Return to the top of the road to champions

After dinner, Tao Wei, who was wandering carelessly, dragged Wan Xiaodong, who was not willing to go back, and left the snack street. Along the way, although he followed Wan Xiaodong laughing and laughing as if nothing happened, the panic in his eyes never subsided. Tao Wei, who was getting more and more tense because of the silent Rong Boyuan sitting beside him, did not let out a sigh of relief until he saw the gate of the national team.

Getting out of the car and walking to the gate, he waved his hand at Tao Wei, who forced a smile on Rong Boyuan's face. Seeing Tao Wei's forced smile, Rong Boyuan, who had dark eyes, pressed his lips tightly and rubbed the top of Tao Wei's head, " Let's go back."

The big warm hand on top of the head made the smile on Tao Wei's face stiffer, he nodded, and ran away with Wan Xiaodong.

With his back gradually disappearing, Rong Bo stood silently for a long time, until the whole national team was completely dark, then he turned and left slowly.

Walking all the way back to the station, back to the dormitory, Rong Boyuan, who was lying on the bed, closed his eyes to relieve the fatigue of the day. Tao Wei's panic was not unnoticed by Rong Boyuan. At that moment, I was a little flustered, but I have to say that after the panic, I felt relieved.

Thinking of Tao Wei's forced smile and the panic in his eyes, Rong Boyuan who was lying in the dark frowned slightly. Rong Boyuan didn't want to do anything, not because he cared about the military uniform on his body, but because Tao Wei's identity as an athlete was too much. sensitive.

Feelings are not a game that can be willful and reckless. If you are not fully sure, if it is based on hurting Tao Wei, then Rong Boyuan would rather guard it silently.

With a secret sigh, Rong Boyuan, who stopped thinking about it, knew that it would be better not to show up for the time being due to Tao Wei's sensitivity. The long wait has taught Rong Boyuan to use memory to warm his lonely heart, regardless of the relationship. Whether or not they can get a response in the end, the memories of a meeting are enough for Rong Boyuan to spend a long life.

Not to mention what kind of plans Rong Boyuan had, returned to the national team, sent away the relaxed and happy Wan Xiaodong, and the forced smile on Tao Wei's face, who gently closed the door, disappeared with a click, and went back to the bed silently , Tao Wei, who threw himself on the bed and tied his head under the quilt, rubbed his scalp irritably.

At that moment, although Rong Boyuan didn't say anything, there was no concealed love for Tao Wei in those dark eyes. Sheng, since returning to the world, Tao Wei has no intention of accepting any relationship, not because he is used to loneliness but because he is afraid. Whether it is timid or worrying, Tao Wei is indeed afraid.

To this day, Tao Wei can't forget the deep-seated pain and boundless regret. Tao Wei does not deny that he has a good impression of Rong Boyuan, but this good feeling has nothing to do with love, but... Habit, yes, It's a habit. Although the two of them don't spend much time together, even if it's just for a while, the indifferent and considerate of the silent Rong Boyuan will give Tao Wei a sense of serenity, as if lying in the sea and wandering with the waves, leisurely And comfortable.

But now, shaking his head vigorously, while rejecting this slightly nostalgic attachment, he also shook off the slight hesitation in his chest for an instant.

As if a big problem had been solved, Tao Wei, who smiled again, did not see the trace of reluctance in the smile on his face, nor did he see the sourness in his eyes that he didn't even know.

Time flies, and the two short days are fleeting. On the afternoon of February 2, a group of people representing the national team to participate in the Winter Asian Games held in the provincial capital of H province set off. The Chinese team sent 3 people for the Asian Winter Games. The delegation, and the team leader is still the former Winter Olympics team leader, Huang Zhong.

Getting on the train at [-]:[-] p.m., the athletes and coaches who were arranged in a compartment found their own team seats and put down their luggage. Because of his young age, Tao Wei was placed on the upper berth and put his backpack on the luggage rack. Tao Wei sat on the Beside Ma Deming, leaning lazily on the quilt, Tao Wei yawned.

The faint bruises in Tao Wei's eyes made Ma Deming frowned, "Did you rest well?"

