The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine - Chapter 96
The teacher on the stage was lecturing, Jin Nanzhi set up the textbook, hid it behind the book and quietly sent a message to Yin Jiayi.
“Coach Park has come to Beijing.”
Yin Jiayi replied quickly: “?”
Jin Nanzhi glanced at the podium, saw that the teacher didn’t look at him, and quickly typed: “I said that get out of class is over early today and I wanted to have dinner with you, but now I can’t. I have to have dinner with my teammates. They will return to Korea tomorrow.”
training gap.
After Yin Jiayi finished playing a game, she went to the side to wipe her sweat with a towel, picked up her mobile phone from the chair in the rest area, and replied to her while standing.
“It’s okay, you go.”
Jin Nanzhi said again.
“After the exam, I have to go back to Korea immediately.”
“when is the exam?”
“The exam is over next Friday.”
Yin Jiayi checked the time on the upper left corner of the phone, at this point she should have not finished class yet.
“Hey, let’s study hard first, and we’ll talk about it when we meet this week.”
As soon as she sent this sentence, her teammates called her behind her.
“Captain Yin, have you rested yet? The next game will start soon.”
Yin Jiayi put down her phone and ran over.
“coming.”
“Who is Captain Yin chatting with? You are so absorbed in it that you didn’t hear it the first time.”
Yin Jiayi smiled.
“No, just a friend, let’s get started.”
Seeing her reply, Jin Nanzhi sighed unobtrusively, and stuffed the phone into his schoolbag.
She wants to go back to play, but she also doesn’t want to leave Yin Jiayi. Once they return to the game, they will no longer belong to each other. One is the soul of the Korean team, and the other is the mainstay of the Chinese team. Unfamiliar, even **** for tat on purpose, I don’t know how long this sneaky life will last.
Jin Nanzhi stared at the messy formulas on the whiteboard in front of the classroom, and for the first time felt powerless from the bottom of his heart.

Jian Changnian heard the sound, dragged her luggage and ran over, lifted Wangfu up, hugged it and kissed it again and again.
“Good Wangfu, it’s been a long time since I saw you, and I’ve grown up again.”
When Wangfu picked it up last year, it was so small and sick. They thought it would not survive, but Yan Xinyuan took him back and kept him in the office, and it survived. Gradually, it became a The mascot in the training base, everyone loves to **** when they have nothing to do.
Wangfu seemed to understand her words, writhed in her arms, licked her face frantically, covered her with saliva, and lifted him up again in disgust.
“Bah, bah, who did you learn from?”
Yan Xinyuan and Xie Shi’an also followed. As soon as Wangfu saw her, he jumped out of Jian Changnian’s arms, wagging his tail, turned around, and rubbed against her trouser legs.
Xie Shi’an reached out and touched Wangfu’s head, the little guy licked her palm, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Coach Liang looked at them and felt very relieved.
“It’s good when you come back, it’s good when you come back, let’s go, I let the cafeteria cook a big meal, I’ll wait for you to come back, and clean up the dust for you!”
When Yan Xinyuan heard about the big meal, he was also a little ready to move.
“Can’t you take two bites?”
“Go, go, come here, there is no head coach who takes the lead in drinking, don’t turn around and lead the children down!”
“Isn’t this happy! Besides, I haven’t—”
“Hiss, yourself…”
Coach Liang glanced back. The two of them were far away and should not be able to hear them, but they still lowered their voices.
“I don’t know what the condition of my body is! Let me tell you, get out of here and go to the hospital tomorrow!”
Xie Shi’an walked towards the dormitory building.
Jian Changnian waved and shouted at them from afar.
“Coach Yan, Coach Liang, let’s go back to the dormitory to put our things first, and then go to eat later.”
Pushing open the familiar dormitory door, Xie Shi’an was in a daze for a moment, Qiao Yuchu didn’t take anything away, the books on the desk, the doll on the chair, the racket hanging by the bed, even the bed was intact It was intact, as if turning around, she could still see her smiling and talking to her.
“Shi’an, you’re back.”
