The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine

Footsteps sounded in the corridor, and the voice-activated lights turned on one after another. Xie Shi'an raised his head from his arms, with surprise in his eyes.

"Yuchu, you're back..."

Qiao Yu glanced at her for the first time, as if looking at a stranger, and didn't ask her why she suddenly appeared here, but just took the key from the bag and opened the door.

Xie Shi'an stood up and followed behind her.

"Yuchu, I'll be back as soon as the game is over. How are your family affairs going? I can accompany you..."

Before she could finish speaking, the door was locked outside.

Qiao Yuchu didn't even invite her in.

Xie Shi'an let go of the hand that wanted to knock on the door again.

"Are you still angry with me? Then I'll wait here until your anger subsides."

When Qiao Yu first returned to her room, she quickly packed her clothes and took a bank card from the drawer. She was still waiting outside when she went out.

Xie Shi'an stood up from the stairs, just about to speak, but she didn't even look at herself, and was about to go downstairs after bypassing her.

She grabbed Qiao Yuchu's wrist.

"I'm sorry, I came back late, and I shouldn't have quarreled with you. How have you been doing recently? Have they troubled you yet? By the way, I have already..."

When she said this, she was interrupted, Qiao Yuchu shook off her hand, and finally took a direct look at her.

"Xie Shi'an, take care of yourself."

Xie Shi'an's forced smile was crumbling.

"We...we are friends, I don't think I can help you much, but at least I can talk to you..."

Qiao Yuchu sneered.

"Friend? My mother is right, you are the star of death, if it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't be lying in the hospital now at all!"

Xie Shi'an unconsciously took a step back.

"Yuchu..."

She tentatively called her name again, her voice trembling.

"Why... so... I... I just came back today... I didn't do anything... I went to find orange juice as soon as I got out of the car... and then I came to you..."

Qiao Yuchu looked at her, her eyes were red, she gritted her teeth, and said word by word.

"My parents divorced today. I thought it would be a new beginning, but I didn't expect that because of your phone call, I would be pulled into the abyss of eternal doom. You know that when the doctor said, for the rest of my life, my mother When I might never get up again, what am I thinking?"

Xie Shi'an took two steps back and had to hold on to the railing of the corridor to stabilize his figure, his lips were pale.

Qiao Yuchu looked into her eyes. It had been a long time since she looked at her so seriously last time. At that time, as long as they looked at each other, there would be a smile in their eyes. Now there is only sharp indifference in her eyes.

"I'm thinking, why didn't I listen to my mother earlier, knowing you is really the worst thing in my life."

People tend to leave the most extreme side to those closest to them, love is true, friendship is also true, but they don't know that once some words are spoken, they can never go back to the past.

Xie Shi'an's tears welled up without warning.

She explained in vain.

"I'm sorry, I'm just... just... worried about you... I didn't think... would... would..."

She couldn't say anything after that.

Since her parents' accident until today, Qiao Yuchu has hardly slept a few full nights. She just feels physically and mentally exhausted, and her own life is a mess, so how can she comfort others.

She watched Xie Shi'an cry, even though she felt a dull pain in her heart, her rationality told her that it was an accident and it had nothing to do with her, but emotionally, she couldn't help but blame her, it was a mess.

Now she just wants to stay away from all the people or things that bother her, and try to be clean.

Qiao Yuchu turned around and went downstairs.

"You didn't expect it, but it just happened, Xie Shi'an, our fate is over, we can't be friends anymore, from now on...don't come to me again."

Jian Changnian had already returned to the training base, lying on the bed thinking about it, but still worried about her, so she got up again, took the last bus into the city and ran to Xie Shi'an's downstairs to wait for her.

She saw the lights on in the corridor, and just about to stand up from the bench in the garden of the community, she saw Xie Shi'an running out after Qiao Yuchu.

The boy was crying, desperate, and roared hoarsely.

"Qiao Yuchu! I don't just want to be friends with you! I like you! I love you! It's been a long time... a long time..."

Jian Changnian's stepping feet froze in place, her eyes were full of shock, and when she recovered, she was afraid of being seen by them, so she hid in the flowers.

She told herself that it was immoral to eavesdrop on others, and she had to leave here quickly, but she couldn't help but look out.

She watched their secrets, and also saw another Xie Shi'an who was different from others.

She is no longer calm, no longer indifferent, she has never seen her shed so many tears, crying so heartbroken.

"I don't know why this happened...you really...really shouldn't save me..."

Xie Shi'an curled the corners of her lips mockingly. She had imagined countless ways to express her love before, but she didn't expect to blurt it out under such circumstances.

She closed her eyes, desperately.

"When I came back to my senses, I already liked you...for a long, long time...I also want to control my heart...but I...really can't...Qiao Yuchu...I love you...I want...want to be with you You were always, always, always together."

Xie Shi'an waited for a long time, but she finally walked back to her side step by step.

