Net king: Muying Guanghua

Chapter 51 Frustration
Chapter 52 Frustration
Although the school has just started, the training of the tennis department has not relaxed at all.Soon after the start of school, the regional qualifiers of the national competition will be held, and the main candidates will not relax at all.The members of the first grade are not allowed to touch the racket yet, and can only do basic exercises.Wentai complained for a long time because of this, Ximu sighed helplessly, when will this child grow up?

In the club room, Shibata and Suzuki were discussing something. "What's going on here?" Suzuki frowned. This year's rookie competition took such a form. Should she say that the Tennis Association is irresponsible or lighten the burden?Shibata "I don't think it's a problem to send a few of them to the court. The men's side, Yukimura and Sanada, can all play." Suzuki closed his eyes, his eyebrows trembling uncontrollably. What exactly is the Tennis Association trying to do? "It's really irresponsible." Suzuki spat out a sentence coldly. Five games, three singles and two singles, two of which were decided by the players of both sides, one men's singles, one women's singles and one mixed game. For doubles, one of the other two matches is a doubles match and the other is a singles match. The players of both sides decide whether to compete in the men's doubles or women's doubles, men's singles or women's singles. Is there such a hassle-free way?Suzuki couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"Suzuki, there are not many girls this year. Have you decided on the candidate?" Shibata asked. The men's side is easy to handle. Shibata knows the strength of Yukimura, Sanada, and Yanagi very well, but he doesn't know the situation of the girls' side. . "What I can confirm for the time being is Cang Ye Ximu, and the women's doubles will send Takeuchi and Imai to play," Suzuki gave his opinion pertinently. "Then how about we test their abilities?" Shibata smiled playfully, and Suzuki nodded.

On the court, after the first-year players finished their warm-up exercises, Minister Shibata and Deputy Minister Suzuki walked into the court to separate the male and female players.Suzuki said seriously: "The internal practice match is now going on. Those who don't want to participate or think that they are not qualified for the competition will stand outside the court first, and those who stay will be selected by the regular selection." The first time I came into contact with tennis, some people joined the tennis club for the purpose of exercising, but there were only eight people who really had tennis skills.The five female candidates for the Tennis Club are Vice Minister Haruka Suzuki, Eka Sakai, Misa Aida, Rina Aikawa, and Naoko Akitsu. These five are all third graders and have been teammates since junior high school.After the other four had chosen their opponents, Suzuki Qinghua looked at Ximu, and lightly opened her thin lips, "Cangye Ximu" Ximu sighed lightly, knowing that she would pick her as an opponent.

Suzuki asked the other groups to compete first, and told them to test the strength of other members after the competition, and now she was going to face Cangye Ximu, whom she had always regarded as the biggest obstacle.Ximu knelt down to tie his shoelaces, but heard the undisguised voice behind him, "Why did Senior Suzuki ask her to compete?" "Isn't it just playing tennis earlier than us? It's just a better foundation. I really want Senior Suzuki to play tennis with her." Give me some pointers." "What's there to watch in this match, anyway, Senior Suzuki must have won in the end..." Ximu didn't respond, and other people's opinions had nothing to do with her.Sakai Keika held her forehead helplessly, don't these people usually care about tennis news?Cangye Ximu, known as the wonder of tennis, just has a better foundation?Whether Suzuki can win in the end is still unknown. After all, the only game Suzuki Haruka lost in his entire middle school tennis career was against Aoye Ximu.This has always been Suzuki's pain. After that loss, Suzuki was very annoyed, and she has been training herself strictly since then, just to be able to defeat Cangye Ximu.

Ximu stood on the side of the field, facing Suzuki Qinghua's gaze that was deeply locked on her body. It was a gaze that respected her opponent but was provocative. She respected her, and she also wanted to defeat her, so why not Ximu?The referee of the game was Noriko Ando, ​​a second-year substitute. "The game starts, Suzuki serves" Noriko Ando calmly shouted after the turn, Ximu stood at the bottom line, waiting for Suzuki to serve.

Finally, when this moment came, she thought she would be excited, but she didn't expect to be so calm. Facing the opponent who had defeated her, she was unwilling to fail.Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that after failure, I dare not stand up, and the words that the coach said to me suddenly appeared in my mind. During this period of time, the number of times of failure in professional tennis matches has increased, and she is used to it. How to adapt to failure.Throwing away the ball, swinging the racket swiftly, the yellow ball is sent to the opponent like a bullet.

Serving so fast, Ximu quickly reacted and hit a beautiful forehand smash, hitting back Suzuki's serve.The two fought against each other for a dozen rounds on the first ball, and Suzuki finally scored the point with a smash. "Ah, it was so fierce at the beginning, Suzuki didn't show any mercy." Aida Misa laughed jokingly, and Sakai Keika responded with a smile: "Facing such an opponent, no one will let go." Whether it is Suzuki or Cang Wild, they can be regarded as one of the best players in the women's tennis world, and they can't relax even a point in the competition.When the two were talking, Suzuki and Ximu had scored two points each. After Ximu returned the ball, he saw that Suzuki had already reached the net. She wanted to score this point with a volley?

