The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine

"Doctor, doctor, what happened to Coach Yan, just tell me!"

When sending the person to the hospital, Jian Changnian tugged at the doctor's sleeve and refused to let go, as if trying to break the casserole and ask the end.

Director Chen glanced at Yan Xinyuan who was lying on the hospital bed. The old man had just been rescued and was infused with fluid, so he nodded weakly at him.

Everyone in the room was watching him, and Coach Liang rushed over from the training base when he heard the news.

Director Chen's expression remained unchanged.

"Emphysema, a chronic disease caused by smoking all the year round, you should pay more attention when you get older."

As soon as these words came out, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Qiao Yuchu was there at the time, and ran in when she heard Jian Changnian yelling, and then together with Jin Shunqi, sent the man to the hospital in time.

Yan Xinyuan looked at them with a slight smile on his face.

"I've said it's all right...cough cough...You guys are so motivating, I'm just recently...I'm too tired...Just take a rest."

"Coach Yan, it's good that you're fine. You should smoke less. It's getting late today, so we'll go back first and see you another day."

Qiao Yuchu was about to say goodbye to someone, but Yan Xinyuan stopped her again, forced herself to sit up from the bed, and spoke earnestly.

"Yuchu, it's easy to give up something you love, but you will inevitably regret it when you think about it in the future. If you insist on retiring—"

Yan Xinyuan changed the subject and called Coach Liang.

"Old Liang, did you bring that application form?"

Coach Liang nodded.

"Bring it."

"Give it to Yuchu."

Qiao Yuchu took it over and saw that it was an application for transfer from an active player to an assistant coach. It seemed that he had already prepared it, and his eyes immediately became hot.

"Coach Yan..."

Yan Xinyuan waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Go, go back and think about it carefully. Whether you are playing or coaching, the door of our Coast Province team will always be open to you."

When they left, Director Chen was obviously hesitant to speak.

Yan Xinyuan understood and knew that he had something to say to him, so he waved his hand and signaled Jian Changnian to come to him.

Jian Changnian came over and held his cold hand, her eyes were slightly red.

"Coach Yan..."

Yan Xinyuan raised his hand and touched her head, her hair was still wet.

"Silly boy, why are you crying? Do you think I'm fine now? Did you go out today without an umbrella?"

Jian Changnian nodded.

"Ok."

"Are you looking for Shi'an?"

Only then did Jian Changnian sniff her nose, laughing through tears.

"Nothing can be hidden from you."

"You, your mind is all on your face, how is Shi'an recently?"

Jian Changnian originally wanted to ask him for help, and asked him to persuade Xie Shi'an, but seeing how he is now, he didn't want to make him worry anymore.

So he smiled and told a white lie.

"Well, I sleep at home every day until I wake up naturally, and I don't need to train, and I can still play games. I don't want to come."

Yan Xinyuan raised his hand to her.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Playing things and losing your mind, how can you play games at home every day? Sooner or later, you will be useless. When she recovers from her injury, she will return to the team as soon as possible. You have been absent-minded in training recently. I think it has been a long time since you were punished. One or two, both are itchy."

Jian Changnian stuck out her tongue, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I see, Coach Yan, you, just take a good rest."

"You go back too, go take a shower and change your clothes, don't catch a cold, remember to go out next time, bring an umbrella when you are sunny, and dry food when you are full."

When it comes to letting her go, Jian Changnian is somewhat reluctant.

"Coach Yan, I..."

"Go, go back, you can't help here, Lao Yan has me."

Coach Liang also persuaded.

"Go back and train hard, don't let me down." Yan Xinyuan said.

Only then did Jian Changnian dawdle and get up.

"Then I'll come see you tomorrow."

On the way back, Xie Shi'an's house was close to the hospital, so she made a special trip there. When she went up the stairs, she saw that the snack bag she had brought at noon was still at the door, untouched.

She didn't know why she wanted to come to her, but she just wanted to talk to her, even through a door, and she didn't care if Xie Shi'an could hear her or not, she said to herself.

"Shi'an, Coach Yan is in the hospital. The doctor said it was emphysema, which is a bit serious. I don't know when it will recover..."

"I'm worried about him."

Xie Shi'an was lying on the sofa, the TV was on, the actor's mouth opened and closed, she didn't know what to say, she just looked at the background wall of the TV in a daze, and a pile of beer cans were scattered on the coffee table in front of her.

