197 Extras (13)

◎You are the brightest star.◎

This is a troublesome matter.

We were originally scheduled to return home on the 21st, but due to heavy snow and some people having a fever, we had to postpone our flights.

Local Japanese people have sent people to investigate the source of the fever and conduct serological tests by taking blood from each person with a fever.

Because the Chinese team lived in the mountains, the Japanese asked them to isolate themselves temporarily.

Fortunately, the badminton team was well prepared, and even three team doctors came.

Everyone boiled a bunch of preventive medicine and drank it first.

Zhu Qi stood at the door listening to several team doctors in the room performing various examinations and preventive measures on Song Linzhou.

After the team doctors came out, Zhu Qi followed and asked, "Is his condition serious?"

"I took fever-reducing medicine and prepared some special medicine. I just took my temperature. It's still running, but I'm not dizzy." The team doctor gathered up the bags he had brought out and said to Zhu Qi. "The symptoms don't look like he's been infected. He's not shivering, just sleepy. Anyway, the serum sample has been sent to Japan, so we should have a result tomorrow."

In fact, Zhu Qi also felt that Song Linzhou’s symptoms were not similar.

Although they wore masks when traveling during this period, they still ate and trained when they returned to the lounge. Zhu Qi also had close contact with Song Linzhou. If Song Linzhou was infected, Zhu Qi would definitely not be able to escape.

The team doctor packed up his things and went back.

Although the team doctor said that Song Linzhou had taken medicine, Zhu Qi knew that Song Linzhou had not eaten anything since yesterday. She went to the cafeteria to get a bowl of rice porridge and planned to send it to Song Linzhou.

The entire Japanese courtyard is made of wooden floors. When walking on them, you either have to wear socks or flip-flops provided by the locals.

Zhu Qi listened to the snow falling from the eaves outside. The rustling sound had an unexpected hypnotic effect.

The local weather forecast says it will stop tomorrow, but looking at the signs, there is no sign of it stopping at all.

Standing at the door of Song Linzhou's room, Zhu Qi knocked on the door first, but there was no response from the room.

She thought Song Linzhou was asleep, but she heard a little cough through the door, as if someone was holding it in.

Song Linzhou was definitely not asleep, so Zhu Qi reached out to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened a crack, Zhu Qi heard a slightly hoarse voice coming from inside.

"Don't come in."

"What?" Zhu Qi was startled. Then, realizing Song Linzhou might be worried about infecting her, she continued to pull the door. "It's okay. I'm wearing a mask and I've also taken some Isatis root. I'll bring you a bowl of porridge. You..."

"Put it at the door and I'll get it later." Song Linzhou seemed to be covering his face with the quilt, and his voice sounded particularly muffled.

"The team doctor said that you don't necessarily have SARS. Even if you did, it would have been contagious long ago." When Zhu Qi pulled the door, he felt a force pressing on it from inside.

The two men wrestled with each other, and Zhu Qi pulled hard but failed to move it.

This kid has been lying down for a whole day, hasn't eaten anything, and has been force-fed medicine. How come he still has so much energy?

"That won't work either. You put it at the door and I'll get it myself." Song Linzhou turned his back to the door and stretched out his hand to hold it tightly to prevent Zhu Qi from coming in.

Zhu Qi could only put the porridge on the tatami and push it in through the crack in the door.

"Open the door a little to get some fresh air. Your room smells like medicine, it's terrible." Zhu Qi didn't let Song Linzhou close the door, so that some fresh air from outside could get in.

Japan's climate is really strange.

Although it was snowing, it wasn't cold at all.

Song Linzhou didn't feel cold even though the floor heating was on in his room. He asked, "Has the snow stopped outside? Ahem."

"not yet."

"Then go back. It's very cold."

"Wait until you finish your porridge, and I still have to collect the bowls."

Zhu Qi felt relieved when she heard the rustling sounds and swallowing coming from the room. She sighed, "I know that if I hadn't come, you wouldn't have participated in these two games. If you really were infected... I..."

I will definitely take responsibility!

This somewhat childish sentence suddenly popped up in Zhu Qi's mind.

Song Linzhou's voice sounded hoarse, but he still couldn't help laughing: "That's just bad luck, otherwise why would I be the only one infected among so many people?"

"If you don't come, you will definitely not be infected."

"You're not the type to keep thinking about what might have happened. Things have already happened, so just move on. If I were given another chance to choose, I would come here again."

Zhu Qi leaned against the door, looking at the snow curtain gradually shrinking in the sky, and murmured: "Yes, the past is all in the past."

In her previous life, she died at the age of 35.

What will she do when she is 35 years old in this life?

She must have been very happy on that day.

Of course.

Zhu Qi was just about to ask him if he had finished drinking, but when he turned around, he heard a bang in the room, as if something had fallen.

She didn't care and took advantage of Song Linzhou's inattention to open the Japanese sliding door with a "clatter".

The lights were still on in the room, and in the corner were various fever-reducing and preventive medicines left by the team doctor. The porridge at the door was half-drunk.

