On the first rest day of the national team, Zhou Yu and Lin Kou were tasked with participating in a youth badminton public welfare promotion activity as representatives of the second team, following the coach and several senior brothers and sisters.

The event was held in the training hall of a badminton club, and as soon as the group arrived, it was not surprising that the parents and children were cheered.

At this time, several world champions of the national team were surrounded by groups, signing autographs and taking group photos. As nobodies, Zhou Yu and Lin Koukou dutifully acted as background boards, and occasionally helped people take photos.

Until, a teenage girl came over with a signature book and handed it to Zhou Yu: "Sister, sign for me!"

Zhou Yu suddenly felt flattered, and wrote down his name on the autograph book very seriously.

"Your name is Zhou Yu?" The little girl obviously didn't know who she was.

"To introduce, this is the mixed doubles champion at last year's National Championships, and she also won the gold medal in the National Club League, so it just so happens that I am her partner. Lin Koukou was not willing to be lonely, and came over to join in the fun.

"Oh, that's amazing!" the little girl said quite sensibly, but after saying that, she turned around and ran.

"Why are you leaving, why don't you sign with me!" Lin Koukou said stupidly.

Zhou Yu looked at the little girl's back and suddenly thought of Beibei. Before leaving Rongcheng for Beijing, Zhou Yu specially called Beibei's mother and wanted to chat with her little apprentice, but heard an unexpected news...... Babe fell ill.

According to Beibei's mother, the child's leg hurt for a while, and now it suddenly hurts again. The specific situation depends on the results of the hospital examination. Zhou Yu counted the number of days, and the results should be able to come out, she planned to go back to the dormitory at night and ask again.

"Sad!" Lin Koukou let out a few long sighs, turned around and walked away, Zhou Yu didn't know who he was talking about.

Seeing that Lin Koukou was about to squeeze into another crowd, Zhou Yu hurriedly reminded: "Don't forget, there will be a game later." ”

"It's boring to fight with amateurs!" Lin Kou deducted a few gold medals in his hand, and now he also has tsundere capital.

At this moment, on a court in the center of the training hall, two world champions are in the men's singles exhibition match. Zhou Yu walked over and followed everyone to look at it.

"Not to mention, there are so many men's singles players in and out of the national team, and the one I admire the most is Lao Xiao. His style of play, which starts quickly, has strong explosiveness, and the attack is accurate, and it looks clean and neat. A coach who brought Zhou Yu and them over talked about Xiao Zifeng coldly.

Looking at the field, Zhou Yu's feet quietly moved to the other side.

Another coach took over and sounded full of regret: "When Xiao Zifeng left the national team with the front foot, I only came in with the back foot, and I didn't have a chance to play with him." ”

"That's your luck, he occupied the first place in the world in those years, there were almost no opponents, and everyone who played men's singles at that time wanted to be Lao Xiao, but he couldn't kill him. Whether in terms of personal talent or technique and tactics, there has been no better condition than him so far, and there may be one in the future, but it is quite difficult. ”

"Hey, why did you mention him all of a sudden?"

"I just got the news, Xiao Zifeng came here for a meeting, this guy is really unforgettable. ”

Zhou Yu's eyes couldn't help flashing, and he turned his head in the end.

"I don't really understand, I was still in my prime, and I wasn't injured, how did Xiao Zifeng say that he would retire, do you know the reason?"

"I retired earlier than Lao Xiao and didn't make this trip. I only heard that the team gave a gag order at that time, and the information was not developed at that time, so I really can't figure out what the specific thing is. I vaguely heard a little bit about it, and it had something to do with his girlfriend. ”

Zhou Yu retracted his gaze, and the corners of his lips couldn't help pursing.

At this time, on the field, the two players picked up the high ball and pulled it for several rounds, causing the children to cry out excitedly.

By the time Zhou Yu and Lin Koukou came on the court, they were playing against a pair of fifteen or sixteen-year-old young players, although their faces were still childish, but whether they were boys or girls, they looked quite strong.

After playing a few balls, Zhou Yu could see that they had received a certain amount of training and were considered masters in amateurs, but when they met professional, they were obviously not good.

As an athlete, even if Lin Koukou didn't think so, as soon as he entered the game, he and Zhou Yu went straight to win.

