Chapter Text
The organizers of the World Invitation Competition did their best. In order to make players from all over the world adapt to food, clothing, housing and transportation, and to avoid being dissatisfied with the water and soil, they specially invited chefs from all over the world to be responsible for the three meals a day. So even players from the Chinese team can have hot porridge or bean curd in Zurich and have a Chinese breakfast.
Weicao and Lan Yu have accumulated resentment on the field, and Wang Jiexi and Huang Shaotian do not deal with each other. After all, they don't know how many times they have died at each other's hands, so they always like to say two words with each other. After breakfast that day, the two of them quarreled over the eternal debate about which sweet and salty bean curd is better.
"Of course, it's sweet bean curd brain! How does the cult of salted bean curd brain exist in this world? Obviously, sweet tofu brain is the truth, okay!? As a G city native, Huang Shaotian has always been a loyal supporter of sweet bean curd brain.
Wang Jiexi wiped his mouth and was not willing to show weakness: "Salted bean curd brain is the best." He is a native of B city and has a special preference for salted bean curd brains and bean juice.
The two of them can't argue with each other. The difference between China's land and the north and the south is quickly revealed at this time. Huang Shaotian had to quickly pull in his teammates: "Old Ye, old leaf! Do you think sweet bean curd brains are delicious or salty bean curd brains?
Compared with G City or City B, H City is located in the south after all, and its taste is relatively close to that of G City, but unfortunately, Ye Xiu is a pure B city. Even though he is thousands of miles away from home, his taste has not changed much for many years. Moreover, he can't actually taste the difference between sweet and salty bean curd.
I only remember that Ye Qiu likes salty food.
When he was four years old, Ye Xiu realized that he was different from everyone else in terms of taste of food. Children like sweets, but the Ye family does not have the habit of giving children snacks, so Ye Xiu's first candy in his life was eaten in kindergarten.
The care fee of his kindergarten is expensive. The sugar is not a handful of inferior milk candy or fruit hard candy for five yuan outside, but the peanut milk candy made by a special dessert chef in the garden. There is not much sugar added. I'm afraid that the children will eat bad teeth and make it soft. Ye Xiu put a piece in his mouth until the candy was getting smaller and smaller, and he couldn't feel its taste. He only saw Ye Qiu eating happily and was puzzled.
It is said that sugar is sweet.
But what is the sweet taste?
Ye Xiu felt that the sugar was no different from the food he had eaten before - they had no taste, but they were different from softness and hardness. He didn't know much, so he went back and asked his aunt at home, "Aunt Shen, what does sweet taste like?"
"Sweet, it's the taste of sugar. Speaking of which, there are really no sugar cubes at home, but the soy milk tastes sweet in the morning. I added two tablespoons of sugar!"
Is soy milk sweet? It's almost the same as water..."
Only then did the family notice his strangeness and hurriedly took him to the hospital. Ye Xiu tasted several kinds of snacks that he had never eaten before in the hospital, but they were just as tasteless: the jelly is very soft, the potato chips is very crispy, and the biscuits are a little hard...
He is born with a taste failure.
At that time, his father, who had always been happy and angry, had a very ugly expression, but Ye Xiu didn't think it was a big deal at that time. Until he was a little older, he knew that all the flavors in the world had nothing to do with him. He was born with a broad and open-mindedness, and his heart would still be a little melancholy, sweet, bitter, bitter and salty. He would never understand what it was like in his life.
But it seems that God insisted that he understand it, so he dissolved these flavors in his life.
Although he talked about the bastard brother, Ye Qiu always thought that Ye Xiu was a great brother. Sometimes he also wonders why there are so many different lives between two people who are obviously of the same origin and appearance.
One seems to have been smooth, and the other seems to have been bumpy.
In Ye Qiu's memory when he was a child, he rarely commented that a dish or food was delicious. At first, I simply felt that I should not make my eldest brother unhappy. Later, when I grew up a few years old, I felt that every time I came to the table, I was suffering.
