Did you apply to Peking University for you to go to Tsinghua University?

In November last year, Lu Chuan suffered a malicious judgment in the National Youth Shooting Championship. He was young and energetic, but because of the malicious judgment, he had a fierce conflict with the referee on the spot. The incident became a bit big, and Lu Chuan was banned for one year. penalty.

For some reason, Lu Chuan simply withdrew from the provincial team due to the suspension.

"What happened in the provincial team at that time? Your dad and I asked you and you didn't tell..." Zhou Yue sighed again, and wanted to continue to persuade, "Tell me what wronged you, your dad and I Always standing behind you."

What wronged me...

Lu Chuan stacked the two stacks of books on the coffee table, leaned back, rested his head on the back of the sofa, and looked at the ceiling.

In fact, strictly speaking, it is not considered wronged.

His first exposure to shooting was purely by chance.Li Guojun is a friend of his uncle. When he was young, he had a reunion dinner at home during the Chinese New Year, and Li Guojun happened to be there. At that time, several adults chatted about shooting. At a young age, he showed great interest in this aspect.Li Guojun cherishes talents, so he immediately said that he would take him to try.

This trial lasted for six or seven years...

He is extremely talented, has a quick brain, has a strong interest in shooting, and is willing to work hard, so in the past six or seven years, he has gone very smoothly from the city team to the provincial team, and has not encountered any setbacks. What a difficulty.

The same is true for competitions. If you basically participate, you will definitely win prizes. No matter which team you are in, the results have always been far ahead of any player on the same team.

In my teenage years, I have never been humble and low-key, some are young and some are wanton, and many times I even have a little bit of arrogance.

But once a person shows his sharpness, he will definitely be envied.

Li Guojun is only half a century old, and in recent years there has been a tendency to gradually withdraw from the provincial team. The officialdom is like a battlefield, and the new coaches and leaders have gradually begun to show obvious or subtle rejection of Li Guojun.

As Li Guojun's most proud and sharpest student, Lu Chuan naturally won't get any benefits in the team.

But as proud as Lu Chuan, he was too lazy to defend and explain, and he was too lazy to please anyone, so he didn't care if he was pushed out, until the malicious judgment in the youth championship a year ago.

The referee who gave him a malicious sentence was named Liu Liwei, who was the father of Liu Yan, who competed with him the most in the team at that time.

Squeeze him out, snub him, whisper to him behind his back, these are nothing, and he doesn't care much, but the grades are not good.

He, Lu Chuan, worked hard and trained hard, and his results were not good.

What's more, this is the best result he has achieved several times since he has been in a trough for more than a year. He is waiting to use this result to regain his previous confidence and to use this result to encourage himself on the road of shooting Go higher and farther.

The cancellation of the results and the punishment of one year's suspension can be regarded as taking him back to the bottom of the valley again.

In the two months after the championship, he was no longer as comfortable in training as before, probably due to a change in his mentality, and he always had more energy than energy.

Many times he feels that he has used all his strength, but there is still no progress.

Young people have the courage to move forward that adults do not have, but they also have the calmness and steadiness that adults do not have.

When he was hit by failure and didn't want to stand up again, the first thing he thought of was to give up.

"Xiao Chuan, why don't you see Coach Li after your final exam?" Zhou Yue thought for a while and found a compromise, "It's not that I have to let you go back to training, but Coach Li is not in good health recently. Always thinking about you, it's always okay to have a meal with him."

Lu Chuan lowered his head, with his right hand palm up.

He lowered his eyes and saw that it was the hand that had been holding the neck of the gun for seven years.

"Let's talk." Lu Chuan lay back again, staring at the retro ceiling on the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chuan sat for a while, and when he realized what he was doing, the phone in his hand was already connected.

"What's the matter?" The phone is still on the hands-free, and a dry and blunt male voice comes from the speaker on the phone.

Lu Chuan let out an "ah" and was slightly stunned. To be honest, he didn't expect that what he unconsciously dialed at this time was Yu Chao's number.

"It's nothing..." Lu Chuan sat up straighter, stretched out his hand to the coffee table, and flipped through the top few textbooks.

Lu Chuan was not in a good mood when he thought about the previous events. He was a little slow to react, and he said things without any emphasis.