Because they were too involved, Zhou Yu and Lin Koukou didn't notice that there was another group of people in the venue, and there was a figure they were very familiar with.

That's when the accident happened suddenly.

At the beginning of the second game, Lin Koukou made a very ordinary jump killing action, but when he landed, his right foot was broken, and then the whole person fell to the ground.

Zhou Yu stood in the front court, heard Lin Koukou's "ouch", turned his head suddenly, and saw him lying on his back on the ground, covering his right ankle with a painful face.

Before Zhou Yu could run over, a figure had already squeezed through the crowd, rushed into the arena, and half-knelt beside Lin Koukou.

Zhou Yu looked at the man with a shocked expression, who would have thought that Xiao Zifeng would be like this...... It fell from the sky.

In the orthopedic observation room of Xieying Hospital, Lin Koukou slept on the hospital bed, the pain probably hadn't passed, and he gasped from time to time, looking at Zhou Yu with a pair of sad eyes.

"Didn't the doctor just say that there is a high possibility of a sprain, don't think too much about it. Zhou Yu comforted for the Nth time.

"Lao Xiao said that I was looking for an expert to help me watch the film, how long has it been, why haven't I come back? Don't just chat with people, I'm dying of pain!" Lin Kou said in pieces.

"I'll take a look!" Zhou Yu couldn't stand Lin Koukou's complaining eyes, and planned to go out to take some breath.

"It's over, I was injured when I just entered the team," Lin Koukou thought a little too much, and looked at Zhou Yu at this time, "Will the national team return me?"

"Let's retreat together!" Zhou Yu twisted his brows and walked out of the observation room.

As soon as Zhou Yu stood in the corridor, he saw Xiao Zifeng coming back, still holding the film that Lin Koukou had just taken in his hand.

"Senior brother, how is the situation?" Zhou Yu hurriedly asked.

Xiao Zifeng's appearance was really not one step earlier, nor one step later, at the moment when Lin Koukou was injured.

At this time, it was obvious that Xiao Zifeng really felt sorry for the team members he brought out, and after simply checking the injury, he directly took Lin Koukou to Xieying Hospital, which is said to have the best orthopedic experts in China.

"I'm sure I didn't hurt the bones," Xiao Zifeng replied, walked to the door of the observation room, and said to Lin Koukou inside: "The lateral ankle ligament is injured, it is a little swollen, and if you want to recover, it will take at least half a month." ”

Lin Koukou let out a long sigh, I don't know if he was sad that he couldn't continue training, or glad that the problem was not as serious as he thought.

Zhou Yu also followed, feeling a little depressed, the game just now was not too intense, who knew that the boat overturned in the gutter, Lin Koukou actually slipped on the ground and was badly injured.

"Coach Lu and the team doctor will come to pick you up in a while. Xiao Zifeng said again.

"Got it, thank you for your guidance!" Lin Koukou replied coyly.

"Isn't it just half a month, and it's gone by soon. Zhou Yu persuaded again.

A doctor and nurse came over, bypassed Xiao Zifeng and Zhou Yu, and entered the observation room.

"We're outside, what's the matter, you scream. Xiao Zifeng said.

Zhou Yu was still looking in, and a big hand suddenly grabbed her.

Glancing at Xiao Zifeng, Zhou Yu followed him and stood by the wall opposite the observation room.

"How could this happen. Zhou Yu couldn't help but mutter.

Xiao Zifeng didn't speak, just looked at her fixedly.

In the past few days in Beijing, Xiao Zifeng has been struggling with whether to come to see Zhou Yu, but he didn't expect that he would meet Zhou Yu unexpectedly when he was invited to observe the national team's public welfare promotion activities.

Xiao Zifeng, who has always been an atheist, now believes that there is indeed a kind of metaphysics in this world, called ...... Fate.

"As an athlete, he lacks a sense of self-protection, so he should suffer a little. Xiao Zifeng said not very kindly, and even laughed. Unexpectedly, because of Lin Koukou's injury, he and Zhou Yu had a rare opportunity to be alone.

The hands of the two men never let go, and in view of the people coming and going, their bodies kept a distance from each other.

"Why did Senior Brother come over?" Zhou Yu asked after thinking about it.

