Chapter 54 The Longest Confession

Lu Sheng's emotions that had been suppressed for so many days suddenly became clear at this moment.Along with that, the many depressions, awkwardness, grievances, and all kinds of troubles encountered in the provincial team quietly receded like the tide, and the sea and the sky became brighter in front of him.

After returning to the team, she said to Xu Zhiyao, "If you want to change a world, you must first conquer it."

Xu Zhiyao was a little confused, "Junior Sister, what do you want to change? Who do you want to conquer? Me? Don't bother, I'll sing "Conquer" for you!"

... Lu Sheng didn't want to talk to him anymore.

When she first saw the competition list, she did have the urge to ask the leader for an explanation. Now, she is very calm.Since she can only play mixed doubles, she should work hard to practice mixed doubles well.In the competition with Nan Ge, she was easily given up by the leaders, but she would not give up on herself.

The next day, Xu Zhiyao had a talk with Li Weiguo, saying that he didn't want to play men's singles anymore, and he hoped to play mixed doubles with Lu Sheng wholeheartedly.

Li Weiguo thought he was joking.

"Really," Xu Zhiyao said very sincerely, "Actually, I've been very busy recently, and I don't have the energy to take care of both. I'm sure I won't get a very good ranking in the men's singles, and I can still fight in the mixed doubles." He felt that he This reason is very convincing.

Li Weiguo didn't believe it even more, "Aren't you just training all day long, what else can you do? Blind date?"

"No, I'm going to participate in a math competition in October this year."

"... Huh?" Li Weiguo's expression became more and more mysterious.

It is no wonder that Li Weiguo reacted so strongly. When an athlete's identity is associated with a math competition, it always makes people feel particularly unreal, especially in China.

——How can a child who studies well become an athlete?

Not to mention ordinary people, even athletes themselves think so.

Xu Zhiyao patiently explained to him, "The math competition is the one that happens every year. I often do math problems. Haven't you seen it, coach?"

"I thought you were pretending."

"..."

Li Weiguo's reason is very good: In order to attract the attention of girls, what kind of tricks have young boys never played?

Li Weiguo once believed that using math problems to disguise IQ is indeed a new way. After all, almost no one in the provincial team has actually seen what the math competition questions look like, and it is impossible to know the correct answer.Even if Xu Zhiyao drew a piece of mooncake, he said that was the answer. Does anyone have any objections?Therefore, although Xu Zhiyao's way of opening the peacock's screen is very fake, it is very effective. The girls of the women's team seem to like Xu Zhiyao very much, and they have nothing to do with him.This product has quick response, good eloquence, humor, and good looks. It is the one that especially pleases little girls. ...

At that time, Li Weiguo was very sure of his speculation, and combined with the reality to provide multiple evidences.

Now, he was slapped in the face by reality.

Li Weiguo looked at Xu Zhiyao incomprehensibly, "I'm curious, since you have studied well, why do you still come to play tennis? Are you not afraid of being tired?"

"Not afraid."

"Hehe." He sneered.

Xu Zhiyao coughed dryly and explained, "Actually, apart from my good math and physics, I'm a mess in other subjects, especially Chinese and English. The exams are all at a single-digit level. So our teacher said that if I want to go to college, I only need This is the way to participate in the competition."

"So do you want to go to college?"

"I..." Xu Zhiyao was stunned, "I haven't thought about it. But I like doing math problems, the key is not tired at all. When you are tired from training, it feels good to do a few problems to relax. Yes. I don’t have any other recreational activities.” I felt a little aggrieved while talking.His most frequent entertainment every day is doing quizzes, is there anything more tragic than this...

But what if you go to college?Dad was right, even if he got into college with his math grades, he would still be expelled if he fails in all subjects other than his major... So, there's no need to think too much.

Li Weiguo looked at him with envy and hatred. After watching for a while, he asked Xu Zhiyao: "So, if you go to college in the future, will you still play tennis?"

Xu Zhiyao thought about it seriously, "I don't know."

Li Weiguo sighed, "I suggest you stop hitting."

"why?"

"Because...the road of being an athlete is very hard, a thousand times harder than going to college. Since you don't have to work so hard, don't wade into this muddy water."

Xu Zhiyao suddenly felt a little strange, "Coach Li, why don't you ask me if I like tennis?" It seems that when he encountered problems in life before, he was asked this question more often.Even his own father asked him that.

