[Comprehensive] First Love Trainee

After returning from the US Open, there is still one month before the next stop of the China Open. Tezuka temporarily returned to Tokyo for a short rest, and by the way, he also spent time with his family.

He spends most of the year competing around the world, and even in China, he doesn't have many opportunities to get along with his family, so he feels indebted.

At the age of 15, when he packed his bags and left for Germany, his parents, who had never objected to him playing tennis, raised different opinions for the first time.

How difficult it is to walk as a professional player, even if you haven't passed it, you can imagine it.They are the most ordinary parents in the world. Although they love their children and are willing to give them a certain amount of space and freedom, they also hope to teach their children their life experience so that they can avoid detours.

Wanting to get ahead in the tennis world and break out of your own world is not the same as participating in club activities and striving for a national championship like this now.

Although he didn't mention it, Tezuka knew that his arm injury had always worried his parents, but he just didn't want to say it to make him feel psychologically burdened.

Tezuka's parents are gentle in character, and they often don't have the majesty of elders in front of their calm and resolute son.Their family has always been democratic, and he usually makes his own decisions about his own affairs. His parents seldom interfere. Even if they object, they just analyze the pros and cons with him.

There are no more than two reasons. One is that he is worried that the excessive intensity of professional training will damage his health and make his arm condition worse.The second is the future issue.

It is of course a good thing to be able to stand out, but the career path is long and arduous, and no one knows what the future result will be.Although they believe in their son's talent and hard work, there are many different types of players in the world. It is not unheard of how many junior champions have lost their sparkle in obscurity after being transferred to the adult group.Taking a step back, what should I do if my grades are not satisfactory after a few years?

"I will continue to read books, and I will also play tennis." Tezuka remembers, this is the stubborn answer of his 15-year-old self.He has always been unafraid of challenges, not to mention the ideals he has always been thinking about.Youthful spirit, young and frivolous, although these words seem to have nothing to do with the steady Tezuka Kunimitsu, in fact, he has never lost his pride and ambition in his bones.

Compared with his gentle father, his grandfather, who was a policeman and martial arts instructor when he was young, has a much tougher temper. Tezuka's character and many habits are also influenced by his grandfather.In the matter of Dajo.com, it was his grandfather who gave him the strongest support in the end, persuading his parents to let go of their worries and trust their son.

"Young man, if you don't let him really go the way he wants to go, he will always be unwilling if he doesn't hit the south wall." Grandpa said, "As a family, we can be his backing with peace of mind, that's all. something that can be done."

Later, after he really made achievements and became well-known, Tezuka lived separately from his family for convenience.Although he does not spend a long time in the country every year, as a public figure, it is always more difficult to maintain privacy than ordinary people.Whether it's the pursuit of the media or the pursuit of fans, whether it's kindness or trouble, it always makes life a little bit less convenient.Therefore, in order to protect family information, he himself has an apartment in Setagaya, and he will live there when he returns to China.

Although it is a rest before the game, it is still necessary to maintain a certain amount of exercise.After getting over the jet lag, Tezuka went to the tennis center for individual training.

This tennis center in Shinjuku is a high-end membership club built by the Atobe Foundation. It has complete facilities, good security, and high privacy. There is absolutely no possibility of being secretly photographed. It is also Tezuka's regular training place in Japan.The club has set up a whole floor of dedicated courts for him, and has dedicated passages. Even if other members use the court, they will not conflict with him, resulting in the disclosure of training content or loss of personal privacy.

Keigo Atobe does things in the same style from before to now, which has never changed.

It's thoughtful, but it's more like the "gorgeous" that Atobe himself always talks about.

Atobe returned to Japan to take office at the beginning of the year.

When he was an undergraduate, he studied at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and spent three years taking credits. By the way, he became familiar with the North American business of the consortium. After that, he transferred to Imperial College of Technology to study for a master's degree in management, and spent another two years familiarizing himself with the European business.After establishing contacts and basic experience, this young master, who used to be gorgeous and elegant, even went to work in Hong Kong and Australia for a year and nine months in order to understand grassroots work. It was not until the beginning of the year that he officially took over the headquarters from his father. baton.

It is also thanks to the different experiences he has gained in various branches in the past few years that he has sophisticated means and unique vision.He was famous for his excellent insights when he was a teenager. As he got older, his arrogant temper was slightly restrained. The judgment of the consortium's affairs should not be underestimated. The board of directors occasionally tried to trip up the young president by relying on their seniority.

The work is getting better and better, so naturally you can also play two sets of tennis with the so-called "enemies" and friends at the right time.

Although now, Mr. President, who is just relaxing as a hobby, is naturally impossible to be on par with the world's No. [-] who ruled the men's singles tennis scene at a young age.