Just heard that Xiao Zifeng came to Beijing, Zhou Yu was still puzzled in his heart, the senior brother was in the local area, and if he didn't come to her, he wouldn't say a word.

When I saw someone, I forgot my doubts, and only the little joy in my heart remained.

"Come over for a meeting," Xiao Zifeng explained, looked left and right again, and lowered his voice, "I'm too busy, I haven't come to see you." ”

Zhou Yu lowered his head and smiled shyly.

Looking at the little girl in front of him, Xiao Zifeng actually thought of Qiao Fang again at this moment.

Kicking that person's iron plate again, Xiao Zifeng was extremely frustrated, but even so, he didn't think about letting go of Zhou Yu.

"I'm looking for you, you'll be there, right?" Xiao Zifeng suddenly wanted Zhou Yu to make a promise, so he really asked directly.

"Where can I go!" Zhou Yu tilted his head to look at Xiao Zifeng, but he didn't hear it, there was another deep meaning in his words.

also felt that he was hypocritical, Xiao Zifeng coughed and found a topic: "Are you used to being here?"

"Senior brother has asked several times. Zhou Yu chuckled.

The corners of Xiao Zifeng's lips curled unconsciously, no matter how convenient the communication method was, it couldn't make him feel at ease like looking at Zhou Yu with his own eyes.

"Okay, then I'll answer Senior Brother again. Even though we were in the second team, the training was quite intense. In a few months, there will be a match against the Danish youth team. I told Lin Koukou that I would try to get into the game. Zhou Yu said this, but suddenly paused, looked at the observation room, and sighed softly.

Lin Koukou was injured this time, and I don't know what the impact it will have on him.

"There is time, and it is not a big problem for Lin to buckle the game. Xiao Zifeng guessed Zhou Yu's thoughts.

Zhou Yu has always believed in Xiao Zifeng's words the most, and when he heard that he was determined, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and continued: "I have figured it out now, the first team and the second team are in the ascending system. If you perform well, you will be promoted to the first team quickly, but if you don't perform well, you will fall out of the first team.

Facing Xiao Zifeng, Zhou Yu couldn't help but want to say something in his heart: "It's okay for me and you to buckle, anyway, the short-term goal, step into the first team as soon as possible." ”

"That's right," Xiao Zifeng remembered: "The expert watched the film just now, and Lin Koukou has an old injury to his right ankle. This kid didn't say anything just now. Now the question is, even if the situation is not serious this time, it is still necessary to pay attention. If you do it again, it may lead to ligament damage, and you can't stand on your feet at the back, how to play, you stare at him, usually play support and fix, and you must wear protective gear. ”

Zhou Yu snorted, and was about to speak, when Lin Koukou's shout came from the observation room: "Zhou Yu, I want to drink water, I'm dying of thirst!"

"Got it," Zhou Yu walked to the door of the observation room, "Don't call, I'll buy you water, what else do you need?"

Lin Koukou looked towards the door: "Anyway, I want to eat and drink, why am I so unlucky? Drink cold water and stuff my teeth, buy me milk tea!"

"It's good to have water to drink, no milk tea!" Xiao Zifeng came over and said a word, took Zhou Yu's hand, and walked outside.

Zhou Yu came to Beijing for a few days, and he was not familiar with the place. Fortunately, Xiao Zifeng was by his side, and he turned around and took her to find a small supermarket located in the hospital.

"Senior brother is quite familiar with this place?" Zhou Yu was curious while picking up things on the shelves at this time.

"I used to live in Xieying for several months," Xiao Zifeng looked around, "I used to get up in the middle of the night, turn around in my wheelchair, and run here to buy chocolates. By the way, get me a few. ”

Zhou Yu laughed, the Xiao brothers are really close, and they all like to eat chocolate.

"Old Xiao?" A person in a doctor's uniform entered the supermarket and stood straight in front of Xiao Zifeng, "When you pass outside, you feel like the people inside." ”

Xiao Zifeng was a little surprised at first, then laughed, and shook hands with the other party: "Lao Jiang, have you returned to China?"

"How many years ago, when I came back, you had already retired and gone abroad, and you couldn't get through on the phone. "That Doctor Jiang is obviously very familiar with Xiao Zifeng.

