After confirming that she would go for a tryout with the national team, Coach Liu sent someone to pick her up a few days later.
Qiao Yiyi went to the training base as scheduled, and underwent trial training under the inspection of several coaches and relevant professionals, and successfully obtained the qualification to train with the national team.
Officially joining the national team means that her schedule for the next year will be much tighter, and she will have to do a lot of training with the athletes almost every day.
Despite the animal attribute system, Qiao Yiyi still decided to train normally with the team. She had no other reason but to experience the real life of sweating.
Of course, apart from a few familiar people, Qiao Yiyi did not tell everyone about this matter in a big way. She only posted a message on Weibo to inform fans that she would not accept any announcements for the next period of time and would concentrate on further studies, and asked fans not to worry about her.
The Yiyi birds were reluctant to let her go. After all, continuous exposure is very important for an artist. Qiao Yiyi is very popular now, and they couldn't understand why she would disappear from everyone's sight at this time. Especially those fans who follow Qiao Yiyi's Weibo every day, wanting to know what other special skills she has not shown, were devastated when they heard the news of her temporary retirement.
But no matter how reluctant they were, even though they didn't know what Qiao Yiyi was going to do, they still expressed their support for Qiao Yiyi and respect for her choice.
[Wife Tietie~We respect your choice and will support you no matter what you do! ]
[+1 to the above, Sister Yiyi, go do what you want to do, and wait for a better you after your return! ]
[I'm waiting for you too! But could you please post more updates, Sister Yiyi? Selfies, photos of daily life, anything is fine.]
[Right, right! Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've updated my animal essays. My child is about to cry.jpg.]
When Qiao Yiyi saw the messages from her fans, she was moved by their words of support and waiting for her. From being blackened by the entire internet in the beginning to having so many fans protecting her now, it would be a lie to say she wasn't happy.
She promised her fans that she would be more active in the future, and then entrusted her dog to Baomei's family for care.
Baomei remained shocked from beginning to end about the fact that her artist was going to train with the national team.
"If the artist leaves, what's the point of me, an assistant, existing?"
Seeing her expression as if she was parting with someone forever, Qiao Yiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's not like I won't be coming back, you don't have to be like this. Besides, didn't Sister Anna ask you to go to her company? Assistant will be promoted to agent, and you can lead people in the future. Isn't that great?"
"It smells good..." Baomei curled her lips, "I just didn't expect you to be gone for so long this time."
She helped Qiao Yiyi pack her luggage for the national team accommodation, and then sent her out, but saw He Yao downstairs, who was obviously waiting for Qiao Yiyi.
He Yao said, "I'll take you to the base."
Qiao Yiyi did not refuse.
He Yao stuffed her luggage into the trunk.
Qiao Yiyi watched him busying around, and for some reason she suddenly felt like an old father sending his daughter to school.
When they arrived at the base, Qiao Yiyi said goodbye to the two of them. Before leaving, He Yao suddenly lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I have something to tell you when you come back."
"What?" Qiao Yiyi was very puzzled, and her ears were itchy from his sudden burst of hot breath.
He Yao stood up straight, looking at her with a smile in his beautiful eyes: "You'll know when you come back."
The feeling of starting something like this and not continuing is the most uncomfortable and upsetting.
Qiao Yiyi wanted to ask more, but He Yao deliberately kept her in suspense and refused to say anything, so she had to give up.
The training days at the base were boring and hard, especially since Qiao Yiyi, in order to prevent several coaches from arguing about where she was going, casually said that she would go everywhere. As a result, she passed every tryout and she really went to all of them.
Initially, the coaches worried that the multi-sport training would be too intense for her to keep up with. They also worried that she would be distracted and try to do too many things, which would ultimately be counterproductive.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Yiyi's performance surprised them greatly. Not only did she successfully complete the standards set by the coaches, but she also continued to break records. They finally believed that Qiao Yiyi was capable of doing it.
