During the Snowstorm

Chapter 37: Return of the King (1)

one year later.

Airport terminal.

At the exit, Yin Guo put his suitcase at hand, and sat on the right side of the empty seat, the innermost one. She was the only one who just got off the plane of the people who were sitting in scattered rows to pick up the plane.

She was looking at the time on her phone, and it was still early.

The flight he took had no satellite wifi, and the Internet could not be reached. She could only use the passage of time to calculate where he had flown and how long it would take to land in China.

Lin Yiyang is coming back, completely returning to the country.

Yin Guo was not the only contestant who came back from that flight. Everyone pulled their luggage and walked out of the exit, talking in low voices and laughing. Most of the men didn't change their clothes. They also wore the makeup of the game, and made up a few bunches, some with club boxes in their hands, and some on the suitcases, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

In the end, the referees in plain clothes and full of sports uniforms came out. These referees all require suits and leather shoes on the field, standing all day long, they are exhausted, so they are the fastest to change clothes after leaving the field.

Among the seven or eight referees, the leader of the referee team, Lin Lin, was at the forefront. Because she underwent a major surgery to recover for a whole year, this is the first time she has been sentenced from beginning to end after her sick leave.

Lin Lin quickly saw Yin Guo in the corner.

This is a rookie king who has risen rapidly in the domestic nine-ball, eight-ball and world fancy nine-ball rankings after only one year of debut. Her eyes are very large, but because she lowered her head, she was blocked by the bangs that slid in front of her. She was wearing a pea-pink hoodie and white jeans, her legs were crossed, and she sat obediently on the chair, holding her phone and staring at the screen. .

Lin Lin guessed that she was distracted and knew that she was waiting for someone.

In the next few hours, there will be many people arriving at this airport, coming to this exit, and picking up the same person.

"I haven't said hello yet, Lin Lin."

Yin Guo raised his eyes and smiled at her: "We met in Hangzhou." How could the boss of the referee team not know each other.

"It's different," Lin Lin smiled, "I'm Lin Lin from Dongxincheng, my buddy who grew up with Lin Yiyang."

Yin Guo smiled and shook hands with the other party.

It felt like Lin Lin's grip was quite strong. It was the kind of close handshake that seemed to meet family members.

The relationship between the two seemed to be drawn closer.

"I heard that you had a major surgery? You just came back and brought such a big game, can you bear it?" Yin Guo chatted softly after Lin Lin was seated.

"It's okay. Actually, I still want to take a month off, but this Open is too important, and the rest is not allowed."

The two said two more words without pain.

Lin Lin suddenly made a joke of Lin Yiyang and asked her, "Tell me quietly, did Lin Yiyang owe usury in the United States? So crazy this time?"

When Yin Guo heard this, he immediately understood.

It is said that his ranking has been soaring, and his ability to sweep bonuses is also eye-popping. It has been estimated that his prize money in major events, combined in pounds and dollars, has accumulated two million dollars.

As a Chinese player temporarily living abroad, he emerged out of thin air last year, fighting alone and appearing in major international events, not only snooker games, as long as the schedule date does not collide with snooker, even nine goals and eight goals The game is also not missed, which is very rare.

Some nine-ball players like to take into account the eight-ball, but they rarely come with snooker. Lin Yiyang is too rare.

When a capable person is at a low point, there is another more appropriate term called the dormant period.

In the long ten years, he has not put down his clubs a day, rain or shine, constant illness, and always has a table to accompany him. He may have hidden himself for a long time, but he never gave up what he loved in this life.

***

on another flight.

The lights in the cabin were all off, and the windows were all turned dark blue by the captain.

Ninety percent of the passengers fell asleep.

Lin Yiyang came out of the bathroom and saw that a few passengers were still watching a movie. He returned to his seat, and the big boy next door, Sun Yaoman, woke up halfway through his sleep.

"Sister-in-law must be here to pick him up, right?" Sun Yao hugged the quilt, leaned there lazily and asked him, "Last time I saw you at the Open, I almost forgot what it looked like."

"Not necessarily in time," he said.

Before boarding the plane, Yin Guo was still playing, and the two didn't have time to talk.

