"Are you still not going to participate in this World Championships?"

In the evening, the rainbow glow reflects the red sky, and two figures stand on the platform outside the courtyard door, which is the top of the mountain, and you can see the whole mountain.

Holding on to the railing of the platform, Ting Hao shook his head and said:

"It's been a long time since I trained."

Eun-so looked sideways at him and asked:

"Is it possible to return to the ring?"

"Sometimes I feel like I'm getting farther and farther away from taekwondo," Ting Hao stared at the twilight in the distance, "and I have almost forgotten the feeling of the game." ”

"As long as you want to come back," Eun-so said, "you can come back no matter how far away you are." ”

Ting Hao smiled and changed the topic:

"Seung-ho is making rapid progress."

"Yesterday morning, you fought with him?"

"Hmm."

"Who won?" Eun-so was curious, "Is it you or him?" ”

Ting Hao didn't answer her, just said: "Shenghao is improving very quickly, if nothing else, the championship of this World Championships should belong to him." ”

"Or did you win?" Eun so smiled, "I saw Seung Ho yesterday at noon, and his face was darker than usual, as black as an iron tower. ”

Ting Hao glanced at her with a smile.

"Seung-ho doesn't like it the most when someone says he's black-faced."

"Haha, but his face is black, even if he waits outside the cave for my father to retreat for a month, and he doesn't see the sun, it's still very dark." Eun-so laughed, thought for a moment, and said, "During the training camp, Seung-ho once lost to a player who was also a member of the Kiyo team. ”

"Oh?"

"My name is Wakaha."

"Wakabai?" Ting Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, "He defeated Shenghao?" ”

"Yes. Do you know him? ”

"Well, I know."

"He's also a player with a lot of potential, and if he also participates in the World Championships, it will create a lot of obstacles for Seung-ho," Eun-so frowned slightly, "However, it seems that his body is ......" The few times I saw it, that Ruobai's face was a little pale, and as a disciple who practiced taekwondo, this kind of pale was unusual.

"What happened to Ruobai's body?" Ting Hao asked.

"It's nothing."

Shaking his head, Eun Xiu remembered that Minzai had mentioned that someone in the Anyang team had a cold and fever, and it seemed to be Ruobai.

After a moment of silence, Eun-su remembered what she had seen in the past two days.

"Baicao rejected you, didn't you," she asked with a playful look in her eyes, "doesn't it feel very bad?" ”

Looking at the twilight on the mountainside, Ting Hao was slightly distracted.

"Maybe."

After a while, he replied.

"Maybe?"

Eun-so was puzzled.

"I've never experienced failure and setbacks, and it's not the same to taste it once in a while." Touching his nose, Ting Hao smiled as if he was careless.

Eun-so looked at him and said:

"I really don't understand, if you're serious or just on a whim."

"Haha, it's right if you don't understand it," Ting Hao smiled, "In the game, being seen through by the opponent is the most dangerous thing." ”

"It's not a competition," Eun-so shook her head, "You're so proud, Ting-ho." ”

******

The last day of training is over.

The long three rows of candles were completely extinguished, the moon rose at the top of the cave, the moonlight was bright, and Grandmaster Yunyue looked at the hundred grasses who were kneeling in front of the rocks.

"The law is impermanent, the avenue is invisible, I hope that one day, you can forget all the leg methods and skills, and be able to move freely with your heart." Grandmaster Yunyue said slowly.

"Yes."

Baicao responded.

"You have a passion in your heart, you don't have to suppress it. Although taekwondo is about calmness and wisdom, enthusiasm is the origin of everything. ”

Baicao was stunned and replied:

"Yes."

"Let's go back."

"Yes."

After bowing deeply, and then raising his head, Baicao saw that Grandmaster Yunyue had closed his eyes. In the quiet moonlight, Grandmaster Yunyue's figure was faint, as if it was dissolved with the moonlight, and there was no sense of existence.

Grandmaster Yunyue said that enthusiasm is the origin of everything.

However, why didn't she feel the slightest enthusiasm from Grandmaster Yunyue's body. It's just as cool as water, as if nothing can enter the heart, and as if he is no longer interested in anything.

this month.

The Yunyue Grandmaster she came into contact with was very different from what she had imagined.

At first, she thought that Grandmaster Yunyue was already a master outside the world, so she was indifferent to everything in the world, however, one day, she suddenly realized-

That's not indifferent.

but the heart is like a dead wood.

