Wang Chao The soul hidden in this body is actually a strange thing.
In his previous life, he was an old single man with a successful career.
So far in his life, he has been a single boy with a successful career.
He has been a man in two lives. Although he once had an ignorant love and secret love when he was young, in general, he has never chased a girl, never been in love, and has never really fallen in love with anyone.
He loves table tennis very purely, which is why he can reach such heights.
He would rather get ten more World Champions in the field he is good at, rather than face the three trials of his biological mother and stepfather at this moment.
So in a sense, urging marriage is the biggest crisis in the history of Wang Chao.
If I had to add an adjective in front of it, it would be "unjust and unreasonable pressure to get married."
Facing the eager and somewhat triumphant eyes of the two people in front of him, Wang Chao was helpless because he really didn't have a girlfriend.
Whether it was Liu Bei who took it upon himself to visit Wang Mei at his home during the Chinese New Year last year, or Tang Yuanyuan who played mixed doubles with him for more than half a year, the relationship with him was completely innocent.
But my mother didn't believe it.
He explained, but the explanation was not clear, because humans often have strong preconceptions, especially when elders face younger generations.
They always feel that you think you are keeping secrets, and they always feel that they can see through your details at a glance. After all, they have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, and have crossed more bridges than you have walked.
What's more, they are experienced emotionally, and you are just a young child. Can you compare those with experience and those without?
As for Wang Mei's only experience is that he was deceived by a gangster when he was a minor...
As for Wang Zhongzhu's only experience is that he was an honest man who once took over the offer and was abandoned by the woman again after taking over the offer...
They all chose to ignore it!
So the battle begins.
Round one.
Mom: "I won't talk about the girl last year. After all, I only met her once."
Wang Chao: "There's nothing to say. Liu Bei is a high school study committee member. In the first semester of college, she still has some friendships with high school classmates. She doesn't live far away, so she stopped by to see what happened. I asked her. She has not only been to my home, but also to other classmates' homes. That's called a courtesy visit."
My mother sneered, showing her insightful eyes. "Haha."
As we all know, the word "haha" has extremely rich meanings, and at this time it probably means "you make it up, you continue to make it up".
Wang Chao was completely defeated in the first round.
Round two.
Mom: "This little girl this year is really good. She's a little short, but she's solid and good-looking. And you're tall. Putting it all together, the child's height won't be a problem in the future."
Wang Chao: "Are you thinking too much? Why do you even consider the height of your child? Apart from being a mixed doubles partner, Tang Yuanyuan and I have no other relationship..."
Mom sneered again, with the same insightful eyes. "Haha."
Wang Zhongzhu interjected from the side and spoke with great emphasis, "Wang Chao, logically speaking, I shouldn't talk too much, but after all, I have watched you grow up. Your mother is afraid that she can't speak to you, so she asked me to help you, so I will say... we men People, once you become famous and have money, it is easy to be carefree, but you should not be carefree. Tang Yuanyuan is such a good girl. Your mother and I like her very much, and we can see your relationship. If you insist on not admitting it, you must be in two different situations, right?"
Mom: "Son, your Uncle Zhuzi is right. You see that now you have Grand Slam and an iron rice bowl. It's time to think about your personal marriage. Listen to Mom's advice and don't worry about it. Man, although you have to put your career first, you have to start a family before your career. A virtuous daughter-in-law can make you worry less in your life. Mom is someone who has been here before. You are right to listen to me."
Wang Zhongzhu: "Yes, yes, you are young, so it is normal for you to easily get lost in these things. In fact, the water here is very deep and you cannot grasp it. It would be better to get married early, have children, and focus on your career. Your mother and I will help you take care of the children, and I promise not to let you worry about it in the slightest."
In the second round, Wang Chao was defeated again.
So enters the third round.
Wang Chao: "Mom, you are only in your thirties, why don't you two have one?"
Wang Mei didn't say anything, but Wang Zhongzhu expressed his opinion first. "Wang Chao, we have already discussed it, not to have children, so as not to affect you."
Wang Chao: "You really can't influence me, so just have one."
Wang Mei, Wang Zhongzhu: "No, we don't want it, we understand you."
