City People [Rebirth]

Lu Jia has never heard of the tennis court that Zhu Jie invited.In fact, Lu Jia rarely played tennis.

For all sports that require the cooperation of two or more people, Lu Jia can't practice deeply, and he can't be called good at them, but Lu Jia also has advantages in these sports. , the response error is small.Lu Jia has developed athletic nerves and quick reflexes. Even if his movements are not as good as the standard of the professional class, as long as he is not playing with professional players, it is very easy to catch as many rounds as possible.

Furthermore, it was Zhu Jie who made the appointment this time.Lu Jia couldn't help muttering in his heart, what kind of muscle did Zhu Jie have? The last time we met, he said he wanted to run, but he gave up at the beginning. Could this be another whim.

It's been a hot day in July.Lu Jia went out wearing shorts and vest sports attire, went out to see the sky, and immediately called Zhu Jie: "Little pig, are you talking about whether the tennis court is open-air or indoor?"

"It's open-air, how can public tennis courts have indoors?"

"Let's change to another place. Playing tennis this day can burn off a layer of skin. Of course, if you stop playing for 10 minutes, you don't need to change."

"Hmph, just change. Let me tell you, Lu Jia, I am no longer the old Zhu Jie! I only asked you out until now, just to let you see how good I am!"

Zhu Jie's tone was very confident, as if he was going to heaven.This made Lu Jia really curious. Did Zhu Jie really change?Lu Jia then changed the agreed location to a comprehensive fitness club he had been to. The tennis court there was pretty good, and there happened to be a swimming pool there, so he could go for a couple of laps after playing tennis.

After telling Zhu Jie to put on his swimming trunks, Lu Jia drove to pick Zhu Jie up.

Zhu Jie lives in the dormitory of Haicheng Research Institute, but the dormitory for doctoral students is not inside the research institute, but in a small three-story building along the street outside, next door is a convenience store, and the surrounding traffic and business are very convenient, just parking It's very troublesome, the old street is too narrow, you can only stop and go as you go, otherwise it will block half of the road.This street is full of low-rise buildings, all of which are old buildings from the past. The housing price of this area is considered high in Haicheng. It is a bit of an architectural relic. Walking inside, the fast pace of life in Haicheng seems to be here. Slowed down, compared with those tall buildings outside, it was like two worlds.

As soon as the red Lust stopped towards the dormitory, Zhu Jie, who was already waiting there, quickly got into the car, still holding a fan in his hand.With the air conditioner turned on in the car, Zhu Jie sighed in enjoyment: "I didn't expect it to be so hot today, and the weather forecast said the highest temperature today is 27!"

He waited for a long time and didn't hear Lu Jia cooperate with him to reply, only to realize that Lu Jia looked at him thoughtfully through the rearview mirror from time to time.Zhu Jie was taken aback, and said, "Drive well, and see what I do!"

Lu Jia turned his eyes and looked forward: "It's okay, I'm paying attention to the front. See how you've changed..."

"It's not good to look ahead, it's too dangerous to be distracted." Zhu Jie nagged a few words in dissatisfaction, and Lu Jia said that he must obey the organization's command and concentrate on driving.Afterwards, he was really focused, no matter what Zhu Jie said, Lu Jia would not respond.

When the car stopped at the club, Zhu Jie hurriedly knocked on Lu Jia: "Hey, say something quickly, I'm going to suffocate."

"Pfft, I didn't expect you to react so strongly."

Lu Jia was not in a hurry to get out of the car, and turned around to look at Zhu Jie.Even though he was sitting in a sitting position and was blocked by a seat, the changes that happened to Zhu Jie were so obvious.The first feeling is that Zhu Jie is energetic, the dark circles under the eyes are gone, his complexion is rosy and full of vitality, after the swelling of the eyelids disappears, even though the eyes are hidden behind the glasses, the eyes look much bigger and the face is firmer.

"Come down and turn around twice for me to have a look." Lu Jia urged.

Zhu Jie came down with his head held high, almost hitting the car door, and really turned around twice.Now Lu Jia watched carefully, and thought to himself, since we haven't seen each other for a few months, Zhu Jie has really been exercising a lot.

If Zhu Jie was a weak chicken in the past, he has now been upgraded to a normal-sized rooster.He already has faint muscles on his body, which can support his clothes, instead of hanging loose and weak like before. His back is straightened up, his lines are much straighter, his body is much stronger, and he has become a handsome man. Boy, there is no trace of the otaku in the past.

"How about it, have I been exercising well for a few months?"

While swiping his membership card, Lu Jia dismissed him: "It's still far away."

