There were no specific standards for a healthy life.

But at Lu Xuandong’s side, he ate nutritious meals every day, and Team Xiaoqin, who shared the same bed, slept in seconds every day. Taking Lu Xuandong  with him also improved the quality of his sleep. When he woke up in the morning, someone cared about his body temperature and health. Roommates were also friendly and fun.

Such an environment was undoubtedly conducive to physical and mental health.

After Lu Xuandong consciously stayed with Team Xiaoqin for a few days, his health-preserving progress improved to a higher level.

Of course, he didn’t eat and live for free. In addition to doing housework every day, he also helped tutor Li Ling’s English and Qin Chunxiao’s high school studies.

He also wanted to pay for the food, but Qin Chunxiao only accepted two hundred yuan.

Qin Chunxiao and Er Leng’s ingredients were taken from the club cafeteria, and the water, electricity and network were all provided by the club. He and Er Leng did not spend much money on their own business.

Lu Xuandong only needed to pay Qin Chunxiao’s manual fee for processing the ingredients. For Xiao Qin’s craftsmanship, this healthy combination, the service of waking up every morning and waking up at night, two hundred a week was not too much, right? Even the price of a live-in nanny was more than that.

In Lu Xuandong’s memory, he had never been taken care of like this, let alone two hundred, he was willing to put all the cash on his body into Xiao Qin’s arms.

Li Ling also felt that Lu Xuandong’s arrival had improved his quality of life, because since Lu Xuandong came, he didn’t have to be stunned to do the washing and drying of clothes and cleaning the kitchen.

Everyone was satisfied with the cohabitation, and the atmosphere was natural and harmonious.

And two days before the start of the regular season, Qin Chunxiao also got a day off from Nikolai.

This day’s holiday stemmed from Coach Nikolai’s concern about Qin Chunxiao. It was not that Xiao Qin didn’t perform well. In fact, after playing the Cornucopia Club, the Hamster Club swept away the shame of last year and revived their morale. Qin Chunxiao as a great hero with his competitive level had been recognized by the whole team, and his status had become increasingly stable.

But Nikolai was very worried about Qin Chunxiao’s health bar, because he found that Anton was no longer willing to match with other libero in the team.

Anton said this: “Their first pass level is not as good as Misha!”

Of course Nikolai knew that Misha Qin’s first pass was the best, but how old was he?

It was true that Misha Qin had passed the last period of rapid growth in his life, but his body was obviously not fully grown. It was also due to this consideration that Nikola let Qin Chunxiao withdraw from the offensive end, as the child was not tall enough. If he wanted to compete with others near the net, he needed to use the one-foot jumping technique, but this technique always had a high risk of injury.

However, even tasks like sweeping the floor could put a significant burden on the body of a 16-year-old athlete who played in all the games of the Russian Super League and never arrived late or left early in daily training.

Qin Chunxiao’s shoulder muscles had been protesting lately, and the physical therapist reported that the child’s shoulder muscles were tense. He had received treatment with a fascia gun and had an essential oil massage, which provided some relief.

Nikolai looked at the schedule and thought that no one would rest, and when the competition became more intense, Misha Qin would often play the whole court. How could this small body stand it?

And it was necessary for Anton to play with others in the next game. Otherwise, even if the club could raise the price to renew Misha Qin next year, what if one day the child’s price increases so much that they can’t afford it?

The libero in the Russian men’s volleyball national team were not used to their teammates like Qin Chunxiao. If they could catch a pass by themselves, they didn’t need to trouble their teammates to rescue them. It was better for Anton to practice his own pass.

So on Friday, Qin Chunxiao got a holiday.

Qin Chunxiao was baffled at first: “Coach, my birthday is not today.”

Nikolai: “I know your birthday is not today.”

Qin Chunxiao: “Then why did you give me a holiday alone?” He remembered that today was not a special holiday that only he could spend.

Nikolai: “Because you are the only minor on the team, and when I called Newton, he said that you have been healthy. Except for a sprained foot during the game, nothing happened, so you can go out and rest for a day. Well, Newton and I agree on that, we both want to keep your injury-free record going.”

