In early June, both of them participated in a relatively intense training camp.
Luckily for Yuan Tian, such a difficult training session was not too strenuous for her. Ji Huai still chatted with her during the break, casually talking about topics.
They both live in the same city and can see each other often. We have dinner, go shopping, just like ordinary friends, chat and laugh, and become more and more familiar with each other.
There is a famous mountain on the outskirts of the city. The scenery on the mountain is good. You can overlook the city when you climb it. Ji Huai asked her to climb the mountain.
Yuan Tian also went out to buy a set of sportswear and a pair of sneakers. When she got to the foot of the mountain, she saw that he and she were wearing the same color, both light blue.
She was stunned, while Ji Huai raised his eyebrows and said half-jokingly: "Classmate Yuan, we have a good understanding."
Yuan Tian pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. She felt that the two of them had a tacit understanding, and she felt very comfortable getting along with him. It felt like she had known him for a long time. He was very relaxed and there was no need to worry about what to say or what not to say.
"Let's go up the mountain." Ji Huai took the lead in walking up the mountain. During this period, he turned to her and said, "I think you may not be able to climb to the top of the mountain. Try your best."
Yuan Tian was stimulated: "You can't climb to the top of the mountain! Who are you looking down on?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickened her pace and ran forward, directly overtaking him.
"..." Ji Huai looked at the slender figure in front of him. Because he was walking fast, his pigtails tied high were still swaying. A smile crossed his lips and he chuckled twice.
She still loves to show off her strength.
Yuan Tian walked vigorously at first, but soon lost strength. His legs and soles were sore and tight. He walked slower and slower, dragging the soles of his feet.
Ji Huai followed her, leisurely and leisurely. She was sweating profusely. He was not even out of breath, but he asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Yuan Tian felt that he had lost face and accelerated his pace on his sore feet.
Ji Huai: "Little dwarf, you are quite capable of showing off."
Come on, the end of the teasing had not yet faded, but she gritted her teeth and insisted, "I must go to the top of the mountain, or I won't give up!"
The words were spoken harshly, and the pace became slower and slower. It was really sore, and both feet felt like they were tied with sandbags. They were so heavy and tired that it was killing me.
"Don't blame me if your legs hurt and you can't get out of bed tomorrow." Ji Huai reminded her, and emphasized, "It might even be so sore that I can't sleep tonight."
"..." Yuan Tian slowed down, looked down the mountain, and hesitated, "Then we can't give up halfway, right? Just go down the mountain like this?"
She was unwilling, but she was afraid.
Ji Huai walked in front of her and stretched his hand back, "I'll pull you, otherwise you won't be able to get down even if you step up."
Yuan Tian looked at his stretched out hand, wearing the watch she gave him on his wrist. His wheat-colored skin looked very healthy, his muscles were strong and elastic, and his lines were obvious.
She hesitated for a moment, didn't think too much, then stretched out her hand, and he reached out to hold her weak and slender hand. His hands were a little calloused from holding the racket all year round, but her skin was tender and smooth, and she felt it clearly, but she didn't feel any discomfort at all. Instead, she felt very safe. He gently pulled his hand, and she moved forward.
Being pulled by someone saves a lot of effort.
"This mountain is quite difficult to climb, especially for someone like you who doesn't do much exercise." Ji Huai slowed down and led her forward.
Yuan Tian felt relaxed at first, but as he climbed up a lot, his steps became slower and slower, the distance between them gradually became wider, and the hand holding his became weaker and weaker.
Seeing that she was too tired, Ji Huai stopped, took a bottle of mineral water from his bag, unscrewed the bottle cap and handed the water to her to drink. Yuan Tian ate another piece of chocolate and gave him another piece of chocolate. He shook it Shaking her head, she was still calm and gentle. Compared with him, she was too weak.
Afraid that wasting time would cause him to go back late, Yuan Tian didn't rest for long before he cheered up and was led up by him.
