February 2th, the day before the downhill competition.

All the contestants gathered in Xiaohaituo, where they were undergoing the last adaptive training before the competition.

The snow track is very difficult, and the athletes were a little bit bound when they first got on the track, but they gradually recovered after getting familiar with the track.

"Xie Bujing is not in good condition?" Lu Shi looked at the data in his hand and frowned a little bit, "Why are you slipping so absent-mindedly?"

Not to mention catching up with Climans Fitch, even Jiang Xuekuo couldn't catch up.

Xiang Chuan shook the thermos in his hand, but did not speak.

"What's wrong with you?" After another downhill, Jiang Xuekuo came to Xie Bujing's side, "Not feeling well?"

"Sorry, I was distracted just now." Xie Bujing shook his head, "Do you want to skate again?"

"En." Jiang Xuekuo gave him a worried look, and followed Xie Bujing in line to wait for the cable car to go up.

The cable car drove towards the main peak of Xiaohaituo little by little, and the mountains stretched under his feet.

It snowed last night, and the branches of the mountain were covered with white ice crystals.There was fog in the distance, submerging a large area of ​​hilltops, leaving only a shadowy area.

Xie Bujing has competed countless times around the world and claims to have seen the most spectacular snow scene in the world.

But it wasn't until now that he discovered that there is actually a very beautiful scenery in front of his house.

The sea of ​​fog meets the blue sky, the mist billows, and the north wind howls—the magnificence of Xiaohaituo is not lost to any place.

But he may never see him again...

last night.

Xie Bujing asked the system: "Will I leave this world after winning the championship?"

【if not?Do you want to stay in this world to retire? 】

Xie Bujing ignored the system's ridicule and continued to ask: "Is it possible for me to stay in this world?"

【…】

【How long do you want to stay?Are you sure you want to stay?You don't want to go back to your own world as soon as possible? 】

These questions, Xie Bujing, have no answers until now.He is reluctant to ski and his teammates in this world, but he is also eager to complete the task as soon as possible and return to his own world.

【What's more, how do you know you're leaving soon?Our goal is the world championship, what if you can't win this year's Winter Olympics? 】

The cable car arrived at the top of the mountain, and Xie Bujing slid into the ski path. Try not to think so much, and focus on the competition is the most important thing.

Yet no matter how much he tried to calm down, he couldn't achieve full concentration.

Familiar faces flashed through my mind, relatives at home, companions in training, rivals in competition, and the snow-white arena that has a fatal attraction.

Xie Bujing's pupils dilated, and he panicked instantly.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that he was about to rush off the track!

At the very moment, Xie Bujing turned around from an almost impossible angle.

The snowboard left a deep nick in the ground, but he finally passed the flag gate.

Unfortunately, however, he sprinted off the track with too much force during the turn and almost hit the protective net.

Jiang Xuekuo's pupils constricted in an instant, and he rushed down to the top of the mountain. He stopped in front of Xie Bujing at the last j-turn, and asked anxiously, "Are you injured? Can you still slide down?"

"It's okay." Xie Bujing shook his head and stood up by himself.

"You..." Jiang Xuekuo hesitated.

"Thank you, I'm fine."

Xie Bujing knew that he had failed.

The requirements for the downhill project are very strict. Once the race is out of the track, the competition results will be invalidated.

If this was an official competition, he would have been eliminated directly and would not be included in the rankings.

"Xiao Xie, come here." When he reached the finish line, Xiang Chuan waved to him.

Xie Bujing followed.

Jiang Xuekuo was a little worried and wanted to follow.

"Xiao Jiang, you skate first," Xiang Chuan waved, "I'll talk to Xiao Xie."

"But……"

"It's okay." Xie Bujing shook his head and gave him a comforting look.

Jiang Xuekuo glanced at it reluctantly, but left helplessly.

Xiang Chuan: "Did you fall and hurt yourself? Are you going to the hospital?"

Xie Bujing shook his head: "It's okay."

Xiang Chuan didn't insist anymore, he just opened the thermos and poured a cup of hot water over: "Do you want a drink?"

