The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine

Chapter 132: Finale (2)

Compared with the fireworks display in Yokohama, the fireworks display is much more novel and interesting.

The streets were crowded with men and women in bathrobes, and clogs stepped on the ground, making a crisp and powerful clicking sound. There were also various food stalls and specialty products on the side of the road.

They walked all the way, talking and laughing, bought a lot of odds and ends, ate apple candy, bought oden, and shared them like that year. In the end, Jian Changnian even brought two small bottles of shochu.

Xie Shi'an couldn't laugh or cry: "When did you become a drunkard, don't think that you can be under the nose of the coach when you are on vacation...Hey!"

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged into a yukata shop by the roadside. When he came out, Xie Shi'an was still a little awkward.

"Wouldn't it be weird?"

The woman has slender shoulders and a narrow waist, with a slender figure, which is actually very suitable for wearing a kimono. Her hair is also coiled up, revealing her slender and fair nape. When she went out today, she specially put on light makeup and lipstick to complement the outfit. It's getting brighter and more attractive.

With a thought in mind, Jian Chang raised her hand and gently brushed the broken hair from her cheeks behind her ears: "Why, it's so beautiful."

A red cloud flew up his cheeks, Xie Shi'an turned his eyes away, and pulled the person away: "Let's go, the fireworks show is about to start."

"Hey, slow down, I'm not used to walking in clogs..."

Not to mention wearing clogs, Jian Changnian rarely even wears high heels, unless she needs to be on a show, shoot a magazine cover, etc. The skirt wraps her legs, and she can't walk, she can't even walk normally, almost Shun turn.

Seeing her embarrassment, Xie Shi'an couldn't help laughing out loud, tears were about to come out.

"so stupid!"

"Stop, don't run!"

Jian Changnian chased after her, and the two raised a handful of seawater and splashed it over, not to be outdone. Xie Shi'an was caught in the face, and also started to fight back. The two chased and fought along the coastline, and the waves washed over their toes. The crisp laughter spread far away.

Seeing such a heartfelt and undisguised smile on her face again, Jian Changnian's heart was also soft and messed up: "Shi'an, look here."

When she turned her head, Jian Changnian just raised the phone and pressed the shutter with a click.

The girl in the photo is wearing a yukata and kimono, holding a firework stick in her hand, her eyes are clear, her smile is gentle and moving, and the rays of the setting sun shone on the sea, eclipsing even the sky and the earth.

By the time the last rays of the setting sun disappeared into the sea level, the beach was already crowded with people.

Xie Shi'an and Jian Changnian also found a place to sit down.

bang bang.

A beam of bright light instantly illuminated the entire night sky, and colorful stars floated in everyone's pupils.

There are people laughing, praying, taking pictures, and couples kissing affectionately.

Xie Shi'an looked up at the fireworks.

"It's so beautiful, even more beautiful than what we saw in Yokohama."

Jane Changnian was looking at her.

"Yeah, but speaking of it, why do you want to have a tattoo of fireworks on your wrist, why not someone else?"

Xie Shi'an smiled slightly.

"I like fireworks, shooting stars, badminton, and everything that is gorgeous but fleeting, but occasionally I want to keep these beautiful things."

"Do you remember what I said to you when I was drunk in Yokohama that year?"

Of course Xie Shi'an remembered, she remembered every word she said, and there were many difficult moments in the United States, all of which were supported by their good memories from the past.

It's just that she was young and frivolous at that time, and the years passed quickly. She had witnessed too much time and change, and she no longer dared to easily believe in promises. In this regard, she was exactly the same as Jin Nanzhi.

The fireworks overhead are still in full bloom.

The waves lapped on the sand.

"Remember, you're drunk..."

Watched by her like this, Xie Shi'an seemed to drown in her black gentle vortex at any moment.

The roots of her ears were getting hotter and hotter, she moved her eyes a little awkwardly, not knowing how to answer the conversation.

Jian Changnian's velvet box has been hidden in her sleeve for a whole day, she is also a little nervous, her palms are sweaty, but she still wants to give her all the most beautiful things in the world.

"Look, the summer is over and next year, when the fireworks in Yokohama are over, I'll take you to see another show. So many years have passed, and I haven't...leaved you."

"These words have been buried in my heart for a long time. I always wanted to find an opportunity to tell you. I don't know when I found that I like you more than badminton."

