MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 5 Chess match

Jian Chang wanted to see the timing, and made another smash. The force was so great that the badminton hit the racket with a loud bang.

Sun Qian flew to rescue her, but her feet slipped and she fell to the ground with her pat on her back, her chin hitting the floor heavily.

The white shuttlecock landed beside her.

20:0

Is it necessary to continue this game?

The referee opened his mouth and was about to announce the end of the game.

A figure walked past Cheng Zhen, raised his hand, took off his peaked cap and put it on his own head: "Lend me the cap."

Xie Shi'an quickly walked to the center of the field and helped him up from the ground. Cheng Zhen also reacted and quickly followed.

"Sun Qian, are you okay?"

Sun Qian looked like she was on the verge of falling, and she couldn't even stand firmly, she muttered: "No...it's okay, I can still fight."

Xie Shi'an took the racket from her hand and twirled it around with her fingertips. Although it was a bit light, it was barely usable.

"The next game, I will play for her."

Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was killed in the middle of the game that was about to win, Zhou Mu became anxious and ran up.

"Who are you, why are you fighting for her?"

Xie Shi'an just raised his eyelids lazily: "My name is Xie Shi'an, a member of the badminton school team of Jiangbei No. 2 Middle School."

"You're from the No. 2 High School Team, so why haven't I seen you before..." Zhou Mu looked suspiciously at her.

"I dropped out of school in the first year of high school. You haven't seen me. It's normal. Anyway, it's just one ball. If you win, you will earn money. If you lose, you won't lose money. Moreover, she is so injured that she can't even stand upright. Can't play anymore, can you, referee?"

At this time, some students from Jiangbei No. 2 Middle School recognized her and gathered around her.

"Sister! It's Senior Xie! She's back!"

"Senior sister will definitely win!"

The referee scratched his head: "This..."

Cheng Zhen chimed in and winked.

"Referee, referee, say something!"

It is said that it is a professional match referee, but in fact, I am afraid that it is a half-assed member of some club, and this referee may not know anyone, but he will definitely sell him because of Cheng Zhen's father.

"Uh... this matter has to be agreed by both parties."

As soon as these words came out, the people in Jiangbei No. 2 Middle School looked at each other, with joy in their eyes.

On the other hand, in the south of the city, although there were some who wanted to stand up for Jian Changnian, they were all held back by Li Jiajia.

"Hey, don't go, it's not our team anyway, just watch it for fun."

Only Zhou Mu trembled angrily: "You...you bully people!"

"Bullying?" Xie Shi'an frowned slightly.

"Do you dare to say that knowing that the opponent is weak, but frequently throwing some tricky angles before the net is not bullying?"

Because of saving the ball, Sun Qian's skin on her knees and elbows had abrasions to varying degrees.

Zhou Mu glanced at Jian Changnian with a guilty conscience, still poised his neck and said: "Then...that's because she has poor skills and no ability, so she can't blame others!"

Xie Shi'an let out a long "Oh", and his eyes fell on Jian Changnian who was silent at the side, thoughtfully.

"That's right. I don't blame anyone for being inferior to others. It's just that I have some friends in the Chengnan school team, but I never knew when there was such a number one person in the team."

Jian Changnian swallowed, and clenched the racket in his hand.

Compared to pretending to be someone else, the sum of all the fouls on the field today is not as big as this one. If they are found out, their results may be cancelled. After all, it can be seen that the referee is obviously on their side.

Zhou Mu wanted to say something, but was stopped by someone.

Jian Changnian shook her head, signaling her to stop talking.

This person looks calm and indifferent, but in fact, she has a needle in her mouth, she can tell right from wrong, and hit their vital points with a few words, and she is also very familiar with the Chengnan No. 1 High School team, and there is room for maneuver just now, and now she does not agree to continue the game It doesn't work either.

Seeing their hesitant expressions, Xie Shi'an's lips curled up with a smile of determination.

She picked up the racket and pointed to the first two.

"How about this, lest people say that I bully newcomers, you two go together, if you win, I will pay another bonus."

As soon as the words came out, there was an uproar in the venue.

"No way, two against one, this man has a crazy tone."

"I think she seems to have some real skills. She is in danger at Chengnan No. 1 Middle School."

"Hey, do you think the ones in the south of the city dare to pick it up? It's two against one, isn't it just as long as you have hands?"

Zhou Mu also held his friend's arm tightly, muttering in a low voice: "Chang Nian, is this person out of his mind? No matter how good his skills are, if we play two against one, we are only one goal away from winning."

