On the third day of the friendly match between the second team and the Danish youth team, everything looked like normal.

Zhou Yu sat on the edge of the field where Lin Koukou was injured, propped his hands behind him, his brows tightened unconsciously, and stared at the bottom of the net. Occasionally, a teammate came over to chat with her, and as soon as the people left, Zhou Yu's eyes went back again, like a demon.

That's where the Danes fell.

When I returned to the team today, Zhou Yu only heard about it. The Danish youth team claimed that there was water on the ground, which caused their players to slip and fall. At that time, I was busy taking people to the hospital, and no one paid attention to it. There were cameras at the scene, and the cameras were not pointed at the ground. Now there is no proof of death. But according to the veteran players, this training hall has been used for so long, and it is the first time that this kind of thing has happened.

Now the first one who fell is already alive, and now he is sitting on the sideline of the opposite side, talking and laughing with his teammates. Only Lin Buckle ...... If he had reacted first at that time, it would not have been to hurt others and hide to the side. If he really stepped on the other party, he wouldn't be so badly hurt.

When Xiao Zifeng walked over, Zhou Yu, who was deep in thought, didn't notice it at all.

"I went to see Lin Koukou in the morning, and I didn't have a fever anymore, and the inflammation went away. Lin Koukou's mother will arrive in these two days. Xiao Zifeng squatted next to Zhou Yu and looked at her.

Zhou Yu realized that someone was coming, and when he turned his head, he still maintained the expression just now.

"Worried about Lin Buckle?" Xiao Zifeng asked in a low voice.

Changing positions, Zhou Yu hugged himself with his arms and looked down at his legs.

It's been so long that she's used to having a little tail-like Lin Buckle by her side. Whether you enter the school team, join the South China Club or come here, they are two people.

When the whole team gathered just now, Zhou Yu was a little stunned for a while, and she was actually thinking, where did Lin Koukou go again? After looking around for a long time, she came back to her senses. The person is still in the hospital, tormented by a ruptured cruciate ligament, and is in pain.

At that moment, Zhou Yu, who was standing in the middle of his teammates, only felt ...... in his heart Empty.

"I'll go back in the evening. Probably the suit was too tight, Xiao Zifeng unbuttoned his jacket and sat on the ground with Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu looked at Xiao Zifeng, this is leaving, he didn't seem to say a few words.

"The experts of the national team's medical team have already consulted Lin Koukou, and the operation should be successful," Xiao Zifeng said, looking at the watch on his wrist, "In half an hour, I will have a meeting with your coaching staff to talk about Lin Koukou's injury, as well as your next training arrangements, mainly about the partner." ”

After being stunned for a few seconds, Zhou Yu reacted and blurted out: "I want to wait for Lin Koukou to come back." ”

Xiao Zifeng stared at Zhou Yu intently, as if wondering what was going on in her head.

Zhou Yu held his face with both hands, looked at the net in front of him, and avoided Xiao Zifeng's gaze,

A girl in a Danish team uniform walked over and greeted her: "Secretary General Xiao." ”

Zhou Yu turned his head and looked at Xue Yang, who was standing in front of Xiao Zifeng at this moment.

"You're coming to see the game?" Xue Yang said, his gaze pausing at Zhou Yu.

Xiao Zifeng stood up from the ground, straightened his suit, and asked Xue Yang: "I heard that you won the European Youth Championship last month, congratulations!"

Xue Yang lowered his head slightly, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the coaching lesson you gave me, in that game, I tried to relax myself and pull the rhythm away according to what you said, I feel that the pressure on the field is much less." ”

"I'm not that magical, I just rely on experience to see some of your problems," Xiao Zifeng shook his head, and then encouraged, "Keep fighting hard!"

Xue Yang pursed his lips and smiled, and asked Zhou Yu on the ground again: "Is your partner okay?"

"How good can you get from such a serious injury?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but mutter.

His eyes fell on the Danish man who was injured on the opposite side, and Zhou Yu became more and more unhappy. Later, he lived next door to Lin Koukou's ward, and he only stayed for a day before going back, and he didn't see anyone come to visit Lin Koukou. Even if Lin Koukou doesn't want to pursue anything, those people can't act like they're okay!

