see the opportunity

Shi Sanhe didn't go when he was practicing boxing in the parking lot behind the hotel in the afternoon. He reported to the organizing committee of the city sports center. He went all night and didn't even come back for dinner. After one o'clock, he returned to the hotel and asked the front desk to call all the contestants and children's families to gather in his room for a meeting.

Shi Sanhe and Ao Ye lived in one room, and since the room was not too big, dozens of people were packed to the brim.Shi Sanhe asked Ao Ye to distribute the athlete certificate.Tao Ye held the ID in his hand, and saw that his own photo was posted on it, as well as personal information, such as name, gender, and project.

"This certificate is very important. All competition venues must have a certificate to enter the venue. It seems that some venues without a certificate have to buy tickets to watch the game." Shi Sanhe urged, and took out two thick books, "This It's the order book, Shi Qi, please check the events of all the participants, lest there are any omissions or wrong items. Mengyuan, help Shi Qi to find everyone's venues, event order, groups, and appearance order , everyone took a pen and copied it on the athlete’s card.” Shi Sanhe repeatedly emphasized, “You must be sure to see it, and if you make a mistake, you will miss it. Everyone has worked hard to show it as much as possible.”

After Shi Sanhe finished speaking, the room was suddenly noisy. Three or four people went to Jiang Mengyuan's hand, trying to search for their own projects. After a while of confusion, they gradually became quiet amid Shi Sanhe's cry.

"Everyone has seen that such a thick order book, one can imagine how big the formation of this competition is. I roughly checked, and there are hundreds of people in some events, which shows how fierce the competition is." Shi Sanhe Seeing that everyone was disturbed by what he said, he changed his tone again, "But we didn't slack off, and we came prepared, so naturally we can't be afraid. After playing, what do we want? It's momentum. The first impression of the judges, if you go up there softly, the judges may not even look at you. You must know that they will be tired if they rate hundreds of people, not to mention that these hundreds of people may be just one project."

Everyone's mood just followed Shi Sanhe's ups and downs, and Tao Ye was also ups and downs. Jiang Mengyuan suddenly called her, and she rushed over, it turned out that she had found her project.

She didn't know that she would need to bring a pen when she came to the meeting. Fortunately, someone beside her gave her one. She clumsily pulled out the athlete's card from the transparent sleeve, feeling very nervous for a moment.

"You're done." Jiang Mengyuan grinned suddenly.

Tao Ye looked over and saw a row of numbers following her name she was pointing at, but she couldn't understand it at all.

Shi Qi gave the order book in his hand to the person who was snatching it, stepped in, grabbed Jiang Mengyuan's book, then gave Jiang Mengyuan a look, pointed to the numbers on it and explained to Tao Ye one by one: "Here, the first A "three" means that you are competing in three venues. When you arrive at the sports center tomorrow, you will first find the venue for the third venue. It is estimated that the sword will be competed there; and the second "one" means that you are competing This item is the first item to be carried out in the three venues; as for this 'one', it means that in your age group, women will be compared first between men and women."

After Shi Qi finished speaking, he stared at Tao Ye and wrote down these numbers, then flipped through the pages again, and when he found the part about the match schedule, he found that Tao Ye was going to fight on the first morning—and he was on the stage It's still very early, and I'm afraid he will be the first player in everyone to play.This is probably the reason why Jiang Mengyuan said that.Because this is by no means good news, especially for a player who came out to compete for the first time, especially she is the one who has the shortest learning time among all of them.

Sure enough, Tao Ye's face turned pale. Shi Qi counted the number of participants and said to her, "There are more than 40 individual competitions, which is not too many."

Shi Sanhe explained from the side at this time: "Little Taobi's is a competition routine, and the competition routine does not award medals in proportion. Only the top three will get gold, silver and bronze medals, and the next four to eight will have certificates, and there will be nothing after that." .This kind of competition is actually more intense than traditional routines, so many people will avoid it.”

After Shi Sanhe finished speaking, Shi Qi had already found Tao Ye's other project.Tao Ye was dazed and wrote down one by one, and then he was squeezed out by other people who were looking for projects.

