Ping Pong Life

Chapter 390
The straight-line distance from Imperial Capital to Houston is more than 1 kilometers, and there is no direct flight, and a connecting flight is needed halfway. This journey can be described as long. Wang Chao was half asleep and half awake in the first half. Sa Ran, he turned his head to look, but it was Tang Yuanyuan who changed seats with He Jingping and ran to him.

"Wang Chao, I have a question." Tang Yuanyuan remained in her usual style, speaking straightforwardly: "Tell me, if we cross-match with a beautiful country player, the effect is particularly poor, and we are eliminated in the first round. Does it count as completing the task?" ?”

When she said this, her voice was quite low, and her mouth was almost close to Wang Chao's ear. Obviously, this was not a normal problem, and she did not dare to let others hear it.

Wang Chao couldn't help being a little amused.

Just looking at Tang Yuanyuan's rolling eyes, he knew that Tang Yuanyuan was definitely not really worried about failing to get grades. What she really wanted to ask was: "If we deliberately fail to get grades, will Lao Cai make trouble for us?" .”

And to figure out this problem, we must first figure out what the Huaping coaching staff thinks, and what the General Administration of Sports thinks. After all, the leaders like to talk deliberately cloudy and foggy. Once the grades are too poor, will they turn their faces on the spot again, saying that they have lost Hua Ping's face and punished by God?

Of course, Tang Yuanyuan couldn't figure out such a laborious matter, and she would not dare to ask her teacher Ge Miao about such an outrageous question, so after much deliberation, Wang Chao was still the most reliable.

Facing Tang Yuanyuan's expectant eyes, Wang Chao shook his head with a smile: "No."

Tang Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly widened: "Really?"

Wang Chao nodded: "Really."

In fact, he has also thought about this issue carefully these days.

There is no doubt that the beautiful National Table Tennis Association's request this time is suspected of touching porcelain, and the General Administration is not stupid. Outside associations leave no chance for play and discredit.

Especially in table tennis, a project that the country attaches great importance to and is worthy enough.

After all, this year is the [-]th anniversary of "Small Ball Turning Big Ball", and it is also a year when the three table tennis competitions completely coincide. At such a coincident time, if the Beautiful National Table Tennis Association has no idea at all, it is really underestimating the world hero.

Those who live in the court are trembling and trembling like walking on thin ice. Sometimes they would rather suffer a little loss for [-]% security. Wang Chao fully understands this.

But it was also because he understood this level that Wang Chao was sure that this time it was not that the leader was playing with the art of speaking, but that he really didn't have any demands on himself, because they never thought of really being thanked by the Beautiful National Table Tennis Association. I want to quickly finish this process and pull it down.

So Wang Chao's trip this time, on the one hand, is to be a World Cup champion, and on the other hand, he has the right to travel at public expense. After all, he is the second substitute, and the chance of playing is zero. These days, he really has nothing to do.

In fact, even if Tang Yuanyuan didn't come, he planned to take the initiative to talk to Tang Yuanyuan.

But Tang Yuanyuan obviously made a mistake. After she was pleasantly surprised, she showed a grateful expression, and then punched Wang Chao hard on the shoulder, saying: "Good brother, you are very loyal."

This punch made Wang Chao snort, his body swayed, and he put his hand on his shoulder, he could only smile wryly.

I have to say that although Tang Yuanyuan's character is very comfortable to get along with, sometimes, such as this moment, he is really helpless.

If it was a cute girl who said to him "Oni-chan, you are the best" in a soft voice, wouldn't the painting style be much better?
"Then let's make an agreement." Tang Yuanyuan was originally a little depressed after receiving the task yesterday, but at this moment she was suddenly full of spirits, and poked a white and fleshy little finger in front of Wang Chao's eyes, wanting to hook him up : "The two of us are bad together, neither of us should practice hard, and then we will deliberately perform abnormally, and we will be eliminated in the first round together, and we mean what we say."

