Chapter 6 Chapter 6

night. Japanese luxury hotel. The Taoist uniform was drenched with sweat, Jin Minzhu yelled, and kicked the target in Min Shenghao's hand sideways!She has practiced for three full hours, which is twice the usual amount of training.The body was already shaking with fatigue, Jin Minzhu's eyes still seemed to have a volcano erupting, and he continued to kick straight, backward, and obliquely, roaring and chasing and kicking towards the target! "Drink---" The posture of jumping high, the power wants to kick the target to pieces! "Ding dong." The doorbell rang untimely.

Min Seung Ho opened the door. Within an hour, this was the third time the hotel lady had appeared.The service lady smiled awkwardly at Jin Minzhu who had moved away the sofa and coffee table and stood in the empty living room glaring at her, and said uncomfortably: "I'm sorry, we have received complaint calls from other customers, and it is already 11 o'clock at night. At this point, the other guests are sleeping and need to be quiet. You see, can you..." "Going to bed at eleven o'clock is ridiculous!" Jin Minzhu shouted back angrily, "Let them all wear earplugs!"

"Yes, I got it, we'll be quiet." Min Seung-ho replied calmly, watched the waitress leave, and closed the door. "Ignore them! Let's continue!" After waving his hand and taking a few breaths, Jin Minzhu was ready to continue practicing.She didn't believe it, this time she would lose to Qi Baicao again! "Min Joo." Min Seung Ho stared at the sweaty Kim Min Joo, and said in a deep voice, "You're too nervous." "Nervous, ha, am I nervous?" As if he had been greatly insulted, Jin Minzhu's eyes widened, "I will definitely defeat Qi Baicao this time! I know, I will definitely be able to defeat her this time!"

Min Seung-ho stretched out his hand, placed her left shoulder, and gave her a firm grip. "Ah-" Jin Minzhu screamed in pain! "Your muscles have become tense to the point of iron, and your legs have become stiff," Min Shenghao said solemnly, "Don't tell me you didn't notice it yourself." Flattening her mouth, Jin Minzhu felt a little downcast. "What are you worried about?" Min Shenghao asked bluntly, "It's not just because of Qi Baicao, right? When you decided to participate in this international invitational tournament, you didn't know that Qi Baicao would also sign up, so you were already nervous. Why?"

The night wind gently blew the curtains. The sweat gradually cooled on his body, Jin Minzhu was stunned for a while, then sat down on the ground slumped, and said, "I'm a little scared." "afraid of what?" "..." Jin Minzhu pursed his lips and shook his head sadly, "I'm just scared. Brother Shenghao, were you scared the first time you went abroad to play a game?" "Not afraid." Answering, Min Seung Ho remembered that the first time he went abroad to play a game was five years ago.At that time, Fang Tinghao was still all-powerful, and he easily won the championship of that international competition, but he lost the semi-finals and had no chance to fight against Fang Tinghao.

"Why aren't you afraid?" Jin Minzhu was taken aback. "I am a fledgling, and no one knows who I am," Min Shenghao replied calmly, "Even if I lose the preliminaries, there is nothing to be ashamed of." "How can you not be ashamed?!" Jin Minzhu became emotional, she clenched her hands, and said angrily: "If you can't win the championship, if you lose, it is a shame! It is a shame that can never be forgiven! Or, don't Go out to compete, or, you must win the championship!" "In that case, only one person can participate in all competitions, because there will always be only one champion." Min Shenghao answered her.

Jin Minzhu glared at him angrily! Her chest heaved vigorously, and she clenched her teeth. After a long time, she said bitterly, "Others can lose, but I can't!" Although no one said it, I know that everyone in the Korean Taekwondo world still remembers me. That game of my father! Back then, my father was responsible for the expectations of all the people, but he lost in the first round of the preliminaries... Tomorrow's game is also my first official game! If I fail to win the championship, If I'm in the first round of preliminaries..." Teeth were clenched. Jin Minzhu lowered his head abruptly, keeping his head down so that Min Seungho could not see his suddenly reddened eye circles!She doesn't want to lose, she wants to shine brightly in her first battle and stand on the podium of the champion!She wants the world to see that she is Jin Yishan's daughter, that she is strong, and that she is a born champion!

