The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine - Chapter 116
After grandma returned, it was not long before the start of the World Championships. Jian Chang was studying for the exam in June. She was preparing for the exam at the same time. Under the double pressure, her life was extremely busy.
I get up at 4:30 in the morning and go downstairs to run. I listen to English listening while running. After the morning run, I go back to the dormitory to take a shower. After memorizing vocabulary, it’s time to have breakfast. After breakfast, it’s time for training. The training before the competition is Very high-intensity, and often have to practice until the end of the night.
After a day of training was finally over, I dragged my tired body back to the dormitory, and I had to cheer up to do the questions.
Fortunately, Xie Shi’an also took a long vacation with the school and devoted himself to the training. During this period, he lived in the dormitory. If there is anything she doesn’t know, you can ask her.
Under the dim desk lamp, her head was shaking little by little.
Xie Shi’an looked at the black circles under her eyes.
“Actually, there is no need to be so anxious. There is still time to take the exam next year, or… to take another exam. There are still many good universities.”
Hearing her voice, Jian Changnian woke up with a start, sat up straight again, and rubbed her eyes.
“Next year and next year, when will I take the exam? Besides, I don’t want to go to another university, I just want to be with you…”
As she spoke, remembering that there were other people in Xie Shi’an’s dormitory, she looked back in a strange way, and Lu Xiaoting snored like thunder.
Only then did Jian Changnian heave a sigh of relief, and muttered softly.
“Take a test with you.”
A smile appeared in Xie Shi’an’s eyes, and he tapped her on the head with a pen: “Then hurry up and write. I have dark circles under my eyes just to accompany you. Is it your exam or mine?”
“I get it, I get it, you accompany me to do my homework, and I’ll accompany you to play basketball, two and two are equal, and it’s a write-off!”
On the court, they are partners who advance and retreat together, and in life, they are close friends, working together towards a common goal. Perhaps this is the most beautiful appearance of youth.
In that year’s World Championships, Jian Changnian, who had accumulated a lot of knowledge, began to show his talents in his singles events.
On the day of the start of the game, the Jakarta Stadium was full of people and every seat was full.
Commentary A: “In this year’s World Championships, I would rather watch the singles game than the doubles game.”
Commentary B: “How to say?”
Commentary A: “Everyone knows that next year’s Rio Olympics, only the top 16 players in the world are eligible to participate in singles. Needless to say, Xie Shi’an is currently ranked second in the world, and the second is because of Yin Jiayi The points have not been cleared.”
Commentary B: “I came here yesterday or the day before yesterday. I checked the official website of the International Badminton Federation. Jian Changnian is currently ranked 17th in singles. This position is really embarrassing.”
Commentary A sang with him.
“The difference between 16, 17 and 18 points is actually not that big, which means that she must get a better ranking in the World Championships in order to get a ticket for the Rio Olympics next year.”
Jian Changnian had calculated this better ranking in private, at least the top three, points are enough, because other contestants also have the possibility of extraordinary performance, in case they enter the finals, she can’t stand on one foot Step on the edge of this cliff on the 16th.
But in the World Championships, the world’s masters compete in the same field, let alone others, it is not easy to grab a piece of meat from the mouths of Xie Shi’an, Jin Nanzhi, and An Dong.
The radio in the locker room blared.
“The next match will be between Jian Changnian of the Chinese team and Natiya of Thailand. We invite athletes from both sides to enter the field.”
A few walls away, the cheers outside could also be heard.
The tense atmosphere of the game is overwhelming.
Jian Changnian opened the cabinet, took a look at Yan Xinyuan’s photo, put it in again, took a deep breath, and closed the cabinet door.
Coach Yan, please, bless me.
“Let us congratulate Jian Changnian for winning her first victory and breaking into the top 48 women’s singles!”
“Xie Shi’an won again! Congratulations to her for being the first in the group and advancing to the top 32 women’s singles!”
“Jin Nanzhi reversed India’s Rila 2-1 and successfully won the last seat in the top 16 of the women’s singles!”
“Jian Changnian, come on! Come on! The last backhand rubbing the net, beautiful!”
“As Jian Changnian defeated her teammate Lu Xiaoting 2-0, the women’s singles quarterfinals of this year’s World Championships have all been born. She will face Canadian star Anton in tomorrow’s game. Whether she can break into the semifinals depends on Watch this crucial battle.”
She played very hard in the top 4 battle. This is the first time she has played against Anton. Although she also heard some of Anton’s common styles of play and weaknesses from Xie Shi’an before the match, theory and practice are two different things after all. .
For so many years, Anton’s position in the world badminton world has been standing firm, and he still has some real skills.
She regrettably lost the first game 17-21.
Jian Changnian, who returned to the field, sat aside and silently wiped his sweat with a towel, and was caught off guard by someone bumping his elbow.
She raised her head. Xie Shi’an, who had finished the game, hadn’t left yet. He held a bottle of water in his hand and handed it to her with his arms outstretched.
“Here, here you are.”
Jian Changnian was startled, took the water in her hand, bent the corners of her lips, and smiled knowingly.