She opened her eyes, a smile not yet fully revealed on her face.

Hearing her say so much, Qiao Yuchu only thought it was absurd.

"Don't you think it's funny? You say the word love at your age, do you know what love is? You love me, what can you give me? Is it caring like an afterthought, or throwing your temper at me and making you petty? ?”

Xie Shi'an became a little incoherent when she asked her this question.

"I...I don't have any money now...but...but I can work hard to earn it...I have already won the World Championships...There are many business endorsements looking for me...I know I have a bad temper...but I will really work hard to change The...you...don't leave me...okay?"

"Enough!" Qiao Yuchu raised her voice and stopped her.

"Xie Shi'an! I'm not gay! I've always treated you like a younger sister, don't you understand?!"

Seeing that she was about to lift her foot to leave again, Xie Shi'an grabbed her wrist in desperation, like pulling a life-saving straw, holding on tightly, unwilling to let go and not daring to let go.

"I don't understand! Why do you treat me so well when you don't like me! Take care of me, care about me! Tolerate all my shortcomings and bad temper, when the whole world is talking badly to me, you are the only one standing by my side people!"

"Qiao Yuchu, dare you say that you don't like me at all?"

At the end of her words, her voice lowered again, as if pleading.

"Even a little..."

Qiao Yuchu took a deep look at her, her eyes slowly turned red, and a self-deprecating smile curled up on her lips.

"Do you have to put the relationship between us for so many years into the relationship between a man and a woman? Don't you know what I treat you? Can't you feel whether I love you or not? Stop deceiving yourself. "

She turned around and wanted to leave, but Xie Shi'an still didn't let go, and chased after several steps: "Yuchu is not...I...I know you treat me well...you are the best person in the world to me...I... I don't expect you to like me...let...let me stay by your side...don't drive me away..."

Before she could finish speaking, maybe she was really annoyed by being entangled, Qiao Yuchu raised her hand, shook her off, and watched her fall to the ground.

"That's enough, Xie Shi'an, don't you think it's ugly to be a stalker? Don't you think the words you said are disgusting? If I had known that you had such nasty thoughts about me, I wouldn't have I won't look at you any more!"

"You just think that my kindness to you is all because of my kindness, but this kindness only ends today."

After she finished speaking, she resolutely turned around and left, without giving her another chance to pester her.

Xie Shi'an was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground. He didn't know if it was because of physical pain or what, his face turned pale instantly.

A thunderbolt flashed across the sky.

The torrential rain poured down.

Qiao Yuchu never looked back.

＊＊＊

"The team's opinion on Qiao Yuchu's handling has come down. We mean that since she is a veteran player, we won't fire her and let her leave the team."

Early in the morning, Yan Xinyuan was called over for a meeting, and when he heard this, he stood up immediately.

"No, I don't agree! She is not the driver who caused the accident. Is it worth giving up a potential athlete because of this shit?!"

The leader of the team slapped the table loudly.

"Can you think about it for our Coastal Provincial Team?! Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. People are blocking the gate of our training base. The news has been on for several rounds. Athletes must clean up and clean up! Her matter! The social influence is extremely bad, and it would be the best of humanity not to fire her!"

"I'm surprised. It's been so many years since the reform and opening up. Why are you still doing that? You keep saying that it's for the reputation of our Coastal Province team. I think you're just afraid that the money from the sponsors won't fall into your pockets." Already!"

"Old Yan! I don't like to hear what you say. What does it mean that the sponsor's money doesn't fall into our pockets? It's true that they withdrew their funds because of this! As the head coach, you said she has potential, Okay, then tell me, what achievements has she made in the past year or so?!"

"I..." Yan Xinyuan choked.

Seeing that he couldn't answer, the other party smiled sarcastically.

"They're all in this business. You and I know in our hearts that an athlete who has passed the age of twenty-five has not even participated in the World Series, and his career is just like this. If you have the energy, you might as well train Xie Shi'an well. "

"Looking at the sports world, there are many late bloomers. Since she wants to play, we should give her this opportunity. Besides, she is by far the most suitable doubles player for Xie Shi'an. The Olympic Games will start soon. You guys Can't be at this time..."

Yan Xinyuan swallowed, and argued earnestly for her.

"Come on, do you really not see it or fake it? Xie Shi'an's accomplishments in singles are much deeper than in doubles. Doubles will only hinder her. Since you are also Xie Shi'an's supervisor Coach, just think about it for her!"

Yan Xinyuan glanced at the faces of other people in the meeting room, and even Coach Liang didn't say a word, he sat down and said in a dejected manner.

"Give me some more time, let me have a good talk with her, and then decide whether she will stay or not."

＊＊＊

Xie Shi'an woke up again, still in the hospital.

She opened her eyes and looked at the snow-white ceiling, as if she had had a long dream, unable to recover for a long time.

Until a familiar voice came from beside him.

Jane Chang wanted to hand her the peeled apple.

