desire to perform
If you don't consider the budget and just do the renovation, it won't take much time to set up a stadium.
Jian Zhaonan said that he knew a friend who did interior decoration and could help. Liu Jianchun didn't ask any questions and left the task of decorating the stadium to him.
After that night, even if the two of them couldn't be called boyfriend and girlfriend for the time being, unless something unexpected happened, things would develop in that direction.
As a reserve girlfriend, there is nothing wrong with enjoying the convenience offered by someone. After all, money is earned to be spent. Spending it on others can at best bring some benefits, but spending it on your girlfriend can satisfy your vanity.
Men are the most vain. Rich men will show off their wealth, officials will abuse their power, and even if the only advantage they have is that they have a gentle and virtuous wife, they will still show it off.
Jian Zhaonan won't be much better off.
In the past, he was shy and taciturn because his family was not as well off as others. Now that he has finally made a name for himself, if he doesn't show off, it would be a shame for all his hard work over the years.
On the day of moving into the new stadium, Liu Jianchun received a call from Wang Zhixin's secretary, who said that today was the last day to register for the "Fengtai Cup" junior group. Boss Wang saw that her name was not on the list and specifically asked him to come and ask.
She subconsciously felt that Boss Wang was a bit like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, but it would not do any harm to the kids on her team if they could participate in more competitions before the second team selection.
Time flies. One week after the registration deadline, the "Fengtai Cup" will open.
When going out to participate in competitions, Liu Jianchun doesn't often lead the team himself. This kind of high-profile work is usually done by another coach. But this time, he had to come and show his support because Boss Wang personally invited him.
She had only been there for half a day, but she still ran into quite a few acquaintances. Old friends inevitably exchanged pleasantries, and among them, they inevitably asked about her retirement due to a car accident.
This is a thorn in her heart. Even though many years have passed and she can now laugh with others about how miserable she was when she was rescued, she still feels a little uncomfortable.
If she hadn't had that car accident, she might not be the top athlete now, but she certainly wouldn't be in this state. With her energy back then, winning a gold medal in the three major tournaments would have been a piece of cake, maybe even two, or even a Grand Slam...
But there are no ifs in life.
She could only comfort herself that the current situation was fine. After all, the Chinese team had no shortage of world champions, but the kids in her team lacked a good and conscientious coach like her.
Although Liu Jianchun has not provided on-site guidance for some time, his sharp words and encouragement have made him as skilled as ever. The three games he presided over all ended with a score of 3-0.
In the end, the men's and women's singles and women's doubles all advanced to the finals, and the men's doubles and team also reached the quarterfinals.
Jian Zhaonan did not come to watch the first few games, and Liu Jianchun pretended not to see anything even when he saw it.
From her experience with Xie Yu, she knew that men hated being controlled by women. The more boundaries she had, the less secure he felt. And conversely, she became the insecure person. With Xie Yu's failure in mind, she decided to give it a try this time, letting him run free and not asking any questions.
On the day of the final, she saw him in the stands on the east side of the stadium.
He was dressed very low-key, in a black and white casual outfit. His hairstyle looked like it had been specially styled, with a layered 3:7 split. He only wore a mask and no hat, probably to show off his look.
Jian Zhaonan was more enamored with beauty than she was, a fact that became even more pronounced after he gained a certain level of financial strength. Unfortunately, not long after he was able to flourish, she was in a car accident and forced to retire, completely cutting off contact between them. Because of this, the Jian Zhaonan she remembered was a shy and quiet boy.
He didn't take the initiative to greet her, so she went about preparing for the performance, and the two of them seemed like strangers.
Liu Jianchun's coaching seat was on the west side of the stadium, just across the stage from Jian Zhaonan who was sitting on the east side.
There were almost no spectators at this small competition, and the few people sitting in the front row all had free tickets. Liu Jianchun originally had no pressure to manage her expression, but when she thought of Jian Zhaonan sitting opposite her, she became inexplicably nervous and didn't even dare to cross her legs. After one game, her back and waist were sore.
The coaching seats of both teams were dozens of meters apart. Liu Jianchun could not hear what the coach on the opposite side was saying, but Jian Zhaonan, who was sitting behind them, could hear it clearly.
The opposing coach hadn't spoken since he took the court. Initially, Jian Zhaonan thought he was discussing tactics with his players, so he paid no attention. But then, with the score tied and the entire stadium silent, he suddenly heard, "I always say women shouldn't be coaches." He felt a wave of discomfort, and he couldn't sit still. While he couldn't just rush off the stage to question this guy, he still needed to find out who he really was.
Just when he was about to check this person's background, the other party came to him on his own initiative. When he turned around inadvertently, Jian Zhaonan saw his face clearly.
Also an old friend.
He and Liu Jianchun were teammates in the provincial team, but because he never made it into the national team, they gradually lost contact.
If he remembered correctly, this guy had liked Liu Jianchun when they were in the provincial team. When she was selected for the second team, he came to see her several times, but without exception, he was ignored.
Jian Zhaonan remembered him, but whether Liu Jianchun remembered him or not was another matter. After all, this guy was plain-looking and had a bad temper. He liked to brag after drinking a little, and the girls in his team all avoided him.
