The events in the second half of the year are tighter, and they are all major competitions.
At the end of July there is the "Continental Star Cup" Youth Championship, which is a continental competition, and at the end of October there is the World Badminton Youth Championship. These participating members have been preliminarily determined before.
In view of Ji Huai's performance and the recurrence of Qin An's waist injury that required surgery, it was replaced by him to participate in the "Continental Star Cup" Youth Championship.
This is the first time he has won a spot to represent his country in an international competition. The next training camp happens to be in Quyan City. I haven’t had a holiday in half a year and I can finally go home.
Hearing that Ji Huai was coming back, Hu Yarong was even more excited than Chen Xiuman.
Chen Xiuman originally wanted to cook him some favorite dishes and asked him what he wanted to eat. Hu Yarong said that he was treating him to a newly opened shopping mall.
The three of them ordered the mandarin duck pot, but Ji Huai only ate the clear soup side.
The amount of exercise means that he does not need to lose weight, but his year-round habits allow him to maintain good habits, and his work, rest, and diet are all in a state of health.
He rinsed Chen Xiuman's belly, and the other party urged him to eat, with a distressed look on his face, "Eat more, you have lost weight. Isn't training very hard?"
Ever since Ji Huai went to the city team and the provincial team, with subsidies and bonuses, she no longer needed to support her. After joining the national team, she received a subsidy higher than her salary. She was given money every month and received bonuses. , even thousands of dollars were sent to her.
Now that her financial situation has improved, she is willing to buy new clothes, but she is also worried about him and feels that her son is working hard.
"I have grown taller." Ji Huai smiled, "Yesterday I was 1.79.5 meters tall. I don't know if I can grow to 1.8 meters this year."
"You can grow up, and you can go up before you are twenty." Hu Yarong nodded affirmatively, and then changed the subject and encouraged him, "You have to work hard at the 'Sing Chew Cup' this time. If you do well, you can participate in the World Cup next year." Badminton Youth Championship, maybe you will be a part of the next Olympics!”
The nearest Olympic Games is next year, and the candidate is already ready. Ji Huai only started participating in the Youth Championship this year. He has never participated in several major world-class events, so of course he has no chance.
According to this momentum, there is no certainty in five years.
"There are several world champions in one team." Ji Huai reminded him.
He didn't know whether he could participate in the Olympics. After all, there was a huge gap. He only looked at his feet now, trying his best to take every step steadily.
Some people are born with geniuses and are born to compete in sports, but he knows full well that he does not count.
"Which world champion hasn't come this way? Who doesn't have a dream?" Hu Yarong also knows the difficulty. There are only a few people who can go to the second national team, and most of them stop at the provincial team like him.
If you don't achieve anything in the second team, you will basically miss out on the Olympics if you wait for a few years. Not to mention Olympic champions, those who can go have already won.
"Well, a dream." Ji Huai nodded in agreement and raised the corners of his mouth.
After meal.
Ji Huai did not go back with them, but went to the city library. After he entered, he did not go upstairs directly, but went to the bathroom on the first floor first.
Facing the mirror, he deliberately leaned over to take a look, moving his face from side to side, arranging his hair, raising his head again, standing a little further away, and arranging his clothes.
He had been thinking about what to wear today for several months, and he spent two hours thinking about it before going out.
Wearing a trendy light blue and white short-sleeved suit, loose nine-point jeans on the lower body, with the trousers rolled up a few times, paired with a pair of white sneakers.
She is much more handsome than before, but not as depressed as before. He will no longer bring negative energy to her and must be positive.
He also made a smile in the mirror, as if he didn't think he was handsome enough, so he raised the corners of his mouth even more and continued to smile.
The toilet door was opened, and a small man holding a book came out. He endorsed the book and walked forward. He seemed to catch a glimpse of Ji Huai's smile before he came out.
He closed the book and glanced at Ji Huai a few more times while washing his hands. When he went out, he took his mobile phone and sent a voice message, "What's the point of being handsome? He's a bit stupid."
Ji Huai, who has pretty good hearing: "..."
He looked at the mirror with self-doubt. He was obviously much more handsome than before, and his hair style was very fashionable. Why was he so stupid? Can you speak
After dilly-dallying for a while, he regained his confidence and went upstairs.