Wang Chao smiled bitterly, "You really can't influence me. Just have one. I beg you, you two can have one by yourself if you want to raise a child."
Wang Mei shook his head. "How can I understand my own son? Don't insist on it. We don't want it even if we say we don't want it."
Wang Chao: "Then I swear?"
Wang Mei: "Come on, you were naughty and mischievous when you were a child, and you didn't swear many oaths? Are you afraid of God?"
In the third round, Wang Chao lost again.
Entering the fourth round.
Wang Chao: "I'm only 19 years old, far from the legal age for marriage."
"It doesn't matter, let's get engaged first." Wang Mei said, "First, we can rest assured if we confirm the relationship first."
Wang Chao: "Tang Yuanyuan's family is from a wealthy family in Shandong Province, and etiquette is very strict there. This kind of thing is troublesome..."
Wang Mei, Wang Zhongzhu: "Don't worry, we are not afraid of trouble no matter what. Are you going to Shandong Province to propose marriage? Let's go! Do you need three letters and six appointments? We will give it! Do you need to be well-matched? In the past, we were definitely not worthy of her, but now, my son, you are World Champion."
Wang Chao: "No... why did I tell you about the engagement? This is in the wrong order. I really have nothing to do with her. You have led me astray."
Wang Mei showed his insightful eyes. "Look, the secret has been exposed, right? You brat, you still have that in mind, right? Even Coach Qin, who hosted the live broadcast, publicly said that you are treacherous and ghost-like. If you don't have a ghost in your heart, can a treacherous and ghost-like guy like you be led astray by me?"
Wang Chao: "Can I say that I am undefended in front of you? Also, I am just cunning in table tennis. Isn't it normal for me to be led astray in life?"
Wang Mei: "You make it up, you keep making it up."
The fourth round ended here. Wang Chao abandoned his armor and came to the final round.
Wang Chao: "Whoever makes the suggestion must provide evidence. If you insist on saying that I have something to do with her, then you should provide evidence."
Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu both sneered this time.
"Do you think we have no evidence? Then we will convince you."
The two of them directly produced "evidence".
These are a large number of screenshots from the Internet and photos taken at the Mexico Olympics site. I am afraid there are more than a hundred of them, and each of them is in the same frame as Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan.
Sometimes they gather together and talk in a low voice with a smile.
Sometimes they make eye contact and encourage each other on the field.
Sometimes they hold hands on stage to receive awards.
Sometimes Tang Yuanyuan is handing water and towels to Wang Chao.
Sometimes Wang Chao is caressing Tang Yuanyuan's head affectionately.
Sometimes the two of them did nothing and just stayed quietly.
These are many moments, and the background is mostly at the game scene. This is normal, because Wang Chao is an extremely self-disciplined sports star. Most of the time he is in the news because he wins games, not because of any gossip in life.
At this moment Wang Chao was in a daze.
Because he himself didn't remember so many little moves between him and Tang Yuanyuan.
I even hugged her after the game?
Oh, I seem to have some impression. It was the first time the Ichikawa Mima combination won against Sakura Country. At that time, Tang Yuanyuan was not that confident. After winning, he was very excited and took the initiative to open his hands to Wang Chao. Wang Chao also cooperated.
We held hands when we were on the podium?
Oh, I seem to have some impressions. That time, I was so absorbed in chatting with my teacher He Jingping that I didn't hear the host's prompt, so Tang Yuanyuan ran over and pulled me away, forgetting to let go along the way.
And this one... wiping Tang Yuanyuan's mouth on the street? Is this also a picture that my mother can capture?
Who in the hell is betraying me?
Wang Chao remembered it for the first time. It was one night in the imperial capital when the base was on holiday. Luo Jiu called him out for a late-night snack and offered to call Tang Yuanyuan. Then Tang Yuanyuan ate barbecue and his mouth was full of oil. His hands were also full of oil. He couldn't see clearly, so he took out a paper towel to wipe her.
So, the case is solved!
Wang Chao covered his heart.
Senior brother, you sneaked up and stabbed me in the back!
Is it because you are engaged that you wish I could be like you?
But you are a 28-year-old man, but I am not even of legal age for marriage.
