The few big guys who lost the first battle were furious. They continued to use their strong bodies to attack the inside like tanks. After all, the difference in physical conditions had brought great trouble to Edward and Leng Liang's defense. However, the two hot-blooded lads were not intimidated by the strength of the other party. They avoided the edge and did not play inside. Instead, they used Edward's passes and cool shots to establish a forward position to sway the outside line. They used sharp breakthroughs, unsolvable three-pointers, and the tacit understanding that the two of them had never played basketball before. They fought back powerfully and made the arrogant big guys suffer a lot.
The game was tough but enjoyable. Perhaps the real quick part of basketball was to go all out. Edward's imaginative passing and Liang Liang's unsolvable aerial performance moved the surrounding students time and time again.
The days in September seemed to be more hurried than usual. The sun had set, and the sky was a little hard to see. The two people, who were sweating, fought tirelessly on the simple stadium. They were tired, but they enjoyed it.
"Alright, alright. Let's call it a day. It's too late.”The shirtless student ran his fingers through his hair that looked like it had been washed like water as he panted.
"I just don't want to play anymore. It's too tiring.”The tall and thin student looked like he could not hold on any longer.
"Alright, that's all for today. We'll spar when we have time.”Liang Liang was already sweating profusely, but she was still struggling to hold on.
"Good kid, you won't be so lucky next time.”the Red Cliff man said while panting heavily.
"I await your good news." Liang Liang didn't seem to admire them at all.
After saying that, the two exhausted children picked up their bags and limped away from the field with their coats in their hands.
"Which class are you from? What are your names?”The tall and thin man shouted at the two people in the background.
"First grade class five, Edward Liang Ziwen.”Leng Liang said without turning her head.
"I know Liang Ziwen. I heard that he's a newcomer to this year's competition and is a thorn in the teacher's side. But he had never heard of Edward.”The shirtless student muttered to himself.
"Didn't he just come yesterday and quarrel with Diao Yide?”The skinny student answered the shirtless student's question.
"He's that 'Shooting Diao Yingxion'. He's quite good at basketball. Looks like someone will inherit our position.”The shirtless student seemed to have some admiration for Edward.
"They are far from it. Let's train for a few more years. As long as we are here, it will be our world.”The skinny man said this and they left the field.
The red light went out and the green light came on.
"Where are you going?" He turned coldly towards Edward, who was at the left intersection.
"Go home." Edward was a little puzzled by his question. Where else could he go if he didn't go home now?
Let's go and have a drink. We have such a big victory, why don't we celebrate?”said Edward coolly.
"I'm not going. It's already so late. If I don't go home soon, my grandmother will be worried.”Edward explained that no matter what, his grandparents would always be the first in his heart.
"It's okay. I'm not a bad person. What are you worried about?”Leng Liang explained.
"That's not good either." Edward wavered at the mention of alcohol.
"Come on, let me tell you about Dai Mengni.”Everyone had their Achilles 'heel, and Edward's Achilles' heel was, of course, Dai Mengni.
"Alright then." Edward was confused when he heard Dai Mengni.
"Love over friendship." He looked at Edward with disdain and said coldly,"
"No way." Edward, who had been spoken to, naturally had to defend himself.
Joking and quarreling, the two of them unknowingly arrived at the entrance of a small shop.
"A claypot gathering." Although the sky was dark, they could still see the shop's signboard with the help of the street lamps.
"What are you looking at? Come in." She had already entered the house.
Edward entered the store and saw that it wasn't very big. There were six or seven tables, but they were all filled with people. There was only one empty table in the corner near the door, and Liangliang had already taken off her bag and was sitting there.
"You're here." The person who spoke was a lady in her thirties who looked a little like Liang Liang. She asked with a smile and placed the teapot on the table as she spoke. Her movements were familiar, and it seemed that she had been doing this for many years.
"He's here." Leng Liang said lightly as she took a sip of tea.
"Who is this young man? He's quite handsome. I've never seen him here before.”The lady boss continued to ask. She could tell that Liang Liang was an old customer here.
"My high school classmate." Liang Liang replied indifferently.
"I'm eating something." The lady boss asked with a smile.
"Still the same." Liang Liang replied indifferently.
"What are you drinking?" The lady boss asked with a smile.
"I'll take it myself." said Liang Liang impatiently.
"You guys are very familiar with each other." Edward asked.
"Drink some water first. I'll get the wine.”He chuckled coldly and did not answer Edward's question.
After downing three glasses of water, Edward felt extremely comfortable. He was too thirsty after playing basketball.
"Drinking white wine." Edward screamed as he looked at Liang Liang holding a bottle of Luanhe Banquet.
