MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 46 National competition (10)
When Zhou Mu was about to hail a taxi to go back to school, a bicycle stopped in front of her, and Cheng Zhen stood on the ground with one foot.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
Zhou Mu asked strangely, "Didn't you go back to the training base with them?"
"I will go to Hainan for training the day after tomorrow, and I will walk directly from the airport."
Cheng Zhen patted the back seat of the car and motioned for her to come up.
"It's late, the dormitory will be closed if you don't leave."
"Oh, good."
Zhou Mu pinched his clothes and jumped into the car cautiously.
The two of them galloped all the way against the night wind. Under the bridge was the rushing river, and above the bridge was the constant flow of cars.
In Zhou Mu's impression, although Cheng Zhen is good at studying and swimming, he seems to have never been self-motivated. He was a little surprised when he suddenly said that he was going to a training camp.
"Well, why are you suddenly going to..."
Cheng Zhen smiled, the bike was riding very steadily.
"To tell you the truth, my father asked me to learn swimming. I didn't like it much, but today I saw sister Yuchu and Shi'an working so **** the field, so many people cheered and applauded for them."
"I suddenly had an illusion that it would be fine if I stood there. Occasionally, I wanted to be a competitor instead of a spectator. At that moment, I thought I didn't like swimming that much, but it wasn't that annoying. I wanted to try it. Give it a try, see how far you can do it, and the decision to go to the training camp has just been made."
Hearing what he said, Zhou Mu also laughed.
"That's great, you all have things you want to do."
Cheng Zhen looked back at her.
"You don't?"
Zhou Mu shook his head.
"I like playing badminton, but I don't seem to have that talent. I can't do everything just because I like it."
Cheng Zhen saw that there was a Polaroid hanging around her neck, so he boasted casually.
"How come, your badminton is also very good among amateur players, how can you compare with Shi An's pervert, and the photos you took for everyone today are very beautiful, and they all like it. There are still two years left before the college entrance examination, so you can slowly think about what you want to do."
Zhou Mu's heart warmed, and he picked up the camera hanging around his neck.
"What about you, do you like the photos I took for you?"
Cheng Zhen was taken aback and smiled.
"I like it. It's very beautiful. I usually go out with my brothers. They take pictures of sand sculptures or ugly pictures of me."
Zhou Mu burst out laughing.
"There is no photo paper today, another day, another day I will take a few more pictures for you."
As soon as the words fell, she suddenly remembered that he was going to a training camp.
"Ah, no, you're going to a training camp, then wait until you come back from the training camp, ah, it's still not right, you're going to compete after the training camp."
Although she was a little frustrated that she couldn't meet each other during the long winter vacation, she still encouraged him with a smile.
"Come on for the training camp, come on for the game! If I have time, I will definitely watch your game!"
Cheng Zhen also laughed.
After crossing the bridge, there was a downhill road, and the hem of the boy's clothes was blown up by the night wind.
"You too, go for the exam!"
Zhou Mu nodded heavily: "Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, the front of the car turned and the back seat swung a little. Zhou Mu was a little scared, so he yelled and grabbed his clothes tightly.
Cheng Zhen smiled and said: "It's okay, if you're scared, just hold it."
In the night, the girl?... 40; blushed slightly, and the five fingers that were pulling on his clothes relaxed, and moved forward bit by bit to encircle his waist.
***
On the way back, everyone was exhausted, and there was even breathing in the carriage.
Xie Shi'an also leaned on Qiao Yuchu's shoulder, drowsy.
Taking advantage of the neon lights that flashed outside the carriage from time to time, Jian Changnian browsed through the photos that Zhou Mu handed her one by one. There was Qiao Yuchu wearing a birthday hat and blowing out candles, and Cheng Zhen's face was smeared with cake. Zhou Mu's funny selfie, and a group photo of the Binhai provincial team.
Turning to the end of the photo, not only was it taken at the birthday party, but there was even a solo photo of Xie Shi'an on the field.
The boy jumped high, his white clothes fluttering, his long arms outstretched, and he was full of vigor. It was her who pressed the shutter when the ball that killed Yin Jiayi was the last one.
