Return to the top of the road to champions

January 1990, 1, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, eleven twenty in the morning.

"Xiaodong, speed up, speed up."

Wen Tian’s hoarse shouts sounded from the east of the playground. There was a 50-meter-long uphill road. Wan Xiaodong, who was full of sweat, opened his eyes and clenched his teeth. He ran hard on the uphill road, and the veins on his neck popped out Wan Xiaodong clenched his hands tightly.

Today is the tenth day of Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong's training. Wan Xiaodong, who has developed his leg strength training from simple sandy running to increased uphill running, has cried secretly since the first day. But every night, after falling into a deep sleep, the choked sobs would unconsciously spit out from his mouth quietly.

The next day, he smiled and participated in the training as if nothing had happened. Such Wan Xiaodong made Tao Wei feel distressed and guilty. He couldn't help but wonder if it was wrong to consciously lead Wan Xiaodong on the road of sports competition in the first place?

The torment in his heart made Tao Wei, who had also increased his training intensity, lose weight quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The pointed chin and sunken eye sockets made Yang Guocheng's mouth full of bubbling anxiously.

At first, Yang Guocheng, who thought he had a lot of training, even consciously reduced the amount of training, but Tao Wei was still losing weight. Now Yang Guocheng was in a hurry, and took Tao Wei away from the sports team and went straight to the hospital before breakfast in the morning.

Before leaving, Yang Guocheng, who was thinking about it, still called Zhang Guoqin, not mentioning what worries Zhang Guoqin had in his heart when he received the call. Yang Guocheng rushed to the hospital to register alive and look for acquaintances. The first examination has not yet been done. , Zhang Guoqin rushed to the hospital.

At the door of the laboratory, I found Tao Wei who was wearing a sportswear and waiting silently. With just one glance, Zhang Guoqin's heart skipped a beat. Tao Wei, who was sitting quietly in the crowd, his once bright and warm eyes were as quiet as a pool of stagnant water. Although it was still clear, the strong self-doubt that seemed to bury people clearly fell into Zhang Guoqin's eyes.

What made Zhang Guoqin's heart sink was that Tao Wei's thin cheeks were sunken after only a week of absence, revealing that the once long and narrow Danfeng eyes were so big that they seemed to fall out.

The first thought was that the already serious face of Zhang Guoqin, who was angry with the child, was full of murderous aura, and Zhang Guoqin, who was straight and fierce, pursed his lips into a line, making the surroundings suddenly seem to be covered by dark clouds.

While walking quickly, the figures who avoided Zhang Guoqin didn't catch a glimpse of Zhang Guoqin's eyes, and walked quickly to Tao Wei's side. Although unknown anger was burning in his heart, Zhang Guoqin gently pulled Tao Wei up and hugged the thin Tao Wei.

Zhang Guoqin frowned at the skinny skin at hand, looked around, and managed to find a place with relatively few people at the top of the stairs. Zhang Guoqin squatted down and pointed his sharp eyes directly at Tao Wei, "Second baby, tell auntie Are you being bullied? Don't be afraid, there is an aunt in everything."

Zhang Guoqin's soft voice silenced the repressed Tao Wei for a while, slowly shook his head, and answered hesitantly, not to mention that Zhang Guoqin was originally waiting in line but seeing Zhang Guoqin dragging Tao Wei away and rushing over, Yang Guocheng felt a palpitation in his heart. Xiang Wenwen's eyes suddenly burst into anger. Is he, Yang Guocheng, too honest?With such protection, there are still people who bully this child?

He raised his head and glanced at Yang Guocheng, whose eyes were flaming. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he knew exactly how much Yang Guocheng protected Tao Wei and Zhang Guoqin during the several trips to the sports team. After thinking about it carefully, he looked up and down Tao Wei's Zhang Guoqin I think there should be nothing wrong with the child's body, but the main thing is psychological.

Standing up and pulling Tao Wei to signal Yang Guocheng to follow, Zhang Guoqin took the two of them downstairs, got in the car and asked the driver Xiao Qiao to buy some food, then Zhang Guoqin, who pulled Tao Wei, gently stroked Tao Wei's back, " Erba, do you have something on your mind?"

Zhang Guoqin's gentle inquiry made Tao Wei, who had been suppressed for a long time, more silent. Although his heart was full of anxiety, Zhang Guoqin, who knew Tao Wei better than Yang Guocheng, raised his eyes to stop Yang Guocheng's questioning, and stroked Tao Wei's back again and again. , While comforting, it also slowly weakened Tao Wei's inner defense.

Time passed by every minute and every second, until almost half an hour passed, Tao Wei let out a long breath, lowered his head droopingly, and slowly let out the self-doubt in his heart, until this moment, Zhang Guoqin didn't know Wan Xiaoqin It turned out that Tao Weiyou consciously led Dong to the road of sports.

Tao Wei, who didn't hide anything at all, made Yang Guocheng a little stunned. He raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Guoqin who was a little pensive. Yang Guocheng, who moved his lips, swallowed the words. It is hard, but once the results are achieved, the glory cannot be blocked by any profession.

Yang Guocheng, who was quite disapproving, even felt that Tao Wei was looking for trouble for himself, but Zhang Guoqin was different. Zhang Guoqin knew very well that Geng Erfeng's family was different from Tao Wei's. Many times, in Zhang Guoqin's view, Tao Wei had an inexplicable feeling for Erfeng's family. Zhang Guoqin didn't know what he was guilty of, especially Hu Danzi, but for the thoughtful Tao Wei, he might not be as important as Hu Danzi.

