At the beginning of acquaintance, tenderness and sweetness
On a summer afternoon in 2003, on the training ground of the Shanghai team, 16-year-old Xu Xin was concentrating on playing against his teammates. He has flexible wrists, aggressive footwork, and a variety of ball paths that overwhelm opponents.
At this time, a slender figure came over from the team - 18-year-old Yao Yan, she was fair-skinned and had long hair like clouds, and she was walking towards this side with a racket.
"Xu Xin, the coach told us to train two-on-two. Yao Yan's crisp voice sounded.
"Okay!" Xu Xin happily agreed, and the two of them were often arranged to train together.
Although Yao Yan is a little older, he is petite, his playing style is agile and flexible, and the two cooperate seamlessly. Between the balls coming and going, Xu Xin couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and Yao Yan would also inadvertently meet his gaze and smile shyly.
In getting along day by day, the two youthful and restless hearts are quietly approaching. Maybe they are too young to say it explicitly, and they can only see the passion in each other's eyes.
Three years later, the two were reunited at the training base as seeded players for the national team. "Yao Yan, do you remember me? Xu Xin of the Shanghai team. Xu Xin approached her shyly.
"You naughty man, how could I not remember. Yao Yan patted him on the shoulder, and a blush appeared on his face.
Everything seems to have returned to three years ago, and they are like two shy children again, starting a new youth.
Gradually, Xu Xin plucked up the courage to express his heart to Yao Yan, and fortunately, Yao Yan also agreed with a red face. So, the two began to talk about a cautious love affair secretly.
After hard training every day, they would hide in the small garden of the training base, holding hands and talking about love. "Yao Yan, I will be here with you until our hair is gray.
parted ways, leaving the sorrow
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, 2011 is coming. One day, the coach suddenly interviewed Yao Yan and Xu Xin.
"I've been paying attention to your relationship for a long time, the national team strictly forbids athletes to fall in love! The coach has the final word.
Yao Yan burst into tears, she couldn't believe that the coach would be so ruthless and break her up with Xu Xin.
"Coach, please let us be together. I can quit the national team immediately!" Yao Yan pleaded.
"No, you and I both know that your strength is declining, and there is no need to risk a future for a man. "The coach pointed out the reality without mercy.
Yao Yan returned to the dormitory crying silently, and Xu Xin stepped forward to hug her, her heart like a knife.
"Hikohiko, no matter what happens, I will be with you. I promise you. Xu Xin comforted his lover softly.
However, after calming down, Yao Yan understood that what the coach said was true. If you want to succeed in table tennis, you must give up this relationship.
"What should I do......" Yao Yan leaned in pain on Xu Xin's arms.
In the end, in a late-night heart-to-heart conversation, Yao Yan mustered up all his courage and made the decision to withdraw from the national team......
Reborn nirvana, transformed into a butterfly
In 2012, Yao Yan bravely announced at a press conference that she had decided to retire. The reporters present were shocked and raised their hands to ask questions.
"Miss Yao, you are strong and have a bright future, why did you suddenly choose to retire?" A reporter asked eagerly.
Yao Yan replied with a smile: "I have my own considerations, and I hope everyone can understand and support me." ”
Offstage, Xu Xin clenched his fists excitedly. He knows very well that the real reason for Yao Yan's retirement is so that he can dazzle on the table tennis court without worries.
Since then, Xu Xin no longer dares to slack off in training. He thinks all the time that he is shouldering Yao Yan's expectations and dreams. In order to repay her for her efforts, he must give it his all.
Day after day, he trained, sweated, and self-motivated. Finally, at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Xu Xin defeated a strong opponent and won the table tennis men's team championship for the Chinese team.
In the venue, the audience frantically cheered for Yao Yan, who cheered for him. She watched Xu Xin running towards her, her eyes full of tears, and she was sincerely proud and relieved of him.
"Yao Yan, thank you!" Xu Xin knelt down in front of her, "I will definitely repay you with a lifetime!"
Yao Yan smiled and shook her head, she didn't need AR's return, she just wanted him to be happy and happy.
Xu Xin was so excited that he successfully proposed to Yao Yan on the spot, and the two restless hearts finally found each other.
Happiness and happiness, hand in hand with the white head
On the night of the wedding, Xu Xin hugged his shy bride and gently dropped a light kiss on her forehead.
"Madam, let's walk hand in hand through the rest of our lives. ”
"Well, I do. Yao Yan had a happy smile on his face.
Now, they have spent several years as newlyweds. Every morning, Yao Yan lightly made breakfast and waited for Xu Xin and the child to get up.
"Husband, get up quickly, you have to work hard today!"
"Got it, my little princess. Dad rubbed his sleepy eyes and rubbed his wife's cheek affectionately.
Together, they would take the kids to their own playground and watch the little ones frolic and play. In the evening, the family sat at opposite ends of the table, smiling and talking about the day's interesting stories.
"Mom, what is your relationship history with Dad?" The girl asked curiously.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Yao Yan whispered about the ......
Xu Xin held his wife's hand tightly and thanked her for giving her a happy home.
