The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine

"Hey, I heard that our new coach is Yan Xinyuan, the former head coach of Guoyu. That's awesome."

"What the hell, you don't know? Coach Yan's subordinates have had training accidents, otherwise he, the head coach of the national team, would come to this place where we don't want to shit."

Today is the day of the training camp. People came to report one after another early in the morning. By the afternoon, almost everyone had arrived. Small groups stood on the playground and chatted. As the assembly time approached, the last van drove into the training camp. At the base, everyone's eyes were cast in the past at the same time.

If I'm not mistaken, this is their coach's car.

The teaching assistant was already blowing the whistle to prepare to assemble. Xie Shi'an looked away and walked over with Qiao Yuchu.

Under the curious eyes of everyone, the car door opened, and Yan Xinyuan, who was wearing a tracksuit, jumped out first. He was in his fifties, of medium build, a little bald, with a bright forehead, and he looked ordinary. .

Someone in the team couldn't help laughing, which caused the assistant to give him a hard look.

Jian Changnian came out after him.

Qiao Yuchu was taken aback: "Is it her? She's here too?"

Xie Shi'an also cast a glance and frowned slightly, apparently still remembering her.

"Go and stand at the back." Yan Xinyuan said.

Jian Changnian nodded, then ran to the end of the line with her bag on her back and stood there.

There were whispers in the ranks.

"You came with Coach Yan, are you related?"

"That's not sure, but whether you can stay or not depends on your ability."

She was listening to others with her ears upright when she was caught off guard and gently tugged on her sleeve.

Jian Changnian turned around and saw an old acquaintance.

"Sun..." She almost shouted out. After all, when she was in the gymnasium of Jiangbei No. 2 Middle School, Sun Qian left a deep impression on her.

Sun Qian nodded and narrowed her eyes with a smile.

"I really didn't expect to see you here."

Jian Changnian thought: Me too.

Seeing that she came with Coach Yan, Sun Qian was also a little curious, but didn't wait for her to speak.

Yan Xinyuan whistled.

"Okay, everyone must have known me beforehand, so I won't talk nonsense, let's start training. Warm up for five minutes, prepare for the 400-meter sprint—"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, so fast, they thought they would say a few words in a high-sounding manner first, who knew they would run as soon as they came up.

Someone couldn't hold back.

"Coach, we are here to learn skills, not to run."

Yan Xinyuan smiled slightly. Although he had never met him face to face, he had read the information in advance before coming here, and wrote down everyone's name, appearance, specialty, experience, and even the awards they had won.

"Your name is Zhao Qidong, right? If I remember correctly, you are already twenty-five years old. You have participated in four national competitions, but unfortunately you haven't won a single place. For a rookie, you don't need any skills to play well. Thank goodness for the physical foundation."

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Zhao Qidong raised his head angrily: "Why are you laughing! Why are you laughing! I have participated in the national competition anyway, how about you!"

Yan Xinyuan blew the whistle again.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, this afternoon's training plan is full. In addition to the outdoor 400-meter sprint and 1,500-meter run, there are also switchbacks, leapfrogs, and squats with weights. Our cafeteria is five o'clock Half-cooked meals, so many people will definitely not have enough food, so finish training first and eat first."

"In addition, the training results are linked to the final assessment results. If anyone wants to stay, I advise you to do your best in every training content."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed, and they didn't bother to mutter anymore, and they all started doing warm-up exercises.

Xie Shi'an squatted down and tied his shoelaces, and when the starting gun fired, he rushed out like an arrow off the string.

Jian Changnian was still in a daze, and Sun Qian next to her gave her a hand.

"Run, you won't be able to eat if you're late."

Only then did Jian Changnian come back to her senses, and rushed forward with the crowd.

At the end of the afternoon's training, Jian Changnian's clothes on her back were all soaked in sweat. She staggered to the finish line, sat down on her buttocks, panting heavily, and the sweat from the tips of her hair splashed onto the lawn drop by drop.

Yan Xinyuan put away the stopwatch: "Okay, the last ten will help the auntie in the cafeteria wash the dishes after dinner, and gather in the training room at 7:30 in the evening."

