The morning sun of our boyhood

It rained again, and it fell on the place where there was a lot of water, splashing layers of ripples, and the shadows of the sky and plants in the water were also dispersed, and the sound of the rain became tick-tock, tick-tock Feeling relaxed and happy, as if you are in a water wonderland.

Qingcheng studied Taekwondo in the United States for three years, but she learned it privately from her father.She is very good at taekwondo, she is only short of getting a black belt in the last exam, and she likes the feeling of fighting in the arena.

In the past, she had countless opportunities to participate in competitions and even the World Youth Championship (World Youth Taekwondo Competition), but because of her father, she gave up all of them.Because she was afraid that her father would see the video of her competition and stop her from continuing to practice taekwondo.

After going to the United States to play a game last time, it has been a long time since she touched taekwondo. Before school, she would go to the art club to complete club activities, and then come to the baseball field to train baseball players together.Now every day after school, she puts aside everything else and concentrates on practicing taekwondo.

That's because, Qingcheng's master thinks highly of Qingcheng, even if Qingcheng returns to China now, the master will help her connect with more outstanding taekwondo competitions.

Recently, there was a large gymnasium challenge in Shuangqing City. Although Qingcheng does not belong to any of the gymnasiums here, the gymnasium in the United States is the main gymnasium of the gymnasium here, and this gymnasium is the one in the United States. Branches of gymnasiums.Master helped her contact the curator and asked her to participate in the competition under the name of Cloud Gym.

One afternoon, when his baseball teammates were training, Qingcheng put on his sportswear and practiced taekwondo.Ban Xiaosong stared at Qingcheng for many days, couldn't help being curious, he put down his training and ran to Qingcheng.

Qingcheng made a move, kicking with a 360-degree backspin.The moment the leg was kicked out, Qingcheng saw Ban Xiaosong running over, just a little bit away from being kicked in the face of Ban Xiaosong, Qingcheng quickly retracted her foot and stood firmly on the ground.As for Ban Xiaosong, he was so frightened by that moment just now that he still hasn't recovered.

Qingcheng was afraid that he had just kicked Ban Xiaosong, so she stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Xiaosong, are you alright?"

Hearing Qingcheng's voice, Ban Xiaosong immediately came back to his senses, pretending to be nonchalant and said: "It's okay, it's okay."

Hearing this, Qingcheng also let go of her worried expression and smiled.Ban Xiaosong also smiled, and asked his own question: "Qingcheng, you haven't come to the baseball team for training recently, what are you doing?"

"I'm practicing taekwondo."

"Taekwondo?"

"Well, there's a competition next week, let's practice more now."

"Qingcheng, you are really amazing," said Ban Xiaosong and made a great gesture, "We watched all your games in the United States last time, but we didn't expect you to have a gentle face, since you fight so hard. "

fight?Well, for a person like Ban Xiaosong who only has baseball in his eyes, it's better not to popularize too many other things for him.

Qingcheng smiled slightly: "Thank you."

"Qingcheng, teach me Taekwondo after the competition next week, so that I can defend myself." Ban Xiaosong made a gesture ready to fight.

Because they talked about Taekwondo, Qingcheng was very happy, took the opportunity to tease Ban Xiaosong, and said with a smile: "Do you still need to learn Taekwondo? You only need to put a baseball bat on your shoulder all day, and if someone wants to beat you, you can lift it." Swing the bat and scare 'em to death."

"..."

This weekend is the last day to go to the gymnasium to practice. On Friday, after school, Qingcheng will leave alone. Usually, no matter how busy she is, she will say hello to Ban Xiaosong and the others.But today, Taekwondo is as important to Qingcheng as baseball is to Ban Xiaosong.

On Friday night, Qingcheng practiced very late, and everyone in the gymnasium has left except for the people staying here.At 23 o'clock, Qingcheng didn't go back.

When she got home, she found that there were more than 30 missed calls on her mobile phone. The callers included Wu Tong, Yin Ke, Ban Xiaosong, Li Zi, and An Mi. Qingcheng was frightened by Wei Wei. Did they think something happened to her?

