Chapter 2 Covenant Ball

Because the idol got what he wanted, Pansiqi slept comfortably that night, and when he woke up in the morning, it was almost eight o'clock. After getting up and washing up in a hurry, he drove his second-hand BYD and joined the army of office workers.

Pansiqi has just turned thirty this year, and he is in the year of his establishment. The ancients said that when they are thirty, they should have little achievements no matter what they do. However, this does not apply to Pansiqi. After graduating, he was admitted to a public institution, although it was an iron rice bowl, but it belonged to the Qingshui Yamen, and there was no oil and water at all. Relying on that dead salary every month, although you can't starve to death, it is absolutely impossible to live a nourishing life.

In addition, because the unit pays great attention to seniority, it is quite difficult to get promoted in the post. There are still a few old employees in their department who are eyeing the position of section chief, so he basically has no delusions about this. The only thing to be thankful for is that his parents, as natives of the capital, left him a two-bedroom wife with a decent location. The house belonged to his father's unit and was almost as old as him. His parents left the house to him to marry his daughter-in-law, and after the old couple retired, they rented a yard in the suburbs, planted flowers and vegetables, and lived for a long time.

Of course, if you want to marry a daughter-in-law on this old house, it is not so easy. After all, for today's girls, getting married and having a house is the basic condition, and other material foundations are also indispensable. With Pansiqi's pitiful salary, let alone supporting his wife and children, even he will be enough. In addition, Pan Xiqi is an otaku, and he usually doesn't like to be active outside, so he can't know a few people, and he is still a loner until now.

However, this does not mean that he does not go out at all, and twice a week he dates with friends about tennis is a project that he can't beat. As a tennis fan for more than ten years, he took tennis classes when he was in college, and since then he has picked up a tennis racket and insisted on playing with friends and colleagues. Of course, as a hobby, he is reluctant to hire a professional coach, just playing with his friends, although he is quite proficient in tennis, but that level is definitely not worth mentioning in the eyes of experts, and even amateur masters are far from being counted.

It's Tuesday, and it's time to date a ball with friends again. Sure enough, at two o'clock in the afternoon, he received a call from a friend.

"Hey, Panzi, I'm Da Wei, six o'clock in the afternoon, old place, no problem, right?"

"You know I'm a bachelor, what problems can I have, see you at the old place." Pansic happily made an appointment with his friend. Last night's thrilling win by his idol made him itch his hands a little too, and he was ready to sweat it out on the tennis court today.

After finishing the work on his hand, when I looked at the time, it was already half past five. Pansic hurriedly turned off his computer and left the unit to drive to the court. The place where he and his friends play weekly is called the Guangcai Tennis Center, which is located in the South Third Ring Road, just a fifteen-minute drive from the unit. The reason why this course was chosen was because it was close; Second, there are many venues, good conditions, and easy to make an appointment; The third and most important thing is that the price is moderate, and it is a cost-effective venue. As a result, it became a permanent stronghold for Panci and his friends.

In addition, the court is quite famous in the Chinese tennis world, because it is the venue where the China Open tennis tournament was held before the Beijing Olympics. The previous sessions of the China Open were held here, and Pan Xiqi, who was still a college student at the time, witnessed the performances of several Chinese Jinhua vs. foreign masters such as Sister Na and Shuai Shuai. After the Games, with the opening of the Olympic Tennis Centre, which is larger and more state-of-the-art, it has become a place for amateur tennis enthusiasts to practice instead of hosting major tournaments. It can be said that Pansiqi also has special feelings for this venue.

It's already 5:50 when I get to the stadium, and if I am late, I guess I will have to suffer another big Wei. Panci quickly changed into tennis clothes and tennis shoes in the locker room, and ran to the court with his newly purchased racket.

Sure enough, Da Wei was waiting on the court early and was trotting to do warm-up exercises. Seeing Pansic running in embarrassment, he laughed and shouted, "Every time it burns his ass, he doesn't know how to come early like me." ”

"Hey, it's not that the work is not done, so it's not good to leave early." Pansiqi gasped in reply.

"Come on, just your broken unit, there is still a job that needs to be completed in a hurry, I don't believe it if you kill it. I guess it's too late for you kid to play the game. ”

"If you don't believe it, forget it, it's really alive." Pansiqi ignored him and began to trot around the field for warm-up exercises.

Ten minutes later, after the two of them finished stretching, squatting and other preparatory activities, they began to practice. As golfers for many years, they have formed a set of fixed practice habits. In the first hour, the two of them pulled the ball to point to point, which was regarded as feeding each other's balls. The last hour is a formal scoring match, with the two sides deciding the winner. Of course, there is no referee in this game, let alone a caddy, and it is completely up to you to keep the score and pick up the ball.