It wasn't until she heard the word "Coach Yan" that the young man's out-of-focus eyes slowly came together. She sat up with difficulty supporting her head, and then heard Jian Changnian saying that Coach Yan was hospitalized.

When she panicked and wanted to run to open the door, her feet gave way and she fell heavily to the ground, knocking over several beer bottles.

Jian Changnian smiled wryly and continued.

"You're not here, neither is Miss Yuchu. I don't even know who to talk to when I'm in the dormitory. Why didn't I realize that you are so important."

"By the way, there is something I've been thinking about, and I still want to tell you that sister Yuchu went back to the training base today, but she just went to pack her things. She... is going to retire."

"I'm afraid you will be sad, so I kept it, but I didn't."

When Jian Changnian said this, his eyes were slightly red.

"I'm also very reluctant to part with her. You shouldn't be listening to these words, but if you accidentally hear them, maybe when she tells you in person, if you have a mental preparation, you won't feel so uncomfortable."

"Okay, I'm done talking, I'm leaving, remember to take the things left at the door, I'll come to see you another day."

The footsteps at the door gradually faded away.

Xie Shi'an sat on the ground, closed his eyes, and two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks.

She hugged her knees and bit her wrists tightly to keep herself from crying.

＊＊＊

Finally, when almost everyone in the ward had left, leaving only the three of them, Yan Xinyuan showed a trace of fatigue on his face.

Coach Liang got straight to the point.

"Director Chen, how is Lao Yan's condition going?"

Director Chen glanced at them, shook his head, and sighed.

"The delay is too long. The cancer cells have spread to the entire right lung, and even the liver and kidney have metastases. It's really..."

He was just about to say the words "hell there is no way to recover".

Coach Liang's heart was half cold, and he sat down on the chair.

"Then... there is no other way?"

After deliberating for a moment, Director Chen still told them.

"Yes, I will operate immediately to remove the diseased part, but it does not rule out that I will not be able to get off the operating table."

Yan Xinyuan was much calmer than him, and took up the conversation.

"Even if he gets off the operating table, a person with incomplete lungs can only lie in bed all day, relying on a ventilator to survive, let alone coaching, it is difficult to even walk two steps."

Director Chen didn't say a word, which was a tacit agreement.

Coach Liang's eyes were red all of a sudden, and he said anxiously.

"Then you can't just wait like this, wait to die!"

"I suggest you do chemotherapy first to delay the disease." Director Chen also sighed.

Yan Xinyuan looked up at him: "How long can I live with chemotherapy?"

"Depending on the progress of the disease, it can be as long as half a year, and as little as three or two months."

＊＊＊

This was the first time Qiao Yuchu went home for the night since she had a little argument downstairs with Xie Shi'an last time. She had been staying with her mother in the hospital these days, and occasionally came back to pick up some toiletries before leaving.

She sat on the bed, looked at the application form in her hand, covered her lips, and her shoulders trembled silently.

Jin Shunqi knew that she was in trouble, so he took her into his arms.

"No matter what decision you make, I will support you, but if you have already decided, don't regret it, just move on."

Qiao Yuchu put down the paper and sniffed.

"During this time, I seemed to be in a dream. I was pushed forward by life, and it was impossible to turn back. I just... just couldn't bear them... and... Coach Yan."

Jin Shunqi kissed her forehead to comfort her.

"If we have a chance, we can still come back and take a look."

Qiao Yuchu didn't want him to worry, so she forced a smile on her face.

"Well, let's pack up, the moving company will come tomorrow."

"it is good."

Jin Shunqi got up and went to the living room to pack things. Qiao Yuchu was tidying up the closet in the bedroom and found a lot of T-shirts from the Coastal Provincial Team.

There were many awards posted on the wall, some for playing games and some for being a good student, Qiao Yuchu tore them down one by one and threw them on the ground.

There are some trophies on the desk, and there are many honorary certificates and medals in the drawer, all of which are her youth.

After all, she couldn't bear to just throw them on the ground, took a cardboard box, and packed them in one by one.

When she and Jin Shunqi went to Beijing this time, in addition to going to the visa interview, the most important thing was to see a doctor for their mother, and secondly, he had to go back to the hospital to go through the resignation procedures.

When all the procedures are ready and the visas are issued, they will fly to the United States with their mother to start a new life.

So she can't bring much luggage.

The only thing that Qiao Yuchu packed into the suitcase was a group photo.

It was taken on her birthday during the national competition.

