"I'm so sorry...... Lu Yan, the management of the team's investor has his favorite assistant coach, so ......" said the owner of the Flying Bears embarrassed and implicitly. As the manager of the Flying Bears, Gu Nan was also very reluctant to dismiss Lu Yan. Over the years, Lu Yan has been diligent and conscientious from a player to a coach. He sees Lu Yan's contribution and dedication to the Flying Bears, but now he can't do anything. There are a lot of things for the team that he can't decide, especially after the change of investors for the Flying Bears last year.

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to react and understand what Gu Nan didn't say explicitly. "Hmm...... I know. So when does the team need me to leave? When is the new assistant coach coming over and do I need to hand him over? Lu Yan said very well. He is recognized as good-natured, never angry in the face of unfair treatment, even if he feels sad and dissatisfied, he is buried deep in his heart.

Gu Nan looked at the peaceful Lu Yan, and felt even more ashamed. "They want you to leave as soon as possible, preferably before the new assistant coach," he said. There's no handover, you won't meet. ”

"Okay, then I'll clean up today, go through the resignation procedures, and leave tomorrow." Lu Yan said calmly, unable to see joy or sorrow.

"I'm really sorry......"

"It's okay, I understand. You don't have to be sorry, after all these years, maybe I should do something else. Nothing bad. Lu Yan comforted. He got up and gave Gu Nan a hug across the table.

"Thank you for all these years of dedication and hard work for the Flying Bears." Gu Nan said gratefully. He knew that this was very unfair to Lu Yan, and he tried his best to ask the management not to replace Lu Yan, but he still failed to change the management's mind.

Lu Yan smiled bitterly and patted Gu Nan's shoulder. Although he didn't want to touch this, he had to admit that he knew everything. Now he is the one who doesn't matter, the one who is abandoned, the one who is eliminated. All feats and contributions are just history. There is no shortage of talent in this world. In the world of capital, efficiency is all about efficiency, and no one wants to wait.

"Take care." Lu Yan felt something block his throat. He endured the discomfort and said those two words with difficulty. I had a lot of words in my heart, and I could only say these two words when I finally spoke.

"Lu Yan, no matter what. Our friendship is still there. I'm still your friend. Get in touch often in the future. Gu Nan said comfortingly. From the time Lu Yan came to the Flying Bear Team, Gu Nan has witnessed Lu Yan's growth all the way. Lu Yan's contribution to the Flying Bears is well known to him. It can only be said that everything came too suddenly. Even he himself was a little caught off guard. The team lost a good coach, but he didn't want to lose an admirable friend.

"Hmm......" Lu Yan tried to give Gu Nan a reassuring smile, and then turned away without hesitation. After Lu Yan turned around, his reddened eyes flashed with tears. He stubbornly raised his head to keep the tears from falling. But no matter how hard he tried, there were still two lines of tears across his cheeks, with a sharp coldness. No matter how much Lu Yan wants to be understated and careless, he can only do it superficially.

After completing the resignation procedures in the afternoon, Lu Yan left overnight. Didn't tell anyone that he was gone. He didn't want anyone else to see his loneliness. Although he doesn't want to admit it, he is really not in a good mood right now.

Most of his personal belongings were packed up and sent back to his hometown not long ago. He only carries a backpack now, and he travels lightly. Lu Yan casually flagged down a taxi on the side of the road and went to the high-speed rail station.

When waiting for the green light, the driver said idlely: "Are you still going to the high-speed rail station so late?" Are you on a business trip? ”

Lu Yan said perfunctorily: "Yes." ”

The driver sighed and said, "Alas, it's too hard. I have to go on a business trip at night. You shouldn't be too early to get to your destination, right? ”

"Hmm......" Lu Yan replied copistically. He didn't want to talk at all now, he just wanted to be quiet.

The green light turned on, and the driver didn't ask anything more when he saw that Lu Yan didn't want to speak.

