"Remove the highest score - 9.6 points, remove the lowest score of 9.4 points, the No. 10 player finally scored 9.55 points, and the next player is No. 11, Lin Ru..."

Gu Haiping splashed two handfuls of water on his face, the refreshing coolness completely dispelled the heat from his whole body.He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then let it out slowly.There are still two players, and it's his turn.Even after participating in so many competitions, I still feel nervous before going on the court.There was a moment of silence in the arena, and then there was a burst of warm applause, presumably the participating players performed well.Gu Haiping raised his eyes and smiled confidently at himself in the mirror, his thick eyebrows raised.It is undeniable that he likes this kind of challenge and likes to be the focus of the audience, especially the moment when he stands on a high podium and accepts applause and congratulations from everyone.

He took out his handkerchief, wiped off the foam on his face carefully, and shook the stand-up collar of his clothes.The young man in the mirror was dressed in a milky white training suit, with a crimson belt tightly tied around his waist, the end of which hung down naturally.Gu Haiping raised his fist against himself, full of confidence.

Suddenly, the figure in the mirror swayed, and there was a person standing behind Gu Haiping, leaning lazily by the door, smiling casually at him.

Gu Haiping turned around, turned a blind eye and was about to walk away, the man leaned sideways, stretched out his legs to the other side, blocking his way: "There are two more people who will be your turn, don't be in such a hurry."

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you." Gu Haiping glanced at the other party coldly, "I said before, I won't be an actor, you better save your energy."

"Why bother, so rejecting people thousands of miles away." Guan Shunwen said casually, "I'll talk about that later, I came to watch your competition. It looks like dancing, it's pretty pretty."

Gu Haiping really disliked the other party's tone of voice, blatantly complimenting and sarcasm, hiding the knife in his smile, obviously he didn't like this kind of performance martial arts competition, but he had to mention it both inside and outside the words.Gu Haiping frowned, and asked impatiently: "Watch the game, please go to the auditorium, I'm going to play." Guan Shunwen remained motionless, and the two held each other for a while, until the host's voice came from the hall again: "...No. 11 The contestant finally scored 9.34 points..." Guan Shunwen then slowly withdrew his right leg and said with a low laugh, "It's a good comparison, I'm waiting for your good news."

"Thank you, there is no need." Gu Haiping didn't want to say a word to him, turned and left.

Player No. 12 had already entered the field, and he was next. Gu Haiping fully moved the joints of his body on the sidelines, and even took a few deep breaths.Xu Shanlan gave him a thumbs up, cheering for the second senior brother, and Cong Zhanyi nodded slightly.Gu Haiping smiled slightly, and heard the host announce: "The next player is No. 13, Gu Haiping."

Gu Haiping kicked his legs and walked slowly to the center of the arena, clasped his fists and saluted to the surroundings, his eyes swept over, and he saw Guan Shunwen leaning against the column at the end of the corridor, standing out from the orderly auditorium.A sea-level gaze passed over him indifferently, staring ahead, inhaling, raising his hand, and showing his face.

Gu Haiping's set of long fists is perfect, with proper movement and retreat, especially the whirlwind foot 720 in the air. It is high and floating, with a graceful and free and easy posture, which attracted applause from the audience.In the end, Gu Haiping held his fists together to close his momentum, Yuan Tingyue did not show any anger, and looked like a master.Even Cong Zhanyi, who has always been strict and demanding, couldn't help nodding in approval.Xu Shanlan's palms turned red, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

Gu Haiping walked up to his brothers and sisters to talk, but his eyes couldn't help looking at the end of the corridor, Guan Shunwen was still leaning there boneless, meeting Gu Haiping's gaze, one corner of his lips curled up, showing a meaningful smile.

Xu Shanlan followed his gaze and asked casually, "Who is it?"

"It's nothing." Gu Haiping withdrew his gaze, patted Xu Shanlan on the shoulder, and changed the subject, "It's up to you this time, I have to bring back a champion."

Xu Shanlan pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer, his expression was quite calm and calm, as if he had a plan in mind.At this time, the referee had already given the scores, all of which were above 9.6 points, and finally scored 9.8 points. It can be said that the winning ticket is in the hands. Some familiar players came to shake hands with Gu Haiping to express their congratulations.

Gu Haiping sighed softly and said: "It's a pity that Master is not here, otherwise I would be very happy."

Xu Shanlan said, "When you win the championship, let's call Master and Uncle." Just as he was speaking, Cong Zhanyi's cell phone rang, and when he lowered his head, he saw that it was Yin Yi's phone number.The three brothers and sisters looked at each other and couldn't help smiling. The uncle must have calculated the time and called to ask for news.

Cong Zhanyi pressed the answer button and said: "Hello, uncle." He was just about to report Gu Haiping's competition results when Yin Yi tried his best to restrain his sad voice: "Zhan Yi, your father... Maybe it's not working... Come and see him..."

Cong Zhanyi seemed to have been punched hard, he stood there dumbly, his ears were buzzing, Yin Yi didn't hear anything else.Xu Shanlan saw the elder brother's face turned extremely ugly, panicked, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Is it Master..." Gu Haiping was startled, grabbed Cong Zhanyi's arm, and asked: " how?"

Cong Zhanyi said in a low voice: "Master's condition is getting worse, I have to go to America quickly." His tone was extremely calm, without any waves, but at this moment it was even more frightening.

"I'll go too." Gu Haiping said while putting on his coat.

"The awards will be presented in a while." Cong Zhanyi said.