Xie Shi'an raised her head slightly, and looked at Jian Changnian who was facing her. Her future strong opponent was just a little beast with fledgling wings and fangs not yet fully grown.

"How about it, just one ball, do you dare to take this challenge?"

A good match turned into a ring.

Jian Changnian gritted her teeth slightly, whether she answered or not.

The difference of one point seems to be giving way to her. In fact, it is the same as when she asked Zhou Mu to step down and face Sun Qian one-on-one.

But is this person really so arrogant?

You must know that as long as she loses one goal, she will lose the whole game, and if she wants to win, she must score 22 points in a row.

Jian Changnian has confidence in himself, and Zhou Mu can be regarded as an upper-middle level in the school team. What's more, the two of them have played together since they were young, and the tacit understanding is extraordinary.

During the few seconds of silence between each other, there were whispers around.

"What's the matter, wasn't it still very powerful just now?"

"This will scare me so much that I dare not speak."

"Isn't it just a ball? What are you talking about, play with her!"

Listening to the voices around her, Zhou Mu's face turned blue and white, and her eyes passed over these people one by one, and fell on Sun Qian's face, her chest heaved violently, as if she was enduring something.

Seeing this, Sun Qian wiped away her tears, and hid behind Cheng Zhen.

Zhou Muwu turned his eyes back, tugged at the corner of Jian Changnian's clothes, and said softly.

"Chang Nian, let's fight her."

Zhou Mu has been the king of children in the village since she was a child. She led the team to climb trees to catch fish and shrimps. .

Jian Changnian was taken aback, the two looked at each other, nodded, clenched the racket in their hands, and responded to Xie Shi'an's challenge with their heads held high.

"bring it on."

Now that it has been finalized, the people around have made room for them in a tacit understanding, and gathered around the sidelines to watch the fun.

Both sides switch sides to serve.

Zhou Mu and Jian Changnian clapped their hands crisply as they passed by.

"come on!"

"come on."

Seeing that they were so grand, and they were able to win her confidence in one go, Xie Shi'an gently pulled the corner of his lips and sneered.

"It seems like you will win if you do such a serious thing."

"You..." Zhou Mu choked, "It's none of your business, whether you can serve or not!"

"Sent, of course it will be sent."

Xie Shi'an slowly raised her right hand, and just as the referee was about to say the start of the game, she put it down again.

"Referee, wait a minute."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xie Shi'an chewed gum, took out the MP3 from his pocket, plugged in the headphone cable, put it in his ear, turned the volume to the maximum, and then shoveled the badminton from the ground.

"let's start."

The referee was stunned by her series of actions, and it took him a long time to recover and shouted.

Zhou Mu's lungs are about to explode, and there is such a badminton player? To make it clear is to look down on them, and I have to show her some color in a while.

She thought so in her heart, but her eyes were fixed on the opponent's hand movement, and her body slid out subconsciously.

Looking at her starting posture, it's just a simple forehand serve, but Jian Changnian's mind is full of alarm bells, no good, fake moves!

It seems to be a straight line, but it actually hooks a tricky diagonal.

It was too late to say it, and by the time she realized it, it was too late, and the white feathers touched Zhou Mu's racket and fell to the ground.

The scoreboard turns a page.

1:20

Zhou Mu seemed a little unconvinced, and gritted his teeth: "Come again."

Jian Changnian took a step forward, put on a defensive posture, turned her head slightly, and whispered.

"I'll be the main attacker, you should be careful to defend the second half."

"Yo, changed tactics, but—does it work?"

The moment her words landed, people moved.

The instant explosive force caused the badminton to hit the racket with a loud bang.

Jian Changnian quickly returned to defense, caught the ball, and picked it back for her.

The corners of Xie Shi'an's lips curled slightly, as if he had expected her to do this a long time ago, and his backhand was a big slash.

Zhou Mu flew to save it, but it was too late, the ball just landed inside the bounds.

The scoreboard turned another page.

2:20

"I didn't expect to come to see my old classmates today and see such a wonderful game. Your Jiangcheng City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Yan Xinyuan poked his friend's arm, with a face full of excitement of eating melons and watching a show, he almost got a bench and put a plate of melon seeds on his face, and it was all done.

"Go, go, go," Song Wei rolled his eyes in disgust: "Don't tell me you didn't see that the strength of the later one was far higher than that of Chengnan two? Those two **** are at least professional level."

Yan Xinyuan looked thoughtfully at Xie Shi'an in the field.

