Mr. Incompetent Bodyguard

05:30 pm, Yokohama, Japan.

The sun had already set in the west, and except for an area near the window that was yellowed by the setting sun, the rest of the stadium was already submerged in darkness.The gecko on the wall seems to have fallen asleep.Suddenly, a sound of footsteps from far to near broke the silence, and the gecko crawled away as if awakened with a start.

With a bang, someone flipped the switch.Eight spotlights on the dome were on, instantly illuminating the entire venue.

The leading venue manager turned around, said a few words in Japanese to the few people standing behind him, and gestured to them.Although Shen Qingyu couldn't understand Japanese, he could understand the meaning of inviting them in - this was where he was going to play against Noguchi Osawa tomorrow, and he came to familiarize himself with the venue one day in advance.

"Let's go in." After Zuo Fengrui nodded to the administrator, he took the lead and walked towards the octagonal cage in the center of the venue.

Shen Qingyu just finished the weighing ceremony this morning, and he is still wearing the competition uniform at the moment.When he got outside the octagonal cage, he took off his coat and shoes, put on his gloves, turned over and jumped into the cage.Zuo Fengrui found a pair of punching targets from his backpack, and followed him into it.

"Are you ready?" Zuo Fengrui asked.

After Shen Qingyu finished warming up, he tried to throw a few punches in vain.Due to dehydration and weight loss, he hardly practiced boxing this week.Feeling almost done, he nodded towards Zuo Fengrui: "Okay, come on."

Zuo Fengrui set up the target and began to give orders: "Front hand! Back hand! Hook! High sweep!..."

This is the last training before the game. The main purpose of the training is to get familiar with the field and recover.In order to save energy, the intensity of training will not be great.

After practicing for about half an hour, both of them were sweating a little.Shen Qingyu made a gesture to Zuo Fengrui, indicating that it was almost done, Zuo Fengrui threw away the target and sat down to rest on the ground.

Zuo Fengrui asked Shen Qingyu: "How do you feel?"

Shen Qingyu raised his shoulders and wiped the sweat off his cheeks: "It's okay."

The octagonal cage has an international standard, and the hardware facilities are all the same, so there is no point in adapting to the venue; moreover, there is almost no need to adjust the time difference when coming to Japan from China.So for Shen Qingyu, the biggest disadvantage of away games is actually the audience.But this is not yet experienced today.

Shen Qingyu turned his head and looked around the entire venue.After a while, he closed his eyes and silently thought about tomorrow's situation.

In this exotic venue, the game will be full of Japanese spectators.Those people will cheer for their own players passionately; once he gains the upper hand tomorrow, there will be countless boos and boos waiting for him; and whenever his opponent has the upper hand, the stadium will be overwhelming The applause drowns out...

This is undoubtedly an unappetizing imagination for athletes, and the ring is the stage where they expect themselves to be recognized.But Shen Qingyu doesn't care, he has enough psychological adjustment ability to meet this scene - because in the past years, he has long been used to being left out; also because tomorrow there will be the most important audience to watch his performance.

Not long after, Shen Qingyu opened his eyes.He erected a pair of gloves on the ground, and bowed to the gloves a few times.

"What are you praying for?" Zuo Fengrui beside him couldn't help asking.

"I don't know." Shen Qingyu put away his gloves after worshiping, "Worship to any god who can hear it."

"..." This is the first time I have seen Zuo Fengrui who is so superstitious and pragmatic.

However, it may be understood that compared with the previous games, Shen Qingyu's heart is not so confident.

Zuo Fengrui frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything after all.He stepped forward and put his arms around Shen Qingyu's shoulder: "Let's go, go back and rest early."

Shen Qingyu nodded, and left the stadium with the coach.

……

After dinner, Shen Qingyu made a video call to Ji Jin in the hotel.

In order to get a full rest tonight, he didn't live with Ji Jin - in fact, after arriving in Japan, he has been busy with pre-match preparations, and he didn't even meet Ji Jin.The first face of the two will be seen directly in the boxing gym tomorrow.

Almost as soon as the call was made, the video was connected on the other side.

"Little fish!" Ji Jin's face appeared on the screen of the mobile phone, his eyes eagerly looking like an earnest lamb.

The moment Shen Qingyu saw Ji Jin, the corners of his mouth raised upwards: "A Jin, where are you?"

"In the hotel. At noon, I went shopping with my cousin to buy some clothes, and I haven't gone out since I came back in the afternoon." Ji Jin turned the camera of his mobile phone so that he could see the suite he lived in. "At night, I live in the inner room. Live outside."

