my soulmate is a free man

Before the match against the Australian team was about to start, the Chinese team was making intensive pre-match preparations. For example, Du Xiaofeng was wearing protective gear, muscle patches, and plasters. He was fully armed.

This buddy's blood bar is indeed short. Before Qin Chunxiao was reborn, Du Xiaofeng originally planned to fight for the chance to participate in the Tokyo Olympics with his teammates, but he failed to make it to the Olympics. Du Xiaofeng regretted retiring, crying with snot and tears.

By the time Lao Niu reorganized the national team in 2023, Du Xiaofeng had already retired for two years. Following the natural law of most athletes who "easily gain weight after retirement", he became fat and failed to be selected for the national team in Newton's belt. Getting on that Air France plane was a blessing in disguise.

Newton pressed Li Ling's shoulder and gave him some thought work.

"Leng, you have to remember that as a setter, what you want to pass is the ball that the attacker can play, and the sense of the attacker is the most important! You wanted to score too much before, and some of them seemed to you to be able to play. In the position of scoring, others may not understand what to do to score, not everyone has the same tacit understanding as Xiaozi with you, understand?"

Li Ling nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't smoke today!"

In fact, Er Leng's guarantee has nothing to do with whether he smokes or not, it is not something he can control.

Newton encouraged Er Leng again: "Very good, what you need is this spirit. Imagine that you have the most powerful teammates in Asia, and you are a solid setter even if you don't play tricks. Why can't you play it? As long as this If you can fight well in one match, you will be rewarded with great rewards when you go back!"

Li Ling immediately stood up straight: "Yes, coach!"

Qin Chunxiao always felt that Lao Niu's bewitching, appropriately exaggerated, MLM tone was very familiar, and then he remembered that Lao Niu also used this tone when he persuaded him to return to China to play!

If Newton hadn't been a coach, he would have been a salesman, and he would have been No. 1 in selling umbrellas in the Sahara.

Qin Chunxiao waved to Li Ling, and Li Ling trotted in front of Qin Chunxiao.

Qin Chunxiao: "Retell me your understanding of what the coach said."

Li Ling: "Others may not understand the ball that can score in my cognition, so this kind of ball can only be attacked by myself, and I should only attack when I am sure, otherwise when the opponent catches the ball and counterattacks, Brother Xiong and Brother Xiaofeng may not be able to stand it."

Qin Chunxiao nodded: "What else?"

Li Ling: "Pass the ball that others can score, not the ball that I think I can score."

It's okay, this stupefied man can't smoke much today, so Qin Chunxiao let him do it with confidence.

Li Ling's skills are indeed solid. His sense of the ball is not bad, and his sense of space is amazing. Sometimes when practicing back passes, he can send the ball to the position he wants very accurately without turning his head. When he wakes up, he can't figure out the ball, which is simply a big killer.

In other words, his passing accuracy is also very good, as long as he communicates with his teammates before the game "what height do you want the ball, do you want to break fast", you can basically play at the domestic first-class level.

The Chinese men's volleyball team is a strong team in Asia. Li Ling can be the first-class team in China, and he will not be bad at the Asian Championships.

Coincidentally, the Australian team wasn't so strong that Qin Chunxiao couldn't play without Qin Chunxiao, so Qin Chunxiao sat on the bench quite peacefully, drinking water and applauding from time to time.

The Australian men's volleyball team is a very interesting team. The players are generally good at tidying up. Dancing on the sidelines and slapping each other's buttocks are routine operations. Even if you don't know volleyball, watching them have fun and do things is very interesting, second only to watching the New Zealand men's basketball team Do a Maori war dance.

Qin Chunxiao was still in the mood and said to Chang Xiaole: "It's rare to watch the game from the sidelines. Looking at it now, the average height of our team is really good."

Chang Xiaole was surprised: "So you are willing to raise the issue of height."

Qin Chunxiao was puzzled: "Do I look like someone who can't increase my height? As long as people don't say my height in a mocking tone, or bluntly say that I'm a short man, I'm fine."

At 1.7m [-], he has surpassed the average height of domestic males by several centimeters. As a Cantonese boy who strayed into the volleyball arena, he is proud of his height.

In the auxiliary hall, the Japanese team quickly ended the battle with the South Korean team and went to the main hall to watch the game under the leadership of the coach.

