The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine - Chapter 105

After returning from the cemetery, Jian Changnian sat with her for a while after reading the letter. Seeing that it was getting late, she was about to get up and leave. Xie Shi’an looked at her.

“It should be… there is no car, I will share half of the bed with you.”

The training base is not too close to the central hospital. One is in the suburbs and the other is in the urban area. However, Jian Changnian delivers her meals three times a day. Sitting on the bench in the corridor for a night, Xie Shi’an saw her hard work, but never said it.

All the things that have happened during these days have made the relationship between the two of them closer. She has invited them on her own initiative, so how could Jian Changnian refuse.

“Then I’ll take a shower, do you have extra pajamas?”

Xie Shi’an thought for a while: “There are sick clothes.”

Jian Changnian: “…”

All right, it will be done.

Fortunately, the single ward is spacious enough.

She came out of the shower and put on Xie Shi’an’s hospital gown, which unexpectedly fit well except for the long sleeves.

In the darkness, Xie Shi’an was lying on the bed, she walked over, climbed onto the bed, and lay beside her.

The ends of her hair were still wet, with a bit of moisture, and her eyes were also wet, like a deer.

“Shi’an, are you asleep?”

Ask knowingly.

Xie Shi’an: “Well, I fell asleep.”

Jian Changnian then stuck it a little further, using both hands and feet, wrapping around her body like an octopus.

Xie Shi’an almost recited it all at once, he couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Did you secretly eat junk food again behind Yan… Liang’s coach?”

A sentence blurted out subconsciously, Jian Chang’s thoughts were buried in her chest, and her voice was muffled: “I don’t have any appetite for anything lately.”

That’s right, if there is one person in the world who can empathize with her, it must be Jian Changnian.

When she lived at home like a year, she must also have trouble sleeping and eating because of sadness.

The overly intense emotions have passed, and all that remains is the sadness that slowly penetrates into the bones and flesh, and every time Yan Xinyuan is mentioned, it will flare up once.

Jian Changnian’s voice is very soft.

“Shi’an, I miss Coach Yan.”

When she said these words, hot tears slid down her neck.

Xie Shi’an was startled, then slowly raised his hand and placed it on her back.

I don’t know when, she no longer rejects being close to her, not to mention that it has been a long time since she has not seen a living thing in her arms, and the temperature of a living person is also pressing against her skin, and the cold blood on her chest has returned. After a long absence, it became alive.

Jian Changnian sniffed, and told her about Yan Xinyuan’s death one after another.

“Shi’an, do you know? After Coach Yan left, I went to the dormitory to sort out his belongings. I found a booklet in the drawer of the closet. It was full of people’s names. It turned out that besides me, he also sponsored many poor student.”

“He is such a frugal person, usually he is reluctant to buy a package of cigarettes, no wonder he can’t save much money.”

“When he was there, we shouted every day in the Mediterranean Sea, but no one mentioned him when he was gone.”

“Shi’an, are you listening?”

“Ok.”

Jian Changnian continued speaking on his own.

“The leader of the provincial team said that the office would be vacated. There were still a lot of books on his desk, and the new training plan had not yet been implemented. I was reluctant to throw them away. I moved them all back to my dormitory. There was also his pipe. Bring them all back.”

“He doesn’t have any relatives, and he doesn’t know who to transfer these things to. I take it with me, and it’s just a thought.”

“I haven’t had a father since I was a child. The first time I felt the warmth of a father’s love was when he was poisoned by drugs. He carried me to the hospital. So, I am really sad that he is gone.”

“But I dare not cry in front of you.”

“Then why do you dare now?”

Jian Changnian sucked her nose, and simply covered her clothes with tears and snot.

“Just do whatever you want now. I can’t help it. It’s too uncomfortable. I cry when I want to. Besides, I’ll hold you. Even if you want to commit suicide, you can’t.”

“If I had a cleanliness, you would have been kicked down by me now.”

Jian Chang laughed through tears.

“It’s too late, I wiped it all, you just say it now.”

Jian Changnian fell down again, hugging her arm tightly like a puppy, full of dependence.

In the dim room, her eyes were shining with tears.

“Shi’an, don’t drive me away, Coach Yan is gone, I… only you.”

Xie Shi’an was taken aback, as if his heart had been hit hard by someone, and the sour and astringent feeling spread from his chest to his eye sockets.

She let go of Jian Changnian’s collar, and patted her on the head instead.

