Star of tomorrow

"boom--"

The sound of the body hitting the ground was so loud that everyone else in the boxing gym couldn't help but look over.

Qi Chen fell to the ground, his chest was heaving violently, he was sweating profusely, his muscles were congested and twitched slightly, there were large spots of light in front of his eyes, which were indistinct, and the sounds around him were coming and going, and someone was shouting at him, but he heard Unclear, he just looked blankly at the other party's open and closed lips, and slowly closed his eyes.

When Qi Chen woke up again, he was lying on the sofa in the lounge of the boxing gym, covered with a thin blanket, and there was a box of glucose on the coffee table next to him.

"I'm not in the right state...too tired."

"...The burden is too great, and the body can't bear it."

"I've said it before, he's still blank for two years at his age, how can he fight?"

"Shh..."

The door of the lounge was pushed open, and one person poked his head in to take a look, and said to the outside: "Wake up, it's all right, let's go."

"Let me say a few words to him." Someone said again, with a very serious tone.

"Go ahead, don't irritate him, just talk."

"Ah."

Qi Chen didn't move, his eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, as if flowers had suddenly grown there, and he didn't even move his eyeballs.

"Old Qi." The visitor sat on the coffee table with his legs slightly apart, looked at him and said, "You are too anxious."

Qi Chen didn't answer him.

The other party took off the mask on his head, revealing a heroic face, staring at him with a slight frown: "Old Qi, I know that the game is very important to you, but you have to put your mentality in order first. As long as you No one can win in this state, you know? Did you hear me?"

"I can't win." Qi Chen finally spoke, his voice hoarse.

His forehead was swollen, his eye sockets were cracked, the corners of his mouth were damaged, and there were bruises on his body.

He turned his head in despair and repeated, "I can't win."

"You..." The visitor crumpled the mask with one hand, and pursed the corners of his mouth, "What's the matter with you? Tell me if you have anything on your mind, or tell the coach? Tell me, huh?"

Qi Chen looked at the person for a long time, as if he just recognized him, and frowned: "Xiao Dong?"

"..." Xiao Dong touched his head and said helplessly, "Isn't it? You don't know me anymore? We played a few games, one year in Russia, remember?"

"Of course I remember." Qi Chen sat up on the sofa, seemed to have finally regained his sanity from a certain state, his eyes became normal, and he let out a long breath, "Why are you here?"

"You still ask me?" Xiao Dong smiled, "It was your assistant who invited me to fight with you, why didn't you know?"

"My assistant?" Qi Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized something, his eyes were complicated, "Did he say what his name is?"

"My surname is Ji." Xiao Dong said, "She looks quite cute."

Qi Chen clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes fell on the mask Xiao Dong held in his hand, and he said in a deep voice, "Why did he ask you to come?"

"It's to help you recover." Xiao Dong said, "I just happened to be on vacation recently, and I have to prepare for the competition at the end of the year. If I'm idle, I'm idle. Old Qi..."

Xiao Dong hesitated for a moment, and said: "We are not young anymore, I can understand you. But some things cannot be rushed, you have to find your own rhythm, and you have to put your mind at ease. We have our own advantages, explosive power and The stamina may not be as good as that of young people, but their experience and skills accumulated over the years are also beyond their reach. Look..."

Xiao Dong pointed to the wounds on his body, and pointed to Qi Chen's: "These wounds are medals that prove us, you can't let them down."

Qi Chen wiped his face, nodded, and raised his head a little nervously when he remembered something again: "You are here, then Coach Wang..."

"He's already gone." Embarrassed, Xiao Dong got up and patted Qi Chen on the shoulder, "You lost five rounds to me in a row, and he left in the fourth round."

Xiao Dong came to wear a mask when he competed with him, the original intention was to give him a surprise.Qi Chen lost his mind because he was completely suppressed and had no ability to resist. He didn't pay attention to other people at all.

Qi Chen sat on the spot with a frozen expression, and slowly clenched his hands into fists—at this moment he felt ashamed and ashamed.

Guilt, self-blame, and despair.

Xiao Dong sighed, "Don't worry, take your time."

Qi Chen bowed his head: "I let him down."

Xiao Dong wanted to comfort him, but thinking about Coach Wang's expression when he left, he had no choice but to pat Qi Chen on the shoulder heavily.

Because of Qi Chen being framed back then, Wang Haiyang left the Black Lion Club in a rage, and later established his own club.There are quite a few boxers who left with him, as well as some sparring partners and assistants; Xiao Dong is Qi Chen's former opponent, but the two have a good relationship, and they are friends and enemies who admire each other very much. They are about the same age in the circle, and they are evenly matched , Xiao Dong left his former club when his contract expired last year, and was signed away by Wang Haiyang.

Although the former enemies and friends are not young anymore, Qi Chen is very envious of his confident and calm demeanor.

