C76 Volume 1 Lin Yichao

The Spring Festival has just passed and the hospital corridor is very quiet. There was some snow outside. Lin Yichao's shoes were a little wet, and when he stepped on the smooth floor tiles, he made a single annoying squeak.

He had just come back from the train station and helped Xia Zhi send her parents away.

. . .

During this Spring Festival, Xia Botao and Xia Zhi's mother traveled thousands of miles from their hometown to Beijing. They accompanied their daughter who was treating shoulder injuries in Beijing for a Spring Festival that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Actually, this meeting was especially rare for Xia Zhi's parents and Xia Zhi.

Ever since Xia Zhi joined a professional volleyball club, during the winter season of the national female volleyball league, As the rising star of Banyan City, the summer break couldn't be idle. When he wasn't the main player, Summer break always trained seriously. He wondered when he would be able to throw and score like the main players of the club. When he became the main player, he would have to invest 100% of his time in training every day and in every league. He would work with his teammates to help the team win one victory after another.

Every season, the league would have to play until the Spring Festival before they could temporarily stop fighting. Usually, the flames of war would rekindle on the sixth and seventh days of the New Year. Therefore, During the winter of summer, most of the time, they could only return to their hometown from Banyan City on the eve of the Spring Festival and spend a year with their parents. On the second and third day of the Lunar New Year, they had to return to the club to prepare for the league. This time, the old couple arrived in Beijing a few days earlier. Even if they could only stay for about ten days, they could still spend more time with their daughter than in the past. Whether it was Xia Zhi or Xia Botao, Of course, he would find it hard to come by.

And what made the couple even happier was that this was the first time they saw Lin Yichao.

Although Xia Zhi was 23 or 24 years old, she had been thinking about how to play volleyball since she was a child. Even if she went to the "big city" Banyan City to play ball, Xia Zhi would only spend his spare time alone in his dormitory watching television, surfing the internet, and listening to music. He rarely went out with his teammates to participate in social events. His mother had always been worried that his daily routine would be so simple. In terms of love, she wouldn't be "enlightened" too late. But luckily. . . This time, they met Lin Yichao, Xia Zhi Chang's first boyfriend.

Lin Yichao did not know that before Xia Baitao and Xia Zhi's mom came to Beijing, they had visited Xia Zhi's initiation coach, Zhu Heng, in the county.

When Teacher Zhu heard the couple mention Lin Yichao's name, he opened his eyes wide and nodded his head repeatedly. He even happily told them many stories about Lin Yichao playing football in China. As Xia Zhi's mom listened, she secretly remembered it in her heart.

So, when the couple saw Lin Yichao coming to pick them up at Beijing South Station, Xia Zhi's mother followed the stories Zhu Heng told and secretly sized up the young man in front of her, trying to match the appearance of the Lin Yichao she imagined with the Lin Yichao in front of her.

Lin Yichao's face was delicate and pretty. It was hard for Xia Zhi's mom to imagine such a gentle looking young man in a contest with foreign regiments. How could he not care about the bleeding on his head and insist on the competition?

However, walking in the crowded Beijing South Station, no one paid more attention to Lin Yichao. It was as if apart from being slightly taller, he was just an ordinary person. This also made Xia Zhi's mother say to Zhu Heng, "Xiao Lin is the number one football star in China's men's platoon. The best main attack in Asia, I heard. . . There are many fans and girls who like him. " Those words were suspicious. However, Xia Zhi's mother felt relieved. She felt that. . . Even if Lin Yichao was not as famous as Teacher Zhu had said, but as long as he sincerely treated Xia Zhi well. . . It was enough for him to only like Xia Zhi.

Lin Yichao did not know that Xia Zhi's mother had so many thoughts in her heart. He only knew that Xia Zhi's injury must have made the couple worried and angry. It was the first time that Lin Yichao did not return to his hometown in Runzhou for the Spring Festival. He stayed in Beijing and accompanied Xia Zhi and Xia Zhi's mother during the Spring Festival.

In order to relieve the boredom caused by the old couple's injuries during the summer festival, Lin Yichao used all his skills. He tried to find a way to relieve the boredom with the old couple every day and chatted with them about the summer festival. However, as they chatted, they could not help but talk about the Olympic Games this year.

