The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine

A few days later, Jian Changnian took the package sent by Zhou Mu back to the dormitory. As soon as she opened it, Sun Qian surrounded her.

"Ah, this scarf is so pretty, it must be hand-woven."

"Well, a gift from a friend."

After Jian Changnian took out the scarf, another piece of note paper fell out of the bag. She picked it up and saw that it was Zhou Mu's handwriting.

"The red one is for you, the blue and white striped one is for him, please, my dear friend who loves you, Zhou Mu."

The inscription also drew a grimace.

Jian Changnian smiled knowingly, put away the scarf, and was going to visit the swimming base after training in the afternoon.

It was already seven o'clock after training in the afternoon, Jian Changnian ran back to the dormitory to get a scarf without thinking about eating, and accidentally bumped into Sun Qian when going out.

"Hey, where are you going, let's have dinner together?"

Jian Changnian turned around and waved: "I'm sorry, I have something to do, you go first, I'll go later."

＊＊＊

"Hi, I'm looking for Cheng Zhen from the training team." Jian Changnian lightly knocked on the glass of the guard room, and the uncle poked his head out.

"Who are you? Closed training does not accept visitors."

Jian Changnian smiled and tiptoed against the window of the guard room.

"I'm from the badminton training base next door. I'm Cheng Zhen's friend. If I don't go in, I'll just give him something and leave."

The doorman saw how well-behaved and polite she was, so he picked up the phone: "All right, all right, I'll call for you."

After a while, Cheng Zhen ran out.

"It's you, why are you here? I thought it was Shi'an..."

The boy had probably just finished training, and there were still drops of water on the tip of his hair, and he ran out wearing shorts and slippers with his upper body covered.

The juvenile's body has a good sense of line, and it is white and glowing.

Jian Changnian instinctively took a step back, one meter away from him, passed the bag over, looked at other places, and blushed a little.

"That... Zhou... Zhou Mu asked me to give it to you."

"Ah?" Cheng Zhen was still in a daze, and a few more boys popped out from behind him. They seemed to be his teammates, and grabbed the bag.

"Hey, it's still a scarf! Something's wrong with you kid!"

Cheng Zhen came back to his senses and rushed to grab it: "Give it to me, no, don't talk nonsense!"

The scene where several big boys were shirtless and fighting back and forth was a bit funny, Jian Changnian slightly bent his lips, looked at Cheng Zhen again, and said curiously.

"are not you cold?"

After realizing it, Cheng Zhen finally felt that something was wrong, so he tore off the towel hanging from his teammate's neck and wrapped it around his upper body.

"It's okay, winter swimming, we're used to it, it's not cold."

Several teammates are still studying the scarves in the bag.

"Let's see."

"It's still hand-woven."

"It's a lovely color."

Cheng Zhen snatched the scarf back and held it in his arms.

"What are you looking at, this is for me, don't look at it!"

Jian Changnian couldn't hold back a burst of laughter.

"Okay, I'll leave as soon as the things are delivered. Zhou Mu has been weaving them for a long time, so you must wear them."

Sun Qian pushed open the window of the dormitory, looked over from a distance, and saw the door of the swimming training base opposite, two people talking and laughing.

The girl pursed her lips and closed the window again.

"Hey, are you coming to the club this week?"

With earphones hanging around his neck, Xie Shi'an scooped up the badminton with his racket, and replied while listening to the voice on the receiver.

"Closed training."

The voice of the boy opposite was a little lazy.

"A few very capable people came to the club this week, and they are looking for a training partner. I was thinking, this job is suitable for you."

Qiao Yu first saw that she stopped moving and didn't serve the ball, so she looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

"Let's talk about it. If you have a rest this week, you can go over and have fun." Xie Shi'an hung up the phone before returning to her.

"Cao Rui, ask me if I want to go to the club this week."

"Your dad asked you for money again?"

Xie Shi'an responded lightly: "Well, I ignored him."

In the early years, Xie Shi'an was still in school and had no source of income, so he could only go to the club as a training partner, or teach some elementary school students to play part-time to earn living expenses. Cao Rui met at that time.

When mentioning her father who was addicted to gambling, Qiao Yuchu was not very angry.

"Last time I said that I was in a car accident and was hospitalized. You went to have a look. They were playing cards and drinking at home. And last time, the loan sharks came to your door. Shi'an, I didn't say it, you can't be soft-hearted. Give him money."

During these long years, Xie Shi'an had hoped for the role of father again and again, and then she was shattered again and again. She was no longer the little girl who would cry on the street because he didn't want her. , the current Xie Shi'an is invulnerable to all poisons, and his heart is as hard as iron.

