During the Snowstorm

Chapter 46: When the glory returns (5)

It was dark.

There was a small gap in the window, and because of the suction of the night wind, the curtains were stuck to the wall, and the outline of the window could be discerned through the fabric. There is also moonlight, or the light of street lamps, shining in through that layer of cloth.

She rested her head on his arm, looked up at him, and saw the curvature of her chin and the Adam's apple that belonged to a man. Suddenly, I thought of the box of blades in the bathroom, the track of the sharp, paper-thin silver blade, and the decadence of his unshaven beard.

On his birthday, he sneaked to Washington, and waited in the ballroom. When Lin Yiyang arrived, he was completely disheveled when he got out of the elevator, and he looked like he hadn't shaved for half a month. At that time, everyone even coaxed Lin Yiyang to kiss her, otherwise they couldn't show the joy of their sweetheart falling from the sky, and as a result, everyone who coaxed was repaired by him.

He's not a particularly exposed person. In the room full of laughter, the two of them didn't even hug each other, but she could see that he was very happy.

"Lin Lin talked to me once during the training camp." She thought of one thing.

Knowing the relationship between Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo, Lin Lin was afraid that they had little experience and believed too much in external measures. The trick would affect the World Championships. He talked to her privately, and said that he had been tricked because of it. At that time, Yin Guo ignited the flames of gossip as soon as he heard it, but one was Lin Yiyang who was young, and the other was his brother, and it was awkward to gossip with the parties... I had to keep it in my heart as a secret.

Regarding Lin Lin's privacy, Yin Guo didn't want to go into detail with Lin Yiyang, so she turned the corner and asked, "Has she ever liked anyone else? Except my brother?"

Lin Yiyang leaned against the head of the bed and shook his head: "It shouldn't be."

Although there was no connection in the past, looking at the atmosphere between Lin Lin and Meng Xiaodong that day, from what he knew about Lin Lin, he should still like Meng Xiaodong. Lin Lin has been making decisions since he was a child.

"You said... my brother has been out of the state for more than a year, will it be related to emotional problems?"

"No." He knew that his old rival would not be so vulnerable.

"Since he was 19 years old, he was directly promoted to the Open and never played in the qualifiers. But the European Masters Cup fell out of the top 16 and went to the qualifiers. I heard that it was sad for half a month. "

Yin Guo was brought into the industry by Meng Xiaodong. Although the relationship is not usually close due to Meng Xiaodong's character, he has a very deep relationship. When it comes to Meng Xiaodong's low period, he is very worried.

Last year could only be regarded as a severe ups and downs. This year, it has been declining all the way. It is almost May. break out.

Lin Yiyang touched her hair: "It will pass."

"My brother is younger than you, so he should still have a chance to get up, right? If he really goes downhill, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."

Meng Xiaodong started playing at the age of seven, and has always been the most dazzling player among his peers. For more than ten years now, all his life has been snooker's 22 balls, cues, table...

She couldn't imagine him retiring, she couldn't even think about it.

Lin Yiyang told her objectively: "In the industry of athletes, there is no reward for hard work. No matter how good the results are, the future is the end of the hero. Sooner or later, you have to suffer if you can't stand it."

Lin Yiyang is a past person who has experienced both peaks and valleys. His words are very weighty and cruel.

Her heart sank.

He saw that she was silent for a long time, realized that she was too serious, and self-examined for half a minute, thinking that his little girlfriend seemed to be very interested in the past of Lin Lin and Meng Xiaodong, so he said: "Lin Lin is here and will help him."

She didn't expect Lin Yiyang to suddenly say this.

"Lin Lin told your brother in the past that he likes to watch him cut people with a face that is more beautiful than a girl, and make everyone cry, but he still has a straight face and doesn't laugh without laughing." "

He concluded: "Meng Xiaodong will get up if he still has her in his heart."

Yin Guo was interested: "Tell more about them."

Lin Yiyang smiled: "No more."

"You always say you don't know, but in fact you know a lot." She just lost her appetite and lost her appetite. How could she let him go, "Think again, help me think about it."

He shook his head: "I'll tell you when I think about it."

There happened to be movement outside.

"Sister An is awake." Lin Yiyang changed the subject.

As if to cooperate with him, the door was knocked: "Are you awake?"

"Just woke up." He responded.

"Last time, Jiang Yang said that there is a ball room nearby? Tell me where it is, I should go to training."