Shen Qingyu nodded.

"What have you been doing today?" Ji Jin asked.

"I went to weigh myself during the day." Shen Qingyu trivially reported his day's itinerary to his lover, "Didn't I have to catch a plane this time, so I didn't dare to dehydrate too hard for fear of running out of energy on the way. As a result, last night I I weighed 0.5 kilograms more, and several coaches were dying of anxiety. Fortunately, when I weighed it today, it dropped, which was very dangerous, and it was 0.2 kilograms less than the standard line..."

"In the afternoon, I went to the competition venue to get familiar with it. The venues in Japan are so small, and the auditorium is at least one-third smaller than ours..."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and suddenly asked Ji Jin, "Ah Jin, will you come to watch my game tomorrow?"

Ji Jin didn't keep up with his sudden change of topic, and nodded vigorously after being stunned: "Of course!"

The conversation was temporarily interrupted here.

Shen Qingyu watched Ji Jin silently through the screen.Ji Jin's expression didn't seem as firm as his tone sounded, he was still a little hesitant and apprehensive.However, his hesitation and apprehension did not exceed a certain category that Shen Qingyu was worried about, so it was fine.In other words, if Ji Jin didn't even have this bit of hesitation and apprehension, Shen Qingyu would worry about whether he was pretending to be calm.

After a while, Shen Qingyu said: "You and Sister An are here tomorrow, I can definitely hear your cheers."

Ji Jin was puzzled: "Is our location very close to the boxing ring?"

Their tickets are in the relatives and friends seats, right in the first row of the audience area, but Shen Qingyu didn't mean to say this: "No. Isn't this a foreign competition? I can't understand Japanese, so you cheer me up in Chinese, I You must have heard it most clearly."

Only then did Ji Jin suddenly realize that Shen Qingyu was playing an away game, and tomorrow the auditorium must be full of cheering spectators for his opponent... Thinking that Shen Qingyu would be booed by the audience, his anger and determination to win immediately froze. Be aroused.

He gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Damn it, don't worry! As far as my lung capacity and my voice penetrating power - I don't even need a microphone. Tomorrow I can cover everyone's voices !"

Shen Qingyu couldn't help being amused: "So powerful?"

"It must! Don't you believe it?"

"I believe it, of course I believe it."

Unknowingly, Shen Qingyu's tense shoulders gradually relaxed.And Ji Jin's legs, which had been shaking endlessly since the beginning, stopped shaking.It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that Shen Qingyu needed to rest early, and the two hung up the phone reluctantly.

……

In a blink of an eye, it's game day.

"You can enter the venue early, come with me."

In the evening, the staff of the club met Su An and Ji Jin and prepared to take them into the arena through the VIP passage.At the same time, there was also a long queue at the main entrance of the venue, and the audience who bought tickets were looking forward to it.

Su An couldn't help but glance at Ji Jin.Most of Ji Jin's face was covered by the shadow of the peaked cap, only judging from the exposed chin, he was very calm - if his fingers hadn't pinched her arm almost to the bone.

Ji Jin took two deep breaths, stepped forward, and walked in with the staff.

"I'm entering the arena." After sitting down, Ji Jin took a picture of the ring and sent it to Shen Qingyu.However, Shen Qingyu was preparing backstage and did not reply to him.

The spectators at the game site entered one after another, and at the same time, the crowd from the live broadcast room on the other side of the ocean also flooded in.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa finally let me wait!!!"

"I can watch Brother Yu's game again!"

"Please kindly tell me who is Shen Qingyu's first appearance?"

"Brother Yu is the finale? Well, I'll see it later."

"Family, hurry up and use the barrage to prop up Brother Yu's noodles!"

While there was still some time before the start, the photographer was busy adjusting the equipment.The camera lens slowly swept across the empty arena, and then stopped in the direction of the auditorium.

The barrage continued to brush Shen Qingyu in large numbers, and many cheered for other contestants.Suddenly, a few strange barrages floated over.

"Wow, shit, shit, I think I saw Ji Jin!"

"Is that the one with the peaked cap Ji Jin? Am I blind?"

"Oh my god, Ji Jin also went to Japan to watch the game? The relationship between them is so good!"

These days, the barrage mixed with the text on the screen did not attract many people's attention. Soon, the cameraman turned away from the camera.

Not long after, the host came on stage and announced the official start of the game.