"Thank you." Xie Bujing took it and drank it down.

The warm liquid flowed into his belly, warming him from throat to belly.

Xiang Chuan took the lid of the thermos cup, and then said: "Are you under too much pressure?"

Xie Bujing lowered his head and said nothing.

"It was my first time participating in the Olympics, and I was even more nervous than you," Xiang Chuan laughed. "It took me a lot of hard work to get two B-category qualifications. I'm stunned, there are too many masters, and the pre-match practice was completely beaten, and my mentality almost collapsed."

Xie Bujing raised his head in surprise, he had never heard these things preached before.

"Although I was very uncomfortable at the time, I still tried my best during the competition. Although I didn't get a good result, at least I did it without regret."

With a clear conscience...

Xie Bujing pursed his lips: "I know."

"Because your ability is here, everyone expects so much from you."

"Don't be afraid, you are worthy of everyone's expectations."

Later, Xiang Chuan asked Xie Bujing to talk to the psychologist in the team.

The psychiatrist asked him three questions: "What is the most profound thing in your memory?"

"What do you most want to do now?"

"What is your greatest fear?"

The most profound thing is the bits and pieces of him and his teammates.

Most want to win the championship.

Most afraid of leaving this world.

Xie Bujing sat up straight, and said in a calm tone: "My deepest memory is that I won the downhill runner-up in the World Cup, which made me realize that the world championship is not so far away."

"I want to ski out the results in the Winter Olympics. The goal is to keep six and win three. If possible, strive for medals."

"I am among the top 30 in the world, and I am the flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. I am afraid that I will not win, and I will fail the training of the country and the coach."

Afterwards, the psychiatrist asked Xie Bujing some questions and taught him some ways to regulate his emotions.

The conversation ended after an hour.

"There is no major problem, he himself is very sober," the psychiatrist told Legend, "The main reason is that there is a lot of pressure before the game and he is too nervous."

Behind them is the back of Xie Bujing leaving silently.

At this moment, he has never been so clear.

No one can help him, everything depends on himself.

You already knew that, didn't you?It's always been a lonely road.

……

Xie Bujing returned to the dormitory, and was suddenly shocked when he opened the door.

A huge banner suddenly appeared in the originally empty room.

Judging from the material and pattern, it should be the leftover paper written by the aunt in the canteen, on which was written nondescript words with a brush: "No matter what, you are the strongest in my heart!"

Next to it, there are two wild flowers picked from the flower bed in teacups.

In the corner of the room, there were a few furtive heads shaking.

"How? Did he see it?" Chen Jing hid behind the bed and lowered his voice, "What's his reaction? Tears of joy? Tears?"

"How do I know?" Qin Ye whispered, "Keep your voice down, ah! You stepped on me!"

There was a crackling sound, and a group of people rolled out from behind the bed.She waved at him with a smirk, and stood at the head of the bed with a restrained face.

Xie Bujing glanced at Jiang Xuekuo, Qin Ye, Shen Huai, Chen Jing, Yan Li, Lu Xiaofei, and Zaipaier Abu Laiti.

Very good, the alpine ski team is all assembled.

Xie Bujing showed no expression: "Why are you here?"

"Visit the wounded!" Qin Ye picked up the teacup and handed it to Xie Bujing. There were two wild flowers shaking in it pitifully, "This is what we collectively gave you... um... flowers."

Xie Bujing's forehead twitched: "This is the cup I drink from."

"Ah? Oh!" Qin Ye immediately pulled out the wild flowers, and then rubbed his finger along the wall of the cup twice, "Return to you, it's clean."

"..."

Xie Bujing took the cup and didn't want it anymore.

He held back his temper and put the water glass aside, and said patiently: "So you don't rest at night, what are you doing in my room?"

"I……"

Xie Bujing: "Tell the truth."

"I heard that you were scolded by the coach..." Qin Ye muttered softly, "Aren't you trying to comfort you?"

"Yes, I heard that you fell during practice today." Chen Jing held up the banner, and several people around him suddenly realized that they grabbed the banner one after another.

