The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine - Chapter 124
Everyone knows what happened later. Xie Shi’an played with an injury. In the doubles final, she lost 1:2 to Kim Nam-ji and Cui Huixi. record.
When that lore landed, she even heard the abnormal sound of bones coming from her knees.
A sharp pain instantly flooded her from head to toe.
Xie Shi’an’s eyes went dark, the racket in his hand fell to the ground, and he didn’t know anything about what happened next.
When she woke up, everything was settled.
In that Rio Olympic Games, the Chinese badminton team did not win a gold medal. Unfortunately, the women’s doubles won the silver medal. Xie Shi’an was too injured to continue the competition. Due to her absence, Jian Changnian automatically entered the competition according to the order of points ranking In the singles final, they lost to Anton and Kim Namji one after another, and only won a bronze medal.
Not to mention the team competition, the seed player Gao Jian of the men’s team was taken away by the IBF and the Olympic Organizing Committee for joint investigation before the match. Final Four.
After all the games were over, the national team also suspended all of Jian Changnian’s training and investigated her.
In the conference room, she was sitting alone on one side, and the opposite side was full of people, and her mobile phone was thrown in front of her.
“Look at what this is?! If Gao Jian has a problem, you won’t tell your coach or the leader? If you have to make a fuss outside, do you know what it means to be a family ugliness?!”
The video on the phone is still playing.
She held up her ID card and said word by word, sonorously: “I, Jian Changnian, an active member of the women’s badminton national team, reported the men’s team Gao Jian in real name, for passively playing in the Sudirman Cup, playing match-fixing, and harming the national honor. And having an improper relationship with the Korean team Choi Hye Hee, and collaborating with her to frame teammates…”
“What I said above is all recorded and video evidenced, and I am willing to take legal responsibility for every word I say.”
Once her video was released, it caused an uproar in the media all over the world, and the popularity has remained high.
That’s why the IBF moves so fast.
Jian Changnian sat here with her eyes downcast, without saying a word.
The national team leaders are still chattering.
“You told us that the internal discussion will definitely choose to suspend him. Now it’s a good thing. I didn’t win a gold medal this year, and it has become a joke in the world of badminton.”
“Why are you so selfish, why can’t you think about it for our group?”
Jian Changnian lazily raised her eyelids, and smiled, “How long do you plan to suspend him? Three months? Half a year?”
The leaders of the national team looked at each other: “This…”
Before she finished speaking, she stood up quickly, dropped the teacup in her hand, her eyes were red.
“But my Shi’an didn’t do anything, but it’s equivalent to being suspended for a lifetime!”
There was a long silence in the conference room.
Wan Jing took off his glasses and squeezed Qingming acupoint.
“Let me tell you, as long as Gao Jian is still in the national team for one day, this matter will not be over. No matter if you suspend me, punish me, or even fire me, I will seek justice for Shi’an!”
A leader stood up aggressively: “Jian Changnian, are you crazy, figure out your own identity! You and Xie Shi’an haven’t found out what happened to you yet, so you’re just rushing us to fire you, don’t I thought it would be great if you won a bronze medal!”
The corner of Jian Changnian’s lips twitched, showing a sneer: “Then you can fire me.”
Anyway, it’s already like this.
She just likes Xie Shi’an, and she likes it hopelessly.
“You—” The leader almost fell back, seeing her trembling fingers, speechless with anger, so he pointed the finger at Wan Jing again.
“Old Wan, you should say something, this is the person under your command! Old Wan…”
When Wan Jing slapped the table, his eyes were bloodshot.
“Get out, get out!”
After everyone left, he let himself lean back on the chair, looked at the ceiling, his eyes were red.
Brother, of your two apprentices, one looks docile, but in fact is full of rebelliousness in his bones. Back then, he dared to challenge the leaders of the national team because of you. Worse than a wolf.
You entrusted them to me. I can’t bear to see Shi’an lying on the hospital bed, not to mention playing ball, and even having trouble walking. Teach me, how to do it?
***
“Doctor, is she feeling better today?”
Jian Changnian came out of the apartment and went straight to the hospital.
“It’s still the same, we have to do surgery as soon as possible.”
