The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine: Chapter 52 National competition 16
In the high-end western restaurant, the waiter played the violin melodiously.
The steak was served, Jin Nanzhi spread the napkin, looked at the red wine in front of him, salivating.
"Little uncle, I'll just take a sip, one sip, okay?"
Jin Shunqi took the red wine away.
"No, you have a game tomorrow, waiter, have a glass of lemonade."
When the lemonade was served, Jin Nanzhi buried his head on the table.
"Ah, I'm about to suffocate. I practice every day that I can't eat this or that. I finally come out. You still don't let me drink. I want to tell my dad that you restrict my personal freedom."
Jin Shunqi cut the steak with a knife and fork, turning a blind eye.
"Okay, then I'll tell my brother that you spend your days in Beijing, don't study hard, don't train, and ask him to suspend your credit card."
Jin Nanzhi raised his head and gritted his teeth.
"Jin Shunzaki!"
Kim Soon-saki put the cut steak on her plate.
"Hey, don't be so indifferent, call him uncle."
"Is there an uncle like you?! The uncles of other people love their nieces very much, and give them what they want. How about you, since you were young, you will bully me and sue my dad. I finally ran from South Korea to China. Come on, how about you, you also came back from America."
"Did you come back to work or did my dad arrange for you to monitor me?"
Jin Shunqi shrugged.
"All of them. The salaries in international hospitals are higher. Of course, your father also gave me a lot of money."
Jin Nanzhi was so angry that he almost turned the table over.
Jin Shunqi still had that indifferent and smiling look.
"Ah, ah, ah, after you finish playing the game, the year-end bonus will come out, and I will buy you whatever you want."
"It's not too bad." Miss Jin finally felt comfortable, and snorted through her nostrils.
"Then I want a car."
"You are not yet eighteen years old, according to Chinese law..." Jin Shunqi cleared his throat and was about to make a long speech.
Jin Nanzhi stared at him fiercely.
"Jin Shunqi, my birthday is next week!"
The doctor immediately changed his words from being kind.
"Okay, then give me a car as your birthday present."
The two uncles and nephews chatted while eating. For some reason, Qiao Yuchu always appeared in Jin Shunqi's mind. He was also a professional player. Why was his niece so different from her?
Look at this rough sitting posture, exaggerated hair color, winter shorts and crop top, and two super big silver earrings on the ears. The whole rock and roll youth is also focused on eating, drinking and having fun. I don't know how she made it to the national competition.
Jin Shunqi put down his knife and fork and looked at her seriously.
"To be honest, your coach didn't let you go through the back door, or did you take drugs?"
After saying a word, Jin Nanzhi was furious again, and the veins on her forehead twitched. She picked up the fork on the table and smiled sinisterly.
"Honestly, I also want to know, if you stick a fork into the main artery in your neck, will you die?"
Jin Shunqi almost choked on the steak, and his neck felt chilly, so he hurriedly stopped and begged for mercy.
"Okay, okay, I'm joking. When Nanzhi was in Korea, he won the All-Korea High School League Championship at the age of fourteen. Of course, he is very talented. I just received a professional player recently, so I'm a little emotional."
At the end of his words, his expression was rarely serious.
"At the end of this road, it is inevitable that you will suffer from injuries. I can see that you like to play and don't like closed training."
"In South Korea, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't lack money. I have already received the admission notice from Seoul National University. If you want to work after graduation, the family can arrange a job for you. If you don't want to work, they can also support you. You can live the life you want.”
"Why did you travel thousands of miles to study in China, and you have to go to play games, suffer so much, and you can't even drink your favorite drinks. Your parents are old and happy, you know how precious you are, I Just like them, we all hope that you can be safe and live a healthy life.”
When she said she wanted to study in China and learn badminton systematically, her family expressed great opposition. Her mother cried all day long, and her father beat her when she got angry.
That was the first time she was beaten since she was a child.
In desperation, she had no choice but to use a hunger strike to protest, and only then did she win this hard-won opportunity.
Even so, Jin Nanzhi never told them the real reason why she wanted to study in China.
Jin Shunqi is different, her little uncle is the person she trusts the most.
Jin Nanzhi closed his eyes, put down his knife and fork, and was about to speak.
"I…"
The doctor's mobile phone on the table vibrated, he glanced at the caller ID, Jin Shunqi answered the call, and immediately stood up and said.