Shi Sanhe also knew that everyone was impatient, anyway, Ao Ye and the others were maintaining order, so they simply ignored it.He walked over to Tao Ye and looked at her records. The sword was in the morning of the next day, and the time was quite early.Originally, after knowing who the first player in the team was to play, he usually had to say something like "We must get off to a good start", but Tao Ye obviously couldn't bear the pressure. Had to swallow all the words...

The meeting didn't end until after nine o'clock. Shi Sanhe told everyone to go to bed early, and they could get familiar with the venue after eight o'clock tomorrow morning. If you go late, you may be afraid that there will be too many people.

However, Shi Qi was earlier than others, because she still had to weigh herself and then divide her into pushing hands.

When Shi Qi entered the room, he found two missed calls from He Tong on his mobile phone. He called and found out that He Tong and the others had borrowed a banquet hall in the hotel. There was a carpet in the hall, and their team was pushing hands. Do you want to go and see.

Shi Qi asked if he could bring a few more people, and after getting permission, he called her father and left excitedly.

Tao Ye could clearly feel that Shi Qi was getting more and more excited before the competition, so he silently flipped through her athlete certificate. Her personal events on it were all Chen-style, which did not conflict with her own time, and her boxing There were more than 140 individual competitions, which shocked her for a long time.But Shi Qi still has to push hands. It is said that it is a single-round knockout match, and the time cannot be compared to a minute or a second, so someone has to watch out for her that there are no time conflicts in the event. proposed by the committee.

In addition, the children's training has always been watched by Shi Qi. Not only does she want to be better than her own game, but she also has to follow the children's part—thinking that Shi Qi will probably be much busier and more chaotic than herself when the time comes. , Tao Ye almost forgot that he was actually very scared just now, and now he only planned to start the game earlier, and go to play with Shi Qi after the competition.She even felt that she shouldn't apply for the project this time, so she could just follow along to help...

After watching He Tong and the others' pushing hands, Shi Qi returned to the room at eleven o'clock. When she got to the door, she remembered that she didn't take the room card out, so she had to ring the doorbell.She originally wondered if Tao Ye had already fallen asleep, but she didn't expect Tao Ye to open the door in just a few seconds.

"..." Shi Qi was speechless for a while, "You don't even ask who is outside the door?"

Tao Ye supported the door frame, looked at her in confusion, and then said "oh" belatedly, and said, "I heard your footsteps."

Shi Qi couldn't believe that the corridor was carpeted and she could hear something: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Watching Shi Qi go to rummage through his bag to get his clothes to take a bath, Tao Ye returned to the bed and said, after a long time, he said, "Wait for you."

When he was about to walk to the bathroom, Qi turned his head.She saw Tao Ye leaning against the head of the bed, with his long hair hanging down his shoulders, under the yellowish light, he looked very peaceful.Having just returned from a lively place, this scene gradually settled what had been boiling in Shi Qi's heart.This is her first time participating in a pushing hands competition, so she might be lying if she says it's easy.He Tong and the others have gained different insights just now, his brain is full, and he can't wait to digest those skills in one go, and he can't wait to fight with others immediately.

But of course this mentality is wrong. In Taijiquan push hands, "listening strength" is the first thing. How to observe the attack from the subtle changes of the opponent. If you are not calm and rigid, then you have to wait to lose.

Shi Qi herself didn't expect that, just looking back, the flood in her heart receded into calm.

Early the next morning, all the people boarded the bus and went to the sports center.

This kind of Tai Chi competition is held every few years in this city. It is a brand project of the city, and a lot of power in the city has been mobilized for this.Although there are only a few short streets, and even though the race has not officially started today, before they got into the car, they saw that there were already two police motorcycles on standby.After getting on the bus, one car cleared the way in front, and the other car followed behind - Xu Yixuan said that she was a little flattered.

Shi Sanhe smiled and said: "It's not strange, if the service is better, the word of mouth will be better, and there will be more people coming to the competition next time."

The volunteers accompanying the car laughed and said nothing.