“Then can I go in and see her?”
“Patients need to rest, and no one’s visits are allowed.”
Jian Changnian knew that it was Xie Shi’an who didn’t want to see her, so he gave the doctor all the flowers and nutritional supplements in his hand.
“Then please help me bring it to her. Just say…it was given to her by her teammates. Please take the medicine on time and cooperate with the treatment so that she can recover soon.”
Xie Shi’an listened inside, turned his head away, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
She was seriously injured, her right leg was fractured, her meniscus was completely torn, and her cruciate ligament was also broken. It’s time to return.
On the day of departure, I don’t know who leaked the news, and the airport was crowded with people.
The video Jian Changnian successfully pulled Gao Jian off the horse, but it also led to more speculation about their relationship.
Someone picked up their experiences in detail, and found that they have been teammates since the Binhai Provincial Team, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. After going through hardships, they finally met at the top.
Someone uploaded the video of each of their games frame by frame. Not only did they cooperate tacitly, but even their eyes expressed love.
Xie Shi’an protected her in front of the media interview camera.
At the post-match press conference, Jian Changnian looked at her partner with sparkling eyes: “Xie Shi’an, like grandma, is the most important person in my life.”
They went to the playground on Valentine’s Day.
Xie Shi’an came back holding flowers.
Some netizens photographed them going home together during the Chinese New Year at the airport.
Kissing at a concert.
In and out of the hotel together.
In the Olympic Games held every four years, the highest stage in the world, Jian Changnian was willing to abstain in order to allow Xie Shi’an to advance to the final.
Alumni of Tsinghua University jumped out and said.
“Jian Changnian, she comes to the school almost every week to look for senior sister Xie Shi’an. When the senior sister is playing ball, she cheers her up and delivers water. I often see them studying together in the library, senior sister. She still gave her lectures tirelessly, and the two were inseparable, sticking together wherever they went.”
The male employee of the 4S store also posted on the Internet.
“I have a real hammer! Jian Changnian and Xie Shi’an are a **** couple. When Xie Shi’an came to our store to buy a car, he asked Jian Changnian what he likes. Finally, according to her opinion, he chose a car for a price of 100 yuan. The Mercedes-Benz that came to Wanwan, this is not a gift, what is this! My colleague didn’t know she was Xie Shi’an at first, but finally found out after looking at the ID card, don’t believe it? Don’t believe me, there is also a photo of her autograph here, take a look Just know.”
The rumors intensified, both true and false, and even the parties involved looked at the photos and videos on the Internet, and had the illusion that they had talked with each other in a trance.
Xie Shi’an was sitting in a wheelchair. As soon as he was pushed out of the car, the reporters rushed over.
“Contestant Xie Shi’an, please respond to the rumors about your relationship with Contestant Jian Changnian!”
“A netizen took a picture of you both appearing at Jay Chou’s concert not long ago and interacting intimately. Do you have any explanation for this?”
“Not only that, but you and contestant Jian Changnian also went in and out of the hotel late at night together. Are you really a same-sex couple?”
“So, is this the reason why Jian Changnian was willing to abstain in the quarter-finals?”
Wan Jing pushed her, and the airport security personnel opened the way ahead, but there was still a steady stream of people pushing over.
They picked up their mobile phones and aimed at her face. The smiles on her face were either excited or curious, playful or contemptuous.
All kinds of people, all kinds of eyes.
Fanatical fans broke through the line of defense, rushed over and shouted: “Xie Shi’an, you have been able to play with injuries in the past and win the championship, why can’t you this time?!”
“Since your debut, do you know how many years I have been waiting for your Grand Slam?!”
“Did you forget that you said in the interview that you want to win the Grand Slam for Coach Yan? Why, why, why didn’t you participate in the next competitions this time? I’m so disappointed in you!”
“Because of you, the Chinese team didn’t have a single gold medal this year, don’t you feel ashamed?!”
“If you can’t do it, retire early. Don’t delay Jian Changnian. If you hadn’t influenced her mentality, how could she have lost to An Dong and Jin Nanzhi?”