"I know, I just want to play." Xie Shi'an raised his hand and sent her a diagonal line.

"It's kind of boring here."

Qiao Yu smiled for the first time, and picked the ball back for her.

"Obviously your own skills are too good, and you blame others."

Yan Xinyuan originally didn’t plan to have a holiday this week, but he couldn’t hold back the screaming of a group of people. He bluntly said that the training was too hard. Half day off at six in the afternoon.

During training in the morning, Jian Changnian noticed that he put his fist to his mouth and coughed from time to time.

When the training was over, Jian Changnian ran over: "Coach Yan, are you feeling unwell?"

Yan Xinyuan coughed twice again, his voice a little hoarse: "It's okay...cough cough...I guess it's because of the recent season change, I have caught a cold, and I just gave you a holiday in the afternoon, so I'll go to the clinic to see and prescribe some medicine."

"You should go to the hospital to have a look. I have heard that you have been coughing for several days."

"Ahem... It's an old problem." Yan Xinyuan looked at her worried look, and smiled again.

"Okay, I know my own body well. I have a holiday in the afternoon. You can go home and see grandma, and come back tomorrow."

Only then did Jian Changnian smile again, and nodded heavily.

"Well, thank you, Coach Yan! Then I'll go first."

She ran back to the dormitory in a hurry, packed her things, and after thinking about it, she ran to the public phone in the corridor and called Zhou Mu.

"Hey, it's me. I'm on vacation for half a day this week. Do you want to go home together? What? Aren't you coming back?" When it came to going home, Jian Changnian's voice was full of excitement. Hearing her say no Back, a little lost again.

"I'm going to the club with a senior from our school team this week, do you want to come together?"

Although she has never been to the club, she also heard that it is very expensive to play there.

Jian Changnian shook her head: "No, I'll go home and visit grandma."

Zhou Mu also knew her concerns: "Don't refuse in a hurry, this club is opened by my senior and his friends, we don't need money to play, and their club is recently recruiting training partners, and they also offer badminton courses for primary school students. I'm also looking for a part-time teacher."

Jian Changnian's heart moved slightly: "Does the part-time job mean going to class every day?"

"No, sparring and part-time jobs are paid by the hour."

Zhou Mu heard that she was a little bit interesting, and said persuasively: "Hey, what is the name of the KTV you went to before? Why don't you do something you are good at and earn some money to subsidize your family? I didn't know about it before, but now But after passing this village, there is no such shop.”

Jian Changnian still hesitated: "I...can I do it?"

"You try it, anyway, it's just teaching primary school students, and it's enough for them to see if you show your hands casually."

Such a rare opportunity, and acquaintances matchmaking.

Jian Changnian was cruel and agreed.

"Okay, where is the address?"

"You take bus 605 to Huifeng intersection, and I'll wait for you there."

"Okay, see you soon."

"See you or leave."

＊＊＊

Chenxing Badminton Club.

Xie Shi'an was changing clothes in the locker room while chatting with Qiao Yuchu.

"It's rare that you don't go home during the holiday, won't auntie tell you?"

"God knows, you know and I know. As long as you don't tell her, she won't know that I'm on vacation. Besides, I don't want to be urged to marry again when I go back. I might as well come to play."

After Qiao Yuchu changed her clothes, she closed the cabinet door, turned around and saw that Xie Shi'an had just taken off her bottoming sweater, and she was only wearing a sports vest underneath.

"Hey, you've really grown up."

Xie Shi'an blushed slightly, picked up the jacket and threw it at it. The moment her view was blocked, he put on the sportswear with one hand, pulled the zipper to the highest, picked up the racket and left.

"I'm ready."

Qiao Yuchu laughed while holding her coat.

"Hey, jacket, aren't you cold?"

After meeting Cao Rui, Xie Shi'an went to play with others. She quite liked playing in the club, because the opponents were not as regular as those in the training team. Familiar, every encounter is like a new adventure.

Xie Shi'an liked this feeling very much, but when she was immersed in the happiness brought by playing basketball, she never expected to meet acquaintances here.

"Yo, it's really a narrow road for enemies."

Xie Shi'an turned his head and saw that it was the boy she played with in the park last time.

She gently pulled the corners of her lips, and raising her hand was a smash.

"Yo, it's self-inflicted humiliation again."

The boy blushed: "It's just a fluke to win once, so what's the big deal!"

Xie Shi'an didn't pay attention to him at all, and concentrated on playing with his opponent.

"Go away, I'm not interested in fighting you today."

"You—" The boy was in a state of exasperation, and was about to rush forward with his racket, but was grabbed by someone.