Sure enough, people in this city are used to this formation. When they arrived at the sports center, there were traffic policemen maintaining order, and the passing vehicles stopped automatically, waiting for their participating buses to enter first.

The bus drove all the way to the side of the main stadium of the sports center, where there were already many cars parked, and they didn't even come early.

After getting off the bus, everyone began to automatically classify by age to find venues.Jiang Mengyuan went to school early, and she hasn't arrived yet. According to her age, she has an advantage in her group, especially since she has been learning boxing for a long time.And those college students are in the same venue as Tao Ye. Most of the contestants in this age group are college students, or have practiced boxing for many years. Otherwise, at such a young age, few people learn Taijiquan.

Shi Qi and the others set off ahead of the main force. Tao Ye looked around, knowing that it was unlikely to see her figure, so he couldn't help but look for her.

After walking half a circle around the main stadium, Tao Ye and the others finally found the place with the signboard of "The Third Venue".It looks like a badminton hall, but the door has not yet opened, but there are already many people waiting in front of the door, all in small groups, carrying their own equipment.

Walking a little further, there is a big square filled with stalls of all kinds. The one closest to the venue is moving things to the stall. Tao Ye walked over and saw that it was filled with all kinds of Kung fu fans and sword tassels of various colors.

Thinking of Jiansui Taoye looked carefully.The sword of Shi Qi in her hand must have been used for too long, the place where the spike of the sword connects to the hilt is about to be worn off, and the color that should have been bright red has also become dull.

Should I change the sword spike?

Just as he was thinking this way, Tao Ye heard someone call Shi Qi's name.She turned her head quickly, and sure enough, she saw Shi Qi was waving at those college students, but walking towards her.

"What are you looking at?" Shi Qi asked casually.

"You... just finished weighing?" Tao Ye hurriedly asked her.

"Otherwise, what's the matter?" Shi Qi saw that she was holding a sword spike in her hand, "Want to buy it?"

"...Well." Tao Ye quickly explained, "I don't think you're old..."

"I know, that one is about to break." Shi Qi said, and then picked it up too.

"How about...?" Tao Ye didn't know how to weigh push hands, so he had to ask.

"Fortunately, there are quite a lot of people at my level."

"It's a lot, isn't it?" Tao Ye blurted out, isn't the more the more the more difficult it is to fight?

"If there are too few people to meet the required number, it will be troublesome. Maybe you have to upgrade to fight with other levels." Shi Qi chose for a long time, and chose a pair of snow-white sword spikes.This pair of sword tassels is tied with a Chinese knot, and the tassels feel particularly good.

Seeing Shi Qi, Tao Ye directly asked the seller how much it was, and hurriedly took Shi Qi's hand: "I'll buy it myself."

Shi Qi held her down: "I gave the sword, and of course Jiansui also wants me to give it." Then he paid the money.

Tao Ye watched as Shi Qi took off the sword sheath from her shoulder, pulled out the sword, untied the old sword tassel, carefully replaced it with a new one, and nodded with satisfaction: "It looks good." Then he held the sword tassel and tassel towards her. Handed it in front of him, "Do you like it?"

Looking at Shi Qi's sparkling eyes, holding the snow-white sword tassel, Tao Ye was a little dizzy.She held the sword tassel in her hand, but it was like a jade pendant, so she was naturally full of joy.She gently fiddled with the tassels with her hands, but she didn't even dare to lift her head.When Shi Qi gave her the sword spike, it made her feel like a dream even more than giving the sword.Although she occasionally had delusions that Qi's attitude towards her changed, such as the two cuddling each other on the train, she never realized so clearly—is she, is it possible, is there actually a chance? .

For some reason, Tao Ye's heart was not bound so tightly when she was not in the original city, but in this strange place. She sensitively realized that Shi Qi was the same, because she hugged her shoulder vigorously, Wave to those college students, so that they don't have to rush to see the venue, why not go shopping at all the stalls first.

Being half embraced in Shi Qi's arms, listening to her and the college students chattering around the stalls that were gradually opening up, Tao Ye found that his usual cautiousness had disappeared, and he could not only follow her pace lazily , There was even a smile on his lips that couldn't fade.
