The first time Wei Cheng knew what happened to Ke Zhiyan when she was young and what Luna did to her was when Ke Zhiyan took her to find Joanna and had nearly two hours of psychological counseling.

For Wei Cheng, it was a tense two hours. For the first time, she knew that Ke Zhiyan would come back every year to receive psychological counseling, and at this time, she might be toasting with her family to celebrate the New Year.

On the way home from Joanna's house, she had a long conversation with Ke Zhiyan. Ke Zhiyan showed her the past layer by layer. The bloody past was mentioned by her in a few words ,"It's in the past."

After Ke Zhiyan finished speaking, he realized in a trance that it had really been a long time.

When they got home, there were only the two of them in the house, Ke Zhiyan dragged out a dusty box from the storage room under the stairs, picked and picked in it, and finally there were only two Western swords left.She didn't touch it with her hands, and kicked the sword out by buckling the box with one foot.

"Is that it?" Wei Cheng asked, squatting down and looking at the two swords lying on the ground. There were traces of use on them, and they were not cleaned well after the last use. Parts of the blades had oxidized traces up.

"Ke Lvyan kept lying to me that it tolerated them all." Ke Zhiyan was standing with her hands in her pockets, but when she saw Wei Cheng squatting down, she simply sat on the ground at the same height as Wei Cheng, "But after all, this is her first Regular swords, if it wasn't because I insisted on playing with her, they would definitely be hung in her room by Ke Lvyan as a souvenir."

"Then how did you find out?"

"It was about 12 years old. Not long after that incident, once they were not there, I suddenly wanted to play football, so I rummaged in the utility room." Ke Zhiyan said, "It turned out to be covered in dust, football I didn’t find it, but after seeing these two swords, I was so frightened that I had nightmares for several nights in a row.”

Wei Cheng didn't answer, she stretched out her hand to hold Ke Zhiyan's hand, Ke Zhiyan turned his head to look at her, felt something, then lowered his head to look at the hands they held.Wei Cheng's fingertips rest on the edge of the wristband on her wrist.

Ke Zhiyan smiled, "Actually, the scar has healed a long time ago, it hasn't even been a year."

Wei Cheng asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Ke Zhiyan remained silent, she stared at her wrist wearing a wrist guard, pursed her lips and moved her fingers slightly.

"It was very painful at the beginning. I can't remember how much it hurt now, but I still remember clearly the darkness when I entered the gymnasium and the scene where my eyes turned black after being strangled. In fact, compared to Those come, it's just a small injury on the hand, but I don't know why, then I always feel that there is something missing on my wrist than others, I can't look at it at all, even though the scar has healed, I still think it is ugly , very, very ugly."

Wei Cheng's fingertips brushed gently between Ke Zhiyan's wrists, with a sense of comfort, "What about now?"

"I don't feel much anymore. Wearing the wristband is because I am used to it. It is no different from wearing a watch."

"You still grab your wrists subconsciously when you're scared, don't you?"

Ke Zhiyan looked up at Wei Cheng, Wei Cheng felt the hand of the other party under him tense up, and then slowly relaxed, it could be seen that Ke Zhiyan was trying very hard to restrain himself: "That incident had a great impact on me. , even if it didn't happen, I've seen a psychiatrist for years before that..."

"I know, your sister mentioned it to me." Wei Cheng added softly.

Ke Zhiyan closed his eyes, "Then you should also know that I may need psychological counseling for the rest of my life, in other words..."

"I don't regret it." Wei Cheng interrupted her, and her hand moved from Ke Zhiyan's wrist to her palm again. This time, she interlocked her fingers firmly and unquestionably, but slowly gave Ke Zhiyan enough time to draw her hand.

The two Western swords that Ke Zhiyan dug the box with his feet were finally put back by Wei Cheng. Ke Zhiyan originally planned to do it herself, but her body moved slightly, and before she took her hands out of her pockets, Wei Cheng quickly took her a step.

She smiled mischievously, and put the rest of the things back in place in a good manner.

What she didn't know was that after she returned to China, Wei Cheng took another opportunity to visit Ke's house. Only Ke Luyan was at home, and it could be seen that the two deliberately made an appointment.

Ke Lvyan made a cup of black tea for her in accordance with the etiquette. When he was sitting on the sofa, he turned his head to look at the small room under the stairs, and asked thoughtfully, "Is her IQ too high or am I underestimating her?"

There are only a few places in Wei Cheng Xindao's house where things can be hidden, especially the storage room, which is very conspicuous in terms of name and purpose, and it will be discovered in minutes.

"However, I still underestimated the influence of Lenna on her. Now she is too afraid to hold these two western swords."

"But she dared to use other swords." Wei Cheng recalled the scene when she first came to Ke's house, Ke Zhiyan took down the hanging sword from the wall and "dueled" with Ke Lvyan.

"Would you be surprised if I said it was because of you?" Ke Lvyan asked funny.

Wei Cheng shook her head silently, and became even more silent after hearing Ke Luyan's next sentence, "You might not have seen her from a distance back then, but her hands were shaking when she took the sword."

