Speed ​​Skating Survival [Apocalypse]

There were ice cubes all around, Xia Bing casually picked up one and squeezed it in his palm, obviously felt cold, but his skin was still warm.

"I'm sorry." He apologized to Chen Zhong again, he had to apologize, and he cut off contact with him that year, not even leaving a letter or a single word.

"No, no need to be sorry." Chen Zhong quickly shook his head, holding Xia Bing's face in his hands, their mouths were separated by the metal mouth mask, and they could only look at each other, "I don't need...you're sorry."

But Xia Bing still shook his head, unexpectedly fragile.Even coach Lang Jian had never seen this fragility before, but it was all exposed in front of a rookie athlete who was not yet an adult.

"You don't have to, but I have to say it." He took out all the words in his heart. On such a night, soaked in ice, he only allowed himself to be vulnerable for a short while.

The grief of almost losing Chen Zhong almost crushed him, allowing him to let go of some defenses and burdens, allowing the true self in his heart to come out and talk about his parents that he has never dared to mention to outsiders.When the fever subsides and the body recovers, he will become the invincible Xia team again, leading the team to continue to survive.

"I'm not used to others coming too close, I'm afraid I won't be able to take responsibility." Xia Bing picked up another piece of ice, and gently slid it on Chen Zhong's forehead to cool down Chen Zhong's high fever, "No contact "It's not your fault, it's my problem."

He picked up another ice cube, bit it in half, sucked half of it himself, and stuffed the other half into the metal mouthpiece, to give Chen Chong a suck.

Chen Zhong opened his mouth and caught it. The two had a mouthful of ice each, and both had a fever.

"Get well soon." Xia Bing smiled and touched the top of Chen Zhong's head, "When you get better, the rescue team will also come. I will take you back to the ice rink and teach you short track speed skating."

"Yeah." Chen Zhong endured the pain and nodded, "I'll be fine soon, tomorrow morning."

"Well, tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning we will all be fine." Xia Bing used ice cubes to freeze Chen's reddened Adam's apple until Coach Lang came in.

Lang Jian saw, why were the two children lying face to face in the ice?

"Xia Bing, you come out first." He stretched out his hand to pull him, "You are different from Chen Chong. He has a virus in his body and must be forced to cool down physically. You yourself have a fever from the cold, and you want to recover if you lie in the ice?" ?”

"I know, I'll come out by myself." Xia Bing is not a hypocritical person. After finishing what he had to say, he took the initiative to step out of the bathtub, "Coach, don't worry about me too much, I'm fine. When it's time to adjust, I will adjust." Faster than anyone..."

"You go back to sleep and I won't worry." Of course Lang Jian knew that Xia Bing adjusted quickly, and he was only able to be the captain because of his strong mental quality.In these years, he had never seen Xia Bing collapse, yesterday was the first time.

Xia Bing followed him obediently, he helped Xia Bing back to the room, buried Xia Bing with a quilt, and fed the medicine himself before he was relieved.Xia Bing didn't make a fuss, just curled up in the bed obediently, and slept as soon as he was told to sleep.

Very obedient, very disciplined, knowing that obeying orders can restore health in the shortest time.

After dealing with this, Lang Jian went to worry about the other side.This in the bathroom is the most headache and worrying, because Chen Zhong's high fever must be caused by the immune system.

Lang Jian didn't know the specific situation. He is an athlete and has some experience in dealing with trauma. Now he is just a half-baked team doctor.

"Come on, get up too, the ice has melted." Half an hour later, Lang Jian supported Chen Zhong and pulled him up steadily, "Put on the bathrobe first, then lie down on the sofa bed, how do you feel now?" ?”

Chen Zhong tightened the strap of his bathrobe. "It seems...it seems to be better."

"After lying down for a while, eat first and then take medicine." Lang Jian helped this person to the position again, and also covered it with a thick quilt.Fortunately, the daily necessities are all brought from Feiyang's house, so we don't have to suffer from the cold anymore.

Chen Zhong leaned on a pillow, watching Lang Jian busy himself, there happened to be a piece of bread next to him, he quickly picked it up and tore it into small pieces, held the small piece of bread with his fingers, and poked it into his mouth.

There is a mouth mask on the face, but fortunately the length of the fingers is enough.

"Yo, do you know you've eaten? All right, if you can eat it, you're almost ready." Lang Jian came out of the bathroom, holding ice cubes wrapped in a towel in his hand, "There are still a lot of ice that can be used, all wrapped up , put it on your body to cool you down."

"Thank you coach." Chen Zhong swallowed hard, even if he didn't have an appetite.

"Eat slowly. A person's illness is like an injury. It doesn't get better right away." Lang Jian saw through his thoughts. He just wanted to get well soon and didn't want everyone to worry. "I'll take your temperature."

Several packs of ice cubes surrounded Chen Zhong, placing them under his neck, under his armpits, on his chest and on the outside of his thighs. The thermometer in Lang Jian's hand pointed at his forehead again. This time, the numbers on the thermometer finally There is good news.

40. Although the fever is still high, it has subsided.and.West.group.hate.

"Okay, not bad, just keep going." Lang Jian went to get another bottle of water and some anti-inflammatory drugs. When he sat on the sofa bed again, he had no strength to walk back and forth again, "Take the medicine by yourself in 10 minutes. , I am an old bone, I can't bear to toss any more."

Chen Zhong touched his forehead, which was starting to cool down, and looked at Coach Lang quietly.

