ChaEven after being reborn, there are still many things in this world that are beyond human interference, such as diseases and unforeseen, sudden misfortunes.
Qin Chunxiao didn’t have a deep understanding of illness because he had never experienced it himself. However, he possessed empathy for others, so every time he saw someone suffering from an illness, he felt sympathy and sorrow, hoping for their speedy recovery.
For instance, when he learned that Yang Yun, the coach that excavated him, was suffering from worsened heart disease, Qin Chunxiao could do nothing but pray, as the old man had already declined surgery. Wasn’t that just waiting for the inevitable?
In his previous life, when he was in a difficult situation, Meng Yuqing, a senior who had helped him like a mentor and friend, extended a helping hand. Even though Qin Chunxiao hadn’t spoken much with Meng Yuqing, he still hoped she wouldn’t lose her loved ones.
Whether it was a twin sister or a soulmate, losing someone would be a heart-wrenching pain for anyone.
Praying and hoping often didn’t yield much, so Qin Chunxiao sighed, finished the delicious food that Lu Xuandong had brought him, then sent comforting messages to Meng Yuqing and Yang Yun. Afterward, he went online to find a research institute specializing in bone tumors, thinking about donating money if needed.
He couldn’t cure cancer, but he could try to help those who could.
Lu Xuandong walked in and saw the keywords he was searching for on the phone. He tapped his phone and prompted, “If it’s about tumor problems, you can check a research institute in Cuba. They have a donation channel, but there’s a limit to the amount. You can only donate $1000 within a month, and it has to be under your real name.”
Qin Chunxiao stood up, and Lu Xuandong naturally took his seat, typing in a web address that led to the donation page of that research institute. He first submitted his identity and then proceeded with the donation process. It was not a complicated procedure, and the website offered multiple language options, including Chinese, and there were many Chinese names listed in the donation records.
Lu Xuandong used sign language to convey, “There are still many people hoping for a breakthrough in bone tumor treatment. You are not alone in this.”
He wanted to comfort Qin Chunxiao, but when Qin Chunxiao saw his sign language, he thought about the fact that there were still many people facing the impending loss of their lives. Even when lying down, he couldn’t find much happiness.
While lying there, Lu Xuandong realized that he and Little Qin’s team had one difference. When he learned about Meng Yuling’s cancer relapse, his first reaction was about money – whether there was enough. He then found a way to transfer the design task to Meng Yuling and sent her a large sum of money as payment. After that, he just waited to see if a miracle would happen for Meng Yuling.
In his life, accepting misfortune was straightforward since he had grown accustomed to it. However, in his mind, the biggest misfortune was to remain poor and sick continuously. Leading a difficult and miserable life was not enjoyable, and certain parts of him had become numb. He found it difficult to receive happiness and became more receptive to pain, but he also struggled to express his own suffering.
On the other hand, Qin Chunxiao’s first reaction was to console those in need and think of ways to donate to research institutions, doing whatever he could to help. Yet, he could also express his frustrations and sadness directly.
In Qin Chunxiao’s life, the concept of getting used to misfortune hadn’t taken root, and he didn’t believe he needed to get accustomed to such things.
Lu Xuandong also had empathy and compassion. He would donate and help people in need, but now he felt that he had learned more from Qin Chunxiao. Certain parts of him, which had turned as dull as a stone, had now become vibrant and alive.
He looked at Qin Chunxiao, who was lying on his side with his back to him. In the past, if Qin Chunxiao fell asleep in this position, he would inevitably turn over, spreading his arms wide, sleeping extravagantly. Once, Qin Chunxiao’s arm had landed right on Lu Xuandong’s neck, almost choking him.
Now still lying on his side, it indicated that the other person had not fallen asleep and was probably feeling upset.
Lu Xuandong cautiously reached out his hand and patted Qin Chunxiao’s back. Qin Chunxiao adjusted his position, not objecting to the gesture. So Lu Xuandong continued to pat his back, imitating how Qin Chunxiao had comforted him before.
After a while, Qin Chunxiao turned over, and his hand accidentally slapped Lu Xuandong’s face. Lu Xuandong’s mouth twitched, and he gently pushed his hand and arm into the blanket, then closed his eyes and moved to the other side of the bed to sleep.
