The day before the match against the British team, Zhou Jing suddenly fell ill.
Zhou Jing has always had a bad stomach. Xu is not used to eating Korean food, and suddenly caught a stomach flu, vomiting, diarrhea, and a fever.
Everyone is very worried, not to mention that the game is going to be played tomorrow, Zhou Jing is a girl, and she is also thin, and it seems that it is difficult to overcome the disease.
"It's okay, you have a good rest. I'm here for the game, so don't worry." Song Xueyang said.
But in fact, Shen Huai knew very well that Zhou Jing was too important for Fengyue's teamfight. They could lack an output, but they couldn't lack the only support. Just looking at Zhou Jing's pale and weak appearance, no one could bear to force her.
Zhou Jing looked groggy, but she insisted that she was fine, "I often suffer from gastroenteritis, and I'll get better the next day after an intravenous drip."
Hai Xing waved his hands again and again, "Illness comes like a mountain, and it goes away like a thread, how can I get better so quickly! It's not a panacea, you still need to rest more."
Zhou Jing looked at him, and that always expressionless face showed an undisguised smile, "Thank you, I will."
Hai Xing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little helpless.
He is the type that is very bad at communicating with girls. He can usually talk to Zhou Jing because he doesn't think of Zhou Jing as a girl. Now, seeing this devil who always oppresses him, he is ill and smiling at him. , I couldn't speak with a thud in my heart, I just felt that Zhou Jing had a fever and was stupid, and even if he laughed, he would actually say thank you to him.
Fortunately, so many people in the room didn't pay attention to him, Fan Jingming and Shi Yi also cared a few words, Song Xueyang allowed Zhou Ning to stay and take care of him, and then the rest went back to the training room to continue training.
After everyone left, Zhou Ning came back and carried Zhou Jing on his back.
Zhou Jing asked softly around his neck, "Is it heavy?"
"not heavy."
Zhou Ning put her on the bed and covered her with the quilt. Sitting on the side, he couldn't help feeling sad.
Zhou Jing is 20 years old this year, but her weight has not reached the weight that a 20-year-old girl should have.
He and Zhou Jing are four years apart, but Zhou Ningming can remember very early, and he still remembers most of the events when Zhou Jing was born. He was having dinner that day when his mother suddenly groaned, and then he didn't even finish the meal, and the family rushed to the hospital in a hurry. To repeat one word, premature birth.
Zhou Jing came to this world before her full term. When Zhou Ning saw her for the first time, she was like a little monkey, a little red and wrinkled, not very good-looking. When my mother woke up, she was not very happy, and everyone in the family was persuading her.
"It's okay for a girl, my daughter is my mother's sweet little padded jacket."
"Yeah, I already have Xiaoning at home, so it's not bad to fill in another baby girl."
Zhou Ning turned his head in confusion when he heard his name. When his mother saw him, she smiled and opened her arms to him, "Come on, Xiao Ning, mother hugs."
Zhou Ning stumbled over and walked over.
The mother didn't care much about Zhou Jing from the beginning. No matter what the people around her said, she still didn't like her daughter. Zhou Jing was born prematurely and did not receive the careful care of her mother.
Fortunately, her father loved her very much, so he always put her on the bed and let him hug her and kiss her.
"Xiao Ning is your sister, you have to take care of her and let her, understand?"
Zhou Ning nodded.
"say."
He said in a milky voice, "Okay."
As a result, after so many years, he felt that he did not take good care of Zhou Jing at all to make her life better.
He sighed heavily.
Zhou Jing slept for more than three hours and woke up to find Zhou Ning still beside the bed.
"elder brother."
"Are you awake?" Zhou Ning stood up and touched her forehead, "How do you feel? It doesn't seem to be so burning anymore."
Zhou Jing nodded, "A little thirsty."
Zhou Ning poured her another glass of water and watched her gulping, "Are you going to play tomorrow in the game?"
Zhou Jing wiped the corners of her mouth, "I'm fine, I'll be fine tomorrow. It's the same way when I was sick before. I'll be fine the next day after I get an IV."
Zhou Ning held the cup and wanted to persuade her to rest, but he was afraid that it would go against her wishes.
Seeing his tangled appearance, Zhou Jing said, "Brother, can you help me pack the peripheral bag?"
"it is good."
Zhou Ning responded and went to the table to help her tidy up. The mouse, keyboard, and cleaning cloth were all tidy up. When he was about to put it in the bag, he found that the zipper of the small bag with the data cable on the inside of the bag was tied to a white magician's Q. Edition pendant, the pendant looked familiar, he couldn't help but glance at it.
Zhou Jing guessed after seeing his movement stopped, "That was given to me by Sea Star."
