MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 67 opener
When it was time to set off, only Yan Xinyuan and Coach Liang came to the airport to see him off, because he was only the head coach of the provincial team, and he could not accompany him in such international competitions.
Yan Xinyuan looked at his two favorite students. Today they all changed into the uniform of the national team, with red and gold as the background color, and the black dragon patterned on the white part of the cuffs with gold thread, which is grand and elegant.
The back is no longer the words "Binhai Provincial Team", but a five-star red flag is embroidered on the chest.
He touched Jian Changnian's head, still a little bit reluctant.
"You go, don't embarrass me."
Jian Changnian lowered her head and let him flatten and round her, muttering softly.
"Can't Coach Yan go with us?"
"Of course, when you arrive in Shanghai, someone will arrange food, daily life and training, so I won't worry about it."
After he finished speaking, he took a deep look at Wan Jing.
Wan Jing understood and nodded.
"Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of these two children."
Jian Changnian has not been away from Yan Xinyuan for such a long time since he joined the Binhai Provincial Team. Every time he played a game, he would watch from the audience, thinking that he would never see him again when he turned his head after the game.
Jian Changnian's eyes turned red and she threw herself into his arms.
"Coach Yan, why can't you go with us? You are our head coach. If you're not here, I'm afraid I won't perform well."
Yan Xinyuan was startled, and slowly patted her on the back.
"Son, this is the rule."
"What's breaking the rules, can't you just watch the game?"
"There are still so many things in the team. Besides, I only look at you, and I don't care about the others? When you become the chairman of the Badminton Federation, you can do whatever you want."
Yan Xinyuan was originally a joke, but he said it casually to coax her to play.
Who knew that Jian Changnian sniffed and remembered it in his heart.
"If I become the president of the Badminton Federation, I will definitely transfer you to the national team and let the whole world know that my teacher is you."
"This silly child..." Tong Yan Wuji, Yan Xinyuan was so teased from ear to ear, he let go of him and said earnestly.
"They are all substitutes for the national team. Don't cry. Listen, although you are a substitute, you can't relax at all times. Being a substitute does not mean sitting on the bench. Seeded players can often raise the upper limit of the team, but the substitute must be able to Those who stick to the bottom line of the team, this time is also a good opportunity to communicate face-to-face with the world's top professional players, let me watch and learn, and I will test you when I come back."
After Yan Xinyuan finished speaking, he lowered his voice again.
"Also, your Yuchu sister is not here, look at Dian Shi'an, don't let her be bullied, and don't let her bully others."
It's the last sentence that matters.
Jian Changnian finally smiled through tears, and nodded heavily.
"Coach Yan, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"
"Shi'an—" After arranging everything, Yan Xinyuan waved again and called Xie Shi'an who was standing beside him.
"Coach Yan." Xie Shi'an took off his earphones.
Yan Xinyuan touched her head again, his palm was broad and warm.
"Don't forget what I told you that night, and don't let me down. Think about what you are playing for. Go, go to a wider stage."
After the old man finished speaking, he gently pushed them towards the boarding gate.
Jian Changnian turned her head frequently, and he was always looking around with a smile. For some reason, she felt a bit like her grandmother standing at the gate of the courtyard to see her off every time she left home, so her nose was sore, and she almost shed tears .
The boarding announcement has already sounded.
"Flight CN7089 bound for Shanghai has started boarding, dear passengers..."
Xie Shi'an stood on the spot and turned his head.
"gone."
Jian Changnian wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and followed quickly.
"coming."
When sitting on the plane, Jian Changnian fastened her seat belt. Looking back, looking at her face, she finally remembered what Qiao Yuchu had told her, and she opened her mouth.
"Pick up—"
Xie Shi'an wore earphones and turned a deaf ear to the roar of the plane's engine. She pulled down the visor and put on the blindfold.
It's clear that it's an appearance that strangers should not get close to.
Jian Changnian swallowed the words again.
After sending the person away, Yan Xinyuan pressed his fist to his lips and coughed violently.
Coach Liang felt a little heart-piercing when he heard it, so he quickly took a cup of warm water from the water dispenser next to him and handed it to him, and helped him sit down on the chair.
"I advised you to go for an inspection earlier. You said you were going to play the national competition. After the national competition was finally over, you said that you were going to prepare for the World Championship trials. Now that's all right, I've sent both of you away. You can take a good rest and go to check. Take a break."
Yan Xinyuan took a sip of warm water and felt better.
"Come on, stop nagging, let's go and see it when we return to Jiangcheng this time, what time does our plane arrive?"
"It's four o'clock in the afternoon."
"Oh, it's four o'clock, it's still early, and we can go to Tianqiao to listen to another cross talk. By the way, Yuchu left?"
"Hey, I said you don't worry about your health, but you always want to play. You left early, and you asked me to bring you a message. I want to take a few days off to have a good rest and go home to have a look."
"It should be, it should be, I should have a good rest, not to mention them, I am tired—" Yan Xinyuan stood up slowly while supporting his waist, and Coach Liang quickly gave his hand.
"Oh, my old bones, let's go, let's go to Tianqiao to listen to the cross talk, and let's relax."