"It's really a pity," Xue Yang should have guessed Zhou Yu's thoughts, and glanced at the Danish team opposite, "When you go abroad, you will find that their culture is different from ours." People deliberately keep a distance from each other, not to mention what they care about each other. In everything you do, people naturally think about themselves first. If you're honest with them, they'll you off!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Xue Yang laughed, and then sighed.

felt that Xue Yang was quite knowledgeable about human feelings, and Zhou Yu couldn't help but have a good impression of her.

"It's certain that the Chinese women's singles will have one more strong competitor in the future, but I still wish you to achieve your dreams. Xiao Zifeng said again.

"Thank you, Secretary General Xiao," Xue Yang thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I rejected your suggestion to stay in China. At the time, I probably didn't make my thoughts clear. I'm twenty-four years old, and I'm a late starter, so if I want to get results, I'm running out of time. You asked me to hone my skills in Hongxing and wait another year. I understand your good intentions, but this year, another group of new people will come up. I don't want to wait until I lose my fighting spirit and compete with new people. ”

Twenty-four years old?

Zhou Yu looked at Xue Yang, not understanding why this girl of the same age as her had such a strong sense of urgency, Zhou Yu felt that he still had a lot of time!

"I've read those comments on the Internet and think that I betrayed the motherland," Xue Yang smiled bitterly, "Actually, I just want to play a few more high-level matches and not let my short career gain nothing." ”

A few minutes later, Zhou Yu watched Xue Yang return to the Danish team, leaning alone in a corner.

"We've done a lot to keep her. The Hung Hing Club offered good conditions. If Xue Yang wasn't so anxious, with her understanding, it would be a matter of time before she would play in an international competition. Xiao Zifeng said regretfully: "Sports have no borders, but athletes have nationality." At that time, the proudest thing for us was to look at the five-star red flag, because we raised it high. So I can't imagine what it would be like for a Chinese to stand on the podium and raise someone else's flag in front of him?"

Zhou Yuchengxin brought the topic back again: "In the future, standing on the podium with me and watching the national flag rise, it can only be Lin Koukou." ”

Xiao Zifeng looked at Zhou Yu, thought for a while, and said, "In this case, rehabilitation training is a long process, and you can't stop just waiting for him." If the golfer does not go to the actual battle, the level will definitely plummet. Do you find that you lack Xue Yang's sense of crisis, some of her ideas are right, newcomers are emerging in an endless stream, at this time, if you don't advance, you will retreat. ”

Zhou Yu bit her lip tightly, she had played doubles for so many years, and she had changed more than one or two partners, so she would not be so hypocritical. Even Zhou Yu understands that this is an unavoidable problem. In fact, what she couldn't figure out was that Lin Koukou had just finished the operation, and began to discuss the substitution, which was too cruel.

"Okay, don't sit here, hurry up and do physical training, you can't keep it so wasted. Xiao Zifeng reached out and patted Zhou Yu on the back, lowered his voice again, and coaxed, "Obedient!"

After a pause, Zhou Yu turned around and walked towards the equipment area, seemingly forgetting to say goodbye to Xiao Zifeng.

On the rest day two days later, Zhou Yu came to Lin Koukou's ward early in the morning.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Mother Lin, who came over yesterday, sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, wiping her tears with her back to Lin Koukou, Zhou Yu was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Probably didn't expect Zhou Yu to appear, Mother Lin was stunned for a moment, then quietly shook her head at her, stood up again, and deliberately replied in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, the doctor said that Buckle is in good physical condition and recovers quickly." ”

Zhou Yu also realized that he was reckless, so he quickly shut up and looked at Lin Koukou.

Lin Koukou didn't seem to notice Zhou Yu coming, and just stared blankly at the ceiling above his head.

After staring at Lin Koukou silently for a moment, Zhou Yu turned his head and saw that there were only mother and son in the ward, so he asked Lin's mother, "Where did my uncle go?"

"The car came from your team, and he passed. Mother Lin beckoned Zhou Yu to sit down again.

Coming to the team?

Zhou Yu felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to ask more when he looked at the expressionless Lin Koukou.