Is not it?He disappeared as soon as school was over, and no one answered the phone at the beginning. It's no wonder that everyone was not in a hurry, especially An Mi.At this point, An Mi called again, and as soon as Qing Cheng answered the phone, she heard the other party's stern voice.

"Xia Qingcheng, you are finally willing to answer the phone. Didn't you see the missed call? Don't you know how to call back? Do you know how worried we are? If you don't answer, I will call the police..." Then the machine gun He bombarded Qingcheng without hesitation, and Qingcheng had no chance of replying.

After An Mi finished speaking, Qing Cheng said softly: "I'm sorry, cousin, I really forgot, and I just saw the missed call just now. I was about to call back when you called."

An Mi lowered her stern tone and asked, "Where did you go today? Ban Xiaosong and the others said you left as soon as school was over, and you didn't even say hello to them."

Qingcheng, who had calmed down, remembered this incident, and replied with a hint of apology: "I have a competition next week, and I went to practice today. I left in such a hurry, I forgot, sorry."

"Okay, just explain clearly. Let me know where you go in the future, and you must answer the phone. Wu Tong and the others have been worried about you for a long time. You can explain to them tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you cousin."

"Go to bed early, bye."

"bye."

After finishing the phone call with An Mi, Qing Cheng originally wanted to call everyone to explain, but she thought that this was the point, and the call would definitely disturb everyone.

She opened WeChat and sent everyone one by one [Because there will be a competition next week, I went to practice after school today, and I didn't tell everyone, and I didn't answer everyone's calls, which made everyone worry, sorry. 】

Qingcheng originally thought that everyone would be asleep at this point, and no one would reply. The phone rang within a few seconds after the message was sent, and the caller was Wu Tong.

"Wu Tong, what's the matter so late?" Qingcheng knew that Wu Tong must have called because of training, but she asked knowingly to avoid embarrassment.

"You know it's late now? I called you so many times before, but I didn't answer. To be honest, where did you go today?" There was a trace of anger in Wu Tong's tone.

"Didn't I already send a WeChat message, I went to training today, and I forgot to tell you."

Wu Tong was choked by Qingcheng's words, he didn't read the WeChat content at all, but just made a call when he saw Qingcheng's message.

"Okay, got it, please tell me if you have anything to do in the future."

At this moment, Qingcheng feels that Wu Tong is just like An Mi, but it is hard to say anything, after all, Wu Tong cares about herself, "Okay, I see, thank you for your concern."

"Are you home?"

"Ah."

"Go to bed early, good night."

"Good night."

Qingcheng thought it was over, but as soon as she hung up the phone, WeChat rang.

Yin Ke's family is very strict, and Yin Ke's work and rest schedules are all planned very precisely, since he didn't sleep at this time?

[Qingcheng, you went to training today, but why didn't you answer everyone's calls. 】

Sure enough, it was Yin Ke, unlike the previous two who were worried about the city when they came up.

[Sorry, I was too involved in the training and didn't pay attention. 】

Qingcheng suddenly remembered that the good student Yin Ke hadn't slept since it was so late.

[By the way, it's so late, since you haven't slept yet. 】

Of course Yin Ke would not tell the truth, and replied to

[Woke up by your WeChat. 】

Seeing this news, Qingcheng felt a little bit of self-blame.

【Excuse me(.)】

Yin Ke couldn't help laughing when he saw the expression behind Qingcheng, considering that he would have to get up early tomorrow.

【Rest early, good night】

【Good night】

After bidding farewell to Yin Ke, Qingcheng was afraid that someone would call or send a message. After staring at the phone for a few minutes, she confirmed that there was no more call and went to sleep.

The next morning, Qingcheng woke up at 5:[-], packed up her things, and immediately ran to the gymnasium to start her whole day of devil training.

