Fen Qiao's steps were vain, his face was still a little pale, and he took a few steps to move, Gu Yan got up and gave her his seat, handed over the water cup, and motioned for her to take medicine.

The water in the cup was just the right temperature, and her chest was uncomfortable, so she simply swallowed the medicine and poured water down her throat desperately.

Fen Qiao's sideburns were messy, and the rubber bands that tied up his hair were also scattered, which was a bit wolfish.

As soon as Fen Qiao put down the water glass, Gu Yan stretched out his hand, took off the rubber band that was about to fall apart, and helped her smooth the broken hair behind her ear and tie it back up. Fen Qiao's black hair is thick, and even after being soaked in chlorinated water for a long time, the hair texture is still soft and smooth.

After finishing a qiē, Gu Yan helped her pick up the coat that was on the seat, and then squatted in front of Fen Qiao: "Follow me to a place." ”

Where to?

Fen Qiao was puzzled by him, the coach of the school team before the game stipulated that he could not act privately.

"I'll take a leave of absence for you, now follow me somewhere." His eyes were not to be refused, Fen Qiao didn't want to go out, but he could only obediently put down the water glass and follow behind Gu Yan.

The black Maybach was speeding on the Ducheng Expressway, to the Sima Tai exit, and then to Xinchengzi, seeing that it was getting farther and farther away from the imperial capital, Fen Qiao glanced back uneasily, and asked quietly, "Where are we going?" ”

She still has a game tomorrow morning, what if she goes too far to go back?

Gu Yan's eyes were straight ahead, concentrating on driving, and did not answer her.

After getting off the highway, the car traveled through the trail for more than half an hour, and the sky was gradually darkening.

Just when Fenqiao was drowsy, the car stopped at the foot of the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain stood a city gate of the former dynasty building, which was more solemn and simple after a hundred years of baptism and precipitation.

Gu Yan said something to the Bluetooth headset, and it didn't take long for someone to open the mountain gate, and as soon as he entered the gate, it was a winding mountain road, winding up the mountain, and the temperature gradually dropped.

Fen Qiao couldn't help but tighten his clothes, and Gu Yan had already turned on the heating.

"The coat is in the back, put it on first."

Fen Qiao Yiyan put on his coat and found that there was no forest outside the car window, and after 1,800 meters above sea level, it was like driving on the clouds.

"This is Lingwu Mountain." Gu Yan told her.

"Lingwu Mountain?" Most of the sleepiness in Fen Qiao's mind disappeared immediately. Fenqiao likes to read travel magazines and take photos on weekdays, and after introducing Lingwu Mountain in Chengde in the last issue of the magazine, she took it out from time to time to take a look. And now, here she is.

It is more than 140 kilometers away from the imperial capital, in the middle of the Yanshan Mountain Range, which was the royal feng shui forbidden land of the previous dynasty, which was sealed for hundreds of years, so it still maintains a good natural ecosystem.

Fen Qiao suddenly felt relaxed, and all the disturbances during the game seemed to have been left behind by her.

At night, Lingwu Mountain was extremely silent, the clouds seemed to be all dispersed, and a few fleeting lightning bolts could be seen in the distance, and the other tourists had all descended the mountain. Occasionally, a few car lights flickered on the winding mountain road, and they were basically photographers who came to the top of the mountain to expose themselves at night.

Under the moonlight, the scenery outside the roadway is even more majestic, paved with a layer of silver light, mysterious and beautiful.

Fen Qiao's eyes were bright, as if scattered with thousands of stars, she couldn't take her eyes off the car window to see the scenery flying by, and wanted to take pictures to record them all, but the car was driving so fast that she couldn't even see clearly. What's more, it came suddenly, and she didn't bring a camera.

The car finally entered a mountain villa on the top of the mountain, an old-style building, there were already people waiting outside the Zhu Gate, a middle-aged woman in her forties, who looked like a housekeeper, Gu Yan got out of the car, and she saluted respectfully.