The young man flitted around on the field, or slid or turned around, or served or smashed, his racket posture was elegant and beautiful, but his offensive was fierce and chilling. For some reason, Yan Xinyuan thought of the ancient times when he killed a person in ten steps, and he would not stay behind for thousands of miles. swordsman.

The boiling arena gradually quieted down, and everyone watched their game with bated breath. Xie Shi'an was born with a temperament that controlled the whole court. Her offense was steady and her defense was impeccable. They all made a bang bang, shocking sound, at this moment, she is the well-deserved king on the field!

For some reason, Yan Xinyuan had a feeling that the strength displayed by this girl was only the tip of the iceberg.

In the short few minutes they chatted, Xie Shi'an made a quick break and scored a quick kill, scoring ten points in one breath, and the score came to 14:20.

Song Wei frowned: "I don't know why, I always feel that she looks familiar, and I can't see her face clearly even with a hat on, but I always feel that I have seen it somewhere, and ordinary people can't perform this operation."

The more Yan Xinyuan looked at the brighter his eyes, he had already developed a love for talents, and he was eager to try: "Can't you see it? You have such a level in your teens. This is a boy's skill! I just don't know which team it is from." Yes, but no matter which team I'm in, I want to bring people over. The momentum, the level, the reaction speed, the observation ability and even the ability to predict are all first-class. In my hands, every two or three years, There must be room for improvement, and it will not be difficult to win an Olympic champion by then! Putting it in the hands of others, it would be a waste of money!"

He was babbling here, talking to himself, and his friends replied to him while watching the game.

"Hey, this is still Yan Lao selling melons, and I am boasting about it. Good shot! Look! The girl in the gray dress who was hit by more than ten points finally took the opportunity to catch the ball and hit it immediately. , Pushing a straight line to press the opponent's head, this is a good opportunity, whether they can score a point in one go depends on their cooperation!"

"Hey, you're so talkative, it's a pity not to be a game commentator."

That is, as soon as Yan Xinyuan's voice fell, Xie Shi'an defended this wave of offensive, and directly attacked the Internet with a forehand, commonly known as "slapping the face", which is a test of instant explosive power.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Shi'an roared towards him with his racket, and Jian Changnian could even feel her hair lifting up her hair.

The two had a face-to-face meeting in front of the net.

The badminton hits the ground.

The corners of Xie Shi'an's lips curled slightly: "I'm sorry, I won again."

15:20

Zhou Mu was already out of breath from exhaustion. She really couldn't keep up with the speed of these two people. Most of the second half was served by Jian Changnian. Even so, she was choked up, and sweat dripped down her temples .

Not to mention Jian Changnian from the beginning to the present, the back of his clothes was completely wet with sweat, and he stopped in front of the net to breathe heavily.

The person on the opposite side was obviously exhausted.

Xie Shi'an twirled his racket back and forth on his fingertips.

"Is it necessary to play a game without suspense?"

Jian Changnian swallowed, tried to calm her breathing, and nodded firmly.

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will continue to fight."

"Actually, your level is pretty good in amateurs, but it's a pity—"

Met her.

Xie Shi'an doesn't want to procrastinate any longer, she wants to make a quick decision, playing this kind of boring game is a waste of time and life.

"Here it comes! She served the ball! The girl in the gray clothes actually defended the ball, not bad!"

Yan Xinyuan snorted coldly, and said coolly: "Didn't you see it? That's deliberately selling a flaw to the opponent."

Sure enough, Jian Changnian caught the gap in her right half of the defense, and slammed it with a backhand.

"She grabs the opponent's right half, but people are staring at her backhand."

Xie Shi'an's move can be said to be one step at a time and three steps at a time. First, he used Jian Changnian's attack to hook her diagonally, and then quickly pushed her to the Internet, directly blocking her turning around.

Jian Changnian didn't even have time to return to the defense, and the consequence of forcibly turning around to catch the ball was that he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The badminton landed beside her.

There was silence, and then a burst of cheers broke out.

The score has come to 20:20

The referee swallowed and rubbed his eyes again. He must have read it right. The huge advantage of winning the whole game by only one point was unexpectedly tied by someone all the way!

That is, the ball landed.

Yan Xinyuan's friend slapped his thigh suddenly: "Hey, I said earlier that she looks familiar, if it wasn't for her 'backhand' move, I really wouldn't have recognized who it was! So it was her!"

Yan Xinyuan frowned. At this moment, his curiosity came up, and he hated people half-talking the most.

"Hey, who the **** is it, tell me quickly!"

