Tianyuan Shuo also sat by the window for a long time and recalled his past, he touched his wrist and looked at the sky quietly.

From an objective point of view, although his parents divorced early in his childhood, his father complied with the judgment to pay monthly child support, and Xiao Shuoye's mother, although she is an Asian single mother, has also carved out her own career in the United States with her own efforts.

Tian Yuanshuo has never blamed and resented his mother, because he clearly knows how difficult his mother's life was at the beginning, and he also clearly knows that everything he has now is obtained by his mother's unconditional support.

It's just that in that critical period of growth, Mieda Tenin really ignored Sakuya's psychological condition because she was busy, and it wasn't until one day that the teacher called to say that the child had an accident at school, and Mieda Tenin really realized how terrifying the malice between children was.

The chubby and cheerful little golden retriever from before became gloomy and silent, and even when Mieda Amanoin tried to pick him up, the child's reaction was only to stiffen and tremble.

Although Xiao Shuo is also a standard blonde and blue eye, his mother's bloodline can still be reflected in him, and his thin and thin body is more than his peers, as well as his beautiful and delicate appearance when he is not yet developing, which makes it difficult for him to move forward in the community primary school.

Tianyuan Meizhi's heart was about to break, she took Xiao Shuo to visit the child psychiatrist many times, until Xiao Shuo timidly grabbed the corner of her clothes and said Forget it, Mom, I want a lot of money, I am afraid.

Mieda Tenin didn't even dare to let him go to school by himself for a while.

The turning point of the matter happened when the cousin in his hometown was coming to the United States to study, so please ask Mieda Tenin to take care of this child more.

When Sendo Akira came, he didn't know that Aunt Mieda, who he hadn't seen for a long time, not only got married and divorced from his family, but even his children were already in the third grade of elementary school.

The tall man of 1.9 meters squatted on the ground, and greeted the blonde little group hiding behind his mother with a smile: "Hello, I am your cousin Xian Daozhang, I will give me more advice in the future." ”

Xiao Shuo also looked at Xian Daozhang's appearance, which was obviously different from that of Europeans and Americans, and his eyes turned a few times on his hairstyle that was at the forefront of the trend, and he actually nodded to Xian Daozhang, which was regarded as a hello.

The opportunity for Xiao Shuo to really start talking to Sendo Akira was when his cousin took him to a basketball game between community colleges.

Although in Xiao Shuoye's memory, his cousin, who is 1.9 meters tall, is already the tallest and strongest person he knows, as a result, Xiandao Akira stopped in the team, and suddenly became less eye-catching.

The blonde little danko couldn't help but recall some not-so-good things.

Until his cousin, who talks slowly and likes to sit by the river and fish like an old man, pressed the opposite team to the ground with a relaxed face.

Obviously he was also an outlier on this court, but Sendo Akira stood there, smiling and raising his hand to signal that he had successfully scored a layup, while enjoying the applause of the audience and the embrace of his teammates.

After the game, Xiao Shuo also tugged on his cousin's trouser leg and said that he also wanted to learn basketball.

Xiandao Zhang didn't ask why, just stretched out his hand and snorted the little cousin's soft golden retriever viciously: "At this time, you should shout Coach I want to play basketball." ”

Xiao Shuoya: ?

"Teasing you," Akira Sendo picked him up and put him on his shoulder, ignoring his exclamation, "It doesn't have to be basketball, right, it's better to start with exercise?" ”

Anyway, for Xiandao Zhang, he just divided a small half of the fishing time to his little cousin.

Three years later, Xiao Shuo's shooting and dribbling skills have become the same, but Xiandao Akira is a little worried when he sees his stubbornness and must practice fixed-point shooting every day: How does this look like developing into Hainan's scoring guard Shenzong Ichiro, shouldn't it be like me developing into a point guard?

But it's cool to really be like Ichiro Shin who can shoot deadly perfect three-pointers every game.