After pulling the hook, she felt uneasy, and patted Wang Chao's shoulder again, still with the familiar old-fashioned look: "Young man, you have to hold on when you come to a place of luxury and luxury like the beautiful country... That Lilith looks okay, don't be corrupted by sugar-coated bullets."

……

A few hours later, the plane landed, everyone got out of the cabin, and soon someone came to pick them up. The big team was naturally taken away by the official staff of the Beautiful National Table Tennis Association, but Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan were about to part ways with everyone here. Because beautiful country players Lilith and Kazik, with their respective personal trainers, also appeared among the pick-up personnel. They came here specially to pick up Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan.

"Don't we live with them?" Wang Chao was a little confused at this moment.

"No." Lilith is of Chinese descent, with her ponytail tied up, shaking her head when she shakes her head, and she looks very energetic. She has a decent smile on her face and speaks fluent Chinese: After getting good results, I booked a special private training venue, and I have to train hard in the next few days."

Wang Chao turned his head to look, and Cai Guodong, who personally led the team, nodded to him: "Go, remember to turn on your phone 24 hours a day, I will call you before the game."

Wang Chao had no choice but to follow orders. Before leaving, he and Tang Yuanyuan looked at each other and nodded slightly. The meaning was obvious: we will follow the plan.

At this time, Wang Chao's attitude was still very firm, because the first time he met Lilith, a contestant, he clearly felt that Lilith's attitude was upright, very reserved, very polite, and very measured, the only thing he lacked was It is enthusiasm. During the meeting a few days ago, Cai Guodong said that this girl is his die-hard fan, and strongly demanded to form a team with him. Obviously, this is just an excuse for the Beautiful National Table Tennis Association to try to hold their thighs.

But after getting into the car, closing the door, and rolling up the window, the painting style completely changed.

"Wang Chao!" Lilith's original restraint collapsed at once, and her eyes were a little frighteningly hot. He opened his arms generously to Wang Chao, laughed and said, "Wu Shuang Shenlong, come, let mom give you a hug."

The world was a little quiet at this moment, because Wang Chao was a little sluggish, and Lilith's personal trainer who was in charge of driving in front put his hand on his forehead, turned his head with a speechless expression, and said, "Lilith, put it away." point."

"You...you..." Wang Chao squeezed out two words with great effort.

But Lilith had already forcibly given Wang Chao a warm hug, her whole face was glowing with excitement, and then she started talking.

"I like you so much! I collected all your game videos, photos, and screenshots. I made an emoticon package for you. I also personally formed a Wang Chao support club in the Chinese circle in the beautiful country. , we regularly organize offline events, and watch your game live together..."

"I know all your information, your birthday is October 10th, you are a Libra, your blood type is O, your favorite color is black, you have no favorite stars, and you don't have a favorite movie, you like spicy food, your favorite The food is spicy chicken and boiled fish. For breakfast, I like to eat hot dry noodles and three fresh bean curds. After I went to the imperial capital, I started to like to drink bean juice..."

"I really like your playing style, and you can't guess my favorite game. It's not the game you played against Sun Tianlong this year, because I can't understand..."

She was chattering all by herself, and Wang Chao couldn't get in the conversation at all. After a long time, she suddenly stopped and said, "Wang Chao, do you have a girlfriend?"

Wang Chao felt his scalp go numb, and said, "No... the national team does not allow dating."

"Hey, it's a pity. I thought you and Tang Yuanyuan were a couple. I wanted to ask you for details. It's really boring." Lilith was quite disappointed, but then she became excited again: "Are you on the plane?" Eat? Are you hungry? Let me tell you, I have traveled all over Chinatown in the past few days, and found a breakfast shop that sells hot and dry noodles, and there are many good Sichuan restaurants, and I will take you there now."

At this moment, Wang Chao finally believed in one thing: this girl... oh no, this sister who is five years older than him is probably really his fan, not an excuse for the beautiful National Table Tennis Association.

Because she really knows all of her personal information, and the most frightening thing is that she actually knows something that she doesn't even know: Is my favorite color black?
Who on earth spread this tmd?

Obviously my favorite is yellow.

A bad person who spread rumors, curse him for buying instant noodles without seasoning packets!