…
After the death of Coach Yan, she also experienced such things. She was blocked at the gate of the community for questioning, glue was poured into the lock cylinder, she was knocked on the door in the middle of the night, and her black and white photos were posted in the corridor. It’s foul language, and these pictures are like a movie, circling in my mind.
She thought she had fully recovered after a long period of psychotherapy.
But now that familiar feeling came again.
As their mouths opened and closed, Xie Shi’an gradually became unable to hear clearly, his tinnitus rang, his vision became blurred, and his chest felt tight, as if he was drowning, and he couldn’t breathe.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes were flushed, she was panting heavily, and suddenly covered her ears with her hands, resisting the voices from all over the world.
The security guards opened the way ahead, and Wan Jing was also afraid that someone would rush over and hurt her, so he stood in front.
“Xie Shi’an, you gay, go to hell!”
The cold light flashed past.
A figure rushed towards Xie Shi’an diagonally, holding a utility knife in his hand, and went straight to Xie Shi’an.
Wan Jing’s pupils shrank, he was entangled by someone, unable to get away, at the very moment, a familiar figure rushed forward and blocked her with his body.
Blood, warm blood spattered her face.
There was a scream from the crowd.
Xie Shi’an was stunned for a second or two before realizing what happened. Jian Changnian’s snow-white shirt was soaked in blood.
She smiled weakly, her face pale.
“Are you OK?”
The murderer was quickly subdued and taken away by everyone. Jian Changnian was also carried into the ambulance in front of her eyes. When the vehicle was about to drive away, she woke up like a dream.
“Chang Nian, Chang Nian…” She stretched her arms to reach, wanted to stand up and chase after, but suddenly fell to the ground, clenched her fists, and shed tears helplessly.
Wan Jing sent Jian Changnian to the ambulance, and when he saw her, he rushed over and supported her.
“Shi’an, Shi’an, are you okay?!”
Xie Shi’an seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, tightly clutching his arm: “Coach Wan, miss her…she…”
“She’s fine, but the shoulder was cut by a blade, and she has been sent to the hospital for treatment.”
“How come…she bled a lot…a lot…blood…I…I’m going to…hospital…”
Xie Shi’an spoke incoherently, pushed his hand away, and was about to stand up, but his knees gave way and he fell to the ground.
Wan Jing grabbed her quickly with his hands and eyes, grabbed her shoulders, and with red eyes, he yelled in a more emphatic tone.
“Xie Shi’an, she’s fine! It’s just that the blade is very sharp, so she bleeds a lot. If you continue to torment like this, you will be the one to have the accident!”
Xie Shi’an’s eyes lost focus from bewilderment, and then fixed on his face again.
Wan Jing knew that she was “alive”, helped her to the wheelchair again, and was about to send her to the boarding gate, but Xie Shi’an suddenly turned his head and said.
“I…I want to make sure she’s okay before leaving.”
***
Knowing that she had an accident, her teammates also ran over and gathered in front of the hospital bed. Jian Changnian’s shoulder had just been bandaged, and she could only wear half of her clothes.
“What did you think at the time that you blocked the knife with your bare hands, but luckily your left shoulder was injured, and your right hand was injured, so you will not be able to play in the future?”
Facing the complaints from her teammates, she just laughed.
“I can’t take care of it, I haven’t thought about it that much.”
“Don’t we leave tomorrow? Why did you run to the airport today?”
When a teammate asked, Lu Xiaoting suddenly became sad when she saw Jian Changnian’s expression, and gave the speaker an elbow.
“Why ask so many questions, as long as people have nothing to do.”
“How about Miss An, are you okay?”
Jian Changnian looked around the room, her teammates were all here, but one person was missing, she smiled again.
“It’s okay…should…go back home.”
Xie Shi’an looked at her deeply through the crack of the door, watching her face and every move, Wan Jing urged.
“Let’s go, your operation can’t be delayed any longer, read here often, I will arrange someone to take care of you, don’t worry.”
Xie Shi’an moved his lips, looked away, and finally turned the wheelchair slowly, turned and left.
Back in Beijing, the doctor was helpless in the face of her injury, Xie Shi’an looked at their expressions.
“Doctor…can I still play?”
