Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather has begun to be a little muggy.

When Coach Lu walked into the second team training hall, the afternoon training was basically over. Some team members are walking out one after another. And at this moment, in the innermost corner, Zhou Yu was doing footwork training alone, and he didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

didn't bother Zhou Yu, Coach Lu stood by and watched.

After completing the in-situ broken steps and sliding left and right steps, probably seeing that there was no one in the field next to him, Zhou Yu trotted to find a few conical cylinders and put them up one by one.

Coach Lu walked up and wanted to help Zhou Yu adjust the position of the cone. She knew that Zhou Yu should be planning to do a serpentine run below.

"Coach Lu, are you done with the meeting?" Only then did he notice that Coach Lu was coming, and Zhou Yu asked with a smile.

Chong Zhou Yu nodded, and Coach Lu asked, "I remember, there is no arrangement for footwork training today, how can I practice by myself?"

"Yesterday I watched the video of Xue Yang at the World Championships, and I was a little stimulated. The time I fought with her, I couldn't outrun her," Zhou Yu wiped the sweat on his face with the back of his hand, "I want to increase my pace, and when Lin Koukou comes back, my range of activities will expand, and he can also make less effort." ”

After speaking, Zhou Yu began to run.

Looking at Zhou Yu's hair sticking to his face because of sweat, Coach Lu couldn't help but sigh.

Although Zhou Yu is now unable to participate in the competition because she is alone, the second team can see from top to bottom that among all of them, she is the one who trains the hardest.

Only in this way can it be even more regrettable.

"Stop practicing for another ten minutes, don't come blindly!" Coach Lu said to Zhou Yu, turned around and walked outside the training hall again, there was something she had to discuss with Xiao Zifeng.

Zhou Yu didn't know how long he had been practicing later, anyway, when he went to the restaurant to eat, there were few people in it.

"Senior sister!" Xing Xiaolong, who had just finished the meal, turned around and saw Zhou Yu, and hurriedly greeted.

"Are you so late?" Zhou Yu replied casually, walked to the dish area and glanced at it, and found that there was already a basic disc inside, and couldn't help muttering, "It's gone so soon!"

"Eat mine!" Xing Xiaolong immediately stuffed the plate in his hand to Zhou Yu.

"No," Zhou Yu waved his hand, "I'll go find some bread to eat." ”

Zhou Yu is also familiar with the restaurant, and the chef heard that the dishes were gone, so without saying a word, he had to pull a bowl of beef noodles for her. Zhou Yu looked happy, so he sat down at a table in the restaurant and waited.

Xing Xiaolong took the plate and moved it to the opposite of her.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yu raised his eyes and looked at Xing Xiaolong, who was looking over.

"Why don't we continue fighting?" Xing Xiaolong asked.

"Aren't you and your partner a good match?" Zhou Yu put down his phone: "The top six in the Asian Championships, it's okay!"

"I heard that ......" Xing Xiaolong said halfway, and he didn't know why he hesitated, so he didn't say any more.

Zhou Yu simply snatched the words: "Concentrate on doing your things well." At the Olympic Athletes' Meeting half a month ago, didn't you tell me with confidence that you would pass the Olympic trials and win medals, so that your parents would have a long face in front of the villagers?

"I can do both, doesn't the first team also have a senior brother, doubles and mixed doubles together?" Xing Xiaolong stared at Zhou Yu.

"Is it good to figure out your weight?" Zhou Yu was happy, "He is already a world champion and has this strength." You're only on the second team...... Forget it, it's going to stimulate you again. ”

Xing Xiaolong smiled, and wanted to open his mouth, but when he saw Zhou Yu sweeping over, he didn't dare to say anything.

Zhou Yu continued to swipe his mobile phone calmly, not wanting people to see the anxiety in his heart.

In the past two months, Zhou Yu's partner problem has not been resolved. During this period, she has not tried to be paired with others, both mixed doubles and women's doubles. Either the ball path is wrong, or people know that Lin Koukou will have to come back sooner or later, and they don't want to make wedding clothes for others.

Partnering, like falling in love, always requires you and me to be willing. The team has already made arrangements for her, but there is no successful pairing, Zhou Yu has no complaints, but can't help but ask herself, what is the meaning of her existence in the highly competitive national team as a player who can't participate in the competition?

Xiao Zifeng still believes that Zhou Yu should return to Nanhua, at least she can have a game to play, which is the only magic weapon for athletes to maintain their condition. However, Zhou Yu always refused to accept his suggestion. She didn't want to leave here, at least not on her own initiative.

