[National Table Tennis] Ping pong pong, dream collection

If you talk about Liu Guoliang, someone will definitely think of Kong Linghui.And vice versa.

They met when they were ignorant, and forged a profound revolutionary friendship because of the penultimate and penultimate.Liu Guoliang's puberty came very late, and he hung on Kong Linghui with a bright smile every day. Kong Linghui said that it was Jiaobulimeng, and Liu Guoliang said that it was called collusion.

At that time, Liu Guoliang had great ambitions, but he was so simple that he only wanted to use table tennis to achieve it, and never thought of other ways.Kong Linghui once faced many choices. His father warned him that most people in this world can only do one thing well, so they must choose their favorite. He gave the crayons to his classmates, Since then, I have no distractions.

Yin Xiao is a very strict coach, but after the penalty is over, he will ask Kong Linghui and Liu Guoliang to go to his rented house for dinner, and Cai Zhenhua will sometimes go there, and the two adults will quarrel over training. Arguing and talking together again, the conversation was all about how to deal with the two young men.Liu Guoliang ate with his neck curled up, and looked at Kong Linghui from time to time. If the other party happened to look over, they would look at each other and smile.Like a secret.

In 94, the competition was played in Taipei. To be precise, the seniors went to the competition. The two of them went to play soy sauce. The two of them sneaked out to play the day before leaving. I felt that everything was new. The night of this city was shining, and the girls were gorgeous. And ostentatiously, tall buildings and streets have also changed their images, blurred by the flickering outlines of neon lights.The two of them were afraid of getting separated, so they held each other's hands. Liu Guoliang was busy admiring them, while Kong Linghui was more concerned about the oyster omelets and hot dogs at the night market. On the way back, the two of them each held an ice cream cone, feeling extremely satisfied.They waited for a long time at the minibus stop, biting ice cream, before they realized the fact that they missed the last bus.They didn't have enough money to take a taxi, so they had to walk back along the stop sign.The roads in Taipei are straight and clean, the street lights are soft, the moonlight is so faint that you can’t see it, the wind blows, and the sycamore trees rustle.Kong Linghui walked fast, leaping to the front in three or two steps, and then turned back to wait for Liu Guoliang after walking for a while.

Liu Guoliang couldn't help thinking of what the old people said. There is an animal in the three provinces of Northeast China called roe deer, which is easily frightened and will run away quickly when it is frightened. Only when the opponent is close will he continue to run.Robes are not afraid of cars, if the headlights of the car are turned on, they will run along the lights - Kong Linghui in front of him is just like a silly robe, striding along the street lights, with a clear direction and firm eyes, too firm and too clear , the background was almost blurred in the night, Liu Guoliang was inexplicably flustered, he ran forward for a while, and found Kong Linghui waiting for him at the corner.He propped himself up on his knees and smiled, ran forward and grabbed Kong Linghui's hand, who was in a state of disbelief, and said, Xiaohui, walk slowly.

Kong Linghui nodded.That night, they held hands and walked back to the hotel slowly until two o'clock in the middle of the night.Director Cai stuffed a note on the door.Many years later, Liu Guoliang still misses that night in Taiwan.Some things can only be understood when you recall them.At that time, they didn't realize how ambiguous the two of them looked in the eyes of others. Liu Guoliang thought that this was just the highest form of friendship, and ignored all the details deliberately or not.He was too natural, and Kong Linghui was too calm, so no one could say anything.

Two people won the championship and runner-up in the World Table Tennis Championships. Kong Linghui became the youngest men's table tennis world champion, but the two hugged each other and cried for a long time. After that, they started to play doubles. Times are different.Rather than being opponents, Kong Linghui prefers that the two of them can fight side by side.Liu Guoliang designed a few winning moves that he thought were very cool, but he didn't use any of them. He habitually put on Kong Linghui's waist after winning. He could hear each other's heartbeats so close that he couldn't tell whose was better. In a hurry, sweat sticks together, I don't know whose temperature rises more enthusiastically.

Their doubles cooperated tacitly, and they won the Olympic championship after half a year. Liu Guoliang won the double championship that year, and won the World Cup at the end of the year.Kong Linghui was annoyed that he had lost the foreign war, and he blamed himself extremely. He had to train in the arena until late every night. Liu Guoliang would sometimes accompany him, and he would stop when he saw that he was exhausted.Once, Kong Linghui said hoarsely, "I can still hold on."

"It's me, I'm too tired, let's take a 2-minute break, okay?"

Kong Linghui nodded, and walked towards him, his feet were weak and almost fell, Liu Guoliang quickly caught him, and the two of them fell on the floor of the training venue together, Liu Guoliang held Kong Linghui in his arms, Kong Linghui was covered in sweat, almost slippery He couldn't hold it, but he held it tightly and refused to let go.Kong Linghui didn't have the extra energy to speak, and patted Liu Guoliang's hand on his waist: I'm fine.

