The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 15

Badminton

An Yu cooked the porridge early in the morning, but the smell was bland. Shen Luo peeled off the bed sleepily, came to the dining table and sat down. He looked at the yellow millet porridge in front of him, expressionless and motionless, and thought to himself: “Porridge, you have less money than me?”

An Yu looked at him and felt a little uneasy. She stood aside and slowly tightened her grip on the apron, “Don’t like porridge? I’ve been cooking it for a long time.”

“It’s too hot. Let’s drink it later.”

Shen Luo looked at the sun hanging high outside and the clock approaching eleven o’clock, picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

“Liang Qian called you just now… let’s go play ball.”

An Yu put away his dishes like a good family man, and Shen Luo said hesitantly, “I don’t want to go, it’s too hot.”

Liang Qian packed up his equipment enthusiastically, admiring his handsomeness in front of the mirror, and sneezed unprepared. There was still takeout on the table, so he packed it up randomly, put his racket on his back and went out.

He heard this sentence when he came to the door. He immediately kicked the door in and almost threw the racket in his face. He threatened: “You have to go today, and you have to go even if you don’t go.”

Shen Luo looked at the badminton racket in front of him with a troubled expression on his face and said, “I don’t know how. It’s just a decoration if I go. It’s better not to go.”

Seeing that he was too tough, Liang Qian immediately used his special move: “I used to accompany you in whatever you wanted to do, but now things have changed. Times have changed, and people have also changed…”

Shen Luo couldn’t stand Liang Qian’s words, so he immediately relaxed and said, “Okay, okay, go, I’ll go, don’t do this.”

Shen Luo didn’t need to prepare anything. Liang Qian brought all the equipment. An Yu came out of the kitchen and took off her apron and said, “Are you going to the sports center?”

“Yeah, I only have one pair of shots, can we take turns?”

An Yu suddenly remembered that he had a friend who happened to have a couple, so he picked up the phone and called, and heard the other party’s lazy voice.

“Ayi, do you have a badminton racket? Send it to me.”

“Heh, that’s from my collection. I lent it to you because I lost my mind?”

Zhuang Yi felt that his brain must have been frozen because he knew that his collection would never be loaned out easily.

The next second, An Yu made an offer that he couldn’t refuse: “I haven’t had time to drive my car recently. It’s gathering dust at home.”

“Three months.”

“Deal.”

“Come on, address.”

Zhuang Yi felt that hesitating for a second was disrespectful to the car. The value of the car itself was not in his eyes. It was only slightly modified by An Yu, and its performance soared. Especially the wheels of the car, which were designed by An Yu himself, were unique.Zhuang Yi borrowed it several times without success, and almost asked someone to smash his car. He finally got this opportunity, and he couldn’t let it go. He originally thought that An Yu would bargain, but he didn’t expect to agree so readily. He immediately regretted not saying it for a year.

He immediately took the racket and went to change the car keys. They had not arrived when Zhuang Yi arrived. The waiting process was long and tiring, and the sunglasses in his hands were almost patinated. Then he stuck the sunglasses behind his ears with his backhand, started the car and was about to leave, when someone knocked on the glass.

“You came here on a snail’s shell, so slow.” Zhuang Yi was extremely angry after waiting for such a long time.

“Stop talking nonsense.”

Throwing the key in from the car window, Zhuang Yi reached out to catch it. The moment he got the key, all the anger he had felt was forgotten, and he carefully put it into his pocket.

“The location will be sent to you shortly.”

“Come on, you have fun, my company has left early.”

Zhuang Yi couldn’t wait to experience the new car and drove away.

The three people came to the badminton hall. Although it was noon, it was full of people. A few people walked to the end, where it was separated and there was no one inside. Liang Qian took off his equipment to warm up and prepare to play. Liang Qian looked at the two people provocatively and said.

“Which one of you comes first will see me blow you up.”

Shen Luo waved his hand and said, “I can’t do it, you can just play and I’ll study next to you.”

The sound of the two’s ball and racket colliding resounded throughout the space. The ball was like a little girl wearing a tutu who was afraid that she would be disfigured if she fell to the ground. They could always save her at the critical moment and then throw a perfect arc.

