embrace you beyond loneliness

Mo Fan knew that Liu Yi was going to catch the early flight the next day, so he didn't want to bother him any more when he thought about the future, holding Liu Yi who was sleeping soundly in his arms, he couldn't help but feel a little empty in his heart, just got the person he loves, it's the time when the glue is like glue , Even competition training has become boring, only when I am with him is I happy.Thinking of this, Mo Fan was frightened by such negative thoughts and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The next day, Mo Fan returned home with his teammates in the afternoon. His relatives and friends had already heard the news of his victory, and everyone was happy for him.This game greatly boosted his confidence. His points are now the highest in the team. Seeing that the World Championships will be in a few months, he declined all the celebrations and went all out. Even Liu Yi disappeared. When I was exhausted from practicing at night, I talked to him on the phone, listened to his voice, and chatted for comfort. Liu Yi laughed that he was in retreat now.

In the blink of an eye, it was June, and Mo Fan's training had reached the sprint stage, and it was time for Liu Yi to return to China.On the day Liu Yi left, Mo Fan took half a day off to see him off at the airport, and Mo Fan's parents were there.Liu Yi and Mo Fan haven't seen each other for a long time, and when they meet again, it's time to say goodbye. They both feel uncomfortable, and want to talk about it in every possible way, but because Mo Fan's parents are at the side, he doesn't know how to put his hands and feet, but he is nervous. There is nothing to say.

When Mo Fan's parents saw it, they understood it more or less. It seemed that they had settled in a foreign country for ten years, and many things were much more open than before.In fact, they saw that Mo Fan still kept Liu Yi's note for so many years, and they already understood the general idea.Now the two of them have a lot to talk about, so they couldn't be bothered, so they found an excuse, sat in the coffee shop, and gave them a chance to talk.

Liu Yi and Mo Fan looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say. They just felt that these two months were like a dream, and they had tasted the sweetness of being vacant for ten years. Now that the person involved is at the airport, when they say goodbye, it seems that they have returned to ten years ago. Years ago, they were all parting, but in the future, one will be in the north and the other will be in the south, returning to the original point.Both of them are asking in their hearts, when will such days end.

It was Mo Fan who spoke first: "This year's World Championships are in Guangzhou, are you coming?"

"That depends on how long you can last." Liu Yi joked: "Don't worry, I will go, you have to last till the end!"

Mo Fan touched the top of his head and smiled: "If you are here, I can do it."

Liu Yi blinked and looked at him, trying to engrave his appearance in his mind: "Sorry, I didn't prepare anything for you this time."

"It's okay, it's good to meet you again. I will fly over to see you often." As he spoke, his eyes were filled with endless regrets, and he sighed: "Oh, I really want to be with you, no Playing ball."

Liu Yi slapped him on the shoulder: "What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking nonsense."

"You remember, don't get hurt, you know? Your hip."

Mo Fan nodded: "I will pay attention, you are going to control me so soon."

Liu Yi rolled his eyes at him: "Then I can also take care of others."

Mo Fan didn't like to hear these words anymore, and he was about to rub his face with his hands, making Liu Yi frowned and babbled.Although they were arguing, the two of them didn't know what to do. They really wished they could stick together every day, and they both wished they could give up their lives and fly to each other's side.

It was only then that the two experienced the pain of a foreign relationship, and they had already missed Liu Yi before he left.I can only comfort myself and say: Fortunately, the World Championships are coming soon, and it is not that they have no chance to meet. In order not to make it too sad, they have to force a smile. They dare not let the other party see their fragility. In fact, they are silent counting the day of reunion.

Before leaving, Liu Yi took off his watch and put it on Mo Fan's wrist, saying: "No matter what step you take, I will support you. I like how you look on the court, whether it is Losing is winning, as long as it is you, your ball is the most beautiful."

Mo Fan suddenly felt like crying. He was always afraid that the two of them would never be together again after parting.Liu Yi's departure has become the strongest motivation for Mo Fan to fight for the World Championships. Even if he can't win, he must lose well. He wants to give Liu Yi the best game. This is the wish of the two of them.

