Maidu's Olympic Games seemed to be a watershed for Ji Huai. Since winning the gold medal, he seemed to be walking up quickly, keeping his footing every step of the way.
In this year, Ji Huai and Maya Yanai were still competing. The two faced each other in six games including the Scottish Open, Shire Open, Guangnan Open, Leah Challenge... etc.
Ji Huai won four games and Yanai Maya won two games.
The World Championships at the end of the year was another real showdown, and this game was once again called a classic showdown.
Ji Huai, Yanai Maya, Fang Zhong and Sekiya Mizuki all entered the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, Ji Huai faced Mizuki Sekiya, and Fang Zhong faced Maya Yanai.
A familiar scene, a familiar ending: Ji Huai defeated Mizuki Sekiya 2:0, Fang Zhong lost to Maya Yanai 0:2, Ji Huai and Maya Yanai entered the finals and competed for the gold medal.
Yanai Maya's performance in this game was obviously much calmer and more cautious than in the Olympics. Knowing that Ji Huai mainly defends, he no longer attacks hard, but he can't waste it. The quality of the ball return is very high. I think This made it more difficult for the opponent to judge, and he also played a lot of sideline shots.
The moves are concealed and the ball speed is oppressive.
In the first game, Maya Yanai led Ji Huai 21:17, but he did not dare to relax, for fear that the scene in the Olympics would happen again and he would be crushed by a reversal.
Having missed the last Olympic Games of his career, he needs to win against Ji Huai, not to prove to anyone this time, but to explain to himself.
At the beginning of the second game, Ji Huai changed his tactics, became tougher on the ball, focused on offense, and used more routes and quality.
He had a clear mind and made a coherent slash. Yanai Maya tried her best to escape, but was suppressed by him again. Ji Huai jumped up to kill the sideline again and succeeded directly.
Facing Yanai Maya's skateboard return, Ji Huai couldn't miss the ball. After two back and forths, Yanai Maya attacked and Ji Huai controlled the net to seize the handball. He pressed forward step by step and scored with a surprise diagonal.
Finally, after Ji Huai paused and replayed near the net, he succeeded with a light kill from the sideline and won the second game.
The third game was another game of chasing each other. Yanai Maya wanted to win this game as much as she wanted to win the Olympic championship. He needed to regain his confidence.
Ji Huai was still so stable, but his style of play was fast and changeable. In the second half, the score had gradually widened.
After he threw low and high to get rid of Maya Yanai's suppression, the two entered the lob. Ji Huai attacked again, stealing the backcourt and adding a net to score another point.
Take the initiative to push the ball back quickly, use your strength to intercept, jump to attack, attack quickly, hit the net, smash with great force...
Yanai Maya was obviously unable to guard against his attacks and was losing ground, even making two mistakes in front of the net and losing points. Finally, Ji Huai hit a powerful forehand chop, and the score reached 18:21 in advance. He won the third game and won the World Championship.
This game also lasted ninety-seven minutes and was also a fierce battle. Ji Huai won his first World Championships title for the first time after finishing runner-up in the World Championships three years ago. This is another strong proof after winning the Olympic title last year.
After the game, reporters interviewed him and called him "Badminton Men's Singles Brother." Ji Huai denied this statement with a humble expression, "There is competition between teams, but I don't think there is such a so-called distinction between high and low." , every athlete works hard and plays the game seriously."
Hearing this, the reporter promptly corrected his inappropriate remarks and changed the subject, "Is there anything you want to do after the game?"
Ji Huai smiled: "There will be games after the game."
The reporter also laughed, "I heard Coach Zhang say that you are more demanding on yourself than he is on you. Don't you give yourself some proper relaxation after the game?"
Ji Huai: "In this meeting, the intensity of training before and after the game will definitely be different. You can't be tight all the time."
Reporter: "What do you do when you relax? What are your favorite entertainment projects? For example, playing games..."
"If I don't play games, I will go see the people I want to see. It doesn't matter what we do together." He said with a slight smile on his lips and his voice slowed down a lot.
…
The reporter could barely control his expression, which was sour and sweet at the same time, and his voice almost changed when he asked questions.
Netizens don’t have the kind of stopping power she has. As soon as the news came out, it quickly became a hot search topic, and the number of retweets, likes and comments skyrocketed. Netizens’ comments never disappoint:
"I feel like I'm in love, screaming like a groundhog."