He felt uncomfortable for his eldest brother. There are so many flavors and deliciousness in the world. Why can't the eldest brother taste it? Just as people born blind can never imagine what is lake blue, what is goose yellow, and what is fire red, Ye Qiu feels blocked when she thinks that Ye Xiu will never experience the taste of honey.
This kind of distress was inevitably noticed by Ye Xiu, but Ye Xiu didn't care: "I'm already very lucky. Our teacher's son is born deaf. Now he can't hear or speak. In contrast, I can't taste what I eat. What's the point of?
Ye Qiu thought that he was not as open-minded as Ye Xiu, and he was not relieved because of Ye Xiu's words. After all, he was still puzzled.
When Ye Qiu was 14 years old, something big happened that changed his life. Although this matter is just a personal episode in Ye Xiu's mouth.
Ye Qiu knew that his family was rich, but he and Ye Xiu had always been in ordinary schools. Their brothers' usual behavior habits were no different from ordinary people. They did not show off or show off their wealth. It seemed to be the north and south poles of the upper class they were in.
Ye Qiu can't forget that day.
It's a winter day. It's very cold, but it's cloudless. Where the sun shines, there will be a little thin warmth.
He and Ye Xiu went home after evening self-study as usual, around seven o'clock, but it was already dark. The bus stop they are going to take is a little far from the school, and the location is remote. Because it leads to the villa area, there are very few people waiting for the bus, only their brothers.
Ye Qiu and Ye Xiu stood still and waited for the bus. Ye Qiu was a little bored and was looking around, but Ye Xiu suddenly grabbed his arm, and the strong Ye Qiu almost called out.
"Did you see the three men wearing masks over there?"
Ye Qiu's eyes moved slightly that way, and then nodded without a trace.
"They have been staring at us since we left school. They have been with us for a long time."
"I don't think it's right. If they don't mean it, there's no need to be so sneaky. After a while, the two of us will run together. If they don't chase, if they chase..."
"Let's run with your life."
Ye Qiu was not stupid. After listening to Ye Xiu's words, he also understood a general idea and nodded quickly. Ye Xiu did not hesitate when he saw him and pulled Ye Qiu forward.
When the three men who had been keeping a distance from them saw that they began to run, they immediately began to chase with a fierce face. Now their bad intentions were almost on the surface. Ye Qiu was scared to sweat all over, and even the hand he held with Ye Xiu was very sticky.
Since their brothers slept in separate rooms, such close physical contact has been gone.
Ye Qiu felt that he had never run so fast in his life. In the real sense, he ran wildly, but they said that he was just a 14-year-old teenager, not as strong adults. Seeing the distance shortened little by little, Ye Xiu suddenly stopped and let go of Ye Qiu's hand.
Before Ye Qiu could recover, he was pushed. Run!"
Ye Qiu subconsciously wanted to stay, but perhaps the instinct of running was imprinted in his subconscious, or perhaps because of the unconcealed anger in the eyes of his eldest brother, he only had time to look back at the eldest brother and turned his head and continued to run forward.
Until he stopped a taxi, no one chased him.
He borrowed the taxi uncle's mobile phone to call the police and inform his father. When he finished the phone call, he felt that he was out of strength. His calves kept shaking, and his hands had no strength at all.
Ye Qiu thought, where's the big brother? Did the police have time to save him? What if it's too late? Why on earth are these people chasing them?
Why do you run by yourself?
Unlike Ye Qiu's entangled mood, Ye Xiu didn't think so much from the beginning. He just felt that those people were chasing too fast. If the two of them ran together, they couldn't run away. It's better to leave a delay. Ye Qiu has a typical rich man's hobbies. He likes piano, reading and painting. Ye Xiu has been wild since he was a child, and he has no time to catch cats and dogs. Ye's father simply entrusted him to his old friend to learn Sanda. What do you think, Ye Xiu feels that he is more suitable to stay and procrastinate than Ye Qiu.