For Qin Chunxiao, the indoor heating in Russia was too hot. When sharing a bed indoors with someone, he had to be prepared to give up a large part of the bed space, or else he might end up with a large bruise from the top athlete’s accidental punches or kicks.
Qin Chunxiao could take on even people taller than two meters in a fight. That’s how strong he was!
If he could hold this kid while sleeping, it would restrict his movements, but Lu Xuandong didn’t dare to do that.
Qin Chunxiao increased the frequency and duration of his calls to China. The experiences of the Meng sisters made him cherish the health of his family even more. When his financial and time allowed, he would go out and buy some souvenirs like Matryoshka dolls and sailor hats to send back to China.
Li Ling was also sad, but he recovered faster. After all, he wasn’t very close to the Meng sisters. When he mentioned Meng Yuling, he only had an image of her sitting in a wheelchair. He vaguely knew she had the same face as Meng Yuqing, but she was much thinner.
If it weren’t for Qin Chunxiao mentioning it, Li Ling wouldn’t even know that they were soulmates. After learning about it, his first reaction was, “If Dongzi doesn’t take care of his health properly, wouldn’t Xiaozai lose his vision too? Oh my, Dongzi, you have to exercise with us!”
Lu Xuandong really wanted to exercise with them, but he couldn’t bring himself to wear just sportswear and run outdoors in the cold morning.
Qin Chunxiao argued, “According to the lunar calendar, it’s already spring.”
Lu Xuandong looked outside at the tree branches devoid of any greenery and the constant freezing rain and snow, with no expression on his face.
What’s the difference between early spring and winter in Russia?
Lu Xuandong chose to do dumbbell exercises at home.
Alexander finally recovered from his injury and returned. With the doctor’s permission, he played in a new regular-season game, which meant Qin Chunxiao took a rest.
Qin Chunxiao’s recovery ability was incredible. Under Newton’s deadly continuous calls, Nikolai, who had been working too hard for too long, finally put someone on the bench.
After Qin Chunxiao returned, the Hamsters started a new winning streak, and both Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling were in excellent form.
After all, they had coaches and teammates to take care of them at the club, and when they returned home, there was Lu Xuandong waiting with hot meals. Household chores were taken care of with regular cleaning services, and even their studies were guided by others!
Unfortunately, Lu Xuandong was not home every day. He was busy with trading grain futures and wanted to develop an offline grain supply source. So he took a trip to Kiev. After he returned, he told Qin Chunxiao that he wouldn’t be doing business abroad anymore and would instead open a farm in China.
Qin Chunxiao looked him up and down and asked, “Why do you feel unstable there? The land there is so fertile, like a big granary.”
Lu Xuandong replied, “The government’s policies are inconsistent, and there’s constant changing of officials and positions. It’s not as harmonious and stable as China. I always feel like there’s a lot of tension, and it’s only a matter of time before there’s a conflict. It’s better to go back to China, where peace and stability can make money.”
RMB’s stability was well-known worldwide. Over there in Russia, some shops even accept RMB for payment to preserve its value.
This was Qin Chunxiao’s experience of shopping here.
Qin Chunxiao gazed at Lu Xuandong and nodded slowly, showing his agreement with Lu Xuandong’s assessment. As someone who had been reborn from 2023, Qin Chunxiao couldn’t help but sigh to himself that Lu Xuandong was indeed an impressive character. He was not only perceptive but also had a strong sense of risk, which explained why he had been making accurate profits in business.
Li Ling didn’t understand everything and asked, “What does that mean? Can I not travel there in the future?”
His progress in learning Russian was not bad, and Russian was widely used in Kazakhstan and the grain warehouses of Europe. He had plans to go there when he had time, take some photos, buy souvenirs, and show off to his family and friends that Li Ling was also a well-traveled person.
Looking at Li Ling’s expression, Qin Chunxiao could guess that when this guy boasted about his adventures in Russia and various countries to his family and friends, he would stand with hands on his hips, proudly recounting his stories.
Lu Xuandong replied, “The current political situation is stable, so it’s okay to go now if you want. Just remember not to travel alone.”
Lu Xuandong pointed at Qin Chunxiao, obviously thinking that it would be safer if he brought Xiaozai along.
