15. There seemed to be light in his eyes

Most of the news about Qi Nan was published three or four years ago.

The screen full of "genius", "new star", and "light of the national swimming team" held him high in the sky.

The latest piece of news is that he was escorted to Kyoto Sports University with an amazing result of winning the junior category of the invitational tournament and breaking the domestic record.

Then there was two years of silence.

She remembered what someone had said to her.

"Tu Tu, the profession of sports athletes, looks glamorous, some people cheer, some people cheer, but in the end, only the champion can take these, how many people have worked hard for many years, but they are on the edge of the light, and in the end they can only go into the darkness to do behind the scenes, and even completely lose hope and leave the industry, and some short-lived geniuses, they are even more pitiful, they have tasted the taste of cheers, but in the end no one cares, and even slandered by the public, this kind of gap is more uncomfortable than death."

Closed the forum in a panic, Zhen Di took a deep breath and tried to relax, returned to the commentary platform, Group B was over, and the list of eight people who entered the finals was out.

Group B played even worse, and Qi Nan finally entered the final with the fifth place in the group and the eighth overall score.

Zhen Di had a feeling that she had survived.

The final is played tomorrow.

When she got off the commentary platform, she and Zhao Jia said goodbye, and she didn't even notice Lin Youxi, who hurried back after the commentary, and bit her lip and went straight to the athletes' lounge.

The door was ajar, and in the distance, she heard Bai He shouting.

"No, not to mention the bad results of those people in the second team, we haven't run in at all, so it's better to let some of them go to the relay race, it's better to just abstain."

The captain also spoke in a deep voice.

"Although Qi Nan ...... But the tacit understanding between the four of us in usual training is still there, and Qi Nan's results are also good, so now he will be replaced...... It's really not good. ”

Zhen Di was slightly stunned, and carefully leaned against the door without making a sound.

Substitutions are also taboo for any team in the competition, even for Kyoto Sports University, which has won the men's medley relay at the Youth Games for three consecutive years.

The coach ignored Bai He and the captain's words, just looked at the boy sitting on the sofa and was silent for a moment with a straight face, and made a decision.

"I know your level, it is difficult to change the gold medal, but it is not a problem to keep a medal, I can't bet on Qi Nan's state, in the afternoon of the 4*100 relay preliminaries, he will be replaced by the second team, and if there is any objection, change it together!"

Bai He raised his foot and kicked the wall of the locker room hard, not knowing who he was angry with.

In the tense atmosphere of this room, Qi Nan stood up, his expression could not show the frustration or anger of being replaced, but he spoke lightly.

"It's me who is not in the right state that affects you...... Come on, everyone. ”

Qi Nan lowered his eyes, his thin lips opened and closed, and the room was silent, and after saying this, he slowly turned around and walked out.

"Qi Nan."

Zhen Di suddenly stopped him.

She didn't know why, she didn't even know what to say, she just didn't want to see him leave alone.

Qi Nan's footsteps paused, and then slowly left.

Zhen Di watched him walk into the passage from a distance, and a man turned out of nowhere.

The young man, with white skin and gold-rimmed glasses, followed with a serious face.

In the next two days of competition, Bai He and others also played mediocre, and finally only won two golds, one silver and two bronzes.

One gold medal came from the 400m freestyle final champion in Qinan the next day.

Although the Kyoto Sports University swimming team did not return home, it did not continue the glory of winning gold medals in the Youth Games in recent years.

A week later, after the Youth Games ended, Zhen Di returned to the classroom, and was praised by the professional teacher to transform into a fire-roasted drill gopher.

Chu Jun secretly elbowed her, and Zhen Di answered absentmindedly.

"Dabao and I are inviting you to a matchmaker's dinner tonight?"

This sentence is slightly more informative.

"Dabao is?"

"My boyfriend."

"You mean?"

"You and Liu Jingyu."

"What is the matchmaker's meal?"

"Thanks to the boyfriend you asked Liu Jingyu to introduce me to learn boxing."

“......”

What the heck? She has only been away for a week, why was she forced to stuff a mouthful of dog food unexpectedly?

Zhen Di died and refused to egg.

Chu Jun affectionately held Zhen Di's arm until he saw the oncoming hill-like man, and instantly threw the dizzy Zhen Di to Liu Jingyu's side like a rag, the little girl was delicate and frail, and swayed around like a reed.

Liu Jingyu hurriedly supported her.

Along the way, Zhen Di kept avoiding Liu Jingyu's fiery gaze in the intimate entanglement like a little milk dog who only recognized the owner, and when he arrived at the hotel, he was physically and mentally exhausted.

When the meal came, Liu Jingyu wiped the tableware carefully, and put them in front of Zhen Di one by one beautifully with a lewd look on their faces with a silent smile on the two opposites, and asked casually.

"Zhen Di, have you watched my game?"

Zhen Di didn't think much about it, and replied casually while biting her chopsticks.

"No, I just watched the swim team play."

Liu Jingyu seemed to be relieved, but he also had a dark face and was a little depressed.

