Ren Hong got up early in the morning.
There was no heating in their house - at that time in Biandong, most families did not have heating.
In the past, every morning when she woke up, she would turn on the electric blanket for a while to warm her body, and then reluctantly get up from the bed. But this time, she kicked the quilt away with determination.
She quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face, and didn't even go out to have breakfast at the doorstep - although the school had a restaurant, Ren Hong always felt that the food there was not tasty enough, and she was more accustomed to having an egg omelet and some porridge at her doorstep.
But today, in order to get to school earlier, she didn't eat.
The road condition was not very good. There was always a bit of wind in Biandong in winter. It was still getting dark. Ren Hong pedaled the bicycle hard while fantasizing about how she would show off in front of Wang Yijing later.
She can't get up?
Can’t get up?
Then let her see it!
There were not many people in the school yet, so she calmly found a parking space and parked her car carefully.
She knew that Wang Yijing always ran to and from school, but she felt that she must have arrived earlier today, until she arrived at the playground.
The huge playground has a very empty feeling when there are few people, especially in winter.
The trees beside the playground are bare, and the grass that had been growing tenaciously has also succumbed to the high temperature.
It was still dark, but Wang Yijing was already there.
She was wearing a bright yellow sportswear and was running with a football. As she was far away, Ren Hong couldn't see her specific movements clearly. She just saw her running back and forth in an eight-shaped pattern on the playground where flags were planted, going around a flag on this side and then going back around a flag on the other side.
Ren Hong was startled, bit her lip, and walked over slowly. Wang Yijing saw her pause, then tilted her head.
"I'm here!" Ren Hong raised his head.
Wang Yijing smiled.
"why are you laughing."
"I am happy."
"What are you happy about?"
"Am I not glad that you are here?"
Wang Yijing said it as a matter of course. Ren Hong didn't know what to say for a moment. Wang Yijing smiled again: "Wait for me, I have finished this set."
As she spoke, she started running back and forth with the ball again. This time, as the distance was closer, Ren Hong discovered that her movements were not skillful, and she was a little confused. Wang Yijing ranked third in the country, so why is she still not skilled in dribbling? She didn't know much about football, but this... should be the most basic, right? But she soon discovered that Wang Yijing was dribbling the ball with her left foot.
Left foot!
Ren Hong widened her eyes. At this moment, Wang Yajing finished practicing this set, and Ren Hong asked about her doubts.
Wang Yijing took a sip of water: "Have you heard of the Golden Left Foot?"
"What?"
"A great player must be able to make use of his left foot!"
Ren Hong froze. If she were anywhere else, she would have said "Pooh!", but here she had just seen Wang Yijing's left foot. She could only open her mouth slightly, then quickly closed it, and then was even more puzzled: "Left-handed?"
Wang Yijing was drinking water and almost choked when she heard this. She coughed for a long time before stopping. Seeing Ren Hong glaring at her, she forced herself to hold back her smile.
"why are you laughing!"
"Well, a lot of players are left-footed, but they're not left-handed."
Ren Hong nodded coldly, and Wang Yijing thought for a moment: "Do you want to try it?"
"……What?"
"Playing football is fun." Wang Yijing said, and gently knocked the ball to her. Ren Hong received it and was a little confused. Wang Yijing said, "Kick it over here."
Ren Hong kicked, Wang Yijing ran two steps, and received: "How is it, is it fun?"
Ren Hong curled her lips and said nothing. Wang Yijing kicked the ball over again. Ren Hong received it and kicked it back again. After two or three times, she noticed the difference.
When Wang Yijing kicked the ball to her, she could catch it without moving, but when she kicked it to her, Wang Yijing always had to run two steps!
When Wang Yijing kicked the ball to her again, she didn't move: "You practice."
"What?"
"Don't you want to practice your left foot? Go ahead and practice it."
Wang Yijing glanced at her. There was no expression on her face, but her attitude was firm. Wang Yijing thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go practice first and play with you later."
Ren Hong pursed her lips and said nothing.
