Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 278 Joining the national team, Chang Xingyu being teased

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Coach Cai, we are preparing to go out for dinner together. Come with us and we can talk while we eat."

Cai Yongxiang smiled heartily: "Then I won't be polite!"

The group walked into Songhelou, a well-known old-fashioned Suzhou cuisine restaurant in Nanjing. The facade with carved beams and painted buildings exuded the style of an old-fashioned state-owned restaurant.

Lin Yuan led everyone upstairs with familiarity. The celadon tableware was neatly arranged on the Eight Immortals Table by the window on the second floor.

Everyone ordered some signature dishes such as beauty liver, squirrel fish, prawns, and eight-treasure gourd duck.

While waiting for the dishes, Lin Yuan glanced at everyone one by one and introduced them, "I will introduce them to you in the order in which I know them.

This is my mother, and this is my sister.

This is my teacher, Wen Qinghua, and this is Wen’s sister, Wen Xue. They are both graduate students at Nanjing University now and have helped me a lot in my studies.

This is the head coach of the provincial team, Coach Li, who discovered and trained me and led me to the path of archery. This is the head coach of the national team, Coach Cai. "

Lin Yuan chuckled, his voice slightly heavy: "Coach Cai, I am honored to have your recognition. But here are my family, and there are so many people I can't bear to leave..."

His eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and finally lingered on Wen Xue's face for half a second. This brief eye contact was enough to make Wen Xue's cheeks hot and her heartbeat quicken like a drum.

Cai Yongxiang said anxiously, "Lin Yuan, I know you have concerns, but the national team can also coordinate home leave. If you miss home, just come back from Yanjing. Don't lose the opportunity to change your destiny because of hesitation."

"Now is the critical period for our country to 'break out of Asia and go to the world'. If you miss the opportunity to win honor for the motherland, I think you will never be willing in your life."

"It's time to prove Chinese sports to the world. Join the national team and you will be the one to shoulder this mission!"

"Just think about how proud those people who are looking forward to your success will be when the five-star red flag is raised because of you!"

"And once you join the national team, you don't have to worry about not having opportunities to play. As long as you maintain your current level, you will be the main player in the Asian Games next year."

Lin Yuan's face was calm, and no emotion could be seen. Wu Xiulan, who was standing beside him, gently patted the back of her son's hand and took the lead in expressing her opinion: "Coach Cai, I will listen to my son on this matter. Whatever he says is what counts."

Qiao Sanli heard that this person seemed to want her brother to leave Nanjing, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous, with a bitter look on her face.

Wen Qinghua and Wen Xue sat quietly aside, looking at Lin Yuan with concern. They knew that this young man always had his own opinions.

Lin Yuan looked at Cai Yongxiang firmly: "Coach Cai, I understand what you mean. Of course, I also want to win glory for my country. But the real reason is that even if I don't train with the national team, my strength will not decline. If you don't believe me, you can ask Coach Li. In fact, I didn't train much with the provincial team."

Li Jinbo nodded seriously and said, "Lin Yuan comes to the provincial team for training very seldom during the summer vacation, but his level has always been very high."

Lin Yuan did not keep the secret any longer and expressed his thoughts: "Coach Cai, I can join the national team, but I hope to stay in Nanjing most of the time and take two or three months every year to go to Yanjing for training."

Cai Yongxiang frowned and hesitated: "This... the national team has never had such a precedent."

Lin Yuan said with a firm tone, his eyes revealing unquestionable confidence: "In the national team selection, I will make it to the main force based on my strength. If I don't win the championship in the international competition, I will honestly stay in the national team to train and never make any requests again."

The young man's powerful words attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing that Cai Yongxiang was still hesitating, Lin Yuan added: "If it really doesn't work, you can also recruit me before the international competition."

Li Jinbo, who was standing beside Cai Yongxiang, quickly took over the conversation: "Coach Cai, you can be absolutely confident in Lin Yuan's abilities. This kid has a very high level of comprehension. With his talent, two or three months of training every year will fully achieve the training effect."

