In the quiet living room, the lighting is very soft, and a song from the East is pouring out in the speaker at the moment. The red wine in the glass has long since lost its ripples, and the stars in the night sky outside the window are even more blurry at the moment.

The night was already a little deep.

Looking up, the quaint clock hanging on the wall now has the hour hand pointing to the middle of 10 and 11. However, Han Bin, who was sitting quietly on the sofa at the moment, was neatly dressed, and there was not even a trace of sleepiness on his face except for the deep sadness.

In just half an hour, Han Bin had already looked up at the clock hanging quietly on the wall countless times. Anyone may be able to see that Han Bin is anxious about what is going on at the moment.

Yes, there was indeed something that made Han Bin feel very anxious and irritable at this time.

He was waiting for Wang Yu to come back, he was thinking about whether to tell him about his concerns after seeing Wang Yu for a while, he was thinking about how he would tell him about this matter for a while.

Earlier, Han Bin received an international call at the end of watching the game in the stadium. The call was from within China, and the content of the call was something that Han Bin had been deeply worried about for a long time.

After hanging up the phone, Han Bin not only got up immediately and rushed back to his villa in Houston, but also asked the accompanying public relations of the Rockets to inform Wang Yu that he would rush back to see him immediately after the game. Originally, the female publicist didn't want to deal with Han Bin's seemingly unreasonable request, but seeing Han Bin's serious and solemn expression when he spoke, the female publicist didn't know what was going on, so she had to nod and agree.

When the clock hanging on the wall rang at 00:00 on time, Han Bin finally lost his little patience, immediately picked up the wine glass and drank the liquid in the glass, then got up and strode to the balcony.

Although it is 10 midnight at this moment, the bustling city of Houston is still brightly lit. Looking at the little neon in the distance, Han Bin suddenly smiled bitterly after a while, but then he kicked heavily on the guardrail in front of him.

"You carnivores know how to get something for nothing, and you fucking want to snatch food from me by dirty means." Han Bin gritted his teeth and scolded fiercely.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of the door closing behind him, Han Bin turned his face to look, and said with a smile: "Why did you come back so late?" ”

"Something went wrong, I came back on another flight."

Wang Yu said and threw the backpack on his shoulder on the sofa, looked up and asked, "What happened to call me back in such a hurry?" ”

"Let's not talk about that."

Han Bin turned around and walked into the house, poured himself another glass of red wine, and said with a smile: "By the way, I played a good game today, did you win in the end?" ”

"Won by 3 points."

Wang Yu leaned lazily on the sofa, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and said, "Let's talk about what happened first." ”

"You take a look at this first."

In fact, Han Bin already knew about Wang Yu's performance tonight from the overwhelming reports, and seeing that he didn't want to mention it again, he immediately changed the topic, handed over a document, and said with a smile: "How is it, haven't you seen such a text for a long time?" ”

"From China?"

Wang Yu casually glanced at the Chinese characters on the document, couldn't help frowning slightly, raised his head and said, "I won't read it, or you tell me directly, what is the specific content?" ”

"The backgrounds of the two of us were dug up, and they asked the two of us to go back immediately and negotiate a solution, otherwise, they will sue the FIBA and you will not be able to play in any professional leagues from now on." Han Bin smiled bitterly.

"It's ridiculous, whether I play or not has something to do with them." Wang Yu slammed the document in his hand on the coffee table, and said angrily: "I think they just want to share a little benefit." ”

"You're right, they're legitimate bandits."

Han Bin smiled and nodded, poured the red wine in the cup little by little on the documents scattered on the coffee table as he spoke, and then said in a low voice: "But there is no way, you don't forget what happened to Wang Zhizhi back then." ”

"I'm not afraid, it's a big deal to let others say I'm not patriotic, it's nothing." Wang Yu stared fiercely at the documents on the coffee table, and the faint red seemed to seep into his eyes little by little.

"I know you're not afraid, but I'm not even more afraid."

Han Bin sat heavily on the sofa as he spoke, his tone suddenly became a little low, and he paused and continued: "But our family will be afraid, they will not be able to stand the condemnation of public opinion." Don't forget, your mother is still living in your hometown. ”

"So what do they mean exactly? What else do they want besides money? Hearing Han Bin say the word mother, Wang Yu seemed to be instantly stabbed in his weakness, and immediately lowered his head. After a moment of silence, Wang Yu asked in a low voice.

"If I'm not mistaken, they want you to publicly admit that you are Chinese, and then join the Chinese men's basketball team unconditionally." Han Bin smiled bitterly.

"Senior, if I don't agree, do you think they will really do it to my mother?" Wang Yu asked with a wry smile.

"Yes."

Han Bin nodded heavily, then reached out and patted Wang Yu's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "You and I actually know their methods very well, even if you don't dare to come openly, they will use the media to lash out at you, do you think your mother will bear it then?" ”

"When are we leaving?" The illusion in Wang Yu's heart was shattered, but his voice calmed down instantly.

