Xiao, but saw Lao Hu, he was dragging the floor slowly by himself, with his head lowered as if he was preoccupied, I stood at the door for a long time before he found me.

"Qiao Mai?" The old guy looked at me in surprise, "Is there something wrong? Just mop the floor with me."

Damn you didn't even give me a chance to answer, so why do you have to ask more questions!

Old Hu said something, and no matter how reluctant I was, I could only pick it up with a mop.Mopping the floor with Director Hu, I seemed to have regained the fear that I happened to walk with the head teacher after school.

I can't ask Ling Xiao personally, but since He Ming has also been in the national team, maybe Lao Hu can know something.When our mops came together tacitly, I mustered up the courage to strike up a conversation with the "head teacher": "Aren't you talking about sponsorship with President Li, and the talk is over so soon?"

"Just sign it, not calligraphy."

I coughed: "Director Hu, do you know He Ming?"

Lao Hu stopped the mop and looked up at me, then lowered his head helplessly after a while: "He told you all..." After rubbing the mop back and forth on the ground twice, he suddenly frowned suspiciously, "No, Ling It's impossible for Xiao to tell you these things," he said, raising his head and glaring at me, "You brat, don't talk to me!"

I rely on Lao Hu's IQ to be quite high!I watched Old Hu pushing a mop around the training hall in a fit of rage, and I simply used the provocative method: "I heard people say by accident, the national team is too unkind, just because they came out of the closet, they sent them to the training hall." Removed..."

Before I finished speaking, the old Hu's mop hit the floor with a "boom", which scared me to death.

"Who did you listen to?! Director Liang is that kind of person?!"

Liang Zhonghui was the head coach of the national team back then and also Lao Hu's mentor. I can understand how angry he is.I carefully put the mop pole up in front of me, lest he come over and beat me up.

Old Hu swallowed a sigh of relief: "That's right, He Ming's incident was quite a big one at the time, and it caused a lot of controversy in the national team and the Sword Association, but Director Liang was eager to love his talent, and he insisted on resisting the pressure from above." Next, try to keep He Ming. He also issued a military order back then. To keep He Ming, he must guarantee that He Ming will win the gold medal in the Olympic saber event, and help the team win the gold medal in the team competition. Otherwise, not only He Ming will leave , Director Liang has to leave as well."

Old Hu couldn't even get angry when he said this. I can imagine how much pressure this is: "But He Ming didn't appear in the international competition?"

"Well," Lao Hu bent down and picked up the mop again, "because not only the pressure from the fencing association, but also from the Ling family, that is, the pressure from Ling Xiao's father. The Ling family can't allow people from their own family to come out anyway. As a gay fencer who came out, he appeared on the international arena. They found evidence that He Ming played in underground competitions, and reported it to the General Administration of Sports, saying that this behavior was not in line with the professional ethics of athletes. It is the juncture of preparing for the Olympics. The whole team Being tormented by these things, He Ming didn't want to hurt the national team and his mentor, so he chose to quit the team, but Director Liang withheld his application for quitting the team, saying that as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he must try hard."

My eyes became hot when I heard it. Sports competition is such a clean world. Which athlete has exhausted his youth and is struggling. Why do those powerful people stretch their hands here? !

"After that, I heard that He Ming flew to the United States to find that person. He said he had asked for leave, but he hadn't actually said hello to Director Liang. Director Liang lied for him, and he just wanted to look forward to his return." After finishing speaking. Old Hu took a long sigh of relief, "It's just that one talent just disappeared. I heard that it was a traffic accident. At that time, Ling Xiao was not yet 15 years old."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and mopped his floor, wiping the floor of the training hall very slowly.The rubbing sound of the old mop scratched my heart, and I was extremely depressed. He Ming did nothing wrong, but he met the worst.

"That person must be Li Rui." I said.

The back of Lao Hu paused, and nodded: "I know what you are thinking. The equipment used by our team for motion capture and analysis can't be used without Lilong's sponsorship. The opponents use international State-of-the-art equipment, now is no longer an era of simply competing for players' personal abilities and coaching abilities, but also an era of competing for technology, besides... he probably wants to make up for it."

I stood in the middle of the empty training hall, as if I could feel the isolation and helplessness of He Ming at that time. I stared at the hunched back of Old Hu, only feeling ironic: "...what else can I make up for?"

