C26 Wei Xindi

Wei Xindi didn't go back with the team for dinner, and she stayed alone at the Dong Dong Gang Sports Center. However. . . This time, she did not go to the warm-up area to watch the warm-up of the China female volleyball. Instead, she quietly sat in the spectator area. There was still more than an hour before the match between the China female volleyball and the Japanese female volleyball at night. The audience of the evening match had yet to enter the sports center of Yongdong Port. The huge gymnasium was still in a calm state.

She wanted to be lost in thought and daydreaming. She really enjoyed this kind of quiet time.

"Why didn't you go back to eat with your team members?"

When Wei Xindi heard this question, he didn't even need to turn his head to know that Yang Fei had come.

"The food in the base's canteen is too good. I ate it at noon, but I'm still not hungry. . . " Wei Xindi replied faintly.

Before she finished speaking, a banana was stuffed in front of her.

Yang Fei smiled and said, "Even if you want to lose weight, you can't just rely on hunger. At least eat a banana. "

Wei Xindi knew that he was joking, but after taking the banana, he couldn't help but retort, "Do you think that with my figure, I still need to lose weight?"

Yang Fei seriously sized up Wei Xindi from top to bottom and said after a long time: "Yeah, you're right, you don't need it. "

Having said that, Yang Fei sat beside Wei Xindi on the seat. He looked at Wei Xindi eating bananas as he asked: "Director Wei, I have a request. . . "

"Oh?" Wei Xindi looked at Yang Fei in surprise and said in the same tone, "Teacher Yang, why are you speaking so formally?"

"I want to do an interview about you, I don't know. . . " Yang Fei asked.

"Can I refuse?" Wei Xindi asked back.

"Why?" Yang Fei also asked her back.

"As the coach of Team Two, what's there to interview about?" Wei Xindi laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Many fans who like to play in China and pay attention to it are interested in your coaching this time. I think you can also do an interview. Show some of your ideas and let everyone understand them. " Yang Fei said, "Of course, there are also the girls you lead. They might become the pillars of China's female racers in the future. Don't you want the fans to get to know and familiarize themselves with them?"

Wei Xindi stared at the empty competition grounds, deep in thought. After a long while, she turned her head and smiled at Yang Fei, saying, "Then let's do it now. "

"Ah?" Yang Fei was also stunned. "Now? Right here?"

"Yeah, it's still very quiet here. What, you want me to change my mind?" Wei Xindi half-jokingly asked back.

Yang Fei smiled, took out his phone, and turned on the recording function.

"Then. . . I'll thank Director Wei first. " Yang Fei said and began to ask, "First of all, what is the reason that made you give up your good conditions overseas and decide to return to China to teach this China female platoon, Team Two?"

Wei Xindi thought for a while. The championship in Long Beach a few months ago, the new contract that Patrick got, Chen Jiaxiang's eyes full of expectation. . . All of these flashed through her mind in a flash. But she still answered simply, "I think there are only two fundamental reasons. First, I'm from China, my home is here, No matter how long I go out for, no matter what, I have to go home. The second reason is. . . I used to be a member of China's female platoon, so. . . I've been a Chinese volleyball player my whole life. When China's volleyball needs me to come back and do something, even if it's just a small contribution, I'm willing, and I feel that it's my duty to do so. "

"Then did the China volleyball association provide you with very good conditions to coach China's female volleyball team two?" Yang Fei threw out the second question.

"As for the conditions. . . As you can see, it's the same as any national female platoon's reserve. Our food, clothing, accommodation, and professions are all very good, but there's nothing special about them. Actually, I think the best condition provided by the China Orderly Association is not to interfere with my understanding of this young team. . . " Wei Xindi said, "Regarding tactical ideologies, I think we've already talked about it two days ago. Then I won't repeat it anymore. "

Wei Xindi saw that Yang Fei was listening with a slightly disappointed expression on his face. She suddenly felt a little guilty. Wei Xindi understood what she was saying to Yang Fei, who was thinking of writing a character interview. There really weren't many highlights. Instead, they were a little dry and dry. However, Wei Xindi was also a little helpless. After all, she was the head coach of China's female platoon number two. When she was interviewed, No matter how deep or shallow it was, it was not appropriate.

"I'm sorry. . . " Wei Xindi subconsciously said softly.

"Ah?" Yang Fei looked at Wei Xindi in surprise. He suddenly understood why Wei Xindi had said those words. He smiled. He said casually, "There's no need to apologize. Seriously, he said it pretty well. How about this, then? Can we talk about what you've seen and heard in the past few years in America, about your daily work there. . . "

The new topic of Yang Fei made Wei Xindi feel relaxed. She talked about her experience of studying volleyball theory in the University of the United States until she became the head coach of the female volleyball team at the University of Pennsylvania. She talked about the many stories and stories about leading the local college students to train and play.

