Xie Shi'an was playing games in the bedroom, when there was a sudden knock on the door, she thought it was the takeaway order, she got up and walked out in a daze, just opened the door a crack, the man's arm squeezed in, stuffed She has a bag of apples.

"Shi'an, Shi'an, it's Dad, Dad is back, I came to see you..."

Before the words were finished, Xie Shi'an grabbed the door and closed it hard. The man's arm was still stuck in the crack of the door, and he jumped away with a scream.

Without further ado, Xie Shi'an closed the door again.

The man covered his arms and grinned, finally regaining his composure, and decided to knock on the door without giving up.

Just as he put his hand on the door, the door opened again. He was overjoyed, but before he opened his mouth to speak, Xie Shi'an threw out the things he bought together with the plastic bag, and hit him head and face.

"Take your stuff and get out!"

"Hey, Shi'an, Shi'an!"

The man rushed forward and wanted to say something, when the door closed again with a bang, he picked up the scattered apples and muttered.

"A dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good heart, bah, what the hell, just like your mother!"

After being rejected by Xie Shi'an's place, he had no choice but to go back first, and the call came downstairs to collect debts.

"You boy returned to Jiangcheng? When will you pay back the money? Why don't we find a place to chat face to face?"

"No, no, I'm still doing business outside. It's only 200,000. I'll definitely pay it back to you by the end of this month. Do you think it's okay?"

"You kid, don't play any tricks. Let me tell you, if you run, you won't be able to run fifteen thousand, or two hundred thousand. You've been dragging it out for a few months! You should know the rules of not going to the casino until the end of the month." .”

The man nodded and bowed while walking, looking around, afraid of being seen, he left the community in a hurry.

"I know, I know, don't worry, I won't tell you when my business comes, see you later."

Not long after he left, the delivery man also went upstairs and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

Xie Shi'an thought it was because he was unwilling to give up and came back again, so he simply closed the curtains, put on the headphones, turned up the game volume to the maximum, and clicked the keyboard.

The delivery staff had no choice but to leave the meal box at her door.

The first thing Jian Changnian did when he returned to Jiangcheng City was to find her. When he was about to knock on the door, he saw the lunch box at the door and touched the packaging. up.

She knocked on the door worriedly.

"Shi'an, have you eaten? How is your health? Have you gone to the hospital to change your dressing these two days? I brought you braised pork made by grandma."

The room was dark.

Xie Shi'an had some wine bottles lying here and there, as well as instant noodle boxes. The computer was still on, and she had fallen asleep lying on the table.

Seeing that no one answered for a long time, Jian Changnian wanted to turn around and leave, but bit her lip and walked back, leaving the lunch box at the door.

"Shi'an, grandma said, no matter what happens, fill your stomach first. If I have already asked Coach Yan, you can rest at ease. I...I will wait for you to come back."

For those who are in love, the holiday is over soon. Jin Nanzhi followed Yin Jiayi home to play for a few days, received warm hospitality from her parents, cooked for them in different ways every day, and stuffed them before leaving A lot of souvenirs are in her suitcase.

Yin Jiayi couldn't laugh or cry.

"Mom, we really can't take so many things by plane."

"Oh, can't you check it in? If you can't get it, won't you help Nan Zhi get it? It's not easy for people to come all the way. Nan Zhi, next time you have a holiday, come to your uncle and aunt's house to play. Auntie again Make something delicious for you."

Jin Nanzhi smiled cutely, was sensible and polite.

"Thank you uncles and aunts for your warm hospitality. I am very happy these days, and I have worked hard for you. When I go on vacation next time..."

She glanced at Yin Jiayi with a slightly shy smile.

"Please also...Jiayi go to Korea to play."

Yin Jiayi put her arms around her shoulders and smiled.

"Then, Dad, Mom, let's go first, or we won't be able to catch the plane later."

Father Yin chased him out.

"Hey, how about I drive you off."

Yin Jiayi waved at him from a distance.

"No, I'll just drive there by myself. I just have to return the car at the airport."

As soon as the voice fell, he pulled her to speed up the pace, and whispered in her ear: "Go quickly, or my mother will come out to stuff you again in a while, every time I go home they are like this, nagging of."

Jin Nanzhi couldn't help laughing.