The night wind blows the curtains of the small hotel. With her eyes open, Baicao stared blankly at the wooden beamed roof.Tomorrow is the competition, the morning is the preliminaries, if you can enter the top 16, you will participate in the semi-finals and even the finals in the afternoon.This is the first time for her to participate in an international competition. Most of the competitions she has participated in are youth level competitions, municipal and most provincial competitions. The World Pretty Girl Taekwondo Competition is the competition she has participated in that has attracted the most attention.

I was a little nervous. But not too tense. Senior Brother Ruobai said, to be mentally prepared, treat tomorrow's match as Anyang's Taekwondo Gymnasium Challenge.Even if all the spectators in the stadium are cheering for "Tingyi", they must concentrate on playing the game well. then- Assuming it is, a game that is not favored by everyone will be fine. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Baicao turned over gently, trying to make herself fall asleep quickly, so as to adjust her body to the best condition, and the first game tomorrow will be against Kato. "Crack, click."

At night, on the other side of the paper door, Ruobai's low coughing sound came. Slowly sitting up, Baicao looked at the paper door in the dark, her heart tightened.Since this morning, while watching the preliminaries in the gymnasium, Ruobai began to cough uncontrollably.During the daily training in the open space outside in the afternoon, Ruobai's cough became more severe, and the hands holding the foot target for her were also a little unsteady. She is really worried. She wondered if Senior Brother Ruobai was sick. Although his body temperature is not too high, is it possible that some diseases do not have a fever?Tightening the thin quilt on her body, in the darkness, Baicao listened in horror to Senior Brother Ruobai who clearly tried to restrain himself, but still coughed heavily -- "Senior Ruobai..."

Kneeling on the tatami, Baicao stretched out her hand nervously to open the paper door. "I'm fine." On the other side of the paper door, there was the sound of Ruobai coughing slightly, and before she could pull the door, there was a soft "click", and he actually blocked the paper door from his own side! "Senior Brother Ruobai!" Her heart sank, Baicao became more and more uneasy, she anxiously patted the paper door with her right hand, and called out: "Senior Brother Ruobai, I want to see you! Let me see you, okay? " "Go to sleep." As if coughing under the pressure of all the strength in his body, Ruobai's voice was slightly hoarse, and there was a rustling sound of getting up from the other side of the paper door. "It's a little stuffy in the room. I'll go out for a walk. You go to bed first, don't wait for me." "I……" Baicao was in a hurry and stood up from the tatami in a hurry. "Don't follow me!" In the darkness, Ruobai's voice was extremely hoarse and cold, and Baicao stood there in shock. In the darkness, she could hear the door of Ruobai's room being opened and closed, and the sound of footsteps also disappeared in the corridor. Draw the curtains. As the moonlight shone in, Baicao bit her lips tightly, staring blankly at the familiar figure walking out of the window downstairs.In the quiet street, Ruobai's figure is as tall as a green pine on a snow-capped mountain, but he is shockingly thin.From under the window of the hotel, he walked away slowly, his back was drawn obliquely and long by the moonlight. she knows. Senior brother Ruobai was afraid that she would be worried. Afraid that his cough would affect her rest. Senior brother Ruobai wanted her to play well in tomorrow's game. she understands. She knows it all. But- On such a night in a foreign land, if Senior Brother Bai was alone outside the hotel, would she not be worried? She was very anxious, but she didn't dare to chase out regardless of Senior Brother Ruobai's order. She was anxious in every possible way, when suddenly, her thoughts flashed!Rushing to the backpack on the tatami, she took out her white mobile phone, hurriedly added the international area code, and pressed the number of Ruobai's black mobile phone. Dialed! In the night outside the window. Vaguely. The ringing of the mobile phone came from afar from the street below── ... willing for you My pleasure to help you I would like to forget my name for you Even if I stay in your arms for one more second ... The bell rang over and over again, but it was never picked up. Baicao hurried back to the window with her mobile phone.In the quiet street, the moonlight was faint, and Ruobai was still at the back. He stood still, staring down at the mobile phone that was beeping music ringing over and over again in the palm of his