Shen Luo sat on the lounge chair and looked around boredly. It was empty and there was no one except them. He stood up and walked outside. When he opened the door, he informed them, “I’m going out. Do you want a drink of water?”

“Okay.”

Shen Luo walked around the venue, came to a self-service vending machine, and carefully selected. Suddenly, a person came from behind. Shen Luo panicked and didn’t dare to look back. He bought some water and left in a hurry.

Returning to the court dripping with sweat, they got off the court, sat on the floor, and took a deep breath. Liang Qian looked at him and asked, “Have you learned the lesson?”

“No, you can do your own thing and don’t worry about me.” Shen Luo didn’t want to exercise today, he just wanted to lie down.

“Try it, it’s very easy.”

An Yu said and pulled out another racket. Liang Qian saw this and took back his own. Shen Luo tried two balls, but he really didn’t have any strength. He either hung on the net or hit the boundary, which made Shen Luo not in the mood to play anymore.

“I told you I don’t know how to play, so you go ahead and play while I go out for a breather.”

An Yu wanted to catch up and Liang Qian called him out, “Let him go alone, otherwise no one will play with me.”

As soon as he went out, the crackling sound outside attracted him. Shen Luo found a good seat and sat down. He stared at one place for a long time. No one even knew when someone sat next to him. The man waved his hand in front of Shen Luo’s eyes, and Shen Luo came back to his senses.

Seeing that the man kept looking at him, Shen Luo thought that he had done something wrong. He stood up and apologized to him in a soft tone.

“Sorry, I thought there was no one here, so…”

The man said “Ah”, stood up and took Shen Luo’s wrist to sit down. He said awkwardly: “I didn’t say you were in the wrong position. I just saw that you kept looking at me like that. I thought something was wrong with you, so I came down to take a look.”

“No, no, I don’t mean anything. I was just a little lost. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. I’m tired anyway. Let’s take a rest. Sit down quickly.”

The boy always had a smile, with a row of teeth clearly exposed. There was a hollow on his cheek, which was very similar to Liang Qian’s pear dimple. The only difference was that no matter what he said with his face in his face, he seemed to have no deterrent effect. Shen Luo observed that his chest was soaked and his collar was loose and hanging down.

“Are you here to play ball?”

The boy kept talking like a chatterbox. Shen Luo couldn’t bear to interrupt him and felt very guilty. When he asked questions, he answered him in a friendly manner.

“Yes.”

“Then why don’t you see your friend?” The boy looked around and said, “I have basically met everyone here, there is no one who is too strange.”

“They’re inside.” Shen Luo pointed to the place behind the door.

The boy smiled brightly and said, “No wonder.”

The atmosphere reached a deadlock again. The boy gathered up his courage, clutched the racket tightly in his hand, and said, “How about we go have a game.”

Shen Luo stammered and declined: “I…I don’t know how.”

The boy had already pulled him up and put a pair of rackets in his hands. He said, “It’s okay. I’ll teach you. It’s very simple.”

“The grip is divided into forehand grip and backhand grip. If you hold the racket on the forehand, put your palm down, place your thumb and index finger on both sides of the racket face, and put the remaining three fingers on the bottom of the handle, just like I do now.”

The boy explained and demonstrated to him. Shen Luo imitated his holding posture. The boy checked his forehand grip and then said: “If you hold the racket backhand, you only need to rotate the handle outward with your thumb and index finger, and then the top of the thumb is on the wide surface or the inner edge of the handle, and the remaining three fingers are held together to hold the handle, with the inner end of the handle close to the base of the little finger, just like what I have in my hand.”

Shen Luo was a little confused by what he said, and could only watch the movements of his hand. The boy saw that he was holding it wrong, so he took his hand and said, “No, you have to turn it like this and then hold the handle with these three fingers together.”

As soon as he learned it, a ridiculing voice rushed out, and Liang Qian’s whole body looked like he was being pushed in the water to swim around.

“Hey, didn’t you just say that you can’t fight? Why did you start working hard as soon as you came out? Isn’t it because the two of us can’t teach you?”

Shen Luo’s palms were sweating and he denied, “No, why don’t you continue?”

“I’m hungry. How can I still have the strength to continue?” Liang Qian threw his backpack onto his shoulder.