Lin Yiyang put on his earphones, picked them up, and found an old literary film to watch. The soundtrack of the subtitles at the beginning is very clean, the guitar strings are plucked, the drums are playing behind the back, and the faint guitar sound gradually grows louder, as if the sky and the cabin are tens of thousands of feet high.

In the past year, Yin Guo was ill several times without telling him, and once the high fever did not go away for three days. There was a time when Wu Wei heard something from someone from Beicheng. When he asked her, her first reaction was to comfort him nervously: "I didn't have you before, and I was sick myself. Just take medicine."

In the end, she whispered two words of coquettishness, saying that she missed him very much, the video looked fake, and she almost forgot what he was like in real life.

It took them 362 days to come to Plato, the text and voice came in turns, and the video did not stop, but they actually met twice, before and after their birthdays.

On Yin Guo's birthday, she was going to spend her time with her family, but she was surprised by Lin Yiyang. She made up a lie and said that she was celebrating her birthday with her college classmates, and flew to the hotel where Lin Yiyang was staying.

It was the first time the two met after they separated from the United States. They both missed each other so much and were very impulsive to do something, but she just happened to be inconvenient. On that day, the torture of missing each other for a long time made them more like netizens who had been dating online for a long time and didn't know each other.

Seeing each other at first glance, they were rusty and speechless. For the first ten minutes, one of them sat on the sofa and the other sat at the desk, chatting messy things, only about the Sino-US relations in the news broadcast...

In the end, I didn't know why. Not to mention her, Lin Yiyang himself would be in a trance, this is really his girlfriend.

It feels too strange, like hugging a strange girl. The two did everything possible to please each other that day. It's like proving that you see that I still love you, and it's like trying to prove that you still love me.

Even if life moves forward, there will be countless excellent men and women around, all of whom just love you.

That night, Yin Guo was reluctant to go home, and was always playing with the thin cocoon in his palm. Lin Yiyang was amused and laughed, thinking, how did he pick up such a big baby.

Later, on Lin Yiyang's birthday, Yin Guo was in Singapore according to the schedule. He did not rest for a minute after the game, ended the game alone from Singapore, and flew to Washington to meet him.

The two of them didn't go anywhere, they just stayed in Lin Yiyang's apartment for two whole days, except for a trip to the supermarket, they made their own meals. The two of them were crazy in those two days, doing everything from the bed to the bookshelf, even on the windowsill. Later, the room was in a mess, Yin Guo felt that he couldn't look at the sheets, so while he went to buy dinner, he washed the sheets by hand, and washed all his dirty clothes by hand, before letting Lin Yiyang take them to the laundry room Machine dry.

Before taking her to the airport, Yin Guo wanted to cook him a meal and asked him what he liked to eat.

Lin Yiyang replied: Tomato braised noodles.

Yin Guo is much younger than him, and has never eaten the noodles that the older generation was keen to make in the era of poor materials. After fiddling for a long time, he really made it. The chopsticks stirred it evenly and gave him several mouthfuls. Finally staring at him, watching him leave the apartment reluctantly after eating the last noodle. Before leaving, she took his white T-shirt away, leaving behind a new black T-shirt with the same letter design that she bought.

Later, when he re-laid the dried sheets, he realized that the stupid Yin Guo just stared at the sheets, forgetting that the quilt covers and pillowcases had been tossed so hard that they could no longer be used.

He wanted to wash, but he didn't want to, so he just touched the smell left by her, and after washing it, it was gone.

***

Yin Guo and Lin Lin were the first to arrive.

After eleven o'clock, Wu Wei drove Chen An'an and Fan Wen to the scene in a hurry, and about half an hour later, Jiang Yang's plane also landed. The former brothers, no matter the current club boss, the coaching staff boss, or the well-known players who are still in the game, all gathered in Terminal 3 this late night.

Yin Guo was the youngest of the group.

When everyone was chatting, Wu Wei was afraid that she would feel unfamiliar, so at Jiang Yang's instruction, he sat next to Yin Guo and spoke with her.

What was said at first was irrelevant. Later, Wu Wei coughed twice: "Does your family know about the existence of Lin Yiyang?"

Yin Guo shook his head, also worried.

