Walking down the corridors and stairs inside the rehab building, the two soon came to a floor where athletes were recovering from medical care. During this period, I met a lot of staff and athletes, and there were many athletes on crutches or in wheelchairs.

Ye Qin was under the leadership of Yang Yao, and as soon as the two of them came to the outside of a ward, they saw a middle-aged man with a melancholy look walking out of it, and the middle-aged man looked up at the two of them, and then he barely showed a smile, and greeted the two: "Yang Yao, and this Ye Qin, why are you two free to come over?" ”

"Ye Qin just came back, and I have time to come over and see He Jun today." Yang Yao replied with a smile.

"Coach Zhao." Ye Qin followed and said hello, he didn't have a deep impression of Zhao Wuyang, it seemed that he had only met the track and field once or twice, but after Yang Yao talked about it, he could also match people.

"Ye Qin, thank you for your hard work. Your performance at the World Junior Championships is very good, so do your best for this Olympics! ”

Zhao Wuyang smiled and patted Ye Qin, he already knew about He Jun's desire to see Ye Qin in advance, and it was Yang Yao who he notified.

"Coach Zhao, how is He Jun?"

Yang Yao asked on the side, the last time he came here, He Jun hadn't started treatment yet, and he didn't know the specific results.

Zhao Wuyang's face darkened slightly when he heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand, "You guys go first to talk to He Jun, I just want to go out." ”

After watching Zhao Wuyang leave, Ye Qin and Yang Yao glanced at each other, their expressions were somewhat nervous, looking at Zhao Wuyang's expression, it was obvious that the effect was not ideal, and it was likely to be the worst result.

Entering the door, Ye Qin found that it was a relatively spacious recovery room, not the appearance of a hospital bed, but in the middle there were some similar high and low bars used to support the body, and someone was being supported by specialized medical staff in the room, doing some stretching movements, or walking exercises, etc.

At this time, Ye Qin and Yang Yao's eyes fell on the window, and a young man in a wheelchair turned his back to everyone and seemed to be looking out of the window, but because of the height of his sitting, it seemed to be somewhat difficult.

"He Jun, look who I brought you!" Yang Yao took the first step, walked in front, and greeted the back figure by the window.

Ye Qin followed behind, looking at the young man who turned around slowly, he only felt a "chuckle" in his heart for a while, a little unbelievable that it was He Jun who was in a wheelchair, and when he thought that He Jun was probably walking a little bit unsmooth, where did he think that He Jun who appeared in front of him, with a heavy plaster on his feet, he still relied on a wheelchair to move.

"Brother Yang, you're here!" He Jun, who turned around, first greeted Yang Yao, then turned his head to look at Ye Qin, but a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Ye Qin, I also know your results in the World Youth Championships, it's really exciting, it's a pity that there is no video, otherwise I really want to see the scene of your game at that time." ”

"Ho...... What are you doing here? ”

Ye Qin looked at the smile on He Jun's face, but he didn't know how to answer, and silently felt that his nose seemed to be a little blocked.

This is an athlete who can enter 10 seconds and 5 seconds in 100 meters, and 200 meters can be used in 21 seconds, but now he can only travel in a wheelchair, Ye Qin has also heard about many athletes who have retired from injury and illness, including Nie Fangping in his usual training, he has repeatedly paid attention to it, he himself has also had some overtraining, slight muscle strain, or because of non-standard running movements, spikes scratched calves. These are just small problems that can be recovered in three or two days, or even the next day, and this is the first time that Ye Qin has learned that the athlete he is familiar with has such a serious injury, and he is really uncomfortable for a while.

This feeling is for an athlete who is running on his feet on the field, and suddenly seeing this scene, the injury suddenly makes people feel a sense of sadness.