"Isn't that good? Look, your parents are so loving and love you, and Aiwujiwu is also very kind to your friends. My dad never drives me off in person."

Yin Jiayi took the luggage from her hand, put it in the trunk, then turned around and opened the co-pilot's door for her.

"That is to say, you have me loving you now, and—"

"And what?"

Yin Jiayi opened the car door and got in too. Before she could fasten her seat belt, she leaned over and kissed her.

"I want to be alone with you for a while longer."

Jin Nanzhi also knew that when they returned to Beijing, the two of them would no longer be able to stick together like glue all day long.

She was also a little reluctant, so she threw herself into her arms, hugged her waist, and whispered.

"It would be nice if we could live together forever."

Yin Jiayi smiled and touched her head.

"Okay, I'll visit you at school on the weekend, okay?"

Jin Nanzhi still didn't let go, hugged her and hummed a few times to express his dissatisfaction, Yin Jiayi laughed, lifted her chin and kissed her.

"If you stick with me every day, you won't be able to train."

Jin Nanzhi raised his head and continued her enthusiasm.

"Peking University has a badminton hall, and you can teach me too."

The girl's eyes are moving, bright and moving.

Yin Jiayi couldn't help deepening the kiss.

"Okay, I will... and a lot more."

She meant something, and the atmosphere gradually heated up.

Jin Nanzhi pressed her hand that was about to move, panting slightly: "Yin Jiayi, if you don't leave, you will really miss the plane!"

Yin Jiayi laughed, and her forehead was pressed against her forehead. When they separated, there was an ambiguous/ambiguous silver thread on the corners of their lips.

Her eyes were burning, and she leaned forward again.

"It's okay, you can change the ticket, and let me kiss you well before you leave."

"Compensation of two and a half million yuan is already the greatest sincerity we can give. If you are still not satisfied, you can sue, but you don't know when it will be executed after the judgment of the court, and we have There is also a video of you making trouble before, and it went to court, do you think the judge will support your unreasonable request?"

Jin Shunqi's friends talked eloquently, with a calm expression, neither humble nor overbearing, and they were overwhelmed as soon as they came up.

The opposing lawyer glanced at his client.

"Two and a half million, this is too little..."

"A lot, enough for your family of three to buy a suite in the provincial capital."

Jin Shunqi's lawyer friend turned his attention to the victim's family, and a smile that was sure to win was slightly evoked on the corner of his lips.

"If you agree to this amount, Ms. Qiao's father will also have another compensation. You don't want to waste time and effort in a lawsuit, but in the end it's nothing. The court's compensation may not be more than this amount. , You can ask my colleagues about this."

Regarding the compensation, they had already consulted a lawyer, and they definitely couldn't get so much, otherwise they wouldn't have taken the risk to cause trouble.

The lawyer glanced at him and wanted to speak again.

Jin Shunqi's friend was the first to speak.

"Do you want me to remind you that it's illegal for you to encourage your client to harass Ms. Qiao? Not only can I sue you, but I can also file a complaint with the Lawyers' Association. If it's 2.5 million, you The commission is enough for you to eat for half a year."

The attorney sitting across from him choked, and the couple looked at each other without speaking.

Qiao Yuchu stood up.

"That's it, you guys think about it and call me back."

As soon as the group of them walked out of the coffee shop, Qiao Yuchu's cell phone rang.

She picked it up, the man said.

"It's only two and a half million, you give it to me as soon as possible."

Qiao Yuchu breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, the weight in her heart could finally be completely let go, but when she thought about the bad things she had encountered before, she felt that the money could not be given so happily.

"That won't work, let's find a time to sign the letter of understanding first."

After all, he hung up the phone.

"Thanks to your trip this time, let's have a meal to celebrate tonight."

"I won't eat the meal. I have to go back to Beijing. I have to go to court tomorrow morning. I'll send you the letter of understanding later. You can sign it. If you encounter any embarrassing problems, just call me."

As the friend spoke, he waved for a taxi.

He ran all the way here without even drinking his saliva, Qiao Yuchu felt a little guilty.

"Hey, it's okay if you don't go out to eat. I'll cook a few dishes for you when I get home. It's not too late to leave after dinner."

The man looked at his watch and got into a taxi.