"Li Rui said that He Ming has two dreams, one is to stand on the podium of the Olympic champion, and the other is to retire in the future." Lao Hu turned to me and said, "You can also watch Ling Xiao stand on the podium of the Olympic champion podium."

I went to the woods again, originally without much hope, but I didn't expect that Li Rui was still here.He was sitting on a bench with his eyes closed on his back, the sun shining on his forehead.

"Are you thinking of He Ming?"

Saying this name straight to the point should have startled him, he sat up straight and looked at me, and finally gave a wry smile: "...Ling Xiao told you all about it after all."

He didn't tell me that you were the one who abandoned He Ming. I'm afraid you don't know He Ming's younger brother at all.I asked, "Did you really kill He Ming?"

Unexpectedly, Li Rui admitted it very simply: "Yes."

"Why?" I couldn't help it, "Why did you leave him at that time?! If you feel that you love the wrong person, regret it and don't want to love anymore, can you let him go earlier? Why do you want to kill him after he has nothing? Just leave him?!"

"That's right, I have nothing..." Li Rui arched his back, staring at the empty bench beside him, "If it were you, what would you do?"

"Bullshit, of course I won't leave him!" With this vague allusion in my mouth, I was thinking about Ling Xiao. If he also lost everything because of me, I would feel guilty and hate it too late. How could I leave him? Is it over? "He has nothing left, only you..."

Li Rui took a deep breath: "Do you want to hear it? The story is a bit long, and I haven't told anyone about him for a long time. I think maybe I should tell you, for you...for you."

Let's start from the beginning. Li Rui met He Ming when he was learning swords in the fencing gym. They were 19 years old when they met.He learned sword just for fun, but when He Ming picked up the sword, it seemed like a weapon to conquer his dreams.

"He is different from me in every way," Li Rui said, "When he picked up the sword and stood opposite me, I completely forgot my steps and movements. Yes. Walking out of the fencing gym, I was a winner in life among young people at that age. My family was poor with only money, and I was not bad looking. I was good at playing billiards and tennis. Played it all over again. But when I arrived at the fencing gym, I was only cut off by that person again and again. I was very unconvinced at first, but later I found out that this person is so strong, but his life is so monotonous and boring. Every day except Going to school, practicing sword, just caring for my younger brother to go to school, teaching him how to practice sword. In my eyes, the colorful world is just a long road to the top in his eyes. I have seen many dazzling people, and there are also many clean people. But I've never seen anyone as clean and shiny as him."

It sounds like another clichéd story about a dude who finds true love, but because the protagonist is He Ming and I already know the ending of the story, it sounds a bit uncomfortable.What made me even more uncomfortable was that He Ming didn't respond to Li Rui at first. He knew the situation in his family very well, and he probably felt that he and Li Rui were people from two worlds. However, according to Li Rui's own words, at that time He is so entangled like a piece of dog skin plaster, he knows that sooner or later he will be able to impress He Ming.

He was not mistaken, in He Ming's monotonous and boring life, the passionate and persistent self who could always create surprises in different ways was like rain from the tropics.

People are crazy when they fall in love. Li Rui said that in those days, he forgot that he was the only child in his family. His marriage had long been a political game. Even if he thought about it, it seemed that it was not so important. Still young and rebellious, like all young and rebellious people, he thought that if he had love, there was nothing he couldn't handle. In the future, he had already decided to go with that person, and it was him. In order to refuse a political marriage, he disregarded Everything came out to the family, and this act of declaring war shocked his family.

"It was my unilateral decision to bring He Ming out to his father. From the beginning to the end, I never asked He Ming's opinion. He didn't even know that I drove to pick him up excitedly that day, but I actually wanted to take him to see him. My father. Too young and overwhelmed by love. I grew up with nothing to worry about. I have never encountered setbacks. I feel that nothing in the world is difficult for me. Coming out to my family is also a kind of confession to him. Determination, the way to surprise him."

It never occurred to me that in my eyes Li Rui is synonymous with "mature", and the dog skin plaster that can't be shaken off should be the description used on me.

"My father was furious. I knew he would be angry. I don't care if I get out of here. I just don't allow my marriage to be used as a tool of the family." Li Rui said, "But I didn't expect him to I will unite with the Ling family and suppress me, but also suppress He Ming. I regretted my recklessness, went with He Ming to meet Ling Xiao's father, and admitted to his parents that He Ming was just acting with me, and he was just helping me get rid of marriage, but He Ming denied my words to my face. I remember that