hand. ... My pleasure to help you My pleasure to help you I would be banished to sky for you ... Finally, Ruobai silently picked up the phone. Baicao is overjoyed. With the phone next to her ear, she shouted happily by the window: "Senior Brother Ruobai!" "Beep, beep, beep." What came from the phone was the busy tone of being hung up.A heavy heart sank, and when she looked blankly at the small street outside the window again, Ruobai's figure had disappeared like mist, leaving only a pale crescent moon in the night sky. The night wind blows in coolly. Baicao stood in front of the window for a long time, expecting that Ruobai would come back in the next second. The night is getting deeper and deeper. Leaning against the window, Baicao knelt and sat on the tatami mat, lying on the window frame and continued to wait blankly.The eyelids became heavier and heavier, and her head paused on the window pane. The night sky gradually turned white. She was curled up by the window, her body was a little cold in her sleep, she slept very restlessly, and from time to time she babbled a few words vaguely in her sleep. In the early morning, the paper door was gently opened. With a faint smell of dew on his body, Ruobai frowned and looked at Baicao who was curled up and sleeping in front of the window. He gently picked her up and put her back on the tatami bed.Carefully covering her with a thin quilt, Ruobai sat cross-legged beside her, unable to bear to wake her up for a long time, wanting her to sleep a little longer. The sun shines in through the windows. On the pillow, Baicao frowned, and her eyelashes trembled. Ruobai got up, walked lightly to the window, and was carefully closing the curtains, trying to shield her from the sun, but she heard behind her sitting up like a cannonball! "Senior Brother Ruobai!" That voice was full of ecstasy and longing, Ruobai turned around, and his eyes met Baicao's eyes that were as bright as the sun outside the window, both surprised and happy! "Senior brother Ruobai, you, when did you come back?" Some anxiety was added to the voice, and Baicao looked at him worriedly. "I came back very early last night." Ruobai said lightly. "Ah, did you come back early?" Baicao was stunned, "Why didn't I notice it at all?" "You slept very deeply," Ruobai said after fetching a basin of wash water for her, "I carried you back to the bed from the window, and you didn't notice at all." Baicao blushed. Scratching her head embarrassingly, she said shyly, "It's...is it?" She breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that Senior Brother Ruobai didn't rest all night, then his body would not be able to bear it even more.Thinking of this, she hurriedly asked again: "So your body feels better now?" "I slept very well last night, and I'm much better," Ruobai replied flatly, "I don't cough anymore." real! From just now to now, Senior Brother Ruobai didn't want to cough at all, Baicao's heart was filled with joy, she looked at him foolishly, she was so happy that she couldn't say anything, she could only smile foolishly, and showed him a bright big smile smile! "Get up quickly!" A warm feeling flashed in his eyes, Ruobai put her towel beside the washbasin, and squeezed toothpaste on her toothbrush. Seeing her obediently running over immediately, quickly lowering her head to brush her teeth and wash her face, looking at her messy hair from sleeping, Ruobai's heart softened, and he said, "Don't worry, there is still time." Walked from the hotel to the gymnasium, had breakfast at a snack bar along the road, when Ruobai and Baicao arrived at the competition venue of the International Taekwondo Invitational Tournament, almost all the players from other countries who had competitions today were present. There are countless lights in the venue, brightly lit. "Kato──" "Kato──" Although Baicao was mentally prepared, the crowd of excited Japanese audiences in the auditorium, the small flags flying all over the audience, and the banners that were pulled up to cheer for Kato Yinlily still made her feel uncomfortable. A little dazed. At yesterday's opening ceremony, the auditorium was only 80% full.But this morning was only the preliminaries, and there were so many people present. "Kato──" "Kato──" Before the contestants showed up, the shouts in the stadium were already deafening! "Let's go." As if turning a blind eye to the atmosphere of the scene, Ruobai said lightly. As a result, Baicao's heart also settled down.As Ruobai came to the contestant preparation area in the gymnasium, she changed into her uniform and came out, and began to do some simple warm-up exercises in the corner of the spacious preparation area. When Kato Yinbai came in together with the coach, a large group of Japanese journalists surrounded her. The reporters scrambled to hold out