When Ximu was thinking, he had already stood on the center line. As expected, Suzuki Qinghua played a volley, and Ximu counterattacked with a forehand smash.Suzuki Haruka's motor nerves are so agile, he quickly intercepted the yellow ball going to the backcourt, and the two staged a wonderful confrontation in front of the net.Aikawa Rina exclaimed: "No way? They are attacking at such a short distance?" It hurts to be hit head-on by a ball due to negligence, and these two people are really not ordinary people.In the highly tense confrontation, whoever relaxes first will be the first to lose. This time, the first one to relax is Aoye Ximu. Suzuki Haruka struggled to win the point and kept his serve.

An unprecedented sense of crisis surged in Ximu's heart. At this time, Suzuki Haruka stood on the opposite side of the court domineeringly, forming a powerful aura.Ximu stabilized his mind, and unceremoniously played his own serve trick, the phoenix spin. Suzuki couldn't see where the ball landed, and Ximu successfully kept the serve.After the men's team finished the day's training, the match between Suzuki and Ximu was not over yet. Neither of them could close the gap. The next tie-break.

"You guys go back first!" Liu changed his clothes and came out and found that there was still a match on the tennis court. Adhering to the principle of never missing this match, Liu Yi stayed to watch the match without hesitation. Yukimura and the others had their own affairs, so they went first leave.It's just that no one noticed the disgusted look behind the glasses.Liu concentrated on watching the game, and kept recording their data.

The tie-break game lasted for half an hour, and Suzuki Haruka finally sealed the victory 36-35. The two entered the realm of selflessness since the beginning of the tiebreak, and staged a wonderful confrontation of selflessness.Ximu panted heavily, did he still lose?For some reason, I always feel empty in my heart, which is different from the feeling of losing to Namiko Takayama before.Suzuki smiled and shook hands with Ximu, even... just once, and finally defeated Cangye Ximu.Xi Mu struggled to pull out a smile, "You are amazing," "Thank you for the compliment, and I will pass on the same words to you." Suzuki was in a good mood, and there was indescribable joy in his words.

Everyone is praising them for playing a wonderful game, everyone is praising them for being very good tennis players, but Ximu, is this really the result you want?Ximu couldn't help asking himself, even if he played a wonderful game, is it really the desired result?As the sun sets, the originally dazzling sunlight has become gentle and softly sprinkled on the earth, but why does she still find it dazzling?Too dazzling to cry?It turns out... the taste of failure is so bitter, even though she knew Suzuki Qinghua's strength in her heart, she was really unwilling.

Not reconciled?Xi Mu was suddenly startled by the thoughts in her heart, it seemed that only this word could best express her mind.In the battle of the strong, one side is destined to lose, but I don't want to be the losing side, a small but firm voice tells myself in my heart.While taking a bath, Ximu clenched his fists and realized that his arms were already a little numb, with such heavy force.Perhaps Haruka Suzuki felt the same way when she was defeated by her, after all, she will understand after experiencing it.Standing up again after failure is what she is.

Ximu calmed down, packed up his books and went to piano lessons. So far, Ximu has been there for a week and has taken three lessons.Her piano teacher, Yuko Aoki, had doubts from the first class. At first, she comforted herself with the reason that the child accepted it faster. After three consecutive lessons, she felt more and more abnormal.After the two-hour class, Ximu successfully mastered several piano pieces in different keys. "Ximu, teacher has a question that I wanted to ask you for a long time." Teacher Aoki finally decided to ask clearly, Ximu was startled, could it be that he was not paying enough attention and was discovered by the teacher? "Huh?" Xi Muqiang looked at the teacher calmly. "Have you ever learned any musical instrument before?" Aoki Yuko asked. Ordinary people who are new to the piano will never have such a fast comprehension. If they have, they will definitely be a generation of ghosts.

Ximu breathed a sigh of relief, the teacher didn't find out, and then smiled and said: "Yes, I have learned the violin before." "Have you passed the exam?" Teacher Aoki continued to ask, and Ximu replied obediently: "I have passed the exam, and I have passed the exam." When I was a sophomore, I passed the tenth level in the exam." "No wonder, I said why your comprehension of music is so strong. You have a solid foundation. As long as you master the method, it will be a matter of time before you become a teacher." Teacher Aoki said with a smile, Xi Mu smiled embarrassedly, "Teacher has praised the prize." "Speaking of violin, there are several very good violin players in the Japanese Middle School Symphony Orchestra. You can communicate with them when you have time," Mr. Aoki suggested with a smile, Ximu nodded "Well, I am also one of them, and everyone usually rehearses together and prepares for the performance"

Looking at the back of Ximu leaving, Aoki Yuko breathed a sigh of relief, before hearing the old lady Cangye's tone, if she didn't teach Ximu well, she would be in bad luck, but now it seems that this situation will not happen.Ximu has a strong sense of sound. After mastering the piano playing method, it is not difficult to connect the melodies together. Perhaps because of playing the violin for a long time, Ximu knows how to integrate emotions into music, and what she has to do seems to be Teach her to read music coherently.Over time, her piano skills will improve even more. Although she doesn't like old lady Cangye very much, she really likes this girl.

