Another dream of life
So, it really is her.
The long-standing dream and the illusion of regret are all because of another "Qu Chi". She may have given up athletics and spent a long time with infinite regrets. She wanted to return to the arena, but did she succeed?
If she had not succeeded, how could he have accompanied her to practice the 400 meters in her dream? What kind of turning point in life made "Qu Chi" leave with regret, but come back resolutely, and finally, influence her today, and make her embark on the path she should have taken so early?
Qu Chi felt a little confused, yet relieved.
It was not until the cheers from the whole audience rang out that Qu Chi came to her senses. There was a white light and the phantom disappeared without a trace. The person standing in front of her was her real opponent in this game.
Qu Chi just remembered that this race was the World Championships final. How had she run just now? Qu Chi searched for the results flashing on the electronic screen and saw a result that made her heart beat wildly.
Third place: Qu Chi (CHINA), 49.79 seconds (PB) (NB).
Personal best in history and national record.
At this moment, Qu Chi was sure that the cheers on the field belonged to her. This result was enough to surprise everyone who followed Chinese track and field, and this surprise was brought by her.
A bronze medal in the World Championships and breaking the national record are miracles. This is a miracle created by a genius named Qu Chi.
Qu Chi raised her hands high and waved them towards the audience. No matter which side she faced, she received excited responses from the audience. Regardless of whether they were from the same country or not, they all congratulated Qu Chi for this miracle.
"Qu, you are an amazing girl."
Ophelia came forward first. She successfully defended her title and won another World Championship gold medal, leading the field with a time of 49.33 seconds.
Qu Chi accepted her hug and turned his head to see who was the second place.
Because of the language difference, Qu Chi just found only her most familiar name. As for the second name, she squinted her eyes to confirm the pronunciation.
"Bailey?"
Qu Chi's face was full of surprise, even confusion and worry.
"Why?"
Qu Chi remembered something and hurriedly looked at the end. The two names at the end were even more incredible.
Ophelia let her go, put her hands on her hips and whispered in her ear, her laughter actually had a bit of gloating:
"Your old rivals are having a rough time tonight, little one."
Qu Chi looked at Ottovi, who was already lying on the staff's stretcher. Qu Chi was caught off guard. So, the reason she was able to take third place in this competition was partly because one of the other two competitors had a hand injury and the other stepped on the line?
Qu Chi pursed his lips and looked for Filia again. As an experienced veteran player known for her steadiness, it was difficult to explain why she committed a foul.
Filia only confirmed that she had committed a foul after seeing her own results, but she had nothing to say.
Noticing Qu Chi's gaze, Filia walked towards her.
"Ottovi deserves it, damned fellow."
Qu Chi had no idea what was happening on the field. After Filia came over, Bailey, the second-best scorer in the game, rushed towards Qu Chi excitedly and pulled her out of Ophelia's arms.
"God! Thank you! You're amazing! It's all thanks to you! Oh my god!"
Bailey excitedly expressed his excitement in his not-so-fluent English, and even expressed his gratitude to Qu Chi.
"You treated me as your opponent, and that excitement really forced me to perform exceptionally well throughout the whole match. My God, I could feel that you, the left-handed player, were always trying to surpass me. I almost lost in the final stage, but I thought my performance might be average. Oh my God, this is simply a miracle."
Qu Chi understood what Bailey said, because she had regarded 'Qu Chi' as her opponent from the beginning to the end of this game. Bailey, who was almost in the same position as 'Qu Chi' on the right, thought that her target was her. She did not dare to relax at all during the whole game and was almost being chased. As a result, good news suddenly came from the sky and she became the lucky one who had never fallen out of the first echelon.
"So, Filia, what happened to you?"
Qu Chi tried to recall the scene when she crossed the finish line. In addition to paying attention to Qu Chi, she also glanced at some scenes behind her. At that time, Filia did not seem to be standing in the front.
Filia sighed, a rare look of regret and loss on her face.
"Even if there was no foul, I would only be fifth in this game."