"Look, we crowdfunded this for you." Qin Ye said affectionately, "Anyway, you...why are you standing there? Shout slogans!"

Ah, yes!slogan!

Only then did the rest of the people come to their senses, and shouted unevenly: "No matter what, you are the strongest in my heart!"

The earthy smell rushed towards them, and the welcome guests of small stores in the [-]th-tier cities were more advanced than them.

Xie Bujing glanced at the banner, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Who wrote it? It's so ugly."

"We wrote them all!" Qin Ye raised his hand immediately, "But we didn't beat Jiang Xuekuo, so the ones that hang up now are written by him!"

Jiang Xuekuo smiled triumphantly.

Xie Bujing: "It's ugly."

Jiang Xuekuo suddenly felt wronged.

"I feel your intentions, but this kind of thing..." Xie Bujing folded up the banner and put it down, "Please don't show it again next time."

Everyone was a little disappointed, but soon became happy again. In any case, it was enough to convey their hearts in place.

"Then you..." Qin Ye cautiously said, "Can you?"

Pairs of worried eyes looked over, as if even breathing lightly.

As teammates, they know how much Xie Bujing has put in for this competition, and they also believe that the opponent has the ability to slide to a better result.

Xie Bujing held a banner in his hand, which was a very ordinary red paper, and it made a rattling sound when touched lightly.

After a long time, he shook his head slowly: "I'm fine, thank you, go back to sleep early."

Everyone left one after another, Jiang Xuekuo was the last one to go, he glanced at the banner in Xie Bujing's hand, hesitantly said: "Then this..."

Xie Bujing's face was serious: "It's so ugly, I don't allow it to have a chance to see the sun again."

"Oh..." Jiang Xuekuo withdrew his hand in disappointment and left.

There was a sound of closing the door, and the noisy room fell into silence.

Xie Bujing sat on the bed, opened the banner carefully, and looked at it carefully for a long time.

In addition to the big characters, everyone's signatures were written on it with a signature pen, each with its own ugliness.

"It's so ugly." Xie Bujing complained, but smiled in relief.

……

In a distant time and space, there were two chubby little boys sitting in a small car.

They looked at the screen in front of them. One had a serious face, and the other was full of worry.

After a long time, the worried younger brother asked, "Brother, is it really okay to lie to him like this?"

My brother sullenly said, "I didn't lie to him, it's the truth."

Brother: "But what if he really wants to stay in this world and doesn't want to win the championship?"

"If this is the case...then he has no value for cooperation." The elder brother said firmly, "Abandon him, and we will continue to look for the next host."

……

2月6日上午11:00,2022冬奥会男子滑降项目。

In the auditorium, a young man with a small brown mole on the tip of his nose folded his hands around his mouth and kept shouting, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh brother, come on! Come on!!"

Beside him, a young man with red hair also shouted: "Master, come on! Come on!!"

After the two shouted, they looked at each other in unison, and said in unison:

"Who is your brother?"

"Who is your master?"

Then they saw Xie Bujing coming out to greet the audience.

"elder brother!"

"Master!"

Looking at each other, Xie Bufan and Zhao Chengyue's eyes widened.

Xie Bufan, Zhao Chengyue, Li Yuan, and even Du Yongsi all came, and there were many spectators around who shouted his name.

Immersed in the tense atmosphere of the game, people shouted while waving inflatable cheering sticks:

"come on!"

"Win the championship!"

"Let them see how good we are!"

Xie Bujing was immersed in this tense atmosphere, and slowly walked towards the arena.

In the Olympic alpine skiing competition, the top [-] in the World Cup will compete first. Under this competition system, it is completely a fight between gods.

Xie Bujing is surrounded by world-class masters, the last and two Olympic champions, World Cup champions, World Championship champions...

A strong man pressed down in front of him like a mountain, stretching endlessly, towering into the clouds.

Strong, brave, determined, persistent...every one is enough to make people tremble.

But you're in it too, aren't you?

Those crooked brush characters came to my mind again, and there were faces with smirks, they said in unison - no matter what, you are the strongest in my heart!

