The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine - Chapter 114
An athlete of Xie Shi’an’s level has endorsements from several major international brands, and his net worth exceeds 100 million yuan. Every game can at least bring millions of dollars to the organizer. Her strike, There was smoke everywhere.
In the face of interests, no one will be a fool, not to mention that the Chinese Badminton Association, one of the important members of the International Badminton Federation, is also standing behind her.
The day after Xie Shi’an made his statement, more players came forward on Twitter/Twitter, telling their personal experiences and accusing the South Korean team of lacking sportsmanship.
All of a sudden, it can be said that the wall is falling and everyone is pushing.
#Weneedtobefair!#
This short sentence has been trending for half a month.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the International Badminton Federation, the Olympic Council of Asia and the International Arbitration Commission had no choice but to announce the establishment of a joint investigation team to intervene in the investigation of all the matches of the South Korean team in the Incheon Asian Games.
three months later.
Beijing has entered winter, the temperature is low but the sun is still shining brightly. Jian Changnian got up early and finished her run, then went back to the dormitory to take a shower, changed her clothes, and hurried downstairs to ride her bicycle.
The security guard at the door opened the door for her.
“Yo, it’s so early, are you looking for Shi’an again?”
It’s almost the end of the year, and there are no competition tasks. After Xie Shi’an returned to China, except for daily training, he went to school to attend classes. Tsinghua University and the training base are not in the same area, and the distance is a bit far. Sometimes, when the workload is heavy, he will not come back.
Jian Changnian rode to the door like a gust of wind, copied a newspaper from the newsstand, turned around and laughed loudly.
“That’s right, thank you sir, I’ll take the newspaper away and show it to Shi’an.”
The Sports Daily, placed in the basket in front of the bicycle, published the headline “Park Min-heon resigned as the head coach of the Korean team, Choi Hye-hee was suspended for half a year due to match-fixing turmoil” on the largest page.
The wind blew off the leaves of the ginkgo tree. With a bright smile on the corner of the boy’s lips, he galloped across the long street facing the sun.
Tsinghua University Gymnasium.
A school team is playing a friendly match today.
Before Jian Changnian walked in, she heard screams.
“Ahh, senior sister is so handsome!!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh how can she play the ball so well and look so good-looking!”
“Sister looked at me! She looked at me! Help, I’m going to pass out happily!”
…
She squeezed into the crowd with great difficulty, and Xie Shi’an on the field jumped high and took away the game with a beautiful lore.
After she landed, she picked up a towel from the sidelines to wipe off her sweat, and the enthusiastic students surrounded her.
“Sister, you drink water.”
“Senior sister, can you sign my name?”
“Sister, wipe it with a handkerchief.”
“Sister, this is a letter I wrote to you…”
The drink bottles in the girls’ hands were beautifully packaged, and even the handkerchiefs they handed over were pink, with Xie Shi’an’s Q-version portrait embroidered on them.
She is so welcome.
Jian Changnian, who was holding a thermos in his hand, was about to go up, but suddenly stopped, and put his hands behind his back.
“Here, you’re welcome.” Xie Shi’an finished signing, licked his lips, just happened to be a little thirsty, and glanced casually over.
“Come here today, my partner is here.”
After she finished speaking, she stuffed the thing into the hand of the person who handed it to her, and walked straight towards Jian Changnian.
“Water, I’ve seen it all, take it out quickly, I’m dying of thirst.”
Jian Changnian dawdled, but Xie Shi’an reached out and snatched it by himself, unscrewed the bottle cap and took two sips.
“Pfft… what is this, a bitter taste!”
Jian Changnian scratched her head.
“Isn’t it the cold weather? I made some scented tea.”
Xie Shi’an smacked his lips twice, with a look of disgust.
“You started to keep healthy at a young age?”
“It’s good to drink some, and pick and choose. So many people hand you drinks, why don’t you drink them?”
“It’s not that you don’t know, I can’t just drink what others give me.”
In other words, you can drink what she gives.
Only then did the young man smile again, and the trace of inexplicable jealousy in his heart just now was swept away.
“Oh yes, I’m here to tell you good news…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the fans behind her were already moved by the news, and there was a large area of darkness.
“Jian Changnian, is Jian Changnian here too?!”
“Quick, go get her autograph!”
