my soulmate is a free man

The noisy morning began with the roar of "Williams" from the captain of the US men's volleyball team, Caddy.

Qin Chunxiao held the English vocabulary book for the college entrance examination in his left hand and a croissant in his right hand. He watched Kaidi running down the corridor with his socks on and chasing William with a blank expression on his face.

"Why did you stuff the socks in the bed again!"

Li Ling came out staggeringly: "Are they jogging in the morning?"

Qin Chunxiao: "I think this is the characteristic morning run of the American men's volleyball team."

French breakfast is actually very simple, mostly sweet, mostly bread with butter, jam, coffee or juice, and the portion is not much, I don’t know whether the longevity of the French is related to their restraint in food intake, but athletes will definitely eat it A little more, to ensure that there is enough energy to consume.

For breakfast, Qin Chunxiao ate 2 croissants, 2 boiled eggs, 800ml of orange juice, and a large plate of Provence stew.

Chang Xiaole pressed a piece of paper beside him: "Received information, the six teams will be divided into two groups to play a round-robin match, and the top two teams in the group will enter the semi-finals. Your group is the Brazilian team and the US team."

In other words, the Russian team is in another group with the French team and the Polish team?

Ding Rong sighed: "If we really play according to Lao Niu's strategy, the friendship between the three old gm districts will be strengthened through volleyball. After all, we have cut the two strong teams of Brazil and the United States."

Qin Chunxiao: You play this historical meme very well.

Chang Xiaole complained: "Isn't the French team the host? Lao Niu also said that he suspected that they deliberately did not play with the Chinese team."

After all, in Italy, the French team was exhausted after a game against the Chinese team, and suffered a disastrous defeat in the subsequent games. In a match against the Chinese team, regardless of whether they win or lose, they will be robbed from the rich and donated to the poor. What a painful realization!

Mao Xunfeng lay on his stomach: "But next year, it should be much easier for us to reach the finals."

When it comes to this, everyone agrees. After all, the FIVB has released rumors that the VNL will change the competition system again next year, and the number of places in the finals will be relaxed to 8.

It is estimated that the masters of the FIVB also feel that it is inconvenient to group six teams. It is better to change to eight, and two more places means that there will be more teams entering the finals. At least the countries behind these two teams The audience will also be more willing to pay attention to this game, which can increase the ratings.

Li Ling: "I don't know how many fans in our hometown are watching."

Tong Shulan passed by and said with a smile: "Anyway, there must be a lot of Shandong fans."

Kong Duojin glanced at him: "What are you talking about, why didn't you text her back? After all, he was a former friend, why did you ignore her?"

Tong Shulan coughed in embarrassment: "I'm still sitting on the bench, am I embarrassed to talk to her?"

Qin Chunxiao was confused: "Who is TA?"

Tong Shulan and Kong Duojin replied in unison: "It has nothing to do with you."

Gao Depi seemed to know something, and patted Qin Chunxiao on the shoulder: "After the finals are over, I will tell you that you and Lao Tong's number one fan also know each other."

Tong Shulan jumped up: "Old Pi! You itch!"

Gao Depi ran away, and Tong Shulan chased after him, leaving only Qin Chunxiao with a dazed face.

On July 7, the Chinese team first faced the Brazilian team.

At this moment, the Brazilian team has regained the number one ranking in the world through continuous victories in the VNL sub-station.

Newton encouraged the boys before the game: "In the two games, as long as we can win one game, we can enter the VNL semi-finals. If we play well, we may even be on the podium. Boys, play well !"

Chinese team: "Do it!"

On the other side, the players of the Brazilian team are surrounded by a brown-skinned young man.

Captain and setter-Cayo: "Christian, we are going to play the final together. As I said, we will bring you the tickets for the final."

Main Attacker - Dominique: "Christian, it's a pleasure to fight alongside you."

Main attack-Joshua: "Dude, don't your knees hurt?"

Freeman-Billy: "How's the status?"