"Sister-in-law, don't eat, or you won't be able to catch the plane for a while. Next time, when you get married, treat me to a wedding bar."

It was a sister-in-law, and it was a wedding banquet, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

"This... These are two different things. Anyway, if it weren't for you, they wouldn't let go so quickly."

Jin Shunqi came over, closed the car door for him, and relieved his girlfriend.

"Okay, you are not allowed to come when the time comes, have a good trip."

Qiao Yuchu, who had solved a major matter, was obviously much more relaxed, and he was arm in arm with him, talking while walking.

"Jin, you are really good. No matter how you say it, you have helped us so much. You should treat him to a meal before leaving."

Jin Shunqi smiled.

"He was my best friend during college. Brothers don't pay much attention to this. And as you heard, he is really busy. I have already prepared a generous thank you gift for him, and I won't let him make a trip in vain. Yes, don't worry."

While the two were talking, Qiao Yuchu's cell phone rang again. She took it out and saw that it was a real estate agent. She was stunned for a while before answering the call.

"Hey?"

"Miss Qiao, the house you entrusted us to sell has already found a suitable buyer. When do you think you are free, come over for an interview?"

Qiao Yu took a first look at Jin Shunqi, and he nodded.

"Just today, I will go to your company later."

"Okay, then we will also notify the buyer to come."

***

Qiao Yuchu was not here, and neither was Xie Shi'an. Although the days went by and she continued to train as usual, Jian Changnian felt a little bored, so she ran to Xie Shi'an's house when she was free, but she went several times and knocked on the door to no avail. Someone answered, and no one touched the lunch box at the door.

She picked it up and smelled it. The food in it was all rotten. She was a little anxious and knocked on the door vigorously.

"Xie Shi'an! I know you're inside! Come out! People are like iron, rice is like steel, no matter how bad your mood is, go on a hunger strike!"

& Xie Shi'an grabbed the earphones and put them on again in the bedroom, and devoted himself to the game, and pretended not to hear what he heard.

Jian Changnian knocked for a while, but failed to knock her out, but quarreled with the downstairs neighbors.

"Hey, little girl, don't knock, there is no one in that house, and it's noon, and no one is allowed to take a nap."

Only then did Jian Changnian put her hand down and apologize to the person.

"I'm sorry, but this family..."

"If someone had said something, it would have come out long ago. If you knock for a long time, even the deaf would hear it."

The neighbor snorted coldly, and went back without fussing with her.

Jian Changnian bit her lip, her eyes hurt a little.

Xie Shi'an was clearly inside, knocking on the door so loudly, it didn't make sense that the neighbors heard it, but she couldn't hear it, so she just didn't want to talk to her.

She took a step back and put the snacks bought for her by the door.

"I know you don't want to see anyone now, but the Intercontinental Cup is about to start, and you don't have much time left to prepare. Come back early. Coach Yan and I are waiting for you."

Xie Shi'an's hand typing on the keyboard paused for a moment, her eyes were slightly red, the character she manipulated was dead, and the screen was black and white.

The boy picked up the beer at hand, raised his head and took another sip.

Jian Changnian ran out of the unit door, only to realize that it was raining. The early summer in Jiangcheng City was humid, hot and rainy. She looked up at the sky, and it was cloudy. She didn't know when the rain would stop. It was sunny, and I didn't bring an umbrella.

She gritted her teeth, looked back again, and chose to plunge into the rain curtain and rushed to the bus station against the pouring rain.

***

Back at the training base again, for some reason, Qiao Yuchu always had a feeling of familiarity and strangeness, and the guard still recognized her.

Seeing her standing here for a while, he quickly opened the door for her.

"Yuchu, it can be considered that you are back from vacation. How is it? Have you dealt with the matter at home?"

Qiao Yuchu could only smile.

"Well, it's almost there, come back today to pack up."

The doorman was taken aback for a moment, she had already walked in, and Jin Shunqi followed her, holding an umbrella for someone, looking around curiously.

"This is where you used to live and train?"

The Coastal Province team used to be no better than other teams with star players. They had limited funds and couldn't get any good sponsorship. The training base was dilapidated and hadn't been renovated for a long time.

