What? Entering the coach? Is this a joke?

Reggie Walker didn't know what to do. He stood there awkwardly and restrainedly unable to take steps, hesitating whether he should go forward or leave. Then Coretta had abandoned him and followed Lu Yiqi's footsteps towards the house, which scared Walker to death.

"Korita!" Walker shouted in a low voice, fearing that his voice would alarm Lu Yiqi, so he did not dare to release the sound boldly. In the end, he could only chase him all the way and grabbed Korita at the door of the house. "We should go back, my mother will worry."

"It was the coach who invited us in." Coretta widened his eyes, wrinkled his nose at Walker, and turned around and entered the room.

Walker subconsciously took a step forward, and then he was already standing in the room.

"Don't worry, you can relax and do whatever you want." Lu Yiqi's voice came from the kitchen, "Do you need some drinks? Coke? Juice? Or soda? By the way, I still have milk."

Walker stood calmly next to the door, his hands were not sure where to put them, so he changed several movements in succession, and finally placed them in front of him with overlapping legs, spreading his legs, maintaining a straight standing posture, and only his eyes were quietly looking at the coach's house.

To be honest, this is slightly different from his imagination - not that he had imagined, nor was he able to determine what the coach's room should look like, but at least it wasn't like that, it seemed slightly different from what the coach usually looked like:

The entire empty hall has no furniture. There is a group of dark gray sofas diagonally in front of the right side, a TV and an old-fashioned videotape player, and a rectangular desk near the backyard windowsill with the right hand. This is basically all, but the spacious space seems to be stuffed.

Various materials and books can be seen everywhere on the sofa, floor, and desk; and the right angle to the right side is two bookshelves walls, full of books stuffed with local books, but even so, the books still pop out, and every corner seems to be fully utilized.

I secretly glanced at the booklet on the bookshelf on my right hand, and the questions were not only not answered, but were becoming more and more:

"The Art of War", "The Complete Collection of Go Endgames", "The History of the Second Industrial Revolution in Europe", "Florence in the Renaissance", "The Old Man and the Sea", "Basic Theory of Journalism and Communication", "Introduction to Chess", "Basic German Theory Volume 1", "How to Cook a Table of Exquisite French Dinner"...

What is this?

"Sorry, I didn't have time to clean up. Obviously, such an environment is not suitable for entertaining guests, especially for entertaining underage guests."

Lu Yiqi's voice came over, Walker shyly withdrew his gaze, quickly kept standing, and even unconsciously raised his chest.

"What is this? Are the guards of Buckingham Palace standing guard?" Lu Yiqi looked at Walker's appearance and couldn't help but chuckled, "Relax, this is not a temple."

Walker secretly glanced at Lu Yiqi and found that the coach did have a relaxed smile on his face, which made him feel a little relieved.

"Coach, what is this? Is this a puzzle?" In comparison, Coretta was much more relaxed. She stood in front of the desk and asked with curiosity on her face.

"Yes, the puzzle, that one is 'starry sky'. It's not long before I started..." Before Lu Yiqi's words could be finished, Coretta's clothes accidentally hooked to the frame of the puzzle. With a "slam" sound, the entire puzzle was flipped down.

"careful!"

"careful!"

Lu Yiqi and Walker both exclaimed, but the difference was that Lu Yiqi ran towards Coretta, while Walker's target was the puzzle.

"Korita! How can you do this? What are your politeness? What mom teaches you? Have you forgotten everything? Do you know what you are doing? Don't touch other people's things casually! God! You will kill yourself sooner or later! You stupid..."

"Stop!" Walker's endless scolding was interrupted by Lu Yiqi's stern voice. He knelt on the ground with both knees and tried to pick up the puzzle in a hurry. Because Lu Yiqi's scolding, his shoulders were trembling slightly, but he could not tell whether it was fear or panic, or whether it was both.

Lu Yiqi looked down at Coretta, looked at Walker with his eyes, and sighed, "Reggie, the purpose of the puzzle is to help me clarify my thoughts and calm down. I like to break up the puzzles and then piece them together. This is my way of thinking. So, don't worry about the puzzles. What you should worry about is Coretta. At any time, people are more important than objects."

"Sorry, coach, I..." Walker was unable to say it after all.

He still clearly remembers that in the summer vacation of eighth grade, in order to earn living expenses to supplement the family, he and Jimmy went to a villa with a private pool in the suburbs to help clean the fallen leaves of the roof and garden. Obviously, the owner was not expecting two black children. He looked at them with a condescending gaze for a long time, but did not refuse. Turning around, he carefully locked his valuables into the safe.

Although the other party didn't say anything, the look left deep scars.

That thing left a different mark on him and Jimmy. Jimmy began to become rebellious, causing trouble everywhere with a broken can; while he became cautious and restrained himself as much as possible to avoid any actions that might cause misunderstandings.

At this time, he looked at Lu Yiqi, and the explanations that rushed to his mouth were still not spoken, because Walker didn't know how to explain them.

Fortunately, Lu Yiqi had no intention of pursuing it, "Put down the things for the time being, let's prepare dinner first. Coretta, do you need to call your mother? Nothing is more important than a delicious dinner! Please allow me to express my gratitude to her personally, she really saved my day."

Lu Yiqi and Coretta walked towards the kitchen, while Walker remained in place, silently packing up the puzzle pieces, and then he moved to the restaurant door.

The familiar aroma of beef and chili sauce was surging in the room, and beans and potatoes were steaming in the big pot watching, and steam was slowly lingering; Lu Yiqi was washing vegetables next to the sink, and seemed to have been used to the life of completing all his work alone; Coretta sat upright next to the dining table, eating nachos bite by bit, with the crisp sound of the crackling sound particularly bright.

Watching this scene quietly, Walker's nose felt slightly sour.

"The hot sauce should be paired with corn flakes? Reggie? Or do I need bread? My bread has been eaten, and now there are only two large bags of corn flakes left." Lu Yiqi's voice came from the sound of gurgling hot water.