"You're awake, the doctor just changed your medicine and said that your surgical incision is a bit infected..."

Xie Shi'an turned his head and glanced at her, then his eyes fell from the apple in her hand to the nutritional supplements on the bedside.

"Has anyone been here?"

"Ok."

"Is it Yuchu?"

She grabbed her wrist and asked eagerly.

Jian Changnian lowered her eyes, she couldn't bear to tell her that it wasn't Qiao Yuchu who came, but Jin Shunqi.

Xie Shi'an just assumed that she didn't speak, so he sat up from the bed with difficulty, his rusty head was finally able to think slowly.

"Then where is she now?"

"Going back to her mother."

"Then how do you..."

Xie Shi'an had a trace of caution in his eyes, for fear that she came at the wrong time last night and happened to meet that scene.

Jian Changnian put the apple on the table with a calm tone.

"After I went back, I was still a little worried, so I ran to your house to look for you again. When I arrived, you were already lying on the ground."

Xie Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief, but it's okay, it's just that he didn't see it.

The liquid in the bottle had been transfused, and she got out of bed by herself.

"Thank you, which ward is Yuchu in? I'll go find her."

Jian Changnian didn't stop her this time.

"orthopedics."

As soon as his feet touched the ground, there was a sharp pain at the suture of the incision in the abdomen. Xie Shi'an gritted his teeth, supported the door frame, and moved out step by step.

As soon as she got out of the elevator on the orthopedic floor, she saw a person she least wanted to see entering the ward with a bottle of water in his hand.

She gritted her teeth and walked over while supporting the wall. Through the glass of the door of the ward, she saw Qiao's mother lying on the bed. Jin Shunqi was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Qiao Yuchu's shoulders intimately, talking to them.

"I have already contacted the hospital in the United States. When my aunt's condition stabilizes, I can transfer there."

Mother Qiao looked at them with a rare smile in her eyes.

"It's still called Auntie, shouldn't it be changed?"

Jin Shunqi is as good as a runner.

"mom."

"Hey." The old man lay on the bed and laughed.

Qiao Yuchu punched him on the shoulder in embarrassment.

"I'm not married yet, what are you doing so early?"

Mother Qiao turned her gaze back again, looked at the ceiling and said.

"I don't know how long I can live. You guys should get the certificate sooner. It can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes."

When Qiao Yu first heard the words, her eyes were slightly red, and she held her hand tightly.

"Mom, don't say such frustrating words. You still have to stay with us for a long time. When the time comes, I will ask you to help take care of the children."

"Hey, that's a good feeling."

Mother Qiao also smiled with tears in her eyes, took their hands together, and patted them lightly.

"As long as you are all right, Mom is willing to do anything."

A family of three, harmonious and harmonious.

What is she standing here for?

The corners of Xie Shi'an's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile, and she felt that there seemed to be a hole in her chest, and the wind was pouring into it, which made her internal organs hurt.

What Qiao Yuchu said was right, she was deceiving herself and others, she only treated her nicely because she was kind, let alone a person, even if a cat or a dog fell to the ground, she would go up to help her.

She loves everyone.

Only, do not love her.

What's more, she still caused her mother to become such a culprit.

How could she like herself, it was too late to avoid her like a snake or a scorpion.

Xie Shi'an smiled and shed tears. She turned around and leaned on the wall and left here in a daze. When she returned to the payment office on the first floor, she stopped in her tracks.

She passed her bank card through the narrow window.

"Hello, pay the fee."

"Which department, bed number, show me your ID card."

Xie Shi'an handed over his ID card.

"Orthopedics, bed 1203, help me make friends."

The staff inside heard the words and looked up at her.

"Are you OK?"

Only then did Xie Shi'an realize that her face was covered with tears. She sniffed and wiped her face with her sleeve carelessly.

"No...it's okay..."

"A total of more than 56,000."

The staff is just ready to swipe the card.

she said again.

"Pay another month's medical expenses in advance."

"Here, take the receipt."

Xie Shi'an took his ID card and passport, turned around again, and walked back to the ward step by step.

Jian Changnian didn't ask her if she saw her, what happened, and why she came back like this.

Xie Shi'an said he wanted to go home, so she helped her pack her things silently and sent him to the gate of the hospital.

Xie Shi'an called a taxi and took his bag from her shoulder.

"Help me ask Coach Yan for a leave of absence, I may have to rest for a while."

Jian Changnian nodded.

"it is good."

Seeing that she was about to get into the car, she was still a little worried after all, and grabbed the car door and refused to let go.

"If you don't want to be hospitalized...or you should go back to the training base. There is also a team doctor in the team who can help you change the dressing."

Xie Shi'an shook his head, the smile on the corner of his lips was light and faint, as if his whole body would be blown away by the wind.

"No, I'm really fine, don't worry, I'm just... just a little tired... I want to have a good sleep."

After she finished speaking, she slammed the car door and walked away.