When it rains, the cement roads are full of fallen leaves, the parallel bars in the activity area are stained with rust, and the walls of the dormitory buildings are covered with verdant creepers. The buildings are still old red brick houses from the 1970s and 1980s.

Qiao Yuchu walked with her head down, smiling slightly.

"It's worn out, isn't it, but I've had the best ten years of my life here."

While the two were talking, the coach's office arrived. She glanced through the glass window and saw that there was no one there. They should be training at this point.

She turned around and led the people towards the training room.

"Let me take you to the arena to have a look."

The only remarkable building in the Binhai Badminton Training Base is this 4,000-square-meter arena. Before approaching, I heard shouts from the arena.

"Hurry up, hurry up, run, catch the ball! Beautiful!"

"Zhang Chun, Yang Li, what are you two doing?! Playing ball or Tai Chi! If you can't, just go down and see how others play!"

Qiao Yuchu stood at the door, with a smile on her lips, and turned her eyes to Yan Xinyuan who was standing in the field and was admonishing others.

"That's our coach Yan, you've seen it before."

"Well, I have heard for a long time that China's first men's singles champion in the World Championships. When I was in Beijing, I thought he was very friendly. I didn't expect him to be so good at training people."

When mentioning him, Qiao Yuchu also had a hint of pride on his face.

"Of course, a strict teacher produces excellent apprentices. It is because of his strictness that we can enter the national competition, and we can..."

On the court, Coach Liang is also leading people to do physical training.

The sound of hitting the ball, the sound of soles rubbing against the floor, yelling, and whistles, it was full of enthusiasm.

Qiao Yuchu: "I wanted to introduce our team members to you, but it seems that there are some new faces, and I don't recognize them."

After Yan Xinyuan instructed a set of movements, he felt exhausted and panicked. He returned to the rest area panting heavily, and sat down on the chair.

"Old Liang, Chang Nian, why didn't you come today?"

"Ah? You ask me, didn't Chang Nian say that I asked you for leave before and wanted to go shopping?"

Yan Xinyuan slapped his thigh, his seven orifices were filled with smoke.

"When did she ask for leave from me? She couldn't come to the training. She lied in a way. There are two of them. Except that Yuchu asked for leave with me personally, she is fine with both of them, and she doesn't answer the phone. No one came back, he was absent-minded all day, and ran out every three days! What kind of game are you still playing, no, I'll go find them!"

As he spoke, he got up, turned his head and saw Qiao Yuchu standing at the door, his eyes were filled with surprise, and then he moved his eyes to Jin Shunqi, the smile faded a bit.

"Coach Yan." Qiao Yuchu stepped forward to say hello to him.

Jin Shunqi also shook hands with him.

"Coach Yan, long time no see."

Yan Xinyuan looked at them calmly.

"Yuchu, you came back just in time. I also have something to tell you. Go to my office and talk."

When he reached the door of the office, Jin Shunqi tactfully did not go in.

"Let's talk, I'll just walk around outside."

Yan Xinyuan brought her to the office, poured her a glass of water, and didn't mention what happened at her home. Instead, he flipped through the mountain of registration forms on the table and said cheerfully.

"Sit first, you just came back. There are still several Intercontinental Cup matches before the Olympics. I was thinking about letting you, Shi'an, and Chang Nian go to practice and prepare for the Olympic qualifying competition."

Qiao Yuchu held the warm plastic cup, hesitated for a while, then raised her head, looked at him and said.

"Coach Yan, stop busy, I...I want to retire."

Yan Xinyuan was startled.

"Is it because of your family? I've already talked to the leaders. As long as you still want to fight, I will try my best..."

Jian Changnian ran back in the pouring rain, drenched all over. She wanted to go to Yan Xinyuan and ask him to persuade Shi'an, but she heard the conversation inside as soon as she walked to the office door.

The boy paused and stopped, a little at a loss.

Qiao Yuchu shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's not entirely because of this reason. If there is no family matter, I may choose to retire in a year or two. I don't have much talent and I don't work hard enough. If I stay in the team, it will only delay my recovery and affect my career. The results of the entire team, and I don't want to make things difficult for you."

"How can this be called embarrassing? You are my team member. As the head coach, of course I have to fight for every chance you can play. Besides, you and Shi'an are so good. If you say you retire, you will retire. What do you want her to do?" Thinking, where can I find a doubles player who is suitable for her in a while."

