The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine

Chapter 13: distance(1)

Not long after Xie Shi'an and the others left, someone knocked on the door, and Jian Changnian sat up and answered, "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and it was Sun Qian again.

Because she helped him during the training just now, Jian Changnian was quite surprised, but because of the previous incident, his expression could not be considered warm.

"How did you come?"

Sun Qian walked to her bedside, spread her palms, and handed her a piece of chocolate.

"I heard that you are in the infirmary, so come and have a look. If you have low blood sugar, eating a piece of chocolate will help you."

Jian Changnian sat and didn't answer: "Thank you, I'm fine now,"

Sun Qian smiled and put the chocolate on her bedside. There are only two of them here, so she can be more frank.

"Are you still brooding over what happened that day?"

Jane often read silence.

"I think you should be able to understand me..." Sun Qian looked down at her old sneakers that were full of patches beside the bed. Although Jian Changnian bought new shoes, she was still reluctant to wear them, and put them away as soon as she returned to the dormitory.

"One thousand dollars may not be a big deal to others, but to people like us, it's really not a small amount. Sometimes, it can save lives."

Jian Changnian tightened the corners of her lips: "That can't be... let's play a fake match."

Saying these four words, she felt that she had insulted her beloved badminton.

Sun Qian also knew that what happened that day was indeed her fault. Hearing what she said, her eyes immediately turned red. Once popular, it is easy to make people feel pity.

"I'm sorry, but I really, really want to win, and I really need that money. I really have no choice but to beg you..."

"Believe it or not, I really want to be friends with you, and I really came here because I wanted to continue playing."

Jian Changnian couldn't bear girls crying the most in his life, and she helped him during training and gave him chocolates, even though he was hard-hearted, he felt a little soft-hearted at this moment, so he quickly pulled a tissue to her.

"Hey, don't cry..."

Before she finished speaking, the door of the infirmary was pushed open, and Yan Xinyuan walked in.

"Yo, what's the matter?"

Seeing him coming, Sun Qian immediately wiped away her tears and stood up.

"Coach Yan, it's okay. I'm chatting with Chang Nian. You must have something to talk to her about. Then I'll go back first."

After all, he left the infirmary straight away.

"Hey, let's go now? I have nothing to do..." Yan Xinyuan still wanted to stay, but he had already gone far away, and he was a little confused by Monk Zhang Er.

"Coach Yan..." Seeing Yan Xinyuan come in, Jian Changnian struggled to get up from the bed.

Yan Xinyuan held her down and tucked the corner of the quilt for her.

"Hey, don't move, the injection is not finished yet."

Jian Changnian smiled, and then lay down again.

"Coach Yan, how did I come back?"

Before she passed out completely, she only remembered someone calling her name, and she woke up lying in the infirmary.

"It was Xie Shi'an who carried you back."

"Ahem..." Jian Changnian choked on his own saliva.

No matter how much she thought about it, she didn't expect it to be her.

Yan Xinyuan poured her a glass of water from the kettle on the table.

"In order to save you, Xie Shi'an and Qiao Yuchu, the results this time are all bottom-to-bottom. Of course, there is also you."

Jian Changnian was a little ashamed for what he said, but he changed a little bit and apologized to Xie Shi'an.

It turns out that a person who looks so arrogant and selfish on the surface also has such a kind and soft side.

"I will definitely thank her some other day."

Yan Xinyuan smiled: "I didn't expect that she could run back to save you, it's just Jane—"

He paused for a moment, and spoke earnestly.

"Of course grades are important, but the body is even more important. In the future, we can no longer participate in training on an empty stomach like this."

Jian Changnian stuck out her tongue: "Understood, Coach Yan."

"By the way, what were you talking about just now?" Yan Xinyuan was still a little curious when he thought of the scene he saw when he came in. After all, it is his job to care about the physical and mental health of every team member.

"Just talk about the game in the gymnasium that day." Jian Changnian relayed to Yan Xinyuan exactly what Sun Qian said to her.

Yan Xinyuan sighed and said: "About her family situation, she didn't hide it from you. It's not the same as you. There is indeed a mother who is seriously ill in bed. Because of this, although I have a grudge against her, I still let her enter the house." The training team is here, I want to give her a fair chance to compete, as to whether she can seize this opportunity, it's up to her."