The "information exchange" between the two ended with Ke Luyan's long sigh, "My silly sister, I dare to do anything for you."

The footsteps of Tokyo are slowly coming. After the National Table Tennis Team lost Wei Orange, the pressure on the team competition increased a lot.There is no shortage of singles in the main team. Zhao Yunhan, Wang Ying, and Ke Zhiyan are the top favorites to win the championship. The main team lacks doubles. The doubles combination that is indispensable in the team competition is urgently needed by the main team.

It's ridiculous to say it out. Ke Guanjun, who once boasted that "the best singles players play doubles", actually depends on the cooperation of his partners to make a good score in doubles.Everyone knows that in the national team, only Wei Cheng, who plays like her, can cooperate with her tacitly, and it depends on the tacit understanding gained from eating and living together for nearly ten years.

Zhong Zheming is worried about team lineup every day. For doubles, Zhao Yunhan and Wang Ying can't move, so they can only work hard on singles. Ke Zhiyan and Sun Yuqing can top for a while, but the rest of the places must be in the Choose from the main layer.

Director Zhong, who lost the opportunity to train for no reason, blamed Ke Zhiyan for all his faults. If it wasn't because she couldn't play doubles, he wouldn't have added experienced veterans to share the pressure of Zhao Yunhan and Wang Ying's singles.

For this reason, Ke Zhiyan was forced to form a team with different sparring partners for Wang Ying and Zhao Yunhan as sparring partners for women's doubles, and then he was beaten up in the doubles field and had his head shaved every day.

Watching Ke Zhiyan's doubles scores at noon every day became one of the few entertainment items for the world champions and Olympic champions in the closed training, and it quickly changed from sharing internally to posting ridicule on Weibo and mentioning it in interviews. And tell it.

The Tokyo World Table Tennis Championships have not yet arrived, and the whole world has already known Ke Zhiyan's doubles score of 0:4 for one month in a row.

Wang Ying mentioned this in the video with Wei Cheng. She was out of breath from laughing, and wiped her tears and asked, "Old Comrade Wei, your partner has been abused like this. When are you going to come back to take revenge?"

Wei Cheng smiled, looked down at her feet, her smile turned into a wry smile, "Come on, come on."

The day before the trip to Tokyo, Ke Zhiyan also mentioned this incident. The two of them were chatting, and Wei Cheng was racking her brains to help the other party decompress. Look at her, the burden on her body is still very heavy - while chatting, Ke Zhiyan suddenly brought the topic to Wei Cheng, "So you will come to the scene?"

Wei Cheng froze for a moment when she was suddenly mentioned, then smiled habitually, and apologized: "Maybe I can't come."

Ke Zhiyan was not surprised, she said "Oh" just after she finished speaking, as if she had already guessed what she would answer.After a few seconds, Ke Zhiyan asked again: "How is your recovery?"

"The doctor said this trend is very optimistic." After apologizing, the smile on Wei Cheng's face became full of smiles.

"What about rehabilitation training?"

"The British who have to fight can't tell the difference between east, west, and north."

Ke Zhiyan smiled briefly, and suddenly asked, "Then when will you come back?"

Wei Cheng calmed down, she watched Ke Zhiyan carefully, not letting go of the loneliness and nostalgia on his face this time.

Wei Cheng suddenly thought that she had seen this expression before. On the day they went to the London Olympics, she saw Ke Zhiyan showing this expression in front of the flower bed outside the Temple of Heaven apartment.At that time, Ke Zhiyan sat quietly on the flower bed and stared at the teammates who were chatting and taking photos not far away. After watching for a long time, she turned her head and wanted to say something to Wei Cheng, but it was a pity that the words were gathered before she could speak. The order was interrupted.Wei Cheng didn't pay attention at the time, and later didn't bother to ask her what she wanted to say at that time.

Thinking about it now—that expression of loneliness mixed with nostalgia—who is she feeling lonely for?Who are you missing again?

Wei Cheng suddenly understood.

Among the people in the original group were Wang Ying, Huang Ziyao, Chen Huan, whom she was familiar with, and many senior veterans who had watched her grow up.There is always a day when everyone retires, just like Du Xuanya did when he retired. He said that we can see each other again after retirement, but does it really happen?There are so many trivial things, how many times can we see each other in a year?We know each other because of the ball, can we hold the racket and play the ball again after meeting?

Ke Zhiyan saw the future at that time.

Wei Cheng let out a long sigh, she suddenly felt blocked in her heart, she felt a little distressed for this delicate and weak child.

Wei Cheng tried to draw a gentle enough smile, and replied in a soft tone: "You play Tokyo well, and when I come back, welcome me with a gold medal, okay?"

Ke Zhiyan frowned, as if she was worried about whether the business was worth it or not. After a few seconds, she let go of her eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, then you have to hurry up, because maybe I will put this gold medal at the bottom of the box at any time." I won’t be too lazy to search for it by then.”
