south wind into my arms

Chapter 34 The Champion and Farewell

Because of a look, the two hardly spoke after that.Silence is like stagnant gas, blending with the dark night, but it cannot melt away the subtle embarrassment.

The south wind suppressed the fleeting throbbing in his heart, he lowered his eyes to look at the lights outside the building, his face was as calm as a perfect human sculpture.

Lu Sheng's breathing became very light and cautious.The cold air in the winter night entered the respiratory tract, reached the chest, and swam against the atrium. The cool air made her clearer.

She thought to herself, does he not understand?Still don't want to understand?

Nanfeng sighed.When he was addicted to cigarettes, he unconsciously twitched his fingers, glanced down at Lu Sheng, and found that she was lowering her head. The night wind blew by, and the white pompon at the top of her red fleece hat trembled slightly, unable to say anything. cute.

Still a child, Nan Feng laughed at himself, not knowing whether to laugh at her or himself.He said, "Go back."

"Yeah." Lu Sheng was always obedient, she would do whatever he said.

After returning to the hotel, Nanfeng received a greeting call from Li Weiguo.Li Weiguo was also very curious about the first round of the little apprentice Nanfeng. When he heard that Lu Sheng had lost the first round, Li Weiguo said to Nanfeng in a slap in the face, "A round trip? I see you How dare you brag this time."

Nan Feng smiled and said, "Aren't you curious who she lost to?"

"Who?"

"Nan Ge."

"It's that little girl, I have an impression! The provincial team wanted to recruit her a year ago, but the little girl has very high vision, so she doesn't like the provincial team. She is rich and self-employed, and she doesn't know where she came from."

"I know."

"Ah?" Li Weiguo's appetite was whetted all of a sudden, "Tell me, let me see if there is any hope."

"She's my sister."

"..." Li Weiguo was silent for half a minute to digest this amazing inside story.

Li Weiguo knew who Nanfeng's father was, but these days, the richer the people, the lower the profile. Back then, the media didn't know much about Nanfeng's family situation.Li Weiguo is an old fritter. Nanfeng knows that his younger sister is still playing well, but he chooses to take care of other children. This behavior is too easy to cause food for thought.He didn't know what kind of grievances and hatreds were behind it, so Li Weiguo thoughtfully didn't ask.

It seems a little embarrassing to keep silent like this?After thinking about it, Li Weiguo said, "Your sister looks, it seems, not in the same style as you..."

This sentence is very oily, but it can be light or heavy.As expected, Nanfeng did not directly respond to the question of "not a style", he said: "Coach Li, I will show you the video of Lu Sheng's game this time."

"Okay, let me take a look."

On the second match day, Xu Zhiyao played the men's singles knockout match.He played two sets and advanced easily, but Nan Feng felt that Xu Zhiyao played a little slack in today's game.Although this guy exudes a "lazy" atmosphere, Xu Zhiyao's attitude towards the game is still serious, and it shouldn't be like today.

Without waiting for Nanfeng to ask, Xu Zhiyao made the move himself: "I want to save my energy for tomorrow's mixed doubles!"

Well, Xu Zhiyao's interests are different from those of ordinary players.In tennis, singles is the most exciting, and doubles is inferior to singles in terms of viewing and competition.Due to the difference in strength and physical strength between men and women, mixed doubles is more unorthodox than pure men's doubles and women's doubles.Therefore, the first choice of a tennis player's career is singles. If you can't get enough of singles, you will focus on men's doubles or women's doubles.Mixed doubles is a "buy one get one free" existence.Some high-level events do not have mixed doubles at all, and the Olympic Games do not have it from time to time, which shows the status of mixed doubles.

Xu Zhiyao doesn't care much about singles, and always has higher expectations for mixed doubles, which shows his wonderful taste.

In the afternoon, Nanfeng asked Lu Sheng and Xu Zhiyao to train to find their hands. At this time, he received a call from coach Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo's tone seemed a little excited: "Nanfeng, I watched the game video, your little apprentice is very malleable!"

Nanfeng smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression looked a bit embarrassed, but fortunately Li Weiguo couldn't see it.Nan Feng said, "How can you see that?"

"You really don't know?"

"My time as a coach is too short and I have no experience."

"Oh, that's right," Coach Li explained with a sense of pride in his profession, "She was playing against Nan Ge, and she did suffer a bit technically. But think about it, she's only been studying for five years. It is natural for her to have technical deficiencies. But her foundation is very solid, and there is a lot of room for improvement. She has only studied for a short time, and it is very good to be able to practice to this level. The most important thing is that she has only studied for a short time. The previous five years were purely laying the foundation, and now her potential has not really been tapped. Next, her strength will enter a period of rapid rise....Do you understand what I mean?" Coach Li said in one breath Much, without realizing that he was slapping his own face.

Nanfeng let out a "huh" to show that he understood.

