The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine - Chapter 109
The sun rose in the east and set in the west, Xie Shi’an got up and opened the curtains, and the flowers on the balcony were gradually withering.
Jian Changnian has also figured out her routine, and will always knock on the door when she is ready to go out.
“Shi’an, let’s go.”
Xie Shi’an changed his shoes at the door.
“coming.”
Train together, eat together, press the road together, go to the supermarket together, and go back to the dormitory to rest together.
The life of an athlete is so boring. Fortunately, there are people who come in and out together, joking and joking.
They really became inseparable, and gradually regained their former trust and tacit understanding in their daily relationship.
When the last petal of the rose falls.
Wan Jing arranges a training match for them.
At this time, less than ten days have passed since the start of the World Championships.
The opponent is the strongest men’s doubles combination currently in the national team, and they are also expected to win gold in this World Championships.
Before the game, Jian Changnian was no longer talking and laughing as usual, and was unusually silent since entering the locker room to prepare.
Xie Shi’an saw four words on her face:
It’s like facing a big enemy.
She knew that she hadn’t played such a high-intensity game for a while, and she had been practicing hard recently.
No matter how many games you have played, as long as you are still in awe of the field, you will still be nervous.
Xie Shi’an thought for a while, walked over and extended his hand to her.
“Don’t be afraid, just call as usual.”
Coach Yan, who used to be responsible for comforting people before the game, has now become her.
Jian Changnian was taken aback, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, she grabbed her hand and stood up vigorously.
“it is good.”
Wan Jing was more nervous than Jian Changnian.
She needs to use a game to prove herself, and Wan Jing needs to use this victory to prove that her vision and decision-making are correct, while others are sitting in the audience, but they never let go of any details on the field, making mistakes for them While annoyed, they stood up and applauded for their win.
The men’s team took the lead.
At the beginning of the second round, Xie Shi’an made a gesture behind the back of his left hand:
“You, cover me and hit their backcourt.”
Jian Changnian understood, nodded knowingly, stepped forward with the racket, and exchanged offensive and defensive positions with her.
No one is better at attacking than Xie Shi’an.
Even in the face of the men’s team members who have different heights and physical fitness, she did not show any weakness, showing a strong ability to control the field.
Even more amazing than field control ability is her observation ability.
After the last round of fighting, she was keenly aware that there was a vacancy in the backcourt defense of the opponent’s main attacker.
In the collision between professional players, the difference between the slightest loss and the huge difference may often be that moment, which can determine the outcome.
Under the cover of Jian Changnian, she seized the opportunity and killed eleven goals in one breath, directly tying the score and dragging the game into a decisive round.
The sound of thumping **** echoed throughout the arena.
Her beautiful figure.
smooth movement.
The instant explosive power even sparked the racket.
The ultimate violent aesthetics.
After the round was over, she put her hands on her knees, panting heavily, the clothes on her back were all wet, Jian Changnian came over and gave her a light fist bump.
“Leave it to me next.”
The men’s team members also saw that Xie Shi’an was exhausted, and looked at each other: “Beat Xie Shi’an, she’s going to be bored.”
The opponent’s strategy is too obvious, Wan Jing sighed.
“If you underestimate Jian Changnian, you will suffer.”
Even though she just won the singles championship of the World Youth Championship, it was the World Youth Championship after all, not the World Championships.
The coach of the men’s team sat with him to watch the game and didn’t take him seriously.
“If I were on the court, I would choose to fight like this. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xie Shi’an is the main attacker. If she is held down, the others will not be worried.”
But reality hit him hard.
At the beginning of the deciding game, Xie Shi’an was the main attacker on the surface. She clearly smashed the ball, but actually created opportunities for Jian Changnian to block the net. The two cooperated seamlessly and scored consecutively.
This trick, Mingxiu Plank Road and Chen Cang secretly, caught the men’s team members by surprise. She just made up for Xie Shi’an’s amazing explosive power but lack of stamina. In this kind of stalemate game, the advantage is reflected.
Jian Changnian was also born in singles. In terms of offensive and field control ability, she is not inferior to Xie Shi’an who is from the same school.