He closed the teaching aids, nestled in the sofa, and took a big pillow between his legs: "I miss you, just hit me."

Yu Chao put down the book in his hand and took off his glasses: "Get to the point."

Lu Chuan laughed "haha" twice, then yawned: "I'm telling the truth."

Lu Chuan buried his head in the gap between the pillow and the sofa, his voice was limited by the space, muffled.

Yu Chao on the other end of the phone pursed his lips, took out his glasses and put them on again. He took a pen and began to write the formula under the question that he had just read: "What happened?"

"Huh?" Lu Chuan cut out his voice, and was searching the entry list for the recent national competition on the webpage, "It's nothing."

There are several familiar names in the list representing the Huai'an provincial team, and of course Liu Yan is among these names.

The 50-meter rifle prone shooting project started relatively late in China, and it did not receive enough attention before. In the rifle project, there were more competitions between the 10-meter rifle and the three-position rifle.

He and Liu Yan had the best results in the entire Huai'an provincial team in the 50-meter prone shot event. Now that he has retired from the team, it is only natural that these large-scale competitions must have Liu Yan's name.

"You're not in a good mood."

"What?" Just as Lu Chuan closed the webpage, he didn't expect such a sentence from Yu Chao.

Yu Chao pushed down his glasses and frowned slightly. The angle of the problem he was writing seemed a bit tricky. After writing two strokes of the problem-solving idea he just came up with, he realized that he seemed to have fallen into the trap of the problem.

He took a piece of calculation paper from the table, briefly wrote down the information in the question, and began to think again: "I said, are you in a bad mood?"

Lu Chuan was surprised for a moment - he really did not expect Yu Chao to ask such a question.

Probably to maintain his self-esteem as a boy in the second stage of middle school, so he seldom shows emotions like "sad, sad, not in a good mood". Even if there is something sad sometimes, he always hides it very good.

Just like now.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with the conversation between himself and Yu Chao just now, Yu Chao shouldn't be able to see it.

He and the third brother have been brothers for so many years, and the third child has never been so keen to assert that he is in a bad mood.

"It's okay." Lu Chuan gave a very vague answer after being surprised.

"Yeah." Yu Chao nodded.

In 1 minute, Yu Chao went through the entire knowledge outline of the Physics Olympiad in his mind, trying to find a breakthrough for this question, but unfortunately, this question is very difficult, and he still has no idea for the time being.

If you can't write it out, forget it, change your mind for 2 minutes, maybe you can figure it out as soon as you have a flash of inspiration.

Yu Chao closed the exercises for the Olympiad, and casually picked up an English reading book from the bookshelf, without looking at the exercises, and started reading as if he were reading an idle book.

English needs to be accumulated, vocabulary, language sense, these two things need to read more without exception.

He spends most of his time doing science, so he likes to read some English articles casually when he has a small time block or when he needs to relax his mind.

When Lu Chuan was with him, he was always passionate and energetic.Making fun of people, teasing people, and casually telling jokes, the whole person seems to not care about anything, and there is no bad mood.

But not just now.

Just now Lu Chuan spoke in a daze, there was no reason for it, Yu Chao just felt that he was a little depressed because of something.

Yu Chao suddenly thought of the time when he met Yuan Qian in the cake shop before being hospitalized a few weeks ago, Lu Chuan told him under the streetlight in front of the cake shop to let him say what he wanted to say, no matter what he Lu Chuan would listen carefully .

At the end of an English reading, Yu Chao circled a somewhat uncommon word in the last line, and then he paused,

Yu Chao looked up and put down the pen in his hand.

Yu Chao's voice sounded a little gentler than before: "What's the matter? Let's talk about it."

It is "you can talk and listen" not "tell and listen".

Adding an extra "may" makes the person who is speaking feel respected.

Lu Chuan turned over on the sofa, and wanted to make fun of it, but he couldn't get excited when he opened his mouth.

"It's really something." Lu Chuan said this as a tacit consent.

Before continuing to ask, Lu Chuan explained on his own: "Some things about the shooting team before are all over now."

Yu Chao said "Yes", and after reading the whole article, he took the exercise book just now and started to read it.

Neither of them spoke, but neither hung up the phone first.