Because I went there late, there was not much food left in the cafeteria. Jian Changnian gobbled up a large bowl of rice with the cold seaweed egg soup. By the time she finished washing the dishes with others, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. It was too late to take a shower, so I changed my clothes and hurried to the training room.

When Jian Chang read in, there were already seven or eight people there, gathering in groups of three or five, and it was obvious that after an afternoon of acquaintance, a small group had formed.

Jian Changnian was the last one to arrive today, and came with Yan Xinyuan, so he naturally endured the baptism of many eyes.

There were whispers.

"Just her? Relational account? Today's grades are countdown."

Xie Shi'an was sitting on the parallel bars, surrounded by many people. As a well-known old player of the Binhai Provincial Team, she has never lacked partners.

"Just her? After eating the bear's heart and leopard's guts, dare to fight you?"

The news that Jian Changnian had fought against her somehow spread.

Xie Shi'an played with the racket with one hand, twirling it back and forth with his fingertips, his feet dangling in mid-air, with a careless look.

"Yeah, I'm also curious. How did you recruit people this year? Let such a small guy in. He's not as tall as a badminton net. Is he here to be a mascot?"

"..."

Jian Changnian's throat tightened, and he wanted to go over to say hello, but at least he had exchanged hands once. After hearing this, he turned a corner and walked away silently.

There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, and some people were eager to try.

"Brothers, go and learn from each other?"

Xie Shian shrugged.

"I'm not interested, you go."

Someone winked, and immediately surrounded several people and walked towards Jian Changnian.

"Let's go, it's a related account."

After the group of people had left, Qiao Yuchu dragged them off the parallel bars, and she was the only one who would speak fiercely to Xie Shi'an.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't bully newcomers."

"How can this be called bullying? I just want to see if she is qualified enough to enter the training team."

It was only in front of Qiao Yuchu that Xie Shi'an occasionally showed a bit of childish naughtiness.

Qiao Yuchu nodded her forehead like a big sister.

"You, in fact, you are not convinced. Why should she let Coach Yan dig it in, right?"

"Just her? A rookie is worthy of my dissatisfaction?" Xie Shi'an snorted coldly, turned his face away, and lay down on the parallel bars.

When the two of them were talking, Jian Changnian's battle situation was very tragic. Although she gritted her teeth and accepted the challenge, her level was not worth mentioning in the training team full of talents.

The first game was crushed by a big score of 21:3 and the battle ended.

There was a lot of booing.

Xie Shi'an was bouncing the ball with his racket to keep his feel, and he took the time to glance at it: "I didn't play that badly when I was in elementary school."

Qiao Yuchu put her arms around her shoulders: "Hey, it's alright, who doesn't know that you are a well-known talented girl in the entire Jiangcheng City, besides, the training camp has just started, maybe after the training camp, your grades will get better and better. .”

Xie Shi'an still had no expression on his face.

"It's hard to say whether we can stay until the end of the training camp."

While the two were talking, more and more people surrounded Jian Changnian.

"Hey, rookie, how about this, I'll let you five balls, lest others say I bully you."

The opponent who challenged her was a player from the former second team of Binhai Province, two years older than her, with good skills, and could be regarded as the reserve force of the first team.

Jian Changnian blushed, gripped the racket tightly, and said word by word.

"I don't need anyone to let me."

"Yo, you have backbone, that's fine, I'll let you serve first."

The two were talking, and someone shouted: "Coach, the coach is here."

Turning around, Yan Xinyuan was indeed standing at the door.

"Fight, why not fight, continue, continue, come a few people, bring me the scoreboard, I will be the referee."

To everyone's surprise, Yan Xinyuan not only didn't stop him, but also acted as a referee, sitting at the door, as if nothing happened.

Everyone looked at each other, and Yan Xinyuan blew his whistle with a smile.

"During the training camp, fighting is strictly prohibited. Once discovered, you will be expelled immediately. But, you can make friends with the ball. I have only one request, and the competition is fair, open and just. Here you can challenge anyone you want, including me. Okay. Now, let's start, don't waste everyone's time, let's make a quick decision, do you understand?!"