Pansic took out the Bagbelis tennis racket he had just bought from his bag and stroked the surface and handle with his hand, as if admiring a work of art. This tennis racket can be expensive, the original product costs more than 1,000 yuan, which is quite not cheap for Pansiqi. He also struggled for a long time before he made up his mind to buy one, he just received it yesterday, and he couldn't wait to bring it today to try the feel.

Da Wei's eyes were sharp, and Pan Xiqi found out as soon as he took out the brand. "Yo, you're finally here! I really didn't expect you, an iron rooster, to be willing to bleed profusely. It just so happens that we are going to practice today, and if it is good, I will buy one too. ”

"Okay, you can use all your strength to feed today, so that you can test the color of this racket." Pansy teased.

"Hmph, you kid wait, look uncle, I won't beat you all over the ground looking for teeth!"

Then, the two stopped laughing and began to practice officially.

First Da Wei serves. For amateurs at their level, the top-throw serve is a bit too difficult for them, first, the success rate of the serve is too low, and they either go to the net or go out of bounds. Second, even if it is sent in occasionally, the speed rotation is almost no threat. Therefore, the two of them have always used the underhand serve, commonly known as bouncing the ball. Although the speed is pitiful, it can basically enter the area, which is better than a direct mistake.

As usual, Da Wei tossed the ball in front of him, shook the racket, and racked the tennis ball out. After all, they are practicing now, and they don't pursue the power of the serve, as long as they ensure that the ball can enter the service area, and the two sides can pull up.

Pansic leaned forward, holding the racket with both hands, in his usual hair extension pose. Suddenly, as Da Wei began to serve, he noticed something unusual. Time seemed to slow down after Da Wei tossed the ball, and it took a long time for the ball to touch Da Wei's racket, and then floated towards his side of the court at an unbearable speed. At the same time, at the moment when Da Wei's racket touched the ball, he seemed to know the landing point and speed of the ball, everything was like a super high-speed camera in his head was capturing every move of the tennis ball.

After a long time, Pansiqi got a little impatient, and the ball finally landed on his side, and the landing point was exactly the same as what he had judged in his head. At this time, he had been waiting for the ball to hit the ground for a long time, and a forehand was pumped back into the past, in the same way and with the strength he was familiar with.

With a "whoosh", Da Wei was startled by the incoming ball on the opposite side. Although he knew the ball was coming towards him, it was so fast that all he saw was a phantom. With such a ball speed, even ten of them can't catch it. Sure enough, without any reaction from Da Wei, the tennis ball landed and flew past Da Wei without any slowdown.

Let's take a look at what happened from the perspective of Da Wei. Da Wei served, and secretly increased his strength, wanting to surprise Pan Xiqi. But as soon as the ball reached the opponent's court, no, it should have been not long after leaving his racket, Pansic had already moved his feet and came to the place where the ball landed. Then he hit a forehand and sent the ball back. No, it blew the ball back!

Da Wei's racket was still in the serving position, his eyes were completely dull, he couldn't understand what had just happened, and he felt that something strange was happening.

"Da Wei, what are you doing, why don't you pick up the ball I returned, why are you standing there stupidly?" Pansy shouted at the other side.

Da Wei seemed to be awakened by the shouting and shook his head, feeling that he might be hallucinating. "You didn't think anything was wrong with that ball just now?"

"Something is wrong with your sister, I know that you don't catch the ball, do you have an opinion on me?" Pansizzy scolded.

"Oh, that might be dazzling." Da Wei grunted, ready to serve the second ball.

"Whoosh", Panxiqi's second return smashed at Da Wei's feet like a bomb, and Da Wei still didn't react. This time, Da Wei finally realized what had happened. He pointed at Pansiqi with a frightened face: "You, you, am I the hell?" Was it your return just now? ”

"It's not that who else can I be, just you fool, if you don't catch two balls in a row, can you still play?"

"Who do you call stupid? If someone in this stadium can catch it, I'll immediately run naked on the street! Do you know what ball you brought back to me? Is that still tennis? It's just a shot at me! I don't think that's the case with cows, right? ”

"What the hell are you talking about? Why can't I understand it? Didn't I just return the ball the way we practiced before? I'm surprised, you tell me if you didn't take it on purpose. Pansic was also a little angry.

"Okay, okay, if you don't admit it, I'll record it for you with my phone."

Da Wei turned on the mobile phone video, found the right angle, and placed it on the bench on the sidelines.

"Come on, I'll serve, and you can get another one back like you did just now."

Da Wei made his third serve, and likewise, Pansiqi's return blew past his feet for the third time without any suspense.

Da Wei showed Pan Xiqi the video recorded by his mobile phone just now with a face full of anger, and after watching it, Pan Xiqi held his mobile phone and shouted: "Damn, who threw the bomb!" ”