Nikolai still remembered that in the early 1990s, when he was just a coach, there was a good 16-year-old libero seed in Russia, but the kid wanted to get ahead too much. He hadn’t kept up with it, and in the end, the kid’s body didn’t grow well, not to mention that his height didn’t grow to more than 1.7 meters, his bones were not healthy, and his joints all had some problems.

Qin Chunxiao scratched his head and said, “Huh? I thought 16 years old was considered an adult age in Russia. Can’t you get married at 14?”

Nikolai didn’t engage in the topic and simply waved his hand, saying, “For now, let’s forget about other matters. Pack your things, go back, and enjoy your vacation. Whatever you do, avoid practicing. We’ll reconvene for team training the day after tomorrow, and then we’ll prepare for the upcoming regular season game.”

Qin Chunxiao was also a person who knew what to do. He squeezed his shoulders and agreed with Nikholai’ judgment, then packed his things and left the arena under the envious eyes of his teammates.

After staying away from volleyball for a short time, Qin Chunxiao didn’t know what to do, so he simply went back to the apartment and sat down in front of Lu Xuandong.

Qin Chunxiao [The team doctor said that my shoulder muscles are too tense and asked me to take a day off.]

Lu Xuandong [Then let’s hurry, spend the count down?]

Qin Chunxiao [Of course we have to brush the count, but are we just sticking together and doing nothing?]

He and Lu Xuandong hadn’t reached the point where they could do nothing but feel very satisfied just being together. Qin Chunxiao felt that with his personality, he would never develop to that level with anyone in this life, because he couldn’t be idle at all.

Lu Xuandong wanted to say “we can do the questions”, but thought that Qin Chunxiao had almost finished the papers he brought from China, so he changed his words.

Lu Xuandong [Of course we can do other things.]

As for what to do. Well, Lu Xuandong didn’t want to go out and press the road in the minus 20 degrees, but the temperature in the shopping mall should be better.

But Qin Chunxiao started to rummage through the cabinet, and under Lu Xuandong’s bewildered eyes, he dug out a few wine bottles from a corner of the cabinet.

Lu Xuandong was shocked, had this child grown to such a degree?

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Qin Chunxiao quickly tapped his phone [I didn’t buy this, it was a gift from my teammates! I don’t drink, but if you do, the wine is yours.]

Lu Xuandong squatted down, inspected a few wine bottles, and found that the alcohol was more than 85% of the water- practically ethanol…

Not to mention that he was taking care of his health recently, even in the past, Lu Xuandong could only deal with ordinary drinks below 60 degrees!

And Qin Chunxiao who said “I don’t drink alcohol” saw Lu Xuandong’s delicate expression, unscrewed the cap of the bottle under Lu Xuandong’s horrified eyes, turned a cup from the coffee table, poured 50ml and drank it all in one gulp.

Lu Xuandong stretched out his hand and shouted silently: Don’t drink——

Qin Chunxiao’s complexion remained unchanged, and he smacked his lips: [It’s okay, it’s just a little spicy, don’t worry, the wine hasn’t gone bad.]

Lu Xuandong carefully looked Qin Chunxiao up, down, left, and right, and found that he was really clear-sighted, walking without swaying at all, and completely unaffected by alcohol.

He remembered that before he came to Russia, he had heard netizens say “don’t use the stereotypes you get on the Internet to treat Russians”, but after coming to Russia, there were more strange stereotypes.

Fortunately, Qin Chunxiao refused to drink if he didn’t want to drink it. After tasting the taste, he confirmed that Lu Xuandong really didn’t want to have a drink, so he put the bottle back, continued to rummage through it, and finally found a Switch.

Team Xiaoqin simply sent an invitation to Lu Xuandong [Let’s play motion-sensing games together, I have tennis, badminton, volleyball, kendo, and football here.]

Lu Xuandong [Tennis bar.]

He could play tennis, badminton, and volleyball. In order to enhance his combat effectiveness, he even specially practiced boxing.

