A few innocuous words of bickering, resting on strangers are called quarrels, but when they happen to couples, they are called erotic.

I and the big iceberg you and I lost a few words of mutual loss, and the first little bit of spark finally disappeared under the repeated blessings of the big iceberg.

In the evening, everyone chose to rest early, because the long-awaited company badminton competition finally kicked off.

The tournament lasted for 2 days, with 16 teams divided into 4 groups by draw. On the first day, 4 groups will play the group stage at the same time, and the team that ranks first in the group advances, and the rest of the teams are eliminated. On the second day, the winners of the 4 groups will be drawn again for the knockout round, and the top two teams will receive additional year-end bonuses from the company.

According to the competition system, each team needs to play three fierce games on the first day, and the winning team will continue to compete for two games on the second day. Such an intensive competition is undoubtedly the biggest test of the players' skills and physical strength.

The annual badminton competition is undoubtedly a major event of the company, especially this year, as the company's party A, the winning couple personally attended the game, which all declared that this year's competition has been valued by the company's senior management, which makes all the participating teams boiling, everyone is gearing up and eager to try.

Mr. Sheng gave a short but impassioned opening speech, and the big iceberg officially announced the start of the competition.

Under the supervision of a professional notary, the referee team will draw lots on the spot. Wintao and I were placed in Group 1, while Big Iceberg and Star were placed in Group 4, known as the Death Group.

Why is Group 4 called the "Group of Death"? Could it be that the four teams in Group 4 are exceptionally strong?

"Xiao Yan, if you play today, you should be more flexible, don't ask such a mentally retarded question, okay!" Zhuzhu looked at me with disdain, very worried about my next results.

"Xiao Yan, what you say about today's game is also related to the year-end bonus of our secretariat, you must hold on!" Shi Shi was also worried, but he was embarrassed to say something that made me discouraged, so he had to cheer up.

Me: "......" Did I say something wrong? Isn't that what the death squad meant?

In the end, it was naturally the most empathetic Yiyi who solved my doubts, she patted me on the shoulder, her eyes flashed with dazzling light, and explained: "Xiaoyan, only the first place in each group can be promoted, Mr. Ye and Xingxing were divided into the 4th group, presumably no one in the company dares to win Mr. Ye's ball, what do you think is the other three teams that are in a group with Mr. Ye, not stepping into the group of death?"

I see!

"Isn't this a clear use of power to oppress people?" I muttered in a low voice, the reason is easy to understand, but the truth is not so easy for people to accept.

"Not really. Yiyi's gentle voice sounded again: "Mr. Ye's ball skills are good, even if the other three teams have the heart to fight, they may not have the strength to win against Mr. Ye." ”

That's just as well!

"Xiao Yan, don't worry about Mr. Ye, his share of the bonus will definitely not be able to run!" Zhu Zhu gently pulled my hand, pointed to the figure not far in front of him and said, "Minister Wen is waiting for you to come over, you can discuss tactics!"

At this time, three meters away from us, there was indeed a tall figure. He was wearing a navy blue shirt and white shorts like me, with a warm smile between his eyebrows and a confident look on his face.

Seeing my gaze towards him, he gracefully raised the racket in his right hand and pointed slightly towards the racket with his left hand.

This is the habit of the two of us on campus.

He was asking me: Xiaoyan, are you ready?

……

The schedule is tight, there are no extra links, and the game starts directly.

Wen Tao and I have been placed in Group 1 and will face the remaining three teams from Group 1 today, with three matches in the morning, afternoon and evening.

I glanced at it briefly, and there were no other familiar faces in Group 1 except Wen Tao. That's fine, so you won't be embarrassed when you hurt the killer in the game later.

With a whistle, all four sets of matches began at the same time. For a while, 8 group matches were held in the badminton stadium at the same time, because it was about the year-end bonus, so the audience's enthusiasm for cheering was unprecedentedly high, and every competition court was surrounded by heavy sieges, and the scene was quite lively.

Xu felt that there was no suspense in the game between the big iceberg and the stars, so everyone in the secretary department was crowded on the side of the game between me and Wen Tao, their eyes flashed with excitement, and they couldn't stop shouting and cheering for us.

Wen Tao and I faced the first group of opponents from the Engineering Department and Zhang Forest from the Materials Department.

That's right, just by looking at their names, it's not hard to see that they are a men's doubles team of two men.

In the company's annual badminton competition, each department sends at least one staff member to participate, male or female. In the end, according to the number of applicants, the lottery was directly grouped, so the teams participating in the competition today have two men, two women, one man and one woman.

This arrangement, although not too fair from the perspective of strength, also invisibly adds to the entertainment of the game. They are all employees of the same company, and the rules of the competition have been carried over the years, so no one has criticized them.

It was probably unfortunate to meet two men's teams in the first game.

The competition has not officially started, the athletes are in full swing to warm up, and I am secretly looking at the opponents in the first round today. Wang Qiang is about 40 years old, his figure is slightly fat, and he looks quite strong as his name suggests. And Zhang Linlin, who was standing beside him, was obviously much younger, with a slender figure, and he looked a little weak.

It seems that we may not have a chance to fight! I thought to myself.

Who doesn't want to come out on top in such an important event?