"At this time, what's the point of rewarding?" Gu Haiping was a little annoyed, "I'm so indistinguishable in your eyes. Lanzi will participate in the competition tomorrow, don't you want him to go with you? "Xu Shanlan must go with Cong Zhanyi, no need to ask, even if you want to give up tomorrow's game.It is precisely this that Gu Haiping is angry with, he is also a junior, how can he be so alien to himself, it has been like this since he was a child, and has always been like this.He picked up his competition equipment and said stiffly, "Don't forget, I have been by Master's side all these years, where have you been?!" After finishing speaking, he ignored Cong Zhanyi, turned around and walked Walk.

Cong Zhanyi's gaze flickered, and Xu Shanlan's clear eyes looked at him worriedly: "Brother..."

"I'm fine." Cong Zhanyi patted Xu Shanlan's shoulder, "Let's go too."

Jungle's condition has always been stable, but no one can say anything about cancer. It just got worse overnight, and the cancer cells began to spread, and the rest is just a matter of living.

Several people often have to go abroad for competitions or inspections, and their visas have not yet expired, so it is more convenient to go to the United States.Even so, it was two days after I arrived at the hospital.Yin Yi got the news and sent someone to pick them up at the airport. As soon as they entered the corridor, they saw Yin Yi waiting at the door.Not seeing each other for just a month, Yin Yi became dark and thin, tired, pale, and his eyes were bloodshot, he nodded slightly at them, and said softly: "Go in, I'll wait for you .”

Cong Lin was so skinny that Xu Shanlan almost didn't recognize him at first glance.Conglin was lying on the hospital bed, heard the sound of footsteps, and struggled to sit up, but finally he had no strength and lay down slumped.With tears in his eyes, Gu Haiping hissed, "Master!" He was about to rush over, but was grabbed by Yin Yi.Gu Haiping turned his head in surprise with tears in his eyes, Yin Yi waved his hand lowly at him, motioning him to back away.

Everyone flashed a way, and Cong Zhanyi walked slowly to the bed step by step, looking at the jungle.The father who was strong, victorious, jealous, and stalwart like an iron tower all his life finally came to the end of his life.Cong Zhanyi clenched his fists tightly and called out, "Dad...Dad..."

Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Jungle's eyes, which made the whole person refreshed. Then he closed his eyes, and two lines of muddy tears rolled out from the corners of his eyes.Gu Haiping couldn't hold back anymore, rushed out and beat the wall hard, crying bitterly.Xu Shanlan also burst into tears as he followed the elder brother.In contrast, Yin Yi was much calmer.He sat on the chair beside the bed, leaned over and held Jungle's hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother, it's all here, just say what you have to say."

Jungle sighed faintly, and the ward was filled with awe, only his faint words were heard: "Haiping is a good boy, let him manage the school, I don't worry..." His eyes slowly turned to Xu Shanlan, Xu Shanlan hurriedly approached Bedside: "Master."

"You are a good candidate for martial arts, but...just too lazy... Zhan Yi is also used to you... I can't do this anymore... Good man, you have to have some ambition..."

"It's Master, I will definitely change it in the future..." Xu Shanlan broke down in tears.

Jungle looked at Cong Zhanyi again.Cong Zhanyi knelt by the bed: "Dad..." The father and son looked at each other quietly for a long time, Cong Cong said, "Bury me and your mother together..." He struggled to finish the sentence, taking a long breath Breathing out, he closed his eyes wearily.

From this day on, the three brothers and sisters did not leave the hospital, and took turns serving in front of the master.Yin Yi stayed by the side and refused to leave even a single step.After Cong Cong said those few words, he fell into a coma. Occasionally, he could see his eyeballs rolling under his eyelids. Several times, Yin Yi thought that he was going to open his eyes. After waiting for a long time, it was still in vain.

In this way, he suffered for another six days. On the seventh night, the jungle suddenly woke up, but he had no energy to speak.He just turned his head slightly and stared at Yin Yi.Decades of time spent together, decades of love together day and night, decades of grievances and resentments separated and reunited, all melted in this silent gaze, melted in the moonlight as soft as water, with the blurry Clear memories drift away gradually...

"Brother, I want to eat poached eggs."

"Let Sister Zhang do it for you, I'm practicing."

"What she cooks doesn't taste good. I want to eat what you cook."

"I still have to practice."

"Then will you do it for me?"

"Okay, okay. If you are so picky about food, which daughter-in-law will marry you in the future."

"I don't want a daughter-in-law. Brother, let me be your daughter-in-law, and you fry poached eggs for me."

"The daughter-in-law must be a woman."

"Then you treat me like a girl."

"Nonsense!"...

Conglin suddenly smiled, the Yin Yi in front of him was still the clingy little junior who loved to follow behind and talk nonsense many years ago.He wanted to raise his hand and touch Yin Yi.Even though there were many people around, even though his son and apprentice were there, he just wanted to touch him. Looking back now, it seemed that he had never shown, even if only a little bit, excessive intimacy with this junior in front of outsiders.How many years have passed... Jungle felt sore and bitter in his heart. He raised his hand, feeling that he had exhausted all his strength, but in fact that hand had just been lifted halfway from the side of the bed.

Yin Yi saw the anticipation in Conglin's eyes, he quickly held his senior brother's hand, approached him and asked, "Senior brother, what do you want?"

Jungle made a "crack" sound from his throat, and he wanted to say, "I want to touch you." But he couldn't speak, Yin Yi's figure in front of him began to blur, he opened his mouth anxiously, and exhaled heavily.Yin Yi shouted: "Senior brother...Senior brother!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Haiping rushed out and shouted: "Doctor—doctor—"

Conglin watched as the figure of the junior and younger brother gradually faded away, transforming into nothingness in the white light.It's too late... he thought, it's too late... He exhaled his last breath regretfully and bitterly, and fell into silence.