It was the same old professor from last time. He couldn’t bear it and thought about his words: “If you don’t change the artificial knee, it’s hard to say whether you can stand up in the future, even if you change it…”
Xie Shi’an didn’t want to listen any more, and asked urgently: “If it’s changed, there is still a glimmer of hope, right?”
All the experts and professors present looked at each other.
“We can’t guarantee this for you. We can only say that it depends on how your recovery is going.”
Xie Shi’an didn’t hesitate at all: “Then I’ll do it, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope to return to the game, I will give it a try.”
Back in the ward, Mama Xie called, her tone was rather anxious: “Have you returned to China? How is the injury? When will you have surgery? Mama will go to Beijing to accompany you?”
Xie Shi’an slightly bent the corner of his lips.
“No, I’m really fine, minor surgery, I have a coach here, you’re here, what should Yoyo do when she’s alone at home.”
“Why is it a minor operation? The media doesn’t always say…”
“You listen to the media, or listen to me.”
Xie’s mother paused for a moment: “Since I saw you injured on TV, my mother has been unable to eat and sleep well these days. Hearing you say that, I put half of my heart in my stomach. I must listen to the doctor’s words. Take medicine, take medicine, rest when you should, you are still young, don’t fall into any root cause.”
“Yes, I see.” Xie Shi’an responded lightly.
Xie’s mother suddenly said: “Shi’an, there is something that my mother has never asked you. You and Chang Nian…”
When Jian Changnian was mentioned, her heart was tightened immediately, and her voice returned to its usual coldness.
“If you have nothing to do, I’ll hang up first.”
After all, without waiting for a reply, he hung up the phone.
Listening to the beep on the receiver, Mother Xie sighed and put the phone back.
The man on the side muttered: “Look, what I said, she designated that! I also brought people back during the Chinese New Year, and I saw it at that time. The two girls are flirting with each other. Let me tell you what they look like.” , you don’t go to Beijing, and don’t let people come back during the Chinese New Year, and you will ruin Yoyo later!”
Xie’s mother’s eyes were red: “Can you say a few words less?! The most important thing now is the child’s injury…”
After hanging up the phone, the message bar on the phone popped up again.
Zhou Mu: “Shi’an, have you returned to China? Which hospital are you in? I just happened to be filming in Beijing and wanted to visit you.”
Lu Xiaoting: “Sister An, Chang Nian’s injury is nothing serious, I’m here with her, don’t worry.”
Cao Rui: “Isn’t it? You and Jian Chang read the truth…?”
Followed by a mouth covering emoji.
Coach Liang: “Shi’an, come back and rest when you’re tired, the Binhai provincial team will always be your home.”
Scrolling down the missed calls, several of them were from grandma.
Grandma is illiterate and illiterate, and she and Jian Changnian taught her how to use the landline for a long time before she learned it.
Faced with the concern of his friends and elders, Xie Shi’an’s eyes were red, and he raised his head, forcing back the tears with difficulty. He wanted to tell them that they were safe, but accidentally clicked on the social platform.
The names she and Jian Chang read are still on the hot search list.
“Why didn’t Jian Changnian be stabbed to death with that knife? It’s a pity. If you want me to say, homosexuality deserves to die.”
“It’s not easy for boys to find a partner, and girls have to digest it internally. I used to be Xie Shi’an’s fan, but now I’m disgusting with her. I’m selling the peripherals at a low price, thank you.”
“Gays get out of the badminton world.”
“Can you pair/fly? After all, they still look good.”
“I don’t feel much about Xie Shi’an’s homosexual status. I just think that if she can’t fight, she should retire quickly, and don’t occupy the latrine.”
“Isn’t the national team prohibiting dating within the team? I’m afraid that something like that will happen in the Olympics. Because Xie Shi’an is alone, all events will be wiped out. I don’t want to see her again.”
“I heard that Gao Jian was arrested? Guo Yu’s big show, dog eats dog, isn’t it more exciting than Gong Dou?”
“Jane often thinks not to be too impulsive, maybe the Olympic champion has long been hers.”
…
After turning it on for a short while, the phone kept vibrating, and a steady stream of messages flooded over and filled the private mailbox.
Xie Shi’an gritted his teeth, his hands began to tremble.