A year later, the Olympic Games, as hot as the August sun, opened with the anticipation of the whole nation.
Every household was glued to the TV, and the Olympic spirit burning in everyone was ignited at this moment. Even the screens that were usually dominated by celebrity gossip and various strange things were now almost all about the Olympics.
After the wonderful opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the delegations of athletes from various countries entered one by one. When it was our country's turn, the audience in front of the screen were stunned when they saw a girl in the middle of the team waving small flags with her teammates to greet the audience when the camera followed.
Who else could this person be but Qiao Yiyi? !
[Oh shit, is there something wrong with my eyes? Was that Qiao Yiyi who just flashed by?]
【I suspect there is something wrong with my eyes, because I saw it too! 】
[That's impossible. How could Qiao Yiyi possibly compete in the Olympics? It must be an athlete who looks like her.]
"Isn't this too similar? Height, build, and eyes—even twin sisters don't look this similar, do they?"
[I saw it wrong, I must have seen it wrong. Qiao Yiyi can't be in the Olympics. Didn't she say she was going to train? She can't be training with the national team, right? [Laughing and crying]]
[Report! Family, I just checked the list of contestants, and that hot woman is indeed Qiao Yiyi!]
【!!!!!!】
Is this true? Did she really go to the Olympics? Why?
[As for the reason you asked before, weren't you clamoring for her to participate in the Olympics when she participated in the Star Sports Games? Why are you asking why now?]
"No, that's not what I meant. It's just too big a gap. The Star Sports Festival is just a variety show, how can it really be compared to the Olympics?"
[Yeah, we were just joking at first.]
【I can't accept X I can't accept X I can't accept】
"I'm not Sister Li. How could she dare to do that in such a grand occasion with so many amazing athletes around? Is this another hype?"
[The hype is spreading to the nation? She's really awesome. Also, what's the point of being a national team player? Anyone can make it?]
Netizens originally thought they were seeing things, but after confirming that Qiao Yiyi was indeed participating in the Olympics, they were so surprised that their eyes almost popped out.
Despite their shock, they had to accept the fact that Qiao Yiyi was indeed participating in the Olympics. However, after the shock subsided, they began to worry again. Was Qiao Yiyi serious? Did she really have the ability to represent her country?
It didn't take long for Qiao Yiyi to slap these netizens in the face with her outstanding strength.
In the track and field events, she single-handedly won the gold medals in the women's 100 meters, women's high jump, and women's 400 meters hurdles. Among them, the women's 100 meters broke the highest record left by athletes over the years, making her a well-deserved female sprinter!
In the swimming event, she was like a shark swimming fast in the sea, winning the gold medal in the women's 200-meter freestyle. She also helped the team to turn the situation around at the last moment and win first place, causing the audience on and off the field to scream continuously.
Although there are many athletes in Olympic history who have participated in multiple events and achieved good results, it is rare to find someone like Qiao Yiyi who has a wide range of events.
The people of the country were excited, and the foreign players never expected that such a dark horse would emerge this year. The coaches were so excited that they almost cried!
[I was wrong. I apologize to Qiao Yiyi! Qiao Yiyi was the one who fell from the cow.]
I cried. Some people said they were going to study, but in reality they were participating in the Olympics and winning so many gold medals.
[Is this the legendary secret of quietly stunning everyone? Love it!]
[I wonder who will dare to call Qiao Yiyi a useless vase again! She can appear on variety shows, act in movies, and is an Olympic champion!]
【awsl! Decathlon sister shark me! 】
The Yiyi birds never expected that the temporary retirement their master mentioned actually meant retiring to the national team, and the further studies he mentioned actually meant winning medals in the Olympics!
Fans of such an excellent and versatile artist said: "I'm sorry, I'm not worthy of it. I'll go study after I finish watching the Olympics!"