"Her name is Xie Shi'an. She is a member of Binhai Badminton Team. She has been playing badminton since she was five years old. When she was six years old, she won the championship of the city's children's badminton competition. She was the youngest among all the players. In that game I I was a referee on the spot, and I was deeply impressed by this young child who has a very sharp style of play. She started playing professionally at the age of eleven, and has passed all the way. From the Jiangcheng team to the provincial team, her results are very good. She and her partner won the silver medal in the women's doubles in the national competition."

When it comes to the national competition, Yan Xinyuan seems to have a little impression: "Is it the dark horse that defeated the champion of the last national competition?"

"Yes, it was a big upset at the time."

Yan Xinyuan frowned: "It's not right. It stands to reason that she is so young and has good grades. She could have entered the national youth team long ago. Why haven't I seen her in the national team for so many years?"

Song Wei shrugged: "Then I don't know. This kid is quite low-key in the industry. He doesn't show up to play games. I've heard it all. He hasn't had much contact with people."

There must be no time to take protective measures when she lost her balance and fell, Jian Changnian stared at her for a while, and couldn't get up for a long time.

Zhou Mu hurried over to help the person: "Chang Nian, Chang Nian, it's okay."

With Zhou Mu's help, Jian Changnian sat up, took away the hand covering his arm, saw that there was blood between his fingers, and immediately hissed softly.

"No...it's okay..."

Zhou Mu looked at her injury, and his eyes were red: "How can this be nothing! The elbow is swollen, the skin is torn, and there is so much blood, no more beatings, no more beatings, let's abstain!"

"No!" She was the one who hesitated at first, but now Jian Changnian became firm.

She glanced at Xie Shi'an who was resting on the opposite side, and gritted her teeth.

"Is there any paper? It's okay to lose... you can lose the game, but you can't lose people."

Zhou Mu knew that she had this personality. Once she made a decision, ten cows would not be able to pull her back, so she took out a tissue from her pocket to cover her wound while cursing.

"Stubborn stubborn! You can forget about being stubborn!"

After a brief treatment of the wound, regardless of whether it was still bleeding, Jian Changnian helped Zhou Mu to stand up slowly.

"Yo, this is still going on." Song Wei raised his eyebrows in surprise: "It's already at this level, it's not necessary."

"I think, at a young age, when facing a strong enemy, don't be weak, don't shrink back, even if you can't fight, you have to do your best. The future is promising." Yan Xinyuan sighed.

"It's true to say that, but you still have to know the trade-offs in life. A healthy body is the biggest capital. That girl in the gray clothes is already very good at fighting. After a few more years of practice, she might be able to compete with Xie Shi." The hits come and go, so there is no need to fight for this moment."

"What do you know? It's a match against an opponent. It's more difficult to find a good opponent than a lover."

Yan Xinyuan could see it, and Xie Shi'an could see it too. Jian Changnian is a player with great potential. Her determination, her perseverance, and every attack she makes are looking for her flaws, even if she falls. Her body was covered in cuts and bruises, and she wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from her body.

Such an opponent is admirable, but also chilling.

It's just that Xie Shi'an never thought that she would plant a seed in Jian Changnian's heart, a seed called dream.

She became the goal she wanted to chase all her life. This seed gradually took root and sprouted over a long period of time, and finally became indestructible.

The trajectory of fate had quietly changed the moment she challenged Jian Changnian.

Zhou Mu felt that if the fight continued, she would die.

Obviously she and Chang Nian have tried their best, Xie Shi'an seems to have an impenetrable net in front of her, no matter what angle the ball hits, she can catch it and hit it back.

The opponent was able to do a job with ease, but she and Chang Nian were exhausted, and had to put their hands on their knees and pant heavily after the ball landed.

The score has come to 21:20

tiebreaker.

Jian Changnian glanced at the scoreboard, as if he had made a major decision, and when he changed positions with Zhou Mu, the two of them looked at each other.

She pursed her lips and made a mouth shape.

Zhou Mu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded heavily.

Their petty movements did not escape Xie Shi'an's eyes. A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she raised her racket high.

"it's over."

The white feathers flew over like a meteor.

Jian Changnian roared, "Zhou Mu!"

"Okay!" Zhou Mu swung his racket and rushed forward, killing the ball back in front of the net.

During this process, Jian Changnian's eyes never left Xie Shi'an, and at the same time, her mind was thinking quickly.

She has been observing her since she fought with Xie Shi'an. According to her habit, the next step should be to hook up with them, find flaws, and kill them with one blow.

