The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine

Chapter 117: so bitter

"Hey, Shi'an..." Jian Changnian looked at Xie Shi'an's leaving back and wanted to say something, but was dragged away by several teammates.

"Let's go, let's eat fish."

In the cafeteria.

"The wild fish in this mountain is fresh, come, often read, eat more."

Gao Jian looked at the only braised crucian carp left on the plate, picked it up and put it in her bowl.

Lu Xiaoting teased: "Senior brother, you are being a little unkind. There are only so many fish in total, and one for each person will be gone. It's good for you, I will read them all."

Gao Jian smiled.

"It's fine if I don't eat. I'll take you out to play some other day. The reservoir on the west side has a better view and more fish..."

Jian Changnian didn't eat the fish in the bowl, and the one he picked up was a perfect match. Before Gao Jian finished speaking, she closed the lid of the lunch box and was about to get up.

"If you don't eat it, that's just fine. Shi'an loves fish, so I'll bring it back for her to eat."

"Eh…"

Without waiting for Gao Jian to say anything, Jian Changnian was afraid that the food would not taste good if it got cold, so he ran away with the lunch box in his pocket.

Lu Xiaoting shrugged her shoulders, expressing nothing.

"Yes, I lost my wife and lost my army."

Gao Jian viciously clamped a chicken leg into her bowl.

"As long as you talk a lot, eat."

Jian Changnian ran upstairs and knocked on the door for a long time before she opened it.

Xie Shi'an had a towel on his head, and the ends of his hair were wet. It looked like he had just taken a shower.

"What's up?"

"Here, braised crucian carp in soy sauce, for you to eat, I just thought that wild fish is nutritious and good for your recovery..."

Jian Changnian excitedly handed over the lunch box, and Xie Shi'an was about to close the door before he finished speaking.

"I'm not hungry."

She didn't even think about hiding, so she was caught in her hand. Jian Changnian hissed softly, and the lunch box in her hand fell to the ground, her eye circles were red with pain.

"You...you won't hide?" Xie Shi'an was angry and distressed, and dragged him in.

"Sit there, I'll find you a Band-Aid."

Jian Changnian sat down on her bed, looked at her back after rummaging through boxes and cabinets, although her hands hurt, but there was a hint of sweetness in her heart, and she deliberately played tricks and sighed.

"What should I do about Shi'an? It hurts so much. I won't be broken. I won't be unable to play."

Xie Shi'an found the Band-Aid, turned around, heard her seriousness, grabbed her wrist and looked at it, and saw that the fingertips were scratched a little, and immediately pulled the corner of his lower lip, smiling half-smile.

Two large characters appeared above Jian Changnian's head:

No, wonderful.

In the next second, someone broke his wrist and pressed him on the bed.

She immediately uttered a scream that shook the world and wept ghosts and gods.

"Ah! It's really going to be broken! It's broken!"

Xie Shi'an just let go and threw the band-aid to her.

"Give you a piece of advice, don't just mourn here if you have nothing to do, take it and post it yourself."

Jian Changnian sat up holding the Band-Aid, looked at her back, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind.

"Shi'an, you are... angry, aren't you?"

Xie Shi'an paused as she was about to blow-dry her hair. When she saw her getting off Gao Jian's car and chatting happily with them, she really couldn't tell what her mood was, she seemed a little aggrieved.

She was doing physical therapy in the hospital, and the slender steel needles were pierced into her skin. She spent a long afternoon alone, watching the sky outside the window gradually darken, what was Jane thinking about.

She is going out with them, camping, playing in the water, fishing.

She should have had a good time today.

Xie Shi'an pursed his lips, mocking himself.

"No, it's late, I'm going to rest, you go back to your dormitory."

Seeing that she didn't keep her intentions, Jian Chang jumped off the bed and went to the door to clean up the mess.

"I just think it's a pity. I caught this fish myself. I didn't eat it, so I wanted to bring it back for you to taste."

Xie Shi'an watched her carefully pick up the fish that fell on the ground, and put it back into the lunch box.

"Aren't you afraid of water?"

Jian Chang didn't even think about it.

"That year, I jumped into the pond to save you, it's good."

Xie Shi'an's eyes flickered, and he moved his lips.

"You... do you like camping very much?"

"It's not like I like it very much. It's just that growing up in the countryside, I can get closer to seeing nature."

Xie Shi'an put down the hair dryer.

"Then next Saturday, next Saturday, let's go camping."

On the next Saturday, Gao Jian came to ask her to play again, saying that he had found a club with a good venue.

Without even thinking about it, Jian Chang rejected him.