For some reason, Jian Chang thought of wanting to keep this moment forever.
She looked at the back of Xie Shi'an's head who was sitting in front, sleeping soundly, and then looked around, but no one paid attention to her.
Like a thief, Jane gently opened the zipper of her backpack, took out the diary and put the photo in it. After doing all this, she let out a long breath, and even a thin layer of pimple appeared in her palm. sweating.
But she was much more nervous than she was on the field.
The next day, the Binhai provincial team had a day off and had a simple rest. Jian Changnian also took advantage of this time to visit his grandmother in the hospital.
She used this month's salary and tournament bonuses to pay back part of the medical expenses owed to the hospital.
The staff at the cashier at the window knew her.
"Our dean said that the money is not in a hurry to pay back, it's more important to treat the disease and save the patient first, hey, yes, I watched your game..."
The young lady looked envious.
"Is Xie Shi'an on the same team as you? Can you ask me for an autographed photo of her?"
Jian Changnian thought of Xie Shi'an's icy face, and immediately flinched, and changed the subject with a haha.
She returned to the ward, put down the fruit she was carrying, opened the curtains, and took a look at the weather outside. It was a sunny day.
"Grandma, the weather is fine outside, let's go down for a walk."
She helped her grandma into the wheelchair, and then pushed her downstairs. The two of them walked slowly along the path in the hospital park, bathing in the sunshine.
As she walked, grandma saw children running on the grass, and some patients in blue and white hospital gowns were taking a walk accompanied by their family members.
Grandma looked back at Jian Changnian: "Niannian..."
Jian Chang thought: "Do you want to get up and take a walk?"
Grandma nodded.
Jian Changnian helped her get up slowly, and after walking a few turns around the distance between the two trees, she tried to let go, stepped back a few steps, and reached out to grandma again.
"Grandma, try it, walk slowly, and come to me."
Nearly a month of bed rest made the old man's limbs a little stiff, and it was even more difficult to move without the assistance.
Jian Changnian encouraged her patiently.
"Grandma, don't worry, take it step by step, come on, you can definitely do it!"
One step, two steps, three steps.
Although the old man walked very slowly, his steps were very steady. When he held grandma's hand again, she couldn't help cheering and hugged her.
"Great, grandma, great, you can finally... walk on the ground!"
Jian Changnian's mood is like the sunshine at this moment. She firmly believes that there is no storm that can't be overcome.
Their future will be as bright as today's weather.
***
It was a rare day off, Xie Shi'an was still not idle, and ran to the training room to play.
She fought back and forth with the teaching assistant, and Qiao Yuchu was sitting beside her with a bottle of water in her hand, looking at her back, but she didn't know what she was thinking.
Yan Xinyuan sat down beside her.
"Aren't you going home?"
When Qiao Yu first heard the words, she came back to her senses, looked down at the bandage on her hand, and shook her head.
"No, I'm afraid my mother will worry when I go back."
As an athlete, injuries are common, but each time it became an excuse for her to urge herself to retire. Qiao Yuchu didn't want to go home and face her at this juncture, but she didn't say it didn't mean that Qiao's mother would I don't know, after all, the real-time live broadcast clearly captured the picture of her falling.
Qiao Yuchu's mobile phone kept turning on and off, and the name of the same person was all dancing: Mom.
She had already pressed mute.
Yan Xinyuan patted her on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I still have some contacts in Beijing. The rehabilitation doctors in several hospitals are very good. The players of the national team were injured and recuperated there. We will take a good look at them when we arrive in Beijing."
A grateful smile appeared on Qiao Yuchu's face, and his eyes were a little red.
"Thank you, Coach Yan, for making you worry about me."
"Hey, it should be. Don't look at me as the head coach, but you are more like a big patriarch than me. You always take care of them meticulously like a sister. Our Coast Province team cannot do without you."
Qiao Yuchu's heart warmed up, and the eyes of the person who was a little depressed because of the injury were radiant again.
She nodded heavily: "Well, I will work hard, Coach Yan."
Yan Xinyuan patted her on the shoulder again, got up and left.
