My Soulmate is A Libero
In 2020, the Chinese men’s volleyball team’s years of hard work finally paid off—they secured their ticket to the Olympics.
After the completion of this game, Gao Depi’s eyes turned red. On the night the match ended, this guy took a high-speed train back to Guangzhou with a group of people. Facing the sea, he held his open wallet and cried while looking at Coach Yangyun’s photo.
“Coach, we’re going to the Olympics!”
He had a bad-boy appearance, but when he cried, not only did his bad-boy aura disappear, but he also looked a bit silly. Qin Chunxiao initially found it funny, but when he looked at the youthful face of Coach Yangyun in the picture and thought about the old man who had brought him into the provincial team, his heart also felt a pang of sadness.
If the old man had lived a couple more years, he would have seen them go to the Olympics.
The sea waves rolled in, sand swirling in their wake, and the wind whistled. Lao Niu picked up a seashell and pretended to make a phone call, saying, “Lao Yang, hey, can you hear me? We made it to the Olympics, hahaha!”
Qiao Mingming stood on a rocky outcrop and shouted, “Olympics!”
Fu Biyang pounded his chest and stomped his feet, “Olympics!”
Min Yaoyang picked up a tree branch from who knows where and drew the Olympic rings in the sand. Then, they all gathered inside the rings for a group photo.
They were all dressed casually. Qin Chunxiao was wearing a denim coat that Lu Xuandong had bought for him. The inner lining was warm, and it was too hot to wear in Guangdong, so he unbuttoned it when taking pictures.
Chang Xiaolei yelled in the sea breeze, “It’s January now, guys! Aren’t you freezing in this sea breeze? Let’s head back!”
They chatted and laughed as they walked back. Along the way, they ordered some dim sum from Runfulou, where the proprietress was now familiar with the Guangdong provincial team. Athletes often came here for morning tea, and the ingredients were safe to eat.
Qin Chunxiao carried a plate of rice noodle rolls and listened to Gao Depi’s stories from the past.
“When I first joined the provincial team, I was worse off than Xiaozai. We were both short, and as soon as I joined the team, they sent me to the libero’s side. I had to work hard for a long time to get a chance to attack at the net. I was so impatient back then. Besides playing volleyball, I got into all sorts of trouble. I even dyed my hair and got tattoos. I got scolded by the leaders until I was half dead. When Coach Yang Yun found out, he took me to apologize and make promises…”
After that, there was the story of their victory at the World Youth Championship as part of the golden men’s volleyball team.
Gao Depi stuffed two shrimp dumplings into his mouth and continued, “For a while, I thought the World Youth Championship was the peak of my life. Seriously, I never thought that I, Gao Depi, a 184 cm opposite hitter, would have the chance to ride the waves at the Olympics with the national team!”
Qin Chunxiao thought, in a distant past life, they hadn’t made it to the Tokyo Olympics. “We will achieve good results,” he said. He finished the last bite of his rice noodle rolls and took the milk that Er Leng handed him, drinking it all in one go.
In 2020, aside from a brief vaccine frenzy around Chinese New Year, life went on as usual. People across the country enjoyed free vaccinations called “Dun vaccines.” The places where they administered the vaccines were always crowded, but apart from that, there were no major disruptions. Chinese New Year came and went, and people continued with their daily lives.
This vaccine became a hot topic during the New Year period because it could enhance the immune system’s fighting capacity and precision targeting. Many individuals with severe allergies discovered that they were no longer sensitive to certain allergens. Those allergic to milk could now enjoy dairy products without any issues, and those allergic to mangoes could savor mango desserts to their hearts’ content.
By the way, it was rumored that this vaccine prioritized cancer patients during the vaccination process. There were speculations on the internet that this vaccine could improve the survival rate of cancer patients. However, the official stance remained very tight-lipped, always emphasizing the importance of not spreading false information, almost like they were from a top-secret intelligence agency.
Qin Chunxiao couldn’t help but think that perhaps the butterfly effect from his reincarnation had triggered something extraordinary. It had led to the creation of this vaccine that hadn’t existed in his previous life, but it was undoubtedly a good thing.
Some of life’s persistent troubles, like pandemics, seemed to have been eliminated.
During the New Year, Lu Xuandong brought bags and bags of stuff to Qin’s house. While Qin Chunxiao took a break from work during the New Year holidays, Lu Xuandong occupied the kitchen at the Qin residence.
Qin Chunxiao and Qin Chunfeng were pasting spring couplets when they overheard their sister reading aloud, “This morning, Grandpa wanted to bake a cake for Mom to satisfy her sweet tooth. But then you two, Dongzi and Xiaozai, showed up wearing aprons, and you ended up baking all sorts of pastries. You had Mom and Grandma evaluate the flavors. Looking at his expression, nobody can take away his kitchen authority.”