"What else can I drink? Don't you like to drink?”Leng Liang looked at Edward's exaggerated expression and asked.
"I said I like beer, but I didn't say I like white wine.”Edward explained.
"It's all the same." Leng Liang said as she poured Edward some wine.
As she spoke, the lady boss had already served the dishes. They were all casseroles. There was a bowl of beef with potatoes, a bowl of pork with pickled vegetables, and a bowl of mutton noodles.
"Aren't you going to class tomorrow? Why did you serve white wine?”The Lady Boss looked at Liang Liang and said with some affection.
"It's okay. Go do your work." Leng Liang seemed to be dismissive of the Lady Boss's concern.
"Come on. We brothers are fated to do this.”Leng Liang raised her glass as she spoke.
"Alright." Seeing how cool it was, he didn't hold back anymore.
Edward felt as if his throat was on fire. He coughed dryly, and tears immediately fell from his eyes. "If you're fine, brother, have some food." Leng Liang wanted to laugh when she saw Edward's expression.
"It's fine, it's fine." Edward quickly drank a glass of water to ease the tension.
"It's always like this for the first time. I'll drink it in the future.”Liang Liang said as she lit a cigarette.
As he spoke, Edward had already downed the entire glass. His face was flushed red, but his cool expression did not change. It was more than usual.
"Didn't you want to tell me about Dai Mengni? Why didn't you say anything?”Edward was a little tipsy after drinking the glass.
"Her name is Dai Mengni. She's a first-year high school girl.”said Liang Liang as she smoked her cigarette slowly.
"That's all." Edward said in disappointment.
"That's all. I've only been her classmate for two more days than you. How would I know about her?”Leng Liang had an indifferent attitude.
"Then you said you wanted to tell me about her." Edward was a little dissatisfied. He knew that he had been deceived.
"I'm not lying to you. Why would you accompany me to drink?”" You're despicable," Edward said angrily.
"Aiya, brother, do you like her a little?”Leng Liang asked as she slowly drank a mouthful of wine.
" I am, I am..." Edward couldn't come up with an explanation for a long time.
" What is it? A real man stammers when he says something." Liang Liang was a little anxious.
"I just want to treat her well for the rest of my life." Edward gulped down a mouthful of wine and said loudly.
" Hahaha…" Leng Liang burst into laughter.
"What did you say? What's so funny? Haven't you liked girls before?”Edward was a little angry and asked loudly.
"No, no, I'm telling you, brother. Love is long, and heroism is short. Love is hurt. Girls should stay away. It's enough for us to have these cigarettes and alcohol as companions.”The cold words were spoken in a sincere and earnest manner, as if she had seen through the world of mortals.
"Nonsense, you're all nonsense. You've never loved a girl, so how would you know how I feel?”Edward argued.
"Alright, alright, you're right. Let's drink.”After saying that, she lit another cigarette. Although Edward was a little drunk, he realized that Leng Liang had a bad habit. She only drank and smoked and never ate.
"Alright, why don't you eat?”Edward asked curiously.
"I'm used to it, I'm used to it." With just two short sentences, she answered Edward's question.
Wine was definitely not a good thing. It could make people lose their temper, make people tell the truth, make people brave, and make people impulsive. This time, the wine had clearly made Edward honest.
"Whenever I see her, I have an indescribable feeling. If I don't see her for a minute, I feel like my life has lost its pivot.”The drunk Edward thought about it without reservation and revealed his thoughts coldly.
"There's no need, brother. Why torture yourself for an irrelevant person? In the end, you'll be the one who gets hurt. We're still young, and no one can afford to pay for love.”Every sentence that Leng Liang said was from the bottom of her heart, as if she had experienced it herself.
"Really?" Edward asked doubtfully.
"Really, let's go to the diamond shop later. We can have as many girls as we want, and we won't have as many worries.”Liang Liang said as she puffed out smoke.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Edward said in a daze.
The two of them chatted freely for about an hour, and there was not much left of the Luanhe River banquet.
"Another bottle." The coldness seemed to be unsatisfied.
"Don't drink anymore. If you drink any more, you'll fly into the sky.”This made Edward half asleep and half awake.
"Then forget it." Looking at Edward's expression, she didn't force him to be cool.
"Put the money here." Liang Liang shouted at the control room.
"Forget it, why would I give you money?" The Lady Boss was in a deadlock.
"I have money." Leng Liang said coldly.
"You should go home early after drinking so much. Be careful on the road.”The lady boss seemed to be particularly concerned about Liang Liang, and it was not as simple as the relationship between a boss and a customer.
