I almost touched the moon

At seven o'clock the next morning, Wen Song was awakened by the sound of Cheng Che getting up. She turned over and whispered, "Are you going to training so early? It's not even daybreak yet."

"I'm sorry, honey, for waking you up." Cheng Che smiled, sat down beside the bed and kissed her brow, "8 am to 10 pm, there are rules. And I was just notified to go back to the Olympic Village for a doping test."

When Wen Song heard this, he was so angry that he woke up immediately. He sat up from the bed and said, "Are they sick? Didn't they just take the test after the competition yesterday? Song Zilang told me that you have been tested more times than them."

Cheng Che kissed her, hugged Wen Song and coaxed her, "Yesterday's blood test was different. And what does Zilang know? Don't listen to his nonsense. The top three athletes will be required to do two tests within 24 hours after the game. It's normal. I'm not a soft persimmon that can be squeezed by anyone. If it really violated the rules, I would have appealed long ago. Don't be angry."

"I'm glad you feel okay." Wen Song sighed softly, not intending to interfere with his game. He kissed his cheek and said, "Be careful during training. I'll come to you after watching Shu Ning's game."

Cheng Che nodded, tucked Wen Song in again and said, "Go to sleep, my wife has been too tired recently, so take a good rest these few days. It's okay if you don't accompany me for training."

In the afternoon, Wen Song was invited by Wang Shuning to watch the freestyle snows competition. She had won a silver medal in the slopestyle competition the day before, and this time in the freestyle snows, she successfully advanced to the finals with the first place in the qualifying round.

However, not every competition went as planned. In the end, Wang Shuning won the bronze medal with a score of 79.41, while the gold and silver medals went to two athletes from France.

After the game, Wen Song walked up to her, hugged her, handed her the gift and said, "Thank you for your hard work. It's okay. I heard from the commentator that this is the best result in history for Asian athletes."

"Yes." Wang Shuning replied to Wen Song with a smile, not having many regrets, "I tried my best. During the qualifying round, other people might have lowered the difficulty to avoid getting injured. The bronze medal is pretty good, and I have no regrets."

Seeing the luxury paper bag in Wen Song's hand, she quickly declined, "Sister, I won't accept the gift. It's too expensive. After my senior brother finishes the competition, can I go to your house for a few days and you can teach me how to ride a horse?"

"Keep it." Wen Song stuffed the bag into her hand and said with a smile, "I didn't buy this alone. Cheng Che bought it with me, so you must accept it."

Wang Shuning couldn't refuse anymore, so he took the bag and said, "Then I'll take it. Thank you, sister and brother-in-law. Sister, actually my senior brother is also very good at snow skills. Director Xu asked him before if he could participate in this competition, but he disagreed."

"Ah?" Now it was Wen Song's turn to be confused. She said with some dissatisfaction, "He has already participated in the ski cross team relay. In order to prepare for the relay, he even reduced his slopestyle practice time a lot."

"In fact, there's more." Wang Shuning sighed and said, "During the pre-match training this year, Brother Qi Zheng was accidentally injured and could not participate in this Winter Olympics. Director Li of the General Administration even asked Brother Qi if he could participate in the aerial skills team competition... When I heard that, I was a little speechless."

"..."

Wen Song was also a little speechless. He laughed dryly and said, "I'd better not say anything. I'm afraid that if I say it out loud, we won't be friends anymore."

"It's okay, sister. I understand you. You must be worried about your senior brother." Wang Shuning patted Wen Song's shoulder and said, "Senior brother has never practiced aerial skills. It's too dangerous. Director Li can't even ask. Fortunately, Director Xu disagreed and directly helped my senior brother to block it.

Don't worry, sister. Senior is now the leader of our ski team, and the leaders have to follow him. I'll accompany you to watch him train. Zihui sent me a WeChat message saying that she was almost tortured to death by Senior, and you can also liberate them by going. "

When they arrived at the training ground, Wen Song did not see Cheng Che. Wang Shuning tentatively said, "He should be in the lounge. I'll take you there."

As soon as he arrived at the door of the lounge, Wen Song heard a burst of angry Chinese voices, "Do you think that in a four-person race, it's enough for the others to skate fast? Or do you think that even if you fall and fall behind, your teammates will definitely catch up? If you can't even train on time, I will write a report for you now, and you will withdraw from this relay."

"Why are you crying? Is crying any use? Instead of crying, you might as well go to the track and practice a few more times."

"Is this my senior brother?" Wang Shuning said in disbelief, "No way?"

Wen Song was also a little surprised and whispered, "This is the first time I've seen Cheng Che lose his temper. He has never been that angry before."

"I'm not you." Another unconvinced male voice came from the lounge, "We yellow people have no advantage in obstacle pursuit. It's enough for us to enter the finals. Brother Cheng, do you really think we can win a medal?"