"Okay, get ready for the operating room, I'll be right there."
"Little uncle..." Jin Nanzhi called him.
Jin Shunqi picked up his suit jacket from the chair, took out a bank card from his wallet and put it on the table.
"I have to go for emergency surgery at the hospital. There is some money in the card. You spend it first. The password is your birthday. If you don't have enough money, call me."
"Also, although your parents and I don't agree with your career path, since you have chosen it, you have to go forward without hesitation. I wish you success in tomorrow's game."
Jin Nanzhi grinned at his back.
"Eight out of ten out of ten times I eat with you, I have an emergency! What kind of unlucky buff are you!"
In the end, she picked up the bank card and looked at it before a smile appeared on her face.
"That's about the same."
Jin Nanzhi recruited the waiter to pay the bill. After leaving the western restaurant, he saw that it was still early. He didn't want to go back so early, so he simply made a few phone calls, invited friends and went to the nearby KTV to play. There was no sense of urgency for the finals tomorrow.
When she was feasting until late at night, Xie Shi'an and Jian Changnian were still training, and after another round of sparring, Xie Shi'an's left-handed ball became more and more proficient, and she fell to the ground from exhaustion .
Jian Changnian lay on her back on the ground.
"No, let me take a break."
Xie Shi'an gently kicked her calf with his foot.
"Get up and keep fighting."
Jian Chang was overwhelmed by the thought, a carp sat up straight, pointed at the clock on the wall and said angrily.
"I said, are you iron?! Look at what time it is! It's half past twelve, sister! Even if I can not sleep, can I not eat?! Ah!"
As soon as the words fell, her stomach gurgled loudly twice, which was especially audible in the empty gymnasium.
Xie Shi'an touched his nose, turned his face away, and whispered.
"Didn't you just eat this afternoon?"
"Eating at five o'clock, seven and a half hours have passed! By the way, aren't you hungry after exhausting so much energy?" Jian Changnian looked at her curiously.
Before the words fell, Xie Shi'an's stomach also growled.
Jian Changnian laughed all over the floor.
"I just knew, oops, stop practicing, take a break, do you still want to catch up with others' hard work for more than ten years in a few nights? Didn't Coach Yan also say that enough is enough, take it easy, and go eat something to fill your stomach first. Fill your belly."
Xie Shi'an also sat down and wiped his sweat with a towel.
"It's so late, the canteens are closed, let's go buy some instant noodles."
Jian Changnian's eyes were shining, Xie Shi'an knew what bad idea she was holding back.
"When I came back from Houhai that day, I noticed that there is a night market one street ahead of our training center, and there are many people, such as spicy noodles, rice noodles, roasted cold noodles, wonton noodles, candied haws, stewed donkey meat, what to eat everything."
Well, judging by the situation, I still sneaked out and stepped on it.
Jian Changnian bumped into her shoulder, her eyes almost narrowed into crescent moons.
"It's hard to practice so late, there is no credit but there is hard work, treat me to a supper, isn't it too much?"
***
The fence of the national team training center is not as easy to break as the one of the Coastal Province team. It is surrounded by barbed wire and surveillance cameras.
The two went around and ran to a remote side door. Jian Changnian hid in the flowers, pointed to the sleeping doorman in the sentry box, and whispered.
"From there, get out under the turnstile."
Xie Shi'an looked at the narrow place like a dog hole, and gritted his teeth.
"Can't we go out in a fair manner?"
"You're stupid, closed training, Coach Yan didn't allow us to go out casually, and even went to eat at roadside stalls, if we were caught, we would have to start with 500 push-ups."
Xie Shi'an: "..."
Although it was a bit exaggerated, she still had a chill and pushed Jian Changnian from behind.
"You take the lead."
Cowardly, like thieves, the two slipped out of the gate under the watchful eyes of the guard, and ran a long way in one breath.
Jian Changnian jumped up and turned around.
"Wow, the air outside should be fresher, I'm almost suffocating!"
Xie Shi'an looked back to make sure no one was following.
"Stop talking nonsense, hungry, lead the way."
The training center is located in a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown Beijing. The door they came out of is considered the most remote, and there are several newly built construction sites next to it. Not very bright, groggy.
Jian Changnian leads the way.
"Here, go a few hundred meters further and cross the road to the night market."
Xie Shi'an suddenly grabbed her by the shoulder.
"Did you hear anything?"