It's like I feel that I have no more interest, so I am far away. There is no joy or sorrow, just because there is no love anymore, not only is there no love for the world, but even for Taekwondo, which was once obsessed, there is no love.

Baicao looked at Grandmaster Yunyue in the moonlight in a daze.

She revered Grandmaster Yunyue's attainments in taekwondo. However, having turned his back on his homeland, his relatives and lovers, has Grandmaster Yunyue not regretted his choice until now?

Although he is already the first person in taekwondo in the world.

However, Grandmaster Yunyue never participated in any more competitions.

Taekwondo without the competition is like the most enthusiastic soul being sucked away. This kind of taekwondo, Grandmaster Yunyue practiced alone, and now, will he still be as beloved as he was back then?

"Do you love taekwondo?"

Still with her eyes closed, Grandmaster Yunyue suddenly said quietly, as if sensing what she was thinking.

"Love." Baicao replied.

"How much can you pay for it?"

"......," Baicao thought for a moment, "I like taekwondo, no matter how tired and bitter I am, I'm not afraid, it's okay not to go out to play, but ...... But it's not the most important thing for me......"

After fighting Kim Min-joo, she began to gradually understand that she loved her master, Xiaoying, Ruobai, Chuyuan, Yifeng, and her teammates more than taekwondo......

"Grandmaster Yunyue," after a while, seeing that Grandmaster Yunyue didn't speak again, Baicao said worriedly in his heart, "Can I ask you a question?" ”

"Please."

"Why don't you ever compete?"

“……”

Grandmaster Yunyue was silent.

Time passed minute by minute, Grandmaster Yunyue never answered her, Baicao gave up, she bowed again, and quietly exited the cave.

The moonlight shone down.

The summer nights are a little cooler.

The little people painted on the cave wall seemed to move quietly in the moonlight, that was his youth, Grandmaster Yunyue thought silently. It seems that a long, long time ago, when he was a young man, he had a burning passion in his heart, and he liked to write wild grass, and he transplanted a banyan tree by the water's edge, and with her, caught it under the tree after the rain.

At that time, his favorite was taekwondo.

Forgetting that in addition to taekwondo, there are actually many things in life that will also make him happy. So, he chose taekwondo, chose to stay in Changhae Dokan, and then gave up everything else without hesitation, yes, without hesitation.

When did it start?

Suddenly there was a hole in his heart.

In between the exercises, in the dead of night, he transplanted almost the same banyan tree by the water's edge, but the hole in his heart became more and more unable to be filled. When taekwondo became the only one, he got less and less pleasure from it. One day, he finally realized that the happiest moment was the moment when she and her friends rushed to hug him tightly after winning the victory.

And he didn't even want to compete anymore.

Because he only wants to represent his country, and he only wants to raise the flag of his country after victory.

He thought that taekwondo was his only one, but after stripping everything except taekwondo, he realized that he was wrong.

He was wrong......

Grandmaster Yunyue closed his eyes tightly.

After years of loneliness, he discovers that he is wrong, that he has made a mistake in his life, and that there is no going back. No one still remembers him back then, and even the "Whirlwind Leg Method" written all over his handwriting when he was young has long been discarded and left in a second-hand bookstore.

The years are quiet.

And his life has passed like this, dead and silent like a cave that cannot blow into the wind......

******

As soon as the morning dawned, Xiaoying got up!

This is a serious violation of the life principle that she insists on sleeping lazily all year round, and she must create conditions to sleep lazily if she has no conditions to sleep lazily!

Hahahaha, Baicao is coming back today!

Sweeping away the frustration of the dark clouds covering the top for many days, Xiaoying Xing Chong changed into a very festive and auspicious pink chiffon dress, and put on a white crossbody bag with the white bear that Baicao gave her. She even considered for a long time, whether to secretly cut a cluster of flowers in full bloom, to go to the airport to greet the grass, holding the flowers more atmosphere.

Hey, forget it.

Moonflowers look a bit cheap.

After all, what she wants to warmly greet is the soon-to-be-born taekwondo king girl Qi Baicao, how can she use flowers that are not of the highest grade to leave a defeat at this historic moment!

Ah Yin and Pingping were already waiting at the intersection, and the three of them got on the airport bus excitedly and ran all the way to the airport. Grandmaster Yunyue, hey, it's so powerful, it's so powerful, it's so good, it's great, it's great, it's going to be reborn and it's going to be shocking, I'm looking forward to it!

The airport was crowded.

