At the end of the two-day holiday, on the morning of July 9, Coach Zhang held a brief pre-game preparation meeting in his room to inform everyone of his previous decision.

In fact, after two days of rest, there are still many players who still have physical problems, and even feel that their legs are sore, everyone has personally realized the predicament faced by the team, and also understands that the semi-finals of the ball has been powerless, so for the coach's arrangement, everyone is the same as Wang Bai, and they are reluctant to accept it.

In the afternoon, the semi-finals between Guanglin Middle School and Yanjing No. 7 Middle School ended with a score of 1:2, and there were not many bright spots in the whole game.

In fact, before the start of the game, when the commentators got the list of appearances of both sides, they saw that Guanglin Middle School sent almost all the substitute lineups, and it was already asserted that the Guanglin Middle School team had experienced continuous fierce battles in the first few games and was no longer able to continue, and the main purpose of this game would be to train soldiers.

However, the substitute lineup of Guanglin Middle School is not completely ineffective at all, in the rare opportunity to play, these junior boys under the leadership of Wang Bai, strictly abide by tactical discipline, although the scene occupies a disadvantage, but has been fighting tenaciously and has not collapsed.

It's just that because his skills are not as good as others, he still lost the game, and Wang Bai scored a goal to save face a little.

The defeat did not let the players slump, and like their opponents in previous games, they hugged and said goodbye to the players of Yanjing No. 7 Middle School after the game, and promised to fight again next year.

After the game, in the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of the media, Coach Zhang took the initiative to take all the responsibility, stating that he would make such an arrangement considering that the physical condition of most of the players is not suitable for the game, and said that this year's results have brought a lot of gains and lessons to the team, and they will make full preparations to launch a stronger impact in the coming year.

Before the game, the commentators of Haidong TV had already expected this result, because from the previously announced news, the main goalkeeper of Guanglin Middle School retired injured. The main defenders are banned, and most of the main players have played three games in a row in a week, and from a rational point of view, they have almost no chance of winning the battle with Yanjing Seventh Middle School, which is full of personnel and physical fitness.

Maybe the two teams can still say that the outcome is unpredictable in the first round of the meeting, but in this case, anyone with a discerning eye can see that unless there is a miracle, Guanglin Middle School will definitely stop here this year.

Wu Jiang, a commentator who had been mentally prepared, did not show that he hated iron but not steel when commenting on the game, but explained the whole game in a decent manner, and after the game, he was full of expectations for the comeback of Guanglin Middle School in the coming year.

"I believe it. Next year's Guanglin Middle School team will be stronger and more outstanding, and will definitely dedicate more exciting games to us! Let's say goodbye, Guanglin Middle School! Thank you for the passion you have brought us this summer! ”

After the game, Coach Zhang led all the players to find a stand, where dozens of hometown fans gathered from Guanglin to follow them all the way to cheer here. He led his disciples to bow to the fans to express their gratitude, and those uncle-level loyal fans shouted: "Come on! You're good! "Keep up the good work next year!" "We'll always have your back!"

The next morning, the Guanglin Middle School team boarded the return train under the arrangement of the staff of the Haidong team.

The National High School Athletic Conference is not over yet, but the national competition is over for them. Especially for the three senior players on the team.

Back in Guanglin, at the school gate, the team faces a parting scene that happens once a year. But this year's atmosphere is particularly sentimental, probably because it is not easy for everyone to work together this year.

Three senior high school players led by captain Ge Cheng. Hug and say goodbye to the juniors one by one.

"Thank you, thank you, I am very satisfied to be able to come to this day. If I want to talk about regrets, the only regret is that I won't be able to compete in the national competition again with you next year...... I ......" Ge Cheng burst into tears on the spot. Trying to hold back tears, he said, "I wish you all the best next year!" Climb to the top of the podium! ”

The other two also said with red eyes: "Come on!" Don't be lazy. Keep running every day! No one is allowed to hold back next year! ”

On behalf of the whole team, the new captain Wang Bai shook his fist and promised them: "I promise you that next year, we will definitely win the national championship!" ”

The three of them stretched out their fists against each other: "Manly husband ......"

"Nine words!"

The other team members echoed in unison: "One word!" ”

Starting from today, the football team of Guanglin Middle School, a weak team in the national competition that can only dominate the local market, is finally no longer a frog at the bottom of the well, and has begun to move towards a higher goal!

The team was disbanded at the school gate, and Principal Qi personally drove to pick up his daughter. When Wang Bai returned to Hopson Jingcheng, he saw that the family was very lively, not only his parents and Lu Lu were there, but even Jin Xiaoli and Liu Yan were also guests at his house. Everyone got the news in advance, so they gathered together to pick him up and wash the dust, and by the way, they had a celebration banquet.

Today's chef is Wang's mother, but everyone else took turns to fry a specialty side dish to reward Guanglin Middle School for breaking into the top four of this competition.

"Don't talk about it, talk while eating!" After everyone greeted each other, Father Wang gave an order to open the banquet.

