffed it all in her mouth. A mustard smell rushed to the nose, and tears fell.

The two men looked at her together.

"This mustard... so authentic," she explained with tears in her eyes.

Shame to die. Really.

After dinner, the house was tidy up.

It's time for everything to be on track, like training.

Wu Wei knew what she was thinking, so she didn't need to mention it herself, just let her pick up the club and take her to the ball room closest to the apartment. Billiards is not a popular sport in the world, nor is it here, so there are not many local houses, and it takes a lot of effort to find a suitable one. Wu Wei's apartment was also recommended by Lin Yiyang at the beginning, because it was next to the ball room, which was convenient for his usual training.

As soon as the two entered the door, the boss saw Wu Wei and greeted him warmly. Wu Wei specifically explained that the owner of the ballroom was Lin Yiyang's "female friend" and directly booked a daily training time with the owner, leaving Lin Yiyang's favorite pool table.

"Lin Yiyang used to work here and teach billiards, so he has a good relationship with the boss," Wu Wei explained to her. "Here, his name is much easier to use than mine."

"He worked here?"

"Yeah, do you think he is rich?" Wu Wei laughed. "People who study abroad in their first year are not allowed to take regular jobs. Teaching billiards here is a way."

At the beginning, like her cousin, she thought that Lin Yiyang was a child of a wealthy family, similar to Zheng Yi, who studied well, lived a stable life, and was excellent in all aspects. But what Wu Wei said next completely changed her impression of Lin Yiyang.

Wu Wei roughly talked about how Lin Yiyang went from the tail of the crane in the middle school to more than 30, and after high school, he went all out to catch up, suffered a lot, and finally peeled layer by layer and chased up layer by layer. In the past ten years, since he decided to start from scratch, he has gone from being a crane tail to a school master. It can be said that except for billiards, he has almost given up his personal life.

After graduating from college, the savings of large and small scholarships alone will pay off all the high school debt and college student loans.

After graduating from college, he returned to extreme poverty, made money again, and then applied to study abroad.

"Lin Yiyang is the person I admire most in my life. I will obey him and dare to kill myself." Wu Wei stood by the pool table and handed Yin Guo a clever powder.

Yin Guo took the Qiaofen and gently wiped his club head.

Wu Wei glanced at his watch: "Okay, you practice, I'm going to work."

After Wu Wei left.

The owner of the ballroom came to take care of him once again, so that Yin Guo was harassed or troubled. Don't be polite, and directly come to the ballroom to solve it. Yin Guo agreed, and the other party patted her on the shoulder kindly and said: Lin's friend is everyone's friend.

It seemed that she suddenly stepped into Lin Yiyang's world.

Everyone here has a little friendship with him.

She practiced alone until dark.

It is enough to walk back to the apartment here, so I practiced for an extra hour today and resumed my work and rest in China. At night, there were more people in the ball room, and the boss specially closed the door of her cubicle.

But a wooden door can't stop the noise, the men drinking high outside.

Laughter and loud applause continued.

This point is similar to that in China. It is the same in many ball halls.

When she was a child, in order to practice on-the-spot mentality, she was taken to the most chaotic billiard hall by her cousin Meng Xiaodong. It was full of smoke and cursed and noisy. The cousin sat in the town and threw her on the innermost pool table, and brought her a small one. Bastards play ball, it's a common thing. Therefore, the outside environment is completely a piece of cake for her now, no different from soothing music.

But since her cousin opened the club, she has rarely been exposed to such an environment.

Not long after, there was a Chinese song playing outside, not a Chinese ballroom. It was very surprising to play this kind of song. This song brought back some childhood memories of Yin Guo. Is it "Superstar in Troubled Times"?

She leaned over and hummed this song to the three **** she had placed at a tricky angle.

With a snap, the four **** rushed to the four bottom pockets, all pocketed.

Feeling good today. When she was happy, she hummed the song in her heart: "I was born to like it, arrogance is my nature... I was born to like it, use strength to win, and rampage depends on real skills..."