"I won't go to play, I have to accompany Shi'an to go to physical therapy."

Xie Shi'an happened to come down from upstairs, saw this scene, paused slightly, and Jian Changnian took her arm.

"Then let's go first."

The two of them drifted away, their voices drifting away in the wind.

Xie Shi'an: "Didn't you say to go camping?"

"Camping is not as important as your body. You can go anytime. You have an appointment with the doctor. You can't go if you don't."

She didn't feel much pain during this physical therapy, and she even lay down on the hospital bed to take a nap in the middle.

When she woke up, the sun had already set, she was covered with Jian Changnian's coat, and she was sitting by the bed reading a book.

"you're awake?"

Xie Shi'an sat up and pulled out all the steel needles on his legs.

"it's over?"

"It's over, let's go back."

"it is good."

Xie Shi'an handed her the coat, and Jian Changnian reached out to help him off the bed.

The two walked out of the hospital gate, Xie Shi'an looked at the car parked by the side of the road, and then remembered another thing.

"Come with me somewhere else."

4S shop.

Looking at the dazzling array of cars placed.

Xie Shi'an was a little embarrassed: "Which one do you like?"

Jian Changnian was taken aback: "Huh? Me? I don't know much about cars. When did you get your driver's license?"

Xie Shi'an later realized that the question was a bit abrupt, so he turned his face away.

"I took the exam a long time ago, but I haven't bought it all the time. Didn't this bring you here as a staff officer?"

Seeing this, the sales lady at the side was very considerate and authentic.

"What is the main purpose of the two ladies buying the car? Transportation or self-driving travel?"

Xie Shi'an thought about it.

"Let's travel by car."

"Then look at this Mercedes-Benz SUV. It has four-wheel drive, luxurious interior, and a spacious rear row. It is no problem to travel with pets. It is our latest model launched this year, and the landing price is only one million yuan. Very good value for money.”

Jian Changnian turned around the car body.

"It's black, so cool, I like it, hey, when I get my driver's license, let me drive it."

Xie Shi'an handed over the bank card.

"Okay, then this one."

When signing the contract, she took out her ID card to have a look, and the sales lady realized that she was still a celebrity. No wonder she was so generous, she paid the full amount in one lump sum, and immediately gave a discount, and also gave some accessories and a year's worth of money. free maintenance.

The two parties agreed on a date to pick up the car, and before Xie Shi'an left, he even signed someone's autograph to thank her for her warm service.

The girl was so happy holding the notebook, the male colleague came over to gossip: "Hey, that one just now, is it really Xie Shi'an?"

"The ID cards are all here, so how can there be fake ones?"

"It's much prettier than on TV. Then the one next to her, isn't it Jian Changnian? Is the relationship between these two people so good in private..."

"It seems to be quite intimate. Oh, don't gossip, go to work, go to work, the supervisor is here."

Although Jian Changnian is no longer the poor kid who used to worry about hundreds of dollars in tuition fees, she still feels sorry for Xie Shi'an after spending so much all at once.

"I've spent all of this year's annual salary all at once."

Xie Shi'an didn't care much.

"Anyway, there are still endorsements, and I haven't bought much in these years, and I don't know how to spend the money I have saved."

Jian Chang thought about it, yes, she usually doesn't like to buy luxury goods, clothes, trousers, sneakers and rackets are all sponsored, and there is nothing to spend money on. Every time she takes the endorsement fee, she first takes part of it to support public welfare undertakings. Every year, he donates a large amount of money to the training base of the Binhai Provincial Team, but he didn't even buy a house.

"Then why did you think of buying a car this time?"

Xie Shi'an turned his face away.

"I...can't walk?"

"Didn't you just tell someone that you want to travel by car? How do you usually have time to go out?"

Seeing her dodging her eyes left and right like a rabbit, Jian Changnian found it extremely funny, and asked the question knowingly.

"Isn't this thinking that grandma will come to Beijing to play occasionally? It's more convenient to have a car..."

Before she finished speaking, Jian Changnian jumped up and down in front of her, forcing her to stop.

The boy's eyes were as bright as stars.

I don't know when, she has been taller than her.

"Shi'an, don't you like me playing with Lu Xiaoting and the others?"

Being looked at like this, Xie Shi'an pursed his lips awkwardly, his mind was punctured, and a blush appeared on his fair cheeks.

"I…"

Before she could speak, Jian Changnian smiled brightly, looked at her seriously and said.

"If you don't like it, I won't play with them. I won't do anything that makes Xie Shi'an unhappy."

She said this as if she was petty, but the sweetness melted in her heart bit by bit.

