Do you want to try it?
When Jian Zhaonan sent her back, they didn't say a word along the way.
When she got home, the little brats at home all looked at her with curiosity, but she ignored them all and went straight back to the bedroom to lie down.
Lying on the bed, Liu Jianchun still felt very unreal, and her mind was full of what Jian Zhaonan had said to her.
He was in his twenties, too. He shouldn't have spoken so carelessly. Even if he had liked her before, after all these years, he should have forgotten. She had been joking when she said that to Qin Tianyi. He had heard it, so he could have just brushed it off. Why did he have to admit it? Even if he dared to admit it, she wouldn't have dared to argue. Besides, what was there to like about her? She wasn't pretty enough, her personality wasn't good, and she was running a mess that was only throwing money away but making no money...
The door suddenly opened, and the light from outside shone in, causing Liu Jianchun to squint. A dark figure appeared at the door, but he couldn't see who it was. "Coach, are you asleep?"
Hearing the voice sound like Yunxiao, she perked up and got up from the bed, turning on the light: "I'm not asleep."
Yunxiao said shyly, "Coach, was the person who just brought you back Brother Zhaonan?"
She was confused and wanted to say no, but since Yunxiao asked, it must be because he saw Jian Zhaonan's car. If she tried to argue, the matter would probably get worse. She could only admit it: "What do you want to say?"
Yunxiao lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the coach. "Dalin texted him as a joke, asking why he only took you out and not us. And then... he said he'd take us to Universal Studios this weekend. Can we really go?"
In the past, Liu Jianchun would have said, "You've been bribed by these small favors. Why go to Universal Studios? I'll take you to Orlando Disneyland when you win the championship." But now, the account was only going out, and there was no income. A hundred thousand yuan was too much to spend. She had to save some money to pay for the competition registration fee and hotel. Forget Disneyland, she didn't even want to pay for the monkey tickets to the park.
She was stingy, but now she had a ready-made nouveau riche with too much money to burn. "You guys can go, but I won't. I have other things to do this weekend. You should pay more attention to it and take good care of everyone. Don't bother Jian Zhaonan all the time."
"Coach, but..." Yun Xiao pursed her lips again and again, not daring to say the words after the "but." She had known Liu Jianchun the longest and understood her temper best, and before she could even say it, Yun Xiao knew she would be furious.
"But what? Just say what you want to say. Don't waste time."
"You must not be angry."
"I'm not angry, tell me."
"I don't think he wants to see us, he wants to see you. If you don't go, and only a bunch of us go there to eat and drink for free, he'll be unhappy."
Yunxiao spoke in a low voice and kept stealing glances at her, fearing that he would say something wrong and upset her, but Liu Jianchun had no expression at all, so she couldn't tell whether she was angry or not.
She was silent for a moment: "It's okay, he won't be unhappy, and even if he is unhappy, he won't be angry with you."
There seemed to be something hidden in Liu Jianchun's words, but Yunxiao didn't feel that she was qualified to ask what happened between the coach and that person tonight. She was already very happy to get the answer that she could go out and play. She was about to leave when she heard the coach suddenly call her.
"Yunxiao, come here and sit with me for a while."
She was a little confused, but she was powerless and had no choice but to agree.
"What do you think of Jian Zhaonan?" Liu Jianchun stared at her without concealing his gaze, waiting for her answer.
"fine."
"Can you be more specific?"
Specifically...how specific did she want her to be? She didn't have much of a relationship with Jian Zhaonan, they had only met once. How could she know what kind of person he was?
But since the coach asked, Yunxiao couldn't help but answer: "I think he has a good personality. That day in the hospital, he didn't lose his temper even when so many relatives pointed at his nose and scolded him. Today, Dalin sent him a message, and he even asked if Dalin was okay."
"If you were to be his boyfriend or girlfriend, would you still think he was a good person?"
When Yunxiao thought of Jian Zhaonan's handsome face, she felt her face burning with embarrassment, but she didn't dare to show too much excitement. Who knew what the coach was thinking? What if he didn't like him?
"It's hard to say. Some people are one way with their friends and one way with their girlfriends."
"He won't."
He won't...
Even Liu Jianchun was shocked by what she said. But when she thought about it, it was not surprising. In her heart, Jian Zhaonan had always been a good boy. Whoever married him would surely be happy for the rest of her life.
However, not everyone can enjoy good fortune.
She would rather not have known him in the past. Their story started directly in Qin Tianyi's restaurant. If she only looked at his face without considering his age, she might really be able to accept him.
"Yunxiao, do you think there's something wrong with me? I really can't accept boys younger than me." She turned and looked at her. "Don't you think boys are very childish? Just like you and Dalin, although you were born the same year, you are much more mature than her, like his older sister. If you were to date Dalin, would you be able to accept it?"
Yunxiao was stunned.
