The day after returning to the provincial team from Huangshi, Ke Zhiyan and Wei Cheng began to prepare for the National Championships.

The Table Tennis National Championship is one of the most authoritative professional competitions in China. It is known as the "Little World Championships". Many people joke that those who have won the World Championships may not win the championship here, but those who win the championship here will not be able to win the championship here. Definitely a world champion.

Thinking about it carefully, the Chinese table tennis team has always been known in the world table tennis world for its high level, high standard and high quality. You can only participate in the top few places according to the world rankings. This kind of one-in-a-hundred one-in-a-million mechanism greatly limits the performance of the national team members. Therefore, to represent the national team, strength is the most important thing, and luck is also indispensable.

But domestic competitions are different. For the National Championships alone, there are 300 teams at the provincial level, including autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government, the People’s Liberation Army, and industry sports associations. Each team can apply for men’s and women’s singles, men’s doubles, and mixed There are a total of seven events in doubles and men's and women's teams. These participating players add up to [-] people. There is only one champion in each event, but starting from the quarter-finals, every victory is equal to or even slightly better than your own. The life-and-death duel of the team members who are ahead of themselves.

This is a good time to train troops, and it is also a good battlefield where the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

Provincial B team has participated in all seven events this year. Wei Cheng has registered for women's singles, women's doubles, women's team and mixed doubles by herself. Cooperating with teammates in doubles takes up most of her time, and she is so busy that she can only rely on extra training at night for singles.

Ke Zhiyan is better. Weicheng Almighty Wang Grand Slam is very popular, but she only applied for women's singles, women's doubles and women's team. In fact, it is helpless to apply for doubles. The B provincial team can keep up with her and consciously cooperate with her Wei Cheng is the only one.

She needed a partner, and Wei Cheng came along.

She is right-handed, Wei Cheng is left-handed, and they are just a good pair.

So Ke Zhiyan spent most of his time playing singles.

Wei Cheng started to practice mixed doubles in the morning, and Ke Zhiyan practiced singles in the morning. Sometimes she would start a game with Sun Yuqing, but Ke Zhiyan was not serious, and the two tried to draw.

Wei Cheng's doubles is in the afternoon, and Ke Zhiyan has no habit of taking a nap. Wei Cheng has a heavy sense of responsibility. She feels that she can let go of her singles, but she can't even delay the game with her teammates.

It was hard to find a team player for doubles. Wei Cheng started practicing with Ke Zhiyan at one o'clock in the afternoon. The two stood in front of the same net and set up two serving machines opposite each other. He cooperated with Wei Cheng.

At the beginning, she was too aggressive and had no sense of cooperation. She often collided with Wei Cheng who was eager to evade, or stomped on the other side before hitting a few shots.

Wei Cheng was very anxious, but she didn't show it on her face. She always had a senior attitude in front of Ke Zhiyan. She resisted when she lost, cooperated with her to take the initiative, and created opportunities. They stood together and applauded happily.

Ke Zhiyan stopped walking, all the facial features on her face were wrinkled together, the ball machine was still spitting out the ball, all kinds of spinning mixed together, and she stood still, with her hands hanging down, and the racket was held in her hands.

She was looking at the ground, and Wei Cheng followed her line of sight. There was a ball near the baffle. The place was very delicate. According to the rotation, it should not appear there unless the ball was missed.

Wei Cheng thought about it again and understood, isn't that the ball that landed in front of Ke Zhiyan, and she went to catch it but Ke Zhiyan shook it.

This is just a very common small mistake. Although it is not appropriate for athletes like them, the practice field is not a competition field after all. Sometimes teammates do not devote enough energy and fail to keep up at a certain moment. A little mistake is also very common.

If it was another teammate, Wei Cheng would smile at this time with a good temper and say that it's okay to continue, but the teammate in front of him is not someone else.

Wei Cheng walked over to turn off the ball machine, and the arena suddenly fell silent. Ke Zhiyan was interrupted by the sudden silence, and subconsciously looked at the ball machine.Wei Cheng stood in front of her and asked condescendingly, "What are you doing?"

What are you doingWhat are you in a daze for?Do you know how to cooperate?How do you play?

... Who do you think I am?

Wei Cheng's words turned into questioning in Ke Zhiyan's ears, her eyes were blackened by her own anger, her hand holding the racket was trembling slightly, Wei Cheng didn't see it, she was still waiting for Ke Zhiyan's answer.

Ke Zhiyan muffled for a while, "I want to go out to catch my breath."

Without waiting for Wei Cheng's reaction, she walked towards the door and left the venue. It was a sunny day outside, the sun was shining, and there was no shelter for at least a hundred meters outside the building.

Ke Zhiyan squinted his eyes and went down the steps, subconsciously trying to block it with his hand, only to feel that the weight was wrong when he lifted it up.She still had a racket in her hand.

