MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 107 reunion

After receiving the award, Jian Changnian went straight to the lounge to find someone. She hadn't seen him for a year. She couldn't hide her excitement. As soon as she entered the door and saw Xie Shi'an standing there, she rushed towards him.

"Pick up!"

Xie Shi'an took half a step back to catch her, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips naturally.

Zhou Mu stood beside him with teasing eyes.

"Oh my, if you only hug her and not me, you can pretend that I don't exist when you co-author it."

When Jian Changnian said this, his face became hot, and he quickly put Xie Shi'an away, and also stepped forward to give him a big bear hug.

"Mumu, why are you here too?!"

Only then did Zhou Mu smile again.

"I'm on vacation, so I came to watch your game."

Jian Changnian turned her gaze to Xie Shi'an.

"It just so happened that Zhou Mu was coming too, so we came together."

Jian Changnian knew that one of them was racing against time to prepare for the college entrance examination, and the other was taking care of academic training at the same time. They had no skills at all, but they still traveled across the sea to come here on the day of the finals.

"you…"

She had never been so happy when she won the championship.

As soon as Jian Chang read her mouth, she was about to shed tears.

Xie Shi'an looked at the gold medal hanging around her neck.

"They are all world champions, so let's do this again."

Jian Changnian finally laughed out of tears.

"Compared with yours, mine is far behind."

After coming out of the stadium, Jian Changnian wanted to invite them to dinner and have a good get-together, who knew that they came and left in a hurry, one was going back to prepare for the exam, and the other was going back to Beijing to prepare for the game.

"Can't... stay one more night?"

After sending him to the airport, her eyes were still red.

Zhou Mu stepped forward and hugged her.

"After the college entrance examination, there will be a lot of time."

If Xie Shi'an can be held back, then there is only training and preparation, so there is no need to ask.

Jian Changnian's eyes dimmed.

Xie Shi'an patted her on the shoulder.

"Next time, let's have a good get together next time."

Jian Changnian has always been sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed, she didn't cry or make trouble, she just hugged her friends one by one.

When it was Xie Shi'an's turn, she tightened her arms, not knowing why the sudden sourness came to her heart.

Xie Shi'an sensed something was wrong and asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong?"

"Next week... next week is my birthday."

"A coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Ok."

Xie Shi'an thought about it.

"Then I'll take the time to go back then."

Only then did Jian Changnian let her go, and felt that she was a little hypocritical, she was obviously so busy.

"No, it's okay, the competition is important, you all have a smooth journey, next time...see you next time."

No one thought that Xie Shi'an would miss the promise to spend her birthday with her, and the next time she said to see her would come soon.

half year later.

A normal training day.

Xie Shi'an walked into the stadium with his bag on his back.

Before Wan Jing came, the teammates gathered in small groups to chat, and the conversation was full of excitement.

"Have you heard? A newcomer is coming today."

"Hey, isn't this normal? There are people who come to try out every year, but I'm afraid there are not many who can really stay."

"It's different this time. I heard that Coach Wan personally went to the local team to scoop it up."

Although there are still a few years before the Rio Olympics, except for Xie Shian who can take the lead, the current national team can be said to be out of reach. Ya, Anton in Canada, surrounded by strong enemies, is in the prime of his career, and the task of building a second echelon is urgent. So for more than a year, Wan Jing, apart from guiding them to train and prepare for the Rio Olympics, has been the leader of the whole country. Run around to find good seedlings.

An excellent badminton player has a long training cycle, a lot of effort, and little reward. There are also those who have broken through the layers of selection and entered the national team trial training, but very few of them can persevere.

When Xie Shi'an heard this, he thought he was just an ordinary newcomer, so he ignored it and walked to the other side to warm up.

What she didn't expect was that this "newcomer" was still her acquaintance.

When Jian Changnian, led by Wan Jing, walked into the training room with her bag on her back, she paused when she swung the racket, and the shuttlecock fell to the ground.

"Let me introduce to you. This is Jian Changnian, who is new to our national team for trial training. Welcome with applause."

Sparse applause rang out.

The national team has also changed a lot of new faces.

Someone was whispering next to Xie Shi'an.

"Jian Changnian? The champion of this year's World Youth Championship?"

"Well, I've seen her match, she's amazing. I heard that she's also sister An's junior."

"Even if they are the champions of the World Youth Championship, we Sister An's junior sisters have to follow the rules. It's not certain whether they will stay or not."

Wan Jing coughed lightly.

"Chang Nian, you know, this team entry assessment..."

Jian Changnian looked through the crowd and looked straight at her. With a confident and determined smile on his lips, the young man walked over step by step, stood still in front of her, and stretched out his hand.

"Senior, I want to...challenge you."

