Chapter 20: Comfort
Su Nian returned to Jing Xing's side after running, Jing Xing didn't speak, just handed her the water in his hand, and then beckoned her to follow.
Su Nian didn't know why, so he followed Jing and walked all the way silently, Su Nian changed the water in his hand from his right hand to his left hand, and from his left hand to his right hand, but he was embarrassed to ask Jing Xing what he was going to do.
Su Nian followed behind Jing Xing, lowered his head and thought about it, when he suddenly heard Jing Xing's voice in front of him, "It's here, let's go in."
Silently looking for a position, silently ordering, waiting for the work on the dish is still silent, Su Nian feels that she will suffocate to death if she doesn't speak, but she didn't expect that she would have a day when she couldn't speak and didn't know what to say.
Jing Xing also wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, and thought of Zhang Jue and they said that they didn't need to speak, so he kept silent, scalded the dishes and chopsticks with water, and put them in front of Su Nian.
Looking at the scalding dishes and chopsticks in front of her, Su Nian suddenly felt no more afraid and restrained than before, she raised her head and asked, "Brother Jing, why did you bring me to dinner?" ”
Looking at Su Nian who suddenly raised his head in front of him, Jing Xing's first reaction was to stare at Su Nian's eyes and think, "It's really round, how can these eyes be so round, the flesh on the face really looks a little too much, I don't know how it feels to pinch it."
The people on the men's team used to like to pinch Jing Xing's face, and Jing Xing couldn't understand what they were doing, but looking at Su Nian's cheeks, it looked really a little easy to pinch.
"Brother Jing?" Seeing that Jing Xing suddenly stared at himself in a daze, Su Nian shook his hand at him, thinking about how this person could be so different on and off the field, why was he so stupid?
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's just to bring you to eat, didn't you go to the cafeteria to eat today, there is no food in the canteen at this point, I will come here to eat when I practice late, the taste is pretty good, you can taste it, if you like it, you can come later." Jing Xing subconsciously didn't want Su Nian to know that it was Li Shan and the others who asked him, but he didn't know why, he felt that Su Nian might be sad if he knew.
Sure enough, Su Nian didn't ask anything more, and picked up the chopsticks to prepare for dinner.
Su Nian thought that Jing Xing knew that she was in a bad state recently, so she noticed that she hadn't eaten today, no matter what the reason was, at this time, she didn't ask why she was in a bad state, and didn't teach her not to make a mistake, just accompanying her quietly like this already made Su Nian feel much more relaxed.
She is in the mood to look at this store, the decoration is a little old, the lights are not bright, there are quite a lot of people, almost all of them are athletes from the training base, and it should taste good.
Jing Xing saw Su Nian's eyebrows relaxed, and he felt slowly happy in his heart, the two of them finished eating silently, and walked back to the dormitory silently, without any discussion, but as if they had done it countless times, Jing Xing sent Su Nian back to the dormitory, and when he arrived downstairs in the girls' dormitory, Jing Xing whispered to Su Nian, "Go back, good night", Su Nian nodded, waved his hand at Jing Xing, "Brother Jing, good night~", turned around and entered the dormitory building.
When he was about to enter the door, Su Nian glanced back and saw that Jing Xing was still standing in place and didn't leave, and he didn't know why he was in a better mood.
After that day, Su Nian's state began to slowly improve, although the style of play was still suppressed, no solution was found, and the singles results have not been very good, but the doubles results in several tour tournaments are not bad.
The 18th Games will be held in Jakarta in August 18, in order to give the main force time to repair, and in order to let the youngsters carry the flag as soon as possible, the national table tennis coaching staff decided to send all the youngsters to participate in the competition, and in order to be fair and just in terms of the number of participants, the team launched a mock match.
Simulation competition is an old tradition of national table tennis, everyone who can enter the national team has made exponential efforts, and they are all very talented, and the number of places in each international competition is limited, and who to send to participate has become the most headache for the national table tennis coaching staff. In order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the entry list, the national table tennis will hold a mock match before each competition, and the top few players in the competition can naturally qualify for the competition.
On the same day, in the training hall, "Su Nian, you come", Coach Huang called Su Nian, who was training, over, "Let's go, take you to meet your mixed doubles partner".
"Mixed doubles? Am I going to play Mixed Doubles? Su Nian knew that the coaching staff was deciding the list of participants for the Asian Games recently, and she thought she was not eligible.
Coach Huang glanced at Su Nian, "The list team of the Asian Games will arrange a mock match, and the top few in each event can qualify for the competition, your recent singles results are not ideal, so in addition to singles, I will give you one more mixed doubles, mixed doubles has two groups of quotas, that is to say, if you can get the top two in this mock match, you can qualify."
He said and stopped, "Su Nian, do you know what the quota for this competition means?" This time, the coaching staff plans to send all the youngsters to participate, these youngsters are basically for the main construction of the next echelon, if there is no you this time, it means that you are out of this echelon, and wait for the next time to impact up, there is no chance to impact up, I don't know when to wait. ”
Su Nian didn't expect the coach to say these words to her, Coach Huang only started taking her this year, because she was not the No. 1 seed in the group, most of the time the previous coach took her, and they didn't get along very much, she thought that this coach who looked very serious didn't like her, especially the last time he didn't play according to his tactical arrangement in the Open and lost the game, the angry coach left on the spot.
The coach saw Su Nian's doubts, he turned around and continued to walk, as if he didn't know how to speak, after a while, he looked at the place and was about to arrive, Director Huang still said, "I was wrong in the last Open Tournament, but Su Nian, the role of the coach is not only to accompany you to train, the most important thing is to be able to see the flaws of the other party on the playing field, and adjust your tactics in time, because you are still young and a girl, so usually I let Zhang Qian take you first, but this does not mean that I will give up on you, I will not give up any player, Unless you've given up on yourself. ”
"Your style of play has been targeted recently, your form has declined, I have to take a lot of responsibility, we need to study the problem of playing style slowly, this is not in a hurry, but this mixed doubles qualification, we must win."
Saying that, when he came to the training place of the men's team, Director Huang waved his hand at the coach who was not tall and was helping the players train, "Shen Zhi", and pointed at Su Nian as he spoke, "I brought Su Nian here, let the two children train the mixed doubles first, and the competition will start immediately." ”
A young coach with Zhou Zheng and thick eyebrows and big eyes came over, he is Shen Luo, the head coach of Jingxing, who was the main force of national table tennis before, and his results were very good during his service, and because of his handsome appearance, there are many fans so far, after retiring from the national team, Jingxing is the first apprentice he bringed.
Shen Luo put down the ball in his hand and walked over, "Jing Xing, this is Su Nian, your mixed doubles partner in this competition, a 17-year-old little sister, have to take care of others." ”。
Jing Xing turned around and saw Su Nian stunned, he knew that this time the coaching staff was trying various combinations in order to test the mixed doubles pairing, and this time it was also for the sake of trying that he decided to let him participate in the mixed doubles, but he didn't know that the teammate assigned to him would be Su Nian.