What’s more, they can understand with just one look, and the roles of spear and shield can be switched at any time.
The men’s team members who were disrupted started to make frequent mistakes. Jian Changnian seized the opportunity and directly smashed the ball to take away the game 2:1. Wan Jing stood up and applauded them loudly.
The head coach of the men’s team was a little dumbfounded.
“Okay, Lao Wan, where did you find the newcomer, there are two brushes.”
Wan Jing smiled triumphantly.
“Unexpectedly, my senior brother’s apprentice, Shi’an’s junior sister, and her style of play just complement each other, aren’t they a natural match!”
“Well, it seems that your medal count will surpass us again this time.”
“Hey, it’s all about winning glory for the country, give in, give in.”
“Don’t mind me, we can organize a few more friendly matches another day, and let our men’s team learn your style of play.”
“Okay, let’s talk about it.”
***
The training match is over.
Xie Shi’an and Wan Jing were talking, and Jian Changnian was packing up beside him. The two boys glanced at them, and one of them was taller, with a short cut, and was urged by his companion to walk up to Jane with his mobile phone. I always miss my side.
“Well… I think you play pretty well. Can you leave me a phone call? They are both from the national team anyway. We can also make an appointment to play and learn from each other in the future.”
Jian Changnian was taken aback, he didn’t have much heart at first, he felt very happy when he was praised, he didn’t realize that it was a flirtatious conversation, and excitedly took out his phone from his pocket.
“Okay, my number is…”
Xie Shi’an glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye, and dropped Wan Jing while he was talking.
“Coach Wan, let’s go first.”
Before Jian Chang could finish speaking, he was dragged away from behind with his neck stuck.
“I’m hungry, go eat, don’t whine.”
“Hey, wait a minute, bag, the bag hasn’t been taken yet.”
Jian Changnian turned her head and didn’t care about what to say to the boy, hurriedly picked up her golf bag, and ran towards her.
“What shall we eat?”
“hot pot.”
Jian Changnian’s eyes lit up immediately.
“you please?”
“Whoever scores the fewest points today invites.”
Jian Changnian suddenly became furious, changing his face faster than turning the pages of a book.
“Hey, can you be reasonable, I’m just throwing the ball for you, how do you score…”
Xie Shi’an spread his hands.
“Then I don’t care, that’s the rule of the national team.”
“Xie Shi’an, this is your rule!”
When Jian Changnian jumped up, he was about to choke someone’s throat, but Xie Shi’an reacted quickly and dodged quickly.
The setting sun dragged the shadow of the two fighting for a long time.
That is to say, Jian Changnian still pays for the meal after eating.
***
The day went on like this, and soon it was game day.
The plane flew over the border.
In Copenhagen in 2014, they shine here.
Xie Shi’an and Jian Changnian completed their women’s doubles debut at the World Championships and entered the finals with a complete victory.
On the day of the final, Jian Changnian opened the locker in the locker room as usual, took out the yellowed photo from it, and gently put it in his jacket pocket, the place closest to his chest.
Xie Shi’an changed his sneakers and got up.
“Let’s go, it’s time for us to enter.”
Jian Changnian closed the cabinet door and threw the ball bag over her shoulder.
“it is good.”
The opponents are Kim Nam-ji and her partner Choi Hye-hee.
Three rounds of fierce battle.
They sway their sweat and youth freely on the court.
You come and go, not giving in to each other.
The crisp sound of hitting the ball echoed throughout the stadium.
The surrounding big screens showed their sweaty faces and tacit movements.
Even the commentators exclaimed frequently.
“I originally thought that the temporary combination of Xie Shi’an and Jian Changnian would have a bit of a struggle when they met strong enemies like Jin Nanzhi and Cui Huixi. After all, they only worked together for less than three months, but Unexpectedly, after watching the whole game today, I can only use two words to describe their cooperation.”
“What word?”
“Smooth and seamless.”
Zhou Mu, who had finished the college entrance examination, also came to the scene to cheer for them, and Xie Shi’an’s mother and grandma Jian, who were invited to watch the game, sat in the auditorium and held cheering objects for them.
A sea of red.