"Answer the phone, don't worry mom."
***
The next day, all the staff set off from the airport on time. To Jian Changnian's surprise, there were even fans who came to see him off.
As the number one seed player in the team, Xie Shi'an, who defeated Yin Jiayi, is naturally unrivaled in the limelight, the most popular, with flowers, gifts and letters in his arms, too many to take down.
Yan Xinyuan pulled her suitcase over and walked ahead, with Coach Liang leading the way.
"Give way, our plane will be delayed."
Jian Changnian, who was flying for the first time, was a little excited and looked around curiously, and then heard someone call her name.
"Chang Nian, Shi'an, Miss Yuchu, you guys have to work hard!"
She looked back, Zhou Mu, Cheng Zhen, Cao Rui and the girl from the club were all standing together.
The boy jumped up and waved at them.
"Okay, you guys have to work hard too!"
Xie Shi'an also waved goodbye to them with his back turned, and walked into the boarding gate.
As soon as Jian Changnian got on the plane, she moved around curiously, feeling left and right, and soon the stewardess came over and told her to fasten her seat belt, and then sat down on the seat obediently.
When the plane took off, there was a huge roar. Jian Changnian glanced down, and the buildings on the ground were densely packed with ants. She gasped and became scared for no reason.
Especially when the turbulence creates a feeling of stagnation, I hold on to the armrest tightly, and the whole person is stiff on the seat, not daring to move.
Sitting next to her, Xie Shi'an noticed something different.
"Are you afraid of heights?"
Jian Changnian swallowed.
"So... I've never been on a plane before."
Xie Shi'an showed a "so it is" smile on his face.
Jian Changnian: "..."
Damn, it seems to be made fun of again.
After a while, there was a rustling sound from the side, Xie Shi'an took out a blindfold from his bag and handed it to her.
"Close your eyes and you won't be afraid."
***
After a three-hour flight, the group arrived in Beijing smoothly and checked into the athletes' apartments provided by the Guoyu Training Center.
As soon as Jian Changnian opened the door, she was shocked. The room was clean and bright, with two single beds, refrigerator, air conditioner, washing machine, microwave oven and other small appliances, and the balcony was very spacious.
At a glance, there is a playground downstairs, and there are many tall buildings in the distance.
The teenager threw the suitcase and threw himself on the bed.
"Wow! This is so comfortable! No wonder everyone wants to come to the national team!"
Yan Xinyuan carried the luggage to the door for them.
"Two people share a room, arrange it by yourself, rest this afternoon, and gather at six o'clock tomorrow morning to start training, do you understand?"
"Understood." Everyone responded in unison.
When Yan Xinyuan turned to leave, he nodded at Qiao Yuchu again and said, "You pack up and come find me in the lobby downstairs."
Qiao Yuchu knew that she was going to take her to see a rehabilitation doctor, so she also nodded, "Okay, Coach Yan."
When the two of them entered the room, Xie Shi'an put all the gifts in his hand on the table.
"What is Coach Yan taking you for?"
Qiao Yuchu lay down on the bed.
"Ah, it's so comfortable. I haven't slept in a big bed for a long time. What else can I do? Go see a rehabilitation doctor."
"Didn't you see it all in Jiangcheng City? Or..." Xie Shi'an looked at her wrist worriedly.
Qiao Yuchu sat up, a little excited.
"I heard that this doctor is Chinese. He returned from studying in the United States. He often does rehabilitation training for some top athletes of the national team. He is very famous and difficult to make an appointment. Thanks to Coach Yan's network, he was able to make an appointment. Although I have only a small problem, But check it out."
"Really? That's really amazing. There's only half a month left before the finals. Get well soon so we can win the championship together."
Hearing what she said, Xie Shi'an also felt relieved.
He does not mean that.
When she carried her back to tidy the bed, Qiao Yuchu looked down at her wrist and sighed quietly.
***
After Qiao Yuchu packed her things, she went downstairs to meet Yan Xinyuan. From a distance, she saw him sitting on the sofa in the lobby with another middle-aged man, talking happily.
She ran over quickly.
"Coach Yan, I'm late."