During the banquet, everyone asked him about what he saw during the Yanjing Competition, Wang Bai answered one by one, everyone talked and laughed, and the meal was harmonious.

Talking about the game against Liangang No. 3 Middle School, Wang Bai is still a little enthusiastic, saying: "Before Wei Ming came on the field, I really felt that there was no play, the other side looked at me too deadly, and it was the passing route that everyone gave me, and I didn't have a chance to shoot from a distance at all...... When he came on the field, I told him, you just run forward, it's a few minutes later, don't care about physical strength, as long as you pull out the space, I will follow even if I die! ”

Speaking of this, he paused, took a sip of beer and continued: "Later, it was not easy for him to seize the two opportunities, tsk...... Fortunately, there was a goalpost on the opposite side, otherwise the game would have been over long ago. When I heard the referee blow the whistle to end the game, I went crazy, Nima has never been so excited in her life! Wei Ming later said that I almost knocked his bones apart, hehe......"

Listening to him recall the scene of the game, everyone was also honored, and the girls present were all in tears.

Kim Hyo-ri asked, "Why don't you fight for the semi-finals?" I think you were in okay shape at the time. ”

"I don't have any big problems, the others can't afford to be injured," Wang Bai sighed lightly, "Three games a week, the ones who play the whole game." On the day of the semi-finals, I didn't slow down, especially against Lian Hong Kong No. 3 Middle School, I didn't replace it, and my legs were trembling when I came down. It's not that you don't want to win, it's that you really can't play. ”

Dad Wang patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Let the past pass, prepare well next year, I believe that with this performance, the recruitment of your school team for the new school year will definitely be smooth, and the team will definitely get stronger and stronger." ”

After eating, Wang Bai took out the gift he had brought from the box. Everyone present has a share, he has prepared all of them, and one has declined.

Kim Hyo-ri also gave her an extra one to take home, a heavy box, saying that it was for her father.

Lili took the things home, and after giving them to Jin Yuandao, she urged him to open them and take a look, only to see that there was a pair of delicate cloisonné health balls inside, and Jin Xiaoliqi said: "How to send this kind of thing?" ”

Jin Yuandao smiled and said, "It's exactly what I want." ”

Last time, in order to demonstrate his skills, Wang Bai ground one of Jin Yuandao's health care balls into powder. Now I have thought about giving him this gift.

After the Wang family's reception banquet ended, Wang Bai rode Liu Yan home, and on the way, the two only talked about what happened here after he left Guanglin during this time.

He felt that the swallow was at ease with him. There is even a little bit of arrogance, it seems to be a little less restrained, and it seems that he is gradually letting go of the past between the two, which makes him feel a lot more relieved.

Sent to Nanhua Garden. Downstairs at Liu Yan's cousin's house, Wang Bai waved goodbye to her and was about to leave. But she stopped him: "Xiaoshu, wait a minute." ”

"What's wrong?"

Liu Yan pulled her sideburns, showed a pretty and moving face in the moonlight, and said softly: "There are some things I want to make clear to you now, otherwise I am afraid that in the future, there will be no chance." ”

She could feel that Wang Bai was drifting away from herself, but she was powerless to redeem it, or rather, she had no intention of reversing it now. Because Liu Yan finally understood that even if Wang Bai was with her, this Wang Bai was not the Wang Xiaoshu in her memory, and her heart would not be satisfied.

The Wang Xiaoshu she wants can only be found in memory.

"Do you remember the little swallow in the White River Kindergarten twelve years ago?"

As soon as she spoke, Wang Bai's face changed in shock, and he hesitated: "Could it be that you...... Is it a little swallow? ”

"Indeed," Liu Yan smiled and nodded, as if she was talking about an understatement of the past, but the heaviness in her heart was something that only she could experience, "I am that little swallow...... Xiaoshu, the original agreement, I have always kept it in my heart, and I will tell you today, not to change anything, but to let you know that the little swallow has never forgotten Xiaoshu or that agreement. ”

Twelve years have passed, she has never forgotten this matter, thinking of what she had done to her in the past, Wang Bai couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, and felt a trace of remorse.

She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said with relief: "From today onwards, I will forget that agreement, so, Wang Bai, please forget it too." ”

Liu Yan changed back to her original title, no longer calling him Xiaoshu, but calling him Wang Bai, it seems that she really wants to forget that past.

Without waiting for Wang Bai to say anything, she turned around and went upstairs, and when she walked on the stairs, tears burst out of her eyes. Liu Yanzhi said that his first love died today, and he was buried by himself.

She could have used this biggest bargaining chip to win Wang Bai's love, but she didn't do it, because she felt that even then, in exchange for his sympathy.

Starting today, she wants to abandon the past and become a new Liu Yan, so this thorn that has always been in her heart must be removed.

No matter what will happen between her and Wang Bai in the future, it has nothing to do with the little tree and the little swallow in that memory.

The story that belonged to those two children was actually over when the ten-year covenant was not fulfilled. (To be continued......)