"I know you are embarrassed to praise me. After I failed to run with you that time, I went back and thought a lot. I wanted to change again, but I didn't have the perseverance. I thought it would be better for someone to supervise me. I wanted to find you, but I thought it would be too much trouble for you, so I went to a gym to exercise. When I first entered, I was told that there was a discount for private training. I booked [-] lessons, the results are not bad, it was not in vain, and I plan to renew."

"There is no need to buy a personal trainer. There are a lot of tutorial software now, and you can have the same effect as you do in the gym. You have already subscribed, and there is really no need to renew. You continue at the same pace as before. Just keep practicing."

Lu Jia suggested seriously.Zhu Jie is still a student. The nature of his major and time limit him to a part-time job. Although he has subsidies and project bonuses, he no longer takes money from his family. I don't know how to save the private education fee.

"...Well, you are right. Money is really a big problem. Even if I graduate, I have no other choice but to stay in the research institute. I have to start as a poor little researcher. I am not that kind As soon as I start a project, I can surprise everyone with my skills, and I don’t know when I can survive until I can independently host the project.”

"That is to say, in Haicheng, there is no other treatment for doctoral students to stay. I read the news a few days ago, and saw a certain person calling for postgraduate doctoral students to return to their hometowns for construction. As long as they are doctoral students, they will be given 50 resettlement fees."

"50 in Haicheng can't even hit a single leaf."

This topic is too heavy, Zhu Jie sighed twice and stopped thinking about it.His life path has already been planned, even if there are many money paths in front of him, it is impossible for him to choose, all his will seems to be concentrated on this aspect.He has already given up the idea of ​​renewing the private training course. At first, he just wanted Lu Jia to give him an idea. That beautiful private trainer speaks like a spring, and every time he speaks, he seems to be poured into *soup, what? Hear it all, and can't refute it at all.

The tennis court occupies a lot of land, and there are only three tennis halls in this comprehensive club.The two came early, and one of them happened to be unused.Lu Jia weighed the cheapest tennis racket he had just bought at the door, picked up a tennis ball and slapped it towards the opposite side. The tennis ball hit the iron net on the opposite side with a whistling sound, and the iron net was brought up and dangled, showing how strong the force was. .

Zhu Jie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling as if his body was in pain... Lu Jia couldn't catch the trajectory of the ball at all!If it was an actual sparring... Zhu Jie held the tennis racket he had been with for two months, his eyes became firmer, and he said, "Come on, let's start!"

5 minutes later.

Zhu Jie put on a sad face and stopped beating him.

"You bully! The swish ball just passed by, I didn't see anything, how do you want me to hit it!"

"If you don't fight like this, you still think how good you are. Okay, let's fight again."

So the sparring started again.Lu Jia suppressed his true strength, and gave Zhu Jie accommodating his strength and rhythm to feed him moves, so Zhu Jie felt hearty when he hit the ball, Lu Jia could catch the ball he served, and he could also catch the ball returned by him Received, back and forth for a long time without interruption.

When this kind of ball game is not for the purpose of competition, once it enters a good situation and keeps playing back and forth, there will be a particularly strong sporting fun. As a beginner, Zhu Jie always interrupts after a few back and forth during sparring. It's easy to get irritable, and it's not a problem if you play so smoothly like now.

This time, Zhu Jie's arm was sore and he missed a ball that he had to catch.He picked up a towel and wiped the sweat off his face, took another sip of water, and said out of breath, "I'll come back after a while."

Lu Jia also took a sip of water.The air-conditioning in the tennis hall was fully turned on. When he was playing tennis just now, he seldom moved his feet and basically stayed in place. The main movements were his arms and wrists. He didn't need much effort, so he didn't sweat.

Although he didn't show his true strength in order to feed Zhu Jie, Lu Jia played quite happily.Zhu Jie was one of his few friends, and he was also very relieved to see his friend finally get rid of that weak body like a chicken.

At this time, a young man came in from the entrance of the tennis hall. He stood there for a long time just now, and walked up to Lu Jia excitedly and said, "Hi, I just watched your playing process. You are very good. I Can I compete with you?"

At a glance, Lu Jia saw that his left knee was tied with a hip bone belt, and his right hand was also tied with a sports belt. He knew that he was probably a tennis player, and he was just happy to see him at this moment.

But Lu Jia still refused.

The man showed regret and asked again, but Lu Jia still said sorry.As if suddenly realizing it, he said, "Did you sign up for the Haicheng tennis match next month?"

He thought that Lu Jia refused because he wanted to hide his strength.In fact, Lu Jia just thought it was boring. He didn't know much about tennis, so he knew the rules. In terms of the standard of racket holding, Zhu Jie was better than him. So he went to play against a semi-professional. , winning or losing is meaningless.

"I rarely play tennis, and I have no intention of signing up." Lu Jia explained.