Seeing her coming, Yan Xinyuan also stood up and introduced: "It's okay, I haven't waited long, let me introduce you, this is Wan Jing, the head coach of Guoyu women's singles, coach Wan, and my fellow apprentice."
Qiao Yuchu stepped forward to bow and shake hands with the man.
"Hello, Coach Wan, I'm from the Binhai Provincial Team, Qiao Yuchu."
"Hello, hello, I watched your game. You played very fiercely. The results of your coastal provincial team this year have impressed us."
"That's enough, that's enough, don't brag about each other in this business, it's important!" Yan Xinyuan hurriedly greeted the two of them... 40;
Wan Jing rolled his eyes at him.
"Hey, it's okay to say a few words. Are you afraid that I will poach someone? I haven't seen you for so long, and you still have such a quick temper."
"I don't know you yet. I wish I could bring all the best players in the world to your national team. I'll ask you to make an appointment for me. Have you made an appointment?"
The two bickered as they walked.
Qiao Yuchu burst out laughing and followed.
Wan Jing took them into his car, fastened his seat belts, put the car in gear and set off, while turning the steering wheel to look at the road, he said.
"After receiving your call, I immediately made an appointment with Dr. Jin. Fortunately, you came early. He will return to the United States by the end of the year."
Wan Jing glanced at Qiao Yuchu in the rearview mirror, saw her staring at his wrist, and comforted her.
"Don't be afraid, when the time comes, do a good examination and let Dr. Jin take a look. He can get rid of any intractable orthopedic diseases, let alone a mere minor bone fracture."
Qiao Yuchu said softly, "I'm just afraid that if I don't make it to the finals, it will affect everyone's results."
Yan Xinyuan looked back at her.
"There is nothing that affects or does not affect. We are a group. Even if we lose, it is definitely not because of one person. Moreover, it will take a long time. If you have the opportunity to make adjustments slowly, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
It is rare that there is no traffic jam in Beijing today, and soon they arrived at the International Hospital. Wan Jing parked the car and took them to the orthopedics branch.
When I arrived at the medical guidance desk, I asked the nurses and learned that Dr. Jin was not in the outpatient clinic and was guiding patients to do recovery training in the rehabilitation center.
The group walked along the corridor again, turned a corner, walked across a lawn, and arrived at the building with the four characters of rehabilitation center.
Through the glass door, Qiao Yuchu glanced in curiously. The black-haired doctor in a white coat was hunched over, supporting a seven or eight-year-old child as he paced the room slowly. Wear prosthetics.
From time to time he squatted down to adjust the comfort of the prosthetic.
Wan Jing walked over and knocked lightly on the door.
"Doctor Jin, excuse me."
The person who was called Dr. Jin turned around, smiled at them enthusiastically, handed the child to the care of the nurse at the side, gave some soft instructions, and then came out, shaking hands with Wan Jing.
"Coach Wan, long time no see."
"Long time no see, this is my senior brother, Yan Xinyuan, this, Qiao Yuchu, Miss Qiao, is your patient today."
I only heard that he is a Chinese-American before, but I didn’t expect him to speak Chinese so well, and I heard that he was very experienced before I came here. I thought he was an old professor who was over fifty years old, but I didn’t expect him to look so young. , but also very handsome.
Qiao Yuchu couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
The other party extended his hand to her enthusiastically and smiled heartily.
"Hello, Miss Qiao, Jin Shunqi, nice to meet you, you can also call me Jin, let's go to the consulting room over there, let me see your hands, did you bring the video data from the last treatment ?”
"Ah, hello Doctor Jin, here you go, wait a minute."
A series of questions caught her off guard, and she heard him ask for video data, so she hurriedly searched through her backpack, but she couldn't use one hand, the zipper couldn't be pulled up, and the data spilled all over the floor.
She leaned over to pick them up, but a hand picked them up one by one for her. Jin Shunqi stepped forward and zipped the backpack for her.
Qiao Yuchu was slightly taken aback, and looked up at him, only to realize that his pupils were amber, just like today's weather, warm and pleasant.
This is the first time meeting, Jin Shunqi gave her the feeling.