My cousin gave her an opinion, don't mention it before Lin Yiyang returns to China, and try not to make trouble ahead of time. After returning to China, find a suitable opportunity, Meng Xiaodong intends to come forward in person, and even ask his father to come forward to intercede with Lin Yiyang.

"You know, right? Your mother was the referee and the leader of the association back then."

"Well," she nodded, "I also know that Mr. He was upset with him and my mother. If Mr. He hadn't been there, he would have been suspended for a year...more than half a year."

"Really?" Wu Wei was surprised.

"You don't know?" She was also surprised.

"How do I know that?" One is the leader of the association, and the other is an old gentleman with high morals in the club. How could the quarrel between the two be known to the few players who were still fledgling back then.

Yin Guo was right when she thought about it, even her cousin listened to her, and she listened to her parents chatting...

Lin Yiyang started to come back this year, and his family didn't mention it much. Yin Guo's father also engaged in sports in his early years. Later, he went to the sea to do business and made a lot of money, but he still had his old ideals in his heart. Parents mentioned Lin Yiyang and said those words, if Yin Guo didn't know him, he would definitely think that he is a man who is lawless, arrogant, loves money like his life, and has no sports and competitive spirit.

"He's miserable." Wu Wei sighed softly.

It's miserable in all aspects. First, Yin Guo's family can't accept a few layers of skin. Second, Yin Guo's mother is rising step by step. She has long since gone to the Sports Bureau to be a leader, and she wants to develop in the country.

Yin Guo could actually guess that Lin Yiyang played outside this year just to avoid confronting conflicts before he got good results and capital. But Yin Guo knows her parents, and good grades are nothing, especially the relatives at Yin Guo's mother's house, most of whom are involved in sports. No matter how good and good grades they have, they are not rare in this family. Including Yin Guo himself, he would get medals every time in the open competition, and he had no chance to be praised at home.

The two have never exchanged this topic.

She didn't want him to face pressure as soon as he returned to China. Some things should be dealt with when they had to be resolved.

More than three in the morning.

The flight landed at the airport with a delay of ten minutes.

Yin Guo and everyone were waiting for the exit.

At this time, there were not as many people waiting outside the exit as during the day, and everyone stood in a row outside the silver fence. Yin Guo picked a position with the best angle, where he could see the customs security checker, and the luggage belt in the distance...

Gradually, more and more people came out, and they were all from this flight.

Among the tired and hurried passengers, Yin Guo quickly recognized Lin Yiyang. His height advantage is obvious. Except for the foreigners who came from the same flight, he is the tallest, wearing a black hat, carrying the sports backpack that has not been changed for ten thousand years, and a black casual top, and walked out of the exit.

He pushed a luggage cart with four suitcases of different sizes for himself and his companions. Each one was splattered and covered with shipping labels, as conspicuous as his intense racing experience over the past year.

When he saw Yin Guo, he slowly stopped.

All the brothers are there, as well as her.

In the crowd, she was leaning on the railing and smiling to herself, only that part of the scene was colored, the rest were all black and white, unimportant. It seems that the bangs have grown longer than the last time, and the hair has also grown. It is almost waist-length and straightened. The bean paste powder hoodie makes the face whiter and smaller. There were tears in her eyes, but a smile on her face.

"Look at Dunset and see his daughter-in-law like that," Fan Wen hurriedly whispered to Chen An'an, "Are all three legs straight?"

Chen Anan glared at Fan Wenchong.

"The girl can't hear you," Fan Wen hurriedly muttered, "I'm keeping my voice low."

The water in Yin Guo's eyes couldn't go down, so he wiped it with the back of his hand, and waved to him while holding the railing up to his chest. Lin Yiyang walked directly in front of her, and wiped her tears across the railing.

The two looked at each other for a long time.

No one spoke first.

"Has anyone been chasing you recently? Tell me." He smiled and asked her in a low voice in front of everyone.

Everyone laughed behind Yin Guo. Still the same.

She said "um", with a strong nasal voice, pretending to cooperate with him easily: "I just don't remember what it looks like, I'm not as handsome as you."

He smiled: "Are you just looking at my face?"

She said "um" again and looked at him, tears began to fall. It's because I'm so excited that I can't control myself. Lin Yiyang saw her smiling and crying with a dull pain in her heart, and gave her a strong hug across the railing.