The teenagers in the photo are wearing cakes on their faces, hugging each other intimately, smiling brightly, everyone is there, everyone.

Xie Shi'an sat on the cold floor of the living room all night. From dark to dawn, the sound of rain outside the window did not stop, but the sound of ding ding dong dong from the next door in the early morning stopped.

She knew that Qiao Yuchu had finished moving.

After a while, the door of the next room opened.

Jin Shunqi went downstairs first, carrying the suitcase.

Qiao Yuchu put down the cardboard box in her hand, and stuffed the bank card in through the crack of the door.

"Shi'an, I'm leaving. Thank you. I'll return the money to you. I can't take it. The password of the card is your birthday. From now on...be careful."

Xie Shi'an leaned his head back on the edge of the sofa, biting his lip, and burst into tears silently. Hearing her footsteps gradually drifting away, he finally couldn't help but stumbled and got up, and rushed out the door.

She wanted to try again, one last time.

With tears in her eyes, Qiao Yuchu threw the cardboard box into the trash can. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Xie Shi'an rushed into the rain.

"Qiao Yuchu!"

The heavy rain washed her face, and the rain mixed with tears flowed on her face, and her voice was fragmented.

Qiao Yuchu's heart tightened, her footsteps stopped, she gritted her teeth and didn't look back.

Xie Shi'an choked up.

"Didn't we agree...to...won many, many championships together? Didn't you say that you would never lie to me?"

"Why... give up halfway?"

Qiao Yuchu heard her cry, but just stood with Jin Shunqi with his back to her, without looking back.

Xie Shi'an looked at her back with such determination, and looked at their tightly holding hands, it was so dazzling.

The strength in her whole body was drained little by little, and she retreated unconsciously, and she had already retreated outside the green belt. Not far behind was the landscape pond in the community.

"You retired... because of me? Because of what I said that night, did it bother you?"

"Is that why you don't want to stay in the same team with me?"

"Qiao Yuchu, speak up!"

She yelled hoarsely, and her feet were already on the edge of the pond.

"If it's not...you...you look back at me."

"If so…"

Xie Shi'an closed his eyes and burst into tears.

"I'm sorry, I won't bother you in the future."

Jin Shunqi wanted to go back and take a look, but Qiao Yuchu grabbed his wrist holding the umbrella, motioned him not to move, and said with tears.

"Let's go."

When she took the first step, Xie Shi'an's lips showed a smile like before, and she stepped on the ground and fell on her back.

A scream came from behind.

"Pick up!!"

Jian Changnian threw down the umbrella, her eyes were red, she chased the thin figure, jumped up, grabbed her hand, and jumped down.

She didn't know when she overcame her fear of water, she only knew that at that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: don't let Shi'an have an accident.

Fortunately, the water in this pond was not deep, it had just covered her chest, when Jian Changnian dragged her from the bottom to the shore, her whole body was shaking, and she didn't know whether it was because of fear or anger.

She looked at Xie Shi'an's face, grabbed her collar, and roared angrily.

"She left! She left without even looking at you! Xie Shi'an, you got the answer you wanted, are you satisfied?!"

Xie Shi'an's whole body was soaked and dirty, like a dog in the water, and his shining eyes were also dimmed.

She didn't move or speak, and she didn't move when she grabbed her collar.

Jian Changnian let go of her hand dejectedly, even though she lay down on the ground, looking at her like this, she felt a little disheartened.

"Is it worth it for you to make yourself like this?"

Even though he was pulled up in time, Xie Shi'an still choked up a few sips, coughed a few times, struggled to get up, and staggered towards the door of the unit.

"It's not worth it...it's not worth it...don't let anyone get close to me...I...I'm a disaster...I don't deserve anyone to treat me well..."

She stumbled back home, opened the refrigerator, and finished the wine, then picked up the melatonin bottle, turned it down, and found nothing.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Xie Shi'an's lips, he raised his hand and threw it out. When he turned sideways, he saw himself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the living room. He was so embarrassed, his clothes were covered in dirt, and fallen leaves were still hanging on the tips of his hair. .

Take a shower, it's too dirty.

With that in mind, she walked to the bathroom in a daze.

While sniffling, Jian Changnian ran out of Xie Shi'an's community, but was stopped when she reached the door.

It was the aunt who sold rice noodles, I still remember her.

"Hey, aren't you Shi'an's friend? Come play with her."

Jian Changnian was taken aback, and was pulled to the table and chair to sit down.