"My mother asked me why I was crying like a ghost and howling like a wolf, so she came in and beat me. It's been a long time since my mother beat me. Thank you, Brother Huai."
"Oh God, I sink when you smile."
"With a flirtatious face and doing the most dedicated things, you are worthy of being my brother Huai~~~"
…
Many netizens have commented on Yuan Tian and asked her to listen to her boyfriend's love words.
Yuan Tian also showed up, liked it, forwarded it and replied: "Waiting for your love, love, love."
The two of them seem to be cut from the same mold. They both like to keep a low profile. Yuan Tian didn't post much in the past, and she doesn't post much now. She barely sees a few posts in a year.
If Ji Huai hadn't mentioned it this time, they would have thought the two had broken up.
When Ji Huai returns to China, everyone still wants to follow up. After all, these two people are very smoky when dating. They have been photographed in the past. Every detail is full of sugar, making people think about it. They say this is love, and this time Surprisingly, he wasn't photographed.
Fans screamed online and began to speculate whether the two broke up or had a quarrel? It's a pity that no one responded, which is really annoying.
In June of the following year, Yuan Tian ushered in his graduation season.
"The last two come out a little, your faces are blocked."
"It's a bit backlit, I'll change the angle."
"Don't move. This posture is quite good. I'll take a few more pictures for you."
…
Li Lu and others were sitting on the steps of the campus playground, all wearing bachelor's uniforms and posing sideways. Ji Huai was squatting underneath, adjusting the angle to take pictures.
Take a photo on the playground, a photo in the woods, a photo on the school road, a photo on the football field and basketball court... I wish I could take a photo of myself in every corner of the campus.
Under the scorching midsummer sun, a group of people kept sweating. Li Lu was afraid of getting tanned, so she sprayed sunscreen spray whenever she had time and held an umbrella in her hand.
As soon as Ji Huai finished shooting, several people came over and said, "Let us see how the shooting went."
Graduation photos are very important. Once they are taken, they should be treasured and posted on major social platforms.
Ji Huai handed over the camera.
Several people gathered around to look at the photos. Yuan Tian walked towards him. Before the two of them spoke, Li Lu put the camera into Ji Huai's hand again, "This angle is really good for taking some more photos."
After finishing speaking, another roommate pulled Yuan Tian and said, "Quick, quick, quick, I've thought of a new posture."
Yuan Tian was taken away, and Ji Huai was forced to "do business" again.
After taking pictures for a long time, they finally got tired and sat on chairs under the shade of a tree to rest. Ji Huai went to buy ice cream and milk tea, and Yuan Tian took them out and shared them with them.
The three of them thanked each other, and Yuan Tian smiled slightly, "You're welcome."
Li Lu chewed on the popsicle, looked at Ji Huai and couldn't help but said, "The world champion finally took a vacation, but he was caught as a coolie. How about I take some photos for you later?"
They were originally worried that no one would take a photo of the four of them, but Ji Huai showed up at a really good time.
"Tiantian said that your photography skills are very good, but it's troublesome." Ji Huai was not polite.
"I've been working part-time in a photo studio, so you just pose according to the poses I taught you, and I'll retouch them after you take them. Then it will be a proper couple photo." Li Lu looked like she was wrapped up in her body.
Yuan Tian was thin-skinned, but he couldn't do the intimate moves taught by Li Lu. The two of them stood together, and the other two roommates had aunty smiles on their faces, muttering to each other and not knowing what they were talking about.
After taking a few pictures, Yuan Tian didn't want to take any more pictures because he was too embarrassed.
Li Lu and others then took pictures on the playground. Yuan Tian was tired. She sat on a chair under the tree. Ji Huai sat next to her. He took out a lollipop from his pocket, tore it open and handed it to her mouth. , just like coaxing a child.
Yuan Tian instinctively opened his mouth and held it in his mouth, "Where did the lollipop come from?"
Ji Huai: "I just bought it."
"Oh~~" She ate the lollipop, tasted it carefully, raised her head and asked, "Is it pineapple flavored?"
"Ha." He laughed.
Realizing that she had guessed wrong, she tasted it carefully again, "Strawberry flavor? Apple and strawberry flavor?"
Ji Huai didn't reply directly. A smile gradually spread at the corners of his lips. His eyebrows were raised, he bent slightly and lowered his eyes. He opened the wrapping paper in his hand and slowly handed it to her to see.