Xiaoying, Ayin, and Pingping, who were still excited, found that Baicao's flight would not arrive in more than 20 minutes, and they still had time to check their equipment. After the final inspection, when she looked up, she saw a figure not far away, Xiaoying was stunned, and Ah Yin and Pingping also looked up and were also stunned.

"Hey, it's Senior Brother Hatsuhara."

A little unable to believe his eyes, Ah Yin said stunned. Pinkie was already waving excitedly and shouting:

"Senior Brother Hatsuhara! Senior Brother Hatsuhara! Over here! Over here! ”

In the side gaze of the passengers, Hatsuhara saw them, he was wearing a light blue shirt, dark blue jeans, he was slender, his face was handsome, warm and clear, and his eyes were gentle and walking towards them.

"So handsome! So handsome! So handsome! ”

Ah Yin frantically praised Xiao Ying's ear, and when Chu Yuan approached, he immediately became serious again, and together with Xiao Ying and Pingping, he solemnly saluted him and said:

"Hello Senior Brother Hatsuhara."

The first original jaw returns.

"Senior Brother Hatsuhara, are you here to pick up people at the airport?" Pingping asked respectfully, she has admired Senior Brother Hatsuhara the most since she was a child, and it was for Senior Brother Hatsuhara that she entered the Songbai Daoist Hall.

"Yes."

"Hehe," Pingping smiled happily, "we're here to pick people up, too!" ”

"We're here to pick up the herbs." Ayin hurriedly added.

"Me too." Hatsuhara smiled.

"......," Pingping's mind didn't turn, "what is it?" ”

"I'm also here to pick up the herbs." Hatsuhara looked at the passage out of the customs, and there was a soft smile in his eyes, which shook Ah Yin and Pingping's eyes.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Hatsuhara...... I'm also here to pick up the herbs......" Pingping was stunned, and thought about it again.

That's right, before studying abroad, the relationship between Senior Brother Hatsuhara and Baicao was quite good, and after returning to China, although Baicao and Senior Brother Ruobai fell in love, the relationship between the two was still quite good, and Senior Brother Hatsuhara seemed to have helped Baicao with his homework.

So Senior Brother Hatsuhara specially came to pick up the opportunity of Baicao, and it was nothing.

Right.

Shaking her head, Pingping still felt a little weird, especially, Senior Brother Hatsuhara's eyes staring at the door of the customs clearance, why......

"I knew that Senior Brother Chu Yuan would also come to pick up Baicao, so it would be better to set off together." Pingping said shyly. Since I can't figure it out, I don't want to, it's rare to have such a close contact with Senior Brother Hatsuhara.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Ah Yin stabbed Xiao Ying, who suddenly became extremely silent, since she saw Senior Brother Chu Yuan just now, Xiao Ying was like being knocked from the clouds to the mud by a stick, she didn't say a word, she was a little stunned.

"Flight CZ8209 has landed ......"

The sweet voice of the announcer sounded in the airport hall, Pingping was overjoyed, and under Ah Yin's reminder, Xiaoying decided not to think so much about it first, cheer up!

"Two for one person, in order."

After checking the cute welcome sign with pink letters on a white background in Ah Yin and Pingping's hands, Xiaoying also held up her own and ordered herself to say that you must believe in Baicao, you must believe in Senior Brother Hatsuhara, and you can't think and guess wildly!

"Is there more?"

Hatsuhara's voice sounded from beside him, and when he looked up and saw his gentle and handsome face, Xiaoying was stunned for a moment before she reacted, bending down and rummaging through the big bag.

"That's it."

Xiao Ying picked up a piece of heart-shaped cardboard, a little hesitant, Hatsuhara had already taken it. It was a sign on a white background with a large heart painted in pink, and he looked at it, smiled slightly, and held it up to his chest.

Xiaoying's heart suddenly became chaotic again.

"Baicao is out!"

Pingping cheered excitedly, Ah Yin's spirits were greatly lifted, Xiaoying's eyes suddenly lit up and looked at the exit channel, and those messy thoughts before planting in a second miraculously disappeared in an instant!

Follow the flow of people in the passage out of the customs.

Compared with the Korean airport, as soon as I got off the plane, Baicao obviously felt that there were many more passengers at the domestic airport. Although it was a little crowded, the familiar language around me, the familiar manners, everything was familiar and friendly.

It was the first time she had left the country.

It's been more than a month.

Stepping on the land of the motherland again, there was a warm current in her heart.

