Ice hockey is an extremely fast-paced sport. The situation on the field changes rapidly. Sometimes the audience's eyes can't even catch up with the ball, and they often watch and wonder where the ball has gone. Li Yubing herself was not sure about the slowdown in her reaction. Tang Xue was sitting in the auditorium and had no intuitive feeling. Like everyone else, she only felt that Li Yubing was in a bad state and had a bad rhythm.
Of course, the difference between her and others is that others only care about whether he is playing well or not, only she is worried about whether he is tired or not.
"You may be under too much pressure." Tang Xue said.
In fact, Tang Xue can quite understand Li Yubing's pressure. The outside world's expectations for him are too high. From the media to the fans, he is praised to the sky. Some even call him "the savior of Chinese ice hockey."
"Well, I don't know." Li Yubing replied a little absent-mindedly. Tang Xue rode on his waist, and his healthy and elastic hip muscles pressed tightly against his lower abdomen, which made it hard for him not to pay attention there.
Tang Xue said, "Why don't you take a break?"
"You hold me."
"I'm not talking about now..." Tang Xue was a little embarrassed, but she got off him, got into his arms and rested on his arm, wrapping her arms around him. She said, "I mean, take a break from your club and adjust. It's too hard for you to play non-stop like this."
"I can't rest."
"why?"
Why? The reason for this is a little more complicated.
He has received too much attention now. Some viewers bought tickets because of him, and some sponsors have to pay for the sponsorship fee only after he has appeared for a certain period of time. His current actions involve too many stakeholders, and he can no longer do whatever he wants.
Of course, this is also understandable. Competitive sports are difficult to be purely competitive activities, and must interact with money in various forms in order to gain sufficient vitality. The speed skating team was so poor, Coach Chu was still calculating performance and bonuses every day, and Director Xie was thinking about using athletes' medals to build promotion ladders, not to mention the big cake of ice hockey.
If you want pure competition without any commercial interests, you can probably only go to the park to play table tennis with the uncles and aunts, and you may be abused by the hidden uncles and aunts to the point of crying.
Li Yubing explained briefly. He said it lightly, but Tang Xue felt distressed when she heard it. She tightened her arms and hugged him, and asked, "How about we return the money to the sponsor? It didn't cost much anyway. After paying back the money, I will let you pay less. A game or two, take a breath."
"It can't be counted like that," Li Yubing couldn't help laughing, rubbing her head, "I'm fine."
—
But in fact, not everyone can accept Li Yubing's frequent appearances. Many fans and spectators think that either don't play, and if you want to play, play hard. Li Yubing didn't play well and still took up his position for paddling, and he justly dragged his teammates back.
Some people speculated how big his backstage was, and some people made up his mind about his domineering and bullying in the team. For a while, there were different opinions and rumors. Passers-by's perception of Li Yubing was much worse. Even Li Yubing's own fans were puzzled. Many of them quit their fans immediately. The remaining loyal fans lost their legs because of their trust in Li Yubing. To refute rumors to explain.
But it didn't work.
Gradually, with the continuous poor performance in the game, Li Yubing caused more and more scolding. The media and the public once praised him as a "rare genius", "rhythm master" and "the savior of Chinese ice hockey". A rat shit in the world of balls".
Li Yubing silently changed the id of "Tangxue Global Fan Support Club".
Tang Xue was angry, but once publicly debated with those scolding guys on the Internet.
Netizen: Can Li Yubing get out of the ice hockey circle
Tang Xue: It is normal for an athlete to have ups and downs. Can you give him some time to adjust? Whether you play or not listen to the coach, you know better than the coach
Netizen: Are you in a bad state? I saw him in good shape when he participated in the event. He should be an actor.
Tang Xue: The business activities are arranged by the club.
Netizen: I'm so active when I make money, I'm a dish B when I play games.