Qiao Yiyi's friends Qin Yiyang and Sang Bai hugged each other excitedly, then pushed each other away in disgust. After a moment of shyness, they all forwarded the video about Qiao Yiyi.
Zong Chang, who is usually not very active, also cheered for Qiao Yiyi on Weibo, not to mention Qu Fan and Xiong Ying who participated in the celebrity sports meeting together.
Qu Fan was filled with inspiration and immediately wrote a song for Qiao Yiyi, which he would give to her after the Olympics.
As for Xiong Ying, she was so busy liking the comments from netizens praising Qiao Yiyi that she was almost too busy with both hands.
Several veterans from the national variety show "Extreme Forward" where Qiao Yiyi was a guest, as well as Lian Ru and Liu Jin, who had worked together on "My Dream Town", also sent congratulations to Qiao Yiyi on Weibo.
Most people in the entertainment industry sent congratulatory messages to Qiao Yiyi, especially many big names among them. This kind of grand occasion had only occurred when a national goddess got married before.
Even Fang Yun, who had previously had no good impression of Qiao Yiyi, started telling everyone, "Qiao Yiyi? I know her, of course I know her. We've filmed together before and walked the red carpet together. We have a pretty good relationship."
"You want an autograph?" She waved her hand casually. "Well, given our friendship, it's easy. Wait, I'll get you ten or even dozens of autographs later."
After praising Haikou, I felt guilty. Qiao Yiyi probably hasn't remembered that I cheated her, right?
This year's Olympics was extremely popular and was a true carnival for the whole nation. Young and old, boys and girls, almost all knew about a girl named Qiao Yiyi who won many gold medals in one go.
In addition, Qiao Yiyi was already very popular as an artist in the entertainment industry. Although she had been silent for a year and her popularity had declined, after this battle, her popularity quickly soared to the peak, and her number of Weibo fans also soared to a level comparable to that of national celebrities!
Many agents and film and television companies in the entertainment industry also hurriedly inquired about Qiao Yiyi's contract status. When they learned that her contract with Star Dream Entertainment had expired and she had not signed with any other company and was a free agent, they launched an offensive.
So Baomei’s phone was almost blown up during this period, and her mailbox was filled with business invitations from many partners.
Qi Shaocheng, the president of Star Dream Entertainment, was almost mad when he saw this. He never thought that after he cut off Qiao Yiyi's announcements and didn't give her the opportunity to be exposed, she actually went to participate in the Olympics!
If I had known this little girl was so capable, I should have given her some sweet treats and not let her go from the company.
Qi Shaocheng called his secretary and asked him to prepare a letter of intent for cooperation. After the Olympics were over and Qiao Yiyi came back, he would go to her to discuss the cooperation.
He knew that Qiao Yiyi was a hot commodity at this time, and everyone was eyeing her covetously.
So this time, he would take Qiao Yiyi at all costs.
After seeing their daughter's success, Qiao Yiyi's parents regretted it deeply. They should have insisted and asked for more money! They even suddenly felt regretful. If they had known their little girl would be so promising, they wouldn't have despised her because she was a girl when she was born, fearing she would become a burden to the family and sold her off.
The couple wanted to go find Qiao Yiyi again, but was stopped by Qiao Pan.
"Have you forgotten the promise you signed? When my fourth sister... Yiyi was born, you sold her for ten thousand yuan, and then you broke off all ties with her for five hundred thousand yuan. How can you still have the nerve to go look for her?"
"You little ungrateful bastard, we want the money just for you!" Wu Xiuying was so angry that she slapped her son on the head.
The young man lowered his head, then raised it again, this time with a firm gaze. "I don't need you to extort money from Sister Yiyi in the name of doing good for me. I will work hard to earn money and repay you for the down payment you paid for my house. I just hope you won't look for her again. Can't we all just live our own lives? You are no longer related to each other."
"But there's still my blood on her!" Qiao Dahong stomped his feet in anger.