According to the rules of the national team, on the first day a newcomer joins the team, in addition to the physical fitness test, he has to challenge any member of the first team. If he wins one round out of three, he will be considered a winner. At this level.

There were many people who wanted to challenge Xie Shi'an, but without exception, they all failed. There was even a rookie who was beaten to the point of autism, and returned to the provincial team crying, threatening never to come again.

Because of this, she got the title of "Ghost Seeing Sorrow".

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the team.

"Wow, isn't it? I'll gnaw on this hard bone of Sister An as soon as I come here."

"The rookie is quite courageous, but he is not afraid of breaking his teeth."

"Do you think Miss An will show mercy?"

"When did she show mercy to others?"

…

It has been more than half a year since we last met.

She has grown taller, and her bones have grown and become stronger. The baby fat on her face has become thinner, and her lines have become sharper. When she smiles, she can vaguely see the shadow of the past.

She's a pretty, upright little girl.

However, by this title, she calls herself senior.

interesting.

An imperceptible smile floated on the corner of Xie Shi'an's lips, and without shaking hands with her, he picked up a racket and threw it over.

"Come on, I won't show mercy."

It seems to have returned to a long time ago, when she was a training partner for herself, the two of them were also like this, each move was different, and they competed with each other. Being lazy is no longer enough.

"There are two things. As expected of the World Youth Championship champion, the first half was tied at 11:11."

"It's been a long time since I've seen Sister An fight so stalemate."

"Hey, what do you know? Didn't you see that Sister An is laughing? Well, I'm still showing mercy."

"Isn't this Sister An's signature move, grab it back?"

"Why, you can't learn it, why don't you let Sister An teach others?"

…

A ball landed.

Xie Shi'an took the lead by one game, and the two sides drew at 22:22 in the second game. Wan Jing applauded approvingly.

"Okay, let's take a break, and gather at the playground at two o'clock in the afternoon for the physical fitness assessment."

It's over. Xie Shi'an originally wanted to go over and talk to her, but who knew the time to turn around and put a racket, Jian Changnian was surrounded by a bunch of people, talking and laughing, as the new champion of the World Youth Championship, of course she She is very popular, and unlike Xie Shi'an, she is soft-tempered and basically never refuses anyone who comes. She soon became friends with these people in the national team, and she is no longer the one who just followed behind her in the past. The bean sprouts ran away.

I don't know why, after realizing this, Xie Shi'an felt a little disappointed, so he didn't call her, and went to eat. When Jian Changnian finally got out of the crowd, there was no one in the training room up.

In the afternoon, since Jian Changnian was new to the team and there were many assessment items, Xie Shi'an finished first and sat under the shade of a tree to rest.

Wan Jing walked up to her and handed her a bottle of water.

"Why, are you unhappy that Chang Nian is here?"

Xie Shi'an watched her dragging tires for running under the scorching sun, she was excellent in terms of physical strength, endurance and technique.

She rarely smiled.

"No, it just feels...she has grown up."

They all called Senior instead of Shi'an, and they were not as clingy to her as before.

Wan Jing felt a sense of regret from these words, and knew that Chang Nian and her were the ones who made it through those hardest days.

"You guys will have a long time as partners in the future."

Xie Shi'an also knew that Wan Jing was a character who would go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, and he recruited Chang Nian from the Binhai provincial team, certainly not just for the simple purpose of building the second echelon of the national team.

Chang Nian's current technology can be used as the main force.

"Is this year's World Championships going to hit medals in all events?"

Wan Jing nodded.

"Yes, according to reliable sources, this year's World Championships, Jin Nanzhi will also participate in the women's doubles competition, so I also found you a partner."

When Jin Nanzhi was mentioned, the smile on Xie Shi'an's face faded.

"I see, I know."

In just over a year, her dominance in the women's singles event was unrivaled, even surpassing that of Yin Jiayi at the beginning. Jin Nanzhi chose to switch to the women's doubles, probably to avoid her edge. But she is already the sworn enemy of the entire national team, neither Wan Jing nor himself will make her feel better.

Wan Jing patted her on the shoulder, got up and left.

"The tacit understanding between you and Chang Nian is invincible. The combination will have an effect of 11>2. The premise is that you don't hide what you have to say."

After the assessment was over, Jian Changnian stayed in the team with excellent results, and received a room card that night to live in the athlete's apartment.

The national team training center has expanded to a new area compared to the last time they came, Xie Shi'an swiped her card and took her into the elevator.

"The cafeteria is on the first floor, the gymnasium and video room are on the second floor, the self-service laundry room is on the third floor, and the dormitory is above the fourth floor. Your room is in 809."

"how about you?"

"I'm next to you."

Jian Changnian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Xie Shi'an knew that she was bullied by her old friend when she was in school.