Zhou Ning smiled, "No wonder it's so familiar. This is a gift that Xiao Ming brought him back from a trip. He has it in every branch of his profession. He is so precious. He is really a child."
Zhou Jing also smiled, "He is naive."
Zhou Ning rarely sees Zhou Jing laugh. She is always calm and somewhat submissive. Although she said that not laughing does not mean she is unhappy, Zhou Ning still thinks that she is happiest when she laughs. How can a girl of this age not laugh
Today he saw Zhou Jing laughing twice, and it was all because of Hai Xing, and a strange thought suddenly flooded into his heart, "Xiao Jing, how do you feel about Hai Xing...?"
Zhou Jing looked at him and said nothing.
Zhou Ning's heart was pounding, he felt that his guess should be right. Boys and girls of this age, staying together all day and forming partners, it is inevitable that they will have some affection. When he was Zhou Jing's age, he was chasing Guan He without hesitation
The more Zhou Ning thought about it, the more he felt that it was such a thing. Otherwise, why did Xiaojing secretly hang the pendant that Sea Star gave him in his bag? So he asked boldly, "What do you like about him?"
Zhou Jing got out of bed, went to the table and took her peripheral bag, "I like how he looks carefree and happy."
"I joined Fengyue in the same batch as him. He has a good relationship and everyone in the training camp likes him very much. One night he didn't come to training. When I went back to the dormitory to pick up things, I saw his mother drive him to the door. , he was holding a lot of food, and he couldn't carry it with one hand. He kept saying that he didn't want to take it, and there was no place to put it in the dormitory, but his mother still stuffed two bags of moon cakes into his bag. Then I remembered that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Festival."
Zhou Ning lowered his head silently, a little afraid to look at Zhou Jing.
"There are not many locals in Shanghai in the training camp, and Fengyue is not a good team. Most of them came to give it a try after hearing that Fengyue's appearance could add points after the top eight teams hit a wall. But Haixing is different. , he had an interview before me. When I went in, I heard that the interviewer thought he was a baby face, but he was left because of his skill points. Later, I heard from him and his friends that he only tried Fengyue as a team. Because his mother is worried that he has gone too far, he also wants to go home for dinner often."
When Zhou Jing said this, he chuckled lightly, and could not tell whether he was happy or sarcastic.
"What a carefree little fool who doesn't know the sufferings of the world."
Zhou Ning gently hugged her shoulders, "Xiao Jing, Hai Xing is indeed different from you. But you just envy him, want to be like him, not like him."
Although he was happy to see his sister meet a boy he liked, he didn't want Zhou Jing to misunderstand this feeling.
"Isn't being attracted by a trait that you don't have in your body the beginning of your relationship?" Zhou Jing asked rhetorically.
Zhou Ning was at a loss for words, and he thought of Guan He again.
The first time he saw Guan He, Guan He had everything he longed for, but never had.
Power, stability, money, and status made him feel so small.
Zhou Jing went on to say, "Seeing him will make me happy, and let me understand that there are so many people living happily, and I will definitely be able to live as happy as him in the future. If I have my own family in the future, I will Hopefully like his family."
Zhou Ning felt that his heart was extremely heavy, and he didn't even have the joy that his sister had the person she liked.
He thought that his power alone was too small, and even if he tried hard, he couldn't make Zhou Jing as carefree and happy as his peers.
Zhou Jing was immersed in her own memories, turned her head and saw Zhou Ning's expression stunned for a moment, then reacted and grabbed his hand, "Brother, everyone has troubles, and there are always people who live more dire straits who feel that your The annoyance is trivial. We're fine now."
Zhou Ning made a "hmm" sound.
Zhou Jing opened the door and wanted to take him back to the room, but as soon as the door opened, he saw Hai Xing standing at the door in a daze, holding a large box of fruit platters in his hands.
Looking at each other, Hai Xing was already stupid. He hurriedly put the fruit platter into Zhou Jing's hands, "I, I'm here to tell Brother Ning to go back, this box of fruit is for you!"
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and ran, the sound of hasty footsteps echoed in the corridor, and soon came the sound of the door slamming shut.
After a while, Zhou Jing closed the door, and it seemed that nothing was out of the ordinary, as if nothing had happened, and as if nothing mattered.
She put the platter on the table, took out a fork and handed it to Zhou Ning, and said softly, "Let's go after eating."
Zhou Ning also knew that going back now would only embarrass Starfish, so he sat down to eat with Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing's stomach was not good enough, so he couldn't eat too much fruit, so he chose a few to eat. Zhou Ning ate a lot by himself. He might be aggrieved and panicked, but he was eating emotionally.