their microphones and asked her various questions about the game.Kato Ginlily always smiled and refused to answer, while her coach kept a straight face and warned the reporters not to ask any more questions and not to put pressure on Kato. suddenly. Kato Ginbaihe stopped walking. The reporters also stopped in bewilderment, seeing Kato Ginlily looking in one direction, they followed her.There was a girl with short hair, big deer-like eyes, wearing an old Taoist uniform with a small five-star red flag embroidered on the arm of the Taoist uniform. The girl is warming up. Two deer-like long legs pressed on the ground, straight and straight, the girl bent down slowly, her upper body was almost completely flat on the left leg. "Hello, long time no see." Tell the coach that Kato Yinlily walked quietly to Baicao who was warming up, and bowed to her respectfully. "Hello." Baicao quickly stood up and bowed to her in return. Seeing that Kato was so respectful to her, the Japanese reporters who were left behind asked each other about the origin of this Chinese girl. Finally, someone recognized it and said that this was the Chinese girl surnamed Qi who once defeated Kato in the beautiful girl taekwondo competition. It is she who will play Kato in the first round! The Japanese reporters were in an uproar. After Kato Yinyuri entered the locker room, some Japanese reporters scattered around and continued to wait, while some Japanese reporters surrounded Baicao. Regardless of her blank face, they pointed seven or eight microphones at her and asked questions like a cannonball. ──"Have you ever defeated Kato in China?" "We're going to play against Kato soon, are you nervous?" "Last time you were lucky enough to beat Kato, this time on the land of Japan, do you think it is possible for you to beat Kato?" "What do you think of Kato's last game..." The questions of the Japanese reporters were urgent, fast and noisy, and Baicao was surrounded by them, listening with difficulty.She had learned some simple Japanese conversations with Ruobai before, and although she couldn't fully understand what they were talking about, the words "Kato" that kept popping up made her understand that the reporters were asking about the upcoming conversation with Kato. Contest. "Sorry, she..." Keeping Baicao behind him, Ruobai was about to refuse interviews from all the Japanese reporters, when he suddenly saw a few more reporters entering the players' rest area, but Ruobai knew those reporters.Those reporters searched the rest area for a while, and immediately ran towards them excitedly! "Baicao──" "Baicao──" Ruobai and Baicao looked at each other, both a little surprised.In the World Girls Taekwondo Competition some time ago, the two often saw these reporters and knew that they were all from famous sports newspapers and big websites. They did not expect to come to today's International Invitational Tournament. "Baicao, we are here just for you!" Several Chinese reporters who came from afar said excitedly to Baicao. Originally, this Taekwondo Japan International Invitational Tournament was not a particularly large international event, and it did not attract much domestic attention.But some time ago, Baicao was dazzling and attracted the attention of countless people who love Taekwondo in China.When she learned that this was the first time for Baicao to participate in an international competition, and her opponent in the first match was the Japanese taekwondo national idol Kato Yinyuri who had lost to her, so several major media decided to go to Japan to follow up and report after discussion. "Will there be a webcast?" Hearing the Chinese reporter say this, Baicao was a little taken aback. "Yes! Because we came too hastily, we didn't have time to arrange a live broadcast on TV, so we arranged a live broadcast on the Internet. Then all the viewers on the Internet will be able to directly watch the live action of your game!" "..." Inexplicably nervous, Baicao looked up at Ruobai. "Thank you for coming to cheer for Baicao," Ruobai said politely to the Chinese reporters, "Baicao will definitely go all out, please give her more time to prepare now." "Okay, okay, we must work hard!" "Baicao, we believe that you will definitely win!" Several Chinese reporters cheered Baicao one after another, and when they dispersed, they also dragged away several Japanese reporters who were standing next to them.While walking towards the corner of the players' rest area, the Japanese reporter curiously asked the Chinese reporter: "Is she a very good player in your country?" "Of course! She is a very great taekwondo player. Since she debuted, she has never lost in any competition!" A Chinese reporter replied proudly. Hearing this, several Japanese reporters were both a little surprised and a little worried. The