Noon.

Cafeteria.

Wang Chao once again carried his plate and walked to the table of Lin Zijun and Zhuang Huishen.

But this time Zhuang Huishen did not take the initiative to give up the position like last night. Instead, he rolled his eyelids and looked impatient and disgusted, without even looking at Wang Chao.

Wang Chao is very shameless. He placed the dinner plate on the table next door, then moved a chair to the table next door, so he could make a temporary meal here.

After sitting down and putting down the plate, he smiled at Lin Zijun, "This morning... I'm sorry."

Lin Zijun couldn't be as obvious as Zhuang Huishen, but he lowered his head slightly and only focused on eating, neither looking at Wang Chao nor answering, just pretending not to hear.

Obviously, like Zhuang Huishen, he has opinions on Wang Chao.

"Don't be like this." Wang Chao said with a smile, "We are all professional athletes, what can't we think about losing? As the saying goes, we are opponents on the field and friends off the field. Let's talk. There will be many opportunities for us to meet in the international arena in the future."

Seeing that Lin Zijun still remained silent, he added, "You really can't afford to lose, can you?"

Lin Zijun can't bear it anymore.

He was too thin-skinned, and was already slightly red at this time. He stopped what he was doing, looked up at Wang Chao seriously, and said, "Of course I can afford to lose, but... you don't just want to win."

Wang Chao was stunned for a moment, showing an innocent expression.

At this moment, Lin Zijun had ten thousand grass and mud horses in his heart that wanted to gallop out and turn into a tide of beasts and trample Wang Chao to death. Unfortunately, he was too well-educated and was not born to curse, so after thinking about it, he couldn't think of how to express his strong emotions.

He is not stupid. Wang Chao was not simply competing with him this morning. He was trying to kill him.

It's like someone took a knife and stabbed your aorta directly, but you miraculously prevented it. So the next day he came to you and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have stabbed you yesterday. You didn't die anyway. How about we be friends."

In this situation, you actually showed an innocent expression?

You are so innocent, the victim is obviously me, okay!

Looking at this scene from a distance, Zhu Ding felt that Wang Chao was indeed a bit thick-skinned.

Wang Chao seemed unaware and said sincerely, "You really misunderstood me."

Lin Zijun: "..."

As the saying goes, a gentleman can be bullied, but when faced with a person who is too shameless, Lin Zijun is speechless.

Zhuang Huishen couldn't stand it any longer, and said impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say it, if you have a fart, just fart it, and get out of here as soon as you're done, there's so much nonsense."

He is someone who dares to fight even Taiwan Head Coach, so naturally he will not give any face to Wang Chao.

Wang Chao just pretended not to hear and continued to say to Lin Zijun, "Do you think I want to cripple you? Well, I guess so, because many people think so. My teammates asked me this just now. I feel really wronged... Have you ever thought about what good will it do to me if I cripple you?"

Lin Zijun's lips moved, but he still didn't speak.

What he actually wanted to say was, "Kill me and you, Huaping, will lose a big enemy in the future."

This is what he says in his heart, and he also has this confidence.

But the problem is that when you say this, it seems a bit too arrogant.

Lin Zijun didn't want to show arrogance, so he could only remain silent.

Wang Chao said again, "Although I agree that you are very powerful, but to be honest, we are only between equals. Do you admit this?"

Lin Zijun nodded.

"That's right." Wang Chao said, "I am a newcomer, and I will only have the opportunity to join the national team next year. If I want to achieve results in the future, the people who really have to surpass me are Sun Tianlong, Luo Jiu, and Lin Li Xiao Fei Bai Feng. No matter what, it is not your turn. Don't think that just because you beat Luo Jiu once, you have really reached the level of the main player of Chinese National Table Tennis Team. I'm not afraid to tell you, before I came to Sakura Country, I played against the main players of the national team and I really couldn't win a single game."

Lin Zijun's lips moved again, but still didn't speak.

He actually wanted to say that even if he couldn't beat him, it was still okay to win a round. After all, he even won a round at Kangaroo Country Open at Sun Tianlong.