Lu Chuan stared at the two stacks of books on the coffee table for a while, grabbed his hair, and asked Yu Chao: "Why do you keep studying, aren't you tired? What drives you to keep studying?"

A few years ago, when he was in the city team, his training intensity was very high. There were no winter and summer vacations, and almost no weekends. During training, he raised his gun and repeated the same action hundreds of times a day, which was boring.Many children who started training with ambitions gave up in the end.

Because I have no talent, because I am too tired, because I can't take care of my studies at the same time.

There are many reasons, and very few people can really stick to it.

Lu Chuan has been able to go so far... because of his true love, and also because of the precious pride of a young man.

Passionate, hardworking, hoping to stand on the highest podium one day, the desire for awards and achievements has brought Lu Chuan to the present step by step.

And in the same way, giving up shooting half a year ago was also because there was no hope in sight.

Rather than leaving the team because of that malicious judgment and the team's ostracism and indifference, it is better to say that I left the team because I lost confidence in myself.

He is Lu Chuan, how could he give up what he loves the most because of what other people did, the only one who can make him give up is himself.

Since joining the provincial team for more than a year, he has entered a low period.

For more than a year, it was still day after day, even training harder than before, but the results have been stagnant, sometimes not as good as before.

Frustration is never the only thing that can hit people, but also despair.

Lu Chuan reached out and rubbed the cover of the book on the coffee table with his thumb.

He persisted for seven years because of his love, and gave up his former love because of despair. What about Yu Chao?He really wanted to know why Yu Chao, who can get rid of all entertainment activities and spend all his time studying efficiently, has persisted until now?

"What's your reason?" Lu Chuan asked again as he scratched the smooth cover of Jiaofu with his thumb.

Yu Chao put down his pen, and unconsciously tapped the switch of the wall lamp twice.

Why……

He actually thought about this question too.

In the beginning, it was because he had no friends, no family members, and he was the only one with the vivid word "biology" in his life, so he should put all his energy on himself as a matter of course.

And he seems to have nothing to do, he can only follow the trajectory of life and do what everyone thinks he should do-study.

Later... Later, I grew up a little bit. As an outstanding student representative, I met many more outstanding people. I participated in various competitions and met many students who were very good in all aspects. Then I suddenly understood a truth.

There is a long way to go in life, even if his life is destined to be a one-man show, he still hopes that his person is shining, shining at the youngest and most wanton age.

In fact, he sometimes feels that he has learned so much about mathematics, chemistry, and exam-oriented education, and it will be useless if he does not engage in this field in the future.But... After all, only by doing a good job in the matter at hand, making yourself more capable, and more capable, will you have more choices in life.

Only with high scores can we have the right to choose schools and majors, and only with ability can we have the privilege not to be embarrassed at any time.

"You have lived for decades, but you can't die. If you have to live..." Yu Chao pursed his lips, and said his thoughts in a quiet night voice, "That person should always be better, and his life is worth living."

Yu Chao seldom spoke so long. The calm male voice flowed out from the loudspeaker, and fell lightly but heavily on the wooden floor of the study in front of Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan was a little dazed for a moment, he turned over again, and lay flat on the sofa with a pillow in his arms. The chandelier on the ceiling was made of black hollow brackets in order to match the simple design of the study.

"Then what if you persist in what you want to do for a long time and fail to get results?" Lu Chuan asked in a muffled voice.

Yu Chao's voice was very steady: "That's okay, Coca-Cola only sold 25 bottles in the first year."

Yu Chao took off the metal frame on the bridge of his nose, and he suddenly remembered that in junior high school a long time ago, it was raining and it was impossible to go to PE class. The PE teacher made an exception and showed them a movie in class. It was a Japanese novel adapted from a novel The movie is called "Non-stop Walking".

The study room is very quiet, and Yu Chao's voice from the mobile phone loudspeaker is very calm, every word of his is very clear and loud.

Lu Chuan heard Yu Chao tell him very seriously——

"I remember a sentence in that movie very clearly."

"It said 'you're only 25, you can be whoever you want to be'."

"Lu Chuan, you are not yet 17."

The author has something to say:

Lu Chuan: Damn, this warm and powerful man is so damn charming