"Is that so..." After hearing what he said, Jian Changnian looked at the chocolate on the side of the pillow, and seemed to understand something.

"I see, Coach Yan, as a teammate, I will get along well with her."

Yan Xinyuan patted her on the shoulder: "It depends on fate to make friends. I just hope that during this training camp, you can all have a happy and fulfilling life. Even if everyone goes their separate ways after the training camp, think about it later. It can also be an unforgettable time.”

"Okay, I've finished talking, I wanted to bring you something to eat, but it seems that someone has already brought it to you first, so you rest, I'll go back first."

Having said that, Yan Xinyuan took out two oranges from his pocket and put them on the table.

Jian Changnian sat up slightly and said goodbye to him.

"Goodbye, Coach Yan."

***

After hanging up the water, Jian Changnian went to the cafeteria to eat something. After returning to the dormitory and taking a shower, she tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep. Maybe she slept too much in the afternoon.

The alarm clock on the table passed twelve o'clock. Jian Changnian opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. After thinking about it, she tiptoed out of bed, took a racket, and prepared to go to the training room to play some balls. What she didn't expect was this It was time, and the training room was brightly lit, and there were still people there.

Jian Changnian was a little curious, who could it be?

She walked over gently, and looked close to the crack of the door.

It's actually... Xie Shi'an!

She was the only one in the huge gymnasium. The badminton fell on the ground by Xie Shi'an's feet. She was like a tireless machine, swinging the racket to practice serving. In the empty training room, only the racket hit the badminton. Banging sound.

Jian Changnian's eyes widened.

It's been a long time since she played against her in the gymnasium of Jiangbei No. 2 Middle School. She has been here for the most basic physical fitness and footwork training for the past few days.

After such a long time, watching her play again, Xie Shi'an's footwork is still so light, as if she is dancing, but her swinging arm is so powerful, holding the racket in her hand is like holding a ball. A sword that draws a man's life.

When I played against her last time, I was only thinking about how to defend against the enemy. She is really good at playing.

Jian Changnian thought silently in her heart.

The opponent's movements stopped, Xie Shi'an propped his hands on his knees, panted with his head buried, and adjusted his breathing.

"I know you're there, come out."

"Wh...what...she saw me?" Jian Changnian was breathing tensely, holding on to the crack of the door and not daring to move.

Xie Shi'an sneered.

"Look at it for a long time, why don't you come out yet?"

Forget it, she found out anyway, and sooner or later, I will thank her face to face.

"I…"

Jian Changnian swallowed, when she was about to open the door and enter.

Another crisp and pleasant female voice came from the training room.

"Oh my god, do you have eyes in the back of your head? I didn't even make any sound."

Xie Shi'an turned his head and pouted in her direction.

"You didn't close the door when you came in. There was wind, and the wind would change the flight trajectory of the badminton. The landing point of my ball was always a little bit far from what I expected."

Qiao Yuchu looked back, and sure enough, the small door she came in was open and was swayed by the wind.

"Then how do you know it's me?"

Xie Shi'an smiled, didn't answer the question, and squatted on the ground to pick up the scattered badmintons.

Scared me.

Jian Changnian heaved a sigh of relief, cold sweat was dripping off her forehead, she gently moved her hand away from the doorknob, and then tiptoed back to the wall, when she was about to leave, she heard Qiao Yuchu ask.

"Are you still angry?"

"No." Xie Shi'an threw a badminton into the frame, and there was no emotion in his voice.

"Shi'an..." Qiao Yuchu called her name again.

A shadow fell in front of him, Xie Shi'an raised his head slightly, and there was a lollipop lying in Qiao Yuchu's palm, the familiar wrapping paper was her favorite strawberry flavor.

"When you were unhappy before, I always used this to coax you. Every time you finished eating candy, you would smile at me. Is it still the same now?"

When Xie Shi'an was young, her parents didn't love her or her mother. Only the neighbor's big sister took care of her the most. Every time she was bullied outside, it was Qiao Yuchu who coaxed her, comforted her, and even went to find those little gangsters for her. .

This candy was also used by Qiao Yuchu to coax her when the two met for the first time.

"Eat it, it won't hurt anymore."

After so many years, she has already passed the age of eating sweets, but Qiao Yuchu still remembers it.

