Wang Chao I have no choice but to give in half-heartedly.

Liu Bei didn't lie, because it was a coincidence. The Jiangcheng University table tennis club was recruiting new members in the past two days, and at the same time it planned to hold a qualifying competition within the team. When Wang Chao and Liu Bei followed Liu Bei into the venue, what they saw was a youthful, shouting, and enthusiastic look. It was a lively scene, with many tables being played. Old people from some clubs were meticulously recording the scores of both sides. Some losers were sighing in frustration, and some winners were shouting excitedly. Once a beautiful ball was hit, there would be a burst of cheers. When encountering lucky balls such as rimming or netting, a bunch of people would exclaim in unison.

Occasionally, a girl would take the initiative to hand over mineral water to the sweaty contestants, which would trigger a burst of envious hooting, mixed with the girls' clear and mild anger, creating an even more moving scene.

Perhaps because Jiangcheng University has a named Table Tennis Super League team, the table tennis atmosphere here is stronger than Wang Chao imagined.

This is a fiery campus life that Wang Chao has never experienced before or in this life.

He and Wang Bo followed Liu Bei and walked slowly to watch. It was obvious that these games were full of flaws, but the atmosphere here made Wang Chao very comfortable.

Because the venue was very noisy, Liu Bei had to stick to Wang Chao's ear to hear her. She asked loudly, "Do you want to play two games?"

Wang Chao shook his head.

He is really not interested in dramas like the return of the king or the appearance of a saint in front of others, but he can understand Liu Bei's thoughts. A beautiful and lively girl like Liu Bei has grown up in everyone's attention since she was a child. She naturally likes to show off and live in the spotlight, so she also hopes that the friends she brings can steal the show and help her gain face.

This is understandable, it is just the inherent vanity of girls, and after Wang Chao refused, Liu Bei did not continue to insist.

After a while, she asked again, "Do you have a girlfriend now?"

Wang Chao was stunned. "Why do you ask that?"

"Because I heard that your Chinese National Table Tennis Team package allocates girlfriends. They are all girls from National Gymnastics Team and National Figure Skating Team. They line up to choose one by one, just like an emperor choosing his concubine."

Liu Bei couldn't help but giggle as he said this, "Han Feng They boasted about it for you in the group, and they swore that you personally admitted it... You should tell me, is it true?"

Wang Chao is a little ashamed.

Yes, he did say this himself, but it was during the Chinese New Year when he accompanied his mother to take care of the store. In order to help his mother feel proud, he acted as "someone else's child". In order to fend off the neighborhood aunts and uncles who came with jealousy and suspicion, he bragged shamelessly.

As a result, it was actually spread to the class group by Han Feng...

At this moment, Wang Chao's face felt a little hot, and he could only explain with a slight embarrassment, "Well... according to the system, our young players are not allowed to fall in love during the period when their performance is rising."

"Oh, that's it." Liu Bei didn't take it to heart. She just said what came to her mind, "Isn't that a pity? If we don't fall in love at our age, our lives will be wasted."

Wang Chao smile.

It may be a pity in the eyes of others, but this is his own choice.

At this time, there was a loud whistle from the front, which silenced the noise in the whole place.

The one who blew the whistle should be the coach. He was wearing a professional jersey and sneakers, holding a folder in his hand. While reading, he said casually, "Let me talk about today's game results first... Well, the students who will be selected for the main team later don't leave. We will look for problems one by one. Other students can stay and listen if they want."

Having said this, he raised his head and saw Wang Bo at a glance.

His name is Zhao Ge, and he is very familiar with Wang Bo, because as the sports coach of Jiangcheng University, he has taken the initiative to go to the team many times to learn from the team. He was a physical education teacher in school and a coach of the table tennis club, but in the professional Table Tennis Super League team, he was polite to every professional player he met.

It's really not polite, because no matter whether it's actual combat, vision or theory, I can't compare with others. The gap between amateur and professional is so big.

Zhao Ge's attitude suddenly changed from casual to serious, and he greeted us with a smile, "Wang Bo, you rare visitor, why are you here?"

His attitude naturally caught the eyes of the students, causing all eyes to focus here.

Zhao Ge said as he walked, "Just in time, since you are here, show your skills and help guide the children."

Wang Bo didn't speak, he just smiled and motioned Zhao Ge to look next to him.