time for the game is getting closer and closer. "Drink---" There was already a thin layer of sweat on the back, and Baicao kicked the target in Ruobai's hand horizontally!live streaming?Will all her matches be broadcast live?Her heart beat fast and disorderly, and her body fell from the air. Baicao couldn't help but look at the reporters next to her. Take a few breaths. Trying to restrain her mind, Baicao raised her head and saw Ruobai looking at her expressionlessly.Although he didn't say anything, the look in his eyes made her feel ashamed. "I……" Because of the distracting thoughts in her heart, Baicao was too ashamed to look at him again. "Without the live broadcast, you have to defeat Kato. With the live broadcast, you have to defeat Kato even more." Staring at her, Ruobai said in a low voice, "Did you hear that?!" "Yes!" Her body shook, and Baicao replied reflexively. One after another, all the contestants who participated in today's competition have arrived, and Jin Minzhu, who looked up at all sentient beings, changed into his Taoist uniform and began to warm up.The atmosphere gradually became more and more tense. Some players were interviewed by reporters before the game, and some players were warming up. Seeing that there were only ten minutes left before entering the arena, Ruobai sat beside her and said, "Relax." The screen in the rest area of ​​the players showed "9 minutes and 30 seconds" left before the start of the game. Gudong Gudong drank two sips of water, the short hair was sticking wetly to his face, Baicao picked up the towel and wiped his face, then combed the slightly wet hair with his fingers.Although there is no makeup, although she is not as beautiful as Kato Yin Lily, she still hopes to look better during the live broadcast. The fingers in the black hair suddenly stopped── She froze. His fingers touched it again anxiously, and then touched it again── His face paled. She stood up abruptly, and rushed towards the only floor-to-ceiling mirror in the rest area of ​​the contestants! There was a girl with flushed cheeks in the mirror, her eyes widened in horror. She looked at herself in the mirror, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and continued to grope through the hair with her fingers, no!She turned sideways, turned around, and searched repeatedly in front of the mirror, nothing!Not in the back of your head!Not on clothes! Really gone! "What's wrong?" Seeing that she was so out of order, Ruobai frowned and followed her to ask. Looking at him with wide eyes in horror, Baicao's face was as white as snow, and she couldn't say a word.Her body trembling, she suddenly turned around and rushed to the changing room, almost colliding with Jin Minzhu who just finished warming up!Jin Minzhu cursed a few words angrily, and then followed Min Shenghao to go out and wait. When passing by Ruobai, Min Shenghao saluted him. On the time display board in the rest area of ​​the players, there are "7 minutes and 40 seconds" left before the opening time. Ruobai stood anxiously at the door of the changing room. When Baicao finally came out, there was only "6 minutes and 20 seconds" left, and most of the players had already left the rest area and entered the competition area. Ruobai had a calm complexion, and was about to reprimand Baicao sharply, but saw Baicao rushing out with a pale face, as if he had lost his mind. Seeing him was like a person about to sink in water seeing driftwood, grabbed him, and shouted in a panic: "It's gone." !" "What's missing?" Holding back his anger, Ruobai asked as calmly as possible. "Strawberry hairpin! My strawberry hairpin!" Grabbing his arm tightly, Baicao shouted nervously, "When I left the hotel, I obviously wore it on my head, but now it's gone! It must have been lost Where is it! I just went to the changing room to look for it, but there is nothing! I... I will look for it in the rest area, maybe it fell somewhere when I was warming up just now!" As she said that, she was so anxious that she squatted down like a headless chicken to look around! Ruobai's face was livid, and he yelled, "If you lose it, you lose it! Get up, it's time to go out!" Apart from Baicao, there were only two players left in the rest area.When the last two contestants walked past Baicao when they left, they all gave her strange looks when they saw her lying on the ground in a panic looking for something. On the time display board, only "4 minutes and 10 seconds" remained. "Enough!" With a tense face, Ruobai picked up Baicao who was struggling to find the hairpin from the ground, and said angrily, "Don't look for it anymore! Come out now!" "But, but..." The ground in the contestants' rest area was empty, and it was clear at a glance that there was nothing there. Despair gradually grew in Baicao's heart, and even