However, Mo Fan's subsequent training was not very smooth. His hip injury has not healed, and now he can't rest. He can only rely on his knees to exert strength, but his knees can't bear all the load. It's only been a few weeks , the knee started to feel wrong, and I asked the team doctor, maybe there is no better way except to block it for the time being. This situation continued until they were about to leave for Guangzhou, and they still didn’t see any improvement. Everything was too late.

Mo Fan always had an ominous premonition at this time, but he didn't dare to think about it any further.

In mid-May, Mo Fan and his teammates finally arrived in Guangzhou. Mo Fan had been here with his parents when he was young. At that time, he heard that Guangdong’s badminton culture was prosperous, so he begged his parents to take him to play during the holidays. At that time, he hadn’t In junior high school, I haven't been to the provincial team yet.Revisiting the old place is a memory of the past.

Liu Yi's life is not too easy. He has only stayed in Singapore for two months, and his situation is very different when he returns to the company.The boss of the company sold his shares, the top management changed hands, and even made different decisions. He gave up the development of artificial intelligence. Liu Yi's position was also in jeopardy. The plan to apply for the laboratory was also rejected. He almost lost his real power. He was stared at by several pairs of eyes, eager to catch his mistakes and omissions.However, in order to watch Mo Fan's game, at the same time he submitted the vacation application, the company's transfer notice was also sent to his mailbox. There was no advance notice, no meeting decision, and everything was against the rules. He was simply beaten. go out.

He had the idea of ​​quitting this company, but he was not that easy to talk to. If he wanted him to leave, he didn't want to do it anymore, but he would not give up any points he should get before leaving.It's just that he is a middle-level manager who owns the shares. The company wanted to take back his shares before letting him go, so they tried every means to find his mistakes. When it comes to the World Championships, fly to Guangzhou as soon as possible, and get some comfort and tenderness from Mo Fan, so as to ease his ups and downs in the workplace during this period.

Both of them wanted to meet sooner, and they both wanted to be comforted sooner, they were counting the days.It seems that the days are only a few days, but they are like years. Every day is spent in thoughts. No matter how many video calls, it seems that it is not enough. It is very difficult. When the day finally comes, it feels that many years have passed.

The weather in Guangzhou was already very hot, and it was sunny one after another. It didn't feel much different from Singapore. Liu Yi brought several clothes, left work behind, and went beautifully.When he landed in Guangzhou, he was afraid of disturbing Mo Fan, so he didn’t look for him. Now, after wandering around in Guangzhou, he found that he was not in a good mood. He went back to his room early and watched TV. It happened to be a special program of the World Championships. All they saw were the main players of the national team warming up during training. Liu Yi watched intently, and finally saw Mo Fan in the corner of the background. Among a group of athletes, he looked black, but he was still tall and strong.

Only then did the corners of his mouth rise.

Liu Yi started watching from the group stage. According to the schedule on the official website, he only bought tickets for the men's singles games.This time, Mo Fan's opponent was a level higher than that of the Australian Grand Prix, and every match was not easy to fight.Mo Fan had won the championship in Australia before, and Liu Yi only found out later that the domestic media was also bombarded at that time, because he was a member of the provincial team but missed the national team. His victory also made the media suspect Guoyu's internal affairs. Whether the talent screening mechanism is scientific.Liu Yi also searched the fan forums and found out that there are quite a few Mo Fan fans, so that in the group stage, if Mo Fan played against non-Chinese, there would be people in twos and threes cheering for him.

Just these few cheers and encouragement made Mo Fan and Liu Yi very happy.

In the few group matches, although Mo Fan encountered setbacks, the overall situation went smoothly. Even if the rankings were not high, at least he qualified. The next stage is the knockout stage, which is the beginning of the real tension.

Liu Yi and him only sent messages after the game, and rarely even called on the phone. Even so, Mo Fan could still find Liu Yi as soon as he looked up. It looks like I understand.

Liu Yi looked at Mo Fan on the field and knew that he was enjoying the happiness and glory that badminton brought him now more than ever. This may be the moment he has been pursuing all along.

But he didn't know that before Mo Fan came to Guangzhou, he had already played closed games, but after the group stage, his knee joints started to hurt again. The pain caused him to rely entirely on mechanical muscle memory, which almost caused him to lose. Lose the game that allowed him to qualify.Immediately after is the knockout round, the opponents will only be stronger, and everyone is active, he must go all out, which also means that he is betting his own sports life, which he knows very well.