At this moment, Qin Huachang, who was thousands of miles away, sneezed, and murmured: "I'm getting old, I just turned on the air conditioner for half an hour, and I caught a cold."

Old Qin didn't know that this was the power of curse in the dark.

That's right, he spread the news, but he didn't do it unintentionally. The reason was that someone in the live broadcast room asked Wang Chao's personal hobbies in a barrage. In order for Lao Qin to see it, he even sent a rocket.

At that time, Lao Qin smiled coldly and thought to himself, this kid is black from the inside to the outside. I may not know what movies or stars he likes, but his favorite color must be black.

He just said this casually, which was actually a pun intended to be sarcastic, but he didn't know that it was Lilith who sent the rocket, and this answer was recorded by Lilith as a standard answer, and she formed a Shared it with other fans in Wang Chao's support club group.

At this moment, Wang Chao was a little surprised: "Shouldn't we go to the arena first?"

Lilith glanced at him: "Arena? What arena?"

"Didn't you say that you booked a special private training venue?" Wang Chao faintly felt something was wrong.

"Oh, that, just kidding, I haven't made up my mind yet, I've been in New York before, and I've only been in Houston for a few days, and I've been looking for food in Chinatown." Lilith shrugged: "I know you The second time is the status of the second substitute, there is no chance to play, it doesn't matter if you train or not."

Wang Chao blinked. Even with his wisdom, he was a little confused: "But... didn't you take the initiative to find us to form a cross-team, and want to get a good result in the Brazil Open?"

Lilith chuckled: "That's all the idea of ​​that brat Kazik, and it has nothing to do with me."

She paused, and seeing Wang Chao's bewildered expression, she explained: "The higher-ups really want to show their results, and Kazik is also very motivated, but personally, I just want to form a team with you , when the time comes, I will record the video of the game and keep it in my collection.”

She smiled freely: "This is considered a success in chasing stars."

Having said that, Wang Chao has nothing to say.

Then the car stopped, and the destination turned out to be a Sichuan restaurant in the local Chinatown. Lilith should have ordered the meal a long time ago. As soon as the two entered the door, the food came out within 5 minutes. It really was boiled water that he likes to eat. Fish and spicy chicken.

Of course, these two dishes are far from his favorites, they can only be said to be okay, and the reason why Lilith has a lot of wrong information is all because of Lao Qin's nonsense in the live broadcast room.

"How is it? Is it delicious? Is it authentic?" Lilith was very concerned and kept asking.

Wang Chao only nodded.

In fact, it is not authentic at all, the chili is not spicy enough, the fried chicken is not dry enough, the fish fillet is a bit dehydrated, and the most terrible thing is that there is a layer of apple chips sprinkled on the surface of the boiled fish. This is definitely the native place after the chef came to the beautiful country improvement.

But Lilith has never really stayed in Huaguo. Since she found this store after running for a few days, it must be authentic in her mind.

Although Wang Chao is not used to Lilith's beautiful Chinese style of enthusiasm, and he is a little insensitive to things like mother fans, he also knows how to live up to the other party's good intentions.

After dinner, the two still didn't go to the arena. Lily took him to the famous Miller Amphitheater and watched a movie. After watching it, it was already dark, and the two returned to Chinatown and changed their home. When it was dark at night, I finally stepped into the private arena that had been booked long ago.

"Don't get me wrong, this is not a date, and it's not that I like you, it's just an immersive one-day experience with my idol." Lilith has a very free and easy personality, and she comforted Wang Chao with a smile: "Don't worry, let's treat it as today." Indulge with me for a while, and from tomorrow onwards, we will practice hard... I will work hard and not let you lose face on the court."

Wang Chao opened his mouth, but really didn't know what to say.

Do you want to say that you don't need to work hard because I didn't want to fight well?

If Lilith was a pure stranger, he could naturally put it off, but after this day, he could really feel Lilith's sincerity and enthusiasm for him, so what should he do next?
At this time, he felt the phone ring in his trouser pocket.