Xie Shi'an concealed the tremor in his voice well.

"I don't like sugar anymore..."

Qiao Yuchu's eyes darkened, and her smile was a bit bitter.

"Yeah, I thought you..."

Can't bear to see her sad, Xie Shi'an interrupted her.

"However, I haven't eaten for a long time."

Qiao Yuchu's eyes lit up immediately, and she tore off the wrapping paper and handed it to her.

"Try it quickly. I know you like this. When my mother said she would send something to me last time, I asked her to buy it and send it together."

She puts her own preferences in her heart like this, treats her well, takes care of her, protects her for decades, how can she get angry.

Xie Shi'an took the lollipop and licked it. It was indeed the same taste as when he was a child. The sweetness dispelled a little bit of trouble in his heart.

When Qiao Yu saw her for the first time, her expression turned pale, and she deliberately pushed her nose on her face.

"Then you are not angry with me?"

This has been the case since I was a child, even if we quarreled and made up very quickly, Xie Shi'an turned his face away and said: "If you help me pick up these balls, I won't be angry."

Qiao Yuchu put his hips on his hips, deliberately aggressive.

"Well, you did a good job yourself, and let me be your free labor again."

Xie Shi'an scooped up a ball with a badminton racket and threw it into the frame without any mistakes.

"Since you were young, have you done such things rarely?"

"Hey—how did I hear a hint of not being ashamed, but proud?"

That is to say, if she really wanted to clean up the badmintons all over the floor by herself, she would have to pick them up in the middle of the night.

Qiao Yuchu resignedly rolled up her sleeves to accompany her. She hugged a frame in her arms and looked at Xie Shi'an while picking it up.

"Are you not angry?"

Regardless of Xie Shi'an's invulnerable appearance on the surface, he is actually a person who can hide things in his heart. When he was a child, he had a fever of 38.9 degrees, and he insisted on carrying it without telling anyone until he fainted in school. Unfortunately, the teacher found out and rushed him to the hospital.

Qiao Yuchu was afraid that she would have a pimple in her heart, after all, he poked her sore spot firmly with his quick tongue.

Xie Shi'an shook his head and threw another ball into the basket.

"You're right again."

"You know, that's not what I meant."

"Well, I know, but I also hope that sometimes, you can think of yourself more."

Xie Shi'an squatted to pick up the ball, and because of the lollipop in his mouth, his speech was a little slurred, which somehow made people feel a little cute.

Qiao Yuchu rubbed over and patted her head.

"I also know that you are just worried about me. I said something wrong about this today, but I just want you to make more friends, so that if one day I leave, you won't..."

Xie Shi'an raised his eyes, the corners of his eyes were a little red.

"Auntie is urging you to go home again?"

Qiao Yuchu is different from her. At the beginning, she played professionally only because of the extra points in the college entrance examination, and she was already twenty-five years old. Her best result was only the runner-up in the national competition. Influenced by various factors such as injuries, a The golden age of an athlete is very short-lived. Like Qiao Yuchu, who didn't have a lot of shots and didn't have much popularity, most of them would retire and go back to school, or find another way out.

Qiao Yuchu paused for a moment before picking up the last ball and putting it into the frame.

"Well, it's a cliché, we're done picking it up, let's go back."

Xie Shi'an straightened up, looked at her back and said.

"Together, we will definitely win the championship. The National Games, Asian Games, World Championships, Uber Cup, and even the Olympics, you believe in me, I will definitely lead you to win."

"You like badminton, and so do I, so... don't go, okay?"

Qiao Yuchu bent the corners of her lips, tears fell down, she raised her head and sucked her nose, forcing the remaining tears back, then turned around and walked towards her, hugging him into her arms.

"Okay, don't go, I will accompany you to win the championship."

Xie Shi'an let go of the hanging heart, finally smiled, and hugged her tightly like a tired bird returning to its nest.

"Well, that's a deal."

"Stingy ghost, hang yourself on the hook, and you can't change it for a hundred years. This is the head office."

Unknowingly, Jian Changnian outside the door had been standing here for a long time, and she couldn't tell whether it was because of curiosity or what, she wanted to leave, but was inexplicably stopped.

Jian Changnian thought to herself:

It turns out that the cold Xie Shi'an also has such a side. Is the relationship between her and Qiao Yuchu so good?