Ma Deming's inquiry made Tao Wei laugh. Tao Wei, who was full of helplessness in his heart, didn't know what was wrong. irritable.

Ma Deming, who patted Tao Wei's head and signaled Tao Wei to lie down for a while, sat on the opposite bed, and did not force him. Tao Wei took off his shoes and lay on Ma Deming's bed, covered with a quilt. After a while, Tao Wei woke up. Little snore.

"Old Yang, do you think this kid has something on his mind?"

Ma Deming's hesitant question made Yang Guocheng shudder, smiled and shook his head, "No, I guess I was a little excited when I finally got home. It's the first time I go home in five years, and I can't sleep on anyone. Tao Wei He is still a child when he is sensible.”

Yang Guocheng's sighing reassurance made Ma Deming think about it. Ma Deming, who didn't think too much, then lowered his voice and asked about Yang Guocheng's assistant. No matter how healthy Yang Guocheng was, after all, he was over 60 years old. After research by the superiors, it was decided to assign an assistant to Yang Guocheng, but whether the assistant should be selected by Yang Guocheng himself or the country has not yet been determined. According to Ma Deming, since it is an assistant for Yang Guocheng, Yang Guocheng should look comfortable.

After muttering all afternoon, after seeking Yang Guocheng's opinion, Ma Deming was completely relieved, stretched his stiff waist, stood up and strolled, and left the small cubicle, leaving behind Yang Guocheng and Shen Shen who gradually put away their smiles. Tao Wei who fell asleep.

Tao Wei, who slept until six o'clock in the evening, was still a little dazed when he was woken up by Yang Guocheng. He managed to take a mouthful of food, and Tao Wei, who climbed onto the upper bunk again, fell asleep again. Until two o'clock in the middle of the night, Tao Wei woke up suddenly Wei couldn't fall asleep anymore, looking at the time and listening to the snoring sound from under the bed, Tao Wei who was lying on the bed turned over.

Tao Wei got up quietly and left his bed. Tao Wei, who was about to go to the bathroom, lowered his head and walked to the bathroom at the end of the corridor. In the dark carriage, there were high or low sounds of mouth smacking or teeth grinding accompanied by the sound of rattling rails. Feeling very happy, the funny Tao Wei walked through the long carriage and came to the bathroom. After using the toilet, he gently closed the door and walked to the sink.

He stared blankly at the tall figure, Rong Boyuan, who stood in the open space where the two carriages were connected and looked out the window.

I don't know how long I stood there until I felt a chill, and Tao Wei, who lowered his eyes, turned around and walked back. His hurried steps were quickly covered by the dim compartment, and Tao Wei, who didn't see or deliberately ignored the gaze coming from behind him, Tao Wei, who didn't expect that Rong Boyuan would be on the same train, hurried back to his seat, and Tao Wei, who climbed to the upper bunk and covered his head with the quilt, was panting heavily.

The tightly clenched hands turned white from the exertion, tried hard to adjust the flustered mood, pulled the small backpack next to the pillow, took out the small tape recorder and turned it on, put the earphones in the ear, the soothing soft music played in the ear Tao Wei slowly adjusted his mood to the beat of the music until he fell asleep again.

It was dawn, and the train station of City A gradually appeared in front of his eyes. Tao Wei, who had washed his face and packed his backpack, took down his luggage and put it under his feet. Tao Wei, who was waiting to get off the train, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar city.

At this moment, Tao Wei, who had nothing in his mind, stood up unconsciously and looked out the car window. He came back and returned to the black land where he was born and raised, and returned to the front of his father and fellow villagers.

With a little throbbing, at ten o'clock in the morning, Tao Wei, who followed the national team off the train, saw Yu Chengfei, Wen Tian, ​​Zhang Guoqin, Geng Erfeng and others who had received the news early and were waiting on the platform.

Tao Wei, whose eyes were hot, became eager to walk, "Er baby, tiger egg."

Geng Erfeng, who was squatting at the station before dawn, saw the two children who had grown up, couldn't hold back the urgency in his heart any longer, and shouted loudly while pulling his neck.