When the last ball hits the ground.
There was silence for a few seconds.
Then suddenly there was a burst of cheers.
Xie Shi’an made a lore, and the game ended at 21:19.
The whole venue was boiling instantly, the crowd stood up like waves, and there was thunderous applause, Wan Jing also jumped up from the chair in the rest area, shouting hello to them loudly.
Enthusiastic fans in the auditorium have already had red eyes.
“Xie Shi’an, awesome! You are number one in the world!!”
“Team China, awesome!”
“Jian Changnian, you have won the World Championship!”
“Security inspection combination, invincible!”
…
At this moment, Jian Changnian was still sitting on the ground, a little unable to recover, she just fell down because of saving the ball.
Until Xie Shi’an reached out his hand.
She couldn’t believe it.
“Won?”
A smile appeared on the corner of Xie Shi’an’s lips: “I won.”
Only then did she blink her eyes, shed tears, sniffed her nose again, smiled, grabbed her hand, and stood up.
The national flag was hoisted in a foreign country, and sonorous and powerful music echoed throughout the venue.
In the applause of flowers, Jian Changnian took out the photo of Yan Xinyuan, held the gold medal in one hand, and raised it high with the other. Together with her teacher, she stood on the highest podium.
Seeing this scene, the commentator was also a little moved.
“At the end of the last World Youth Championship, she also took out this photo. At that time, I happened to go to interview her on the spot.”
“I asked her, why do you have to bring this photo with you every time you receive the prize after the competition?”
“Jian Changnian said that the person in the photo is her mentor, not only every time she receives an award, but also every time she plays a major game, she will keep this photo in her pocket, as if, Coach Yan also It’s like watching her there.”
“This photo means more to her than just an ordinary photo, it’s her talisman.”
“It seems that to her, Coach Yan is not only her first teacher, but also her guide and lighthouse, leading her and Xie Shi’an to continue to move forward.”
“Anyway, today I want to congratulate them and the Chinese team. The most dazzling twin stars in the world badminton world are born. If Coach Yan can see this scene, he should be very pleased.”
***
The doubles was over, and then it was the singles match. Xie Shi’an was in full swing, and rushed all the way to the finals with the first place in the group. In the finals, he defeated Jin Nanzhi 2:0 to win the championship. She was so angry that she played consecutive matches Afterwards, he left without accepting the media interview.
All of a sudden, there was an uproar.
Korean media commented on her as a “cashier”.
“Competitive soft-legged shrimp.”
“Once I meet the Chinese team, I won’t be able to play.”
…
It is worth mentioning that Jian Changnian also defeated Natiya, a talented girl from Thailand, and won the first bronze medal in the World Championships in his career.
Not to mention the team competition, after Jian Changnian joined, the Chinese team was even more powerful, and successfully avenged the South Korean team in the World Championships that year, winning the gold with a strong force.
At this point, the World Championships came to an end.
The Chinese women’s badminton team won the gold medals in all events and created a new history.
After all the games were over, the crowd cleared away, but Jin Nanzhi, who had already left, returned to the gymnasium alone, and sat for a long time in the empty auditorium, the spot of light cast from the ceiling shrunk at her feet bit by bit, Until the whole place is dark.
She buried her face in her palms.
Xie Shi’an left a racket on the court. After accepting the media interview, he let everyone go first and went back to get it by himself.
When she pushed the door and entered, she didn’t expect that there was still someone here, and even a little movement shocked Jin Nanzhi.
She raised her head abruptly and almost blurted out the person’s name. After seeing the person coming, she put on her usual sarcastic expression again.
“Yin… what are you doing here?”
“I forgot to take the racket.”
Xie Shi’an picked up the racket from the seat in the rest area, and was about to turn around and leave, but Jin Nanzhi also stood up.
“Incheon, at the Incheon Asian Games, I will definitely beat you.”
Xie Shi’an was noncommittal and kept walking.
“You’ve said that many times.”
Coming out of the venue, you have to walk through a secluded path to get to the parking lot. Xie Shi’an didn’t expect to meet his old friend here.
“Are you coming to the game?”
Yin Jiayi was startled when she saw her, and soon a smile appeared on her face.
