Chapter 1: Homesickness

The U.S. Open is over, and Shiraishi defeated Chen Shangwu to win the championship. Li Xiao defeated Damon and completed his third title defense.

The two of them are like the rising sun and the scorching sun. One has just begun his career, while the other has already completed the writing of his own legend. That's right, Li Xiao was the first Chinese to ascend to the legendary throne.

There is also an ATP ranking in this world, and Li Xiao has been NO.1 for five consecutive years. Since his debut, he has led Chinese tennis players to leave their mark on the world. If it is said that in the past few years, Long Yi, who has raised the level of Chinese tennis, is Liu Bang, then he is Han Xin, and he is an invincible sword in Long Yi's hands.

This battle widened the gap between him and the second place. People can't help but sigh, how come Pete, Nanjiro and Li Xiao were not born in the same era, and that kind of tennis world is fascinating to think about.

If this US Open is Li Xiao's battle for the crown, then this time is the battle for Baishi's championship. Compared with Li Xiao, Baishi is still immature, but he has also shown his strength in front of the world.

When Glass handed the trophy to Shiraishi, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

The old man smiled and said to Bai Shi: "You are great, when I was your age, I was still learning how to make tennis balls fall accurately on the opponent's court." After sighing, the old man said a little sternly: "However, young people, you have to remember that the road to your dreams is never smooth sailing. Go, the doors of this world have been opened for you"

Shiraishi thanked him, and although he didn't know if there was any other purpose for the old man's words, he still felt a trace of warmth.

"Yes, the road to pursuing your dreams is full of thorns. But dreams are dreams, and only what can't be reached is a dream."

At this moment, he had some realization. He is not an ignorant junior high school student, and like Long Ya, he knows that this world also has a dark side. Playing tennis, maybe it will become involuntary in the future, and only when you are strong enough can others get out of the way to your dreams

Night.

At a banquet organized by the World Network for the two champions, Shiraishi stood alone by the window, staring at the night sky.

"Now I have just broken through, and some things have not yet had time to be integrated." Shiraishi thought to himself, "Moreover, no matter what era it is, progress requires competition, and where is my opponent?" ”

His mind opened, and he was thinking about his future path. If you want to find an opponent, there are actually a lot of them. In the same era as himself, there are Sanada, Yukimura, and Tezuka, three people who have gone out of their own way, and Jibe, Nioh, and Fuji are also talented, and the three of them are also walking in their own direction and have become people with a certain climate.

As for the stronger, there are the guys in the U-17. For the phoenix and the ghosts, Shiraishi only now realizes how funny it is that he was on the same level as them. Now that I think about it, those guys are still full of fog and bottomless.

Outside, there are two strong teams, the Chinese team and the United States, and there are naturally many strongmen among the players. As for the most feared of all, it is still Europe, which is an abyss, a place where there will be no bones left when you sink into it.

At this time, a figure slowly walked towards Shiraishi.

"Hey!"

Thinking about things, Shiraishi's vigilance also became a little smaller, and he didn't even notice the people around him. It wasn't until the man shouted dissatisfiedly that Shiraishi reacted.

"It's you, how about it, it's okay." Shiraishi is facing the humane.

This figure gradually appeared, it was Chen Shangwu who was fighting against Baishi in the final today. Originally, his aura was cut off by Shiraishi's ability, which made Shiraishi worry for a while. After all, he caused it, and if it had any impact on Chen's tennis, Shiraishi would feel guilty in his heart. So after hearing his answer, Shiraishi breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not a big deal, I just have to rest for a few days, and my strength doesn't matter." Chen said.

"That's great." Shiraishi laughed.

"By the way, I see that there are some problems with your racket during the game, how about it, should you consider changing it?" Chen said suddenly.

