[Han Zhang] One thought

25.

When the end of the new year was approaching, Tyranny's manager came forward as the host and ordered Han Wenqing and Zhang Xinjie to attend.After they rushed to the scene in a daze, they found out that the manager had summoned Li Yibo, Ji Leng, and Meng Chao all over.

Also present here was Coach Yang from the youth training camp, who waved excitedly when he saw Zhang Xinjie. Although he had retired from the youth training camp for many years, Zhang Xinjie recognized him at a glance—it seemed that he had gained more than a circle of weight , but the face is still the same, but the cheeks are a little rounder.After retiring, Coach Yang seems to have relaxed a lot, and he is full of cheerfulness, which is completely different from the strict teacher in the youth training camp.

Ji Leng had also entered the middle-aged stage of gaining weight. As soon as he saw Han Wenqing, he put his arms around his neck and patted him on the shoulder vigorously, as if he wanted to slap him to pieces; Meng Chao's face was already blurred in Zhang Xinjie's memory. By Coach Yang's side, Zhang Xinjie almost couldn't remember who this person was; Li Yibo was the one who maintained the best condition among the few. At this time, he had already become a "senior commentator" and often had to appear on TV. Showing his face on the screen, he had to frequent the gym for this reason, carefully maintaining a decent figure.

But Ji Leng and Meng Chao firmly insisted that Han Wenqing was the one who had remained unchanged for more than ten years.

"Old Han, why don't you grow old? Sitting here now, I feel as if I have time-traveled, as if you were still the team leader back then..."

"Old Han is only in his 30s." Coach Yang stroked his chin with a thoughtful look on his face. "We always call him Old Han, and call him old. In fact, he is Xiao Han compared to us."

"My name is Xiao Han, he's going to turn his back on him," Ji Leng pouted in Han Wenqing's direction, "Old Wei used to tease him with this, and he was sure."

Han Wenqing sat motionless with his arms folded, and he didn't seem to mind Ji Leng's "black history".At this time, Meng Chao pointed at Zhang Xinjie abruptly: "Xiao Zhang has changed a lot."

Zhang Xinjie was taken aback when he heard the words. He didn't expect that it was Meng Chao who mentioned him first—he suddenly realized that Meng Chao was also observing his "successor" in the first place, even though they didn't have much direct contact with each other.

"Yeah," Coach Yang took the initiative to take over the conversation, "Xiao Zhang has matured, and his aura has also come out. He was quite...cute in the youth training camp."

The word "cute" stunned Zhang Xinjie, Han Wenqing was also taken aback, and Ji Leng laughed out loud.

"Don't tell me," Li Yibo nudged Ji Leng, who was shaking with laughter on the table, "Xiao Zhang back then was quite cute."

"And it's 'dumb' cute."

"Am I not cute now?" Zhang Xinjie made a rare joke.

Before the words came out, Ji Leng laughed so hard that Li Yibo also thumped the table and laughed loudly. Meng Chao covered his face, laughing until his shoulders were shaking. Coach Yang patted Meng Chao's shoulder with one hand and his chest with the other, and sighed: "It's terrible, Xiao Zhang has learned how to joke..."

It was Han Wenqing who didn't laugh at the table. He watched Zhang Xinjie calmly teasing with the table, his mind full of chaotic thoughts of "time flies by".

He gets along with Zhang Xinjie day and night, but he is not sensitive to "changes". After being reminded by his old teammates, he can't help but "observe" Zhang Xinjie—his appearance has not changed much, his hairstyle has been the same for more than ten years, and even his glasses It's still the same frame as before, but the temperament and aura have really changed - more calm and sharper.

It wasn't quite appropriate to say "cute" back then, but Zhang Xinjie in the youth training camp had a cautious feeling all over his body. In Ji Leng's words back then, he was "too cautious".But as he got older and experienced more and more, as if the burden had been unloaded, he became more at ease, and his sharp edge was fully exposed, like a good knife with a sharp edge, but he also faintly Revealed "murderous".

This evaluation comes from Huang Shaotian. When the national team assembled for the first time, he teased Zhang Xinjie, "Why are you so murderous?" At that time, when Zhang Jiale told Han Wenqing, he only listened to it as a joke, but now he understood the meaning of it. .

Zhang Xinjie and Huang Shaotian are actually the same kind of people—even though they have different occupations and different styles of play, they are both extremely aggressive at heart.It's just that Zhang Xinjie is also more introverted, perhaps because of his personality, his toughness is closer to a kind of resilience, but the sharpness hidden deep in his heart is not weaker than anyone else.

Han Wenqing was very preoccupied during the meal, and didn't say much during the whole meal, just listening to Ji Leng, Meng Chao and his gang talking nonsense.Ji Leng complained about the recent economic downturn and business is not going well, so Li Yibo patted him on the shoulder and booed: "Old Ji looks like a big boss at first sight—who cares about the economic situation for a small business!"

Ji Leng suffocated, and used the "Li Yibo classic commentary slip of the tongue" on the Glory forum to run on him. Black history such as "Trouble in the Night Rain manipulated Huang Shaotian to jump up" poured out of his mouth. Li Yibo was so angry that he almost exploded and hurt others.Meng Chao yelled "Brother Li, calm down!" He hugged Li Yibo's waist tightly, and Coach Yang teased him again: "Holding so tightly, are you two going to die for love or fly together!"

In the end, Zhang Xinjie was also dragged into the water, Li Yibo tugged on his sleeve with a smirk on his face, and asked him how he "attacked" the captain.Ji Leng and Meng Chao also followed suit. No matter how calm Zhang Xinjie was, he was the thin-skinned person at the table, and his face was flushed immediately.In the end, Han Wenqing slapped the table to stop the farce.

