The next morning, of course, I went to bed late.In fact, I didn't do anything last night, and the kiss that was interrupted suddenly was Wei Cheng's last impression of this Christmas.Not long after Ke's mother left, the two of them also blushed and said good night to each other and went back to the room. Wei Cheng took a shower and retracted under the quilt before she was free for more time.

It's just crazy.But they both know that each other likes this kind of lingering contact.

In the morning it was time to unwrap presents. The gift pool under the Christmas tree was full of packing boxes. Everyone in the Ke family had them. Even Hel got a brand new bone toy—from Ke Zhiyan, of course.

Wei Cheng has not dared to face Ke's mother today. When she unwrapped the gift, she deliberately chose a corner of the crowd, next to Ke Lvyan and Hel, deliberately staying away from Ke Zhiyan.

Ke Lvyan felt strange, in the past, this dead kid in his family was not clinging to Wei Cheng, wishing to be together 24 hours a day, how could he let himself shine in the middle now?Her mind went full circle in her stomach, and suddenly she lowered her voice and whispered to Ke Zhiyan: "You two... did this?"

Ke Zhiyan reacted violently and pushed her away, "Fart, I didn't..."

Mother Ke coughed, and cast her reproachful eyes over. She has been paying attention to the Ke family's language.

Ke Zhiyan's words turned around in his mouth, and he insisted on correcting himself: "I didn't let the fart go, you obviously did it yourself, and you still want to frame me."

Ke Lvyan didn't care about the trumped-up charges. She was smiling so prettily that she almost fell into Ke Zhiyan's arms, but fortunately, this guy still had a conscience, and he still kept his voice down when he spoke: "So you are here Have you been together for so long and the progress hasn't changed at all?"

Ke Zhiyan glared at her, Ke Lvyan raised his hand in surrender: "Okay, take the kiss, right?"

When it comes to kissing, Ke Zhiyan thinks of how he was almost infatuated last night.She coughed twice: "I have already picked it up."

"Oh, I picked it up a long time ago." Ke Lvyan rubbed his chin, no matter how wrong his smile looked, Ke Zhiyan had no doubt that the other party's mind had been linked to a kiss.

Wei Cheng's timely voice saved her, and the attention of the whole family was drawn to her.

In Wei Cheng's hand was a gift box that was half-opened but the contents inside were exposed. Mother Ke smiled happily and watched Wei Cheng take out the contents. It was an off-white sweater.

Mother Ke's gift this year is a hand-knitted sweater, and the three children of the Ke family all share. Ke Zhiyan's is dark blue, and Ke Lvyan's is dark red.

Mother Ke smiled, "Go and try to see if it fits."

Ke Zhiyan gestured a few times in front of him with the sweater, then looked at Wei Cheng's, "Is it a couple's model?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Wei Cheng's face suddenly turned red, she glared at Ke Zhiyan, who shrugged innocently, his eyes were crescent-like.

Ke Luyan came over to perform her wingman duties in a timely manner, her acting skills exploded with innocence and romance: "Yes, Mommy, you are partial, I also want a couple outfit."

"Then you have to bring him home first, but obviously even if you bring it, Mommy won't knit it for you." Ke Zhiyan complained unceremoniously, her face was full of complacency.

Ke Luyan rolled his eyes cryptically, resisting his urge to hit someone.There is no way, this little brat really hit the mark, who made him not the most favored one in the Ke family, and his object is not as good as Wei Cheng to please the elders.

When returning home, the whole Ke family came to see her off. Wei Cheng wore the off-white hand-knitted sweater under her coat, and was hugged by Ke's mother in the crowded airport hall.Wei Cheng suddenly thought of her mother, she left home to play golf when she was young, and every time she left, her mother gave her a hug like this, without even saying a word, the warm hug made Wei Cheng cry.

Wei Cheng has always known that no matter how many podiums she has stood on outside, how many championships she has won, how high her social status is, in the eyes of her mother, she has always been crying in her mother's arms when she was young little child.

She now feels that in the eyes of Ke's mother, she is the same.

The days of returning to the national team were as busy as before. Wei Cheng spent a year wandering around, seeing foreign scenery and making foreign friends.She thought that she would not adapt when she came back, just like it was difficult to adapt abroad at that time, but she didn't.The missed year did not have any impact on her. People from the national team came and went, and there were a few more junior sisters, who were scattered under various head coaches. Chen Zhi only accepted one, and he was still in the second team. After passing Wei Cheng's name, after coming to Chen Ji's subordinates, he found that the youngest world champion sister in the group was also capitalized Cheng Biao.

Wei Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook hands with the little junior sister for a photo autograph, then turned to Ke Zhiyan and said, "You have given me some good names."

"The master is too good, there's nothing I can do about it." Ke Zhiyan pretended to be innocent and said helplessly.

After dismissing Junior Sister, Wei Cheng had the time to respond to Ke Zhiyan's words just now: "Senior Sister Ke, what you said just now was very arrogant."

Ke Zhiyan laughed and took the opportunity to fall into Wei Cheng's arms.Wei Cheng hugged her waist to catch her, turned her face and kissed Ke Zhiyan's cheek: "However, thank you."

In 2015, we approached step by step in the daily training. During the New Year's Eve, everyone slept together late. In recent years, the city has strictly monitored fireworks, and everyone can only see them once on various big days.

Ke Zhiyan was half lying on the bed watching a movie, when it was almost midnight, he was pulled up by Wei Cheng, who was so excited that he seemed to be on a stimulant, the balcony door was open, Ke Zhiyan struggled desperately before he was caught into the open-air balcony and went to put on his pajamas. a dress.

