Chapter 1675: Covering one’s ears and stealing the bell
...It's both ridiculous and funny.
In fact, Plan really "wanted" to be angry, the kind of angry out of shame; but before the anger could come out, the corners of his mouth had already turned up.
After calming down and looking at the second photo again, Plan became more and more aware of his own stupidity.
Judging from the angle and position, Gao Wen should have been standing diagonally behind her, and he could see her every move, but she was still struggling.
It's like an ant struggling in the palm of a giant.
That sense of picture!
I curled up in the aisle in front of the seats, covered my cheeks and laughed, my shoulders shaking slightly uncontrollably. The more I thought about it, the funnier it became.
A kind and gentle voice came to my ear, "Miss, are you okay?"
Plan quickly raised her head and saw the lady sitting next to her with a concerned look on her face. She took out a handkerchief and handed it to her. Only then did she realize that to outsiders she looked like she was crying bitterly. People who didn't know her would think she had just received a breakup notice from her boyfriend.
Who would have thought that it was actually a prank? Pulan waved his hands repeatedly, "It's okay, I, I'm fine, everything is fine."
Plan took a deep breath and finally came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and seemed to have made a decision. He then "crawled" back to his seat and remained seated.
She could still sense the worry of the lady next to her from the corner of her eye. She looked to be in her sixties, with silver hair and warm eyes. Her gentle gaze seemed as if she was concerned about her granddaughter, but she did not ask rashly. Instead, she politely kept a distance and smiled in response.
Think about it.
Pulan also smiled and lowered his voice, "Just now, a friend played a prank on me."
Then, Plan showed the two pictures to the lady and explained to her ear what "covering one's ears to steal the bell" meant.
The lady was slightly stunned, and a smile slowly crept up to the corners of her eyes. "So, were you smiling just now?"
Plan was a little embarrassed, but still nodded.
The lady's eyes curved into two crescents, "It's great to be young."
Although the lady stopped there and didn't say much, Plan was able to discern the deep meaning in her simple words, and her cheeks felt slightly hot.
Fortunately, the lady did not take any further action and turned to look at the court, which eased Plan's shyness.
The game continues.
Federer and Simon have returned to the court, the brief commotion at the scene has subsided, and all attention is focused on the court.
After all, Gawain is not the protagonist, the game is.
However, Plan was somewhat absent-minded and could not help looking back again and again, trying to find Gawain's trace.
Clearly, this was not her plan.
In fact, Pulan had also thought about how she should react if Gawain discovered her whereabouts; or, if she was going to show up, how should she appear; or, if she might be discovered, but in what specific situation, how should she respond? All kinds of things...
but!
It's not easy.
Even the plan to come to Wimbledon to watch the game was sudden. After the Roland Garros semi-final, she had a sudden idea and made a temporary decision. In just a few weeks, everything was carried out in a hurry. As for what happened afterwards, Plan had no idea what happened.
And then... nothing happened...
I was discovered unexpectedly without any warning.
Plan felt a little regretful. He should not have come to watch the game if he had known earlier.
Originally, Plan was thinking of coming to watch this match to see what Federer's grass court game style was like and whether it would be different to watch the game live. Moreover, the next match, no matter who Gawain's opponent was, would definitely be a tough battle, so today was a kind of advance psychological preparation.
result!
So, what should I do now?
Pulan looked back frequently, but she still couldn't find Gao Wen. Just when her mind was full of question marks, the news came again.
"surprise!"
Pulan was full of black lines, "You shouldn't have taken my lines."
"Haha, I can sense your resentment just from the words. What, are you planning to make a special appearance as a surprise? How about I pretend I didn't notice?"
"…That's not the case. But it still feels a bit empty to be discovered like this. I was thinking of giving you a surprise."
"This is already a surprise. Thank you for coming to watch me play."
Words are cold, plain and simple.
But Plan could feel the warmth in Gawain's words. A faint joy and happiness quietly permeated the air, and her mood couldn't help but rise.
Although she never regretted coming to Wimbledon to watch the match, now she could feel that her bond with Gawain had become even stronger.
"Congratulations. It was a great game today and I'm glad I was able to witness it."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"You just said that."
"Just now, you thought I was watching the live broadcast on TV; now is now, I want to tell you that I enjoy every minute of the game."
"Including the match point moment in the fourth set?"
"Well……"
"Hahaha."
"Give me a little more time. I'm still not used to watching the game live. The atmosphere and the feeling, even without the sound, makes me feel like my heart is going to explode. Now I finally understand why those coaches have heart diseases. The pressure of watching the game up close is indescribable."
"Imagine standing on the court with me and fighting side by side. It should feel better. There is no time to be nervous."
"Gawain, you're not helping at all, okay?"
"Hahaha!"
Through the phone screen, Plan could feel Gao Wen's smiling face, and then the message came again.
“So, for the next game, do you want me to reserve a seat for you in the player box?
Such an ordinary sentence made Plan's heart suddenly contract and he couldn't breathe.
Boom! Boom boom boom! The players on Court No. 1 were cheering and shouting. It seemed like a wonderful round had taken place on the court, but Plan's attention was not on the court at all.
Being in the players' box would not only mean watching the game with Gao Wen's parents, coach and team, but also experiencing the excitement of the Grand Slam semi-finals together.
And, more importantly, it also means that she will be completely exposed under the spotlight, and her life may also undergo earth-shaking changes; at the same time, reporters may also focus on Gao Wen's off-court life, and those gossips will largely steal the spotlight from Gao Wen's career.
It was only at this point that Plan realized again how much he loved Gawain.
She liked to see Gawain fighting on the court, she liked to see Gawain devote himself wholeheartedly to what he loved and sweat, she liked to see Gawain constantly challenging himself and his limits, and she also believed that was the truest side of Gawain.
At least, not now.
Wimbledon is still going on. Plann doesn't want Gawain to be distracted, nor does he want any off-court gossip to steal Gawain's limelight. He also doesn't want the media and paparazzi to get in the way.
Maybe, they should wait a little longer.
His fingertips were slightly slippery, and the thoughts in his mind were changing rapidly, but in the end, Plan took a deep breath and regained his determination.
