Ping Pong Life

Chapter 209 Special Training for Two
In the end, Wang Mei didn't ask Wang Chao what the solution was.

Just as Wang Chao never asked what the relationship between his mother and Mr. Tony was.

This winter should be Wang Chao's last leisurely and quiet winter.

In late December, the winter vacation of the student party came as scheduled, and the Spring Festival was just around the corner. The whole world was filled with anticipation and joy. With the chaotic Spring Festival travel and the perpetual traffic jams on the highway, the vast majority of Chinese people became more than this. Busier than any time in the past year.

Busy making phone calls, busy visiting relatives, busy weddings and weddings, busy getting married, busy going home for the New Year.

On Wang Chao's mobile phone, the high school class group called "My World" also had movement.

He usually blocks messages in this group, but when someone in the group names @ him, there will still be a reminder.

The person looking for him was the group leader, Zhou Zhen, who was also the class monitor at the time. He asked Chao Wang: "Do you have time to come out during the Chinese New Year? My classmates want to organize a party."

Perhaps because he was afraid that Wang Chao would refuse, he added: "Actually, all of us are very concerned about your current living conditions."

Wang Chao felt a little funny.

After all, the old squad leader has gone to college and learned how to speak. It is more accurate to replace this "concern" with "curiosity".

He sent a message directly: "Okay, let me know when the time comes."

Although this society is full of materialistic desires, the student party members are still relatively simple-minded. After half a semester, the same classmates from that year are now scattered all over the country. They go to different universities, study different majors, and live in different regions. Everyone is full of life insights and wants to talk to their old friends.

Perhaps ten years from now, the class reunion will become a place to compare and show off wealth, but at least for now, everyone really just wants to know each other's lives.

In the past six months, Wang Chao has had more encounters than anyone else in the class. He has frequently appeared in the live broadcast, especially T2. All the matches are broadcast live on the official sports channel of China Television Five. Don’t worry about Wang Chao’s games. Whether the students can understand it or not, at least listening to the commentary and the analysis of the anchors, it is quite awesome, all kinds of high-end tactics and high-end technology, bluffing them for a while.

So Zhou Zhen was actually "threatened" by many students in the class, and had to invite Wang Chao out, and a few prettier girls in the class subconsciously gave play to their gender advantages, secretly hinting Zhou Zhen: "If he doesn't come, it means that you are not good as a monitor."

Facts have proved that Zhou Zhen can still do it.

So one day at the end of December, under the organization of class monitor Zhou Zhen and study committee member Liu Bei, most of the students in the class gathered together.

At first, everyone was very interested in Wang Chao, and asked a lot of questions about professional table tennis players, such as how to train, how is the dormitory condition, how often do you have a vacation, and how do you feel about playing games with others? , Are you excited about going abroad for competitions, are the girls in Sakura Country really so soft and cute, and so on.

But after Wang Chao simply answered most of the questions, everyone found that there seemed to be no topics to discuss.

They talked about their respective campus life, and Wang Chao couldn't talk about it.

They said that Wang Chao couldn't talk about the good dramas and variety shows they were following recently.

They talked about their favorite stars and new songs they liked to listen to, but Wang Chao couldn't get in his mouth.

They said that a very interesting game was released recently, and they made an appointment to become friends with each other. After returning home, they went online to hack, but Wang Chao still couldn't get in the way.

So in the end, Han Feng, Liu Yue, and Hou Xiaojian were still chatting with him. The three of them drank, and Wang Chao drank.

"So, Chaozi, have you really not had any entertainment activities in the past six months?" Han Feng expressed his incomprehension: "At least you played games when you were in high school."

Wang Chao nodded with a smile: "Yes, I don't do anything except play."

Good friends are still good friends, but there are not so many topics to communicate with each other.

"Then are you in a relationship?" Liu Yue asked him: "I heard that in the table tennis base, the men's team and the women's team's training venues are next to each other, and the dormitories are also next to each other?"

Wang Chao nodded: "Yes."

The friends finally found the topic: "Then do you have a goal? I heard that the little girls who play table tennis are different from those who play basketball. There are many beautiful girls, and they exercise every day. Those legs, that waist, tsk tsk ..."

Wang Chao smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, brothers, I'm not familiar with the women's team players."

The three of them blinked, a little in disbelief, still not giving up, Hou Xiaojian said: "I watched your spade q match, your female team leader...is...called...what is it called?"

Wang Chao added: "Fan Xiaoxian."

"Yes, yes, yes." Hou Xiaojian said: "Big beauty, long-legged sister Yu, I think she treats you very well, you two are sitting on the contestant's bench and chatting all the time."

Wang Chao explained: "She has graduated from university for several years, and she has someone she likes."

Now, the three of them really have nothing to talk about.

So when the party was over, Wang Chao didn't plan to participate in the following k-singing activities, but chose to say goodbye to his classmates and go home alone.

When leaving, Han Feng felt a little guilty, pulled Wang Chao and said, "The three of us will go to your house to visit Sister Mei some other day."

Wang Chao nodded with a smile and did not refuse.

He came from another world, with a 40-year-old mature and independent soul. He thought that he didn't have too much affection with his friends in this body, and thought that the brotherhood of little kids was like a child's play to him. But sitting on the bus home, he felt a little depressed.

He realized that he was different from everyone else after all.

The life of a professional athlete must be devoted enough and pure enough, otherwise he will not be able to achieve results.