Xie Bujing smiled lightly.

A strong person set off in front of him, and as the game progressed, there were discussions one after another.

"Bart Cameron played very well this time. I heard that he said in the interview before the game that his goal this time is to win the championship."

Xie Bujing closed his eyes, still maintaining his excitement.

After a while, someone said again: "How can this compare! Climans Fitch only skated in 1:39!"

"How could he break 40 minute and [-] seconds? No one has ever been so fast before!"

"I heard that he entered the zone field, but can anyone really enter?"

Xie Bujing stood aside, staring intently at Xuedao.

"Is he okay?" Lu Shi still remembered the scene of Xie Bujing's downhill mistake yesterday, "Don't you need to say anything?"

Xiang Chuan shook his head with a calm expression: "No need."

"But now..." Lu Shi looked like a worried old father and walked around in a hurry, "Why don't you go and have a look? You have to say something!"

Lu Shi said that he was about to move forward, but was stopped by a big hand.

Standing in front of him, Xiang Chuan shook his head slowly.

Xiang Chuan: "Look at his eyes, where is there any sign of shrinking back?"

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on Xie Bujing in the distance.

Firm and serious, full of fighting spirit.

He seemed to have returned to the time when he met Xie Bujing for the first time. The young Xie Bujing stood in front of him, showing the same expression as now.

That is the desire for victory, that is the eyes of the beast ready to hunt.

Countless people stood in front of the TV, waiting for Xie Bujing's departure, eager to witness a miracle from this young genius.

……

"Brother, the host competition is about to start, don't you want to watch it?" The chubby little brother raised his head.

"Don't make noise, it's up to you." The elder brother stared at the screen in front of him intently, his hands flying up and down quickly.

The younger brother was curious: "What are you looking for?"

"A cartoon."

"cartoon?"

"I found it." My brother passed the cartoon over, "You watch this first, and don't pity him any more."

The younger brother clicked the play curiously.

Compared with their current popular holographic video, it was a rather plain 2D animation.

In the distance of the earth stood a high mountain, and on the top of the mountain stood a shining thing, which was a round gold medal.

At first, many people set out towards this mountain.

Some people try their best and still can't move forward and are forced to give up.

They are undertalented.

Some people failed to overcome their inner demons and fell on the road.

They are weak-willed people.

Some people regretted leaving due to injuries, and some people were attracted by the relaxed and happy "ordinary life"...

The road is getting more and more difficult, and fewer and fewer people are going forward.

But even so, some people still choose to move on.

They are exceptionally gifted, hard-working trainers, and determined players.

They have been on the road to winning the championship for ten years, passed by warm rooms, survived the hardships of collapse, and resisted the temptation of money and honor.

The gold medal shone, illuminating the thorns in its path.

A small group of people continued to move forward, like an ascetic walking on the ground.

Some people are still gradually leaving, but some people are still continuing.

Gradually, a person appeared at the foot of the mountain.

He called loneliness an old friend, he climbed the steep cliff alone, he planted flowers all the way where he passed.

Finally, he reached the finish line.

He took up the honor that belonged to him.

After the younger brother watched the video, he was silent for a long, long time.

"I know, I won't be soft-hearted anymore." When he raised his head again, his younger brother's tone was no longer as innocent as before.

"If he can't do it, then we give him up."

……

Xie Bujing was ignorant of everything that happened in the distance.

At 11:45, he was standing in front of the red departure gate with the Olympic logo, waiting for the countdown to start.

The snow-white track extends from the top of the mountain along the ridge, like a winding dragon rushing into the distance.

The distant mountains are like Dai, and the sea of ​​fog is rushing.

This is the venue for his competition this time, Yanqing Xiaohaituo.

The track has an altitude difference of 825 meters, an average gradient of 29, and a total length of 2852 meters.What is more special is that the Xiaohaituo slide is built on the ridge, and the track is very difficult and dangerous. It is evaluated by the industry as one of the most difficult tracks in the world.

Therefore, there are higher requirements for athletes' tactics and crisis handling capabilities.