Cai Yongxiang stroked his chin and thought for a moment, his expression still solemn: "How do we arrange the training in Nanjing? The equipment and guidance are not as good as the national team."

Lin Yuan said without hesitation: "Let Coach Li be promoted to deputy coach of the national team, let him go to the national team to learn from experience, and then stay in Nanjing to guide my training."

As soon as these words came out, Li Jinbo looked at Lin Yuan in surprise, his eyes full of surprise and emotion. He didn't expect Lin Yuan to help him like this.

From the provincial team to the national team, this is an opportunity that many coaches dream of.

Cai Yongxiang took a deep breath and slammed the table heavily: "Okay! Special talents deserve special treatment. I'll take a chance with you! Don't let me down!"

Lin Yuan raised his lips in a confident arc and responded firmly: "I never let down those who believe in me."

At this time, the waiters started to serve the dishes. Lin Yuan asked everyone to start eating, and then picked up a piece of shrimp for Qiao Sanli beside him.

At the following dinner table, there was constant drinking and laughter, and both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.

In front of the mottled red lacquer door of Songhe Tower, after Lin Yuan bid farewell to Li Jinbo and Cai Yongxiang, he turned around and looked at the Wen siblings. With a hint of apology on his face, he said, "Teacher Wen, I have a few words to say to Sister Wen alone."

Wen Qinghua nodded in understanding and walked away.

Lin Yuan turned around and told Wu Xiulan and Qiao Sanli: "Mom, Sanli, just wait for me here for a while."

Then he took Wen Xue to a relatively quiet place nearby.

Wen Xue looked at Lin Yuan with some curiosity, not knowing what he wanted to say to her.

"Sister, you are so beautiful today, just like a fairy."

The tips of Wen Xue's ears were instantly flushed with a layer of pink, and even her earlobes felt slightly hot. She lowered her eyes, her eyes were slightly rippling, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

Originally, Wen Xue had always felt that after returning to the city from the countryside, nothing could revive her broken heart. However, every time she came into contact with Lin Yuan, she felt that her heart had become younger, so much so that she even dressed up carefully today.

She deliberately kept her voice very steady, pretending to be calm and scolding, "You talk as if you have seen a fairy."

"I see it now." Lin Yuan looked directly at Wen Xue with burning eyes. Wen Xue felt her heartbeat suddenly quicken, and the thumping sound became clearer in her ears.

People say that wearing glasses with a bag makes a difference, but I don’t know when I’ll experience it.

This perfect ambiguity made Wen Xue enjoy and indulge in it. As a woman who got married and had children without ever being in a relationship, she felt as if she had returned to her youthful years full of excitement.

Lin Yuan suddenly stretched out his left hand, gently grasped her wrist, and placed the box containing the Shanghai watch in Wen Xue's palm, "Sister, this is a gift from me to Teacher Wen. I'm afraid if I give it to him directly, he will refuse, so I have to ask for your help."

Wen Xue looked at the object in her hand and said subconsciously: "This is what you won."

She didn't want to refuse on behalf of Wen Qinghua, but she felt that Lin Yuan should keep such a precious and commemorative item for himself.

Lin Yuan waved his hand, smiled and made an excuse: "I don't need it now, it's more suitable for college students like Teacher Wen to wear it."

“Sister, you must remember to ask Teacher Wen to accept it. If he doesn’t agree, I will hold you accountable.” Lin Yuan added half-jokingly.

Wen Xue nodded gently: "Okay, I'll give it to him for you."

"Then...see you next time."

Wen Xue walked quickly to Wen Qinghua and handed over the small box containing the watch: "This is a gift from your student. I was afraid you wouldn't accept it, so I asked you to give it to me."

Wen Qinghua took the box with some surprise. He thought something might have happened, but when he thought about it, the age and status difference between the two was so big. To exaggerate a little, Wen Xue watched Lin Yuan grow up.

He couldn't wait to open the box, thinking that when Lin Yuan was admitted to university in the future, he would also prepare a generous gift for him.

