During the Snowstorm

Chapter 44: When Glory Returns (3)

Views:

After five days, Lin Yiyang once again scored a perfect score of 147.

His third full shot in his career was at the same Open. The short interval ignited the enthusiasm of the fans, including those who did not pay attention to snooker, and one topic after another about Lin Yiyang was posted.

Returning to the local arena in the first year, he set new records with amazing results.

Meng Xiaodong and Jiang Yang also made great strides all the way, leading the rookies to show the best results of local players in this year's China Open, and dedicated one wonderful moment after another to the Chinese audience at home.

In the end, Meng Xiaodong and Jiang Yang stopped in the semi-finals, and Lin Yiyang entered the finals.

Yin Guo originally thought that he would be able to catch up with the finals, but the 9-Ball Association temporarily decided to extend the training time. That is to say, this time Lin Yiyang returned to her motherland for the first time in the Open, and she missed the whole process.

On the day of the finals, the training camp ended.

Yin Guo didn't have time to go home. After the mobilization meeting for the World Championships, he was about to fly to the U.S. Open.

She was sitting in the first row, facing the leaders of the Sports Bureau, one of whom was her own mother, she dared not make any unnecessary movements, and could not see the time...

The heart has been hanging, hanging high.

After the leader's speech, everyone stood up and applauded. Yin Guo immediately stood up and drummed harder than anyone else. No one present was more looking forward to the end of this mobilization meeting than she was.

"Okay, let's disband and go to rest," the president of the association with a kind face told everyone, "Many people are going to the airport in the afternoon, so I won't say more."

The crowd dispersed on the spot.

Yin Guo saw that her mother didn't have time to pay attention to herself, so she walked out of the crowd quickly, and ran up the stairs to the first floor as soon as she went out, taking out her mobile phone while running.

There is no need to browse the webpage at all, WeChat directly exploded.

Everyone was sending her messages, including Zheng Yi and her cousin Meng Xiaotian, but she didn't dare to click on any of them.

The windows on the second floor were open, and the wind blowing on her face couldn't dissipate the heat from her cheeks.

Suddenly, a new message popped up.

Lin: Don't congratulate me

The heart contracted violently.

She covered her mouth, tears of joy rushed out of her eyes, and within a second, they all rushed out and flowed into her fingers. He won the championship, Lin Yiyang won the championship, he won the China Open!

Yin Guo was afraid of being seen and heard by the passing leaders on the first floor, so he hid by the wall with his right shoulder pressed against the wall, trying to control his emotions. At the moment when the leaders downstairs were chatting and laughing as they walked out of the gate, Lin Yiyang sent another WeChat message.

Lin: Miss you.

She held the phone and cried like a fool. After winning the championship, after lifting the trophy, he was talking about missing her.

This is more touching than any provocative words.

This big fool never knows how to be sensational, and he always uses the simplest, sincere, ordinary words and ordinary things to let you know how much he cares about you.

***

In the stadium, the audience has already left.

The man who took the championship trophy sat in the first row on the north side, the trophy was on a seat beside him, his suit vest was also taken off, and it was next to the trophy. He rested his arms on the high backs of the chairs on one left and one on the right, leaned there, and looked at the empty arena in a relaxed manner.

The green table is in the middle of the playing field.

"Why are you sitting by yourself?" Jiang Yang asked behind him.

"Tired." He didn't bother to say another word.

"Didn't you call your girlfriend?" the person behind asked again.

Lin Yiyang held the phone in his right hand, and was also waiting for Yin Guo's reply: "They will mobilize this afternoon for the World Championships."

Before the voice finished, the WeChat notification sounded, and there were countless messages.

Countless [love hearts] are swiping the screen.

Lin Liguo: I didn't expect that you could really win this championship...

Fruit in the forest: You are the best.

Fruit in the forest: It's really like a dream.

Lin Liguo: I'm so stupid to cry, let me slowly...

Another bunch of [love] emojis, sending non-stop.

Lin Yiyang looked at the refresh of the phone screen and was smiling, imagining that she was crying while posting this.

There was laughter behind him, and it was more than one person.

He turned around and saw that everyone in Dongxin City was there, from big to small, from this generation to the next generation. They were all standing quietly, without any movement at all. When Lin Yiyang discovered this, everyone laughed and called "Sixth Uncle", "Sixth Brother"...

For a while, the northern stands became lively.

Lin Yiyang looked at them amusedly, got up, pointed to the trophy, and said to Jiang Yang, "Help me take it back."