Tang Xue: Can you speak more cleanly
Netizen: Oh yo yo, is the dog jumping off the wall in a hurry
Netizen: Your boyfriend became a soft-footed shrimp in the competition. It must be because you squeezed him dry on the bed, right
Netizen: Don't embarrass Li Yubing anymore, come to me, I will definitely satisfy you.
…
Tang Xue blackened a group of people with a livid face, and then pulled Xia Menghuan to talk.
Xia Menghuan was a little strange: "Your Majesty, don't you usually care about those messy online comments?"
Tang Xue didn't care, but she cared about Li Yubing. Li Yubing was scolded like that, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. Let me tell you, there are so many trolls on the Internet now, and your mouth is so dirty, you can't get angry. Some people are not necessarily human or dogs even though they are connected to the Internet."
"Don't say that, the dog is so cute."
In the evening, Tang Xue went to the campus flower shop to buy roses. Because the flower shop was about to close, the roses were all on sale at a discount. She bought an oversized bunch and stood downstairs in Li Yubing's dormitory holding roses. The otaku who entered and exited the dormitory building glared at her when they saw her, and then thought of who this person was her girlfriend, and silently wiped the saliva from their mouths.
Li Yubing didn't come back until almost eleven o'clock. He went to a foreign country to play a game, and now he is very dusty, dragging a large suitcase.
As soon as he came back, he found his girlfriend holding flowers waiting for him. There is nothing more heartwarming than this.
All his fatigue disappeared, he walked towards her with a smile in his eyes, and his steps were brisk.
Tang Xue's face was reddened by the roses, cute and delicious.
Li Yubing really wanted to hug her. It's a pity there is a huge bouquet of roses.
She handed the roses to him, "Here, for you."
Li Yubing held the flower in one hand and pulled her into his arms with the other.
Tang Xue felt that this was too high-profile, and wanted to refuse, he tightened his arms, "Don't move."
So she stopped struggling and hugged him back.
Li Yubing lowered her head, buried her face on the side of her neck, and took a deep breath.
Tang Xue leaned her face against his chest and asked him, "Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired when I see you."
Tang Xue smiled, "Li Yubing."
"Um?"
"If someone scolds you, don't take it to heart, those are all monsters."
Li Yubing laughed softly, "Okay."
"Also, next Tuesday's match in Beijing, I'm going to the scene to cheer you on."
"No class?"
"No way."
Li Yubing's heart warmed and she bit her ear, "I really want to put you in my pocket and take it out when I miss you."
…
Li Yubing, who returned to the dormitory with the rose, was greeted by his roommates. He explained: "Girlfriend gave it."
"We know!" The roommates said they didn't want to hear it.
Li Yubing settled the roses, Lao Deng circled around the delicate flower cluster a few times, closed his eyes and breathed in enjoyment, smelled the strong aroma, and exaggeratedly sighed: "Well... I feel like a fairy now. "
"Are you a pig raised by a fairy?" The dormitory boss laughed at Lao Deng's body.
"Nonsense, what do fairies do with pigs?"
"Don't fairies like to eat pig's trotters?"
"Second Ao..."
The roommates were chatting and raising the bar, and Li Yubing was quietly packing his luggage. After a while, Old Deng came over and said, "Hey, Li Yubing, did you know that your daughter-in-law quarreled with someone."
The words "your daughter-in-law" made Li Yubing smile. Hearing the quarrel, he frowned again and looked up at Lao Deng: "What's going on?"
"You are arguing with someone on Weibo, and Chongguan is angry with the ice god. You have earned such a daughter-in-law." Lao Deng said, and patted his shoulder, "In the future, Tang Xue has friends who can introduce him to him. I know."
Li Yubing looked at Lao Deng's fat body, um, he wouldn't push Tang Xue's friend into the fire pit.
He used his mobile phone to surf the Internet, went to Tang Xue's Weibo homepage, and looked at her chat records with netizens.
The more you look, the more ugly your face becomes.
After reading it, Li Yubing exited Weibo with a sullen face, squinted and thought for a while, then dialed his mother's number.
"Mom, your daughter-in-law was bullied."