"I know that you want to win the championship and the Grand Slam, so I practiced desperately, just hoping that one day, I can fulfill the wish of you and Coach Yan, and then stand in front of you dignifiedly, and tell you—"

"The gold medal belongs to you, and you belong to me."

When she spoke the first sentence, Xie Shi'an's eyes were filled with tears, and when she took out the ring, all the stars fell from the sky.

Xie Shi'an covered his lips with his hands.

"Shi'an, we used to be friends, partners, and confidants. Now, can you...can you give me a chance to be your family and spend the rest of your life together."

Jian Changnian's eyes were also slightly red, and he handed the ring in front of her, and when he was about to kneel down on one knee, Xie Shi'an rushed over, and the two bumped into each other, hugging each other.

"Okay, stop kneeling, I...I am willing."

Jian Changnian was overjoyed, wept with joy, choked up in disbelief, and asked again: "What did you say?"

"I said, I do! I love you!"

Jian Changnian hugged him up and turned around.

"I love you too! Jian Changnian will always love Xie Shi'an!"

The moment she put the ring on her ring finger, thousands of fireworks exploded and the night sky was illuminated like day.

The lights were bright, reflecting in their eyes.

A pair of wall people snuggled together.

Jian Changnian looked at her lips, and slowly leaned towards her. This time, Xie Shi'an didn't dodge again, and gently closed his eyes.

＊＊＊

It's another Spring Festival.

The two went home for the New Year as usual.

After returning from sweeping grandma's grave in the countryside, it was already dusk, and Cheng Zhen called and asked them to go to the store for New Year's Eve dinner.

When the two drove to the city, night had already fallen, snowflakes were falling outside, and there were still many customers in the store.

Jian Changnian pushed the door in with the gift, and Xie Shi'an followed behind her, putting away the umbrella.

"Hey, today's New Year's Eve, there are so many people, your business is really good enough."

After Cheng Zhen was released from prison, he wanted to find a job, but because he had no education and a criminal record, he was rejected frequently. When he was discouraged, they lent him some money to open his barbecue restaurant.

He just happened to have the experience of helping the canteen in the canteen, frying and frying were no problem, and soon the business was booming.

It's not that old, and there are not enough manpower. He, the boss, also put on an apron. He is also a cook and a shop assistant. When he saw them coming, he hurriedly welcomed them in.

"Shi'an, Chang Nian, I've waited for you for a long time, it's considered to be here, sit down quickly, the food will be ready in no time!"

"You make less, just a few of us, too much can't be eaten, it's a waste."

Before Jian Changnian finished speaking, the old man sitting on the table in front of him turned his face: "Who said it was just you?"

Xie Shi'an was also surprised.

"Coach Wan, why are you here?"

"I'll come and see my senior brother. It just so happens that it's snowing heavily. Let's rest for a day and go back tomorrow."

Jian Changnian was grinning, not doing anything right.

"Could it be to follow us?"

Wan Jing picked up his chopsticks, ready to strike.

"What are you talking about? I arrived earlier than you guys. I think you're getting older and younger. Shi'an, you have to take good care of her. It's okay, it's all on the coach's head."

"Oh, she has the final say on the matter of competition training, but on matters of life, you have to listen to me."

Xie Shi'an's face turned red when he said this, as if he remembered some memories that he was embarrassed to say, and seeing that she was about to pour wine for Wan Jing, he poured a full glass himself, and frowned slightly.

"You can drink it by yourself. I don't know that Coach Wan is now told by the fatty liver doctor to drink less!"

"I know, I know, I was wrong..." Not to mention frowning, she looked at her, and Jian Changnian wanted to surrender, feeling wronged, and muttered in a low voice.

The wind chime at the door rang again.

"Yo, it's all here."

They looked up and saw that Coach Liang had also come. His health was not as good as before. Years of coaching made him sick from overwork and he had to use a cane early.

Xie Shi'an stood up, and quickly helped him to sit down.

"Coach Liang, why are you here?"

"Not only me."

Jian Changnian looked back, Zhang Chun, Yang Li, and a few old friends from the Binhai provincial team all walked in through the curtain.

"Would you not welcome us?"

She jumped and ran over, and hugged him tightly: "Long time no see, I miss you so much!"

"Yeah, long time no see. In the blink of an eye, the original bean sprouts became the world champion!"

Speaking of the old things in the past, a bunch of people laughed again.

Qiao Yuchu was the last one to come in, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

"I happened to go home with my mother this year to pay respects to our ancestors. I heard from Coach Liang that our Binhai provincial team had a party, so..."

