The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine

Xie Shi'an had nowhere to go, and he didn't want to disturb others. When he walked aimlessly to the training room, he found that the lights were still on.

She looked inside curiously.

A figure was running and jumping back and forth, hitting a ball with a racket facing the wall.

There was a crisp and powerful bang bang resounding throughout the venue.

It's Yin Jiayi.

After a set of **** was played, she stopped and took a breath.

"Since you're here, let's come in and play some ball."

Although she was talking to the wall, Xie Shi'an knew that she was talking to herself.

The young man pushed the door lightly and entered.

Yin Jiayi took out a racket from her bag and threw it to her.

Xie Shi'an held it in his hand and weighed it. Professional players are very sensitive to changes in the weight of the racket.

"Have you changed the pounds?"

She remembered that Yin Jiayi had always used a 29-pound racket.

Yin Jiayi nodded and stood opposite her.

"Yes, I changed it after I lost to you last time."

Xie Shi'an pulled the corner of his lower lip slightly.

"It seems that you have studied me a lot these days."

Yin Jiayi also smiled, looking eager to try.

"Now you are the thorn in the side of the major provincial teams, the thorn in the flesh, and the meat and potatoes of the national team. I am not the only one who studies you. Let me stop talking nonsense and let me see how much you have improved during this time."

As soon as the words fell, Yin Jiayi raised her hand and sent a tricky net ball, Xie Shi'an had to go to the net and was forced to meet the enemy.

After several rounds, even Yin Jiayi saw that she was not in good condition and stopped.

"You have something on your mind."

Not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.

Xie Shi'an didn't deny it, nor affirmed it.

The outside world said that Xie Shi'an's refusal to join the national team was mostly because her teacher was sent out by the national team. As a student, it is understandable to fight for the teacher, but I don't know why, Yin Jiayi always feels that this is just one of them. The reason, there must be other factors or key figures behind it.

She remembered the game during the day.

Yin Jiayi was originally unwilling to say anything more, but she is now the captain, and she has to consider the performance of the entire team, and her feelings for Xie Shi'an are also very complicated. On the one hand, she regards her as her strong enemy, on the other hand There are some meanings of sympathy for each other when you meet your opponent.

"With all due respect, we have lost too many things all the way here. We will fly to Shanghai tomorrow to start the journey of the World Championships. I hope that even if you have any personal matters, you can put them aside for now until the game is over. Say it again."

Yin Jiayi took a bottle of water from her golf bag and put it in her hand.

Xie Shi'an sat on the stool in the rest area, looked at the water bottle in his hand, and remained silent.

Having said all that, the hour hand on the wall has already pointed to twelve o'clock, and Yin Jiayi packs her golf bag and prepares to leave.

"Oh, by the way, remember to turn off the lights and lock the door when you go back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Shi'an said suddenly.

"Did you do the same to her?"

Yin Jiayi was taken aback.

"you-"

Xie Shi'an raised his head and glanced at her.

"During the national competition, I accidentally bumped into Jin Nanzhi one night, and she told me something about you."

Yin Jiayi smiled bitterly.

"Ah, you are still a child, you can talk about everything."

Xie Shi'an also bent the corner of his lips.

"It's quite simple."

But it is such a simple, simple and clumsy person who silently treats her well that can impress Yin Jiayi, isn't it?

But now that it's here, there are no outsiders in the training room.

Yin Jiayi looked at her who was also trapped in love, and said seriously.

"As a professional player and each playing for a different country, it is destined that I will have a lot of intersections with her, but also because of this, we can only be ordinary friends, people who are destined not to be together, should not be together in the first place. Report any illusions and hopes."

"It's so heartless." The boy sighed, unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip.

"Just can it really be done?"

Yin Jiayi didn't answer her question, she was stunned for a while, then turned and left, her eyes closed, and a sigh came out of her lips.

Saying something and doing it are two different things.

Like her and Jin Nanzhi, or Xie Shi'an and Qiao Yuchu.

＊＊＊

After Xie Shi'an left, Qiao Yuchu was tossing and turning on the bed alone, unable to sleep no matter what, and her wrist was stinging like a needle prick.

In the months since surgery, this pain has come and gone, but never as intense as it is today.

She couldn't help biting the pillow with her teeth, the pain made her unconsciously start to shed tears, and let out a suppressed growl from the depths of her throat.

Just then, she saw the bottle of medicine on the bedside.

Jin Shunqi's voice came into my mind.

"I also take this medicine occasionally when I have a migraine, and it works very well."

"I'm really worried about you. Others don't know how much you have paid to get to where you are today. As the attending doctor, I can't be more clear."

"Occasionally, please live for yourself."

The last sentence, like a magic voice, echoed back and forth in her eardrums, the moment the hammer fell.

Trembling at the beginning, Qiao Yu stretched out her hand, groping bit by bit, and held the bottle of medicine in her hand.

＊＊＊

"Bang bang bang—"

In the quiet night, there was a knock on the door.

Jian Changnian's bed was close to the door, so she was the first to be woken up, and got up sleepily to open the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Qiao Yuchu."

Jian Changnian rubbed her eyes and yawned.

"Sister Yuchu, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Qiao Yuchu looked a little anxious, hesitant to speak.

"I…"

Blown by the cold wind in the corridor, Jian Changnian's chaotic mind woke up a little bit. The thing that made her come here at night can only be about Xie Shi'an.

She didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at this time.