And this picture... My senior brother and I are sitting side by side on the floor to rest, and Tang Yuanyuan is massaging my shoulders to relax my muscles from behind?
This is wrong...
Senior brother and I are in the same frame. Who took this photo?
Wang Chao observed carefully and found a poster on the wall on the side of the table. It was a promotional copy about Olympic Games, using the slang Spain.
Oh, another case solved.
It was the eve of Olympic Games's semi-finals. Luo Jiu asked him to be a sparring partner to help him deal with Sun Tianlong. However, the follower Tang Yuanyuan heard the news and insisted on following him, so he and When Luo Jiu was practicing, Tang Yuanyuan watched the whole process, served tea and water, and acted as his little assistant. When he and Luo Jiu were tired and taking a break, they said that their shoulders were a little sore, and Tang Yuanyuan took the initiative to come over and give him a massage.
So... the only person who could have taken this photo was Fan Xiaoxian, the assistant and fiancée of senior brother Luo Jiu at the time...
Wang Chao covered his heart again.
Sister Xian, you secretly stabbed me behind my back too!
You little couple really don't deserve to be children.
Wang Chao felt the malice of the whole world and continued reading.
He saw a lot of photos of Tang Yuanyuan handing him towels, twisting water bottle caps, and peeling bananas.
As partners who train together every day, this kind of thing is quite common.
As for him touching her head, or her twisting his arm, or the occasional small physical intimacy... To be honest, Wang Chao really didn't feel it before, because everything was so natural. He regarded Tang Yuanyuan as a brother, so of course he didn't avoid it so much.
But when my mother photographed it, and when I saw it again, I really thought, is there something wrong with this sense of proportion?
Xiao Fei and Liu Wen's Scarlet Gossip Combination have been working together longer than Tang Dynasty Combination, up to four years, but Wang Chao recalls at this time In the scenes of Scarlet Gossip Combination practicing with him, it seems that Xiao Fei and Liu Wen have always kept a good distance. They have never had such unscrupulous contact with Tang Yuanyuan.
It's no wonder that Xiao Fei and Liu Wen have always been recognized as good friends, but there have never been any rumors.
While I have always felt that my relationship with Tang Yuanyuan is innocent, there are always people inside Huaping making jokes about me and Tang Yuanyuan, especially the female table tennis team. The talk among the little girls who turn off the lights and lie in bed at night is said to be very crazy. They often make Tang Yuanyuan very angry and rush to complain to Wang Chao the next day.
"I always thought it was because of my young age that people were more willing to make jokes about us, but now it seems that the contact between us is probably too much, right?" Wang Chao had a vague realization.
Then he saw a photo that was enough to make him die in front of his mother.
It was on the mountain peak in the early morning. He and Tang Yuanyuan were lying on the ground in strange postures, actually wrestling with each other.
Wang Chao knew in his heart that he was learning "family kung fu" from Tang Yuanyuan on the mountain behind Chinese Table Tennis base, and they were fighting together just for wrestling.
But in the eyes of outsiders, cuddling and cuddling is really outrageous.
The weather was not cold at that time, so I took off my coat when I warmed up after exercising in the morning, so my clothes looked thin and wrinkled from the struggle with each other. At first glance, it really made people think.
"If I said I was just exercising, would you believe it?" Wang Chao asked Wang Mei with the last hope.
Wang Mei sneered, "What do you think?"
Perhaps because he felt that this sentence was not strong enough, Wang Mei directly betrayed the person who took this photo. "If you didn't want to hint me something, do you think such a stable person like Coach He would suddenly send me this photo?"
She squinted at Wang Chao and hummed. "Son, stop pretending, you have been exposed a long time ago!"
At this moment Wang Chao was a little desperate.
Old He ah Old He, I didn't expect that you, who looks so thick-browed and big-eyed, would stab me in the back!
Wang Chao is a naturally rational person. In his extreme grief and anger, he actually remembered a small incident that happened in the past.
At that time, Qin Huachang rushed all the way to Liancheng City to see Sister Fan, wanting to tell her that he was Fan Xiaodong's teacher.