Li Weiguo smiled, as if laughing at his innocence.Li Weiguo said, "Let me tell you the truth, I do what I do and hate what I do. It is not only naive but also unreliable to define a choice with 'like' and 'dislike'. Not every professional athlete likes it from the bottom of his heart. Playing. Even if I like it now, there is no guarantee that I will always like it.”

This argument is very new.Xu Zhiyao looked at him strangely, "Then why do you keep fighting?"

"What else can you do if you don't play? Some things, after a long time, you can't do without."

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyao's thick heart was inexplicably sad.He scratched his head, and suddenly got excited, "Coach Li, are you trying to persuade me to give up?"

"Where can it be?"

When Lu Sheng heard that Xu Zhiyao had given up on singles, she felt that he had lost his mind.

"I'd rather you give up mixed doubles than singles," she said, and then added after a pause. "Of course, you have to give up one. But you don't have to give up now!"

"Junior Sister, how can you do this?" Xu Zhiyao looked at her with teary eyes, "I gave up singles only to play mixed doubles with you, how can you yell at me!"

"I didn't... yell at you..." Lu Sheng held his forehead, and didn't dare to look down at Xu Zhiyao. She called him weakly, "Xu Zhiyao..."

"Huh? What?"

"Can you..."

"What? You can do it!"

"Stop being cute..."

The 1.8-meter rough man looks cute, and the lethality is really... the level of nuclear weapons!
When Xu Zhiyao interrupted, Lu Sheng had no other choice, so the matter was settled like this.

After that, in addition to training hard, Lu Sheng still trained hard.She was slapped in the face by reality, and she wanted to use her strength to slap reality in the face.

The extra training after the dissolution at night has also become her regular training.

Xu Zhiyao didn't train well during the day, but when he was with Lu Sheng at night, he was extraordinarily energetic.The two sometimes fight against each other, and sometimes form doubles to train against the wall, practice skills, practice awareness, practice positioning, and practice coordination.When Xu Zhiyao was silent, the empty stadium would be very quiet, only the sound of the two of them running and hitting the ball.The sound is very rhythmic and percussive, like fresh blood running continuously under the beating of the atrium.

Such innocent years, such abundant time, passed by quietly, leaving only a large afterimage in their lives.

Once, Xu Zhiyao asked Lu Sheng: "Junior Sister, do you like playing tennis?"

Lu Sheng nodded firmly without thinking, "I like it!"

Xu Zhiyao smiled, "That's great. You know, there are many professional players who don't like playing tennis at all."

"is it?"

"It's true. So you're lucky!"

Lu Sheng also felt very lucky.

Then Xu Zhiyao said again, "You are more fortunate..." He stopped here.

Lu Sheng asked curiously, "What is it?"

Xu Zhiyao raised his head with a smile, and said in a particularly smug way, "I am with you!"

He was joking, but Lu Sheng suddenly said to him with red eyes, "Xu Zhiyao, thank you!"

"Don't be like this," Xu Zhiyao panicked, "I... I'm just joking..."

"No, I'm serious." Lu Sheng looked at him very solemnly, "Really, Xu Zhiyao, I want to thank you."

What Xu Zhiyao wanted was not her thanks.

But what exactly does he want, well, he can't say for himself...

In order to express her gratitude to Xu Zhiyao, Lu Sheng specially adjusted the monthly rest in June to the 6th, which was Xu Zhiyao's birthday, and she went out to play with him.Buying gifts, eating cakes, shopping, oh, and I haven't caught a doll for a long time...

The half-day vacation passed by in a hurry, and the two walked out of the video game city with many dolls in their arms, still a little bit unfulfilled.When passing by a bookstore, Lu Sheng wanted to see if there was the latest chicken soup book.She is also more picky now, chicken soup books are good and bad, she wants to buy the ones with connotation, not exaggerated ones.

Xu Zhiyao accompanied her into the bookstore.He holds all the dolls, and she picks and chooses in front of the bookshelf.

Xu Zhiyao stood in front of the best-selling bookshelves to browse with his arms full of plush toys.He saw a book with an interesting title: "Companionship is the longest confession of love".

His nerves were suddenly touched, and he stared blankly at this sentence.

Accompanying is the most affectionate confession.

Well said!
If possible, he wished that his company could have no end.