Yansuke Sakano was very dissatisfied: "Is there anything worthy of attention for the Chinese team? I want to go back and rest."

When Mingming played against each other before, he could clearly feel that it was an "old team" with very old technical and tactical systems, and the physical talents of the players had gradually been caught up by the Japanese team.

Coach Takeshita shook his head solemnly: "It's different, their head coach has been replaced by Newton, and the entire team has changed their players."

Sakano Yansuke: "Newton? Physicist?"

Coach Takeshita: "No, the Newton I'm talking about is just that the pronunciation of his name is similar to that of the physicist. He was once the best setter in Asia in the 20s, and he had coaching experience in a very strong club in the Italian League. An opponent to be feared."

Yansuke Sakano: "It's just that the coach is good, right? And he can't get a group of good players to play at once."

Yansuke Sakano's teammate and setter Akio Kawachi smiled wryly: "He really got such a group of players. You were doing closed training before. You may not know that the former coach of the Chinese team, Zhao, has already moved in because of his involvement in gambling and other issues. Prison, because of him, China has a lot of really good players trapped in the youth team, and now, they come to the world stage."

Hanoi Akio: "If you have watched this year's World Youth Championship, you will know that they have the top main attacker in Asia, and a super support that can defend Brazil's Dominique."

Yansuke Sakano: "Responsive? Not a free man?"

Coach Takeshita: "That responder is not only strong in defense, but his ball point is [-] meters. Like you, I think he will be the most worthy of our attention in the Chinese team."

Again, in the Japanese team where the average height is not dominant, the ball point of [-] meters is already a height that can be used as a fort.

Yansuke Sakano's expression finally became serious: "Who is that person?"

Coach Takeshita and Akio Kawachi said together: "Misha Qin."

Akio Kawachi added: "He is one-quarter Russian and has blue eyes."

Sakano Yansuke unexpectedly remembered the child he met last night surrounded by a group of two-meter tall men, and he was shocked: "How is it possible? He is not even 1.8 meters tall!"

Fortunately, Japan has always had a little affection for the group of "little giants who break the shackles of height and play volleyball". After all, no matter where they are, those who have broken through various unfavorable restrictions and reached the top must have something worthy of admiration.

Because of what the coach and teammates said, Yansuke Sakano began to look forward to seeing Qin Chunxiao on the court. Unexpectedly, when he got there, Qin Chunxiao was actually on the bench!

No one would think that a player who can defend the young monsters would not be the main force of the team. Yansuke Sakano pointed in the direction of the Chinese team's bench: "Coach, he didn't play."

Coach Takeshita also showed doubts: "He has no rumors of injuries. The kid is only 16 years old, far from the age of serious injuries, and he also played quite relaxed yesterday when he played against the Hong Kong team."

Naturally, they didn't know that Qin Chunxiao took a break specifically for the development of his partner.

Er Leng's cell phone is not fortified against Qin Chunxiao. He knows that Er Leng's power-on password is his brother Li Yan's birthday, and he even knows the passwords of Er Leng's bank card and credit card, because Er Leng these cards are Qin Chunxiao's. to do...

Of course, he will also hold the mentality of a parent and pay attention to some remarks about Li Ling on the Internet.

Since yesterday's game ended, some people have scolded Li Ling harshly, and some people have made remarks like "Without Qin Chunxiao, Li Ling is nothing", that is, to step on Li Ling and praise Qin Chunxiao.

Qin Chunxiao: I'm a partner with that idiot, and I'm not happy at all when I see someone stepping on him with me!

And it's my business that he plays better than others. Those so-called fans who keep praising Qin Chunxiao for stepping on others will only make him feel ashamed and feel sorry for other innocent players.

This is not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing is that some people have already started to praise Qin Chunxiao as the No. My brother, their talents are definitely not as good as my brother's, and their status is not as high as my brother's.

Isn't this the most common flattery in the fan circle?Qin Chunxiao specially opened an account of "Wolf of Gale Wind" to make fans of Mei Xuandong. As the person closest to the fan circle in the team, he is too familiar with these remarks, not only familiar, but also afraid.