Wan Jing opened the door and came in, saw that she was holding the mobile phone, with a strange look on her face, and snatched it from her hand.
“Didn’t I tell you not to look at your phone for a few days?”
As if being pulled out of a dream, Xie Shi’an came back to his senses and forced a smile.
“I…my mother called just now.”
Wan Jing dragged a chair beside the bed and sat down.
“Is she coming to Beijing?”
Xie Shi’an shook his head: “No, if she comes to Beijing, there will be no one to take care of her children.”
That being said, she must have kept people from coming. For so many years, she has always had this personality, and her uncle doesn’t treat her very much. Although she is better now, she is just keeping with them. Treat each other with respect.
Wan Jing felt sorry for her: “You still need your family to accompany you for such a major operation…”
Xie Shi’an interrupted him.
“I can do it alone.”
“Then I’m here…”
“Go back and rest too, you’ve been busy these days.”
“Shi’an…” Wan Jing moved his lips, wanting to persuade him again.
Xie Shi’an remembered another thing, raised his head and said, “Coach Wan, Chang Nian and I… let’s break up.”
Rather than waiting for the team to notify her, it is better for her to take the initiative to make this decision. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain.
Wan Jing was silent for a while.
“Have you considered?”
A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Xie Shi’an’s lips, but his eyes slowly turned red.
“As I am now, I don’t know when I will be able to return to the arena, so I won’t drag her down. Moreover, as you can see, with me on the arena, she will get angry.”
“What happened at the airport last time, I don’t want it to happen again, for her sake, and for the performance of our national team… or… don’t play together.”
Wan Jing felt uncomfortable seeing her like this.
Xie Shi’an was entrusted to him by Yan Xinyuan halfway, and he had never taught her anything. When he first met him, he felt that although this child was a good seed, he was rebellious and difficult to become a great talent. Later, he was gradually convinced by her. Yes, I know that she is really rock-solid, tenacious and unyielding, and she values badminton more than her life. In the past few years of fighting side by side, he has already regarded her as his apprentice, and even has higher expectations for her than Yin Jiayi .
He had thought about letting Xie Shi’an take over his shift when he couldn’t beat him anymore and didn’t want to beat him anymore.
But fate tricks people.
The people he valued, whether Yin Jiayi or Xie Shi’an, seemed to be taking different paths, but in fact they were all walking the same path.
This tells him how not to sigh, feel emotional, or feel uncomfortable.
In the setting sun, the white hair on his sideburns became more dazzling. Sitting here for a long time, his back was projected on the wall, like a silent statue.
“Actually, I am the same as Lao Yan. I want you to play well together, to be the twin stars of the world badminton world, and to fulfill the dream that neither he nor I have been able to achieve.”
“But, life… is life!”
As he spoke, he buried his face in his palms and shrugged his shoulders.
Xie Shi’an burst into tears.
“I’m sorry for you, and I’m even more sorry for Coach Yan.”
It was half a month before Jian Changnian recovered from her injury and returned to China. When she excitedly wanted to run to find Xie Shi’an, what she was waiting for was a notice from the team.
The combination of her and Xie Shi’an was disbanded, and she will no longer participate in any competitions as a partner in the future. The team will find other suitable candidates for her.
She was puzzled, and ran to the office to question Wan Jing.
“Why?! Didn’t you play well? Why did you disband us?! This must be the meaning of the leaders in the team, right? Isn’t it just to show them off? If you are dissatisfied with me, just call me Come…”
Wan Jing’s signing hand paused for a while, but he didn’t lift his head.
“This is what Shi’an means.”
Jian Changnian froze in place, and became excited again after a while: “How come…you must have forced her, right? She said that she would not form a doubles partner with anyone but me, so I’m going to ask her Make it clear!”
Wan Jing dropped the pen in his hand and stood up.
“Can you calm down a bit?! Gao Jian has already been expelled and went to prison! The entire national team, up and down, didn’t question you and Shi’an about the little **** that happened, isn’t it enough? ?!”
“Do you really think we won’t punish you?!”
“That’s it, let’s get out.”
Wan Jing sat down again and said impatiently.
Jian Changnian bit her lip, tears welled up in her eyes, and finally turned around and ran out without saying anything.
