Chapter 144: Our Lady and the White Lotus

"Senior sister, let me tell you something. Xing Xiaolong moved to Zhou Yu's side silently.

Zhou Yu came back to his senses and looked at Xing Xiaolong: "Say it!"

"I'm going to ...... Apply to leave the team. Xing Xiaolong's eyes flickered a little when he said this.

"Why!" Zhou Yu was taken aback and blurted out, "You've only been here for a few months, and you're leaving?"

Probably because Zhou Yu's voice was a little loud, which attracted many teammates to look at them.

Xing Xiaolong's face turned red, and he grabbed Zhou Yu's arm, and he was about to stutter: "Don't, don't, don't let people hear!"

"Is there something at home?" Zhou Yu lowered his voice.

Xing Xiaolong hurriedly replied: "It's okay at home, my parents' orchard is selling very well." ”

"Then don't think about it, it's not easy for us to get in. You must persevere, as long as no one rushes, you have to die here. Zhou Yu replied with a gg.

"I ...... Can't hold on. Xing Xiaolong's expression was a little depressed.

Zhou Yucai didn't believe it: "Don't fool me with words!"

Xing Xiaolong lowered his head and said no more.

After staring at Xing Xiaolong for a while, Zhou Yu seemed to understand a little.

After Zhou Yu and Xing Xiaolong partnered, they participated in several domestic and foreign competitions, basically hovering after the top ten. The boys are quite face-saving, probably because they feel that their faces are dull.

"Do you think that I can't do it, I can't get results, and I can't play happily with me?" Zhou Yu asked in a relaxed tone. Xing Xiaolong is completely different from the heartless Lin Koukou, this kid is very hard-working, but his mind is a little heavy.

Xing Xiaolong's head immediately shook into a rattle: "I never thought so, I learned a lot from my senior sister." It is...... I got into the second team, played a few games, lost a few games. Probably I'm not the material. ”

Zhou Yu looked at Xing Xiaolong, feeling very uncomfortable. Since their partnership, they have finished first in the team. It is an indisputable fact that the two failed to cooperate well.

"Go back and let the team help the senior sister choose a better partner," Xing Xiaolong was in the mood to help Zhou Yu think about the way back, "Actually, if you and Zhao Ziang really didn't fall out, just tell him that you two will partner again!"

"Just now, I used Zhao Ziang to chew my tongue and engage in it for a long time, are you probing my mouth?" Zhou Yu looked at Xing Xiaolong, couldn't help laughing for a while, and then sighed deliberately: "If you want to get rid of me, let's be honest, I am tired and panicked for you when you make excuses so hard!"

Xing Xiaolong grabbed his hair crampedly: "Senior sister, don't think about it. I'm only a few pounds and a few taels, how dare I dislike you. It's that my parents, relatives and friends at home have too high expectations for me, and they say everywhere in the village that I have entered the national team and am about to win the championship. I ended up playing so badly. If you lose again, you won't have the face to see Jiangdong's father. I thought about it and applied for injury and retirement. ”

"Can escaping solve the problem?" Zhou Yu suddenly turned his face and shouted at Xing Xiaolong, regardless of how stupid people were, he walked to the side and practiced by himself.

After the strength training in the morning half, Zhou Yu stepped out of the training hall to run 5,000 meters outside.

Xing Xiaolong came out earlier than Zhou Yu and was already running there.

On the edge of the track, Coach Lu was standing there with a stopwatch, observing Xing Xiaolong.

Noticing Zhou Yu coming, Coach Lu smiled and said, "Zhao Ziang won another gold." In this All England Championships, the results are quite satisfactory, except for the women's singles, the championship has been won. ”

"Who is the women's singles?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but be curious.

Coach Lu said: "Xue Yang of the Danish team, she is very strong now, and in just a few months, she has won two world championships. ”

Zhou Yu's eyes blinked. This time, it was Wen Jingyi who represented the Chinese team in the final. She still remembers that in the last national championships, Wen Jingyi beat Xue Yang lightly. Speaking of Wen Jingyi, it is also the best time to be in the best condition. It can be seen that Xue Yang's strength has improved rapidly.

"Go back and rest for a few days, take time to meet Mr. Xiao, and ask him how to carry out self-psychological counseling," Coach Lu patted Zhou Yu's head, "We can understand that you have been following your master since you were a child, and it is really reluctant for him to leave." However, the dead are gone. You have to learn to let go and not feel guilty all the time. There are so many things in this world that we really can't do anything about. ”

"I'm fine," Zhou Yu smiled, looked at Xing Xiaolong on the playground, and said to Coach Lu, "Can I tell you something?"

