Chapter 4·Friends
“Deng, Deng, Deng…”
It was dawn, and an alarm bell rang. Pang Whale quickly opened his eyes and closed them, then turned over and stood up.
I have to get up early today to get vaccinated, and I have to go to the swimming team.
Pang Jing casually grabbed some clothes and put them on, carefully getting out of bed to avoid waking up his roommates. The courses for active athletes are arranged according to the training plan, and they can be elective or exempt. His time often does not match up with everyone’s, so he can only try not to disturb them.
Pang Whale took a look and saw that there was no noise. Xingxing was snoring on the bed next to him, while the twins on the opposite side were sleeping together in their arms.
It’s a bit funny to see these two people. Yesterday, Jing Hefei was drinking on Jing Yao’s bed, but he knocked it over. Jing Yao was so angry that he wanted to go out and rent a room. Jing He apologized a lot before letting his brother stay in bed with him.
“Just go, don’t forget to have dinner together tonight.” Jing Yao still heard some noise, broke away from Octopus’s brother’s tight hands and feet, rubbed his eyes and softly reminded Pang Whale.
Today is Xie Xingxing’s birthday. We agreed to have dinner together yesterday. Pang Jing nodded and quickly washed up and went out.
When we arrived at the epidemic prevention station, it had just opened. Pang Whale was the first patient. The scratches on his hands had scabbed over and should be healed in two days.But thinking about the worried look on the round head, it would be more reassuring to get an injection.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived and just threw the cotton swab used to press the pinhole into the trash can when he received a WeChat message from the little painter.
Little painter: “Good morning, sunshine emoji”
Little painter: “When are you going to get the injection? Smile emoji”
Qi Zhixuan was brushing his teeth in a daze in the morning when he suddenly remembered this important event. He quickly picked up his mobile phone to find the whale avatar and asked someone to get an injection. If he didn’t know when the other person would go out, he would have wanted to wait at the door of their school.
Little Painter: “If you want to go, you can tell me on WeChat and we will go together.”
: “The fight is over, no need to accompany me.”
Little Painter: “Huh? I’ve just finished playing. If I had known, I would have waited for you at the school gate.”
Pang Jing suddenly laughed. He didn’t know what this man was obsessed with. He kept saying that he wanted to accompany him. Was he afraid that he would be infected with the mad cat disease and taste all mankind if he didn’t get an injection?
Little Painter: “WeChat transfer 1,500 yuan.”
I didn’t expect the other party to go out so early. I remembered that the other party was just a student. If I couldn’t accompany him, I would have to pay out the money anyway.
Little painter: “Why don’t you accept it?”
After a while, the orange transfer was still hanging brightly.
Qi Zhixuan was a little anxious and began to feel annoyed again. He should have given money in person yesterday. It was a big sin to cause trouble to others and ask for money.
: “Payment received.”
Pang Jing didn’t want to accept it at first, but he found that this man always seemed to be frightened, as if it was not the cat that scratched him, but him himself.
After getting the injection and walking around a few streets, Pang Jing bought a few of Coach Pan’s favorite candy triangles and put them in his bag, preparing to go to the swimming team to make amends.
He thought about it all night last night. If he continued to freestyle in his current state, he would probably lose his arms and not be able to practice well. But he had been swimming for so many years, and it could be said that he had been doing it for most of his life. He really didn’t want to give up easily, so he could only change events first and try to participate in competitions to get results.
He sighed, even if it was to give himself one more chance, he would slowly recover and see if he could continue freestyle.
The window of the swimming team is very large and bright. Facing the morning sun, the water surface is sparkling. A group of people are stretching inside, and their movements are not sluggish.
Coach Pan was staring at the pool, and out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of the stubborn fish from yesterday, and saw him striding toward him.
“Coach, have breakfast.”
When I glanced sideways, I saw it was my favorite candy triangle.
Pan Xiuping wanted to wait for a while and ignored him, but the boy apologized sincerely.
“Coach, I’m sorry. I figured it out. It was my fault yesterday. I didn’t think about it. Everything you said is right. I listen to you. Please forgive me.”
“Humph.” Seeing that he had a good attitude, Pan Xiuping didn’t feel too embarrassed. He walked away with his candy triangle and said vaguely while eating:
“Wouldn’t it be better to do this earlier? Brat, give the data to the team doctor after practice… first make a preliminary… training plan so that it can match your school’s curriculum… get out of here.”
Pang Jing listened and saw that the coach didn’t seem to be angry and rolled away quickly.
After the day’s training was over, Pang Whale took his updated data, wiped the water, put on his slippers, and prepared to go to the team doctor to make a plan.
Unexpectedly, they met on a narrow road and saw a person who was as annoying as a mouse, his teammate Shao Ke.