No matter when and where, even if it has been so many years, everyone will add "we" and "us" in front of the coastal province team.

In the hearts of these young people, the Binhai Provincial Team will always be their home, and Coach Yan will always be their teacher.

Xie Shi'an moved the chair away.

"Come on, sit down."

Almost everyone has arrived, and Cheng Zhen hurriedly brought out the dishes from the back kitchen.

"You grill some meat first, and there are a few dishes that will be ready soon. If you need anything, call the waiter."

"Don't, don't, don't be busy, sit down and eat together, by the way, why didn't you see Mu Mu?" Jian Chang read.

Cheng Zhen wiped his hands on the apron.

"Hey, I'm busy. I'm still filming on New Year's Eve. You guys eat first. Don't wait for her. I'll give her a call."

Xie Shi'an also put down his chopsticks.

"Aren't they all pregnant? Still so busy."

While talking, the wind chime at the door rang again.

"I have to work even when I'm pregnant. When will our business be over, and when will the work be over?"

"Honey, you're back!" The moment he saw Zhou Mu, Cheng Zhen's eyes lit up, and he was the first to go up to her, took the luggage from her hand, and touched her belly.

"I said I'll pick you up, but you still won't let me go. The big ones are big, the small ones are small, and it's snowing again at night. What if something happens?"

"Don't be poor, I came back by the car of the film crew, what can happen, if you leave, can the business of this store still be done?"

"Look, it's so boring, I said at that time, these two will definitely work!"

The enthusiasm between the two aroused the roar of laughter from the onlookers, and the topic was brought here again.

"There should be no singles at our table now, right?"

Everyone turned their attention to Jian Changnian.

Jian Changnian shook the ring on her hand.

"Don't look at me, I'm not."

Xie Shi'an also wore the same style on his ring finger, pursed his lips and leaned on the chair and laughed, his face flushed slightly.

A table of people suddenly exploded.

"No, no, no, Miss An is a flower in our Binhai provincial team. How many people like her, you have to drink it!"

"Hey, don't feed her..."

The old friends reunited, the lover was by my side, and it coincided with the auspicious snow year. When the clock struck zero, fireworks were in full bloom outside.

Everyone at the table raised their wine glasses and stood up with smiles on their faces: "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

When Jian Changnian sat down, she lightly touched the empty glass next to her again, and then she lifted it up and drank it all in one gulp.

Happy New Year, Coach Yan.

May each of us be happy.

Five years later.

The first domestic documentary "Meteor" with the theme of athletes was released. Once it was broadcast, it quickly became popular all over the country. In that year, "Meteor" broke into the Berlin Film Festival with its novel theme and sincere narrative. The main competition unit, and won the Best Documentary Award.

At the screening ceremony, the curtain slowly opened.

The camera followed the young boy who played alone in the small mountain village, step by step out of the depths of the mountain, met the rebellious badminton genius girl, also met his mentor, gained a period of sincere friendship, and left a lot of regrets .

The end of the story.

Cheng Zhen was released after serving his sentence and opened a barbecue restaurant.

Kim Nam-ji immigrated to Canada, lived happily with his lover, and continued to fight in the field he loves, while Park Min-heon reaped the consequences and went to jail.

After all the truth came to light, Kim Nam-ji and Choi Hye-hee's original results were cancelled, Xie Shi'an also received a belated gift, and the International Olympic Organizing Committee reissued her the Rio Olympic women's doubles gold medal, which finally got her wish.

And the teenager who played alone at the beginning has also become an Olympic champion, the first female player in China to win a Grand Slam.

When the music started, the audience burst into applause.

But the picture became black and white again, and the faces of the teenagers appeared on it, smiling and greeting everyone, just like before.

"Hi everyone, I'm Jin Nanzhi from the Beijing team."

"Hello, I'm Yin Jiayi, the captain of the Chinese team."

"Hello, Binhai Provincial Swimming Team, Cheng Zhen."

"Hi, I'm Zhou Mu from Chengnan No. 1 Middle School, Grade 1 and Class 3. Nice to meet you!"

"The head coach of the Binhai Provincial Team, Yan Xinyuan, is a strict teacher who produces excellent apprentices."

"Assistant coach of Binhai Provincial Team, Liang Yize."

"Binhai Provincial Team, Yang Li."

"Binhai Provincial Team, Zhang Chun."

"Binhai Provincial Team, Qiao Yuchu."