"You don't have to worry, it's just two people, and our first team now includes you and there are eleven people in total."

That means that there will always be one person who will sleep in the private room, except for her, Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway, who else is there.

Being cared about by others, Jian Changnian frowned, but then thought that the two of them would no longer be able to eat and live together like they used to go out to play games, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Oh."

"Arrived."

The floor indicator is on.

Xie Shi'an stopped at the door of his room.

"rest early."

Jian Chang hesitated to speak.

& Xie Shi'an looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

Jian Changnian bit her lip and shook her head.

"No, nothing, I... I'm going back."

Xie Shi'an nodded slightly, then pushed the door open and went in.

Jian Changnian sighed towards the empty corridor.

It seems that she really forgot about her birthday.

Returning to the room, putting away her things, Jane went to take a shower by herself, just took off her clothes, wiped a handful of shampoo on her head, and turned the shower, the air was silent for a few seconds, without any movement.

Reluctantly, she twisted it back and forth a few more times, and the shower completely stopped working in her hands.

Jian Changnian looked at the broken shower head and wanted to cry.

Xie Shi'an had just finished taking a shower and before he had time to lie down, he heard someone knocking on the door.

She walked over while putting on the mask.

"Who is it?"

"it's me."

Xie Shi'an opened the door a crack, and couldn't help laughing when he saw her appearance.

Jian Changnian was wearing a camisole, loose sports shorts, holding a toothbrush and toothpaste mouthwash cup in her hand, shampoo foam was all over her hair and on her face.

"What's wrong?"

"The shower is broken and there is no water."

"I'm going down to the apartment manager."

Xie Shi'an is about to go out.

Jian Changnian hurriedly blocked the way.

"I accidentally broke the shower head, and I don't know when it will be fixed. I... I want to borrow your dormitory, take a shower first, and talk about it tomorrow."

Xie Shi'an also knew that she was tired all day and wanted to rest early, and it was really hard to see people in her current state.

It was rare for her to have a bad thought, and teased.

"Isn't it senior?"

Jian Changnian twitched and let out a low voice.

"Senior Sister."

Xie Shi'an wants to close the door.

"You go find someone else."

"Hey, don't, Shi'an, so Shi'an, who do you want me to go to this night, the whole national team, I know you best."

After saying this, Xie Shi'an felt relieved all of a sudden, and slightly curved the corners of his lips to give way.

"come in."

"The shower gel is on the shelf to your right. You didn't bring a towel, did you?"

Jian Changnian shook her head in a daze, not having time to buy it yet.

"Then use mine first."

Xie Shi'an took a light blue towel for her.

"The hair dryer is in the basket under the sink, and the row of bottles and jars to the left of the mirror are all my skin care products, you can use them after you take a shower."

Jian Changnian glanced at it, and saw that there were many kinds of them, and the categories were complete.

"You... have a lot of things."

Xie Shi'an bent the corner of his lips.

"I can't help it. Some of them are given by the brand. Now I have to go to the TV every now and then. I still have to clean myself up. You wash it, I'm going out."

"it is good."

The water washes over my body, which is very warm.

Jian Changnian narrowed her eyes comfortably, and when she took Xie Shi'an's light blue towel to wipe her hair after taking a shower, a fresh and pleasant smell faintly wafted from her nose.

Like summer sea salt and lemon.

So refreshing and refreshing.

It was Xie Shi'an's smell.

She couldn't help but picked it up again, put it between her nose and sniffed it lightly, and there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"It's been a long time, how are you?"

Jian Changnian, who realized what he was doing, turned red all of a sudden, and hurriedly put on his clothes.

"Okay, okay."

Xie Shi'an watched her come out, a little suspicious.

"Don't you blow your hair?"

"Stop blowing, it's very hot."

"I'll catch a cold."

Jian Changnian smiled.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

She didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, so she turned her head to the other side and saw another empty bed.

"Where's your roommate?"

"Going home on vacation."

With a thought, Jian Changnian mustered up her courage and said.

"Then... can I sleep with you?"

The girl's enunciation is very brisk, and the ending sound rises a little bit, as if she is acting like a baby.

She stood here, her eyes were wet, like a deer, her face was still a little red, shy and timid.

Xie Shi'an's heart softened.

Forget it, long time no see.

"Just blow dry your hair."

The two lay side by side on the crowded small bed, Jian Changnian rubbed against her and hugged her arm.

His arm was pressed by something soft, and it took Xie Shi'an a while to realize what it was.

After all, it's different from before. The previous Jian Changnian was dry, like a thin and weak monkey with malnutrition.

Now she is a beautiful girl.

Xie Shi'an wanted to pull his hand out in embarrassment.

Jane Chang couldn't let it go, and looked up at her, her eyes hurt a little.