The sun was shining today, the windows were open in the dormitory, and fine dust was floating in the air. Xie Shi’an reached out and wiped the corners of his eyes.
Jian Changnian probed in.
“Shi’an, are you okay? It’s time to eat.”
Xie Shi’an put the bag on the bed and answered.
“coming.”
While eating in the cafeteria, Jian Changnian looked at her, hesitating to speak.
Xie Shi’an said in a bad mood.
“Is there a flower on my face?”
Although her expression was normal, Jian Changnian still remembered the scene of her standing alone in the dormitory for a long time, and said hesitantly.
“Do you… want to change the dormitory?”
Xie Shi’an was taken aback, and quickly put the food in his mouth.
“No, what’s the point of changing the dormitory, I’m too lazy to bother.”
“But…”
Jian Changnian looked at her with a hint of distress in her eyes.
Xie Shi’an understood what she meant, because he was afraid that he would be hurt.
She stopped and smiled wryly.
“She didn’t take anything with her, which means that there is nothing worthy of her nostalgia. If this is the case, why should I keep thinking that if I move the dormitory today, I will move tomorrow. Is it possible that every person she has ever appeared in place, do I have to avoid it?”
Even so, her eye circles were still red.
Jian Changnian gave her the chicken legs in his bowl.
“Then accompany me to the city after dinner.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I want to buy a cell phone.”
***
“How much is this one?”
“1999.”
“what about this?”
“1500.”
“It’s all very expensive.”
Jian Chang thought about it, but chose the cheapest old-fashioned flip phone, and the two of them went to the business hall to apply for a card.
Xie Shi’an said: “I decided to buy it anyway, why not buy a better one.”
Jian Changnian looked at her new mobile phone, turned it over and over again, and couldn’t put it down.
“I’m just making a phone call. By the way, Shi’an, how do I create a new contact?”
Xie Shi’an leaned over and took a look.
“Here, click the dial button on the right, and then slide down, there is a new contact, just enter the phone number.”
Jane Chang read her name and number key by key.
Xie Shi’an raised his eyebrows: “Yo, that’s right, I’m quite familiar with memorization.”
Jian Changnian smiled: “Of course, you, Coach Yan, and my home phone number, have already memorized them fluently!”
Xie Shi’an also took out his mobile phone.
“Then call me and I’ll save it.”
The phone rang, Xie Shi’an hung up, then pressed save, and typed word by word: “beans, sprouts, vegetables…”
Jian Chang’s seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he rushed over to **** her mobile phone.
“Xie Shi’an, I have a name!”
Xie Shi’an hid and ran out of the store. When Jian Changnian chased her out, she had already got into a post office across the street.
When she entered, Xie Shi’an had already filled out the form and handed an envelope to the staff at the counter.
“Hi, send it to the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau.”
On the way back for the two of them, Jian Changnian was still brooding.
“Xie Shi’an, change your name for me!”
Xie Shi’an wore headphones and walked with his hands in his pockets.
“Don’t change it, you are bean sprouts with me.”
Jian Changnian was so angry that she wanted to kick her.
“Xie Shi’an, you hate me to death!!”
***
In the next few days, Jian Changnian and Xie Shi’an spent a rare leisure time. After the game, they didn’t have to get up early to go to training. They just ran and played every day.
Jian Changnian also took time to go home to visit his grandmother, Yan Xinyuan was not in the training base, everyone thought he was also going home to rest, but they didn’t know that he was admitted to the cancer hospital the next day after he came back.
When the examination results came out, Coach Liang looked at the doctor expectantly.
“How about it?”
The doctor shook his head.
“The tumor markers still show no signs of abating.”
That means that the shadow in his lungs has not decreased. In other words, the results of chemotherapy are not as good as expected.
Coach Liang sat down on the chair with a gloomy expression.
Yan Xinyuan sat on the hospital bed and smiled wryly.
“It seems to be God’s will.”
***
Jian Changnian did not forget Zhou Mu’s entrustment, and planned to visit Cheng Zhen in prison the next day after returning from his hometown.
The two sat in the cafeteria and ate.
Jian Changnian: “I’ll go see Cheng Zhen in the afternoon, do you want to go?”