In the following time, Wang Yajing practiced and Ren Hong watched from the side. Fortunately, Wang Yajing's training was divided into groups.
She does ten repetitions in a set, and after completing a set, she will take a break. At this time she would drink some water and talk to Ren Hong.
Ren Hong seemed a little awkward, but Wang Yijing didn't care too much. She really didn't expect Ren Hong to come!
Why did she and Ren Hong become good friends in their previous life? We didn’t go to school together after graduating from junior high school, so why would we still look for each other to play?
Because they are similar in many ways!
For example, they are confused about the future, they like to be lazy and hate to work, and they can't stand hardship...
The last time she graduated from high school and Ren Hong started working officially, the two of them planned to do a feat - riding bicycles to the provincial capital.
At that time, the intercity buses between Biandong and the provincial capital were completed. Although they were two cities, if they were placed in a first-tier city, the distance between one district and another might be just that.
Of course, there is still about sixty or seventy kilometers to go, and this is indeed a feat for them.
For this matter, the two of them bought a lot of things and even bought a new set of clothes. But when they were about to go, they backed off when they saw the bright sun.
Wang Yijing's evaluation of herself in the past is that anything that requires hard work requires strong pressure, such as the college entrance examination. Otherwise, she would just be lazy if possible.
This isn't something that requires you to get up early...it's something that requires you not to get up.
She didn't know that Ren Hong was even more shocked at this moment.
Ren Hong knew that Wang Yijing was different than before, but this knowledge was mostly that Wang Yijing no longer played with her and that Wang Yijing had become more promising... She also knew that Wang Yijing was working hard in all aspects, but she had not seen it with her own eyes.
She saw Wang Yajing study hard in junior high school, but her grades didn’t seem to be very outstanding at the time - she made some progress later, but it wasn’t that great.
So Wang Yijing's success seems more like abruptness.
Suddenly, she fell in love with football;
Suddenly, she changed;
Suddenly, she became a celebrity!
Although this celebrity seems a bit like a joke to others, everyone in Tiezhong feels the same way.
In the past, Tiezhong’s football team was pretty good, and many students came here to study just for the football. No matter whether they really came to play football or for other reasons, this was always a factor, and the football atmosphere in the whole school was also quite strong. But now, it’s more than just a comparison! Boys and girls get together and start talking about football!
Ren Hong, a good friend of Wang Yijing in the past, was once asked by her parents: "If Wang Yijing can rank third in the country, why can't you?"
"I don't like football." She said this at the time, and in her heart she had the idea that maybe she could do it, but now, she knows that she can't do it... At least not if she holds on to the past ideas.
"Have you always practiced like this?"
When Wang Yijing was taking another break, Ren Hong spoke up, and Wang Yijing shook her head: "This is not what I practiced earlier."
Ren Hong was startled. Wang Yijing put the water down, picked up the ball, kicked it this way, and then kicked it that way. It was a simple action, but it felt like art. "I practiced this before!"
Ren Hong looked at her in a daze. Wang Yijing made a gesture: "Shake the bull's tail! How is it? Is it 80% of Xiao Luo's strength?"
When she said this, there was a hint of excitement in her voice, because she had completed this task! She had just completed this task two days ago, and then the team started to take a holiday, so this was the first time she had completed a task in front of others. She was shaking the cow's tail and had an expression of "I'm so awesome" on her face. Ren Hong blinked once, then once again, and finally nodded vigorously: "Great."
Wang Yijing was even more excited: "I'll show you something even more amazing."
She stopped the ball and pointed forward: "Do you see that yellow chess piece? It's the second to last one from over there. Look carefully—"
As she spoke, she swung her right leg and the football flew over. Huang Qi fell to the ground. Ren Hong opened her mouth wide. She looked at Wang Yijing, then at the flag, and then at Wang Yijing again. Finally, she couldn't help but scream: "Wang Yijing, you, you are so handsome - teach me! Teach me! Teach me! If you still consider me a friend, teach me ah ah ah ah -"
She shouted and shook Wang Yijing's shoulders. Wang Yijing covered her ears and said, "I'm going to ask Lao Ni!"