Aunt turned around and was busy.

"Did you quarrel with Shi'an? Why did you run out crying?"

Only then did Jian Changnian realize that she was crying too, so she casually wiped her face with her sleeve.

"It's okay, Auntie..."

Before he finished speaking, a bowl of steaming rice noodles was served in front of him.

"It's normal for friends to quarrel and fight. You, don't take it to heart. For so many years, except for Yuchu, I haven't seen anyone brought back by her to play. What's more, I see you often come, I think In Shi'an's heart, you are also her very important friend."

"Eat, go home early after eating, look at the clothes are all wet, the weather is not good today, I have to close the stall and go back."

Jian Changnian seems to know why Xie Shi'an likes to eat this rice noodle. It is steaming hot and fragrant. Red oil is wrapped in chili, sprinkled with green onion and coriander, and ham sausage is spread on the rice noodle.

She tasted it twice, and tears fell, swallowing big mouthfuls while choking.

The aunt was afraid of being choked, so she poured her another glass of water.

"Eat slowly, you won't be charged for this bowl."

Jian Changnian sniffed and looked up at her.

"That won't work, Auntie, make me another bowl, don't put spicy food, I...I'll bring it to Shi'an."

"Okay, that day, I saw that she came out to buy wine by herself very late, and left after eating a bowl of rice noodles at my place. I thought something must have happened to her, but she didn't say anything, and neither did I." Good question."

"Shi'an is quite strong."

While talking to people, my aunt didn't stop moving her hands.

Before she closed the stall and left, Jian Changnian still insisted on giving her the money for two bowls of rice noodles. The aunt smiled, got on the tricycle and ran away.

"Don't don't, you play very hard, so take these two bowls of rice noodles as my aunt treats you."

Jian Changnian chased after a few steps, but failed to catch up. Looking at her back riding a tricycle against the wind and rain and gradually going away, she smiled helplessly. The warmth brought by the food slowly filled her impoverished heart with strength.

She took a deep breath, turned around, and walked towards Xie Shi'an's house again, planning to pull her out of the house no matter what this time.

Jian Changnian knocked for a long time.

Xie Shi'an's house was quiet without a single sound.

It was still pouring rain.

She put the lunch box at the door, and just about to turn around and leave, at that moment, she didn't know which nerve sensed the danger.

Jian Changnian knocked on the door. Except for the sound of rain, the whole corridor was eerily quiet. She remembered what Aunt Mi Nian said.

"Shi'an is quite strong."

And the scene where she just jumped into the pond downstairs.

Alarm bells rang in my heart.

"Shi'an!" Jian Changnian raised her voice and yelled, but there was still no answer. She took a few steps back and kicked the door a few times. The old-fashioned iron door remained motionless, only a layer of dust fell off.

She gritted her teeth and ran downstairs in a hurry. At the door of the corridor, she found the shovel used by the cleaner to clean the community. She picked it up, her eyes were red, and she slammed on the door lock hard.

Finally, the doorknob crumbled.

Jian Changnian kicked it away, and rushed in, her vision was still a little unaccustomed to the dim environment in the room, the smell of instant noodles was mixed with the smell of alcohol in the room.

She turned on the light, rushed into the bedroom, lifted the quilt, there was no one there, and ran to the balcony and there was no one, the door lock of Grandpa's workshop was still hanging on it, Xie Shi'an was not inside.

She turned her gaze to the bathroom at the end of the hallway.

The door was open, but no one could be seen on the frosted glass.

Only the sound of water in the bathroom.

Jian Changnian swallowed her saliva, walked over step by step, opened the curtain, her pupils shrank suddenly, and rushed to her side with a stride, calling her name with a hint of crying.

"Shi'an! What's wrong with you, Shi'an?! Wake up!"

The shower was still on, Xie Shi'an's head was tilted on the edge of the bathtub, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, his clothes were all wet, and he fell down when he was lightly touched. Blood, light red blood spread from under her body and flowed into the sewer.

"Shi'an! Shi'an! Don't scare me..."

Jian Changnian hugged her in her arms, tears streaming down her face, and pressed her face to her forehead, it was hot.

Seeing that she couldn't wake her up, she ran out of the bathroom in a panic, went to find her mobile phone, and wanted to call 120.

Xie Shi'an's phone had been broken by her long ago, the screen was torn apart, no matter how hard she pressed it, she couldn't turn it on.