After finishing speaking, he leaned on the railing with his hands, jumped from the stands, his feet fell to the floor, and walked away without looking back. When he won the national championship for the first time at the age of 13, he also celebrated in this way. Turn down the stands, take off your suit vest, wear cheap fabric shirts and ill-fitting trousers, and walk through the winning field.

Jiang Yang put his hands on the railing and looked at his back.

Boys in the past walked fast, and men now also walk fast, but the former is more energetic, while the latter is more calm and powerful.

***

The coach of the club completed the registration procedures for everyone, and everyone disbanded on the spot after they left the customs.

All ran to the duty-free shop to buy.

Yin Guo is resting in the corner of a row of seats near the boarding gate, the innermost one.

On WeChat, Zheng Yi sent a message.

Zheng Yi: You're such a good man, you swiped the screen.

Zheng Yi was still an outsider, and her circle of friends was the one who swiped the screen.

Yin Guo drank his drink, wondering where he was.

As if telepathic, a man's hand pressed down on his shoulder after a while: "Are you in a hurry?"

Hearing Lin Yiyang's words, she finally felt at ease.

She looked around, especially the duty-free shop, to see where her teammates were.

"Come here, go around first." She pulled his wrist.

Lin Yiyang was pulled by her, and walked around from the back row to the front. In the morning, I didn't change my formal clothes on the field. I just came over with trousers, black leather shoes and a white shirt, but the collar of the shirt was unbuttoned and the sleeves were rolled up a bit to neutralize the overly serious attire.

He sat beside her, and before he could sit still, Yin Guo stuffed a black mask into his hand: "Put this on first."

Lin Yiyang looked at the thing in his hand in disbelief: "What are you doing?"

"Hurry up and wear it," she urged in a low voice, "There are a lot of people traveling together on this plane."

He is in the limelight today. The star player who just won the China Open championship is being swiped on the Internet.

There will be many colleagues flying to the United States to participate in the 9-Ball Open at this boarding gate. Last year, not many signed up, but this year there are many, and there are many newcomers, many of whom have not seen him in the lounge last year. Although some people in the Beicheng Club would privately spread that Lin Yiyang was a junior junior sister, it was still too eye-catching to be so blatantly accompanying her as a family member.

Lin Yiyang looked at the mask over and over in his hands for a long time, smiled helplessly, and chose to put it on, blocking the lower half of his face, purely to deceive his ears. Covering the lower half of his face, he looked at her with his eyes.

The two haven't seen each other for a whole month, so it's inevitable that they want to look at each other a few more times, and only showing their eyes is more like a secret frown.

"My mother told me today that Mr. He called her a few times to catch up on the old days, and they were all talking about you." She whispered.

"Teacher was very happy to hear Jiang Yang talk about your relationship with me," he said, "Let me take you home when I have time."

His voice was blocked by the mask, and his voice dropped a few degrees.

"To your teacher's house?" She was surprised.

"Yes." He didn't feel anything, "I can't go outside either. I'm old and it's inconvenient to walk around."

"No, it's not that I want to go outside," she explained her surprise. "From the time I was ten years old when I played ball, I've heard people around you say that you are a teacher. I never thought I'd meet you."

He was noncommittal: "You are the girlfriend of his direct apprentice, so it is your duty to go to see her."

That said, it's still mysterious.

She told the truth: "Before I met you, I thought Mr. He's apprentices were all uncles, and the youngest Jiang Yang was six years older than my brother. I never thought that you would slip through the net."

Lin Yiyang nodded, patted her head and said, "I have always been senior, but you can call me brother, not uncle."

Yin Guo laughed in embarrassment, patted his hand away, and muttered, "Wolf with a big tail."

The two didn't say a few words, and the large force had already returned.

Lin Yiyang consciously put his hands in his trouser pockets, got up from the seat beside her like a stranger, and looked at the apron in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass.

Looking at this back figure and facial contour, as well as the iconic shirt and trousers, laymen can't recognize it, but people in the industry can recognize the real body at a glance. Yin Guo's senior sister joked with her: "The family members accompany the team?"

"Well," she couldn't help but admit, "he's not serious after the game. Just going back to New York to see old friends."

The senior sister gave her a thumbs up: "Yes."

I didn't even attend the championship celebration banquet, so I went straight to the airport with my luggage to play games with my girlfriend, which is really okay.

Another senior sister also admired this kind of self-conscious family members: "When you two met, you were regarded as a strong woman and a weak man, right? Xiaoguo, why did you fall in love with him? You can see potential stocks at a glance?"

Who knows, maybe it's really... looking at the face

Here we are discussing the beginning of Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo's relationship. Over there, a group of people from Dongxincheng passed by and greeted Lin Yiyang according to the rules. Here, there are "sixth brother" and "sixth uncle"... Lin Yiyang agreed twice, I feel more and more that the black mask on my face is superfluous, so I took it off.