Qin Chunxiao cleared his throat and said, “Grandpa used to say that neither of us could inherit his cake business, so he was hoping for our future spouses to do that. My brother-in-law talked about going into foreign trade, so Dongzi thought he should hone his dessert-making skills. I heard he’s been practicing in his house in London, and he’s been getting better.”
Qin Chunfeng asked, “Practicing cooking in the UK? What can he possibly make there?”
Qin Chunxiao replied, “Dongzi entered school less than three months ago and already conquered all the professors with his cooking. But he couldn’t eat everything he made by himself, or he’d gain a lot of body fat. So, he had to invite others to help him finish.”
Qin Chunfeng patted his brother’s belly and asked, “Did you gain weight?”
Qin Chunxiao laughed and said, “No, I’ve been maintaining it well.”
The playful banter of the siblings echoed down the hallway, reaching the living room. Wen Lang, Qin Chunxiao’s brother-in-law, had a smile on his face as he squeezed out his wet cloth and climbed onto the windowsill to clean the windows.
The aroma of fried food filled the kitchen, and the exhaust fan was working at full power, but it couldn’t completely mask the scent of the crispy pork and fried fish.
Qin Ling dragged the mop along the floor and saw Lu Xuandong carrying a plate of fish meat toward the door. He said to Qin Chao, “Looks like Dongzi’s going to send the fish belly meat to Chunxiao and Chunfeng.”
As firecrackers were not allowed in big cities during Chinese New Year, they only set up a mahjong table. Grandma Qin, Mom Qin Chao, Qin Ling’s mother, and Qin Chunxiao sat at one table, while the others watched TV.
The table was filled with delicious food, and laughter filled the air. Qin Chunxiao even won three times in a row, and he kept sending New Year’s blessings via text messages to friends and family both domestically and internationally. He also joined various groups to snatch red envelopes. Whether it was due to the good deeds he’d done before the New Year by donating half of his salary, his luck had been good from the end of last year until now. He always seemed to get the lion’s share, even in luck-based red envelope grabs.
Lu Xuandong moved a chair and sat next to Qin Chunxiao. From time to time, he offered suggestions on how to play. As he sat there, he became drowsy, and he rested his head on Qin Chunxiao’s shoulder. Qin Chunxiao, feeling that Lu Xuandong’s body was getting cold in the winter, tucked Lu Xuandong’s hand under his own arm.
Athletes had strong metabolisms. Even if Qin Chunxiao only wore one piece of clothing and stood in the snow, he’d still feel hot. He was like a human furnace.
Qin’s grandfather asked, “Dongzi, are you tired? Do you want to go to bed? It’s easy to catch a cold outside.”
Lu Xuandong shook his head, and Qin Chunxiao touched a card and said, “Let him lean on me. It’s not even midnight yet. We can stay up together.”
Wen Lang said, “Then I’ll get him a blanket.”
Eventually, Lu Xuandong also didn’t remember when he had dozed off. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself resting on Qin Chunxiao’s thigh. He was covered with a thick blanket. Qin Chunxiao leaned against the sofa, counting the banknotes from the red envelopes. Cuihua lay beside him, and her body heat transferred to him. Her tail wagged.
It was very warm and reassuring. Lu Xuandong couldn’t recall what he had dreamed about, those hazy screams, explosive sounds, and the cabin filled with flames had all faded and blurred.
“Dongzai, you’ve received a total of 2000 yuan in red envelopes this year, and I’ve received 2000 yuan too. Here, this is yours, keep it safe.”
Xiao Qin happily stuffed the thick red envelope into the pocket of Lu Xuandong’s coat. As he was about to pull his hand away, it was caught, and he heard Qin Chunxiao call, “Dongzai?”
Lu Xuandong held his hand and pressed a light kiss to his fingertips, causing another burst of soft laughter.
“It tickles.”
Later, Lu Xuandong brought Qin Chunxiao back to the Lu family to celebrate the New Year.
After meeting their younger son’s soulmate, a tattooed, smoking, and hot-tempered Russian nanny in his thirties, Lu Hao and Zhao Zhaoyan had a positive impression of their elder son’s soulmate.
They genuinely accepted him.
To ensure that his parents would have a good impression of Yashenka when he came to visit, Lu Yunchen started getting vaccinated two months in advance and repeatedly reminded everyone not to make Yashenka feel unwelcome. He believed that Yashenka was a good person, despite his age and occasional temper, he was caring and protective, and his professional skills were excellent, and so on…
Initially, Lu’s parents did have some reservations about Yashenka, but Lu Yunchen was becoming unbearable. Whenever Lu Hao changed his expression, their younger son started acting up and saying outrageous things like, “If you don’t let me be with my soulmate, I’ll elope to Russia,” and so on.
