Hate The Bright Moon Chapter 27
byChapter 30
After breakfast, the riders in the camp were preparing to head to the starting point of the race.Chi Huang climbed onto the off-road vehicle, occupied two seats, and waved to Chen Shilu.
Dalin drove them over, saw this scene in the rearview mirror, and asked him what he was doing.
“Tell Chen Shilu to get in the car. He will also come to watch my game.”
Dalin said expressionlessly: “When he comes up, just ride there by yourself. There can’t be so many people in the car.”
Chi Huang ordered some people, the mechanics will also go there together today, and it is true that there is no room for them.He was just thinking about how he could drive Chen Shilu there if he didn’t work harder, when Jiang Chao came over and pushed him back into the car.
“Don’t think about it. Save your energy on the way and compete well when it’s time to compete. If Xiao Chen doesn’t go, he will rest in the camp.”
“Xiao Chen, do you listen to him or me?” Chi Huang jumped out of the car, put his arm around Chen Shilu’s shoulders, and insisted on taking him with him.
Jiang Chao’s eyes twitched. Ever since Chen Shilu came here, Chi Huang has been acting like crazy, and his actions are even more careless.
He threw Chi Huang’s arm off Chen Shilu and reasoned with him patiently: “Why did you have to call him over? After driving for several hours, the referee whistled, and you rushed out on your motorcycle, leaving him to bask in the sun on the roadside?”
Hearing this, Chen Shilu took a step back very cognizant of current affairs: “I won’t go. You have a good game. I am cheering for you in my heart.”
Seeing that there seemed to be no room for maneuver, Chi Huang was a little hurt and asked Chen Shilu: “Won’t you regret that you didn’t come to watch my game this time?”
Jiang Chao saw that he was still not giving up, and added, “What could he see in the past? Just the stream of exhaust gas when you started? There is also a large live broadcast screen in the camp. When the aerial photography captures you, we will naturally see it.”
Seemingly for this reason, Chi Huang went around Chen Shilu’s neck and pulled him aside to whisper.
“You will watch me play in the camp.”
“I will watch the live broadcast on the big screen, don’t worry.”
“If you keep staring at the big screen, you can definitely see me.”
Chen Shilu smiled at the corners of his eyes: “Are you so confident that aerial photography can capture you?”
“Of course, every game will have my special introduction. After all, I am very popular with the camera.” He suddenly thought, “How about I ask Lao Jiang to go to the organizing committee to copy a video of the previous game for you to see?”
“You really want me to watch you play?”
“Yes, you came all the way to show you something nice.” He leaned close to Chen Shilu’s neck, “I took off my clothes to show you, but you didn’t look at it.”
“Your coach and the others are all watching.” Chen Shilu glanced at the crowd ten meters away, “Okay, I will watch your game live.”
Chi Huang suddenly blocked the side of his face with the helmet on his hand, blocking the sight of his teammates, and kissed Chen Shilu before he stopped: “You must watch it.”
Finally sent the competition team away.
Jiang Chao had a meeting with the organizing committee today, so he also stayed.
He said to Chen Shilu: “It takes them two hours to get there. There is nothing to do now. If you don’t wake up, you can go back to sleep.”
“It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about me, just do your thing.”
In fact, it was a bit embarrassing to face Jiang Chao and Chen Shilu. The eldest brother obviously hadn’t realized the true relationship between him and Chi Huang.
At first, Chen Shilu thought that he was just Chi Huang’s coach. The role of coach had nothing to do with the students’ personal lives. Since Chi Huang didn’t care, he didn’t care.
But that doesn’t seem to be the case now.
Jiang Chao’s concern and advice for Chi Huang have long gone beyond the category of “coach”, but a character like Chi Huang who is not stingy will act according to Jiang Chao’s instructions, which shows that he is very convinced of him.Considering that Chi Huang is an orphan, it is not difficult to guess that the real relationship between the two is more like a traditional master and apprentice, a father and son to a certain extent.
Chen Shilu never thought that he was just having an exciting elopement tryst on a whim, but he met the other person’s “father” unexpectedly.
So why did Chi Huang call him here?
Does Chi Huang realize their current embarrassing situation?
If Jiang Chao knew that he had such a relationship with Chi Huang, and that he was so many years older than Chi Huang, he would definitely think that he had abducted Chi Huang.Just thinking about it makes my face feel hot, especially the side that Chi Huang just kissed.
Jiang Chao was unaware and just chatted with him: “I’m fine too, the meeting won’t start until ten o’clock. By the way, Xiao Chen, how do you and Chi Huang know each other? You two don’t look like they can be friends.”
Really afraid that something might happen, Chen Shilu said vaguely: “We just met while drinking in a bar.”
“Is that the time you had a conflict with Ah Chao and the others?”
Chen Shilu nodded.
Jiang Chao laughed and said, “It’s true that we don’t know each other before we fight. We can become friends like this. It’s a great fate.” The old man put his arm on Chen Shilu’s shoulder without warning, “Speaking of which, that kid is very clingy to you. I’ve never seen him be so close to anyone. You two have only known each other for a short time.”
Chen Shilu kept his face tight and ran away from Jiang Chao’s arm calmly: “Maybe the friendship between people is not measured by the length of time they have known each other.”
“You’re right. Some people just hit it off right away and are particularly compatible with them.”
Chen Shilu sighed secretly. He and Chi Huang really fit together perfectly, just like matching screws and nuts.
“You should be a little older than Chi Huang, right?”
Chen Shilu hummed twice perfunctorily.
“Looks like twenty-seven or eight?”