Yang Fei didn't know much about the things Wei Xindi told him in the past. He couldn't help but listen with great interest. He couldn't help but sigh at how hard it was for Wei Xindi to work for volleyball alone in a foreign country.

Time passed minute by minute.

Seeing the fans swarming into the Dong Dong Sports Center and the live DJ also starting to play the warm-up music, Wei Xindi also stopped talking as if he hadn't had enough.

"This time, is there enough material?" Wei Xindi asked.

"En. . . " Yang Fei took a look at the recording app on his phone and found that the recording was over 40 minutes long. He stopped the recording, but after thinking for a while, he still said, "Actually, there is one last question. . . "

"Say it," Wei Xindi laughed and teased Yang Fei, "When you interviewed in the past, you didn't stutter like this. "

"We were just talking about your studies and work in the United States. . . So all these years, your life in the country. . . Has always been the same person? Do you have friends. . . To take care of you? " Yang Fei asked, but hesitated.

Wei Xindi was stunned. She looked at Yang Fei and did not speak for a long time. The atmosphere between the two of them became a little awkward.

"If. . . You don't want to answer this question. . . It doesn't matter. . . " Yang Fei said.

Wei Xindi suddenly smiled and said, "In America, whether it's our local friends or our Han friends, they've given me a lot of help and care in life. I've always been grateful to them. However, if the 'friend' you're talking about is specifically referring to 'boyfriend'. . . "

As he spoke, Wei Xindi pointed at the venue.

Yang Fei looked in the direction Wei Xindi was pointing at. The Japanese female volleyball team had already entered the field to warm up. Their young foreign trainers were distributing training balls to their team members. It was a tall and handsome European male. He looked to be about the same age as Wei Xindi.

Yang Fei turned his head and looked at Wei Xindi in surprise. He thought Wei Xindi was referring to that person. Wei Xindi saw Yang Fei's expression and immediately understood that he had misunderstood.

"What are you thinking, Yang Fei?" Wei Xindi laughed loudly and said, "I'm talking about those volleyballs!"

As the two of them chatted, they saw Chen Jiaxiang walking over from the side of the field with a smile. He stood in front of the railing and waved at Wei Xindi and Yang Fei.

Wei Xindi and Yang Fei quickly got up and walked forward.

Perhaps it was because the two national teams under the China Soccer Association performed well in the invitation match, Chen Jiaxiang seemed very happy. Without waiting for Wei Xindi to speak, Chen Jiaxiang said first, "Director Wei, it has been hard on you to lead the team for the past few days. "

"Director Chen, what are you saying? I should be thanking the volleyball center and the China volleyball association on behalf of the team members. It has created a good opportunity for Team Two to train in actual combat. " Wei Xindi said modestly.

"First, we won against Japan, then we won against Germany. We even put on a great show of 'turning the tables'. Little Wei, do you know that the match ended in the afternoon? In such a short time of less than two hours, do you know what the fans think of you? " Chen Jiaxiang kept him in suspense and asked.

Wei Xindi shook his head. Since the end of the five games with the German female volleyball in the evening, she really did not have the time to read the news online.

"The fans all say that you are the 'talented girl' of China volleyball! Haha, This title sounds fresh to me. But, I understand. It was correct for me to invite you back from America with Elder Tan. " Chen Jiaxiang said excitedly, "Also, I got the viewership ratings for the television stations. The viewership ratings for this afternoon's competition. One had to know that this meant that among the 100 families watching television, the ratings were as high as 1. 03%! One family is watching the sports channel's live broadcast of the competition in the afternoon. "

Wei Xindi did not understand why the fans had given her such a nickname. However, since Chen Jiaxiang was very happy, she was also happy. After all, this was the first time she had brought this team up this year. She did not disgrace the China volleyball association or the five-star red flag in front of her chest.

"Oh right, Little Wei, do you have any plans for tonight?" Chen Jiaxiang asked.

Wei Xindi shook his head. Tomorrow, she and her team members would take the morning flight back to Huan City and continue the closed training. Therefore, she didn't arrange for the final of the evening's competition. After letting her team members participate in the evening award ceremony, she would be able to rest early.

"It's like this. Do you still remember Coach Liu, the old coach of the Women's Racing of Yongcheng?" Chen Jiaxiang asked.

