Seizing Dreams [B1]

Ch 90 - Robbery

During the nine-day period between National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yu Hao was forced to train without a break.

"Let me rest for a short while!" Yu Hao said, "I'm about to fall apart!!"

Fu Liqun casually grabbed a mosquito while Zhou Sheng packed up a set of mock math problems for the midterms and said, "Everything in this world is a flying point; whenever you see something fly by, catch it quickly, and then you'll get better"

"That, is, it!" Fu Liqun said, "We're done, let's go. Life exists in sports."

After the National Day holidays, the weather gradually cooled down. In late October, the three of them began to work their respective jobs. In order to not affect their studies, they rescheduled all their part-time work to the evenings. Yu Hao carried his skateboard on his back and went to assist Xiao Yujun in finishing up, then at 9 o'clock went to play with the boys he got acquainted with recently. After Zhou Sheng finished tutoring his junior high school kid, they would meet up, have supper, then go home.

Yu Hao has been to the newspaper office twice; the office was in utter chaos, as if everyone was escaping in a hurry during an apocalypse. Xiao Yujun prepared a table for him in the office and went out for some interviews herself. After discussing with the interns on matching manuscripts with their appropriate attached pictures, he went to the park at 9 o'clock to practice skateboarding.

On this autumn night, the neon lights in the park illuminated a large open space. Not long ago, Yu Hao met people who rode fancy bicycles, did inline roller skating, skateboarded, and those who danced hip-hop here. Everyone was around the same age, so it didn't take long for them to get friendly with one another. These guys treated Yu Hao really well too and often instructed him on how to use his board — they were all gods at it and were much more experienced than the members of his college's club. Thus, Yu Hao often came in the evening and would wait outside the natural park for Zhou Sheng.

Oddly enough, after confirming their relationship, Zhou Sheng stopped getting jealous. In the beginning, Yu Hao was afraid that he might beat people up, but Zhou Sheng said, "It won't be too late to punch each and every one of them if a problem crops up."

Yu Hao was practically speechless. Still, according to his observations, this group of guys were all straight, and they only played together because they had hit it off. No one had any other intention. Also, everyone envied Yu Hao's equipment a lot, especially his skateboard.

"You're really rich." A boy said, "To buy such an expensive board."

Yu Hao was really muddle-headed at first, but after he knew the price, he had even picked a fight with Zhou Sheng. It was too expensive! Still, you really do get what you pay for.

"The bearings and wheels are all new ba?" During their break time, everyone looked at Yu Hao's skateboard.

Yu Hao could say, "Changed it last month, my boyfriend helped me set it up. Didn't you guys see it before?"

"Tsk tsk tsk."

"Dog abuse."

"I want a boyfriend too, introduce me bei."

"There's no more!" Yu Hao, "It wasn't easy for me to get this one myself."

He was just skateboarding, yet he still got assaulted. At 10 o'clock, everyone said goodbye to Yu Hao, and they all went their separate ways. Yu Hao stepped on his board and looked at his watch; Zhou Sheng wasn't here yet, but he should've finished tutoring already, so Yu Hao gave him a call.

"That kid fell asleep while I was reading." Zhou Sheng said on the phone, "Laozi asked him to work on some problems yet he laid on the table to sleep. He was too tired in the day, and I still need to tutor him for another 20 minutes. Go to the bar to find a seat first and order a drink ba."