"What's the rush, isn't she just a yellow-haired girl, you can't even beat this, it's a shame."

"Who are you?" Xie Shi'an finally stopped, and casually glanced at the speaker.

The man who spoke was about twenty-five or sixteen, with dyed red hair, dressed in nondescript clothes, with a gold chain hanging around his neck, he didn't look like a good person.

The boy whispered in his ear: "Brother Qin, it's her. This little girl has good film skills. Neither of us hit her last time."

The man called Brother Qin squeezed his fists, loosened his muscles and bones: "The surname is Qin, and each character is Yang. I heard that you beat my brother very badly. How about it? Are you interested in fighting with me?"

After a game, Xie Shi'an picked up the badminton that fell on the ground without raising his head.

"I said, I'm not interested today, no matter who you are."

She was about to shovel a ball, when a shadow fell in front of her unexpectedly, and then she tightened her hand, and the racket was stepped on.

Mr. Qin put one hand in his pocket and looked down at her: "Why, you want to run away after bullying my brother? You are so shameless as professionals."

Xie Shi'an's eyes seemed to be filled with ice, he looked at him coldly, and said word by word: "Get up, open."

"I don't care about it, unless you fight me, I'll get up." Qin Yang spread his hands and looked rascal.

Xie Shi'an clenched his fists tightly, his throat rolled up and down, the atmosphere between the two of them was tense, and they were about to make a move. Qiao Yuchu, who had gone to the toilet, finally rushed back and pulled him behind him.

"What's wrong?"

Cao Rui rushed over when he heard the movement.

"Hey, Mr. Qin, rare guest." He said and passed a cigarette to someone, and Qin Yang lit it with the fire, and smoked quietly.

"Why, your sparring partner can still refuse guests?"

Cao Rui smiled apologetically: "How can she, she is not considered as a training partner, but my friend came to play, Mr. Qin, how can I save face?"

Qin Yang spat a smoke ring on his face.

"I will give you face, who will give my brother face? Since we are all friends, it's okay to say, let's learn from each other. If we lose, it means that I, Qin Yang, are not as good as others. I will never mention this matter again."

Regarding the incident that happened in People's Park, Qiao Yuchu also knew the ins and outs. It was obvious that they were the ones who spoke rudely first, but now they came to provoke her again.

"Everything has a cause and an effect. If it wasn't for your friend's rude words first, there would be no such thing. What's more, it's a ring fight. You are willing to bet and admit defeat, and you can't blame others. If you lose, you have to come to the door to haggle over every detail, and I am the same. See you for the first time."

Qin Yang glanced at her sideways: "Who are you?"

"Binhai Provincial Team, Qiao Yuchu."

"Another professional, no wonder." Qin Yang took out the cigarette case from his pocket again, took a cigarette and lit it.

"I said that your Coastal Province team is a bunch of drunkards, right? The best result is the runner-up in the national competition, let alone the Olympic Games. In recent years, no one has even made it to the World Championships. It's a waste of money. I can only play wild ball in the park and bully the students."

Qin Yang spat on the ground: "The reputation of professional players is what ruins vases like you."

"You..." Qiao Yuchu had never been scolded by someone pointing his nose like this before, his face flushed red, and he couldn't say a word.

Xie Shi'an patted her on the shoulder, motioned for her to step aside, and walked to the front by himself.

"I don't know what you are mad about, the defeated general. Since you are so unconvinced, I can only let you lose again."

Cao Rui whispered beside her: "Think about it clearly, this person is not an ordinary amateur player. Although he is a rich second generation, he is indeed a former member of the national team. He has been training in Beijing before. He was just expelled from the national team. You have been training before, I don’t know that in the past few months, he has found several retired or active professional players to play, and he won all of them.”

Listen to this, this person is a bit level.

Xie Shi'an slightly twitched the corner of his lips: "So that's the case. No wonder you keep talking about professional players. You hate professional players so much, but you still want to join the national team. It's quite distorted."

Qin Yang's face changed when he heard her words: "What do you know?! The national team is a bunch of waste who only know the rules and regulations and don't know how to adapt! I'm going to beat you today and let them all see it, professional players, Bah - pigs and dogs are worse!"

Former national team.

She hasn't played against anyone from the national team yet.

It was fine if Cao Rui didn't say anything, and told her, Xie Shi'an licked his lips, but was a little excited, and looked at Qiao Yuchu.

After decades of tacit understanding, Qiao Yuchu understood what she meant in an instant, and stepped forward to stand side by side with her.

"Then bet on the honor of the profession and fight them."
