Chapter 3 Chapter 3

Breaking free from the cheering and excited hugs of his teammates, when Baicao hurried to Ruobai, he saw Chuyuan staring at Ruobai, and asked sternly, "Can you?" Ruobai raised his eyes and saw that Min Shenghao was already walking towards the stage, he replied, "Yes." "But," half-kneeling beside Ruobai, Baicao saw that the two packs of medicine were still lying quietly on the ground as when she left, as if no one had paid attention to them, her chest froze and she paused, He said anxiously, "Brother Ruobai, you are sick..." Chuyuan nodded and said, "Also, Ruobai, you have a fever and are exhausted. This kind of physical condition is not suitable for the competition. Or, Kou Zhen can replace you with Min Shenghao..."

"I can." Ruobai repeated it, he stood up slowly, Baicao subconsciously wanted to help him, but he blocked her with his arm, separating her. On the stage, two teenagers in snow-white uniforms stood in the center of the field. The dark-complexioned boy, Min Shenghao, is one of the most outstanding disciples of Changhai Daoguan in recent years. He is the champion of the most recent World Youth Taekwondo Championship after Ting Hao left the field.The calm, elegant and upright young man is Ruobai who has never participated in the World Series. "Brother Ruobai is sick?" Xiaoying and the others heard the few words just now, and looked at each other worriedly.Seeing the first four games, the Anyang team won two points in the round between Yifeng and Baicao, and Tongchang Haidaoguan was tied. If Ruobai can beat Min Shenghao, they can win the team challenge.

Although against Min Shenghao, Ruobai's chances of winning are not great, but there will always be unexpected situations in the game, and there is always a chance.However, Ruobai went on stage with an illness... just in case…… just in case…… Thinking of Baicao's series of whirlwind kicks like a thunderbolt just now, which abruptly kicked Jin Minzhu off the high stage, which made Changhai Gymnasium lose face.In case Min Shenghao ruthlessly dealt with Ruobai in order to save Changhai Gymnasium's face, then... what should we do... "Oh, oh!" Xiaoying fidgeted anxiously, grabbed Baicao's arm tightly, and said bitterly, "I knew, you hit it softly just now, and it would be good if you didn't kick Jin Minzhu down. Although it is very difficult to kick Jin Minzhu down. Calm down, but it would be bad if Min Shenghao took revenge on Senior Brother Ruobai!"

Baicao's expression darkened. "In the last kick against Jin Minzhu, he didn't control his strength well, right?" Chuyuan asked while watching Ruobai's match. "……yes." Although she wanted to defeat Jin Minzhu, and even used a series of whirlwind kicks to completely defeat Jin Minzhu's arrogance, but in the last kick, she did not intend to kick Jin Minzhu away like Ruan Xiumei yesterday.If Jin Minzhu humiliated Ruan Xiumei like that, it was too arrogant, then if she followed suit, it would be different from Jin Minzhu. However, when performing Shuangfei's third kick, she had to use all her body's strength to kick it out, and even with all her strength, she could no longer control the inertia and strength of her legs.

she thought... Everyone will think she did it on purpose. "It's not easy to retract and release the strength of your legs. You don't have to feel guilty." During the interval between the two attacking on the stage, Chuyuan rubbed her hair comfortingly, and picked up a large towel to wrap around her hair. to her shoulders, "Be careful of catching a cold, I sweated so much just now." "I'm sorry," Xiaoying was extremely ashamed, twisting her fingers back and forth, "Baicao, I...I shouldn't have said that about you...I'm just a little worried about Senior Brother Ruobai..."

"It's okay." Baicao hurriedly shook her head. "What are you worried about?" Yifeng glanced at Xiaoying, "Please, don't think of Ruobai as vulnerable, can you? It's hard to say who will win and who will lose. Don't just think that being angry with others will destroy your prestige." "Oh." Xiaoying drooped her head, just about to say something── "Crack!" On the stage, the situation has changed drastically! After the stalemate between the two sides, Ruobai took the lead in attacking. Min Shenghao seemed to have been prepared, and instantly turned around and kicked. , jumped up, turned the straight kick into a downward chop, and the legs were full of wind and pressure!

A series of changes dazzled the audience! Baicao sat holding her breath. Seeing that the downward strike had already covered the top of Min Shenghao's head, there was a loud "snap" and the shadows of the two teenagers' legs intertwined, it was Min Shenghao's back kick that hit Ruobai's shoulder, Ruobai's face was white, "bang", "bang" took two steps back. "Ah..." Baicao exclaimed in surprise. "Ah──!" It was Xiaoying who screamed, "How could it be, how could it be like this! Obviously, Senior Brother Ruobai is going to kick Min Shenghao, and Senior Brother Ruobai is going to score! How could it be..."

Yifeng's face was serious. "Min Shenghao's kicks are very fast," Shen Bo frowned and recorded in his notebook, "Although Ruobai has judged his movements, after all, two kicks will be slower than one straight kick." After Hao, Min Shenghao has almost monopolized all champions at this level, regardless of strength or reaction speed, he is the top choice. "No," Baicao bit her lip as she watched Ruobai barely stand still, and tightly held the two packs of medicine that Ruobai hadn't touched, "Senior brother Ruobai just...had a fever." In her opinion, Senior Brother Ruobai's speed is no slower than Min Shenghao's. He raised his legs very quickly and his timing was very good. However, at the moment when he was chopping down in the air, she could see that Ruobai's figure was slightly moving. The shaking seems to be a little weak in physical strength.

