In my lifetime, I am happy to meet you, please click "Follow", thank you for your support.
The bright sunlight gently and softly falls on the miniature garden, casting countless glittering golden spots of light, making the turquoise lawn even more verdant. A little girl who is only five or six years old jumps happily in the garden, her short fluffy hair is as passionate as the waves, and her immature face is full of bright smiles, as full of vitality and vitality as the sun! .
At this moment, Zhao Yunlei sat quietly on the spacious and bright balcony, enjoying her daughter's carefree dance with interest. She was once an honorable retired badminton player who showed her mark on the world-class stage, but now, she finds that watching this adorable little life grow up is more joyful and happy than any gold medal.
"Honey, a delicious lunch has been prepared for you!" came the affectionate call of her husband Hong Wei from inside the house. Zhao Yunlei turned her head to look and saw Hong Wei waving to her with a smile on his face.
Indeed, with such a considerate husband and such a lively and lovely daughter, her life has been called flawless.
Zhao Yunlei took a deep breath, and a beautiful arc appeared between her eyebrows. She slowly stood up, left the balcony, and stepped into the cozy room. The family is about to have a sumptuous lunch, which is her greatest happiness and pride at the moment.
No matter what kind of wind and rain you have experienced in the past, as long as you have each other's company, life will be full of tranquility and warmth.
However, recalling the Rio Olympics a few years ago, Zhao Yunlei still inevitably felt a trace of bitterness in her heart. It was the last international tournament of her career, and she was hoping to shine her last on this stage, but unfortunately missed out on the chance to win the title for various reasons.
At the beginning of the game, Zhao Yunlei noticed something strange. There seems to be an invisible chasm between her and her long-time partner Zhang Nan, whether it is in the fierce arena or in the lounge after the game, there is little communication between the two.
All tactical arrangements and on-the-spot commands must rely on the coach's transmission, which makes Zhao Yunlei feel strange and uncomfortable.
"Zhang Nan, we really need to communicate and cooperate more closely, otherwise it will be very difficult to win the game. After the game, Zhao Yunlei tried to take the initiative to have an in-depth conversation with Zhang Nan, but the other party just nodded indifferently, without any response, and did not even give her a look.
In the face of Zhang Nan's increasingly indifferent attitude, Zhao Yunlei couldn't help but feel endless loneliness and anxiety in her heart. They used to be the best partners to work together, and they often showed a magical understanding of the heart and soul in the game.
However, the situation at the moment is so chilling.
Zhao Yunlei painfully realized that the friendship between herself and Zhang Nan had already appeared an irreparable crack.
In fact, Zhao Yunlei understands very well that Zhang Nan's indifference and alienation from her are rooted in that unforgettable love triangle. Zhang Nan was her closest lover, and the two have known and fallen in love since they were young, known as a "match made in heaven".
However, just when their relationship seemed to enter a sweet life, a shocking "third party" broke into their world - Tian Qing.
When she heard this heartbreaking truth, Zhao Yunlei's tears couldn't help but roll down her cheeks, Zhang Nan lowered her head in shame, her eyes were full of guilt, and Tian Qing cried uncontrollably, constantly saying "I'm sorry" in her mouth.
Zhao Yunlei can't accept this cruel reality, but she must face it bravely. She recalled every moment of falling in love with Zhang Nan, and those once sweetness and happiness had now turned into sharp knives, mercilessly stabbing her heart.
They were once a high-profile "doubles legend" group and were known as the "Light of China". At the 2012 London Olympics, Zhao Yunlei and Zhang Nan finally successfully lifted the mixed doubles championship trophy, and the glory at that moment was as dazzling as bright stars.
At that time, they seemed so loving and sweet, and everyone was sending their most sincere wishes for their future, looking forward to the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" being able to continue to create more brilliance in their badminton careers.
However, in the midst of everyone's applause and cheers, a dark seed has been quietly planted.