In the eight-to-four knockout round, Mo Fan encountered the main player of the national team in the first round. This main player was once the number one player in the world, but now he is getting older and gradually pushed out of the core competition circle. However, the fans in China In my mind, it represents a feeling.Mo Fan has set him as his goal for a long time, he wants to become a player like him, and also wants to play a good game with him.Now his wish has been fulfilled, but it's a pity that neither he nor himself had the best time.

"Australia played well." When the two were warming up before the game, Mo Fan heard him say to himself, his nose was sore, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment, he only knew that the next game must be played at the best level.

At the beginning of the game, Mo Fan didn't try or relax at all. He was too familiar with the opponent's ball, and he knew too well that if he didn't seize the opportunity now, he might be overturned by the opponent in the future.Therefore, Mo Fan played a small climax at the beginning, and the audience around him exclaimed, but Liu Yi was a little hesitant. He knew Mo Fan's injury, and he was not sure whether Mo Fan's hard work would affect his injury.

Facts have proved that Liu Yi's worry is not unreasonable. After exerting force frequently, Mo Fan's knees began to go numb, and he became inflexible in bending and straightening. After the injury, after the break, he was quickly tied.After that, the first game was very stalemate. The scores of the two sides almost rose alternately. At the final 19:18, there was still no clear decision of the winner.But at this time, Mo Fan's knees were getting weaker and weaker, and he began to worry, but the more unstable his mind was, the more mistakes he made in his hands.

Seeing Mo Fan's pale face, Liu Yi already knew that it was not good, so he prayed to get through this match, and then he simply thought, no matter whether he can survive this match or not, it is good for him to get off the court well.

Mo Fan understood that his knee couldn't get any better, and he could no longer borrow strength from his knee when he jumped.The opponent seemed to have seen through his state. Instead, he frequently lobbed the ball to make Mo Fan take off. Mo Fan couldn't kill, and he couldn't jump up. After a few shots, Mo Fan's left leg landed on the last shot The knee was brittle and he lost consciousness. Before he could react, his center of gravity was unstable, and he sat down on the ground. He wanted to use the strength of his right hand to prop himself up, but his knee was completely numb. , Not to mention exerting force, even at least the pain is gone.

The medical staff outside the field rushed up immediately, and the game was suspended.Liu Yi had already stood up, and he wished he could rush down to the stage immediately.He saw the doctor fixing and treating Mo Fan's knee, he saw Mo Fan frowning and explaining his condition to the doctor. Liu Yi had never seen Mo Fan before, and he had never seen Mo Fan so panic-stricken. He looked anxious, he knew the situation was serious.

When the doctor told Mo Fan that their preliminary diagnosis was that the cruciate ligament might be ruptured, Mo Fan's mind went blank and he couldn't say anything. The news shattered him like a bolt from the blue.He pushed the doctor away and murmured, "No, the game is not over yet."

But he was stopped by the coach: "No, your situation does not allow the game."

Mo Fan looked up and saw Liu Yi who was far away behind the coach, his face was full of worry and sadness.He said to the coach, "I don't want to give up, coach."

"Think about it, if your injury is hard, it will affect your recovery in the future." The doctor said.

Mo Fan stopped talking, stubbornly wanted to stand up, but couldn't do it.

"Give up, Mo Fan, you won't win even if you keep fighting," the coach said.

Mo Fan's eyes are red. Now is the most glorious moment in his life. Is he going to end up retiring from the game?Is he going to leave like this?

"You get off the field now, let's treat it well, there may not be no chances in the future, don't get too hot-headed." The coach said again.

Mo Fan glanced at the stands, he saw Liu Yi's body was almost leaning out, he didn't know what Liu Yi was thinking at the moment, would he let himself give up?Or will you persevere?He hoped that Liu Yi would give him an answer, and he saw Liu Yi shaking his head at him from a distance.

He lowered his head in frustration and said, "Retire..." After finishing speaking, the doctor fixed him again, and he fell to the ground numbly as if all his energy had been exhausted.