"I'll help you get your bag."

Looking at her obviously excited face, Ting Hao reached out to her shoulders, ready to take off her backpack. Baicao flashed to the side and hurriedly said:

"No, it's not sinking at all."

"You're going to hurt me like this," Ting Hao shook his head, "Understand?" ”

“……”

As the flow of people walked out of the exit channel, Baicao was stunned and looked at him in a daze, and before he could ask why, he suddenly heard a warm shout-

"Welcome—Baicao—"

"Triumphant—returning home—"

"Welcome—Baicao—"

"Triumphant—returning home—"

At the entrance of the pick-up channel that was blocked, as if welcoming the stars, the three girls smiled brightly like flowers, and swayed six signs rhythmically in their hands, with pink characters on a white background, written in cute flower fonts-

"Joy, welcome, hundred, grass, return, country"!

In the warm welcome, on the far left was Hatsuhara, his eyes passed through the crowd, looking at her with a smile, and he also had a sign in his hand, a big pink heart, held on his chest.

As if petrified, Baicao froze.

Her face turned red.

Seeing Xiaoying and the others rushing towards Baicao excitedly, some passengers took out their cameras to take pictures, mistakenly thinking that this was a star and fan.

"Baicao! Herbs! ”

Hugging Baicao, Xiaoying and the others touched her excitedly, shouting excitedly: "Oh my God, you're finally back!" ”

"We miss you so much!"

"Let me see if anything has changed!"

Thinking of the dream she had, Xiaoying pulled Ah Yin and Pingping away, and looked at the hundred grass in front of her who she hadn't seen for a month. Looking left, right, wiping her eyes and looking again, Xiaoying pointed at her sadly and angrily, and said:

"Why don't you look the same as before?!"

"What's wrong? What happened to Baicao? Pingping was frightened by Xiaoying's sad expression, and immediately studied Baicao nervously.

Baicao was confused and didn't understand.

"Woo woo woo, you still look like an ordinary person." Xiaoying was sad and whimpered.

"Or else?" Ayin was surprised.

"I had a dream, in the dream, you kicked a whirlwind, spring filled the earth, flowers bloomed, and another whirlwind kick, the stars were bright, colorful clouds," Xiaoying looked up to the sky and wept bitterly, "Did the dream deceive me, or did you hurt me, why, why are you still the dumb herb?" Woowoowoo......"

"Cut!"

Ah Yin kicked Xiaoying away.

Pingping secretly grabbed Baicao, looked at her timidly, and whispered, "Senior Sister Baicao, you came back with Ting Hao's seniors." ”

Seeing that Xiaoying was not really kicked, Baicao breathed a sigh of relief, and when she heard Pingping's question, she subconsciously looked at Chu Yuan, her mind was in a mess, and she suddenly didn't know what to say.

"yes."

Ting Hao answered for her, he smiled heartily, showing his teeth, and Pingping was instantly stunned. Ah Yin opened her mouth wide, looked at Ting Hao, and then at Baicao, and said in disbelief:

"Are you dating?"

Ah, she remembered!

"Senior Ting Hao, a few days ago you came to our gym to look for Baicao, Xiaoying is not here, that's what I told you, Baicao hasn't come back in South Korea yet, you have to stay for a month longer." Ah Yin's mouth opened wider in surprise, "Could it be that then you went directly to Korea to see Baicao?" ”

"Is there such a thing?"

Xiao Ying drilled out her head in shock, looked at Ting Hao with wide eyes, thought about it, snatched Ah Yin's words and said:

"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask! Ting Hao senior, are you pursuing Baicao? Not only did you give Baicao a mobile phone, but you also sent flowers to Baicao when you were in Korea! ”

"Nope!"

Baicao blushed and replied immediately.

"What do you think?"

Looking at the restless Baicao, Ting Hao smiled incomprehensibly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Chu Yuan had quietly taken Baicao's backpack. He lowered his gaze, smiled again, and in the surprised gaze of Xiaoying, he said:

"I went to Seoul on the same day as Baekcho."

"Really?" Xiaoying was a little unconvinced, "But the lavender you gave to Baicao, the flower language is 'waiting love', how can it not be the pursuit of Baicao?" ”

"Lavender also has a meaning, 'waiting for a miracle to happen,'" Ting Hao smiled and glanced at Baicao, "I believe that Baicao can win the final battle of the best winning camper." ”

“……”

Xiaoying was dumbfounded.

