In the middle of the night, there was a muffled thunder, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and it was going to rain heavily.

Su Qingzhi was lying on the bed, her forehead was full of beads of sweat, and her head kept shaking. There was another thunderclap, and she sat up from the bed suddenly, staring at the opposite wall in a daze, panting, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

She had nightmares again, and she didn't know how many times. In the dream, she was barefoot, standing in front of a badly deformed car. With no one around, she tried to pull the people trapped in the car out, but she couldn't do anything.

No matter how much she shouted, she didn't get the slightest response. In the car were her parents, but there were no signs of life and there would be no more response.

A flash of lightning swept through it, and torrential rain poured down. The lightning streaked through the gap, and the room lit up for a moment.

She pulled her legs back to her chest and grabbed her hair with both hands, looking in pain. She cried uncontrollably, and she was afraid that the cry would be alarming. Fortunately, there was also the sound of rain and thunder to cover her.

In the drawer to the left of the desk was a key that had not been touched in years. At this time, Su Qingzhi took the key and stood outside the room on the second floor that had been locked.

The hand was raised in mid-air, and then put it down again in a moment. This action was repeated several times. Finally, the key was inserted into the lock, the doorknob was twisted, and the room, which had been sealed in the dust for several years, was pushed open again.

Press the switch on the wall, and two of the bulbs of the warm yellow chandelier are no longer lit. The furnishings in the room are still the same as before, and they have not been moved at all. After the accident, she was reluctant to enter this room, and later locked it directly.

There are also wedding photos of my parents hanging on the wall, and on the dresser, there are photos of a family of three in the past, which is so happy and warm.

She couldn't help but tremble as she looked at this, and a string of tears fell silently down her cheeks, and she couldn't stop it.

Mom and Dad's pajamas are still neatly placed next to the bed. Su Qingzhi walked to the side of the bed and sat on the ground, her fingers gently stroking the pajamas, as if she could still feel the residual warmth.

"Xiaozhi, today my father is resting and has decided to show his hand. What do you want to eat? Daddy will make it for you. ”

"Really? Dad, I want to eat crabs. ”

"Big crab stir-fried with ginger and shallots. ”

"Yes, I want to eat it, can I?"

"Of course you can, very much, Dad will buy it now, wait!"

"Thank you, Dad!"

......

"Mom, I'm back. ”

"Xiaozhi is back, put away the schoolbag, and we can eat later. ”

"Mom, I feel so tired! I want to cry now!"

"What's wrong? Did you encounter anything at school? Tell your mom. ”

"No, I just suddenly feel so tired and tired, and I want to cry. I'm afraid that I will lose the chain at a critical moment and I won't be able to get into a good university, what should I do?"

"Although the third year of high school is heavy with coursework, you don't have to feel pressure, and your parents don't have to ask you to get into any university. You have to remember that we do everything we can to the best of our ability, and we are already great people, no matter what the outcome. ”

......

Su Qingzhi hugged her pajamas tightly, leaned on the side of the bed and cried suppressed. When I cried until I couldn't breathe, I lay directly on the cold wooden floor.

The rain outside the window was still falling recklessly, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and another loud bang.

Zhong Yuheng was woken up by this thunder, he turned over and found a light under the crack of the door. He lit up the phone screen at the bedside, 3:28. Thinking to myself that it's so late, haven't the little short legs slept yet?

When he came to the door, he found it open, but inside it was pitch black. The light came out from another room, wasn't that room locked all the time?

"Little short legs?" Zhong Yuheng looked through the crack in the door and found a person curled up on the floor.

Su Qingzhi wiped away the large tears on her face indiscriminately, and then sat up from the floor. Zhong Yuheng pushed open the door, walked to her side and squatted down.

I thought I could control it well, but I was still trying to squeeze out a smile. However, Su Qingzhi found that she couldn't do it, and her mouth pursed even more aggrieved.

Zhong Yuheng can't see it the most, is the way she cries. As soon as she cried, his heart was about to clench.

