play off

Xiang Mingqiu stood in a daze in the distance, watching the distance between the back figure in front of her and her gradually getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared at the end of the botanical garden.

After a long time, he finally came back to his senses, quickened his pace and chased towards the sports field, wanting to thank him face to face.

Duan Yan has just finished the triple jump finals of the sophomore men's group, and a group of classmates surrounded him happily, it seems that he should have won a good ranking.

He was always the most eye-catching presence in the crowd, and he was a little dazed when he was separated from Mingqiu by a considerable distance.

He took a deep breath, finally mustered up the courage, and was about to go forward, but was stopped by the students beside him, who dragged him to take endless pictures.

Wearing the costume of the mascot is conspicuous no matter where he goes. The classmates who came to him to take pictures changed wave after wave, and he couldn't get away at all.

In the end, I had no choice but to sneak back to the art building under the pretext of urinating again.

Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of a set of school uniforms thrown in the recycling bin in the corridor, perhaps a classmate thought it was too dilapidated and threw it away.

Xiang Mingqiu paused, turned his head to look around for a while, took advantage of no one around, quickly walked over and fished the school uniform out of the recycling bin,

With his school uniform on, he quickly ran into the toilet to try it out. The trouser legs were a little shorter, but they fit well overall.

Put on the same clothes as the other students, so that you can smoothly blend in the crowd without being noticed so easily.

When there is no competition, most of the students stay in their class area to chat and play with each other.

Duan Yan didn't go to the game, nor was he in the rest area of ​​Class 7 ([-]).

Xiang Mingqiu searched all over the playground, and finally found that figure at the gate of the school.

With the indescribable excitement surging in his heart, he wanted to walk in the direction of Duan Yan, but just as he stepped out with one foot, he retracted it the next second.

The reason why he hesitated was Duan Chenglin and Xia Lerong who were standing beside Duan Yan at the moment.

Although he had seen many photos of Duan Chenglin on the Internet before, Xiang Mingqiu saw a real person for the first time until today.

It is said that they are father and son, but since Xiang Mingqiu's birth, he has never had any intersection with Duan Chenglin.

Seeing that his biological father was just a few feet away, he didn't have much emotional fluctuations in his heart.

Xiang Mingqiu didn't know the purpose of Duan Chenglin and Xia Lerong coming to school, but Duan Yan seemed to be in a very happy mood.

Holding up a bunch of medals in his hands, he showed his parents his best results on the field.

Duan Chenglin smiled and said some compliments to his son, and Xia Lerong handed his mobile phone to a passing classmate, asking him to take pictures of their family of three.

Xiang Mingqiu remembered that Duan Yan once said that the relationship between his parents was not very good.

But at least at this moment, the whole family had smiles from their hearts on their faces, immersed in a happy atmosphere.

Xiang Mingqiu knew very well that this was the best time for him to have a face-to-face conversation with Duan Chenglin. Once today was missed, it would be extremely difficult to find another opportunity next time.

Even so, Xiang Mingqiu had no intention of taking any action. He just stood in the distance, watching the interaction between Duan Yan and his parents.

Then, he turned around silently and returned to the crowd on the playground.

The 4×100-meter relay race of the senior three group will start after 10 minutes. During the idle period of waiting for the race, the school radio began to play songs.

An inspiring song "Red Sun" was sung loudly, and the loud and clear singing sounded through the air, floating in every corner of the campus.

Even if the fate is ups and downs, even if the fate is twists and turns

Even if fate threatens you, it's not fun to be a human being

Don't cry and be sad, don't give up

I wish to be with you forever

......

......

In the evening, Xiang Mingqiu was walking on the way back.

In the end, he didn't go to find Duan Chenglin either, but he didn't regret it.

From time to time, he put his hand into his pocket, touched the bank card inside, and kept recalling the words Duan Yan said to himself in the botanical garden in his mind.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had regained his motivation in life.

Following Duan Yan's example, he walked, jumped up from the spot, made a shooting motion, and then hummed "Red Sun" in a low voice.

I have to go through all the twists and turns in my life

Since when have you been with me give me warm pats

Like the fire of the red sun igniting the real me

You can walk through thousands of mountains together

......

......

Although 5 yuan is far from enough to repay the debts owed by his family, for Xiang Mingqiu who is currently in serious trouble, this money has indeed helped him a lot.

After that, he worked part-time while studying by himself.

He does not have the backing of a wealthy family, and his fate is full of twists and turns.

Because of this, he couldn't admit defeat even more, no matter how hard and tired he was, he had to fight it to the end.

He swore to himself in his heart that no matter what kind of difficulties he encountered in the future, he must grit his teeth and overcome them.

He will no longer be bullied by others, and if someone provokes him, he will return everything to the end.

He must rely on his own strength to open up a broad road for himself and live the life he once dreamed of.

Later, he spent nearly ten years, tasted the sweetness and bitterness of the world, and finally fulfilled the promise he made to himself at the beginning.

On many nights, whenever he lay in bed and looked at the dark ceiling above his head, he would unconsciously recall that afternoon of the school sports meeting.

He always felt that "encountering" that boy was the most correct thing he had ever done in his life.

Now that the boy has grown up, he can no longer remember the past experience.

But it doesn't matter, he will remember it in his heart for a lifetime.

After putting the letter back into the wooden box, Xiang Mingqiu went back to bed and lay down.

After closing and opening his eyes several times, he found that he couldn't fall asleep at all.

Just then a thought popped into my mind.

He turned over, picked up the mobile phone beside the pillow, opened the browser, typed Duan Yan's name and yo-yo in the input box, and searched for keywords.

Some of Duan Yan's previous deeds in the circle came out immediately.

Even though more than ten years have passed, there are still many videos of his games on the Internet.

Xiang Mingqiu doesn't know much about yo-yos, at most, he watched a Japanese animation with related themes when he was young.

The seemingly impossible exaggerated moves made by the original animation characters can also be restored in reality.

Duan Yan is the only domestic player who has won two consecutive 2A and 3A championships at the World Championships.

For a long time, yo-yo competitions have been monopolized by American and Japanese players, but Duan Yan's appearance unexpectedly broke this situation.

He won the world championship for the first time when he was 12 years old. At that time, he caused a great sensation. Many people in the industry called him a genius with inestimable potential.

It's a pity that he only stayed in this circle for two short years before saying goodbye completely.

If Duan Chenglin hadn't stopped Duan Yan from continuing to pursue his favorite things, what would Duan Yan's life be like today?

Naturally Xiang Mingqiu doesn't know about this kind of thing, but from the past competition videos, he can see that every time he stands on the stage of the competition, Duan Yan's face will always show unconcealable excitement and joy smile.

Xiang Mingqiu knew that he must really like this matter, and enjoyed it comfortably.

Before he knew it, Xiang Mingqiu moved his fingers, and he transformed every smiling expression of the little boy in the video into screenshots.

He wanted to save them all, to watch them over and over again in the future.

After capturing the picture, Xiang Mingqiu entered WeChat and opened Duan Yan's chat page.

The chat records of the two still remain on the day Xia Lerong was hospitalized.

Ever since Duan Yan said he had something to do and left the kennel, he hasn't sent him any messages until now.

After all, Duan Yan is not a child, he has the ability to take good care of himself, Xiang Mingqiu believes that it is absolutely impossible for him to have any personal safety problems.

He stared at the dialog box, and after a long pause, he typed two lines.

[Xiang Mingqiu]: Where are you?

【Xiang Mingqiu】: I miss you
