Chapter 262 Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger
"Buzz-"
The phone vibrated in my pocket.
Li Mu had just finished eating the last candied haws. He put the bamboo skewer on the coffee table and took out his cell phone. It was a WeChat message from Wen Ting from the Organization Department.
Wenting: Hello Li Mu, the WeChat ID of the person you are meeting for the 'Singles' event is ****. You must be very surprised. You must be getting very excited. Go add her as a friend and say hello to her politely.
Li Mu looked at the message expressionlessly.
What's the surprise? He even memorized the WeChat ID.
After replying, Li Mu put away his phone. He saw that Yogurt had jumped onto the coffee table again at some point and was licking the bamboo stick he had eaten, which still had some sugar left on it.
"Oh, Mr. Yogurt, don't eat that." Li Qinran looked at it with pity and quickly handed the remaining candied haws to the kitten.
Li Mu shook his head and got up to wash up.
After washing up, she glanced at the living room and saw Li Qinran holding a hawthorn covered with saliva in her hand in a daze with an embarrassed look on her face, while the cat was squatting beside her, staring at her without blinking.
Li Mu grinned.
early morning.
Li Mu opened his eyes. The ceiling so close to him made him feel confused. He couldn't tell whether he was sleeping at home or in the yard.
He tilted his head slightly and saw Yogurt sleeping soundly under the blanket around his waist.
Ever since he told the cat that sleeping on his chest would make him suffocate, the cat no longer sleeps on his chest, fearing that he would suffocate to death.
Li Mu stretched gently while lying on the bed, then took the mobile phone from the bedside table.
The time showed 7:10 in the morning.
I woke up an hour later than when I was in the courtyard, probably because I told Yogurt a story too late last night.
There are three unread messages on WeChat, sent just ten minutes ago.
Wenting: Good morning, the single youth networking event has officially begun. On this sunny morning, say good morning to your 'blind date'.
Wenting: You will receive the first task, which is a fixed task: in the next seven days, every night, you need to send her a good night message and remind her to go to bed early.
Wenting: Today's task: meet her at noon or in the afternoon and have a meal together (if you have time, you might as well dress up to leave a good impression on her).
Li Mu: Got it.
Birds are singing outside the window and a ray of sunlight is coming in through the gap in the curtains. It looks like a very good day today.
Li Mu clicked on Brother Nan’s WeChat, hesitated for a moment, and sent a good morning message.
Then he quickly turned off his phone, feeling a little embarrassed.
Although he and Brother Nan were already very familiar with each other and it was not uncommon for them to greet each other, it was always very casual. It was somewhat different from being so deliberate now, picking up the phone to send the first message titled "Good morning" before getting up.
After a while, he couldn't help but turn on the screen again.
Brother Nan didn't reply to his message.
He probably hasn't woken up yet, which is normal.
Li Mu got up quietly, and the cat followed him, but fell backwards, following behind him like a follower.
My aunt has prepared breakfast.
After finishing his meal, Li Mu looked at his phone again. Brother Nan had replied to his message with just two simple words: Good morning.
Li Mu went back to the room, changed into a pair of pants with better elasticity, put on a long-sleeved T-shirt, and put on sneakers.
It's good enough to just make do with it.
He took the helmet that Brother Nan won in the lottery, put it on and looked at himself in the mirror. It looked pretty good, iron grey in color, suitable for boys.
Today the whole family is going out -
Li Mu is going to take part in the cycling club's activities with Brother Nan, Li Qinran is going to attend a photography exhibition, and Lao Li and his aunt are going to travel with their friends.
The kitten was originally going to follow Li Mu.
But cats are animals that respect the elderly and love the young, and Yogurt is especially compassionate and empathetic. Seeing that her uncle and aunt really wanted to take her out, the cat hesitated for a moment and finally chose to go out and play with them.
Uncle and aunt were extremely happy.
Li Mu rode his bicycle to the gate of the provincial party committee compound to wait for Brother Nan.
Not long after, Brother Nan came out on his bike, holding a bun in his mouth.
The two rode all the way to the entrance of the club. There were already a lot of people gathered at the entrance, with a huge momentum. Everyone was pushing a bicycle, and many of them were wearing tight cycling clothes, goggles and strange shoes, which became a unique landscape in the surrounding area.
A mix of road bikes and mountain bikes.
Li Mu looked down at his sportswear, then looked at Brother Nan.
Brother Nan was not wearing cycling clothes, but just a tight-fitting outfit to reduce wind resistance and prevent his trouser legs from getting caught in the bicycle chain. His tall figure and straight long legs were very eye-catching.
Noticing Li Mu's gaze, Brother Nan turned his head and whispered, "Don't be fooled by how professionally dressed these people are. They are actually rookies."
After a pause, she changed her words: "The more professional they are dressed, the more uncomfortable they will be when we blow them up. And the more powerful we will appear. This is called playing the pig to eat the tiger."
"."
Li Mu felt that it made sense that other clubs were unwilling to play with Brother Nan.
Brother Nan was eating a bun. After a while, the cycling team leader and deputy team leader arrived, riding two road bikes.
The captain wore a pink cycling suit, which made him look extremely flashy. On the contrary, the female deputy captain wore a red and black cycling suit, which gave people a cool and handsome feeling.
Both of them are highly recognizable.
The team leader counted the number of people, confirmed in the group that no one was late, and then set off on time.
The group of people came in a huge procession, forming a torrent of bicycles.
The weather is good today. The sky is a light blue and white clouds form a line across the horizon.
The speed was not fast at the beginning, everyone rode slowly as a warm-up.
At some point, the captain came up to Brother Nan and was already bewildered by his appearance: "Hello, pretty girl, how long have you been riding a bike?"
"More than 30 years."
"How old are you?"
"twenty-three."
".The beauty is really good at joking." The captain smiled and glanced at Brother Nan's car, "Is it a new car you just bought?"
"Correct."
"You don't ride very often, do you?"
The captain looked embarrassed. "Today's 100 kilometers is easy for us, but it will be very difficult for people like you who have never ridden such a long distance."
"How do you know I don't ride much?" Brother Nan said in surprise.
"You don't even have cycling clothes, your bike is new, and you don't have cycling shoes yet."
The captain had a pair of discerning eyes. "You are a little impulsive. Maybe you signed up because you have no idea of what a 100-kilometer race is like. It's actually quite tiring, especially since girls can't match boys in physical strength."
"Is that so?" Brother Nan imitated Li Mu's tone.
"But it's okay." The captain smiled and comforted Brother Nan, "Every year there are many people who are interested in cycling, but have never ridden a bicycle before. They sign up on impulse and then can't ride anymore halfway."
"Then what should I do?" Brother Nan opened his eyes wide.
"It's okay, we'll go together later." The captain said, "The rhythm of riding a bike is very important. If you follow me later, it won't be easy to get confused."
“But yours is a road bike.”
"Don't worry, we will take care of newcomers like you. Otherwise, even if we change a bike, you won't be able to ride faster than us."
"What if the wind is strong?"
"I'll break the wind for you."
"Oh~ Thank you, Captain."
"You're welcome. Let's add each other's contact information so I can call you when I ride around the area."
"Okay, Alipay."
"what?"
"I usually use Alipay to chat."
"."
Li Mu listened silently beside him, without saying anything.