& “Go to sleep, tomorrow… There are still many things to do tomorrow.”

＊＊＊

Before the press conference, Xie Shi’an went to Jiangcheng Prison to visit Cheng Zhen.

The two people who haven’t seen each other for a long time are a little strange.

Cheng Zhenzhen has a cropped head and a stubble growing on his chin. He is very thin. He wears an orange prison uniform and is handcuffed and fettered.

Xie Shi’an’s youthful vigor was also quietly smoothed out.

After the greetings, she still wanted to say sorry to him face to face, but before she could open her mouth, Cheng Zhen asked the prison guard to help her return the CD she entrusted Jian Changnian to send in.

Xie Shi’an stared at the signed record handed out by the prison guard, and was startled, his eyes slowly turning red.

Cheng Zhen smiled through the glass, as before.

“I think you need it more than I do right now.”

＊＊＊

Early in the morning, Mama Xie packed her things at home, and even changed into formal clothes that she rarely wore once in a hundred years.

Her husband watched her busy with cold eyes.

“What do you mean, don’t you need to send your child to class today?”

“Today is Saturday, school is on holiday.”

“Then don’t my children and I have to eat at home?”

Mother Xie slammed the closet door.

“I know what you mean, but that is also my daughter, a piece of flesh that fell from me. I have abandoned her many times, this time I must stand by her side!”

national team.

conference Center.

Wan Jing put up his badge in front of all the leaders.

“If you want to block Xie Shi’an, block me first! When my senior brother was forced to leave by you because of Niuniu, I couldn’t do anything for him. When my apprentice retired, I was powerless. This time, I must not stand by. Watching you obliterate a genius boy and obliterate the future of our country!”

Seoul, Korea.

In Jin Nanzhi’s mansion.

The TV was on in the living room, and she was sitting on the sofa wiping her trophies, medals, and certificates of honor, setting up a table in every possible way.

“It is reported that the well-known badminton player Xie Shi’an, who has been banned by the Chinese Badminton Association, will hold a press conference at 14:00 today. The news about her cheating matches and corrupt character has spread on social media recently…”

South Korean media also reported the matter with high profile.

Park Min Heon shook the red liquid in the goblet.

“That’s great, Nan Zhi, it seems that you have one less strong competitor.”

Jin Nanzhi wiped the gold medal from the London Olympics, but he didn’t know what he was thinking, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Park Min Xian called her again.

“Nan Zhi, Nan Zhi, are you unhappy that Xie Shi’an has been suspended?”

Jin Nanzhi looked up, threw the medal back into the box, and just said, “Coach Park, I want to help her.”

With the Jin family’s influence, although it can’t influence the decision of the Chinese Badminton Association, there is probably nothing wrong with manipulating public opinion.

Park Minxian paled in shock and stood up.

“Jin Nanzhi, are you crazy?! Without her, do you know how many gold medals you can win in international competitions?!”

“Someone once told me that we are just opponents, not enemies. Coach Park, I am lonely enough, and I don’t want to lose my only…opponent.”

＊＊＊

After more than a month, this is Yin Jiayi’s first interview with the media after retiring, in order to clarify the rumors that she kicked herself out of the national team for Xie Shi’an.

The former captain of the national team, even after retiring, did not forget her responsibilities and did her best to protect her teammates.

Yin Jiayi talked eloquently to the camera.

“I retired only because of injuries and some personal reasons. It has nothing to do with Xie Shi’an. Please don’t make too many speculations.”

“She and I are rivals, but also friends. She has worked really hard all the way from the national competition. I know her very well. She loves badminton more than anyone else. She loves this field. She will not give up for a little profit. Sportsmanship, a man who betrays his work ethic and his country’s honor.”

“I guarantee with my personality that the above statement is true.”

During the recess, the next physical education class, everyone in the classroom had left, and Zhou Mu still sat in the classroom without moving, burying his head in writing.

A friend ran in from outside the classroom with a racket and called her.

“Mumu, what are you doing? We’re going to play ball.”

Zhou Mu sat upright, writing words stroke by stroke.

“I’m writing a letter to the Badminton Association.”

Friends came over to have a look.

“Is it for that friend of yours?”

“Well, I don’t know if it will work, but I have to try it first.”

The friend thought for a while, turned around, and tore a page from the homework book.

“I also don’t think Xie Shi’an will be that kind of person. If you add me, I’ll come too.”

Zhou Mu looked up at her with a smile on his lips.