Xie Shi’an paused with chopsticks, and Jian Changnian saw her hesitation, knowing that she still couldn’t get over the hurdle in her heart.
“I think, Orange Juice…he shouldn’t blame you.”
“I’m stuffed.”
Xie Shi’an picked up the tableware and walked straight to the recycling place.
That being said, in the afternoon, Jian Changnian was packing up in the dormitory, and brought Cheng Zhen some simple toiletries, toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, etc. Xie Shi’an suddenly pushed the door open and handed her a CD.
“This is?” Jian Changnian looked down.
“I asked for Jay Chou’s out-of-print autographed album from Orange Juice. I don’t know if I can send it in. You…help me bring it to him.”
Jian Changnian was taken aback, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
“Tsk, some people say they don’t want to go, but secretly give away their favorite records.”
“Hiss…why are you talking so much?” Seeing that she didn’t answer for a long time, Xie Shi’an’s tone also showed a hint of impatience.
“Are you going to take it or not? I’ll regret it if I don’t.”
Jian Changnian snatched it away.
“Take, take, Cheng Zhen should be very happy to see this record.”
In the ward, after everyone left, Yan Xinyuan answered the phone.
“Brother, when are you going to bring Shi’an to Beijing for training with us? You have to get in and out before the game.”
Compared to the time at the World Championships, Wan Jing was more knowledgeable and took the initiative to invite him and Xie Shi’an to go to London together, and even bought him a plane ticket.
“Although I can’t accompany her to London to participate in the Olympic Games as the head coach, I have already told the above that the team agrees that you go with her in the name of the entourage. With you, I think Shi’an will feel more at ease. .”
Yan Xinyuan sat on the hospital bed.
“I won’t go to London, I have one thing to ask you.”
***
After finally making it to Friday, Jin Nanzhi called Yin Jiayi after class, but was hung up before he got through.
After a while, she sent a message.
“The training is not over yet, so it’s inconvenient to answer the phone.”
Jin Nanzhi typing.
“Then can you come over tonight?”
“It should be possible, but it will be later.”
Jin Nanzhi made an aggrieved expression.
“Okay, then I’ll go home and wait for you.”
Yin Jiayi returned three “hugs”.
The moment her luxury car drove out of the school gate, it was watched by someone, and a Land Rover parked on the side of the road followed quietly.
The person sitting in the co-pilot raised the camera in his hand, pointed it at the Ferrari in front, and snapped a few clicks, including the license plate number.
Jin Nanzhi returned to their apartment, put down his bag, pressed the light switch on the wall, and looked up, the room was still dark.
“Assi.”
She pressed it a few more times in disbelief, but the main light in the living room was still indifferent. She withdrew to look at the electric meter on the wall in the corridor.
If there is no trip, and the elevator is still running, it means that it is not a power outage, but the light at home is broken.
She originally wanted to call Yin Jiayi to say something, but then she thought that such a small matter would not bother her, so she called the property management to report for repairs.
Not long.
The administrator came up, wearing the uniform clothes of the apartment management staff, so she let him in without any suspicion.
“Here, the main light in the living room is broken.”
The staff turned off the switch, changed the shoe covers, built a ladder in the living room, climbed up, and fiddled with the maintenance tools in their hands.
Jin Nanzhi was holding his mobile phone to the light below, seeing that his hands and feet were a little slow, he urged him.
“Can you do it anyway? Why is the quality of the decoration so poor in such an expensive house? The light broke after I lived for a long time.”
The staff members were also sweating anxiously, and tilted their heads.
“Don’t worry, the filament inside this downlight is broken, I’ll take it out and install a new one for you, can you pass me that screwdriver?”
Jin Nanzhi glanced back. The screwdriver was on the table. She let go of the ladder and turned to get it.
The moment she turned around, the staff squeezed a small metal object smaller than a button into the light slot, and pressed firmly to make it stick firmly.
Jin Nanzhi turned around and handed him the screwdriver.
“Hurry up, what time is it?”
The staff looked normal and tightened the downlight tightly.
