Chapter 1308 Strong Backing

Rustle, rustle.

The trivial sounds of the breeze blowing through the plane trees are gently surging, the sound of the engine of the small motorcycle passing through the alley breaks the tranquility, the aroma of freshly baked bread wafts from the corners of the street, and the smell of baking immediately makes the breath of life overflow.

Not far away, you can see a white-haired lady holding a baguette passing by, standing at the intersection waiting for the green light, lighting a cigarette elegantly, as if her catwalk is just around the corner. The traces of time have evolved into a kind of charm in those fine lines.

Paris always has a unique temperament.

Gao Wen and Gao Hongli remained silent, but the atmosphere was not awkward.

The joy and happiness from the fans still filled the air, the aura between the two people became softer, and the same silence became comfortable.

In silence, the two men walked forward. Gao Hongli looked up and saw that they were not far from their residence. If he didn't speak up, he might not have another chance.

Think about it.

"Xiao Wu, you did a great job."

Gao Hongli broke the silence, but his words seemed incoherent.

He realized it himself and then added.

"I just want to say that you have done a great job, very, very well. There is no need to care about other people's opinions and views, nor do you need to care about those records and history."

“You just have to keep being yourself, that’s enough.”

The words were somewhat plain, and although they were not very clear, Gawain still understood them.

Obviously, Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun should be worried about me.

Subconsciously, Gao Wen wanted to say that he was fine, it didn't matter to him, and he didn't care.

But when the words came to his lips, he paused.

Gawain realized that if this was not his second chance, if his mental age was the same as his physical age, would he be able to keep a normal heart? In fact, even though this was Gawain's second life, everything he was experiencing was still brand new and strange at the same time.

Having won the US Open and Australian Open in a row, does Gao want to complete a hat trick and continue to top the French Open? Yes.

Of course he wanted to.

He would not pretend to be sincere and say that he had never thought about reaching the top of 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 gurgling and boiling magma, continues to rampage in his blood vessels.

There is motivation, and there is also pressure.

So far, he has never experienced failure in the Grand Slam, and he is facing a practical problem in front of him, which is unfamiliar to him. From the clay court events in the past few weeks, it can be seen:

I might lose.

This situation is different from any previous one. For a newcomer who has not been in the professional tennis world for less than a year, even if Gao Wen has a rock-hard determination and perseverance, he must face the mountain in front of him, adjust his mentality, and find the way to continue climbing the dangerous peak.

All this time, Gawain never showed it, but not saying it didn't mean there wasn't a problem, he just didn't want them to worry.

But at this time.

Looking at Gao Hongli, the little boy's face just now appeared in his mind, and he suddenly realized:

I am not fighting alone; at the same time, I am not fighting with a dream on my shoulders.

Then, the words that were about to come to his lips paused for a moment, and then changed.

"What if I lose in the first round?"

This is also a possibility. It is not that Gao Wen lacks confidence, but that he remains rational and objective, and puts himself in the right position with the mentality of starting over.

Faced with such a question, Gao Hongli did not hesitate at all and blurted out, "That means there are more challenges waiting in the future."

His eyes revealed a natural determination, "Xiao Wu, clay court is full of unknowns. You have experienced this the most in the past few months. You have been exploring and exploring. This also proves that tennis is not that simple, and it is not that easy to become a top player."

"Those ignorant and weak people will say, why do we need clay courts? Can't we cancel the clay court season? But they obviously don't realize the true charm of tennis. They live in their own world and have lost the patience and perseverance to explore endless possibilities. I really feel sorry for them."

"So, there is no need to worry about the results. Clay requires patience and tenacity. We all know that this is only the first season. There will be a second and third season, and many more."

"If I get eliminated in the first round, it means that there are still many challenges on clay courts. It also proves that there are still many peaks to climb in tennis."

“I think this should be considered a good thing.”

After a while, Gao Hongli's speech became completely smooth, with no trace of the hesitation and doubt just now.

It can be seen that this is Gao Hongli's true thought.

Gao Wen raised his chin slightly and looked at his father again, "It doesn't matter if there is no championship?"

Gao Hongli looked at Gao Wen deeply, his face full of sincerity, and spoke earnestly.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Of course it doesn't matter."

"The championship is very important. Players stand on the field to fight for victory and for the championship. They go all out and leave no regrets."

“But in the end, after giving it your all, you should accept the result calmly no matter what it is. Not winning the championship does not mean failure. You should pick yourself up, keep moving forward and keep working towards the next goal.”

"In competitive sports, people always only see the glory of the champion, but forget that without the second and third place, and without other participants, the champion's halo will no longer exist. Those miracles, those glories, those lights belong to the champion, but also 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 Gao Hongli paused as he spoke. He finally realized that Gao Wen was joking.

How could Gao Wen not understand these principles? It is precisely because of this that Gao Wen's playing style is different from others. He refuses to leave regrets on the field, but also refuses to carry over the emotions of winning and losing into his life.

Gao Hongli looked at Gao Wen with a helpless smile in his eyes. He shook his head gently and immediately realized: Gao Wen was using this method to show that he was fine and there was no need to worry.

"Xiao Wu, we all know that you are very smart and independent. We don't need to worry about you. You have persevered on your own over the years."

"But, Xiao Wu, 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 a little vulnerable sometimes, and it's okay to share the burden and pressure sometimes. No matter what time, your mother and I are standing by your side. Ignore those voices and noise, just trust us, we are always on your side."

It's said, it's said finally.

Gao Hongli thought it would be difficult as this was not his usual style. He thought about it over and over again in his mind for a long time but couldn't find a way out.

But in fact, after he opened his mouth, everything seemed to fall into place, and even he himself was very surprised.

only.

After saying it, he felt a little restrained. This kind of 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.

What to do when you feel awkward? I am most afraid of the air suddenly becoming silent.