“You haven’t seen her, how can you trust her so much?”

“Because she is your friend, I believe you, no one knows a friend better than a friend.”

Yu coordinated the investigation for more than a month, but did not find any results. On the contrary, Xie Shi’an was raped by human flesh, raped by the Internet, and chased and intercepted by unscrupulous reporters.

Conservation of quality is an invariable law in all things. There are those who hate her and those who like her. Those who really support her have sent letters complaining about her from all over the country to the Badminton Association. in the mailbox.

＊＊＊

This is not the first time Xie Shi’an faced the camera, but it was the first time she held a press conference.

Before taking the stage, Xie Shi’an looked at the black crowd below and the long/gun/short/cannon erected, and the images of being questioned by people in those days flashed in his mind, and he took a step back unconsciously , and then someone supported his back.

Jian Changnian nodded vigorously at her.

“Shi’an, come on, I’ll wait for you in the audience.”

“And I.”

In the distance, a figure walked over quickly.

A hint of surprise welled up in Jian Changnian’s eyes.

“Coach Wan, why are you here?”

“Here on behalf of the Badminton Association.”

Since he was able to come here at this time, it meant that the Yuxie Association’s treatment of her had already come to fruition.

Fortunately, it was he who came and no one else.

Jian Changnian breathed a sigh of relief, and Xie Shi’an also had a long-lost, grateful smile in his eyes.

“Coach Wan, I have caused you trouble again this time.”

Wan Jing took her shoulders.

“Hey, I promised my senior brother to take care of you, let’s go, I will accompany you in.”

Xie Shi’an is actually not a particularly good talker. The reporter can answer whatever the reporter asks. He speaks concisely and without sloppy words. Because of this, he appears extremely sincere.

When asked about his relationship with Kim Nam Ji.

She just said.

“There are no friends in the game, only opponents.”

At this time, a reporter raised his hand to ask a question.

“Miss Xie, did you accept money from the South Korean team to play fake matches?”

Xie Shi’an looked over.

“Have you watched my World Championship game?”

The reporter was taken aback.

Xie Shi’an said lightly.

“The opponent is also the South Korean team. Unfortunately, the day before the game, I had appendicitis. The fever was almost 40 degrees. I stood on the court and insisted on finishing the game. If I played a fake match, I would retire at that time. Appendicitis is the best. I don’t have any excuses at the World Championships, let alone the Olympics.”

“If you don’t believe me, the medical records at that time are all there. Coach Wan is also here. You can ask him.”

“Then how do you explain your father’s refusal to undertake the obligation of support for accusing you of domestic violence?”

“Is he here today?”

The reporters looked around the venue, whispering to each other.

“Since he didn’t come, isn’t that enough to explain the problem? I really want to ask him personally, in the past eighteen years, has he ever fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations as a father?”

“Regarding his slander, rumors, maliciously edited videos, distorted facts, and the fact that he blackmailed me, I reported to the police yesterday and submitted all the relevant evidence to the police. I believe the Jiangcheng police will give me justice.”

“Then about your private endorsement, is it true?”

“It’s true. At that time, something happened to a friend’s family and she was in urgent need of money. I wanted to help her, but there was no other way to earn money, so I accepted the endorsement in private, which violated the regulations of the Badminton Association. It was me. No, I apologize to everyone. I will bear all the losses on my own, and I will accept any punishment imposed on me by the Badminton Association, but please give me another chance so that I can continue to stand on the field I love and serve the country. Honor.”

Xie Shi’an answered all the previous questions, the controversies and doubts about her, except when asked why she lost to Jin Nanzhi 1:2 in the Olympic Games, everyone made a mistake in the last game. It is obvious to all.

Of course, Xie Shi’an also knew that if you lose, you lose. She played so well before, so it’s no wonder that the outside world suspected her of letting go.

She was silent for a few seconds, then spoke.

“Because before the last game, I learned that my mentor, Yan Xinyuan, the former head coach of the Binhai Provincial Team, was terminally ill and was being rescued in the ICU.”

“In training, Coach Yan is my lighthouse and my guide. In life, he is like my father.”

At this time, a reporter raised his hand to ask a question.

“Is Coach Yan out of danger now?”

Xie Shi’an lowered his eyes, and his eyes were slightly red.

“The rescue failed, and he died in the hospital on the day I returned to China.”

The reporter who just asked the question moved his lips, as if he didn’t expect such a result.

Xie Shi’an looked down and saw that no one was raising their hands anymore, stood up, and bowed deeply to the camera.