So sometimes, Zhou Yu also feels that he is ridiculously contradictory.

"I was looking for you just now for dinner, where did you go?" Wei Qingqing and Wen Jingyi walked over together.

"In training," Zhou Yu replied casually, and when he noticed the box Wei Qingqing was carrying, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up happily and asked, "Did you really buy it?"

"After the World Championships, in order to help you find this waist tractor, we had to walk around the large and small commercial streets in Cologne for a long time, which was more tiring than playing!" Wen Jingyi replied with a smile.

"Thank you!" Zhou Yu took the things, "After eating, I just went to send the courier." ”

Suddenly, two beautiful girls appeared, Wei Qingqing sat next to him all of a sudden, Xing Xiaolong's face suddenly turned red, and he didn't dare to raise his head even while eating.

Wen Jingyi looked at Xing Xiaolong: "You are Zhou Yu's previous partner?"

"Sister Jingyi, my name is Xing Xiaolong. No one expected that Xing Xiaolong stood up suddenly.

"What the hell, I'm surprised. Wei Qingqing looked at Xing Xiaolong and was amused.

"Sister Jingyi, in the semi-finals between you and Xue Yang last week, I, I think, you played very tenacious, although you were defeated, you are still honored!" Xing Xiaolong became more and more nervous, standing there, reciting sentences, and even a little stumbling.

Zhou Yu was amused and kicked Xing Xiaolong from under the table: "Sit down and say, okay?"

Xing Xiaolong blinked his eyes and sat back obediently.

"I know now, why did you break up with him. Wen Jingyi squeezed her eyes at Zhou Yu.

Wen Jingyi, Zhou Yu and Wei Qingqing have a good relationship in the Nanhua Club, and Nanhua was selected, and there is also a Bai Li, but unfortunately retired due to injury half a year ago.

Among the three girls, Wen Jingyi is the oldest and has the best results, winning the World Cup and several international open championships, as well as the just-concluded third place in the World Championships. Although the name is quite quiet, and she is also beautiful, tall and thin, Wen Jingyi has a very lively personality, and her mouth is the same as Shang Ke, which is a little unforgiving.

Therefore, Zhou Yu and Wei Qingqing glanced at each other, waiting to see how Xing Xiaolong, who didn't open the pot, was taught a lesson by Wen Jingyi.

Xing Xiaolong looked at Wen Jingyi with a confused expression, obviously unable to understand the meaning of her words.

"I seriously suspect that you are making a mockery that I can't beat Xue Yang. No one has ever pointed at me like this, let's have a good chat today!" Wen Jingyi lowered her face coldly.

"I didn't mean that, absolutely not!" Xing Xiaolong was not Wen Jingyi's opponent at all, and he wanted to stand up again, but was pressed down by Wei Qingqing.

"Xing Xiaolong, you know that we are talking about seniority here, you are the first to make it impossible for your senior sister to come off the stage, admire!" Speaking of "admiration", Wen Jingyi deliberately lengthened her voice.

Xing Xiaolong was completely dumbfounded, and Wei Qingqing was already laughing until he lay on the table.

Zhou Yu also coaxed: "It's better for me to be witty, before I was angry with him, I retreated." ”

The beef noodles were ready, and Zhou Yu heard the chef's greeting and hurried to serve the noodles. When she came back, Xing Xiaolong continued to eat, but from time to time, he peeked at Wei Qingqing and Wen Jingyi, who were chatting.

"I saw someone on the Internet saying that the team plans to set up a technical research team to study Xue Yang's playing style, and to find the best plan to beat her before the Olympics," Wei Qingqing was asking Wen Jingyi, "Is this really the case?"

"Don't listen to the rumors outside, I haven't heard of it anyway. However, Director Yan is now stunned, watching Xue Yang's game all day long. By the way, the team is going to pick people below to see if there is anyone who has a similar playing style to Xue Yang, or who knows her ball path, and wants to recruit her as a sparring partner. ”

"Her male-biased style, ordinary people really can't learn it, so it's better to find a male player directly as a sparring partner. Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"The strength and playing style of the male players are different," Wen Jingyi said, "However, there were a few coaches who joked that day, blaming me for not beating Xue Yang at the national championship." If she enters the national team, she will not become a big problem for us. ”

Zhou Yu was eating beef noodles, and he remembered Xue Yang he met that day in the light dance. Aside from anything else, objectively speaking, Xue Yang did seize the opportunity to have his current results.

