Chapter 126: A Chance Encounter with a Fellow Citizen

Two weeks later, Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng dragged their luggage and embarked on a flight to Vietnam alone. Although he had never been abroad before, Pansic felt that he would have to go out for a walk sooner or later, so he actually got his passport in advance. In this way, a lot of trouble was saved, and the registration procedures were relatively smooth, and before the start of the competition, Pan Xiqi and his wife got two wild cards for the qualifying round of the Vietnam Hope Tournament.

On the plane, Pan Xiqi did not have the excitement of going abroad for the first time, but kept cursing the staff of the Beijing team who were responsible for arranging their itinerary for this competition. It turned out that in order to save money to the greatest extent, the team ordered them not only economy class, but also not a direct flight from Beijing to Ho Chi Minh City, and they needed to transfer in Guangzhou.

In this way, the cost of air tickets can be saved by half, but it will be bitter for Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng. Originally, the direct flight took less than six hours, but now, with the delay at Guangzhou Airport, the whole journey is close to 18 hours.

Sitting in the cramped seat, Pansizzy felt like her ass was about to petrify. Looking at Lin Teng on the side, he seemed to be very uncomfortable. It's right to think about it, as the son-in-law of the Lin Group, when has he ever suffered this kind of crime. If Lin Fei knew that his son was treated like this, then he had to hurry up and book two first-class cabins for them to enjoy.

However, Lin Teng left his parents since he was a child, and he was used to taking care of his own life, and he was unwilling to ask for help from his family whenever he encountered difficulties. In addition, this was the team's arrangement, so he didn't say anything, just accepted it silently.

When they arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, but fortunately, the organizing committee arranged a pick-up service, so Pan Siqi and his wife avoided the embarrassment of staying at the airport overnight. Sitting in the dilapidated van that was an unknown number of years old, everything outside the window reminded Pansiqi that they had arrived in a strange country.

Arriving at the hotel, Pan Xiqi and the others were directly dumbfounded. It's a small guest house. When you enter the room, you can see that you have everything you should have, but looking at the dilapidated appearance, no one can guarantee whether you can use it as usual.

"I said Lin Teng, this condition is too bad. I see those professional tennis players, when they play, they live in five-star hotels, which is very luxurious. Why did we become this ghost? Do you think we're being led the wrong way? Pansic asked, a little suspicious.

"Probably not, at the entrance of the hotel, I also saw the sign of this competition to make a hospitality hotel. Although I have played a lot of junior tournaments in the United States, and the accommodation conditions are mediocre, I have never encountered anything like this. Lin Teng shook his head and said.

"This competition is really impressive! I really didn't expect to live in such a ghost place in our first professional competition, and when your uncle becomes famous in the future, don't tell others, I can't afford to lose this person. Pansiqi said half-jokingly.

Although it is the middle of the night in Vietnam, it is still comparable to the height of summer in China. It didn't take long for Pansiqi and the others to get soaked all over. At this time, they realized that there was no air conditioning in the room.

After tinkering with the remote control of the air conditioner for a long time, the old air conditioner on the wall still has no movement, and it seems that it has completely struck. Luckily, there was a floor fan in the room, which was barely enough to alleviate the heat. Although it was already the middle of the night, the two of them couldn't sleep because of the heat, so they went to the bathroom to take a cold shower before gradually falling asleep.

Early the next morning, the two were woken up by the heat again. Looking at the scorching sun outside the window, Pan Xiqi predicted that in the next few weeks, he and Lin Teng would not have a good time. Hurriedly ate a not sumptuous breakfast at the hotel, and Pan Xiqi and the others didn't care about the taste of the dishes, just hoping not to be hungry today.

After breakfast, Pansiqi and Panci got on the race bus parked in front of the hotel and prepared to go to the venue. There are 32 signatures in the main round of the Hope Tournament, of which 24 people are directly shortlisted through the ranking, and the remaining 8 seats are generated by the qualifying round. The number of participants in the qualifying round has reached 64, so although the level of the competition is low, the number of participants is definitely not small.

When he got on the bus, Pansic found that most of the seats were already occupied. There were quite a few people, but it was very quiet, and no one spoke. Looking at these passengers again, they all have a tired look on their faces, and they are squinting their eyes and hurrying to catch up on sleep in the car. It seems that these contestants didn't have a good rest last night.

After finding an empty seat and sitting down, Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng began to feel their eyelids sink after a while. The abundant cool air in the car made them feel comfortable for a long time, and it is no wonder that these players unconsciously fell asleep.

After a while, it seemed that two more people sat down beside them. Faintly, Pansiqi overheard a conversation between the two men.

"Baby, you take advantage of the moment to get some rest, we only arrived at the hotel so late last night, and we didn't sleep much at all. If you don't rest well, you won't be able to play today. ”

"I know Mom, it's just that when I think of today's game, I can't sleep with some nervousness, and now I don't feel sleepy at all." A slightly immature voice responded.

"Yo, Chinese, it seems that I have met my compatriots." Thinking to himself, Pansiqi opened his eyes in a daze and looked to the side.

What caught his eye was a middle-aged woman and a handsome teenager. Looking at the young man like that, he seems to be a few years younger than Lin Teng. Seeing Pan Xiqi wake up, the middle-aged woman said apologetically, "Sorry." ”

"It's okay, are you also Chinese?" Pansiqi asked.

Seeing Pan Xiqi speak Chinese, the two were a little surprised. The woman asked in surprise: "You are also Chinese." It's great, I met my compatriots early in the morning, so I can take care of them in the future. By the way, this is my son's first time playing abroad. Your kids are sitting next to you, right? It seems that the organizing committee is not bad this time, I originally thought that my family would not be allowed to accompany me, but I didn't expect them to let me get on the bus without much care. After the woman finished speaking, she looked happy.

Listening to the mother's words, Pansichy had a black line on his face, and he didn't know how to answer. It seems that the other party thinks of herself as a parent who accompanies her child to participate in the competition. Seeing the embarrassed expression on Pan Xiqi's face, the mother was stunned for a moment and continued to ask, "Oh, isn't it a parent?" Then you must be a coach. This kind of hope competition, accompanied by a coach, is really rare. ”

Seeing that the other party's guesses became more and more outrageous, Pan Xiqi finally couldn't help it, and replied: "Sister, I'm not a parent or a coach, this one on the side is my team, and we are all participating in this competition." ”

"Oh, no!" Hearing Pansizzy's return, the woman cried out unabashedly, obviously in disbelief.

As if she felt that she had lost her temper, she hurriedly calmed down and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape." It's just that you're the age and you don't really look like a competitor in this kind of competition. ”