"Say it!" Coach Lu said happily.

Zhou Yu retracted his gaze and looked at Coach Lu: "I want to break up with Xing Xiaolong." ”

"Why?" Coach Lu was stunned, "I see that you two get along very well, and there is a conflict?"

Zhou Yu hurriedly shook his head: "I have a conflict with a child, I feel that I have delayed people." Xing Xiaolong still doesn't seem to be comfortable with mixed doubles, and now because of me, he can't get results, which affects his confidence. Can you get him back to a project he's familiar with, and he'll probably relax a bit. ”

Xing Xiaolong has been playing men's doubles before. The Men's Doubles is fast-paced, with fast transitions between attack and defence, paying attention to speed and power, and controlling the first three boards. Compared with men's doubles, the rhythm of mixed doubles will be a little more, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, not limited to the first three shots of ball control, mostly playing in the front court confrontation, and the control of the ball path and landing point is very high.

It's not that Xing Xiaolong can't do it, it's that his position is misplaced. This honest boy didn't dare to speak out because of his hardships, so he wanted to retreat, so he could only open his mouth by Zhou Yu.

"Do you really think so?" Coach Lu frowned, "What about you, what are you going to do later?"

Zhou Yu was also a little confused, and thought about it: "I don't know, let's see if anyone is willing to ride with me, it's really not good......"

"What do you mean by this, the team hasn't given up on you, you don't want to do it yourself. Coach Lu's face sank.

"I said something wrong," Zhou Yu hurriedly apologized, simply stepped forward and hugged Coach Lu's arm, and said with a smile: "Coach Lu, don't be angry, I really can't find a mixed doubles partner, I want to go back to women's doubles, the national team brand is so bright, I won't leave!"

"That's ...... I'm afraid I have to ask the team for instructions," Coach Lu smiled and looked at Zhou Yu: "The little girl is quite good at thinking for others, in fact, when Xing Xiaolong was put together with you, the team also hoped that his potential in doubles could be stimulated." Now it seems that this kid's offensive and defensive abilities are very good, and his stability is also good, but his mindset is too strong. If he can neutralize Lin Koukou, it will be perfect. ”

"By the way, isn't there still Lin Koukou, it's almost forgotten about him. Zhou Yu raised his head and laughed.

Coach Lu slapped Zhou Yu amusedly and urged, "Don't go running yet!"

Zhou Yu booked the high-speed rail ticket in the early morning. Afraid of waking up his teammates in the same room, Zhou Yu tiptoed up, went to the bathroom to freshen up, and when he was going out, it was not dawn.

In the waiting room of the South High-speed Railway Station, Zhou Yu looked at her watch, calculated the three-and-a-half-hour train, and when she arrived at Jincheng South Station, she took another Didi, about eleven o'clock, and she could get to Tianshouyuan.

Zhou Yu had already told the people in the management office over there yesterday that he would go through the procedures for renting the tomb today, and pay the balance by the way. In Tianshouyuan, she bought a cemetery for Guo Binghui, which was found by the omnipotent Shang Ke, and it was only one square meter of land, which emptied Zhou Yu's little savings. But for the sake of the master, Zhou Yu was not distressed.

Two days later is the Qingming Festival, which is why Zhou Yu wants to go back to Jincheng anyway.

Zhou Yu didn't tell anyone in Jincheng about the departure, she just wanted to be alone and do the last thing for the master.

Sitting alone on a chair in the waiting room, Zhou Yu picked up his mobile phone and watched the just-concluded All England Open Badminton Championships.

Zhao Ziang's performance is close to its peak. However, Zhou Yu looked at the problem from a different angle. She felt that Xiao Zifeng had a unique vision and pulled Zhao Ziang back when he was about to pick a son.

Of course, the team leader was also wise, and found that Zhao Ziang was also a mixed doubles, which pulled down his men's singles strength a lot, and immediately made a decision to separate her and Zhao Ziang.

Coach Lu has been for a long time, but he is afraid that Zhou Yu will not be able to figure it out. In fact, Zhou Yu really didn't have any ideas, but was glad that he didn't have to worry about Zhao Ziang anymore.

After Guo Binghui's death, Zhou Yu obviously felt that his state was declining. This decline is not only due to a few minor injuries on the field, but also due to psychological reasons. She has been suffering from insomnia for a long time, and the consequences of not being able to rest properly have seriously affected her training and competitions.

Now, Zhou Yu is a VIP guest at the National Team Athletes' Psychological Counseling Center.

Therefore, Zhou Yu must break up with Xing Xiaolong this time. You can't do it yourself, you can't rely on others. She's not the Virgin and the White Lotus, she just doesn't want people to poke her back in the back.