But Sister Fan knew it a long time ago, because He Jingping, Fan Xiaodong's nominal teacher at the time, had already told Sister Fan the truth over the phone and took a lot of photos of Fan Xiaodong's daily life and training for Sister Fan, which gave Sister Fan, a mother, peace of mind a year in advance.
All I can say is that Old He is indeed a good person, considerate, not greedy for merit, not picking peaches, warm-hearted and willing to help others.
But it must be admitted that Old He does have the characteristics of some old-school people. When it comes to managing younger generations, he is used to secretly communicating with parents.
He has a criminal record. Why didn't I guard against him?
At this point, Wang Chao suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
He was numb and fell into silence.
Tired, destroy it.
In the fifth round, Wang Chao was completely KO'd.
But it's not over yet.
Wang Zhongzhu coughed, which was a small opening, and then said, "Wang Chao, you are young and have never been in love, so there are some things that I, as an experienced person, have to teach you."
He said, "Women are creatures like this. Whether they are girls of seventeen or eighteen years old or mature women in their thirties, they cannot resist romance. And where does romance come from? It is hidden in many details. Coach Qin said that you are the most meticulous player in the world, so you should learn to be a little careful occasionally in your life."
"Look, in so many photos, we can see that the little girl is nice to you. She rubs your back and shoulders, brings you tea and water, and even walks in front of you while holding hands. It's obvious that she takes the initiative... Wang Chao Ah, this is not okay. Boys must learn to do this in love. Take the initiative, understand? You should prepare more surprises for her, pay attention to her birthday, buy her gifts, pay attention to what she likes to eat, and go out and buy them for her. Also, girls like flowers, not necessarily roses. As long as they are flowers, they will be very happy as long as they are given by the boy they like."
"Of course, you still have to observe a little bit. Some little girls like flashy romance. The more flashy it is, the more romantic they feel. But mature women like your mother are more pragmatic. Instead of giving her a bouquet of roses, it is better to give her a bouquet of cauliflower. Not only can she see it, but she can also eat it, right?"
Wang Zhongzhu stopped here and asked, "Do you understand?"
Wang Chao's expression was very strange, because Wang Zhongzhu's guidance awakened some vague memories hidden in his body about before he turned 18.
So he asked, "I remember that in the past two years, my mother bought cauliflower to eat every day. I almost vomited when I ate it. I asked her not to buy it, but she refused to agree... Could it be that those cauliflowers were given by you?"
At this moment, Lao Wang next door looked a little embarrassed. As a Jiangcheng woman, Wang Mei was quite aggressive. He punched Wang Chao directly on the arm and cursed, "It's all in the past. What else is there to mention? Your Uncle Zhuzhu is imparting his experience to you, and all you hear is cauliflower."
Wang Chao couldn't help but laugh, feeling that he had finally regained a small advantage, because he could clearly see that his mother's face was slightly red.
This conversation about love and marriage that took place in the suburbs of Jiangcheng City actually lasted a long time. At first, Wang Chao was very resistant to this topic because he really felt that his mother was making things up out of thin air, but after seeing all the photos, he felt much calmer.
Because he realized that maybe he was not completely wronged, maybe there was something that really crossed the line between him and Tang Yuanyuan?
So why is this?
Wang Chao is very smart and rational. He is very good at analyzing his own heart. When it comes to table tennis, he can almost figure out the most subtle things in people's hearts. This is why he will never be deceived by his opponents in the game.
But he wanted to analyze his own feelings, but he couldn't figure it out, because he had never understood one thing in his whole life: feelings themselves cannot be digitized, and there have never been clear rules that can be quoted.
"Son, tell me the truth, what do you think?" Wang Mei finally asked Wang Chao such a question.
Wang Chao thought about it for a long time, but finally did not give Wang Mei a definite answer.
He actually promised Wang Mei that he could invite Tang Yuanyuan to his home if he had the chance.
He used to be very shy, but now he is not shy anymore.
Because he figured something out.
That is what your love should be like.
The answer is two words.
One is simple.
One is to let nature take its course.
He doesn't expect any grand or extremely romantic love.
Because as early as the beginning of his time travel, when he was still in Jiangcheng City Team, he had already had a very clear self-reflection, and then made a clear plan for his life.
He traveled here to play ball.