If Senior Brother Ruobai is not sick. That round just now... 0:1. Min Seung-ho scored. Changhai's disciples cheered, and the morale that had been low because of Jin Minzhu's defeat just now was revived.Baicao clenched her fingers and stared blankly at Ruobai who had rejoined the competition on the stage. She could see that Ruobai's face was sickly pale and his lips were a little dry with fever. In fact, it's not that she doesn't understand why Ruobai insists on playing. ... Since Ting Hao announced that he would no longer participate in any competitions and half quit Taekwondo, Ruobai was very depressed for a whole year.He refused to go to coach Shen Ning's taekwondo base. Apart from leading the disciples of Songbai Gymnasium to do daily training, he hardly did any actual combat exercises.

"You... really want to defeat Senior Ting Hao?" On that night two years ago, she asked Ruobai.Because of Ruobai's indifference, she had always been a little afraid of him, but she just looked at him like this every day, and finally she mustered up the courage to carefully sit with him on the wooden porch under the moonlight. "It's because," she could not hear his answer for a long time, she said bravely, "You regard Senior Ting Hao as the strongest opponent, but Senior Ting Hao no longer participates in the competition, and you have never formally fought against him again." Chance... so, a little sad?"

The moonlight was very faint. Ruobai's face was reflected in the shadow of the eaves. "Why do you want to practice Taekwondo?" She hesitated for a moment, staring at his silent and cold side, "Just to defeat Senior Ting Hao?" Ruobai glared at her. "Then," she frowned, looking into his dark and angry eyes, "why give up for him?" The moonlight is faint. Time seems to have passed a century. Silently, Ruobai lowered his eyelashes slowly, looking at the long shadows of the two on the ground, just when she thought he would never speak, he said hoarsely: "I'm useless." His voice was as cool as moonlight. "When I was a child, I lay on the wall of the gymnasium and peeked at the training of the disciples inside. At that time, the Songbai gymnasium was the number one gym in Anyang. There were many disciples and it was very lively. Everyone regarded the Songbai gymnasium as an example. Rong, as long as you go out to compete with Chuyuan, the championship will only belong to Songbai." He said lightly, "Since Chuyuan quit Taekwondo, Songbai Gymnasium has plummeted in my hands. Master is very disappointed. He even leads everyone in daily training. I don’t go there often, and there are fewer and fewer disciples in the gym.” She listened dumbfounded. "Ting Hao is like a genius who came out of the sky and took away all the honors and championships that Chuyuan had won. People gradually forgot about Chuyuan, and only remembered Ting Hao who was as radiant as the sun." He pursed his lips mockingly. After a while, he raised his eyelashes and looked at her indifferently. "As long as Ting Hao can be defeated, the Songbai Gymnasium can be revived. I have never done such a simple thing." "..." She didn't know what to say. "After two years of hard training, I thought I had improved a lot, but it wasn't until that match that I realized that the gap with Ting Hao was even bigger." His eyes were indifferent and cold, "There is no need to continue practicing, Taekwondo belongs to geniuses Sports, no matter how long ordinary people practice, it’s just a foil for being kicked over.” "I also...shouldn't practice anymore, should I?" Her heart sank heavily.The gap between her and Tingyi is even greater, just like one person is on the moon and the other is on the ground. "But, I don't believe this," she took a breath, "My style of play is stupid, I practice hard, I'm not a genius, but as long as I keep practicing, I will improve, and one day, It is possible to defeat Tingyi!" The moonlight is cool. "Will you regret it?" Biting her lip, she turned to look at him, "If one day, a stupid person like me can defeat Tingyi, but you don't practice anymore. You---really won't regret it ?" ... That night, Ruobai and her sat outside the practice hall for almost the whole night.He was silent and didn't speak any more, and she didn't dare to say anything. Later, she found herself lying on the wooden porch and fell asleep. After that night, gradually, Ruobai started training again and joined coach Shen Ning's taekwondo base.A year later, he led Songbai Gymnasium to defeat Xianwu Gymnasium in the city-wide challenge and won the championship.However, Ting Hao did not participate in that competition, and she understood that it was an irreparable regret for Ruobai. In today's team competition, Changhai sent Min Shenghao.After Ting Hao, Min Shenghao was a brilliant player. Min Shenghao and Ting Hao had never fought against each other. It was once one of the topics that the Taekwondo world talked