"Ha, it's just that I was careless when I trained." He Jun blinked, seemed to be a little surprised by Ye Qin's performance, pushed the wheelchair to Ye Qin, stretched out his hand and seemed to want to take a picture of the other party, but it didn't feel appropriate, slowly put down his hand, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and laughed, "Don't look at me like this, it's not that serious, I'm already arthroscopic surgery on my left knee, if I recover well, I will definitely have to go to the stadium to have a good fight with you in the future, you kid, why did you quietly break the national record, I've been working hard for this for a long time, Right, Brother Yang? ”

"Hey, what are you doing with me?" Yang Yao touched his nose beside him, "I've worked longer than you, and I'm closer to the national record!" ”

"Yes, Brother Yang, the national record has been broken, you are the most melancholy person, and the title of the first person in the national men's 200 meters cannot be kept." He Jun laughed heartily, he and Yang Yao were opponents and teammates in last year's National Championships, as well as the World Championships and Asian Championships later, and they had a good relationship.

He Junren himself is good, and Yang Yao is an enthusiastic big brother of the track and field team, and the two often joke in private, otherwise Yang Yao would not have made an appointment with Chen Jian at the City Games last year, and he went to watch He Jun's competition.

Seeing that the two were making fun of themselves, Ye Qin smiled, "Then I'll wait for you to break my record, I still have 400 meters to continue to work hard anyway." ”

He and He Jun are not particularly familiar, they are a few years younger than him, but they are both young people in the end, and Yang Yao's words, the two of them had contact with the Xinzhuang training base last year, and there is no sense of alienation when they talk.

"Yes, I remember that Coach Nie said that your main event is 400 meters, how can your current score of 200 be better than 400, do you still have to try to run 100 meters when you go back?" Yang Yao seemed to remember something when he heard this, and shouted along.

"That's it, Ye Qin, you broke the national record of 200 meters by running 400 meters, so we have no place to put the faces of athletes in the 1200 meters." He Jun, who was in a wheelchair, also laughed and screamed, and between his eyebrows, his expression was bright, as if the other party had not laughed like this for a long time.

"Then wait until I practice starting and accelerating, and break the 100-meter record."

"Haha, you have the courage, next time I will take you to run a run with Chen Jian and win him first."

……

The three of them stood by the window and talked casually, without too much restraint, although there was a difference in age and they were not particularly familiar with each other before, but it seemed that because of this identity of sprinters, there was not much estrangement between them.

During the period, Yang Yao could be heard talking about the opponents he met in the Asian Games, talking about the 200-meter star of Japan, with a strong sense of unwillingness and wanting to chase in his tone, and Ye Qin talked to a few people about the black teenager in Jamaica who met in the World Junior Championships, and talked about Andrew Howe, who met Italy with great physical fitness and won the World Youth Long Jump and 200-meter double championship.

He Jun would talk about the interesting things about his training, the nervousness of the competition when he met Yang Yao for the first time, and the Shuangqing City where he grew up, talking about the hot pot there, and having the opportunity to invite Ye Qin and Yang Yao to taste it, etc.

Time passed unconsciously, and when several people chatted about training, competition, life, and the arena, He Juncai suddenly sighed softly.

"He Jun, to be honest, is there any surgery that will make you recover?" Yang Yao stood aside and frowned slightly, Ye Qin and He Jun are familiar to him, to be honest, since entering the national team, although he has always been regarded as a big brother, he can really chat so casually and freely, there is nothing inhibited, and it is really rare.

Thinking of the look of He Jun's coach Zhao Wuyang when he entered the door just now, Yang Yao always had some lingering shadows in his heart.

Ye Qin stood aside and heard Yang Yao ask like this, his eyes were also fixed on He Jun's face, although from the time he and Yang Yao appeared to the present, He Jun has always had a relaxed smile on his face, but outside the words, Ye Qin also vaguely felt that He Jun's injury was not as serious as he thought, but I am afraid it will not be easy.

He Jun sat in a wheelchair, bowed his head and was silent for a moment, the smile on his face gradually faded, and said with a little bitterness: "The best result is probably similar to ordinary people, no crutches and no lameness, but it may not be possible to continue the game." Specifically, let's wait until after surgery to see how we recover! ”

Ye Qin and Yang Yao were silent when they heard this, especially Ye Qin, who felt even more panicked in their hearts.

From the time he entered high school to the time when he practiced sprinting changed his life and that of his family, he really couldn't imagine what serious the consequences would be if he couldn't run.