"Shut up!" Cheng Che shouted angrily, "If you feel you can't do it, you can quit. I don't like to force anything. I'll call Director Xu and tell him to replace him."

Wang Shuning saw that the situation was getting out of control, so he immediately walked in and said in a loud voice, "What are you arguing about? I heard it all at the door. What's the matter? Why are you arguing here? Chen Zhiyuan, why are you here again? Are you late again? If you are late, you should just say a few words to your senior brother. Why are you talking back? Do you think you are justified in being late?"

Then he said to Cheng Che, "Brother, you too, Zhiyuan is a little excited because it's his first time participating in the Olympics. He's just a kid, so talk to him nicely. Why are you getting mad?"

Seeing that Cheng Che was still furious, she leaned forward and whispered, "Sister Iseylia is here, at the door."

Cheng Che immediately said to Chen Zhiyuan after hearing this: "Go back to training. If you are late again, I will not ask for your opinion and will directly tell Director Xu to ask for a replacement."

Then he walked out, walked to Wen Song, held her hand and said, "Wife, why didn't you tell me you were coming? Did you get scared?"

"No, I'm just a little surprised." Wen Song smiled, "When my grandma and my mom quarrel, they're much more fierce than this. I'm used to it. What's the matter? Why are you so angry?"

Cheng Che sighed, and said with some regret: "Zhiyuan is very talented, and is a rare athlete in China who is good at ski cross. If he works harder, it won't be a problem for him to enter the finals of the individual event. But he has no ambition, always thinking that we can't win a medal, and he refuses to participate in training properly. He is late almost every day. In the morning, he was late for an hour, and in the afternoon, it was even worse, he was late for an hour and a half. I tried to talk to him nicely, but he just gave me a perfunctory response. This is the only way."

Wen Song didn't comment on his words, but just advised quietly: "Don't be too harsh, you'll make him cry. If he doesn't want to win the medal, you can't force him."

"But this is a relay race. If he slacks off, it will drag down the entire team." Cheng Che sighed softly, put his arm around Wen Song's shoulders and asked, "Wouldn't your wife be disappointed when she met a student who didn't work hard?"

"No." Wen Song smiled and shook his head. "My students are either postgraduates or PhD students. They are in their twenties or thirties. Some are even older than me. Why should I care whether they study hard or not? I am not a kindergarten teacher. Anyway, the final result will be reflected in their grades.

Besides, everyone has different ideas. For example, when I was studying for my master's degree, my goal was to go to Oxford for a doctorate, so I had to publish academic results and my average score had to be very high. But there are also many people, like your brother, who just want to graduate and get a degree, and pass is ok. There are also people who may just want experience, so it doesn't matter if they can't graduate.

If they need additional guidance and advice from me, I'm happy to help. But if not, I just need to teach the class and I'll have done my job."

Seeing Cheng Che didn't say anything, Wen Song continued, "There's no need to think so much, and there's no need to put so much pressure and responsibility on yourself. Your goal in participating in the Winter Olympics is to win the championship, but maybe he just wants to have the experience of the Winter Olympics. Just do your own thing, Captain Cheng. Although you are the captain, you don't have to put all the pressure on yourself for freeski results in China."

Cheng Che sighed softly, bent down and kissed her, and said, "Baby, but this is a relay race. If Zhiyuan makes a mistake, it will affect our entire team."

Seeing that Chen Zhiyuan was still in the room, Wen Song lowered his voice and said in German, "But do you have to participate in the relay? You know better than me the overall strength of the Chinese team in obstacle pursuit. When I was a graduate student, I was doing group work. There was a particularly lame Korean exchange student. All of us had to help her check and revise. In the end, she got a high score thanks to us, but our total score was actually on the low side. So I don't understand why you want to participate in this event and delay your own training time. I hate group work the most."

"This isn't a group assignment." Cheng Che rubbed her head and said in German, "Baby, I want to do as much as possible for them before I retire."

"Okay..." Wen Song could only express his understanding and said to him, "As long as you are willing."

Wang Shuning also came out with Chen Zhiyuan at this time, and advised him kindly: "Brother, this is also for your own good. You are so talented. If you work hard, it won't be a problem to enter the finals. Have confidence in yourself. Look at me, your sister. I didn't even win a mushroom medal before, but I won a bronze medal this time."

Cheng Che also smiled at him and said in a softer tone, "I didn't have a good attitude today. I apologize to you. Zhiyuan, you are very talented. Try harder. Don't let yourself have any regrets, and don't let your teammates have any regrets because of you."

"I understand, Brother Cheng." Chen Zhiyuan lowered his head and whispered, "I'm going to train."