When the race reached the second corner, the technique of Ottovi in front of her suddenly changed, and the amplitude of her arm swing was obviously wrong. She should not have been affected.
But as an opponent who once had some conflicts with Ottovi, she thought too much and missed the opportunity.
Under Ottovi's restraint, Filia was two beats slower when he should have accelerated immediately. In the World Championships where many elites gathered, a slight mistake on his part would lead to the opponent's overtaking.
Ottovi may not have done it on purpose. There was something wrong with her body, which caused her to not notice the deformation of her movements. In the second half of the race, Ottovi was unable to finish the race due to injury, and Filia was unable to save the situation in time.
"Congratulations, you will participate in the Olympics next year."
Qu Chi put aside his other thoughts and nodded seriously: "Yes, I will definitely participate."
Ophelia touched her chin and asked in confusion: "Hey Qu, didn't you participate in the relay race?"
This is a familiar question, fortunately Qu Chi has experience in answering this question.
Qu Chi: "...It's a pity. My World Championship journey ends here."
"oh."
After hearing what Qu Chi said, the few people realized that Qu Chi's skin color symbolized which country she came from. Before Qu Chi, they had never even heard of an athlete from the same country as Qu Chi, let alone a relay team.
However, what Qu Chi said about ending it here sounded like he was not satisfied. He won the bronze medal in his first World Championships, but he is still not satisfied?
What a great athlete! Isn't a good runner supposed to always be motivated? What a lovely opponent.
Qu Chi slowly calmed down, said goodbye to every opponent around him, and walked quickly towards Ottovi.
After a brief conversation, Ottovi finally rolled his eyes despite the pain. If he hadn't been out of energy, he would probably have extended his middle finger.
"Just wait."
Qu Chi breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, I wish you a speedy recovery."
"Of course, I won't be careless at the Olympics next year."
Qu Chi watched her leave and returned to the lounge. He saw the newly added contact information of the rehabilitation team sent by Autovi and smiled.
Ottovi had an old injury, but she recovered very well. Today's accident did not undermine Ottovi's confidence. She still firmly believes that she can rely on the team to recover her strength and fight in the Olympics.
Qu Chi was very excited.
She was not doing this to be prepared for any eventuality; in fact, she was thinking of Qu Tang.
Or perhaps it was "Qu Chi" that reminded her of Qu Tang again.
She seemed to remember that "Qu Chi" had revealed in her dream that her right leg was injured.
The Ottovi team is very professional. Perhaps more communication can provide better backup conditions for other athletes.
…
Tonight's dream was very different.
Qu Chi pushed open a door and what came into view was a familiar yet unfamiliar scene.
"Qu Chi" stood in front of the coach and whispered:
"Coach, I'm sorry, I'm not interested in the 400 meters."
"Qu Chi"'s mood was revealed in her quiet and dark eyes. Because of Zhou Xinwen's appearance, she didn't even know whether she could persist for 100 meters, let alone a 400 meters that she was not familiar with at all.
But what kind of person is "Qu Chi"? She just can't let go. She doesn't believe she can surpass the genius, but she is unwilling to leave.
It was so difficult for him to follow behind the genius, acting as a sparring partner, and fight for the competition spot left by Zhou Xinwen.
Being ignored, being disregarded, watching others' flowers in full bloom in a dark corner.
She was still struggling and still unwilling to give up.
Even she herself wondered why she had been able to decisively give up figure skating before, but this time she was unwilling to end it gracefully and insisted on making herself a ridiculous character.
Maybe it’s because it wasn’t easy to give up back then... and because of that time I gave up, I dare not be cowardly again.
And then... she got hurt.
Finally, he still couldn't accept his mediocrity. In a competition where he had the best chance of catching up with Zhou Xinwen's result, he was too focused and fell on the track.
The figure sat at the end of the runway, and time seemed to have stopped. The pain was long, long, and even he himself could not explain it.
She retired.
She accepted the arrangement of fate for her and returned to her ordinary life, studying, taking the college entrance examination, and attending an ordinary university.