about about which of the two would be stronger. Therefore, even if he had a fever, Ruobai would not miss this match. Baicao nervously watched the competition on the stage. Min Shenghao and Ruobai started a new round of stalemate. Both of them were calm and not in a hurry to attack. She hoped that Ruobai could win. Ruobai needed a victory like this too much.In the past year, Senior Brother Ruobai has spent too much time and energy on her. Although she has improved rapidly, Senior Brother Ruobai himself has delayed a lot. if- If Min Shenghao can be defeated, Senior Brother Ruobai will definitely cheer up and ignite the enthusiasm for the competition and victory! "Drink---!" Suddenly, in the stalemate, Min Shenghao shouted suddenly, jumped up and kicked horizontally, his left leg flew towards Ruobai's chest like thunder! He saw it! Baicao was startled suddenly and panicked. Min Shenghao must have seen that Senior Brother Ruobai was in a physical condition, so he took the initiative to attack.In the match against Vietnam yesterday, it was obvious that Min Shenghao was a conservative player who defended and counterattacked. Against the much weaker player in Vietnam, he was calm and patient. "Crack!" The two figures intertwined, and their movements were so fast that even Baicao was so nervous that he didn't blink, but he didn't see what kind of round it was, it was Ruobai's right leg that slammed onto Min Shenghao's chest! 1:1. The referee signaled. "Wow────" After being stunned, there was a murmur of whispering in the valley. Among the hundreds of campers from various countries, almost no one could see how Ruobai fought back! "I don't understand." Shen Bo raised his black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose in confusion. "The legs are so fast," Kou Zhen was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, "It's like the shadowless legs in the movie. Fortunately, Ruobai played this time..." Baicao is delighted. As long as Ruobai scored, it's fine, but she didn't understand either.Raising her head, she subconsciously looked at Chu Yuan beside her. "Ruobai is ready." Chuyuan stared at the stage, "Ruobai was waiting there before Min Shenghao kicked out, and as soon as Min Shenghao kicked out, Ruobai's counterattack arrived, and it was even better than Min Shenghao's kick. Seung Ho took a quick shot." "Hey, are you ready?" Xiaoying scratched her hair, "It sounds a bit like the one that Baicao practiced so hard... What is it to see through the opponent's move and give the enemy a head start!" "Maybe." Chu Yuan smiled slightly. The first game ended 1:1. Seeing Ruobai walking down the stage, Baicao hurriedly got up, but Chuyuan held his arm. He shook his head and warned, "Don't mention anything about illness or fever, it will only distract him." Baicao was taken aback. Chuyuan also stood up and walked towards Ruobai, her voice remained in her ear: "Let him concentrate on playing this game well." Yifeng handed a towel to Ruobai, Xiaoying graciously handed him water, Ruobai's expression was still calm, he listened carefully to Chu Yuan pointing out Min Shenghao's loopholes in defense, and would chat with Chu Yuan from time to time.Baicao stood behind Ruobai blankly, not knowing what to do for him. Suddenly, she was pushed from behind. "boom!" She almost lay on Ruobai's back, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she heard Xiaoying, the culprit, sniggered and ran away. "I..." Seeing Ruobai looking back at her indifferently, Baicao was at a loss for what to do with embarrassment, and stammered, "...Senior Brother Ruobai, may I massage and relax your shoulders for you?" After playing a game, Ruobai's muscles should be sore and tense. It would be good to help him relax.Thinking of this, she quickly lowered her head and rubbed his shoulders vigorously. "No need to." Ruobai had no expression on his face, and moved his body away a little, leaving her hands frozen in the air. The second game started. "Senior Brother Ruobai is still angry," Xiaoying looked at the gloomy Baicao sympathetically, scratched her head, and said, "Forget it, Senior Brother Ruobai shouldn't be angry for too long. After the game, you go and admit your mistake. Just let him scold you a few words." "Hmm." Baicao replied in a muffled voice. "Hehe," Xiaoying laughed dryly, and said comfortingly, "However, it seemed that Senior Brother Ruobai's physical condition was not that bad just now, and he seemed to be in good spirits, and he didn't have a cough, so you can rest assured." "Drink---!" On the stage, this time it was Ruobai who took the lead in attacking, with sharp legs and awe-inspiring murderous aura! If she hadn't touched Senior Brother Ruobai's shoulder just now, and could feel his abnormally high body temperature through the Taoist uniform, maybe she would have thought that his body was all right, just like Xiaoying. Baicao's heart