Zhen Di is a kind child, and he felt that it was not polite to say this, so he asked a question as if he had lost a sheep to try to divert the topic.

"What are you studying?"

However, without eggs, Liu Jingyu's face and expression suddenly had a tendency to transform from a little milk dog to a little wolf dog, and the black was even thicker and more pressing, and the peach blossom eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing a little uninhibited that was usually restrained.

Chu Jun's heart trembled when he saw it, and he got into the arms of his boyfriend with a very sense of security, and was busy changing the topic.

"By the way, Zhen Di, you are really good, you went to the commentary seat of the regular competition in your freshman year, did you read the forum?"

Zhen Di's liver trembled when he mentioned the forum now.

“...... What happened to the forum? ”

"A lot of people begged for human flesh...... See for yourself. ”

Chu Jun handed over the phone.

There is a post that was topped, and the title is, "Youth Games Freestyle Qualifiers Surprise Cute Sound Commentary"

The popularity of this post has been high, and there are replies or anything below.

[Unexpectedly, there are also girls in the sports commentary who are delicate and soft and easy to push down.] 】

[Our school's sports commentary style is very normal, and I feel sorry for ourselves. 】

[Three or four in this game are our school's swimming major, didn't the previous swimming team blow to the sky, every year is a bumper harvest, why is it so low, it's like being pressed under the swim lane and rubbing. 】

[Upstairs, the champion is us.] 】

[Hehe, what's the use of playing unstable, occasionally pretending to be forced, you should be eliminated in the preliminaries, saving yourself from embarrassment. 】

Qi Nan was watched by the melon-eating crowd again, and she was about to die of guilt.

Zhen Tuteng stood up suddenly.

"I'm sorry, I still have something to do, I'll leave first, I wish you a hundred years of good luck and an early birth of a noble son."

Chu Jun didn't have time to call her, and the girl had already jumped away like a frightened rabbit.

Liu Jingyu's hand holding the cup stopped in mid-air, thoughtful.

Swimming pool, no.

Library, no.

Complex, no.

Canteen, no.

Finally, she saw him under a row of sycamore trees whose leaves had fallen to their bare branches.

He wore a black-collared sweater, a backpack of the same color slanted on his left shoulder, his head bowed, and his walking posture was somewhat casual.

The girl's panicked eyes slowly calmed down, as if his seemingly calm back that day but seemed extremely lonely to her lingered in her mind, or as the sun rose and the moon set every day, she wanted to say more and more to him, and suddenly had the courage to fill her heart and walk towards him step by step, extremely religious.

"Qi Nan."

Hearing the soft voice of a cat, he suspected that he had misheard, and took two more steps before looking up in confusion.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm looking for you..... Long. ”

Zhen Di's tone was a little astringent, and he suddenly realized that the relationship between the two was not close enough to look for him all over the world, and he was uneasy.

"Why don't you call me? I don't know if I'm a road idiot, but I dare to wander around? ”

He didn't ask, "Why are you looking for me," he just said, "Why didn't you call me?" ”

He looked at her with a somewhat casual gesture, not thinking it was a big deal.

Zhen Di opened her mouth several times, and Qi Nan waited patiently for her to sort out her emotions.

Strangely, the two were relatively silent for a moment, and Zhen Di finally lowered his head and said softly.

"You did a good job, you fought hard in the preliminaries, and you won gold in the finals, don't listen to those people's nonsense."

"Who?" Qi Nan was confused for a moment, then immediately reacted, and lightly hooked the corners of his lips, "Oh, those people on the forum." ”

His gaze swept to Zhen Di, and after a pause, there was a misty mist in her eyes, but she sniffed and pretended to be calm and pitiful, which seemed to be even more aggrieved than him, and she was so aggrieved.

Obviously, the little girl was avenging his grievances.

He chuckled meaninglessly, and spoke with a bit of nonchalant.

"They were right, I was really ...... in the preliminaries. Substandard. ”

Zhen Di's neck was straight.

"There are wins and losses in the competition, not to mention, you win the gold medal."

"A gold medal doesn't mean everything."

He walked to the side of the lounge chair and sat down, his bag thrown aside, leaning back, his two long legs leisurely together, his tone slightly cool.

"Bai He's kid is a strong character, but in the 400-meter free preliminaries, I slowed down the rhythm and almost missed the final."

"Because my form didn't give my coach confidence, my teammates were forced to readjust to the rhythm of another person, and they didn't even run in, which led to the end missing out on the championship - the gold medal of the 4*100 triple championship was gone."

"Do you still think it's the coach's fault for the substitutions? Because I won the championship, can I make a mistake before? ”

"Zhen Di, people should not make excuses for their mistakes, especially in sports, as an athlete, you should only never stop and move forward when you compete, just like you are on the commentary stage, I am not your friend, just an ordinary player - you are doing a good job."

There seemed to be light in his eyes.

And she couldn't say a word, her eyes were sour, and he ...... Know.

The last dead leaves of late autumn were finally dropped by the wind, the wind was a little cold, but it was very refreshing, and late autumn had arrived.
