[Tennis] Mountains and Flowing Water

In late March, the post-match press conference of the World Professional Tennis Tour-Maerdi Masters.

The docile brown and black hair with soft ears is still a little damp, adding a dignified and elegant image to the smiling Xu You.His No.30 professional tennis season came to an end temporarily due to the end of the Masters.

And here again, it has become the object of questioning by countless reporters.

A female reporter in the third row took the lead to ask: "Xu, you were Gallo's consultant and mentor before. How do you feel about losing to Gallo in the final?"

Needle hidden in cotton.

"Actually, I was lucky to be able to guide Gallo. He was very focused today, he didn't make many mistakes, his forehand, first serve, running... were all outstanding. My performance was mediocre, and I tried my best."

After the end of the answer, a Mediterranean reporter at the front asked: "Xu, I can see that most of your games in this Masters are the first game in the morning or the night game. Have you asked the organizer for the schedule? Woolen cloth?"

Journalists are journalists.

Xu You shook his head lightly, showing no signs of getting angry at all: "I know, because the opponent... the playing time, the venue... you want to ask me if I have received preferential treatment. I have not made any demands on the competition team, nor have I heard My team 'worked' for me. Since I can participate, it means that I can still compete, and I can accept any arrangement from the competition."

"Do you have any plans for the rest of the time, Xu."

This is to ask when he will retire.

Xu You was silent for a few seconds, and did not respond with formal words: "If my ranking falls out of the top [-], I will consider retiring."

"Oh..." There were a few muffled sighs from the group of reporters, obviously no one thought that this "goal" could be easily achieved.

No one can tell whether this is good or not, including Xu You himself.

But he knew he might be reaching his limit.

Not a physical limit, but a mental one.

As a person who can cause a "tsunami" in the tennis world with a wave of his hand, everyone may think that he has gained both fame and fortune, earning a lot of money, and there is nothing to worry about.

But no one knew what he really expected.Just as he drew the limit of "falling out of the top [-] in the world", might it be interpreted as the pride of sitting on the altar?Or are you still unwilling to give up the "fat" in your circle?Or do you want to earn a few more pensions for yourself?

In fact, Xu You just wanted to raise a few talented young people to drive him away.He feels that his sad ending is the best ending, because it means that the future professional network will be injected with fresh and powerful blood, instead of letting him always be a "pillar" to attract many fans and viewers.

49. At this age, he no longer expects to have an opponent that he is thinking about...

The door opened slowly, and the well-known master returned to his small circle, which also allowed Yu Yu's emotions to settle down.

A science and technology park beside the Qinling Mountains in Chang'an, this is his "home".

A small circle, full of ghosts and talents, completely different from the atmosphere outside.

For those who play tennis, there is a basic question - why play tennis?

When Xu You was a child, he didn’t have a clear answer to this question, until he found out in cartoons that he would never be able to play tennis again if he was sick, and then half-pushed and half-assed to become the protagonist of a fan drama.

He really didn't want to recall those days.

"Seiichi Yukimura" went from getting sick in October when he was 13 to recovering in August when he was 14. He also really "got sick" and then "rehabilitated" from May to June when he was 14.

The most miserable and dark two months in his life once made him regret why he agreed to this tortured TV series.

Finally Xu You couldn't stand it anymore.He proposed to his senior as the screenwriter to change the script and change it to Yukimura Wankatsu.

"Tennis is who I am."

Victory means yes, failure means no.Those who wake him up should win, denying the so-called "realm" of happiness.

Why play tennis?

Because tennis is his world.

However, Xu You has not yet found the true meaning of the "world", and he may still be far away from the indescribable realm.

A person's pursuit is too tiring.

He has never met his fateful opponent...

Back to the room alone, rest, and daily training.Three days later, on the Qingming Festival, Xu You crossed over when he went to the mountain to visit the tomb, including his person and his bag.

……

It turns out that time travel also comes with rejuvenation?

After 3 minutes to sort out his situation, Xu You shrank and got ready to walk out of the seaside forest where the white mist gradually dissipated.

If he didn't want to be taken away by traffickers, Xu You felt that he should take refuge in the police station immediately.

In the afternoon when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the child is holding a tall tennis bag, wearing a very ill-fitting underwear, and walking on the street with cold wooden clogs.

This is a seaside urban area in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, on April 2009, 4.

So is it back to 9 years old?

The last ray of red light disappeared on the horizon, night fell, and the lights came on.The head of the inspection, Shenmu, went to patrol the outposts and saw a child in white curled up by the wall in front of the monitor, holding a tennis bag that was too high in his arms.

"Hey, isn't it cold?" Shenmu stretched out his fingers to hook the child's left arm, and opened the door to signal after drawing his attention, "Come in."

Having been a criminal for 12 years, it was the first time for Shenmu to experience picking up a child outside the sentry post. Was it lost?still......

"Do you have the contact information of your family members?" Seeing Xu You's confused face, Shenmu squatted down and looked at the clear eyes, and changed his words, "Kid, where are your parents? Do you know their phone numbers?"

"..." Xu You didn't touch the paper cup filled with boiling water, but hugged the tennis bag tightly, with his head down, unable to see his expression.

Shenmu dismissed the idea of ​​asking.Well, an eight or nine year old can't explain anything.

He said that the law and order in this jurisdiction is quite good. Could it be possible that some child got lost?

The child in front of him had slender bones, brown and black slightly curly long hair that covered his ears, and an immature face, but his delicate appearance, restraint and etiquette in his gestures all showed that he had been nurtured in a scholarly family.

Never seen it around here...

Shenmu touched the tip of his nose, squatted down again and looked at the boy at the same level: "You can stay with uncle for a few days, okay? Uncle will help you find mom and dad."

Xu You just nodded quietly.

[What a well-behaved child. ] This is the initial impression of Shenmu.