Eagle-eyed viewers filmed the scene and started screaming.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh the security check is either real or I’m fake!”
“Come on, Jian Changnian, Xie Shi’an has already won a game next door, it’s up to you next time!”
“Our Gemini will also meet at the summit!”
“The best security check, we must stand on the podium together!”
…
In that match, Jian Changnian finally lived up to expectations and made a comeback when he fell behind by one game.
When he saw the scoreboard light up, the boy raised his arms and cried out, tears filled his eyes, and the audience roared like a tsunami.
“we won!”
“Jian Changnian won!”
There was also a smile in the voice of the commentator.
“Let’s congratulate Jian Changnian for defeating Anton 2-1 and making it to the semi-finals. She will face German player Brita in tomorrow’s game, and Xie Shi’an and Jin Nanzhi will also compete for the only overall winner in Group A tomorrow.” final spot.”
“Let us look forward to seeing the twin stars in the finals, at the top!”
The wish buried in the bottom of my heart many years ago finally saw a glimmer of light. After learning that his opponent in the finals might be Xie Shi’an, Jian Changnian was so excited that he didn’t sleep well for two days.
It was late at night, and she was still doing weight training in the training room.
After Xie Shi’an and his teammates finished a training match, they returned to the sidelines to rest, wiping their sweat with a towel.
Wan Jing handed him a bottle of water.
“Tomorrow’s game against Jin Nanzhi still has to be done according to our capabilities.”
Xie Shi’an knew what he was worried about and smiled.
“It shouldn’t be a problem for Chang Nian to beat Brita, but if I don’t push Jin Nanzhi down, she will meet her in the finals.”
In the past few years in the national team, she broke the record of the highest winning percentage in foreign games held by Yin Jiayi. This is how Jin Nanzhi’s nickname “Casher” came from, but Chang Nian never beat her in international competitions.
“I see, Chang Nian beats both of you up enough.”
Xie Shi’an watched her lift the dumbbells on the field, with deep meaning in his eyes.
“That’s different. I also want to meet her for a while.”
On the day of the finals, even the outside of the stadium was packed with people.
The audience held banners and cheering objects.
“Xie Shi’an, the surface is the strongest!”
“Jian Changnian, the brave are fearless!”
“Security inspection team, it’s time to decide the status of the family.”
…
The faces of the two people were shown on the big screen. Amidst the cheers, they lightly bumped their fists across the net.
Jian Changnian’s eyes sparkled, and he was eager to try.
“I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.”
Xie Shi’an pulled the corner of his lower lip contemptuously, determined to win.
“Don’t cry when you lose.”
The white shuttlecock was thrown into the sky.
A peak duel officially kicked off.
“What does Teacher Jiang think of today’s game?”
Still a familiar partner in the studio.
Jiang Yunli smiled.
“Teachers come from the same school and are partners. The two of them are like a mirror. It is no exaggeration to say that they beat themselves.”
Xie Shi’an knows, and Jian Changnian knows where Jian Changnian will hit the ball, Xie Shi’an knows very well in his heart.
However, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and the racket held in her right hand was retracted a little bit.
A white meteor falls to the ground and the scoreboard lights up.
21-17
Jian Changnian went to the next game first.
Jian Changnian, who won the game, was almost dancing, and her teammates also squeezed her shoulders and beat her legs one after another to cheer her up.
“Chang Nian, come on, **** her!”
“That’s right, win the game in one go!”
“Whether you can break the myth of sister An’s invincibility depends on you!”
It seems that the world has been suffering “Xie Shi’an” for a long time.
Jian Changnian nodded emphatically.
“Don’t worry, you must live up to the expectations of your comrades.”
However, at the beginning of the second round, she was stunned by Xie Shi’an. She used fast breaks and quick kills to score consecutive points, which completely disrupted Jian Changnian’s offensive rhythm, and ended the battle in a flash.
Wan Jing hated that iron cannot be made into steel.
“Come on, let’s be careless. I told you that He Shi’an must not take it lightly.”
Jiang Yunli also praised sincerely: “Xie Shi’an’s ability to seize opportunities is very strong. Once she catches a mistake, she won’t give her opponent a chance to breathe. Jian Changnian will make adjustments in the next round.”
The person who was still full of ambition just now felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured down his head. Jian Changnian looked at Xie Shi’an who was sitting drinking water and resting, gritted his teeth and nodded.
“I see, Coach Wan, I will go all out for the next game.”
tiebreaker.
Xie Shi’an, who noticed that she was getting serious, also summoned up all his energy to deal with the enemy.
The idea that I want to win has never been so clear in Jian Changnian’s mind. Those days and nights of working hard behind her are just for this moment.
The teenager swung his racket vigorously.
Xie Shi’an took a few steps back and jumped up high to catch the ball.
The white meteor fell to the ground.
The audience whispered.
“Who won? Who won, I didn’t see clearly.”
After the live video was replayed, Xie Shi’an’s pass ball fell into bounds, and the scoreboard lit up.
21:19
She won.