When he arrived at the high-speed rail station, Lu Yan quickly went to the waiting room. The train he was on had more than 20 minutes to check in. Lu Yan found a seat and sat down and waited quietly. There are a lot of people in the waiting hall, and it is bustling. A few people were eating instant noodles, and Lu Yan smelled the aroma of instant noodles and didn't have a bit of appetite. Lu Yan hadn't eaten since noon, but he didn't feel hungry at all now.

Sitting on the high-speed train, Lu Yan looked at the night scene of the city with many lights outside the window, and his heart was infinitely sad. He irritably lowered the brim of his hat and closed his eyes, no longer looking out the window at the enchanting night scene.

Gu Nan finished his work and went straight to the dormitory to find Lu Yan to go out for dinner, but when he arrived at the dormitory, he found that it was empty. He knew that Lu Yan had already left. He stood at the door for a moment and then left.

After more than an hour's drive, it was almost nine o'clock when Lu Yan returned home. When I opened the door, I saw my sister Lu Ran sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

"Coming back?" Lu Ran thought it was his parents who had gone out for a walk.

"Hmm." Lu Yan changed his shoes and went straight to the kitchen to pour you a glass of water to drink.

Hearing that the answer was wrong, Lu Ran quickly looked at Lu Yan and said in surprise, "Brother, why are you back?" ”

"It's a holiday." Lu Yan said helplessly.

"Why is it suddenly on holiday? So when are you going back? Lu Ran felt a little wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. Lu Yan rarely took a holiday before. Even if the player is on vacation, he won't take it off.

"There's no need to go back......" Lu Yan said calmly.

Hearing this answer, Lu Ran immediately understood. She immediately comforted: "It's a good holiday." Mom and Dad have been talking about you lately. Just right to accompany them. You yourself rest and rest. ”

"Why are you at home too? Don't have to take classes lately? Lu Yan didn't want to talk about these things, so he changed the subject.

"No classes. I'm a senior now. Nothing to teach. All you need to do is prepare your graduation thesis. Lu Ran replied.

"I'm so tired today. I'll go back and rest first. Lu Yan said with a tired face.

"Brother, you will always be the best basketball player and coach in my heart. You can also live well without the Flying Bears. Lu Ran encouraged. She could see that Lu Yan was really sad. She didn't want Lu Yan to be sad.

Lu Yan gently rubbed Lu Ran's head, rubbed Lu Ran's bangs to the ground, and then said dotingly: "Little girl, I know what you said, don't worry about me." His current grief and loss is not because of being fired, but because of his feelings for Flying Bear and the remembrance of his life for the past few decades. Of course, he knew that with his reputation and ability, it would be easy to find another job.

Lu Ran impatiently pushed Lu Yan's hand away and said, "Brother, I'm twenty-two years old, not a child anymore. Don't rub my hair anymore! I just washed my hair today. ”

"Okay, got it." Lu Yan walked back to his room tiredly. For this sister who is seventeen years younger than himself, Lu Yan takes care of him in every way. At that time, Lu Yan was training with the Flying Bears, and when he came back from a long vacation for the first time, his parents gave Lu Yan a surprise like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. A child who has just completed a month. When Lu Yan returned home and saw his mother holding a crying baby, he was stunned.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, he must have seen it wrong. But when I opened my eyes, I saw the same scene. Lu Yan walked over slowly, sat down beside his mother cautiously, and asked stupidly, "Mom." Whose child is this? ”

Lu Yan's mother, Ms. Quartz, said calmly: "Our child." I forgot to tell you, your dad and I gave birth to a younger sister for you. ”

Lu Yan pursed his lips helplessly, muttering in disbelief: "Born for me?" I don't believe it? I don't even know the slightest bit of news. Are you afraid I'm not scared enough? ”

"You see how cute my sister is, she looks so much like you when you were a child. Didn't you always clamo for a sister when you were a kid? Mom took care of you enough of a headache at that time, so I didn't ask for it. Now that you are away from home all the year round, your mother finally has time to take care of her sister, so she gave birth to a younger sister for you. Quartz coaxed the child and said.