"Don't worry. Dr. Wu said that the summer break will definitely catch up to the Olympic Games. " Lin Yichao pretended to be relaxed, but he secretly looked at the summer break.

Xia Botao and Xia Zhi's mother believed Lin Yichao's words. They also believed that Wei Xindi had specially invited Alexander Wu, the medical doctor who was invited from the United States to preside over Xia Zhi's surgery and postoperative rehabilitation. However, Lin Yichao also keenly noticed that every time he talked about this topic, although Xia Zhi also smiled like his parents, there was still a trace of worry between his brows.

Finally, after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Botao and Xia Zhi's mother were going back to their hometown. Seeing Xia Zhi's reluctant expression, Lin Yichao hurriedly urged the old couple to stay in Beijing for a few more days.

However, Xia Botao shook his head: "This year is the most crucial year of poverty alleviation in the county. I have to stay with the villagers and give this year a good start. Looking for time. I will definitely come and see you guys again. "

Xia Zhi rubbed his nose and did not say anything. He only nodded. After so many years, it was always during the Spring Festival that she rushed home to spend the New Year with her parents. After that, she would return to the club and join her teammates in the Pro League. But this time, it was her parents who had to leave her in a hurry.

Even though Lin Yichao, who was also an athlete, was watching from the side, he felt the same way.

In the taxi that drove the couple to the train station, Mrs. Xia Zhi was still holding Lin Yichao's hand. She seemed to have a lot of things to say, but she didn't know how to say it. However, Xia Zhi's mother felt that her daughter's choice this time was right.

"Auntie, you can go back with uncle without worry. Although the recovery process during the summer may be very difficult and painful, I will definitely stay by her side and take good care of her. I will work hard with her to get through this crisis. Don't worry, I promise you. . . Next time you come over, I promise you that I will definitely let you see a healthy summer's arrival. " Lin Yichao said. . .

Even if he returned to the hospital at this moment, The scenes of the past few days still seemed to be spinning in Lin Yichao's mind. When he thought of the guarantee he made in front of Xia Zhi's father and mother, Lin Yichao quickened his pace.

But after taking a few steps, a heart-wrenching scream came from the rehabilitation room at the end of the corridor, making Lin Yichao stop again.

This cry, Lin Yichao was too familiar with it. Every sound was like a knife stabbing into his heart, causing all the strength in his body to leak out. He himself had never experienced that kind of pain before, but he would rather have that kind of pain be borne by him.

Old Wu's postoperative rehabilitation treatment for Xia Zhi had entered the most difficult period of time. In order to avoid the ligament and muscle adhesion after the surgery, Xia Zhi had to endure tremendous pain every day. He had to stretch and stretch his injured shoulder. And every time he moved, and even every millimeter that his shoulders and arms were pulled open, That kind of true "tearing" pain was unbearable for Xia Zhi, who had an exceptionally tough personality.

Lin Yichao was present during the last few Xia Zhi treatments. He watched as Xia Zhi clenched his teeth tightly without making a sound from the beginning of the treatment. Until she could no longer endure the pain and shouted out loud, Lin Yichao's heart gradually tightened into a ball. It was even a hundred times more painful than when he saw Xia Zhi get injured and fall to the ground a few months ago during the World Championship.

Ever since he was young, Lin Yichao had suffered countless light injuries and serious injuries while playing football. His fingers had been fractured, his head had been smashed, his ankle ligament had been torn. . . The sprain on his limbs, the abrasions on his skin and bruises were innumerable, but Old Wu told him that the pain Xia Zhi was suffering right now was several times more painful than any other injuries he had ever suffered.

Therefore, every time the treatment ended, Xia Zhi's clothes would be drenched in cold sweat. However, with a pale face, she did not forget to squeeze out a smile and naughtily and proudly said to Lin Yichao, "Brother Chao, I endured the pain today. How is it? I'm still the best!"

So, everyone calls you Little Superman! Lin Yichao thought.

Walking to the door of the treatment room, Lin Yichao's footsteps stopped.