Xie Shi'an was like a dagger hidden in the dark.

Dangerous, sharp, cunning and aggressive.

Her skills don't have any weaknesses, but she has a fatal weakness, and it can't be said to be a weakness. After all, arrogance is a common problem of every master.

Xie Shi'an is no exception.

After seeing through this point, Jian Changnian cheered up and endured the severe pain in her right hand to catch the ball. Because of the force returned by the racket, she fell back and fell to the ground.

Jian Changnian didn't catch the ball very well, it was soft, and it felt like it was going to fall down at any moment while flying in the air.

Cheng Zhen had already whistled outside the court and started to celebrate.

"Shi'an, as expected of you!!"

Even a layman can see that the ball can't get over the net.

So Xie Shi'an just put on a defensive posture and didn't move.

However, at the next moment, she frowned, and was about to rush to save the ball, but it was too late, after all, it was a second too late, the badminton brushed the net, landed on her racket, and bounced to the ground.

Sitting on the ground, Jian Changnian raised her head, even though her body was covered with scars, she still smiled brightly.

"Anyway, I still won by one point."

Zhou Mu also rushed over and raised his hand to abstain.

"Referee, don't fight, we admit defeat."

Xie Shi'an froze in place, gradually pursing his lower lip.

Obviously she should be happy when she won, but she couldn't be happy seeing the other party's bright smile.

In Xie Shi'an's vision, she should have won an overwhelming victory in this game, but in the last ball, she did not lose to others, but to herself, and what does it mean to abstain at the end? Who are you trying to show to!

Even if it's just a ball that must win, she doesn't need others to give it to her!

She wants to win with dignity!

Xie Shi'an shook his racket and pointed it at them.

"There is one last ball, get up and keep playing."

Zhou Mu helped the man up and left, muttering: "Who wants to continue fighting with you, didn't you see that you were injured like this?"

"you-"

The young man was arrogant and was about to catch up, but Cheng Zhen who was outside the court ran over to persuade her.

"Shi'an, Shi'an, forget it, we've all won, look at them like that, they definitely can't beat you."

"What is this?!" Xie Shi'an popped out four words from between his teeth, and now he felt like he had punched the cotton with a fist, and there was no way to get angry.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Jian Changnian turned around, walked slowly with Zhou Mu's support, and stretched out his uninjured hand to Xie Shi'an.

"You are very strong. Although I lost, I had a great time playing this game. Thank you."

Qiao Yuchu also followed, wrapped his arms around Xie Shi'an's shoulders, and shook it gently with a little reassurance.

"Okay, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, huh?"

Since she was a child, only Qiao Yuchu could persuade her. Xie Shi'an's shoulders slowly relaxed, he put down the racket in his hand, pressed his lips together, and reluctantly touched the other party with his fingertips. Withdrew his hand.

Cheng Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, today's incident happened because of him, and he felt a little sorry.

"How about this, I'll treat you to supper, barbecue hot pot or stir-fry, you can choose whatever you want, and you can eat whatever you want."

"It's fake to invite us to dinner, but it's true to date an elementary school girl."

Xie Shi'an gave him a blank look, took the towel in his hand to wipe off his sweat, and said coolly.

Jian Changnian smiled and gave Zhou Mu a hand.

"Let's go."

Cheng Zhen's voice came from behind.

"Hey, am I that kind of guy?"

Qiao Yuchu and Xie Shi'an nodded together.

"You are."

When Jian Changnian was leaving, she passed the podium. There were prizes, two medals and a certificate on the table next to her. There was a trace of nostalgia in her eyes, and her fingers lightly slid across the medals, which were fleeting.

Cheng Zhen's elementary school girl, Sun Qian, happily received the bonus and smiled shyly.

"I really trouble you today, thank you Senior Cheng, thank you senior sisters, I... I would like to treat you to a meal, can I?"

Cheng Zhen had long been reluctant to leave, he just scratched his head and giggled.

"But... yes, no, no, I'll treat you to eat."

Qiao Yuchu and Xie Shi'an looked at each other, feeling a little helpless, but the matter has come to an end, so let's go down the slope.

"After fighting for so long, I happened to be a little hungry, let's go."

Before leaving, Xie Shi'an glanced back, and Zhou Mu helped Jian Changnian out of the gymnasium.

Her mind went back to the bright smile she had just won.

Xie Shi'an's heart moved, and he tugged on Cheng Zhen's sleeve.

"Hey, Orange Juice, I don't think she's from the No. 1 squadron. Please help me find out what her name is."
