MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 108 Tanabata

Jian Changnian stayed in the national team, trained as usual, and Xie Shi'an made jokes. There was no difference in life, except for the fact that she was going to play women's doubles with her partner.

Playing basketball is not like everyday life, even the best friends need to get in touch on the field, not to mention they haven't seen each other for a while.

Wan Jing frowned and watched them fight twice.

"Stop, are you used to playing women's singles, especially Shi'an always wants to control the audience, it's okay if you give two **** to Chang Nian, she can catch it, why don't you trust her so much?"

Xie Shi'an moved his lips, just about to explain.

Jian Changnian spoke first.

"Coach Wan, it's my problem, I didn't keep up with her rhythm."

Wan Jing frowned even deeper.

"Okay, you don't have to explain it to her. You have a big problem too. When you change positions in midfield, you only see the ball, and the racket almost hits the back of someone else's head."

The two looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.

Wan Jing also knew that this would not be resolved in a short while.

"Okay, let's stop here today. I feel that you haven't played together for a long time. You are also a little rusty emotionally. Two people play or two people. The cooperation is not tacit enough. It has not reached the point where you can understand with just one look. .”

"In addition to training, we usually spend more time playing together and running in. There is not much time left for you."

The day when the training match ended happened to be Friday.

Tomorrow is a holiday.

Xie Shi'an took a shower and sat on the sofa to dry his hair. The TV was on and the sports news was being broadcast.

"Recently, the South Korean badminton doubles team Kim Nam-ji and her partner Cui Huixi won the Korean Open in one fell swoop, and have confirmed their qualifications for the doubles at the World Championships."

Her hand holding the hair dryer froze for a moment.

Coach Wan's words rang in his ears.

"I feel that you haven't played together for a long time, and you are a little rusty emotionally. Apart from training, you spend more time playing together. There is not much time left for you."

Xie Shi'an thought for a while, turned off the TV, and took out two tickets to the amusement park from the pocket of his coat that was put aside.

Jian Changnian was also a little restless when she came back. On the one hand, she did not perform well in the training competition, and she was not very happy. On the other hand, she also wanted to find an excuse to ask Xie Shi'an to go out to play.

After thinking about it, she remembered that there was a snack street behind the training base, why not ask her out for dinner!

She opened the door excitedly.

Xie Shi'an was standing outside the door, startled.

Jian Changnian almost touched the tip of her nose, so he quickly took a step back and smiled sarcastically.

"I just wanted to find you."

Xie Shi'an hesitated, but still handed the two tickets in his hand to her eyes.

It was the first time for her to invite someone to the playground, so she was a little shy and looked away.

"Uh... the last time I played the game, the fans gave me two tickets to the playground. If I don't go, it will expire. Didn't Coach Wan also say that we should play together more and cultivate our relationship? You... go ?"

There was a huge surprise in Jian Changnian's eyes, as if she didn't expect that she would take the initiative to invite him out to play, and forgot to answer for a while.

Xie Shi'an didn't wait for a response for a long time, so he put his hand away.

"It's fine if you don't go."

Jian Changnian came back to her senses and pulled him back.

"Hey, go, go, wait for me to change clothes."

＊＊＊

The playground on a Friday night was full of people.

I don't know what day it is today. It seems that there will be a float parade, and it is crowded with people, making it difficult to move.

The night at the end of July was still unbearably hot.

Xie Shi'an followed the crowd for a while, sweat dripped from the tip of his nose, Jian Changnian saw an ice cream seller not far ahead, his eyes lit up, and he squeezed past.

"Shi'an, there is an ice cream seller, I'm going to buy two ice creams, you wait for me here."

Before Xie Shi'an could stop her, she disappeared into the crowd.

Her eyesight was poor at night, she was thin and nimble like a fish, Xie Shi'an was squeezed and took two steps, and after turning around, she was no longer visible.

She turned around anxiously on the spot twice.

"Where are people?"

The crowd pushed her forward again.

Xie Shi'an finally squeezed to the side of the ice cream truck.

"Boss, did you see a girl who came to buy ice cream just now, she is about this tall and thin."

She roughly compared her height.

The boss waved impatiently.

"I didn't see it, I didn't see it, don't delay my business."

Xie Shi'an licked his lips, before she could say anything, someone bumped her shoulder again, and pushed her forward two steps.

She came back to her senses, took out her mobile phone from her pocket and called Jian Changnian.

"Sorry, the call you made is currently unanswered."

At that moment, she thought of many cases of abduction and trafficking of women and children to remote mountainous areas. They were all taken away from the downtown area in full view, and her hairs stood on end.

Jian Changnian is so innocent and easy to deceive.

Her whole face suddenly turned pale.

Xie Shi'an saw a police booth not far away, and was about to rush forward. At this moment, he heard a familiar voice from the carousel next to him.