The life of a professional table tennis player requires ten times the investment and ten times the purity, otherwise, it is impossible to break out of the domestic arena where there are so many masters.

So he made a decision on the first night of joining the Jiangcheng team in July. He is like a monkey wearing a golden hoop. From now on, he will stay away from all entertainment and all kinds of desires. Ping-pong, I only have ping-pong in my heart.

He can no longer have the same life trajectory as his little friends.

He had to give up all kinds of happiness that college students couldn't give up, just for the supreme honor that hung in the distant sky ahead.

Those who climb the lone peak are always lonelier than the lone peak.

It is fair to gain something and lose something.

So, this winter, during this last leisurely period, apart from chasing dramas with his mother, he never touched a racket from the beginning to the end, and never thought about playing a ball.

This is not a fall, but a complete farewell to his past life.

He finished all the rituals quietly and unobserved.

A week later, the Spring Festival officially arrived.

During this period, the friends who said they would come to see Sister Mei did not come, but just called him to explain, to the effect that they did not expect so many weddings and weddings during the Chinese New Year, relatives who could not finish leaving, were too busy There is simply no room for communication.

Wang Chao expressed his understanding.

He and Wang Mei had a not-so-lonely Spring Festival. The New Year's Eve dinner table was full of big fish and meat. The mother and son ate desperately, but they couldn't finish it. In the end, their stomachs were full. , lying on the chair panting, panting, Wang Mei looked like she was about to cry, and said, "This year is really different from previous years."

Wang Chao walked over with a smile, gently hugged his mother, turned and entered the house.

He knew that his mother didn't want him to see her weak side, and he actually didn't want others to see her weak side.

When the new year is over, the world suddenly becomes deserted.

Deserted is relative, because all the families are out and about, paying New Year's greetings, only Wang Mei has no place to go.

She had a big fight with her parents 18 years ago because she insisted on having children out of wedlock, and then ran away from home and turned against her parents.

It turned out that she had made a mistake. The little gangster she liked chose to disappear in the end, unwilling to take responsibility, and pushed her into a desperate situation.

In the most difficult time, she once asked her parents for help, but her parents refused her.

Since then, she has treated herself as an orphan.

Deep in her heart, she once regretted the indulgence of her girlhood, but she complained more about her parents' cruelty, so even though her parents' attitude had loosened a few years ago and they took the initiative to call her several times, she On the phone, she rejected the other party's proposal to let her go home again and again.

Now that Wang is beyond the top, she is even more unwilling to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan.

"My mother raised a world champion with her strength, so why should I let others pick peaches?" She said this in front of Wang Chao.

Wang Chao didn't comment on this, anyway, he really didn't have the slightest affection for the grandparents in name.

He stood by his mother unconditionally.

So Wang Chao watched TV at home with his mother from the first to the third day of junior high school, and the small shop opened for business on the fourth day of junior high school, so Wang Mei started to get busy.

Wang Chao felt bored, so he packed up and wanted to report to the spade q base in advance.

But when he called, Fan Xiaoxian told him, "Stay at home with peace of mind. You don't have to work so hard. The Spring Split will start in February. Now there's not even a ghost in the base. You won't even have a place to eat when you go."

Wang Chao was speechless. After thinking for a while, he called He Jingping and asked if he could report to the national team training base.

"Why are you going there? The first match of this year will be played in February." After all, He Jingping is older and more sensitive than Fan Xiaoxian: "Can't you stay at home? Then come here first, anyway, I live alone , you can come with me."

Wang Chao smiled and rejected his teacher.

Rather than getting along with an old man day and night, he would rather go to the canteen every day to accompany his mother to continue fighting against neighbors in the neighborhood, and play the role of "other people's children".

But what he never expected was that on the third day after he made the phone call, He Jingping knocked on the door of his house against the wind and snow.

Wang Chao was stunned.

"I thought it would be boring to stay at home anyway, and you are fine, so I might as well just come and find you." He Jingping explained: "Actually, I have already planned it. When you enter the national team, the first major item is physical strength. Training. Since idleness is idleness, how about we start early?"

Wang Chao didn't say anything unnecessary, but he was a little moved in his heart.

He himself was really idle, but he knew that He Jingping was not boring at home at all.

The work of the coach of the national team is busy and hard, with great pressure. The Chinese New Year is a rare time to relax. What's more, this winter is very special. Zhu Ding has reconciled with him. Now, his life in the imperial capital should be very rich and happy.

But after realizing his own predicament, He Jingping came to Jiangcheng city without hesitation.

Just like when he saw that Zhu Ding was going to hunt water birds and eagles, he rushed to the country of cherry blossoms without hesitation.

He is such a person, impulsive and irrational, but both Zhu Ding and Luo Jiu are determined to follow him, after all, there is some reason.

He Jingping took Wang Chao directly to the Jiangcheng team training base.

The base was dark, not even a mouse, but it didn't matter, He Jingping just called Luo Zhihong, and the water and electricity in the base were opened in advance.

It doesn't matter if no one cooks, He Jingping has been a chef for three years after all.

Wang Chao was very curious, why did the ball lunatic force not stay at the base?If he was here, they could practice with each other, but now, He Jingping can only be with him.

Later, I heard from Luo Zhihong that something happened to Wuli's family this year, and he had to go home.

From the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Chao and He Jingping quietly started special training in the huge Jiangcheng team base.
