Table tennis: Swinging the racket billions of times, achieving a grand slam
Chapter 196: Reunion in a Prisoner of War Camp
Chapter 196: Reunion in a Prisoner of War Camp
Gathered in the airport lobby, waiting for a short while.
The bus arranged by the organizer took everyone to the hotel for check-in.
Now, Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao belong to different teams and are no longer teammates, so naturally they cannot live together like before.
“Brother Jin, why don’t you play in the championship and come to the Magic City team?”
Sitting in the car, Zhang Jiahao looked at Chen Longcan in the front row with some fear and quietly encouraged him.
He also knew that Wang Liqin also wanted to bring Chen Jin into the Magic City team.
Given the current situation of the Magic City team, it all depends on the hard work of two veteran players, Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin.
Among the young generals, except him and Xie Mingyang, the rest are not up to the task.
What’s more, after the Macau Championship and BJ Grand Slam, there is no need to say more about Chen Jin’s strength.
No matter which team Chen Jin joins, the strength of that team will be greatly improved.
However, for players of Chen Jin’s caliber, only traditional strong teams like Beijing and Shanghai are eligible to compete.
Zhang Jiahao knew clearly that the reason why Wang Liqin was willing to recruit him into the Magic City team was, to a large extent, because he was trying to target Pei Gong with his sword.
The butt controls the head. Since Zhang Jiahao is already a member of the Magic City team, his mind will naturally and unconsciously lean towards the Magic City team.
“we’ll see.”
Chen Jin smiled and said nothing.
After all, the S Province team was very kind to him.
Moreover, he had just received the reward. If he asked to change teams at this time, wouldn’t it be heartless and ungrateful?
Come to the hotel.
Under the arrangement of the staff, room cards were distributed to each team.
The person who was assigned to the same room with Chen Jin was Xia Zhipeng.
When they were in the provincial team, Xia Zhipeng and Zhang Jiahao had a good relationship because they were of similar age.
“1408?”
Zhang Jiahao took the room card and shouted, “Who got the room card for room 1408?”
In this national championship, there are five male and five female contestants from the Shanghai team.
If we include the coaches including Wang Liqin, there are eight men in total.
There are exactly four rooms.
Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong live together.
The remaining five people may all share a room with Zhang Jiahao.
Zhang Jiahao muttered in his heart: “Could it be someone with the surname Xie?”
Just when he was thinking this.
Sudden.
Xie Mingyang’s cold voice rang out: “Me.”
“…”
Zhang Jiahao’s brows were suddenly twisted like a knot, and he felt terrible. “It can’t be such a coincidence, right?”
Reluctantly, he moved closer.
But on Xie Mingyang’s room card, it was clearly written “1408”.
“…”
Zhang Jiahao was completely speechless. What the hell was this? A karmic relationship from a past life or a debt from this life?
The two looked at each other, disliked each other, and spat on the ground.
“Everyone, help is needed.”
Zhang Jiahao looked at his teammates for help, clasped his fists, and said sincerely, “Who can exchange rooms with me? I’m willing to exchange one cup of Magic City Young Woman every day for half a month?”
The rest of the teammates looked at Zhang Jiahao with a half-smile and a gloating expression, and no one was willing.
The love-hate relationship between Zhang Jiahao and Xie Mingyang has long been known throughout the Magic City team.
Now that the two of them live together, everyone is there to watch the fun.
“No one wants to trade with me?”
Zhang Jiahao frowned.
His eyes turned.
Seeing Chen Jin not far away, his heart moved slightly and he already had an idea.
Walk quickly towards Chen Jin.
“Brother Jin.”
Zhang Jiahao smiled playfully, “Who are you sharing a room with?”
“Does it have anything to do with you?”
Chen Jin rolled his eyes, “We are rivals now, not teammates.”
“Brother Jin, don’t be so heartless.”
Zhang Jiahao grinned, hugged Chen Jin’s right arm, and rocked it gently with a look of affection and pleading in his eyes, “After all, we were once in the same room, honest with each other, and supported each other.”
“roll!”
Chen Jin shook Zhang Jiahao’s hand away and glared at him fiercely, “Who has ever supported you? Be careful or I will sue you for defamation.”
Zhang Jiahao chuckled and was about to continue to persuade her with thick skin.
At this moment.
“I live in the same room with Chen Jin.”
Xia Zhipeng next to him finally spoke with a smile.
“Pengzi?”
Zhang Jiahao was overjoyed and put his arm around her shoulder, “There’s no need to talk about our relationship, right? Come and change rooms with me.”
“But……”
Xia Zhipeng smiled bitterly, “I don’t know him.”
The person he was talking about was naturally Xie Mingyang.
“It’s ok.”
Zhang Jiahao smiled and said, “I’ll introduce you two to each other right away.”
Just finished speaking.
When I turned around, I saw Xie Mingyang walking towards me with his hands in his trouser pockets.