She couldn't help but want to laugh. She reached out to hold his arm and rested her head on his shoulder. The young man's voice was sweet, "Passion fruit flavor~~"
He didn't laugh at her. He took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She backed away and said, "You will wipe off the foundation. You can't wipe it off. You will have to reapply it later."
"Are you still wearing foundation?" He stopped his hand and sounded confused.
"Can't you see?" Yuan Tian got serious, moved her face closer to him, pointed at her own face, and asked again, "Can't you see that I put on makeup?"
Ji Huai looked at her with his deep eyes and said nothing.
She pointed at her brows anxiously, "I drew my eyebrows, eyelashes and eyeshadow, concealer and highlighter, and..."
He blinked and said faster than his heart, "Aren't they all the same?"
Yuan Tian's expression suddenly changed, she pursed her red lips and looked at him with a sad expression. She spent two hours, but he actually said the same thing! What an unforgivable crime!
She didn't want to eat his lollipop anymore, but this lollipop was so delicious that she didn't want to throw it away.
Ji Huai looked puzzled. Knowing that she was unhappy, he came closer to take a closer look and said softly, "Is makeup done to make your skin look better? It doesn't matter whether you put it on or not. It's just that your lips are a little red. They were originally very beautiful." Hong, haven’t your eyebrows always looked beautiful? They haven’t turned white, they are already very white…”
Yuan Tian: "..."
Is this praising her beauty or her poor makeup skills
"Can I just wipe it gently?" Ji Huai didn't argue with her, folded the tissue neatly, wiped it on her forehead, and tidied her hair back.
When Yuan Tian raised her face slightly, he lowered his head slightly and kissed her on the mouth without holding back. The touch of their lips was so tender that it made his heart tremble.
He stood up after the kiss and seemed to be still thinking about it, "Passion fruit smells great, fragrant and sweet."
"Shameless!!!" Yuan Tian was caught off guard and was attacked. When he was so sweet and excited, a ray of shame penetrated his heart, and his face turned red.
In public, he actually performed a sneak attack.
"Yeah." He nodded with a smile on his lips.
“…”
evening.
Li Lu painstakingly selected nine pictures, enlarged them and refined them, uploaded them to Weibo, made a nine-square grid, and added the text: "We graduated~~"
Because they knew that she was Yuan Tian's roommate, everyone occasionally came to inquire about Ji Huai and the two of them, and often asked if they had broken up. Li Lu had been annoyed by this question in the past two years and often clarified.
As soon as she posted the news, all the comments below were:
"Tiantian is so beautiful."
"Tiantian finally left the country."
"Four beauties, good-looking people all hang out with good-looking people?"
…
Li Lu was reading the comments, selecting those who praised him, and looked at them with pleasure. Suddenly, many strange comments began to appear:
"Hahaha, I just saw the third perspective."
“Why don’t you post the cameraman’s photo?”
"Awesome cameraman, Brother Huai will make me laugh to death, my love for Tiantian is always so smoky."
"Cameraman Ji Huai is online. I didn't expect him to have this part-time job. It must be expensive to hire a cameraman, right?"
"It's expensive. I need a roommate named Yuan Tian~"
…
A bad premonition arose in her heart, and Li Lu hurriedly looked through it. Her blood pressure soared, and she almost couldn't breathe.
The Jiugongge post she posted was not a hot search, but Ji Huai's photo pose was. He sat on the ground with a camera and leaned back to take pictures of them; he squatted under the steps and turned sideways with difficulty to take pictures of them; he lay half-lying on his back and tried his best to take pictures of them...
In the photo, only Ji Huai was captured clearly, while they were all extremely blurry. His appearance is too strong, without any post-processing, and his side profile is extremely handsome, it is really natural without any additives.
A lot of questions appeared in Li Lu's private messages, and netizens came to her for gossip again. She let out a long sigh and leaned on the table, "If I had known, I wouldn't have let Ji Huai come to shoot for us. The heat would have been taken away. "
She carefully prepared the nine-square grid, and now everyone only sees the third-person perspective that was secretly photographed. What a sin, making a wedding dress for others.
Another roommate joked, "Don't you have a photo of Ji Huai and Yuan Tian? Post it to get the popularity back!"
The greasy and crooked looks of the two of them were a revelation.
"Yes, where is Yuan Tian?" Li Lu wanted to ask Yuan Tian's opinion, otherwise he couldn't act without permission.
