Chapter 219: Night Talk by the Riverside

In late summer, the climate in New York is exceptionally cool. The breeze blowing from the vast Atlantic Ocean, with a salty smell of the sea, caresses the face of every passerby, so that the last touch of summer heat is also eliminated.

If New York in the day looks like a vigorous young man, then at night, New York is transformed into a quiet woman, showing her grace to the fullest. Looking at the swaying shadow of the dim street lamp reflected on the clear river, Pan Xiqi took a deep breath and said happily: "Don't say it, the air in the United States is sweeter than the domestic one!" ”

As he spoke, Pansizi's entire attention was now focused on the young woman beside him, who was leaning against the railing of the riverbank. Looking at the beautiful curves of the other party's body that were revealed due to the slight leaning of his body, Pan Xiqi swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.

If the girl had noticed the way Pansiqi looked at her, she would have thought that Pansiqi was thinking of her. However, she didn't care about this, and at the moment her clear eyes were attracted by a flock of wild ducks playing on the river.

She didn't respond to Pansichie's teasing, just silently stared at the ducks. This cold reaction made Pansiqi feel a little embarrassed for a while, but when he saw the sadness in the woman's eyes, he couldn't bear to say anything more.

The two were silent, and at the same time acted as silent spectators on the shore. Except for the occasional splash of ducks and the chirping of cicadas in the trees, there seems to be no other sound in the world. Although neither of them spoke, for some reason, both men and women felt that this was their most relaxed moment.

"You say, if only we could be as carefree as these mallards, and don't care about other people's eyes!" Suddenly, the woman's words shattered the silence.

It didn't seem to expect such an emotion from the other party, and Pan Xiqi didn't know what to reply for a while. However, he clearly felt that the slightly resentful feeling of the girl next to him made his heart feel as if he had been hit by something, and he began to hurt faintly.

Resisting the urge to take her into his arms, Pan Xiqi pretended to be free and easy to explain: "The reason why people are human beings naturally have incomparable troubles that animals cannot match. In the same way, the happiness you get is something that these little creatures can't experience. ”

"Happy, I haven't felt happy in a long time. If I had known that tennis was so difficult, I probably wouldn't have continued to dream those silly dreams. Pan Xiqi's relief didn't help, and the starlight in Wang Yan's eyes dimmed a little.

"You've put too much pressure on yourself, and in my opinion, you've worked hard enough." Pansic felt like he had never felt so sorry for someone as he did now.

"It's just hard enough, but I want more than that, I want to be good enough! However, I am clearly not now! Wang Yan's voice trembled slightly, obviously Pan Xiqi's words touched the scars in her heart.

"You know what? When I first saw tennis, I fell hopelessly in love with it and decided to make it my life's work. At the time, I was just a six-year-old girl. I used to naively think that as long as I worked hard enough, as long as I was willing to sweat more than others, I would definitely achieve what I wanted. But now, I know that these are just foolish dreams. The sadness in Wang Yan's eyes became stronger and stronger.

"When you say to the whole country that you're going to win, do you know what I'm thinking?" Wang Yan suddenly turned to Pan Xiqi and asked.

"Do you think I'm bragging, as they do? I also blamed me for being too reckless at the time, and I said it when I had a brain fever. Pan Xiqi scratched her head embarrassedly, a little worried that Wang Yan also regarded herself as a liar who likes to talk big.

"No, you're wrong! When I heard you say that, I knew you must be serious! Wang Yan suddenly raised her voice and took a step closer to Pan Xiqi.

Looking at Pan Xiqi's surprised expression, Wang Chang realized that she was a little out of shape. A flush quickly welled up on her cheeks, and she hurriedly looked away, not daring to look Panci in the eyes.

"Really? Do you really believe me? It's great, and I'd be disappointed if you thought of me as much as they did. Pan Xiqi didn't expect Wang Chang to give such an answer, and in ecstasy, he took a big step towards Wang Chang, and the distance between the two was so close that he could even feel the sound of each other's breathing.

"Of course, when I saw the look in your eyes when you said that, I knew you weren't lying. If a tennis player doesn't even dare to think about a Grand Slam championship, what is the difference between him and salted fish? Although she felt a little shy because of the proximity to Pan Xiqi, Wang Yan still decided to say what she really thought in her heart.

"From the first day I started tennis, I vowed to fulfill this dream. Whether it's on the training pitch or in the game, it's a constant drive that keeps me going. Even in my dreams, I can't remember how many times I fantasized about myself lifting the trophy aloft. As she spoke, a dazzling light bloomed in Wang Yan's eyes.

"Pansiqi, I want to win a Grand Slam title, it's my lifelong dream! However, I dare not tell anyone but you what I really think. Because I was afraid, I was afraid that they would laugh at me and look down on me, and I was even more afraid that I would never be able to realize this distant dream. ”

"So, when you were brave enough to say that, I felt like you were speaking for me. So how could I laugh at you? I envy your courage and admire your fearlessness, you are the other me who dares to express your true self! Speaking of excitement, Wang Yan suddenly couldn't help but grab Pan Xiqi's hand.

Wang Yan's words made Pan Xiqi's brain buzz, like a burst of blood surging. He never thought that Wang Yan, who seemed to be so strong on the outside, would have such a fragile heart. And his casual words have such an important meaning for Wang Yan.

"I know that no one will believe me even if I say it. In their eyes, I was just a girl who worked hard but wasn't good enough. Originally, I thought that was the end of my career. But now, I have you, and you can make this dream come true for me, and let me know that the faith I have always held on to is not just a delusion that can never be realized. ”

"Wang Yan, are you willing to believe me?" Pan Xiqi suddenly grabbed Wang Yan's little hand and asked extremely seriously.

"Believe in you?"

"In two weeks' time, let me fulfill your dream of becoming a Grand Slam champion!" Pansiqi replied categorically.
