Chapter 531: Badminton player chasing dreams (6)

After school in the afternoon, Yuan Tian took the initiative to send a message to Ji Huai, asking him to drink milk tea. +++The latest Danmei novel ranking: EbookFREE.me
There are also several milk tea shops near the school. The "buy one get one free" event has always been there. However, people say it is "half price for the second cup." Most couples come to buy it.
I don't know if Ji Huai is too sunny and honest, and Yuan Tian has never thought about it in his heart.
He was already a national youth badminton champion at a young age and he was honored. Although she has made great achievements in painting and won prizes in the national and even the world youth competitions, she is incomparable with someone like him who has graced the country. Any crooked thinking feels blasphemous and feels that he has his own light.
Ji Huai drank the milk tea she bought and walked with her on the side of the road. His long legs slowed down and his voice was low, "How are you going home?"
"Um... take the bus." She called Uncle Wang and told him not to come to pick up.
Ji Huai: "Where is your home?"
Yuan Tian said the name of the community, and he stopped looking at her, with a clear smile on his lips, "Isn't that the opposite direction? The bus here doesn't go there."
She was startled, and met his warm and bright smile again, feeling that she was full of youthfulness, and she forgot to answer for a while, and the roots of her ears were still a little red.
Ji Huai: "Go, take you back."
He stopped a car and drove her home.
At first, Yuan Tian only wanted to get off the car near his home, wait for him to leave and then go home by himself, subconsciously wanting to conceal his identity, fearing that there would be a direct gap between the two. Since childhood, good friends who know her identity, as long as they are not of the same class, either choose to alienate her or please her.
Ji Huai didn't care. She got out of the car, and he was still lying on the window, looking at her, smiling very contagiously, and waving his hands enthusiastically, "See you next time."
"See you next time, bye bye." Yuan Tian looked at him, and the corners of her lips couldn't help rising.
She went upstairs and returned to the room, still a little dizzy in her mind, and she felt his voice still echoing in her ears, a very strange feeling. The other party seemed to have positive energy in his bones, youthful and energetic, and a handsome young man dressed in white.
After half an hour, Ji Huai sent a message saying that he had arrived home.
Yuan Tian was in the studio at this time. Looking at the painting last night, he finally understood what was wrong, and found his winning photos on the Internet.
He is wearing red sportswear, standing on the podium, with a gold medal on his neck, smiling brightly, and a little green in his confidence, like the warm sun in winter, with light in his eyes, which is so moving.
The two chatted with each other on WeChat. Yuan Tian was a little distracted and drew two strokes. He always checked if there was any news on the phone, and had difficulty concentrating. He clicked on the photos of his circle of friends from time to time.
She was still muttering before going to bed: "Why does he smile so beautifully? He still likes to laugh so much."

"The students in the last row move to the left."
"one two Three...."
"Okay, one more one, one two three!"
"Quickly, we're in our class, sort out the clothes."
....
The head teacher urged, everyone had lined up and walked over.
After the classmates were all standing, the head teacher pointed to Ji Huai in the third row, "What's the matter with Ji Huai? You are still standing so high, standing so far, and going to the rightmost position in the last row."
"I'm pulled over." Ji Huai was at the far left of the second-to-last row, he was still struggling, "I don't want to move anymore, I'm squatting?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the classmates laughed and turned to look at him. Yuan Tian stood in front of him, and then turned to look at him.
His brows are frowned, his handsome face is frowning, and he is inexplicably cute.
"What to squat? Hurry up." The headteacher stepped forward to pull him off, and said to his arm, "Look at your muscles. If you don't take a few championships, I'm sorry for the country's training for you. Win glory, grace your alma mater, have you heard?"
"Okay, you can take as much as you can!" Ji Huai was arranged to the other side and deserved to be simply and neatly.
The head teacher smiled, looked at him several times, then raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, then turned and walked forward and sat next to the grade director.
"wipe ."
The picture freezes for that second. In the photo, the immature faces carry innocence, with reluctance and longing for the future.
On the last weekend before the exam, Yuan Tian met with Ji Huai in the library. He held the autobiography of the world-renowned athlete Jon Felton in his hand. He is known as the strong and tough in middle and short sprint, and is known as the Xiaoqiang who can't beat him. Throughout his sports career, he has broken through physical limits and created miracles one after another. He is one of the top athletes in the world.
Ji Huai also brought her a cup of milk tea, the original half-sugar pearl milk tea.