Zhou Yuzheng took a few pieces of chocolate and put them in the shopping cart, and inadvertently raised his head and glanced at Dr. Jiang.

"Girlfriend?" Dr. Jiang asked with a smile.

Turning around and glancing at Zhou Yu, Xiao Zifeng nodded at Dr. Jiang, and then introduced the two of them.

"Sure enough, it's a public figure, and the more you look for your girlfriend, the younger and more beautiful you are," Dr. Jiang seemed to be a big grin, and blurted out later, "I advised you at the time, there is no grass anywhere in the world, and there is no need to hang yourself on a crooked-necked tree." ”

The first time he saw his friend as Xiao Zifeng's girlfriend, Zhou Yu should have felt embarrassed, but at this time, he stared directly at Dr. Jiang, pondering what he meant by the "crooked neck tree" he just said.

"Married?" Xiao Zifeng diverted the topic.

"My son is 6 years old," Dr. Jiang said with a smile, "By the way, he doesn't seem to be very good at his brain, and I have been taking him to play badminton recently to see if he can lead the way." I remember you told me before that six or seven years old is just the right time to start training. I now often brag to that kid that one of my friends is a World Champion, and my son still doesn't believe it!"

"My brain is not good, I ...... playing badminton," Xiao Zifeng muttered, quite a little crying and laughing.

"Just say it, don't take it seriously," Dr. Jiang said, took out his business card from his pocket, and said to Xiao Zifeng: "Since you have met, leave a number and add WeChat." In the future, my arms and legs will not work, just come to me, by the way, you can find my wife if you have a child. ”

Zhou Yu felt that his eyes were cast, his face turned red, and he hid behind Xiao Zifeng.

"What do you say...... I really can't take it. Xiao Zifeng shook his head and exchanged business cards with Dr. Jiang.

Dr. Jiang looked at the time to leave, but suddenly stopped and asked curiously, "How did you hear last time that someone insinuated that you were involved in medicine, who did you offend?"

"There's no way, the mouth grows on someone's body. Xiao Zifeng said lightly.

Dr. Jiang patted Xiao Zifeng on the shoulder and left.

Zhou Yu suddenly thought of the rumor released by Fan Lin, according to Xi Xi, it was menacing, and there was no trace of it. The day before, he was extremely vicious, and he made it clear that he wanted to black Xiao Zifeng, but the next day he disappeared without a trace.

"Senior brother knows so many people. Walking outside the small supermarket, Zhou Yu said casually.

Xiao Zifeng smiled: "After being injured once, I know each other up and down here, and Lao Jiang was still a resident doctor at the time." Did you notice the nameplate he wore on his chest, now he is the deputy chief physician. ”

"Injured...... Was it that cruciate ligament strain?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask.

"How do you feel that you know myself better than I do. Xiao Zifeng said half-jokingly, then looked up at a three-story building not far away, and pointed with his finger, "I lived there at the time, and the doctor announced that my leg was useless and I could not continue to play." For months on end, I was lying on the third floor in a hospital bed. You noticed a plane tree, and every day when I open my eyes, all I can see is it. ”

"Didn't you get cured later?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Because...... I don't want to just plant it. Xiao Zifeng didn't know what he thought, and a slightly bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Was Fu Xiaoyue accompanying you at that time?" Zhou Yu didn't know why, his mind was confused, and the words came out.

"It's not. Xiao Zifeng replied without hesitation.

Zhou Yu lowered her head embarrassedly, she was so stupid, what kind of strength did she compare with the people in the past!

"Go up, don't really kill that kid with thirst. Xiao Zifeng said, took the bag in Zhou Yu's hand, and walked towards the hospital building.

Xiao Zifeng's pace was a little fast, Zhou Yu chased after a few steps, and couldn't help but ask him, "When will Senior Brother leave?"

"The train in the evening. Xiao Zifeng replied, glanced at Zhou Yu again, and felt inexplicable in his heart. I saw you in such a hurry, and I don't know when I will see you next time.

If he could, Xiao Zifeng really wanted to stay with Zhou Yu all the time. For him, such a separation is not only missing, but also apprehensive.

"Isn't it going to be against the Danish youth team? Xiao Zifeng suddenly made a decision, turned his head to Zhou Yu and said.

Zhou Yu's happiness was instantly overflowing.