“I am an athlete, but I… am just an ordinary person, an ordinary person with flesh and blood who can feel grief and pain.”

“I am sorry that I lost the game and failed everyone’s expectations, but I will always be proud of being an ordinary person.”

The audience was silent, the reporters looked at her, some had red eyes, some forgot to record, they were stunned for a few seconds, and then they gave out sparse applause, and finally joined together.

When Xie Shi’an walked out of the TV station, what she never expected was that Mother Xie was here too. She was so out of place in a formal suit among a group of kids who supported her.

Mama Xie would hand out her own hand-painted leaflets to everyone she met.

“My daughter is really not what they say…”

Her words also attracted the attention of reporters. Someone interviewed her: “Excuse me, are you really Xie Shi’an’s mother?”

She still doesn’t know that she has always been submissive at home, a mother with a weak temper and a weak personality, and there are still times when she is so brave.

She blushed and explained over and over again to the reporters who questioned her real identity: “I am really Shi’an’s mother. Her father and I divorced when she was very young. This is the divorce certificate.” You can see, her father never cared about her when she was young, smoking, drinking, gambling and doing all kinds of crimes, and only asking for money from Shi’an when she owed a lot of money, don’t believe his words…”

Xie Shi’an shouted hoarsely, “Mom.”

The woman turned her head suddenly, she hadn’t called her that for many years.

Xie’s mother’s eyes were red, and she hugged him into her arms.

“Hey, it’s okay, kid, mom will take you home.”

Xie Shi’an took two steps, but suddenly remembered something, turned around, and saw Jian Changnian standing in the crowd.

Her eyes were also slightly red, and she was looking at her with a gratified smile on her lips.

Xie Shi’an walked over step by step and pulled her over.

“let’s go.”

This is the second time Xie Shi’an went to his mother’s house. As soon as he entered the door, Xie’s mother was busy getting slippers and water for them.

“Just put your shoes here. You guys sit down first, and I’ll cook. The dishes are all bought yesterday. The meal will be ready in a while.”

“Don’t be so busy, Mom, I… I’ll leave after a while.”

The man also got up from the sofa.

“There is no drink in the refrigerator, I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some.”

“Eh, good.”

Mother Xie responded in the kitchen, then turned around and smiled: “You guys sit down, sit down, you’re welcome, Yoyo, turn on the TV for sister.”

There was one child in the family who was noisy at most, and two of them had to knock over the roof. Xie Shi’an sat beside him, looking at Jian Changnian and Youyou, the “year-old friends”, the corners of his lips twitched.

Sunlight streams in from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The picture of the girl holding the toy plane and leading Yoyo around the house is so beautiful, and their creaking laughter spread far away. I have to admit that Bean Sprouts is indeed better than her at making children happy.

Thank you mother for bringing out the dishes.

“Hurry up, wash your hands and eat.”

After dinner, Mother Xie planned to keep them here for the night, Xie Shi’an shook his head and said.

“No, I have to go to the hospital to pack my things. Tomorrow… Tomorrow I will go back to the training base for training.”

Now that the Badminton Association’s ban on her has been lifted, it is time for her to start recovering and prepare for the national competition at the end of the year.

Since she said so, Mother Xie didn’t force her to stay.

“Then I’ll drive you.”

Before leaving, Yoyo ran over and tugged at her clothes, Xie Shi’an lowered his head.

The little girl stuffed a candy into her palm and whispered.

“Sister, come and play with me next time.”

Xie Shi’an finally bent his lips and revealed a smile.

“it is good.”

Back at the training base, Wan Jing hasn’t left yet, she seems to be waiting for her. At the press conference just now, Wan Jing also announced the Badminton Association’s decision to resume her training from now on, but she was still demoted. Salary, as well as half a year’s bonus deducted, and prohibited from participating in any evaluation work within one year.

“I just left in a hurry. I haven’t given you the contract yet. I worked so hard to get it. You have to make up for it.”

Of course, Xie Shi’an knew that there is no free lunch in the world. Wan Jing lobbied for her in many ways, and of course hoped that she would join the national team and play a leading role in the women’s singles after Yin Jiayi left.

She smiled and took the contract.

“No problem, just can I wait a little later…”

Before she finished speaking, Wan Jing said again.

“I know, you want to play in this year’s national competition, it’s okay, it has a beginning and an end, well, I didn’t fill in the registration time, you can write it yourself.”