He plugged in the straw for her and pushed it over to her, while Yuan Tian hesitated for a moment, slowly took out a box from the bag, and whispered, "This is for you."
"Huh?" Ji Huai raised his eyebrows, curiously taking it over and opening it.
"Aren't you going to the training camp in two days? I don't know if I can meet each other and give you a present." She pretended to be relaxed, and her hand under the table was tightly clenched.
Ji Huai looked at the black watch in the box. It is made of light metal. It is a new model recently released by Yarui. The black dial is embellished with blue and white metal, which is high-value and cool.
He didn't go back either, bending his lower lip, "It seems that you don't like to owe favors. If you change a mobile phone to a watch, I still earned it."
Yuan Tian was said to be central thinking by him, and he couldn't explain it.
"I like it very much, thank you." He didn't shirk too much, put it on his hand on the spot, raised his hand and asked her, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good." She nodded vigorously.
This one is a sports watch. It uses solar cells and has a good texture. She thinks it suits him well.
Ji Huai was also very satisfied. He bowed his head and fiddled with him for a while, and when he left the library, he invited him, "How about I invite you to dinner? If there is a chance to meet next time, please invite me again."
"good."
....
The two went to eat hot pot. When chatting, he could pick up what she said, as if there was an intangible tacit understanding. If he didn't understand, he would take the initiative to ask questions and occasionally talk about his life in the training camp.
Unconsciously, after two hours of chatting, there was still a little bit of meaning left.
When Yuan Tian took the high school entrance examination, Ji Huai had packed his things and entered the training camp.
The coach feels that they are still young and lack self-control. In order to allow them to concentrate on training and rest on time, they must hand in their mobile phones and send them back when they rest.
For Ji Huai, in the past half-day rest, he would also go to training, not only year-round, but also more particular in diet than other athletes.
He was very restrained, and he extended his training to all aspects of his diet, in order to go further in his career.
After completing the exam, Yuan Tian went to live with Chen's house for a while, and created a few paintings with Chen Wei, and his life was pretty good.
She occasionally receives messages from Ji Huai, sometimes simple greetings, and sometimes photos of training. She has also developed a habit of sending him messages from time to time to talk about her current situation.
After mid-July, the two had barely chatted. She knew that he was about to participate in the competition, and the training was getting harder and harder and there was no time.
Yuan Tian changed the painting from last time and changed basketball to badminton. At this time, her hands are full of paint, constantly adjusting the coloring, and carefully depicting his eyes.
In the picture, he is wearing a blue sportswear, holding a badminton racket, and there are several shuttlecocks on the ground.
After she was finished, looking at those bright eyes, she smiled and stared for a long time.
At the end of the month, the "Zhouxing Cup" officially kicked off and was held in Riyadan, the capital of Ghani.
Ji Huai was able to show his talents in the arena with ease. He swept young athletes from all over the world in the top sixteen, eighth, four finals, and reached the final after beating Nica's Clay Bloomer.
Yuan Tian became excited when he knew he was in the finals. She opened the live broadcast and kept watching.
Ji Huai is wearing a light yellow sportswear, and standing opposite him is another player from Nicah. According to the host, the opponent has won two golds, one silver and three bronzes in major youth open competitions.
Ji Huai was serious and calm on the field, holding a racket, and looking ahead with his lips tightly.
The opponent serves. Ji Huai held the racket and stepped forward to return the ball. He was flexible. After the opponent made a smash, he turned back and picked the ball, and quickly came to the center of the court.
The opponent continued to attack, he picked the ball and then smashed, quickly occupied the home court, came a lob, the opponent returned the ball without passing the net.
He scored the first point of the first game.
Yuan Tian didn't watch badminton games before, and didn't even understand it at all, but now he watched it with gusto. Seeing that he scored points, he couldn't help but get excited.
The score kept catching up, and Ji Huai was overtaken once. The opponent added two points and the score came to 15:17.
Yuan Tian looked anxious, and the cheers on the scene continued to be loud. When the two sides were resting, the coach was constantly talking on the side. Ji Huai was expressionless and nodded while drinking water.
The game started again, and the opponent began to attack again. Ji Huai aimed at the opportunity. After smashing the ball, he took advantage of the opponent to hang lightly and went forward again to kill with a backhand to regain a point.
Then he scored four points in a row, came to the match point early, and successfully won the first game.
He won the first game, and Yuan Tian blushed with excitement. When he lost the second game, he was dejected and anxious, tense and watched the third game.