But by the same token, saying this would make him look too arrogant, so he didn't speak.

Wang Chao continued, "So, no matter how you look at it, I have no reason to harm you. If it's for myself, I might as well save my strength to deal with Sun Tianlong and the others. If it's for Huaping, Lin Zijun, do you think you are worthy?"

Lin Zijun finally couldn't help it anymore and retorted, "But, when you were playing, you were obviously yelling at me all the time, trying to influence my mentality."

Wang Chao looked at him with an expression like he was looking at a fool. "Please, we are opponents on the field. Is there something wrong with my mentality if I mess with it? If I don't mess with your mentality, how can I win?"

Lin Zijun shook his head. "You can clearly see that I have collapsed, but you are still yelling at me. I think you want to completely destroy me."

Wang Chao "Haha" sneered, "Did you collapse? You collapsed, but you adjusted later and almost turned me over."

"That's different." Lin Zijun argued, "That's because I have strong adjustment ability, but it should be a surprise to you."

"It's a fucking accident!" Wang Chao said excitedly, "I already knew that your psychological quality was super strong, and I also knew that your talent was super high. Lin Zijun, from what I saw, I would not hesitate to overestimate you to the maximum extent., even if you seem to have completely collapsed, I am still deeply afraid that you will turn over. Unless I really win four games, I cannot relax at all and must implement the tactics to the end. As a result, do you regard my attention to you as my malice towards you?"

At this moment, Wang Chao blushed and his neck was thick, and the volume of his words was slightly louder, so many contestants in the cafeteria secretly gathered over and pricked up their ears.

Although they were deceived yesterday, they still wanted to know what the two little foxes were talking about.

Especially Wang Chao's appearance at this moment made them feel like the two teenagers were quarreling?

Since it is a quarrel, then what is said must be true, so it is even more important to listen carefully.

Lin Zijun is a little confused.

He actually felt that what Wang Chao said made sense.

Yes, no matter how the opponent plots against him on the field, it should be considered a reasonable use of tactics, right?

Although this tactic seems a bit dirty...

"Do you know how much pressure I put on to win against you?" Wang Chao became even more excited. "You saw it this morning. Obviously I didn't do anything wrong, but the whole audience was cheering for you. Even when I won the game and wanted to beg for a little applause from them, all they gave me were boos. Some people even threw mineral water bottles into the field, which almost hit me!"

Lin Zijun was even more confused, because Wang Chao looked really excited and his face was red.

He believes that Wang Chao is very thick-skinned, and it is difficult for thick-skinned people to blush, so this blush should really mean that Wang Chao's emotions are not fake.

Unless he is an actor.

Moreover, did anyone smash the mineral water bottle at that time?

Lin Zijun recalled carefully, and he really had no impression, but he remembered that this scene had happened in many football games he had watched, so he probably didn't notice it...

Wang Chao sighed, softened his tone, and lowered his head slightly, as if he was a little disappointed and sad. "I know, I can understand if you misunderstand. After all, I used to be very quiet when playing, and this is the only time I yelled... But to be honest, I am not used to it myself. I just played a similar game before. One of my teammates took off my pants in front of the audience and forced me to get excited. Later, I performed particularly well..."

Lin Zijun nodded slightly, indicating that he knew the game.

In fact, this game was the most important information for him to study Wang Chao's tactical play. He watched it no less than ten times and clearly saw the entire process of Wang Chao completing its super evolution.

"I also got inspiration from this game, and I realized that the emotional state is so important when playing. Plus you are the opponent I respect the most, so I decided that when I play with you, I must force myself to be excited."

Wang Chao sighed, "That's why I shouted from beginning to end, hoping to use this method to allow myself to perform exceptionally... Unfortunately, in the end, I still failed to perform exceptionally, so in the fifth game, when I found that shouting was useless, I calmed down."

If Qin Huachang were here, they would definitely slap their thighs and shout "Perfect".

Wang Chao's words not only explain what he did before, but also explain the reason why he fell silent in the fifth game. They are a typical nip in the bud.

Lin Zijun is a little uneasy.