clenched tightly. Never before had a match made her feel so restless. On the high stage, Ruobai jumped up and flew up to attack again and again, his shouts echoed in the valley, his murderous aura was cold, but his figure was as handsome as a pine tree, which made the campers from all over the world a little dumbfounded Stop, even forget to applaud. It was a wonderful offensive and defensive battle. After Min Shenghao missed the attack in the first game, he switched to a solid defensive counterattack.In the Ruobai game that Baicao had seen before, Ruobai was also defensive and counterattacking, but from the second game, Ruobai completely changed his tactics! He attacked like a storm. Like a dagger full of murderous aura, it stabs through Min Shenghao's defenses again and again! Is this a tactic arranged by Chuyuan? However, if Senior Brother Bai has a fever, how long can his physical strength last?Clenching her fingers tightly, Baicao was extremely worried. "Crack ─ ─ ─ ─!" After a series of attacks, Ruobai finally tore through Min Shenghao's defense. With a side kick and a reverse kick, he kicked Min Shenghao's chest hard! 2:1. "Crack ─ ─ ─ ─!" Near the end of the second round, Ruobai once again found a loophole in Min Shenghao's counterattack, turned around and kicked, and kicked Min Shenghao again! The score is locked at 3:1 The most difficult game was the third game. Ruobai's physical strength dropped sharply as Baicao feared, and even with all his strength, he couldn't jump up again. Min Shenghao, who was behind in the score, turned from defense to offense, and the offense was like the waves of the sea, one wave after another violently!And Ruobai turned from offense to defense. Although his pace and rhythm slowed down a bit, and the strength of his legs was greatly weakened, he defended firmly and did not give Min Shenghao any chance to score. It turned out to be like this. Baicao held her breath and looked at Chu Yuan, who was beside her with a solemn expression. Because he knew that Senior Brother Ruobai's physical strength would not be able to last for too long, so he let Senior Brother Ruobai, who has always defended steadily, launch a fierce attack first, hoping to score first. to the end. just- Can Senior Brother Ruobai hold on? From such a long distance, she could also see that Ruobai's complexion was getting paler, his dry lips were extremely tight, and during the occasional attack, she even heard him coughing a few times in a low voice. Suddenly, at the moment when Senior Brother Ruobai was coughing and panting slightly, Min Shenghao yelled, jumped up into the air, and kicked his left leg diagonally upwards! what! Baicao turned pale with fright, her heart was about to burst! "Crack─────────!" That sound was like thunder, as if the flesh was being kicked apart, and it hit Ruobai's jaw hard, Ruobai was kicked so that his whole face was turned upside down!That kick was so powerful that Ruobai couldn't control his body, "bang", "bang", "bang", "bang", he fell backwards! "Be careful—!" Seeing that Ruobai was about to fall off the sideline and off the stage, Baicao shuddered and screamed! The sun shines like glass. The moment he stepped on the sideline, Ruobai stiffened and stopped abruptly!Baicao tightly covered her mouth, her eyes felt hot, something astringent and hot was stuck in her throat, and Chu Yuan let out a heavy sigh of relief at the same time. "Scared to death..." Xiaoying choked with sobs, Lin Feng and the others were so shocked that they were sweating all over, Yifeng had long since lost his lazy look, and remained silent, with a serious expression. 3:2. Min Seung-ho pulled back a point. Ruobai tried his best to support himself and walked towards the center of the venue, just after taking two steps, he stopped abruptly.His face was pale, his brows were wrinkled, he coughed heavily, and clenched his teeth tightly. "What, what's the matter... Brother Ruobai suffered internal injuries..." Xiaoying grabbed Baicao's hands tremblingly, but found that Baicao's hands were colder than hers. She was taken aback, and turned her head to look, and saw Baicao's eyes were frightened and her face was snow-white. "It's okay." Xiaoying laughed a few times, and tried to comfort Baicao, "Senior Brother Ruobai is very, very good! What is Min Shenghao, he is no match for Senior Brother Ruobai!" Baicao didn't hear what Xiaoying was saying at all. Her ears were buzzing, and in her eyes, she could only see Ruobai who was continuing to compete. She had been practicing taekwondo since she was seven years old, and she had never had a match that made her so terrified.She had completely stopped thinking about whether Ruobai would win, she only hoped that Ruobai would not get hurt!Don't get kicked by Min Seung Ho again!Ruobai wants to be good! "Crack!" With a horizontal kick, Min Shenghao kicked Ruobai's left arm! "Crack!" With a back