Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 88: They are all defeated

In the blink of an eye, the two had arrived at the gate of the Sports College.

The security guard at the door seemed to know Xie Bingran. He pressed the remote control in his hand and opened the electric gate.

Xu Chen followed Xie Bingran and entered the sports college in the same city for the first time.

"The coach also didn't allow me to eat in the cafeteria of No. 1 Middle School, so I have been staying at the Sports College during this period."

Xie Bingran explained further.

Xu Chen said "Oh".

The two walked side by side through the campus of the Sports College. Xu Chen felt curious and looked around.

I ran into several groups of students from the Sports College, and they all knew Xie Bingran and called him "Brother Bing".

Xu Chen couldn't help but joked:

"Brother Bing is also very well-known in the Sports Institute!"

Xie Bingran explained expressionlessly:

"They are all a bunch of defeated generals."

Xu Chen: “…”

Well, Brother Bing is really mighty and domineering.

……

canteen.

Looking around, most of them are children practicing sports in groups. Both boys and girls are strong and sturdy, exuding the scent of hormones.

There are two semi-self-service food lines, offering a wide variety of meat and fish.

"Just take whatever you want." Xie Bingran said.

Xu Chen said "Oh" and then took a plate.

They each picked out some food and went to the checkout counter.

Xie Bingran took out a blue campus card and swiped it on the machine to pay the bill.

The two found a seat with few people and sat down. Xu Chen said half-jokingly:
"Finally I got to eat your meal!"

Xie Bingran smiled:

"I am now on the provincial team, and all my meal expenses at the Sports Institute can be reimbursed."

Xu Chen was somewhat happy. This poor little girl who had not had enough food before would at least not be hungry now.

Xie Bingran lowered his head to eat and said:

"The coach said that when I join the national team, I can receive a subsidy every month, which is equivalent to a salary.

And if you win a place in the competition, you will get a bonus.”

Xu Chen laughed and stuffed a big mouthful of rice into his mouth.

He knew that Xie Bingran said this to him to reassure him.

Xie Bingran took a few bites, perhaps feeling hot, so he unzipped his shirt and took off his black sports jacket.

She was wearing a tight black sports vest with a small national flag printed on it.

Crystal beads of sweat appeared on her neck and collarbone.

Xu Chen looked up and said jokingly:

"You've only been doing physical training for a few days and you've become stronger again!"

Xie Bingran was chewing a meat pie, and suddenly a cold look appeared on his face:
"Do you want to die?!"

……

While the two were eating, several groups of sports students passed by and called out "Brother Bing".

Xie Bingran didn't say anything, but nodded at them.

When we were almost done eating, a tall boy came over.

Half-bent, with a smile on his face:

"Brother Bing..."

Xie Bingran raised his head and glanced at Xu Chen and said:

"This is Wu Di, the one who threatened to slash you."

Xu Chen turned his head and took a look. The boy in front of him was sturdy with long side-parted hair. He didn't know what sport he was practicing.

This person is actually one of Zhao Linlin’s “brothers”.

Xie Bingran and Li Rui were fired before because of Wu Di.

Wu Di showed an embarrassed smile and said:

“Hello, Brother Chen, this is all a misunderstanding.

Besides, I've already been scolded by Brother Bing, so I've learned my lesson!"

Xu Chen didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Brother Bing, I'll step back first!"

Xie Bingran said "hmm", and Wu Di turned and left.

……

When they came out of the cafeteria, it was already dark. The two walked side by side on the campus, and Xie Bingran said nothing.

She was silent for a while, looked at the track in the distance, and said:

"I'm going to go back to the countryside to visit my grandma tomorrow, and then I have to go back to the provincial capital for training with the provincial team.

I will be arranged to participate in one or two competitions later, and then I can join the national team."

Xu Chen: "You say it so easily, other athletes will be jealous to death."

Xie Bingran finally smiled:

"On the track, I'm really... good at it."

She was silent for a while, then whispered:
"Xu Chen, which university are you going to apply to?"

Xu Chen was stunned. Xie Bingran had asked this question before.

Before he could speak, Xie Bingran said:
"There is already a school in the provincial capital that has expressed its willingness to recommend me...but I don't think you will go to the provincial capital to attend university, right?"

Xu Chen said:

“It doesn’t matter where I go to college.

The universities in the provincial capital are not worthy of you!"

In the dim evening, Xie Bingran's eyes flickered:
"So if you've decided where to go to college, tell me in advance."

Xu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely tell you!"

Xie Bingran lowered her head, her short hair falling down, covering her delicate and gloomy eyebrows:

“I’m mainly training hurdles now.

The coach said that the best hurdle coaches are one in Beijing and one in Shanghai..."

Xu Chen looked at the playground under the night sky and whispered:
"Okay, then I'll choose a university in Beijing or Shanghai."

Xie Bingran didn't say anything, she lowered her head slightly...

He smiled secretly again.

……

Xie Bingran only stayed in Tiancheng for a few days and was about to return to the provincial capital to join the provincial team for training.

During these days, she was placed in a guesthouse next to the Sports Institute.

Her dormitory bed at Tiancheng No. 1 Middle School was originally cleared out when she was expelled, but later the school arranged for her to keep it.

But Xie Bingran no longer had the chance to go back and live.

Xu Chen sent Xie Bingran downstairs to the guesthouse, then turned around and said goodbye and left.

Xie Bingran waved his hand grimly, then turned and went up the stairs.

Xu Chen smiled and turned and left.

He walked to the intersection, but heard Xie Bingran calling him from behind.

Xu Chen turned around and saw Xie Bingran still standing at the stairs.

A slightly dim light shone down, outlining Brother Bing's figure.

Under the backlight, her face could not be seen clearly.

"Xu Chen...I will make my indenture more valuable!"

Xu Chen laughed twice.

He raised his arms and gave two thumbs up in the air.

……

……

The day before Qingming Festival, Xu Chen took an extra day off.

Tomorrow they will visit their mother's grave. Xu Chen knows that his father Xu Zhiquan will definitely go to the village to pick acacia flowers.

When Xu Chen was four or five years old, his mother fell ill and passed away. In fact, his impression of her had long been vague.

I only learned from my father that my mother loved to eat dumplings made with locust flowers when she was alive.

So every Qingming Festival, Xu Zhiquan would find ways to find some newly opened locust flowers.

It just so happened that the locust tree forest in my hometown village was producing a patch of pure white and fragrant fruits.

Li Rui went to find two long bamboo poles and tied two folded iron bars on the top.

After tying the bamboo poles to the roof of the van, Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen were driven towards their hometown...

The warm breeze blows on your face and the locust tree fragrance is deep.

The layers of white locust flowers, like clouds falling from the sky, have covered the locust forest with gorgeous and bright new clothes.

Xu Chen held a bamboo pole and knocked down the locust flowers, and some memories of his childhood and youth were also evoked.

It seemed that one year around Qingming Festival, my father made a lot of dumplings with locust flowers.

Xu Chen brought it to school at noon and shared it with his pitiful deskmate Xie Bingran.

She took a bite timidly, then asked:

“Why is it sweet?”