After looking Xia Zhipeng up and down, Xie Mingyang said indifferently: “Are you in the same room with Chen Jin?”
“Ah.”
Xia Zhipeng was stunned for a moment.
“Mr. Xie, what do you mean?”
Zhang Jiahao raised his head and glared at Xie Mingyang.
“Means nothing.”
Xie Mingyang said, “I just want to change rooms.”
Turning to look at Xia Zhipeng, “I want to change rooms with you.”
“If you don’t want to share a room with a stranger, I can also book a private room for you.”
“Even the presidential suite is fine.”
His words and actions are like the domineering CEO in some melodramatic urban drama come alive in real life.
After listening to Xie Mingyang’s words.
Xia Zhipeng was suddenly even more confused.
What’s going on?
Would you rather book a presidential suite for yourself or switch rooms with me?
It is obvious that this is aimed at Chen Jin.
Hemp egg!
This plot seems very familiar!
What kind of script about a naive and innocent heroine did Chen Jin get?
Without waiting for Xia Zhipeng to react.
Zhang Jiahao was dissatisfied and confronted Xie Mingyang, shouting, “Mr. Xie, do you really want to compete with me?”
“Fight with you?”
Xie Mingyang said disdainfully, “What’s the point of arguing with a defeated general?”
“you–“
A sharp light flashed in Zhang Jiahao’s eyes.
He fought against Xie Mingyang five times and lost all five times.
Such a record seemed like a handle in Xie Ming’s hand, and Zhang Jiahao seemed to lack confidence.
The only solution is to defeat Xie Mingyang once to make him shut up.
“Xie, do you dare to fight me?”
Zhang Jiahao raised his eyebrows, “Whoever wins gets to exchange rooms with Pengzi, how about that?”
“Row.”
Xie Mingyang didn’t refuse either.
The two looked at each other, like a sharp clash of swords, like Mars hitting the Earth.
Xia Zhipeng: “…”
Hey, you made switching rooms with me the bet between the two of you, but did you ask for my consent and take my feelings into consideration?
But seeing that Zhang Jiahao and Xie Mingyang had already put their best efforts into the fight, Xia Zhipeng dared not say anything.
“Director Wang, your two disciples are quite interesting.”
Chen Longcan smiled and said, “It is true that he is young and full of vigor and has a strong desire to win.”
In fact, he knows Zhang Jiahao quite well.
This boy usually laughs and jokes, and is nonchalant, as if he doesn’t care about anything.
He would never argue with anyone unless he got mad at them.
But now, he is confronting Xie Mingyang head-on, which is indeed unusual.
If you don’t know, you might think that the two of them have some deep hatred.
“How can you call someone young if he’s not angry?”
Wang Liqin smiled and said, “As long as nothing happens, it’s a good thing for young people to learn from each other.”
The implication is that Zhang Jiahao and Xie Mingyang should play a friendly match.
The two have not faced each other since the trials.
Wang Liqin also wanted to see how much these two young men had improved after a period of training. “Coach Chen, what do you think about letting one of them live with Chen Jin?”
Wang Liqin said with a smile.
“As long as they are willing, I have no problem with that.”
Chen Longcan is quite generous.
After all, Zhang Jiahao is an old acquaintance.
As for Xie Mingyang, he made it to the quarterfinals of the BJ Grand Slam, and even Lin Gaoyuan lost to him.
Chen Longcan had naturally also heard of Xie Mingyang.
not to mention.
When they were in the national table tennis team, Chen Jin and Xie Mingyang were teammates fighting side by side.
There is nothing wrong with living together.
Since the leaders of both teams had acquiesced to this matter, no one else had any objection.
“My surname is Xie.”
Zhang Jiahao shouted, “See you at the training hall in half an hour.”
“it is good.”
Xie Mingyang nodded.
That’s all.
Dragging the suitcase, I walked to the front desk and booked a separate room at my own expense to rest.
“Humph!”
Zhang Jiahao spat with disdain, “Pretentious!”
Then, they went back to their rooms.
have a break.
Everyone went to the sports center together.
training hall.
It has already gathered players from major teams from all over the world.
As soon as Chen Jinfu appeared.
Then someone excitedly shouted, “Master Chen Jin!”
Follow the sound.
A familiar figure, standing far away, looked excited, jumping and waving continuously.
“Ouyang Liangqin?”
Chen Jin recognized him at first sight.
At the scene, except Ouyang Liangqin, Chen Zihan, Ding Xiaowei, Qin Wenjie… almost all of them were familiar faces from the selection competition.
Seeing Chen Jin, everyone was excited. They put down their rackets and gathered around.
“Master Chen Jin.”
Ouyang Liangqin grasped Chen Jin’s hand, shaking with excitement, and almost crying with joy, “Oh my god, this is the hand of the champion!”
“I must absorb the champion’s touch and luck, and bless me to make it into the top eight in this national championship.”