He has the best-looking face in the team, and it is inevitable that he will enjoy the benefits of his appearance. The fans of the scarf will increase the fastest, and his fan circle in the comment area will also be the thickest.

Fortunately, he eats national food instead of fan food, so he doesn't have to cooperate with those fans' slamming. When he is free, he simply pays attention to the bib numbers of those players who are slammed. Made a lot of friends who I didn't know in the previous life.

Some of them were very friendly. After he was sweating profusely after playing the game and his arms were blown cold by the air conditioner, he specially sent him arm guards.

During that time, Qin Chunxiao bought 15 pairs of arm guards, and Li Ling also bought arm guards for him after seeing them.

Li Ling said this: "Xiaozi, I know you best. I know you like black with blue stripes, but those people only know to send you black, red, and white."

Qin Chunxiao: "Oh..."

After playing the Hong Kong team, he also specially issued a scarf for Li Ling.

Qin Chunxiao V: A momentary mistake is nothing, everyone has a bad state, work hard tomorrow and prove yourself. @李家小羊羊

He is short-sighted.

Soon, Gao Depi, captain of the Guangdong provincial team, reposted the scarf, which shows that Xiao Qin is not the only one protecting the team.

Fortunately, Li Ling did not lose the chain at the critical moment. Today, he did not live up to the expectations of his coach and his partners. He played quite steadily. Especially in the second game, his state improved steadily, and he actually won the game with a second attack. The 25th point ended the round and was embraced and praised by all teammates.

It's a pity that after getting Kua Kua, this guy started to drift again. He smoked twice at the beginning of the third game, and the old cow was so angry that he roared furiously below.

"What the hell are you attacking at this time! There are two blocks on the opposite side waiting, it's obvious that you can't pass it? He only has one block!"

Li Ling was also wronged: "I want to make a thug out of bounds."

Who knew that the angle was wrong and the opponent successfully blocked the ball. Fortunately, Du Xiaofeng was in good shape today and caught the ball.

Fortunately, Li Ling's convulsion was also temporary. The Chinese team finally won the game with a score of 3:1. At this time, they have won 3 victories in the Group D qualifiers, and there is no doubt that they will advance to the semi-finals.

After the game, Qin Chunxiao returned the phone to Li Ling. The idiot finally saw the news Qin Chunxiao posted for him, and was so moved that his eyes were red, and he raised his hand to hug him.

"Xiaozi!"

Qin Chunxiao slipped under his armpit and said, "Don't touch me, I'm sweating all over."

Unexpectedly, they escaped the second stunned but not the others. You Ziyu, Ai Zimaiti and other strong men with an average height of two meters grabbed Qin Chunxiao and gave him several warm hugs.

"We won!"

After they hugged each other, Li Ling stood in front of Qin Chunxiao scratching his head again: "Hey~"

Qin Chunxiao opened his hands: "All right, all right, let's hug."

They are all old men, how can you save a piece of meat by hugging them.

Er Leng is very happy at the moment. He always thinks that being friends with Xiaozai is very happy. He accidentally got someone to encourage him and give him a chance. It doesn’t matter if he can’t fight. Xiaozai can fight and protect him. Xiaozai would wake him up in time for being lazy, and even improved his test scores.

Li Ling decided that Xiaozai will be his best friend in this life. If he gets married in the future, he will let Xiaozai be his best man. Suona blowing accompaniment in June Tower!

He is a very active person, so he immediately wandered to the side of the June Building and whispered about it to him.

Junelou was shocked: "Why do you think about things so far away?"

Is playing the suona at Qin Chunxiao's wedding too long?

Newton was also overjoyed, and invited the boys to eat fried bananas. On the way back, he asked the team doctor Wang Yan in a low voice, "How is Xiao Qin? Do you want to take another rest?"

He let Qin Chunxiao rest this time, not only because of Li Ling, but mainly because Qin Chunxiao has been playing all five rounds. People put on the bench for a day.

Wang Yan's black line: "He didn't have any injuries, a day off is enough."

Seeing that Newton was still worried, Wang Yan said bluntly, "Your body is very strong, don't worry and let him go!"

After saying this, Wang Yan realized that his voice was a bit loud, and quickly turned to look at the players, only to find that Qiao Mingming and Liu Yuelou in the back row pretended not to hear them, and were talking about other topics.