Qiao Pan sneered: "Since you knew she had your blood in her veins, why did you treat her like that?"
Qiao Dahong was choked and speechless for a moment.
Qiao Pan continued, "I've put away your ID cards for the time being. Don't even think about going to City A to look for her again. And don't go around telling people she's your daughter. I'm embarrassed for you."
"You, you--" Qiao Dahong almost couldn't catch his breath, his hands were shaking as he pointed at his useless son.
Wu Xiuying was afraid that he would get hurt from being angry, so she didn't even bother to look for Qiao Yiyi. She hurriedly helped him calm down and told him not to get hurt.
The Olympics ended successfully, and Qiao Yiyi returned home happily holding the gold medal.
In addition to medals, she received millions in bonuses from the state, as well as awards from sports associations and governments at all levels. The total amount of money she received was over 10 million.
There was also a well-known domestic entrepreneur on the world's rich list who liked her very much. After learning that Qiao Yiyi's dream had always been to open a gourmet food store, he directly bought a shop for her in a prosperous area in City A, allowing her to realize her own dream.
There are constant invitations to various advertising endorsements and commercial activities.
Qiao Yiyi suddenly felt that she was busier than when she was an artist.
But when she saw the string of zeros after the amount she received, she was so happy that she almost exploded.
At that time, I participated in the Olympics only because of the encouragement of netizens and the invitation of Coach Liu. I didn’t think too much about it. Now I feel it’s really great.
She hadn't been in the entertainment industry for long, constantly busy with variety shows and filming, and all the money she'd worked so hard to earn went to fill the original owner's hole. When she finally had some savings, she used it all to help those cheap parents.
Now, there is so much money in her card all of a sudden, and she even has the shop she has always dreamed of. Qiao Yiyi feels as if she has reached the peak of her life.
She finally had her own shop! No, a big shop! The shop that the rich man had bought for her was quite big, so she could give it her all!
In the next few months, Qiao Yiyi was busy with various activities - commendation parties, celebration parties, thank-you parties, etc.
After all this was over, she gathered with Sang Bai, Xiong Ying, Qu Fan, Zong Chang and others.
Because it was too troublesome to meet each other separately, she simply held a party at home, invited everyone to her house, and cooked for them herself.
Some of these people are already familiar with each other, while others are meeting for the first time. However, since they have basically appeared on various programs, although they are not so familiar with each other, they can still chat with each other.
He Yao was invited here. This was his first time to eat the dishes cooked by Qiao Yiyi herself. However, he felt a little unhappy to be with so many people.
When the others saw the national-level male god appear here, they all had expressions of disbelief. The scene that was lively just now suddenly became tense.
Xiong Ying and the others were all younger, and they usually didn't come into contact with people like He Yao. They had heard how aloof he was, especially that he didn't like interacting with girls, so they were even more afraid of him.
Qin Yiyang was fine, because He Yao had visited the crew before and was quite caring towards them during the ceremony. When others didn't dare to talk to He Yao, he was the only one who took the initiative to chat with He Yao, talking a lot, showing his social prowess to the extreme.
"Oh, so you live in the same neighborhood." Sang Bai was even more surprised to learn that Qiao Yiyi and the actor lived in the same neighborhood. But after the surprise faded, a gossipy smile appeared on his face, "So you are the first to get the moon because you are close to the water?"
"Nonsense!" Qiao Yiyi was just opening the lid of the soup to test its saltiness. When she heard Sang Bai say that, her face, already flushed from the steam, became even more red. "I'm not that familiar with him."
"You invited him if you weren't that familiar with him? How could he care so much about you if you weren't that familiar with him?" Sang Bai had also heard from Qiao Yiyi intermittently about how He Yao had helped her many times. With a girl's intuition, she felt that there must be something fishy going on.
Qiao Yiyi: "Uh..."