He followed suit and said, “Absolutely.”
“It’s amazing. I feel like your mind is much more mature than your age. You are a stable person.”
Chen Shilu thought to himself, no, he had a mind in his thirties, and it was only the eldest brother’s bad eyesight that made him look like he was in his twenties.
Jiang Chao suddenly sighed: “Chi Huang is still in his twenties and has been doing nothing. He has no plan in life. I am quite worried about him. I am relieved to see that he has made a reliable friend like you. Since he clings to you and convinces you, I will trouble you to remind him more in the future to stop him from being so unreliable.”
Chen Shilu agreed, but thought in his heart that it was just as he guessed. This eldest brother really treated Chi Huang as his son, otherwise he wouldn’t have said these words.
“I think his character is inseparable from the death of his parents. He lost his family at a very young age, and the connection with the world is very weak, and his heart is prone to emptiness. Preaching is useless, and he doesn’t understand the truth. All of this requires him to find an anchor in this world, so that he can slowly establish a stable and sound mental state.”
Chen Shilu wanted to say that for a person like Chi Huang, the relationship between friends was too weak and was of no use in stabilizing his mind. Moreover, he was not even a friend.
However, elders like Jiang Chao who play a guiding role are very much needed by Chi Huang.
Jiang Chao didn’t say anything. Chen Shilu turned around and saw the surprised look on his face, which made him a little embarrassed: “I just said it casually.”
“No, I think your analysis of that kid was spot on.” Jiang Chao touched his chin and frowned, “But he told you about his parents? You shouldn’t. He usually refuses to tell you. We’ve known each other for several years, so I forced it out of his mouth.”
“Is that so?” Chen Shilu remembered that Chi Huang said it casually both times, and there was no sign that he was unwilling to mention it. “I didn’t know that I couldn’t mention it. When I heard him mention it, his tone was very normal. I thought he had already come out.”
“It’s not that he hasn’t come out yet. He always mentions it when he is flirting with women. He uses this matter to gain sympathy and avoid responsibility. In the final analysis, he just doesn’t like people close to him to see him through colored glasses. It seems that you are very special to him, so he will take the initiative to talk to you about this.”
Chen Shilu quickly extracted the key information from the chat. He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: “So that’s it.”
The moment when Chi Akira calmly and melancholy narrates his story under the starry sky must be to gain sympathy.
As for putting aside responsibility, he would probably attribute his callousness and frivolity to his status as an orphan when he wants to end it and meets someone he can’t get rid of.
Chen Shilu is still in the stage of “gaining sympathy”, but Chen Shilu is very confident that he will not pester him to the extent of asking him to use his deceased parents to make a fuss.
I have to say that this trick is quite effective. If Chen Shilu believed it and felt pity for him, I am afraid that few people would be indifferent to his words.
It was rare for Jiang Chao to meet someone who could share his worries about Chi Huang and chatter all the way.
Back at the camp, it was still not too hot in the morning, so Chen Shilu went to the tent to rest.He couldn’t sleep, so he closed his eyes and listened to music, feeling a little upset.
He doesn’t like to trick others, nor does he like to be tricked.
No matter what type of “friend” Chen Shilu focuses on is sincerity, even if sometimes he seems a little unhuman in order to maintain this sincerity.
He also hates misunderstandings and speculations, so he is not sensitive to those tricks of refusing to welcome, or giving in to lust.
But Chi Huang still liked it and secretly tried to control his emotions several times.I wonder if he is used to hooking up with people in this way and has developed this kind of inertia, or is he deliberately playing with his thoughts?
Not long after, bursts of cheers and shouts came from the camp, penetrating Chen Shilu’s headphones.Needless to say, the game must have started, and the big screen started live broadcast.
One yard for another, since he promised Chi Huang that he would watch him play.
Chen Shilu came out of the tent, put on a sun-visible hat, walked to the bottom of the screen, and squeezed into the cheering crowd.
At the beginning of the game, the screen showed a panoramic shot from high altitude, the empty and desolate Gobi desert, and the scattered motorcycles looked like tiny ants.
The camera cuts to a medium and close shot, where the rider on the car can be clearly seen and the roar of the vehicle can be heard.The gravel that was run over by the wheel hub and hit the camera lens was as hard as being hit on the face.
Suddenly, a moving motorcycle was caught off guard and it flipped forward 180 degrees, throwing the rider several meters away.
The crowd watching took a breath of cold air. Chen Shilu was shocked and subconsciously leaned back.
He knew that riding a motorcycle was dangerous, but his imagination was nowhere near as impactful as seeing it with his own eyes.
The commentator’s voice suddenly became urgent: “Driver No. 161 lost control and overturned! The situation is serious. The medical team has been dispatched urgently. This player may regretfully retire from the race. Now the replay camera zooms in – pay attention to the hidden ravine on the road!
“Contestant No. 052 is passing through the accident section now!Can this veteran who is known for his stability…beautiful!The front wheel cleared the ditch perfectly, but wait—the rear wheel hit!Still crashed!Don’t panic!He got up, only lost some time, the game can continue!
“Look! Rider No. 222 is approaching the ditch! He obviously discovered the hidden danger, so he suddenly stood up and rode to raise his center of gravity – he accelerated and sprinted! Choose the high slope on the right to use force – take off!! The motorcycle leaps into the air! The landing is perfect! Textbook-level obstacle crossing skills! Amazing!!”
The crowd burst into applause, and Chen Shilu was actually breaking into a cold sweat.
Even though the riders were tightly wrapped in various protective gears, he could tell that rider No. 222 was Chi Huang.