Jian Changnian listened intently for a while, and looked around, all were construction sites, only the humming sound of machines working at night.
"I only heard the sound of the excavator, you..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a sharp female voice not far ahead: "Help..."
Xie Shi'an's expression changed, and he ran away.
"You... Hey! Check the situation first!" Jian Changnian saw that something was wrong, picked up a brick from the ground and followed.
Turning the corner of the street, I saw a few drunk men on the sidewalk teasing a girl, and there was a car parked beside it.
"How come you have no money in the LV bag?"
"No money? If you don't have money, it's okay to play with my brothers."
As they spoke, they picked up the girl by the waist, and were about to stuff it into the car. The girl was holding on to the car door, struggling and kicking, but her fists were no match for her four hands, and her physical strength was also somewhat different. The night blurred her body. Face, couldn't see the expression clearly, only heard crying for help.
The man went to grab her hand, and the moment he was about to close the car door, someone behind him patted him on the shoulder.
"Who is it?"
He turned his head impatiently.
Xie Shi'an punched him head-on.
Jian Changnian took the opportunity to pull the man out of the car.
"Run!"
When their eyes met, the two of them were startled. With the help of the dim lights in the car, Jian Changnian finally saw clearly that this girl with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes was actually Jin Nanzhi.
"you…"
Xie Shi'an roared: "Why are you standing there, run!"
It is this delay.
The man touched the nosebleed on his face, hissed lightly, and finally came back to his senses.
"Damn it, you have strong hands, chase after me!"
The people sitting in the car also got down, and surrounded the three of them together.
The boy stood in front of them, his face was calm beyond ordinary people, his eyes were cold, without a trace of warmth.
"I've already called the police. If you don't leave, the police will arrive soon."
I don't know why, maybe it's because she looks tall enough, or maybe it's because the punch just now was so powerful that the man felt a little afraid in his heart, and subconsciously felt that she was dangerous.
Jian Changnian next to him was still holding a brick in his hand, and he also looked like he was ready to go all out.
There was a faint sound of cars in the distance, and it was not known if the police were coming.
The younger brother next to him pulled his clothes.
"Brother, someone is here, let's go."
The man glared at them viciously, and the group got into the car and drove away.
Jian Changnian breathed a sigh of relief, threw the brick in his hand, and turned to look at her.
"Are you OK?"
She was very grateful that someone came to rescue her, but who knew it was them.
Jin Nanzhi couldn't hold back his face, and wiped the teardrops from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, bluffing.
"What are you looking at! Who wants you to save me!"
Xie Shi'an put his hands in his pockets and continued to walk forward with a blank expression, preparing to cross the road.
"Let's go and eat something."
Jian Changnian glanced at her, nodded and followed her.
"It's not far from the training center, so be careful."
They actually left themselves alone? ? ?
Jin Nanzhi roared: "Hey, can't you see that I am like this?! How can I go back!"
Xie Shi'an stood under the sidewalk, looked back at her, raised his eyebrows, and there was a playful smile in his eyes.
"Don't you think we are meddling?"
"I..." Jin Nanzhi choked up, looked down at himself, his clothes were all torn, if he went back like this, everyone would know tomorrow.
The girl pursed her mouth, tears rolled in her eyes, bit her lip, and refused to say a soft word.
"Here, put it on."
Jin Nanzhi raised her head unexpectedly, and fell into a black vortex. There were no stars in this night, but she saw the vast galaxy in Xie Shi'an's eyes.
The boy took off his coat and handed it to her. Although there was still no expression on his face, his expression was clear and clear.
Jin Nanzhi slowly reached out and took it, her body temperature was still on the coat.
Xie Shi'an turned his head and continued walking.
Jin Nanzhi hesitated again and again, looking at her back, he still chased her across the road.
"Hey, are you going to the night market? I...I want to go too!"
Jian Changnian looked at her, confused, still brooding over the fact that she beat her all over the place.
"You are so weird, you say you don't want us to save you, and then you say you can't go back like this. Shi'an even lent you her own coat, and now you want to go to supper with us, Jin Nanzhi , what do you want to do, you?"
Jin Nanzhi bumped away from her and walked to the front.
"I'm hungry, I want to eat, it's that simple!"
"Huh? You are afraid of encountering a pervert again, so you don't dare to go alone, so you want to come with us, right?" Jian Changnian ran up to her, looked at her, and walked backwards.