"It's alright, brother. I didn't want to be with Hai Xing at first, he just misunderstood, just talk about it later."
Zhou Ning raised his head, "Why don't you want to be with him?"
Zhou Jing pondered for a long time, "Without me, he can continue to be happy."
Zhou Ning took the rubbish with him when he left. He didn't understand why he was carrying a pile of rubbish. Obviously, the hotel was cleaned on time every day.
He threw the rubbish into the trash can downstairs, hid on the side of the building and called Guan He.
Guan He picked it up quickly, he seemed to be training, and he could vaguely hear the sound of tapping on the keyboard.
"Wait for me." Guan He's low and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, and Zhou Ning's annoyance seemed to have suddenly found an outlet.
There was a soft closing sound, the sound of walking, and after a minute, Guan He asked, "What's the matter, Ningning?"
Zhou Ning didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say or where to start. He didn't plan to talk to Guan He, but he just felt that he needed someone to talk to himself.
There was silence for a while, "Uncle's condition has worsened again?"
"No."
"… "
"What happened to Zhou Jing?"
Zhou Ning didn't want to mention these, so he turned the topic away from himself, "Are you going to leave this year?"
After a two-second pause, Guan He said, "Don't go."
"Huh? Didn't I tell my parents before that it's been pushed for a year, so I have to leave this year?"
"If you don't want me to go, I won't go."
Guan He misunderstood, he thought Zhou Ning made this call, it was so abnormal, he didn't want him to go.
Zhou Ning took a long time to figure it out. For some reason, the haze in his heart was suddenly swept away, as if the freshest air in the morning was breathed into his nose and directly into his lungs.
He laughed twice, his voice was so loud that it didn't seem like a fake, so Guan He was relieved.
"Guan He, are you worried?"
Guan He's voice relaxed, like the whispers of lovers snuggling together, "Yes."
"Tell me."
"I don't want to be separated from you, I'm afraid you don't want to be with me, I'm afraid your parents won't agree with us..."
"Hey, stop." Zhou Ning stopped in time, "I asked you to talk about your troubles, not to let you take the opportunity to confess to me. Do you understand troubles? It bothers you, the kind you think about before going to bed."
"I am serious… "
"Don't mention it sincerely, change direction, other troubles."
Guan He thought for a while, "I'm leaving, Tang Wenlang is going to retire, and Xiaolang has no suitable captain. Jin An is too impulsive, An Lu is too young and inexperienced, and it is difficult for Buping Bufan to communicate with his teammates. Enthusiastic, but not good at commanding. Both of us are gone, and the three swordsmen of Xiaolang are gone, and the overall fighting style of the team will change. Next year, the domestic competition may be very difficult. Xiaolang is a veritable giant team. I've been here for eight years and I don't want to see it go downhill."
This was indeed a trouble, and Zhou Ning didn't know how to solve it. The difficulty is that Tang Wenlang is one year older than Guan He, and since Guan He has retired, he has no reason to stay. Especially knowing that the next year will be very difficult to fight, Tang Wenlang is only afraid that he will not be guaranteed if he stays.
Zhou Ning said embarrassedly, "I don't know what to do either..."
Guan He smiled, his deep laughter mixed in the cool night wind, "You can't help with this trouble, I want to know your trouble."
"Me? I'm not bothered."
"Everyone has troubles." Guan He said patiently.
Zhou Ning suddenly thought of Xiaojing again, but he quickly let himself relax, "Well... My troubles, do I want to win the championship?"
"Calculate."
"Then I want to win the championship trophy, and I want Fengyue to become China's first world champion team since the start of "City of Despair"!"
Guan He smiled, "Then you have to ask me whether I agree or not."
"Can't you give it to me?" Zhou Ning asked deliberately.
"cannot."
"Why? Give it to me!"
"Because this is not my dream alone." Guan He said.
Zhou Ning smiled. He stood up and kicked his numb feet. Only at this moment did he really adjust his state when he heard Guan He's words.
Guan He added, "But if you can take it away, I'll be very proud."
Zhou Ning suddenly felt that his heart was full of power, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch, just because of the word "proud".
"Really? Not jealous of me? Not envious of me?" he teased.
He wanted to be proud of Guan Ho.
He didn't want to look at Guan He's back anymore, walked the road he walked, and looked up at the top of the mountain he was standing on. He also wanted Guan He to look up to him once, even if it was just once, even if it didn't mean that he was stronger than Guan He at all, he still wanted to give it a try.
It even bothered him more than winning the championship.
Guan He listened to him giggling, but he couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth and coaxed along with him, "Envy you, envy you."
