On the first day when the big team returned to China, Ke Zhiyan and Wei Cheng slept in the room with their heads covered all morning. If it weren't for Ke Zhiyan's cell phone ringing suddenly, the exhaustion brought about by the high-pressure competition in the past few days would probably make them sleep all the time.

Ke Zhiyan dazedly stretched out a hand to touch the phone on the bed cabinet, and slid down the screen to answer without looking at it.

"Hey……"

"Morning, Sweet~"

Hearing this pretentious and crooked girlish voice early in the morning made it uncomfortable for anyone.

Ke Zhiyan woke up immediately, and gritted his teeth: "Why are you calling again?"

"Have you forgotten, Ah Zhi? What day is today?"

"Ke Luyan, talk to me well!"

"Tsk, Ke Zhiyan, you little brat, you promised me to go home today, if you let me go again, I'll go to your team and tell you that you wet the bed when you were a child!"

"It's obvious that you spilled water on my bed while I was sleeping. Didn't Mommy's beating make you remember?"

A chuckle came from the other end, "Ah Zhi, you are too nervous."

Ke Zhiyan remained silent, and the gnashing of teeth just now calmed down, with no expression on his face, he narrowed his eyes and said: "I will go, I have already made an appointment with Joanna."

The girlish voice who deliberately made a fuss disappeared, and Ke Lvyan asked, "Shall I come to pick you up?"

"Well. At 5:[-] p.m., I'll wait for you at the cafe in front of her house." After a pause, he added, "Ah, by the way, I'm going to take another teammate home, and she's staying to attend the closing ceremony of……"

The other end was instantly excited: "Who? A man or a woman? Is it the one you mentioned...the so-and-so? Hey Ke Zhiyan, you are not allowed to hang up..."

Ke Zhiyan hung up the phone without hesitation, turned around and saw that Wei Cheng was also awake, staring at her, and when she saw her looking over, he smiled, "Morning."

"morning."

"Any plans for today?"

"Don't you want to go out and play? I'll show you around London."

After Wei Cheng heard it, her eyes lit up immediately: "I'm going to 221B Baker Street, and King's Cross Station!"

Ke Zhiyan chuckled: "Does JK Rowling know that you are her fan?"

After laughing, Ke Zhiyan decided on the play route as quickly as possible.After the two washed up and had breakfast in the restaurant, they embarked on a day trip to London.

Wei Cheng has been obsessed with British dramas these days. She has watched "Downton Abbey" and "Sherlock" over and over several times. She has been clamoring all day to marry her eldest cousin and Juan Fu. Ke Zhiyan can only cover her face silently, thinking that the entire national table tennis You've lost all face of the team.

So the first stop was naturally to 221B Baker Street.

The two took the subway and got off at Baker Street. When they got off the train, they saw that the bricks on the wall were pasted in the shape of a classic Sherlock Holmes hanging a pipe. Wei Cheng took Ke Zhiyan to take a selfie, and it took nearly 10 minutes to finish the photo.

Ke Zhiyan was speechless: "Can you be more reserved? When you see this, your eyes will shine. Then you will go to the museum later. Do you want to have a full Thomas?"

Wei Cheng smiled: "Zhiyan, you will never understand the heart of a fan girl."

Ke Zhiyan: "I only heard the people next to me say 'Oh, there are two more Sherlock Holmes fans'...so embarrassing!"

Wei Cheng ignored her complaints, took her hand and was about to walk towards the exit, Ke Zhiyan quickly looked at the sign: "Hey, don't run around, the exit is here!"

At the subway entrance, I saw the bronze statue of Sherlock Holmes, still in the classic pose of wearing a deer cap and holding a pipe. Ke Zhiyan held his forehead, and was pulled by Wei Cheng to take a selfie for 10 minutes.

After a lot of tossing and turning, they finally arrived at the gate of 221B Baker Street. There was a queue in front of the gate. Ke Zhiyan did the math, and the two of them could be counted among this group of tourists to go in together.

Wei Cheng couldn't wait for a long time, and Ke Zhiyan felt a little anticipation in his heart.

She is different from Wei Cheng, she read the original "Sherlock Holmes" when she was a child, and she has come here many times on pilgrimage, but this time is the only one she has been looking forward to since she walked in the door.

This is her play memory with Wei Cheng.

After coming out of Baker Street, the two had a light lunch nearby. The fish and chips in front of Wei Cheng, a big foodie, was too hard to swallow. Fortunately, there were sandwiches for sale here.

Wei Cheng took Ke Zhiyan's hand empathetically: "Zhiyan, now I finally know why you were so skinny when you first returned to China."

Ke Zhiyan: "Actually, I quite like fish and chips."

After that, there was nothing special to go shopping. The two ordered a drink at a coffee shop on the corner to pass the time. At two o'clock, Wei Cheng followed the girls from the other team to go shopping. Everyone was about the same age. A group of girls chatted and laughed. How lively.

