MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 57 National Competition (Final)
"Nan Zhi, I can't bear you."
"Nan Zhi, if you have a chance, you must come back and have a look."
"Okay, if you have time to come to Seoul, I will definitely show you around."
Jin Nanzhi dragged his suitcase, hugged and bid farewell to his teammates one by one.
Turning around, Xie Shi'an and Qiao Yuchu walked over slowly.
The young man put his hands in his pockets and spoke in a calm tone.
"Are you going back to Korea?"
Jin Nanzhi nodded, with a bright smile on his lips.
"Yeah, are you here to see me off?"
Xie Shi'an: "..."
Ghosts are here to see you off.
"Jane Changnian said that you are leaving, and asked me to bring a sentence. When we meet next time, I will definitely defeat you."
Jin Nanzhi clicked his tongue twice: "You are really duplicity, you can come when you want, and push it to others."
Xie Shi'an's forehead twitched twice.
Before she got angry, Jin Nanzhi finally remembered another thing.
"I've been busy with training recently. I washed your coat and forgot to return it to you. I'm leaving anyway, so leave it for me as a souvenir."
Xie Shi'an nodded happily, it was just a piece of clothing.
"it is good."
Jin Nanzhi took a step forward and stretched out his fist at her, his eyes sharp.
"The next time we meet is Kim Nam-ji of the South Korean team. I look forward to competing with you on the world stage."
Xie Shi'an smiled slightly and touched his fist.
"Me too, and it didn't make a difference anyway."
No matter how one sentence broke Jin Nanzhi's defense, the eldest lady jumped and screamed again.
The audience hiding in the shadow of the entrance of the gymnasium watched them laughing from a distance, but they didn't have the courage to step forward and hand her the flowers in their hands.
Until, Jin Shunqi's car drove over.
The window rolled down, revealing the owner's handsome face.
"Let's go, Nan Zhi, I'll take you to the airport."
Qiao Yuchu's eyes widened in surprise.
"Jin, is the niece you're talking about..."
"Uncle, where is my birthday present!"
Jin Nanzhi gave a sweet cry and leaned on the car door.
"This is the car. I'll give it to you after you pass the driver's license test."
The moment he saw Jin Shunqi appearing, the expression on Xie Shi'an's face changed subtly.
The corners of the young man's raised lips faded slowly, and he put his hands in his pockets, watching them coldly and exchanging greetings without saying a word.
They are no longer as unfamiliar as when they first met, calling each other's nicknames, so close.
"I heard Nan Zhi mention it before. I met a strong opponent. I didn't expect it to be Yuchu's younger sister. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Xie Shi'an turned around and left as if he didn't hear it.
Jin Shunqi got out of the car, and the hand that was outstretched for a handshake stayed in the air, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Qiao Yuchu smiled and smoothed things over.
"Jin, don't mind, she is really tired from playing today."
Jin Shunqi touched his nose and withdrew his hand.
"It's okay, I just think that we all know each other, and we are quite destined. If we don't have to catch a plane, I really want to invite you to have dinner together."
Jin Nanzhi opened the door and sat on it.
"Little uncle, hurry up, or you won't be able to catch the plane."
"It's okay, you guys go first, you can make an appointment another day." Qiao Yuchu said.
Jin Shunqi turned around and opened the car door, waving goodbye to her.
"Then, Yuchu, see you another day."
The car had just driven out not far away, as if Jin Nanzhi remembered something again, he subconsciously wanted to push the car door and get off the car.
Jin Shunqi was taken aback.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing, sit down!"
Jin Nanzhi came back to his senses, and slowly let go of his hand from the car door, looking a little lost.
Jin Shunqi looked into her eyes and asked cautiously.
"Is there anyone who hasn't had time to say goodbye?"
Jin Nanzhi squeezed his phone and nodded slightly.
"Well, a... friend, she said she would come to every game of mine, whenever she was free."
While driving, Jin Shunqi took time to glance at her.
"Then is she here today?"
Jin Nanzhi shook his head.
Yin Jiayi is in Hangzhou, no matter how she comes, she will never come.