“Let’s go, let’s eat first.” An Yu didn’t look happy. Shen Luo thought he was hungry and hurriedly returned the things in his hand to the boy.

The boy immediately grabbed him, raised his phone and said, “How about we add a WeChat account? If you have time next time and want to play this, you can come to me. I have plenty of time.”

An Yu just wanted to go up and stop them, but Shen Luo was afraid of delaying their meal, so he agreed and left after sweeping.

Liang Qian sneered and looked the boy up and down. The boy with thin arms and legs was pretty good, but he was still far behind him.

The boy noticed his gaze and looked at him doubtfully. He seemed to be smiling and said, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s okay, let’s go first.”

After saying that, he walked away with his head held high.

An Yu looked serious when he came out of the gym. No matter what Shen Luo said, he only responded lightly.

“What do you want to eat?”

An Yu: “I’m not hungry.”

“Didn’t you just say that you were too hungry to play ball?” Shen Luo said.

“I’m not hungry anymore.”

Liang Qian put the big and small bags into the car and said, “Oh, if you follow me, you won’t go hungry.”

When he got home in the evening, Shen Luo still felt that the atmosphere today was a bit strange. He scratched his head and head for a long time and couldn’t figure out the reason. He also felt that he had been staring at her, and whenever there was any movement, he would look forward to it and want to lie down next to him.

“Ding~”

A message alert came from Shen Luo’s cell phone. An Yu’s hand moved for a moment, but Shen Luo thought it was a spam text message and did not read it immediately. He yawned and slowly picked up the phone to unlock it. It was a message from the boy this afternoon.

An Yu saw Shen Luo tapping away on his cell phone, and couldn’t hold back his desire to explore and said, “Who sent this message that is so difficult to reply to?”

“That’s the boy who was at the stadium this afternoon.” Shen Luo said casually.

“Oh.”

“He asked me when I would have time?” Shen Luo asked An Yu to help him with his phone without knowing why.

At this time, An Yu rolled his eyes and thought to himself, “This boy really has no eyesight. I really want to punch him and send him flying to the next city.”

But he still pretended to be thoughtful and said: “For now, don’t put your energy on unimportant people and things. You are so smart that you can definitely take care of it.”

Shen Luo handed the phone to An Yu and said, “Why don’t you send it, I worry too much.”

Hearing this, An Yu was secretly happy, but still refused, took his phone and typed out a sentence quickly, then clicked send without hesitation.At a casual glance, I saw the very passionate chat record between him and Shen Luo.

He reluctantly returned the phone to Shen Luo. His face was so disgusting that he could go to Changsha to sell tofu. Shen Luo exited the chat box without looking at it. He raised his eyes and saw his ugly face and asked, “What’s wrong with you? You look a little unhappy.”

An Yu was very angry. Only now did he see that something was wrong. If it had been anyone else, he would have run away. Just when he was about to speak, he smelled the fragrance of Shen Luo’s body. Most of his anger was extinguished in an instant. He pointed at Shen Luo’s mobile phone and said unwillingly: “Do you like him?”

Shen Luo thought this was nonsense and asked: “I have no reason to hate him. I just met him once today. Maybe I won’t recognize him next time.”

The last sentence was true. Shen Luo had forgotten his appearance. Even if that person was standing in front of him right now, he wouldn’t recognize him.

“He likes you, can’t you see?”

“Ah?” Shen Luo felt that he was too suspicious, so he smiled helplessly and said, “No, how can you tell? Besides, I don’t like him.”

An Yu hugged him and said, “Can you stop liking other people?”

Shen Luo asked in confusion: “Who do I like?”

An Yu nestled on the back of his neck like a teased kitten and refused to raise his head, whimpering: “It’s everyone else except me.”

“No way.”

An Yu suddenly raised his head, turned him to face her, looked at him with bright eyes, and asked, “Why?”

“Because I still like my grandpa, grandma, my godfather, godmother, many, many more, but you are not the only one.”

“That’s okay.”

“…”

Shen Luo coaxed him like a child, coaxing him in just a few words.

“I’m handsome, I’m rich, and I know how to love people. You should like me.”

“Okay.”