Seeing that she was about to reach the top of the mountain, she began to drag her steps. She didn't know if it was because he was beside her and she always felt reliable.
As soon as she slowed down, Ji Huai also slowed down, but did not stop. He walked forward slowly. His other hand lazily stretched back and covered her hand. His big hands wrapped around hers. He held her hand and encouraged her, "Keep going, we're almost there. The top of the mountain is beautiful."
Yuan Tian looked at the hand held tightly by him. His two hands covered hers. She slowed down slightly. He tightened his hands and pulled her forward with a little force. The contact between their skins More.
There was a shy smile in her eyes, and her steps were much lighter.
Ji Huai walked in front. She looked at his straight back, her eyes kept falling on him, her thoughts began to wander, and she felt very happy.
That kind of happiness and comfort was an experience I had never had before.
When he reached the top of the mountain, Ji Huai naturally let go of her hand, walked to the side of the stone and sat down, stretched his long legs forward, patted the seat next to him, "Sit here and rest."
Yuan Tian took small steps and walked over. He stretched his arms back and turned to look down the mountain. There was a gentle breeze and he said, "It's really beautiful here."
"It took so much effort to climb up, so of course it has to be beautiful." She took out her phone and kept taking pictures. She took several pictures and looked at him who was half lying down and asked. "Do you want to take pictures? I'll give you a few."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Huai changed his posture and looked at the camera.
"Eggplant." Yuan Tian looked at the phone and said these two words with a faint smile on his lips.
"Yeah." He cooperated with her, gestured, and smiled with his eyebrows flying.
Yuan Tian: "One more."
Ji Huai performed a few more poses, and after taking the photo, he deliberately said, "Remember to send it to me after the photo is taken. Don't spread it to other people, so as not to outshine others."
"Narcissistic." She pursed her lips and looked down at the photos. The other party smiled warmly. How could she be willing to spread the word
When he smiled, he felt that the surrounding scenery was eclipsed, and the more he looked at it, the more uneven his heart rate became. It was so clean and sunny, and his smile made people's hearts beat.
Ji Huai glanced at her and said in a calming tone, "We're already on the top of the mountain, and you're so exhausted that you're still fighting with me. If you please me, I might be able to carry you down the mountain later."
Her heartbeat quickened, as if her tail had been stepped on and she retorted, "Who wants you to carry it?!"
Saying this sentence made Yuan Tian regret it for a long time. When he went back, he hid in the quilt and tossed and turned, wishing to turn back time.
Why not let him carry it
Although it was shameful, but... she felt that she was finished.
She definitely likes Ji Huai. While he was thinking wildly, he sent her another message, "Remember to soak your feet to speed up blood circulation, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable when you wake up tomorrow."
Yuan Tian was still struggling on the bed, and he called again, "Go and soak your feet quickly, otherwise the pain will make you unable to get out of bed tomorrow, don't say it's me. Hurry! Speed!"
"Oh~~~"
She stared at those photos of him for a long time before going to bed, and her heart was really a little swaying.
…
As Ji Huai was busy training, the two never met. When she went back, she played a trick and chose the half-day when he would rest so that he could come to the airport to see her off.
She got ready early in the morning, put on a small fresh light green skirt, put on light makeup, took out the perfume she hadn't used for a long time, sprayed it on her wrist, crossed her hands and rubbed them, and applied it behind her ears.
He was still so young and sunny, with a playful smile. When she entered the security check, he opened his hand and stepped forward, "Give her a farewell hug."
Yuan Tian was shy and walked up in small steps.
It's her fault for overthinking. He is really a gentleman. He always bends down when hugging her, which is just a weak hug. He also says, "The perfume on your body smells so good. It smells so good."
Yuan Tian: "..."
He is such a fool!
Ji Huai stood there and watched her go in, the smile on his lips still lingering. When he saw her stop and turn to look at him, he raised his hand again and waved it.
Once she was gone, he threw himself back into training.