The main support of the Brazilian team - Christian felt warm in his heart: "Thank you, I am much better, at least I will never hold you back."

Christian is 33 years old this year and is the absolute main support of the Brazilian team in the Rio cycle. However, as he gets older and has accumulated injuries, he had to undergo an operation this year, so he missed the game in China until the VNL It was only in the finals that it returned successfully.

It can also be said that if Christian was present when the two teams faced each other last time, the Chinese team might not be able to drag Brazil into the fifth game.

Christian is a player who has led the Brazil team to win several honors. After he came back, the spirit of the Brazil team was completely different.

Newton looked in the direction of the Brazilian team and sighed: "Christian is the soul of the Brazilian team."

The most important thing is that the Chinese team and the Brazilian team dragged to the fifth game. In fact, it was a little credit for the first time. They have already thoroughly studied the perennial world No. [-] Brazil team. Xiaomengxin didn't understand well enough, and the Chinese team kept playing tricks and tricks, which caught the Brazilian team by surprise.

Now none of these tricks can be used, and both sides can only fight hard.

This match was not difficult, and the Chinese team also lost without any surprises, but fortunately, they still managed to drag Brazil to the fifth game. After all, in Italy, the boys of the Chinese team were also helped by the king of sand volleyball. The group has been upgraded once, so they have all become more grueling than before!

这五局的比分分别是27：25、25：23、22：25、21：25、25：22。

In the last game, both teams were exhausted. Christian came back and met such a tough team. In the last game, he had to be replaced to rest. Yue was replaced by the coach and rested for a whole game.

After the game, Mars looked at his athletes who were out of breath, with a sad face, and then looked at the direction of the Chinese team, and found that the young team was generally very energetic, and he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.

Let this team continue to develop, and the Brazilian team will have one more strong team to worry about.

The assistant coach of the Brazilian team said to Mars: "The men's and women's volleyball teams of the Chinese team are very difficult."

This sentence reminded Mars of the Chinese women's volleyball team. He showed a dazed expression: "You said that, I am a little worried about Yuqing, and I don't know if she is okay."

The women's volleyball VNL final was held in Nanjing, China, and the curtain came to an end on July 7. The overall champion was the Turkish team, and the Chinese team won the bronze medal. , announced his retirement on the spot.

In the outside world, the public can't understand why she chose to retire, because Meng Yuqing is born in the [-]s, and theoretically she is still in her prime, so it is more reasonable to retire after finishing the Tokyo Olympics.

However, none of Meng Yuqing's coaches or teammates were surprised by her retirement, and no one stopped her. It can be seen that there must be some reason for her to retire.

Mars thought for a while and caught up with the Chinese team: "Hey, Chinese boys, I have a question for you!"

The Chinese team stopped. Qin Chunxiao turned around and asked friendlyly, "Coach Mars, what's the matter?"

Mars asked directly: "I want to know why Yuqing of your women's volleyball team retired."

When it came to this question, the Chinese team, which hadn't shown any loss or sadness after losing the game, became heavy in the atmosphere.

Qin Chunxiao hesitated for a moment, then replied: "She is about to lose her color vision, so she can't play anymore."

Meng Yuqing’s soul mate, Meng Yuling, had a recurrence of osteosarcoma. Even though she underwent amputation again, the cancer cells still spread, and her pelvic cavity and abdominal cavity were eroded, but she still went to Nanjing to watch her sister’s VNL final , and after the game, she entered the hospital and is now dying.

The color of the volleyball is bright, every time it flies high, the players can clearly see its figure, and then run towards it.

But if one day, only black and white are left in the world, it will definitely have an impact on the strength of the players. Meng Yuqing is very strong. She can go to the Brazilian league to start again after a serious injury, but her strength has its limit , if she loses her sister and color, then even she needs to avoid the arena and find a place to heal her injuries.

Mars whispered and made a sign of the cross: "May God bless them."

Qin Chunxiao smiled: "Thank you for your concern for Yuqing, too."

