On October 20, 2017, the first round of the Russian Super League was about to begin.

This time it was their home game against the Steel Club of Yekaterinburg.

Qin Chunxiao took Li Ling to the arena to prepare early, and while Li Ling was going to the bathroom, Anton walked up to Qin Chunxiao and talked to Qin Chunxiao kindly.

Anton said reassuringly: “It’s normal to be nervous when playing a club game for the first time. You just need to catch a pass. As long as the ball is up, leave the rest to me.”

Qin Chunxiao: “Yes.”

Anton: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t catch it well. I have been playing for many years to adjust the ball. As long as the ball is still in the court, I can catch it and make a setter pass. The intensity of the Russian Super League will be relatively high. You have to face it calmly.” Oh, anyway, you’re still young, and if you don’t play well in a game, everyone won’t ask you too hard.”

Qin Chunxiao: “Oh.”

Qin Chunxiao had heard many people said this familiar words of the boss, but Anton’s version was particularly hard-pressed, as soon as he heard it, he knew that he had been tricked by countless passers in the arena in the past.

After a while, Qin Chunxiao wondered, “Where is Er Leng?”

It took almost half an hour to go to the toilet. Could it be that he fell into the pit?

In Qin Chunxiao’s perception, Li Ling was the one who could make this kind of oolong, so he hurriedly went to the toilet to find someone, and Anton followed. The two failed to find anyone in the toilet, and when they went back to the stadium to find the staff to broadcast, But just in time to see Li Ling supporting a thin silver-haired old man.

Li Ling said in half-baked English: “Be careful, pay attention to the steps under your feet, sir, are you sure you are sitting in the third row of seat 2?”

The thin old man raised the card hanging around his neck: “It’s No. 2 in row 3. I bought a package ticket for the whole season. This is my fixed seat.”

Qin Chunxiao looked at it for a while, then turned to the auditorium and walked up to them: “Sir, let me see your ticket.”

The thin old man held up the card in front of Qin Chunxiao, with two rows of characters written in Russian on it.

[Hello, I am Powell, a patient with Alzheimer’s disease. If I am lost, here are two numbers to contact my family. My family will appreciate you.】

The first row of numbers was a normal mobile phone number, and the second row of numbers was the contact number of the Hamster Club’s back office. All the players in the team had saved it.

Alexander once told Qin Chunxiao that No. 3, row 2 of this arena belongs to Powell’s fixed seat, and the staff would not sell tickets for this position.

Qin Chunxiao asked Li Ling to send him there, and then called Alexander, who rushed over quickly, seeing Li Ling chatting happily with the skinny old man, his face full of disbelief.

“Thank you, Powell came to watch the game with his grandson today, but his grandson saw a beautiful girl and wanted to hook up, and Powell got lost. Fortunately, he got here by himself, but how did Er Leng do it? It’s been a long time since Powell had such a good conversation with someone.”

Qin Chunxiao: “I can’t understand this point either.”

How can ordinary people understand Er Leng’s thinking?

They looked at each other, walked behind Li Ling and Powell at the same time, and heard the two talking happily.

Li Ling: “I have a teammate named Misha, he is very strict, every time I do not do well in school exams, he will make a bad face, and then call my parents, mother and brother to watch my homework.”

Powell: “I have a teammate named Roman, he is always very slack, and I often scold him, but if he is not so lazy in training, we should win the gold medal in the Olympics, but he just refuses, which hurts us. I was almost eliminated in the quarter-finals, but the Chinese team has a rookie named Yang Yun who played really well.”

Li Ling: “Wow, you have participated in the Olympics, I have never participated in it, but we will definitely go to the next Olympics!”

Alexander leaned into Qin Chunxiao’s ear and said, “Powell had a teammate named Roman when he was playing, and he has been dead for two years. Old Roman’s grandson, Roman Jr., is also playing volleyball now.”

Qin Chunxiao understood that the Russian men’s volleyball beast Roman came from a volleyball family, which coincided with the information given by Alexander.

Obviously, what Li Ling and Powell were talking about was not from the same era at all, but they were highly consistent in complaining about their teammates, and they miraculously connected their brain waves.

Qin Chunxiao stood behind Li Ling expressionlessly and listened to his pap.

Li Ling: “Misha is also very hairy. He has to clean up every week, spray disinfectant, and he will always wear a big bag of masks when he goes out. By the way, he is also cautious. I once took pictures before a practice game and sent a scarf. Let him step on the bench to shoot with us, so as not to get his head into the camera, he actually insisted on waiting until the end of the game, dragged me outside the field and beat me up!”

Powell: “It would be great if Roman was like your teammate. He always doesn’t like to clean, and he puts his socks and towels together, and then his towels always smell like salted fish. Once I asked him to borrow a towel. Then it stinks deliriously all day.”

Li Ling was shocked: “You still have such stinky feet? Then your teammates are more difficult to get along with than mine. That’s right. Although we are talking bad things about our teammates now, we can’t spread these words outside…”

He also knew that he was speaking ill of others behind his back!

The more Li Ling talked, the more sweat dripped on Alexander’s forehead. He tried to remind Li Ling a few times, but saw the smile on Powell’s face again.

Powell hadn’t smiled this much in a long time.

In order to protect his teacher’s smile, Alexander held back his words, thinking apologetically, after Er Leng was beaten, he should invite him to participate in his extra training. It happened that the coach told him that Er Leng’s shoulder conditions were the same as his resemblance.

At this moment, he saw Qin Chunxiao turn and leave with very light steps.

Alexander looked at his back, with a smile on his cold face. He quietly listened to Li Ling and Powell’s conversation, and when the time was almost up, he reminded Li Ling to warm up, and he stayed by Powell’s side until his grandson hurried over.

From the beginning to the end, Li Ling didn’t notice Qin Chunxiao’s presence.