"Shi'an, can't we be as good as before? Why do you always try to avoid me?"

Xie Shi'an couldn't laugh or cry.

"why do you say so?"

"I haven't seen you smile since I was in the national team, and you didn't show mercy when you played against me."

"I want to find you after the fight, but you have already left."

"Don't let me in at night."

Jian Changnian said a lot in one breath, and almost counted on her fingers. In their friendship, she has always been the more honest.

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

"Who told you to be so polite when you come up?"

Polite to a little rusty.

And so popular.

Jian Changnian was choked and muttered softly.

"Then who made you promise to spend my birthday with me and never come back?"

After the World Championships, it was only a week before Jian Changnian's birthday. At that time, Xie Shi'an had promised her that she would fly back to Jiangcheng to celebrate her adult ceremony with her. I went to London to prepare for the battle, so I missed her birthday. I also called to apologize at that time, but I didn't expect that she said she didn't care, but she still had it in her heart.

It was rare for her to have a small temper, Xie Shi'an was not angry, but turned over and fumbled for something on the bedside table.

"What are you looking for?"

Xie Shi'an turned back.

"Give me your hand."

Jian Changnian stretched out his right hand in a daze.

In the darkness, Xie Shi'an bent the corner of his lips.

"Left hand."

"Oh."

She obeyed, and then felt a chill on her wrist, and was held by a thin red rope.

Jian Changnian put her hand in front of her eyes to have a look.

"so cute."

She is a rat, so Xie Shi'an bought a round-headed and round-brained zodiac mouse bracelet, which is still golden.

"Is it pure gold?"

Xie Shi'an was speechless.

"Why don't you bite your teeth and see?"

Jian Chang's smiling eyes were gone.

"No need, I like whatever Shi'an sends."

Seeing that she liked it, Xie Shi'an felt relieved.

"I was thinking of giving it to you the next time I go back to Jiangcheng. Who knew you would come to the national team so soon, that's fine."

"Late... happy birthday."

Jian Changnian hugged her generously, raised her head and smiled.

"It's not too late. I've received a lot of gifts this year, but this one from you is my favorite."

"If you like it, go to sleep."

"Good night."

"Good night."

Before the college entrance examination, Zhou Mu took time to go back to Jiangcheng City. Apart from dealing with his student status, he also visited Cheng Zhen in prison.

Since his accident, Zhou Mu was sent away by his parents. The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time. They looked at each other through the bars, looking at each other silently, and they were a little strange.

Zhou Mu looked at him with a short cut, wearing an orange prison uniform, handcuffed and shackled, and couldn't help but get red again.

"you…"

"you…"

The two spoke at the same time.

Cheng Zhen smiled.

"You go ahead."

"Are you okay?" Zhou Mu held back tears and smiled.

"I am OK, you."

"I'm fine too."

Cheng Zhen lowered his head and picked at the barbs on his fingers, feeling that she had become more mature and beautiful after two years of absence, and she was a little ashamed of herself.

She sent letters almost every week without interruption. It wasn't that she didn't understand her thoughts, but now he couldn't respond at all, and he didn't deserve to respond.

Zhou Mu's academic performance is very good, and he is about to take the college entrance examination. He will have a bright future in the future, so there is no need to get entangled with him, a person with a criminal record.

Cheng Zhen was silent for a while, and spoke with difficulty.

"Thanks to you sending letters from time to time, but in the future... I don't think... it's necessary, you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted.

Zhou Mu: "Cheng Zhen, I...I want to apply for the law department of H University."

Cheng Zhen raised his head all of a sudden, and said eagerly.

"Why do you suddenly want to study law? Didn't you like painting and photography the most before? I always thought you would be a painter or a photographer."

Zhou Mu smiled wryly.

"It's not sudden, since you... have this idea."

After Cheng Zhen’s accident, although the loan shark gang that killed his father had been brought to justice, he was sentenced to seven years in prison for negligent death. During this period, he appealed many times but the court still upheld the original sentence. Afterwards he also became disheartened.

When everyone gave up, it turned out that Zhou Mu was still worthless for him.

The once cheerful boy's eyes slowly turned red again.

"No, you have given up a lot of things, my friend, the badminton you love, and now I don't want you to give up your hobbies for me and do something you don't like at all."

"Cheng Zhen...but I..."

Once reduced from a swimming champion to a prisoner, he could have stood on the highest podium like Xie Shi'an and Jian Changnian.

Hearing what he said, Zhou Mu burst into tears. With his current state, he really couldn't remain indifferent.

Seeing her crying, the boy raised his hand to touch her face, but accidentally touched the cold iron window.

He drooped his shoulders dejectedly.

"Go away, I beg you, don't change your will, unless you want me to be a sinner for the rest of my life."