After leaving the arena, Qiao Mingming comforted Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling: "Don't be sad."

They all knew that the Guangdong Provincial Team had helped the Shandong women's volleyball team to train. The relationship between the two teams was good, and the friendship between the players was naturally good. Qin Chunxiao also knew Meng Yuqing well.

Qin Chunxiao shook his head: "I have passed the most uncomfortable stage."

Li Ling pursed her mouth, wondering whether to cry or not: "I didn't want to cry at first."

Liu Yuelou handed him a piece of paper, Li Ling took it, and immediately started blowing his nose.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, which is still 4 o'clock in the afternoon in China, Tong Shulan received two text messages before going to bed.

[Tong, if you don't reply to my text messages, I will ignore you from now on. 】

[I found that your figure is getting hotter and hotter. It seems that you have been exercising very hard. Can you touch it for an old friend? 】

Tong Shulan pursed her lips, lay on her back, and stared at the screen of the phone until Kong Duojin vaguely reminded him: "Looking at the phone while lying down is not good for your eyes."

Tong Shulan responded, "Look at it later."

After a while, he replied.

[I'll touch you when I get back, but the premise is that you allow me to visit you in the hospital, right?I really don't dislike you for having no hair. 】

That night, Qin Chunxiao received a text message from Meng Yuling.

Meng Yuling [Xiaozi, Sister Ling is here to tell you to cheer for the last time. From now on, you should play hard, study hard, make friends, and love well. I heard that you want to go to Antarctica for scientific research after you retire, right?I wish you success, I don’t know if you will be able to stay awake when you play tomorrow, but if I am still conscious at that time, I will watch your game too O(∩_∩)O]

Qin Chunxiao [I will definitely win for you tomorrow! 】

There is a gap in strength between the Chinese team and the US team, but in the past volleyball arenas, it is not uncommon for a team ranked 20 in the world to counterattack the world's No. [-] record.

Of course, it is possible for a weak team to create a miracle and beat a strong team, not to mention that the gap between the Chinese team and the US team is not that big.

The scarf of Qin Chunxiao's trumpet "Wolf of the Wind" has a prompt sound.

scarf

Yomi:

I feel that the painful time is coming to an end. I am very glad that the cancer cells did not reach the eyes. The doctor said that my cornea can be donated, which is great. In the future, there will still be people who can use my cornea to see the world. Except for the cornea, my remains The rest will be donated to the medical university in my hometown to make an insignificant contribution to medical progress.

I'm sorry, some articles can't give you an ending, the original ones can't be finished, and there are a few real-life fans... Compared with the stories I imagined, the real ones have more exciting and beautiful stories than the fans.

Fortunately, I have sent private messages to them these days, and they all responded, and they were willing to let me send a scarf, expressing their understanding, even though I feel ashamed after reading the text, but also grateful for their concern for me.

Thanks to my relatives and friends, thank you for your encouragement and support to me.

Finally, I wish you all, bye.

2018. 7, 6

Qin Chunxiao didn't think about avoiding suspicion at all, so he forwarded it on a large scale, then handed over the phone to the coach, put on the protective gear, and started to warm up.

Seeing Qin Chunxiao put on the red wristband, Fu Biyang wondered, "Aren't you wearing that black wristband today? And this red wristband looks so old."

Qin Chunxiao shook her wrist: "It's quite old. The former owner bought this pair of wristbands in 07, and then wore them to participate in the World Youth Championship. Unfortunately, she retired after not wearing them a few times."

When participating in the World Youth Championship in 07, old players like Gao Depi immediately realized that it was Meng Yuqing and Meng Yuling's session?

Gao Depi raised Qin Chunxiao's wrist and looked at it, and found that there were wind chimes and the sun embroidered on one corner of the wristband. Without saying anything, he turned his head and waved to Tong Shulan.

"Old Tong, try your best today."

Tong Shulan, who used to be a quasi-divine animal player and has been a Buddhist for a long time after the serious injury: "Huh? But the doctor said that it is safer for us to spend more time on the ground, and Academician Li also said that I have to recuperate for at least half a year. After checking, it is safer to pick up the one-legged jump again..."

