MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 38 National Competition (2)

That being said, after the day's game, Jian Changnian still ran to the Zhejiang team, found Yin Jiayi in the crowd, mustered up his courage, and handed over a notebook.

"That... I have a friend who likes you very much, can you sign her name?"

Yin Jiayi didn't seem to expect that she would come looking for her, she looked slightly startled, it stands to reason that she beat people up pretty badly, and even a teenager's self-esteem would make it hard for someone to humbly beg her opponent.

Her teammates pulled her away.

"Jiayi, let's go, from the Coastal Province team, don't pay attention to her."

The expression on Jian Changnian's face was a little hurt, and the hand that was extended was about to be withdrawn, Yin Jiayi paused, took out the pen from her backpack, walked back to her in two or three steps, and took the notebook in her hand Shua Shua Shua signed a line.

What it says is: Come on, the future can be expected.

Signed: Yin Jiayi.

Jian Changnian looked at the line and smiled knowingly.

"Thank you, senior."

A smile appeared on the corner of Yin Jiayi's lips.

"I hope to have the opportunity to fight against you next time."

Jian Changnian nodded firmly.

"Yes, if there is a next time, I won't lose again."

Yin Jiayi was noncommittal, nodded, turned and left.

After the signing episode, the group returned to the training base. Both the men's team and the women's team won today. Yan Xinyuan was overjoyed and ordered the cafeteria to cook some good dishes for dinner together in the evening.

After a tiring day, everyone was hungry, so they sat around in the cafeteria early before dinner.

Qiao Yuchu distributed tableware to everyone.

"One, two, three, four, five... No, why is there an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, who didn't come?"

Everyone looked at each other, Jian Changnian's roommate took a look at no one around him: "Chang Nian didn't come."

"Where is she? Have you seen it?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Go back to the base and disappear."

Just as the dishes were served, Yan Xinyuan put down his chopsticks.

"Eat it while it's hot, and I'll go find her."

When he got up to leave, Xie Shi'an answered.

"Coach Yan, if you are not in the training room, you are in the small playground."

Yan Xinyuan nodded and left the cafeteria.

Qiao Yuchu gave her an elbow.

"Okay, I know people so well."

Xie Shi'an didn't change his face and put the big chicken leg in the basin into his own bowl: "I just don't want anyone to delay my meal."

Seeing her move her chopsticks, Qiao Yuchu was not to be outdone.

"Hey, leave one for me."

＊＊＊

As soon as Yan Xinyuan walked to the door of the training room, he heard the sound of hitting the ball inside. He poked his head and saw that Jian Changnian was here alone and practiced repeatedly.

With the sound of the soles rubbing against the floor, the sweat on the tip of her hair also hit the floor drop by drop.

Yan Xinyuan knocked lightly on the door.

"Little Jane, it's time to eat."

Jian Chang heard the words, looked back, and kept moving her hands.

"Coach Yan, I'm not hungry, you guys eat first."

"People are iron, rice is steel, and there will be a competition tomorrow."

He came over and patted her on the shoulder, Jian Changnian then put down the racket in his hand, and walked out together with others, she saw Yan Xinyuan's slightly hunched back walking in front, for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable stand up.

"Coach Yan, I didn't play well today."

Yan Xinyuan didn't hide it from her.

..."To be honest, I didn't think you would win today."

"Then you still..." Jian Changnian was a little puzzled, since she knew that there was no suspense in this match, she was arranged for the first match.

"Sometimes absorbing experience from the strong is more important than winning or losing a game."

Yan Xinyuan turned his head, and there seemed to be deep meaning in his eyes.

Jian Changnian's eyes lit up, as if he had been awakened all of a sudden.

"Coach Yan, Coach Yan, is the video of today's game released? I... I want to borrow it to see."

Yan Xinyuan also laughed.

"It's okay, but we have to finish eating first."

Jian Changnian readily agreed, with a bright smile on her lips again.

"Okay! I can eat ten cows now!"

"If you don't run faster, the meat will be picked by them."

Upon hearing this, she was still a child after all, so Jian Chang ran away screaming.

"Ahhh, Coach Yan, I'm leaving first, Xie Shi'an, sister Yuchu, please leave me a mouthful!"

It is impossible to keep it for her. Before she came, Xie Shi'an grabbed a few pieces of meat and put them in his bowl. If Qiao Yuchu hadn't prepared meals for her in advance, maybe she would come later At one point, the rice was gone.

Jian Changnian said vaguely while devouring, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

After the meal, Xie Shi'an, who was supposed to go back to rest, did not return to the dormitory, but went to Yan Xinyuan's office.

She knocked lightly on the door.

"Coach Yan."

"Come in, what's the matter?"

Xie Shi'an hesitated for a while, and then said, "I want to borrow the video tape from today's game from you."

Yan Xinyuan was sitting at the desk writing something, when he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at her.

"That's really unfortunate, Chang Nian just came to borrow it."

"Is that so..." Xie Shi'an nodded, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Then I won't bother you."

Yan Xinyuan put the cap on the pen and smiled.

"Is there nothing you want to tell me?"

"I..." Xie Shi'an choked for a moment, knowing that he was referring to the matter of choking with him in front of so many people in today's game, and whispered.

"I apologized to you, and... the game was won."

Yan Xinyuan shook his head, his eyes under the reading glasses were peaceful and sincere.

"I'm not talking about that, I'm saying—trust."

The young man froze for a moment, and gradually pursed the corners of his lips.

"I know you want to win, and I do the same as the head coach, I hope you will trust me, don't question any of the decisions I make, see me as your ally in the same trenches, not your enemy, because I'm with you The goal is the same, which is to stand on a higher podium."

"Coach Yan..." The boy's indifferent expression loosened a bit.

The longer we get along, the more Yan Xinyuan can understand that Xie Shi'an is like the villain of Jian Changnian, an innocent, pure and impeccable person, his heart is always open and bright, like a little sun, inadvertently can infect others.

She is taciturn and unsmiling. Perhaps her childhood experience made her sensitive and suspicious, and she doesn't like to be disciplined and persuaded. She is not the kind of person who will stick to the rules and hides many secrets in her heart.

It's just that under her hard exterior, occasionally there will be a trace of warmth, like a winter jasmine hidden under the winter snow, and because of this, it is commendable.

The boy finally bowed his head and once again sincerely apologized.

"I shouldn't question your tactics, nor should I refute you in front of so many people, I won't do it in the future."

"During the team competition, the interests of the team are the most important. When you shine in the individual events, are you afraid that you will not meet the national players?"

Yan Xinyuan smiled and looked at her with deep meaning.

"However, I think of one thing when you are like this. Since you want to compete with the national players so much, why didn't you go to the national team for further study when there were promotion places in the previous few sessions?"

Xie Shi'an didn't expect him to ask this, the night outside the window was dark, the room was silent, and a needle could be heard.

Her breathing was stagnant.

"I...I have my own plan."

"No matter what the plan is, money is hard to buy when you are a teenager, especially for athletes."

Xie Shi'an nodded solemnly: "I see, Coach Yan."

When she was about to turn around and leave, she was stopped again.

Yan Xinyuan pointed to the band-aids on the table.

"That, take it away."

Xie Shi'an was startled, and then he realized it immediately. He looked at a small wound on his elbow, which was caused by a fall while saving a ball in the game today. She didn't care about this small wound at all. superior.

Yan Xinyuan not only saw it, but also remembered it clearly.
