MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 22 friendship

From that day to the following week, Xie Shi'an's punishment alone turned into a group activity of three people.

Jian Changnian and Qiao Yuchu accompanied her to clean until late at night, and the three of them went back to the dormitory together. Although Xie Shi'an couldn't participate in the training, she was often the first one to get up in the dormitory. Others were still washing their faces and brushing their teeth. Run downstairs.

When the morning exercise whistle blew, she could not participate in the training camp, so she went back to the dormitory alone, and used the canopy bed to practice some physical fitness and core strength.

When the plasters from someone on the table became less and less, and Xie Shi'an's right hand could move freely, the week passed.

weekend off.

Jian Changnian wanted to go to the Chenxing Club for an interview, but Qiao Yuchu planned to go with her, so she ran over and asked her, "Are you going?"

Xie Shi'an pulled the canopy bed to do pull-ups.

"No."

"Well, anyway, I haven't played a few training games this week, and my hands are itchy, so it's fine if someone doesn't go."

Xie Shi'an paused, and her body sank, and she pulled herself up again.

A certain person who said he would not go but actually had itchy hands showed up at the Chenxing Club on time on the weekend.

While playing with others, Xie Shi'an paid close attention to Cao Rui's situation.

I saw that Jian Changnian had played a few tricks with Ren, and carried him away 2:0.

Cao Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel: "Okay, you, you are not old, you are not young, you have the demeanor of Shi'an back then."

Although Cao Rui is an amateur player, at least he has been in this industry for more than ten years, and he has fought against many masters. He has been influenced by his ears and eyes, and his strength is not bad. Jiangcheng City can't beat him 2-0. indivual.

Jian Changnian knew that the matter of sparring was settled, and happily took the racket and hopped around in a circle.

"Great! Thank you, I will definitely work hard in the future!"

"Hey, don't be so polite, you are Shi'an's friend, just call me Brother Cao."

Jian Changnian yelled crisply: "Okay, Brother Cao!"

When Cao Rui returned to the rest area, Xie Shi'an was also drinking water here: "Who is friends with her?"

"Hey, it's not a friend. You bring someone to apply for a job. If they have no place to live, you bring them home..."

Before the words were finished, Xie Shi'an got up and walked towards the court.

"boring."

After Xie Shi'an took a break, he wanted to wear headphones to listen to music, but the two people in front kept chatting.

Qiao Yuchu stood holding Jian Changnian's shoulders, holding a racket in his hand and pointing at the customers playing in the field from time to time.

"Look, the slightly fatter uncle in black is a physical education teacher at Jian'an Middle School and a retired professional player."

"And that one, the one in blue, from the city team."

"That, that girl in white, one of the champions of the Jiangcheng University League and team competition."

Qiao Yuchu pointed around, basically she knew all the famous ones.

Jian Changnian was dazzled and stunned.

"Wow, they are all amazing, how do you know so many people?"

Qiao Yuchu turned around and winked at Xie Shi'an.

"We have to ask our classmate Xiao Xie about this."

Jian Changnian understood that it must be Xie Shi'an who took her to "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" everywhere to find someone to play with.

Xie Shi'an stuffed the earphones into his ears, so he couldn't hear and was not disturbed.

Qiao Yuchu turned around and patted her on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"If you can beat these people once, you will definitely benefit a lot."

Before the words were finished, the girl companion in white just picked up the phone and left, spinning the racket by herself, bored.

Qiao Yuchu pushed the person out, and made a cheering gesture to her: "Go, go! I believe you can do it!"

"Ah? I...Can I do it?" Jian Changnian still hesitated.

Qiao Yuchu kept gesturing at her: "Go, go, isn't this a great opportunity, it can make money and practice skills."

The movement on their side finally caught the attention of the girl in white clothes, and she looked over with kind and curious eyes.

Jian Changnian saw that someone would find out, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over, stretched out his hand to him, and summoned up his courage.