At 7 o'clock, Wu Tong came to Qingcheng's house and knocked on the door. No one responded after knocking several times. He must have gone to play Taekwondo again.He picked up his cell phone and was about to make a call, but then he wondered if he was taking too much control.So, I turned off the phone and stopped asking.

After practicing for a whole day, Qingcheng has been practicing except for lunch with the curator.She was wearing a taekwondo uniform and was practicing seriously. Sweat was flowing wantonly on her face, completely soaking her taekwondo uniform. You must know that the taekwondo uniform is not thin, but her movements are still in place, not at all. No slack.

During practice, Qingcheng clearly heard other people talking about her.

"Isn't it just a challenge? Is it necessary to fight like this?"

"Yes, and she had dinner with the curator at noon today."

"Really? Sure enough, I walked in through the back door. The backstage is really tough."

………………

"Others are training, what are you all doing? Do you think there are not enough tasks?" Just as everyone was discussing, a stern voice suddenly came from the door—it was the elder brother of the gymnasium.

Everyone was frightened and immediately silenced, and started training again.

Qingcheng, who was training, also glanced at the speaker.

Eldest brother walked to Qingcheng and said softly, "You don't know the same level as them, do you?"

Out of respect, Qingcheng stopped training and said: "I never care about what others think of me. After all, I think and think, why should I let others know." After speaking, Qingcheng nodded politely and continued training.

Now that the elder brother with an iceberg face smiled, it was obvious that she was moved by Qingcheng's words.

"I'll practice with you!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the gym stopped training, including Qingcheng.Everyone looked at the elder brother strangely, since the elder brother with an iceberg face and an iceberg heart offered to train with others.

The reason why Qingcheng stopped was that she had another idea in her mind.A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and said, "Why don't we have a game together."

"But it's disrespectful."

Although Qingcheng didn't participate in competitions when she was in the United States, she participated in countless competitions in the gymnasium.Qingcheng and senior brother were on par in strength, and after more than ten minutes passed, neither of them got a single point from each other.The people next to him started to doze off a little bit.

At this time, the elder brother grabbed Qingcheng's right foot.Qingcheng gave a smirk, she borrowed the strength of her waist, put her weight on her left foot, turned over, her body rotated 720 degrees in the air, and then landed firmly on the ground with her back facing the elder brother.The person who dozed off at the side was no longer sleepy, and his mouth was wide enough to stuff an egg.

Qingcheng turned around with a sense of pride, smiled and said, "Accept."

The elder brother felt that for the first time, he had found a very talented taekwondo player.

"May I ask how old you are?"

"Fifteen." Qingcheng said lightly.In fact, she will not answer other people's inquiries about her personal privacy.But after comparing with the senior brother just now, she respects him very much, and the other party has the same hobbies as her own.They are passionate about Taekwondo, rather than others simply taking it as an interest.

Everyone's mouths were big enough to hold two eggs, and even the elder brother's eyes widened.The girl in front of me is estimated to be 170 in height and is so powerful in taekwondo since she is only a 15-year-old high school student.

At this moment, everyone admires Qingcheng from the bottom of their hearts.

It started again on Monday. Even though she was busy preparing for the competition, Qingcheng did not slack off in her studies.

Ban Xiaosong, Yin Ke and Wu Tong, the three of them felt that Qingcheng's excitement was a bit strong these days.Even Qingcheng herself thinks so, she feels that she can't use up all her physical strength recently.

For example, in a certain physical education class, Tao Xi somehow got on the long-distance running bar again and asked the whole class to start long-distance running.The most surprising thing is that Qingcheng ran 2 meters in just 1000 minutes.After the run, even Qingcheng himself was surprised.

Ban Xiaosong couldn't help asking Yin Ke: "Did Qingcheng become stupid in studying and studying during this time, and also, she was stupid in practicing Taekwondo, so excited."

Yin Ke shook his head and said that he didn't know either.

On Friday afternoon, after training, Wu Tong received a call from someone—Xing Shanshan.

"Hey, Wu Tong, do you have time now, let's go out and have a meal."