Zhou Ning giggled, "For this, I have to do my best."
"Well, come on."
The call ended here, Zhou Ning returned to the dormitory with ease, and bought some yogurt from the supermarket downstairs.
As soon as he entered the door, Hai Xing was taken aback by him. He froze and didn't know what to say. Zhou Ning took out two bottles of yogurt and put them in front of him, "Do you want to drink yogurt? I bought it from nearby. I drank a little on the way, I feel that Korean yogurt looks beautiful, but the taste is not as good as Mengniu Yili.”
After hearing the conversation between Zhou Ning and Zhou Jing, Hai Xing was uneasy for the whole night. He didn't think about what to say until Zhou Ning came in. Now that he has made such a mess, he doesn't know where to start.
"Brother Ning..." Hai Xing held the yogurt bottle with a bitter look on his face.
Zhou Ning pinched his face, "What's wrong?"
Hai Xing raised her head, her eyes were red, "Brother Ning, you are so kind to me, I'm sorry for you..."
Zhou Ning was stunned. After he was stunned, he smiled again. The more he looked at it, the more interesting it became. "Xiao Jing said that you are a carefree little fool who doesn't know the sufferings of the world. There really isn't a single adjective used wrong."
Hai Xing felt uncomfortable when he mentioned Zhou Jing now. He never thought that the devil would like him. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears today, judging from Zhou Jing's usual attitude, he would have thought that Zhou Jing hated him the most.
"I, Zhou Jing, she is very good, that is, I just treat her as a sister."
Zhou Ning corrected, "She is your sister."
"… "
"I-I mean, she's like my own brother and sister! Rabbits don't eat grass at the edge of the nest. We should compete and train well, and we shouldn't waste our great youth on illusory love!"
Zhou Ning burst out laughing, "Yo yo, where did Baidu come from? We Xingxing also have love troubles?"
Hai Xing's belly draft after a night of work was criticized by Zhou Ning for nothing, and he was extremely depressed, "Brother Ning, why do you seem to be fine, and you are not worried at all."
"I have nothing to worry about."
Zhou Ning took off her clothes and hung them on a hanger, "Xiaojing is older and more mature than you. She has her own judgment and knows what to do when she should. I never need to worry about her."
Starfish agrees with this, and is a little ashamed.
He knew very well that he was the only one who was troubled now, and Zhou Jing probably didn't take it to heart at all. She was the type of soldiers who would block water and cover up, and could deal calmly with anything that happened.
This is even a little annoying.
Zhou Ning said again, "No one can tell about feelings, and no one can force it. If you look back in a few years, it's all stupid things you did when you were ignorant. Hey, I have to remind you, adjust yours as soon as possible. State, we have to play tomorrow, don’t affect your performance because of this.”
The second half of the sentence he said was very serious, and Hai Xing also froze in his heart.
"I won't! I will definitely play the game tomorrow! Uh, how is Zhou Jing? Can I play tomorrow?"
Zhou Ning gave him a meaningful look, and Hai Xing's face suddenly turned red, "I don't care about her, no, no, I'm not that kind of care, I'm worried about the game, and she is also a member of Maple Moon, I just care about it. teammate!"
"Then thank you," Zhou Ning ironed the team uniforms to be worn tomorrow, "Do you want to iron yours?"
"Ah, thanks."
"Xiao Jing just woke up feeling better. Whether she can play or not depends on her state tomorrow. She said it was fine."
Hai Xing began to think again, "How can she say it herself? She likes to be brave in everything! What should I do if I go back and faint on the field? Rest when it's time to rest so that I won't get sick, there are so many more to come. As for the game, you persuade her."
Zhou Ning smiled, "Tell her yourself."
Starfish immediately shut up.
He didn't dare, he didn't know how to face Zhou Jing tomorrow.
The two were silent for a while, and Hai Xing remembered the content of the conversation he heard again. It sounded that Zhou Jing's family seemed unhappy, but he had never heard of such a thing before, and Zhou Ning was so gentle, he didn't look like it. A child from an unhappy family.
He was afraid of revealing Zhou Ning's scar, so he didn't dare to say it. But she really cared, and couldn't help asking, "Zhou Jing... is she doing well?"
Zhou Ning's ironing hand paused, and then smiled, "No, it's all troubles that ordinary people have."
He and Zhou Jing look diametrically opposite on the outside, but have many similarities on the inside. He thought that Xiaojing wouldn't want others to know this, and they didn't need the love that came from pity.
What's more, everything is indeed developing in a good direction now. This road can be very long. In ten or twenty years, one day, he and Zhou Jing will realize their dreams and live the life they want.
He added, "Just like you and me."