Saying goodbye to Teacher Aoki, Ximu pulled on the windbreaker and wrapped himself up tightly, it was really cold at night.Let her come out for piano lessons so late, and no one will pick her up after the end, so she looks so safe and not afraid of being robbed?Xi Mu pouted dissatisfiedly, forget it, she didn't want to get involved with grandma, it would be great if she could take the initiative to think of sending a car to pick her up.

Ximu's foot speeded up. Even when he went home at night, he would go with his friends from the tennis club. He never walked alone at night. The streets were deserted and deserted.Ximu couldn't help but feel a little chilled, and thought to get home quickly, at least he didn't have to be so nervous. "Ximu" suddenly heard someone calling his name, Ximu was startled, turned around and found that Xingcun was walking towards her quickly. "Xingcun" saw his acquaintance Ximu's heart was relieved, and Xingcun looked at her suspiciously, "Why are you here alone at such a late hour?" Ximu smiled helplessly, "I just finished the piano lesson, Ready to go home" "Didn't your family send someone to pick you up?" Yukimura asked suspiciously, seeing the formation that came to welcome Senior Fengche before was really astounding, I thought Ximu was enjoying the same kind of treatment, But he didn't expect to meet her alone here.Ximu smiled bitterly and shook her head, she doesn't enjoy this kind of treatment "I'm not used to riding in a car" She doesn't want to mention the family affairs to anyone, and others may not believe it if she tells it.

Yukimura seemed to believe this reason, and he still said: "It's not safe for you to go home as a girl at this late hour." I took a karate training class and practiced for two years in a row. Although I don't say how good Ximu is, at least I can defend myself.Because there is no conflict with the tennis game, Yi Ximu's calm personality has never been known to others.Yukimura smiled, "I don't think you can be so reassuring about yourself." Ximu took his words very smoothly, "I will pass on the same words to you, so you should think about yourself before worrying about me!" The appearance of the moon-shame flower that sinks the fish and the wild goose is extremely easy to arouse the desire to commit crimes in others.Xingmura was slightly taken aback, and quickly realized the meaning of Ximu's words, and smiled evilly, "Thank you for your concern." Ximu stretched out his hand again to tighten the windbreaker, why did she feel a biting cold wind?Yukimura's words sounded like he was gnashing his teeth?Ximu responded to Yukimura's words with a smile, a devil's smile was clearly hidden under that kind face.

When she came to the fork in the road, Ximu smiled and said, "Just get here, my house is nearby." That being said, every time she went to piano lessons, she had to walk for half an hour, and it was not convenient to take a car. To transfer. "Since we're here, it's not far from your home, I'll take you home." It seemed that Yukimura was very persistent, even though Ximu knew that Yukimura's home was not near here at all, he was just following through on his promise.Ximu was silent and didn't speak, just walked silently, Xingcun didn't seem to think that his persistence would make Ximu silent, but his persistence made Ximu feel embarrassed.Ximu didn't want the family members to know, especially grandma, who didn't know what to say to her. Even though Ximu wouldn't listen to their words, he didn't want to cause too much trouble, "Xingcun, it's getting late, You should go back early too! I can go back by myself." The undeniable strength in the faint words made Yukimura slightly surprised, it was hard to imagine that Ximu would speak to him in such a tone.Yukimura said helplessly: "Okay." He finally gave up and let Ximu's own thoughts, when parting, Yukimura said: "Then you be careful." Ximu nodded lightly.

Ximu threw himself on the bed violently, and covered his eyes with his hands, why did he speak to Xingcun in such a bad tone?It's really bad that she treats Yukimura like this when she sent her home with good intentions.What happened to her?I feel like this is really abnormal.Living here is really depressing, so depressing that I can't breathe.Ximu felt bored, and forced himself not to think about these things, and forced himself to think about other things, such as tennis.When I think of tennis Ximu, I think of this defeat. Compared with the last match, Suzuki Haruka is like a different person.If it hadn't been for Ximu's personal experience, it would be hard for her to believe that there would be such a strong female player, except for those born with supernatural power like Kusakabe.Since she can do it, Ximu will not be far behind. Ximu secretly swears that she must defeat Suzuki Qinghua.

"Xing Cun, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday." Before the club activities started, Xi Mu looked for an opportunity to talk to Xing Cun, and Xing Cun smiled indifferently, "It's nothing, Xi Mu, if you have any unhappy things, you can tell me." "Hehe, thank you" Xi Mu said just now His eyes fell on a very gentlemanly man named Yagyu Hiroshi with neat short purple hair and rimless oval glasses.He looked at her with vigilance and even a hint of hostility. Liu Sheng and Xi Mu are classmates, and they haven't spoken a word so far.At first, Xi Mu always thought it was his own illusion, but as time went on, he felt that Liu Sheng was deliberately avoiding her.Xi Mu was puzzled, he had never done anything to offend Hiroshi Yagyu, he had only seen her a few times before, and he hadn't even said hello, why did he look at her with hostility?
