Chapter 219: Heart of a Champion

Shasha.

rustle.

A black four-door sedan slowly stopped on the street before turning into the main entrance of the campus. The back door opened and Tobias appeared in sight.

Gawain walked quickly forward, just in time to see Tobias close the car door, turn around and reveal a faint smile, and walk towards him happily.

"Mr. Tobias..."

"John will do."

"...John, are you sure this is okay? Don't we need to find a place to sit down?"

"No problem at all. Let's just take a walk around campus and chat. To be honest, I kind of miss my college days."

The conversation was a bit polite, but one could still clearly feel that Tobias was cooperating with Gawain, conveying a sense of importance from the inside out.

Gawain looked at Tobias with some surprise. Although he didn't say anything, his doubts were obvious. He obviously didn't believe that Tobias would miss college life.

Tobias seemed to be able to read Gawain's suspicion and chuckled.

"At that time, I still believed that I could win a Grand Slam championship, and I still believed that one game and one championship could completely change my life."

"When we grow up, we all know that things are not that simple, but we still can't help but miss the purity and simplicity of that time. We can never go back."

Gawain raised his eyebrows slightly, not believing his ears, because in the two encounters so far, Tobias was completely different from this type.

Tobias seemed to understand Gawain's suspicion again. He put his hands behind his back and pretended to hold his head high and chest puffed out.

"From your reaction, my acting is pretty good and I succeeded in impressing you."

True or false, false or true, is Tobias acting? Or is he speaking from the bottom of his heart? It is really hard to tell what is going on, but after Tobias's "self-deprecation", the truth or falsehood is no longer important, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes relaxed.

Gao Wen also smiled and said, "I am more curious, am I really worth it?"

“Of course.” Tobias answered with certainty. “You might ask, what happened between the first and second meeting? Actually, you already have the answer.”

“Finals happened.”

Tobias asked and answered his own questions, because he knew Gawain's eloquence and ability, and instead of waiting for Gawain to strike, it would be better for him to take the initiative in the conversation.

Gawain noticed Tobias's choice of words, and his thoughts followed Tobias's expectations and fell on the key words, "Final? Shouldn't it be the championship?"

Tobias was very satisfied with the result he had created. "Please forgive my arrogance, but the NCAA National Championship really has no weight. If it was a Masters or Grand Slam championship, that would be another story. Of course, your agent would have to wait in line to visit you at this moment."

"Haha." Gawain was amused by the way Tobias spoke, and the atmosphere became relaxed.

Tobias's speech continued.

"What I really admire is the wisdom and strength you showed on the final stage, as well as your courage and boldness at the critical moment. In my opinion, it is because of your competitive temperament that you won the championship. But even if there is no championship trophy, I believe that I don't have to wait too long for the championship."

Then, Tobias stopped walking.

Because it was too sudden, Gawain was not prepared for it. He took two steps forward before realizing that Tobias was behind him. He also stopped and turned around.

Tobias did not step forward, but raised his chin slightly and looked into Gawain's eyes, and then slightly distanced himself to shorten the height difference, which also made it easier for Tobias to keep his eyes "parallel". The two stood on the campus avenue, and the golden sunlight sprinkled down, making it a little hot.

Then, Tobias spoke again, solemnly.

"If I say, I believe you can win a Grand Slam, do you believe me?"

This...? "Did you say this when you signed every tennis player?" Gao Wen burst out laughing and asked back.

But I have to admit that even though I knew it was just flattery, my mood still soared and the magic of language was fully demonstrated.

Tobias was not flustered when being criticized, "The point should be at this moment, I am sincere."

Tobias's gaze was always directed towards Gawain, frankly and directly, using his eyes to convey the truth of his words. The point was not how many people he had said this to, but that he believed it wholeheartedly when he said it at this moment.

"I believe you can win the Grand Slam, don't you?" Tobias repeated again.

Before Gao Wen could answer, a voice suddenly came from the side of the road, "Hey, champion!"

Turning around, you can see students coming and going, waving enthusiastically to Gao Wen. Obviously, they also recognized the new American champion.

Gawain returned the greeting with a friendly wave before retracting his gaze, putting aside his joking mood, and carefully examining Tobias before nodding his head heavily.

"I believe it."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It was a simple answer, but I could clearly feel the force of my heart hitting my chest, heavy and solid. My lofty passion was ignited, and I couldn't wait to step onto the field and face the battle.

Gao Wen believes that he can win the Grand Slam championship, sincerely.

As Gawain spoke, a smile appeared in Tobias' eyes. He knew that he was not wrong. Gawain had the heart of a champion.

This is slightly different from Dimitrov.

Dimitrov, wrapped in the halo of "Little Federer", is confident and proud, and the light radiating from the inside out is as dazzling as Apollo.

As for Gawain, he was determined and focused. All the restrained light in his eyes was deposited deep in his eyes, transforming into a belief, a belief in victory, in the championship, and in fighting.

Tobias liked the look in Gawain's eyes.

So Tobias started walking again, walking side by side with Gawain again, and further expressed his thoughts.

"In addition, I believe you can tap into endless commercial value."

"We all know that Li Na is the best female tennis player in China. She has won two Grand Slams and is currently ranked second in the world. Everything is making history. But we also know that there is still a blank in the field of male tennis players in China. This is a huge market waiting to be tapped."

"Just like Yao Ming's entry into the NBA 10 years ago, the potential of China's basketball market is still releasing energy continuously until now."

“I believe the same is true for the tennis market.”

As he spoke, Tobias looked Gawain up and down, breaking the serious atmosphere and making a little joke.

"You should be able to charm countless women, maybe more."

More than that...? Gawain's head was full of question marks, but seeing Tobias's face full of anticipation, he couldn't help but laugh, and raised the tail end of his voice slightly to express his confusion.

"Thank you for the compliment?"
