see the opportunity

Shi Qi undoubtedly seldom cries. Practicing martial arts can exercise one's body, but it can also cultivate one's will.

As firm as she is, when other people's tears fall on her face and it is still warm, it is inevitable that she will be a little strange.

Oh, so it was like this when she was crying, Shi Qi thought.Tao Ye propped herself on top of her, only shedding tears, the arms supporting her trembled like something.Shi Qi raised his hand slightly, helped her brush her messy wet hair behind her ears, and said briskly: "Well, tomorrow you will use your courage to throw me down and go to the competition."

Tao Ye was even more shocked. This kind of physical encouragement made her confused, and she couldn't help but murmured, "Do you still know who I am?"

Shi Qi smiled: "I know."

Tao Ye opened his eyes and looked at Shi Qi blankly, I am the Tao Ye who likes you.

Yes, Shi Qi wiped the tears off his face, I know.

After understanding her meaning, Tao Ye's heart was like a full balloon, and his whole body felt light.She quickly climbed out of bed, moved to sit beside her own bed, her heart was turbulent, and then she tried her best to restrain herself.In order to prevent herself from really floating, she had to gather her shoulders, and forgot to wear shoes on her feet, so she raised her toes and gently tapped the ground, as if she just wanted to use some strength to support herself, and she would never break away from gravity.

Taking the opportunity of wiping her hair, she glanced at Shi Qi quickly, and saw that she also turned over and sat up.Shi Qi's lips were bright red, as if he painted the color because of himself, but Tao Ye couldn't help "buzzing" when he saw her lips.She thinks that she can't listen to anything now, because there are only two possibilities, one is the unreality and mistyness of self-forgetfulness and flying to the end of the universe; the other is to pierce through.She thought of the latter because it might be just a kind of comfort that Shi Qi would not care about, so she didn't have the courage to listen to it; as for the former, she thought she hadn't done anything, and if she was too greedy for a while, the nectar in her mouth might evaporate. Lose.

Suddenly she was not in a hurry to listen to Shi Qi's words.Or rather, dare not.

"Well, thank you." Tao Ye said quickly, "You, you go to sleep." After finishing speaking, he got under the covers.

Shi Qi stared dumbfounded at Tao Ye's coherent action, almost wanting to admire her from the bottom of his heart.Is this a person who says he is a coward? It is obviously a bit of a shame.But that's fine too.Shi Qi rested his chin and looked at her for a while, and finally asked lazily, "Aren't you going to sleep after drying your hair?"

Then she saw Tao Ye's hand slowly stretched out the quilt to grope around, and when he found the towel, he wiped his hair in this lying position.Shi Qi then knew that he couldn't tease her anymore, if his mood fluctuated too much, it would be bad for tomorrow's game.

After breakfast the next day, the team set off for the arena.Just as Shi Sanhe ordered, all those who did not have a game in the morning were dispatched.

Because Shi Qi wanted to see the push hands schedule, he and Xiaojun went to the sixth venue after arriving at the sports center.The sixth venue is the Taekwondo Hall of the City Sports School. There are two group-level competitions on the first floor, both of which are listed below; and the second floor is the venue for international and domestic pushing hands competitions.

Tao Ye couldn't help being disappointed when he saw that they were going in different directions as soon as they got out of the car.If Shiqi had arranged push hands in the morning, he might not be able to see his competition.However, my competition is not entirely for her, of course it is for my hard work during this time.Thinking of this, Tao Ye let out a long breath. Surrounded by everyone, he rushed to the third field with a heroic expression like a battlefield.

Now the entire sports center is already full of people.All kinds of dazzling Tai Chi costumes are simply a mobile display of Tai Chi costumes.Tao Ye's lips were a little dry, but he didn't dare to lick them, because early in the morning, Shi Qi pushed her into a chair and put on light makeup for her.