While helping her pick vegetables, Sang Bai continued to use his imagination: "Let's put that aside for now. Let's just say you live in the same neighborhood. How could it be such a coincidence that you moved to the same place as him? What a wonderful fate."
"This..." Qiao Yiyi raised her head and said that this was not a coincidence, but intentional.
She told Sang Bai the real reason.
Sang Bai looked at her in disbelief: "So it's just because of such a stupid reason?"
Qiao Yiyi later felt that she was being ridiculous.
He actually took the fans' casual remark seriously and went to great lengths to get autographs for them. He even moved to the neighborhood where He Yao lived just to be closer to him.
"My youth is over, and I've been supporting your couple for so long."
"When did you start shipping our couple?" Qiao Yiyi was shocked.
Sang Bai: "Last time, when you went to the polar regions to film a movie, you told me that you were tricked into going to sea and that He Yao found you. You also said that you were an exception..."
Qiao Yiyi: “…”
It's outrageous.
She glared at Sang Bai and said, "I think you've been in too many idol dramas and you've become romantically obsessed. Pick your dish, there are so many left!"
Sang Bai: "I didn't, I wasn't, don't talk nonsense."
He Yao really couldn't stand Qin Yiyang's endless nagging in his ear, so he went to the kitchen under the pretext of getting a glass of water. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Qiao Yiyi and Sang Bai mention his name.
He subconsciously stopped and then heard Qiao Yiyi's "long-planned" words. So this was the reason.
After learning the truth, He Yao felt a little disappointed at first, but soon he felt it was nothing.
Doesn't his kindness to her also have ulterior motives?
Perhaps, he felt that he should not wait so slowly for her to discover his feelings. The boy named Zong Chang in the living room had been staring at her since he entered the room.
When I was watching the live broadcast, I felt that this guy was too submissive to Qiao Yiyi. Although he didn't talk much, the admiration hidden in his eyes was something only men could see through at a glance.
"Brother, what are you doing standing here?"
Qin Yiyang saw that He Yao had not come out for a long time and Sang Bai was not around. He suddenly felt lonely when he opened his mouth, so he came to the kitchen to find them, and then saw He Yao standing at the door and not going in.
Qiao Yiyi was concentrating on preparing food and chatting with Sang Bai. When she heard the voice, she turned around and saw that it was He Yao. She was so shocked that she almost cut her finger.
"W-Why are you here?"
He Yao looked at her with a faint smile and said, "There's no water in the kettle. I'll come in and get some."
"Oh, oh!" Qiao Yiyi hurriedly took the kettle to boil water, her ears were burning.
He was standing outside the door just now. Did he hear the whole conversation between her and Sang Bai?
Did he also realize his own evil intentions?
Qiao Yiyi was very panicked and her face was burning. She was afraid that He Yao would misunderstand her, but he said nothing and looked like he knew nothing, so she didn't dare to bring it up.
When the water boiled, He Yao took it and reminded her as he turned around: "Watch your fingers when cutting vegetables, be careful not to cut yourself."
Qiao Yiyi's face turned red.
After He Yao left, Sang Bai couldn't control her excitement. She wanted to scream, but she had to lower her voice, so that her whole face was a little distorted.
"Just say it, just say it, he treats you differently!"
Qiao Yiyi: “…”
Forget it, let it be destroyed, let her say whatever she wants.
Qiao Yiyi angrily prepared a table of delicious meals to satisfy the appetites of those who came to the party today.
Qin Yiyang: "Sister Yiyi, your cooking skills are amazing! By the way, when will your new store open?"
Xiong Ying nodded wildly: "Yes, yes, remember to call us when you open, we will go to support you!"
Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, Qiao Yiyi also wanted to do the same. However, there were too many things to prepare for opening a store, and she had been too busy recently so she hadn't thought it through yet.
She told everyone that preparations were still ongoing and she would call them when it was ready.
So while eating, everyone happily talked about how to decorate, what to sell and how to promote, and they talked quite clearly.
