Chapter 75

After the league ended, Tao Xihong briefly returned to college life, defending, catching up with dues, and reviewing final exams.Xu Jiangtong had just finished his class and had no urgent tasks at hand, so he was relatively relaxed.

Sometimes Tao Xihong would come to his office, bring some fruit and milk tea, and then lean on his desk, complaining about endless end-of-class reports and school chores.

Xu Jiangtong listened to his complaints while eating fruit. He originally thought that the quiet life would last until the end of the semester. Unexpectedly, one evening half a month later, a good news suddenly came from Gao Xun.

The head coach of the national youth team noticed Tao Xihong's performance in the National League, and based on his performance in the city team in the past few years, he planned to recruit him.

Gao Xun was afraid that Tao Xihong would not be able to make up his mind by himself, so he asked him to come to the office with Xu Jiang.

"Little Tao, congratulations." Gao Xun called them to sit down, "Look at what I said, gold always shines."

Tao Xihong still finds it unbelievable: "Since I asked the coach of the city team, I must know about my past. They still dare to want me after suffering such a serious injury at the age of 19."

"It's not that your injury can't be cured." Gao Xun comforted, "You still insist on recruiting you under such circumstances, which shows that you must have something special."

After speaking, he looked at Xu Jiangtong again: "What does Teacher Xiaojiang think? You...should understand Xiaotao's situation. After all, he is just an adult, so he has to find an adult to help him check it out."

Xu Jiangtong understood what he meant, and lightly patted Tao Xihong's hand: "I will have a serious talk with him."

"There are not many people who can make Xiaotao obedient, so I will be relieved to leave him to you." Gao Xun smiled like an old father, "Give me an answer as soon as possible."

Tao Xihong didn't seem to have recovered yet, and sat on the chair without saying a word.Walking out of the office, Xu Jiangtong took the lead in sending out an invitation: "Come to my house tonight?"

Hearing this, he raised his head and blinked his eyes that were dried by the wind: "Okay."

Tao Xihong hummed and did not continue, and Xu Jiangtong was not in a hurry to ask.It was still dark after returning home, so he made a cocktail and sat in front of the French windows in the living room to watch the sunset.

Tao Xihong tapped his glass: "You're drinking again."

"Isn't it worth celebrating?" Xu Jiangtong raised another glass full of yellow liquid, "eternal, but because of her special color, it is also called the sun that never sets."

There was a strong smell of orange juice in the glass, Tao Xihong took the glass and shook it: "I am not allowed to drink yet?"

Xu Jiangtong smiled and clinked glasses with him: "Only by solving the matter well can you be qualified to be an adult."

Tao Xihong was noncommittal: "If my old injury keeps recurring in the future, can you still watch my game calmly?"

Sure enough, injuries are a topic that athletes cannot escape.Xu Jiangtong took a sip of his wine, looked at the street scene in the evening, and said slowly: "It would be a lie to say that you are not worried. But Xiao Tao, if you want to be the best in any field, you need to pay a price."

"If you enter the company after graduation and want to be promoted as soon as possible, but also need to work overtime and stay up late, I will also worry about you."

"So, you don't have to put my feelings first. Instead, you should ask yourself if you are ready to become a professional gamer."

If it were someone else, the conversation might not go so smoothly.After all, in this busy and complicated world, there are very few people who dare to give up a peaceful life and pursue purity.Fortunately, Xu Jiangtong is one of them.

Tao Xihong wanted to respond to him, but felt that thank you was too thin, and grabbed Xu Jiangtong's lips soaked in "eternity".

Xu Jiangtong raised his head and carefully slowed down his breathing, obviously enjoying it, but he didn't want to show any flaws.

Sweetness and spiciness flow with the breath.Tao Xihong closed his eyes, handed over the connection between the body and the outside world to the senses of touch and smell, and played it fair and square: "Teacher, you are right, I am really too strong for alcohol."

Talking about the last concern, Tao Xihong quickly gave an affirmative answer.

His current state is similar to looking for a job and passing the resume test. Although he was selected by the head coach, there are still many processes to go through.

After communicating with the coach, the person in charge of the national youth team arranged for him to take the written test and physical test together with other candidates.

The exam time is set in mid-June, which almost coincides with the end of the term.After Tao Xihong handed in the course design, he drove to the gymnasium by car, and even memorized the courseware of transportation management on the way.

However, these busy schedules did not disrupt Tao Xihong's schedule.On the contrary, Tao Xihong's ankle got a full rest during the time of reviewing and preparing for the exam.As for the written test questions about volleyball rules, Tao Xihong was able to answer them fluently without reviewing.

In the end, he won the double first place in the written test and interview, and became the best candidate for the National Youth Team.

Before officially signing the contract, Xu Jiangtong discussed Tao Xihong's old injury with the team doctor. The team doctor said that he would invite experts in the industry for further examination, and if necessary, arrange surgery and rehabilitation training as soon as possible.

Due to Tao Xihong's special situation, Xu Jiangtong also logically became his emergency contact.

When I walked out of the gym, it was just in time for the sunset.The whole city was shrouded in warm orange light, just like the cup of eternal they drank by the window half a month ago.

"Entering the national youth team is just the beginning. After leaving the comfort zone of your peers, the game will only become more and more difficult. I hope you can cherish these opportunities."

Xu Jiangtong has always been sympathetic to the language of praise. Although it is said that between lovers, sometimes one look can see through each other's mind, but behind the excitement and pride, there is an emotion that belongs to him alone, which is the continuation of dreams.

Surgery is going to be done in the next chapter. I feel that there is no suspense in this article, and there are about 5 chapters to finish.

Every time I write to the end, I can’t escape the fate of being bored (crying