Xia Zhi's cries were especially heartbreaking today. Perhaps it was because the difficulty of the rehabilitation treatment this time had increased by quite a bit. Perhaps it was because her parents' departure made her feel uncomfortable in the end. . . Lin Yichao suddenly understood that Xia Zhi finally dared to shout loudly today to release his pain as much as possible. Perhaps it was because his parents and him were not by her side at this moment. So a few days ago, Xia Zhi had been forcefully enduring the pain. It was just to make his parents and boyfriend who cared about her and love her not feel too bad because of her pain.

Although he really wanted to rush into the treatment room and hug Xia Zhi tightly, Lin Yichao still did not open the door of the treatment room. He wanted Xia Zhi to shout to his heart's content. Perhaps this could relieve her pain.

He slowly sat down on the bench in the corridor outside the treatment room. He lowered his head but still covered his ears. For the first time, Lin Yichao felt that his eyes were moist.

He didn't know how long he sat there. The door to the treatment room opened and Old Wu came out holding Xia Zhi. When they saw Lin Yichao sitting at the door, the two of them were stunned.

"Coach Lin, you're back. Why didn't you come in?" Old Wu said. His Mandarin had become more fluent than last year. "Xia Zhi has been talking about you. We even guessed that you were in a traffic jam. "

"I. . . Just came back. You're right. Many of the people who had returned after the holidays had returned. There was a traffic jam on their way back and forth to Beijing's South Station. I'm afraid I'll disturb your treatment. Just wait at the door. " As Lin Yichao spoke, he supported Xia Zhi. He said, "Xia Zhi. Don't worry, Uncle and Auntie have already been sent to the station smoothly. I watched them enter the station after checking their tickets. Just came back. "

"The rehabilitation treatment for Xia Zhi today was very effective," Old Wu said from the side. "Coach Lin, take Xia Zhi back to rest first. Anyway, don't be too anxious. You should be happy every day. It will be more beneficial for the recovery of your injuries. "

Lin Yichao accompanied Xia Zhi back as he asked, "What's wrong? Are you still unhappy?"

"Not at all. Every day, I recover and improve. How can I not be happy?" Xia Zhi said, "This Spring Festival is all thanks to you accompanying me, my father, and my mother every day. You don't even have time to go home and spend the New Year with uncle and aunt. . . "

"But, Old Wu said so. . . " Lin Yichao said.

Xia Zhi stopped. She sighed softly and hesitated for a moment. Then, she nodded and said, "Brother Chao, mom and dad are gone. You're not here either. I suddenly feel quite lonely. "

She didn't want to lie in front of Lin Yichao.

"Silly girl, I will be back soon," Lin Yichao said with a smile. "The weather will be warm in two days. If Old Wu approves, I'll take you out for a walk. "

Xia Zhi finally smiled. However, he said, "Let's go back and. . . Watch the competition. "

Lin Yichao had wanted to joke, "The final finals of the Binhai Female Racing and Yangpu Female Racing. At this point, no matter who wins, it has nothing to do with us. "

However, when he saw the serious look in Xia Zhi's eyes, Lin Yichao could only swallow that joke and help Xia Zhi quicken his pace.

When they returned to the ward, Lin Yichao turned on the TV and the sports channel just happened to be broadcasting the competition live. The intense seventh round of the finals of the female volleyball league had already reached the fourth round. In the previous three rounds, the nine champions, Binhai Wang, were temporarily leading by a big score of 2 to 1.

However, in the fourth round, the Yang Pu female volleyball, who was in charge of the home court, was unwilling to surrender. At the crucial moment, the main attacker of the second transfer, Song Siming, stood out. Her attack made the defense line of Binhai female volleyball, who was good at defending, anxious. The Yangpu female volleyball actually managed to turn back the fourth round with a score of 25 to 23, which made the competition enter a white-hot final competition.

Before the final match, the television station started broadcasting advertisements. Xia Zhi casually asked, "Brother Chao, who do you think will win the fifth round?"

Lin Yichao replied, "I think the morale of the Yangpu female platoon has greatly increased. Not to mention Si Min's performance, even the secondary offensive line formed by Little Lion and the little beauty performed so well in the last match. However, on the side of the Binhai Female Racing. . . I keep feeling that the little rabbit's condition isn't very good, it seems. . . Something seems to have gone wrong with her physical fitness. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. . . The next time I see her, I have to ask properly. Let's see if she's eating and drinking during the New Year and slacking off in physical fitness training. "

In the China female rehearsal coaching team, Lin Yichao was responsible for not only helping the assaulters to polish their offensive skills but also simulating the attacks of the world's top assaulters. The other task was to assist the team members in physical training.