"It's really fast, there are still two years, and the Olympics are coming again," Wen Jingyi began to sigh: "Do you know, in the last competition, I was eliminated early." Sitting on the sidelines, watching the women's singles championship being taken away by foreigners. If you don't go there, you can't understand the feeling of powerlessness. At that time, everyone regretted that the national flag could not be raised high because of us. At the end of the awards, several girls sat in the bus and cried. ”

"Anyway, I discussed with Feng Xu, work hard, and be selected for the Olympic team. Wei Qingqing was excited when she heard this.

Zhou Yu looked at them, and was envious in his heart, people wanted to participate in the Olympics, but she ......

"How many Olympics has Senior Sister Wen participated in?" Xing Xiaolong also looked admired.

"How many more can I participate in, the Chinese team with such fierce competition is a top god for several consecutive years, and I'm at most a jumping god. Wen Jingyi, who had said it well, made a joke coldly.

Zhou Yu was eating noodles, and because of this sentence, he almost squirted noodles, so he quickly covered his mouth with a tissue.

"After so many years, I really feel tired. But this Olympic trial, I will definitely fight for it. nationwide

There are so many people who play badminton, as long as we can come here, we must seize the opportunity, or we will regret it in this life," Wen Jingyi said this, and pinched Zhou Yu's neck with her hand, who was still happy, "You are still laughing, Wei Qingqing and I are worried about you, you can't find this partner all the time, but what should I do?"

"Talk is talking, don't do it!" Zhou Yu smiled and hid to the side.

"Go tell your boyfriend, don't you know how to use such a good resource?" Wei Qingqing poked his head over.

Zhou Yu glared directly. Knowing that she and Xiao Zifeng are in love, they are all from the Jincheng Sports Academy team. Everyone seems to have a tacit understanding, and this matter is kept secret.

"What are you doing, who else do you want to hide, you go and ask Coach Lu, does she know. Wen Jingyi smiled and pushed Zhou Yu's head.

Zhou Yu was a little stunned, and couldn't help but admonish: "Help, don't say it!"

Although letting the outside world know the identity of her Xiao Zifeng's girlfriend will help her career. However, Zhou Yu is just an ordinary badminton player, although he hopes to win the championship, he understands that this wish cannot be achieved by touching anyone's light.

Xing Xiaolong raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yu, with a puzzled expression, but he obviously didn't dare to ask.

"Well, we're here to talk to you about this today. On the plane back from Cologne, I happened to sit behind the leaders, and I heard them talk about a few good seedlings that they had recently discovered," Wen Jingyi said here, looking at Zhou Yu: "Among them, there is a pair of mixed doubles who have just won the National Youth Championships, and they are the priority targets. ”

"That's good!" Zhou Yu smiled.

"What are you pretending to be stupid with us," Wei Qingqing knocked on the table with his hand, "If someone comes in, it means that someone is leaving." ”

"Senior sister," Xing Xiaolong hesitated for a long time and said, "That afternoon's training meeting of the second team seems to be ...... That's what I said. ”

"Do you really want Zhou Yu to leave the team?" Wei Qingqing blurted out.

Wen Jingyi immediately gave Wei Qingqing a look, signaling not to face Zhou Yu and say it so bluntly.

Xing Xiaolong's head shook like a rattle: "I don't know, I just heard people talking." ”

"I don't know, forget it, what are you nervous about," Wei Qingqing muttered, turned to Zhou Yu and said, "No matter what, you can't still be confused." Listen to me, immediately ask a weighty person to come forward, and explain to the leader that you can't play, such a good state, I believe that if you find the right partner, you will definitely be able to make results. ”

"Obey the team's arrangement!" Zhou Yu said, his mood had fallen to the bottom.

"Let me tell you," Wen Jingyi stretched out her hand to hook Zhou Yu's neck, "The team's current goal is to prepare for next year's two team cups, the World Cup and the Olympic Games later." The adjustment of the whole team has begun, and now those who can come up are the best in China. And when you leave, everyone will subconsciously feel that they are eliminated...... Unless you become another Xue Yang, suddenly radiant. Otherwise, it will be difficult to have a chance to come back again, at least for the next two years. ”

"Senior sister, I'll go to the team tomorrow and apply for us to partner again. Xing Xiaolong immediately made a statement.

"What kind of brain," Wen Jingyi reprimanded, "Tomorrow is off, who are you looking for!"

Xing Xiaolong shrunk his neck, and couldn't help but say: "Actually, Senior Sister trains harder than anyone else, the team leader should know it, and it doesn't have to be let her go down." ”

"No!" Zhou Yu pretended to be relaxed.