Yan Ning told him that sports change lives, and Nie Fangping asked him not to live up to the runway.

And Ye Qin suddenly understood the price at this moment.

If you want to change your life through sports, then in the process of this change, it will not be smooth sailing, and you may pay more than you think.

Will you regret it?

Maybe, but since I have chosen, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll keep gritting my teeth and rushing straight to the end.

"Brother Yang, can you let me talk to Ye Qin?" The three of them were silent for a moment, and He Jun suddenly raised his head and said to Yang Yao.

Yang Yao looked at He Jun, then at Ye Qin next to him, and nodded, "Okay!" ”

"Come, Yechin, push me out, let's walk around the other place." He Jun greeted Ye Qin with a smile.

Ye Qin followed behind He Jun, pushed the wheelchair and the two left the recovery room, and wandered aimlessly in the rehabilitation center.

"That's it!"

Before they knew it, the two of them came to a floor-to-ceiling window in the corridor outside the rehabilitation center, and because there was no fence, they could easily look out through the rehabilitation center.

Lush greenery, as well as athletic and basketball courts faintly hidden between buildings and trees in the distance, the outside field is empty at the moment due to the temperature, but it still seems to have a different attraction in the bright sunlight.

"Ye Chin, do you know why I want to see you?" He Jun turned his head to look at Ye Qin, leaned over to look into the distance, and suddenly spoke.

"I don't know." Ye Qin stood behind He Jun and shook his head, and replied honestly.

Everyone chatted happily just now, although the background of growing up is different, but the experience of standing on the track and field and the track allows several people to communicate naturally without obstacles, which is a feeling that Ye Qin did not have before.

At the beginning of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, he could still have a few sports students to talk about this, but with rapid growth, the level of contact was gradually different from ordinary high school students, and after a long time of training and frequent outings, he gradually became a little alienated from many of his former classmates.

But before a few people chatted, although Ye Qin and He Jun knew each other, they were far from being familiar, and they had only met a few times in the arena, so he really didn't understand why He Jun wanted to see him.

"During the time when I was lying in the hospital bed after the injury, I occasionally thought about the City Games and the scene where I played against you in the indoor competition last time." He Jun looked out the window, and his tone seemed to have a sense of reminiscence, "Actually, I wanted to talk to you before, but at that time, everyone was also a competitor in the arena, so it's not easy to say."

Ye Qin, you probably don't know that I went to the World Junior Championships and then came back without even making it to the finals, and I was surprised to hear that a teenager won two medals in the World Junior Sprint Championships. It wasn't until I played against you in the City Games that I really felt that you had a talent and potential that I didn't have.

I'm not surprised that you broke the national record, and when we competed together in the indoor competition this year, I thought you might be going to break the record, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly! ”

"Actually, although I haven't had surgery yet, I probably know that I may not be able to run in the future. This year I want to try my best and see if I can get a chance to play in the Olympics, and you know, the appeal of the Olympics for athletes like us. And it turned out to be, hey, I didn't make it, but you got the 200m and 400m Olympic tickets at the World Junior Championships, and you won a medal at the World Junior Championships last year, and you got a medal at the World Junior Championships this year, you probably don't know, this was what I dreamed of, and they made it happen! ”

"Huh?" Ye Qin scratched his head, listening to He Jun say slowly, he was a little surprised in his heart. He walked all the way, but he didn't expect that he had unconsciously done what many people wanted to do but failed to achieve, including He Jun and Yang Yao.

"So, ah......" He Jun dragged his tone, turned around, and looked at Ye Qin with his eyes, "Ye Qin, do you know, my biggest dream is to win the Olympic gold medal, but I actually gradually realized that my talent is limited, and how difficult it is to compete in world-class large-scale events in sprinting, let alone the Olympic gold medal, or the Asian Games gold medal." But you are different, you are more talented and potential than me and Yang Yao.

It may be a bit laughable to say that, but I still want to ask you something. Since you have achieved so many things that I have not been able to do, please keep working hard and help me achieve my dream of Olympic gold medal! ”