She was a little suspicious whether she was dreaming. Why would the coach consult her about emotional issues? She seemed to be still a minor.
"Well..." Yun Xiao pursed his lips awkwardly. "Coach, I've never been in a relationship, so I don't really understand. But being young definitely has its advantages. Otherwise, why are there always rich women supporting gigolos? And Brother Zhaonan is indeed a good man. It would be a pity to miss him."
If Yunxiao understands this, how could Liu Jianchun not understand it?
He is good in every way: he is a good player, handsome, and devoted to her. The only problem is that she doesn't like him.
She had also heard many people say that feelings can be cultivated, so she was a little hesitant. She wondered if her relationship with Jian Zhaonan could also be cultivated...
"Yunxiao, when does he plan to take you out this weekend? I want to go too."
"It seems to be Sunday."
There are especially many people getting their hair cut on Sundays.
In order to look more energetic when going to the appointment, Liu Jianchun went to the barber shop at the door to get a big wavy perm to make herself more feminine. As a result, she waited in line for an hour and arrived at the entrance of the amusement park with a group of children at nearly eleven o'clock.
Fortunately, someone bought a U-Pass, so arriving late did not affect the gaming experience and I could travel smoothly wherever I went.
Liu Jianchun had no intention of participating, but when he thought about the money for the express pass and the guided tour tickets, he felt that he had to play.
She took Dalin to try all the available rides. When they came out of the panoramic cinema, she saw the roller coaster not far away and became interested. She knew that Jian Zhaonan was afraid of heights, but she still urged Dalin and dragged him on to ride it, just to see him make a fool of himself.
Who made him expose her scars in front of Qin Tianyi and mention that she had never won a gold medal in a major competition until she retired?
Jian Zhaonan didn't scream, his eyes closed the entire time, as quiet as if he were unconscious. Only after getting off the roller coaster did she notice his face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat.
She felt a little regretful now. If she had known he was so timid, she shouldn't have forced him...
She took out a small fan from her bag to help him blow air: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay..." He said it reluctantly, without even raising his head, his eyes lowered as he stared blankly at the trash can.
He was afraid of heights, but not to the point of being frightened. What really hurt him was his lower back. The sudden stops and starts of the roller coaster caused his lower back injury to flare up at a time when it shouldn't have happened.
He clenched his fists and rubbed his knuckles, but the pain didn't subside at all.
Liu Jianchun looked at his upright sitting posture and the way he stroked his waist, and immediately understood: "Did you hurt your waist again? It's all my fault... Is the pain severe? Will it affect your subsequent training?"
He turned back to look at her with difficulty: "Training, why is your mind full of training? Can't you really care about me?"
"I just care about you."
He forced a smile and said, "How can you call this caring for me? You're worried that I won't be able to train and that this will hinder the great cause of table tennis in our country."
Liu Jianchun was both amused and speechless at the thought of talking nonsense at a time like this. "Stop being so narcissistic. What we have the most is people who can play table tennis. If you become disabled, there will be someone else who can fill in immediately."
She felt that she couldn't continue sitting here and talking nonsense with him, and she had to go to the infirmary.
She put his arm on her shoulders and tried to help him stand up, but before she could exert any strength, he gasped in pain and pulled his hand away from her shoulder. He didn't say anything, but she knew that she must have hurt him with her previous action.
Seeing that he couldn't move, the only options were to find a wheelchair or a stretcher, or...
Several young men walked past, and Liu Jianchun's eyes were instantly fixed on them. She took the initiative to chase after them: "Excuse me, I wonder if you could do me a favor."
The man walking in front heard her voice and turned around first. He had an upright posture, simple and fashionable clothes, and large sunglasses covering most of his face. However, one could tell from his smooth and strong facial features that he was a handsome man.
The others didn't speak, but this man took the initiative to walk towards Liu Jianchun and stood in front of her: "What do you want me to do for you?"
Looking at Xie Yu's all-too-familiar face, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak. She wanted to escape, but it was too late.
Even though they had been separated for a long time, when they met again, she still didn't dare to look him in the eye. Just smelling the familiar perfume on him made her heart start pounding.
At this point, deliberately avoiding him would only make her look guilty. She gritted her teeth, turned back and took the initiative to meet his gaze: "My friend is injured, can you help me take him to the infirmary?"
"Your friend?" Xie Yu took off his sunglasses and looked at Jian Zhaonan. "Are you talking about him?"
"It's him."
"He... is just your friend?"
"What else could it be if not friends?"
Xie Yu seemed to be thinking about something, and paused for a few seconds before agreeing. Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by his brother: "Brother Yu, where are you going? Those guys are still waiting for you."
As he spoke, the man's eyes looked Liu Jianchun up and down restlessly: "The beauty I found for you is much more beautiful than this one."
However, Xie Yu impatiently shook off his hand and told him to go ahead and not wait for her.