Chen Ya knocked on the door twice, but she didn't respond, so she pushed the door and walked in. Seeing her daughter looking at the computer, her cheek was about to move up. Before she curled her eyebrows, Yuan Tian was overjoyed and she was so happy. He opened his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you looking at? Smiling so happily?" Chen Ya was curious.
"Watching the badminton match, our national team won!" Yuan Tian tried to reduce his smile, but he couldn't hold back. His face was full of smiles, and he couldn't hide.
"When did you become obsessed with badminton?" Chen Ya looked curious, and gave her the honey water, "I was so fascinated by it, my mother thought you were painting in the studio."
"Thank you, mother." She took it, Yu Guang was still looking at the computer, listening to her absent-mindedly, and when the advertisement was broadcast on the computer, she completely recovered.
In the evening, Yuan Tian sent a message to Ji Huai, who quickly returned to the video.
After the connection, the background was the hotel. He was wiping his hair and looking at the camera with a smile, "How did you know that I won the championship? I haven't told you yet."
She looked away and replied, "I knew it."
Ji Huai: "Did you watch the live broadcast? Or did you search it?"
"When will your game end? Do you still have to train?" Yuan Tian asked again quickly.
"Also deliberately changed the subject." He hooked his mouth and went back, "The game is not over yet, I still have team matches, and I'm also singles."
"Oh~~" Yuan Tian pursed his lips, "You have to come on and win a championship."
Ji Huai continued to look at her: "It's not easy to win the championship."
"Didn't you have all of them?" She raised her chin slightly and said to him with bright eyes.
Ji Huai's clear laughter came, and he nodded, "Yes, I will try to get another one."
He was really upbeat. He played as the No. 2 single in the team competition and won the second game 2:0. The men's team won 3:0 and won another championship.
This time in the "Zhouxing Cup" Youth Championship, the national team returned with a full load and won three golds, one silver and one bronze. Ji Huai won the men's singles and men's team championships.
Because of his handsome appearance, some people took pictures of him and uploaded them to the Internet, but he was not participating in a world-class competition. After all, he was still a minor youth competition. Not many people followed, but there were also a few comments and reposts. Praising his appearance:
"Handsome little brother, I can."
"Laughing so good, nodding my head."
"Oh, I have a handsome face, and I have strength and good looks."
....
After returning to China, Ji Huai did not return to Quyan City, but continued to prepare for the Shire Youth Badminton Open in early August in the training hall of the State Sports General Administration.
He has been promoted in every competition and won the championship of the Shire Youth Open.
In October, the World Youth Badminton Championship was officially launched. Ji Huai went as a substitute but did not play in the end.
The men's singles champion was won by Guan Gu Ruishu, known as the "little badminton genius". This time they only won the men's team championship, but both women's singles and women's doubles won gold medals.
Ji Huai sat under the stage to observe Guan Gu Ruishu's style of play. The opponent has a strong offensive consciousness and fierce style of play. Basically, he takes advantage of loopholes, plays in neutral, mobilizes his opponent to run on the court, and then surprises him.
Later, at the Redan Youth Badminton World Championships in November, he faced this player in the quarterfinals.
Guan Gu Ruishu, who won the World Youth Badminton Championships, is in the spring breeze. He will be an adult next year and will participate in major international competitions. He is also trained as a successor to the Olympics in China. Facing Ji Huai, he didn't let it go. In the eyes.
Basically, he is attacking and Ji Huai is defending.
After picking the ball and smashing the ball, Ji Huai tried his best to push back, and the opponent directly smashed a forehand zone, winning one point after another.
In the first game, Guan Gu Ruishu won.
In the second sentence, the opponent attacked all the way and scored five points in a row. The score came to 8:14, and Ji Huai was six points behind.
Li Cheng was very anxious. During the intermission, he handed the water to Ji Huai and kept saying, "Stay steady, turn defense to offense, preemptively, don't follow his rhythm, don't let him take the rhythm."
"I didn't lead him to the rhythm." He drank again and said, "His waist is so twisted, and his style of play is aggressive. Will it be abandoned?"
It is said that this guy didn't come to participate in the "Zhouxing Cup" last time because of the operation. Isn't he overwhelmed with such a twist?
Li Cheng felt that his focus was a bit wrong, and raised his voice, "You don't care about him or not, hurry up and play seriously."
Ji Huai closed the bottle cap and played again.
Guan Gu Ruishu seems to want to make a quick fight and use his own good skills to hit the four corners to smash the ball.