"Hello, can I play ball with you?"

"Okay, my friend is gone and I'm bored, let's play together."

The girl accepted Jian Changnian's invitation while talking and laughing.

Xie Shi'an got up and walked out the door with his bag on his back.

Qiao Yuchu: "Hey, why are you going?"

"I'm hungry, take a shower and find a place to eat."

"Don't wait to read it often?"

"She's still early."

Qiao Yu thought about it for a while, seeing how the two of them were fighting in full swing, it probably wouldn't end in a while.

She ran over to say hello to Jian Changnian: "Shi'an and I are going to have something to eat first, and you will wait for us at the club after you finish."

"Okay." Jian Changnian also waved the racket at her.

The girl was about the same age as her, and she was pretty good among amateur players. She played back and forth with her, and it was not until the third game that the winner was decided. Jian Changnian won the game 2:1.

After the fight, the girl took the initiative to shake hands with her: "It seems that you and Qiao Yuchu are quite familiar, you are..."

Jian Changnian smiled and shook her hand back: "We are teammates."

The girl smiled, and the expression on her face was half envious and half melancholy: "No wonder you are so good, so you are also a professional player."

Jian Changnian scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly.

"No... I'm still training, so I'm not really a professional player."

"It's great to be able to go to the training camp, I want to go too but..."

The smile on the girl's face was a bit bitter, and her voice lowered.

Seeing her sad look, Jian Changnian asked softly.

"I heard Yuchu said that you are one of the champions of the Jiangcheng University League team competition, and you are qualified for training camp. Why don't you go?"

For those who can play in the club, it is estimated that the financial situation of the family will not be too bad.

The girl packed her backpack with a brisk voice, hiding the sadness on her face.

"The college entrance examination is coming soon. My parents won't let me, so I didn't go. I have to study during this winter vacation. Today is also the last time I will come out to play ball..."

The girl tidied up her backpack, threw it on her shoulders, and when she raised her head, her hearty smile resumed.

"Well, I am really happy to play with you today, and I hope you can become a real professional player."

The girl turned and left, Jian Changnian was still in a daze, Cao Rui patted her on the shoulder: "You did a good job today, this is your salary."

She looked down at the hundred dollars, and suddenly came to her senses. Before she had time to thank Cao Rui, she took the money and ran after it out of the arena.

"Please, please wait a moment." Jian Changnian stammered.

The girl looked back at her curiously.

On the crowded road, the bus passed slowly.

Jian Changnian ran to the vending machine on the side of the road, chose the most expensive drink, paid for it, walked to her side, and stuffed it into her hand.

"I also wavered and gave up at that time. My coach told me that no matter whether I will play badminton or not in the future, I hope I can find the value of my life, and so do you."

The word "Come on" is printed on the small drink bottle.

The girl looked at it for a long time, her eye sockets gradually became wet, but a big smile appeared on the corners of her lips, and she called out to Jian Changnian who ran away: "Hey, what's your name?"

"Jane, Chang, Nian." Jian Changnian turned around and waved.

"Come on, I will definitely watch your games in the future!"

The childish voices of the two were blown far away by the wind.

On the way back, Jian Changnian kept bouncing around holding the first sum of money she earned. She saw a milk tea shop on the side of the road, surrounded by many people, stopped, and said to the two people behind her.

"Let me buy you something to drink."

Knowing her family situation at the beginning, Qiao Yu quickly refused.

"No, no, we just ate and couldn't drink."

Xie Shi'an was not polite: "I want to eat ice cream."

The poster of the milk tea shop reads: Winter special, buy one ice cream and get one free.

Qiao Yuchu also came to his senses: "Then I'll have one too."

"it is good!"

Jian Chang responded crisply, squeezed in from the crowd, and handed the money to the boss: "Auntie, two ice creams."

Jian Changnian, who came back with ice cream, handed one to each other, while Qiao Yuchu took her own: "Why don't you eat it?"