"No."
Since she was a child, this was the first time she had seen her look a little lost. Jin Shunqi changed back to Korean and comforted her.
"Nan Zhi, it doesn't necessarily mean that a friend missed an appointment. There are many things that we can't predict, but there is one thing that uncle wants to tell you, that is, who we miss, we must tell her in time."
"Because you don't know what will happen in the future, friends or not, at least at this moment, you care about each other."
After the crowd cleared, Yin Jiayi picked up a transparent card from the ground, which was a support for Jin Nanzhi who was left behind by the audience.
The girl in the photo has bright eyes and bright teeth, and a bright smile.
She stared at it for a long time, and when she was about to take out her phone, the bell rang.
Yin Jiayi frantically connected.
"Hey?"
"it's me."
"I know it is you."
"I'm going back to Korea." Jin Nanzhi said softly.
"Ok."
"No one will bother you in the future, you can relax a bit, and don't need to avoid me anymore." Jin Nanzhi's tone was carefree, but there was still a tremor when listening carefully to the ending.
Yin Jiayi was silent for a long time.
The car beside her for a long time came and went, and the north wind was blowing. Standing here, she ushered in the last snow of this winter in Beijing.
"I never..."
With the sound of passing cars and the sound of the wind, Jin Nanzhi couldn't hear what she said clearly for a moment.
"What did you say?"
"I said..." Yin Jiayi repeated.
"happy Birthday."
Only then did Jin Nanzhi smile.
"You still remember that today is my birthday."
"Yeah." Yin Jiayi also smiled.
"Because you came at this time last year."
"Then do you still remember, at this time last year, our agreement—"
When she came last year, because there was only one acquaintance in the Chinese team, Yin Jiayi, the coach sent her to pick her up at the airport even though she was reluctant.
Since the Korean training camp, the two haven't seen each other for a long time. When Jin Nanzhi got off the plane, he pestered her for a birthday present.
"Hey, Yin Jiayi, today is my birthday, why didn't you express it?!"
"It means that you like to walk or not, and if you don't walk, you will fall down."
Jin Nanzhi squatted on the ground and hugged her leg, almost rolling around.
"I don't know the way. If you leave me at the airport, you will affect the friendship between China and South Korea and destroy the relationship between the two countries. You will be a sinner through the ages!"
Yin Jiayi couldn't laugh or cry, there was nothing she could do about it.
"Miss, you said, what do you want to do, you didn't tell me in advance, it's your birthday today."
Jin Nanzhi got up from the ground and hugged her arm.
"I will join the team for the first game the day after tomorrow, so you can come and see me, and every game after that, as long as you are free, come and see me."
Yin Jiayi supported her forehead.
"Do you think I'm idle?"
"I know, the world champion, a busy man, not a world champion, I don't care if you come to see me, think about it, the world champion sits in the audience to watch my game, how good am I, the champion buff bonus, This is not going to win every battle!"
"Oh, I'm really scared of you, go ahead, take a look."
A year ago she picked her up empty-handed, and a year later she took flowers to watch her match, but she never had the courage to stand up and face her.
People with open hearts are the most fearless.
Unfortunately, Yin Jiayi is not.
She struggled to say: "Yes..."
Jin Nanzhi seemed to know what she wanted to say, pretending to smile easily, and interrupted her.
"Okay, I'm going to the airport, Yin Jiayi, goodbye."
She rarely talked to herself in such a serious tone, and most of the impressions left on her were coquettish, shameless, angry, and unreasonable.
"Nan Zhi." At that moment, Yin Jiayi felt her heart was clenched, she called her name hastily, and said word by word.
"I will participate in the World Championships, let's meet again when the time comes."
Jin Nanzhi was startled, and then smiled through his tears, sucked his nose and said.
"This time, you won't lie to me again, will you?"
"I've never..." Yin Jiayi paused.
"Nothing?" Jin Nanzhi asked.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Yin Jiayi smiled and hung up the phone.
It was already late at night when she returned to the national team training center, and her teammates welcomed her into the door.
