The gentle sound of the sycamore trees was blown by the breeze, the sound of motorcycle engines passing through the alley broke the tranquility, and the aroma of freshly baked bread exuded around the corner of the street. The smell of baking immediately overflowed with the breath of life.
Not far away, you can see a white-haired lady passing by holding a baguette, standing at the intersection waiting for the green light, lighting a cigarette gracefully, as if she is on the catwalk before she reaches it, and the traces of time have evolved in those thin lines.
for a charm.
Paris has always had a unique temperament.
Neither Gao Wen nor Gao Hongli spoke and kept quiet, but the atmosphere was not awkward.
The joy and happiness from the fans still filled the air, the aura between the two people also became softer, and the same silence became comfortable.
The two of them walked forward in silence. Gao Hongli looked up and saw that they were not far from his residence. If he didn't speak, he might not have a chance.
Think about it.
"Xiao Wu, you did a good job."
Gao Hongli broke the calm, but his words seemed to have no beginning or end.
He realized it himself, and then added another sentence.
"I just want to say that you did a good job, very, very well. There is no need to care about other people's opinions and opinions, and there is no need to care about those records and history."
"You just need to continue to be yourself, and that's enough."
The words were somewhat simple. Although the words were unclear, Gawain still understood it——
Obviously, Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun should be worried about themselves.
Subconsciously, Gawain wanted to say that he was fine, that it didn't matter to him, and that he wouldn't care.
But when the words reached his mouth, he paused.
Gawain realized that if this was not his second chance, and if his mental age was consistent with his physical age, would he be able to maintain a normal heart?
In fact, even though this is already Gawain's second life, everything he is experiencing at this time is still brand new and strange at the same time——
Having won the US Open and Australian Open consecutively, does Gao Wen want to complete a hat trick and continue to top the French Open?
think.
Of course he does.
He will not pretend to say that he has never thought about the feat of climbing Roland Garros. He must have thought about it, and such thoughts have appeared in his mind more than once. That desire, that urgency, that expectation, like a gurgling
The boiling magma continues to rush through the blood vessels.
There is motivation; there is also pressure.
So far, he has not experienced failure in a major championship, and he is facing a clay court that he is not familiar with. From the clay court events in the past few weeks, it can be seen that he needs to face a practical problem:
You might lose.
This situation is different from any time before. For a newcomer who has entered the professional tennis world for less than a year, even if Gao Wen has a rock-solid will and perseverance, he must face the mountain in front of him and adjust his mentality.
Find the way to continue climbing the dangerous peak.
Gawain has never shown it all this time, but not saying it doesn't mean there is no problem, he just doesn't want them to worry.
But at this time.
Looking at Gao Hongli, the little face just now appeared in his mind, and he suddenly realized:
I am not fighting alone; at the same time, I am not fighting alone with my dreams on my back.
So, the words that came to my mouth paused for a moment, and then changed.
"What if I lose in the first round?"
This is also a possibility. It is not that Gawain lacks confidence, but that he remains rational and objective, and corrects his position with the mentality of starting over.
Faced with such a problem, Gao Hongli blurted out his words without any hesitation, "That means there are more challenges waiting in the future."
There was a natural determination in his eyes, "Xiao Wu, clay soil is full of unknowns. In the past few months, you have experienced it best. You have been groping and exploring. This also proves that tennis is not so
It’s simple, but it’s not that easy to become a top player.”
"Those ignorant weaklings will say, why is there clay court? Can't the clay court season be cancelled? But they obviously do not realize the true charm of tennis. They live in their own world and have lost the patience and patience to explore the infinite possibilities.
Perseverance, I truly feel sorry for them."
"So, there is no need to care about results. Clay court requires patience and tenacity. We all know that this is only the first season. There will be second and third seasons, and there are many, many more."
"If we are eliminated in the first round, it means that there are still many challenges on clay; it also proves that in tennis, there are still many peaks waiting to be climbed."
"I think this should be considered a good thing."
As the words went back and forth, Gao Hongli's words became completely smooth, without any hesitation or hesitation just now.
It can be seen that this is what Gao Hongli really thinks.
Gawain gently raised his chin and looked at his father again, "Doesn't it matter if there is no champion?"
Gao Hongli took a deep look at Gao Wen, his face was full of sincerity, and he spoke with sincerity.
"Of course it doesn't matter."
"The championship is very important, very important. Players stand on the field to win and fight for the championship, go all out and leave no regrets."
"But at the end of the day, no matter what the result is, you should accept it calmly. No championship does not mean failure. Regroup, move on, and continue to work towards the next goal."
"In competitive sports, people always only see the glory of the championship, but forget that without the second or third place, without the existence of other participants, the halo of the championship will no longer exist, those miracles, those brilliance, those rays
, belongs to the champion, but also belongs to the opponent.”
"The championship is important, but the struggle and hard work on the road to the championship are equally important, or even more important."
But as he spoke, Gao Hongli paused. He finally realized that Gao Wen was joking——
How come Gawain doesn’t understand these principles?
It is precisely because of this that Gao Wen's playing temperament is unique. He refuses to leave regrets on the field, but he also refuses to extend the emotion of victory and defeat into life.
Gao Hongli looked at Gao Wen, with a helpless smile in his eyes, shook his head gently, and immediately reacted:
Gawain is using this method to express that he is fine and there is no need to worry.
"Xiao Wu, we all know that you are very smart and independent. We don't need to worry. You have relied on yourself to survive these years."
"But, Xiaowu, you are not Superman, and more importantly, you are not a human being."
"I just want to tell you that it's okay to be vulnerable occasionally, and it's okay to share the burden and pressure occasionally. No matter what time, your mother and I will stand by your side. Don't pay attention to those voices and noises. Trust us.
Well, we are always on your side."
I said it, and I finally said it.
Gao Hongli thought it would be difficult. This was not his usual style and habit. He thought about it over and over in his mind for a long time, but he couldn't find an incision.
But in fact, after he opened his mouth, everything seemed to fall into place, and even he was very surprised.
only.
After he said it, he felt a little reserved. Such a conversation was really not suitable for him. His hands and feet were slightly numb, and he didn't even dare to look directly into Gawain's eyes——