kick, Min Shenghao's right foot kicked hard, Ruobai shouted loudly, jumped up, and kicked Min Shenghao hard with his left leg! Time passed so long. Every minute and every second seemed to freeze. "Shhhhh!" When the referee finally blew the whistle to stop the game, Anyang's players jumped up and screamed and cheered, but there was no sound at Changhai Gymnasium.This team challenge was actually won by the Anyang team from China with a record of three wins and two losses. Baicao only has Ruobai in her eyes. At the moment the whistle blew, she had rushed to the stage. In the midsummer valley, the breeze was blowing, Min Shenghao had already left, Ruobai stood alone on the mat, his body was drenched in sweat, he coughed softly. "Brother—!" Familiar voice, the girl held his arm, her voice was trembling slightly, and the freshness of green grass entered his breath.His chest stagnated, and he coughed again angrily, looking into her big and bright eyes like a deer. "Hahahaha──!" "Hahahaha──!" In the dormitory in the courtyard, Xiaoying laughed wildly. She had never been so proud in her life.What's the point of defeating Xianwu Daoguan, now they have even defeated Changhai Daoguan!Three victories in five games, and all the winners are from the disciples of Songbai Gymnasium!Senior Brother Yifeng defeated Park Zhenen, Baicao defeated Jin Minzhu, Senior Brother Ruobai was the most amazing, even defeated the newly-promoted World Youth Championship champion Min Shenghao! "Hahahaha──!" "Hahahaha──!" To dominate the world, who can give up me!The sun rises in the east, and I am the only one who is undefeated!Xiaoying pinched her waist with both hands, and smiled triumphantly! "Enough is enough." Lin Feng said without raising his head while sending a text message on his mobile phone: "There are so many national team members living in this yard, and you laugh so wildly. Be careful spreading the word that we are arrogant." "Cut, if you are arrogant, you are arrogant," Xiaoying raised her head high, "Only those with strength have the capital to be arrogant." "That's what Jin Minzhu likes to hear." Mei Ling snickered while eating snacks. "Huh," Xiaoying rolled her eyes, "Speaking of Jin Minzhu, she lost to Baicao, she should confess to Baicao with her father and apologize, and swear never to speak ill of Master Baicao again, why haven't you seen them come over?" "That's right." The potato chips stopped in mid-air, and Mei Ling frowned, "No way, they feel ashamed, so they plan to deny it." Guangya sat silently in the corner. "Probably not." Lin Feng put down the phone and thought for a while, "It was agreed in front of all the campers from all over the world. Jin Yishan is also a master of a generation. If he does something like this, it will be even more embarrassing. .” "Hey, I want to see how they apologize," Xiaoying began to imagine various scenes, "I don't know if they will kneel down, hey..." "Where's Baicao?" Mei Ling suddenly remembered, "I don't think I saw her after the competition." "What do you think?" Xiaoying blinked strangely. "..." Mei Ling opened her mouth wide suddenly, "You mean, at Ruobai's place?" She moved forward excitedly, "Xiaoying, are you serious, is Baicao really dating Ruobai?" "Hey Hey." "Don't talk nonsense," Lin Feng glared at Xiaoying, "guessing all day long, if you guess wrong, it will embarrass Ruobai and Baicao in the future." Xiaoying pursed her mouth aggrievedly. Where was she guessing? Senior brother Ruobai has given so much to Baicao, and the two of them spend almost every day together, more time than she spends with Baicao.Baicao also cares about Senior Brother Ruobai so much. The game ended just now, and everyone hugged together to celebrate excitedly, but Baicao's first move was to rush to the stage to take care of Senior Brother Ruobai. Baicao must be with Senior Brother Ruobai right now. "The body temperature is still very high, you must rest immediately." In the boys' dormitory in the courtyard, Kou Zhen and Shen Bo went out, Yi Feng went to fetch water and hadn't returned yet, Chu Yuan checked the temperature on the thermometer, it was 39 degrees 5.Sitting cross-legged on the tatami, Ruobai looked better than when the game just ended. He looked at Chuyuan and said, "I'm fine, thank you for letting me play." Chuyuan shook his head and said, "I shouldn't have agreed with you to go." "How many chances are there?" Ruobai said calmly, "Being able to fight Min Shenghao, there will be something to remember in the future." Chuyuan's hand paused, and he slowly put away the thermometer. "Ruobai, as long as your illness can be controlled, it's not what you think..." "Duk! Tuk!" There was a knock on the door. "Come in." Chuyuan said warmly. As soon as the door opened, Baicao was standing there nervously, her face flushed slightly, and she stared at Ruobai in the room intently.Ruobai looked at her, then looked away