The London 2012 Olympics was undoubtedly their most glorious appearance. After countless difficult battles, Zhao Yunlei and Zhang Nan finally won the mixed doubles final and lifted the championship trophy.
At that moment, the applause and cheers of the audience swept like a storm, and Zhao Yunlei was moved to tears.
"Yun Lei, you are really the treasure in my heart, would you like to entrust me with the rest of your life, let me always accompany me, and build a happy harbor together?" Zhang Nan said affectionately, his eyes full of sincere emotion.
At that moment, Zhao Yunlei was so moved by the grace of heaven that she couldn't express it, only tears rippled and she couldn't stop nodding. Everyone sent their blessings to them, hoping that they would be able to go through the ups and downs of the years hand in hand, until they turned white.
When they left London not long after, Zhao Yunlei ushered in a luxurious and grand wedding as if in a dream. When this dream began, everything was so beautiful.
However, Zhao Yunlei never expected that her most trusted best friend would secretly collude with her husband and betray her love. Since then, the lives of the three of them have never been able to return to the innocent beauty of the past.
Zhang Nan and Tian Qing's secret romance was hidden until the Rio Olympics were revealed, and Zhao Yunlei witnessed this scene with her own eyes and was shocked. For a moment, the relationship between the three of them was at an impasse, and it was extremely cold.
Unable to fight alongside Zhang Nan anymore and not wanting to see Tian Qing, who had been her best friend, Zhao Yunlei painfully decided to give up the women's doubles event at the Rio Olympics.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not in a position to do both, but I can only guarantee a good performance in a single event. This is Zhao Yunlei's public explanation, but deep down, she just can't face her former lover and girlfriend anymore.
Tian Qing was deeply devastated by Zhao Yunlei's decision, and her once most trusted friend was now ruthlessly abandoning her. Tian Qing fell into a long period of depression, his competitive state continued to decline, and finally had to make a difficult choice - to announce his retirement.
In the mixed doubles event, Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei's performances are also worrying. There seems to be an invisible barrier between the two, and there is little communication between them, both on and off the field.
All tactical instructions had to be communicated by the coach, and the tacit understanding between them was long gone.
In the lounge after the game, the atmosphere was suffocating, and an awkward atmosphere permeated it. Zhao Yunlei's eyes were red, and she silently wiped the sweat from her face, while Zhang Nan was silent and expressionless.
In retrospect, perhaps it was since then that their relationship broke down once and for all, and it can never be recovered.
After experiencing the defeat of the Rio Olympics, Zhao Yunlei resolutely announced her decision to retire, and at the same time frankly announced the true situation of severing contact with Zhang Nan. Leaving the sweaty badminton court, she bravely stepped into a new field of life.
"Mom and Dad, why do you treat me like this? I'm so miserable!" Whenever night falls, Zhao Yunlei will toss and turn in bed, and the ugly picture of her parents having an affair with Zhang Nan and Tian Qing keeps flashing in her mind, which makes her feel extremely disgusting and painful.
However, over time, she gradually learned to let go. It was the birth of her lovely daughter that gave her a new meaning in life and motivation to move forward. It was her husband Hong Wei's meticulous care and tolerance that gave her the courage and hope to embrace happiness again.
"My dear, let those things in the past pass away with the wind, and we want to live our own wonderful lives for our daughters and our future. Hong Wei often comforts and motivates her with these words.
Indeed, the road of life is long, so why always indulge in the shadows and traumas of the past? Zhao Yunlei firmly decided to look forward to the future and cherish the beautiful life in front of her.
She understands that her life story is far from over, and that a new and glorious chapter will be ushered in. Although the scars of the past are difficult to erase, as long as you learn to forgive and understand, you will be able to embrace the spring of happiness again.
Zhao Yunlei took a deep breath, closed her eyes slightly in the warm sun, and a bright smile bloomed on her face that she hadn't seen for a long time. Yes, the road ahead is long, but she is ready for a new challenge and a new beginning.