"Isn't it the plane in the afternoon? Why did you arrive so late and still not let us pick you up? Hey, why did you bring a bouquet of flowers with you when you took the plane?"
Yin Jiayi put the backpack on the bed and found a vase to raise the flowers.
"I saw it on the way back and thought it was beautiful so I bought it."
A large piece of violets is in full bloom, so beautiful and so warm, rushing towards the face, with fresh vitality.
When she got off the plane and rushed to the competition venue, the moment she passed the flower shop, Yin Jiayi fell in love with it at a glance in the window.

"Shi'an! Shi'an! Why are you walking so fast!"
Qiao Yuchu trotted for a while before catching up to her.
Xie Shi'an paused slightly, without turning his head.
"Go back and rest."
Qiao Yuchu grabbed her wrist.
"Are you angry, can't I see it? Why are you so rude to Dr. Jin? Forget it the first time..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Xie Shi'an suddenly looked back at her.
"I'm rude to him? He's just a stranger, how should I treat him? Kneel three times and knock nine times?!"
Even if the young man withdrew his minions, it was hard to hide the sharpness in his bones.
"And why are you talking to him, are you familiar? I have been rude for a long time, and I have never seen you accuse me!"
She has always been so sharp when she speaks and sees problems.
Qiao Yuchu was speechless, explaining in vain.
"No...I just think that Dr. Jin did his best to operate on me so that I could return to the game. If you don't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, you should be more polite to him."
"I'm being polite to him? Yes, it's true that he did your operation, but he is not only your doctor, but also our opponent, Jin Nanzhi's uncle, how can I be polite to him!"
During the verbal battle between the two, Qiao Yuchu's anger was also ignited.
"Xie Shi'an! Even though you are an opponent, didn't you save Jin Nanzhi's life?! You came to see her off before she left. In your heart, you respect every truly capable opponent more than anyone else."
"So I don't understand, what are you angry about, I really don't understand you more and more!"
After she yelled these words, Xie Shi'an's eyes dimmed all of a sudden, the young man pursed his lips, turned around and left without saying a word.
The snow fell harder and harder.
The direction she was going was not the way back to the training center.
With Xie Shi'an's character, if she was asked to go out alone, she still didn't know what she would do.
Qiao Yuchu was so anxious that she grabbed her arm.
"Pick up..."
Before she finished speaking, she was thrown away and hit her right wrist.
Qiao Yu felt the pain at the beginning, took a few steps back, and hissed lightly.
The person who only cared about walking forward finally stopped.
Xie Shi installed a hard-hearted expression, but in fact, the slightly red corners of his eyes had already betrayed her.
"Don't follow me, I will go back by myself."
Qiao Yu tried at first, took a few steps forward, little by little, and took her arm.
"Shi'an, I was...too anxious just now, I didn't choose what to say, don't take it to heart, you know me, that's not what I meant."
"Now it's late at night, and it's snowing so hard. Let's... let's go back and talk slowly. Coach Yan is still waiting for us."
Qiao Yuchu dragged her two steps away, maybe because of the injury on her wrist, Xie Shi'an didn't resist, just followed her back to the car step by step.
in the hospital.
After the game, Jian Changnian was finally willing to lie down and hang water to rest.
Yan Xinyuan sat on the chair beside her bed, peeling an apple, and asked, "So, you stayed away all night last night just to practice Shi'an's trick?"
Jian Changnian sat up slightly, nodded, and said with an excited expression waiting to be praised.
"Yeah, I practiced with her every day, and I was so hungry when I saw this move. I thought it would be great if I could use it in the competition. I would definitely win the game with one move!"
"How long have you been practicing Shi'an? How long have you only been practicing?! Do you know what it means to backfire! How dare you not go back to sleep in the training room at night and catch yourself a cold, I think you are incompetent!"
Yan Xinyuan smiled on the inside, and wanted to give her a moment to wake her up.
Jian Changnian looked at the shining knife in his hand, with a mournful face, squeaking.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah coach Yan, for the sake of winning today's game, don't train me!"
Yan Xinyuan snorted coldly, and handed over a peeled apple.