He took her into his arms and comforted, "It's okay." ”

People, when they are very wronged, they can't listen to comforting words the most. Because in that case, the defense line that has been built up so hard will collapse in an instant.

Su Qingzhi first whimpered in his arms, and then directly cried loudly: "Long legs, I really miss them!"

Zhong Yuheng let her cry loudly, and just gently patted her back with his hand. In the room, the sound of rain mixed with crying made people feel inexplicably distressed.

I don't know how long I cried, Zhong Yuheng has maintained a half-squatting posture. Gradually, the cry in his arms became quieter and became a sobbing sound.

"Finished crying?"

"Hmm. ”

The man in his arms let go of his eyes and nodded mechanically.

Zhong Yuheng got up, put her on the side of the bed with both hands, and stood up straight.

"Su Qingzhi ..."

The person next to the bed was slightly stunned, as if this was the first time he had called his full name. She sniffed and looked up at him, "Huh?"

"I know when you were unhappy in the past, you always wanted to close the door and digest it yourself. But from this moment on, I want you to tell me when you feel hard or unhappy. Don't hide and cry by yourself anymore, okay?"

Su Qingzhi's eyes that had just finished crying were full of tears at this moment. She burst into tears and nodded. Zhong Yuheng reached out to help her wipe away her tears, and her eyes were full of pity.

She laid out her pajamas neatly beside the bed, got up and put her arms around his waist, resting her head on his chest, and vaguely heard his heartbeat.

"Still uncomfortable?"

Su Qingzhi shook her head: "I just had a nightmare... You say, if I hadn't gone to see the prairie at that time, wouldn't that accident have happened? ”

Zhong Yuheng looked at the wedding photos on the wall, is this the first time she has seen her parents?

The corners of his mouth opened slightly: "This assumption seems meaningless at the moment. However, you have to know that what you have lost will come back to you in another way. ”

I am always very tired after crying, and the reason seems to be caused by the lack of oxygen to the brain. Su Qing knew that she was very sleepy now, she rubbed her eyes, and her eyelids began to heavily.

"Sleepy?"

"Hmm..."

"Go back to your room and sleep!" Zhong Yuheng looked down at her bare feet, and asked, "Where are your shoes?"

"I forgot to wear it. ”

“......”

Zhong Yuheng picked her up and returned to her room. Carefully put her on the bed, and helped her tuck the quilt away.

"It's about to dawn, hurry up and go to sleep!"

Su Qingzhi was already very sleepy, she snorted in her mouth, and soon fell asleep.

Zhong Yuheng straightened the hair on her forehead: "It's like a little girl." ”

The rain outside the window is dripping, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't know what the weather will be?

Rumi once said: Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

(Don't be sad.) Anything you lose will come back in another form. ）

Chinese New Year's Eve arrived as scheduled, the streets were deserted, few people were missing, few cars were missing, and the taste of the New Year in the city was never as lively as in the countryside. In the dormitory group, several girls chatted without a stubble. Whoever is free will come out and have a chat.

Zhong Yuheng went home yesterday afternoon, and in his more than ten years of sports career, he has not returned home for the New Year for seven or eight years.

After Su Qingzhi had lunch, she was busy in the study downstairs. In the morning, I was still yelling about the holidays, and at noon I received a few emails and two phone calls, all from the magazine.

The project was about to start in the next year, but she wasn't prepared for it. The documents on her desk are all sorted out information on ethnic minorities and some local strategies, to say the least, hundreds of pages.

Suddenly, I don't know where the table came from the phone ringtone. Su Qingzhi rummaged under the A4, and finally found the mobile phone at the bottom.

Listening to the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, she pursed her lips and smiled, put down the pen and paper in her hand, and leaned lazily back in her chair.

Sunlight poured into the room, and the people in the room were happy.

In previous years, before making any decision, she would ask herself what it meant to herself. She is not interested in anything, and it seems that she chose photography just to escape from reality.