The two people in the training room were still chatting and laughing, but Jian Changnian who was outside the door turned around and left here alone.

It was windy and windy outside, and fallen leaves came in from the corridor. Jian Changnian rubbed her arms. She missed Zhou Mu a little bit. It feels good to have friends by her side.

***

Before returning to the dormitory, Jian Changnian still went to the public phone booth to call Zhou Mu. I don't know if she will answer it at this point.

Just as she was thinking like this, the phone was connected: "Hello, who is it?"

Jian Changnian smiled: "It's me, haven't you slept yet?"

"Oh, I'm a busy man. I finally thought of calling me in the past half a month. Have you made some new friends? You only hear new people laugh, so why do you see old people cry?" Zhou Mu's tone was rare. Complaining, playing tricks on purpose.

"What a mess, don't you have time, that is, today's typhoon canceled the outdoor training in the afternoon, so I have time." Jian Changnian couldn't help but burst out laughing, and leaned against the wall in a comfortable position Talk to her.

"Are you so busy?"

"Well, get up at 6:30 in the morning, start training at 7:00, rest from 1:00 to 2:00 noon, and have to train until evening after lunch, and I want to sleep when I come back."

Jian Changnian chatted with her about some life training matters.

"By the way, did you visit my grandma when you came home, her health..."

Zhou Mu hid under the quilt, read a novel with a flashlight, and chatted with her at the same time.

"Don't worry, grandma can already walk on the ground. By the way, she asked me to bring you some pickles you like, and I'll send them to you another day."

Jian Changnian quickly refused, asking her to help her hide it from her grandmother, and go home to help her visit the old man, she was already very sorry.

"No need, the pickles made by grandma are delicious, you can save them for dinner, the food in the cafeteria is the same anyway."

Zhou Mu chuckled: "Then I won't be polite, I'll eat half and leave you half."

"By the way, have you met Senior Cheng?" Zhou Mu asked in a low voice.

Jian Changnian shook her head: "Although the swimming team is next door, they are all in closed training, and you can't go out without asking for instructions."

"Is that so..." Zhou Mu couldn't hide the disappointment in his voice, and at the end, his eyes lit up again.

"You can't go out at will, so I will visit you on weekends and play with you at the head office!"

Jian Changnian was almost choked to death by his own saliva, how could this person think that it was only a matter of time!

"No, no, don't come..."

She hasn't figured out how to open her mouth to tell Zhou Mu about Sun Qian. If the two of them bump into each other, wouldn't it be that the enemies would be extremely jealous when they meet?

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhou Mu.

"Then I don't care. People can visit the prison even if they are in prison. Your training team can't be better than being in prison."

What Jian Changnian wanted to say, Zhou Mu didn't give her a chance to refute at all, only heard a commotion, and then the sound of beeping.

"Okay, I won't tell you anymore, the housekeeper is here to check the bed! See you on Saturday!"

Jian Changnian held the receiver, dumbfounded, well, it's better not to make this call.

***

Counting the days, it has been more than half a month since I came to the training camp. Yan Xinyuan has played a variety of tricks in torturing them, and he has never been soft. Although the training is cruel, the results are obvious to all. At least Jian Changnian ran from the beginning If you don't go down 3000 meters, you can do it with ease.

It's just that her performance is still not very good in the actual combat every Friday. There is a whiteboard at the door of the training room, which will record the total number of games everyone has won since entering the training team, including small points. clearly.

Jian Changnian's ranking has been hovering at the bottom one or two. Yan Xinyuan said that there will be a monthly assessment every month. The assessment content includes physical fitness and actual combat results. Those who fail the results will be eliminated. Next Friday is the assessment day Yes, my grades are as "stable" as ever.

Before entering the training room, Jian Changnian glanced at the whiteboard at the door with a bitter smile.

Before coming to the training camp, she was still complacent about winning a goal against Xie Shi'an in the gymnasium, but now she realized that it was really just a fluke, because now with her results, she couldn't be assigned to Xie Shi'an's group at all. Even in Group D, which had the worst overall performance, she was the bottom one.

She also didn't understand why she had put in a hundredfold effort to train hard, and even often practiced alone until late at night, but her skills were still inferior to others. Could it be that she really didn't have the talent to play?