“Pass it on, as long as you go to Tsinghua University, you can meet idols!”
“Security inspection team, they are so persistent wherever they go!”
“Senior sister, senior sister, can we take a group photo? Hey, don’t leave…”
Xie Shi’an’s expression changed, he quickly screwed on the bottle cap, grabbed her wrist, and ran out.
“There are too many people here, let’s go out first.”
The two came out of the gymnasium and ran a long distance in one breath. Jian Changnian clutched his stomach, so tired that he couldn’t straighten up.
“Don’t run, don’t run, sign if you want, I haven’t eaten this morning, if I keep running, I will die.”
Xie Shi’an glanced at the cafeteria not far away.
“Why didn’t you say it earlier if you didn’t eat, it’s already noon.”
The two slipped in through the back door of the cafeteria and sat down in a remote corner.
Xie Shi’an went to buy two meals, gave her the extra bowl, and ordered some dishes for others.
“Did you come by bike again?”
Jian Changnian nodded, gobbled it up.
“Anyway, it’s okay, just treat it as exercise. By the way, I came to tell you the results of the review…”
The corner of Xie Shi’an’s mouth twitched, the young man’s physical strength is really good.
She listened while eating.
“I thought it would be a few months.”
“It’s been three months. If the investigation results don’t come out, it’s time for us to celebrate the New Year. It’s a good thing for Park Minxian to resign. It’s just that Cui Huixi was suspended for half a year. It’s too cheap for her!”
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Jian Changnian was indignant. After she returned to China, she was worried every day about her eyesight, whether it could return to the way it was before. After the eyesight subsided, she also did rehabilitation training for a long time. Now, God still favors her, and she didn’t let her ruin her career at a young age.
Xie Shi’an snorted coldly.
“Half a year, it’s a bit cheaper for her, but it won’t be able to catch up with the World Championships in the spring of next year. If you can’t get the ranking in the World Championships, it is estimated that your qualification for the Rio Olympics will also be suspended.”
For a young player who is on the rise, not being able to participate in the World Championships and the Olympics is already a kind of snow in disguise.
While eating, Xie Shian glanced at the newspaper. Both Park Minxian and Cui Huixi were punished accordingly, but in the news, there is always one person whose name is invisible. I hope she really did nothing. , not the chaebol behind her who saved her.
Jian Chang wanted to see her expression, and gave someone a piece of meat.
“If it’s not mentioned in the news, it must be.”
Xie Shi’an pulled the corner of his lower lip, noncommittal.
“Are you busy this afternoon?”
Jian Changnian shook her head.
“No, I’m on vacation today.”
Xie Shi’an let out a thoughtful “Oh”.
“So you came all the way here just to tell me about this, and you said on the phone, can’t you?”
“I…” Jian Changnian choked on a few grains of rice, her face flushed, and she didn’t know when she would miss her when she couldn’t see her, maybe it was just a long-term habit and dependence.
It’s just that there is no way to talk about such a reason, and Xie Shi’an’s eyes that seemed to be talking made her even more flustered.
“Didn’t I want to tell you the good news in person? I, I finished eating, so I’ll go back first.”
Xie Shi’an pulled him back.
“Come on, isn’t it a vacation? I’ll take you on a day trip to Tsinghua University.”
***
Two people ride a wobbly bicycle along the Ginkgo Avenue, and the sun casts dappled light and shadows from the gaps in the treetops.
Students on both sides of the road are playing and playing with schoolbags on their backs.
Teenager playing football on the playground.
A couple posing for a group photo under the street sign of Tsinghua University.
Lively classroom.
Quiet library.
Jian Changnian followed Xie Shi’an step by step through a time she had never set foot in.
Until twilight.
The two sat down by the pond, Xie Shi’an pointed to the landscape in front of him, and said with great interest.
“This is Jinchun Garden, and it is also the original site of “Moonlight in the Lotus Pond” written by Mr. Zhu Ziqing. Unfortunately, it is winter and there is nothing to see. Come in summer…”
When she said this, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, and the smile in her eyes was as light as a breeze.
A string in Jian Changnian’s heart was gently touched again. She talked about summer, which means that there will be a good time like this, and there will be a next time.
See you next time and tomorrow, it is the best language she has ever heard.