indifferently.Her eyes dimmed for a moment, she also looked away, and saw Chu Yuan next to her. "Senior Brother Chuyuan," she saluted to Chuyuan, and when she saw the thermometer in his hand, she asked anxiously, "Does Brother Ruobai still have a fever?" "Well, the body temperature hasn't dropped yet." "how many degree?" "More than 39 degrees." "..." She opened her mouth anxiously, but Ruobai's indifference made her dare not say anything, so she had to look back at Chuyuan again, "Has senior brother Ruobai taken his medicine?" Chuyuan smiled and said, "Go and ask him." The sun was gradually setting, Ruobai slightly closed his eyes and sat leaning against the window, his expression was tired, as if he was about to fall asleep, but his whole body exuded an aura of being thousands of miles away from others. "...I have some anti-fever medicine and cold medicine here." She hesitated, took out the medicine bag in her hand, and said in a lower voice, "Senior brother Chuyuan, see if these are suitable for use." "Well," Chuyuan picked up the two packs of medicine, noncommittal, "Let me here first, and I will give it to Ruobai when needed." She was startled, a thought flashed across her mind: "Didn't Senior Brother Ruobai have a cold?" Chu Yuan didn't answer her right away, he seemed to think about it, and turned his gaze to Ruobai, Ruobai slowly opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other.Seeing the two of them like this, Baicao suddenly panicked: "Isn't it a cold? What kind of disease is that? What's wrong with Senior Brother Ruobai?" "... The white moon shines on both ends of the horizon in my heart but not by my side I can't wipe away your tears ..." Suddenly, the music on the phone rang, and Baicao fumbled out the phone in a panic, and Ting Hao's bright smiling face shone on the screen.Still worried about Ruobai's illness, but the music kept playing, she bit her lip and pressed the reject button. "Senior Brother Ruobai..." If it's not a cold, then what serious illness is it?Why did Senior Brother Chuyuan's expression look a little dignified? There was a surge of fear in her heart. "... The white moon shines on both ends of the horizon ..." After a pause of only a second, the phone rang again. "Pick it up." Rubbing between his brows, Chuyuan smiled, "If you don't answer, Ting Hao will keep calling." He might even call his cell phone to find her. Baicao had no choice but to press the answer button. "Stinky girl, how dare you pinch my phone!" Ting Hao's voice, which seemed to be angry but not angry, came from the phone. The voice was quite loud, and Baicao looked at Chuyuan and Ruobai in embarrassment. With a curved smile, Ruobai closed his eyes again. Before she could answer, Ting Hao asked, "Is the game over?" "Well, it's over." "Have you defeated Kim Min Joo?" "defeated." "Did you play well?" "Uh……" "Did you kick her off the stage?" "... kicked down." Baicao's face was redder than before. He laughed loudly, as if he was very happy that his guesses got the expected answers. It seemed that he was laughing while walking, and someone on the phone was wondering why he was laughing. "OK, that's it, have a good dream tonight." Ting Hao didn't continue talking, but before hanging up, he finally added viciously, "Don't pinch my phone again!" There was a moment of silence in the house. Baicao put the phone away, and for some reason, suddenly felt uneasy. "You go out." Ruobai's voice was tired, and he gave her the order to evict her. "..." Her face was snow-white for a while, and then "brushed" red, even the roots of her ears were red.Although his tone was very light, she could hear the boredom in his words. "I do not want to see you." Ruobai's expressionless words sent her into a cold deep well.Baicao was stunned, all the words that she wanted to admit to him were all stuck in her throat, she stammered but couldn't say anything: "I...I..." Yifeng was returning with a thermos bottle of boiling water. Seeing the situation in the room, Yifeng didn't say anything, he put down the thermos, poured a glass of water, went straight to Ruobai, and took care of him. "Let Ruobai rest first." Chuyuan came over, grabbed Baicao's shoulders, led her to the door, and said, "Wait for Ruobai to recover, and then see if there is anything we can do to help." The sunset is reflected in the sky. Baicao, who returned to the dormitory, sat silently in the corner, and Guangya, who was as silent as an invisible person, looked up at her.Xiaoying, Mei Ling, and Lin Feng looked at each other, they looked at each other, they knew each other well, it seemed that Ruobai still didn't forgive Baicao, which made her so devastated. "Ah, Baicao, did you call?" Xiaoying asked cheerfully, rolling her eyes. "Phone?" Baicao didn't understand. "Call your master and tell him that you have defeated Jin Minzhu! Knowing that you are going to compete with Jin Minzhu and making