[Tennis] Mountains and Flowing Water

The eight-day school trip to France in October, Xu You and Shenmu went to the amusement park for a day before departure.He is now 1 meters tall, and he no longer needs to hold Shenmu's hand. Shenmu is also aware of this, and only pulls his forearm when there are many people, and then turns back more frequently.

Only three years later, Shenmu gave birth to a sense of vicissitudes as a child growing up.Well, his son has always been so educated.

Adjective, right?It seems a little strange.

In the past few months, the law and order in Kanagawa has been so good that Shenmu has been idle in the police headquarters, and there is something wrong with him.He heard that there were a lot of homicides in Tokyo, and the Metropolitan Police Department's first search section was busy.

[Don't transfer me to Tokyo again. ] The house he bought after years of hard work is in Kanagawa, and his son will definitely not agree to transfer to Tokyo.

Shenmu clattered through the communication and information books in his hands, pretending to be busy, but actually thinking about his own son thousands of miles away.

[Is Xiaoyou used to staying in Paris?It seems that the law and order there is not as good as Kanagawa. ]

[Speaking of which, Xiaoyou is with Yukimura again...]

The dormitory arranged by Xu You and Yukimura at the joint school in Lihai, Paris, is a four-person room, and the other two are students of Class F and Class D.A few days ago, it was a social activity with a friend school, a visit to the art gallery in the city center, and so on.In the afternoon of the fifth day, it was time for students to move freely. Because of safety issues, the team leader teacher specially instructed considerable precautions, such as: don’t bring too much cash when you go out, don’t bring valuables, dress low-key, and carry a copy of your passport with you And the communication equipment, don't go too far, try not to go to the east...

"It's finally over." Yukimura muttered in a low voice, and the two went back to the room to sort things out.

"How much do you bring?"

"A few notes and a few coins will suffice."

"Are the tickets expensive? There seems to be a museum?"

"It's enough to visit the main and auxiliary venues for a while. There are open-air courts for rent nearby."

The two carried tennis bags from the subway directly to the gate of the court. In winter, the tennis court in the western suburbs of Paris was a bit deserted, and the cold wind made the chestnut trees beside the road rustle.

The two stood on a high place overlooking the red land, and the high afternoon sun dazzled the stadium.

"It's pretty, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Yukimura sighed, "The blood is boiling."

"Maybe the two of us will stand below and compete." Xu You pointed to the far field, "I'm over there, and then," pointed to the near field, "you are here."

Yukimura looked at Xu You's face in silence, followed his fingers to look at the court, and moved his left hand on the shoulder strap: "..."

"Clay clay is a soft court, with high elasticity and slow rhythm. For us, it is a weapon against hard hitters." Xu You looked up at the sky from the court, then turned around and said, "Let's try to set up a court. "

"it is good."

The clay court is actually a representative of the sand court. When the tennis ball hits the ground, there is a lot of friction and the speed of the ball slows down. The elasticity of the ground allows the tennis ball to bounce back to the shoulder or above. The sand on the ground also allows the player to have a greater Sliding room, generally speaking, the player's defensive range becomes larger, the spin ball is more threatening, and the rebound angle makes the player more inclined to catch the ball in the backcourt.

At the same time, the white line and the surrounding sand are less covered, so if the tennis ball lands here, the speed and rotation changes are different from the general situation. In addition, the soil formed by the players running is thick and uneven, so they need faster temporary prediction and response ability.

Yukimura didn't quite get used to it at first, but later he became more and more intoxicated with the contest of baseline ball control, observation of speed, rotation, and change of rhythm, all of which made him feel very comfortable.

"It's very comfortable to play on this court." Yukimura's balance is very good, which is attributed to the perfect requirements for movements at ordinary times. The clay makes his body stretch more completely, and then he hits the ball, "What do you think?"

"I feel the same." The tennis ball bounced to the waist, Xu You touched the ground with his right foot, and swung the racket with one hand. Yu backhand zone: "Huh—it's been 25 rounds."

"It's probably only enough to play one set today." Xu You held his breath and cut down with his backhand. The ball was a little shallow, and Yukimura had a chance to attack in the midfield. [Too bad! ]

Yukimura scores with a sideline throw: "27, deuce."

"Huh—" Xu You walked around the backcourt with his legs, stroking the frame with his left hand, "Xingmura-kun is very adaptable."

"I think Yukun is more familiar with this place." Yukimura's first serve to the T point failed to enter the prescribed area and made a mistake. The second serve to the front boundary was received by Xu You in anticipation: "It just hit the line, 'dangerous' ——" Yukimura's second fastball made him almost unresponsive.

"Your return is also very 'dangerous'." Yukimura turned around quickly, and made a sliding step to save the ball before the tennis ball passed him.Xu You predicted the landing point, pointed at the flying tennis ball, and pulled the racket high near the middle of the baseline.

[Advantage Kamiki]

Yukimura, who was adapting to the clay court for the first time, lay down on the ground to catch his breath after the end of the set. He won and came back against the wind.

"It's amazing, Yukimura-kun."

Yukimura took the kettle and sat up, with a patch of red sand on his wet back: "It's just one game, I will lose after that."

"The future will be long." Xu You knelt down and reached out to touch the hair on the back of Yukimura's head. The white sweatband was stained with sand, as was the dark blue hair.

Yukimura remained motionless, only feeling the hands behind his head gently combing his hair, and he could even feel Xu You's unsteady breathing after the game.

"..."