She was always honest no matter what, so Xie Shi'an followed her example and tried to speak out what was in her heart, even though she was still a little uncomfortable.

"Actually, there is no dislike. Lu Xiaoting is a nice person, but... I just want you to stay away from Gao Jian."

Jian Changnian blinked.

"What's the matter with Gao Jian?"

"Anyway, anyway, you just need to stay away from him."

Xie Shi'an didn't want to say any more, lowered his eyes, walked away from her, but was grabbed by the wrist again.

Jian Changnian only thought that she was against men, and didn't think deeply about it.

"Okay~ I'll delete him when I go back."

"That wouldn't be the case..."

"It's okay, I don't know him well anyway."

As soon as Jian Changnian finished speaking, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the red light at the intersection turn green, and took her hand and ran across the zebra crossing.

"Don't talk about these unhappy things, you booked a car today, it's worth celebrating, let me treat you to hot pot!"

Midsummer light year, the evening at the end of July.

The wind crossed the long street, shaking the leaves, and the young man's hair and clothes fluttered. Xie Shi'an was startled, and slowly returned to hold her hand, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Okay, let's eat the Chongqing hot pot last time."

"OK~"

After that, in order to prepare for the Tangyu Cup held in New Delhi, India at the end of the year, they were also busy. Tolu Xiaoting brought some food over.

Jian Changnian also confiscated it, so he couldn't refuse, so he distributed it to his teammates.

Xie Shi'an threw it into the trash can every time.

"Don't you know you can't eat indiscriminately before the game? Who knows if it's poisonous or not."

In the blink of an eye, it was game day.

After a week of hard work, the Chinese women's badminton team defeated the Indonesian team, a traditional Asian team, and won the Uber Cup championship. The South Korean team has been a bit depressed since the Asian Games, and this time it did not even make it to the final. Worst ever finish in only fourth place.

The men's team also performed well, and won the runner-up in the Thomas Cup. Wan Jing was happy, so he planned to have a dinner with the two teams, which can be regarded as a reward for everyone's hard work these days.

Even though Xie Shi'an doesn't like this kind of noisy occasion, but as the face of the women's team, he still has to do some face-saving work.

Fortunately, there is Jian Changnian by her side, she is responsible for getting along with everyone, and she only needs to echo a few words from time to time.

"Oh, let me tell you, you didn't see it. In the last game, sister An reversed and won the championship. The smash was so fierce that it made the face of the Indonesian player on the opposite side pale. I lifted the quilt to sleep tonight and saw everything. It's Miss An!"

Lu Xiaoting's vivid description made everyone at the table laugh. Gao Jian was also pulled over to sit at this table because he knew her well, watching Jian Changnian talking to everyone while giving Xie Shian a bowl from time to time. There are vegetables in it.

"I don't eat that, it's not spicy enough."

"What's the matter with eating some green vegetables, supplement vitamins!"

While talking, Jian Changnian peeled another shrimp for her, dipped it in the sauce and put it on the plate in front of her.

Gao Jian said suddenly.

"Sister An is the technical ceiling of the women's team. If there is a chance, I would like to see it."

When Xie Shi'an heard this, he raised his head and glanced at him.

"I'm sorry, you've been in the team longer than me, don't talk about Sister An's words one by one, I'm not used to it."

"Isn't this Xiaoting, Chang Nian they all call that..."

"They are them, and you are you."

The implication: come less to get close.

Gao Jian tightly squeezed the cup in his hand, and after a while, he loosened it again, with a warm smile on his face.

"Okay, then I will apologize to you for this cup."

Xie Shi'an didn't touch him, just picked it up and drank it. Everyone at the table looked at each other and felt that something was wrong, but Lu Xiaoting jumped out again to smooth things over.

"Hey, brother, don't just talk about our women's team games, but also talk about yours."

"We didn't win the championship again, so what can we say?"

"Come on, that German player, the one who played against you, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, very handsome, did you help me get an autograph?"

Xie Shi'an was physically and mentally exhausted after the game and had no appetite, and with Gao Jian here, she felt more and more dull. After a few bites, she said that she was tired and wanted to go back to rest.

She left, Jian Changnian didn't stay long, and went back after her.

After the dinner party, it was already late at night. Gao Jian sent Lu Xiaoting back to the apartment. When she walked downstairs, she suddenly stopped and turned around to say something.

"Brother, are you interested in Chang Nian?"

Gao Jian was startled, but he didn't want to hide it from her.

"How did you get it?"

"We played together when we were in high school, don't I know you yet? You also asked me to send love letters to the girl you like when you were in high school."