Just thinking about it, the corners of her lips couldn’t help but raise a big smile, and when she looked at her, she really laughed out loud.
“I’m talking to you, why are you laughing?”
Jian Changnian got up, walked to her side, facing the pond under the setting sun, and folded her hands into a trumpet shape.
“I’ve decided, I want to go to Tsinghua University too!”
I don’t know since when, she is no longer satisfied with the next time, from badminton to university, she wants to be with Xie Shi’an, standing by her side, watching the moonlight in the lotus pond in summer, and watching the white snow fall into the pond in winter.
Xie Shi’an couldn’t help but bend the corner of his lower lip.
“Hey, do you know how much work I put into preparing for the exam?”
Jian Changnian came over and tugged at her arm.
“Oh, I know you are good at math and English, teach me.”
“Come on, have you paid your tuition?”
“Our relationship is so good, you still care about this with me?” Jian Changnian yelled, picked up fallen leaves from the ground and threw them at her, Xie Shi’an threw them back not to be outdone.
“Brothers have to settle accounts.”
She thought that Jian Changnian was just a whim, but she didn’t expect that after she went back, she would actually find someone to borrow her high school textbooks, and after training, she would take remedial classes.
The person who said “brothers will settle accounts clearly”, after seeing her messy homework, couldn’t help but snatched her test papers and became an after-school teacher.
“so troublesome.”
Xie Shi’an murmured while writing detailed steps for her to solve the problem on a piece of paper.
Since that day, Jian Changnian has also become a frequent visitor to the Tsinghua campus. She sometimes goes to attend classes with Xie Shi’an, and sometimes goes to the library with her to do some quizzes.
The alumni of Tsinghua University sometimes invite the two of them to play together. Xie Shi’an plays doubles, and she follows her against the opponent.
Xie Shi’an was playing singles, and she stood outside the court to bring her water.
If the weather is fine, Xie Shi’an will also sit on the lawn near Spring Garden, reading and basking in the sun. She will lean against the tree trunk, wear earphones, and do English listening.
The person who was exposed to the afternoon sun was lazy and drowsy. The book in Jian Changnian’s hand fell to the ground, and he tilted his head and leaned on her shoulder.
Time flies, and the Lunar New Year is approaching in the blink of an eye. The team has performed well this year, and the holiday has been extended from New Year’s Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the team members packed their bags and prepared to go home to visit relatives.
“Sister An, let’s go.”
“See you next year.”
Xie Shi’an stood in the corridor to say goodbye.
A teammate rushed out and shouted: “Coach Wan said, if you don’t come back during the Chinese New Year, let’s have dinner tonight, please eat well!”
Xie Shi’an was the one who never came back in previous years.
“Sister An, you…”
Before the teammate finished speaking, Jian Changnian jumped out of the room in her pajamas, with a toothbrush in her hand and foam on her chin.
“Sister An won’t go, she will come home with me!”
A roar of laughter erupted in the hallway.
Xie Shi’an raised his foot and kicked over.
“I know you still don’t pack up faster.”
Xie Shi’an went home with her again to celebrate the New Year. Grandma Jian still treated her kindly, holding her hand with red eyes to ask for warmth, and doing whatever she wanted to eat, which caused Jian Chang to read countless times. Bai Yan: “She is the granddaughter who is the co-author, did I pick it up?”
The next day after returning home was New Year’s Eve, the two of them left home early in the morning to visit Yan Xinyuan’s grave.
Jian Changnian took out two bottles of Moutai from his bag, as well as the cigarettes he often smoked, and put them in front of the tombstone.
Xie Shi’an gently leaned against the side with the flowers in his hand, Jian Changnian took a step back and bowed deeply with her.
The wind blows over the pines and cypresses, and thousands of miles are evergreen.
In the brazier in front of the tombstone, burning are the newspapers containing their glorious deeds of winning the championship.
The old man in the photo looked majestic but kind, with a smile on his lips, watching them quietly, as always.
Xie Shi’an’s eyes were slightly red.
Coach Yan, have you seen it? Back then you said that Chang Nian and I would be the future twin stars of badminton in the world, and now the twin stars are standing in front of you.
A gust of wind blows, the candles flicker and crackle.
Legend has it that the heavenly people heard the missing of their loved ones.