The door was pulled open and a man walked in.

Her sight was just blocked by the billiard light, she straightened up and saw him.

Lin Yiyang.

The song humming in his mouth suddenly stopped.

"Good singing." He smiled and put the beer bottle in his hand on the side table.

This week, in order to be able to come here on the weekend, he was in a hurry. He didn't have time to trim his hair, and the hair on his forehead almost blocked his eyes. He was handsome and handsome. It is estimated that he came out of the billiards hall when he was a child. In fact, he is very stubborn in his bones. He has been more restrained over the years and hides it well. But sometimes, inadvertently reveals.

For example, the position of **** now.

He put his gloves on the billiard chair by the wall, took off his jacket, inside was a black long-sleeved T-shirt, ordinary jeans... His legs were really long, Yin Guo had this idea.

After holding back for a long time, she still asked, "Aren't you... in class?"

How is it like falling from the sky.

Lin Yiyang turned back and met Yin Guo's eyes.

"Come here after class," he tried to avoid her face, so as not to be frivolous, "I heard that you are training here, so take a look on the way."

He said, patting the ball table: "Are you used to it? The ball table here?"

The origin of the table in each club is different, and it will always be a little different from the one that Yin Guo has been going to. He is afraid that she will not adapt to it when she first arrives.

"It's not much different," Yin Guo pointed to a public club next to him, "I occasionally use a public club, so I have to get used to it."

"How long have you been practicing? Are you going to go back?" He leaned over and asked her, leaning on the pool table with one hand.

"I practiced by myself today," Yin Guo gave him a friendly smile, "If you are free, play a game with me?"

"I?"

Yin Guo nodded.

He suddenly laughed: "Aren't you afraid of being beaten and crying by me?"

Yin Guo was stunned for a moment: "I... my level is pretty good."

At least a quasi-professional player, who wouldn't cry if he couldn't win.

"OK," Lin Yiyang picked up the public cue, "I'll be your sparring partner."

In recent years, in addition to practicing the ball by myself, I have been gambling and teaching people to play. Even if it is to teach people, it is also strict teaching, because they are afraid that girls will be taught to cry by themselves, they never teach girls.

So, how many **** to let?

He was still doing sparring for the first time, so he had to think about it carefully.

Yin Guo looked at him picking up the smart powder and rubbing the club, as if he didn't look very happy.

Her original intention was to play casually with him, to draw closer to each other through common hobbies, but now, it seems that it is hard for her to be strong.

She hugged the club and smiled at him friendly: "How about we go to dinner? I forgot that you just got off the train."

"It's okay, I'm not hungry." Lin Yiyang said, taking out the colored **** in the bag one by one and throwing them on the table.

Find the plastic frame where the **** are placed, and place the colored **** into a diamond shape.

In the end, he put the white ball on the serving line and pointed to the ball: "Three wins in five innings, you have to be motivated, and six wins in ten innings are fine."

This aura is really like a cousin.

The song on the other side of the replay came to the sentence hummed by Yin Guo: "I was born to like it, arrogance is my nature... I was born to like it, use strength to win, and rampage depends on real skills..."

Suddenly I found that Young and Dangerous's songs matched him very well, and he was holding a club.

Yin Guo retracted his thoughts, carried the club, and walked to the side of the ball.

Lean over and straighten the club.

"Want to play fastball, or stay steady?" Lin Yiyang asked suddenly when she was about to take a shot.

She was distracted and thought about it: "It's okay."

"This year in your women's team, there is a favorite to win the championship who is playing fastball," Lin Yiyang suggested, "I'll accompany you to get used to it first."

Distracted again, she gave him a surprised look.

He was actually familiar with the women's team players?

No more distractions, take your mind, take your heart out.

Yin Guo stared at the white ball, and when the white ball appeared in her line of sight, it was a game. The opponent is the same.

With a snap, the white ball hit the colored ball, and four **** were pocketed.

A great start.