"What happened to Shi'an?"

"She just went out and hasn't come back yet. I guess she doesn't want to see me for a while." Qiao Yuchu heaved a sigh of relief, but felt a little embarrassed to bother her.

The last time I quarreled with sister Yuchu, Xie Shi'an did the same.

Jian Changnian yawned again, muttering "It's really troublesome", but was about to go back to the house and get dressed.

"Why this time?" She asked curiously.

Qiao Yuchu looked a little evasive, and forced a smile.

"It's just some... trifles. I really can't worry about her with her character."

Jian Changnian nodded, took off the coat from the hanger, stepped on the slipper path without changing her pajama pants.

"Yes, yes, it's too bad. I'll go find her. Sister Yuchu, go back to sleep."

"Then I will trouble you."

Jian Changnian closed the door gently, and when she reached the corridor, where the lights were bright, she saw that Qiao Yuchu's face was very pale, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

She was a little worried.

"Sister Yuchu, are you okay, your face is so ugly."

Qiao Yuchu was afraid that she would find out that he was secretly taking painkillers, so he cheered up and smiled.

"No, it's just that I ate a little too much at night and my stomach feels uncomfortable."

"Then go back and rest quickly, don't stand here anymore, although I don't know why you are arguing, but I will definitely bring her back."

The corner of the boy's lips curled up into a smile, swearing.

Qiao Yuchu took a few steps forward, then turned to look at her and said.

"If you see Shi'an, tell her for me that my plane will return to Jiangcheng tomorrow morning, please ask her to—"

She hesitated for a moment, but said.

"Come on for the game."

"Hey, are you going back so early?"

Jian Changnian was a little surprised. It stands to reason that after the trials, he could rest for a few days.

"Aren't you going to Shanghai to watch Shi'an's game?"

Qiao Yuchu shook her head, turned and left.

"not going."

For some reason, Jian Changnian looked at her leaving back and felt a little lonely.

She struggled to get up to find Jian Changnian, exhausting her last strength. When Qiao Yu returned to the room, she fell on the bed weakly. The medicine relieved her physical pain, but the side effects were also It made her head dizzy for a while, and the whole room was spinning.

When her consciousness was about to fall into darkness, she gritted her teeth again, stretched out her hand, pulled the medicine bottle off the bedside table, and stuffed it under the pillow.

＊＊＊

When the elevator arrived, she pressed down to the first floor. If Xie Shi'an was still in the training center, he was probably playing in the badminton hall.

Jian Changnian walked to the training room, as she expected, the lights inside were brightly lit, she approached step by step, and wanted to push the door to enter, but retracted her hand as if touching the scene.

The clear, powerful sound of hitting the ball and the sound of the soles of the shoes on the floor echoed throughout the stadium.

It's not the first time for Jian Changnian to watch her play, but she is still attracted to her every time. She spins and jumps under the light. It is obviously a basic footwork, but it makes her run out of beauty.

That person's hair fluttering slightly in the air, his sharp eyebrows and eyes, the hem of his clothes swaying, and the sweat dripping from his arms when he swung the racket.

The beating of the heart gradually coincided with the sound of hitting the ball.

bang bang.

Again and again, clear and powerful.

After playing a tube of balls, Xie Shi'an squatted down to pick up the balls, facing her direction.

Jian Changnian stood under the window, turned around abruptly, hid in the shadows, covered her mouth tightly, and tried not to make any sound.

The footsteps went away.

The sound of hitting the ball sounded again.

Jian Changnian breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, her nervous palms were covered with sweat.

No matter how late Xie Shi'an practiced inside, she waited outside for as long as she did, until the sound of soles rubbing against the floor stopped, Xie Shi'an picked up a towel to wipe off his sweat.

Jian Changnian knew that she was leaving, so she hid in the shadow of the corner of the training room and watched her close the door and lock her back to the apartment. The number on the elevator stayed on the floor of her room.

Only then was Jian Changnian completely relieved, covered his mouth and yawned, and pressed the elevator.

When Xie Shi'an returned to the room, the garbage on the floor had been cleaned up, and Qiao Yuchu fell asleep on the bed, breathing evenly.

She was a little disappointed, she didn't come out to find herself, and she was a little thankful, but fortunately she fell asleep, otherwise she didn't know how to face her.

Xie Shi'an walked over, pulled up the quilt that fell to the ground and covered her, sat down on the edge of the bed, put his head close to her palm, and murmured.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you, I just... just want to be with you a little longer, a little longer."

"Qiao Yuchu, I like you."

It was only at this time that she dared to confide in her heart.

Xie Shi'an whispered like a dream.

The hour hand turned silently.

the next day.

The effects of the drugs tore at her body, sending her into a drowsy sleep and waking up prematurely.

Xie Shi'an had already returned to the room and fell asleep with his back to her.

The twilight of the morning sun came in through the curtains.

Qiao Yu sat up at the beginning, and the quilt slipped off her body. She stared at Xie Shi'an's back for a while, and finally chose to tiptoe out of bed to pack her things.

Xie Shi'an herself slept late and lightly, even though her movements were light enough, she still woke up.

She closed her eyes, not daring to turn around.

Qiao Yuchu didn't intend to speak.

The two of them remained silent until she packed her things, dragged the suitcase, and closed the door gently.

"Pa-ta-" the door locked.

Xie Shi'an clutched the quilt tightly, tears welling up in his eyes.