"No, Brother Chao," Xia Zhi shook his head and said. "The little bunny isn't the type of guy who forgets training just because of a year. This year's league's schedule was long to begin with, and in the finals, there were already seven matches. This last game was even a decisive one, and the little bunny was the team's main secondary player. She must be really tired. "

"Yeah, Xia Zhi, what you said makes sense. You little sisters still have a deeper understanding of each other " Lin Yichao sighed, "Actually, After the national team competition ends, you guys won't be able to get more time to rest after you guys go back to the league, Lin Yichao said. You have to play the role of the pillar of support in your respective clubs, so the coaches of each team have to treat the national team members as treasures. Besides, You have just won the World Championship of the female volleyball, and all of you are guaranteed to win the box office of the league. The fans want to watch the league, so that they can watch the celebrities of the China female volleyball team in front of their house. You guys are really tired. Unlike us male players, no matter how good or bad we play, Very few people are interested in the league. . . "

Before he finished his sentence, Lin Yichao suddenly realized that Xia Zhi was silent again. He felt that he might have misspoken again.

After a moment of silence, Xia Zhi muttered, "Yes, Brother Chao. If I hadn't been injured, our Banyan City female volleyball might have been able to get better results this season. Little Yu has also grown this year. . . "

"Ah. . . This year, every team has strengthened their lineup. Moreover, there's a second transfer in this year's league. You'll have to watch these two teams in the finals. Daqing, Elegant Bro, and Junjun have all arrived at Binhai City, while Little Lion and Si Min have gone to Yangpu. . . "

While they were talking, in the live television broadcast, Song Simin had scored a beautiful ball for Yangpu's female volleyball in the final match.

"Brother Chao, Si Min's performance this season has always been very good. " Xia Zhi sighed.

Although she had been recuperating, as long as time permitted it, Xia Zhi would watch the live broadcast of the Pro League in every round of the Pro League. Usually, when she had nothing to do, she would use her phone to pay attention to the performance of her female team and the other members of the national team in the Pro League. Song Siming's performance had always been the focus of Xia Zhi's attention.

Looking at Xia Zhi's unblinking expression, Lin Yichao understood everything.

Song Siming, who was in the same position as Xia Zhi, was also a tall and strong main attacker. She was almost the same as Xia Zhi in terms of characteristics and type. Therefore, Xia Zhi and Song Simian had been secretly treating each other as a "competitor" for their benign competition on the national team this year.

Xia Zhi's physical condition and technical ability were slightly better than Song Siming's, so this year, Xia Zhi had gradually obtained a relatively stable position as the main force of the China female volleyball. However, Song Siyao, who was also advancing, did not stop chasing after him. Outside of the training subjects that the coach arranged every day, Not only did Song Siming secretly add weight and weight to herself, but she also often took the initiative to follow Xia Zhi. Lin Yichao asked him to make use of his spare time at night to give the two of them "supplementary lessons. "

Later on, the "special treatment" that Lin Yichao had given to Xia Zhi had almost turned into a "major lesson" with Xia Zhi, Song Siyao, Wang Xiaoqing, Mo Xiaoyu, Yuan Jun. Xiong Xin, and the other young players from the national team who were all on duty. However, after such training, Song Siming's ability improved quite quickly.

In this season's league, Song Simian had always been at the top of the scoreboard and the slam dunk scoreboard. According to the assessment rules, Song Siming had always been at the top of the scoreboard and the slam dunk leaderboard. If Song Siyao could help Yangpu female volleyball win the championship in the finals of this season's league, Then it was very likely that she would win the "scorer king" and the "most valuable player" in this season's league. Such a performance would also be an invisible position for Song Simian to compete with the summer for the main offensive position of the national team. It would increase the stakes by a lot.

However, during the Summer Festival, she was still ahead of Song Simian in terms of technical skills, not to mention if she could continue to be ahead of her. After this serious injury, it was unknown when Xia Zhi would be able to recover from his training after he recovered from the surgery, or whether he would even be able to recover to the extent before he got injured in a competitive state. The pressure in Xia Zhi's heart could be imagined.