"Hatsuhara, you're here," Ting Hao patted Hatsuhara's shoulder, squeezed between Hatsuhara and Baicao without a trace, and said with a smile, "Are you here to pick me up?" ”

Hatsuhara also patted him on the back and said with a smile:

"It's been a long time since I've seen you."

Xiaoying and Ayin glanced at each other, and Pingping immediately said without understanding anything:

"Senior Brother Hatsuhara is here to pick up the herbs......"

"Oh?"

Ting Hao seemed to be smiling.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Ying suddenly became suspicious again, looked at Baicao, looked at Chu Yuan, and then looked at Ting Hao, and sighed in her heart.

"Brother————!

A soft voice came with slightly faster footsteps, Baicao was stunned, the voice was so familiar, but it seemed that she hadn't heard it for a long time, she looked over-

The girl who walked briskly not far away, wearing a white suspender chiffon dress, the noon sun shining from the airport dome, she was light, slim, beautiful smile, quiet and gentle.

It's Tingyi.

"Brother, I'm late, and the traffic jam on the road is very serious."

Tingyi walked to Ting Hao's side, first explained the reason to him coquettishly, and then she turned her head, her eyes swept over Pingping, Ayin and Xiaoying, and fell on Baicao.

She looked at Baicao, smiled and said:

"You're back."

"Yes." Bow to the grass.

"Did you have a good time in Korea?"

“…… Pretty good. ”

"Baicao is not here to play," Xiao Ying said loudly, "Baicao won the best winning camper in the training camp, and Grandmaster Yunyue also accepted Baicao as an apprentice and guided Baicao for a whole month. ”

"Really?" Tingyi was slightly surprised and said, "The activities of the best campers are still being held? I thought it was canceled a long time ago. Baicao, who did you play the final match with? ”

"It's Kim Min-joo."

"Ah, it's Min-joo," Tingyi smiled, "Has her skills improved?" It's a pity that you rarely go to a training camp and you don't meet a strong opponent. ”

"You ——!"

Xiaoying was so angry that her face was crooked.

"What a lovely heart!" Ignoring Baicao and Xiaoying, seeing the pink heart in Hatsuhara's hand, Tingyi walked over happily, she reached out and touched it, and said with a smile, "Brother Hatsuhara, thank you, I like this cute little thing very much!" ”

The grass was stunned.

She also looked at the heart in Hatsuhara's hand.

"That's for Baicao!" Xiao Yingzhi was so proud that she almost pinched her waist and laughed wildly, "Tingyi, you are mistaken, it was for Senior Brother Chu Yuan to give Baicao, not for you!" ”

"Really?" Tingyi looked at Chu Yuan.

Looking at Baicao's silently lowered head, Hatsuhara said quietly:

"Yes, I'll pick up the herbs."

"That's right."

Tingyi pursed her lips, but didn't seem to care. She glanced at Baicao, took the pink heart from Hatsuhara's hand, stuffed it into Baicao, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I am still a child, and I have to grab everything." If you like it, take it, don't break it. ”

"Let's go."

After speaking, Tingyi grabbed Chu Yuan's arm and then Ting Hao.

"Let's go back."

"Hey ——!"

Seeing that the two handsome guys were about to be pulled away by Tingyi, Xiaoying was furious, why, why was it clear that Baicao was still the heroine of the scandal just now, and Tingyi insisted on stealing all the limelight as soon as she came!

"Ting Hao, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow," Chu Yuan removed Tingyi's hand from his arm and said to Tinghao, "You and Tingyi should go back first, and I'll send Baicao and them back to the Dao Hall." ”

Ting Hao smiled, noncommittal.

"Ah, yes, I didn't think it through," Tingyi said apologetically, pausing and asking Xiaoying, "How did you get here?" ”

"Airport bus."

"Brother, this is my car key," Tingyi took out the key and said, "Or you can send Baicao and them back, I have something to tell Brother Hatsuhara." ”

Ting Hao glanced at Baicao and asked:

"Is that okay?"

“…… Good. ”

Baicao raised her head slightly, she wanted to take back her backpack from Hatsuhara's hand, but Hatsuhara smiled slightly, changed the backpack from her left hand to her right hand, and said to Tingyi:

"Tingyi, another day."

"Let's go first."

Holding Baicao's shoulders, Chu Yuan picked up the backpack in his hand, nodded slightly at Ting Hao and Tingyi, and led her towards the airport gate. Xiaoying, Ah Yin, and Pingping cheered, and they were very happy following the two.