In this environment, the self-confidence that people have built up with great difficulty will be destroyed bit by bit.

Another ball landed and went out of bounds.

Because the match in Group D was played last, the teammates who had finished the game early and had nothing to do gathered around to watch the excitement and booed.

Yan Xinyuan frowned and whistled.

"Jian Changnian, can you play ball?! How do I teach you? Playing ball is like playing Go. Show me one step and three steps. Can that ball be played like that?! I can use my toes to know that. It will definitely be out of bounds! If you serve this kind of stinky ball again, you pack up and go home!"

He has always been harsh and unkind during training.

Jian Changnian blushed, took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, raised her racket, and took a defensive posture.

The more she wants to play well, the more she can't play well.

Zhao Qidong on the opposite side was grinning and grimacing.

"Hey, bean sprouts, can you do it? It's the second game, I remember you haven't won this week, how about I give you a few balls?"

"Stop talking nonsense, do you still want to fight?" Jian Changnian gritted her teeth, and glanced at the crowd watching. Most of the training team had come, and the space that was not spacious at all was filled with water.

While she was playing, someone was pointing outside the court.

"Hey, that ball, no, it should be pushed flat to the net."

"Footwork, pay attention to footwork, you cut him, what are you afraid of!"

"Backcourt, backcourt, he's going to hit the long ball!"

There seemed to be a thousand flies flying around Jian Changnian's ears, and her head was buzzing. In addition, Zhao Qidong kept making funny faces, sticking out her tongue and poking her butt, doing various small movements to disturb her thinking and playing style.

The more she reminded herself not to be disturbed by these off-site factors, the more she cared about the voices of these people.

After falling again because of saving a ball, Jian Changnian's eyes were red, he stood up, and cast a look of help to Yan Xinyuan: "Coach, this way... I can't fight."

Yan Xinyuan sat motionless on the chair without frowning.

"What is this? You can't take it if dozens of people fight around you? When you are on the field, there are hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people. If one person coughs, it will be a mountain roar and a tsunami. Are you telling the coach that you can't fight?" ?”

Jian Changnian pointed at Zhao Qidong: "But he made funny faces to influence me."

Zhao Qidong shrugged indifferently.

"Then I have an itchy nose. The rules don't say that picking boogers is not allowed?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Yan Xinyuan still sat without moving, his expression became even colder.

"Could it be that you expect that every opponent you meet in the future will only stand there and receive the serve like the assistant coach? Let me tell you, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, it's too much! Don't fight Just get the **** out of me!"

Although he knew that Yan Xinyuan was always strict during training, Jian Changnian was aggrieved when he was pointed at his nose and scolded in public. His eyes were slightly red, and he sucked his nose to force back the tears.

Of course she lost that match without any surprise.

After the beating, Sun Qian came over to comfort her: "Are you okay?"

Jian Changnian was sitting buried in the steps in front of the training room, replaying the scene of the match just now in her mind. She raised her head, saw that it was her, and smiled slightly.

"fine."

Sun Qian handed her a bottle of mineral water: "Although Zhao Qidong was also assigned to Group D, he is an old player after all, and his strength is still very strong."

Jian Changnian never thought that it would be her who came to comfort herself. She was clearly defeated half a month ago, but after the days of intensive training, Sun Qian has made rapid progress, and her grades have risen to the middle of Group D.

Thinking of this, Jian Chang felt even more uncomfortable.

"Everyone is making progress, only me..."

Sun Qian patted her on the shoulder and said: "Didn't Coach Yan also say that your foundation is weak, I have also played on the school team for a few years anyway, after a while, your foundation is solid, and your grades will be good." got up."

Jian Changnian smiled wryly, unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and took a sip, obviously a little depressed, and didn't want to answer her words.

Sun Qian was also very sensible and changed the subject.

"By the way, coach Yan has granted everyone a day off tomorrow, why not take this opportunity to go out and play together and relax."

Jian Changnian shook her head: "I still fight like this in training every day, how dare I relax."

"That's fine, then I'll go first." Sun Qian carried a shoulder bag and put on light makeup, as if she was going home.

Jian Changnian waved goodbye to her: "Goodbye."

For Jian Changnian, the only happy thing today is that she doesn't have to worry about Zhou Mu running into Sun Qian when she comes over tomorrow.

