Chapter 4: Talent

The sun had already sunk in the west, and the coolness of the night was gradually rising.

After the celebration dinner, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, but it was too early to fall asleep in the city.

An Mengyu was even more excited, chattering along the way, in order to go home later, she refused to take the car, and insisted that An Jie accompany her to walk back. Her feet were already much better after the cold compress, and one arm was on Gu Shunxi's body, but it was okay, the three of them walked slowly along the road.

"You're so good, you run so fast, you know, I practice running every day, but I'm still not as fast as you. ”

Such a straightforward compliment made Gu Shunxi shake his head a little shyly.

"Running fast is nothing. ”

"It's nothing, you don't know how much I like running, but the coach said that I have no talent, even if I train again, my performance will not improve much, and my parents don't want me to practice running for a long time. With the injury this time, I'm afraid I'll never get a chance to stand on the field. ”

Although the other party said these words in a joking tone, Gu Shunxi was still keenly aware of the sadness in it, An Mengyu was shrouded in a sense of loss that did not match his age, and he didn't speak out again for a long time.

Gu Shunxi is really not good at comforting others, and in a daze, she handed An Jie a look for help, but the other party didn't seem to have the slightest sense of identity with this kind of little girl's forcible sorrow, and after listening to her niece's words, she nodded quite approvingly.

"It's true that none of our family have much athletic talent. ”

Seeing that the corners of An Mengyu's mouth were declining again, Gu Shunxi forcibly changed the topic.

"Don't be sad, your palmistry is very good, your career line is especially good, if you really have any wishes, you will also come true. ”

As he spoke, Gu Shunxi stretched out his right hand and pointed at An Mengyu one by one, his index finger lightly crossed his palm, and An Mengyu giggled because of the tingling and itchy feeling.

"You are such a little antique, can it be said that human life is predestined by God. ”

To her surprise, Gu Shunxi nodded quite seriously.

"Phoenix... Someone told me that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and sons born to mice make holes. ”

"Shun Xi. ”

An Jie turned her head to look at Gu Shunxi, and interrupted her with a solemn expression.

"Where do these threads grow?"

Gu Shunxi was a little confused, and subconsciously replied.

"In my hand. ”

Hearing her answer, An Jie smiled with satisfaction.

"Yes, in your hands. Everyone's fate is in their own hands, don't say anything about God's destiny, your fate is determined by yourself. Although you have been reluctant to say it these days, I can guess a little, no matter what difficulties you encounter, no matter what happens, you must not lose faith. Shunxi, you can stay with me in peace, there will always be a solution to things. If you want, I can too..."

"Nope. ”

Before An Jie's words were finished, she was categorically interrupted by Gu Shunxi, and the expression on her face could be said to be terrifyingly serious.

"Don't help me, you'll be entangled by them, like a bloodsucking worm, and won't stop for the rest of your life until they die. ”

As if he was afraid that he would regret it, Gu Shunxi quickly spit out this long list of words, breathed a sigh of relief, and said word by word: "Teacher An, this is none of your business. ”

Gu Shunxi couldn't understand herself anymore, An Jie said what she wanted to hear the most, but when it came to the moment, she couldn't bear it anymore.

If you fall into a dung pit, do you want to drag others into the water? What's more, this person is a rare good person, and what is even more valuable is that she can be good to herself without expecting anything in return.

I can't do it, and I can't bear to do it.

Looking at the black hair on the top of the girl's head, An Jie felt infinite emotion in her heart, this child is sensible and distressing.

Although I didn't quite understand what they were talking about, seeing that the atmosphere was slipping into an uncomfortable area, An Mengyu forcibly interrupted.

"Don't just talk about me, Shunxi, what about you, do you have a dream?"

Gu Shunxi lowered his head, was silent for a moment, then raised his head again, looked up at the sky, and his eyes were full of bright stars. The night wind blew, making her voice a little erratic, and the girl's soft voice quickly dissipated into the wind.

"Yes, but it's too far away, farther than the stars in the sky. ”

*******

The spring sun outside the window was still a little lazy, and there was a slight breeze outside, Wang Mingli leaned over and looked at the clock in the living room, thinking that her husband was almost time to come back, and just thinking about it, there was a sound of the door lock turning outside. He Haocheng took off his shoes, hung up his coat, and walked to the kitchen.

"I'm back. ”

Wang Mingli responded, He Haocheng helped her bring the food to the table, shouted twice to eat, and didn't see He Luo come out.

Pushing open the door, I saw He Luo facing the computer screen, with his back to him, not knowing what he was busy with.

"Come out and eat. ”

He Luo agreed, but he didn't even bother to reply: "It's nothing, let me help edit some of the video materials of Bushan's participation in the sports meeting." Dad, don't rush, I'll delete this point and go to dinner. ”

As he spoke, he sped up the movements in his hand, and a two- or three-second picture suddenly caught He Haocheng's attention.

