Chapter 1116: Business as usual
"How did Grigor and you become friends?" Sharapova could hardly control her expression and was just a little bit away from bursting into cursing.
It was originally a complaint, but Gao Wen easily counterattacked, "How did you and Novak become friends?"
In real life, after getting to know each other better, I found that Sharapova is actually a person who likes to joke around, loves to play and laugh, and is beautiful and kind-hearted.
At least, that's what Dimitrov said.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Sharapova has a good relationship with players who like to play pranks and fight, such as Roddick and Djokovic. In direct contrast, she has a gentlemanly relationship with relatively serious players such as Federer and Nadal, and their private relationship is average.
Logically speaking, Sharapova and Gao Wen should have been able to become friends, but the beginning of the story seemed to be misplaced.
Sharapova has a preconceived prejudice against Gao Wen. The first impression is often the most wrong but also the most difficult to correct stereotype. That's why his eyes are not eyes and his nose is not a nose. She just can't stand him no matter how she looks at him.
Now, blocked by Gawain's words, Sharapova was also stunned, her eyes wide open, and it seemed that the swear word was already on the tip of her tongue.
Gawain used his interruption skill just right, "Pay attention, the children are watching. Come on, let's play our roles today well."
After saying that, Gawain turned to the crowd, showing a brilliant smile and waving his hand, easily——
Ahhh! A scream broke out from the crowd, reminding them of their current location and situation.
Sharapova also had to look at the crowd, also showing a business smile, but the smile was not real. She moved a little closer to Gao Wen and said with ventriloquism, "Do other people know that you are such a rogue?"
"Thank you for the compliment." Gao Wen said seriously.
SHARAPOVA: …
Crunch.
Crunch.
If Gao Wen heard correctly, it should be the sound of Sharapova gritting her teeth.
Gao Wen turned his head and gave Sharapova a bright smile, "Be careful not to break your teeth, or it won't look good in the photo."
Sharapova, "You just said racket fencing, right? No problem, let's have a competition, I promise I won't use violence."
Originally, this should be a threat, but any attack on Gawain seems to be different——
"Huh? You're interested too! See, I just said this should be interesting. I think we have something in common."
"But I'm a little worried about the fencing results..."
Sharapova was furious. Did this guy despise her? "You should worry about yourself. Let's try it. We don't know who will get hurt!"
"Yes, that's what I mean. Whether it hurts you or me, Gregor will be sad, so he should be the biggest loser?"
Sharapova: She doesn't want to talk to this guy! If she says one more word to this guy, she strongly suspects she might explode on the spot.
Just right.
A burst of bustling cheers came to my ears, mixed with Courier's introduction, pushing the atmosphere to a new peak.
"Let's give a round of applause to...Maria...Sharapova..."
"And... Gao... Wen..."
The extended tail tone gives the audience enough time to ignite their passion.
Roar, roar, roar! Ahhhh! The scene was filled with uproar.
The children stared at the two superstars with wide eyes and full of anticipation, clapping loudly and cheering enthusiastically. The atmosphere was different from that of ordinary games.
Judging from the volume alone, it is definitely not as good as the competition. The children in front of me shouted with all their might, but the volume still could not compare to that of adults; however, from their eyes and movements, I could feel the surge of emotions, so pure, so simple, and so strong, my heart also soared.
The air is filled with the scent of dreams.
What is even more incredible is that passers-by who heard the noise also stopped to watch. They originally just wanted to watch the excitement, but now they also stopped.
One by one, they all slowed down and squeezed some time out of their schedules because of Sharapova or Gao Wen - or Courier.
In a blink of an eye, the small garden was filled with plants inside and outside, spreading out layer by layer towards the woods behind, full of lush greenery.
Before I could pay attention, I lowered my head, and when I looked up again, I could no longer see a place to land, and even the bushes were filled up.
Full.
It was packed with people.
The place was bustling with people.
If I had come a little later, I would probably only be able to see a strand of hair on Gawain's head.
From the side, one can clearly feel that Sharapova and Gao Wen's top popularity is indeed second to none in today's professional tennis.
Soler looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction. He knew that the sign of "new generation superstar" might not be comparable to Federer, but the freshness and vitality could still create different waves and cause a frenzy in Miami.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The future should belong to Gao Wen.
Moreover, Gao Wen still belongs to IMG, which is the most important thing.
Sharapova may have opinions about Gao Wen, but she is still professional and rational enough. In front of these children, Gao Wen is nothing.
Both players smiled, temporarily suppressed their personal emotions, displayed a positive mental outlook in front of the children, and interacted with them.
Someone once said that a child's mind is like a mirror, it reflects what it projects.
That joy, that happiness, that joy, that carefree purity and simplicity, are reflected on the children and bloom with brilliant light.
Remind the players that they once had the same dream and embarked on their own path to pursue their professional careers, reawakening their initial enthusiasm.
Therefore, both Gao Wen and Sharapova quickly put their worries aside, smiled brightly, and simply enjoyed this beautiful afternoon.
Surrounded by the sunshine and sea of Miami, the carnival finally took shape, and people couldn't help but relax.
From the mini tennis match to the doubles match in which two players served as captains, to the tennis games and singles matches between players and children, and finally a short question-and-answer session, the air was filled with the smell of sweat and laughter, just like bedding drying in the sun on a summer afternoon.
Refreshing, sunny, with the corners of the mouth slightly raised.
Happy times are always so short. It seems that before you even have time to notice the second hand and hour hand on your watch, forty-five minutes have already passed.
The last second just began, and the next second it was over.
Amidst laughter and sweat, today's event ended with a group photo of Gao Wen and her partner Maria Sharapova with all the children in the audience.
The first commercial activity of two young people who "did not know each other at all" came to a successful conclusion with gratifying results.
Wait, if we include the Christmas charity event that year, this would count as... the second time?
Maybe, behind the scenes, the two of them were at loggerheads with each other, but it must be said that after putting aside their differences, the two of them did cooperate well.
Even experienced people like Soler and Tobias couldn't tell that they just wanted to strangle each other to death.
Of course, it was mainly Sharapova who wanted to strangle Gao Wen.
It is very likely that there will be a third and fourth time in the near future...