In the dormitory, Qiao Yuchu was also packing up.

"I'm going home tomorrow, would you like to go back with me?"

Xie Shi'an shook his head: "No, your family of three is reunited, what am I going to do?"

"What's the matter, didn't you often eat at my house when you were young?"

Xie Shi'an sat by the bed, watching her walking up and down the dormitory trying on clothes, busy.

"That was when I was a child, I was not sensible."

"That's right. When I was a child, I used to have one sister, but now I've turned my face and refused to recognize anyone." Qiao Yuchu took a red sweater and matched it with a skirt, and compared it in front of the mirror.

Xie Shi'an nodded: "That's it, it's pretty."

Qiao Yuchu looked at herself in the mirror. Because of the dinner at night, she deliberately put on light makeup. The red sweater lined her face to make her look more attractive. She was also very happy and very satisfied.

"Okay, I'll follow your orders, then I'm leaving—" Qiao Yuchu dragged out her voice, and came over to pinch her face before leaving.

"If you're bored, go to the next door to find orange juice, or go to the park to play chess or play chess, or you can come to my house, just one, pay attention to safety, don't cause trouble."

Xie Shi'an pushed him away with a hint of disgust on his face: "I know, I know, let's go."

With the sound of closing the door, the air returned to silence, the smile on Xie Shi'an's face disappeared, and there was a hint of loneliness between his brows.

***

the next day.

As soon as Zhou Mu came over, she saw her sullenly squatting on the side of the road.

She walked over and patted Jian Changnian on the shoulder: "What's the matter with you?"

Seeing that it was her who came, Jian Chang saw a smile on his face and got up.

"No, this is waiting for you."

Zhou Mu looked up at the gate of the training base curiously: "Wow, can I go in and visit?"

"Wait a minute, I'll ask the gatekeeper." Jian Changnian ran over to say something to the gatekeeper, signed the list of visitors, and then ran back.

"Let's go, I'll show you around."

I usually train, and Jian Changnian seldom goes out for a stroll. Today, I walked around with Zhou Mu, only to find that the training base is quite large.

The concrete road at the entrance extends all the way to the training building. Evergreen pines and cypresses are planted on the side of the road. The side of the building is covered with creepers. This season has turned yellow, and the ground is covered with leaves.

Next to the training building is the canteen where they usually eat, and behind it is a large playground.

As for the dormitory, it was inconvenient to take her there because of other roommates.

The two walked around and had nothing to do, so they went back to the training room to play badminton.

Zhou Mu obviously noticed the conspicuous whiteboard at the door when she entered, and she asked while serving the ball.

"So you will be assessed next week?"

Jian Chang wanted to swing the racket and send the ball back to her.

"Well, I don't know why, I've never won here, not even once."

Zhou Mu ran to the net to catch the ball, but failed.

Panting, she stopped, resting her racket on the ground to catch her breath.

"Have you ever thought that it's because you have too little game experience?"

Jian Changnian stopped serving the ball and blinked.

"How to say?"

"Hey, think about it, you have been playing alone since you were a child, or I played against you, it is rare to play a serious game with anyone, and, I am not talking about you, you are too introverted, he If you make a funny face, you just do it back, what are you afraid of, the worst is to hurt each other."

The corners of Jian Changnian's mouth twitched, it was really a way to kill one thousand enemies and hurt eight hundred.

She shook her head.

"No, I can't do it, and there are so many people around, talking all over the place, it's hard for me not to be affected, and I can play without distraction."

Zhou Mu thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he came to pull her.

"Take the racket and follow me to a place."

Jian Chang couldn't understand and was dragged away.

"Where to go?"

"In the city, People's Park."

People's Park, the largest political, cultural and entertainment center in Jiangcheng City, also serves as a blind date corner. Every weekend, in addition to some grandpas and aunts playing Tai Chi, diabolo and square dancing, young people also quickly occupy every corner of the park. Today is a rare good weather in autumn, and the sun shines through the leaves of sycamore trees. Sprinkle it down, and the person who shines is warm. The basketball court, table tennis court, and badminton court are bustling with people, so lively.

Zhou Mu pulled her through the crowd.

"It's here, look, I said there are many people playing badminton here, you still don't believe it."