Jian Chang wanted to put down the racket, feeling a little regretful, her eyes were red, but she still lifted the net and walked over.
Xie Shi’an stood on the spot and opened his arms.
The two world champions embraced each other on the field.
The audience applauded thunderously.
Time is fixed at this moment.
This photo also hit the headlines of the media and was widely disseminated around the world. Even the IBF official praised it when it was forwarded: “The best opponent is also the best friend.”
At the regular press conference after the game, some reporters asked questions.
“The security inspection team is very popular with CP recently. I would like to ask player Jian Changnian, what kind of existence is player Xie Shi’an to you?”
Jian Changnian was silent for a while, Xie Shi’an thought she was in trouble, cleared his throat, and was about to take the microphone.
Jian Changnian lowered her head, looked at her into the microphone, and said solemnly and firmly.
“Contestant Xie Shi’an and grandma are the most important people in my life.”
The person sitting next to her lowered her head, bent the corners of her lips unconsciously, and secretly smiled.
The reporters turned their attention to Xie Shi’an again.
“What about Xie Shi’an, we all know that you are still single, and fans are also very concerned about your emotional status, when do you plan to get married, or what are your criteria for choosing a mate?”
Xie Shi’an regained his seriousness, dialed the phone lightly, and asked back.
“Are you a gossip reporter? You wouldn’t ask a champion male athlete such a question, so you don’t need to ask me.”
Jian Changnian looked at her with glowing eyes, and gave her a thumbs up under the table.
After the press conference, the domestic media also reported their glorious deeds of winning the championship with a large space and high profile.
“Guoyu Gemini World Championships shined brilliantly, Xie Shi’an won the gold, Jian Changnian won the silver, while the South Korean team achieved the worst result in history, only Jin Nanzhi won a singles bronze medal”
Jian Changnian put away the newspaper and put it together with the trophy. This is the good news to bring to Coach Yan when she returns home at the end of the year.
But in life, there are joys and sorrows. She worked so hard to study at night for three months. After the test results came out, she still failed the exam, and there was still a big gap between the admission scores. Jian Changnian looked at the computer screen, mourning lowered his head.
“Ah, it seems hopeless.”
Xie Shi’an bumped into her shoulder.
“Hey, you’ve only been preparing for the exam for a few months now. It’s not bad to have the current score. You really think of yourself as a child prodigy.”
Jian Changnian also knows that it is a bit whimsical to want to make up for the courses that others take three years to complete in a few months, and she can’t miss the training, but she is only depressed for a while, and then stretched again , smiled brightly.
“Although it’s a bit regrettable, it’s finally over for the time being. Tomorrow’s vacation, Lu Xiaoting said to go camping in the suburbs to escape the summer heat, Shi’an, you can go too!”
Xie Shi’an shook his head.
“I won’t go, I have to go to the hospital for physical treatment tomorrow.”
After she came back from the World Championships, her knee injury broke out from time to time. In order to adjust to the best condition before the Rio Olympics next year, she made an appointment with the hospital and went to physical therapy every Saturday.
Jian Changnian patted her head, remembering this.
“That’s right, tomorrow is Saturday, then I’ll tell Lu Xiaoting that I won’t go anymore, and I’ll accompany you to the hospital.”
“Come on, don’t you have an appointment with someone?”
Counting the time, she was preparing for both the battle and the exam, and she hadn’t gone out to play for nearly half a year.
“But…” Jian Changnian bit her lip.
“I’m not you, so I don’t need someone to accompany me when I go to a hospital. Besides, there must be many people and noisy people when you go out to play. My head hurts.”
What she said was trying to make her dare not enter the examination room alone that time. Jian Changnian was so angry that she was about to tickle her. Xie Shi’an didn’t give her a chance at all and ran out in a flash. She locked the door before rushing out.
On Saturday evening, Xie Shi’an came back from the hospital with medicine and ran into Jian Changnian downstairs in the apartment. She and Lu Xiaoting had just got off the boy’s car. She was stunned for a moment, but Jian Changnian turned her head and saw She, say hello to her first.
“Shi’an, you came back from the hospital? I called you, why didn’t you answer it?”
“It’s not convenient to look at your phone when you’re doing physical therapy.”
The boy also came over to say hello to her.
“Miss An.”
Xie Shi’an nodded slightly, and seemed to have an impression of his face, but he really couldn’t remember his name.
Seeing this, the boy hurriedly introduced himself.
“My name is Gao Jian, the one I played with you last time.”
Xie Shi’an remembered that she and Jian Changnian were playing men’s doubles together.
Rather than having an impression of him, it would be better to say that he wanted Jane Chang to read his phone number after the game.
Lu Xiaoting also laughed.
“Gao Jian is also a brother I met when I was in the Beijing team. He happened to have a car, so we went camping together. It’s a pity that you didn’t go today, Sister An, but it was fun. We caught a lot of fish and came back. Burn the cafeteria for us.”
Xie Shi’an turned and left with a calm expression on his face.
“You guys eat, I’m going back to the dormitory first.”