"Instructor Liu Yun, I remember him. " Wei Xindi said, "Back when I was on the national youth team, he even brought me along. "

"Instructor Liu retired not long ago, and his old partner passed away due to illness. His children were all working in other places, and he was the only one who returned to his hometown in Yongdong by himself. He had been quite lonely. Previously, he had been too busy with competitions and work. I never had the time to look at him. It's the last match tonight. The old man told me that he prepared a small family dinner. He called a few local friends and also hoped that I and the head coaches of our two national teams could go and have a seat. It was a celebration for the success of the competition. As you know, Director Xu's health is not very good. His blood pressure hasn't been able to drop for the past few days, so I helped him to decline the offer. If you have nothing else to do, Little Wei, Come with me reluctantly. Once you come, relax. Second of all, I want to thank these old coaches for helping the China Orders Association. It wasn't easy for them, either. They worked hard on the front line all year round and made a lot of contributions to China's volleyball. It was hard for them to take care of their family. Look. . . " Chen Jiaxiang asked.

Wei Xindi originally did not like to participate in all kinds of social gatherings, but since it was an invitation from his old coach, Instructor Liu, Chen Jiaxiang sincerely asked for her opinion, and then he thought about how Zhenguang Xu's health was indeed unable to attend such a scene. Wei Xindi still nodded and said, "I listened to Director Chen's arrangement. I haven't seen Director Liu for many years. This time, I'm here. Actually, I should go and visit him. "

Chen Jiaxiang knew Wei Xindi's personality. He had originally thought that he would drag a girl's home to attend the social gathering in the middle of the night. Perhaps it was a little difficult for her, but seeing that Wei Xindi had agreed. . . He said happily, "Okay, wait for me after the award ceremony. I'll call a car with my phone, and we'll go together. Also, Little Yang will definitely go with us tonight! You've been busy these past few days. Thank you for your hard work. "

When Yang Fei heard Chen Jiaxiang call him along, he politely declined and said," I won't go. I still have to write a script when I go back. . . "

"You have to go!" Chen Jiaxiang looked at Yang Fei and then pointed at Wei Xindi. He said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Little Yang, you still have a mission tonight. Although it was Director Liu's family dinner, But my job is to follow the rules. . . Even if I go, I can't drink. So, I'll have to treat you to a few glasses of wine for me, Wei, and Instructor Liu. Let him be happy as well. "

Seeing Yang Fei nod in agreement, Chen Jiaxiang turned around and left with a smile.

Wei Xindi and Yang Fei looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

In the competition that night, the China female lead won the Japanese female lead with a score of 3 to 0. In the final result, the China female platoon and the China female platoon both won and lost two wins and two losses. The Japanese female platoon won one win and two losses, while the German female platoon won all three matches.

As China's female platoon and China's female platoon didn't fight, according to the rules of this competition, The rankings of the two teams had to be determined by calculating their respective points (the total number of points won and the total number of points lost). China's female platoon had a total of six wins, so their points were naturally higher than China's female platoon two's six wins and three losses. Therefore, China's female platoon stood on the highest podium for this year's international female platoon invitation competition.

Even though China's second female platoon was ranked second, the team members were still very happy. Captain Gu Weiyang represented the entire team and took the second place trophy from the honored guest. She brought her teammates to take a group selfie on the podium.

After all, everyone had gained experience through this competition. Even though they had rushed out in a hurry, they had never imagined that they would be able to surpass the big sisters of the China female rehearsals in this competition.

After the award ceremony ended, Wei Xindi arranged the team's matters. He and Yang Fei followed Chen Jiaxiang to Director Liu's family banquet. Although Xu Zhenguang did not attend, Director Liu was slightly disappointed. However, he was still very happy when he saw Wei Xindi's generous arrival. Director Liu began to talk about the exciting games that Wei Xindi had played when he was on the national team and national team. The two of them had a great time catching up on old times, which made Yang Fei very interested. When they talked about having fun, Instructor Liu raised his glass and toasted to the guests. Yang Fei took the initiative to welcome them. After drinking a few glasses with Instructor Liu, he gradually became drunk.

After three rounds of drinking, Wei Xindi proposed to leave first. The drunk Yang Fei said he wanted to see her off. Wei Xindi gave Chen Jiaxiang a look. Chen Jiaxiang understood that Wei Xindi could take the drunk Yang Fei back to the sports hotel, so he said goodbye to Director Liu on their behalf.

When they returned to the sports hotel at the female platoon base in Dongdong, it was already silent. Yang Fei staggered, so Wei Xindi could only reluctantly pull him by his arm and lead him forward.

