Chapter 3 The Big Secret of Nonsense Conjecture 2
In the underground parking lot of the City Center Hospital.
Gu Nan was holding a paper bag filled with ointment in his hand, with a smirk on his face. He opened the passenger door of the red Porsche and waved the paper bag in front of Yuan Ye: "Do you need my help?"
Yuan Ye was leaning back in his chair with a tired look on his face. When he heard Gu Nan's voice, he just calmly opened his eyes. His messy hair was scattered randomly, casting a faint shadow on his eyelids, making the dark circles under his eyes more obvious.
"No need." He gave a brief answer, and at the same time quickly pulled over the medicine bag and began to look through it casually.
"Okay, okay, you're such a capable person so of course you don't need any help." Gu Nan shrugged nonchalantly, turned back to the driver's seat, and continued to take out the key ring and dangle it between his fingertips. "Can you tell me now? Is what Ye Xiaoling said true? Did she take down your tracking plan before it even succeeded?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise in his ears!
Yuan Ye's hands suddenly tightened, and he clenched the paper bag into a small ball!
He glanced at Gu Nan, who was still smiling brightly, and said through gritted teeth: "How would I know that she would notice my actions? If she hadn't come to make trouble, maybe we could have confirmed Luanma's identity today."
Gu Nan chuckled and replied leisurely: "No, maybe this is a good thing."
"Good news?" Yuan Ye's tone became a little serious. "Is that why you took the initiative to leave your business card?"
Gu Nan nodded and continued to play with the keychain in his hand. He said absentmindedly: "I have investigated for so long and spent so much time. I finally found a breakthrough from the garbled account and found relevant clues on Ling Zheng. I didn't expect you to be so anxious to confirm that he was garbled. You followed him for no reason. It would be strange if you didn't suspect me!"
In the darkness, a suspicious blush flashed across Yuan Ye's cheeks, but his voice remained calm: "It's better to strike first, isn't it?"
"Luanma" is one of the most popular e-sports stars in the world, but his identity has always been a mystery. Apart from playing games, he only appears in his own game videos. Unfortunately, even the sound in the video has been processed, and it is impossible to distinguish between men and women, so no one knows his true face...
What kind of person is he with such amazing operating skills?
If this person joins his team, he can not only provide technical guidance and training to the team members, but most importantly, he can greatly enhance the reputation of "Nirvana".
If such a terrifying master of operations was poached by someone else in advance...
In the darkness, a star-like cold light slowly emerged in Yuan Ye's eyes, which was then replaced by determination.
He would never let this happen!
Gu Nan stopped what he was doing, glanced at him helplessly and said, "Well, even if you are right, we can't rush into things. Since Ye Xiaoling calls Ling Zheng Senior Brother, it means they have a very good relationship. We..."
"We'll go to Huayuan Pavilion tomorrow." Yuan Ye quickly interrupted Gu Nan, rubbing the edge of the paper bag with his fingers, and his voice gradually became lowered, "We must dig out the identity of Luanma no matter what."
Gu Nan tilted his head to look at him and chuckled expectantly.
He was also very curious about the identity of this e-sports god!
"Oh, by the way, speaking of Ling Zheng, I have to mention again the violent girl who beat you up today..." Gu Nan suddenly seemed to remember something, and deliberately emphasized the word "beat up". "If you go to the Garden Pavilion tomorrow, you will meet her again, right?"
Thinking back to not long ago, Ye Xiaoling said sincerely that she wanted to take Yuan Ye to the hospital. His stomach... is now cramping from laughing!
Hearing Ye Xiaoling's name, Yuan Ye took a breath and a delicate doll-like face flashed before his eyes, followed by a sharp kick and an over-the-shoulder throw.
Oh no...why does my knee seem to hurt again?
"Shut up." He suppressed the trembling in his voice and uttered these two words coldly.
This kind of experience...he doesn't want to have it again!
6:30 pm.
On the other side of the city, the orange-red sunset dispelled the dull heat in the air, gorgeously and ostentatiously occupied a large area of the sky, and decorated this prosperous city into a dreamy fairy tale world.