"Protect the calf."

"Be careful."

"I'm out of breath."

A group of old teammates unscrupulously made fun of Han Wenqing, making the former majestic and inviolable captain lose all dignity, but Han Wenqing obviously didn't intend to argue with them, and accepted all the ridicule.Ji Leng was surprised to find that all the previous tricks to flirt with Han Wenqing had failed, so he took the lead to run on Zhang Xinjie again. The people at the table were laughing and making noise, but they were very harmonious.

However, the consequence of this harmonious dinner was that Zhang Xinjie ruined his stomach.

After returning home, Zhang Xinjie could only lie weakly on the sofa and read a book for three days in a row, and he had no appetite for food. Han Wenqing originally planned to take Zhang Xinjie back to his parents' house during the Chinese New Year, but now he had to give up.

The Tyranny Club gave Han Wenqing the annual vacation, but several old teammates who had just gathered before also went home to celebrate the New Year, so he had to find a job for himself to buy New Year's goods, bringing back some miscellaneous things from the supermarket from time to time.

When he carried a box of ham sent by Zhang Jiale from the courier point into the house, Zhang Xinjie was nestling on the sofa and playing with cats. , its weight increased by leaps and bounds. At this moment, it lay on Zhang Xinjie's stomach, and he almost vomited under the pressure. He had no choice but to turn over, change to a side-lying position, and hug Xiao Han into his arms.

"Back? What is such a big box?"

"The ham sent by Zhang Jiale is said to be made in his hometown."

"Send so much?" Zhang Xinjie sat up straight, and the black cat obediently lay down on his lap, and put its front paws up neatly. It was a different cat when he was in front of Han Wenqing on weekdays.

"Yeah... I almost didn't move it." Han Wenqing unloaded the box, turned his head and looked at the person and cat on the sofa, "How about we send him something? Sea cucumbers, lobsters, etc., by the way, to Lao Lin Send some too."

"Okay, make up your mind." Zhang Xinjie continued to rub the black cat in front of him, and replied absent-mindedly.

After washing his hands, Han Wen came out and saw that he was still looking weak, so he walked over, imitating his way of rubbing a cat, and rubbed the back of his head: "Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"No need... I just have indigestion, it shouldn't be a big deal."

"Don't drag out your stomach troubles. At that time, there will be no one to take care of you alone in City B."

"It's okay, I know it in my heart, I can't bear it anymore and I can go to the hospital by myself."

"Okay...what's for dinner?"

"It doesn't matter, just watch it, I don't have much appetite anyway..."

"Take the ham sent by Zhang Jiale and make you chicken soup? You should be able to drink the soup, right?"

"Hmm...the ham stew should taste good." Zhang Xinjie nodded thoughtfully.

Han Wenqing was confused by his expression, bent over and kissed his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Whenever you are sick, you are like Lafayette, you have to be taken care of at any time."

Zhang Xinjie was startled when he heard the words, and glared at him, picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it on his head: "Get lost!"

How much damage can a soft pillow do?Han Wenqing wasn't annoyed when he got smashed, but was very happy to see Zhang Xinjie's distraught look. He rubbed the back of Zhang Xinjie's head contentedly, and then went to rub Xiao Han, but was scratched by Xiao Han's paw and fled. He got into the kitchen and started tossing pots and pans.

The sick "Lafayette" was finally whetted by the ham sent by Zhang Jiale. He drank several bowls of soup in a row, and even ate half a bowl of rice.

Han Wenqing of Longyan Dayue was thinking about how to reward the "hero". He took out his mobile phone and studied seafood for a long time. He frowned and asked, "Can fresh sea cucumbers be sent by express? I don't think it's interesting to send dry goods..."

Zhang Xinjie was still hugging the cat, one person and one cat curled up on the sofa: "Some courier companies have their own cold chain, and it's cold now, so it won't break if you send it within three days... The problem is, you know Zhang Jiale Are you in City K or City B now?"

"I don't know—I'll call him and ask him. If he's in City B, I'll send some to Sun Zheping by the way."

"Then you have to contact the courier company in advance so that the cold chain car is ready for pickup."

"Okay, I'll wash the dishes later and go out to buy seafood. You can contact the courier company for me, and we'll send it tonight."

"So urgent? The courier company doesn't deliver parcels during the Chinese New Year, right?"

"So you have to send it quickly, or you will have to wait until the next year."

Han Wenqing simply tidied up and left the house in a hurry. Zhang Xinjie was intimidated by his aura of "a million heroes crossing the river". By the way, I would like to express my condolences to the courier brother who is still working overtime during the Chinese New Year.

Then he called his family. On the phone, his mother asked when he would have dinner with his "in-laws". Zhang Xinjie could only talk about him, and even brought up the tragedy of his "failure" to divert topic.

"What's the matter with you kid? You passed the calculus, but you failed the linear algebra. Your dad will keep talking about it for a long time..."

"Then just don't let him know."

"Hey, what's the matter with you kid? Your wings are stiff, right? If you dare to talk to your mother like that, you won't be afraid that I will fly to Q City to clean you up in two days?"

"Okay, I'm waiting for you."

Zhang Xinjie teased his mother, hung up the phone, retreated to the sofa and continued to "huddle together" with Xiao Han.After playing for a long time, he heard a knock on the door. He thought it was Han Wenqing who had returned, so he sent Xiao Han back to the bedroom, and got up to open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he froze - Han Wenqing's mother stood outside the door, looking at him hesitantly.

Zhang Xinjie was also a little dazed for a moment, and he forgot to let her in, but just stood at the door in a daze, with the lights in the room obliquely shining on his head and shoulders, making it seem like two worlds inside and outside the house.
