The night was dark, the boys were full of energy, and the wall clock on the wall that accurately told the time became a decoration. Zhou Yan couldn't resist the invasion of sleepiness, and was ready to say hello to everyone and go upstairs to sleep.

"Hugh, if we have a party here late at night, will it disturb your family?" Kari asked.

Hugh replied: "Don't worry, in order to give us a relaxed party atmosphere, my mother went to a friend's house, and my father and sister are abroad."

"Very good," Mikhail nodded, "Adolf, I'd like to have another Manhattan, thank you."

Hugh sat down next to Brett, feeling the indentation of the sofa, and Brett raised his glass to him.

Hugh took a sip of clear beer and said, "It's a good thing you don't need NASA training now, otherwise, we can only toast with mineral water bottles."

Brett sighed: "You and Mihail's thinking logic is indeed in the same line."

"The first round of the match between us is over." Hugh said with a confident tone, as if he was commenting on all these years.Looking at Brett's gaze, Hugh continued, "We have each other's winners and losers."

Knowing exactly what Hugh was referring to, Brett said: "It's not like you don't have opportunities to overtake in corners."

Hugh leaned on the sofa comfortably: "Who taught you to lay shortcuts on the runway in advance?"

Time is really a great thing. The two people who wanted to use all kinds of straightforward words to confront each other can already use metaphors calmly.

Ignoring Brett's silence, Hugh continued: "Before the second round of the competition is over, I hope you can reach space, as you said before. After all, if the gap between us is too wide, This game is not going to be fun.”

"Okay," Brett replied without hesitation, "You remember to tune the TV channel to NASA TV in advance to watch the live broadcast."

……

During the whole week of vacation, Zhou Yan and Brett did not fulfill their planned itinerary to travel around the world, but spent all their time in Germany. Apart from celebrating Hugh’s birthday, what impressed Zhou Yan the most was The final of the European group stage of the [-]WD World Championship in Berlin.

Zhou Yan and Brett sat in the VIP viewing booth with Mihail, who was holding a stack of free tickets. Before the start of the game, according to the usual practice, the opening ceremony was for the finalists to tour the venue for a week.Amidst the deafening cheers, Carlo entered the arena with his Excalibur, which had undergone countless rounds of replacement parts but still looked the same.

Zhou Yan commented: "Unexpectedly, Carlo is still a very nostalgic person."

When the Excalibur passed in front of their eyes, Carlo, who had always been aloof, waved at them.

Surprised, Zhou Yan looked at Mihail and Hugh who calmly waved at Carlo, and slowly closed her wide-open mouth.

The whole game was almost reduced to Carlo's personal show. Carlo, who has long occupied the top three in the world player rankings, still has a crushing strength in this kind of primary competition, while the performance of the members of the German team at home is not good. As you wish.The originally lively stadium gradually became silent, only the host's commentary was still as enthusiastic as ever, and Carlo, who took the lead, was unmoved at all.

The game ended quickly, Carlo won the championship medal at the home court of the German team, and Hugh took the lead in applauding.Zhou Yan looked at Mihaier, who was beside her with a bad expression, and said, "Did you suddenly feel a little regretful about leaving the arena?"

Zhou Yan could see that Mihaier's expression was rarely tangled, and Zhou Yan smiled: "I believe that if it were you, you would definitely keep the glory in Germany. But... look at Hugh, how free and easy."

Except for this episode, their days in Germany passed happily and beautifully, which led to Zhou Yan’s dissatisfaction when she was woken up by Brett to go for a morning run the next morning after returning to the United States. The willingness index reached its peak.

Brett dragged Zhou Yan out of the door, and Zhou Yan leaned her head on Brett's shoulder, half asleep and half awake: "Let me sleep for a while."

"Don't get your drool on my clothes," Brett sneered.

Zhou Yan shot back instinctively: "Then let me go back to sleep."

Seeing that Zhou Yan's good self-control ability has been completely lost, Brett, who has nothing to do with this huge burden that hangs on him with an extremely strong sense of existence, has no choice but to drop the bombshell: "I will have the next physical examination on the weekend gone."

For Zhou Yan, who hadn't fully regained her senses, this sentence spun around in her mind, and she grabbed it back when she was about to float out of her consciousness: "You said——you want a medical examination?"

Seeing the corners of Brett's mouth curled up, and then nodded, Zhou Yan immediately stood up straight: "Then let's go to exercise quickly, don't delay any longer!"

Brett couldn't help laughing at the back of Zhou Yan who was running away because of his words. He did take many detours in order to reach space, but he has already found the most important shortcut for him.