Although there was a lot of voices around her and her voice was scattered in the wind, it was inaudible, but she turned her head back at that moment.

"Little friend, don't cry, next time you come out to play, hold your mother's hand well, don't get lost again."

Jian Changnian sent the lost child to her parents, and the parents kept thanking her.

"Thank you, thank you, if it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do tonight."

"It's okay, it's nothing more than a little effort."

"Say goodbye to my sister."

"Sister, goodbye."

The child hugged her leg, and bid farewell to her in a childlike voice. Jian Chang's mind almost melted, and he patted her head.

Xie Shi'an walked over and happened to see this scene, he was relieved and heaved a sigh of relief.

"When I said I was going to buy ice cream, it turned out that I was going to do good deeds."

Jian Changnian scratched her head in embarrassment.

"I just saw a child crying."

Xie Shi'an thought to himself: You have just grown up, you can be considered a child, you are so thin, you don't have a clue, you are not familiar with the place, the bad guys want to take you away, you are knocked out, put on a sack, carried it, and ran away.

But she just said it.

"There are a lot of people at night, don't get separated."

Jian Changnian was taken aback, and a big smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

"Are you worried about me?"

Xie Shi'an turned around and left.

"You're probably a little too self-indulgent."

Jian Changnian bounced and walked beside her, secretly looking up at her. Although the man had no expression on his face, it was not difficult to see a little nervousness from the sweat on her forehead and the corners of her lips.

There was a burst of sweetness in her heart for no reason. Seeing that there were also girlfriends walking hand in hand beside her, she dared to hold her hand lightly, turned her head away, and said solemnly.

"I'll hold you, so you won't get lost."

In the dim light of the playground, Xie Shi'an slightly bent the corner of her lips. After walking for so long, she was indeed a little thirsty.

"By the way, where's the ice cream you bought?"

Jian Changnian just remembered this, feeling a little embarrassed.

"In order to coax the child, I gave it to her."

Xie Shi'an: "..."

"I'll go buy another one."

Xie Shi'an pulled him back.

"Forget it, let's play with the big pendulum first, it's our turn."

Big pendulum, roller coaster, jumping machine...

Xie Shi'an was playing something exciting, Jian Changnian was purely trying to drive the ducks to the shelf, with a pale face, he held her hand tightly, huddled on the seat and did not dare to move.

Hearing the screams of the crowd around him, feeling the gust of wind rushing towards him, and the adrenaline rush brought about by the sudden fall from the highest point, Xie Shi'an opened his arms excitedly on the roller coaster.

The lights of the playground swept over her like a torrent.

Her eyes are as bright as stars.

Since Coach Yan passed away, Jian Changnian hadn't seen her so happy for a long time.

That unabashed, heartfelt smile.

Jian Changnian looked at her side face and thought: Even though I am still very scared, it is not impossible to sit with her again.

Finally, playing until late at night, I checked all the items, except the haunted house.

Jian Changnian looked curiously at the dark house in front of him.

"Shi'an, Shi'an, we still haven't played with this."

Xie Shi'an took a look, then turned and left.

"It's closing soon, let's go back."

Jian Changnian pulled him back.

"Oh, it's all here, you're not afraid, are you?"

Now that she said so, Xie Shi'an walked in first, and sat in the first row of the small train under the guidance of the staff.

The staff saw her expression as if she was facing a big enemy.

"The lights inside are very dim. If you are afraid of the dark, you can change with the passengers behind you."

Jian Changnian also patted her on the shoulder.

"Pick up..."

Before the words fell, Xie Shi'an bit the bullet and said.

"No, let's start."

"Okay, please fasten your seat belt."

When the seat belt snapped into the buckle on the seat, Xie Shi'an's heart skipped a beat. The next second, the train started and drove into the dark and narrow tunnel.

Before her eyes got used to the dim light, she felt something suddenly popping out from the right.

A white shadow passed by.

Her exposed arm was cold and someone touched it.

Xie Shi'an's hairs stood on end, he subconsciously shrank back and bumped into the seat.

"what-!"

"Pick up!"

Jian Changnian supported her shoulders from behind, and felt her body trembling slightly.

The little train was still moving forward, and since the night show was almost over, there was no one in the haunted house except them.

She is afraid.

Jian Changnian licked her lips, regretting bringing her here.

She leaned forward a little so that Xie Shi'an could feel her presence, then reached out and gently covered her eyes.

"Shi'an, if you are afraid, close your eyes and don't look."

When the world was completely dark, only her voice could be heard, Xie Shi'an followed the source of the sound, turned his head slightly, and buried his face in her palm.

Once again, she felt the word "peace of mind" from Jian Changnian.

Her eyelashes fluttered in her palms.

Jian Changnian was itchy all over.

Fortunately, time will soon be over.