Song Linzhou half-knelt in front of the wardrobe, trying to get a coat, worried that Zhu Qi would be cold sitting outside. However, he felt exhausted after a day's sleep and accidentally pulled down the suitcase on top of the wardrobe.

Seeing Zhu Qi leaning over to come in, Song Linzhou covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and called Zhu Qi out in an unclear voice.

Zhu Qi saw that he was in good spirits, even though she had a long memory of SARS in her previous life and she was studying at Jianghuai Technical School at the time, SARS had not spread to Jianghuai Province. In this life, she had not seen any symptoms of SARS because she was quarantined in Incheon.

But she is someone who has experienced the new coronavirus, so she has some understanding of it.

The redness on Song Linzhou's face had dissipated a lot, and there seemed to be a little sweat on his forehead. His eyes also had some spirit and no longer looked sick.

Zhu Qi did not retreat but advanced, wanting to reach out and touch Song Linzhou's forehead.

He reacted quickly, reaching out to grab Zhu Qi's wrist, while continuing to cover his mouth with his right hand: "Get out now..."

"You don't seem to have a fever anymore." Zhu Qi felt that his palm was very strong and he tried to pry it open for a long time but couldn't.

Song Linzhou had been sleeping soundly and didn't know whether he had a fever or not. The team doctor came over and took his temperature again and it seemed that his temperature had dropped a little.

If the fever goes away within one day, it is definitely not SARS.

Zhu Qi's heart suddenly felt relieved.

But we have to wait for tomorrow's test results to know for sure.

Song Linzhou is originally very fair, and his skin is very similar to the pretty boys that are particularly popular in this era, but his low body fat percentage makes him look very thin.

I felt like I lost some muscle mass during the day I was sick, and my eyes became darker.

When I looked at Zhu Qi, I felt so pitiful that I couldn't describe it.

Zhu Qi ignored him and reached out to touch his forehead, feeling a thick layer of thin sweat that was about the same temperature as his palm.

"It seems the fever has really gone down." She was a little surprised and looked around the room. "Where's the thermometer?"

"In the box." Song Linzhou gestured with his eyes.

Zhu Qi saw a medical box placed in the corner, with a mercury thermometer in it. She picked it up and shook it twice in her hand to move the mercury to its original place, then moved to Song Linzhou's side, reached out to lift up his clothes and stuffed the thermometer in.

At this moment, Song Linzhou felt that Zhu Qi seemed to think of him as Qin Xiaoba. His movements were smooth and flowing, and he did not seem awkward at all.

Instead, he hesitated and grabbed the quilt next to him and covered himself with it, wrapping himself tightly with only his eyes exposed.

Good news.

Song Linzhou's body temperature did return to normal.

The second good news.

People in Japan also called to say that none of the people who developed fever that day had SARS.

It is likely that Song Linzhou got caught in the rain in New Delhi and then traveled to Japan, where he encountered the coldest time of the year. He also rode up the mountain for more than an hour on a snowy night, which led to his fever.

Those who also have fever probably suffer from acclimatization problems.

There have been no new cases globally for two weeks.

This virus targeting Asians has temporarily disappeared.

/

Song Linzhou just had a common fever. After this was confirmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The badminton team dared not go out during this period. It’s not that they are timid, but the athletes really need to pay more attention to this virus. Some people have poor resistance and will be more affected if they are infected.

On the second day after his fever subsided, Song Linzhou felt much better and could go out to eat normally.

It would be great if everyone could go back in good health.

After that, I had to look for a suitable flight time and booked a flight for two days later.

The badminton team members were also happy to return home. They performed well in this competition, and won first and second place in two important competitions.

The entire team exudes a joyful atmosphere from top to bottom.

Ever since the final of the Yokohama Peak Battle, Zhu Qi has been receiving a pile of glass bottles filled with wishing stars made of various colorful strips delivered by the staff at the entrance of the B&B.

After opening it, there were various Japanese words inside. I asked the translator and found out that these were all written by Sakura Girl to Song Linzhou.

I wish him a good recovery.

The rainbow paper used to fold the wishing star looks a bit like the one used to wrap candy. When you open it, it smells sweet like candy. After you unwrap it, there will be a short blessing written inside.

There are also some letters addressed to Zhu Qi, most of which praise Zhu Qi's football skills and character, and a small part of them also contain some content about supporting the couple.

[Heaven-chosen mixed doubles [love], you two are a perfect match! ]

Please form more teams and come to Japan to compete! [Flowers]

[Next time we meet, can you give me a double autograph? My name is XXX… I’m a huge fan!]

In the past, Zhu Qi basically didn't read these kind of letters about supporting couples.

Because most of the CP content can be seen from the outside of the envelope, either with the CP name or various photos cut out from newspapers. Sakura is far ahead in the CP support. This era is beginning to show signs of becoming a country of manga, with various book stores everywhere.

Zhu Qi might even open the letters from lesbian couples and take a look, because most of them are about Mao Mao and A Shui, and many of the descriptions are outrageous enough.