Yuan Tian has a habit on weekends. She will study quietly for two or three hours in the city library, reading autobiographies of major painters or appreciating famous paintings. The location is also fixed, in the library at the end of the second floor, where it is quiet. , just a few tables, and they're in the corner.
Others don't like this layout, but she likes it. Sometimes she is the only one in it.
He walked step by step towards the door at the end of the second floor. As he got closer and closer, his heart beat rapidly accelerated and his neck became stiff with nervousness. He was even more nervous than on the playing field.
When he gets nervous, he will exhale loudly, his footsteps will fall at the door, and he will not have the courage to go in.
The scenes he had rehearsed countless times in his mind were all useless at this moment, and he was unable to take another step forward.
According to the plot of the previous life, the first time the two met was actually in the third grade of junior high school. She transferred to another school and became his front desk. Later, he was admitted to the Provincial No. 1 Middle School, and she was also admitted to the Provincial No. 1 Middle School. The two began an entanglement that lasted for more than ten years, and in the end they both lost.
She is like the moon shining with gentle light. She is the daughter of the Yuan Group, the richest man in the city, and the granddaughter of the famous painter Chen Wei. She has a talent for painting since she was a child and is a talented painter who has won gold medals in major domestic and foreign competitions.
Compared to her, he was just a toad who had some bad luck and gained her favor. At first I didn't know what the world was like, but then I opened my eyes and realized the gap, and lost my courage. I was like a coward, unwilling to take responsibility, and I didn't even dare to say confidently that she was my girlfriend.
Not refusing, not trying hard, feeling depressed and resentful. I have never forgotten her, but I didn’t have the courage to hold her hand. After retiring from the second national team, I even lost the idea.
Later, he didn't get married, and she didn't get married either. I heard that he went abroad. I heard...
He never gave up in his life, but he was never brave in his life.
She took ninety-nine steps, and he couldn't take that step.
When Ji Huai thought of this, he didn't hesitate anymore, and strode inside with all his strength.
"Bang... um..."
A figure came forward, and they both turned a corner and bumped into each other. Ji Huai heard a familiar grunting sound, and quickly grabbed the arm of the person in front of her to prevent her from hitting the door wall next to her.
Yuan Tian was frightened. The WeChat message he was replying was interrupted, and his phone fell to the ground. After Ji Huai held it steady, his chest still heaved violently. In shock, he quickly bowed his head and apologized, saying in an anxious voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
She was too busy replying messages that she didn't look at the road for a while.
Ji Huai said nothing, let go of his hand, bent down and picked up her phone. She was so lazy that she didn't put a film on her phone. The screen was facing down and it fell to pieces, with the middle broken into pieces.
"It's my fault, it has nothing to do with you." She reached out and took it, speaking softly, with a slightly raised and soft voice at the end, "Thank you."
Ji Huai stood up straight, looked down at her, curved the corners of his mouth, smiled youthfully, and slowed down his tone, "I wasn't even afraid, but you were afraid first, and I didn't say I wanted to compensate. You have to watch the road when you walk. Remember to put a tempered film on your mobile phone.”
She dropped it more than a dozen times a day and couldn't hold any phone. She hated buying a new phone and didn't want to transfer data and download software over and over again.
Only then did Yuan Tian see the person in front of him clearly. The eyes he looked at were clear and bright, and he smiled like the sun. That smile was very attractive, just like the sun at noon, hot and upward, refreshing and full of vitality.
He is tall, with long legs that just hit his chest, strong muscles, and arms...
"...Hmm...I'll post it next time." A blush appeared on her face, and she didn't continue to think wildly. She responded casually and walked aside to make way for him.
As soon as he walked in, Yuan Tian ran away before he said a second sentence.
Ji Huai: "..."
His little girl had only reached his shoulders now, her fair face was red, and the tips of her ears were red.
The city library is an old neighborhood. When Ji Huai came down, he found her again.
Yuan Tian wore an apricot-colored dress today, with a floating bow tie, which added a fresh and artistic atmosphere. The waist was designed to be nipped in, and the belt was embroidered with lotus flowers, which was exquisite and beautiful.