The "Continental Star Cup" at the end of July was held as scheduled. Ji Huai played as the top seed and had a very gratifying record. He passed five levels and defeated six players, successfully reaching the finals, and finally won again with 2:0.
Li Cheng noticed that his progress was more obvious this time, his jumping ability was improved, his steps were more flexible, and his rhythm was very good.
After the game, they returned to domestic training and continued to prepare for the World Youth Badminton Championships at the end of October. At this time, the Olympic Games were held in New Leer, the capital of Redan.
In men's badminton singles, the national badminton team sent two main players in the first team, namely Fang Zhong and Yu Yisheng.
For this Olympics, the national badminton team also has high hopes. After all, the men's singles did not win the championship in the previous two games. Fang Zhong won a silver medal, Yu Yisheng won a bronze medal, and Yanai Maya won two gold medals.
Maya Yanai is a legendary figure. He is a mixed-race child who inherited his father's physique. He is nearly 1.9 meters tall. He was only twenty years and 245 days old when he won the world championship for the first time. He is the youngest men's singles champion in the world. , and then defended the championship at the age of 24, becoming the only winner in their country to win two consecutive championships.
He has strong explosive power, moves quickly, has good judgment on the ball, has a clear mind and outstanding offensive ability. He said he is a genius born for badminton.
In the past few years, he swept all major international competitions and won the championship. He was known as a god-like existence in China.
However, it is said that Yanai Maya still expanded a lot after winning the championship twice, made a lot of money, had a flash marriage and divorce, and later was exposed to a lot of indecent news, and even hit someone with a sports car.
Many people felt it was a pity that he was not selected for the country's internal selection for this Olympic Games. Some people said there was an inside story, while others said it was because of his physical problems. There were different opinions.
The Olympics were going on, and Li Cheng watched live replays for Ji Huai and the others during the break, focusing on the Olympic badminton games, and poured chicken soup into his ears.
Fang Zhong and Yu Yisheng both entered the quarterfinals, and everyone was very excited. In the final semifinals, the two eliminated players from other countries and both entered the finals.
Li Cheng pointed at the two people competing, "Did you see it? These are the people you will compete with in the future. If you defeat them, you will be the next one to stand on top! If you fail to defeat them, you will have no chance."
Ji Huai frowned slightly, his face expressionless but serious, and he carefully observed their fighting style.
There were only two matches in the final. Fang Zhong defeated Yu Yisheng with an absolute advantage of 2:0, adding another gold medal to the national team, and Yu Yisheng added a silver medal to the national team.
The badminton team suffered some losses in the previous two Olympic Games. However, the badminton team performed exceptionally well in this Olympic Games. When the curtain came to an end, they won three gold medals, one silver medal and one bronze medal respectively. It ended successfully and returned with victory.
After a brief moment of joy, everyone entered training again.
Ji Huai has been preparing for the World Youth Badminton Championships at the end of October, which will be the first time he faces the world stage.
The last time's strong opponent Mizuki Sekiya couldn't sign up to participate, so Ji Huai passed all the way and scored several 2:0s. Chen Ruiyi lost to the semi-finals. He rushed into the final and faced the previous silver medalist.
In the fierce competition, Ji Huai behaved calmly, and even more so when the opponent wanted to disrupt his rhythm with crazy kills, his pace was smooth and he moved quickly.
The two each won one game 1:1 and entered the third game.
Ji Huai turned from defense to offense and quickly seized the opportunity to get the match point in advance. The opponent also started to kill the ball. Ji Huai turned the lob. After going back and forth several times, the opponent's return ball was much less powerful. He stepped forward and smashed the ball. .
"boom"
The opponent pushed hard, the ball passed the net and then out of the line, and the score was fixed at 21:19.
Ji Huai won the third game and won the championship with 2:1.
Applause and cheers came from the scene. Li Cheng clapped his hands vigorously and shouted: "Beautiful!"
Ji Huai smiled back and held the racket tightly with his right hand.
