The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine

Yan Xinyuan put on his clothes with difficulty, got out of bed, and walked out. Coach Liang couldn't stop him, so he chased after him and shouted.

"Are you crazy! You're in the hospital now! Don't you know what's going on with your body?!"

Yan Xinyuan clutched his chest, turned around slowly, and gritted his teeth.

"Then I can't just watch Shi'an lose the game. Didn't you see how she was scolded online?! As long as I have breath, I will climb to Shanghai!"

Coach Liang was so angry at his words that he almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, pointing at him and being speechless.

"You...you...you stop for me!"

Yan Xinyuan paused.

"Old Liang, I've made up my mind, you just..."

Before he finished speaking, Coach Liang glared at him angrily, and threw his coat over.

"Take it, wear thicker, don't let people see that you are still sick, I am also Shi'an's coach, I want to go with you."

After losing two games in a row, the team also complained about her. When returning to the apartment, Xie Shi'an got out of the car slowly and walked behind.

The people in front didn't know whether it was intentional or not, their voices were not too loud, just enough for her to hear.

"That's it? It's still number one in the country. Today's game is really enough to eat. If I were a spectator, I would have refunded my ticket a long time ago."

"Who counts on her? It depends on our captain."

"That's right. If you want me to say that those who come out of the provincial team are only qualified to play in the national competition. If you really want to see it in the international competition, it is a soft-legged shrimp."

"Don't forget, their coaches were kicked out by our national team. If they are really that good, they should confess."

"As the saying goes, a raging soldier will make a raging nest."

…

"This is too much to say!"

Jian Changnian gritted her teeth in the back, and when she was about to be unable to restrain herself and rushed forward to argue with someone, there was already a figure who was one step ahead of her.

Xie Shi'an lifted the collar of the speaker, stared into her eyes, and said word by word.

"pardon."

This person was originally an official member of the national team, but because of Xie Shi'an's outstanding performance in the national competition and trials, she replaced her quota, and she has long been dissatisfied with Xie Shi'an.

"Let's talk about it, let me say that your Binhai provincial team has a raging army..."

Before she finished speaking, Xie Shi'an punched her in the face.

Jian Changnian saw that she raised her hand seriously, rushed forward to hug him, and pushed her back firmly.

"Shi'an, Shi'an, calm down, stop hitting!"

Although she blocked it quickly, her fist still landed on the girl's face. Seeing Xie Shi'an make a move, other people also surrounded her.

Jian Changnian squeezed between the two of them, and received a lot of punches in the back, grinning in pain.

Her hands were still tightly grasping Xie Shi'an's clothes.

"What are you doing! Hurry up and let go!"

Yin Jiayi, who had already walked away, fell back when she heard the movement, shouted angrily, and the two parties stopped their hands one after another.

Xie Shi'an pushed the man away, picked up the ball bag that fell on the ground, turned and left.

Yin Jiayi stopped her.

"Xie Shi'an, where are you going? Fighting is absolutely not allowed in the team, today this matter must be dealt with seriously!"

Xie Shi'an threw the ball bag over his shoulder, put one hand in his pocket, and turned his head to give them a cold look.

"It's up to you how you want to deal with it, but if I hear another insult to Coach Yan, even if the chairman of the Badminton Association comes, I will fight once."

The girl who was beaten burst into tears of anger.

"Captain, listen to what this is called! If you lose the game, it's okay!"

Yin Jiayi glanced at her leaving back, turned around and said.

"Don't say a few words! Who started this matter today, do you really think I don't know?!"

"Thank you Captain Yin for helping us out, then I'll go first."

Jian Changnian nodded slightly at the person, then turned around and caught up with Xie Shi'an, talking with her while walking.

"Shi'an, Shi'an, are you okay? Although I'm not angry with them for saying that to Coach Yan, you can't hit people with your hands. What if you hurt yourself, and Coach Yan also said that we should treat you well. People live in harmony, don't mess with..."

Before she finished speaking, Xie Shi'an turned to look at her.

"Are you annoying or not, like Tang Monk chanting scriptures, don't follow me anymore."

Her tone was a little impatient, and her eyes were cold.

Jian Changnian stopped in her tracks and froze on the spot, watching her leaving back, and did not follow her again.

＊＊＊

Xie Shi'an pushed open the door of the convenience store, took the turkey noodles she often ate from the shelf, and took a can of soda from the freezer, and put them together at the cashier to pay.

After paying the bill, she sat down on a high chair beside her with instant noodles and soda, and put on her earphones.

While eating noodles, Xie Shi'an swiped his phone and opened the dialog with Qiao Yuchu. Time seemed to have stopped a few days ago.