"Wait, you fall backwards. ”

He Luo glanced at his mouth, and obediently rewinded the video back a few points, and what was displayed on the screen was the picture of the junior high school women's 400-meter relay final, He Luo stretched out his hand and clicked the play button, and the still picture also moved, and in the next second, all his attention was immediately attracted by the small figure running on the screen. Almost subconsciously, he silently pinched the seconds in his heart, and the result made He Haocheng doubt his proud pinching skills for the first time, until the whole video ended, he was still a little stunned and stared at the computer screen, muttering to himself: "The starting speed is fast, the middle stage accelerates, and the final explosiveness is quite good, this kid looks like he is eleven or twelve years old, if he is in ......"

"Dad?... Dad!"

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"I'm just about to ask what's wrong with you?"

He Haocheng got up and walked around the room twice, as if he didn't hear his son's words at all, paced slowly in the room, and after two or three minutes, he came back to his senses, his eyes were bright, he rushed over and rubbed He Luo's head, turned his head and asked, "Do you know this child?"

"Which one?"

He Haocheng pointed at Gu Shunxi, He Luo approached the computer screen, and shook his head after carefully identifying it for a long time.

"I don't know, besides, a primary and secondary school student, can I know him? Ask me, it's better to ask Shanshan, this is their classmate. ”

"Can you zoom in and make it a little clearer?"

"Dad, this is a handheld DV, what kind of professional equipment do you think the old man thinks? If you don't know, you can give more sponsorship. ”

He Haocheng didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he watched the video again, this time, he took out the stopwatch in his arms and memorized the time from Gu Shunxi to hitting the line.

13.5 seconds.

This time, not to mention He Haocheng, even He Luo was surprised.

"This little girl is amazing, watching her sprint to the line at the end, it's really amazing. ”

"Who did you say might know this kid?"

"He Bushan, your niece. ”

He Haocheng slapped He Luo's back with a palm: "Don't give me a poor mouth, go and call." ”

"Dad, it's noon, people are eating, and I'm calling, it's not appropriate. He Luo muttered quietly, a little reluctantly.

"If you want to go, you'll go, so many words?"

He Luo pursed his lips, but he still ran to make a call, after a few twists and turns, after making the third call, he finally completed the task and asked for An Jie's contact information.

****

Early in the morning, Gu Shunxi was taken by An Jie to a stadium near the community.

Today's An Jie seemed to be different from usual, looking a little nervous, and there was a middle-aged man standing next to her, with neatly trimmed hair and a pair of frameless transparent glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking very Sven. The man put his hands in his trouser pockets, his face was calm, and he couldn't see a clue.

An Jiechong, who had changed her shoes, smiled slightly, and said, "Shunxi, run again." ”

Gu Shunxi didn't know what to do, but he still obediently listened to her arrangement, walked onto the track, stood by the white line, made a starting posture, and waited for the start instructions.

Gu Shunxi didn't know what starting posture or skills she had, but after hearing the order, she ran 100 meters and ran another 800 meters. When she was about to continue running, she heard An Jie shouting at herself, waved her hand, and motioned for her to come back.

Gu Shunxi's face turned red, he opened his mouth to take a few breaths, and slowly walked back.

In the subsequent physical fitness test, she also performed exceptionally well, with amazing muscle strength and flexibility, and the most rare thing is that she has good explosiveness.

An Jie secretly glanced at it a few times with her peripheral vision, the expression on the face of the man next to her was still very calm, and she sighed in her heart, is it still not good?

He Haocheng was not as calm as he appeared, and his hands hidden in his pockets were already clenched excitedly.

In his more than 10 years as an athlete and 20 years as a coach, Ho has seen countless talented athletes, including children in their sevens and eights, teenagers and adults in their twenties. Years of experience have taught him that no matter how diligent some people are, their congenital conditions are destined to fail to stand on the top stage. But there are people, even if it's just for a minute, you will know that it doesn't take a few years for him to work miracles.

Such a talent is hard to come by, he has never seen a few when he lives to be almost forty years old, and now God is really willing to throw pies down, and he sent one directly to him.

The little girl in front of her, at the age of thirteen, is already more than one meter six tall, and in the case of perennial malnutrition, this height is already very surprising. The physical condition is excellent, the proportions are good, perhaps because he has not received professional training, this child is now not very smooth to start, accelerate, and decelerate. But in Ho's eyes, all technology-related issues are not a problem.

He was extremely sure that Gu Shunxi had an amazing talent for sprinting, a piece of unpolished jade, and she had a treasure that no one had ever realized about it.

Not even herself, to be exact.

This is a talent that is too rare, and because it is so rare, He Haocheng's previous plans are all gone, and he has to slowly and carefully sum it up from the beginning.

After the test run, he asked An Jie to talk in a teahouse.

After sending Gu Shunxi home, An Jie left with He Haocheng.

Gu Shunxi was the only one left in the house, and less than thirty minutes had passed, the doorbell rang, and because the cat's eye was broken, she could only open a little narrow crack in the door and look out.

Only then did I find out that the person who rang the doorbell was no stranger, it was Xiao Yu, Anjie's ex-boyfriend.

More precisely, a difficult ex-boyfriend.

An Jie gave her an order that Xiao Yu would never be allowed to enter the house, and Gu Shunxi naturally guarded the door and did not let Xiao Yu take any further steps. The girl closed the door mercilessly, but was stuck by the man's foot, he held the door with one hand, bent down slightly, the impatience in his eyes was almost overflowing, and asked in a low voice, "How long do you want to stay here?"