Ruobai's voice was just buzzing, as if it was far away, "My Strawberry hair clip...I can't find my strawberry hair clip...it must have been lost somewhere, I was obviously wearing it when I went out..." "It's just a hair clip!" Ruobai was furious, "If you lose it, buy it again!" "I've worn it in all previous games!" She wore that strawberry barrette to every previous victory.There seemed to be a hole in Baicao's heart.Her lips trembled slightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said to him: "The strawberry hairpin is my lucky item, and I can only win if I wear it. Now, it's gone, I, I..." "What nonsense!" Ruobai and Baicao were left in the huge player rest area, and there was only "2 minutes and 15 seconds" left.Looking at Baicao, who was completely devastated and totally different from usual, Ruobai was angry and anxious, and shouted: "You attributed all your victories to a hairpin?! Can you be more superstitious and stupid?! Qi Baicao, I order you! Get out now and completely forget about that hairpin!" hold her. Ruobai dragged her heavily to the gate of the contestant preparation area! Across that door. In the venue, the sound of passionate music, commentary and shouts came from the competition area, and the atmosphere was as enthusiastic as boiling waves! "Get out!" Said sharply, Ruobai opened the door and pushed Baicao, who seemed to have lost her soul, into the competition area! The lights in the competition area were blindingly bright. The vision was a bit blurred, and the auditorium was full of dark people.Her body was still trembling slightly, Baicao took a deep breath and tried her best to force back the tears welling up in her eyes.Yes, that's right, she knew what Senior Brother Ruobai said was right, and she shouldn't be superstitious. All the victories in the past were due to hard training.It's okay to lose the strawberry hairpin, and it's okay to never find it again. But…… Biting her lips tightly, she lowered her head, without the hairpin, her hair was empty, and her heart was also empty... "Baicao should be able to defeat Kato." In the media seats not far away, reporter Liu from South China Sports News asked reporter Dai beside him while looking at the players who lined up to enter the field. "Should be able to." Reporter Dai is from the sports channel of "Wangdu", the largest portal website in China, and he is typing on the keyboard quickly, conducting the text live broadcast and commentary of this Taekwondo International Invitational Tournament. "I was at the match between Baicao and Kato last time," reporter Liu recalled with relish, "Little girl Baicao played really tough, and it was fun to watch! No wonder she is about to overtake Fang Ting in such a short period of time." It's good. You don't know, since the Pretty Girl Taekwondo Competition, our newspaper office has received countless calls and letters, all supporting Baicao, hoping that she can represent the country in the World Championships." "That's right, our website is the same," Reporter Dai said, staring at the screen with his fingers, "Baicao's popularity is very strong, that's why the boss gave special approval to broadcast today's game on the Internet. Look, the live sports channel now, There are already millions of domestic netizens waiting to watch this game!" "But why do I feel that there is something wrong with Qi Baicao's expression." Reporter Yang from the "Sports Pioneer" on the other side heard what they said, and interjected, "It seems a little nervous. Look, her face is pale and her expression is also pale. A little dazed. After all, it is her first time to participate in an international competition, so I think you should not be too optimistic." There were cheers and shouts all over the place. Although it was only the preliminaries in the morning, the deafening cheers were like the scene of the final.More than a dozen cameras were aimed at the center of the arena from different angles. The blue mat, the yellow boundary line, and the LCD time and score display screen, the referees began to appear, and the atmosphere became more and more exciting! Although I have been trying my best to restrain myself. After touring the arena with other contestants and bowing to the audience, Baicao stood on the sidelines in the hustle and bustle of the arena, wearing a red protective gear, and couldn't help flashing through his mind over and over again every day since he left the hotel. A scene.She was sure that she had put on the strawberry barrette before she set off, when she touched it with her hand and adjusted its position in front of the bathroom mirror. And then out the door. All the way and Senior Brother Ruobai walked. It shouldn't just fall out of your hair without any problem. what…… Could it be- In the small snack bar for breakfast, when she