Moscow in the early morning was exceptionally quiet, with no noise, no hustle, and bustle. The snow has stopped, and there is a rare bright sun appearing on the horizon, and then she shines her radiance on the snow, but this radiance is as small and weak as a newborn baby, unable to melt even a little bit of snow but it was able to make the snow-white ground brighter.
Zhang Guan slowly opened his eyes and realized that it was already dawn, and then he remembered something that happened last night.
"She won't go again right?" Zhang Guan immediately turned his head but found that Sharapova was lying beside him, staring at herself, and there was a faint trace of tears between her eyes, and her golden hair was scattered. On the white pillow, the wheat-like healthy complexion looks more exotic. For a time, Zhang Guan was dumbfounded.
"The ancients Yun Meiren are picturesque, er, no, this is a Western girl, then it's an oil painting!" Zhang Guan thought secretly.
"Are you awake?" Sharapova then added: "I also just woke up."
"I'm sorry..." Zhang Guan said subconsciously.
"Why do you apologize?" Sharapova asked.
"You're crying." Zhang Guan felt that he might have done it himself.
"It's not because of you." Sharapova took a deep breath, and then said: "Just when I woke up, I felt aggrieved and a little confused."
Zhang Guan froze for a moment, then suddenly realized that she was still a girl under eighteen years old. Perhaps what happened suddenly these days made her a little unacceptable. Perhaps he had been under tremendous pressure.
"I started playing tennis when I was five years old..." Sharapova began to tell everything about her. At the age of five, she began to learn to play tennis. At the age of 9, her father changed her property and took her across the ocean and came to the United States. At that time, they had no money. And Sharapova also focused all her attention on tennis, because she knew that only tennis could change her life. It took five years for this kind of life. Until 2000, Sharapova won the first championship in her life. Although it was only the championship of the junior group, it was enough to attract the attention of many people. Then she had sponsorship, although the money was not much, at least they could greatly improve their lives. Then in 2001, Sharapova participated in the professional league for the first time. In 2002, Sharapova was only 15 years old and took the stage of the WTA (International Women's Professional Professional Network), and in Wimbledon and Australia. Nets won the second place in the junior competition. In 2003, Sharapova won the first WTA Tour Championship and then was the 2004 Wimbledon Grand Slam.
Zhang Guan listened quietly. He could imagine that a nine-year-old girl in the United States would have experienced many difficulties, perhaps being discriminated against, unfair, and even subjected to campus violence .. but she tried hard to persevere, under tremendous pressure, and then stood at the pinnacle of the world.
Zhang Guan suddenly felt that he was a soft egg compared to Sharapova. She is strong, she is persistent, she works hard, she has achieved success, while he is just a cheater who relies on the system.
"What about you? Zhang, tell me about you..." Sharapova said.
"Okay, Sharapova." Zhang Guan suddenly changed his voice and asked, "What should I call you now? Maria?"
"You still call me Maria!" Sharapova said.
"Okay, Maria." Zhang Guan hugged Sharapova tightly and said, "My family is very ordinary. I can't talk about wealth or poverty. I was very ordinary when I was young, and like ordinary people, I went to kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Then I took an athlete test and was selected by my coach as an athlete. Then I broke the national record and broke the Asian record. It broke the world record again at the Olympics... well, you should know the next thing. "
"It's over?" Sharapova asked, glaring.
"It's over." Zhang Guan nodded, remembering the experience of his last life, and said: "Before seventeen, I was an ordinary person, a very ordinary person, so I lived an ordinary life, everything is a step-by-step approach. If I'm not an athlete, I might have been admitted to a third-rate university, and then find an ordinary job, find a wife who is not pretty but a virtuous wife, have one or two children and live a life without me."
"It's probably a good life for me!" Sharapova nodded thoughtfully, then got up from the bed, picked up the bath towel that fell on the ground, covered her body, and walked to the bathroom, "I have to take a bath."
"Do you want to shower together?" Zhang Guan smiled evilly. Seeing that Sharapova had no objection, he immediately jumped off the bed and followed her like a pug.
...
The escort sent by the center was overwhelmed for one night. In principle, athletes are not allowed to act alone, but Zhang Guan went directly to someone else's car yesterday. If something unexpected happens, he must be responsible.