Ren Hong looked at her, and Wang Yijing said, "Coach Ni, you can't come if she doesn't agree."
Ren Hong continued to look at her, and Wang Yijing said, "Even if I teach you, you still need a place to practice, and a ball."
"I can buy it myself!" Ren Hong said forcefully, but she also agreed with what she said. She needed a place to practice - she didn't need it, but Wang Yijing did too. Could Wang Yijing really delay her own training in order to teach her? Even if Wang Yijing wanted to do so, she didn't have the nerve to do so.
Wang Yijing found Coach Ni during the break. Coach Ni was a little confused when he saw her. After she told him what happened, Coach Ni smiled and said, "Jingjing, are you using the back door?"
"Huh?"
“Do you know how many people want to join the football team right now?”
Wang Yijing opened her mouth wide and Coach Ni laughed again. In the early days, their women's team was a bit mediocre. After all, they had some achievements, so they were not unpopular. But to be honest, they were not rare either. Here, the main factor is environmental. Although people may be a little surprised to see boys playing football and think it is not a normal path, they also think it is good, especially in recent years when players' salaries have been rising year by year. Some parents even take the initiative to let their children give up their studies to play football.
And what about girls? People generally think that it is not the right path, but it is still possible to go on to further studies, otherwise it would be very minority.
But now it’s completely different, at least in Tiezhong!
Students in the first, second, and even third year of high school all wanted to join the team. When a third-year student came earlier, she was surprised because there were no more competitions now, and if he joined... there was no way to do it.
"I just wanted to give it a try, I thought it was cool!"
Cool, maybe interesting... Of course there are many more who come here for academic advancement, honors, etc., but no matter what, their team is extremely popular now.
It's also because they are still in the rest period, otherwise, even if she was picky, the team might be able to expand by one or two times!
"Your friend... well, apart from anything else, can she hold on?"
"ah?"
Coach Ni looked at her, and Wang Yijing swallowed: "Should?"
Coach Ni continued to look at her, half-smiled, and seeing that she didn't seem really angry, Wang Yijing used the coquettish skills she had practiced for more than 20 years: "Then coach, whether she can do it or not, you have to give her a chance."
Coach Ni smiled and said, "You are still practicing more, right?"
Wang Yijing nodded.
"Then if she can continue to practice with you over the next few days, let her try."
Wang Yijing jumped up and said, "Old Ni, you are the best."
As soon as he finished speaking, Coach Ni knocked him on the head: "You don't want to learn the good things, but just learn some messy things."
Wang Yijing laughed, and Coach Ni said, "Did you hear the bell? Get out of here!"
Wang Yijing ran away quickly. As soon as she ran outside, she almost bumped into Coach Jiang. She said sorry and ran even faster. Coach Jiang shook his head, sighed, turned to Coach Ni and said, "Xiao Ni, your luck... OK, OK, it's not luck, it's what you deserve. You've worked really hard over the years."
Coach Ni didn't say anything. Coach Jiang stepped forward and said, "What? Are you still hiding this from me? Your transfer order is almost ready, right? Do you still have to release explosive news?"
"…It's just a secondment."
"Will you come back?"
Coach Ni didn't say anything, but Coach Jiang smiled and said, "Hurry up and bring me your good tea leaves!"
Coach Ni didn't move, and slowly said two words: "Maybe."
Coach Jiang was startled, and Coach Ni smiled: "Maybe, I will come back."
Coach Jiang froze. He wanted to say, "Are you kidding me?" The state's transfer order, although temporary, has gradually become official for many people. Even if Beijing is a big city and not easy to live in, with such a qualification, there are still relevant departments in the province and city to choose from. What's the point of a school like theirs with a low admission rate and having to save money to go out for competitions?
But he just knew that what Coach Ni said might actually be true!
She did pretty much the same thing!