After the dinner, everyone got together to play a game of script-killing. They played until very late and left Qiao Yiyi's house reluctantly.
Qiao Yiyi and He Yao saw them out, agreed on a price for them, and only went back after seeing them off one by one.
The moonlight is very beautiful tonight. The faint moonlight cuts many staggered light and shadows on the ground between the trees on both sides of the path. A cool breeze blows, swaying the leaves and making a rustling sound.
After the noisy group left, everything suddenly quieted down, something Qiao Yiyi wasn't used to. Especially since she realized that walking back with He Yao side by side felt like an old couple seeing off a friend who had come to visit them.
Qiao Yiyi shuddered. She actually had such an idea!
I must have been brainwashed by Sang Bai's nonsense tonight.
"Is it cold?"
He Yao saw the girl next to him shivering, so he took off his coat and put it on her.
It was late at night and the wind was a little chilly.
Qiao Yiyi was caught off guard. She stiffened her back to prevent her coat from falling off, and she walked with her hands and feet clumsily.
He Yao noticed her unnaturalness and a smile appeared in his eyes.
He began to chat with her casually.
"What are you going to do next? Continue in the entertainment industry or open a shop?"
Qiao Yiyi's movements were still very stiff: "Let's do it all."
Although the bonus was substantial, it was still far from enough. The expenses of running a shop were enormous, and she wasn't sure if she could sustain it. She still had to work hard to earn money.
He Yao nodded: "Is that so."
He looked thoughtful and asked, "Have you decided which company to join?"
He Yao knew that there were a lot of companies that wanted to sign Qiao Yiyi. It was said that her original company, Star Dream Entertainment, came to her personally and tried to lobby her with generous treatment, but ended up saying "You don't deserve it". It was really cute.
As for other companies, they didn't give up either.
Qiao Yiyi was also very worried about this matter some time ago. After all, the conditions offered by those companies were too good, and one of them was even a leading company in the entertainment industry, with extremely good resources.
But she had promised Sister Anna that she would never give up on her even when she was having the worst time, and she couldn't leave her when she was at her lowest point.
So after hesitating for a long time, Qiao Yiyi decided to sign with Sister Anna's company.
She told He Yao about this decision, and He Yao didn't seem very surprised.
"That seems like your style." He said with a smile, as if he had known she would make this choice.
Qiao Yiyi turned her head to look at him and wondered, "What's my style?"
He Yao thought for a moment and said, "Honest?"
"You are the honest one!"
These days, "honest" is not a good word to praise people. Qiao Yiyi feels that although she is a bit Buddhist, she can still be very tough sometimes. How can she be honest?
Qiao Yiyi was dissatisfied and began to argue with He Yao.
Balabala said that she is also very fierce. She usually doesn't care about others because she doesn't take them to heart and is too lazy to care about others. If her bottom line is really touched, she will explode!
As he was talking, he heard the person next to him laugh out loud.
Only then did I realize that I was a little excited.
Qiao Yiyi blushed immediately.
But He Yao said, "I'm so unwilling to let that woman Zhao Anna snatch you away."
Qiao Yiyi's face flushed intensely as she muttered softly, "Can you please speak properly? What do you mean by 'snatched away'? I clearly agreed to it from the beginning..."
He Yao sighed: "But I still can't accept it, even though my conditions are so good."
Qiao Yiyi was speechless: "What can I do? I can't split myself into two, one for you and one for Sister Anna?"
He Yao's eyes flashed, and he suddenly stopped and asked, "How about if you sign the agency contract with Zhao Anna, and the person is signed to me?"
"What do you mean?" Qiao Yiyi was confused by him.
He Yao didn't expect her to be so thick-skinned and couldn't help but sigh again.
It seems that we really have to do as Brother Bin said, don't beat around the bush, just be direct.
So he looked at the girl seriously and said, "What I mean is, I like you and want to sign a lifelong contract with you."