Lin Yiyang replied, "Wait a minute, let's go together."

Chen An'an was awake, and it was not easy for them to stay in bed.

He and Yin Guo tidied up the bed, and said to her when dressing: "As soon as the nine-ball world championship is over, Anmei will retire. This is his last open tournament."

So fast? Chen An'an is about the same age as him, not even 30 years old... However, his performance in the training camp was really not outstanding, and he was much worse than the young people.

"Go out for a while, if you don't know." He stroked her hair.

"Ok."

Lin Yiyang came to the United States this time to accompany Yin Guo and Chen Anan.

That kid is a dead brain, because his performance is not top-notch, so he only concentrates on the game and the club.

No matter what game it is, domestic or foreign, there will always be only training and hotels in the place, and I dont want to waste the clubs money. Once the game is over, I will not stay for more than a day, and the first batch will return to China. So even though I came here last year, I ran the hotel and the gym at two o'clock and one line, and most came to this apartment to see Lin Yiyang.

Lin Yiyang thought about taking advantage of the last opportunity of the Open to accompany him around.

The elder brother is the host, and the younger brother never dares to refuse.

***

They ate dinner and went to the gym to practice.

A year later, she couldn't help looking at every familiar corner since she walked down the stairs.

This year, Lin Yiyang lived in this apartment, and naturally he practiced ball in this room, so the table in the private room that was commonly used before was replaced by snooker, and he kept it all year round.

Yin Guo and Chen An'an completed today's training on two nine-ball tables in a private room.

Lin Yiyang was doing sparring by the side, and he was enjoying himself very much. In fact, he still likes this kind of life, set up a table for his girlfriend and brother to practice ball, accompany him by himself, and occasionally go out and play two games with people. Holding an ice bucket of beer, whether it is a regional champion, a national champion, or an amateur player, they all mix together, those who love to preach, those who love to drink, and those who love to tell jokes wantonly, simply and simply.

That night, Yin Guo saw the long-lost Lin Yiyang again.

It was as if he was in Flushing that night, wearing a black cotton casual top, trousers, and sneakers, carrying a public club in an unknown small ball room, and being an unknown hidden master.

This is the man who does not stick to the rules and is talented, the man who is just as happy to play ball and play the world whether it is a game or not, whether he gets a bonus or not.

"He's so nice and comfortable." Chen An'an was beside Yin Guo, and because of a few bottles of beer, it was hard to say more, "Lin Yiyang, who no one can control, is himself."

She echoed: "I had the same impression when I first saw him play, in another Chinese club. He was very arrogant that day, and his opponent was a particularly famous regional champion, so he said to people - come, let me see Look at your strength."

To this day, she still remembers the way he was talking to people with his back to him, holding a club, flipping the ball in one hand, and turning his back to him.

Chen Anan laughed when he heard it. He held the brown glass bottle and continued to sigh with emotion: "He is a very contradictory person. On the one hand, he is so free and easy to die, no matter what he says, he will not want it, and on the other hand, he is too sentimental. Hands and feet tied."

But who is not contradictory, people are multi-faceted.

Chen Anan paused for a while and suddenly said, "I sometimes think that if we hadn't shown up, he would be fine here."

"You don't want him to go back?" She thought that the people from Dongxincheng gathered last year with the same goal, letting Lin Yiyang return to China.

Chen Anan shook her head.

After a while, he said, "It's Jiang Yang who wants him back, and Jiang Yang wants him to take over the team from Dongxincheng."

Want him to pick up Dongxincheng?

Yin Guo glanced at the man by the snooker table in the distance. He was playing snooker with a white-haired white old man. The old man was a lover, and he was not at the technical level at all. He also liked to ask questions. Lin Yiyang spoke seriously, he was playing while answering questions.

"He didn't agree?" Yin Guo asked softly.

She guessed that she didn't agree. If she did, he would tell herself.

"Yes, no promise."

Chen Anan paused for a while, as if he had a lot to say, but because he rarely communicated with women on weekdays, he still talked about the past after thinking about it: "Among the few of us in the past, only he and Jiang Yang were Mr. He. My apprentice, everyone else has their own teacher. My teacher left the second year after I entered Dongxincheng. That year, I was in the first year of junior high school and had average qualifications. Other teachers were unwilling to take over... But I don't want to leave, I want to continue If you fight, no one will teach you to stay."