“Yes, I haven’t congratulated you yet.”
Xie Shi’an also bent the corner of his lips.
“thanks.”
Since Yin Jiayi retired, many things have happened, and the two have not seen each other for a long time.
Yin Jiayi also knew that she was caught in a storm of public opinion before and was forced to undergo psychological treatment for a long time.
“how are things?”
Xie Shi’an smiled.
“It’s pretty good. Thanks to you for helping me clarify. How about you?”
After Yin Jiayi retired, she lived in seclusion and disappeared from the public’s sight, and she never contacted them proactively.
“I opened an arena in Hangzhou, so it can be regarded as still playing, and I can come to play when I am free.”
Xie Shi’an was also very happy to meet old friends again.
“Okay, after the Incheon Asian Games are over, you can take a good vacation. By the way, it’s rare to see each other, why don’t you all get together and have a meal, Chang Nian and the others miss you very much.”
She left the national team in a hurry, which hurt Wan Jing’s heart, and he must still have a grudge.
“No, Teacher Wan doesn’t want to see me. I went to sit with everyone, and it’s embarrassing.”
Xie Shi’an glanced in the direction of the stadium.
“What about her, don’t you go and see her?”
When it comes to Jin Nanzhi, there is a bit of sadness in her smile.
“I’ll just be an ordinary football fan. It’s enough to know that she is safe, healthy, and still working hard for the badminton she loves. It’s hard for her to live a peaceful life.”
Since he didn’t want to see her, why did he come to watch the game alone and still stay here after the game ended, unwilling to leave.
Xie Shi’an didn’t expose her, but said: “Then I’ll go first, they are waiting for me.”
“Okay, see you next time.”
“See you next time.”
Korean team lounge.
The team members are also preparing to leave the field, packing up their things, and there are a lot of support items sent by fans on the sofa.
There was also a bunch of violets on the table, and the card was signed, and it was for Jin Nanzhi.
Some teammates laughed.
“I don’t know which fan of Nanzhi’s is it. Every time before a game, she will send violets.”
It has been going on for more than three years without interruption.
“Stop talking, just throw it away, Nan Zhi hates Violet the most, and she will get angry again when she comes back and sees it.”
***
The three of them finally reunited, and the game was over. Jian Changnian didn’t even eat a few bites during the dinner party. After everyone left and grandma fell asleep, she sneakily brought up the takeaway.
She went to knock on Zhou Mu’s door.
Zhou Mu welcomed the person in, and looked behind her with his head.
“Where’s Shi’an?”
Jian Chang wanted to pull something out of the thermal bag as if by magic.
“Going to buy wine, I’ll come right away. Here, I ordered barbecue, with crayfish, stir-fried sixties, and three fried rice with eggs. What kind of Western food, my Chinese stomach is not used to it.”
It is said that Cao Cao will arrive when Cao Cao arrives.
The knocking sounded again.
Zhou Mu walked over to open the door.
Xie Shi’an directly brought up a piece of beer.
“These are the only convenience stores.”
Zhou Mu was dumbfounded.
“Ah so much, Coach Wan won’t talk about you, will he?”
Jane Changnian answered for her.
“Coach Wan turned a blind eye to it a long time ago, otherwise you think why he went back so early, you, let her have a drink, she won the championship, she is happy today.”
Zhou Mu’s heart skipped a beat because of the intimacy and understanding of Xie Shi’an in these words.
But she didn’t think about it too much. Anyway, their relationship has always been very good, and they are almost catching up with her.
Xie Shi’an: “I didn’t eat much at night, I’m hungry.”
“Then what are you waiting for, get ready.”
Jian Changnian put the food on the table and chairs on the balcony, and the three of them chatted about the past while eating barbecue with the night breeze blowing.
“By the way, I haven’t asked you yet, where did you take the exam?”
“Shanghai director department.”
Jian Changnian ate one crayfish by herself, peeled three for Xie Shi’an, picked the prawns clean, and put them on the plate in front of her.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to study law?”
Zhou Mu smiled.