What's more, being a brother. It's okay for your brother to be bullied by you on weekdays. At this time, you will naturally look like a brother.
Ye Qiu didn't run far away, and the three men behind him also caught up. They were all dressed in black, afraid that others would not know that they were the underworld. Ye Xiu turned around, first threw down the schoolbag on his back, and hit the man in the face of the man running in front of him heavily. When the three of them didn't come to their senses, he kicked the man in the chest. Ye Xiu has been practicing Sanda for eight years, and this kick is ten times more force. The man in the leader flew backwards without even a word. The remaining two men were obviously a little surprised but not panicked. They wanted to clamp Ye Xiu's arms, one left and one right. The man on the right was slightly thin, and the one on the left was a tiger-backed bear waist in the standard sense. So Ye Xiu kicked the man on the right side first, and then elbowed the man on the left.
Ye Xiu's weight is very light and he doesn't have much meat. His elbow is like a solid wooden stick, which is cold and hard. Even if his brother who started earlier than him is hit by an elbow, he will bend over in pain. Therefore, although he did not report any hope of a blow, he also felt that it could effectively cause killing to his opponent.
Who would have thought that the man on the left did not dodge and ate his elbow. Before Ye Xiu could be surprised, he pulled his back collar and threw him out.
It was easy for Ye Xiu to stand up. This time, the man on the right was not willing to show weakness. The silver light in his hand flashed and he split straight at Ye Xiu's door.
They are underworld. How can they do without controlled knives?
Ye Xiu quickly dodged, but Yu Guang found that the man who had just thrown him out had continued to run forward. He couldn't help but hesitate any more. He pulled his arm over his shoulder, threw the man who was wrapped around him out and took the knife in his hand. Then he took a step forward and kicked the right leg of the runaway man's knee with all his strength. This foot is really domineering. Even if the man's physical quality is strong, he can't help staggering. It's just that his left leg didn't move. With this as the axis, he kicked Ye Xiu with a whip leg. He was so strong that he directly kicked away the knife that Ye Xiu had just got, and then threw Ye Xiu to the ground with the same method as Ye Xiu's falling just now. He had great strength. Ye Xiu had consciously raised the back of his head to protect himself, but as soon as he landed, he still felt that his internal organs had been removed, and his whole chest was shaking.
Before Ye Xiu recovered, he only felt a sharp pain in his left leg and calf. He clenched his teeth and didn't shout. I only heard the stronger one say, "This kid can fight very well. Look at him, and I'll chase another one."
Ye Xiu was actually stunned at that time. He just thought that he couldn't let this fierce guy chase Ye Qiu, so he stood up slightly and punched him in the ankle while the man was unprepared. This is really a bit of a dying struggle, but it is really effective. Ye Xiu is in the hands under the ankle. The man was in a lot of pain, but he didn't let Ye Xiu go. He kicked him directly into the lower abdomen. This kick kicked Ye Xiu's left upper abdomen. Ye Xiu felt that there was blood in his mouth, but he could not taste the fishy sweetness, but this time he really didn't have the strength to resist.
Later, Ye Xiu's memory was a little intermittent. It seemed that because Ye Qiu ran away, he injured one of them again. Ye Xiu's treatment was not very good, and later he was beaten twice.
The man's foot to his abdomen was too strong, and he directly kicked him with a broken spleen. The internal bleeding was quite serious. In addition, he was beaten again, and his body was seriously injured, resulting in he was in hemorrhagic shock for half of the time. As a result, until the omnipotent police uncle stuffed him into the ambulance, Ye Xiu was basically half awake and half dizzy, and he didn't even see the kidnapper's face from beginning to end.
This is the most tragic experience in Ye Xiu's life. The tibia of the left leg was fractured, the right knee was fractured, the knee joints of the legs were slippery, a large area of soft tissue contusion, and two ribs were broken. The most serious is the third-degree spleen rupture and moderate liver rupture, which led to a large amount of internal bleeding, which almost made him die in the hospital.
