Zhang Qinghuan had a lot of dreams, and for a while he felt that he was falling in the dark, and the fluttering weightlessness made him feel extremely comfortable, and even had a thought:

Fall, fall.

After being burned to the ground, it is also a good destination to be blown away in the air by the wind.

But then he pulled out of this dark environment and went back to his childhood. He sat on the back seat of his father's 28 bicycle, shrunk his thin body behind him, the cold wind and cold rain in front of him were blocked by his father's wide body, he stuck to his father's back, and he could still feel the warmth of that body, and heard his father's panting voice: "Is it cold, Huanhuan?" We're almost home, we're almost home......"

Just when he felt at ease, he suddenly returned to that day. After the game, he received a call from his agent, Uncle Yong, in a low tone and a hoarse voice, told him that his father died of a sudden illness on the way from the capital to watch his game away.

He still remembers his reaction at the time, he had just completed a hat-trick of assists in the game and was voted the best on the spot, he received the call with a triumphant smile on his face, his mind was still a little unturned, and he asked Uncle Yong if he was joking with himself......

Of course, he learned later that it was not a joke.

He dreamed again that he had drunk himself in the bar, allowing the woman next to him, who knew his identity, to cling to her hot carcass.

I dreamed that he was sweating and panting on a woman.

I also dreamed that he was sweating and panting on the football field.

I dreamed that my father was very dissatisfied and yelled at him, "What did you just kick?" Why don't you pop the ball inside? Are you afraid of him? If you're afraid of him, you'll be finished! Zhang Qinghuan! ”

I also dreamed that my father touched his little brain and smiled: "You played well today, Dad will take you to eat dumplings!" ”

He also dreamed that after he was notified of his selection for the national team for the first time, he called his father excitedly, but his father apologized to him on the phone: "Son, do you hate Dad? Daddy has been practicing with you from **......"

"Dad, what are you talking about? Why should I hate you? ”

"Because Dad pinned his unattainable dreams on you, even at the cost of changing your life...... I read on the Internet that if parents can't do it, they shouldn't ask their children to do it, let alone impose their own lives on their children...... I think they have a point......"

"Dad, in which WeChat group did you read the chicken soup?"

"It's not chicken soup. I really think so...... Your father doesn't have much talent for football, but he dreams all day that our Chinese team will participate in the World Cup...... So I thought, why don't I train my son to be an international? Isn't it over for my son to realize his father's dream? Now that you've finally become a national team player, Dad is happy and a little worried, you know how much pressure it is to play for the national team, and you have the expectations of 1.4 billion people......"

"Dad, are you beating around the bush afraid that I will float if I am selected for the national team? Rest assured. Dad, I helped you make your dream come true! Isn't it the World Cup? Let's go together! ”

"Haha, I'm relieved to have your words! By the way, go to the national team to help your dad ask for Qin Lin's autograph, I'll give it away......"

"Dad, your son's signature can also be given away!"

"Your kid's signature will be talked about after you really take Qin Lin's class!"

……

“…… In other words, your left foot...... Basically lost the function of kicking the ball......"

"Football is very honest. As much as you usually give, you will gain in the competition. You usually don't pay, you keep overdrafting, and you have to pay it back in the end! Three years, how many three years can you have in your career? You've been desperately overdrawn for three years, and the price is your entire future career! Do you still want to play? You don't have a ball to kick Zhang Qinghuan!! ”

……

Later, Zhang Qinghuan finally jumped out of various dreams, but he was once again in the darkness with no light and no sound, and kept falling.

He knew he was dreaming, and he was now desperately hoping that it was all just a nightmare.

When he woke up, he was lying on the bed in his bedroom at home, his mother went to work, and his father was busy making breakfast for himself in the kitchen. Then Uncle Yong called him and said that he was negotiating a new contract with the club, and this time he had to make a big contract so that his family could afford to buy a house in the fourth ring road.

The early morning sun shone on the small bedroom, and he felt extremely relieved when he hung up Uncle Yong's phone and heard his father shouting for him to get up outside.

There was no spinal arteriovenous malformation, no three-year indulgence, and no early retirement.

He can also run with the ball on the pitch, break through and turn his opponents around.

If you could turn back time......

If it's all a nightmare......

If all this is just a prank......

If......

Suddenly, Zhang Qinghuan felt that his feet were touching something, and then the weightlessness disappeared, and he felt a little uncomfortable - the endless fall finally ...... It's over.

He opened his eyes, and the morning sun poured in through the two windows, accompanied by a cool breeze, gently blowing the curtains.

He is still lying in the VIP ward of the Affiliated Hospital of Jincheng Institute of Physical Education.

It's not a nightmare.

※※※

In Yang Hua's office, the team's head coach Zhao Kangming, the club's general manager Dong Wen, the chief physician Yang Hua, and Yong Jun were all looking at the other person in the room.

