Chapter 361: Front Edge (30)
Chapter 361: Front Edge (30)
After the bait was thrown, the boy went to the front more frequently, fighting crickets every other day, almost like he was losing his ambition by playing with things, but later he started to play hard to get.
It’s not that he didn’t go, but he deliberately went there at a longer interval and deliberately avoided Zhang Siyuan.
On the surface, it seems that General Cricket is invincible and you are vulnerable, but in fact, as the young man said, he is using psychological tactics.
He went there frequently in order to dispel the Zhang family's doubts. After all, he was a brother, and a brother who had been through separation and reunion. He aroused Zhang Siyuan's desire to win, and the two elders of the Zhang family could not fail to notice him. To avoid suspicion, he had to act like he was obsessed.
The above is the first reason. The second is to show that what he said to Zhang Siyuan was not a lie, nor was he trying to keep him hanging. After all, he has always been there, and as long as Zhang Siyuan comes, he will definitely compete with him.
The last and most important point is that Zhang Siyuan wanted the Cricket General very much, but due to the young man's deliberate behavior, they missed it once or twice. Zhang Siyuan would probably be anxious. In this way, he would have a deep impression of the young man.
As the saying goes, three times the limit, the young man counted the days on his fingers and felt that the time was almost up, so he stood up, straightened his clothes, and went out with the cricket jar in his arms.
After crossing three streets and two alleys, the young man walked towards the bustling crowd.
Before he got close, Zhang Siyuan, who had been waiting for him for several days, waved at him.
"Here, here! Liu Ze, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time. I thought you wouldn't come!"
Zhang Siyuan stared at the cricket jar in the boy's arms, and there was a hint of grievance in his straightforward voice.
The young man looked as if he didn't know that he was waiting for him, with obvious surprise on his face. Then he smiled brightly, said "as expected" only to himself, and walked away.
"So it's you." The young man ignored the two servants behind him and said with a smile: "I have come here before, but I have never seen you. I thought you were not going to compete with me again."
"No! Siyuan's cricket needs a long time to recover. As soon as it recovered, I came to find you immediately, but you didn't come!" Zhang Siyuan spoke slowly, trying to express his meaning.
The young man uttered "ah" softly, said sorry obediently, then lowered his eyelids and looked at the porcelain jar in his hand.
"So you've got your crickets ready? Now you want to compete with me?"
"Yes!" Zhang Siyuan nodded heavily.
"Okay." The boy agreed without thinking, "I'll give it to you if you win, but this is the last time."
"Siyuan knows. Siyuan will not cheat or regret." Zhang Siyuan was serious and earnest.
The young man smiled and said, "Let's go then."
Seeing this, a servant behind him immediately went to find a large flat-bottomed porcelain basin.
Both of them are "celebrities" and they are going to face off in a ring, and people soon gather around them.
"Are you ready?" the young man asked Zhang Siyuan.
Zhang Siyuan was talking to his cricket, telling it not to be afraid and to cheer up, when he was suddenly asked by the young man, and he immediately said that he was ready.
So the two of them let the cricket come on stage.
"Sisi, come on! Bite it! Bite it..." Zhang Siyuan clenched his fists and cheered.
The young man bit his lip and tried hard to keep a straight face and not say anything, but the smile in his eyes and the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress showed that he was trying to hold back his laughter.
As for why he was holding back his laughter, Ling Chuan, who wasn't tickled by the joke, glanced at Zhang Siyuan's crickets indifferently.
If he guessed correctly.
Is it because its name is Sisi?
In the end, Zhang Siyuan's cricket lost. He held his cricket jar in a depressed mood, as if a dark cloud was covering his head.
The young man comforted him by saying that his cricket was so powerful that it was normal for it to lose to ordinary crickets, and told him not to worry.
The servant behind Zhang Siyuan twitched his lips slightly after hearing these words. Was he trying to comfort someone or show off?
However, to their surprise, their young master seemed to be comforted by the other party?
"Liu Ze, your cricket is really powerful. It's the most powerful cricket I've ever seen. It's not surprising that Sisi lost." Zhang Siyuan said.
Butler: “…”
Well, the value lies in authenticity.
The young man curled his lips, "You are quite special."
Zhang Siyuan said "Ah" in confusion?
"Nothing, I just think you're a nice person... How about this, do you want your cricket to become like mine?"
The young man asked again nonsensically.
"Sisi can also become powerful?" Zhang Siyuan was surprised.
"Of course." The boy said, "Do you think my cricket general is born? I tell you, I have an exclusive secret recipe. If you feed it something every day, it will not only be stronger than other crickets, but also healthier than them."
The young man deliberately lowered his voice for the rest of the conversation, fearing that others might hear him.
Zhang Siyuan's eyes lit up, and he also bent over and imitated him in speaking in a low voice.
"Can you sell me some?"
"It's an exclusive secret recipe, and I won't sell it. But I think you like it, so I'll give you some. Here, keep this."
As the young man spoke, he took out a sealed small porcelain bottle and handed it to Zhang Siyuan. Zhang Siyuan held it carefully. The two servants frowned slightly when they saw it, but did not stop him.
"If you feed it a little water every day, it will be majestic and strong in a few days."
"Oh." Zhang Siyuan listened carefully, and then thanked him politely, "Thank you Liu Ze, you are such a good person, you will be Siyuan's best friend from now on!"
The young man who was instantly stared at by two sharp eyes laughed dryly: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, I just want to be compatible, and you have competed with me twice, I can't bear it."
So I'm giving you something because you look so depressed.
As if they understood what the young man meant, the two gazes directed at him withdrew.
After that, the young man didn't try to get close to Zhang Siyuan anymore. Instead, he went to play a few games with other people and won all of them.
Zhang Siyuan was shocked, his mouth wide open, stunned, and then he treasured the things given by the young man even more, and the servants were not allowed to touch them.
Everything went according to the young man's plan. He was not surprised that after Zhang Siyuan said that he was his best friend, the two elders of the Zhang family asked people to pay attention to him.
But as time went on, the other party realized that the young man was just a casual acquaintance with their grandson and there was no topic beyond cricket fighting, so they gradually felt relieved.
But the young man could never have dreamed that, although there was no problem with Zhang Siyuan, the news of his crazy cricket fighting was reported to Liu Zheng and his wife, who said that he was greatly traumatized after being abandoned by Yan Hai, so he indulged himself in an attempt to numb himself.
Younger brother: “…”
Lingchuan: "..."
Mr. and Mrs. Liu Zheng certainly knew that this was not the case, but they could not bear to see their little brother indulge in playing.
So when the young man went to visit them again, the two old people caught him and gave him earnest advice, telling him not to be distracted by material things.
Younger brother: “…”
Really careless.
Looking at the young man being scolded, Ling Chuan turned his head away and smiled unkindly.