Everyone has always regarded Xia Bing as the backbone of the team, but this person is Xia Bing's backbone.Chen Zhong also had coaches before, but they were all plain. He didn't understand, and he had never been in contact with such a deep relationship between Xia Bing and Lang Jian, so he didn't understand why Xia Bing threw himself on this man when he was most anxious and sad. crying in my arms.

Cry like a child.

Now, he observed the man closely and found something different from before.

Lang Jian has white hair on his head.It is mainly concentrated at the sideburns, but the hair is short, so it is not obvious.But a while ago his hair was jet black.

"What are you looking at?" Lang Jian leaned against a mattress and rubbed his face.

Chen Zhong shook his head, but his eyes were too focused, and people could always find clues.

"You have white hair, right?" Lang Jian smiled.

"En." Chen Zhong nodded, and after soaking in ice cubes for a while, his body temperature dropped by two degrees. His body seemed to be less uncomfortable, and his tinnitus was no longer there.

"Not too much." He added two more sentences, "It's not obvious."

Everyone else in the room fell asleep, and Lang Jian had time to relax.He sighed, but it didn't matter. "It's been there for a long time. It's not just a matter of a day or two. It's too much to worry about in our business. Athletes like you who don't worry about it, wave after wave, it seems like it can't be finished."

Chen Zhong looked at the coach's side face. This was also a man, about the same age as his father, but he was not scary.

The feeling he brings to people is safe, stable, or reliable.

"Xia Bing saves trouble, but athletes like him are rare. Those who engage in sports have a bad temper to some extent. There is no way to control it." Lang Jian also looked at Chen Zhong, "If it didn't happen suddenly , I wanted to hold a welcome party for you."

"I don't need to welcome the newcomers." Chen Zhong took the pills first while he still had strength. It was late at night and the surrounding was quiet, and he also remembered something, "Last time at...at Feiyang's house, you said, you have A daughter?"

Lang Jian silently lowered his head, pinching the bridge of his nose to relax. "Ah, yes, the girl is quite competitive. She is studying abroad."

Chen Zhong didn't know how to ask the question anymore, and regretted mentioning this.

"I have a big temper, follow me, but my hobbies don't follow me, and I don't like skating." These concerns are the last thing Lang Jian wants to mention, but he didn't expect to tell Chen Zhong, "When we quarreled before, she also said She hates me because I'm busy with work and don't go home more than 300 days a year, so she also hates skating and doesn't come to the ice rink to find me."

"I'm sorry." Chen Zhong sat up anxiously.

"What did you tell me, I'm sorry." Lang Jian pushed him back to lie down, and pinched the bridge of his nose again, "I divorced her mother, and her mother didn't want her, so I took her with her. But I really don't have time to accompany her." She, that's why she always complains that the athletes on the ice rink are her own. I picked her up in the trash can. Where is this? A beautiful and bright girl, she hugged my shoulders when she was a child, but it was fun. When she grows up, she has a bad temper with me, and she is stubborn. I told her to study in China, and she got angry with me, maybe because I blamed me for her I don’t care, I insist on running as far as possible, which is good. I went to study abroad and said that I want to study law. I said that studying law is tiring, but she is disobedient. It's broken, I don't know what's going on outside, sometimes I think, it's better to have this virus here, but please...don't go abroad."

Chen Zhong's body trembled when he heard it, or he might really be trembling. "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have mentioned it." He didn't expect that his words would start Coach Lang's chatterbox, but he was stupid and didn't know how to persuade him.

"What's the matter? It's not that I haven't thought about... the worst outcome." Lang Jian fumbled his hand around in his pocket, and when he found it suddenly, he turned to Chen Chong and asked, "Smoking a cigarette, don't you mind?" Bar?"

"I don't mind." Chen Zhong moved his shoulders, his back seemed to be numb, "Actually... I also smoke."

"You're still young, hurry up and quit." Lang Jian pointed one skillfully, but he didn't expect that he would say these words to the most ignorant team member in the team, "Human, live as long as I am!" Only when I was old did I realize that home is not the place to be reasonable. In fact, it is the least necessary to reason with family members. Just spend more time with them. There is nothing wrong with coaxing. I just love reasoning with her too much, thinking that she will understand when I explain it clearly. Now, do you regret it now? Regret is useless."

Chen Zhong moved the ice on his forehead to the top of his head. "We'll all be fine, she'll be back when this is over."

"Two days before the accident, we had a quarrel on the phone, and she said she didn't want me as a father." Lang Jian shook his head helplessly, "So it's not a good thing that father and daughter have too much alike temper, she said she hates me. Me, I said that I never understood what she wanted, and I hung up the phone in anger. Why don’t I understand, I’m a dad, and I always can’t get down this level. It's my father's fault that I get less."

There were still roars of zombies outside, and Chen Zhong felt sore again.

"Okay, I won't talk to you about this." Lang Jian finished his cigarette quickly, and covered Chen Chong again, "There is a sentence that I should have told you long ago, but there are too many things, and I don't have time to think about it so thoroughly Every athlete who joins the team actually has a formal ceremony... Hello Chen Zhong, I am Lang Jian, the head coach of the first speed skating team. I am responsible for managing the life and training of your team. I hope to cooperate with you in future competitions. Happy, now do you have any questions?"

Chen Zhong supported his waist, trying to sit up. "No."

"It's fine if you don't have one. I hope you can abide by the discipline in the team and get on the podium of the champion as soon as possible." Lang Jian patted Chen Zhong on the head, "Welcome to the team."