Zhao Kangming was saying to him: "Reporter Chen, when you talk to him about retirement in a while, turn the topic towards reflection, let's listen to how Zhang Qinghuan thinks about the ridiculous things in his past." ”

Chen Jianyu said: "Understood. If he reflects on what he has done in the past and feels unbearable, it means that he can still be saved. If he breaks the jar and doesn't care, it means that it is completely finished. ”

Zhao Kangming and Dong Wen both nodded, while Yongjun remained silent.

"Shall we go then?" Yang Hua stood up and asked.

※※※

Sun Juan was on duty in the nurse's station, and she saw several people rushing out of Director Yang's office, and then passed in front of her and walked straight to the ward where Zhang Qinghuan was.

The sound of their footsteps sounded densely in the corridor, and somehow, it reminded Sun Juan of the scenes of those Japanese workplace dramas she had watched.

They all wore suits and leather shoes, and their expressions were serious, as if they were going to judge someone.

She was really curious about what they would say to Zhang Qinghuan, but she couldn't follow, not even eavesdropping.

She's just a trainee nurse, if she is really caught, what is it if she is kicked out before the internship period is over, how embarrassing it is to say it?

So she could only try to suppress her inner curiosity, and planned to wait until they were gone, and then go and look secretly, like she had done yesterday afternoon.

※※※

Sitting on the bed, Zhang Qinghuan looked at the five people standing in front of him.

The general manager of the club, the head coach of the team, the chief physician, the reporter accompanying the team, and Uncle Yong.

This battle ......

He remembered what Uncle Yong said to him yesterday.

This should be the time for the club to make a retirement declaration, right?

What should have come is still coming.

"Zhang Qinghuan, since you were injured, fans and the media are very concerned about your injury, so we invited Reporter Chen to do a simple interview for you, which can be regarded as a response to the current rumors and reassure those who care about you." Dong Wen, general manager of the club, said.

Chen Jianyu smiled at Zhang Qinghuan and nodded: "Don't be nervous, this interview is published in written form, and there is no video." I just ask, you just have to express what you really think in your heart. ”

Yongjun had been watching from the side, and he found that Zhang Qinghuan just nodded and said that he would cooperate, and he did not suddenly protest or refuse to cooperate with emotion......

Seems to have resigned himself to his fate?

He sighed slightly inwardly.

"Then let's start ......" Chen Jianyu sat on Zhang Qinghuan's bedside chair, crossed Erlang's legs, put the spread notebook on his lap, held the notebook in one hand, and held the pen in the other. This injury led to retirement, did you think about this outcome before? ”

He went straight to the point, went straight to the point, didn't go around in circles with Zhang Qinghuan at all, and used even some aggressive questioning to hit Zhang Qinghuan's heart, so that he didn't have time to think and disguise under this aggressive offensive, and showed his true thoughts to the greatest extent.

As an experienced journalist, he certainly knows what to do to complete the tasks given to him by the club.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Qinghuan didn't fall into his rhythm.

"Who said I was retiring?" He asked abruptly.

Not only Chen Jianyu was stunned for a moment, the pen in his hand froze in place, but everyone else present also looked at Zhang Qinghuan with surprised eyes.

In this kind of stunnedness, Zhang Qinghuan turned against the guest, and he stared at Yang Hua: "Doctor Yang, did you say before, it's not that I must not be able to play, but if I want to play, I will take huge risks?" ”

"Uh, yes......"

"In other words, I can still play football now, but the chance of injury is higher than others?" He asked again.

Yang Hua reacted, and he hurriedly explained: "It's not ordinarily tall, it's a very tall kind, that is...... You can play a game without having to fight against the opponent, but if you take the ball and change direction, it may lead to a recurrence of the old injury, and then it will be really difficult to save the gods......"

"Then let's wait until it relapses again." Zhang Qinghuan waved his hand.

"Huh?" Yang Hua was stunned.

Zhang Qinghuan sat up from the bed, straightened his waist, looked at everyone present, including Uncle Yong, and said, "I don't plan to retire just now, I still have to play football." I don't want to just throw in the towel because it's not over yet, unless I hear the final whistle. If I do have a recurrence of my old injury, it's my life, and I admit it. But as long as that moment doesn't come, I'm going to keep playing. ”

Hearing him say this, a room full of people looked at each other, especially Chen Jianyu, he never thought that Zhang Qinghuan would snatch the lead in his interview and be anti-guest-oriented!

He turned his head a little confused and glanced at the few people standing next to him - comrades, this is not the same as the script that was promised!

Yongjun looked at Zhang Qinghuan blankly, but he didn't expect that after only one night, the Zhang Qinghuan he saw again would be different from yesterday.