The nurse came over and asked Lin to change the dressing. Lin Koukou finally reacted, no matter what, he had to let Zhou Yu take his mother out.

Zhou Yu understood. Lin Koukou usually looks the same as he looks, but at critical moments, he still looks quite presentable. At this time, he was obviously afraid that his injuries would scare his mother, so he had to drive people outside.

In the end, it was Zhou Yu who pulled Mother Lin, and the two of them went out of the ward together.

Standing in the corridor, Mother Lin sighed and said, "Zhou Yu, I heard Daddy Buckle say that before he arrived, all of you were helping to take care of him, so you can worry about it." Fortunately, the condition of the buckle is now stable, and the doctor agrees, and we will be transferred to the hospital next Monday. ”

"Transfer to the hospital, go back to Jincheng?" Zhou Yu was taken aback.

"Yes, Jincheng People's Hospital has a special sports rehabilitation center," Lin's mother said: "Instructor Xiao of your sports academy team is really good, you know, he heard that the buckle was injured, put down his work, and specially accompanied the child's father over, and now even the follow-up treatment has been arranged for us." ”

Zhou Yu chuckled in his heart: "Do you want to be so fast?"

Coach Xiao said that the rehabilitation team over there is ready. So today, Buckle Dad is going to the national team, Coach Xiao has said hello to that side, and will go through the procedures for leaving the team as soon as possible. Mother Lin replied.

At this moment, Zhou Yu looked at Mother Lin blankly as if he was frozen.

"Buckle had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel with his dad last night, he didn't want to leave, he was afraid that he would never come back in the future. His dad couldn't help it, so he called Director Xiao, and then we both avoided it and let them video alone for a long time. In the end, he agreed to go back, and told us that he would take advantage of the rehabilitation training to go back to the sports institute to get his college diploma. I thought it would be fine, but this morning, I heard that his dad was going to the team, and the buckle became like this again,"

Mother Lin said, stretched out her head to look at the ward again, and then came back and continued: "Zhou Yu, if you have time in the future, can you call him." This kid ...... How to say, a few months ago, I happily entered the national team, saying that I wanted to win the world championship, giving our old couple a long face, and in a blink of an eye, it was ...... So go back. ”

"I ......" Zhou Yu didn't know what to say.

Xieying Hospital, in the small supermarket where Xiao Zifeng brought Zhou Yu last time, Zhou Yu finished paying the money at the cashier and carried a bag full of snacks.

After Lin Koukou changed the medicine, Zhou Yu didn't go in with Lin's mother, saying that he was going to buy something, so he came here.

Zhou Yu picked out all the things that Lin Koukou likes to eat, potato chips, small cakes, plum blossoms, etc. He still likes to drink Coke, but Zhou Yu didn't take it, that kind of thing is not nutritious, and it is not good for wounds.

I've never seen a boy like to snack so much. In the past, when Lin Koukou was unhappy, Zhou Yu used this method to coax him. But today Zhou Yu knew that even if he bought more junk food he liked, Lin Koukou would not be happy.

Standing outside the small supermarket, the more Zhou Yu thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became.

If Zhou Yu was guilty before, Lin Koukou's injury was somewhat negligent. But now, in addition to guilt, Zhou Yu has a kind of self-blame of "I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me".

Heaven and man have been fighting for a long time, but Zhou Yu still decided to call Xiao Zifeng.

As soon as the phone was connected, Zhou Yu was a little uncontrollably excited: "Lin Koukou is going back to Jincheng, and he has been injured for less than a week!"

"Are you over there with Lin Koukou?" Xiao Zifeng asked rhetorically.

"You can't do this!" Zhou Yu's voice was a little choked, since Lin Koukou had an accident, she had cried several times.

Xiao Zifeng paused for a moment and said calmly: "I suffered the same injury as Lin Koukou, because I was eager to win at that time, and I didn't end up, but the situation was more serious than Lin Koukou, and there was necrosis of the femoral head." The operation took almost a day. The doctor said I was lucky to be able to stand up and walk. But then I recovered from my injury and got back on the field. So, this is just a small setback, Lin Koukou promised me yesterday that I will work hard to overcome it and strive to come back as soon as possible. ”

"I mean, if you want to drive people, you can't be in such a hurry, how long has he been injured, why don't you consider Lin Koukou's feelings?" Zhou Yu became more and more excited.