Lin Yuan turned around and returned to Wu Xiulan and Qiao Sanli. He squatted down, opened his arms, and smiled brightly at Qiao Sanli: "Sanli, do you want a hug?"

Qiao Sanli cheered and threw herself into his arms, her two little arms tightly around Lin Yuan's neck.

Lin Yuan held Sanli steadily, and when he stood up, he said to Wu Xiulan: "Mom, let's go to the department store and buy a TV."

Qiao Sanli's joy at learning that Lin Yuan would not leave had not yet subsided. She excitedly kissed him on the side of his face and shouted crisply, "Let's go buy a TV."

……

When Lin Yuan's family returned to Shamao Lane with the dark green TV box, a few little kids followed behind them, jumping and shouting excitedly. In the blink of an eye, half a street of people gathered behind them.

"Sister Wu, is that a TV that Xiao Yuan is holding?"

"This TV is not easy to buy. What did I say? Xiao Yuan has always been a hard-working kid since he was young!"

"Sister Wu, can I come to your house and watch TV every day from now on?"

Wu Xiulan has never been a person who likes to show off, but after hearing these compliments, she couldn't help but feel happy.

She smiled and replied, "This TV is the reward my child got for winning the archery competition! If you are free tonight, come and watch it."

For fellow villagers, it is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone.

In this era, televisions were rare items, and the most valuable electrical appliance in most households was just a flashlight. Moreover, Lin Yuan was so capable, and everyone wanted to get closer to him, perhaps they could benefit from him in the future.

People are all the same. They are simple and honest, and they are also trendy.

But what everyone doesn’t know is that this is not an ordinary black and white TV, but a color TV.

Lin Yuan moved a cabinet out of the house, carefully placed the color TV on it, and then fiddled with the antenna to adjust the signal.

"Come out, come out."

"There's a picture!"

“It’s colorful!”

The adults stretched their necks, the children crowded in the front row, and even the kids from the Qiao family next door, Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei, were watching with their eyes fixed.

As for Qiao Yicheng, he must have been embarrassed to come here. As time passed, he knew that what he did was wrong, but he just couldn't bring himself to apologize to Lin Yuan's family.

Of course, even if this hadn't happened, he probably wouldn't have come over. He never likes to join in the fun.

Wu Xiulan stood aside, watching the lively scene, then looked at her son standing in the yard, her heart filled with pride.

……

A new week in the classroom.

Lin Yuan flipped through his textbook casually out of boredom.

Chang Xingyu's two pigtails hung in front of her chest, and were about to bloom. The blue and white school uniform made her eyes and eyebrows look even brighter, and she was full of youthful aura.

"You missed two days of classes again this time. Do you want me to help you make up for it on the weekend?" Her sweet voice was soft and sticky, a unique feature of a young girl.

Lin Yuan turned his head and stared straight at Chang Xingyu until she stared at the ground with her cheeks slightly red and avoided his gaze. Then he smiled and said, "Student Chang, you are really beautiful and kind."

He changed the subject and his tone suddenly became serious: "But, I'm going to the national team."

"Ah?" Chang Xingyu's cherry lips unconsciously opened into a round 'O' shape, and then he subconsciously glanced at the head teacher on the podium.

Lin Yuan explained: "After the game yesterday, the head coach of the national team came to me and asked me to join the national team."

"Do you agree?" Chang Xingyu asked softly.

Seeing Lin Yuan nod, Chang Xingyu felt a little reluctant. As desk mates, they had a very good relationship and often talked and laughed with each other. They also always shared delicious food with each other. If they were to part like this, it would be difficult to meet again.

"Then what about your studies? Your grades are so good, and you said last week that you wanted to be the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Aren't you going to take the college entrance examination?"

"There are top scorers in the college entrance examination every year. If I am not there, there will be others. But I don't want to see the glory of the world champion fall into the hands of another country!"

Chang Xingyu opened his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of admiration.

She had always thought that Lin Yuan was good at studying, but she didn't expect that he had such great ambitions.