After their morning run, Zhou Yan not only completely locked Brett's computer, but also confiscated all of Brett's textbooks.Zhou Yan was writing course papers on the other side, and Brett could only return to the oldest form of entertainment, listening to random music played on the stereo.

Brett was really bored sitting alone, and quietly stood behind Zhou Yan who was writing very engrossed.Zhou Yan was thinking hard about the topic assigned by the professor, and reached for the water glass with her other hand.Brett suddenly wanted to play tricks on her, and took the water glass in his hand.

Zhou Yan, who was staring at homework, groped for a long time but still had no results. When she looked up, she found that Brett, who was holding a water glass, was laughing uncontrollably.

Zhou Yan was speechless, and quickly pushed Brett back to his original position, and put on the blindfold on him involuntarily.

Brett said dissatisfiedly: "I have abnormal intraocular pressure, not vision loss."

Zhou Yan twitched the corners of her mouth, "You are so irrational, I really have the urge to put on a mask for you now."

On the day when Brett made an appointment with the doctor, Brett was eating the nutritious NASA meal with a relaxed face, while Zhou Yan was too nervous to taste the tempting cod filet and Hawaiian salad on the plate. delicious.

"Relax," Brett said.

Zhou Yan laughed. At this time, it was Brett who comforted her.

Brett continued: "In any case, what I got now is much more than what I expected, so no matter what the result will be today, I will accept it with joy."

Zhou Yan became at a loss because of Brett's sudden confession, only her eyes were slightly hot, she quickly lowered her head, stirring the sauce in the salad with a fork helplessly.

Brett's steady voice continued to ring in her ears: "Also, no matter whether my eyes get better or not, I don't have to wear an eye patch every day, which is something to be happy about in itself."

"..." Zhou Yan shook her hand, and inserted the fork into the tomato, slightly splashing the juice.She looked up and saw the playful light in Brett's eyes, this annoying guy, can't he be tender and tender all the way to the end?

In the quiet examination room, the eye pressure tester is still close to the eyes, and the electric current passing through the skin slightly trembles. With the adjustment of the focus, the color in front of Brett's eyes is also showing strange changes, just like his childhood. A kaleidoscope of clock love.The examination time this time was longer than before, and Brett felt that the doctor was constantly adjusting the angle of the measuring instrument.

The instrument was taken off by the doctor, and Brett looked at the doctor with some anxiety before he fully adapted to the bright sunlight in the room.

The doctor stared at the inspection report spit out from the printer for a while, then turned to Brett and said, "Congratulations, you are ready to fill out the application form for resuming training."

What winter has taken from you, spring will give back to you.When Brett walked out of the medical school building that he had frequently reported to for several months, he saw the dazzling and comfortable light leaning on him in mid-May, Brett recalled those days full of anxiety, worry, and unwillingness , he felt that the happy time now was like a dream.

Zhou Yan looked at the door restlessly.Brett had a medical checkup early in the morning, and it was past noon.

This is already Zhou Yan's third cup of black coffee this morning. She originally wanted to keep her energy high while writing her thesis, but it turned out that throughout the morning, she spent every moment speculating whether Brett's physical examination was successful or not. It's not going well, and the heart can't find a comfortable state in the left and right swings.As time went by, she had only figured out one thing—Brett had become able to control all her moods with ease.

It's better to drink something sweet, Zhou Yan rested her chin on her hand and watched the second hand on the clock pass by without any change, picked up the condensed milk bottle with her hand, and dipped most of it in the black coffee without hesitation.She was about to take another sip of coffee to improve her mood when she heard the door "click".

Zhou Yan stood up with a bang, and saw Brett who opened the door with a flat expression and indistinguishable mood.

Zhou Yan leaned in front of Brett and asked anxiously, "How's the result of the physical examination?"

Brett looked sideways at Zhou Yan, the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, and he nodded slowly.

"Great, great!" Zhou Yan hugged Brett, and Brett saw Zhou Yan, who was always calm and calm, be so happy. Brett, who also seldom showed his emotions, suddenly felt that he had accumulated during this long period. All emotions found an outlet.

However, before Brett's emotion lasted more than a minute, he couldn't suppress his smile because of the scene on the table.Brett said, "Aren't you confident in your blindfold therapy?"

Zhou Yan looked at Brett strangely: "Why do you say that?"

Brett couldn't help laughing. He pointed to the cold coffee on the table: "If you were confident, why did you throw so many toothpicks in the coffee?"

Zhou Yan looked along the direction Brett pointed in surprise——

Wait, wasn't the condensed milk bottle she was holding just now? When did it become a toothpick holder?