Ji Huai tried his best to save the ball and the opponent made a backhand smash in front of the net. He rushed to pick the ball and quickly returned to the center. When the opponent smashed the next time, he turned back and picked it up.
Repeatedly broke back six points and caught up to the same level.
When the opponent asked him to run, he ran. The pace was smooth and fast. He was also very quick to learn. In the second game, he came to the match point ahead of schedule, caught the ball and turned to attack. When Guan Gu Ruishu was running, he learned his trick. , After the ball from a high distance, a backhand strike came and fell into the bounds, but the opponent didn't catch it.
"Okay!!! Good job!" Li Cheng couldn't help standing up and applauding, he was very excited.
Ji Huai still lost in the third game, losing by two points behind.
"I played very well." Li Cheng patted Ji Huai on the shoulder, with relief.
The opponent is the champion of this session of the World Youth Badminton World Championships. Ji Huai's performance has been very good. The level is there. As long as he plays normally, there is no problem.
Ji Huai was sweating, and he was wiping his sweat with a towel. His clothes were soaked. He was silent, his chest undulated violently, and he was adjusting his breathing.
He and Guan Gu Ruishu looked at each other, and the other party was also a narrow victory. It is estimated that they still have lingering fears and can't laugh.
After returning from that game, Li Cheng found that Ji Huai's independent training had been strengthened. He went to the training ground first in the morning and the last one in the afternoon.
In this game, he revealed that his stamina was not enough. He didn't play skill in the second half. In the opponent's back and forth dead corners, he lost several points due to his slow pace of stamina and unresponsiveness.
Guan Gu Ruishu's offensive consciousness is strong, Ji Huai strengthens the defensive counterattack, his style is fierce, he tries his best to save the ball, once again improve the running ability, stabilize the psychological quality and seize the opportunity.
Ji Huai can often be seen running on the training ground. Others find it difficult to hold on to the 400 meters without clenching his teeth.
Li Cheng knew that he was not a genius, and he paid special attention to the limits of his body. However, he was like a spring with strong elasticity and resilience. The most important thing was that he had great perseverance, and he always made breakthroughs actively.
In mid-March of the following year, Ji Huai participated in the Suger Open and won the championship. This is after he won the second place last year in this Open.
Later, he won the championship in the National Youth Badminton Championships, and several times suppressed Chen Ruiyi, becoming the first man in the team's men's singles. At the same time, he won the qualifications for the "Zhouxing Cup" at the end of July and the "World Youth Badminton Championships" at the end of October. At that time, he will represent the National Youth League as the top seed in men's singles.

This year, Ji Huai didn't go home during the Chinese New Year. Chen Xiuman went to see him alone and brought him a box of dumplings made from home.
The contact between him and Yuan Tian was intermittent. Sometimes he couldn't send a few words a week, and sometimes he talked for several hours.
She would talk to him about school or other things, and he would tell her about the things in the camp. The two seemed to be very familiar with each other, forming a tacit understanding.
At the end of May, Yuan Tian went to the capital to participate in a one-month painting training camp, and Ji Huai also invited her to stroll around.
The two met in the national park. Seeing that his hair was wet when he came, Yuan Tian couldn't help but said, "You won't come back after getting up early for training, right?"
"Yeah." Ji Huai nodded without telling him, "Wake up at five o'clock, take a shower 20 minutes in advance and change clothes to go out, just to come over."
"..." Yuan Tian looked at him, "Did you grow taller again? The last time I saw you was not so tall."
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, about a year later, but they talked a lot on the Internet, they knew each other well, and there was no embarrassment in meeting each other.
"This month it was 1.82 meters, and it was only two centimeters tall." Ji Huai thought for a while, then looked at her in a white pleated skirt, "You are the one who is much taller."
Yuan Tian denied: "I don't have one."
"Yes?" Ji Huai stretched out his hand and gestured on top of her head, "I didn't get to my place last time, but it's all here now. I guess how many centimeters longer is it?"
She watched him behave like a little dwarf, stretched out her hand to pat the back of his hand, Ji Huai smiled and dodged, "Go, I'll take you around and invite you to eat."
"I want to eat you poorly!" she said angrily.
"Okay, eat more." Ji Huai smiled and added, "Little dwarf~~"
Yuan Tian was so angry that he didn't care about his image, so he wanted to chase him subconsciously. With a step on his leg, Yuan Tian could easily throw her far away.
The two shuttled through the streets, looking for various snacks.