"No one rushed Lin Koukou, his treatment was over, and after that, it was time for systematic rehabilitation. The second team, the club, and Mr. Lin and I have repeatedly discussed this matter, and now is the best time to go back and go directly to the recovery stage. In my opinion, this arrangement is the most beneficial to Lin Koukou. Xiao Zifeng said unhurriedly. But to Zhou Yu's ears, he is just unkind.

"Is it to make room for Lin Kou?" Zhou Yu had never spoken so harshly, but today he spoke.

In Zhou Yu's cognition at the moment, an important reason why Xiao Zifeng was so anxious to promote Lin Koukou's departure was to let her change partners as soon as possible. Although this is very good for her, Zhou Yu doesn't want to be so selfish.

"Zhou Yu, I hope you can look at this issue rationally, if you think that our handling is a waiver of Lin Koukou, it will be extreme. An injury cannot make us deny the value of an athlete, and after Lin Koukou officially recovers, there is still a chance. Just like I did back then. ”

"It's all my fault that I can't do this to Lin Buckle," Zhou Yu suddenly lost his strength, squatted directly on the ground, hugged the bag in his hand, and tears fell down in large pieces, "If my racket wasn't bad that day, I wouldn't have run off the court and let him guard the net alone; I know, he's hurt because of me!"

"Lin Koukou didn't blame anyone. Xiao Zifeng exhaled lightly over there, and finally understood why Zhou Yu reacted so violently to Lin Koukou's departure.

"You can do without him, I can't. Zhou Yu's voice was buzzing.

Hearing Zhou Yu's sobbing, Xiao Zifeng felt a little in his heart, but in the end, he couldn't reach it, so he had to try to lower his voice and said: "Xiao Yu, there is no saying that there is a place to be made, our starting point is to stand in the position of Lin Koukou. I understand your feelings, this time it was an accident, and it is useless to hold you responsible, and it is not your responsibility. ”

Zhou Yu on the other end of the phone seemed to be whimpering.

Xiao Zifeng was a little helpless: "What we have to do now is to encourage Lin Koukou." You should first believe that when he recovers from his injury, you can still work together. And Lin Koukou will also regain his courage because of your ideas. ”

Zhou Yu: "......"

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Zifeng said a little cautiously: "Zhao Ziang will enter the national first team soon." Hearing that Lin Koukou was injured, he offered to offer that in addition to the individual events, he can also do mixed doubles, if you don't object......"

"Don't!" Zhou Yu didn't think about it, and refused loudly, "Since Lin Koukou is back, I will go back too." At the beginning, the two of us agreed that whoever wanted to quit would not fight the other. Now it's time for me to keep my promise. ”

"Xiao Yu, can this be impulsive?" Xiao Zifeng didn't want Zhou Yu to be impulsive, but he roared impulsively first.

Zhou Yu touched his face, stood up again, and instantly made up his mind, "I'll hand over the report to the team when I go back, I swore to Lin Koukou, and I can't keep my word." ”

"You are an adult now, you have to think about your future with the most prudent attitude, and you will never make the right decision on impulse," Xiao Zifeng was obviously a little angry, but he was still patiently persuading Zhou Yu, "You forgot, what did you work so hard to enter the national team back then? And you said that because you like badminton, you will persist until now." You make this kind of rash decision, unlike the Zhou Yu I know. ”

"I don't know Senior Brother anymore!" Zhou Yu didn't know what was wrong, his emotions were almost exploding today, "If someone else drove Lin Buckle, I can still understand it, but Senior Brother brought him out single-handedly, why did he ......?"

At this point, Zhou Yu wiped his tears: "I'm going to hang up the phone, anyway, I'll go back with Lin Koukou." In your hearts, Lin Koukou is probably dispensable, and now that he is injured, no one knows whether he can produce results, so he doesn't have to care at all. But to me, he is not only a partner, but also a best friend, just like Xixi. I can't look at him, just one person slips away, and we advance and retreat together!"

Having said that, Zhou Yu didn't hesitate, and really hung up the phone.