"Don't be stupid."

In the distance, the airport's automatic doors open and close, close and open. Tingyi pursed her lips and stood in place, Ting Hao sighed, and pulled her away.

Until she got into Chu Yuan's car, Xiao Ying was still intoxicated in Tingyi's expression at that moment, hahahaha, sure enough, as soon as Baicao came back, it was different, hahahahahaha.

But—

I saw the two people in the front row of the car.

Baicao was sitting precariously, holding the pink heart in his hand, Hatsuhara was driving, he was smiling in his eyes, and from time to time he looked sideways at Baicao, and Baicao would also look at Hatsuhara with a slightly red cheek from time to time.

Xiaoying frowned.

Suddenly, I couldn't be happy again.

******

Jeonsheng Dokan.

In the afternoon, the summer wind blows, and the leaves of the plum trees sound softly in the wind. On the small square table under the tree, there is a plate of plums and a plate of melon seeds, and the fragrance of tea rises from the purple sand cup, and Baicao brings the Korean ginseng bought from Korea to the master.

"I've written down all kinds of prescriptions here," Baicao handed over a piece of paper at the same time, which densely recorded the most appropriate way to take Korean ginseng for different physical conditions, "I hope it will be useful to Master's body." ”

"Okay, okay."

Taking the Korean ginseng and the recipe, Qu nodded slowly to the south.

"Thank you, Baicao." Guangya refilled the purple clay pot with hot water, "Dad really needs to make up for it, I accompanied my father to the hospital a few days ago, and the doctor said the same." ”

"To the hospital? Why? ”

Baicao suddenly became nervous.

"It's nothing," the heat of the tea rose, and the elegant and low-hanging eyelashes were smoked black and wet, "It's just that my father has been coughing, and I have never accompanied my father to check his body, so I simply went for a full body physical examination a few days ago." ”

Putting down the purple clay pot, Guangya sat on the other side of the small square table, looked at the obviously nervous Baicao, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Don't worry, the doctor said that Dad is not a big problem, just take care of it, your Korean ginseng is just right." ”

Baicao looked at the father and daughter sitting quietly together in front of him.

The once sharp has converged a lot, and in front of the master, Guangya has become like all ordinary little daughters, with smiles in her eyes, attachment and coquettishness. Master's figure is no longer so old and lonely, and the silence and loneliness in his eyes have become lighter. Even the soft sound of the plum leaves in the garden is much happier.

This is the image she has been looking forward to.

She knew how much Master longed for Guangya to accept him as a father.

She has also been working hard to help Master achieve it.

However, at this moment, seeing this picture of a happy father and daughter, she was stunned, as if there was a place in her heart that was slowly lost.

Panickedly looking away, Baicao didn't know what was wrong with her, but a wave of dampness rushed to her eyes.

"Baicao?"

Sensing that something was wrong with her, Guangya half-leaned over and looked at her worriedly:

"What's wrong with you? Is it too tiring to fly? ”

"It's okay, I'm fine," Baicao hurriedly shook his head, controlling himself to force back that strange emotion, and said embarrassedly, "It's all right now." ”

"You also have to pay attention to your body," Qu Xiangnan stared at her, "No matter how important training is, the body also comes first." ”

"Yes."

"After the summer vacation, you're going to be your third year of high school. You have to go to college, you know? ”

“…… Be. ”

"You and Guangya are all ready to go to college, don't worry about this."

"Master......"

Momokusa looked up in surprise.

"It's true," Guangya grabbed her arm and said with a smile, "Dad showed me all the passbooks, there are two passbooks, one is your name and the other is mine, both of which have been saved since we were very young." ”

“……”

The eyelashes trembled, and the tears that had been restrained just now suddenly surged up, and Baicao hurriedly turned his head, but the tears were already rolling down.

"You kid......" Qu Xiangnan sighed slowly.

"Thank you, Master," he hurriedly wiped away the tears from his face, and Baicao was too shy to raise his head, "However, I won a prize money in this training camp, and it shouldn't be a problem to pay for college tuition." ”

"Me too, Daddy." Guangya also said, "I plan to go to the university in this city, and the restaurant where I worked for the past two years said that it will always let me work part-time there, so I can pay for my tuition." ”

"Dad, you can keep this money first," Guangya's face flushed, "or one day, when I marry Baicao, give us a dowry." ”

In the afternoon summer breeze.