such an agreement, your master must be very worried and anxious." "hinder……" right. Baicao took out her phone in shame, only caring about Senior Brother Ruobai's condition, she actually forgot about it.Although international long-distance calls are definitely expensive, it would be nice to reassure Master one minute earlier.Her fingers eagerly pressed a few numbers, then she paused, then turned her head and asked cautiously: "Guangya, let's make this call together, shall we?" Just like the wooden man, Guangya didn't speak, and she didn't seem to hear at all.Seeing Guangya's expression more often since childhood, Baicao breathed a sigh of relief, moved closer to her, and dialed the phone at a distance where she could hear the voice. The leaves of the plum trees rustled in the evening wind. On the other end of the phone, Baicao's half-excited and half-uneasy voice came. She defeated Jin Minzhu.Qu Xiangnan let out a long sigh. "Master?" Baicao's voice on the phone immediately became more nervous, as if there was a hint of panic. "I'm sorry... Master... I... I know... I was too impulsive and reckless... I will never..." "Baicao, you are a good boy." Qu Xiangnan said slowly with the faint fragrance of leaves in the air. Moist mist of tears welled up mistyly. Clutching the phone blankly, Baicao stared blankly at the tatami under her body, her chest heaving violently, unable to speak for a long time, the soft sound of the evening wind blowing leaves came from the phone. "Guang Ya... Does she adapt to the Korean environment?" Qu Xiangnan's voice could be heard clearly in the room, Baicao hesitated, and handed the phone to Guangya.Guangya's complexion suddenly turned white, she glared at Baicao with her big black eyes, and then swung her head away. "...Guangya is fine," Baicao tried her best to say in a cheerful voice while looking at Guangya's back, "Master, don't worry, she's not sick, she's not acclimatized, and she even took time to go to the city and had a good time." !" Guangya pursed her lips tightly. "Baicao, take care of her outside, Guangya has a stubborn temper..." Accompanied by a few coughs with heavy lung sounds, Qu Xiangnan's voice sounded a little old. call ended. Lin Feng dragged Xiaoying and Mei Ling out, leaving Baicao and Guangya sitting there silently.After a while, Baicao took a breath and said to Guangya's back: "Master really can't be that kind of person." Baicao said solemnly: "I have been with Master since I was a child and was raised by Master. I know better than anyone what kind of person Master is. I can use my life to assure you that Master will never do what you think of those things." After a while, Guangya turned her head back, her lips were pursed white, her eyes fixed on Baicao, and she said, "Why should I believe you? I hate him, and I hate you too!" Baicao's eyes dimmed. "I only trust my own ears," Guangya snorted coldly, and raised her head, "When I return to China, I will ask him in person to hear what he has to say." Baicao stared at her blankly, a little unable to react and a little unbelievable, she said nervously: "Guangya..." Glancing at Baicao who suddenly looked stupid, Guangya blushed, and then gave her a more vicious look: "You can be even more stupid!" "Cut, Guangya, you can be more awkward! You know that Baicao is stupid, but she still says such cryptic words, she can't understand at all, okay?" Xiaoying burst into disdain from the corner outside the window, "You should directly Tell Baicao, you plan to confirm this matter with Master Qu Xiangnan after you go back, and listen to Master Qu Xiangnan's explanation, instead of guessing by yourself like before. If you say that, Baicao will be able to listen Got it!" Guangya looked embarrassed. These few people didn't leave, they were listening to the corner. "Haha," Mei Ling happily pushed open the door and rushed in, "You guys are finally reconciled, it's really not easy." "It's pretty much the same. We're in the same team, and we're awkward all day long, which makes people uncomfortable." Lin Feng went to the window sill to pick up the lunch box, "Okay, let's eat together." "It's Guangya who is awkward, okay, don't wrong our family's Baicao," Xiaoying said with a playful smile, and gave Guangya a sneaky look, "Since we have reconciled, we are not allowed to bully Baicao again in the future, do you hear me?" Guangya stares back. The two stared at each other crackling in the air. "time to eat!" Lin Feng angrily knocked on the heads of the two of them with the lunch box, then pulled up Baicao, who was as silly as in a dream, and walked away. Great atmosphere after dinner. Campers from other countries came to visit, and the girls were all very interested in Baicao, who had just defeated Jin Minzhu. They surrounded her and communicated in proficient or half-understood English on twitter.Ruan Xiumei also came, and she seemed to be in much better