"You bean sprouts, you are defeated, you, you, you... shut up!"
"Don't close it, I'm going to say, you're just scared, although I can't beat you, but I saved your life, hahahaha."
I don't know why, Jian Changnian felt a sense of accomplishment at this moment, and walked around her.
Jin Nanzhi wished he could pounce on her and tear her mouth apart.
Xie Shi'an silently put on the earphones, and inserted between them.
Noisy.
***
"Come on, the wanton noodles you want."
The steaming hot noodle soup was served, with fried eggs spread on top of the milky white soup base, sprinkled with green onion and coriander.
Jin Nanzhi swallowed and raised his hand.
"Boss, I'll have one too, and an fried egg."
Jian Changnian poured some more vinegar, and while mixing the noodles in the bowl, said, "You? You pay for it yourself."
Jin Nanzhi snorted through his nostrils and said, "If my lady hadn't been robbed of her wallet today, how could she eat this kind of roadside stall?"
"Miss Huanben? You really speak Korean, but you look like a Chinese, your accent is similar, and you still have double eyelids. Hey, are you really Korean?"
While eating, Jian Changnian observed her, and was also a little curious about this famous Korean genius girl.
"Who told you that all Koreans have single eyelids? Besides, my mother is Chinese, and I am a Chinese-Korean mixed race. I have been taught bilingually since I was a child. I know a lot, besides Chinese, English, Japanese, and even piano and dance. Art and music are involved, and badminton is just one of my hobbies.”
Jin Nanzhi's character is pampered by his family, and he looks very wealthy in his clothes. He has so many things at a young age, which shows that his parents spend money and energy on her. It should be in TV dramas. The daughter of the chaebol family you are talking about.
Xie Shi'an took off his earphones and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Then why didn't you inherit the family business well, why did you come to China?"
"I..." Jin Nanzhi choked, just as noodles were brought up, she broke open the chopsticks vigorously, and Meimei took a sip before saying.
"Of course I came to learn! China's badminton is recognized as the world's first-class. If I want to learn, I must learn from the best and the strongest."
Look at her colorful hair, exaggerated earrings, personalized clothing, thick foundation, and sequins on the end of her eyes. She is obviously in closed training, and she came back from the outside after this point.
Xie Shi'an shook his head and continued to eat noodles.
"If you don't study hard yourself, it's useless no matter how good the teacher is."
"Who said I..." Jin Nanzhi held his chopsticks angrily, and was about to refute, when he looked at them, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"No, closed training, you also slipped out."
The voice did not fall.
Jian Changnian choked on the wonton.
"No, we're just out for a meal."
"Then I don't care. I heard that Coach Yan of the Binhai team is very strict in leading the team. I will report to him tomorrow, saying that you sneaked out and eat junk food outside!"
"You, you, you... you **** Lu Dongbin, you don't know good people!" Jian Changnian was holding the chopsticks, his hands were shaking into sieves, and his face was full of tears.
Xie Shi'an's expression was normal, and he ate his noodles slowly.
"You go, I don't know if the fine is heavier for sneaking out to eat, or the finer for running away drinking late at night?"
Hearing this, Jin Nanzhi's face changed, and he immediately grabbed his clothes and sniffed them vigorously.
"No, I didn't drink alcohol, did I get it in KTV?"
Hearing her whisper, Jian Changnian burst out laughing, and stretched out her little finger first.
"Okay, reconciliation and reconciliation, let's make today's matter a secret between the three of us. It's not good for anyone to tell it anyway."
Jin Nanzhi looked at her, then at Xie Shi'an, Lao Gao with the corner of his mouth pouting, reluctantly stretched out his little finger, and gently hooked up with her.
"You can't change the hook if you hang yourself up. If you tell me, I'll... kill you!" Miss Jin pretended to be arrogant, and grinned as she watched Xie Shi'an who was eating quietly.
Xie Shi'an stretched out his hand and touched them symbolically, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
Because of an accident, the three future world champions quietly forged the seeds of friendship at a small stall in the early morning night market in Beijing.
On the way back, Jin Nanzhi finally remembered tomorrow, oh no, this afternoon's game.
After eating and drinking, she was in a good mood, bouncing around to step on the shadow of Xie Shi'an who was walking in front.
"Hey, let me tell you, if you don't save me, won't you be the champion?"
Xie Shi'an walked with his hands in his pockets without looking back.
"We are just opponents, not enemies."