Qin Chunxiao [I originally wanted to take you to the suburbs. There is a horse farm there. I can take you for a ride and then play Frisbee. Unfortunately, the weather is too cold, and the horse can only rest indoors, otherwise it will catch a cold.]

The two played games like this all afternoon, and they played all kinds of games. It was not until the game machine was completely out of battery that Qin Chunxiao happily leaned back, lay on the sofa, and twisted his right shoulder.

“Holidays are so boring, I really want to go back to training.”

His exclamation was not directed at Lu Xuandong, so he said it smoothly. Lu Xuandong sat on the side and raised his phone.

Lu Xuandong [Can I massage it for you?]

Qin Chunxiao [OK.]

He happily sat down with his back facing Lu Xuandong, and when Lu Xuandong stretched out his hands to press the child’s shoulders, he found that the muscles on Qin Chunxiao’s right shoulder were obviously more tense, and there were plasters attached to it, and the nodules could be vaguely pinched. The strain was serious, no wonder his coach wanted to let him go back to rest, it was really not easy for an athlete.

Lu Xuandong sighed in his heart, and began to exert force with his hands. He could do a little massage, which was a skill he learned when he was a cleaner in a Chinese medicine clinic.

Qin Chunxiao was so comfortable that he hummed. Compared with Russian massage, he still prefers Chinese massage.

This was also Lu Xuandong’s last day in Russia.

When Li Ling came home at night, he saw that Qin Chunxiao had set up a hot pot, and the table was full of ingredients. He even baked a small cake, which was covered with white cream and put a lot of strawberries.

As a third-generation heir of Foshan Cake Shop, Qin Chunxiao could also make desserts very well, but he didn’t usually eat them, so he only cooked them infrequently.

Li Ling: “Wow, Xiaozai, is this a practice banquet for Brother Dong?”

Qin Chunxiao nodded as a matter of course: “Yes, he has done so many chores for us these past few days, and he also helped repair the water pipes, change the light bulbs, even the sewer, and give you the key points of the fourth grade. Now he wants to go, why don’t you clean up a table.”

Li Ling bowed his head in shame, “You’re right.”

As the only college student at the scene, he was actually the worst in English.

Qin Chunxiao’s control over the three people’s food intake showed its power at this time. He prepared a wide variety of ingredients, but the food was just enough for the three of them to collapse on the sofa with their stomachs in their hands and pant.

The TV was broadcasting the movie “Prometheus”, which was also a series of Alien movies. After watching the movie for the past few days, they all quickly became familiar with Alien.

Then the next day, Qin Chunxiao hailed a car, carried a big bag and accompanied Lu Xuandong to the airport, and sent him all the way to the boarding gate.

Lu Xuandong was still wrapped up like a bear, but Qin Chunxiao reminded him that he could take off one or two clothes properly before getting off the plane. His destination, Guangzhou, was not as cold as Russia.

Looking at the non-stop rain outside the airport and the planes taking off as usual, Lu Xuandong took two deep breaths before convincing himself of the urge to change the ticket.

Forget it, with the weather in Russia, it would snow and rain for the next half month. Since their plane could still take off as usual, then he must muster up the courage to board.

He turned around and walked towards the boarding gate. After walking a few steps, he turned around again and trotted to Qin Chunxiao, opened his mouth speechless, and wanted to turn around and leave again.

Qin Chunxiao grabbed his sleeve.

Lu Xuandong looked back at the boy, and saw Qin Chunxiao raised his head and smiled at him.

He was hugged, and his back was patted comfortingly, with the same strength to coax a child. Lu Xuandong stared blankly ahead, feeling that his inner reluctance and insecurity had been soothed.

He leaned over, put his arms around Qin Chunxiao, closed his eyes, and tried to whisper something in Xiaoqin’s ear.

“Thank you.” with no sound

Lu Xuandong [I made a movie before I retired, and it was released on Christmas. That movie has a special meaning to me. If you don’t compete in those few days, can you go back to China to attend the premiere?]

Qin Chunxiao [OK.]