Qiao Mingming: "Xiao Liu, have you watched "Wulin Biography"?"

Liu Yuelou: "Not only do I watch "Wulin Biography", but I can also play the suona."

In the back seat of them are Aizmaiti and Fu Biyang, who are sleeping, but the snoring is very deliberate, it sounds like a pig snoring, it should be pretending.

They are all people with a strong desire to survive.

At this time, the bus was driving smoothly, the sky was bright, and the time difference between Indonesia and China was only one hour, Qin Chunxiao swiped his phone.

[Qin Chunxiao: Did you find your sister? 】

[Xuandong who can sing: I found it. 】

【Qin Chunxiao: Is she okay?Are you not hurt? 】

[Singing Xuandong: I was almost injured. They wanted her to get pregnant, control her, and control me by the way, but she gave some clues on the road, and the sister of the neighbor called the police in time, and the famous police officer Lu Xiaodan also For some reason, she ran to the vicinity of Ei City to handle the case, and rescued her. 】

Qin Chunxiao's fingers rested on the top of the touch screen. After a while, he seemed to understand why Mei Xiangnan in the previous life finally chose the same ending as her mother, jumping off the building.

She was imprisoned in the mountains, and was rescued a month later. The good media rushed to take pictures, so the last photo of the girl in her life showed two broken teeth, dull eyes, and giggling with her belly in her arms.

What the hell did those scumbags do to that girl!

Qin Chunxiao was glad that he had paid some attention to this matter. Min Yaoyang's second mother, police officer Lu Xiaodan, went to Ei City to handle the case this time, and he might have a little credit for it.

But he also regretted it. After knowing that Mei Xiangnan was taken away, he should have put in more effort to help them. This time it was lucky that Mei Xiangnan was rescued. If it happened...she would face a lot of pain up.

【Qin Chunxiao: I'm sorry I couldn't help you more. 】

【Xuandong who can sing: No, you have already given me the greatest help (^o^)】

[Qin Chunxiao:? 】

[Xuandong who can sing: It was my fans who helped Xiangnan pass on the clues. They didn't believe that she was my sister because we didn't look alike, so they originally wanted to refuse her request for help, but Xiangnan sang A song I haven't released yet, it was written for you, those girls thought it was my style of music, so they helped Xiangnan to report to the police nearby, and let Officer Lu get her whereabouts. 】

[Xuandong who can sing: I am not a superstitious person, but today, I am really grateful to God for allowing you to come into my life, you are our lucky star. 】

After sending this message, Mei Xuandong felt a little shy.

Does Captain Qin think his words are too nasty?But he didn't mean to be ambiguous, nor did he want to flirt with Team Qin, but he was sincerely grateful for his presence.

This is what he has in mind.

Ding dong, Captain Qin replied to him.

【Qin Chunxiao: I am also very grateful to God for saving Xiangnan, otherwise I would never forgive myself. I should have helped you more. 】

Mei Xuandong pressed the newly bought mineral water bottle to her face, trying to cool herself down.

We haven't spoken formally yet, and no one is obligated to anyone, whether to help or not.

Team Qin really is.

Thinking of Qin Chunxiao's support and encouragement for other athletes when he used the trumpet to make fans, Mei Xuandong came to a conclusion—Qin team is really a warm-hearted and good person.

Mei Xiangnan was wrapped in a blanket, and while gnawing on chocolate, she asked her brother: "Brother, what are you looking at?"

Mei Xuandong came back to his senses, and said embarrassedly: "The star my brother chased won the game again."

Mei Xiangnan didn't understand football, so he just responded casually: "Then he must have scored a lot of points today?"

Mei Xuandong: "No, he didn't play today."

Mei Xiangnan showed a puzzled expression.

At this moment, a mellow female voice sounded from behind them.

"Mei Xuandong."

The two siblings stood up together and respectfully called out to the visitor: "Officer Lu."

The visitor was a woman in her early forties, with sharp facial features, tall and strong, handsome and capable.

She was a little tired: "Mei Xuandong, come with me, I have something to talk to you."

Mei Xuandong asked: "Are you talking about suing those people? We have solid evidence, and I can also spend a lot of money to find a lawyer. It shouldn't be difficult to convict?"