That night Liu Guoliang had a strange dream and woke up in the middle of the night. Kong Linghui was sleeping soundly on the next bed. Through the moonlight he saw his face, cold and fair, with an inexplicable sense of cleanliness. Liu Guoliang let himself fall asleep again. At the position of the heart, calm down your heartbeat.Before falling asleep again, Liu Guoliang covered his eyes with his arms and wondered in a daze whether Xiaohui would also dream of me.

When he woke up the next day, Liu Guoliang did not wait for Kong Linghui for the first time, and went to the cafeteria to eat by himself. He felt that the whole world knew his secret, and thought that everyone who asked Kong Linghui had ulterior motives, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.In a panic, when he turned around and saw Kong Linghui's immobile face, he suddenly calmed down.It doesn't matter, Kong Linghui is still Kong Linghui, no one knows his secret, the world is still like this, nothing has changed.Soon after the team changed dormitories, he also started buying magazines like that, and girls with unclear faces began to appear in his dreams.

During the Chinese New Year, there was a one-week holiday. Kong Linghui and Liu Guoliang made an appointment to go to Shenzhen to play.Kong Linghui likes the weather in Shenzhen and Hainan, which is completely different from Harbin, and the winter is also arrogant and bright. Kong Linghui likes everything that is bright and vibrant—Liu Guoliang can say it very frighteningly, including himself.They wear thin clothes through the streets, big and small, to the playground, and when the Ferris wheel is turned to the highest point, they yell out of the window: shouting that I want to be a grand slam, I want to surpass Laowa, and I want to win the Olympics Champion, Kong Linghui stopped for a while, and then called us to be Olympic champions, we all want to be Olympic champions.Then the two smirked at each other, pretending not to know that there was only one singles champion, Liu Guoliang wanted to defend the title, and Kong Linghui wanted to win the Grand Slam.But there is only one singles champion.After venting, they went to try a foreign restaurant that looked expensive and not full. Liu Guoliang watched Kong Linghui's slender fingers pointing at the words on the foreign language menu line by line, and explained the meaning of the English ingredients to himself in a low voice. He just thought it was okay. Order two more dishes.

Because of beauty and food, of course he dared not tell Kong Linghui.

Is this like it? Liu Guoliang in 1998 didn't know, he just felt lost and lost when he was separated from Kong Linghui, and racked his brains to exchange the dormitory together. He thought everything could go on as usual, but he realized later that it was not that simple.Kong Linghui's attitude was a little evasive, and other people couldn't see it at all, but felt that the two of them were more sticky. Only Liu Guoliang knew that his eyes would dodge, and his steps became faster after the game, so he often couldn't catch him.He thought it was a secret ceremony between two people, but now it became a one-man show. Liu Guoliang was a little embarrassed, but he still insisted.He didn't know what to insist on until the Sydney men's doubles final, Kong Linghui took the initiative to grab his hand, put him on his waist, and then patted his hand.

It has always been like this, Kong Linghui has always been like this, he was sensitive to the chaotic emotions that Liu Guoliang couldn't figure out, but suppressed everything with a strong heart.The weather is calm and the waves are calm.Just like when Liu Guoliang was in the most difficult time before, Kong Linghui didn't ask anything, pretending to know nothing, as if the whole world found out that something was wrong with Liu Guoliang, only Kong Linghui didn't.What Liu Guoliang wants is that Kong Linghui didn't find it?

Liu Guoliang wanted to laugh out loud. He encountered the funniest thing in the world. Kong Linghui also had the same feelings for him. Maybe Kong Linghui discovered it earlier than him. Maybe Kong Linghui also hoped that the street in Taipei in 1994 would never end. They could fall together in the arena in 1996 and not get up. When they were riding the Ferris wheel in 1998, maybe he wanted to kiss his face too.

The next day, both of them stood on the podium. Kong Linghui, who had a crew cut, looked strange and familiar. He felt that he was probably the same in Kong Linghui's eyes.He thought that the half-hug he lost in doubles was probably the answer Kong Linghui gave him.Liu Guoliang has Liu Guoliang's difficulties, and Kong Linghui has Kong Linghui's problems. They have no chance to get along without everything, can't let go of table tennis, can't let go of glory, so they will never have a chance to sort out their feelings for each other.

I can only bury my thoughts deeply and let them fall into the world of mortals.

After a long time, they are still best friends.He can talk about Taipei without any grievances, and talk about my youthful years with Director Kong.The same is true for Kong Linghui. When mentioning Liu Guoliang, he still smiles as silly as before, without any impurities in his smile.

Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui are like the two sides of a leaf, they are intimate, but they can never touch each other.

In the end, they even forgot what kind of feelings they had for each other at the beginning. Time destroyed everything and repaired everything.Working overtime at night, the two watched TV with instant noodles in their hands. A singer was singing "Dearfriend". The singer said, "Give it to a special friend. Everyone has a special person in their hearts."

At this moment, who do you think of?

The two of them just looked at each other, then continued to eat the noodles in their bowls with their heads down.