All his thoughts were on this matter.
In order to reach the top of Ping Pong World and see the most beautiful scenery, he must be focused and sincere enough. He is like a monkey wearing a golden hoop, having already forgotten all the love in the world from the very beginning.
Why?
Because women only affect the speed of my batting.
But he also understands that people are social animals, and living is not just to achieve your own goals. You have enjoyed the hardships and shelter from wind and rain of many people during your growth, and you have to repay it.
As a child, you have to repay your mother.
As a citizen, you have to give back to society.
As an athlete, you have to give back to the country.
As a male creature, you are also responsible for the reproduction of the population.
So I will still get married and have children. Only in this way can I have a complete life.
Then the conditions for finding a wife are very clear.
What he needs is a girl who can be by his side quietly and calmly, who won't cause trouble, won't act like a monster, won't affect his game, and won't require him to rack his brains and brains to chase after her.
At the same time, you must not hate yourself.
It's best if your parents are satisfied.
Of course, it would be best if you can get along very comfortably and harmoniously with them.
In the end, it would be better if the other party also has the same pursuit as you, instead of forcibly restraining yourself from disturbing you.
After all, even if you have lofty goals, you are not qualified to ask others to sacrifice for you.
Therefore, "let nature take its course" is even more important than "simple".
Thinking about it this way, Wang Chao couldn't help but feel a little funny. He found that Tang Yuanyuan was really suitable.
So he called Tang Yuanyuan directly late at night on the New Year's Day.
Tang Yuanyuan's place was very noisy. Obviously, as she said before, there was a very big family there. I don't know how many people were together on New Year's Eve.
As the call was connected, the laughter of various young girls came from behind Tang Yuanyuan. This was Tang Yuanyuan's sisters who saw the caller ID on the phone and were teasing and teasing Tang Yuanyuan. Wang Chao could hear someone vaguely mentioning his name through the phone.
Maybe it was because the New Year atmosphere was too hot, or maybe the sisters were teasing too much. At this moment, even the big-hearted and cheeky Tang Yuanyuan sounded a little more awkward, and shouted loudly, "Hello?"
Wang Chao heard the loud sound of firecrackers, so he had to shout into his mobile phone in a loud voice, "Are you interested in coming to my house to play after the new year?"
Tang Yuanyuan was quiet for a moment, only the crackling of firecrackers could be heard, followed by the roar of laughter from the group of sisters. Then Tang Yuanyuan's tone became cheerful and he shouted with a louder voice, "Okay, I will come in two days. You wait for me at home. I want to eat hot dry noodles and three fresh tofu skins."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Chao walked out and saw that Jiangcheng after twelve o'clock had turned into a sea of joy. Countless colorful fireworks were shining one after another in the sky, turning the entire dark sky into red. From higher places, there were fine snowflakes falling one after another.
Perhaps it was because he had just come out of the warm room. Wang Chao did not feel cold, but felt a bit cool and comfortable. He closed his eyes, raised his head, and took a deep breath. Although his nose was filled with the faint smell of gunpowder smoke after setting off fireworks, he felt some ultimate tranquility and beauty.
Then a snowball hit him in the face, it was bitingly cold. The ice slag melted into water on his neck and slid down his neck, abruptly waking him up from his peaceful atmosphere.
He turned around and saw his 36-year-old mother smiling provocatively at him like a child. Next to her was Wang Zhongzhu, who looked helpless and eager to try. She seemed to want to take action, but she didn't dare.
Wang Chao laughed, he picked up a ball of snow from the ground, rolled it up casually, hit Wang Zhongzhu on the head accurately, and shouted loudly, "Come on!"
(I really don't know how to write emotional dramas, but the protagonist's view of love is relatively clear. I have expressed similar views before this book was put on the shelves, so I still stumbled to write this chapter, because the so-called "Ping-Pong Life", if there is no love It's incomplete, but everyone's love is different for everyone, and not everyone has to pursue romance and excitement. I think Wang Chao's idea is a common idea among many athletes who have reached the top in the field of competitive sports. What do you think?)
(In addition, today is the first update. It contains more than 6k words and took five hours to write. I really cried to death and will never write about emotions again.)