Sitting around the small square table, Guangya was in charge of pouring tea, and the three of them talked quietly, time passed so quietly, and they had dinner again, and the night was already dark.

"This is my hand-pickled plum."

Before leaving, Guangya took out a small porcelain altar, she looked at the plum tree in the courtyard with a smile, and said to Baicao: "You won't believe it, this plum tree actually bore fruit last month, red and round." It was sour when I first picked it, I pickled it and it's sweet now. ”

Heksoa also looked at the plum tree.

"Are you taking care of it now?"

"Well, I'll take care of it with my dad."

After taking the jar of plums, Baicao was about to say thank you, but in the starlight sprinkled all over the sky, Guangya suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged her. With her head nestled on Baicao's shoulder, Guangya's eyelashes fluttered, and then she hugged her tighter, and said:

"Thank you, Baicao."

******

Under the summer sun, the white buildings shone brightly, and walking up the high steps, Baicao looked up at the training center that he had not been to for more than a month. It's like going from a dream to reality, and there is a feeling that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Yesterday I waited for you for a day, and I was really bored of waiting, so I went out to watch a movie with Ayin," covering the sun above her head with her hands, Xiaoying complained while walking up the steps, "As a result, I came back after watching the movie, and you haven't come back yet, why did you go?" ”

"I went to Master's."

"Gone for so long?" Xiaoying looked incredulous, "And then, where did you go?" ”

“…… On the way back, I met Senior Brother Hatsuhara. ”

"......," Xiaoying flattened her mouth, "what did you say?" ”

"It's nothing," Baicao's face turned a little red, "Later, I went to Senior Brother Ruobai's dormitory, but I waited for a long time, but I didn't wait for Senior Brother Ruobai." When I went back, I found that it was so late, you had already fallen asleep, I'm sorry, Xiaoying, I didn't know you were waiting for me too. ”

"You're waiting outside?"

"Hmm."

In the past, every summer vacation, Senior Brother Ruobai would go out to work. She thought that Senior Brother Ruobai would come back at that time, but she waited and waited, always thinking that Senior Brother Ruobai would appear in the next minute, but she never waited.

"Well, in the past month in Korea, have you never been in contact with Senior Brother Ruobai?" Xiaoying scratched her head, looking a little strange.

"Nope."

Grandmaster Yunyue ordered her to concentrate on her practice and put away all the communication tools to communicate with the outside world.

"That's ......" Pushing open the glass door of the training center, Xiaoying said hesitantly, "Actually, Baicao, a lot of things have happened in the month you have been away......

“……？”

Seeing that Xiaoying had something to say, Baicao listened intently, but when he pushed the door in, the gorgeous battle in the hall of the training center made both of them stunned.

There were more than a dozen reporters, holding microphones, holding cameras, and carrying video cameras, and crowded around the hall lively. Most of them were surrounded at the door of the training hall, and in front of Baicao and Xiaoying, there was a female reporter facing the camera, elegantly holding the microphone to explain-

Today, Tingyi is shooting a new commercial for a shampoo manufacturer, and she has just won the attention of the media after defeating the Japanese taekwondo champion beautiful girl Asami Shimizu. Later, we will interview Tingyi ......"

"Let's go."

Xiaoying frowned, and pulled away the hundred herbs that were still listening in a daze.

Entering the storage room, Mei Ling and Shen Bo were putting their clothes, and when they saw her two coming in, Shen Bo greeted Baicao and went out first. After Mei Ling rushed over and hugged Baicao, she said excitedly:

"Did you see that?"

"You mean the reporters out there?" Xiaoying opened the locker and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not blind, of course I saw it." ”

"I mean the advertisement being filmed in the training hall, I just squeezed to the door to take a look," Mei Ling's cheeks were crimson with excitement, "Wow, this time there is a male star who shoots an advertisement with Tingyi, he looks so handsome, the shot I saw was Tingyi turning around and flicking her hair, and the hair slid through the hands of the male star, wow, so romantic!" ”

"You're a nymphomaniac." Xiao Ying said coldly.

"Please, you're talking so strangely," Mei Ling was a little unhappy, "You've been turning weird lately." ”

"Where am I to blame! Although I didn't see the male star you mentioned, how handsome can he be, is it as handsome as our senior brother Hatsuhara? ”

"That's not ......"

"Is Senior Brother Ruobai handsome?"