Zhao Kangming laughed: "Isn't that good?" Originally, we wanted to know the answer. And now the answer has been told by him himself, and we are saved from scrutinizing from his answer. ”

After speaking, he took a step forward, walked to Zhang Qinghuan, looked at him who was a little confused because of his words, and asked: "Don't say pretty things, to be honest, with the way you treated football before, I think you better stop playing as soon as possible, torture yourself and torture everyone." If you get injured again, you'll probably have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life. And if you retire in time now, you can still get out of the ward on your own, and it will not affect your normal life in the future. Or think about it seriously and retire, huh? ”

Zhang Qinghuan, who was sitting on the bed, looked up at his head coach, the coach who had great expectations for him and named him on loan from Tenglong.

He still remembers when he first joined the shining stars, the kind coach put his arm around his shoulders, squeezed hard, and said to himself: "As long as you play well, Qinghuan." I promise to get you back to the top! ”

At that time, he was full of confidence in himself.

As a result, now he is persuading himself to retire and stop struggling.

He really broke the heart of this manager who is known for his tolerance and kindness.

But even if the head coach is already disappointed in himself, Zhang Qinghuan does not plan to give up.

Because at this time, the whole world has already given up on him, but if he really gives up, it will be really over......

He alone could never give up on himself.

So he shook his head and said very firmly: "Director Zhao, I know that I made you very sad, and I also know that you definitely don't believe what I say now...... I can't prove to you every word I say. But I'm not going to retire unless my body really doesn't allow me to play anymore. ”

Zhao Kangming looked at him and shook his head slowly: "Why bother? When you are in good health, don't work hard and don't cherish opportunities. Now that people are gone, lying on the hospital bed, they can't walk the road, but they have to insist on not giving up...... Why bother? Do you really have to be in a wheelchair to be willing? ”

Zhang Qinghuan raised his head to meet the head coach's gaze and nodded: "Yes, unless I am in a wheelchair." ”

"Why?" Zhang Kangming asked expressionlessly.

"I still have a right ...... Other people's promises have not been fulfilled. I didn't want to disappoint him and think that I was a man of his word. So, Director Zhao, unless I am in a wheelchair as you say, I will not retire now. I'm afraid that when I meet him, I'll be ashamed that I didn't do my best to fulfill my promise to him. ”

When Zhang Qinghuan and Zhao Kangming were one-on-one, Yongjun stood on the side the whole time and did not speak, his eyes were always on Zhang Qinghuan's face.

When Zhao Kangming was about to say something again, he stood up and said, "Okay, Director Zhao, it's already okay, haven't you gotten the answer you want?" ”

Zhang Qinghuan turned his head strangely to look at his Uncle Yong, puzzled by what he said.

Zhao Kangming, who was originally very serious, also laughed when he heard this: "I think I got it." ”

Zhang Qinghuan turned his head to look at him again, looking confused.

"Zhang Qinghuan, let me ask you one last time, are you sure you don't want to retire, don't give up, and want to return to the football field?"

Zhang Qinghuan nodded: "Yes!" ”

"Still playing a few games like before, and then starting to relapse into the old ways, going to nightclubs and drinking bars to have fun?"

Zhang Qinghuan shook his head: "No!" ”

Zhao Kangming nodded: "You're right, I really won't believe even a word you say now." I only look at your performance, Zhang Qinghuan. It's less than two months until the end of the season, and when you recover from your injury, I'm afraid it's only a month. The club will look at your training and game performance over the course of the month and decide whether or not to buy you out. It doesn't matter if you say anything nice now, anyway, if your performance doesn't satisfy us at that time, then you should go back where you came from, and it doesn't matter to us what happens to you after that. ”

When he said this, Dong Wen, as the representative of the club, nodded right behind. Every time Zhao Kangming said a word, he nodded his head and told Zhang Qinghuan that this was exactly what the club meant.

Zhang Qinghuan said: "This is as it should be, and I am really not qualified to ask you to believe my words now......

"Good." Zhao Kangming nodded, then turned his head to Yang Hua and said, "Doctor Yang, please ...... excuse me."

Yang Hua protested: "What is me again? ”

"No way, Doctor Yang, you are an authority in this area, we said I was afraid that this kid wouldn't believe it......" Zhao Kangming pointed at Zhang Qinghuan.

Zhang Qinghuan, who was pointed, looked at Yang Hua with confused eyes again.

I don't understand what they're talking about.

It's obviously Chinese, and he understands what every word means, but why can't he understand the combination?

Yang Hua sighed: "Count the balls......"

He looked at Zhang Qinghuan: "This, Zhang Qinghuan, before I explain the situation to you next, I hope you can remain calm and patient, and at the same time don't forget what you said to yourself just now......"

The expression on Zhang Qinghuan's face became solemn: "Do you mean that I don't even have the qualifications to return to the court?" ”

Yang Hua shook his head: "It's not ......"

※※※

"Juan'er, Juan'er!"