This area is a specially vacated sports field. Several sports are separated by green barriers. The sightlines are fairly wide and there are many people around. Therefore, anyone who hits a good or bad ball will always There were boos.

Jian Changnian has gained a lot of knowledge: "There are so many people, how do you know this place?"

"I have played with friends from the school team a few times. Although the place is small, there are ring fights almost every week. There are so many masters!"

While Zhou Mu was talking, he saw the man in green clothes in the arena, who blocked the opponent's retreat with a smash, and couldn't help clapping his hands with the others.

Affected by this atmosphere, Jian Changnian also became excited.

"He's amazing! This must be at a professional level."

Someone nearby heard her words and responded.

"Hey, professional or not, most of the amateurs play wild ball here, just for fun, and there are not so many rules."

Zhou Mu bumped her shoulder: "Hey, what's the matter, do you want to go up and practice your hands?"

Seeing so many people, she was a little apprehensive.

Jian Changnian waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I can't beat them."

"Why can't it work! Didn't you still play well when you were in the gymnasium! Xie Shi'an is so strong, you also fought, and didn't you hear what they said? They are all amateurs, amateurs, you are afraid of being a professional What are they doing?!"

Zhou Mu looked more anxious than she: "The assessment is coming next week, Chang Nian, do you still want to continue playing professionally?!"

"I..." Jian Changnian choked, and his expression darkened.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. She was a newborn calf not afraid of tigers when she was in the gymnasium. After seeing the wider world, she sharpened her mood, but also her confidence.

She didn't believe in herself as much as before.

They were talking in this room, and the man on the field just walked aside to drink water, and was overheard.

The man looked them up and down, with a strange air.

"Female? Play professional?"

Zhou Mu was always impatient, so he blurted out as soon as he heard his words.

"Why can't women play professionally? You look down on girls!"

The man shrugged his shoulders: "It's true that there are not many girls who have fought against me well."

When the man's brothers heard that there was a dispute, they all gathered around, and they laughed and laughed together.

"Hey, I didn't say that, you girls should be honest and cheerleading off the court, what kind of profession are you playing?"

"That's right, my little sister is very pretty, why don't you leave a contact information, I'm from the Department of Physical Education of the Provincial University, next time I invite you to play."

It's okay to say in secret that the dishes they cook are not worthy of playing professionally, and what's more, the words are frivolous, and they are about to make a move.

Jian Changnian pulled her back, and Zhou Mu sneaked behind her, which seemed to be a bit of a bully.

"You guys are so good, do you dare to fight her?! She is from the Coastal Provincial Team, and she is many times stronger than you!"

Jian Changnian suddenly turned her head, intending to seal her mouth with tape, and then take her to a deep mountain forest to bury her. I have seen people cheating their mothers and fathers, but I have never seen someone who can cheat friends like this.

Zhou Mu stuck out his tongue, picked up her clothes and whispered, "Practice...practice..."

The man sneered, making it clear that he didn't take them seriously.

"Okay, then you guys go up together, lest others say that I bully girls."

Before Jian Changnian refused, Zhou Mu poked his head out and said, "Then what if you lose?"

The man's brother came forward and whispered a few words in his ear. The man turned the racket and looked at them with frivolous eyes.

"Losing? If you lose, you can do whatever you want, but if I win, I will have a meal with my brothers. My brother wants to meet you."

Zhou Mu was obviously a little apprehensive when he said such words because there were so many people and powerful people, and Jian Changnian wanted to refuse. The other party didn't look like a good person no matter what, but before she could speak , Zhou Mu tugged at her sleeve and nodded firmly.

"Chang Nian, let's fight him."

Jian Changnian turned her head in disbelief: "Are you crazy, if you lose, you will..."

On the contrary, Zhou Mu always believed in her as always.

"It's okay, I believe you, besides, they look down on girls, we must show him some color."

Jian Changnian smiled wryly in her heart, your big talk is too early.

"Hey, are you going to fight or not?" The man became a little impatient.

The onlookers also booed one after another: "Two against one, what are you afraid of?"

"It's not just a meal, go with him."

"Are these two really professional? It doesn't look like it."

Jian Changnian took a deep breath, the matter had come to an end, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and drive the ducks to the shelves.

Xie Shi'an played chess with others under the shade of a tree in the corner of the park. The players she played against were all elderly people, and it took a long time to watch each move.