"Yukimura-kun's hair is very soft."

"Um...so that guy likes to pat my head."

"That guy? Uncle Yukimura?"

"Yeah." Yukimura narrowed his eyes, inexplicably enjoying Xu You's care, "Natural hair, when I was a child, people always said that I dyed and permed my hair, and said 'such a small perm is not good' or something, ha ha."

"Have you caused Yukimura-kun a lot of trouble?"

"I don't really listen to other people's bad words... Where's You-kun?"

"When I was young... my uncles would touch my hair very lightly, just like I touched Yukimura-kun."

"Really?" The feeling behind him disappeared, Yukimura turned back and tugged Xu You's wrist, "Sit down, anyway, I'll put on long pants later."

Xu You went back and brought Yukimura a coat to put on, and sat obediently beside him: "Xingmura-kun is very suitable for clay courts."

"I have only practiced on hard courts in China. The courts in clubs are generally slow hard courts, so I don't know how it is compatible with other courts." Pulling back his coat, Yukimura held his water bottle with both hands, "You-kun is playing on clay courts. It should be very powerful, right? After all, the forehand is so strong, and the skill level is also high."

"Well...Actually, my performance on the clay court is average, and the most compatible one is the grass court."

"Eh!"

"You see, for us, the front and rear court transitions, the use of strategy, and the change of rhythm will have more room to play on the grass; on the clay court, it is easy to become the same bottom line contest, and the front of the net is not very effective. .”

"makes sense."

"In particular, my backhand is not as stable as Mr. Murakami, and I will make mistakes if I freeze for a long time."

"Ah, I found out about that."

Xu You picked up a pinch of red soil and rubbed it between his fingers: "The grass field is also very comfortable, Yukimura-kun."

Every grass is the result of careful screening. They are exposed to sunlight but not exposed to the sun, moistened by water but not washed by heavy rain. The maintenance staff will go there regularly with scissors, carefully modify each plant, and confirm that it is perfect. .And every grass in the square area gathered into that piece of green grass, and the players ran here.

"I'm really looking forward to it." Yukimura pulled the hem of his clothes and patted the fine sand on his back with his hands behind his back. "Sometimes I think, Yu-kun and I are the same type of players, right? But after every practice game, I always feel There was a negative answer... I don't know why..."

"Yes or no," Xu You stroked the cotton wristband on his left upper arm, "it's probably two branches of a main trunk... so to speak. From the perspective of golf skills, Yukimura-kun has a good grasp of all ball shapes, Forehand, backhand, slice, small ball, high pressure...every shot is so effortless and just right; I use more forehand and volley as weapons. From the perspective of mental strength, Yukimura-kun is more inclined to control... If you use a chess analogy, Yukimura-kun is good at layout, and I am better at breaking the game and countering. But—"

"I think Yukimura-kun and I are both masters with a strong heart."

"meaning is?"

"There's a lot of self-regulation in the game."

Yukimura picked up the racket with his right hand, and looked through the mesh to the three-meter-high fence: "A game..."

"Singles competition is a lonely process," Xu You buried his head in his knees, "Maybe when the audience cheers and marvels, your friends are also among them, but sometimes I really want to ignore them."

"Because no one can help, I am the only one on this battlefield, to experience, and then to solve problems. Problems with style of play, problems with rhythm, problems with mentality; why do I lose the ball, why can't I catch up, why do I make mistakes ..."Only reason can solve problems, instinct is mysterious and can lead people astray.

"It's also kind of fun."

"haha, yes."

The time limit was almost up, the two got up and patted each other's backs, got dressed and went back to the dormitory.

"Yukimura-kun wash first."

Yukimura was taken aback when he heard the words, and then grabbed Xu You's right wrist with a flash of inspiration: "Will you not wash with me?"

"Ang?" Xu You was stunned, "One, together?"

"What's there to worry about? Anyway, the relationship is so good. You can also rub each other's backs."

"This..." Xu You's thoughts drifted a little far away, his eyes drifted away.He thought of the old couple at home, and he couldn't hear the specific interesting talk clearly, but the words "meet each other honestly" were impressive, so that this good word had a special meaning.

His decades have not been in vain.

[Speaking of which, have I ever taken a bath with someone else? ]

[Shuheng?Oh, that time it was a hot spring. ]

The mood becomes less pleasant.

In a daze, Xu You found that his original world couldn't have been too simple.Even □□ are heard from other people's experience.It can't be his fault, the family members are relatively ascetic... most of them.Some are due to psychological shadows.

Seeing that Xu You was in a trance again, Yukimura took out two sets of clothes and dragged him into the bathroom.

"Hey! Yukimura-kun, I haven't got my clothes yet."

"I took it, two sets."

"..."

The door was locked and turned two more times.

[...As for what? ]

The author has something to say:

It's frustrating to say that the plot rhythm is poor emmmmm

Although it was meant to generate electricity for love

I hope there are no pirated articles. When I searched for articles on Baidu, I actually saw the previous one, and I was heartbroken.How hungry are the pirates?

Don't worry about saving manuscripts for now.

------

If the game-like attribute is used to represent the field adaptability (FS) of two people

Yukimura: Clay A+, Grass S, Hard (Slow) A, Hard (Fast) A

Xu You: Clay A, Grass S+, Hard (slow) A, Hard (fast) B

S+ is because of Xu You's 30-year halo & grassland complex in his previous life.

Yukimura likes red clay.

The suitability of the two is affected by the spiritual preference factor.