spirits.She told Baicao that she plans to participate in the next best camper selection competition. Although she may be at the bottom of the list, she is very happy to have one more round of competition with everyone. Chatting in the room was in full swing. Yifeng knocked on the door. He stood at the door and motioned for Baicao to come out. "Ruobai's fever hasn't subsided yet," Yifeng told her without waiting for Baicao to ask, opened the door, and led her into their dormitory, "I think, you should want to see him." On beige tatami mats. Ruobai was falling asleep. He was pale and covered with a thick quilt. "Why hasn't the fever subsided? Didn't you take medicine?" Hurriedly lying down next to Ruobai, Baicao's face immediately turned pale when she touched his hot palm. The temperature of that palm was scalding hot, nearly 40 degrees Celsius. "I've already taken the medicine, but I can't sweat, and the fever doesn't go away." Yifeng knelt beside him with a solemn expression. "Where's Senior Brother Chuyuan?" She held Ruobai's hand tightly, and asked anxiously. "Chuyuan said that as long as the fever subsides, there will be no major problems. He was still here just now, and someone came and called him away." The back of her hand was pressed against Ruobai's forehead. 同样滚烫的温度！ “让若白师兄多喝些开水呢？”她强迫自己镇定下来。只要能出汗，就能退烧，她以前发烧的时候，师父总是让她一杯又一杯地喝水。 “已经喝了好几杯了。”亦枫皱眉摇头。 “他吃饭了吗？” “没有。他说没有胃口，然后就睡下了。” “这样不行，若白师兄需要喝些淡盐水，否则身体会没有力气。”她努力想着当时师父住院时，学到的那些知识。 从暖壶中倒出一杯开水，往里面撒些盐粒，等白色的颗粒化开，水温稍微不那么烫，亦枫扶起若白，百草端起杯子，小心翼翼地凑到他的唇边。 “若白，喝点水。”亦枫低声喊他。 若白的睫毛淡淡地映在苍白的面容上，牙关却闭得很紧，水杯完全无法送进去。 “若白。”亦枫又喊了几声。 若白还是双眼闭着，昏昏沉沉。 “你来喊。”亦枫命令她。 她一愣，她还记得傍晚的时候若白师兄说过不想看到她。亦枫扫她一眼，她只得忐忑地喊：“若白师兄……” 极轻微的，在苍白的面颊上，他的睫毛竟动了动。她心中一喜，接着轻声喊：“若白师兄，喝一点淡盐水……” 眼睛缓慢地睁开，被亦枫扶坐在床榻上，高烧中的若白迷茫地望着她，眼神有些不太清醒。 “师兄，喝水。” 百草小心地将水杯凑到他唇边，喂他一口一口地喝下去。最后一口喝水，她松了口气，同亦枫一起轻轻扶着若白重新躺下。 “好了，师兄，你继续睡吧。”她轻声说。 “你……”躺在枕头上，若白继续望着她。 “……我……我是百草。”她有些紧张地说。 “嗯。”若白闭上眼睛，在她身旁静静地睡去了，他的嘴唇干涸苍白，脸颊却似乎红润了一点点。 The night was getting darker. 百草跪坐在若白身旁，用被子把他掖得严严实实。一个小时过去了，他依旧昏睡着，眉心蹙在一起，偶尔有很轻的呻吟。她心中焦急，用手试了试他的额头，还是火烫火烫！ “我去煮姜汤！” 留下亦枫照顾若白，她飞快地冲出去，找到食堂的厨房，跟值班的人用不太熟练的韩语边说边比划了半天，终于找到材料，煮了一锅浓浓的姜汤，一路跑着飞快地端回来。 同前面一样喊醒若白。 她喂他喝下满满一碗姜汤。 眼睛不敢眨地守着，她焦急不安，如果若白还不退烧，就必须要找到初原，看要不要送他去医院。 不知是药物终于起了效果，还是那碗姜汤的作用，若白的额头渐渐布起一层细细的汗珠，体温开始往下走了。百草让亦枫也去休息一会儿，自己继续守着若白。 病中的若白不像平时那样冷静自律，正在出汗的他，手脚不时地从被子中伸出来，百草急忙帮他放回去，盖好。没一会儿，他又迷迷糊糊地伸出来。 他出了很多汗。 百草一遍遍用拧干的温毛巾帮他擦去脸上和脖颈处的汗水，让他能舒服些。 到夜里十一点左右的时候，若白的高烧基本全都退了下去。亦枫歪在一边的榻榻米上睡着了，百草正发呆地望着沉睡中的若白，房门静静地被推开，初原进来了。 “烧退了就好。”初原摸了摸若白的额头，然后他告诉百草，他马上还要再出去，到十二点钟的时候，她要记得喂若白吃放在窗台上的四包药，剂量他已经写在药包外面了。 “出了什么事？”百草急忙问。 初原摇摇头，苦笑。 傍晚的时候，民载带申波和寇震去市区观光，晚饭后将他们带到了一家酒吧，正好碰到警察临检，搜出酒吧里有人买卖摇头丸。申波他们也被一同带走了，协助调查。 百草惊住：“会很严重吗？” “别担心，”初原对她笑一笑，“已经调查清楚了，申波、寇震、民载都跟这件事没有任何牵涉，只是需要走相关的手续，把他们从警局带出来。” “那……那你快去吧！” “嗯，”初原的脚步又停下来，揉揉她的头发，“好好照顾若白，但是自己也别累坏了。” “是。”她应声。 看到她满眼担心，却努力做出精神满面的样子，初原凝视了她几秒钟，满屋寂静中，他俯下身，在她额头轻轻吻了一下，说：“放心吧。” 她的眼睛霍然睁得大大的，初原唇角弯起，离开了房间。 "cough!" 睡梦中的亦枫适时翻了个身，咳嗽一声，眼皮似撩非撩，瞟了站在屋子中央呆若木鸡的百草一眼。如梦初醒，百草登时面红耳赤，手忙脚乱地拿起榻榻米上的毛巾，在洗脸盆上边拧边继续发呆了几秒钟，深吸口气，回到沉睡的若白身旁。 Twelve o'clock at night. 百草准时去倒水，拿起药包，按照一个个药袋上写明的剂量倒出药片，她心下一怔，四种药合起来足足有十二片之多，感冒需要吃这么多药吗？ “师兄，吃药了。” 轻声唤醒若白，她伸手去扶他。若白的眼睛睁开，目光从昏沉到清醒，在她面容上停留几秒，然后他自己撑着坐起来，一手拿过水杯，一手接过药片，他看也没有看她，神色淡漠地仰头吃了下去。 她想扶他躺回去。 格开她的手，他自己缓缓躺回去。 她怔怔地看着他。 前几天还不是这样的，虽然他一贯淡淡的，可是她觉得和他是那样的近，除了师父和晓萤，他是和她最近的人。而现在，他讨厌她了，将她隔在遥远的距离之外。 “怎么还不走。” 夜风从窗户吹进来一些，空气中带着青草淡淡的味道，月光也是淡淡的，就像若白此刻的声音。躺在枕头上，他的面色依旧有些苍白，眉心蹙起，仿佛有些等得不耐烦了。 “我说过，不想看见你。”若白闭上眼睛。 “我……”她的手指蜷缩起来，狼狈地想要立时起身，又看到亦枫正酣然大睡，“……等你病好了，我马上就走。” “我已经好了。” “……”她哑口失措。 他闭目沉默着，似在等她尽快走开。 “我知道，你在生气……”百草嗫嚅地说。从小到大，虽然几乎没有人跟她玩，道馆里的孩子们总是欺负她，师父对她很严厉，可是，她从来没有向谁道歉过。“……是我太莽撞，太冲动，在那样的场面去质疑金一山大师……” “在比赛之前，你确信你一定可以打败金敏珠？”若白打断她，声音淡淡的。 她怔了怔，摇头：“……没有。” “如果败给金敏珠，你会向金一山下跪道歉？” “……”她咬住嘴唇。 “如果败给金敏珠，你会从此退出跆拳道？” “……”嘴唇被咬得发白。 “回答我！会，还是不会！”若白声音肃冷。 “不会！我不会向金一山道歉！更不会下跪！”她的身体僵住，双手在身侧握成拳，“我就算是死，也不会那样做！” “那你为什么要跟金敏珠下那样的赌注！”若白声音冰冷，“既然赌了，你就要想到输掉的后果，而一旦输了，你就必须信守承诺！” “我不会输，我也没有输！”握紧双拳，她坚声说。她会拼死一战，哪怕是会死在赛台上，也绝不会败给金敏珠！ 长长地吸一口气，若白压抑着咳嗽了几声，再看向她时，他的眼底已是冰寒一片。 “好，我听出来了。假设你输了，你不会向金一山下跪道歉，但是，你却可以从此退出跆拳道，对吗？” 她沉默地低下头。 “难道，跆拳道对你而言，是仅仅为了一场意气之争就可以放弃的事情？”他的声音更加严厉。 “不是！”她的脸涨得通红，“可是，如果我连自己的师父都保护不了，我练跆拳道还有什么意义！” “戚百草……”若白闭上眼睛，“……你为什么要练跆拳道？” 两年前，她问过他这句话，现在他也想知道她的回答。 "..." 她愣住，她从没想过这个问题。 “原来，是为了保护你的师父，你才要练跆拳道。”若白的声音变得极淡，“那么，为你的师父而开始，也为你的师父而结束，倒也是顺理成章的事情。” 她呆呆地看着他。 “很好，”他疲倦地说，“你走吧，这里有亦枫。” 那边，传来亦枫打哈欠伸懒腰的声音。他睡眼惺忪地爬起来，到窗边拎了拎暖壶，边往门口走，边说：“没水了，我去打一壶，百草，麻烦你再帮我看一会儿若白！” The room was very still. 若白躺在枕头上，唇片依旧苍白干涸，他闭着眼睛，仿佛已睡去。百草呆呆地跪坐着，她看到被子没有将他的左腿盖好，却不敢去碰到他。 “可能是吧……”涩涩地，她的声音很低很低。 “小时候，我发现，只要我很用功地在练习跆拳道，师父就会开心，连饭也会多吃一些。师父不在意别人嘲笑他，辱骂他，只在意我的体能和腿法有没有进步。” “我……我想让师父能高兴一点……” 眉心皱了皱，若白沉默地躺着。 “师父希望，我有一天能够成为了不起的跆拳道选手，能够站在光芒万丈的巅峰，”她怔怔地说，“我……我也这样希望，所以我很努力，所以，吃再多苦我也不怕……” “我知道，这样不对……”她黯然低下头，终于还是鼓起勇气为他将被子拉好，“……应该是因为喜欢跆拳道，才去练跆拳道，而不应该是由于别的原因。” 亦枫打水回来了。 “若白师兄，对不起。” 在米黄色的榻榻米上，百草忍住溢上眼底的潮湿，趴下身去深深对他行了礼，然后默默走出去。 屋门关上。 若白睁开眼睛，他面色苍白，眼神凝黑，沉默地望着屋顶木梁，手握成拳，掩住嘴唇，一阵阵地咳嗽。 亦枫倒了杯开水，放在他手边。 过了一会儿，亦枫倚在墙边，说：“她可真傻，为了她师父，可以哪怕从此退出跆拳道。而为了你──” 伸个懒腰，亦枫说：“为了给你拿药，又差点错过对她而言那么重要的比赛。这种人太笨了，跆拳道练再久也成不了气候，我看往后你就别在她身上浪费太多精力。” 再看了眼身旁似乎睡去的若白，亦枫哈欠着，也倚着墙壁打起瞌睡来。