She had her hair tied into a bun and a red bow hair accessory on top of her head, which highlighted her palm-sized fair face, her cherry lips were raised, and her beautiful eyes were shining.
"Xiaobai, you eat, I bought two." She squatted on the side of the road, put the sausages forward, and went to feed the cat.
This is not a wild cat, it is a fat orange cat. It should have been raised by humans, but it ran away for some reason and did not come home. The owner did not come to find it, so it hid nearby. Let her masturbate obediently every time, and feed it some food when she comes.
The fat orange cat was eating sausage with its head lowered. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked its fur, her eyebrows raised.
Touching its soft fur, she inexplicably remembered the hard chest she had just bumped into. The fur was playing in the palm of her hand, tickling her heart.
Crispy and numb.
Yuan Tian watched the orange cat eating sausages and couldn't help but murmured: "He must love sports and be full of energy. I don't know which school he is the male idol of. He loves sports and studies and is handsome..."
"Go away!"
There was a scolding sound not far away, and Yuan Tian turned to look over, frightened away by a ferocious black wild cat running towards her, turned around and hid in the alley.
He put one hand in his pocket and came back against the light. He was tall and tall, and his legs were really long. He lowered his head and seemed to be observing her, as if he found it interesting. He raised his eyebrows to scare her, "You are not afraid of these wild cats scratching you. You have to Go to the hospital and get vaccinated.”
Yuan's mother is afraid of small animals, but she likes cats and dogs, and likes to feed stray cats.
"Xiao Huang doesn't scratch people, he's not a wild cat." Yuan Tian replied.
Ji Huai came over and bent down beside her, facing her with a handsome face, "Let's go, I'll take you to change the screen."
Yuan Tian stood up and said, "It's okay. It can still be used. I'll change it myself."
She often broke the screen and made do with it when it was still usable. When it stopped working, she asked Uncle Wang to repair it. You have to worry about buying a new one, and it's not as useful as the old one.
"Please drink milk tea?" Ji Huai said again.
"You don't have to feel guilty, just..."
"Buy one at the milk tea shop, get one free, give you one cup, it's a relief." He pointed across the road, where a banner hung at the door of the milk tea shop: The new store is opening, and the second cup is half price.
Seeing that he wanted to drink, Yuan Tian hesitated, "...Okay, I'll transfer half of the money to you."
"Yes." Ji Huai's eyes were filled with a smile, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up.
Inside the milk tea shop.
"What would you like to drink?" he asked.
"It's all ok. The second cup is half price." She looked up and saw that there seemed to be only a few types participating in the event.
Ji Huai: "Original milk tea with pearls? Ban Tang?"
"Okay." She didn't like it being too sweet.
Ji Huai looked at the clerk and said, "Two and a half cups of original milk tea with pearls, please keep it warm."
Yuan Tian didn't refute the whole process. After receiving the milk tea, she wanted to transfer money to him, so Ji Huai opened the WeChat QR code. Her screen is cracked but still operable. A cup of milk tea costs eighteen yuan, and I transferred nine yuan to him.
Ji Huai put the phone in his trouser pocket, helped her insert the straw of the milk tea, and threw the plastic paper of the straw into the trash can, "Drink."
She lowered her head and took a sip.
Seeing that she was so obedient, he smiled and asked, "Why are you so obedient?"
Things were going so smoothly that he felt uncomfortable.
Yuan Tian's eyes as pure as spring water also looked at him, "Huh?"
Later, after listening to her plain explanation, the smile on his lips became stiffer and stiffer, and he secretly screamed.
"It's okay, I want to drink milk tea too."
"Hmm... I guess you're used to being praised, right?"
…
"Because you make the decision yourself, but I happen to like Hebantang's original milk tea, which is warm enough not to hurt you."
…
Ji Huai understood. For the sake of the collision, he was friendly and kind-hearted and shared the cup of milk tea with him that he wanted to "take advantage of". He also said his guess in a gentle voice that he might think he was too handsome and treat him badly. The impression was pretty good, and the milk tea was less than ten yuan, so we went together.
"No..." He couldn't laugh or cry.
Before he could come up with an explanation, Yuan Tian received a call from Uncle Wang, politely said goodbye to him, took another sip of milk tea, "Bye."