Qi Chen admired two people the most in his life, one was the village party secretary who sent him out of the village, and the other was Wang Haiyang.These two are his living parents and have taught him a lot.

But now, who is he worthy of?

What kind of mood did Coach Wang feel when he watched him fall on the ring again and again in embarrassment?

And Ji Xing, he specially invited his former friends to help him, but what happened?

After Xiao Dong left for a long time, Qi Chen sat in the lounge as if petrified, without saying a word.

He has never felt that his life has been so gloomy, even when he was kicked out of the club and had nowhere to stand in a black boxing match, he was never so desperate.Because at that time he still firmly believed that he could go back.

But now, he wasn't sure.

Half an hour later, Ji Xing was standing outside the boxing gym, talking on the phone with Su Changyu.

"The evidence is almost collected," Su Changyu said at the other end, "Old Qi's ex-boyfriend took a lot of money, and we have found witnesses, and there are recordings to prove it."

"Great!" Ji Xing excitedly walked back and forth on the side of the road, "The evidence related to the black lion has to be speeded up, and the competition is coming soon. I will write the first draft in the next few days, and then let the lawyer help I'll read it again."

"Okay." Su Changyu agreed.

Ji Xing thought of something again, and asked suspiciously: "Hey, Xiao Zuo, you really don't care?"

Su Changyu was silent for a while, then lazily said: "He doesn't live up to himself, so why should I try to help him? Am I his father or his mother?"

"After all, you grew up in that environment." Ji Xing persuaded, "If you really don't care about it, say goodbye to others. Xiao Zuo has been in a bad mood recently, and I can see that he cares about you very much. .I guess no one ever treated him that well except his adoptive parents."

Su Changyu is also a tough-mouthed and soft-hearted master, otherwise how could he have such a good relationship with Ji Xing?After all, the two have similarities and can understand each other.

When Ji Xing said this, Su Changyu was shaken again, holding the phone vaguely, not knowing exactly what to say.

Ji Xing glanced at the time and felt that Qi Chen's training was almost over, and said, "Okay, I won't tell you anymore, you can figure it out yourself. I'll go pick up Qi Chen."

"Get lost." Su Changyu rolled his eyes, "Xiu Enai is divided quickly!"

"I pooh!" Ji Xing pooh pooh three times on the phone, then hung up.

Everything is going in a good direction - at least Ji Xing thinks so.

The evidence from that year is being uncovered one by one. The so-called witnesses and evidence that the parties can buy with money can also be bought with money.Now as long as Qi Chen can win the first battle and prove himself, his plan will be able to advance smoothly, help Qi Chen clean up his grievances, and return to the battlefield.

He likes Qi Chen's appearance on the ring, fearless, wild and arrogant, which makes people's blood boil.

Ji Xing asked all the way to the lounge with a smile, and slowly he felt something was wrong.

The people in the boxing gym looked at him with hesitant expressions.

It was Senior Brother Yang who followed, stopped Ji Xing when he was about to knock on the door of the lounge, and told the ins and outs in a low voice.

"He may not be in a good mood. After all, he has lost five games in a row...Xiao Dong is an idol I admire. There is one thing to say. They used to be evenly matched, and the odds of losing were [-]-[-]. They wouldn't be so one-sided. I think this is right. his

The blow may be a little big, so please be careful. "

Ji Xing didn't expect this to happen. He thanked Senior Brother Yang and stood in front of the door a little embarrassed.

It was he who arranged the actual combat training, so that Qi Chen could better understand the previous atmosphere, and also be able to see his own weaknesses more clearly.He felt that there was no problem with such an arrangement, but he never thought that Qi Chen would lose so badly.

It's not helping, it's destroying his confidence.

Ji Xing's palms were sweating for a moment, and he adjusted his mood nervously. Like a child who has done something wrong, he knocked on the door with a little trepidation and said, "Qi Chen? Are you inside? It's me."

After a moment of silence behind the door, Qi Chen came to open the door for him.

The moment Ji Xing saw Qi Chen's expression, Ji Xing's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he had messed up the matter.

"Is the training over?" He pretended not to know, and said with a smile, "I just saw a newly opened restaurant, shall we go there for dinner?"

Qi Chen didn't speak, went to the sofa and sat down, leaning his elbows on his knees, looking up at him: "Why did you arrange for Xiao Dong to come over? Do you know that his coach is Wang Haiyang?"

Ji Xing moved his throat: "I don't know. Wang Haiyang...was your former coach?"

"Yes." The veins on Qi Chen's forehead twitched, his emotions surged, but he forced himself back, "I lost five games in a row, and Coach Wang couldn't stand it and left early. He didn't even want to say a word to me. "

Ji Xing's heart beat a little faster, he stood still and said stiffly: "It's okay, wait until you win the game, and then go with him..."