His face became redder and he felt a little guilty.

Because he felt a little guilty and self-blame, he was thinking, did I really misunderstand him?

It seems that he is really aggrieved...

And in that game in the morning, all the fans were indeed cheering for Wang Chao. The pressure on him must be unimaginable.

I only remember that I was the victim. In fact, the blow he received was no lighter than mine...

It seems like... there is really no need for him to kill me.

Even if you want to abolish me, it should be something that the main players of Chinese table tennis like Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong should consider, right?

He also said that I was his most respected opponent...

But Zhuang Huishen sneered at this time and said, "Wang Chao, I heard that your teacher is Mr. He Jingping?"

Wang Chao nodded. "Yes."

"You chose the wrong teacher, do you know that?" Lao Zhuang mocked. "You should obviously choose Qin Huachang... Mr. He Jingping is pink when cut, and Qin Huachang is black from the inside to the outside. Just like you, he is full of lies, but none of them are true."

Just hearing him call He Jingping "sir" and Qin Huachang by his first name, you know that he must have been severely plotted by Qin Huachang back then.

Wang Chao showed an innocent expression again. "Senior, what you mean is..."

"Stop pretending." Zhuang Huishen glared at him fiercely. "Your bullshit can only be used to deceive fools. I don't believe a word of it from beginning to end!"

Lin Zijun's expression is a little subtle.

Why does Senior Zhuang like to fire map cannons so much?

In the morning, he said that I was a crooked melon and cracked jujube trained by coach Jiang Peirong.

Now he says that anyone who believes in Wang Chao is a fool.

However, I really do believe it.

Just then Zhuang Huishen looked over and said, "Xiao Lin, don't think too much, he lied to you."

Lin Zijun looked hesitant.

"You believe me, I won't get it wrong." Zhuang Huishen said earnestly, "The people in Huaping have bad hearts, and there are not many good people. Listen to me, don't treat them as friends, otherwise you will have to pay them if you are sold."

Lin Zijun was still hesitant and said, "But I think..."

"You think that's bullshit. You just need to be obedient. There are so many messy thoughts." Zhuang Huishen suddenly became irritated. "I was deceived just like you back then. It's exactly the same. It's just that the person who deceived me back then was. Wang Wendong, that was twenty years ago, and he happened to be eighteen years old. He lost to me in a game, so he came to me and said that he admired me very much and was very optimistic about me. He wanted to practice with me, and he wanted to be my lifelong opponent and friend, and he wanted to rule the table tennis world with me..."

Wang Chao and Lin Zijun pricked up their ears together, and the eavesdropping players outside also pricked up their ears.

"I was as stupid as you at that time. I believed whatever he said. I stupidly practiced with him without hiding anything. After practicing for half a month, he returned to the imperial capital with a slap on the butt. Since then, I have never defeated him once, because he has seen through me from the inside out."

After saying these words, Lao Zhuang was very depressed. This was a secret he had hidden in his heart for many years. Every time he thought about it, he felt aggrieved. He remembered that when he and Wang Wendong were training together in the second team of the Chinese Table Tennis Team, Wang Wendong was not his opponent. But later, their situations were completely different. Wang Wendong was Great Demon King and Grand Slam is beating the world and is famous, but he can only dominate the small fish pond of Bay Island. Although he has spent more than 20 years to win the reputation of an "evergreen tree in the table tennis world", he always thinks that Wang Wendong has already become famous and retired to enjoy his life, but he quarrels with Jiang Peirong in the media every day. He feels that he is really screwed up.

He had good intentions today and did not hesitate to blow up a scandal in order to convince Lin Zijun.

Lin Zijun indeed became suspicious again, tilting his head to look at Wang Chao.

"Senior is biased against Huaping, and I can't help it." Wang Chao sighed, "But I do come here with sincerity. I have serious business with Lin Zijun."

"Oh?" Zhuang Huishen showed a sarcastic smile, "What's the matter?"

Wang Chao calmed down and said seriously, "I would like to invite Lin Zijun to join us Black Spade Q Club."