Zhao Ge saw Wang Chao at first glance, but didn't recognize it. He just felt a little familiar. After all, there are some differences between reality and live broadcast. But when he looked at it again and thought of the game he just played this morning, he immediately After reacting, the smile on his face suddenly became several times brighter. He hurriedly walked up a few steps, took the initiative to grab Wang Chao's hand and shook it. "Oh, World Champion, this is World Champion coming!"

The words "World Champion" were spoken very strongly, and it was clear that he wanted to cheer up and make Wang Chao shine.

The person carrying the sedan chair, Wang Chao, although there was no need to show off, could not refuse the other party's kindness. He could only smile and say, "Hello, we are just here to watch the excitement."

"That won't happen! That will never happen!" Zhao Ge is a wonderful man. He grabbed Wang Chao's hand and refused to let go. "I tell you, even if coach Xiao Guohua comes, I can let him go, but if you Wang Chao comes, I will never let you go if you don't leave something behind."

The words are very domineering, but the core essence is not coercion. They are still using the name of Jiangcheng University Team's head coach Xiao Guohua to forcefully help Wang Chao raise his worth.

He even cueed Liu Bei who was right next to Wang Chao: "Oh, is this classmate Liu Bei from the student union? Don't tell me that you and World Champion are good friends."

Liu Bei was indeed very helpful. He smiled brightly and said, "We are classmates in high school."

Zhao Ge nodded repeatedly, with a playful expression on his face, and said, "No wonder, no wonder."

As for why, he refused to say clearly.

Wang Chao had no choice but to say, "Okay, what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Ge pulled Wang Chao in front of the students, introduced them one by one, and asked the players to demonstrate their skills one by one, asking Wang Chao to give guidance in person.

It's just flattery, but he is still a good coach, and he is serious about taking the opportunity to help his students improve their skills.

So Wang Chao also calmed down, looked over one by one, and commented one by one.

He is actually the same age as the students, and technically he is younger than the upperclassmen. However, perhaps it is because his grades have been too good in the past six months, or perhaps because his speech and behavior are too calm, so when he pointed them out one by one, no one felt that there was any violation. On the contrary, he felt that he was facing the pressure of a national coach.

At this time, Wang Chao can no longer hide the strength of the top coach in his previous life.

He just gave random instructions, but he basically got to the point. After just a little try, the students felt that their playing was indeed quite different from before, and they immediately thanked him one after another.

Liu Bei stood behind, watching all this with a smile, and felt proud, his pretty face glowing faintly.

In fact, at the Spring Festival party, she felt that Wang Chao's life was a bit boring, but when Wang Chao entered his professional field, she suddenly felt that this old classmate seemed to have an indescribable charm. This was a comprehensive temperament formed by successfully mixing enough self-confidence, and it was the kind of temperament that easily made girls admire and admire him.

Seeing how Wang Chao spoke calmly and how Wang Chao personally demonstrated her movements, she felt a little moved without realizing it.

She doesn't understand table tennis, and she didn't know what Wang Chao's achievements meant before. Although she knew it was not easy, she didn't have a concrete idea. But when she saw Zhao Ge's actions today, she realized that Wang Chao had reached such a height.

So when the three of them came out of the gym, she became much quieter. After walking for a while, she said, "Wang Chao, do you know that you have changed so much, it's like you are a different person."

Wang Chao's heart skipped a beat, almost thinking that his identity as a time traveler had been exposed.

But looking at Liu Bei's expression, it's just a reflection.

She said, "If you were like this in high school..."

Wang Chao looked at her and waited quietly for her to finish speaking.

But she stopped talking and suddenly said, "Why don't we exchange phone numbers?"

Wang Chao is a bit strange, because in this era, everyone is communicating online, and the phone number is not that important, but Liu Bei actually has his own little penguin number.

But he still nodded and exchanged numbers with Liu Bei.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the door of Jiangcheng University. Wang Chao said goodbye to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei said again, "Wang Chao."

Wang Chao was startled, and only then did he feel something was strange. It seemed that Liu Bei had become a little different after coming out of the gym.

The girl in front of her has a pretty face that is slightly red, as pink as a cherry blossom. Her teeth are biting her thin and tender lips, with a hint of inquiry. "Um... can I call you and chat with you in the future?"