Fortunately, he learned at the front desk last night that Zhang Guan had returned, which greatly relieved him, but he came to Zhang Guan's door early the next morning and wanted to ask what happened yesterday?
A waiter pushed out the dining car out of Zhang Guan's room with a smile on his face and a tip of one hundred dollars in his hand. He could get such an income early in the morning, enough to make the mood of his whole day already worthwhile.
The escort saw the waiter and immediately asked, "Is the guest inside getting up?"
The waiter knew that the Asian in front of him and the Asian guest who had just tipped him came together, so he nodded, "Yes, I think they are having breakfast. Er, I suggest that you should spend a little while before disturbing him again! "
For the sake of tips, the waiter reminded in good faith. But the escort at the center didn't care about the waiter's reminder, nor did he notice that the waiter applied the word "them".
He walked to the door of Zhang Guan 's room and knocked gently. Soon after, Zhang Guan opened the door. He stepped in and walked in, and said, "Zhang Guan, you yesterday ..."
He had just said halfway, but saw a blonde woman in the room, wearing a nightgown, sitting at the table for breakfast.
Although he does not recognize Sharapova, how can he not understand what this is all about in this scene!
"Uh, it seems that I didn't come at the right time. Let's go back and say it again!" He glared at Zhang Guan with a deep intention, then quickly walked out of the room and closed the door for Zhang Guan.
"You young people are more open-minded! Would you like to report this thing?" He hesitated, and then said to himself: "Athletes are usually under pressure to train and compete, so they should relax occasionally. Tensed nerves. No wonder they ran directly yesterday. It turned out to be a beautiful lady's appointment! But I have to remind Zhang Guan to pay attention to safety."
...
In the room, Sharapova saw Zhang Guan coming back and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"No problem." Zhang Guan shook his head, but secretly wondered whether to buy something for the center's escort at the airport duty-free shop and blocked his mouth.
Zhang Guan sat next to Sharapova, inserted a leaf of vegetables, and put it directly in his mouth.
"Something else?" Sharapova asked.
"I'm going to Germany to participate in indoor competition, and next Thursday, according to regulations, I can't eat food at least, at least meat is not allowed to eat casually. Vegetables should be no problem." Zhang Guan said.
"Then you can't eat vegetables all the time these days! If athletes don't eat meat, it won't work," Sharapova said.
"It doesn't matter. I ordered the steak. The people I brought will go to the kitchen and watch the chef cook it. It will be fine to eat like that. "Zhang Guan paused and said, "So what about you? What's next, what are your arrangements?"
"I'm going to Japan. I thought that if you want to return to your country, I can still be on the same flight with you. I didn't expect you to stay in Europe." Sharapova continued: "Japan's Pan Pacific Open at the end of the month, the bonus is very high, so it is worth a visit."
"Yeah, the Japanese like to smash money." Zhang Guan thought of the appearance fee for the Yokohama All-Star Game and deeply agreed.
...
The love of two athletes in different fields is destined to gather together, both Zhang Guan and Sharapova have endless games, so they are not destined to stay together every day like ordinary lovers.
After a short good time, Zhang Guan had to separate from Sharapova and then boarded the plane to Germany, and Sharapova was about to go to Tokyo.
The Spoken Cup indoor track and field competition is held in Stuttgart, Germany. Compared to the cold Moscow, Stuttgart in the basin is much warmer. Because of the large number of forests around the city, there is no ice and snow in the winter, and there are rarely cold winds. Of course, precipitation is also relatively low, and the climate is relatively dry.
The vast majority of track and field athletes prefer a dry climate, with less water in the air, and electrolytes in muscle cells can bring better explosiveness to athletes.
After Zhang Guan arrived in Stuttgart, he had just gone through the formalities of entering the hotel and received a call from He Yiming.
"Zhang Guan, your new world record is too timely. I have a piece of very interesting news here. There is a greater disagreement within the association regarding our team of brokers. There is now a voice that does not affect you for the time being. Participating in the competition, the matter about the agent team was temporarily suspended." He Yiming continued with some sighs." Sports events are winners, I did not expect a world record to be so important."
"Do you want me to add more fire?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Add fire? Why break another world record?" He Yiming asked with a smile.
"Well, I work hard and fight for it, and can almost break the world record." Zhang Guan answered.
