What he said, you hum along with him twice, just treat him as a fart, in fact, he is really doing it for our own good..."

Ling Xiao didn't wait for me to finish, turned around and went upstairs, I had no choice but to follow behind in silence, probably because it was too quiet, when I went up to the second floor, the voice-activated lights went dark.

There was darkness in front of my eyes, and I was about to slap me when a hand grabbed me.

"The voice-activated light on this floor is broken." Ling Xiao said in a deep voice, "It's late, don't wake them up."

It took a long time for my eyes to adjust to the darkness, but I knew he was right in front of me.At this moment, my eyes were darkened, and I fumbled a step towards the direction of the stairs. In the darkness, Ling Xiao suddenly held my hand and asked me, "Are you afraid of the dark?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just that you can't see it, just get used to it for a while..."

He led me upstairs: "I was afraid of the dark when I was a child. Our house is an old house with a big yard and there are forests nearby. After nightfall, there is no sound around. I dare not even turn off the lights when I go to bed at night. My father thought it was bad, so he forced me to turn off the lights and go to sleep. As a result, I couldn’t fall asleep every night, and I didn’t dare to say anything. I’m already in the upper grades of elementary school, and I still dare not turn off the lights to sleep alone. It’s actually quite embarrassing.”

We walked very slowly, two sections of more than ten steps of stairs seemed to have really turned into a deep house, and we could walk for a long time.Ling Xiao never took the initiative to tell me about himself. I was so surprised that I didn't dare to intervene, for fear of interrupting him.

"Later, every night, my brother came to accompany me. I still remember that he told me the same thing as you. He said that it would be fine after a while, but I said I couldn't adapt. People are different. He said that you are not adapting. No, you just need a longer time to adapt than others. He was right, and now my night vision is better than ordinary people."

"Your brother is a very gentle person." Ling Xiao's brother, from the first time he heard about it in the post bar, until today he took the initiative to tell me, it seems to have become clearer in my heart a little bit.We went up the stairs, and every time I followed him up a step and heard one more sentence about him and about his brother, I felt as if I was climbing stone by stone in this heart.Although he suffered from cold violence on campus since he was a child, and has a father who seems to be very strict and unreasonable, but fortunately Ling Xiao has an older brother who loves him very much, "I haven't seen him before, is he abroad?"

Ling Xiao didn't speak, and stopped after walking for a while: "It's here." His voice was so soft that it was almost gentle, so that in the complete darkness, when he put his hand on my neck, I only felt trembling, without a trace of it. Shocked, "Thank you for being with me during this time, I don't have many friends, but this friendship, I adapt well."

Hearing this made my heart sore.

"Good night, Qiao Mai."

The voice left after speaking.My heart was empty and panicked.Like a big dog tenderly petted by a grieving owner.But a dog is always a dog, no matter how human it is, it cannot communicate with the existence of another dimension. It can capture the emotions of its owner, but this ability is useless at all, because it will never understand what it feels .

When my eyes finally got used to the darkness, Ling Xiao was no longer in the corridor, only the balcony at the end of the corridor revealed a starry sky as calm as water.

Back in the dormitory, while washing on the balcony, the phone rang again.It was so late, I thought it was Li Rui who was worried about calling, but I didn't expect the number to come from Li Xin.

"Qiao Mai, I didn't bother you..."

I noticed that she had something on her mind. She accompanied Ling Xiao to today's game. She might know something about Ling Xiao's uncharacteristic events in the game: "No," I said, "I just came back."

"Did you come back with Ling Xiao? I heard from my brother that he left the hospital with you."

"Well, are you okay?"

"I have something to ask you about Ling Xiao."

My heart skipped a beat, and sure enough...

"Qiao Mai, I don't know what's going on. It's his first day as my coach. I wanted to get acquainted with him, so I asked him to chat for a long time, and he didn't refuse..."

"What are you talking about? Are you talking about Li Rui?"

"I talked about everything, and I also talked about my brother..." Li Xin's voice was much lower when she said this, "You know, I don't know what's going on between them, and no one wants to tell me. I'm also a little curious, and I really hope that no matter what barriers there are between them, they can be resolved, after all, one is my brother and the other is someone I like..."

This is the first time I have heard Li Xin say that I like Ling Xiao. Although I guessed it, I am still surprised that she can tell me so frankly. She probably regards me as Ling Xiao’s best friend. It's not a taste, but I can't hate her because she treats each other so frankly.