Jian Changnian scratched her head: "I..."

There will be no discount if you buy another one, she is reluctant.

Qiao Yuchu handed her his own: "Here, try it, bite this side, I haven't eaten it before."

Jian Changnian was eating ice cream for the first time, and looked at it eagerly: "I...can I?"

"It's okay! Let's eat together, or do you dislike me?"

"No." Jian Changnian waved his hands again and again, blushing and took a bite, the sweet taste melted on the tip of his tongue.

"Well... so cold, but also so sweet."

Just one sip made her narrow her eyes in satisfaction.

"Yes, yes, ice cream is suitable for eating in winter."

The two were talking, and Xie Shi'an walked ahead with ice cream.

"There will be no car later."

"Come, come, don't rush."

＊＊＊

When Jian Changnian and the others were preparing to return, Sun Qian was still singing in the KTV.

After the song was over, she looked at her watch: "Brother, I have to go, there will be no car if it's later."

The man sitting next to her grabbed her shoulders with a cigarette in his hand, reeking of alcohol.

"Oh, let's have a drink with my brothers."

The man saw that her expression was not interesting, and took some money out of the purse and put it on the table.

"Let's go down here, brother will take you back later."

In the middle of the night, when Sun Qian came out of the KTV, there were already people waiting on the side of the road. Cheng Zhen saw that she was staggering, so he hurried over to help her steady.

"Why did you drink so much?"

"Student reunion, drink more."

Sun Qian smiled, her eyes were a little blurred, and she leaned over to Cheng Zhen: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Cheng Zhen opened the car door for her: "Hey, I came here when I saw your message. Anyway, I have to go back to the training base, so I'll drop by."

After Sun Qian sat still, he beckoned the driver to drive. Sun Qian glanced at the scarf around his neck and smiled.

"Your scarf is very pretty, where did you buy it?"

"A gift from a friend."

Sun Qian gave a meaningful "Oh" and stopped talking, leaning on the seat and falling asleep.

Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, Cheng Zhen was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he softly ordered the driver to turn up the air conditioner, and took off his coat to cover her body.

＊＊＊

Jian Changnian, who returned to the training base, did not go to rest, but ran 1500 meters on the playground, went to the training room to play a game of ball, and then returned to the dormitory.

The roommates were all asleep, breathing lightly.

Jian Changnian tiptoed to wash up. After washing, she went back to the dormitory and looked at the upper bunk. Sun Qian still didn't come back. She didn't know why she went so late.

She shook her head, left a door open for her, turned on the lamp and sat at the table to write in her diary.

It cost six yuan to buy a drink.

It cost three yuan to buy ice cream for Xie Shi'an and sister Yuchu.

The fare is four yuan, leaving eighty-seven yuan.

The ice cream is delicious and sweet. When I earn money in the future, I will treat them to a big meal, ah, yes, and Zhou Mu.

After the training camp is over, I can go home to see my grandma. Winter is coming, and her legs may hurt again. This money can be saved for her to buy knee pads.

After writing this, Jian Changnian involuntarily smiled, put the rest of the money into the diary, and stuffed it under the pillow together.

Sun Qian thought that the door of the dormitory was locked, but she opened it with a light push. She was a little surprised, and saw that the light was still on by Jian Changnian's bed.

"Are you still awake?"

Jian Changnian pressed her finger on her lips to signal her to whisper: "Shh, I just came back from the training room not long ago, it seems that no one wants to leave a door for you on your bed."

The dim light seemed to be the only source of heat in this winter night.

Sun Qian smiled. She was about to say something, but her eyes fell on the red scarf hanging beside her bed. Her smile seemed to be floating on the water, and it disappeared with a flick of her hand.

"Thank you."

Jian Changnian lay on the bed, and whispered: "It's okay, they are all in the same dormitory, can you turn off the lights for me after you finish cleaning later?"

Sun Qian nodded: "Okay, good night."

"Good night."