"I just finished training, I'm a little tired, sorry, I'm dead."

"Oh, wait a minute...Then why don't we come out and meet, I have something to tell you."

"I really don't have time."

"That's fine, I'll just say on the phone..." Xing Shanshan hesitated, and then said: "Wu Tong, this Sunday our gym will have a friendly match with other gyms. This is my first time playing a match. I want to invite you to come and see."

Taekwondo match?This Sunday?Qingcheng also has a taekwondo competition this week, it won't be the same as Xing Shanshan's.

"it is good."

Xing Shanshan was pleasantly surprised: "Then, I will pick you up on Sunday, and we will go together."

Wu Tong immediately vetoed it: "No need, you can send me the address when the time comes, and I can go by myself."

Xing Shanshan was a little disappointed: "Okay then."

In the evening, Wu Tong came to Qingcheng's house and asked, "Qingcheng, do you have a taekwondo competition this week?"

"Yes."

"Is it Sunday?"

"Well, is something wrong?"

"It's okay, just asking casually."

"Oh~" Qingcheng was dubious.

"Then I'll go first." Wu Tong turned around and walked a few steps, but was stopped by Qingcheng again.

"Wait a minute." Qingcheng turned and ran into the house, Wu Tong looked puzzled.

"Here." Qingcheng handed Wu Tong a ticket, which said "Shuangqing Gymnasium Challenge" and the venue of the competition.

"This is a ticket, one given to me by our gymnasium, you can take it."

Wu Tong took the ticket, "Give me your only ticket?"

"Well, I'm a contestant and I don't need a ticket. Anyway, no one has asked me about it. Since you're interested, I'll give it to you."

"Oh." Wu Tong was a little disappointed. It turned out that this ticket was not specially reserved for himself.

"Gym Challenge?" Wu Tong looked at the tickets. Why is it a Gym Challenge? It's different from what Xing Shanshan said. "Isn't it a friendly match?"

"Friendly match?" Qingcheng looked puzzled. To them, the friendly match and the challenge match are completely different, and they are completely different concepts. ? "Well... you can also say that."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

"Bye-Bye."

Xing Shanshan has also learned Taekwondo for almost a year, can't she tell the difference between a challenge match and a friendly match?Calling the challenge match a friendly match, is it still unclear, or is it intentional?

Soon came Sunday, and the challenge is coming.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, people from the Cloud Gym and the Sending Rain Gym arrived at the competition site.

Wu Tong also arrived as scheduled.

Xing Shanshan looked at the situation at the scene, there were many spectators, and the voices were buzzing.And with the arrival of many media, she was a little worried whether Wu Tong would notice anything.But the lie has already been told, and the show must be over no matter what.

The game will start immediately, and the list will be announced.Qingcheng was puzzled, why did her opponent become Xing Shanshan?Since Jiyu Gymnasium arranged for Xing Shanshan, a green and blue belt, to fight against Qingcheng, a black belt, it was obviously in the rhythm of wanting to lose the game.Moreover, the difference in strength between the two players is too great, which can easily cause injuries.What are Jiyu and Xing Shanshan thinking?

The game started, first of all, the big brother from Yunyun gymnasium faced the big brother from Jiyu gymnasium.

Qingcheng was doing preparatory activities, but still couldn't figure it out.She accidentally left Xing Shanshan and went to the auditorium to look for Wu Tong.Don't think much about it, just keep doing your own thing.

Because of her guilty conscience, Xing Shanshan tentatively asked: "Wu Tong, what do you...how do you feel about today's match?"

"Not bad, but..."

"Just what?" Xing Shanshan was inexplicably nervous.

"It's just that Qingcheng is doing warm-up, why did you come here?"

Xing Shanshan let out a long sigh of relief: "I don't need to do warm-up, I can fight directly after a while."

Although Wu Tong doesn't know Taekwondo very well, at least he knows the grades of the belts. A person with a first-level black belt in Qingcheng is warming up, but she, Xing Shanshan, who has a fifth-level belt, doesn't, "You can do whatever you want."