"That means you won the game today, otherwise it depends on how I deal with you. Let me tell you, when you get better from the cold, hand in the 800-character check for me, and reflect on yourself!"
Jian Changnian frantically nodded her head and admitted her mistake.
"Write, write, write, even 8,000 characters."
There was a knock on the door, and Yan Xinyuan got up to open the door. When he saw someone coming, a smile appeared on Jian Changnian's face.
"Shi'an, sister Yuchu, why are you here? Has Jin Nanzhi left?"
Qiao Yuchu put the lunch box in her hand on the table, reached out and touched her forehead, it was not as hot as before.
"Come and deliver food to our great hero, here, your favorite pork knuckle rice."
Jian Changnian opened the lunch box excitedly and was immediately disappointed.
"Ah! How can pig's knuckle rice be called pig's knuckle rice without pig's knuckles!"
Qiao Yuchu burst out laughing.
"The doctor said, during a cold, eat a light diet and avoid greasy and spicy food. Didn't this even serve you with green vegetables, eat quickly."
"Coach Yan, this is yours."
Qiao Yuchu took out another copy from the bag and handed it to Yan Xinyuan.
Jian Changnian looked at them while eating, Xie Shi'an hadn't said a word since he just entered the door, and the silence was a bit abnormal.
"Shi'an, don't you want to eat?"
"Not hungry."
Xie Shi'an replied two words coldly.
Jian Changnian thought about it, he didn't seem to provoke her today, could it be because she stole her trick?
"Um... that... I was also practicing with you, watching you fight... so I wanted to try it too. I was surprised that I succeeded today. If you are not happy, I will not practice in the future."
Jian Changnian spoke carefully, and pushed his lunch box in front of her.
"Because of my illness, everyone won't be able to go to dinner even after winning the game today. How can you not be hungry after playing for so long? You can eat a little bit. I haven't touched this half. Here it is."
It's fine if she doesn't mention it, but Xie Shi'an is like taking gunpowder when she mentions it, and she's not in a good mood at all.
"Do you think you are very capable? Be a savior, make it like this, I can win the game today without you."
The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes.
Qiao Yuchu pulled him back.
"Shi'an! Chang Nian is already like this, so please don't say a few words."
Jian Changnian lowered her head and retracted her hand bit by bit.
"Sorry."
"It's okay, Chang Nian, you eat first, Shi'an and I have already eaten on the way here, come out with me."
As Qiao Yuchu spoke, she pulled the man out of the room.
Yan Xinyuan looked at the backs of the two of them thoughtfully.
"We two quarreled, do you need to blame others?!"
Xie Shi'an stood with his hands in his pockets, with a somewhat rebellious expression.
"That's how I am. You don't know me every day or two."
"You—" Qiao Yu lost his temper at first, and then thought about all the hardships he had endured in order to compete with her, and subconsciously raised his hand and slapped her.
The young man curled his lips slightly, with a sarcastic smile on his face, he did not hide, his eyes were red and he waited for the palm wind to fall.
In the end, Qiao Yuchu's hand only touched her face lightly.
She turned around dejectedly, all the energy she had braced up today was exhausted, and she only felt exhausted from the inside out occupying her whole body.
"Go back by yourself, I don't want to care about you anymore."
Xie Shi'an bet that she would soften her heart and be reluctant to beat herself, but after winning the bet, the boy was not as happy as he imagined.
There was even a little panic.
The shadow of being abandoned by parents in childhood hits my heart again.
The boy was defeated and went to pull her wrist.
"Yuchu, Yuchu, I shouldn't lose my temper with you..."
Qiao Yuchu pushed the door open and locked the door behind her backhand.
The two people in the room looked at her in dismay.
"Pick up her..." Jian Changnian said worriedly.
Qiao Yuchu forced a smile.
"It's okay, I have a little friction with her, let her be alone for a while."
There was no movement in the corridor.
Yan Xinyuan stood up.
"After all, this is not Jiangcheng. I'm not familiar with the place. You stay here with Chang Nian. I'll go find her."
Qiao Yuchu nodded dejectedly.
"Okay, thank you, Coach Yan."