With the encouragement of his mother and cousin, he mustered up the courage to apply to join the basketball club of that junior high school.

Although the technique is not bad among the junior high school players, the coach also feels tricky about the child's character, basketball is a sport, saying that unity is also needed, but the player's individual character ability is also an indispensable condition for becoming a top star.

Especially in basketball, the physical collision is not less, and the locker room is full of hairy boys who have just entered puberty, as if they have eaten artillery, the coach touched his bald head, and his mind turned a few times on Tianyuan Shuoye's technique, and he still accepted the child.

After months of running-in, the coach finally approved the group of lads to stand on the court.

It was the first time that Tianyuan Shuo also participated in the game, and his mother and brother also took leave to cheer for him, but when he stepped on the field and raised his hand to signal for the ball, he found that no one was willing to give him the ball at all.

couldn't get the ball, Tianyuan Shuo also gritted his teeth and took the initiative to choose to defend closely, trying to contribute to his team.

After being defended in such a ball game, Tianyuan Shuo also had different degrees of bruises all over his body, coupled with the white skin of the child, Tianyuan Meizhi almost cried when he gave him medicine.

Xiandao Akira was also a little guilty, he patted the little boy on the shoulder and asked him, "Do you feel happy playing basketball?" ”

Tianyuan Shuo also thought about it and replied honestly: "I just think that if I play basketball, they won't bully me anymore, although judging from the current results, it doesn't seem to have changed much." ”

Xiandao Zhang didn't say anything on the surface, and stayed up late behind his back to harass all the people who could call for help one by one, and made a list of items and Tianyuan Mieda and took Tianyuan Shuoya to the children's club for trial.

"I'll see," Akira Sendo flipped through the list, "rugby pass; Tennis Pass; Ping Pong, the United States doesn't work on this technology, passpass, Xiaoshuo, are you interested? ”

I didn't wait for a response for a long time, and when I turned around, I found my cousin standing across the street with his head tilted: !!

"What are you looking at?"

Tianyuan Shuo also pointed to the people in the stadium: "Brother, what are they playing?" ”

Sendo Akira looked in the direction of his finger: "Oh, that's volleyball, Aunt Mieda originally planned to take you to see it this Saturday." ”

Tianyuan Shuo also nodded and stopped talking, staring at the small ball that kept flying in the air with a pair of cat's eyes, looking very interested but I didn't say anything.

Xiandao Akira also stood outside the court and watched for a while, touched his chin and said: "Speaking of which, I remember seeing a report somewhere before, saying that some volleyball players are taller than basketball players, after all, many professional basketball players have to gain weight, I remember that volleyball is not needed." ”

"Huh?" Tianyuan Shuo also raised his head, "Will they be taller than Brother Immortal Dao jumping?" ”

Akira Sendo: ...

Xiandao Zhang pinched his nose and recognized: "Maybe there really is, but there shouldn't be many, and the touch can surpass mine." ”

Tenin Shuoya: Heartbeat .jpg

Xian Daozhang looked at his little eyes that were about to move, and sighed in his heart: "No, you want to learn volleyball because of this?" ”

Tianyuan Shuo also pursed his lips and looked at his cousin stubbornly: "Although my talent in basketball is not as high as Brother Xiandao, in the future, I will definitely become the volleyball player who jumps taller than Brother Xiandao, so that my mother and Brother Xiandao will also be proud of me." ”

**

The road of volleyball is much easier than Tianyuan Shuo imagined, there was a sports foundation before, plus the second semester of the second year of junior high school, Tianyuan Shuo also successfully entered the growth and development period.

Just looking at the size of Xiandao Zhang, you know that the genes on the side of Tianyuan Meizhi are excellent, and the man who can be favored by Tianyuan Meizhi will definitely not be much worse, so Tianyuan Shuo has also successfully reproduced the trend of his cousin's growth period at the beginning, and his height is almost close to 1.75 meters in the second semester of the third year of junior high school.