In the first game, Cloud Gym won.

Next, it's time for the match between Qingcheng and Xing Shanshan.

Qingcheng walked up calmly, but Xing Shanshan looked nervous at Qingcheng's feet.She struggled to adjust her breathing, in order to...

At the start of the match, the two circled around for a while, and seeing that Xing Shanshan hadn't made a move yet, she took the lead.It's just a side kick and a point.The point is, doesn't Xing Shanshan know how to block or hide?

Qingcheng launched an attack. Side kicks, forward kicks, downward chops, and side kicks are some of the simplest and most boring kicks. Since Qingcheng can easily score 5 points.The point is, Xing Shanshan didn't hide or attack.Qingcheng felt that this game was so boring.

Game one, over.Qingcheng came down from the stage, a little dissatisfied, usually at least she would sweat a little after a game, but today she didn't sweat at all.What exactly does Xing Shanshan want to do?

At the beginning of the second round, Qingcheng waited for Xing Shanshan to play, but the opponent was still indifferent, and the audience off the court couldn't stand it anymore.No way, for the sake of the game effect, Qingcheng kicked a few times and easily scored 3 points.

At the end of the second round, Qingcheng ran to the Jiyu gymnasium, and she asked dissatisfiedly: "Xing Shanshan, what are you doing? Will you play a game?"

Xing Shanshan glanced at Wu Tong in the audience, Qingcheng saw Xing Shanshan's subtle look, and just wanted to roll her eyes.

Xing Shanshan said: "I'm sorry Qingcheng, you know that I would be afraid if you have such good kicks, so naturally I won't kick."

Qingcheng is speechless, is this a reason?With a hint of anger: "This is taekwondo, not you dancing cheerleading, please be serious, if you don't have the spirit of taekwondo, then please don't learn taekwondo."

At the beginning of the third game, Xing Shanshan thought: If she didn't take the initiative to attack, Xia Qingcheng wouldn't use harsh moves against herself.Qingcheng doesn't want to spend any more time with Xing Shanshan, so she should finish and go home early.

As soon as the game started, Xing Shanshan started to kick, but she kicked so weakly that she didn't score any points on Qingcheng's protective gear.Qingcheng rolled her eyes, approached her and asked, "You haven't eaten today? Work harder."

She continued to kick, but never scored.Qingcheng couldn't take it anymore, so she simply knocked her out.

Qingcheng stepped up sideways. After making a movement, she turned her leg and raised her knee while pulling her right arm up. She kicked her non-kicking leg hard on the ground. She tilted her body about 30 degrees in the air and then paid attention to Xing Shanshan's head. She turned around and looked at it again. The target backspins and lands.A beautiful 540-degree backspin kick successfully knocked out Xing Shanshan.

Xing Shanshan fell to the ground, and Wu Tong got up abruptly.What did he just see?A Xia Qingcheng who has lost her "humanity" and only cares about the game; a Xia Qingcheng who only sees her opponent and her own strength; a Xia Qingcheng who fights Xing Shanshan for a small game.He didn't seem to know the girl Xia Qingcheng in front of him who was still doing taekwondo gestures, looked at Xing Shanshan coldly, and was still panting.

The referee announced the victory of Yunyun gymnasium, Qingcheng smiled, and people from the same gymnasium came to her and surrounded her.Wu Tong forgot the cries of the people around him, as if he had entered a silent world.

He ran to the stage and picked up Xing Shanshan. Qingcheng, who was surrounded by his teammates, saw this scene through the gap.She walked out of the crowd and looked at Wu Tong and Xing Shanshan with mixed feelings in her heart.And Wu Tong looked at Qingcheng indifferently, with a trace of anger and disappointment in his eyes.He carried Xing Shanshan on his back and left the scene.

Qingcheng's expression was on his face.

Qingcheng, who was stunned in place, suddenly realized, what do I think they are doing?Surrounded by flashing lights and applause, she forced herself to smile.