"What's the matter, you haven't been so excited at this time in the past, have you?"

"Hurry up, it will be zero in a minute."

"Okay, okay." Ke Zhiyan glanced at her watch and knew what Wei Cheng was looking forward to. She stared at the watch with reluctance in the cold wind to check the time. The hour hand, minute hand, and second hand slowly overlapped Before "12", she lowered her eyes, raised her head and smiled at Wei Cheng and said, "Happy New Year, Wei Cheng."

Wei Cheng waited for what she wanted, and she was in a good mood, and smiled back at the other party: "Happy New Year, Zhiyan."

Ke Zhiyan wrapped his coat tightly, "So can you go back to your room now, it seems that there will be no fireworks this year."

She wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Wei Cheng.Ke Zhiyan retracted into Wei Cheng's arms, and pressed his face against Wei Cheng's shoulder, "Is there anything else?"

"I want to ask, Zhiyan, are you happy now?"

Wei Cheng asked too seriously, Ke Zhiyan raised his head and looked at the other person's expression carefully, Wei Cheng smiled at her.

Ke Zhiyan nodded: "Happy."

Wei Cheng seemed to let out a long breath: "That's good."

"What's wrong?"

"Because, if you're happy today, you'll be happy all year long."

Ke Zhiyan frowned, slightly disgusted: "What little romance did you read about the Mary Su theory?"

Wei Cheng smiled and patted her on the head.Suddenly, in the night ahead, a colorful firework exploded into the sky.

The two of them leaned against each other to watch the continuous fireworks lighting up the night sky, and the rest of the words turned into a sigh.

"It's such a beautiful night."

The New Year's Eve fireworks marked the beginning of what will be a very busy year ahead. Before the Chinese New Year in the lunar calendar, the national team's first intra-team competition went straight to the World Table Tennis Championships in Suzhou.

The big cycle in the team has always been difficult to play, it consumes physical strength and energy, and the mentality is also tested under the intensive competition, but fortunately, this year is not too upset. Wei Cheng is relieved to see his fourth place, which is not too good. But it was within her expectations.The top three are Ke Zhiyan, Wang Ying, and Sun Yuqing. Zhao Yunhan did not participate in this through competition, and she does not plan to participate in the Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships. After the first stage of the big cycle, she will retire.

Ke Zhiyan was afraid of breaking up. She was afraid a long time ago. Before going to the London Olympics, she and Wei Cheng sat downstairs in the apartment waiting to start. The teammates who grew up playing together were busy. The wind blew over, and it was so hot that people panicked.

She didn't expect that the fearful thing would come so quickly at that time. There were only a few people she knew well in the national team, and they were all too many years older than her. These years of missing each other meant that they were left behind in the end. It will only be her alone.

The last day of the first stage of the through competition was vacated for the retired team members. Zhao Yunhan wrote an amateur poem that could not be called a "poetry" and read it on the stage. , The fans in the stands also cried red-eyed.

Ke Zhiyan lowered her eyes and didn't dare to raise her head, she was afraid that she would shed tears if she moved too much.

Wei Cheng held her hand by her side, "Don't be afraid of childish words, parting is neither the beginning nor the end of your life. Even if everyone retires one day and you are the only one left in the national team, But we can still see it, and the tacit understanding of training and playing together in the team will not change."

"What about you?" Ke Zhiyan asked in a muffled voice, "Is it the same for you?"

Wei Cheng glanced at Zhao Yunhan who bowed to the audience with red eyes after reading the poem, she smiled, took Ke Zhiyan's hand and turned around, and all five fingers slid in along the other's fingertips. "I will also have the day when I retire. It's so annoying to always occupy the position. The provincial club and the national team will be handed over to you sooner or later."

Ke Zhiyan said "Yes", "I will take responsibility."

"There is something I want to tell you." Wei Cheng said suddenly, as if she was deaf to the topic just now, "Actually, I've wanted to say it for a long time, but I never had the chance."

Ke Zhiyan felt that the atmosphere was too depressing, so she forced a smile, "I am willing."

Wei Cheng smiled and shook her head, knowing it was a joke.She took out a string of Buddhist beads from her pocket. The overall color of the beads was the same, and the string was also darker, looking low-key and simple.Athletes are more or less superstitious, and Wei Cheng has a pair of them herself, which she always wears on weekdays.

Ke Zhiyan was puzzled, and just about to say that she didn't believe it, Wei Cheng stretched out her hand to her.Ke Zhiyan stretched out his hand obediently and put it into the opponent's palm, Wei Cheng squeezed it, "The right hand."

Ke Zhiyan hesitated, she looked up at Wei Cheng, Wei Cheng was also looking at her, her eyes full of determination.She took a deep breath and passed her right hand up.

Wei Cheng put the prayer beads on Ke Zhiyan's right hand, did not move her wrist guard protecting her wrist bone, but pressed the wrist guard, and it just fit on her wrist.

"I dragged my mother to ask for the Buddha beads. I wanted to go there in person, but I really couldn't find the time." Wei Cheng helped her tidy up her hands with gentle movements, "When you are scared, you pinch your wrists. Now that you have it, I hope you can touch it first when pinching your wrist, and then think about it, this is what I gave you, as long as you hold on for a while, even if you are afraid, just a few minutes, I will catch up come over."

"Zhiyan, nothing can keep you trapped. If you are afraid, I will protect you from now on."