"I talked to him about my time in the United States, and I also talked about my brother in a selfish way. I thought that if he was unhappy, I would just not talk about it, but he didn't seem to be unusual, and even asked I told me something about my brother, just... when we chatted, he was fine, but when I was learning swords, I felt that he was always weird, and I always felt that his abnormal game today had something to do with it..."

"What did he ask?"

"I don't remember either. You can ask everything, just the kind you would ask in a normal chat. Anyway, I told him everything he asked, about my brother, about me, including how my brother met my sister-in-law. , and the matter of my brother learning fencing before, including my parents and my mother, I also talked a lot... I can't ask him anything, of course I can only talk about myself desperately, I don't know where I made a mistake... "

Li Xin's mind is obviously confused now, because she really likes it and cares about it. I guess I can't find out why even if I ask her hard, but I'm sure it must have something to do with Li Rui, so I can only comfort her: " Maybe it's not your problem, don't think too much, I'll ask him when I have a chance."

"Will he hate me?" Li Xin, such a lively girl, was so frustrated at this moment that she seemed to be a different person, "I really talk too much..."

"If he really hated you, he wouldn't have agreed to be your personal trainer in the first place. At most, he had some opinions on your brother. Stop thinking about it and go to sleep."

After the call ended, I couldn't fall asleep.

He said he wanted to ask Ling Xiao, but he didn't want to talk about it, how could I ask, and even if I did, what could I do for him?

I went to bed and covered myself with the quilt, thinking that it’s fine if he doesn’t want to talk, I don’t care about it, as long as I can be by his side and accompany him.

ROUND8

The next morning I got up early for the morning run as usual, but there was no sign of Ling Xiao on the runway. I thought he might be too tired after last night, and he should get more sleep, and since I came, I ran.

The early morning without Ling Xiao was a bit strange. I ran five laps in one breath, and before I knew it, I was no longer out of breath like before.Looking up, the sky was still vast and silent blue, and there was just a movement of getting up in the dormitory.Think about how I used to be the last one in the dormitory to get up, but in order to catch up with Ling Xiao and get rid of the problem of sleeping late that I thought would never get rid of in my life, I was willing to get up from the warm bed and climb an iceberg.

Ling Xiao didn't show up until the training started. I asked him to go to the cafeteria with him when I was changing clothes in the locker room at noon. He slapped the cabinet and didn't look back: "I still have something to do, you can go by yourself."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you."

"Can't you eat without me?"

I was laughed at by him, but this person spoke in such an angry tone, I was already used to it, so I immediately asked the old Qi Dapang to go to the cafeteria together.

However, Ling Xiao did not come to the cafeteria, nor did he participate in the afternoon training.Not only I find it strange, but also Lao Qi and Fatty.Ling Xiao has never missed training. He, a benchmark of our team with zero lateness record, will miss training?And Lao Hu obviously knew about it, and didn't even ask us where Ling Xiao went.

I was a little worried. After the training, I went to Lao Hu's office and heard Zhang Ting asking Lao Hu to ask for leave outside the door.Old Hu sighed resentfully: "One and two are asking for leave, so tell me, what's the matter with you?"

So Ling Xiao asked for leave?

Zhang Ting said that his sister was hospitalized, and her sister and brother-in-law were divorcing. He was afraid that no one would take care of his sister, so he wanted to ask for leave to go to the hospital to accompany him for three days.

"Three days? What's wrong with your sister and you're going to take care of her for three days?"

Zhang Ting said it was acute gastritis.

Lao Hu smiled like someone who came here: "Don't worry, I used to suffer from acute gastritis too often, it's not that serious. I'll give you a day off and come back before training tomorrow afternoon."

I rolled my eyes, and I knew that Lao Hu, an iron cock, distributed his Olympic dreams equally to each day like cutting a cake, and it was not bad to be able to give this day off.

I thought that with Zhang Ting's character, he would probably accept it silently. I didn't expect that after the old Hu finished speaking, he still stayed in the office, faltering and saying that although my sister has acute gastritis, she is not in a good condition because of the divorce with her brother-in-law. ,need companion.

Lao Hu's tone became very serious: "Zhang Ting, do you know that you are training for the national team. If your sister is sick, I can give you a day off. You can also go to see her on Sunday, but three days? The current training You can't afford to delay any day, so think about it, do you still want to stay in the national team?"

What annoys me the most is that Lao Hu keeps talking about this, so he knocked on the door and shouted "DuangDuangDuang".

Lao Hu looked up and saw me, the boss pulled his face in displeasure: "What's the matter?"

"Report coach, I think you should give Zhang Ting this leave!" I said.

"What do you think?"