Gao Jian slightly bent his lips and said seriously.

"Then can you help me again?"

The expression on Lu Xiaoting's face was hesitant to speak.

"If you think about it often, forget it."

"What do you say? Does she have someone she likes?"

"Then I haven't heard her mention it, but you've seen it too. She doesn't call you at all. She's a careless person, and she doesn't have any thoughts here."

Gao Jian smiled wryly.

"It's fine if you don't have someone you like, Junior Sister, please help me one more time, just one time. I want to ask her out to have a formal talk during the New Year's Eve. I'll admit it if it doesn't work."

Although the task of the competition was over, Xie Shi'an was the busiest period of time before the year. The major sponsors wanted to catch up with the Spring Festival. It just so happened that her schedule was free again. Also shoot some magazine covers.

On the monitor, she has exquisite makeup, and she is not the kind of public face. She is a very recognizable beauty. She has a sense of desertedness on her body. What is even more rare is that she is well-proportioned and full of vitality because of her physical training. powerful.

The director is full of praise for every commercial shot.

"It's a pity that Mr. Xie doesn't make movies because of his own conditions."

Xie Shi'an just smiled: "You're too good at it. I'm a professional athlete, and playing basketball is my job."

"Then let's stop here today. Teacher Xie has worked hard. Why don't we have a meal together later, and we'll send you back when it's over?"

Xie Shi'an looked at his watch, it's New Year's Eve, and he made an appointment with Jian Changnian to watch a movie in the evening.

"No, I have something else to do. I drove here by myself, so I won't bother the crew. See you later."

"Hey, okay, thank you teacher and see you later."

The on-site staff said goodbye to her, and enthusiastically stuffed some products of their own company over.

Xie Shi'an opened the car door and put it in. Today's filming was a chocolate advertisement, and a small card with the slogan was stuffed on the beautifully packaged gift box: The heart that loves you is as sweet as chocolate.

She glanced at it, and wanted to tear it up, but then thought that Chang Nian likes sweets, forget it, take it back and give it to her.

Said that Cao Cao arrived, someone's call came right away.

Jian Changnian's voice sounded quite gritted.

"What time is it? Is your advertisement going to be filmed until tomorrow morning?"

Xie Shi'an was wearing a bluetooth headset, and while steering the steering wheel, he observed the road conditions. The New Year's Eve Beijing city was still a bit congested.

"You change your clothes and prepare to go downstairs, I'll be right there."

Jian Changnian grinned and hummed twice again.

"That's about the same, see you later."

Xie Shi'an said happily, "See you later."

Just as Jian Changnian packed her things and was about to go downstairs, there was a knock on the door, and she ran over excitedly and opened the door.

"pickup…"

The person standing outside the door is Lu Xiaoting.

"What's wrong, follow me to the convenience store to buy something."

Jian Changnian declined: "I'll go out later."

"It's just downstairs. I'll be back in a while. It won't delay you much."

Jian Changnian thought about it, she was going down anyway, so she was half dragged and half dragged away.

When she arrived at the apartment building, she didn't see Xie Shi'an, but saw another person she didn't want to see.

Gao Jian stood waiting for her in the open space in front of the apartment, surrounded by a circle of heart-shaped candles and scattered rose petals.

Jian Changnian took two steps back, was about to run, but was pushed by a group of bad friends, Gao Jian stretched out his hand to help her.

"You... can you hear me out?"

It was the first time for Jian Changnian to face such a situation, his face panicked, and he quickly withdrew his arm from his hand.

"You, you can say it, don't talk about it."

The onlookers watched with gusto and joy.

"It looks like there's something going on."

Lu Xiaoting pulled him away.

"Let's go, let's go, don't look at it, let them talk quietly."

"Oh, I haven't finished watching yet."

Gao Jian glanced back and saw that everyone was almost gone, so he took out a bouquet of roses from behind and handed it to her.

"I asked Xiaoting to call you down. They are all gone. Don't be shy."

"To be honest, since I played with you for the first time, I think you play really well. In the women's team, your skills are one-on-one."

"Afterwards, I will watch every game of yours when I am free. I think your character off the court is also very cute and innocent. When I went out to play that time, I asked for your phone number. I was really special. Happy, didn't sleep well all night."

"Although you have been avoiding me intentionally or unintentionally, I heard from Xiaoting that you... have no one you like, so I have the courage to confess my love and give it a try."

"Chang Nian, I like you, can you give me a chance to be your boyfriend?"

Xie Shi'an parked the car and didn't answer her call, so he was going to go upstairs to find her. After walking two steps, he remembered that he didn't take the chocolate, so he went back to get it, and then he slammed the door of the car contentedly.