The wind at the top of the mountain was so strong that it shaved my face like a knife, making my chin and lips burn and hurt.

Alpine skiing competitions are often postponed or canceled due to weather, but since the organizing committee has not made any changes, it proves that the impact is not significant and the competition can still be held.

The rebroadcast shot was shown to Xie Bujing, and the voice of the commentary sounded: "The next one is Hua Guo teenager Xie Bujing, who is 20 years old this year and is a rare alpine skiing all-rounder in my country. His best result is the runner-up in the World Cup downhill. "

Before the starting line, Xie Bujing squatted with his legs halfway, with his poles inserted in front of him, and stared straight ahead.

He waited for the signal, like a hunter patiently dormant in the wild, ready to attack at any time.

"five—"

"four—"

"three——"

The strength gathered in the legs little by little, and the strong thigh muscles tightened little by little.

"o——"

"one——"

"drop--!"

The countdown is over, the muscles are compressed to the extreme, and finally exert force——

Xie Bujing rushed into the track like a snow leopard launching an attack.

"A clean start!" The voice of the commentator praised, "This has won Xie Bujing a high initial speed, which will help him in the next dive."

Xie Bujing passed the first corner.

The side edge of the snowboard scratches across the snow, like a gentle hand touching the skin of a lover.

Silently, gracefully and swiftly, hardly stirring up any snow foam.

"Xie Bujing passed the first speed measuring point."

"The instantaneous speed is 12412kh, which is an excellent result. It is also confirmed from the side. This is a game for the brave. The first jump."

Xie Bujing lowered his body, and the snowboard quickly rushed to the snow bag after sliding down the steep hill—take off!

He flew up in the air!

The body vacated.

Totally weightless.

He floated in the wind.

But Xie Bujing was not obsessed with the thrill of flying, he quickly adjusted his balance in the air and landed steadily.

Smooth and fast transitions.

The cushioning of the landing and the start of the next curve merged together. Xie Bujing raised the side edge of the snowboard and quickly entered the next curve.

The body is lighter, and turning and jumping are effortless.

The mountain peaks and the sea of ​​clouds continued to pass behind him, and the speed exceeded 140kh per hour. The strong wind blew his body, making him feel like he was in a hurricane.

Alpine skiing is the maximum speed that humans can reach without the help of machinery.

This is the unparalleled experience that speed bestows on humans.

It should have been exciting, but at this moment, Xie Bujing was surprisingly calm.

Because he knew where the next bend was, and he knew what posture to use when taking off and landing, and even the strong wind roaring to tear everything apart was within his expectation.

No surprises, no surprises.

After a long and arduous training session, everything fell into place.

"He still maintains the lead at the third speed measurement point! Now he is 1 seconds faster than No.05!" The commentator's Adam's apple rolled, his voice became obviously tense, "The next key is to see if he can continue to maintain his advantage before the finish line .”

Can you keep your advantage?

Xie Bujing never thought about this question, he just focused on the present moment, doing every moment well.

Once he was also confused, hesitated, and even doubted himself.

He longs for the warmth of his teammates, and he doesn't want to leave this world.

But the moment he stood on the snow path, he understood.

The pure white snow track cannot tolerate any distracting thoughts, and he is destined to walk on this road.

Since separation is inevitable, hesitation becomes meaningless.

What he should do more is to focus on the present moment and try his best at every moment!

The sea of ​​clouds in Xiaohaituo Mountain was churning, Xie Bujing rushed into the whiteness without hesitation.

A departure endowed Xie Bujing with rapid acceleration.

Three take-off jumps, without losing any speed in the process.

Six round dives, he created a top speed of 14532kh.

Thirty turns and rushed through the flag gate, Xie Bujing passed every obstacle set up on the track, and rushed to the boiling crowd at the finish line——

1 minute 39 seconds 17! !

"Thank you for crossing the finish line! 1:39!!" The official commentary roared in English, "He surpassed the two favorites, Clemens Fitch and Bart Cameron!!!"

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Xie Bujing raised his hands and ran towards his teammates.

Tears welled up in my eyes.