Lu Yanxin sighed tiredly, and his shoulders collapsed. How many years ago was this? Quartz didn't say anything, he forgot about it.

"Come, show you. How cute! How similar this chubby little face is to you! Quartz hugged the child and came over to show Lu Yan.

Lu Yan took a look, this kid is as fat as a ball, what is like him? But since mom has to say like him, it's like him. After Lu Ran grew up, Lu Yan realized that his mother was not wrong at that time, and the two of them were indeed somewhat similar.

Lu Ran, who was still a little baby, stopped crying after seeing Lu Yan, and grinned. Laughing so much that my mouth watered. Lu Yan couldn't stand it, so he took a napkin and carefully wiped his sister's saliva.

Maybe it was because of the blood relationship, it only took Lu Yan less than a day to accept Lu Ran's sudden sister.

Lu Yan lay on the familiar big bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, memories of the past flashing in his mind.

In high school, because of his excellent performance on the varsity team, he was favored by the coach of the Flying Bears who came to watch a large-scale provincial basketball game. Later, Lu Yan was recruited by the Flying Bears. After nearly a year of professional training in the team, Lu Yan began to participate in the professional league with the team. Due to injuries to key players in the squad, he was given a lot of playing time. He himself excelled. The results of the rookie season are very impressive, and they are on par with the main members. That year, he was a dark horse in the domestic professional league, and he was born out of thin air with an extraordinary record. He's proven himself and he's proven to be the Flying Bears. That year, the Flying Bears lived up to expectations and won the league championship. He also started the peak of his basketball career. That year, how many cheers and applause, how many honors and praises, and how many people remembered the name Lu Yan...... That year was already more than twenty years ago.

The professional league is the highest level of basketball competition in the country, and it is also the highest level of competition in the country. Every year people leave for various reasons, and every year there is an influx of young athletes. Lu Yan played for the Flying Bears for 15 years, and finally retired at the age of 33 due to declining physical condition and injuries. After retiring, Lu Yan did not leave his love of basketball, and moved behind the scenes, he became a practice coach, continued to serve the team, and worked wholeheartedly and obscuribly to cooperate with the head coach's training and management.

Now that I think about it, it turns out that so many years have passed. He always thought he was close to basketball, and now he realizes that he is far away from basketball. He calmly accepted the fact that he was eliminated and abandoned, but he really didn't know where he should go next. For so many years, he has been doing things related to basketball. Suddenly leaving basketball, he didn't know what to do. Is it really necessary to start entering the state of retirement in advance?

Lu Yan never fell asleep that night. A lot of things from the past flashed through my mind. Slowly, the dark window became brighter, and the lights in the room were useless. Lu Yan lay quietly on the bed.

Suddenly, the phone rang several times in a row. It was all given to him by the players of the team. Everyone was asking where he had gone and why he had a new assistant coach.

Lu Yan said soothingly: Some reasons, you train hard, don't worry about this.

At six o'clock, Lu Yan really had enough to lie on the bed, so he got up. No one has gotten out of bed yet. Lu Yan went out after washing. He went for a run on a long embankment nearby. It's been a habit he's been doing for years.

The fiery red morning glow floats near the mountain not far away, reflected on the wide river. The air is fresh, and the warblers are singing and dancing. There were also a few people walking along the causeway.

After jogging for an hour, Lu Yan went back out of breath. Passing by a steamed bun shop, he bought four baskets of xiaolongbao and went back. He used to eat this shop a lot when he was a child and opened it for many years.

When Lu Yan walked to the door, he saw his father who had just gone out - Lu Li. "Dad, where are you going?"

When Lu Li saw Lu Yan after returning, he hurriedly walked over and said with concern, "I was about to go out to find you?" Where have you been? ”

"I went out for a run."

"Your mother is ready, let's go eat." Lu Li pulled Lu Yan home.

After Lu Ran saw the xiaolongbao that Lu Yan bought, he hurriedly ran over to greet him. "Brother, you're too diligent. Ran out early in the morning to buy xiao long bao. ”

"I went for a run, and I bought it by the way." Lu Yan handed the xiaolongbao to Lu Ran and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.