Tao Ye was quite surprised that makeup was required for Taijiquan competitions. She used to wear a little makeup when she was dancing Latin dance before going on stage, but she didn't expect that martial arts competitions would also require makeup.At this time, Qi said that the Tai Chi competition is both a competition and a display, and the beauty of Tai Chi lies in both its strength and its shape.Sure enough, Tao Ye didn't realize until the third round that almost all of them were wearing makeup, some even much thicker than hers, not to mention the perfect matching of clothes, makeup, and hair accessories.

Only later did she know that among all age groups in the competition, her age group is the one with the most blooming flowers, and the audience who come to their venue to watch the game is also the largest.

It was Ao Ye who led the team to the third field. He didn't play this time, he came purely as a coach.He brought Tao Ye to the front gate of the field, where many athletes had already gathered, and then he carefully told Tao Ye not to go too far when starting the check list. There will be three checks in total, and if the roll call is not made three times, it will be regarded as abstention. .After speaking, he led the spectator team in through the back door to find seats.

All the people in the same age group, except Tao Ye, who competed in the 24-style, all competed in the Chen-style boxing, so now she was left alone waiting for the inspection.

Soon, the staff in charge of the inspection began to take the roll call with a loudspeaker. Due to the large number of participants, the inspection was carried out in sections, and a special person was responsible for taking them to the side of the gate to wait.Since a group of four people competed at the same time, everyone couldn't help observing who was competing with them on the same stage. Tao Ye also looked at it. They looked younger than her, but obviously calmer than her.

Tao Ye calmly and slowly adjusted his breathing, listening to the sound of athletes marching through the door, and then the referees entering the arena, introducing the referees, and the athletes entering the arena to greet and then exit...

The game begins.

Tao Ye was in the fifth group competition. They were brought into the stadium one group ahead of time. As soon as she entered, she found that the opposite isolation zone was already full of people, and their people occupied a good position. not coming.

Since the competition set a time limit, it went on very quickly. As soon as she was distracted, the previous group had already left the stage. After the scores came out, it was her turn.

After saluting outside the court, she was led to the place where the word "one" was pasted on the ground, which was indeed the closest place to the referee.In front of her sat a row of referees dressed in black Chinese referee uniforms, both men and women, and they looked younger. After confirming their names, the referee sitting in the middle whistled and the game began.

Rising momentum, wild horses splitting their manes, white cranes spreading their wings...

Tao Ye completed her movements one by one. She had no time to care whether the referee was looking at her, nor did she have the energy to watch the other three's match. From the moment she started, she was completely immersed in her world. inside.But in just a few minutes, she couldn't help but take a short errand.She remembered that she had danced on stage before, but she wasn't too nervous.Probably, the stage was full of strange lights and deafening music, but she could hide herself better.

The gentleness of Tai Chi seemed to make all the spectators calm down, and the arena was completely silent at the moment.Tao Ye has never heard his own breathing so clearly, the ups and downs are long and long, and his feet can't help but follow the rhythm of his breathing to walk on the ground...

Ten years of work off stage, 3 minutes on stage, fleeting.

The whistle sounded again, and 3 minutes had passed, and the four athletes slowly closed their positions one after another, turned around and left the field.

After retreating to the outside of the carpet, Tao Ye realized that his heart was beating suddenly.She recalled it for a while, as if she couldn't remember what she had done just now, she just felt that it was relatively smooth, and she didn't even bother to remember the action she forgot last night.

But obviously she felt that she still overestimated herself, and the scores were quickly counted. Her score was not high, and she was even the lowest among the four people present.

But that's it, after she listened to the score and saluted the referee, there was still warm applause outside the court.

Tao Ye turned his head abruptly, and saw that Shi Qi had arrived at some unknown time, leading everyone to applaud her with a smile on his face.Tao Ye's eyes became hot, and he held back desperately, feeling warm in his heart.

She feels that she has no regrets and that she has played her best.

After Tao Ye walked out of the venue, he saw Shi Qi was already leaning against the back door waiting for her.

After taking the bottle of water that Shi Qi handed her, Tao Ye wiped his lips with a tissue before taking a few sips, then whispered, "I... tried my best."