The train got out of the hole, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Jane often wanted to pull her down.

Xie Shi'an left without looking back.

I don't know if I'm angry or what.

She hastened to catch up.

"Hey, Shi'an, Shi'an, I'm sorry, I won't bring you to the haunted house next time..."

Xie Shi'an wasn't angry, but just felt a little humiliated.

The two of them walked to the gate of the amusement park, and the crowd had almost cleared away. The little flower seller who had been wandering around for a long time saw someone coming out, her eyes lit up, and she rushed to meet him.

"Brother, today is Qixi Festival, buy a branch of flowers for your girlfriend, it's very cheap."

Jian Changnian was taken aback, he was so busy training that he couldn't see the sun, so it turned out that today is Qixi Festival.

After a while, she came back to her senses, awkwardly at a loss, and glanced at Xie Shi'an, who was also looking at her lightly, with teasing in her eyes.

"Ah, I...I'm not...she's not my girlfriend!"

Jian Changnian's face turned red instantly, and she explained incoherently.

It’s no wonder that the little girl would admit her mistake. It was dark at night and she was eager to sell things. Xie Shi’an rarely wore sportswear when she went out today. She had short sleeves and shorts, long legs and a thin waist. Her hair was also long. Tie it up and let it scatter over your shoulders.

Jian Changnian was no different from usual, wearing a loose sweater and sweatpants, her hair was always half-short and not long, and she even wore a peaked cap.

Seen from the backlight, the two walked together, talking and laughing, and behaved intimately, they really looked like a couple.

As soon as she opened her mouth at this moment, the little girl knew she had admitted her mistake, and hurriedly apologized.

"Sorry sorry, I didn't know you were..."

Looking at her, her eyes were red with anxiety, the school uniform she was wearing turned white, and there were still a few unsold roses in the basket.

Jian Chang was moved with compassion.

"it's okay no problem."

The little girl bowed to them sadly, and turned to leave, knowing that most of the roses would not be sold tonight.

Jian Changnian called people to stop.

"How much did it cost? I bought it all."

The little girl was overjoyed, a little unbelievable.

"Ah, really? But the few remaining ones are gone."

Xie Shi'an glanced into the basket.

Except for the ones in the little girl's hands, some of the flowers in the basket did lose their petals.

"It's okay, if she wants to buy it, you can sell it to her."

The little girl counted, and there were only five in total. She handed the flowers over, feeling a little embarrassed.

"That's all that's left, and I can't come up with a good number. I'll charge you ten yuan."

Jian Changnian put two pieces of ten yuan in the basket.

"Don't look for it, let's go home."

The little girl bowed to them gratefully, and then ran away.

Two people stood at the bus stop to stop the bus.

Xie Shi'an: "Why do you think of buying flowers?"

Jian Changnian smiled.

"I just thought that I used to be like this. After school, I would go to the market with my grandma to sell things. They were all insoles that she bought with her own hands. She spent nights and nights until her eyes were broken, and she couldn't earn money. A few dollars."

Xie Shi'an was silent for a while, then said.

"Now grandma no longer has to work from dawn to dusk. When you are free, bring grandma to Beijing to have a look."

Jian Changnian's current salary and bonus are enough to maintain her daily expenses and support her grandmother.

She changed the trajectory of her life through her own efforts.

Jian Changnian was also very happy to hear her say that.

"How can it be, she still can't stay idle. She called me yesterday and said that a few pairs of insoles were rusted, and they have been sent over on the way. There are also some souvenirs. She specially asked me to say that Shi'an loves to eat. I'll leave some for you."

"I also want to bring her to a big city to see her eyes. The medical conditions here are better, but I'm not familiar with Beijing..."

"When grandma comes, I will be with you."

Jian Changnian's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and suddenly saw the flower in his hand, and excitedly handed it over.

"Okay, then...these flowers are for you, as an apology for dragging you into the haunted house, and...thank you for grandma."

Xie Shi'an lowered his head and smelled the roses.

"It's quite fragrant."

At that moment, the breeze lifted the ends of her hair, revealing a delicate side face, and the dim yellow street lamp painted her whole body warm and charming.

Jian Changnian's heart moved slightly, and he blurted out.

"Happy Qixi Festival."

Xie Shi'an turned around and laughed too.

"Happy Tanabata."

When she returned to the dormitory at night, Xie Shi'an didn't bring the key. When her roommate opened the door for her, she saw the flowers in her hand at a glance.

"Hey, who gave it to you? We, Sister An, are already married, right?"

Xie Shi'an scolded with a smile.

"It's nothing. I just went out to play with Chang Nian. On the way back, I saw a little girl selling flowers. I bought it because I was so poor."

That being said, she searched the house for a long time, but couldn't find a vase, so she took a mineral water bottle and cut off the upper half, poured some water into it, and carefully placed the flowers in it.