Moreover, although the popularity of volleyball in the United States is also very high, not only is it divided by beach volleyball, but the commercialization of volleyball has not reached the level of exaggeration of football and basketball, so Tianyuan Shuo also spent a very comfortable two years in the volleyball club after quitting the basketball club that all the boys wanted to join for this.

Even when he graduated from junior high school, some colleges and universities had already thrown an olive branch to Tianyuan Shuo, hoping that he could join as a special student.

Tianyuan Shuo also readily agreed, after two years of training, he was finally raised like a child of this age and loved to laugh, although he was still a little shy occasionally, but in general, it had greatly exceeded the expectations of Tianyuan Meizhi and Xiandao Akira before.

When he first came to the men's volleyball club of St. Peter's High School, he had an active brain, good skills and physical fitness, so he quickly became the heart of the coach and was selected into the main team.

In order to live up to the expectations of his coach, he went to school for training at the earliest every day, and was basically the last to leave the gymnasium, and he was able to say a few words to his teammates every day, and his life seemed to be gradually on the right track.

Until the first training camp tore apart the calm on the surface of the entire team.

"Why don't you pass the ball to me?!" Tianyuan Shuo also collapsed and asked the setter in the team, "Is there anything I haven't done well enough?" Is it that I can't score? ”

The Latino teenager who was questioned was impatient: "So, you're a setter and I'm a setter?" ”

"And why should I pass it to you," the Latino teenager lifted his chin disdainfully, "I should have passed the ball to the ace or the main attacker, right?" ”

Tianyuan Shuo also looked at him in disbelief, his eyes turned to other teammates like a distress, and the junior ones took the initiative to avoid his sight, and the ace who had been confirmed to be entered into the national youth team in the third year of high school this year also looked back calmly, and his intention was self-evident.

Tianyuan Shuo didn't give up and went to the coach, but the coach who warmly invited him to join the men's volleyball club when he warmly invited him to join the men's volleyball club listened to his complaint, and just patted him on the shoulder in the hope that he understood: "After all, you will also be Evan's junior after joining the national youth team in the future, why make the relationship so stiff?" ”

Tianyuan Shuo was also silent.

He took two days off, and while he returned to the volleyball club after that, he was clearly consciously transforming himself from an offensive assistant to a blocking assistant.

The blonde boy still had one last glimmer of hope in his heart, if team sports always meant the sacrifice of individual ability, then I could do it too, so would my teammates accept me again?

But in fact, bullying never goes away because of the victim's compromise.

Tianyuan Shuo gradually found himself beginning to be isolated by his teammates, obviously he was still training, but someone locked the door of the gymnasium, so that he could only climb out of the small window of the back door in embarrassment; When the team is grouped to block the net, no one wants to form a wall with him; Walking on the road and greeting his teammates, his teammates walked past him as if they didn't see him.

This strange atmosphere made the coach can't help but stand up and intervene, and he still can't bear to destroy the good seedlings he values like this.

But after the coach talked to Evan and Phil respectively, the bullying did not go away, but sank from the surface of the water to the underwater, and even the players who were watching before were involved.

After all, in the default rules of the locker room, stabbing the conflict between players to the coach, for whatever reason, will be crucified to the traitor's pillar of shame.

"Shuoye," the coach said heavily, "go and apologize to Evan and Phil, or something will happen to you sooner or later." ”

The blonde boy in front of him lowered his head, and he no longer had the high-spirited appearance in his memory, he was splashed with water all over his body, and he couldn't even stand the coach standing there in embarrassment, the coach sighed and gave him a fake note to go home and change his clothes first.

Tianyuan Shuo also bowed silently to the coach and thanked him, and went home with a fake note.

Fortunately, at this time, my mother was at work, and Brother Xiandao had a class, and Tianyuan Shuo also thought, otherwise it would make them worry again.