Surprisingly, it wasn't from Tang Yuanyuan or He Jingping, but from Cai Guodong himself.

"How's your training situation here? Didn't you deliberately stab me?" Cai Guodong's tone was a bit aggressive: "Wang Chao, I'm not talking about you, and it's not like you don't know that Tang Yuanyuan is a bit of a brain. You have been with her for a long time, so you should teach her well...... Can't you know what you can do and what you can't do?"

Wang Chao was quite puzzled and asked what happened.

Lao Cai didn't answer, and waited for five or six seconds before asking suspiciously, "You really didn't teach her?"

Wang Chao smiled wryly: "Just tell me quickly, what is she doing?"

In fact, it's nothing, the glutinous rice balls just bumped people...

Just like when she trained with Wang Chao on the first day, she knocked Kazik, a 19-year-old male contestant from the beautiful country, to the ground, and said "I didn't mean to" as if nothing had happened.

But she didn't expect that the arena was monitored.

Cai Guodong got the surveillance video sent to him by Kazik's personal trainer half an hour later. It clearly showed that Tang Yuanyuan had just caught a ball at that time, and she should have stepped back to make way for her, but she refused to do so on purpose. One leg is straightened and the other is bent, deliberately forming a stable triangular structure, firmly fixed on the floor, when Kazik comes over to save the ball, the shoulders actively exert force, the movement is very beautiful, the force is very thorough, quite gorgeous Guogu Wu's posture "sticking to the mountain and leaning against the mountain" means that he just knocked the young and thin guy more than one meter away, and he didn't get up for a long time.

Fortunately, Kazik was very generous and took the initiative to explain to her that he just wanted to learn and improve, and didn't mean to break up the Tang Dynasty team on purpose. Please forgive her and ask her to cooperate with me in the days to come. Thank you for your advice.

The matter was settled, but Lao Cai was furious. He didn't believe that Tang Yuanyuan could come up with such a wicked idea, so he directly called Wang Chao's cell phone.

Wang Chao remained silent for a long time.

He really wanted to say "I'm really wronged", but thinking about it carefully, if he hadn't expressed his attitude on the plane and given Tang Yuanyuan a reassurance, Tang Yuanyuan probably wouldn't be able to do such a weird thing.

So in the end he just said "I'll call him to talk him out".

Lao Cai was worried, and asked, "What's going on with you?"

"Everything is good. I trained very hard and cooperated very well. I think I will win the championship." Wang Chao was full of nonsense: "If you don't believe me, you can ask my partner directly."

He handed the phone to Lilith, who had been eavesdropping openly and aboveboard. Lilith answered the phone without being shy, and immediately resumed the dignified and reserved attitude she had when we first met in the morning, and said, "Hello, Mr. Cai, Wang and I Chao's practice went very smoothly, I am very grateful to Huaping for helping our beautiful National Table Tennis Association, um, um, yes, it is like this, and I will definitely get a good ranking by then, which will definitely surprise you."

When the phone was hung up, Cai Guodong was relieved, but at the same time depressed.

Although he disapproved of Tang Yuanyuan deliberately bumping into people, he still appreciated Tang Yuanyuan's resistance. But what happened to Wang Chao, did he really want to take the beautiful country players to win the card?Is this not understanding the correct spirit of the General Administration?But with that kid's shrewdness, he shouldn't...

But he didn't know that on the other end, Wang Chao was also a little depressed.

He was thinking, Tang Yuanyuan had already shown such a clear attitude, so he had to keep up with it.

After all, we have an agreement that the hook cannot be changed for 100 years.

But the problem is, right now Lilith is in a situation that I didn't expect at all, do I really want to trick her?

Don't think that Lilith really doesn't have any demands for results. You must know that this time the two table tennis associations met directly to discuss the matter. This scale is large enough. However, Lilith is expected to suffer severely from the Beautiful National Table Tennis Association.

At this time, she told Wang Chao that grades don't matter, but she actually didn't want to put pressure on Wang Chao.

This is a rare thought that cannot be faked.

"Then... keep her in the top eight?"