Her profile picture is always black.

She thought about it, typed a line, and wanted to ask how she was doing these days? Then delete it again.

Through the window, Jin Nanzhi walked along the street with his teammates.

She saw her at a glance. The boy was wearing a peaked cap, earphones in his ears, and was stirring the instant noodles in the bowl with a fork.

Jin Nanzhi thought for a while and asked them to go back first.

"Go back first, I'll go shopping."

As she spoke, she plunged into the convenience store on the street.

The mechanical sound of "Welcome" sounded at the door, and Xie Shi'an felt a gust of wind passing by her side, and then someone patted her on the shoulder.

"Hey, you sneaked out to eat this junk food again before the game."

Xie Shi'an glanced back at her, ignored her, put his mobile phone in his pocket, and continued to eat the noodles in his bowl.

Jin Nanzhi pulled her earphones off.

"Talking to you, what's the matter with you."

The world is back to noise.

Xie Shi'an snatched the earphone cable back from her hand, his face was expressionless, but his whole body was cold and rigid.

"Don't bother me, get out."

"Oh~ It seems that I'm in a bad mood." Jin Nanzhi said meaningfully, and walked away from her.

Xie Shi'an thought she was being sensible, so he finally left. Before she could be quiet for a while, he came back with instant noodles and sausages.

"Here, how can I eat instant noodles without intestines?"

Looking at her shining eyes and the sizzling hot oil sausage in her hand, Xie Shi'an froze for a moment.

Jin Nanzhi thought she was worried that there was pork in it, so he sent the sausage to her again.

"Oh, don't worry! You still want to eat pork and lean/meat/lean sausages that cost two yuan a piece, which is beautiful!"

Xie Shi'an slightly bent the corner of his lips, and finally reached out his hand slowly, and took a sausage from her hand.

Jin Nanzhi sat down beside her.

The two sipped instant noodles together.

Jin Nanzhi didn't expect that he would be so hot by the turkey noodles, he stuck out his tongue and fanned the wind, and drank soda frantically.

"Hiss... As expected, I haven't eaten junk food for a long time."

Xie Shi'an looked normal.

"Don't you think only junk food tastes good?"

"That's right, the people who eat nutritious meals in the cafeteria are almost like cabbage. You like to eat these junk foods so much. I think you can retire early. Then you don't have to taboo every day, how good it is!"

Xie Shi'an stirred up instant noodles with a fork, and said calmly.

"I see that you love to play so much, you can retire as soon as possible, and you can go home and inherit the family property, which is no more than what you earn as an athlete."

"Hey—" Jin Nanzhi was unhappy.

"Why don't you open which pot and carry which pot?"

"Who said it first?" Xie Shi'an said slowly.

The two looked at each other, and it could be seen from their eyes that they were not really angry with each other, and even Xie Shi'an's coldness dissipated a little, and he talked a little more than when she first came in.

Although they are not in the same competition area, Jin Nanzhi is not blind. Of course, he also knows that she lost two consecutive games.

There are distinct classes in competitive sports, and everything depends on strength. If you don't play well, you will be looked down upon.

"Hey, to be honest, you might as well come to our Korean team. The guaranteed treatment is thousands of times better than yours now, and with me here, no one dares to bully you."

She poked Xie Shi'an's arm and patted his chest to reassure.

Xie Shi'an looked at her with a look of "you seem to have that serious illness", imitating her tone and sentence pattern.

"Honestly, I suggest you go and see your brain first."

Jin Nanzhi was so angry that he almost slapped the table and got up and scratched her pretty face.

"You are a person who bit Lu Dongbin like a dog. You don't know good people. No wonder you are excluded!"

Xie Shi'an didn't care, and took another sip of instant noodles.

"Anyway, I was not popular since I was a child. I am used to it. Sometimes there are too many people around me, but I feel uncomfortable."

Hearing what she said, Jin Nanzhi also remembered that when he first came to China, he was bullied by his seniors because of his young age. At that time, thanks to the presence of Yin Jiayi, he dragged her out of the quagmire little by little.

"It's true to say that, but people still need friends, that Jian Changnian who was with you last time, and Joe... What's the matter with Joe?"

"Qiao Yuchu." Xie Shi'an closed his eyes and said softly.

"Oh, Qiao Yuchu, didn't they come with you?"

"Bean sprouts substitute, Yuchu she... went home."

Jin Nanzhi had an innocent and bright face, sucking on the instant noodles.

"Then why don't you ask Jian Changnian to come out to eat with you, it can relieve boredom by talking to someone."

Xie Shi'an shook his head.

"No, I've made too many enemies, it's better for her to stay away from me."