Yin Guo guessed: "He asked Elder He to help?"

Chen Anan smiled, shook his head and said, "He told the people in Dongxincheng that he was the champion anyway, and he came to teach me. Those words that he said were really crazy, because this offended several Dongxincheng. My teacher said that he was arrogant, and Mr. You He used to dare to say anything and do anything."

But without Lin Yiyang's conceited insistence, Chen An'an had already changed careers, and that would have been another life trajectory. Maybe better, maybe not as good as it is now, but definitely no longer with billiards.

"This person is frustrated. He doesn't like to say nice things. His philosophy of life is that he is only strong when he is strong. He doesn't like to engage in social networking. The people around him were scattered, and I saw that he was still there."

Lin Yiyang beckoned to her and asked her to go out with himself.

Yin Guo put the club on the shelf, walked through the crowd in three or two steps, and followed him up the steps.

The scaffolding outside the gate of the ballroom was still there. She took Lin Yiyang's hand and looked up, "What are you decorating? It hasn't been demolished for a year."

He laughed, the devil knows.

Lin Yiyang took a pack of cigarettes from the club owner. Right now, he was in a good mood, leaning against the door frame, looking at the street scene outside, knocking on the bottom of the cigarette case, knocking out one, lighting it with a lighter, and taking a puff.

The faint smoke scattered in the night, he squinted, looked at her through the smoke, saw that the smoke disappeared without a trace, and did not say a word.

"Drinking too much?" She shook her hand in front of his eyes.

It's good to have this wine, but it's too early to drink too much.

"Look at that." He suddenly grabbed Yin Guo's wrist, clasped it with her arm, hugged her from behind, and pointed his finger between the cigarettes to the distance, the next street intersection.

It's an ice cream truck.

She knew that he was going to feed himself again...

"You're nice to people, don't you just feed delicious food?"

That being said, it's pretty much the same.

My parents left early. In the first two years, I didnt get in touch with my relatives, so he brought his younger brother with him. He couldnt coax him to buy food. He even bought food after beating him. It was very effective. It was annoying at the beginning. I had to go to school, go to the ball room, and ride my brother to and from kindergarten. Life was not easy, and it was a great happiness to have delicious food.

He was interested, took a few puffs of his cigarette, and took out his wallet from his trousers pocket.

As a result, Chen Anan came out and also received an ice cream, one for Yin Guo.

"I'm a big man," Chen Anan was a rough man, holding an ice cream cone, "buy me this..."

He smiled and said to Yin Guo, "When he was a child, he took his younger brother with him every day. There were only three tricks: scare, beat, and buy food. It's probably the third trick for you, and he doesn't know anything else."

Yin Guo was delighted to hear it: "Yes, yes, he is cute and invited someone to dinner. This trick caught me."

"Junior sister in Beicheng, is there still no one to invite me to dinner?" Chen Anan smiled.

She pursed her lips and smiled. It is not lacking, but it is not comparable to him, not even a finger.

A man carries all his belongings, and his mind is full of plans to take you to eat here and there. He can't wait to buy you a glass of antique wine from the year of his birth with the last penny. No one can compare to this kind of person.

Lin Yiyang lit another cigarette beside him and watched the two finish their ice cream like a child. Someone in the ballroom asked for more ice buckets of beer and asked loudly, "Lin, is it until midnight? You'll pay for it?"

Lin Yiyang leaned there and replied with a smile: "How much will they drink and buy until dawn tomorrow?"

With enthusiastic cheers and thanks, Lin Yiyang saw that there were two homeless people on the side of the road watching here, and threw the half-pack of cigarettes in his hand: "Enjoy."

The successive Amazing sounds of the homeless made people feel better.

Yin Guo and him are on the left side of the door and the other on the right side of the door. He was smoking and looking at her.

Yin Guo was caught by his gaze, took two steps, came to him, and wrapped his arms around his neck. Lin Yiyang looked down at her, there was something intense in his dark pupils, but only in the bottom of his eyes.

On this street, where he hugged her for the first time, beside a road full of traffic and passers-by, he lowered his head. Because she was afraid of the smell of smoke, she kissed the corner of her mouth, slipped in between her lips and stirred her twice with the tip of her tongue, then left quickly.

Immediately, he smiled and said in a low voice, "The ice cream is not bad."