Anxiously glanced at Ma Deming, Ma Deming nodded with a smile, pushed Tao Wei down, and Tao Wei, who was grinning all over his face, rushed towards Geng Erfeng who was already pushing forward.

At the same time, a strong figure also rushed out from the speed skating team. Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong, who ran in front of Geng Erfeng one after the other, were dressed in red sportswear representing the national team, which immediately made Geng Erfeng red-eyed. Look at that, Geng Erfeng, who couldn't get enough of seeing or touching, grabbed a child with one hand and burst into tears.

"Just come back, just come back."

The introverted Wan Yonggui repeated a sentence with a slight trembling, five years, and five years since he left, this longing made the couple often sleepless, not because they didn't want to go to see their children, but in the end they were just one Farmers, afraid of embarrassing their children and delaying their future, the couple endured the deep-seated miss. This time, the couple who received the news early could not express their excitement. This time, preparing for this tomorrow, preparing for that, seems to make up for it. Five years of vacancies, the big tank at home is full, just want to make up for the children.

Not to mention how excited the long-lost group of people felt after meeting, Rong Bo, who walked off the train along the crowd, looked at Tao Wei who was holding Geng Erfeng with red eyes from afar, his dark eyes flickered, and he looked at it quietly for a while. Rong Boyuan, who didn't look back until there was a shout in the distance, quietly left the still crowded platform.

Because of the opening ceremony at night, the group of people who could only talk at the station separated again, but before leaving, Tao Wei also promised that he would go home as long as there was no competition.

On February 1996, 2, at 4:28 in the evening, the country's top leader announced the opening of the third Asian Winter Games.

After the delegations from Japan, Chinese Taipei, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, India, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Thailand, South Korea, Tajikistan, Mongolia, Macao and Lebanon entered the arena in turn, the Chinese delegation accompanied the "Singing The music of "Motherland" entered the venue.

Accompanied by the flag-raising song of "Glory Belongs to Asia", the Olympic Council of Asia flag was raised on the field.

Standing in the team of the Chinese delegation, waiting for the short moment to light the torch, Tao Wei was shocked by the appearance of a figure in just a few minutes, and the pride on Wan Xiaodong's face, who was still proud just a moment ago, froze. Yes, the loudspeaker rang in my ears, "Shi Yang, a former Chinese speed skater..."

Wan Xiaodong couldn't remember what he said, only the thorn-like figure flashed through his eyes and imprinted in his mind, his spirit was high, and Shi Yang with a solemn face held up the sacred flame and lit the sacred flame at the main venue of the Asian Winter Games.

The violent heartbeat fell slowly, as if the whole heart was wrapped in ice, the pure and innocent Wan Xiaodong lowered his eyes, and retracted his earnest eyes. When he raised his head again, Wan Xiaodong's eyes were full of tears. There was no Shi Yang in the innocent eyes, as if the thorn in his heart was pulled out in an instant, and it seemed to quietly cover up the reluctance in the past.

The flashing figure disappeared, where Shi Yang, who stepped down, went. Tao Wei didn't know, and didn't want to know. Tao Wei, who had been a little flustered since Shi Yang appeared, saw Wan Xiaodong's every move clearly. Dong lowered his head and then raised his head, although the time was very short, but Tao Wei knew that no matter how much Shi Yang left in Wan Xiaodong's heart, Wan Xiaodong forcibly rejected him at this time.

I can't tell what kind of feeling I feel in my heart, there is distress for Wan Xiaodong, complaints for Shi Yang, and helplessness for feelings. I closed my eyes, left the scene silently, moved to Wan Xiaodong's side silently, and pulled him silently. From Wan Xiaodong's cold fingers, he silently comforted and encouraged him.

The opening ceremony ended at ten o'clock in the evening, and Tao Wei, who pulled Wan Xiaodong directly to the team leader and the coach to ask for leave, after Zhang Guoqin repeatedly promised that he would not delay the next day's game, Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong were taken away by Zhang Guoqin who had been waiting up.

And when Shi Yang, who had finally dealt with all the inquiries, found the place excitedly, Wan Xiaodong and Tao Wei had already left, and the empty room was full of loneliness except for the unpacked luggage.