Lu Hao couldn’t believe it. “You were the only one talking just now. Dad just had a bad expression, and now you’re planning to elope? Have I raised you for twenty years in vain?”
This was beyond unreasonable!
Zhao Zhaoyan, who was currently playing the role of an older sister in a romantic drama where she gets beaten up, said, “Oh no, it’s that thing called the ‘love brain.’”
Thanks to Lu Yunchen’s diligence, when Yashenka arrived, the Lu family was on guard as if they were facing a ferocious beast. But to their surprise, Yashenka was polite and well-mannered. He had tattoos, but his aura was that of a composed and elite professional, perfectly fitting his status as a doctoral student in the medical department of Russia’s number one university.
The Lu family: …much better than expected.
When Yashenka solemnly stated his intention to marry Lu Yunchen and expressed his willingness to sign a prenuptial agreement before marriage, the Lu family breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that he brought up a prenuptial agreement indicated his seriousness about Lu Yunchen.
However, Lu Yunchen wasn’t pleased. “I know you earn an annual salary of five hundred thousand dollars, and your education is higher than mine. Auntie even owns a big farm. You might not think much of me with my humble background, but I’ll work hard in the future, and my income will definitely surpass yours.”
Young Lu believed that his older brother would inherit the family fortune, so his own financial situation might not be great for now, but he had potential.
Yashenka suppressed his temper. “Shut up.”
The Lu family: Unexpectedly, he’s a very suitable partner for our younger son. It seems that soulmates are indeed trustworthy.
Once they accepted Yashenka and Lu Yunchen as a couple, they became even less concerned about Qin Chunxiao. Their elder son was much more shrewd, and there was no way he’d let anyone take advantage of him.
So, they gave Qin Chunxiao a warm welcome, presented him with a generous red envelope, and even proactively asked when they could have a meal and meet their future in-laws.
Qin Chunxiao was taken aback and replied, “I’m only 18 years old, and I’m not considering marriage at the moment. Dongzai is also under 22 years old. We’re both not of legal marriage age.”
The Lu family said, “Oh, I see. That makes sense. Well, take your time then.”
They naturally didn’t know that after Qin Chunxiao left the Lu family, Lu Xuandong expressed his displeasure while holding him for a full half-hour.
“Why are we talking about marriage now? But our parents can meet first, and why do you insist on signing a prenuptial agreement with me?”
Qin Chunxiao replied, “Because your family has tens of billions in assets. I didn’t get together with you for your money, and I don’t want people to think I’m after your wealth.”
Lu Xuandong: “I’d love it if you were after my money. I could transfer those tens of billions to your account right now.”
Qin Chunxiao pinned him down. “Dongzi, stay calm!”
If Lu’s parents had a rational view of each other as “as long as we ignore the soul, this person is incredibly wonderful,” their sons seemed to lack rationality when it came to love.
Due to a certain pandemic that never really went away, the authorities responded to the call for active preparation for the Olympics after the New Year festivities, requiring the Lao Niu to resume training with the national team.
With insufficient vaccine coverage abroad, there was an outbreak of the virus, leading to some chaos. Club leagues couldn’t proceed, and athletes couldn’t train at their clubs, so they decided to train within China.
After ending his call with Nikolai, Qin Chunxiao talked to Li Ling. “The Hamster Club hasn’t been infected. They’re all currently under home quarantine, but they should be able to resume within three months. After all, Dun’s vaccine has been exported overseas.”
Li Ling sighed with regret. “But this year’s World Club Championship is canceled, and there’s no Champions League either. It feels like everything has come to a standstill.”
Qin Chunxiao replied calmly, “As long as everyone is healthy, we can play club matches next year. Let’s focus on training for now.”
Speaking of Olympic training, Li Ling became enthusiastic. “Shouldn’t we go for high-altitude training?”
Training at high altitudes before the Olympics was a tradition for athletes from various countries.
“That’s something we’ll do in April or May. Right now, we’re heading to Hainan.” Qin Chunxiao’s lips twitched as he continued, “Xiaole Ge is celebrating the Chinese New Year with Kristian, and Kristian’s partner Tim came over for a vacation. However, Italy is currently dealing with an epidemic. So, Kristian and his partner decided to stay. Lao Niu said he wants to invite them to the beach volleyball base in Hainan.”
This way, the Chinese men’s volleyball team could once again benefit from some lessons with the kings of beach volleyball.