As an adult, he is no longer as obsessed with winning or losing tennis games as he was when he was a teenager. Of course, Atobe has long accepted the fact that he can no longer draw with Tezuka, and playing together is just for relaxation and pleasure.The two came out of the stadium, sat in the lounge and had a cup of coffee to take a break. After chatting for a while, Atobe asked his friend a little funny as if he remembered something: "Speaking of it, are you still like that?"

"What?" The other party's sudden jump in the topic made Tezuka a little uncomfortable. He glanced at Atobe, and there was some real surprise in his eyes.

"You and Maki Asai, are you still the same?" Atobe knew from Tezuka's expression that there should be no progress. He couldn't hold back, and finally complained in front of the person involved.

"It's been 11 years, is it over for the two of you?"

When Tezuka's old injury relapsed back then and went to rehabilitation, Asai Maki asked Atobe's rehabilitation address repeatedly. Although he didn't tell anyone at that time, he also thought that the two people would get back together in a logical way.

As a result, after the young master finished his undergraduate studies, transferred to Imperial College of Technology to study management, and went to Wimbledon to watch Tezuka's match, he found out that the two of them had only met once in so many years. -send email.

Now that Tezuka Kunimitsu's points ranking is stable, as long as he fights for another French Open champion, he can become the ninth Grand Slam player in history. How can he be so tepid with Maki Asai?

"Are you going to send an email to her and send it to the grave?" The irritated young master opened his tongue with full force, "To say you are an online dating is an insult to the word online dating! I don't think you didn't mean that, why have you been here for so many years?" Is it still like this?" He really didn't understand what kind of relationship these two people had.

To say that they don't care about each other anymore, Maki Asai will not take the time to go to Munich, and it is impossible to maintain contact for so many years-although it is tepid.But if you want to go both ways, the attitudes of the two parties are too inactive, right?

"I knew you were so disappointing. I didn't tell Maki Asai the address of your rehabilitation back then. Everyone sent you to your door. You are so efficient. It's a waste of my time!"

Tezuka pondered for a while.

I only saw each other twice in 11 years, and one of them was unilaterally "saw" the other party, so I couldn't speak.Despite the emails and the occasional phone call, this was a situation that would have seemed alien to anyone looking at it.

It is impossible to accurately explain this relationship to other people, but in Tezuka Kunimitsu's heart, he really feels the support and trust that he and Maki have given each other over the years.

This is different from when he focused on the national competition.At that time, most of the topics between them revolved around tennis and competitions, and they didn't even discuss such things as entering a higher school. From the beginning to the end, they seemed to be cooperating with his plan.He is always pampered.

Bearing the team's wins and losses, the expectations of his seniors, and the trust of his peers, Tezuka can't and doesn't want to show his inner pressure to anyone.Knowing that Maki is trying his best to understand and support him, he feels even more unable to let her see his weakness.Therefore, he didn't mention the difficulties during recovery, he didn't mention when he was troubled by nervous spasms and had to go to Kyushu in a hurry, and he didn't mention the inner impatience when he used tricks that hurt himself several times to win the game.

He is not used to relying on others emotionally, and he rarely pays attention to Maki's needs, so their ideas sometimes conflict.But at that time, they didn't know how to solve each other, so they could only pretend to ignore each other.

Later, they regained contact, and he began to understand what happened around her from emails and phone calls.

The studies are intense, the papers are complicated, the tutors are strict, and the experiments are tricky.

I almost vomited in the first physical anatomy class, and I had no appetite for several days; for the first time, I won the opportunity to pull the hook in the operation, and the excitement has not yet passed, because the pull hook for several hours caused my arm to be sore for the next few days It was the first time to see a patient independently. He was a drunkard who was delusional. When he was checked, he was vomited all over, and he came home in a state of embarrassment.

He also started talking about himself.

It is difficult to arrange time for studying while playing ball. After completing high school courses, I applied to the law school of the University of Munich, but due to the tight competition schedule, too many missed classes and too late to take credits, my graduation was delayed; I frequently traveled around the world to catch up with the schedule and fly by plane My eardrums hurt when I sat down, and I had to rely on melatonin for jet lag. It took me a long time to get used to it. In fact, German food was really not to my liking, and learning how to cook while watching videos was not as easy as imagined.

In the past, when they were still dating, they rarely talked about the difficulties they encountered.Maki loves to be brave, for fear of causing trouble to others if something is not done well, she always tries her best to understand others.Tezuka felt that being a good leader was a matter of course. It was his own choice, and he had to bear the good or the bad.But maybe because they jumped out of the shackles of their identities and looked at the relationship between the two with the eyes of friends, they both began to become frank.

It turned out that Maki Asai, who has always been strong and considerate, would also be dissatisfied with the students in the same group for delaying the experiment, would complain about the hot-mouthed English of the Indian professor, would stay up all night before the deadline to catch up on papers, and would complain about research The seniors in the group assigned her too many chores.

Although they barely see each other, they become more and more real in each other's world.