However, at this moment, she seemed to understand. Growing up is inherently a one-person thing

There's no need to live like a shipwreck, as if you can't wait for people to know how unfortunate you are.

Learn to like yourself first, and then like someone. And then keep everything you like with you, that's what hard work is all about.

......

Throughout the festival, Su Qingzhi nested in the study and buried himself in sorting out the materials. Since the death of her parents, these holidays have been no different than usual. My grandparents also went back in advance because of the countryside.

Today, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, without the supervision of her grandparents, Su Qingzhi worked directly from the first night to the second half of the night. By the time she noticed it, her waist was already a little paralyzed, and she almost fell to her knees when she got up.

In the morning, Su Qingzhi was still asleep. Suddenly a phone call woke her up, and she picked up the phone and snorted. In a matter of seconds, she was completely sleepy and bounced straight out of bed.

"What time is the plane?"

"There are still two and a half hours, it should be in time. ”

Su Qingzhi hung up the phone, found Jian Yao's number in the address book again, and dialed it.

"Brother Yao, take me to the airport!"

"Now!"

As soon as the phone was flicked, Su Qingzhi rushed into the bathroom. When she finished tidying up and washing, Jian Yao's car also arrived downstairs.

It was too late to say hello, so Su Qingzhi jumped into the car directly.

Jian Yao looked tired, and it was estimated that he didn't go back until dawn last night.

"What hearing did you just say?

The car is galloping on the airport expressway, and there are so many more cars on the road today than in previous days, but it still feels empty.

"Didn't he be accused of using illegal drugs and his results were invalidated when he was in the Olympics? They later refused to accept this result and appealed directly and held a hearing. Now the time for the hearing is down, next Tuesday, in Switzerland. ”

"When you can't open it, you have to open it at festivals. ”

"It's only the Spring Festival there!"

"That's right, but athletes have their own courts, which sounds pretty cool. So in this hearing, does Senior Zhong have a big chance of winning?"

"I don't know, now people on the Internet are slamming him. I only hope that this hearing will have a good outcome. ”

"Don't worry too much, there will be a good outcome. ”

"Hmm. ”

The car drove all the way into the airport parking lot, Jian Yao didn't plan to get out of the car, and was ready to squint in the car for a while. Su Qing didn't care so much, jumped out of the car and trotted all the way to the waiting hall.

It was getting closer and closer to the boarding time, and Su Qingzhi was still looking around in the waiting hall. There are not many people at the airport today, but the airport is too big.

She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and suddenly a voice came from behind her: "Little short legs, I'm here." ”

As soon as Su Qingzhi turned around, the person was in front of her, and she instantly burst into laughter.

"I said I wouldn't let you come. Zhong Yuheng gently stroked the messy hair on her forehead, and her eyes showed a tenderness.

Su Qingzhi looked around: "Are you going to Switzerland alone?"

"They'll meet me in Switzerland, don't worry. ”

"That's good..."

In fact, Su Qingzhi thought of all kinds of comforting words before coming. But at this moment, she couldn't say a word.

Maybe it was because he saw it, Zhong Yuheng smiled lightly and touched her head: "I'm fine, just believe me." ”

Su Qingzhi nodded mechanically, this is the first time she has shown dependence in the past few years, Zhong Yuheng is happy in her heart.

The airport radio went off and it was time to board the plane.

Zhong Yuheng gently hugged her into his arms: "Okay! Little short legs, I'm leaving." You're good, wait for me to come back. ”

Su Qingzhi rubbed it in his arms and said "um". Then he raised his head and blinked: "You'll be fine!"

......

The flight to Switzerland takes 30 hours with two stopovers in between.

Zhong Yuheng didn't have much rest all the way, and when the plane landed, it was already evening in Switzerland, and he was also tired.

Du Jianguo and Xie Fan were already waiting at the airport, and the three of them went to the booked hotel first. Along the way, it was very quiet, everyone's hearts were uncertain, and no one knew how to fight this battle the day after tomorrow.