Jian Zhaonan's attention was originally on Liu Jianchun. Ever since he knew who was sitting in front of him, that person's voice was all he could hear.
"Is she pretty? She and I were teammates before. If the team didn't forbid premature love, I would have taken her away long ago."
"Women are just not good enough. The male players they train are bloodless and effeminate."
…
When Dalin, who was standing opposite the table, lost a game, the group became even more excited. The whole team stood up and booed, and some even whistled at Liu Jianchun.
Jian Zhaonan frowned and before he could finish watching the game, he walked out of the stadium and called Boss Wang to remind him to manage the order on the scene.
Wang Zhixin gave him face. When he returned to his seat, a staff member came to remind him and took the boy who had just whistled out.
But Jian Zhaonan still felt unhappy. In the past, he was not strong enough, so he could only watch Liu Jianchun being bullied and could do nothing. Now, although he could not say that he was completely ruthless, he could still do her a little justice within the legal and compliant scope. Naturally, he did not want her to suffer any harm.
At the end of the game, Dalin won the men's singles championship.
Dalin hugged his teammates excitedly, but Liu Jianchun was packing his things on the side, with neither sadness nor joy on his face.
When Jian Zhaonan saw the last ball land, he left before the audience and waited for her in the athlete's passage. He waited for a long time before he saw her and her teammates appear at the entrance.
The team members were very considerate. As soon as they saw Jian Zhaonan, they all said they wanted to change their clothes and ran away quickly, leaving Liu Jianchun alone.
She didn't know what to say when they suddenly met in public and had to pretend to be serious in her words and behavior. After thinking about it, she could only tell him what had delayed her for a while.
She said that today's referee was really weird. Why did he bring the opposing coach to apologize to her after the game? She watched very closely but didn't notice anything the opposing team did. The apology was really confusing.
She also said that the coach on the opposite side was also very strange. He looked very familiar, but she just couldn't remember who he was. The way he looked at her was also very strange, evasive, and a little guilty.
He said nothing, just smiled faintly: "Besides apologizing, he didn't catch up with you?"
She was a little surprised: "You know him?"
"You know him too, he even gave you a bracelet."
She thought for a long time before she finally managed to find some memories: "It turned out to be him... Men really change a lot when they grow up. How come he's already fat before he's even thirty?"
"Maybe they're getting married."
She felt like she had eaten a hard candy with a sour filling. The sour taste suddenly surged onto her tongue as the candy coating melted. She suddenly revealed a hint of pain: "Why do men get fat when they get married? Will you be like this in the future?"
"Maybe." He looked down at her and blinked, "If I become fat and ugly, you will stop loving me."
She looked into his deep, affectionate eyes and was a little shy at first, but then she thought, it seemed like she had been led astray by this guy. He directly admitted on her behalf that she liked him...
This boy is really bad. She was secretly shocked.
She took the initiative to meet his gaze: "Maybe by then, I will be seduced back by Xie Yu. Women are also visual animals."
"Why are you still obsessed with him?"
"It's not me who can't forget him, it's you. If I don't mention him, can I choke you?"
He smiled helplessly, and when there was no one around, he put his arm around her shoulders and brought her closer to him. As he smelled the faint fragrance from her body, the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
He was the one who was with her now. He was narrow-minded because he was still brooding over a past relationship. He could do nothing but pretend he didn't care. As for the other coach's slander against her, judging by her expression, she must have not heard anything, so he pretended not to know.
After receiving the awards, the children who participated in the competition were invited to a banquet by the organizers. When they heard that there would be other stars at the dinner, they couldn't contain their excitement. Seeing this, Liu Jianchun had no choice but to let them go.
At once, everyone went to the banquet hosted by Boss Wang, leaving only Jian Zhaonan and Xuanyunduo at home. Looking at the two brothers, Liu Jianchun decided to cook himself and show off his cooking skills to them.
She is usually too busy to take care of the quality of life. When it comes to food, her requirements are as good as anyone else, and people who are picky about food are often forced to become good cooks by themselves.
On the way back from the stadium, she bought a few eels and seasonal vegetables. There was some steak left at home, so she pan-fried the steak and stir-fried two or three side dishes, which was enough to feed three people.
In Jian Zhaonan's mind, Liu Jianchun was not only an outstanding senior, but also a young lady from a wealthy family. He hadn't expected anything from her cooking, but he didn't expect the finished product to be so delicious, fragrant, and beautiful, that it rivaled even the quality of a star-rated hotel. He couldn't even finish two bowls of rice to satisfy his hunger.
Xuanyunduo is very quiet in front of her brothers and sisters, but after dinner, she silently takes on the task of cleaning up the mess.
By the time Xuanyunduo finished washing the dishes, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the children who attended the dinner also came back one after another.
Liu Jianchun was just about to ask about the situation when Dalin and Yunxiao came to her first. They looked like they had just had a fight. Yunxiao's eyes were red and he was too angry to speak, while Dalin straightened his neck and turned his head away, and didn't say anything no matter what he was asked.