“Hey, Brother Pang can go into the water?”
“It’s not easy. It’s uncomfortable to stare at the pool for so long.” The other party smiled, but in his eyes it was a rat squeaking. Resisting the urge to crush his head, Pang Jing snorted coldly.
This man didn’t mind Pang Jing’s attitude, and still said with a smile: “I heard that Brother Pang is going to change sports. I wish you can return to the competition soon.” As he left, he didn’t forget to bump Pang Jing’s shoulder.
Childish, Pang Jing continued to move forward speechlessly, not willing to pay attention to him at all.
Originally, both of them were freestyle swimmers. Although they were not the same coach, they were on the same swimming team. If they looked up and saw each other, their relationship would not be much different.
But the bad thing is that the two people’s scores are close. Although in competitive sports, each has his own ability, Shao Ke will show off every time his scores are good, and he will show off his nose to his weak teammates when his scores are bad.
Pang Jing looked down upon his behavior and never dealt with him.
In addition, in the previous national team selection, there was only one spot, and Pang Jing won. The big rat also complained that the water in the pool was too cold and he didn’t perform well and wanted to come back. Many teammates laughed at him and let him know. It was all Pang Jing’s fault, and the relationship between the two became even worse.
But there was no need to argue this time. Although Shao Ke was mean, he was the most stable freestyle swimmer in the team besides himself. Pang Jing felt a wave of unwillingness in his heart and suppressed it forcefully.
By the time the team doctor finished making the plan, it was already dusk. Standing in front of the swimming pool glass, Pang Jing could see the sunset turning the clouds red, but there was no warmth, and he only felt empty in his heart.
It took more than ten years of hard work to get to where I am today, and I got this result. But if I had to do it all over again…
Coach Pan walked over and saw Pang Jing’s reluctance, patted him on the shoulder and said.
“If you try your best, you won’t have any regrets.”
Pang Whale gritted his teeth and said nothing. Let’s try it first.
The cell phone dinged several times, and the dormitory group was already asking him when he would be back. Life had to go on, so he put his bag in his bag and said goodbye to the coach and quickly caught the bus back to school.
They met again at Wanwanxiang. Xie Xingxing really loved the hoof flowers at this place. If no one stopped him, he could eat a whole one. The three of them in the dormitory were looking for seats. Pang Jing came late and went to a nearby bakery to pick up cakes.
“Boss, get the cake.” As soon as Pang Jing walked into the cake shop and took out the reservation form, he saw the person who said hello on his mobile phone in the morning standing in front of him.
Qi Zhixuan is coming over to deliver the plates. He likes sweets, and every time Chen Runsong makes something new, he will give it to him to try.
“Hi, how are your hands?” Qi Zhixuan was a little surprised when he saw the person coming and said hello to him.
“Oh, it’s okay.” Pang Jing showed the scratch to the other person. He wanted to show him that it was almost healed, but he didn’t expect that the scar that had been soaked in water turned soft and bright red. Qi Zhixuan frowned after reading it.
“I trained today, swimming. I won’t practice for the next two days. I’ll be fine soon.” Pang Jing hurriedly retracted his hand to explain, and then watched his brows slowly relax. In fact, he still had to practice, but it was really nothing serious.
“Is it your birthday today?” Qi Zhixuan looked at the list in his hand.
“No, my roommate.”
Chen Runsong was taking the cake out of the refrigerator and packaging it, yellow and star-shaped.
“Hey, if I told you that you know each other, I can give you a discount when I collect the money. No, I will give you a small one. I wish your classmate a happy birthday, handsome boy.”
Watching the two chatting, Chen Runsong took out another small cake from the counter and raised his eyebrows at Pang Jing.
“Oh…thank you boss, I’ll go first then.” Pang Jing said goodbye to the two of them politely while holding the cake, and then glanced at Chen Runsong’s hand that was intimately placed on Qi Zhixuan’s shoulder, and couldn’t help but guess what the relationship between the two was.
“So handsome, Xiao Xuan! How did we meet him?” As soon as Pang Jing left, Chen Runsong immediately bumped into Qi Zhixuan’s shoulder and asked enthusiastically.
After all, Qi Zhixuan has never been very familiar with anyone. This person is like an endangered plant. He usually survives in the world like a solitary seedling, opening a shop and getting off work, day after day.
Apart from looking at other people’s paintings, he didn’t have any other hobbies, and I never heard him talk about his family or friends. Only a senior sister came to see him twice.
I originally thought she was his girlfriend, but I didn’t expect Qi Zhixuan to say that he likes boys. Senior sister’s non-marriage policy and so on, there should be no misunderstanding.
Qi Zhixuan looked at his gossipy eyes and could only briefly talk about the opportunity for the two to get to know each other. Chen Runsong was amazed.