However, the arrow is ready to be sent.

In the evening, defense lawyer lawyer Chen came to the hotel where they were staying. Four big men were in the room, discussing the hearing the day after tomorrow.

Mr. Chen's legal team has a top-notch business level in China, and its strength is very strong, and it has helped several big-name celebrities fight lawsuits in the past few years, and none of them have lost.

Zhong Yuheng found Lawyer Chen, and also showed his determination, this battle can only be successful!

"Lawyer Chen, is the situation favorable to us now?" Du Jianguo took the lead in asking.

Lawyer Chen rubbed his hands, and then patted it: "Let me ask Mr. Zhong Yuheng a question first. On the day of the competition, who did you give the water and drinks distributed by the organizing committee to keep them?"

Although Zhong Yuheng didn't understand why the lawyer asked this, he still recalled the situation that day very seriously.

"There were several people who took my water bottle that day, and the coaches and players of the coaching staff all took my water bottle, is there anything wrong with that?"

"yes, you don't suspect it's your own, do you? I seem to have kept the water cup for him that day. Xie Fan also said.

"In the course of our forensics, we found that there was no problem with the water itself. Of all the test results, only the bottle of water you drank that day was problematic. Then I have reason to suspect that the water was added to these illegal drugs by someone during the handover and storage process. ”

"Is there evidence to back it up?" Zhong Yuheng asked with a frown.

Lawyer Chen took out the tablet, clicked it casually, and handed it to Zhong Yuheng.

"This is a small video taken privately by a German athlete before the competition that day, because the athlete likes to post some updates about himself on the field in private, so I had the mentality of giving it a try, rummaged through his personal account, and found this five-minute video. ”

Xie Fan and Du Jianguo both walked to his side, Xie Fan looked at the video: "I have an impression of this, I remember that several of us were also pulled into the mirror at that time." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhong Yuheng, who nodded slightly to confirm his words.

"Yes, this video almost filmed all the contestants that day, and Mr. Zhong Yuheng and Mr. Xie Fan appeared in about three minutes and forty-eight seconds. ”

"What does that mean?" Xie Fan asked puzzled.

"Watch the video and you'll see it clearly. Mr. Chen was extraordinarily calm throughout the whole process.

The atmosphere of the whole video is very cheerful, everyone is talking and laughing, and the video shooter has been shuttling between athletes from various countries. Soon, it was time for Zhong Yuheng and Xie Fan's shots. Everything seems so normal, nothing seems to be wrong.

Xie Fan and Du Jianguo looked at the defense lawyer in confusion, while Zhong Yuheng's face froze and watched this clip again and again.

The corners of Mr. Chen's mouth lit up: "Three minutes and fifty-five seconds is the crux of the matter." ”

Xie Fan took the tablet again, adjusted the video to three minutes and fifty seconds, and pressed the play button. Soon, I also saw what the problem was.

In the lower right corner of the screen, you can take a picture of the corner of the rest area of the Chinese team. In the video, a hand is adding something to a bottle of water. And this bottle of water is the bottle of water that Zhong Yuheng drank that day.

Xie Fan took a deep breath and looked at everyone incredulously. Du Jianguo suddenly changed color, and got up angrily from the sofa: "This problem actually appeared in my own person, I have led the team for so many years, and my old face has been lost! Lawyer Chen, can you find out who this person is?"

"I called up the surveillance in the stadium that day, and I couldn't know who this person was due to the angle. But one thing is certain, it was his own hands. Lawyer Chen said lightly.

Du Jianguo scolded twice, and paced back and forth in the room angrily.

Zhong Yuheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, he raised his head and chuckled: "Lawyer Chen, what do you think now?"