finished her meal and brought her and Senior Brother Ruobai's plate back to the counter to the proprietress, just as she turned around, a young man who seemed to be in a hurry bumped into her. on her!Something on the young man's sleeve seemed to have scratched her hair, but then the young man's purse fell on the road... If you look for it now, maybe you can find it back!Thinking of this, Baicao hurriedly raised her head, in the bright light of the gymnasium, just as she raised her eyes, she met Ruobai's cold and angry eyes! "Still thinking about that hairpin?!" Ruobai whispered with restrained anger in his voice. "...Maybe it fell in the snack shop," her hands twisted together nervously, Baicao was struggling in her heart, it was just a hairpin, she knew she shouldn't, but, but, "...I... I want to...remember..." The preliminaries in the morning are interspersed with men's and women's competitions. The first match of the men's group will be held first, and then it will be her turn to play. "You want to find it back?!" "I can run very fast! From the snack shop to the gymnasium, I can run back and forth in fifteen minutes, without delay..." Seeing Ruobai's eyes getting colder and colder, a sight that was so cold that it was almost piercing, Baicao's voice became smaller and smaller, and she dared not speak any more. Just when she was afraid and thought that Ruobai would be furious── Ruobai resisted and closed his eyes. The male contestants of the first group had already entered the arena, and a few seconds later, Ruobai opened his eyes and said blankly: "What is it for? I don't believe it, it's just because it's your lucky charm That's all. Even if it is your lucky item, without it, you can't even play the game? Say, what is it for?" "..." Baicao stood dumbfounded. "Say!" The cruelty in Ruobai's voice was like the last straw on the camel's body. Fear and uneasiness broke through her last line of defense.When she bowed her head in shame, tears rolled down from the bottom of her eyes, from the air, and dripped down to the tip of her shoe. "That's... That's what Senior Brother Chuyuan gave me..." On her birthday, when she opened the iron door of the locker, under the snow-white Taoist uniform, she saw the shiny red strawberry hairpin that she liked very much but was reluctant to buy.On the card next to it, there are a few strawberries painted on it, with Senior Brother Chuyuan's beautiful font on it, wishing her a happy birthday. no one ever... Leave her a message so carefully. He just glanced at her in the night market and noticed that she liked the strawberry hairpin, so he bought it for her.Although the strawberry hairpin only costs eight yuan, she likes it even more than the brand new uniform.Ever since she was a child, she has always existed like weeds on the side of the road. It was the first time that she was watched so carefully and cherished by others. since that day. She never let that strawberry barrette get away from her. Tears dripped silently from the air. Once again the toe of the snow-white road shoes was soaked, Baicao lowered her head desperately, she didn't dare to cry, she knew she was wrong, she knew that Senior Brother Ruobai was angry, but—"...that was given to me by Senior Brother Chuyuan .” In the dazzlingly bright gymnasium, surrounded by deafening shouts, Baicao's voice was very soft, with fragile and transparent tears. That's what she cherishes the most... Strawberry Barrette. She knows that the competition is very important, but that is her most cherished strawberry hairpin... "Chuyuan gave it to you?" In the brightly lit gymnasium, the sound of cheering was like a wave of ocean waves. Hearing her words, Ruobai's body gradually stiffened into a stone sculpture. He looked at her with a strange expression The absent-minded and drooping face repeated stiffly: "You mean, it was given to you by...'Chuyuan'?" There were deafening cheers in the auditorium, as if the ceiling was about to be blown away. Looking at her weeping face, everything seemed to slow down and stop suddenly.Scenes and scenes flashed through his mind blankly, slowly, those pictures that he thought he had long forgotten. ... Spring afternoon. In front of the small jewelry stall, she foolishly looked at the small mirror handed to her by the young stall owner.In the afternoon sun, even from such a long distance, he could still see the silly expression on her face, she was already dumbfounded, just like the strawberry hairpin she thought was pinned to her bangs It is the most beautiful ornament in the world. ... At the night market. Under the light of a string of light bulbs, she picked up the strawberry hairpin from the jewelry stall again.With short hair that was cut in a mess, she stared blankly at the hairpin she liked very much at noon in her hand, with a