***
After Xie Shi'an and his team arrived in Shanghai, they immediately devoted themselves to intense competition training. At the same time, the results of the World Championship draw came out. Although Jiang Yunli has retired, at present, she is still ranked in the Badminton World Championships. First, followed by Yin Jiayi, who was placed in the upper half as the No. 1 seed.
It is worth mentioning that Jin Nanzhi was also assigned to the upper half, which meant that there must be a battle between the two, while Xie Shi'an was assigned to the lower half. Although he avoided the civil war with Yin Jiayi, But there are also a lot of masters in the lower half, and the battle situation is not optimistic.
Jian Changnian looked at the schedule posted in front of the training room and felt a toothache. Before coming, Yan Xinyuan had already made a general science popularization and tactical plan for the world's top professional players who are currently active.
Therefore, she knew most of the names of the people in the photos.
"The No. 2 seed player in the second half, currently ranked third in the world, Anton Switch from Canada, No. 4 British professional player Misa, currently ranked fifth in the world, No. 6 Singapore genius girl Natiya, just last year Won the women's singles championship at the World Youth Championship..."
"Shi'an, the lower half of your area is simply an Asura field!"
Yin Jiayi looked at the schedule, her eyes gradually fell on the familiar names, and she was slightly lost in thought.
When they were nervously preparing for the battle, Qiao Yuchu didn't return to Jiangcheng, and the time went back half a day ago.
She got up very early, and there were still four hours before the plane took off at the airport. She sat down in a 24-hour coffee shop, contacted Coach Liang by phone and asked for leave.
Not long after hanging up the phone, my mother's call came in, most likely to scold her again.
Qiao Yuchu hung up, but the other party was persistent, so she had no choice but to pick it up with a tired face.
"Mom, it's early in the morning, what's the matter?"
The sound of playing mahjong came from the receiver.
Mother Qiao raised her voice at the card table.
"Have you finished the game yet? Come back quickly after the game. Your Auntie Chen introduced you to another boyfriend, a returnee who works in a private company and is tall and handsome..."
She was chattering on the other end, and Qiao Yu suddenly felt bored from the bottom of her heart, so she responded perfunctorily.
"Got it, Mom."
After all, he hung up the phone.
Qiao Yuchu raised her head and looked at the words "Jiangcheng" dancing on the electronic screen of the airport in front of her. It was clearly her home, but she was inexplicably conflicted. She pulled her luggage and stood up. When she turned around, she saw the man standing Behind him, holding the phone in his hand, he smiled at her.
It looks like he wants to call her.
Qiao Yuchu was startled, but then laughed too.
"Why are you here?"
"You said you were going back to Jiangcheng today, but you didn't tell me the flight number. If I want to see you off, I can only drive here early in the morning to try my luck."
Qiao Yuchu dragged her luggage and walked towards him.
"I wanted to go home, but now I don't."
Jin Shunqi took the things in her hand without asking any further questions.
"Then let me show you around Beijing."
"You foreigner, take me? Shopping in Beijing?" Qiao Yuchu looked at him in disbelief.
Jin Shunqi yelled loudly.
"Of course, I have been in Beijing for more than a year. I may not know much about the places of interest, but I am definitely good at eating, drinking and having fun. Miss Bao Qiao is satisfied!"
Qiao Yuchu didn't know that while she was visiting the capital with Jin Shunqi, something happened quietly at home.
"Hey, this kid, he hung up the phone before he finished speaking." Mother Qiao put down the phone and continued to play mahjong.
The seven aunts and eight aunts next to each other looked at each other, and there was some gossip in their eyes.
"Every year we tell her to introduce someone to her, but every year we look down on her. Don't tell me there's already someone out there."
Before Mother Qiao could speak, someone spoke up next to her.
"Young people nowadays are having a lot of fun. What's the fashion? It's called cohabitation before marriage! The daughter of the old Liu Tou family who used to play cards with us is three months pregnant, and she asked the man to come from home She got kicked out, what a good girl, she became pregnant out of wedlock and got divorced again, it will be a sad life in the future."
When Qiao's mother heard it, she also murmured in her heart.
"Our family has been very obedient since we were young, so we shouldn't be able to do such outrageous things."
Several people laughed again, you took one piece and I played mahjong.
In the middle of playing cards, the middle-aged woman sitting opposite Qiao's mother answered the phone, her expression changed immediately, she threw down the mahjong and left.
"I have something to do today, let's fight another day."
"Hey, don't go, how can we play the card of three missing one?"
Qiao's mother tried to persuade her to stay, and the rest of the people all winked at her, and waited for the person to walk away before saying anything.
"Don't keep her, she is busy catching **** recently."
"Huh? How do you say that?"
The poker table has always been the place where gossip spreads the most, Qiao's mother pricked up her ears.
The aunt sitting next to her continued to play the rest of the cards, and said coolly: "You don't know, her unlucky husband found her another baby outside, and it is said that she is pregnant. My brother-in-law lived in the same neighborhood as her family, and saw her pulling Xiao San by her hair and dragging him out of her husband's car. At that time, the two of them were still disheveled. Restless."