"Oh?" Bai Shi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What, can you get a good one?" ”

"Ha, have you forgotten what I do at home? There are too many high-quality things like rackets. Chen said, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "How about it, if you want it, I'll give you a ninety-fifty discount!" ”

"Eh" Bai Shi was speechless, his eyes looked at him a little strange, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "The face of the young owner is worth a ninety-five fold, how do you feel that your father is too good to you." ”

Seeing Bai Shi's strange expression, Chen also thought of what he was thinking, so he straightened his face and said: "This is not an ordinary beat, the same style, there will not be more than ten in the world." The price is also very fair, as long as you have a general bonus, very cheap"

"Get out!"

Bai Shi was even more speechless to him, asking for half of his own bonus, and the fool went back to buy it.

"Funny, how can I ask for your money! Of course," Chen said, and suddenly asked again, "How about only a quarter?" ”

Shiraishi shook his head and stared at him as if to say, 'Do I look like a fool?' ’

"Uh, Shiraishi-kun, do you really have a sense of humor?" Chen complained that he really couldn't communicate with Baishi.

Shiraishi: ""

"Forget it, don't talk about this, you can come to China to play when you have time, and I will take you to visit the scenery of our China." Chen stretched out his hand in front of Bai Shi, and his eyes became serious.

"Thank you very much." Shiraishi said, taking his hand. For that place, I will definitely go back.

The so-called don't fight and don't know each other, the two are also very close to each other, and this friendship can be regarded as established. This is the accumulation of connections, and for the Chen family, Baishi is a person worth investing in. For Bai Shi, the Chen family's connections are the help of his rise from an unknown junior. The two of them take what they need, which is just right.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the dinner ended, and Shiraishi rested early.

Proton has already bought him a ticket back to China, which is the flight at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. In just one day, he was able to go home, thinking about his friends and relatives back home, and he slept soundly that night

On the plane back to China, Bai Shi looked at the sealed racket next to him and sighed with some emotion. This was given to him by Chen, and with the permission of his father Chen Zhen, a racket of real high value. In Chen's words, the racket is worth a quarter of his prize money.

The things on Bai Shi's body are naturally more than these, but some other things have been consigned, only this thing is related to Chen Tong guò, and it has not been consigned.

Because of this, the eyes of the people around him looked at Shiraishi a little strangely.

Some people also recognize Shiraishi, after all, the biggest thing in New York for a while has been the US Open. As one of the US Open champions, Shiraishi is known to him.

Immediately, those people asked to take a photo with Shiraishi or something, and Shiraishi had to excuse himself from being on the plane, which was not good to dispel everyone's thoughts. These fans are also very rational and do not embarrass Shiraishi.

Bai Shixin, who was relieved, also calmed down, and looked at the layers of clouds and mist outside, and his mood suddenly became nervous.

"Is this what people say, homesickness?"

The farther away from home, the more you can feel the meaning of those verses of the ancients. Although there is no emotion of "leaving home as a young man and returning home", Bai Shi still feels a lot of emotion in his heart, no matter how good it is outside, it can't compare to the faint warmth at home.

And after drifting abroad for a long time, the more you learn about those negative things, the more you will feel the preciousness of your former life. Shiraishi is also a mortal, it is impossible to keep his heart tense all the time, and his heart will be tired and tired.

"Ahh

Shiraishi yawned, and somehow, a wave of tiredness welled up in his heart. He closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap. But vaguely, he heard what seemed to be someone talking.

"Huh?" Shiraishi, who had already closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, and his ears moved.

"You read that right? Is it really him? A steady voice rang out.

"How could it be wrong, it was reported on TV and in the newspapers yesterday, and there was a photo of him with Chairman Glass." The voice was a little young, and the person speaking should be between twenty-five and thirty years old.

"That's right," the man's voice dragged on a little long, as if he was thinking about something.

"Sir, really?" The other suddenly raised his voice.

"That's right, since it's for hype, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't use such an existing champion." The gentleman's tone was leisurely, as if he had a bamboo in his chest.

The words of the two were heard word by word by Shiraishi, after all, with Shiraishi's ear power, this is not a difficult matter.

"These two? Hey, interesting"

As if thinking of something, Shiraishi sneered