Ke Zhiyan made an appointment with Wei Cheng to wait at the coffee shop at 04:30. She watched Wei Cheng go out with her teammates from the other team, and then she turned a street and went to a very ordinary house.

She has been here countless times since she was 11 years old. This ordinary house carries all her unbearable memories. Nightmares are here, fear is here, anxiety, restlessness, cowardice, pain... all negative emotions are here .

The door was opened suddenly, and the blond girl looked at Ke Zhiyan without any surprise: "Yan, come in."

Ke Zhiyan's face was a little pale, and he raised his head and smiled, "Joanna."

The two greeted each other, and Ke Zhiyan followed Joanna into the room.

"How are you feeling lately?"

"Fortunately."

"It was a good game."

"Should I thank you for your attention?"

Joanna laughed, "Or white water?"

"Boil it, thank you."

Ke Zhiyan watched Joanna walk from the reception room to the open kitchen, while she sat on the sofa where she always sat.

Joanna gave her the water, and sat on the armchair opposite her. There was some distance between them and the height was almost equal, so that there would be less condescending feeling of oppression.

"So... tell me about the latest?"

"Recently I have been competing, and I have been preparing for the game. Since April this year, I have been running in the training hall and meeting room every day."

"Yan, don't be uncooperative, what you need, you know."

"I'm not uncooperative." Ke Zhiyan frowned and retorted.

Joanna just looked at her in silence.Ke Zhiyan coughed, "Okay, I recently..."

Her expression was a bit tangled, as if she was judging whether she should say it or not. After thinking for a few seconds, Ke Zhiyan said: "I have had frequent nightmares recently. I don't know why. I have had nightmares before, but they are not like this. I always have nightmares." Dreaming about the past, you know, is..."

Ke Zhiyan stopped talking, and frowned at Joanna, "Am I... serious again?"

"Wei Cheng, how about this one?"

Wei Cheng came back to her senses and looked in the direction of the voice. Wang Mengting from the badminton team was holding a short sleeve and asking her. She didn't know what brand it was, but it was very expensive anyway.

Wei Cheng took a look at the short sleeves, which were made of white material with patterns embroidered on them, "Not bad, go try it."

Wang Mengting ran to the fitting room in a hurry, Wei Cheng looked at her watch, it was only three o'clock, and there was still an hour and a half left.

I don't know what Ke Zhiyan is doing.Before the game, I had agreed to take myself around London, but today I only went to Baker Street, and then I acted alone, calling it a meeting with friends.

…Speaking of friends, Wei Cheng suddenly remembered the powerful woman she saw outside the Fox apartment before the game.

Is Ke Zhiyan going to see her?

What will they talk about when they meet?Talk about Ke Zhiyan's performance in London this time?Tan Ke Zhiyan was hailed as the youngest table tennis Olympic champion in history after the women's team?Or talk about their British beliefs, values, academic studies...or Ke Zhiyan's relationship with that woman is getting closer, talk about the origin of the scar on Ke Zhiyan's right wrist, and her nightmare...

Wei Cheng's mood sank inexplicably, just like when she saw that woman for the first time a few days ago, a voice in her heart told her that she was extremely jealous.

Wang Mengting came out of the fitting room, decided to buy the short-sleeved dress, and dragged Wei Cheng to choose clothes, "Come on, this big white dress is very suitable for you, go and try it on."

"..."

"Yan, you have to understand that you have to let yourself relax."

Joanna's voice was serious and calm, with a convincing power.

After Ke Zhiyan babbled about his recent abnormalities, he heard Joanna's answer, and was still a little confused for a while, "I tried to relax, but it didn't work. I restrained it, and it will still happen next time."

"Yan, you are very smart, you know why you have seizures."

Ke Zhiyan was silent for two seconds, closed his eyes and supported his head, "I can't help it. Ever since I got the Olympic spot, I can't help but think about Lenna... It was the same at that time, I got the last one Quota, snatching Lena's position..."

"Yan!" Joanna heard that Ke Zhiyan's voice was wrong, and rushed forward in two steps, only to find that Ke Zhiyan was sobbing with her eyes closed, and her face was full of tears.

"Yan, you understand that it's not your fault, it's Lena's fault, she has a mental problem! Table tennis is a competitive sport, and the winner must be determined on the court. You are in the national team, and you are better than me at this point. Clear. Besides, Wang is not Luna, you can feel the kindness she shows towards you now, right?"

"But, but I... I can't get out, Joanna..." Ke Zhiyan covered his face, tears flowed from between his fingers, not crying loudly, but mourning to the extreme.

"...Joanna, I can't get out...My condition has not improved at all, right...Is it PTSD...You said I wasn't so serious at the time, but now..."

"Yan." Joanna put her hands on Ke Zhiyan's wrists, and gently took off her hand covering her face, with a gentle expression and a gentle tone, Xun Xun said: "You have to have confidence in yourself, you will come out, I Believe in you, and your family also believes in you. Besides, don’t you have a lover? Then you have to work harder to come out, and you don’t want her to worry, right? "