"Tomorrow." Han Bin smiled bitterly and explained, "If you don't want your mother to be affected too much, the sooner we go back, the better." ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect this day to really come." Wang Yu sneered and grabbed the wine bottle in front of him, and immediately drank it after speaking.

"Okay, you get some rest early. I'll have someone settle on the team's side. ”

Han Bin didn't stop Wang Yu, who was binge drinking, and stood up after speaking, and said, "Remember, everything will listen to me when the time comes, don't show your emotions, okay?" ”

"Don't worry, I've already died once, and seeing them Nasir won't be anything but sick to me." As he spoke, Wang Yu had already finished drinking the red wine in the bottle, and then fell heavily on the sofa.

"Then you can rest, I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning." Han Bin patted Wang Yu with a wry smile, turned around and walked out after speaking.

The inexplicable oriental song in the speaker was still ringing faintly at the moment, and after a long time, Wang Yu seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, so he sat up violently, grabbed the empty wine bottle on the coffee table and smashed it towards the stereo.

Boom...

In the roar, the shards of glass splashed all over the sky, but the inexplicable oriental song still sounded faintly in the somewhat broken sound, as if it was like a demon that was entangled in the angry oriental man.

The next moment, Wang Yu finally collapsed on the sofa in a gloomy manner.

Beijing International Airport:

With a roar, the plane slowly stopped. Although it was the first time in seven years that he set foot on this homeland again, there was no joy or excitement on the faces of Han Bin and Wang Yu at this moment.

Some are just indifferent;

Some are just cold.

Gently brushing aside the many little boys and girls wearing red scarves, Wang Yu and Han Bin glanced at each other, and then walked over to the group of middle-aged men in crisp and bright suits not far ahead.

"Han Bin, you are so disagreeable, why did you leave without a sound for so many years, do you know that our CBA league is a lot more deserted without your purple unicorn men's basketball team, haha." A balding middle-aged man** stepped forward with a smile, and grabbed Han Bin's hands as he spoke, as if he was as cordial as an old friend who hadn't seen him for decades.

"Thank you Chairman Zhang for your concern, Han Bin doesn't dare to take your wonderful compliment." Han Bin smiled faintly, turned his face to Wang Yu on the side and said, "Wang Yu, come and meet Chairman Zhang of the Chinese Basketball Association." ”

"Are you Wang Yu?"

The bald man didn't wait for Wang Yu to speak, he immediately transferred his enthusiasm and said with a smile: "I have watched your previous games, and you played very well." I'm very sad to see you leaving, and it's so exciting to see you back on the pitch today. Sure enough, we are the good sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, and we really live up to the motherland's years of cultivation for you. ”

Looking at the disgusting smiling face of this bald man, Wang Yu didn't want to deal with him, but seeing Han Bin hinting at himself repeatedly, Wang Yu finally reached out and shook him gently.

The bald man seemed to feel that Wang Yu was very disgusted with him, so he didn't dare to be bored anymore, and immediately let go of his hands after shaking it lightly.

"Alright, don't stand here stupidly. You have worked hard all the way, hurry up to the hotel we arranged for the two of you to rest, and I will give you two a good reception in the evening. After the bald man finished speaking, he waved his hand at the crowd behind him, and immediately pulled Han Bin and strode out.

The heads and brains who came to pick up the plane today originally wanted to say a few words to Wang Yu, but when they saw Wang Yu's cold gaze, they immediately retreated one by one.

The cool breeze slowly hit, and in the midst of talking and laughing, Han Bin and Wang Yu were surrounded by everyone and gradually moved away. This seemingly lively scene makes people feel that there seems to be a very strange feeling in it.

………

………

After returning to the hotel for a short rest, Han Bin categorically refused all the activities arranged by the Chinese Basketball Association for Wang Yu on the grounds of time urgency, including physical examinations, press conferences, oaths to the national flag and the so-called welcome dinner.

Han Bin didn't care about the displeasure on the faces of the heads, and even more sneered at the righteousness of the country in their mouths, because Han Bin knew the true faces of these guys, and he didn't want to talk to these social moths full of 'benevolence, righteousness and morality', when Han Bin walked into the conference room with the documents he had already prepared in his hand and was about to start the so-called negotiations with those garbage, Wang Yu had already quietly got on the train and got on the train to his hometown.

Looking at the scenery speeding by outside the car window, Wang Yu's eyes were already slightly red.

When the long-lost but very familiar singing voice came from the earphones, Wang Yu couldn't hold back anymore and finally shed two lines of hot tears in a daze.

Relatives, lovers, sweetness, bitterness, redemption, guilt, how many past events resurface, how many beloved ones are no longer around. In tears, Wang Yu trembled and took out his mobile phone, and then gently dialed the number containing a lot of guilt.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

"Mom, I'm back..."

The voice of a familiar, kind, and loving voice sounded, making the thousand words that Wang Yu poured into his mouth instantly turn into a choked call.

Hearing this long-lost call, after a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, a woman's mournful howl rang out.

"Ahh O my wretched son..."

In a trance, it was as if something and blood had suddenly shattered the full ground......

(Three shifts a day, the first shift today.) ）