Another humane.
"Haven't Xiao Chen and her husband been married for many years? Why did this incident happen suddenly? It was still at the gate of the community. Xiao Chen and her son are about to take the college entrance examination. How can they hold their heads up in the future?"
"That's right. Xiao Chen and her husband also met when they were young. They have been a model couple for most of their lives. Who knew that they would have such a kick in middle age. Who would bear it?"
"It is said that it started when the man was transferred to work in other places. He hadn't been home much for more than half a year. Even if he went home occasionally to pay public food, he was not active. He said that he was too busy and tired at work and refused to live a married life. It turns out that I got involved with my little secretary."
A few people were excited about what they said, but Mother Qiao's hand holding the cards slowly froze in the air.
Everyone glanced at her.
"Mother Yuchu, what's wrong with you?"
Mother Qiao came back to her senses and smiled.
"No...it's nothing, come on, come on, shuffle the cards."
"If you want me to tell you, you have to pay close attention to your old Qiao. It is said that a man has forty-one flowers. At this age, he has no house, car or ticket. I don't know how many girls are watching outside."
Mother Qiao shuffled the cards as usual.
"Oh, I can't trust anyone, and I can't trust Old Joe."
That being said, she usually plays mahjong all day from morning to night, and stays up all night when she is lucky, but today she shirked something and got off the table early before twelve o'clock in the noon.
Mother Qiao returned home, sat on the sofa, looked at the cold living room, the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong.
She took out her mobile phone and wanted to call her husband, but saw that in the dialog box, apart from the transfer records of the family's necessary expenses, there were not even a few words of pleasantries, and thinking that he would occasionally go home with a look of lack of interest, husband and wife Life is not even willing to be perfunctory. Apart from smiling a little towards her daughter, she has almost no good looks towards her, and she is polite and alienated.
Qiao's mother seemed to be pricked by a needle.
She moved her thumb away from the dial key, still bought a ticket to the provincial capital, packed a few clothes in a hurry, and went out.

Although Yan Xinyuan was extremely reluctant, Coach Liang took him to the hospital for a physical examination as soon as he returned to Jiangcheng City.
The doctor looked at his chest X-ray and frowned.
"From the X-ray, there is a shadow in the lungs, but for the specifics, I suggest you go to a professional chest hospital to have a look."
As soon as these words came out, Coach Liang became anxious.
"Doctor, what exactly is it, you should explain it clearly."
Yan Xinyuan coughed a few times, panting slightly.
What kind of disease, he has to go to a professional chest hospital to see, he already has a bad premonition in his heart.
"Doctor, is it cancer?"
The doctor looked at them with a troubled expression on his face.
"It's hard to say whether it's cancerous or not. Just judging from the film, it's a shadow caused by a nodule, yes, but tumors can also be divided into benign and malignant. We are a general hospital. In order not to delay your condition, we recommend You go to the chest hospital for further pathological analysis."
"Come on, Lao Yan, sit here for a while."
After leaving the consultation room, Yan Xinyuan sat on a chair with the film in his hand, and Coach Liang ran to the other side to make a phone call.
He was free and took out his mobile phone to watch the sports news.
"Guo Yu's "First Sister" Yin Jiayi easily defeated German professional player Crystal 2-0 and won her first victory"
"South Korean team Kim Nam-ji swept the runner-up of the last World Championships, Thailand's seed player Mara 2-0"
"National Feather Rising Star Xie Shi'an lost the first match, 1-2 lost to Singapore rookie Natiya"
"After the first day of competition, Yin Jiayi continued to lead the rankings in the first half of the division, while Xie Shi'an's points situation in the lower half is not optimistic"
…
He casually clicked on the last piece of news, and the comments were full of scolding.
"Is this the real strength of the national championship champion? It's really bad, or did Jiang Yunli let it go on purpose?"
"Playing games in China, anyone who understands it."
"Let's talk about how much the Binhai Province team spent to buy this championship. I suggest the Badminton Association strictly investigate."
"It's just a mistake, there's no need to be so malicious to the athletes."
…
Yan Xinyuan turned over one by one, his blood surged, and he coughed violently a few times.
Coach Liang hung up the phone and walked back.
"It's okay, Lao Yan, it's really hard to get an expert number in the Chest Hospital. Fortunately, I have an old classmate. A relative of his works in the Chest Hospital. He made an appointment for us with the plus number the day after tomorrow. Now you can go there with the medical records first." The admission procedures will be shown to us when the director comes the day after tomorrow.”
"It's okay." Yan Xinyuan waved his hand with his mobile phone and stood up with difficulty.
"I was just watching the news. Shi'an lost his first battle, and the public opinion on the Internet is overwhelming. It's really worrying."
Coach Liang supported him as he walked away in the corridor.
"Isn't it normal to make mistakes? There is no general victor in competitive sports. Sooner or later, she will have to face these alone."
"I'm just worried about her state. It looks like she quarreled with Yuchu before leaving like that. I'm afraid it will affect her performance in the future."
"I see you, those who worry about this and that all day long should worry more about their own health! This is only the first match, and if you win it later, you will be fine."