The last class of the day at Huayuan Hall ended with the children's energetic farewells. Ye Xiaoling stood contentedly in front of the door of the gym, waving goodbye to a girl with a ponytail. She felt soft in her heart, as if all her worries had flown away, and even the air seemed to have become a hundred times fresher!
As expected... Huayuan Pavilion is the sacred land where she can relax the most!
Ye Xiaoling stretched her body again, turned around and wanted to clean up the messy practice field. When she handed Lu Yan's wallet over, a pungent smell suddenly wafted in the air!
Wait a moment!
Ye Xiaoling's face changed drastically, and she twisted her neck like a robot, carefully identifying the direction of the smell.
There's no mistake... Such a strong smell of alcohol, and choosing to appear at this time...
She sighed helplessly, put her hands behind her back and looked out the door.
really……
I saw a middle-aged man in a half-worn black and gray T-shirt with a flushed face, leaning limply against the door of Huayuan Pavilion, holding an empty bottle of wine in his hand.
His hair and temples had turned a little gray, and his sleepy, lifeless eyes made him look extremely vicissitudes of life and decadent.
Ye Xiaoling stood there silently for a while, and finally walked forward with some heartache, holding the man's shoulders firmly with both hands, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, why did you drink so much again?"
Fortunately, the children had already finished class at this time, otherwise they would definitely be scared seeing him like this, right?
"Xiao Ling..." Ye Hong's voice became unclear because he drank too much. "Just now, just now I dreamed of your mother again! She is still so beautiful! I dreamed of her when she won the championship in the Taekwondo competition. At that time, we were still senior and junior brothers and sisters..."
Mom?
Ye Xiaoling suddenly became a little dazed.
Although his mother passed away when he was very young, Ye Hong, who was addicted to alcohol, would tirelessly tell Ye Xiaoling stories about his mother over and over again every time he got drunk.
She is a gentle yet strong, kind but not principled woman.
She is also a "girl" who is innocent yet thoughtful.
She was also a mother who held Ye Xiaoling in her arms and shed tears of joy when she was born.
Ye Xiaoling could hardly remember what her mother looked like, and she had never felt the warmth of her mother's embrace. But whenever her father talked about the past, about her mother wearing a snow-white Taoist robe and standing heroically in the champion's position to accept everyone's cheers and blessings, she seemed to really see the beautiful face that had only appeared in photos.
Although this feeling was really strange, it always made her feel unusually warm.
Maybe... this is the power of family love?
Completely unaware of Ye Xiaoling's expression, Ye Hong shook the bottle in his hand and continued to speak intermittently: "When we first established Huayuan Hall, she told me so happily that we wanted to let all those who love Taekwondo learn the most useful things here, and let more people thoroughly understand the beauty of Taekwondo..." At this point, he stretched out his hand tremblingly and patted Ye Xiaoling on the shoulder, "You must not let her down!"
She had heard the same words countless times, but looking at her father's increasingly old face, Ye Xiaoling still felt her eyes sore and swollen. She choked and stretched out her voice: "Dad, I know, you should go back and rest quickly!"
His mother in heaven would probably feel sad seeing him like this, right?
Because of the effect of alcohol, Ye Hong didn't listen to Ye Xiaoling's words at all. He just muttered to himself about the little things he had experienced with his wife. Finally, with the help of Ye Xiaoling, he returned to the room, fell on the bed, and quickly fell asleep.
Ye Xiaoling stood quietly in the dark room for a while, first stepped forward to put away the wine bottle, and then left the room silently.
The pungent smell of alcohol still lingered in the air. Ye Xiaoling opened all the windows of the gym, leaned her head out, and breathed in deep gulps. A hint of hidden determination gradually gathered in her eyes, blending into the colors of dusk, becoming even more dazzling and moving.
it does not matter!
My father just hasn't gotten over the loss of my mother yet. If he had a little more time...
Ye Xiaoling clenched her fists as if to encourage herself, everything will be fine.
And... just like my mother said, the existence of Huayuanguan is to let more people understand the beauty of Taekwondo. As long as she is there, and with the efforts of the senior brother, everything will get better and better!
Thinking of this, her body, which had been exhausted to the extreme, seemed to be filled with new strength. Ye Xiaoling raised her hands and slapped her cheeks hard a few times, muttered "come on" repeatedly, then found the cleaning tools and began to wipe every mat in the hall clean!