“Okay, ma’am, try turning on the light.”
***
When Jian Changnian and Xie Shi’an went to Beijing for their last training session, Yan Xinyuan also specially attended and watched them play from the sidelines.
Jian Changnian finished the round and returned to the rest area.
“Are you really not going with us?”
“London is so far away, and it’s not Shanghai. I still have a lot of work in my team, so I can’t leave.”
Hearing what he said, Jian Changnian felt a little downcast.
“Then don’t go to London, why not accompany us to Beijing.”
Xie Shi’an hit the ball and cast a concerned look in this direction.
Yan Xinyuan patted her on the shoulder.
“The entourage is limited, and I let you go to London with me because I think you can take care of each other in life, and the most important thing for you now is to accumulate experience in competitions, and you will know how to fight after watching more.”
Jian Changnian also knew that this quota was hard-won, and Wan Jing probably gave it to Yan Xinyuan because he was his senior brother. He not only asked her to go to London with Xie Shi’an, but even arranged her for the pre-match competition of the national team. In the training list.
She didn’t want to disappoint Yan Xinyuan’s kindness, so she nodded.
“I know, Coach Yan, I will definitely train hard when I arrive in Beijing. Even if I can’t play, I can’t lose face to our Binhai provincial team.”
Only then did Yan Xinyuan smile with satisfaction.
“Hey, that’s right, the game has started, let’s go.”
Jian Chang agreed, and ran onto the field with the racket.
The Binhai Province team has a group arena every week. Rankings are based on the results of the training match. Those with a low ranking can challenge those with a high ranking. If they win, they will receive special allowances, food subsidies, vacations and other benefits to encourage healthy competition among the players. Fight hard and challenge yourself.
At present, Xie Shi’an ranked first in the total score.
Ever since everyone knew that she was now ranked seventh in the world, they all geared up and clamored to fight her.
Xie Shi’an was not timid, and the corner of his lips curled up.
“Why don’t you go up together and fight one by one, it’s a waste of time.”
The opposite team lost two games in a row, Jian Changnian, who was out of breath, looked at each other with the other teammates, nodded, threw the racket and rushed forward.
“Fuck her together, **** her!”
Oops.
Xie Shi’an secretly thought it was wrong, and ran away, but someone had already locked the door, and the training room was empty and there was nowhere to hide. After all, it was hard to beat four hands with two fists, and he was quickly pushed down to the ground and scratched.
“What are you doing?! Hurry up and stop!”
Coach Liang blew his whistle frantically on the sidelines, his mouth twisted in anger, but it didn’t help.
Yan Xinyuan watched their playful backs, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but his eyes were a little emotional.
Shi’an, Chang Nian, I don’t have anything to teach you anymore, the road ahead will depend on you to walk on your own.
Later, Jian Changnian often recalled Yan Xinyuan, and what he thought of was not his sternness, nor his iconic old smoking gun, but this summer evening, the three of them rode the old bicycles in the training base together, along the road. Walking leisurely along the field path in front of the door that smells of rice fragrance.
The road is so long, it seems that there is no end to it.
That was the sixteenth year when she grew wildly like the grass on the roadside, and it was also the last happy time in adolescence.
At the end of the road is a small village with several fish ponds. Yan Xinyuan bought some fish and two catties of shrimp from the local villagers, and clamored to go home and cook for them.
Frying, frying, Jian Changnian can help with things in the kitchen, Xie Shi’an can only do such trivial things as washing vegetables and peeling garlic.
There was no range hood in the old teacher’s dormitory, and when the gas stove was turned on, Yan Xinyuan choked badly. Seeing that he was not feeling well, Jian Changnian was about to take the spatula from his hand, but was kicked out again.
“Coach Yan, let me come.”
“It’s okay, cough, cough… No need, you go out and watch TV with Shi’an, the food will be ready soon.”
The food was served, two meat and two vegetables, and a crucian carp soup, which is extremely rich in home-cooked dishes.
Normally, Yan Xinyuan would occasionally call the team members together to cook a small stove for them. Jian Changnian even thought that his skills were better than the chefs in the cafeteria. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised fish.