The last sentence was obviously addressed to Jian Changnian and the others.

The player who challenged her shouted happily: "Understood!"

Jian Changnian's face turns blue and white.

Of course she lost that game without any suspense, and the training at night was not satisfactory.

The teaching assistant drew a table on the whiteboard in the training room, divided the 100 people into four groups, and wrote the rankings according to their performance. Jian Changnian was at the bottom, and Xie Shi'an stood out from the crowd.

According to Yan Xinyuan's rules, the last player in the training match stayed to clean up. It was early morning after Jian Changnian finished cleaning. She stood silently in front of this whiteboard for a long time before turning off the lights and leaving.

Back downstairs in the dormitory, someone was already waiting for her.

"How is it, today's training feeling?"

Seeing that it was Yan Xinyuan, Jian Changnian smiled wryly.

"It's quite difficult, they... are all very strong."

Yan Xinyuan patted her on the shoulder.

"Everyone who can come here is not weak. You haven't received systematic training before, and you will be better when you get used to it."

"Coach Yan, today I...have shamed you."

Thinking of the game this afternoon, Jian Changnian still felt a little guilty.

Yan Xinyuan shook his head: "I treat everyone equally here, and I won't be more tolerant to you just because I know you. If you don't accept other people's challenges, you will let me down. After all, there is a word called, although It's an honor to lose."

When Jian Changnian heard this, there was a smile in his eyes.

"There is another word called repeated defeats and repeated battles, I am not afraid of losing."

Jian often misses this child, she is a bit introverted and can hide things in her heart, Yan Xinyuan is afraid that she will be depressed.

"I'm relieved that you can think like this. Most of the training team are your peers, but from the perspective of skills and game experience, they can be regarded as your seniors. Open yourself up, make more friends, communicate with each other, and fight against each other. Laws and experience are also beneficial to the improvement of technology."

In the training team, there are only two people who can be said to have met her once, one is Xie Shi'an and the other is Sun Qian.

Forget about Sun Qian, not to mention her "wonderful performance" that day, which left a deep impression on Jian Changnian. Just because of her relationship with Zhou Mu, she doesn't want to have too much involvement with Sun Qian.

There was only one Xie Shi'an, she was half envious and half admiring her skills, Jian Changnian didn't want to go over to say hello, and after finally working up the courage to walk over, she heard her say "bean sprouts" and "not worthy to come".

Xie Shi'an is good at technology, but he is just too arrogant.

After Yuanyuan's incident, Jian Changnian always felt a slight disgust in her heart when she saw this kind of person, but she could understand Yan Xinyuan's good intentions in saying this, and hoped that she could make friends here and be happy.

"Okay, I see, then I'll go back to rest first." Jian Changnian replied with a smile, but when he turned to leave, he was stopped again.

"Hey, wait, this is the medical expenses that group paid you last time. There is still some left over for your medical treatment. Take it and go buy a pair of good sneakers during your lunch break tomorrow."

Jian Changnian looked down and saw that the edge of her sneakers had cracked at some point. She lifted her foot a little, and the soles were separated.

But last time I spent all the 500 yuan for medical treatment and medicine in the hospital, where is the rest of the money?

Jian Changnian looked up to say something, Yan Xinyuan stuffed the money into her hand, turned and waved away.

"Come on for training tomorrow."

Jian Changnian's heart warmed, she looked at his back and said.

"Thank you, Coach Yan."

Back in the dormitory, all the dormmates have fallen asleep, snoring everywhere, the dormitory is an eight-person room, there is no private bathroom, and you have to go to the public toilet at the end of the corridor to wash.

Jian Changnian's bed was at the innermost position near the window, and the moonlight cast a few rays of light on the table. She turned the desk lamp to the darkest, took out the notebook from her schoolbag, rubbed the pen tip against the paper, and wrote:

On 11.17, the weather was fine, and I owed Coach Yan 200 yuan.

I met Xie Shi'an again, she is also very physically fit, but she is still as arrogant as ever, I don't like her very much.