This is her first time playing with Lin Yiyang.

Because it is not an official game, and there is no betting, it is a turn to serve.

In the first game, she narrowly won.

In the second game, Lin Yiyang cleared the stage with one shot.

In the third game, she lost.

In the fourth game... She clearly felt that Lin Yiyang was starting to press down and let herself win.

It's not that she can't afford to lose.

Now in the fifth inning, it was Lin Yiyang's turn to hit the ball.

On the table, the No. 9 ball is near the bottom pocket. As long as he hits the No. 4 ball, he can easily win the game with an indirect goal.

There are three ways to win with nine goals.

The first is to shoot down the ball in order, 123456789, and finally hit the No. 9 ball to pocket and win.

The second is to hit the colored ball with the smallest number on the table, and indirectly hit the 9th ball and pocket it to win.

The third type, a tee shot, the No. 9 ball is directly pocketed, and the winner is won.

"You don't have to let me." If this situation is played against her, she can also win, and it is impossible for him to make mistakes.

Lin Yiyang thought for a few seconds.

Just now when he painted Qiaofen, he was thinking about how to release water to make it look real. After all, the situation is too good to cheat. With the light on the ball table, he was very happy to see Yin Guo's appearance, and he was relieved.

Leaned over, shot, and Lisuo took it.

Yin Guo applauded.

Lin Yiyang opened the door, returned the club, and settled today's table money.

Yin Guo ran over with her cue barrel and wanted to pay for it herself, but he blocked her with one arm, and by the way, took her cue barrel: "You are a guest from afar, it's your first time here today, The table money is on my head."

Yin Guo still has to argue.

The boss had already smiled and pushed the money back to Lin Yiyang, saying it was his.

Lin Yiyang and the boss were friends, so he didn't show much politeness, smiled and greeted each other, and took Yin Guo out of the ballroom.

The temperature outside was even lower than when she came, Yin Guo felt that the weather forecast was right, it must be snowing again.

"In the evening, I prepared hot pot at home, let's eat together." She followed Lin Yiyang and walked to the apartment.

Lin Yiyang agreed.

"Actually, I have a good friend from the same school as you, an alumnus," Yin Guo added, "she is from the lawcenter."

"Your brother said so." He replied.

Oh well, you're chatting to death again. Don't blame me.

She originally thought that when she got home, there were two chatterboxes, Wu Wei and Meng Xiaotian. When they met, they would always neutralize the atmosphere. Unexpectedly, when I returned to the apartment, the lights were not turned on, and the room was pitch black.

On the table, you can still see a small pot that Yin Guo had prepared before leaving, as well as uncut vegetables.

What about people? It was there before I left.

She took advantage of Lin Yiyang to turn on the light, went to the stall where she washed her hands, took out her mobile phone, and asked where Meng Xiaotian was.

Tiantian: Brother Wei bought a Broadway ticket in the afternoon and took me to the show.

Xiaoguo: Haven't you seen it several times?

Tiantian: I didn't watch it all, this time it happened that I didn't watch it. It would be nice to have someone to accompany you. Every time I come by myself, sister, you can eat at home.

Fortunately, Lin Yiyang was there, otherwise this table would be ready for nothing.

She put down her phone depressed: "the two of them are not here, do you still want to eat?"

Lin Yiyang nodded as a matter of course: "Eat."

As he said, he rolled up the sleeves of his T-shirt, turned on the faucet, and washed all the dishes that Wu Wei left in the sink that had not been washed. Yin Guo unexpectedly discovered that he had a flower arm tattoo on his right arm. The last time I was in Flushing, I wore thick clothes. His cuffs were pulled up symbolically, but they couldn't be pulled up very high, so he didn't show them—

looks great.

Lin Yiyang noticed that she was looking at him, shook off the water droplets on the plate, picked up the rag, and wiped the plate while looking back at her.

Only then did Yin Guo realize what he was doing, and turned around quickly: "Then I'll go get ready."

What happened today, I have been staring at people.