"Do you want to drink soy milk, sweet or plain?" Quartz asked.

"Plain flavor." Lu Yan washed his hands and helped his mother bring the soy milk to the table.

"Thank you, brother, your xiaolongbao is delicious. Can you stop by every day in the future? Lu Ran said while eating xiaolongbao.

"Why don't you buy it yourself?" Lu Yan asked curiously.

"I don't want to wake up early." Lu Ran said.

"Okay." Lu Yan said resignedly. Lu Ran has been loved by thousands of people since he was a child. Lu Li and Quartz have children, and Lu Ran is left in his forties. With the experience of raising Lu Yan, they were more tolerant of Lu Ran's education.

"I heard that your sister said she resigned?" Lu Li asked, eating roasted wheat.

Lu Yan said calmly: "Yes." Resigned. ”

"It's good to resign. Just enough time to tackle your life events. You see, you're almost forty years old, you don't have a wife, you don't have children. You're not in a hurry at all! Lu Li said helplessly.

Quartz echoed, "Yes...... Right...... If you look at the people around you who are similar to you, some of their children are about to take the college entrance examination. You used to say you were busy, but now you're not. ”

Lu Yan said helplessly: "This matter really can't be rushed. It's useless to be in a hurry. ”

"Then it's useful not to be in a hurry?" Quartz gas is not good.

Lu Ran couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. This breakfast is delicious, and there are melons to eat.

Lu Yan immediately noticed Lu Ran and said unevenly, "Why do you always stare at me? Lu Ran is also in his twenties, isn't he also single? ”

The smile on Lu Ran's face froze, and he ate the melon to himself. She said in a panic: "I haven't graduated yet, and I still have to go to graduate school after graduation!" "If she is allowed to get married, she must go to graduate school, and if she can't pass the exam, she will have to take the exam.

Quartz also said, "Ran Ran is still young. ”

Lu Ran was pardoned. She hurriedly gave Lu Yan a begging look. Brother, don't pull me in this kind of thing. It's good that you suffer this sin yourself. I'm your only sister.

Lu Yan changed his strategy to brainwash his parents: "Mom, don't you think it's good to be single?" I can do whatever I want now? If I have a wife and children, how can I still be so free? ”

Quartz said disdainfully: "Hmph, it's quite free now." What to do when you're old? I didn't even lose anyone who spoke. When the time comes, you will see that other people's children and grandchildren are full, and you will be alone. How sad you are. ”

"I'm not sad. I'm going to raise a child. When the time comes, let Ran Ran give birth to two children, one of the children is surnamed Lu, can I just raise my own children? Lu Yan said stubbornly.

Lu Ran disagreed and said: "Think beautifully!" ”

Quartz said angrily: "It is worthy of being a mother." Both of you think the same thing. Ran Ran also said that he would raise your child in the future! ”

Lu Yan glanced at Lu Ran, who was snickering, and sighed helplessly. "Mom, what do you think of adoption?"

"Now that young people don't want to have children, who do you adopt?" Quartz retorted unhappily. She really couldn't figure out what young people were thinking nowadays. When she was young, she wanted to give birth to it. Now young people don't want to give birth, and they don't want to get married.

"Yes. Do you still want to give birth now? Or you will have another one. Lu Yan asked tentatively.

Lu Liqi scolded angrily: "Stinky boy, the more you talk about it, the more out of tune it becomes." Are you honest with me and your mother? ”

Quartz laughed angrily and said, "Your mother is over sixty years old?" You're going to be kidding your mother's life! ”

"Okay, okay, leave him alone. He can do whatever he likes! Don't you like freedom? Let him be free to die alone. Lu Li said impatiently.

Lu Yan knew that his parents were angry, so he ate silently and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Lu Ran has been clever since she was a child, and seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she hurriedly finished eating and went back to her room.

After breakfast, Lu Li went out to drink tea with other retired old people. Quartz went out to work. She found a job cleaning for others, which she could do in half a day, either in the morning or in the afternoon. With a salary of two or three thousand a month, it can be regarded as finding something to do for yourself.