However, before she entered the apartment, she saw this scene, as if all her strength was drained in an instant.

Xie Shi'an froze in place, unable to move.

The boy's confession is warm, sincere and from the heart.

But Jian Changnian's heart was only flustered and overwhelmed, without any sweet feeling at all.

She even felt a little offended and took a step back.

"No... No, no, I think you may have misunderstood. Although I don't like anyone, I also..."

do not like you.

Before she could finish speaking, Gao Jian took a step forward, stuffed the flowers into her hand, held her hand, and spoke earnestly.

"We can give it a try. Isn't the relationship cultivated slowly? You see, we are about the same age, and we both play in the national team. We usually have common topics. Even if we are together, the coach will not say anything. , from all aspects of the conditions, it is very suitable, isn't it?"

Xie Shi'an has always been a person with a strong sense of boundaries. At that moment, she was surprisingly angry, and felt that her own things were coveted by others. She clenched her fists tightly, and her nails sank deep into the flesh. After calming down, she felt There was a dense coolness again.

It turned out that she had unconsciously added two words in front of Jian Chang's name: mine.

It turned out that the reason why she was so resistant to Gao Jian approaching her was because of jealousy.

Xie Shi'an, who finally came to realize belatedly, moved his lips, seemingly unbelievable, took two steps back, and then no longer had the courage to stand here, and could only flee in embarrassment.

Jian Changnian pushed the person away, and the flower fell on him.

"Being suitable doesn't mean I like you! Then I think the stray cats and dogs in our training base are also very suitable together! Don't bother me anymore, I really don't like you!"

Gao Jian also had red eyes and raised his voice.

"Then who do you like?! Xie Shi'an?!"

When the name came out of his mouth, Jian Changnian's whole head buzzed.

She blushed and backed away again and again, trying to find an excuse to refute, but she couldn't even find a reason not to like her.

Jian Changnian was angry and anxious, and more importantly, his heart was about to jump out. The person who was plausible just now was speechless, turned his head and ran away with red eyes.

"You...don't talk nonsense! How could I like her! I don't want to fall in love, so don't bother me anymore!"

Xie Shi'an returned to the car, the doors were locked, and she raised all the windows.

The scene of Gao Jian holding her watch and whitening just now played back repeatedly in his mind.

Yes, it's suitable. Not only are they similar in age and occupation, but even their gender is a match made in heaven.

She will never forget that when she confessed everything to Qiao Yuchu, she scolded herself as "disgusting".

Of course Jian Changnian is not Qiao Yuchu, but as a friend, hasn't she and Qiao Yuchu known each other longer than Jian Changnian?

not yet...

If... If she knew that she had unreasonable thoughts about her, wouldn't she also feel disgusted?

After all, she had said it herself.

"Isn't your friend my friend? The national team is all straight girls. Where can I introduce you? Besides, if you want to talk about it, don't talk about it in the team. It's a bad influence."

Xie Shi'an is no longer the person who jumped into the pond when he was 18 years old to prove that the person he likes also cares about him. Such recklessness is enough once in a lifetime.

Now Xie Shi'an just wants to keep the remaining beauty in her life, she has lost too many things in her life.

But why...why...it was her.

If it was someone else, she could still try to fight for it, but Chang Nian, who likes her so much, admires her Chang Nian, and chases her step by step to get here, treats her as a senior sister, as a Loved ones often think about it.

Xie Shi'an buried her head on the steering wheel, allowing layer after layer of guilt to surge from the bottom of her heart, completely overwhelming her.

Xie Shi'an, you are really nothing.

A drop of crystal tear across the corner of her eyes.

It would be nice if things like this can be controlled.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the phone thrown on the co-pilot kept vibrating, turning on and off, then turning on and off again.

"Where are you? Why didn't you answer the call? Isn't it over yet?"

Jian Changnian, who came back to the room, was restless and kept calling her, but when she saw no answer, she sent her a message again.

She stared nervously at her phone, waiting for her reply.

"No, I was called back temporarily, and I have to make up for it. It may not end tonight. You can watch the movie yourself, sorry."

Ding dong—

The phone rang again.

Jian Changnian breathed a sigh of relief, since he didn't come back, he probably didn't see the scene where Gao Jian confessed his love to her.

She is also upset tonight, so it's okay if she doesn't go.

"It's okay, work is important, let's watch it together next time."

When Xie Shi'an threw the phone back to the co-pilot, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the box of chocolates again. She opened it and ate one, only taking a bite.

so bitter.