"I can't win." Qi Chen said flatly.

"what?"

"I lost five games in a row, don't you understand?" Qi Chen clenched his fists, nails digging deep into his palms.He didn't want to say these words, but he couldn't hold back, he was about to explode, "Xiao Dong and I used to be evenly matched, and we were about the same age, but I couldn't even beat him, who else could I beat?"

"I took it for granted. This place doesn't belong to me long ago."

"No!" Ji Xing hurriedly said, "Your training methods were improper in the past two years, and you have developed bad habits in black boxing matches. I have asked about these in advance, and I have consulted, as long as the training methods... ..."

"It's not as simple as you think. It's not that I will win if I say 'I will win'. It's not something that will result in hard work!" Qi Chen didn't know what he was talking about, but he had to say something. , "If I can't win, what are you going to do?"

"What? There's nothing to do." Ji Xing was a little confused, "If you decide to go another way, I will support you. I just don't want you to have regrets."

"Change another way, what kind of way to change?" Qi Chen laughed strangely, "How can I catch up with you? Boxing is the only thing I'm good at, and I can't even do it well! I'll change one What way? Do business? Work? Will you still think highly of me then? Will your Ji family still think highly of me?!"

Ji Xing was taken aback: "What... What's the matter with Guan Ji's family? What are you talking about?"

"You and I are not from the same world. I should have seen it clearly." Qi Chen approached Ji Xing step by step, as if talking to the other party, but also as if talking to himself, "I shouldn't force it, I will Such a person, the most important thing to learn is to judge the situation. I can’t win, I can’t do anything, I’m suitable for the Golden Triangle. If I don’t move forward, I won’t be in such pain. It’s good to stay where I am, deceiving myself and others fine……"

"Qi Chen!" Ji Xing held Qi Chen's shoulders and said anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about! You are not that kind of person! You are different from the group of people in the Golden Triangle! You will not deceive yourself, you have to move forward! No matter how painful it is, you have to move forward! Don't run away!"

"You don't understand this kind of feeling at all." Qi Chen shook his head, stretched out his hand to touch Ji Xing's face, broke away from his hand that was holding him, and said softly and cruelly, "You don't know what it's like to be cornered, your The back road has been paved long ago, you have a place to go back to, but I don't."

Ji Xing realized something, and his lips trembled: "When... did you know?"

"Go back." Qi Chen said wearily, "Don't come back again. Let me go, and you too."

"You..." Ji Xing's eyes turned red, he was so wronged, his whole heart was shaking, "I lied to you!"

You are my fault, I apologize to you for this matter, but I didn't mean it.I just... have kept it a secret for too long, I don't know how to tell you, I missed too many opportunities.I apologize to you, Qi Chen, don't talk to me like that. "

Qi Chen took a step back. He felt that his mind was in a mess, and his heart was also in a mess. He felt that his whole body was hurting everywhere. He didn't know if it was from the training injury just now, or something else. In short, it hurt everywhere.

"I don't blame you." Qi Chen said, "I don't blame you, I have no position to blame you. I blame you, what have I become? I am ungrateful and don't know what to do? You are doing it for my own good, so how can I blame you? .”

Ji Xing's heart seemed to be hit hard by a sledgehammer, and even his breath was broken: "No, I... I didn't mean that, I didn't want to force you, if you don't want to punch, don't punch, I respect your wishes. I can accompany you whatever you do, it’s okay. You don’t have to put so much pressure on yourself, you don’t have to be something..."

"I didn't live up to it." Qi Chen exhaled uncomfortably, and turned around, "You go, don't come back, I'm serious."

Ji Xing stared blankly at Qi Chen's back: "Do you want to be alone and calm down, or do you want to break up with me?"

Qi Chen didn't answer.

Ji Xing shed tears, but soon closed his eyes stubbornly and raised his head, swallowing all the tears.When he opened his eyes again, he was filled with anger, disappointment, pain and unspeakable sadness.

He wiped his face hard, took a deep breath, tried his best to stabilize his trembling voice, and said, "Qi Chen, you are a bastard, a coward, a coward."

Qi Chen seemed to have been severely whipped, and his whole body trembled.

"I'm willing to help you. Don't be sentimental. Think it's how much I expect from you." Ji Xing said coldly, "I don't expect anything from you. You choose your own path. You want to Giving up is also your own business. You are right, the Golden Triangle is not for me, I can learn anything, but the only thing I can't learn is to back down and give up."

After Ji Xing finished speaking, he turned around and left, slamming the door loudly.

Qi Chen froze on the spot for a long time, until there was another knock on the door outside, Senior Brother Yang said, "Hello? Are you okay? That little assistant of yours is gone."

Qi Chen shook violently again, then he raised his hand to cover his eyes.