"Say, you can't drink alcohol to begin with, and you even drank so much. " Wei Xindi muttered to himself.

Yang Fei heard it clearly, and said with a big smile, You can't hold your liquor in the first place, and you still drink so much. " I. . . I have to listen to Director Chen. I'll be happy for you. . . To drink with Director Liu. . . "

It was obvious that he wanted to drink it himself. Wei Xindi thought about it but still said in an angry and funny manner, "Well, then I have to thank you. "

As he said that, the two of them entered the elevator. Wei Xindi knew that Yang Fei lived on the top floor, so he pressed the button for the highest floor. Yang Fei saw that while saying, "You don't live on this floor, I live on this floor. " He was about to press the button on Wei Xindi's floor.

"Enough, enough!" Wei Xindi hurriedly pulled his hand and said, "I'll send you back first. I'll go back to my room. "

"No. . . No need. . . I can. . . Walk by myself. . . " Yang Fei said stubbornly, but his body was leaning against the wall of the elevator. Clearly, he could no longer stand stably.

Wei Xindi did not care how he tried to be brave. He waited for the elevator to open and pulled him back to his room door. He then took out the room card from his pocket and opened the door. Wei Xindi placed Yang Fei on the bed and carefully helped him take off his shoes and coat and covered him with the blanket.

Wei Xindi turned around and wanted to leave, but he heard Yang Fei's throat churn. Knowing that he might want to throw up, Wei Xindi hurriedly ran back and picked up the rubbish bin at the side, making Yang Fei throw up for a while.

Seeing that Yang Fei felt a little better after vomiting, Wei Xindi simply found a cup and poured water for him to rinse his mouth. He fed him some water before looking at him lying peacefully on the bed.

"Xindi. . . " In a daze, Yang Fei suddenly shouted.

Wei Xin Di sighed and pulled a chair over to sit beside the bed.

"I'm here. Yang Fei, are you feeling better?" Wei Xindi casually asked.

Yang Fei opened his eyes and looked at Wei Xindi in a daze. Then he suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.

"Don't go!" Yang Fei said loudly.

"Okay! Okay! I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!" Wei Xindi said, wanting to pull his hand out. However, the drunk Yang Fei was terrifyingly strong. He gripped Wei Xindi's wrist tightly, unwilling to let go for a long time.

"Xindi, you stay behind. . . I was wrong! I was really wrong! Don't. . . Don't go to America. . . Okay?" Yang Fei shouted again, the strength in his hands seemed to have increased.

Wei Xindi was stunned.

. . .

Yang Fei opened his eyes again and found that the sky was already bright.

He couldn't think of how he had returned to the sports hotel and his room. He touched his phone and found that it was already 10: 15. Yang Fei said to himself, "It's bad. " He endured the splitting headache and struggled to get up from the bed.

Originally, he was prepared to personally go to the airport to send Wei Xindi and China's female platoon number two off. But at this time, let alone sending them off, the plane that Wei Xindi and the others boarded might very soon land on Egret Island.

Thinking of this, Yang Fei slowly sat in front of his desk. He recalled the stories he had discussed with Wei Xindi yesterday. As he turned on his computer, he started typing on the keyboard.

"As a former female platoon member of China, Wei Xindi. . . "

After writing this line, Yang Fei thought about it and deleted it.

"In Yongdong Port, the new head coach of China female volleyball Team Two, Wei Xindi, will lead the team. . . "

Yang Fei shook his head, but he was still unsatisfied as he typed the default button.

He sighed deeply and thought about it for a long time.

"This is a story about the return of a girl from China. . . "

He finally wrote down the beginning.

. . .

At Egret Island Airport thousands of miles away, Wei Xindi's plane arrived smoothly.

He looked at the happy members of his team. Wei Xindi was laughing and laughing as he walked, but his mind was filled with worries as he dragged them behind him.

That night, she did not rest well.

Yang Fei, who was drunk, finally let go of his hands and fell into a deep sleep. It was already past two o'clock in the morning. Returning to his room, he washed up and laid down. Wei Xindi actually had insomnia.

As he tossed and turned, time flew by, and the alarm clock on his phone rang inappropriately again. She had no choice but to get up and carry the box. She followed everyone to catch the morning flight.

"Yang Fei. . . " Wei Xindi muttered softly to himself. She forced her right wrist, on it was a faint purple mark that was difficult to detect. It was left behind when Yang Fei held it tightly and was unwilling to let go.

If five years ago, you clenched it tightly like last night. . . Wei Xindi suddenly thought, I really don't know if I still have the strength and courage to run so far. . .