Qin Wenjie was equally excited: “Let go, it’s my turn now.”
Looking back on the trials, it seems like it was just yesterday.
But now, in just two months, Chen Jin has won three WTT world championships and ranked among the top ten in the world.
He immediately distanced himself from the crowd.
However, Chen Jin did not distance himself from everyone because of this.
Although they have known each other for a short time and have not met each other often, they chat and gossip in the group almost every day.
Separated by worlds, but always connected.
They felt very familiar with each other when they met, and there was no sense of strangeness between them.
Looking at the familiar smiling faces in front of him, Chen Jin smiled and chatted happily.
His eyes turned.
Behind Ding Xiaowei, there stood a tall and handsome young man.
The boy seemed a little shy and kept smiling at Chen Jin.
Chen Jin was slightly startled: “Handsome guy, who are you?”
“what?”
The young man scratched his head with his backhand, his face flushed, even his ears were red, “Master Chen Jin, you, you don’t remember me?”
“and many more!”
Chen Jin reacted instantly, “You are… Anyang?”
“Correct.”
The boy’s face turned redder.
Oh my god, isn’t Anyang a little fat boy?
How come there have been such big changes after not seeing you for two months?
I almost didn’t recognize it!
No wonder they say fat people have potential!
However, although the boy’s appearance has changed a lot, his shy personality has not changed at all.
“Master Chen Jin, let alone you, we were also shocked when we saw Anyang.”
Ouyang Liangqin said with a smile.
“If anyone dares to say that playing table tennis can’t help you lose weight, I will be the first to disagree.”
Ding Xiaowei smiled.
Boys change a lot. After not seeing each other for two months, everyone has changed a little bit.
But it’s not like Anyang, he’s like a different person.
“We are finally all here in the prisoner-of-war camp. We must go out and have a good meal tonight.”
Zhang Jiahao laughed.
Before he finished speaking, everyone was startled.
Ouyang Liangqin looked at Zhang Jiahao in surprise: “Zhang, Zhang…Brother Zhang, when did you come?”
“…”
Zhang Jiahao almost couldn’t hold it in. Are you blind? I’ve been standing here for a long time!
Seeing that Zhang Jiahao looked unhappy and seemed about to explode, Ouyang Liangqin hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, we brothers in the prisoner-of-war camp have finally gathered together, so we must celebrate.”
Although the competition is imminent, the National Championships are not as strict as international competitions.
You just need to report to your respective team leaders before you can go out.
“If you’re having a dinner party, count me in.”
Xie Mingyang suddenly said.
“you?”
Ouyang Liangqin and others were stunned.
They are all contestants in the selection competition, how could they not know each other?
I still remember how disdainful Xie Mingyang was towards Chen Jin and how provocative he was at every turn at the beginning of the trials.
Now, she is together with Chen Jin.
It seems that the relationship is pretty good.
“Go! Go! Go.”
Zhang Jiahao curled his lips and said, “This is a dinner party in our prisoner-of-war camp. You are not from the prisoner-of-war camp, so why should you be counted as one?”
“Prisoner of War camp?”
Xie Mingyang was a little confused.
“Prisoners of war of the great god Chen Jin.”
Qin Wenjie explained with a smile, “He was the one who lost to Master Chen Jin during the trials.”
“Oh?”
Xie Mingyang nodded and said, “So, I am also from the prisoner-of-war camp.”
“How about this, I’ll treat you tonight, and you can order whatever you want. Just consider it my membership fee.”
This statement came out.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Good luck!
Xie Mingyang actually admitted in public that he was Chen Jin’s prisoner of war!
Thinking back to the time when Xie Mingyang was in the trials, he was so arrogant and so disdainful of Chen Jin.
After just two months of not seeing each other, I was completely conquered so quickly?
Brother, I still prefer your rebellious look. Can you please calm down a bit?
“Go, go, go.”
Ouyang Liangqin was the first to react, “I’ll pull you into the group right away.”
But when he searched his pocket, he found nothing.
The phone is not on me.
Ouyang Liangqin hurried back, took out his mobile phone from his backpack, added Xie Mingyang as a friend, and pulled Xie Mingyang into the “Chen Jin God Prisoner of War Camp”.
Everyone was very happy about the addition of Xie Mingyang as a new member.
No matter what, everyone became friends because of the tryouts.
Besides, Xie Mingyang is now much more stable than he was back then.
Only Zhang Jiahao curled his lips and said, “You are so useless. I bought you off with just one meal.”
“Zhang Jiahao.”
Xie Mingyang said coldly, “When does our game start?”
“Anytime.”
Zhang Jiahao raised his chin.
“Contest?”
Ouyang Liangqin and the others immediately became interested, “What competition?”
I heard that the two of them fought each other just to be able to live in the same room with Chen Jin.
Everyone suddenly realized: “I understand, I understand, it turns out that it is the harem of Master Chen Jin that is competing for favor.”