"I know," Shi Qi still had a smile on his face, "You played well."

When Shi Qi said this, Tao Ye felt uncomfortable: "The score is too low..."

"The scores of your group don't mean anything," Shi Qi patted her on the shoulder, "Your group is relatively strong. Although your score is lower than theirs, it doesn't mean you are lower in the whole team. Besides, Sai Don't even think about it after the competition." After she finished speaking, she wrapped her arms around Tao Ye's shoulders, "Let's go to watch the competition."

The game Shi Qi mentioned was a game played by a child in the team.Because traditional events are easier to win prizes, in order for the parents to gain something happily, most of the children are competing with traditional routines. Only a six-year-old boy named Yang Yang came to fight Chen-style 56-style boxing , There will be his game in the morning.This Yang Yang Tao Ye has an impression that he looks special in pink and jade carvings, and he never smiles when practicing kung fu. When his snow-white and fat little hands are exposed, they are standard Chen-style hands.

Ao Ye and the others also came out. He had all the scores recorded earlier in his hand. Tao Ye looked at it and found that he was really not ranked as queen.There is no hope for the top eight, but everyone is quite satisfied with the result.

"I can't see that you are still a competitive player." Ao Ye smiled and said to Tao Ye, "Study hard, and you should be able to get good results in the next competition."

Shi Qi explained to Tao Ye: "This competition is held every two years. If you practice for another two years, it won't be too late for us to fight again."

Tao Ye was stunned when he heard that, Shi Qi said that they would fight again in two years, thinking of the time of two years, she was a little excited, now two years later, if she and Shi Qi can still come to participate in the competition, at that time they Relationship……

Shi Qi looked at the backs of her ears that were gradually turning red inexplicably, and felt that Tao Ye was really enthusiastic about Tai Chi competitions.

When he arrived at the sixth court, Yang Yang hadn't played yet.

Shi Sanhe was also guarding here, and it could be seen that he also attached great importance to Yang Yang.

There are quite a few children competing with Yang Yang, including their parents, this area is more lively than other places.

As soon as Shi Qi and the others arrived, Shi Sanhe slapped her in one direction.Everyone looked at it together, and it turned out that there was a circle of people in an open space, and everyone was holding mobile phones in their hands, and they were taking pictures vigorously.

Shi Qi pulled Tao Ye and squeezed past him, and saw a little boy practicing boxing in the middle of the field.Shi Qi knew at a glance that he was also practicing 56-style, and judging by his height, he was estimated to be under the age of 12 in Group A.But after watching for a while, Shi Qi suddenly burst out laughing, and Tao Ye quickly tugged at her hand, signaling her to pay attention to the influence.

So Shi Qi leaned close to Tao Ye's ear and whispered, "Does he look like a mop?"

Tao Ye resisted the itching brought by the warm breath in his ear, but he didn't want to leave, so he just crouched his neck and looked intently.

After seeing it, she couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that the boy's Tai Chi suit was covered with a colorful veil, but the colorful texture was vertical, and the hem was still in irregular stripes. The most terrible thing was that the veil was too long, almost reaching the boy's waist. ankle.And the frame of his set of punches is very low, the hem of his clothes is not sweeping the ground.However, his coach was still standing aside with his hands behind his back, very satisfied that his student could attract so many people's attention, and he would step up to give him pointers from time to time to make him practice faster.

It was very dazzling to see this quickly, Shi Qi smiled inwardly, and waved to Yang Yang who was also watching the fun in the crowd.

Tao Ye was always led by Shi Qi, and Shi Qi seemed to have forgotten that he was still leading her. Seeing that everyone ignored her, she blushed slightly, pretending to be calm, and followed her to meet Yang Yang.

Since Yang Yang's boxing has always been taught by Shi Qi, the little boy has more affection for her as a mentor.As soon as he saw Shi Qi, he asked her: "Coach Shi, do you think he plays well?"

Shi Qi smiled and asked back, "What do you think?"

Yang Yang snorted with his nose up, "It's not that good."