Ke Zhiyan wanted to throw it away for a moment, but after thinking about it for a second, he was reluctant, the racket was too expensive, and a customized pair would be worth the prize money of a World Cup championship, not to mention whether he could get along with him.

Ke Zhiyan really didn't have that spare money. She didn't participate in many competitions these years, and the prize money was also small. The ones that flowed the most went into Joanna's wallet. guest bedroom.

Wei Cheng's home in City B is there. Now that the community is being re-planned, another building needs to be built. Ke Zhiyan plans to buy a house in the new building, but he has to save it for a few years after all the calculations.

Outside of the national team dormitory in China, she only has the provincial team dormitory. It stands to reason that it is normal to buy a house. Wei Cheng doesn't know the twists and turns in her heart. The guest bedroom is still empty.

Anyway, after living in the dormitory for so many years, I got used to it, and Ke Zhiyan's moving here won't affect anything.

Ke Zhiyan asked: "I'm living in your guest bedroom now, what about after you get married?"

Wei Cheng was stunned by the question and couldn't answer. She laughed and laughed for a while, but didn't answer.

Ke Zhiyan didn't have to ask her to say something, she smiled understandingly: "Look, so it's better for me to buy a house earlier, and then I can go to your house for a meal or something."

In fact, it’s all because of Wei Cheng.

Ever since she went to Du Xuanya's house, something was wrong, and I don't know what the two of them talked about while avoiding Wang Ying. After Wei Cheng came back, her whole attitude towards her changed a lot. These were all subconscious actions. Cheng herself can't feel it, and neither can others. Ke Zhiyan can, and she can feel Wei Cheng's every move.

Wei Cheng was avoiding her, as if she suddenly wanted to draw a line between her and Wei Cheng, as if she asked Wei Cheng where she was going after she got married, but Wei Cheng couldn't answer, now Wei Cheng's whole attitude is as if it happened overnight Suddenly, she realized that Ke Zhiyan had grown up and should have her own independent space, and she should stay away from her in private.

Ke Zhiyan thinks that he is mentally unhealthy, which normal person will have a psychiatrist after the age of 11 and go for regular checkups?She thought too much about things, and she unconsciously thought one more step.Wei Cheng grew up with Du Xuanya, like Bai Yueguang's cinnabar mole, relying on each other for everything.Who knows what Wei Cheng has in mind for Du Xuanya.

Possibly a sisterhood.It may also be someone like her, who can't say or can't say, what she thinks in her heart is to swallow the life in front of her alive, eat all the blood and bones, so what if she doesn't want to.

It's a pity that Ke Zhiyan's hidden skills are too high without a teacher. After so many years standing beside Wei Cheng, she has been glorious, and she is very talented. The coaches are counting on her to take over. Every routine psychological test is just a formality. Anna has learned the rules a long time ago.

The deeper she hides, the darker the dark alley at night becomes. Wei Orange is like a solitary lamp, dimly shining in the darkness, and will be swallowed up sooner or later.

The dream on the eve of London was just a wedge, just like hypnosis must be stimulated by key words. When Ke Zhiyan is activated, the switch is difficult to turn off again.

Wei Cheng is the only one who can save her, but unfortunately she doesn't know it.

Ke Zhiyan sat alone for a while holding her right wrist in the shadow of the building, and all the thoughts in her mind were taken back by her one by one.When she tidied herself up, she got up, with a slightly hesitant look on her face, but her eyes were dim.

She took out her phone and switched back to the English keyboard to edit a text message.

The normal practice time for provincial team B is 02:30 in the afternoon. Ke Zhiyan entered the training hall before then. Several teammates had already arrived in the gym. Ke Zhiyan nodded and said hello, without saying a word.

She went straight to the table where she had been before, and Wei Cheng was sitting behind the fender to rest. When she saw her coming, she had just taken a big sip of water, and the water was still bulging in her cheeks.

Ke Zhiyan walked over, and suddenly stretched out his finger through the baffle and lightly poked her cheek.Wei Cheng didn't tense for a moment, moved, eyes bent down, she stretched out her hand and pinched Ke Zhiyan's fingers, first pinched the fingers, and then even held the whole hand.

"Don't make trouble." Wei Cheng swallowed the water, "Why are you acting like a three-year-old?"

Ke Zhiyan smiled, and gestured with the racket, "I'm done, do you want to practice?"

"Practice, of course." Wei Cheng said, "I'm still waiting to win the championship... You go to warm up first, and I'll get back to you."

Ke Zhiyan walked back to the center of the field, carefully placed the racket on the table, stretched his body and began to warm up.

Wei Cheng was still sitting, sending messages through the baffle, holding the phone with both hands, as if to prevent being seen by others.

She was editing the message on the text message interface, and a large chat history from a few minutes ago had already been displayed.

Wei Cheng: I would like to find time to talk to you about the childish nightmare.