Lin Yichao wanted to say something to help Xia Zhi get rid of him, but he could not bear to interrupt Xia Zhi, who was watching the live broadcast of the competition seriously.

Lin Yichao silently watched and thought. . . On the television screen, the performance of the members from both sides of the final match was as if they were walking on a horse. They flashed and flashed in front of his eyes without any destination, making him feel a little confused.

At this moment, the match finally came to an end. At the last moment of being entangled with his opponent, the Yangpu female volleyball finally won due to Gu Weiyang's serve mistake and Fang Han's blocking of the net score. For the first time in history, they defeated the Binhai female volleyball in the finals and became the champion of the league.

Lin Yichao quickly took the remote control of the TV and changed the channel. "Yeah, I'm done watching. . . Let's see something else. "

Although Xia Zhi was not satisfied, he also said with disappointment and frustration, "The competition is over. Little Lion and the others must be very happy. But Little Rabbit and the others are going to be sad and sad. . . "

"En, anyways my mood is stable," Lin Yichao pretended to be relaxed as he played with the remote control and said. "We, Tianning, did not make it into the top four this year. It's a pity. . . Xiao Xiao's transfer to Binhai Female Row only ended up as the runner-up. Sigh, Xia Zhi. If there is a second transfer in next year's league, come to our Tianning Female Racing. Help us fight for the championship too. Ever since Sister Wei retired, the Tianning Women's Row never won the championship again. Right, You didn't tell me before, how did you get to Banyan City's Female Racing then? Although Banyan City has a long tradition of volleyball, But in these ten years, the team's strength has never been considered strong. If you were to play in a team like Binhai City or Yangpu, Maybe you would have been the champion of the league a long time ago. "

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Chao, You know, I grew up late. We don't have a professional team in our province, so Teacher Zhu had to lead me alone. He went around the country to look for clubs and asked me to 'recommend myself'. But at that time, my skills and height weren't as outstanding as they are now. Several coaches looked at me and didn't want me. Banyan City is actually our last stop. However, on the day we arrived at Banyan City, it happened to be the day that Coach Xu Zhenguang had nothing to do. Go to the team to watch the training. In the end, it was him who made Director Li of Banyan City's female platoon accept me. He said that I have potential, that I only need to work hard and practice hard. I will definitely have a chance to become a good player in the future. To tell you the truth, there have been many clubs looking for me in the past two years. They asked me if I was willing to play at their place. But I still remember that Banyan City's female volleyball was the one I was most disappointed with. He even took me in when he lost confidence in himself. I think, if there wasn't Banyan City's female platoon. . . Perhaps I really wouldn't have become a professional volleyball player. . . "

Hearing the words of summer, Yi Chao came to a realization. He smiled. He wanted to call Xia Zhi a "little fool," but he suddenly remembered. In the first and second seasons before he was invited by Wei Xinzhi to play with China's female volleyball coaches, he had made a fuss about going abroad to play and earn big money. He couldn't help but sigh deeply in the past of being awkward and lazy at Tianning's male volleyball club. He secretly cursed himself for being a "big bastard. "

"Brother Chao!" Xia Zhi suddenly said, "I know. You're not happy looking at me. You've also been unhappy. But let me tell you, I've thought it through now. And when I saw that Si Min performed so well today, I suddenly felt like my entire body was filled with motivation. I feel that. . . Whether it was becoming a professional athlete or joining the national team. . . This is the path of life I choose. Since I have chosen this path, no matter how difficult it is, No matter how difficult it is, I must continue on. Now, I just want to get better as soon as possible. I want to go back to the national team as soon as possible and start from scratch. Train well. I want to go to the Olympic Games, even in my dreams! I will do my best for this goal. Brother Chao. . . You will help me, right?"

" Mmm, Xia Zhi, I'll definitely help you achieve this goal as well. " Lin Yichao said, "Not only will I help you return to the national team and stand on the Olympic field, I will also help you win the Olympic championship! I, Lin Yichao, will do what I say! "

Xia Zhi nodded. "I knew you would say that. Hmm, looks like I didn't choose the wrong boyfriend! "

Xia Zhi's smile became bright.