At this time, Yang Yang's mother quickly covered his mouth: "Keep your voice down, you are playing together."

"Haha," Shi Qi said happily, "It's okay, as long as you have self-confidence, if you are suppressed before you play, then the opponent will succeed."

Yang Yang's mother couldn't help asking: "You mean he practiced there on purpose?"

"Let's get off the horse." Shi Qi raised his eyebrows, "Are they really a team?"

"Well," although Yang Yang wasn't affected, his mother still felt a little uneasy, "Someone asked about that boy's coach, and I heard his name. There are only a few people in their group, so it can't be wrong."

Shi Qi went to the wall and looked up the posted list, then suddenly bent down and said to Yang Yang: "Don't practice before the game, don't hurry up after playing."

Yang Yang blinked.

Tao Ye couldn't help interjecting and asking, "Why?"

"He plays fast," Shi Qi said slowly, "we will play slowly. He is as fast as a ball of flowers, and we must explain every movement clearly. The most important thing is, we must be steady." She Looking down at Yang Yang's Tai Chi suit, he was only wearing the simplest white, which was in stark contrast to that boy.

Tao Ye nodded thoughtfully, and sighed in his heart. He never thought that the game would have to be about strategy, and a battle of wits and courage...

But the facts have proved that Shi Qi is indeed a master move.

When Yang Yang came on stage, it really was just the two of them.They stood in front of each other, the colorful boy was in front and Yang Yang was behind.From the point of view of position, Yang Yang suffered a disadvantage, because at the beginning of the match, the boy was almost stuck in front of the referee, and then flew up and down, attracting everyone's attention inside and outside the court.

Tao Ye and Shi Qi stood on the sidelines watching Yang Yang, Shi Qi was very relaxed, but Tao Ye squeezed her hand tightly, much more nervous than when he was playing.Because the boy in front played very fast, and after ten moves, Yang Yang was still doing the first three moves slowly.

"Form 56 takes nearly 6 minutes according to the normal time," Shi Qi said softly to Tao Ye. "That boy played so fast, probably because he wanted to finish the whole set."

"Could Yang Yang be too slow?" Tao Ye said a little uneasy.

"No, he knows it well." Shi Qi looked very confident towards Yang Yang, "Look..."

Tao Ye saw at a glance that the people outside the arena who were taking pictures of the colorful boy with their mobile phones, unconsciously shifted their focus.

"Hey, who's child is this, so calm..."

Someone around him asked this question, and more and more people began to whisper, Tao Ye finally knew why Shi Qi told Yang Yang not to practice before the competition—a bit of an unexpected sense of mystery.In the end, Tao Ye noticed that the gazes of a group of referees all skipped over the figure of the colorful boy and cast them behind.

Yang Yang's biggest feature is his calmness, no matter how fast the colored ball in front dances, anyway, he follows the order given to him by Shi Qi, practicing every move.

Finally, the referee blew a long whistle, and 3 minutes had passed.

Sure enough, the colorful boy in front had practiced to the end of the routine, and Yang Yang had just reached his climax.

After the right and left wild horses part their manes, the next move is called swinging the lotus and falling fork. Yang Yang's small body jumped up and made a 360-degree rotation and fell.

This kind of action is not too difficult for adults, but it is obviously extremely rare for children, especially such young children.The most rare thing is that he dragged his feet steadily, connected to the left and right golden rooster behind him independently, and the whole thing was as natural as it was.His steady demeanor caused the audience to burst into warm applause. To the astonishment of Shi Qi and Tao Ye, even the row of referees stood up and applauded.

The colorful boy in front has been so dim that he has been collectively forgotten, and no one noticed when he left the stage...

The final score was as expected, and a gold medal was won.

Looking at Yang Yang who was surrounded by everyone after leaving the stage, Shi Qi shook Tao Ye's hand and asked triumphantly, "Am I strong, am I strong?"

Tao Ye couldn't help laughing, hugged Shi Qi's arm, raised his brows and eyes: "Yes——you are the most powerful."