“Hehe, he’s very good-looking, and he’s also very caring. What do you think, are you interested? Do you want to help you chase her~ Or I can do it myself, hehe.”
Chen Runsong still admires Qi Zhixuan, and the two of them are good friends. He is usually alone and looks a little melancholy, so when he sees something good, he wonders if he can find him a companion, so that his life will not be too boring.
“Stop talking about Songsong. I don’t even know if she is. You can’t make such a joke.” Qi Zhixuan suddenly became serious. It is difficult to say about sexual orientation…
Some people would shy away just listening to it. Although Pang Whale doesn’t look like the kind of person who discriminates against others, it’s better to be cautious.
“I know! I’m just kidding, he looks like he’s only twenty at most. I don’t like children either. I’m more attracted to mature and handsome guys~”
As soon as Chen Runsong finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside, including Pang Jing’s loud voice.
Feeling something was wrong, the two looked at each other and quickly went out.
“What a sissy, you’re just a coward. Hahaha. I don’t want many of the shoes I’ve worn. Just pay 3,000.”
“What the hell did you call him! Apologize!!”
As soon as the two of them left the cake shop, they heard a roar.
At the entrance of Wanwanxiang, two groups of tall people were facing each other. If you look closely, you will see that they are Pang Jing and the others.
There were four people on Pang Jing’s side, probably him and his roommate, and four or five people on the opposite side. One of them screamed the most fiercely, and was pulled by the people behind him, while the boss also whispered advice.
When he got closer, he looked very arrogant. He was about the same height as a giant whale. He had an American spike on his head. He looked impatient. His basketball vest was being pulled by his teammates. The strings of bird songs tattooed on his arms were particularly eye-catching. He was babbling about something and the stool next to him had fallen over.
In fact, when Pang Whale came out just now, there was already friction here. The reason was that there were many people at night. The boss set up a table outside, and Jing Yao moved a chair out from inside, accidentally stepping on the Bird Whisperer’s foot.
He didn’t leave any mark, and it wasn’t intentional. He apologized in a good voice and thought it was over. Unexpectedly, this man refused to let Jing Yao clean him up.
Jing Yao felt that this man was looking for trouble, so he asked him to take out his mobile phone to scan the code and said that he bought his shoes because he wanted him to go barefoot, so don’t force him.
Niaoyuren didn’t hear the end of his words, thinking that the other person was scared. Seeing Jing Yao dressed in a neutral style, he laughed at him for being a sissy and being timid.
Well, when Jing He heard this, he quit and lifted up the other party’s collar angrily.
“Let go! Jing He” Jing Yao pulled away his brother’s hand and distanced the two of them.
“What’s the matter, you want to fight! Who’s afraid of whom? You’re a damn fat guy and a sissy, how can you win?”
Taking advantage of the large number of people on his side, Bird Whisperer yelled louder and more arrogantly, and there were even more people watching.
“Hey…you have such a stinky mouth…”
Fat guy?Xie Xingxing was originally trying to persuade Jing He, but now he was stabbed inexplicably, so he stopped trying. He thought that if he had a shot put in his hand, he would smash his head to pieces.
“Hey, Boss Wan, it’s quite lively and business is booming.”
Chen Runsong walked over with his arms folded, two small pear dimples looming on his face, looking at the children who were watching the firecrackers as if they were watching a show, and even made fun of the anxious boss Wanwanxiang.
“Alas! I mean, Boss Chen, that’s what you said.”
Boss Wan was speechless and sweating profusely. Young people are inherently impulsive. At first glance, these people were from the sports school. They were all tall and strong, and he couldn’t hold them back.
“Xiao Xuan, have you called the police?” Chen Runsong asked behind him.
“Report it. I said someone was beating and extorting people here. The amount amounted to three thousand, which constitutes the crime of extortion. The police will be here soon.” Qi Zhixuan took the mobile phone and walked up to Bird Whisperer and stared at his shoes.
Why are they here?
Pang Jing looked at the two of them and pursed his lips.
The bird whisperer on the side was looked at by Qi Zhixuan. He shrank his feet, raised his fists and yelled at the top of his voice, “Who the hell are you calling blackmail!”
Seeing that something was wrong, Pang Jing quickly stepped forward and pulled Qi Zhixuan, blocking him in front of him and warning him with sharp eyes.
Qi Zhixuan poked his head from behind Pang Jing, “The mesh is loose, the embroidery is uneven, the color is wrong, it’s fake, it’s not worth three thousand.”
“Fuck you!” The angry man wanted to take action again, but Pang Jing was ready to attack him.
“Hey, hey, if you dare to take action, the police will be here soon. If you beat people and blackmail them, you will definitely go to jail. I warn you with tears behind bars.”