Ye Xiu didn't remember much. He only felt that he was half awake and half dizzy. After he was completely awake, he had become an idle person in the VIP ward of the hospital. God seemed to know his future experience. This reckless disaster almost made him poor, but except for a few scratches on the lines of the arms, elbows, wrists and fingers, he saw a little blood. Except for the scary bruises, it did not cause any substantial damage, almost intact.
But Ye Qiu remembered every minute and every second of the twelve hours.
He never wants to remember the twelve hours again.
Although Ye's father is usually busy with his work and neglects discipline to them, he is not indifferent. One son was missing, which was very anxious. He had always been reluctant to owe people on business, so he asked his old friend of the public security system to personally direct the case and search and arrest him overnight.
I didn't think of it, but I touched it back to myself.
Ye's father and mother were in a bad relationship. They got married and divorced early. Ye's mother has been living abroad. Father Ye hasn't remarried for so many years, but it is inevitable to have a bed partner. Originally, it was something you and I wanted to do, and Ye's father didn't want to go any further. Unexpectedly, these years of bed companions have moved their true feelings and wanted to marry Ye's father. After being rejected, he was so angry that he came up with such a stupid move to kidnap the child and threaten him.
The identities of the three kidnappers were quickly found out, and the police dispatched a large number of police forces. In the case that it was already hard to escape, the kidnappers did not intend to tear up a ticket to let him squat for a few more years. The rescue went well, but as soon as Ye Qiu saw Ye Xiu's face, he cried into a fool.
He closed his eyes, his face was a little dirty, and he looked so quiet without the previous improperty and ridicing.
Ye Qiu was afraid that he would not wake up like this.
The doctor also said that the patient's bleeding was too large, and he should prepare for the worst at any time.
The father and he sat side by side in the operating room. It was rare for the father and son to sit so close, not at both ends of the dining table.
Ye Qiu remembered that her father wanted to hug him at that time.
But Ye Qiu couldn't accept it. Can you wipe everything outside before you go home in the future? After going to bed, tie your trousers and don't bring back that kind of pickle! If you can't solve it, take care of your lower body, and don't be in estrus!"
After saying that, Ye Qiu didn't want to talk anymore.
Many years later, when the estrangement between father and son gradually disappeared, Ye's father once said to Ye Qiu, "At that time, I thought it was very fresh, because you always looked honest and sensible, unlike a person who could speak like that. According to my personality, I may scold you, but I thought at that time, if something really happened to the boss..." With that, he pressed his fingers in his eyes and said nothing.
Later, Ye Xiu always laughed at Ye Qiu for the harm for thousands of years. He was not so easy to take care of him, but this great disaster left more or less traces on him. He removed half of his spleen and one third of his liver. After all, the damage inside the body is not so obvious. After being discharged from the hospital, Ye Xiu is still alive and energetic.
However, there are still some obvious sequelae, which can't be ignored even if they are as strong as Ye Xiu.
He and Ye Qiu got up late that day and were about to miss the morning class. They hurried downstairs for dinner. When Ye Xiu went downstairs, he suddenly felt a pain in his legs and knees, and he could hardly stand. He half knelt down and quickly grabbed the armrest to prevent himself from falling down.
Due to the old injury, Ye Xiu left the sequelae of habitual paterus dislocation. Although he had an operation, the recurrence rate was too high. After several repetitions, Ye Xiu also extinguished his mind to completely cure.
This is the same as the problem of taste failure, which does not affect life at all. He can still overturn his brother on the training ground, and the sports test can still be excellent, but occasionally, inadvertently, bend down or even sleep and turn over, and his knees will slip. Most of the time, it will reset itself immediately. Occasionally, Ye Xiu needs to use his strength, and then it hurts for an hour and recovers as before.
However, it is still a harmless problem.
Ye Xiu has been with him for many years and never feels that this is a pain and a defect. His performance is no different from that of ordinary people. Who ever thought of a world invitation, he revealed these two secrets.