He looked indifferently at his uncontrollably trembling hands, simply took a basin of cold water, put his hand in, and quietly waited until his hands gradually lost consciousness before taking them out.

What else do you say will make your mother and Brother Xiandao proud of themselves, Tianyuan Shuo also looked at himself with a pale face in the mirror in a daze, and after a long time, he stretched out his hand and patted his cheek.

"In that case," Tenin Shuo muttered, "then let's think differently." ”

No one knew what he was thinking, but after that office conversation, he seemed to have changed back to his old self.

Even if he still has to endure the bullying of his teammates, he still insists on training every day, rain or shine, his teammates simply give up smashing the ball if they don't pass him the ball, and his teammates don't form a human wall with him, so he slowly practices himself to become a predictive blocker.

He doesn't take the initiative to speak, he doesn't take the initiative to show goodwill, he stays in the team like a shadow, he is impeccable when the coach needs him to play, and he is perfectly invisible when the coach doesn't need him.

So in this silent confrontation, the first thing I couldn't stand was not Tianyuan Shuoya, but the previous setter Phil.

"Don't you think you're disgusting?" Phil's handsome face, which was usually touted by girls, is now distorted terribly, "Can't you just take the initiative to get out?" Evan is angry, Evan is angry, how to play the game? Get out of the team, do you understand? Is there a problem with your intelligence when you are bullied? ”

The Latino teenager yelled and smashed at the blonde boy, and the locker room was swept away by a tornado, so loud that the guards outside had to signal Phil to be quiet.

But this damn half-blood, damn madman, just stood there and watched it all quietly.

Phil couldn't help but rush up and grab him by the collar: "You scumbag..."

"What am I?"

Phil wanted to scold him, scolding him with the most vicious words he had ever thought of, but Phil suddenly saw Tenin Shuoya's eyes, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his dark blue eyes.

Phil broke out in a cold sweat for no reason.

"Phil. Felix," Tianyuan Shuo also tilted his head, as if he saw something interesting on his face, and slowly showed a smile, "You're afraid, Evan can't help me, and he's starting to get angry with you, isn't it?" ”

Phil slammed his collar off, his face turning pale in an instant.

Tian Yuan Shuo also had some regrets, he originally wanted to pat Phil's hand comfortingly, but now he could only smile and encourage him: "It's okay, you still have a long way to go, after all, you and Evan will definitely be teammates in the national youth team in the future." ”

"Come on, don't live up to everyone's expectations."

St. Peter's Private High School finally achieved the best result in the history of the NSAA men's volleyball league, and as soon as the game ended, a phone call from the head of the national youth team called the coach's mobile phone, asking for information about several players in the team, including the name of Akuya Tenin.

But tonight, Tianyuan Shuo also put forward his thoughts at the small celebration banquet held for him by his mother and brother: "I want to go back to the country where my mother and Brother Xiandao lived." ”

Tianyuan Mieda and Sendo Akira looked at each other and asked him cautiously, "Xiao Shuo, is something happening to the team?" ”

"How so?" Tianyuan Shuo also smiled shyly, "It's just that I learned about the national youth team of the United States before, and found that the competition for my position is fierce, so I thought that maybe I would develop into the Japanese national team in the future, so I simply took advantage of the team's good results to choose a good school to transfer, and it may be easier to enter the national team in the future." ”

Tianyuan Meizhi, who doesn't know much about sports, dispelled most of her doubts after listening to it, and she didn't think that there was anything wrong with the child opening his mouth and closing his mouth about the national team now: "Then Xiao Shuo has to choose well, and in the future, my mother can wear Shuo's national team uniform to cheer for Xiao Shuo, it's beautiful to think about." ”

Xiandaozhang smiled on the surface and echoed his cousin's imagination, but secretly cast a puzzled look at his little cousin.

Tianyuan Shuo also winked at his brother a little naughtily, and said to Xian Daozhang with a lip sync: It's okay, don't worry.