"It doesn't seem to be ...... either"

"That's right, what are you." Xiaoying rolled her eyes, "What's so great about having a male star shoot an advertisement together, not to mention Senior Brother Hatsuhara, even if it's Senior Brother Ruobai, if you are willing to enter the entertainment industry, those so-called handsome male stars, all stand aside!" ”

Mei Ling was stupid when she heard it.

"Also, don't mention Tingyi in a very envious tone," Xiaoying snapped the cabinet door shut again, "I thought she lost to Baicao, and after being in retreat for so long, it would be different if she came out again." As a result, you also saw that she intensified her efforts and actually participated in that, 'World Taekwondo Beautiful Girl Showdown'! ”

"You tell me, what's that?" Xiaoying glared at Mei Ling, "Is that also a competition?" That's the show! That's entertainment! That's blasphemous taekwondo! ”

"You can't say that, your hat is too buttoned......" Mei Ling was a little embarrassed and defended, "Although I can't say how formal the game is, well, I admit that it is a little bit of entertainment, but at least it has popularized taekwondo, hasn't it?" ”

As she spoke, Mei Ling became happy again.

"Moreover, Tingyi is so beautiful, so majestic during the game, and the ratings are very, very high! Even said in the news, because of Tingyi, because of this taekwondo beautiful girl program, the number of people who have recently started to learn taekwondo has increased several times! ”

"Hmph, grandstanding." Xiaoying was disdainful, "She's just trying to show off for herself." That kind of competition, it's very fake at first glance, what Shimizu Asami, what Japanese champion, I've never heard of it, how did I never know that there was such a character in Japan! ”

"Haven't you heard of it?"

There was a nice smell in the air, as if a bright starlight came in, which instantly made the storage room dreamy.

"Last month, Japan held the National Taekwondo Championships, and rookie Asami Shimizu was a dark horse who defeated three-time champion Kiyosa Kimoto to win the title." Tingyi walked to the locker and said lightly, "Kimoto Kiyosa, you should have heard that Asami Shimizu defeated her with a score of 5:2. ”

Xiaoying froze.

Kiyosa Kimoto is a veteran who is nearly 30 years old, and although he has never won a championship in the World Series in the past three years, he has always been able to reach the semi-finals.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little weird, Mei Ling hurriedly played a round and said in a row:

"Tingyi, is the advertisement finished? It's so fast! Ah, the makeup artist painted you so beautiful! What kind of foundation is this, the skin looks crystal clear, there is no trace at all, so natural, beautiful! The blush is also very good, hey, is this blush water-quality, how does it seem to be sucked into the skin. ”

"It seems to be a brand in the United States, and I will ask the makeup artist after training."

Tingyi smiled, she took out a jar of makeup remover from the cabinet, scooped out a ball and massaged it on her face, and quickly removed the makeup.

"Xiaoying," after a moment of silence, Tingyi turned around, looked at Xiaoying, who was sitting with Baicao and changed her shoes, took a slight breath, and said, "I don't know, why do you say this about me." ”

"I remember that in the past, every time I went to the Songbai Daoguan, you always chased after me and happily called me 'Sister Tingyi'. When did you become so annoying about me? There was a slight instability in Tingyi's voice, "Yes, I have filmed a lot of commercials, I have wasted some training time, and even in the last intra-team competition, I lost to Baicao." ”

Mei Ling looked at Tingyi uneasily, and then at Xiaoying.

Baicao turned his head in a daze and saw Xiaoying's fingers frozen on the laces.

"After the retreat, I didn't want to participate in this taekwondo beautiful girl competition, and when the TV station invited me at the beginning, I directly declined." Tingyi said to Xiaoying, "But you also saw the later development from TV, Shimizu Asami came prepared, she defeated players from many countries in a row, and the youth team sent four players to compete with her, and they all lost." ”

"And then? Should I stay high and continue to refuse to participate? Should you watch Asami Shimizu win all the way and find no opponent in China at all? Tingyi closed her eyes, "I'm sorry, I can't do it, even if it's just an entertainment show, even if I am said by others to be grandiose and show off, I have to beat her." ”

"Tingyi ......"

Mei Ling had tears in her eyes.

"As for today's commercial, it was a contract I signed two years ago, and I have to fulfill it." Tingyi calmed down, "All I can do is try not to interfere with everyone's normal training, so I started shooting at five o'clock this morning, and the shooting has been completed just now." ”

"Xiaoying, I know you like Baicao, Baicao is your good friend," Tingyi smiled bitterly and looked at Xiaoying, who was silent, "But, can you try not to look at me like that?" ”