But ever since Zhu Qi opened a letter about himself and Zaiyuan Xiang's "holy and devil CP, the collision of fate has formed a deep bond", he was shocked and never opened a letter with CP content again.

In the past two years, Hara has developed very well in the Japanese film and television industry. Although she has not played any leading female roles, many of her guest roles are very outstanding. Perhaps it is because she has her own traffic and has been discussed a lot.

As Zhu Qi played more and more games, his reputation in Japan was also growing.

It wasn't that she disliked Yuan Xiang, but mainly because she was a member of the Bayi team and the other party was Japanese, so she subconsciously felt that they shouldn't be tied up.

The badminton team next door was very envious because only two people from the national table tennis team came this time.

The result was that the number of letters received by their entire team was enough.

It is also because New Year’s Day is coming soon and the new year is about to begin.

Whether it is the badminton team or the table tennis team, they can have a good new year.

We had originally thought that we would just wait patiently on the mountain until we could return home, but the coaching staff told us that they could only book flights for two days later. Since there were no competitions during this period and we couldn't find a place to train, we were "forced" to take a vacation.

The coaches were worried that a group of children would run around and come into close contact with local people, which would lead to problems.

So they were not allowed to go down the mountain.

However, there is not much space for activities in the homestay area, and the group of athletes cannot rest. Although they always complain of being tired and want to rest during training, when they really rest, they feel uncomfortable all over their hands and feet.

Think about it.

Since the coach won't let them go down the mountain.

Then they go hiking!

Originally, Zhu Qi planned to sleep in her room, but the Sunshine Sisters ran into her room and said that they would climb the mountain together in the evening to watch the sunrise and have a picnic on the mountain.

Zhu Qi was a little moved.

I stay at Tiantan East Road every day, and when I go out I follow the main group. I don’t have much time to travel around when I go to compete abroad.

It's so hard to have some time for myself, it would be nice to go out and hike.

Song Linzhou also wants to go.

After recovering from a minor illness, he recovered quite quickly. Except for his voice being a little hoarse, his body temperature was basically stable.

Several people made an appointment and at four in the morning prepared some trekking poles, backpacks and water sources needed along the way, and also prepared a package to contain snacks.

To be honest, the mountain where the B&B is located cannot be called a mountain. It is just a small slope. But fortunately, it is located close to the sea, so the scenery should be very nice if you want to watch the sunrise.

The group reached the top without much effort.

When looking up and down from the slope, you can also see a commercial street at the foot of the mountain.

The Japanese-style lights are brightly lit, and even in the early hours of the morning, you can hear the bustling voices of people.

Many second-hand clothing stores had neon signs hanging outside, and some izakaya touts were holding signs nearby, with some young people who had just come out of the shops arm in arm and making jokes.

This can be considered a characteristic of Japan in this era.

Song Linzhou was wearing a black and gray cotton-padded jacket with a strong wrapping and stretchability, especially since he was very pale and had just been ill, so his face was pale. When he exhaled, mist came out.

"That's Jianghuai over there, right?"

He pointed to a place on the other side of the sea and asked Zhu Qi.

Zhu Qi's sense of direction was not very good, so he had no idea whether what Song Linzhou said was true or not.

What's more, the place where Song Linzhou pointed was just a flat line, and even the buildings opposite could not be seen clearly. One could only see the dawn line that had not yet fully risen.

"Maybe." Zhu Qi said.

"That's Jianghuai." Song Linzhou said with certainty.

That's her hometown.

She has been gone for a long time.

But there is one person who has never been there and always keeps an eye on that place.

Song Linzhou once told her that he really wanted to visit her hometown.

Perhaps before he knew Zhu Qi, he had considered that if he returned to Jianghuai to be with his family after retirement, and therefore had to leave Chaojing - he didn't have to stay in Chaojing.

Zhu Qi turned his back to the east, looking at the country on the other side of the ocean.

I felt a warm feeling on my back, as if a ray of sunshine was spreading all over my body.

"When Los Angeles is over, if you're still in this 'mood,' then come on a personal note."

The morning light flowed along the back of her ears, like a piece of soft silk slowly fluttering.

In personal terms, it means that if he goes, he will not be an athlete from this country, nor anyone else, but the first person of the opposite sex to appear in her house.

The badminton team members were excitedly holding up their cameras, ready to record every moment of the rising sun. They didn't understand why Zhu Qi and Song Linzhou were facing away from the sunrise and looking towards China instead.

None of them noticed that a hand quietly emerged from the sleeve and stuffed a wishing star made of candy wrapper into Zhu Qi's hand.

It's red.

Like a warm rose.

She touched his fingertips, which were covered with a layer of shell-like calluses, which were left by years of gripping the racket and swinging the ball.

His face turned sideways, and a few rays of morning light penetrated the clouds and seeped out from the gaps. They were not very warm but extremely gentle.

But the wishing star was very soft, and when Zhu Qi held it in her hand, it felt like a feather, tickling her palm.

After watching the sunrise, everyone returned to the room. When Zhu Qi opened the wishing star, he saw a sentence inside.

"You are the brightest star."

I have liked you for a long, long, long time.