Sun Juan was shouted several times by the head nurse before she came back to her senses: "Huh? Head Nurse ......"

"That's not going to work, Juan'er. You are so confused, if you are seen by Director Yang, you will be scolded! Some chubby head nurses crossed their hands on their hips and lectured.

Sun Juan lowered her head: "I'm sorry, head nurse, I didn't mean to......"

"Do you have something on your mind?" The head nurse asked.

"That, I saw Director Yang take several people to Zhang Qinghuan's ward and didn't come out for a long time......"

"You were really hooked away by that Zhang Qinghuan!" The head nurse sighed when she heard this, "They didn't come out if they went in and didn't come out, what does it have to do with you?" ”

"No, I'm just curious, curious about what they said in it, I can feel that Zhang Qinghuan's mood has changed a lot in the past two days, it's the kind of abnormal change......"

"Zhang Qinghuan has nothing to do with you!" The head nurse said solemnly. "He'll stay in the hospital with us for a few days, and when the time comes, he'll be discharged from the hospital. People are celebrities, drive sports cars, live in mansions, who are you? Do you think you can get to know him by taking care of him when he was in the hospital? Watch less idol dramas, and there are all kinds of messes in my head all day long......"

"Oh......" Sun Juan lowered her head aggrievedly, she didn't want to have anything to do with Zhang Qinghuan, but she was really curious, she wanted to know what happened to him, and she guessed the identity of the people who came to visit Zhang Qinghuan these days, and always felt that Zhang Qinghuan was probably not a simple injury, otherwise the high-level of the club would have nothing to do all day long? Always run this way......

But she didn't tell the head nurse about her guesses, for fear that the other party would say that she had watched too many idol dramas.

※※※

Zhang Qinghuan looked at everyone in the room dumbfounded, and his expression had been maintained for almost a minute.

Everyone in the room was a little hairy.

Especially Zhao Kangming, because Zhang Qinghuan was watching him most of the time.

He felt that he really should bring this kid Hulai, because then he could let Hulai attract firepower......

Yongjun was also a little worried when he saw Zhang Qinghuan's reaction after knowing the truth.

After all, after experiencing the ups and downs of life, it would be a lie to tell you about the ups and downs, in fact, you are fine at all, and you can return to the court alive after ten days and half a month...... It's not good to change anyone, so what will happen in your heart, who knows?

What if it explodes?

What if I find out it's a scam and regret it?

What if you give up on yourself under the pretext of being deceived?

In fact, this is the most critical time.

After all, the "voices" that Zhang Qinghuan confided were all based on the fact that he knew that his career could not be continued, and the so-called "people are dying and their words are good".

But what if you know you can't die?

Will he still recognize what he said?

So Yongjun asked out loud: "Qinghuan, are you okay?" ”

Then he saw Zhang Qinghuan suddenly twitch the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Then he grinned and laughed.

And laughed louder and louder, laughing as if no one was around, and at last he leaned back on the bed, and his whole body was shaking.

Seeing him like this, everyone who was already in doubt panicked even more, and they looked at each other, a little helpless.

In the end, Yongjun stepped forward and wanted to hold Zhang Qinghuan, but before his hand touched him, he stopped laughing maniacally, but still with a fierce smile on his face, he shook his head and said, "Uncle Yong, do you know? I don't know how many times I've thought about it in the past two days, and I hope it's a nightmare...... But every time I opened my eyes, I found myself still lying in this room...... So how disappointed I was then, how happy I am now......"

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhao Kangming again: "Director Zhao, I won't say anything more, just watch my performance when the time comes." ”

Hearing him say this, Zhao Kangming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces softened significantly.

It's true that no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, but looking at it now, Zhang Qinghuan didn't become angry because he found out that he had been deceived, so he broke the jar and broke it......

That's a good thing.

At least so far, Hulay's plan should have been considered a success.

Thinking of Hu Lai, Zhao Kangming was really emotional.

Sure enough, this kid always surprises people......

"Speaking of which, when you get back to the team, you actually have the most to thank one person." Zhao Kangming said with a smile.

"Who?" Zhang Qinghuan was surprised, what does it have to do with his teammates in the team? None of them like themselves very much......

"Hulai." Zhao Kangming simply told Zhang Qinghuan what happened. “…… To be honest, I did want to give up on you, but Hulay convinced me. He told me that since we are a team, we shouldn't give up on anyone, so when he heard that you were injured, he came up with this way to make you wake up......"

When Zhang Qinghuan heard this name, he was not surprised, and even had a feeling of "it was really him".

Because just before he was injured, he had repeatedly blocked himself at the training base for this reason.

It's just that at that time, he thought that Hulai had water in his head and was just using himself for fun.

Now that I think about it, I misunderstood him.

Zhang Qinghuan restrained his smile and fell into deep thought.