After this discussion, Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling also went back to China for a visit. The new semester was approaching, and they needed to register and get their textbooks, as well as purchase more study materials.
By April, the regular season of 26 games had finally concluded. The Hamster Club had achieved 18 wins and 8 losses, ranking fourth in the regular season standings.
The best team, Beluga, had 23 wins and 3 losses. One game, they played poorly and gave away points to the opposing team, another game they were defeated by the Hamsters’ tactics due to an injury to their starting setter. However, these three losses did not affect their position as the champions of the regular season.
Roman once again received the MVP and Best Receiver awards for the regular season, Anton was named the Best Setter, and surprisingly, Qin Chunxiao also received an award. The Russian Volleyball Association, which preferred to give awards to their own players, presented him with the Best Libero award. They all attended the award ceremony organized by the Russian Volleyball Association, standing in a friendly row in front of the reporters, showing polite smiles.
When the Russian Volleyball Association official presented him with the award and patted his shoulder, he praised loudly, “You are very courageous and tenacious, an outstanding young man.”
Qin Chunxiao shook his hand and politely replied, “Thank you for your praise. I will continue to work hard.”
The old man smiled and said, “While working hard, also pay attention to your health.”
On the same night after the award ceremony, the voting for the All-Star lineup for this year’s Russian Super League, both men’s and women’s teams, came to an end. Fans voted for their favorite players in positions like setter, receiver, main attacker 1, main attacker 2, opposite 1, opposite 2, and libero. The two players with the most votes for each position would be divided into two teams and coached by the two best coaches in Russia to participate in a fun competition.
In simple terms, it was a gathering of popular volleyball stars to entertain the fans.
Originally, Qin Chunxiao had no expectations of making it onto the list because he was a foreign player. In Russia, the difficulty for foreign players to be selected for the All-Star lineup was no less than getting Nikolai drunk and having him dance on the streets.
However, he didn’t expect that he had completely established himself as a volleyball star in the Russian Super League this year. Although he had roared at the audience in the stadium that he was a foreign player, the outside world had a generally high opinion of him.
While Qin Chunxiao was unaware, fans began passionately recommending this young player on the internet.
[Misha Qin’s defense is super strong! No volleyball enthusiast can resist such a libero! None!
[He roars at those bad guys who boo injured opponents to protect them, showing respect for his opponents!]
[I like this spirited kid.]
[Hey, did you know? A short foreign player named Misha Qin joined the Russian Super League. He’s Slavic like us, and he plays with great energy!]
[Misha Qin is the most trusted shield for his teammates on the defensive end! He’s young but reliable.]
[He’s a hero who confronts giants with the body of an ordinary person. I admire his toughness!]
With his great skills, determination, personality, and willingness to protect the dignity of his teammates and opponents, it’s no wonder that many people who are similar in height to Qin Chunxiao and love volleyball couldn’t help but be impressed by this young player.
Isn’t Misha Qin the ordinary person who broke into the realm of giants and created a miracle!
Thanks to these fans’ push, Qin Chunxiao’s votes as a libero soared, and he and Roman were the first players to be confirmed for the All-Star lineup.
Anton followed closely behind. Strangely enough, their teammate Oleg also received high votes in the main attacker position. His attacking ability was strong, but it was only on par with the top five in the Russian Super League. Why did he have such high popularity?
When Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling curiously looked at him, Oleg became annoyed and blurted out, “Stop staring at me like that! I made a bet with fans online. If they voted me into the All-Star lineup this year, I would shave my beard!”
Qin Chunxiao suddenly realized that after Oleg shaved his beard, his face looked like a Slavic version of Mr. Bean! No wonder the netizens were so eager to vote for him. Qin Chunxiao even felt like voting for Oleg.
On April 1st, the All-Star Game kicked off at the Druzhba Sports Center in Moscow.
Qin Chunxiao took the train from St. Petersburg to Moscow, and upon arriving, he messaged Lu Xuandong.
Qin Chunxiao: [I’ve safely arrived in Moscow. Do you want to guess what we saw on the way?]
Lu Xuandong: [What interesting thing happened on the train?]
Qin Chunxiao: [When the train was halfway, a tiger chased after it, and some passengers threw meat to feed the tiger. It was super fun!]
Lu Xuandong: [……]
Where’s the fun in that?
