full speed in the wrong direction

still thinking about post-retirement yuhuang where huang shaotian goes on to become glory chairman while yu wenzhou stays at blue rain to run the training camp. it's the opposite of what anyone would have expected of their respective career paths.

but huang shaotian finds he loves the negotiation aspect of running the pro alliance. there are so many deals to be made and people to convince, and his sharp eye is so good at finding littke hidden things his skeptics want and manufacturing the opportunity to give it to them. for a price, of course, that aligns with what huang shaotian needs from them to push his agendas forward.

at blue rain, yu wenzhou is far less flashy. he's training the next generation of pros, reinforcing the culture of teamwork he's made blue rain famous for. in name, he's the team's head trainer yet over the years a parade of blue rain captains beat a path to his office. it's a delicate balance between quietly supporting them but giving them enough space to flourish. the main roster changes over the years but blue rain remains a team that's kind to its players.

there are occasional rumors that the gpa head office is unfairly biased towards blue rain, considering how often their head trainer is seen alongside the chairman. mostly people brush off the rumors as petty jealously. even decades after their retirement, everyone remembers blue rain's sword and curse.

a whole different slew of rumors surface when someone digs up the old marriage certificate.

hi anon, nice to see you again! i had a nice, relaxing weekend where i took some classes at the gym, read a lot of fic, and didn't do much else! we keep getting teased with nice weather and then it immediately gets chilly again. but no snow over here thankfully! snow in springtime should be illegal lol. i got a really cute denim jacket for spring and i still can't wear it, but hopefully that will change soon!

i can totally relate to "it's not getting better but i'm learning to live with it." sometimes, that's really all you can do. i think it counts as a win for both of us.

sending lots of good thoughts your way.

oooh leverage, how exciting!! i love leverage! what a great show and with great characters and such wonderful storytellng! leverage has a special place in my heart! and yesss parker i love her a lot! she's out there making family and jumping off buildings and being the best thief ever!

while i was watching the show, eliot was my favorite (and side character quinn who barely appears at all, but i love him a lot). but it's kind of funny, because looking back on the series, if i was going to watch it again for the first time ten years later (and me being ten years older) i think i would lean more towards sophie. something about a middle aged woman who gets an arc about finding herself is very appealing. also she's so hot send help.

i hope you have fun watching the show, it's one of my favorites!! have a great rest of the week! <3

I have family visiting this weekend and have been mentally preparing for having plans on friday night and all day sat and sun and maybe monday afternoon. and today I just found out there there are also thursday night plans (that nobody bothered to mention for the past two months). blog, i am so tired just thinking about it