Qi Zhixuan held Pang Jing back to prevent him from coming forward. Chen Runsong also raised his finger to warn the Bird Whisperer, and threatened the helpers at every turn, saying that they were accomplices.
“How about… let’s go! We don’t want to be the same as them.”
“Yeah, the police will come soon and really want to enter the oranges.”
The few people around Bird Whisperer felt a little headache when they saw more and more people around them. They didn’t want to escalate the conflict. It would be troublesome if they really entered.
“I suggest you take him away. It won’t be easy to talk to the police when they come later.” Chen Runsong gave these people a warning look.
The Bird Whisperer raised his eyes and wanted to curse, but his companion looked like a human being and carried him away one by one.
“Let go…c, don’t think I’m afraid of you, just wait and see, I’ll mess with you…” The Bird Whisperer couldn’t break away from his companion’s iron pincers, but he didn’t forget to output the c language when he was pulled away. Chen Runsong rubbed his ears.
“Brother Pang, should we go…”
Xingxing watched the people on the other side leave and was a little worried, fearing that the police would come to question them. What happened if they went in for a good birthday?
“Don’t worry, I lied to them and didn’t call the police.”
Qi Zhixuan replied with a smile, and together with Chen Runsong, he helped up the stools scattered around.
“Boss Wan, please invite the guests to take their seats. If you wait around for a while, the police will come.”
Boss Wan responded repeatedly and evacuated the people around him.
“Ah? You are bluffing, hahaha, you scared me.”
“Hey…do you know each other?”
Xingxing smiled innocently, thinking about Gang Pang Whale protecting this person, and later realized that he seemed to know him.
“Well, he’s my friend.” Pang Jing followed suit and looked at Qi Zhixuan after speaking. Well, he was still smiling.
“Thank you very much. Let’s stay and eat together.”
Jing Yao said something and then started to spin in circles. He was pushed by the Bird Whisperer before. Jing He looked nervously and checked whether his brother was injured. Jing Yao had to spin in circles to show that he was intact.
Qi Zhixuan waved his hand, “No need, we…”
“Yes, yes, thanks to you, I didn’t smash my birthday today. I don’t want to see the police uncle on the first day of my birthday.” Xingxing picked up an overturned stool on the ground, patted the dust, and placed it in front of Qi Zhixuan.
“Hey, it’s your birthday. I made this cake. I didn’t expect to get to eat the customer’s cake, haha.”
Qi Zhixuan wanted to refuse, but Xingxing took him directly to the stool and sat down. Chen Runsong also sat down comfortably. Now Qi Zhixuan couldn’t refuse, so he had to agree.
They were all young people and got to know each other quickly. They sat and chatted for a while, flipping through the menu and starting to order.
Xingxing was the first to choose his favorite hoof flower, Jing He reported a few of his brother’s favorites, and the rest of the group also picked a few. Chen Runsong specifically asked not to eat the dishes with garlic. Qi Zhixuan pulled Chen Runsong and said it was not necessary, and whispered that it would be fine to eat a few dishes without garlic.
“Oh, it’s okay. If you don’t want garlic, leave it alone. This one is delicious even without garlic! Let me tell you, this one…” Xingxing began to promote his beloved hoof flowers again.
Pang Jing quietly looked at the two people. It turned out that Qi Zhixuan didn’t eat garlic. He knew this. It seemed that Boss Chen was really familiar with him.
Since they had to go to school and work the next day, no one ordered wine, but the food tasted quite good and several people enjoyed it.
Xie Xingxing and Chen Runsong were like half-brothers. They chatted without stopping and chatted for a whole time. It was lively. When they were about to leave after eating, they couldn’t tell each other. They exchanged words with each other on WeChat.
Several people were waiting for them to finish chatting and go back. The twin brother was scolding his younger brother for giving him too many dishes at the table, which made him gain weight.
Qi Zhixuan waited quietly on the other side.
Pang Jing looked at him, rubbed his fingers for a while, and decided to thank him alone.
“Thank you for today.” Pang Whale walked over and looked at him and said.
“It’s okay, we didn’t do anything. Why did we thank you again and again? Didn’t you say we are friends?” Qi Zhixuan looked over with a smile, only to realize that this man’s eyes were very beautiful and bright, and they were bright at night.
Pang Jing nodded and said, “Well, yes, friends, let’s have dinner together next time we have a chance.”
“Okay, I’ll go first then. My store is almost closed, so I have to go back and clean up.”
Chen Runsong had finished chatting with his good brother Xingxing, and Qi Zhixuan also planned to go back to the store. Everyone said hello to each other and left.
Pang Whale took a few steps towards the school and couldn’t help but look back. Well, he still had the same round head.