But from Zhang Guoqin's point of view, Tao Wei would rather ask directly than torment himself like this. Thinking of this, Zhang Guoqin, who took a picture of Tao Wei's back, signaled the driver waiting outside the car to get on the bus, took the breakfast he had bought and handed it to Ling The droopy Tao Wei and Yang Guocheng hurried back to the sports team and found Wan Xiaodong in the cafeteria who was full of food.

Zhang Guoqin, who brought the two brothers directly to the dormitory, narrated in detail the torment in Tao Wei's heart for the awkward Tao Wei. Wan Xiaodong, who stared wide-eyed in surprise, looked at the silent man who bowed his head as if he couldn't believe his ears. Tao Wei, Wan Xiaodong, who jumped on Tao Wei and suppressed Tao Wei, asked Tao Wei with his own big voice with grievances, "Er baby, you don't like me becoming that world champion? If I don't like it, I won't come? Why are you so stupid? Didn't we agree that I will go wherever you go? Are you going to leave me and run by yourself. "

Wan Xiaodong's series of questioning made Tao Wei's eye circles slightly red when he was pressed on the bed. The shackles that tightly bound his heart seemed to be loosened in an instant. After struggling to sit up, he looked seriously at the aggrieved Wan Xiaodong. , "Brother, do you blame the second baby for stealing the care of the parents?"

Tao Wei, who unconsciously held his breath, clenched his fists quietly, and asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time for the first time.

Blinking his big round eyes, Wan Xiaodong, who was full of confusion, looked at Tao Wei, who was dripping with sweat on his forehead, "Why complain? Isn't that what it should be?"

It should be, it should be, with a bang, as if the heart that fell back to the original point in an instant made Tao Wei's chest swell and hurt badly, grinning slowly, Tao Wei smiled, and the tears flowing down the corners of his eyes while laughing made Wan Xiaodong was stunned, staring blankly at the tears that kept falling, Wan Xiaodong didn't know why the second baby was crying, but the tears made Wan Xiaodong feel uncomfortable, the corners of his mouth drooped and his eye circles turned red As if disgusted, Wan Xiaodong called Tao Wei's hands with slightly calloused hands, "Why are you crying, don't cry."

Wan Xiaodong's rough voice but trembling made Tao Wei unable to tell what it was like at this moment. He held down the big fat hands that blocked his eyes and tried hard to suppress the choking in his throat.

The one who didn't say a word just shed tears silently, and the one who was full of distress but didn't know why she shed tears. The two connected hands of the two children made Zhang Guoqin feel a kind of unexplainable sadness in his heart. Zhang Guoqin knew today that Tao Wei was actually afraid. Yes, he was afraid. He was afraid of stealing the love of the tiger and losing the friendship he got.

Zhang Guoqin, who stretched out his arms to put his arms around the two children, was happy for Wan Xiaodong's innocence and felt distressed for the extremely humble Tao Wei.

Holding the two children in their arms, Zhang Guoqin, who was slowly calming the two children down, let go of his arms until he heard a slight struggle in his arms. He looked down at the two brothers who were looking at each other and grinning. Zhang Guoqin, who was relieved, took a picture alone a slap.

It suddenly occurred to me that Zhang Guoqin, who was planning to deliver things to the two children today, glared at the plan to make a fool of himself, pulled the two brothers to slap each of their buttocks, and then urged Zhang Guoqin, who was about to wash their faces and go to training, to tell the two brothers to come over at night. leave in a hurry.

Without the shackles that had been suppressed for a long time, Tao Wei, who returned to the training ground again, found Yang Guocheng, thanked him and apologized, and after being slapped by Yang Guocheng, he began to warm up with a smile.

And Wan Xiaodong, who was pulled down by Wentian, twitched his face and looked at the slope that made him gnash his teeth, muttering why Erwa only needed to run on the playground but he had to climb on the slope, muttering to make Wentian angry Joyful, he pinched Wan Xiaodong's still round face and drove Wan Xiaodong uphill.

Tired from two hours of short-distance sprint practice, Wan Xiaodong stretched out his tongue, puffing and puffing. When the whistle finally sounded, Wan Xiaodong, panting with his tongue out, moved to Tao Wei, who was also tired and had blurred eyes, and said Wentian was bandit.

Sitting on the small stool and looking at Wan Xiaodong who was still full of energy, Tao Wei smiled, and glanced at Wen Tian who didn't know what he was muttering to Yang Guocheng. The joyful Wen Tian in his eyes let Tao Wei know that Wen Tian was real. I really like the simple and honest Wan Xiaodong.

After a short rest for 10 minutes, to see if there was still time, and the morning training was over, Wan Xiaodong and Tao Wei dragged their exhausted bodies back to the dormitory to change their clothes. Wan Xiaodong was distressed and puzzled by the scuffed and fluffed sportswear.

Soaking the dirty clothes in the basin, wiping his hair with hot water, Tao Wei, who was sitting on the edge of the bed to sweat off, wondered whether to buy two more pairs of shoes. The sportswear was still wearable, but the shoes were a bit worn out. Two pairs of sports shoes per person were no longer enough as the training intensity increased, and the soles of the shoes were too worn, and Tao Wei wondered whether to buy a watch for Wan Xiaodong.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, there are not many people in the training team. If all the players come back, Wen Tian, ​​who is divided and lacking skills, will probably hand over the training tasks to Wan Xiaodong. At that time, the importance of the watch will be reflected, although Tao Wei is more inclined to buy a stopwatch, but Tao Wei has no impression of buying that thing there.