Jian Changnian choked with sobs, threw the phone away, crawled to her side with hands and feet, helped her up from the ground, and carried her on her back.

She gritted her teeth, tears kept rolling in her eyes, and with her back behind her back, she didn't know where she got so much strength, she rushed downstairs in one breath, and ran to the side of the road to stop the car.

It is not easy to take a taxi in rainy days.

It was hard to wait for a taxi.

Jian Changnian panted heavily.

"Master, go to Jiangcheng People's Hospital."

The driver lowered the window and glanced at the person on her back. It seemed that she was seriously injured, and he didn't know whether it was dead or alive, so he kicked the accelerator and left.

"Unlucky, don't pull, don't pull."

Another car came one after another.

"Master, please, save her!"

"Master, I beg you, please send us to the hospital! My friend...is really seriously injured!"

"If this continues, people will die!"

Whether it's a private car or a taxi, as soon as a car passes by, Jian Changnian pounces on her and begs, but without exception, seeing them like this, they are afraid to avoid them. Only one car stopped, and the man held on Umbrella got off the driver's seat and pushed the man to the side of the road.

"You are sick! If you want to die, die, don't get in the way!"

Jian Changnian staggered from being shoved, and wanted to pounce on him to beg him, but the man kicked the accelerator and drove away, the car door slammed into her, and she fell to the ground immediately, loosening her wrist, Xie Shi'an got off her back Sliding down, lying in the mud, the whole person even lost the color of his lips.

She was lying here, as thin and fragile as a piece of paper.

Jian Changnian held her head and wept bitterly on the deserted street until the car lights turned on again in the distance.

She seemed to see a glimmer of hope again, without even thinking about it, she rushed to the middle of the road, opened her arms, and knelt down with a plop.

Two people in the car are talking.

"I told you it's just fetal movement. It's late at night and it's raining so much. You have to go to the hospital to suffer."

"No, I've been on a business trip recently, and I haven't taken good care of you. I still have to go to the hospital, so I can feel at ease."

It was too late and then quickly, the car lights flashed, and a figure rushed out of the road. Without thinking, the woman turned the steering wheel to the left and stepped on the brake at the same time, and finally stopped. The two people in the car Everyone was in shock, especially the woman in the co-pilot was still pregnant.

She unbuckled her seat belt and went over to check on her condition.

"Are you OK?!"

The woman shakes her head.

"No, it seems that someone is injured, go down and have a look."

Jian Changnian closed her eyes, trembling all over, only heard the sound of tires rubbing against the ground, but did not wait for the expected pain.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw someone getting out of the car, and she didn't bother to get up, and walked over on her knees, pleading with tears.

"Please, help my friend...she's hurt badly..."

"Hey, get up!"

Seeing that it was a child, the woman driving the car quickly helped her up, and followed her to the side of the road. When she saw it, she was a little anxious, and turned her head.

"Lin Yan, someone is injured! Get in the car, I'll take you to the hospital!"

As she said, she hugged him horizontally.

Lin Yan turned around and opened the rear door for them, got in himself, and then dragged Jian Changnian up.

The door was locked, and he rushed all the way to the hospital.

Song Yuhang watched from the rearview mirror from time to time.

Jian Chang wanted to cry so much, the tears fell down like broken beads.

"Thank you...thank you all...if it wasn't for you...I really don't know what to do today..."

"Don't be afraid, your friend will be fine, she is a doctor."

Song Yuhang drove the car and said in relief.

Only then did Jian Changnian turn her eyes to the woman in front of her. The woman looked very young, with a beautiful face, bright and charming, but the years added some temperament to her body, making it impossible to guess her age, but She didn't know why, but just sitting here, she felt inexplicably at ease.

Xie Shi'an has been lying on her knees, the woman pulled out her hand and looked, it was full of blood, turned him over slightly, and looked through the light of the car, there was a hole in the thumb on the back of the head, the skin was torn apart.

She gasped suddenly.

"Song Yuhang, she hurt her head, drive faster!"

The woman sitting in front didn't reply, she just stepped on the gas pedal, and the value on the dashboard soared up.

Hearing what she said, Jian Changnian started to cry again, flustered and incoherent.

"Auntie...no...sister...she...you...you save her..."

Lin Yan quickly took off his coat, tore it into strips, glanced at her, and nodded.

"Don't be afraid, it will be fine. Come on, help me support her. I will help her stop the bleeding first, and send her to the hospital for further treatment."
