“But I was also very conflicted before.”
"I was struggling with how to tell Elson, but after thinking it over, I felt it was inappropriate, so I decided to just deal with it as it came."
"But it seems that he is still not as fast as the judges. He seems to care about this matter more than I do."
"That's nonsense." Ren Yan curled her lips: "We can't win, and they can't afford to lose."
"The logic behind these two points is all about face."
"But now the other party has chosen to play badly in this situation. If this matter gets out, how can they still save face?"
"So isn't it normal to be concerned about this?"
"But you, kid. Since you knew you were going to lose this game, why did you win so beautifully at the beginning? Didn't you think about the consequences?"
Hearing this, Li Qi blinked in confusion:
"Consequences, what consequences?"
"You mean Elson's mentality exploded?"
"This is force majeure..."
"That's not it." Ren Yan waved her hand unhappily, "It's about how you plan to lose the remaining two games!"
"Now everyone knows your limit. How can you let your opponent win or lose the game cleverly?"
“Have you ever thought about this question?”
After he finished speaking, Li Qi was slightly startled, and the whole person looked a little dazed.
He seems to have never thought about this question...
But even though he realized this now, Li Qi was still not very panicked.
Didn't our own table tennis also let water in the end? You just need to learn the essence of it. It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, they have let water so much, so there must be something.
When Ren Yan saw Li Qi's reaction, he knew that the other party had no idea. He sighed softly and gave a method:
"Wear the protective gear in the next game. At least it looks normal and can limit your performance."
"As long as Elson gets back in shape, it shouldn't be difficult to lose the game."
"Oh, I see." Hearing this, Li Qi nodded and temporarily suppressed his idea of how to let the water go in his heart.
Seeing this, Ding Guoxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
He originally thought that this kid had no intention of losing, but now it seems that this kid still has some idea in his mind, which makes him feel a lot more at ease.
But after feeling relieved, a new question came to Ding Guoxiang's mind:
"Oh, by the way, how did you plan to comfort Elson before?"
Hearing this, Li Qi raised his chin and nodded: "I was going to tell him that he actually ran well, very gracefully, and very fast."
"If this still doesn't cheer him up, I plan to tell him that I will definitely lose this game because this is what my teacher asked me to do."
Hearing this simple answer, Ding Guoxiang instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Damn, this world is fair to a certain extent.
Some people who have outstanding talents in certain areas actually have fatal shortcomings in other areas.
Can you really say this to your opponent?
Doesn't this kid know what is too much?
If you really say this to others, won't they fight you to the death?
Suddenly, Ding Guoxiang felt fortunate...
Fortunately, the British gentleman was fast, otherwise this game would have been a lose-lose situation...
"Li Qi, there are some things that cannot be said. Usually, it is a tacit understanding between both parties. Once it is said, the nature of the matter changes."
"Just like the game we are playing now, letting the opponent win is something you can do but you can never say it."
After a moment, Ding Guoxiang looked at Li Qi and began to teach him patiently. He had to let the other party know some unspoken rules of things and the most basic humility in life.
Otherwise, who knows what will happen next.
Invisible pretense is not advisable~
Ren Yan beside him also silently added:
"Also, you can't do something that would destroy someone's heart~"
"Yes!" Ding Guoxiang nodded: "We must not kill people and destroy their hearts."
"This is really against human ethics!"
After that, Ren Yan and the other person began to patiently educate Li Qi, listening to Li Qi's enlightenment.
Killing people and destroying their hearts?
He had never thought about this kind of thing...
Do my teacher and the director have any misunderstandings about me?
......
While Ren Yan and Ding Guoxiang were "enlightening" Li Qi, the British gentleman had already pulled Elson and a group of European high school students to start preaching.
The core logic is the spirit of competition, and you cannot give up.
And expressed great disappointment with Elson's performance in the first game.
In his words:
"Do you still have any backbone for the French people?!"
"You were defeated by the opponent in just a small game. Do you think you are worthy of your fellow Frenchmen by doing this?"
"Are you worthy of the French martyrs?"
"You must cheer up, keep up the good work, and show the French side of things to the people of the world!"
"Think about your glorious history, think about those ancestors who fought hard, have you really inherited their spirit?"
The British gentleman's speech was powerful and he felt very good about it.
Using the national background to educate students is the teaching experience he summed up.
However, this rhetoric did not have a significant effect when applied to Elson.
After hearing these powerful words, Elson was indeed cheered up for a moment, and then he followed the words of the British gentleman to search for information about his ancestors.