sad expression on her face. He called her a few times, but she didn't hear him in a daze. ... Don't want her to focus on anything other than training. Only, that day was her birthday. Opening her locker, which was never locked, he silently put the strawberry hairpin in.There were only her schoolbag and shoes in the locker, and he gently placed the strawberry hairpin next to her schoolbag. ... The lights in the gymnasium were blindingly bright, and her tears fell from the air, silently soaking the toes of her road shoes.Everything is so quiet, Ruo Bai suddenly remembered──...... Changhai Road Museum in South Korea. Green grass, bright sunshine. "You wear it?" Seeing the red strawberry hairpin pinned to her bangs, her eyes became darker and brighter.He actually asked about a topic that had nothing to do with training. "Ah?" Touching the strawberry hairpin on her hair, she blushed and murmured, "...um." Because of her blushing, his heartbeat suddenly became abnormal. "……Like it?" "……like." With her head lowered, her face was as red as the morning dew... It turned out that she thought it was given to her by Chu Yuan. The dazzling lights of the stadium made people dizzy, Ruobai frowned uncomfortably, and then smiled indifferently. There was an unsettling silence all around. I didn't wait for criticism, I didn't wait for scolding, I didn't wait for any voice, there was only strange silence in my ears.The sound of cheering came from the auditorium all around, and Senior Brother Ruobai beside her was as silent as if he didn't exist. "Senior Brother Ruobai..." This kind of silence made Baicao more and more uneasy.Sucking her nose to drive away the remaining tears, she raised her head hastily, her eyes were red and said: "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong... I'll go find my hairpin after all the games in the morning are over... ...Brother Ruobai, yes, I'm sorry, I won't think about hairpins anymore, don't be angry..." See Ruobai still expressionless. He stood dumbly, neither looking at her nor speaking. Fear suddenly gripped her heart! Last time in South Korea, when she made an agreement with Kim Min Joo to quit Taekwondo after losing, she also saw him look like this.Brother Ruobai is really angry!Is really angry! She was terrified, grabbed his arm tightly, and shouted incoherently: "I know I was wrong..." "Senior Brother Ruobai, Senior Brother Ruobai... I really know I was wrong..." "...I just... because... because it was the hairpin that senior brother Chuyuan gave me... I don't want to lose it... that... that..." Tears flowed down uncontrollably, but this time it was not because The hairpin, but her fear, she cried and said, "I don't want that hairpin anymore, Senior Brother Ruobai, even after the game is over, I won't look for that hairpin again... Okay... Senior Brother Ruobai, you Forgive me, okay..." In the gymnasium where cheers are loud. No one noticed the little chaos in this corner. The men's first group preliminaries in the center of the field have entered the second round. The arm was grasped by her in a panic, Ruobai looked at her slowly, looking at her eyes full of fear and terror, a hole seemed to be sunken in the bottom of his heart, he said lightly: "That hairpin, it's not the first hairpin. Originally sent to you." "..." Her eyes suddenly widened! Ruobai said blankly: "So, forget about it, it's just what I gave you." Stupid there, as if she couldn't understand anything, she stared blankly at him, as if after a long, long time, she said dryly, "Strawberry hairpin...it's you...it's you..." “是。草莓发夹是我从那个黄头发的摊主手中买来的。”若白淡漠地说，“它很便宜，丢了并不可惜，也并不是初原送你的。所以，从现在开始，你可以彻底忘掉它，集中注意力在比赛上面了吗？” “……为什么？”她的面孔雪白雪白。 “什么为什么？”若白皱眉。 “……为什么要买那只草莓发夹给我？”她死死地咬住嘴唇，但泪水仍然控制不住地流淌下来，“……为什么，我一直误会那是初原师兄送我的，你也不……也不告诉我……” 不再看她，若白的唇色很白。 “我买它送你，只是因为它很便宜。你误会是初原送你的，是因为，你希望那是初原送你的。” "I don't!" 泪水狂涌，那种从未有过的委屈使得百草再也控制不住自己！她讨厌哭，可是，她不要这样被若白师兄冤枉！她没有因为那是初原师兄买给她的草莓发夹，她是因为有人在意她，有人留意她，有人知道她喜欢什么……草莓发夹很便宜，可是，那是她最爱的东西，哪怕只值一块钱，那也是她最爱的东西！ 哭着，百草松开了他的手臂！ “我去找它！” 用手背擦着满脸的泪水，她的脸容苍白地猛然转身，向赛场外冲去！她要找回那枚草莓发夹！她要立刻找回来，是她弄丢了它，是她一直弄错了送她的人，是她伤了若白师兄的心，那是她最宝贵的东西！ “你做什么──” 疾跑几步，从身后抓住她，若白气得胸口都疼了起来。回过身，泪水迷蒙了视线，百草却梗直了脖子说：“我要去找回它！” “那只草莓发夹？！”若白不敢置信。 "right!" “你知不知道马上你就要上场比赛了？！” "I know!" “那你……”若白气得面色煞白。 “比赛可以有很多场，”泪水扑簌簌地落下，她哭着，固执地硬声说，“这次输了，我可以去打下一次！但是，我的草莓发夹只有那一枚，丢了就再也没有了！我要找回它，我一定要找回它！” "You—" 若白气得反手扬起一掌！ 惊骇地闭上眼睛，百草死死地握紧双拳，等待若白师兄盛怒下的掌掴。但，谁也不能阻止她！ 她要去找！ 她现在就要去找回她的草莓发夹！ 眼睛紧闭的黑暗中，那等待的掌掴迟迟没有落下，当她迟疑地睁开眼睛时，看到的是若白缓缓落下的右手和他沉黯失望的表情。 "it is good." 低哑的声音从她的头顶飘下来。 “你留下来打比赛，”仿佛有了决定，若白克制着，淡淡说，“我去替你找回那枚发夹。” "..." 她张口欲言！ “如果这样都不行，”眼神冰冷，若白厉声说，“那么，从此你再不要认我是你的师兄！” 不远处，金敏珠看到了这边的这一幕。 “哈！”得意地狂笑起来，金敏珠对身旁的闵胜浩说：“看到没有，戚百草怯站想逃，她的师兄痛骂了她一顿，哈哈，她被她师兄骂哭了！没出息的家伙，还没比赛就腿软了！看，她师兄都气走了，不理她了，哈哈！” 想一想，金敏珠又不高兴起来，嘟囔说：“哼，被这么怯战想逃的家伙打败过，真不是一件让人开心的事情！” 看到若白的身影消失在赛场的出口，场边只剩下百草一个人在呆呆流泪，闵胜浩有些疑惑。难道接下来那场同日本跆拳道全民偶像加藤银百合的比赛，若白决定让百草一个人独自面对吗？