"You're not nervous at all," Wei Qingqing laughed angrily, "Okay, if you want to leave, no one can stop you, I look forward to you becoming the second Xue Yang!"

Zhou Yu sighed twice, but sighed in his heart.

There is a supermarket next to the gate of the national training hall that can receive and send couriers, and when Zhou Yu took the waist tractor to be sent, the courier brother happened to be there.

Seeing the courier brother skillfully packing, Zhou Yu paid the delivery fee with his mobile phone, thanked the others, and walked into the supermarket.

Waiting for Zhou Yu to come out again, the courier brother was moving the items to be sent today into the container truck one by one, and inadvertently turned his head to see Zhou Yu, so he asked: "You have won the championship of the National University Games, right?"

Zhou Yu was surprised that there were still people who knew her, and even knew the championship she had won.

"I often go here to deliver goods, I have seen Fang Quan and Zhao Ziang, but it is the first time I have seen you," the courier brother smiled: "National University Games, I was volunteering at that time, just on the sidelines, watching you defeat Zhao Ziang and Hui Yingning, I am very impressed by you, that game, everyone thinks that you and Lin Koukou are going to lose, but you actually won." ”

"I didn't expect it to be so easy to win. Zhou Yu made a joke. It wasn't an easy match, but it was an important match for her and Lin, and from then on, the two found their confidence as professionals.

"At that time, I graduated from college and was not looking for a job, so I was a little depressed, so I followed my friends to volunteer, in fact, to relax. After watching your game, the feeling of defeating the strong with the weak is really cool," the courier brother closed the door of the trunk, turned his head to Zhou Yu and said: "You work hard as an athlete, but you can establish your own value on the field, and you still have the opportunity to win glory for the country and win the championship, you are heroes." Unlike us, we can only live in obscurity in this life. ”

"We are just different in the industry, and we strive to do our own thing, and we are also heroes. Zhou Yu said it casually.

The courier brother got into the car, probably pondered Zhou Yu's words, and smiled: "That's right, if it weren't for me, your courier wouldn't be able to send it, I'm an unsung hero." ”

Zhou Yu was amused: "Hero, deliver my courier on time!"

"It's interesting to chat with you, it's just that I haven't watched you compete for a long time," the courier brother glanced at the national training hall, and then turned back and said: "I wish you to win the world championship as soon as possible like Zhao Ziang and them." ”

"Listening to you, I'm so stressed!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"As for me, I also do a good job of my small logistics company. When I became the big boss, the reporter wanted to come for an interview, and I told him that I had chatted with world champion Zhou Yu outside the national training hall back then. She praised me as a hero and inspired me to fight. After the courier brother finished speaking, he waved his hand very handsomely, and then drove the tricycle and ran away all the way.

Watching the tricycle disappear into the rolling traffic, Zhou Yu turned around and walked towards the national training hall.

When Xixi called, Zhou Yu was walking towards the dormitory.

"You're sending a courier again?" asked Xi Xi.

Zhou Yu hummed and stopped.

"Is it clothes or supplements this time?"

"Didn't you say last time that her waist was uncomfortable again? I consulted the doctor in the team, and there is a German-made lumbar puller that works well. It happened that Wei Qingqing was going to Germany to compete, so I asked someone to bring one for me. ”

"Got it," Xi Xi replied, thought about it, and persuaded again: "It's not interesting to just buy things, call your mother and accompany her for a few words." I think she wants to hear your voice more than receiving a gift. ”

"Then I'm ......" Zhou Yu hesitated again.

"It's not for you to apologize, you're tough enough anyway, I can be considered convinced of you. Just ask her if she is in good health," Xi Xi said with a smile: "Aunt Qiao is going to receive your call, she must be happy to death, so she doesn't care about you." ”

"After a while, okay?" Zhou Yu begged.

"Let's take care of it yourself!" Xi Xi sighed, and then said, "That Qi Luoluo has been prosecuted, and your mother refuses civil compensation on your behalf." ”

Zhou Yu sighed, she really couldn't listen to this name, it was easy to remember the stupid way she vented at her mother that day.

Waiting for Xixi to hang up the phone, Zhou Yu called up the keyboard of his mobile phone and typed out a string of Qiao Fang numbers. However, the finger pressed the dial-out button several times, but in the entanglement, it was retracted.

"Zhou Yu," Coach Lu walked up to him from a distance and said, "Where did you go, I waited for you for a long time!"