Even if everyone falls down, she absolutely cannot do that!
It was already dark after cleaning the entire Huayuan Pavilion. After a simple dinner, Ye Xiaoling didn't even have the energy to play games. She collapsed on the bed and fell into a deep sleep not long after. Until the next morning, Ye Xiaoling, who was still immersed in the beautiful dream of "the official opening of the 28th Huayuan Pavilion chain store nationwide", was finally awakened by Ling Zheng's anxious call.
"Xiao Ling, are you still not awake?" Ling Zheng, who had already changed into his Taoist uniform, stood in front of the bedroom door and knocked on it worriedly. "The child is waiting outside!"
What?
Ye Xiaoling was startled and jumped up from the bed with messy hair. She quickly grabbed the alarm clock on the table and took a look. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat!
What's going on? It's already half past eight? How could she sleep so late?
"I'll be ready soon! Senior Brother! Take them to do some warm-up exercises first!" Ye Xiaoling hurriedly pulled the Taoist robe folded beside the pillow and shouted towards the door with sweat on her forehead.
How could she waste her children's time because of her own affairs?
Ling Zheng smiled helplessly: "Don't be too anxious, the class will start in twenty minutes, you should pack up well."
"Okay! I'll be quick!" Ye Xiaoling yelled again, and got herself ready at the speed of light. She didn't even have time to tie her ponytail properly before running towards the gym outside the house like a whirlwind . Because she was running too fast, she almost fell to the ground several times!
very good!
It only took seven minutes!
Ye Xiaoling's movements gradually became gentler, and she tried hard to adjust the stiff expression on her face. At the same time, she pushed open the door of the gym hall, intending to give the children a friendly smile. However, as soon as she stepped into the hall, she was attracted by an extremely eye-catching red sports car parked in front of the door.
Although she had never known about these things, and had no idea what brand this expensive-looking sports car was, there was such a car parked in front of the usually quiet Huayuan Pavilion, and it happened to be blocking the only entrance and exit, which made her wonder: Did it just happen to pass by here, or did it come here on purpose to cause trouble?
Ling Zheng was loudly leading the children to do warm-up exercises and did not notice the red sports car. Ye Xiaoling hesitated for a while, thinking about whether to find the owner of the car, hoping that they would park the car in other empty spaces, when the driver and passenger doors opened at the same time.
Ye Xiaoling's eyes were firmly attracted——
The young man who walked in first had flamboyant blond hair and a nonchalant smile on his face. His eyes rolled around a few times and soon locked onto Ye Xiaoling, then raised his chin and greeted her, "Hi! See you again!"
It’s Gu Nan?
Although she didn't understand the situation yet, Ye Xiaoling still nodded politely in response and looked carefully behind Gu Nan.
He was still wearing a simple yet elegant white shirt, with the cuffs neatly rolled up to his elbows, revealing his slender and beautiful arms. His slightly pale face, handsome features, and a hint of the king's pride, his slightly raised eyes contained a light, spring-like smile.
Ye Xiaoling's heart was pounding, and she took a few steps back in panic, thinking: Why did Yuan Ye come here? Did he go to the hospital yesterday and find that he was seriously injured, so he came to settle the score with her?
Come to think of it, he seemed to be limping a bit when he walked...
"Um... why are you here?" Not daring to look Yuan Ye in the eye, Ye Xiaoling could only ask the question in a low voice to Gu Nan, who seemed quite friendly.
If you really want to settle yesterday's matter, why not do it here? After all, the children are in front of you!
Yuan Ye was obviously ignored and was startled at first, then he showed an expression that was not sure whether to cry or laugh. Did Ye Xiaoling really hate him? Why did he always feel like he was nothing but air...
Yuan Ye, who always caused an "8-magnitude earthquake" wherever he went, felt inexplicably unwilling. He simply pushed away Gu Nan who was about to answer, and walked towards Ye Xiaoling step by step. His voice was like a breeze in the summer night: "It's like this, my sister is very interested in Taekwondo recently, and wants to find a gym with a good reputation. Everyone says that Huayuan Gym is good, so I want to learn more about it..." As he said this, he seemed to be really happy, and even his voice was filled with smiles, "I didn't expect to meet you here."