Lu Yan sat on the sofa bored and watched TV, and after watching it for a while, he found that there was nothing to see, so he went to watch a basketball game.

It was almost noon when there was a knock on the door. Lu Yan ran to open the door, and it turned out that the courier had arrived. A few large suitcases full of luggage. Actually, there wasn't anything, just some of his clothes and shoes.

Lu Yan moved the courier to his room, and then went back to watch the game.

Lu Ran came out to get a drink and asked curiously, "Brother, who knocked on the door just now?" ”

"Express."

"What did you send? Is it the fruit I bought? Lu Ran looked at the cabinet at the door where the express was placed and found that there was no express delivery.

"What I sent back from the team. Not your courier. Lu Yan explained.

"Oh, I thought my delivery had arrived!" Lu Ran walked over and sat next to Lu Yan, and handed a bottle of drink to Lu Yan by the way.

"Dad is like this every day, going out to find someone else to drink tea and play chess?" Lu Yan asked unacceptably.

Lu Ran nodded seriously and said, "That's right! Otherwise, he wouldn't have much to do. Their generation didn't stay at home, they always liked to go out and hang out, and they couldn't stay at home. ”

Lu Yan said helplessly: "That's too boring!" ”

"No! Dad had a great time, and he was happy with his current life. Lu Ran said disagreeably.

"I mean how I feel. If I was asked to live the life my dad was living now, I wouldn't be able to stand it. It's so boring. Lu Yan said bitterly.

Lu Ran instantly understood that Lu Yan was talking about himself. "If you're bored, you're having fun! Sitting at home every day must be boring. Brother, why don't you start a basketball interest class? You see that you now want time and time, funds and funds, employees and employees, and take advantage of the right time and place. I'll work for you, and you can just ask the kids to play basketball, and I'll do the management. It's a good time to experiment with what I've learned in school. Lu Ran said with great interest. Lu Yan is a student majoring in business management at the School of Economics and Management of Beichuan University C.

"Ranran, tell my brother honestly, haven't you found a job yet?" Lu Yan asked soberly.

Lu Ran glanced at Lu Yan cautiously, and said weakly: "I don't want to look for a job, I want to be the boss." ”

"You're trying to empty the gloves of the white wolf!" Lu Yan said with a smile.

Lu Ran hurriedly defended: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to find a job. I looked for several jobs, but they didn't offer me. I ran to apply for the job with great anticipation, and I also made a lot of preparations, printed all kinds of transcripts, all kinds of certificates, and carefully answered their various sand sculpture questions like a grandson during the interview, but the result was still brushed. I don't even want to look for a job now, I don't want to be the denominator. ”

"What did they ask you?" Lu Yan asked curiously. He had no experience in job hunting and interviewing.

Lu Ran sighed and complained: "They asked me, 'What advantages do you think you have over others?' I thought about it seriously at first, but then I realized that this was not the question they were trying to answer. They interviewed other people, and I didn't interview anyone else. And asked me, 'What did you learn in your four years of college?' I thought to myself, didn't everything I learned be written on my resume? Do the certificates I copied prove anything? But I still very well-behaved to say that I have learned...... I'm balabala, after saying a bunch of words. They asked me again, 'Why did you quit your last job?' When I heard this, I was stunned. I stupidly said it was because school started. Only then did they realize that they had asked the wrong question. What a fool, what else can you do if you resign? I don't want to do it. It's saying that if others don't quit, how can they come back to you to find a job. I don't know if they're really stupid or pretending to be stupid? After the interview, he didn't tell me the results, so I was asked to go back and wait for the announcement. Grandma has a leg, and I waited for days without informing me. In the end, I called and asked. Tell me they forgot to notify me that they didn't have an offer. I can't be angry. ”

Lu Yan listened to Lu Ran scolding and complaining, and he could imagine how angry Lu Ran was. "What did you do? How did I not know? Lu Yan asked curiously.