Gao Depi insisted: "Today is the time to play hard with Lao Mei."

Tong Shulan didn't know why at first, he was sitting on the ground tying a sports bandage to his ankle, and then he watched Gao Depi lift Qin Chunxiao's wrist, the red wristband was very conspicuous.

Tong Shulan was born in Shandong Province, and she is even more familiar with the Meng family sisters than Qin Chunxiao!

Needless to say anything now, Tong Shulan stood up quickly, he knew that Meng Yuling had given the wristband to Qin Chunxiao, but he knew that Qin Chunxiao still preferred to wear dirty black and dark blue.

Thinking of her condition, he understood something.

Kong Duojin, who was also from the Shandong Provincial Team, put on the protective gear silently, always showing a rare coldness and murderous intent on his face with a gentle smile.

As players, of course they try their best to play every game. This is their professionalism, but there is a difference between going all out and risking your life!

Newton also noticed something, and he took out the starting lineup: "Today's starting lineup, Qiao Mingming, Ding Rong, Tong Shulan, Qin Chunxiao, You Ziyu, Kong Duojin, free agent Du Xiaofeng is on standby outside the field."

If there is no injury, Newton can be said to have sent out three of the four main attackers today. With Tong Shulan already determined to risk his life, maybe the Chinese team will have two quasi-beast-level main attackers today.

Qin Chunxiao is supporting today. He is standing in position 6, and Tong Shulan is standing in position 1 on the right.

And this senior who has been silent for too long due to injury is holding the ball, and his expression seems to be reminiscent. Before the referee blows the whistle, he looks at the camera, blinks, and then the whistle sounds, he throws the ball, high Jump high.

In the summer of 07, we were selected from the provincial team by the national team, and then went to the World Youth Championship.

At that time, Tong Shulan once said to Meng Yuling: "Wow, there are girls as tall as you in the world. Big sister, you say you have such a head, why are you playing second pass? Play the same main attack as me."

Meng Yuling stood on the court with a smile, holding the volleyball, and the red wristbands on her hands were conspicuous: "You don't understand this, do you? The setter is the core of the team and the brain. I'm so smart, it would be a waste if I don't play the setter." gone."

"Old Tong, believe it or not, my setter will be world-class! On the contrary, you, as a men's volleyball team, will probably take longer than me to reach the world-class stage, but don't worry, I'll wait for you there."

At that time, the boys and girls were still so young, and their healthy bodies made them feel that they could have everything. Tong Shulan and Meng Yuling competed to see who would achieve first.

Tong Shulan thought that Meng Yuling also regarded him as an opponent, although men's volleyball and women's volleyball were not the same event at all, and setters and main attackers were not in the same position.

In terms of ambiguous feelings, neither of them had it, because at that time it was more appropriate to say that the two were half-brothers, but this is not bad. There is not only love between boys and girls, but also high-spirited love. Emotions related to love, such as rivals who understand each other.

Until the girl's dream came to an abrupt end after losing a leg, she forbade Tong Shulan to visit her.

Because she cared about her lack of hair and the leg she lost, the boy went there secretly once, but was thrown out of the ward by the emotionally out-of-control girl with a water bottle.

And then, long time no see.

boom!

The ball fell heavily on the ground, and the speedometer showed that the speed of the ball was as high as 128.

Tong Shulan was tidying up his wristbands, and only then did the fans notice that Tong Shulan's arm had grown thicker by more than a circle compared to before the serious injury.

He lost absolute air supremacy, so he simply gave up maintaining a relatively thin body with better bounce, and instead worked hard to strengthen his strength, turning himself into a heavy gunner, and the transformation of technology and the long period of adaptation made this The top four main attackers sat on the bench for a long time, and until today, he will play this game with a new attitude.

Tong Shulan thought, I have always believed that you can go on the world stage, but now I came here first.

I will win for you to see.