Lin Yuan suddenly asked: "Chang Xingyu, will you miss me?"

Chang Xingyu nodded seriously, and then asked reluctantly: "When are you going to Yanjing?"

"It's too early, maybe next summer vacation." Lin Yuan had a mischievous smile on his face.

Chang Xingyu heard this and wanted to kick Lin Yuan in shame and anger, but Lin Yuan's legs easily twisted her ankles, making her unable to move forward or backward. The body temperature and touch came through the fabric, and such close contact made her very shy: "Let me go."

"You are allowed to kick me, but I am not allowed to fight back?" Lin Yuan tightened his knees and changed the position of Chang Xingyu's calf.

"You were the one who lied to me first." Chang Xingyu kicked his toes in the air twice in vain.

Lin Yuan will go to Yanjing only next summer vacation, but he deliberately made it seem like he was leaving right away.

"How did I lie to you? I did join the national team, but I didn't say I would go to Yanjing right away. I only need to go there for two or three months every year." Lin Yuan reluctantly let her go: "By the way, you haven't told me yet, how much you will miss me?"

"Glib tongue!"

Chang Xingyu was very shy. This man obviously wouldn't leave immediately, but he set a trap for him and asked him if he would miss him.

However, she was still happy when she thought that Lin Yuan would stay in Nanjing and in school most of the time.

I just don't know if they can be assigned to the same class again and continue to sit at the same table when they are in the second year of high school and the classes are divided into arts and science classes.

Lin Yuan poked her tight thighs with his fingertips, coaxed her softly for a while, and told her a few jokes from later generations. Chang Xingyu finally couldn't hold back and laughed softly.

……

The midterm exam for the first year of high school is coming soon.

There are nine subjects in total: Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, biology, politics, history and geography.

Just after handing in the last test paper, Lin Yuan went to Ma Suqin’s newly opened store to see if there was anyone who needed help.

Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance here.

Li Heman.

This man has been out of prison for some time.

Originally, Lin Yuan just wanted to ruin Li Heman's reputation, but he didn't expect that this beast was a repeat offender. He harassed children more than once or twice, so he was beaten up and sent to jail for three years.

On the contrary, Lin Yuan wanted to punish him, but he was helpless.

Now he is a lonely man. His two sons disown him and won't let him into the house. He can only make a living by doing odd jobs.

I wanted to buy some gifts today to see if my sons have calmed down.

To deal with hooligans, you must use hooligan methods.

Lin Yuan found a prostitute.

The next day, a piece of news spread in Shamao Lane.

Li Heman forced himself on a woman and was kicked by her. He was sent to the hospital first, but he was bound to go to jail after leaving the hospital.

He tried hard to explain to Uncle Hat that he came to Park, but as soon as he took off his pants, the woman went crazy and kicked him in the crotch, making him infertile.

Li Heman already has a history of child molestation. Who would believe the words of such a person? And why would Park Chang choose a place like a park? It is full of loopholes.

Now, Li Heman’s two sons could no longer hold their heads up in Shamao Lane.

……

As expected, Lin Yuan was still ranked first in the grade in this midterm exam.

Not only was he leading by a huge margin in the total score, but he was also first in all nine subjects.

Even though he missed so many days of school.

In an instant, he was surrounded by a crowd of people. The boys held up his test paper and whispered about how to solve the problem, while the girls gathered around his desk and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Facing the endless praise, Lin Yuan only raised the corners of his lips and smiled faintly: "I'm just lucky and have some talent."

After everyone left, Lin Yuan touched the girl's thigh with his knee and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"I feel like you know everything and you don't need my help on weekends." Chang Xingyu pouted, looking a little unhappy.

She did well in the exam this time, ranking twelfth in the whole grade.

"How could that be? Without your help, I wouldn't have done so well in the exam. If I tell others, what if others also ask you for extra lessons? I don't want to see others bothering you."

Chang Xingyu's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed, his eyebrows curved, and his pursed lips couldn't hide his smile.