Xie Shi’an slapped her hand away.
“Coach Yan hasn’t come to the table yet.”
“But I’m hungry.” Jian Changnian felt aggrieved, and put down her chopsticks again.
Yan Xinyuan couldn’t help laughing, and brought them a bottle of drink from the cabinet, and took a bottle of white wine and three plastic cups for himself.
“Here, eat when you’re hungry.”
Jian Changnian cheered and poured them drinks.
Xie Shi’an looked at her and signaled that Jian Chang would like to pour less wine.
“Didn’t Coach Liang let you drink?”
Yan Xinyuan smiled.
“Refill, refill, it’s okay, I’m happy today!”
Jian Changnian winked and mouthed across from her.
“You drink it yourself, and don’t let others drink it.”
Xie Shi’an kicked her back under the table.
“If you dare to expose my drinking in front of Coach Yan, you will die.”
Jian Changnian stuck out her tongue and made a face at her.
“slightly.”
The three of them chatted while eating, and there seemed to be endless topics to talk about, and it was late at night before they knew it.
When asked why he chose to leave the national team to serve in the Binhai provincial team, Yan Xinyuan was taken aback for a moment, drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, put down the glass, and said slowly.
“Because my wife…that is, your teacher’s wife…is from Jiangcheng City, and I…want to visit her hometown.”
Without waiting for Xie Shi’an to stop him, Jian Chang Nianxin said bluntly.
“Where is the teacher’s wife now?”
Yan Xinyuan smiled with nostalgia in his eyes.
“She’s gone, she left early, and now no one remembers her.”
Xie Shi’an hesitated, but still spoke.
“Master is…”
When talking about the past, especially when talking about his lover, no matter how many years have passed, Yan Xinyuan’s eyes are always shining.
“She is my junior junior sister. We have been training together since we entered the national team, and we also won the runner-up in the mixed doubles world championships together. But not long after we got married, she… had a car accident and left, leaving only me and my insufficiency. The one-year-old daughter depends on each other for life, and then…”
Maybe he was drunk, no matter what they asked, Yan Xinyuan vomited it all out like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, and he rarely mentioned the past to them.
When Yan Xinyuan said this, he pinched his eyes, inevitably feeling sad.
The two of them looked at each other in blank dismay, both of them regretted bringing up this topic, and Jian Changnian couldn’t hear it, and his eyes were red.
“Coach Yan, you…”
She couldn’t say the word mourning. If everyone knew mourning, how many unswerving stories would there be in the world.
Xie Shi’an silently handed him a tissue.
Yan Xinyuan waved his hand and covered his eyes to indicate that he was fine.
“I’m just… just a bit regretful… Your teacher’s wife, she was rushing to become the first female athlete in China to win the badminton grand slam, but who knows…”
“I struggled all my life, but I couldn’t win the grand slam for her. I had to retire when I was old. I wanted to raise my daughter well and inherit her mother’s last wish. Who knows…”
When he said this, he couldn’t go on anymore. For a moment, he was filled with grief, his shoulders shrugged, and he burst into tears.
Although he didn’t finish his sentence, Jian Changnian already understood everything when he looked at the photo of a family of three he pasted on the wall.
The leak in the house happens to rain all night, and the hemp rope is broken at the fine point. Fate has never favored a poor man like him.
Xie Shi’an’s eyes were also red, he filled the wine for him, poured half a glass himself, lightly touched the plastic cup he put on the table, lifted it up, and drank it down in one gulp.
“Coach Yan, don’t worry, I will fulfill your wish and your teacher’s wife’s wish for you.”
Young chivalry, in the middle of a conversation, life and death are the same, a promise is worth a thousand dollars. [1]
Later, Xie Shi’an swept all major competitions around the world, and even gave Jin Nanzhi, who was in the limelight at that time, the nickname of “cashier”.
Whenever the media interviewed her curiously and asked who her teacher was, Xie Shi’an would always dial the phone calmly and say firmly.
“My teacher is Yan Xinyuan, the former head coach of the Binhai Provincial Team. He is not only my teacher, but also my relative.”