“After visiting Cheng Zhen once in prison, I changed my mind. I originally thought about studying law. Since no one is willing to defend him, then I will come and protect him instead.”
“Later he persuaded me, I don’t want to be his burden, put pressure on him, it’s not easy for him to be inside, although I have some regrets, I went back and thought about it all day and night, and I really shouldn’t let down my dreams and efforts .”
Jian Chang said “tsk”.
“You really listen to Cheng Juier’s words. In order to prepare for the H University Law Department, you cried to me on the phone, saying that every day is in dire straits, and you are dying. I advised you to choose what you like, but you still don’t listen.”
“Why did you tell me at the time, if you don’t hit the south wall and don’t look back, it’s a big deal to fight again in the next year.”
Zhou Mu’s face turned red, and she was about to wipe the red oil on her body, but Jian Chang Nian squeaked and avoided it.
Xie Shi’an also had a smile on his lips.
“How is Orange Juice inside now? I haven’t had time to go back and see him.”
“It’s very good. I wrote to me two days ago, saying that I will help the kitchen in the cafeteria, behave well, and strive for a reduced sentence.”
Xie Shi’an also sent some daily necessities to Jiangcheng Prison from time to time. Hearing what she said, he felt a little relieved, and heard her regret, so he raised the can.
“There will be no one to defend Cheng Juer, he still has us, we are outside, and then we can think of a way for him.”
Jian Changnian also raised the beer in his hand.
“Yes, there are still many good people in this world. If there is one lawyer Zhou missing, there will be lawyers Wang, Liu, and Li. There will be no one to do these things.”
The corners of Zhou Mu’s eyes glowed, and he also laughed, clinking glasses with them lightly.
“Then this glass of wine is to congratulate you on winning the championship, and wish us all the best.”
The night was getting dark.
Xie Shi’an has never talked much, drinking and eating in silence, listening to Zhou Mu’s run on Jian Changnian, he still doesn’t forget to make up the knife at the critical moment.
Another bottle of beer.
Her face was flushed red.
Zhou Mu wanted to play the game again, but Jian Changnian hurriedly held him down.
“No, no, Shi’an can’t drink any more. She has been busy with training these days, so she hasn’t eaten well. Her work and rest are irregular. If I continue to drink, I’m afraid she will have a stomach problem.”
“It’s not that easy…”
Xie Shi’an had a smile in his eyes, just about to stand up to get the wine in her hand, when he staggered unexpectedly.
Jian Chang wanted to help the person quickly.
“See, she’s really dying. I’ll take her back to her room first, and then I’ll come and clean it up with you.”
“Jian Changnian, let go of me, I’m not drunk—”
“Okay, I get it. You’re not drunk. If you keep yelling so loudly, everyone in the building will know that we’ve been secretly drinking behind Coach Wan’s back.”
Only then did Xie Shi’an shut up, and was helped back to the room cursing. Jian Changnian dragged her to the bed, took off her shoes and coat, and wiped her face with a wet towel.
After tidying up, she poured a cup of warm water and put it on the head of her bed, within reach of her hand, then got up and left.
When she returned to Zhou Mu’s room, she had almost cleaned it up, and Jian Changnian was going to take the trash down and throw it away.
Zhou Mu looked at her thoughtfully.
“You have a good relationship with Shi’an?”
Jian Changnian smiled.
Zhou Mu thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be the case, but she always felt that she cared and cared for Xie Shi’an too much in detail, far beyond the scope of friends.
“How is she treating you?”
Jian Changnian thought about it seriously, and said sincerely.
“Apart from bullying me in the arena, making me run errands for her, and running on me occasionally, she’s pretty good. Why do you ask so suddenly?”
Jian Changnian is a down-to-earth person and has a passion for others, while Xie Shi’an is a football fanatic who has nothing else on his mind except playing football. It seems that the two of them just have a good relationship.
After all, they are also friends who share weal and woe, and now they are teammates again. If they get along day and night, they will naturally become closer.
Zhou Mu felt relieved.
“It’s nothing. I’m afraid you will be bullied. It’s getting late. Go back and rest early.”
Jian Changnian nodded, and laughed harmlessly again.
“Okay, you go to bed early, too.”