Alexander walked back with Li Ling, thinking, Misha Qin is really a kind person.

However, during the warm-up, the kind-hearted Misha Qin only said a word, and let Er Leng roll off the foam roller.

“I have a lot of homework tonight, so I won’t cook at night. You can go to the cafeteria after the game.”

Li Ling screamed: “Why? Didn’t you finish your homework a few days ago?”

The food in the Hamster Club was not bad, but the tastes of Chinese and Russians were different, so Qin Chunxiao still prepared the pots and pans, got ingredients from the cafeteria, and occasionally started a tooth festival by himself, while Li Ling followed the meal.

Qin Chunxiao said righteously: “In order to ensure that when I go back to take the final exam, my grades will still be in the top 30 in the grade, I decided to study more papers.”

Li Ling began to howl, and Qin Chunxiao said impatiently, “It’s so noisy.” Li Ling understood that his partner was determined and acting like a baby was useless, so he could only climb back on the foam roller in a grievance.

Although Alexander didn’t know what they communicated in Chinese, he generally understood that Li Ling had been dealt with. He unexpectedly remembered what Li Ling said – Misha Qin was narrow-minded.

He was full of emotion: “It seems that kindness and narrow-mindedness are two qualities that will not conflict.”

Anton didn’t understand why his deputy team sighed: “What happened?”


Most of the sports clubs were distributed according to the city. Only big cities liked St. Petersburg and Moscow had two or three clubs in one city.

The Hamster Club had two national team stars, Alexander and Anton, and their status was not low in the hearts of fans in St. Petersburg. Therefore, the match between them and the Steel Club was agreed by the Russian volleyball team as the opening game of this year’s Russian Super League. When the game was about to start, The attendance rate in the arena was frighteningly high, and the Russian sports station also carried out a live broadcast.

Newton, Chang Xiaole, and Jiang Xiaohai in China have already turned on their computers and climbed over the wall to watch the game, while Fu Biyang and Qiao Mingming in Italy stumbled and started surfing the Internet.

Fu Biyang shook his chicken paws, facing the website address written by Lorenzo, and typed on the keyboard: “The text on this Italian website is really ugly.”

Qiao Mingming was anxious: “Can you hurry up!”

In Japan, You Ziyu, Min Yaoyang, and Mao Xunfeng also followed up the live broadcast with their computers on.

In the locker room, Nikolai began to read the starting lineup: “Support Alexander, setter Anton, main attack Oleg, Igor, secondary attack Danny, second assistant Soso, Misha, you are a libero.”

Libero!

Li Ling looked at Qin Chunxiao in shock. Did his Xiaozai not respond?

Qin Chunxiao’s face was calm: “Look, the coach said this when you went to the toilet.”

The Hamster Club had no shortage of good attackers, except for a strong passer. Qin Chunxiao’s height did not have an advantage in high-intensity competitions in Europe and America. It was normal for him to play a libero.

The hamster came to Qin Chunxiao to let him catch the ball.

Qin Chunxiao and his teammates walked into the player tunnel, and the DJ on the scene had already started to stir up the atmosphere, and the extremely fast tongue-tapping sound was chanting the names of the players of the two teams.

Fu Biyang let out a long sigh of relief: “Oh, I can be connected, hey, have they started yet?”

Beautiful cheerleading girls ran to both sides of the aisle waving colored balls.

Qiao Mingming opened his mouth wide: “The Russian Super League is good at playing, but the Chinese volleyball league doesn’t fix this.”

Fu Biyang: “Hey, foreign leagues are very good at playing, maybe we should also have this.”

DJ started to play the BGM: “The best setter of the European Championship is playing now, the Russian genius setter from Lake Baikal, our captain, the magical boy An-ton–“

Anton trotted out of the players’ channel and passed two rows of cheerleaders. He showed a bright smile, waved his hands, and ran to the coach’s bench to give the coach a high-five.

Then there is “2015 Russian Super League Regular Season MVP, Siberian Tigers, Alexander——”

Alexander, who was wearing a blue-backed black-edged jersey, also ran out.

The audience continued to cheer. They all showed enough enthusiasm for the ace returning from injury. Qin Chunxiao looked curiously at the No. 2 position in the third row to the east. The thin old man Powell was sitting there, and the other players were dumbfounded when they came out. Dazed, he didn’t applaud slowly until Alexander came out.

The players ran out one by one. Qin Chunxiao took off his coat, revealing a black-and-white jersey that was different from his teammates. In the dark player passage, he looked calm and his blue eyes gleamed.

At this time, DJ said passionately: “He is the first volleyball player to win the MVP of the World Youth Championship for his defense in the past 20 years. He is the youngest best receiver and MVP of the Asian Championships. He is praised as the champion the iron wall of the team, Misha—Qin—”

Qin Chunxiao ran towards the light source in front of the passage.

With the enthusiastic voices pouring into his ears, he stepped onto the field, and his friends in foreign countries showed surprised looks.

Xiaozai actually wore a jersey of a different color from his teammates, which means that he would play as a libero today!

Qiao Mingming stood up: “He’s playing a libero? Isn’t it necessary to concentrate all our strength on defense?”

Had they seen Qin Chunxiao defend with all his might before? It seemed that it had never happened before, because most of the time, Qin Chunxiao also needed to be on the offensive end to ensure that the team’s scoring efficiency was not pulled too far by the opponent.

In the arena of the Hamster Club – Roller Sports Center, after the starting players on both sides played, Anton stretched out his hand: “We didn’t even make it back to the playoffs last year. This is our biggest regret. This year we will flatten these regrets. Brothers, come!”

He folded his palms one by one.

Anton yelled, “Ulla!”

All the hunks in the Hamster Club shouted in unison: “Ulla!”