Lu Xiaodan shook his head: "It's not a matter of conviction, it's another matter, just come with me, Xiangnan, don't be nervous, it's just that there is some evidence that needs to be confirmed by your brother, it is related to your mother, I think Xuan Dong was born earlier than you After a few years, you should remember more clearly, just take a good rest."

Mei Xiangnan sat back obediently, although Mei Xuandong was puzzled, out of trust in the police officer, she comforted her sister a few more words and followed.

... Playing in the previous life, those who don't want to see the knife can jump...

When Mei Xiangnan was a child, she often heard people in the village say: "As long as a woman has a child, she can never leave again."

She didn't take it seriously at first, because her mother was never free, she just wandered around the fields with a smirk, that's how she was born, but then her brother grew up and he would go and bring her home, so in In Mei Xiangnan's perception, the only person in this world who will be entangled is a conscientious person like her brother.

A heartless person will not get caught up in anything.

Mei Xiangnan is not very old, she is still an underage girl, her world is black and white, very clearly divided, she firmly believes that whoever has a conscience towards her, she will have a conscience towards him.

So even if many people like to compare her with her brother, saying that she is not as good-looking as her brother and is his drag, she also understands in her heart that the only person in this world who cares about herself and herself is her brother, and she loves him the most. he.

She didn't want her brother to be caught, but when she finally seized the opportunity, lying on the balcony on the second floor of the hotel, asking for help from the passing girls who were singing her brother's song, they laughed.

"You are lying, how could you be the younger sister of the Winter Emperor."

Her brother has always protected her very well, never letting the media take pictures of her, not letting outsiders disturb her life, letting her concentrate on her studies and get into a good school in the future, but at this moment, her brother's fans denied her as The identity of the younger sister.

"Liar." This was their definition of her, so they didn't take her plea for help seriously, and walked away laughing.

further and further.

The figure gradually became a very small point.

She is not a liar, she is really Mei Xuandong's younger sister, she is just not as beautiful and tall as her brother, but they are related by blood.

Mei Xiangnan looked at their backs, and didn't wait for other people who came to this street, and was pulled off by their hair.

She was taken to the mountains and locked up for a month. She was three weeks pregnant when she was rescued.

Mei Xiangnan resisted, and she ran away many times, but was always caught by other people in the village. They seemed to be a whole, extremely united, maybe her mother was also crazy.

Sometimes fate is a ridiculous thing, just like Mei Xiangnan conceived a stranger's child in the field like her mother, and chose the same ending as her mother.

And when her brother saw her accusation against those two fans from her suicide note, he could no longer face the so-called "fans", and for a long time, he had a psychological shadow on the fans on stage.

Intellectually, Mei Xuandong knew that there was nothing wrong with those fans, but he had indeed failed to get past that level in his heart for a long time, and when he figured it out and wanted to welcome a new life, he realized that His own younger brother was sinking into an unhappy emotional vortex, and his persuasion was ineffective, and even his new family was disgusted.

It's true that he is Lu Xuandong, but he is also Mei Xuandong. In their hearts, he is half an outsider, so he can't interfere with his younger brother's emotional life, that's too much.

His body, which had never been cared for since he was young, was overwhelmed. Ever since Mei Xiangnan disappeared, he had been suffering from insomnia and headaches. After Mei Xiangnan passed away, Mei Xuandong had to wait another half a year before seeing a doctor.

The doctor said to him, "Why didn't you come earlier? Your autonomic disorder is already very serious, and you still have moderate depression."

Lu Xuandong twitched the corners of his mouth: "Before... busy with other things, I just freed up recently, doctor, I want to recover my health."

He wanted to recover his health, and then go to welcome the new life, no matter how painful he was, he didn't want to just die like this, otherwise it would be like admitting defeat to fate.

But at this moment, Lu Xuandong also had self-doubt.

Can he defeat fate again?Just like when you dragged your adoptive mother and Xiangnan away from the village and led them to seek life in the city, did you see the light of day in the endless pain and suffering?

Lu Xuandong didn't know, he just tried to stand up again.

Finally, he waited for the dawn.

When he fell ill at the airport and was about to fall, a boy with blue eyes handed him a bottle of mineral water.

Lu Xuandong opened his mouth, but found that the "thank you" he wanted to say was actually unable to make a sound.