Jin Nanzhi watched her look a little depressed because of the loss of the game, and smacked her lower lip twice.

"Tsk, this is not like you. The Xie Shi'an in my impression is invincible in the arena, high-spirited, but also a very maverick, brave and fearless person in private."

Xie Shi'an was taken aback, and the fork in his hand fell into the instant noodle cup.

Jin Nanzhi shrugged, and blinked his eyes twice again, the words were obviously comforting, and he said it as if he was in the afternoon.

"To be honest, besides Yin Jiayi, you are the person I want to beat the most. I trained hard for three months and flew all the way from Seoul to Shanghai. Don't let me down."

Xie Shi'an smiled, and picked up the fork again.

"Is it for me? I think it is for our captain."

When Jin Nanzhi said this, his hair exploded instantly, his ears turned red quietly, he patted the table, and bluffed.

"You...don't talk nonsense! Who...who did it for her! I want to win the championship...I'm here, okay?!"

Xie Shi'an let out a prolonged "Oh".

"I didn't say anything, why are you blushing?"

"..."

Jin Nanzhi held up the cup of instant noodles expressionlessly and was about to pour it on her head. Xie Shi'an coughed lightly and sat a little further away silently.

"calm down."

The streets of Shanghai are full of sycamore trees, and the buildings on the streets are all French-style houses, full of medieval romance.

In the quiet night, under the sycamore tree, on a bench by the street, a couple kissed with their backs to them.

Jin Nanzhi stared at them for a moment, then looked away, sighed indistinctly, and put down the instant noodle cup in his hand.

Xie Shi'an looked at her and confirmed his guess.

"So you really like our captain?"

"Is it strange?" Jin Nanzhi smiled bitterly.

Xie Shi'an shook his head.

"Not surprisingly."

Thinking about it in her own shoes, what Yin Jiayi attracts her is not only the world's second ranking, her amazing skills, but also the hand that Yin Jiayi stretched out when she was alone and helpless in a foreign country.

For the drowning people, a straw thrown by others is their salvation and hope.

Xie Shi'an couldn't understand this feeling very well.

Hearing what she said, a trace of surprise flashed in Jin Nanzhi's eyes. He picked up the can and lightly touched the soda she put on the table.

"I thought you'd think I was a pervert."

Xie Shi'an picked up the can and took a sip, thinking in his heart.

"Then I'm a pervert too."

You can't talk to your family, let alone your teammates, but you can talk to Xie Shi'an as your opponent.

Jin Nanzhi held the can and said softly to himself.

"As the youngest child in the family, since I was a child, I have never been unable to get what I want. Even when I wanted to be a professional player, they refused in every possible way, so I compromised on the grounds of hunger strike, but Only this thing—”

Jin Nanzhi smiled bitterly.

"I know that it doesn't matter whether I'm messing around, crying, making trouble, or hanging myself. If Yin Jiayi doesn't like this, she will only find me annoying."

"She also doesn't like my family's money. In her eyes, it is not as real as a medal. I can only keep working hard, improving, and getting closer to her bit by bit, so that she can see me in her eyes." .”

"I want to defeat her, partly because I am eager to win, and partly because I want to prove to her that I have grown up, I am not a child anymore, I have the strength enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, and also..."

She paused and squeezed the can tightly.

"Pursue her rights."

"After all, you can only fight for what you want, right? And the strong often have a better chance of winning."

Jin Nanzhi drank the soda in one go, as if he had made a major decision, he put the empty bottle on the table in a gentle manner.

"Also, I have already decided that when I win the championship, I will confess my love to her."

Xie Shi'an looked at her with a little appreciation, a little surprise, and a little envy in his eyes.

"Aren't you afraid of failing in your confession?"

"No matter what I am afraid of, I will fail the exam, I will fail the job application, and I will fail even in the game. It is no different if I don't say it. If I don't say it, she will never know that I used to be so enthusiastic. I really liked her."

Xie Shi'an narrowed his eyes and said softly.

"To be honest, I envy you a little bit."

I envy her the courage to say that she likes to be open and aboveboard. She is the real, courageous, and fearless person.

Jin Nanzhi smiled, jumped off the chair, and blinked at her.

"If you succeed in confessing your love at that time, it's not too late for you to envy me. Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'm going back to training. I still want to avenge the national competition and beat you two in one go. That’s the real big success, and it’s fun to think about.”

"Eh."

Xie Shi'an stopped her, raised the can and sent her away.

"Then I wish you a successful confession, and..."

"Thank you for the... sausage."

The boy paused for a moment, but said thank you in full.

Jin Nanzhi raised a bright smile on his lips, waved at her, and ran away like a gust of wind.