What?
Ye Xiaoling froze there in an instant, her eyes brightening incredibly!
"Aren't you here to settle accounts with me?" she asked almost subconsciously.
"Looking for you... to settle the score?" Yuan Ye repeated doubtfully.
"It was me who hurt you yesterday! You don't seem to be walking very well now..." She lowered her voice guiltily.
Yuan Ye was once again shocked by her unreasonable logic. He choked for a long time before he replied with a forced smile: "You misunderstood. I really want to learn about Taekwondo."
Gu Nan, who was standing next to him, crossed his arms with interest, but the mischievous look in his eyes became more and more intense.
These two people...why are they both so weird?
After receiving Yuan Ye's affirmative answer, Ye Xiaoling's last worries disappeared without a trace. She rubbed her hair shyly, then raised her head again, revealing a smile brighter than a sunflower, and said loudly: "In that case! I will take you to learn about our Huayuan Pavilion!"
Although a big shot like Yuan Ye would suddenly come to this unknown and unfamous little gym, what he said... seemed to be fine!
After all, her Huayuanguan does have a good reputation and the people there are very responsible!
and……
Ye Xiaoling couldn't help but smile, which kept rising up.
With Yuan Ye's help and participation, I believe the gym's fame and reputation will continue to grow and develop in a new direction, right?
Ye Xiaoling's attitude suddenly changed drastically. Her smile was so sincere, as if all the happiness was deeply imprinted in her eyes.
Yuan Ye was dazed by such a smile, and his heart seemed to skip a beat out of confusion. Fortunately, Gu Nan beside him coughed lightly, and he finally remembered the purpose of this trip. He looked around awkwardly, but his eyes stopped on Ling Zheng who had already walked out.
"Is he also a coach at the gym?" Yuan Ye asked casually.
"Ah... yes! He is my senior brother!" Ye Xiaoling introduced him enthusiastically and smiled embarrassedly, "Yesterday I misunderstood that you were following him! His name is Ling Zheng, and he has been here..."
Before he could finish his words, Yuan Ye raised his eyebrows and seemed to be walking towards Ling Zheng impatiently: "Is he training? Shall I go and observe from the side?" Then he stretched out his long legs and walked to Ling Zheng's position in a few steps, leaving Ye Xiaoling standing there in a mess, completely confused about the situation.
Why... does he seem very interested in the eldest senior brother?
Seeing that Ling Zheng, who had just announced to the children "take a three-minute break", had already started chatting in confusion under Yuan Ye's enthusiastic greeting, Ye Xiaoling thought about it and always felt that something seemed to be wrong!
If what happened yesterday was really a misunderstanding, then Yuan Ye and Ling Zheng didn't know each other at all, right? The person who was more familiar with him should be me, right?
But why did Yuan Ye seem to not want to communicate with her at all, and his eyes were always "stuck" on Ling Zheng?
And that gaze...
Ye Xiaoling bit her lips slowly and couldn't help but take a breath!
If she wasn't mistaken, Yuan Ye's eyes... were filled with burning anticipation?
What the hell? Why would he look at a stranger like that?
"Xiao Ling, what are you thinking about? Why is your expression so... distorted?" Gu Nan, who had been watching the show, finally couldn't help but speak.
Completely frightened by the thoughts in her mind, Ye Xiaoling didn't care about Gu Nan's sudden intimate address at all, and could only answer nonchalantly: "No, nothing..."
"Oh... is that so?" Gu Nan didn't seem to care, but suddenly frowned in distress, "I suddenly have something to deal with. Do you have a computer here that I can borrow?"
Ye Xiaoling was in a trance and didn't take Gu Nan's words to heart at all. Her eyes full of doubt kept wandering between Yuan Ye and Ling Zheng. She just nodded absent-mindedly and led Gu Nan to the computer in the corner like a ghost.
Could it be that Yuan Ye really has any unusual thoughts about Ling Zheng?
She was no longer in the mood to see what Gu Nan was doing. She just wanted to keep looking at the people talking in the distance. No matter what, don't touch Senior Brother!