Guo Binghui's apprentice can't be so weak.

The mobile phone rang suddenly, interrupting Zhou Yu's thoughts.

Pressing the answer button, Zhou Yu said "hey".

"Why didn't you notify me if you want to come back?" Xiao Zifeng asked on the phone.

"Aren't you in London?" Zhou Yu muttered.

Xiao Zifeng, as an international referee, went to London to enforce the All England Open Badminton Championships, and Zhou Yu also saw him in the video. I can't help but say that my boyfriend is too handsome.

"I'll go back tomorrow," Xiao Zifeng smiled, and then asked, "Have you called your mother?"

Zhou Yu: "......"

After waiting for a while, probably seeing that Zhou Yu didn't answer, Xiao Zifeng persuaded: "Tell her, let her know about Uncle Bing's burial, and let her know that she can't be angry with her mother." ”

"Let's talk about it when we get there!" Zhou Yu replied.

"I heard Coach Lu say, you don't plan to partner with Xing Xiaolong anymore. Xiao Zifeng asked again.

Zhou Yu began to laugh at himself: "I have always understood that the Asian Youth Championship champion actually relied on Zhao Ziang to fight alone. Have you noticed that I am becoming more and more like Hui Yingning now, obviously entering the bottleneck period, I have to hold on there. ”

"That's how you evaluate yourself?" Xiao Zifeng asked rhetorically.

"Actually, I didn't hold it up, didn't I have to tear it down with Xing Xiaolong, it doesn't matter, I can go back to play women's doubles," Zhou Yu said this, on a whim, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, why don't I change the women's singles, don't worry about finding a partner, and save others from embarrassment." ”

"That's a good idea!" Xiao Zifeng actually took the move.

Zhou Yu chuckled, but he didn't expect Xiao Zifeng to take it seriously.

"I'm talking about playing," Zhou Yu said: "I'm this age, at most I can change to women's doubles, but it may not be successful." ”

"How old are you?" Xiao Zifeng reprimanded, "Come back!"

Listening to the "beep" sound on the phone, Zhou Yu felt that Xiao Zifeng was a little unhappy, was it because she mentioned her age?

Gu Zi laughed for a while, Zhou Yu reopened the mobile phone video, and casually clicked into the women's singles final between Xue Yang and Fang Jingyi.

The last time Zhou Yu saw Xue Yang, it was in the training hall of the second team. She came with the Danish youth team for an exchange. At that time, Xue Yang was still a lonely and unknown player, and even because he changed his nationality, he was looked down upon by his compatriots and neglected by his teammates. However, it has only been a long time before her brilliance has blossomed.

Zhou Yu also watched Xue Yang's interview and learned that she was an orphan who was raised by her grandmother since childhood. In the interview, Xue Yang said that the only reason why she insisted on joining a foreign team was that there were many domestic masters and the competition was too fierce, and she was eager to get the opportunity to participate in international competitions, hoping that her grandmother's efforts could be seen in her lifetime.

There is still a lot of criticism of Xue Yang in China, and Zhou Yu does not agree with her change of nationality. However, just because of Xue Yang's sentence - I want my grandmother to see her efforts in her lifetime, Zhou Yu really likes her.

Only when you have lost a loved one can you understand the weight of this sentence.

Guo Binghui left forever, without leaving a word for Zhou Yu, and finally didn't wait...... The day she won the World Championship.

Xiao Zifeng knew that Zhou Yu was coming back, and her whereabouts were naturally no longer a secret.

Walking out of the station, Zhou Yu saw Xi Xi unexpectedly.

"What kind of fame are you doing, don't say a word when you come back," Xi Xi said, stepped forward and hugged Zhou Yu, "I hate it, I don't go home for the New Year, and I haven't seen you win a world championship." ”

"Do you have to laugh at me like this?" Zhou Yu pouted.

"If I don't laugh at you, who else can laugh at you, send you home!" Xi Xi said, pulling Zhou Yu's suitcase.

Zhou Yu grabbed Xi Xi's hand: "Told my mother?"

On the evening of Guo Binghui's memorial service, Zhou Yu fled from Jincheng. It was only after getting in the car that she sent a text message to Qiao Fang, saying that she was going back. Then before the Chinese New Year, Zhou Yu made another phone call and made up a reason for being too busy, informing her that he had decided to stay in Beijing for the New Year. Other than that, the mother and daughter were never in touch.

After staring at Zhou Yu for a moment, Xi Xi nodded and said, "You can't hide from your mother for the rest of your life." ”

Zhou Yu avoided Xi Xi's gaze, shrugged his shoulders and said, "What, I just want to surprise her!"