Ji Huai took a few servings, tasted it and tasted it, sometimes disgusted with comments, "This one is delicious, the other one is not delicious, you can try it."
Yuan Tian took the glutinous rice cake he handed over, and took the opportunity to make fun of him, "You still buy it if it's not delicious? You have been here for so many years, don't you know where it tastes good?"
"I don't know." Ji Huai shook his head and stuffed his mouth, bulging his mouth and said vaguely. Never been to this place."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tian choked for a while.
She really knows his whereabouts, and it has always been training, competition, and competition. He would take the initiative to say, and she would often ask.
The two walked forward, and Ji Huai saw the charcoal grilled beef skewers and suddenly said, "This is delicious, especially delicious."
Yuan Tian: "Have you eaten?"
"No." Ji Huai shook his head honestly and explained in a serious manner, "I heard our coach say that it is delicious and local. He said he can eat dozens of skewers at a time."
After he finished speaking, he walked over to buy ten skewers and handed them to her to taste.
Yuan Tian and him sat down in a spot on the snack street. She took two bites and thought it tasted pretty good. She looked at his close face and asked, "You train like this every day, are you tired?"
Ji Huai nodded: "Tired."
Yuan Tian stopped, muttering, "It's strange if you don't get tired. There have been so many games."
"Well, there are a lot of competitions. For the end of July and October, I didn't participate in the recent Open." He gave her another roast beef, and saw her frowning, her mouth raised in an arc, and her tone of voice was relaxed." I’m tired and tired. I’ll just sleep for a while. I pay attention to my body. I don’t have any major problems at the moment. I’m working hard and happy."
This Yuan Tian knows that he will also read books on medical physiotherapy, and he will be professional and refined by himself.
She nodded, "That's good."
"You won a prize for painting again last month. This is a reward for you." Ji Huai handed her a box containing a delicate platinum necklace with a diamond on the pendant.
The style is simple and generous, small and exquisite, and unique in design.
Before she could react, he got up and smiled, "This necklace is very meaningful. I bought it with the game bonus. Although it is not expensive, it is exchanged with a lot of sweat. It is courteous and affectionate."
When the words were over, he didn't say anything more, like a gift that he sent out to celebrate, Yuan Tian also had no reason not to accept it.
This is how the two people get along, they get along very well. If it is ambiguous, there is no, but if it is truly pure, Yuan Tian is a bit confused.
Is there really a pure friendship between men and women?
Yuan Tian looked at the necklace for a long time after returning, and after putting it on himself in the mirror, he chatted with Ji Huai for a while. He rested early and had to train tomorrow. After he was off the assembly line, she thought about it for a while and sent a message to Li Mina.
Both of them are in the Provincial No. 1 Middle School and are at the same table. The relationship is good, but no one knows the relationship between her and Ji Huai, and they really don't know how to tell others. They feel so pure and weird.
She asked Li Meina if she had a pure friendship between men and women. The other party quickly replied and sent a voice over with excitement, "What pure friendship? Which man is here to fool you again? I definitely want you to be vigilant. Then began to be a demon. There is no pure intention between a man and a woman, unless the other party is gay."
Yuan Tian typed silently, "He didn't say anything, and then he was not of the same sex? He was just a good friend. He never crossed the line, chatted often, and had a heart-to-heart relationship."
Li Meina: "Sisters, run, you have entered his pond!!!"
Yuan Tian: "I don't seem to have it either. It's very serious and sunny, kind of righteous."
Ji Huai is really righteous, full of energy, and has never done anything extraordinary to her, that's why she feels so safe.
Li Mina: "How long have you known each other?"
Yuan Tian calculated the time to return to her: "One year."
Li Meina sent a bunch of ellipsis, "I guess...Is it a good-tempered man? Sunshine warm man?"
Yuan Tian: "Yeah."
Li Mina asked a few more details, such as whether she would deliberately say something out of bounds, such as being jealous, asking her if she has a boyfriend, caring about her especially, especially her feelings...
It doesn't seem to be, just talk about it, Ji Huai has his own very important things to do, let alone tell her whether he likes to love or not, and what else to be together, that is simply impossible.
The other party sent a sighing kitten animated picture, "I have thought about it a lot. Some people are like this. They have good tempers and strong interpersonal skills. Maybe they don't have much thoughts about you, just friends?"
Yuan Tian herself felt that it was possible, but when the other party said, listening to the voice, her nose suddenly became sour, and her heart was depressed a lot.
A sense of sadness and loss came to my heart.