Everyone else knew that they were good friends, so why didn't Qiao Yuchu know that she had already rejected Xie Shi'an once, and choosing to retire would undoubtedly hit her even worse, but she really had no choice.

Qiao Yuchu stared at her wrist, her eyes were slightly red.

"To tell you the truth, since the last operation, my wrist will be in unbearable pain whenever it is rainy. Closed training means not going home for several months, or going to play games all over the country, Coach Yan, I want to... live easier."

Yan Xinyuan felt uncomfortable seeing her like this.

"We can still go to the doctor and go to rehabilitation for the wrist problem. It can be solved after all. As for your family's financial difficulties, I can also apply to the team and give you more subsidies. I can see it. This decision You've got a tough job, and if you really enjoy playing, don't give it up."

Qiao Yuchu stood up, took out an envelope from her bag, and put it on the desk.

"If I didn't really like badminton, I wouldn't stick to it until now, but it's true, there is no way to continue playing. I came today to say thank you to you face to face, and I also want to say sorry to you. It's the money you transferred to me last time."

"I was really happy when I was training and playing with everyone. I will come back to see you when I have the chance."

After Qiao Yuchu finished speaking, she bowed slightly to Yan Xinyuan, turned around and left, and as soon as she reached the door, she bumped into Jian Changnian.

She smiled wryly, and she didn't want to say anything more. After nodding to others, she planned to leave.

Jian Changnian chased after a few steps, stopped him, and desperately wanted an answer. She was asking for Xie Shi'an as well as herself.

"Miss Yuchu! Why?! Why did you retire?! When I first entered the training team, I was at the bottom of the grades. You have been encouraging me, accompanying me to practice, and telling me not to give up. Have you forgotten?!"

"And Shi'an, she likes you so much, you agreed to win the championship together, you said you would witness every important moment in her life, and the Olympic Games will be coming soon, how can she be like this? Sad!"

The boy's eyes were red, and his tone was urgent and quick.

Qiao Yuchu held her shoulders and said with a more emphatic tone.

"Chang Nian, calm down! It's because I regard her as a friend that I can't delay her. Only by completely cutting off her thoughts can she play without distractions. Otherwise, why do you think it's been so many years? The Maritime team is waiting!"

Jane often wants to break people away.

"That's also because she treats you as a friend, her only friend, and not just a friend, she doesn't want to leave you!"

At the end of her words, her voice dropped again, with a hint of pleading.

"Sister Yuchu, if you behave like this, she will really be sad..."

Qiao Yuchu's hand slipped from her shoulder feebly, and said dejectedly.

"I know, but... how do you want me to respond to her? My own life is also a mess. I'm almost thirty years old, and I haven't achieved any outstanding results. Unlike you, I'm still very young."

"Chang Nian, I can't see any hope on this road, you...understand?"

Jian Changnian glanced at Jin Shunqi, who had been standing not far away silently watching them, with a slightly sour nose.

"Then have you ever thought that maybe Shi'an never needs your response, she just wants to be by your side silently, you have parents, family and Dr. Jin, but Shi'an has nothing left."

"Sister Yuchu, there are not no athletes who won the world championship at the age of 30 in the sports world. You have persisted for so long, why don't you give it a try? Since I entered the training team, you have been taking care of me. Remind me, I also...don't want you to leave."

When Qiao Yu first heard this, she couldn't hide her sadness, and her eyes turned red instantly, but the deal was done, and they could no longer go back to the past.

"Chang Nian, don't try to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind. I've already sold my house. I'm going to move in these two days. After the visa interview in Beijing is over, I'll take my mother abroad for medical treatment. In the bank card, it's the money that Shi'an gave me, so you can take it to her."

Having said that, Jian Changnian also knew that her retirement was a certainty, so she shook her head sadly, turned and left.

"You have to go by yourself, this is a matter between you."

She had just taken two steps when there was a violent coughing sound from the office, accompanied by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Jian Changnian was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses, ran wildly, pushed open the door and rushed in, running to his side.

Yan Xinyuan lay face up on the ground, his face pale.

"Coach Yan, what's wrong with you?! Wake up! Coach Yan!"