With a crisp whistle, our game officially began.

Wen Tao was still as gentle and gentle as ever, and I was indeed in good spirits and concentrated in meeting the enemy.

The opening situation was the same as I had hoped, and Wen Tao and I had the absolute advantage.

Wintao volleyed hard and scored.

I'm light net tune, scoring.

Wen Tao chased the ball and scored.

I picked up the leaks and scored.

But a quarter of an hour's effort, 21 to 4, we easily won the first game!

Oh my God, will this victory be too easy?

"Xiao Yan, you guys are amazing!" After a break between time, Zhu Zhu immediately handed me water and a towel, and couldn't stop praising him: "The other groups are in a stalemate at the moment, and you have actually won the first game, which is really fast!"

"But no, Xiao Yan and Minister Wen have been training hard these days, and it seems that today they really have a tacit understanding!" Shi Shi couldn't help but come forward and nodded in admiration.

"Xiao Yan, the second game is about to start, you can't be careless about the enemy!" Yiyi was also full of joy, but in the end she had more worries, and reminded her tactfully.

"Yiyi is right, the easy win in the first game is probably more dependent on our tacit cooperation. Now that the other party is gradually getting acquainted, I am afraid that I can't be so relaxed in the second game. Wen Tao hung the towel diagonally on his shoulder, his face flushed with a natural flush after a slight exercise, and at this moment he also joined the discussion army, and said solemnly: "You may not know them, but I know that the tall and thin man is called Zhang Linlin, but he is a stubborn temper who does not admit defeat." He likes to do things more seriously, and if he sees the right things, he will hit the black, and everyone likes to call him 'Zhang Bang Mallet' in private!"

After just a few words, the second game began.

I don't know if it was affected by Wen Tao's words just now, but I always felt that the offensive of the two people on the opposite side suddenly became sharper.

As usual, I sent out a high throw, Comrade Zhang Stick Hammer jumped high, smashed vigorously, and scored directly!

On the other side, Wang Qiang made a light adjustment, Wen Tao easily blocked back, Comrade Zhang Bangmao took a step forward with his right foot, fiercely pumped flat, the speed was too fast, I didn't have time to react, and I scored another point!

Zhang Bang's wrist trembled, buckled in front of the net, scored!

In front of the net with a mallet, we can't rescue it, score!

Score, score, score!

As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Feng Shui is probably in turn, there is no suspense in the second game, 5 to 21, Wen Tao and I lost miserably.

"Xiao Yan, you just ...... Is it the mercy of his subordinates?" Looking at the score of the second game, Zhuzhu couldn't believe her eyes and stammered.

yes, who can believe it?

Dozens of minutes ago, a group of us were full of confidence that today's first game would end early, but now, it is still a one-sided slaughter like a storm, but it is no longer us who wins.

"Zhuzhu, what do you say!" Shi Shi saw that I was frustrated, and hurriedly interrupted Zhuzhu, turned his head and smiled at me: "Xiao Yan, don't be discouraged, the third game will definitely turn things around!"

Me: "......"

It's so easy to say!

"Minister Wen, I finally understand why everyone calls him 'Zhang Banggavel'. This time, Yiyi didn't follow suit, and said with a worried face: "This 'Zhang Bang Mallet' doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all, he seems to regard Xiaoyan as a breakthrough, and the balls are greeted in the direction of Xiaoyan!"

"Who's to say it's not!" Wen Tao smiled bitterly and frowned slightly.

What does this mean, Zhang Bang mallet is using me as a breakthrough......?

"Yiyi, how can you say that, how can Xiao Yan be the weakness of the team?" Zhu Zhu said bluntly trying to maintain my almost non-existent face.

Me: "......"

Why do I feel more pain in my heart?

The weakness of the team, I have become the weakness of the team, and the breakthrough point for the opponent to wantonly kill us, which makes me, who has always boasted that my football skills are not weak, how can I be embarrassed?

"Little rock. When the atmosphere fell into a subtle silence, Wen Tao's warm voice broke the silence of the moment, he walked up to me and stood still, and asked seriously, "Xiao Yan, do you still want to win this game?"

"Of course I want to win!" I replied quickly, my eyes fixed on Wen Tao. Yes, he's Wen Tao, he's the Wen Tao who can help me solve all my problems!

I was able to, and I can now!

"Xiao Yan, do you remember how we won the challenge gold cup back then?" Wen Tao looked at me gently, his eyes were facing each other, his eyes were like a deep pool, making people unconsciously fall into it, as if the noise in the field no longer existed, there was only him in front of me, and there was only me in his eyes.

Remember, I naturally remember!

The memories with Wen Tao, bit by bit, I have never forgotten, I can't forget.

At the beginning, I was ignorant and young, thinking that a sweet word would represent the longevity of the earth, and every minute and second of getting along with him, I would go back and forth in my heart to carefully reminisce, wanting to remember the beauty of the time, and wanting my life to be frozen in that moment of happiness.

However, the cruelty of reality came unexpectedly, and a fluttering word of sorry wiped out all my fantasies about a better life in the future when I was a girl.

He left without looking back, ruthlessly disappearing into my world. And those memories that I have repeatedly recalled are firmly engraved in my mind and linger.