Wang Bo realized it immediately, and worked hard behind Wang Chao's back, poking his lower back to signal him to agree quickly.

Wang Chao took more than two seconds to finally understand what happened.

His mood was a little subtle. He couldn't say he was happy or conflicted. He just felt it was a bit difficult. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Maybe... it's not very convenient..."

The light in Liu Bei's eyes dimmed slightly and he said, "Oh."

Wang Chao waved to her. "Goodbye then?"

Liu Bei still said, "Oh."

Wang Bo's fingers almost pierced Wang Chao's waist. He is such an old man, he can't see what's going on. The girl opposite is beautiful and has a good personality, and she is proactive, but what on earth is this straight man Wang Chao doing?

Now when people say "oh" twice in a row, it means they have a little emotion in their hearts and are waiting for someone to coax them. You should just go and go and go and go!

But Wang Chao simply stretched out a hand behind his back, grabbed Wang Bo's finger to prevent him from poking it again, and then pulled Wang Bo away as if nothing had happened.

After walking far away, Wang Bo couldn't help but look back. The girl was still standing at the school gate. She was slender and had her head bowed slightly, so her long, straight black hair hung down from both sides, showing a bit of unspeakable fragility and loneliness.

"Wang Chao, are you a pig?" Wang Bo finally couldn't help but burst out. "You will be alone for the rest of your life if you do this!"

Wang Chao smiled and had no explanation.

How could he explain it?

He has a mature wisdom far beyond this body and can fully understand the state of Liu Bei at this time.

In fact, this is not the love that Wang Bo imagined, but a certain admiration emotion that girls naturally generate after seeing the shining points of the opposite sex.

He and Liu Bei really didn't have any intersection when they were in high school, and they had no intersection after graduation, and they never said a word in the little penguin group.

But he has changed a lot in the past six months.

Back then, he was malnourished, disheveled, withdrawn, and had poor grades. He occasionally skipped classes and got into fights. He was the kind of problem student who was willing to degenerate.

But within just six months, he first miraculously entered the professional table tennis world, and then quickly became popular, winning two World Champions in one go, and was described as an unprecedented super genius by people in the industry.

Because his nutrition kept up, he began to become healthy, his figure became taller, his skin became rosy, his confidence came out, his eyes became brighter, his temperament came out, his conversation became more comfortable, and his behavior became mature. He seemed to be a different person, so excellent that his whole body shone.

Because he has indeed changed into a different person.

All this has a huge cognitive impact on Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei hadn't met him today, nothing would have happened. In Liu Bei's mind, he was just an old classmate who had risen miraculously.

But we met, and we had a lot of fun chatting all the way. In the end, Zhao Ge forcibly cheered me up in the gym, and gave Jiang Shan pointers in front of the students. Men are always the most handsome when they do things seriously.

At that moment a halo appeared behind him.

Eighteen-year-old Huaichun girls always open their hearts quietly like this. They are inexperienced and inexperienced, and they don't even know whether this kind of heartbeat is love. They just heard from senior senior sisters that life without falling in love in college is not perfect.

So she tried to capture this heartbeat.

Wang Bo is an lsp, so naturally he accepts all comers.

But Wang Chao knew that this was definitely not what he wanted.

And what Liu Bei wants, he can never give it to him.

He is still the monkey wearing the golden hoop, and cannot be distracted by anything other than table tennis.

Then, we can only quickly extinguish the budding flame of error.

It's natural to be a little regretful, after all, he is also a normal man.

But that's about it.

As for Liu Bei, who has been standing at the school gate and refused to go in, of course she did not really lose her love. She was just rejected after she plucked up the courage for the first time, so she may have some feelings of self-pity.

Life is long, and Wang Chao will meet many, many girls in the future. Maybe they are really the National Gymnastics Team he brags about or the girls from the national figure skating team. They have better figures, are more beautiful, and may be more proactive than Liu Bei, but so what?

Wang Chao can't think of many rhetorical words to express his will, so why not just use that meme that has long been used on the Internet to summarize.

Women will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword.

(To be honest, I wrote these two chapters today with a bit of trepidation. I have expressed my opinion about professional players resisting temptation before, but I really want to express it seriously and positively again, because it is really not easy for them.)

I announce that when you read this paragraph, I have successfully obtained perfect attendance this month. In 31 days this month, a total of 294,000 words have been updated. I am so strong!