Roommate: "She didn't come back. She went out with Ji Huai. I heard they were going to eat hot pot."
"Oh, is she back?" Li Lu sat up.
"Who knows?"
…
At the same time, the two people in question were in the supermarket.
Ji Huai pushed the shopping cart with one hand and held her hand with the other, buying the juice she liked to drink, a few bottles of yogurt, fruits, and vegetables.
They were going to have hot pot today. They originally said they would just buy some vegetables, but as they continued shopping, the shopping cart was filled with items, all of which were the snacks and fruits she wanted to eat.
Seeing the cashier filling three big bags, Yuan Tian felt that it was too much.
"You carry this bag." Ji Huai gave her the bag with snacks, and he easily picked up the other two bags and walked forward.
The bag Yuan Tian carried was very light and could be picked up with one hand. She followed him, quickened her pace, and left her free hand to hold his arm and go home with him.
Ji Huai bought an apartment in the capital at the beginning of this year. It is not far from the school and is a residential area with a relatively good geographical environment. In order to make traveling more convenient, he also bought a car. The price is not expensive and it is energy-saving and low-key.
The main source of funds is competition prize money, as well as some stores he invested in. Since Chen Xiuman and Hu Yarong got together, Hu Yarong opened a gym and a badminton club. Ji Huai invested a lot in the early stage and took shares. The later development was good and the returns were considerable.
He designed the house decoration design, and decorated it according to the style Yuan Tian liked. The furniture was also the style she liked. Later, she bought a lot of small items for the house and decorated it a little bit, making it very warm inside.
After returning home, Ji Huai put the bag on the table, and Yuan Tian started to clean it up. She skillfully opened the refrigerator, put the yogurt in first, then opened the cabinet and took out the plates.
They didn't buy meat from the supermarket. The meat Ji Huai ate was on special supply. He went to the cafeteria today and bought a few kilograms, as well as some other ingredients he needed.
While she was cleaning up, Ji Huai took out the meat from the refrigerator and took the vegetables to the kitchen to start processing them. He has taken care of himself since he was a child. Later, he competed in various places and became independent and neat.
Although Yuan Tian can also take care of herself, she is not skilled in these trivial things, which makes her seem frizzy and may even hurt herself.
By the time she finished cleaning up, Ji Huai had cut the meat, washed the vegetables, and taken out the hot pot base. When Yuan Tian came over, he handed it to her, "Pour this into the pot."
"Oh~~" She took it and went to work.
Ji Huai took out the cantaloupe, held the knife and started to use it. He cut it in a few moments and put it on the fruit plate and took it out.
The aroma of hot pot filled the air. Yuan Tian put vegetables and meat slices in. After they were cooked, he put them in for Ji Huai. There were still some aftereffects when he put them in, and he wondered if he could eat them.
It's not easy to have a normal meal with him.
"It's edible." Ji Huai seemed to understand what she was thinking and said emphatically.
Yuan Tian smiled and pinched him again.
The two were originally sitting facing each other, but then Ji Huai stood up with a bowl in hand, walked to the opposite side and sat next to her, getting closer to her.
The pot was steaming hot, mixed with the aroma of various foods. The meal took an extra long time, and the two of them finished all three plates of meat.
While Yuan Tian was resting, Ji Huai was putting the dishes in the dishwasher. She got up to help wipe the table and sweep the floor. Ji Huai said, "You go take a shower, I'll do it."
"I want to help," she said.
Ji Huai stopped, looked down at her, put his hand on her shoulder again and said, "Yes, but it's not necessary. I will clean it very quickly. It will be fine in a while."
He could finish it in ten minutes at most, but it might take an hour for her to help.
Yuan Tian: "What about me?"
Ji Huai thought for a moment and gently touched the top of her head, "Will you clean again when I'm not at home?"
"Okay~~~" With a smile in her eyes that was as sweet as honey, she turned and entered the room.
Her clothes are placed in the master bedroom. The master bedroom is designed according to her preference. There is a small closet. The large bed is also her favorite style. Even the bed and quilt were chosen by her.
Last month, she bought three sets of couple's pajamas and stacked them neatly in the cabinet. Yuan Tian stepped forward and opened the cabinet, chose the light blue checkered one, took out the women's model, lowered his head and smelled the hot pot smell on his body, and found it really unpleasant, so he took the clothes and went into the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of gurgling water came from inside.