"So I dare not say that she can play a Grand Slam, but if she practices hard, she can still reach the provincial first-tier."

"Ah."

"However, you have to practice hard. Nanfeng, are you reluctant to be cruel to the child? Lu Sheng's physical strength is not very good."

Nanfeng smiled helplessly.He really can't do this. He knows that athletes should train like livestock, but he really can't do it.At this level, he still feels that he is too cruel...

Therefore, he probably is really not suitable to be a coach.

In the end, Li Weiguo said, "I mentioned this to the team leader a few days ago, but now although Lu Sheng has no chance to reach the semi-finals, I told the leader that he can recruit in by opening a back door. Nanfeng, don't worry. .”

"No rush, Coach Li. We'll talk about it after the national competition is over."

Li Weiguo was a little confused, "What do you mean?"

"Singles can't advance, and there are doubles. Lu Sheng signed up for mixed doubles."

"Don't think about mixed doubles. With this level of competition, in mixed doubles, she has to win the national championship to be considered eligible to enter the provincial team, right?"

Nanfeng smiled lightly, "That's not sure."

Afterwards, Xu Zhiyao's singles entered the quarterfinals, and his mixed doubles with Lu Sheng also entered the quarterfinals.After the last doubles match, Lu Sheng said to Xu Zhiyao, "Xu Zhiyao, don't talk to me in the future."

"Ah? What do you mean? Junior sister, are you going to break up with me?!"

Lu Sheng was a little embarrassed, "I mean, don't talk to me all the time during the competition..." There was a big fly buzzing in her ears, and she, who was always good-tempered, became a little irritable.

Xu Zhiyao was a little wronged: "Do you think I want to talk, I talk to prevent you from being distracted!"

I was equally distracted by what you said... Lu Sheng wanted to say this, but thinking that Xu Zhiyao's intention was for her own good, she was a little moved, so she didn't say anything else.

The promotion list is determined, followed by the national competition.Xu Zhiyao made a decision before the game: give up singles and focus on doubles.

Lu Sheng felt that his brain was probably broken, and she was very anxious for him, "You can't do this, singles are much more important than doubles!"

Xu Zhiyao twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking, to me, the place with you is more important.

Nanfeng has always been a laissez-faire attitude towards Xu Zhiyao, he will give up the game if he wants to.Ding Xiaoxiao couldn't believe that there would be such an irresponsible coach in the world.When she questioned Nanfeng, Nanfeng habitually told her to "shut up".

Ding Xiaoxiao felt that the people in this team were a little unreasonable.Only Shengsheng is a good person.

However, Ding Xiaoxiao also discovered that when Yaoyao and Shengsheng teamed up to play, it seemed that a positive buff was inexplicably added. He was in good condition, ran frequently, and strengthened his offensive and defensive strength. More than two percent.

Hmm, maybe the opponents are better than each other?After all, the tacit understanding between brothers and sisters like them is rare in mixed doubles.Everyone focuses on singles, and in mixed doubles, we can form teams casually.

In any case, Xu Zhiyao and Lu Sheng made great strides all the way to the national mixed doubles finals. In the end, they lost their opponents 3-2 and won the mixed doubles championship.

This day happens to be December 12st.The streets of the capital had a strong festive atmosphere, and Nanfeng took them to a very lively restaurant to celebrate with hot pot.

Nanfeng boiled a lot of meat for Lu Sheng.While putting sliced ​​mutton on her plate, he said, "I have already contacted the coach of the provincial team. If you won the mixed doubles championship this time, you can also enter the provincial team."

"Really?" Lu Sheng was very happy, looking at Nanfeng with radiance.

Her bright eyes made him want to laugh, so he smiled: "Yeah."

"Oh, congratulations," Ding Xiaoxiao patted the table lightly, "Come on, let's go together."

Lu Sheng toasted with them, took a sip of the fruit juice, and happily ate the mutton.

Nanfeng said, "When you return to T city, you can move to the provincial team. The training over there is tight. Ding Xiaoxiao, if you want to enter the provincial team, you can apply for it."

"Hey, although I don't want to be in the system, I really can't bear to part with Shengsheng and Yaoyao!" Ding Xiaoxiao looked worried.

It was rare for Xu Zhiyao not to dislike her calling him.He also silently picked up a chopstick of mutton for her.

However, Lu Sheng keenly heard other meanings from Nan Feng's words. She raised her head and looked at Nan Feng, "Why 'we', don't you want to move?"

Nanfeng looked down at the glass in front of him, the amber beer in the glass was clear and attractive.

Lu Sheng asked, "Coach, won't you go to the provincial team with us?"

"I," Nan Feng didn't want to look her in the eyes, he suddenly felt a bit difficult to answer this question, and there was a trace of "reluctance" in his heart that involved him, making him feel a little bit at a loss.He gritted his teeth and said it anyway, with a forced smile: "Lu Sheng, I can't accompany you anymore."