Lawyer Chen sat up straight and said calmly: "I have submitted this video, and it also confirms the authenticity of the video. It's not clear who this person is, but it's enough to get you off the charge of using illegal drugs. So, you can rest assured that there is still a chance that this battle will be won. ”

If the allegations of illegal drug use are confirmed, Chung could face a four- to six-year ban. For now, the appearance of this video is undoubtedly good news for them. Because this can confirm that Zhong Yuheng did take illegal drugs under unknown circumstances.

The hearing, which was originally held in the morning, was held in the morning of Swiss time. But yesterday, Zhong Yuheng's legal team filed a complaint with the CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) to request a public hearing. CAS also accepted the request, and the incident further fermented on the Internet.

At 8:15 a.m. Swiss time, the hearing was announced...

At the same time, the German also found a problem in the video he shot. He cropped out the video and posted it on social platforms, causing an uproar, and the contestant also publicly supported Zhong Yuheng.

As a result, social platforms at home and abroad set off a heated discussion, and the comments were no longer so angry, and gradually fell to the side, and they all began to complain about Zhong Yuheng.

The hearing will be held in an orderly manner, and at 9:35 a.m., the appellant will present his witness statement. The adjournment will be from 11.30 to 13.30 p.m., and the first part of the adjournment will be the giving of WADA's witnesses.

At around 16 p.m., the two sides entered the closing case and argumentation procedures. At 19 o'clock in the evening, Zhong Yuheng finished his final speech, and here is the last part of the hearing.

After deliberations by the arbitration panel, the CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) immediately announced the award.

Zhong Yuheng, win the lawsuit!

This news instantly swept the major social news software platforms in China, although the time in China is already early in the morning, but there are still many netizens who pay attention.

Su Qingzhi was the same, she followed the entire hearing and interrogation from the Internet, and the moment she heard the verdict, she jumped up from the sofa excitedly. The dormitory group also received various congratulatory messages, and Su Qingzhi couldn't relieve her excitement even after posting a few emojis.

This time, I opened Weibo, and the comments were all heartwarming/encouraging words, which was diametrically opposed to the previous comment area. Su Qingzhi cried when he brushed it, how much he had to endure in the middle. She burst into tears and laughed, at this moment he could finally tell the world that he did not violate his professional ethics and literacy, he was innocent!

Zhong Yuheng updated Weibo, it is a local photo in Switzerland, with his back in the photo, and the text is: The Swiss sky is beautiful, but I miss you.

In less than five minutes, 100,000 plus retweets and comments.

Netizen 1: "Wait, what's going on??"

Netizen 2: "This copywriting, there is a situation!"

Netizen 3: "It can't be a girlfriend, right?"

Netizen 4: "No... No, I don't believe it. ”

......

......

Two days later, Zhong Yuheng and his entourage returned to Beijing, and the Sword Association Center and the General Administration held a press conference together. At the press conference, Zhong Yuheng simply said what happened before and after, and did not mention any other irrelevant words. The reporter also prepared many questions, and Zhong Yuheng gave simple answers.

The responsible persons of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China and the Center of the Sword Association both said that the matter will be thoroughly investigated, and it will never be allowed to appear in such a sacred place to corrupt the bottom line of morality.

At the end of the press conference, a sports reporter asked a few questions about wanting to do an interview. Zhong Yuheng thought about refusing, but Du Jianguo helped him to accept it.

The reporter prepared some questions that did not match, and after asking a question about the incident at the beginning, the others were some questions about his private life, and he tossed him for more than half an hour before ending the interview.

"You're still on vacation, what are your plans?" Du Jianguo put his hands behind his back and stood side by side with Zhong Yuheng on the balcony of the corridor.

"Take a leave of absence, and then prepare for the National Games wholeheartedly. Zhong Yuheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and said lightly.

Du Jianguo showed a rare smile and quipped: "Listen to Xiaofan, are you in love?"

Zhong Yuheng didn't answer, just nodded. Seeing him so calm, Du Jianguo smiled faintly: "Stinky boy, come back immediately after the vacation!"

As he spoke, Du Jianguo patted him on the shoulder, turned around and left.

......