This is the Gu family's other village in Lingwu Mountain, the area is not as large as the Gu Mansion in the imperial capital, but it is full of aura. Even the daily water source in the mountain resort is diverted from the main peak.

It was already late, although Fen Qiao was excited, she was still a little mentally weak, and it happened that the bedroom was ready, so Gu Yan asked her to go to sleep.

"But I haven't seen anything?" Fen Qiao's eyes widened, after driving such a long way, he didn't see it well before he was going to rest?

"Obedient," Gu Yan stroked her hair, "You can go to see the sunrise tomorrow and have a good rest tonight." ”

Both of them seemed to have forgotten the final in the imperial capital.

……

In the early hours of the morning, Fen Qiao was woken up from her sleep, and when she opened her sleepy eyes, Gu Yan was already squatting at the head of her bed.

As soon as he came in from outside, Gu Yan still carried a wisp of autumn cold on his body, feeling the coolness, Fen Qiao immediately sobered up a little, and the clock at the bedside showed that it was five o'clock in the morning.

This time, Gu Yan didn't drive again, and the road to the top of the main peak was blocked, so the two could only hike up the mountain.

In the early hours of the morning, the light in the mountains was dim, and the air was mixed with damp dew. The temperature was only about fifteen or sixteen degrees, but fortunately, Fen Qiao was wearing a jacket to keep the cold out.

Only the hands exposed to the air were cold, and Gu Yan found out about this and held her hand.

The further up you go, the more visibility you get. On the top of the mountain, a platform was built to watch the sunrise, and Fen Qiao had just climbed there when he saw the first red glimmer on the other side of the mountain.

The wind at the top of the mountain was very strong, and Fen Qiao's clothes and hair were blowing, and his face was stabbed painfully, but none of them were as shocking as the qiē in front of him.

The sky was about to dawn, and the light was as red as fire, sprinkled over the entire mountain range, overlooking the past, continuous and winding, and mountains and mountains.

I saw the mountains leaning down, not knowing that there was Kunlun in the world.

It makes people's hearts suddenly rise with a kind of pride and momentum that looks at the world.

The sun slowly rose up, the whole earth was dyed red, and the newborn sunlight hit her face, and a new day began here!

Fen Qiao excitedly turned back to look for Gu Yan, but saw that Gu Yan was always standing quietly behind her, he didn't smile, but his expression was relaxed and soft.

"Are you happy?"

"Yes." Fen Qiao's eyes were bright, like stars.

The wind swept the long hair in Fen Qiao's ears, and when she closed her eyes, she seemed to be wandering between heaven and earth, holding Gu Yan's palm tightly, and there was warmth on her body.

"Qiaoqiao," the wind brought Gu Yan's deep and pleasant voice to her ears, "Isn't it easy to let go of the burden like this?" ”

"Yes."

"Then put it down forever."

What the? Fen Qiao didn't understand clearly for a while, and looked back at him in surprise.

Gu Yan's eyes reflected the newborn red sun, which was extremely warm, "Qiaoqiao, no one puts pressure on you." The glory and disappointment of the past are far away from you, and you can abandon them at any time. ”

"You don't need to care about other people's eyes, you only live for yourself."

The opponent who could once win outright surpassed her, and she knew that she had given up swimming for so many years, and maybe she could not win like she had in the past, but even if she knew, she couldn't be calm.

Maybe there's frustration, maybe there's trepidation.

The end result: Fen Qiao made an even bigger mistake in the semi-finals. She was like a string, which became tighter and tighter from the time she saw Li Meng again, and finally broke at the moment of the game.

She cares about the eyes of others, afraid of the pity, sympathy, and disappointment poured into each look. After all, in the past thousand days and nights, she had survived in fear under the gaze of others.

But now Gu Yan told her not to care, live for herself.