He and Chen An'an confessed that they don't need to ask everyone to greet them next time.

Chen An'an thought about this for half a minute, and said seriously: "That's impossible. Dongxin City pays attention to respecting teachers, and seniors first."

Lin Yiyang understood the kid in front of him, stopped arguing with him, and pointed to the boarding gate: "You guys get on first, I'll wait."

"Not together?" There was a hint of doubt in Chen An'an's eyes.

"Your sister-in-law has a thin skin and is afraid of being seen," he said, "I'll do it last."

After boarding the plane, Yin Guo was on the left side of the business class, together with three senior sisters. Chen An'an and a girl from Dongxincheng are on the right. The girl was next to Yin Guo, so she took the initiative to change seats with Lin Yiyang.

The ball clubs in Dongxincheng and Beicheng both provide economy class tickets uniformly, and those who want to upgrade will pay the difference by themselves. However, because of the limited seats in the business class, there is usually an unwritten rule that the main players and seniors give priority to the business class, and the juniors usually do not want to come up to join in the fun, and it is more comfortable to gather in the back.

There is a baffle between the two, and they can see each other with a probe.

I wanted to whisper to Lin Yiyang before takeoff, but the stewardess obviously recognized him, and took advantage of the time before takeoff to order food, and chatted with him like a fan with a smile.

Feeling guilty, Yin Guo withdrew her head and continued playing with her phone.

After the actual take-off, she went to the bathroom and met the stewardess who was ordering food chatting with her colleagues: "Lin Yiyang is in front, I am so handsome, I am definitely not a photo editor."

The stewardess in charge of the passengers behind asked curiously: "Is it easy to talk? Can I take a group photo?"

"Signing should be fine. The group photo is hanging. I asked him just now, but he shook his head and said 'sorry'. He probably doesn't want to take a group photo."

Yin Guo listened silently.

After the two flight attendants left one after another, she looked for the man in question through the half-open curtain, and the other party also found that she had left for a long time and was looking for her. Seeing Yin Guo behind him, he left his seat and walked across the aisle.

"What are you looking at?" He opened the curtain and asked her.

"I'm listening to the stewardess talking about you," she pretended to sign, and put the back of her hand under his eyes, "I heard you don't like taking pictures together? Sign it."

Lin Yiyang saw her acting vigorously, smiled, and approached her face: "If you make trouble again, I will kiss you."

Suddenly, the light blue curtain was lifted, and a silver dining car appeared.

The stewardess who was pushing the dining car had gossip in her eyes, but she still kept a professional smile, watching the two of them move away from one to the left and the other to the right. Yin Guo turned around and left, and when she got back to her seat, she realized that she had never been in the bathroom at all... It was useless to wait outside.

I don't know what I'm guilty of.

After dinner, quickly enter the night flight mode.

Most of the passengers were asleep, and the flight attendants stopped moving around.

Lin Yiyang was watching a movie with headphones on, Yin Guo watched it for a while, felt sleepy, and chose to take a nap first. The itinerary is very tight this time, we will race when we arrive, and we need to get used to the jet lag, so we can sleep as much as we can.

Half asleep and half awake, the quilt was being pulled.

She raised the blindfold reflexively, and in the faint blue cabin light, Lin Yiyang was beside her seat, bending over to cover her with a quilt. Yin Guo looked at him leaning down, and met his eyes: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

By the way, I took off one earplug so that I could hear him.

Lin Yiyang's facial features were not very real in such a dim light, so he moved a little closer and whispered in her ear: "I thought you were asleep." The warmth fell on her earlobe.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the ground is empty, and the surrounding area is also empty. Only hundreds of passengers in the cabin go to the same destination with them.

There are baffles on the front and back, and even if there are people who are awake, they can only see them communicating, not kissing.

Lin Yiyang's breath was under her ears, on her neck, and finally found Yin Guo's lips. Like the first time in a New York apartment, the two are attracted to each other in the dark, groping for each other to make out, and doing the most honest physical communication.

After a while he stopped and stared at her, their breaths mingling.

"Today's game is also for you," he said in a low voice, "little queen."

Two full shots of 147, a China Open champion, in addition to thanking the mentor, I just want to give it to you. Reporting back to a certain silly girl who ran over to a poor coach with all eyes on the field in New York. She didn't care about the live broadcast camera, and took the hand of that unknown man. Good things, the most glorious moments to share with him.

In the blink of an eye, that poor coach always remembered and never forgot.

never forget.