The sun in the sea of clouds rose higher and higher, and it seemed to be close in front of her, and the glow of the sun almost pierced her eyes. In the distance, the temple heard the old and quaint hum of the morning bell.

The human heart seems to be washed at this moment.

Can it be put down?

Why did she live like this with a heavy past?

Now no one pressures her, no one asks her to succeed.

Why is she bound by other people's ideas?

Fen Qiao only felt that his heart was suddenly clear, and his brain became clear and thorough. The blood burns in the body, and the whole body has an inexhaustible strength.

If there was a swimming pool in front of her, she would have gone down for a swim.

……

It was only six o'clock when we went down the mountain, and Fenqiao's race started at eleven o'clock, which was enough time to arrive before the check-in.

On the way back, Fen Qiao fell asleep on the co-pilot with Gu Yan's coat covered.

Gu Yan tilted her head slightly, and she could see her sweet sleeping face.

The center of the eyebrows is loose, which shows that from now on, she is no longer influenced by others.

The knot in my heart is easy to knot and difficult to solve, if I continue to stay in the imperial capital yesterday, with the state of Fen Qiao, I will definitely gain nothing.

Maybe it would not be wise to come here before the game, and it would even affect Fen Qiao's strength, but Gu Yan did not regret it, because Fen Qiao's life was not just about that game.

If giving up a game can teach her anything, it's really worth it.

……

At eleven o'clock, Fenqiao stood on the side of the court to warm up, waiting for her game to start.

Chongwen's well-cut varsity jersey is even more energetic, and Fenqiao's hair is all coiled up, revealing a delicate beauty tip.

The beauty of Fenqiao lies in the delicacy everywhere, as if it had been kissed by God. The face is white and smooth, like the first peeled egg white, the peach blossom eyes are blurry and dreamy, the corners of the eyes are crooked when you smile, the lying silkworm looks even sweeter, the lips are full, and the color is red.

She is doing warm-up exercises, her body is slender, her limbs are slender, and she has a different kind of beauty in her gestures.

The beauty under the lens is even more flawless, and the director of the live broadcast room muttered to himself, muttering: "This girl is not suitable for being an athlete, she is suitable for making movies, ......" Having said that, he couldn't help but give her a few more shots.

Of the eight finalists, Fen Qiao was the last.

The radio began to broadcast: "Yiyi, Chongwen University, Fenqiao ......"

The final was broadcast on TV, and the camera turned to her, and she was a little uncomfortable.

Fen Qiao took one last look at the stands, Gu Yan was sitting in the VIP seat, his eyes were focused, looking at her, there was no expression on his face, but his gaze was soft.

Moving back to her gaze, her heart suddenly calmed down, the corners of her mouth curled uncontrollably, and the corners of her eyes curved just in time to be captured in the camera.

She calmly took off her coat and stepped forward step by step.

Li Meng was the first in the semifinals and deserved to be assigned to the golden fourth track. The two glanced at each other from a distance, and Li Meng took the lead in looking away.

Fen Qiao silently lowered his head and made the final pre-game preparations.

The first preparation bell rang, Fen Qiao took a deep breath, bent over his knuckles in front of the stage and prepared to go. The body is like a tense bow, and the next second it will leave the string.

Sports competition is not only a competition of strength, but also a competition of state and psychology. Fenqiao's track is on the very edge, which is not a good position and is often the least likely to produce results.

But so what?

Fen Qiao held his breath and emptied a distracting thought in his heart.

Gu Yan was offstage, this was the first time he had watched her compete.

"Toot-"

The bell rang, almost every second, Fen Qiao entered the water!

The stands on both sides immediately heard earth-shattering cheers and shouts.

The water flowed from the side of Fen Qiao's body, and every pore on her body was almost open, and she wanted to tremble with happiness.

The water quality of the swimming pool at the Water Cube is among the best in the world, comparable to drinking water.

Fenqiao had heard that good water quality makes athletes more excited.

At this moment, Fen Qiao really understood this feeling.
