Kong Zhendong's resume is simple, and the process of going abroad to play in Sweden is very smooth.

Zhang Lei has represented the Chinese team in the World Series for several years, and he is considered the main player of the national team, but his process of going abroad is a little stuck.

Sweden's Table Tennis Super League this year has started the first round of competition at the end of August, and the opponent also asked young players like Kong Zhendong to go over in advance for adaptive training.

Fortunately, Kong Zhendong got along very well with the staff in the Swedish Embassy during this time, so Mi Xingbang entrusted the Swedish staff who wanted to return to China on business and took Kong Zhendong to the Swedish club to report first.

The diplomat who took Kong Zhendong to Sweden this time was Ms. Horna Linde. She is the wife of the Swedish world champion Linde in the 80s, so she takes special care of the Chinese table tennis teenagers.

When waiting for the flight at the airport, Horna introduced to Kong Zhendong that she would bring an intern girl back to China this time, and Horna did not introduce her in detail, but asked Kong Zhendong to call her Victoria.

Victoria is a fairly common feminine name in Europe, but there are not many women who can add beauty to this name.

Victoria looks like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, different from the allure of Nordic blonde beauties, with long chestnut hair that accentuates her personality, and straight-leg jeans that set off her legs more and more slender.

Horna introduced the two to each other, Victoria got up from the chair in the waiting hall, Kong Zhendong found that he only felt that the girl had long legs when he sat down, and when he stood up, he found that his height was only a little shorter than himself. Wearing loose sportswear on her upper body, she took off the Walkman headphones from her ears and greeted Kong Zhendong with a smile.

The smile is bright, brushing the hairline, and the pinna that is exposed when the headphones are taken off, like a civet cat is round, and it is extremely beautiful.

Boarding the plane, Horna did not give a detailed introduction to Victoria's family background, but Kong Zhendong knew that the girl's age, I am afraid that she has not yet entered high school, but she can enter the Swedish embassy for an internship in the summer, and her family background must not be simple.

After getting on the plane, Horna sat in the middle, and Kong Zhendong had no further contact with Victoria.

In 92, the capital did not have a direct flight to Stockholm, so this flight required a connecting flight in London.

While changing planes at the London airport, Horna met the Swedish diplomat in the United Kingdom, who had worked with her in the capital, and the two chatted for a while, and Kong Zhendong and Victoria boarded the plane first.

As soon as he sat down in his seat, he noticed that the girl Victoria's face was a little pale and seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and her slender and delicate fingers were tightly grasping the armrests of the table and chair, and the knuckles were slightly pale from the exertion.

Kong Zhendong asked, "Are you uncomfortable?" Is it airsickness? "Looking at the symptoms, it's a bit like airsickness, but shouldn't it, you can come to the embassy for an internship, at least fly back and forth from multiple countries, right? How can you get motion sickness?

Victoria laughed: "I didn't eat anything this morning, and the bumps in take-off and landing were a little uncomfortable. ”

Kong Zhendong immediately asked the flight attendant for a few plum candy and a cup of hot water.

Let Victoria snort for a while, and then drink hot water, her stomach warmed up, and the discomfort was really relieved a lot.

Victoria smiled and said to Kong Zhendong: "Thank you~"

This is the third time Kong Zhendong has seen her smile today, but this time there is less formulaic alienation in the smile and more sincerity.

When Horna re-boarded the plane, Victoria offered to ask Kong Zhendong to sit next to her. Horna was a little surprised, but she didn't object.

The plane took off again, and during the climb, Victoria's fingers still instinctively clasped the handrails, Kong Zhendong smiled kindly at her, and Victoria slowly relaxed.

After the plane ran smoothly, Victoria smiled kindly at Kong Zhendong, who shrugged indifferently.

While Horna was not paying attention, Victoria stuck out her tongue at Kong Zhendong in a funny way. As soon as Horna turned around, she immediately became serious again.

This instant switch from smart to dignified completely amused Kong Zhendong.

After such a fuss, the estrangement between the two was completely eliminated. Victoria took off the headphones in one ear and asked Kong Zhendong to listen to music with her.

The earbuds are plugged into the pinna, as if with the fragrance and body temperature of a girl, and the familiar music melody comes into the ears.

……

Country roads， take me home

To the place I belong

est Virginia， Mountain Mama

Take me home， country roads

……

This girl actually listened to American country music, this beautiful and faintly sad melody, Kong Zhendong couldn't help but hum along.

This is about the longing for hometown and belonging, and for people like Kong Zhendong who have spanned more than 20 years of history, this melody has a different charm.

"You're so good at humming, did you sing this song before? It's hard to hear authentic American country ballads in your country. The girl said to Kong Zhendong with some surprise.

Kong Zhendong felt that this girl had a dignified and elegant appearance beyond her age, but once she started to speak, her tone was lively and lively, and the whole person became smart, from extremely quiet to extremely moving, but with a different sense of beauty.

Kong Zhendong doesn't know much about American country folk songs, but John Denver's famous song is one of his favorite songs in his previous life, so through this song, talk about rural folk music superficially, Kong Zhendong is not stage frightened.

Beginning with music, the two gradually shared more and more common language.

Kong Zhendong asked, "Why don't you eat more before you get on the plane?" Are you not used to the taste of Chinese food? ”

"Before I arrived in China a few months ago, I already had mild anorexia. When I arrived in China, I was interested in many new snacks and dishes. However, the embassy has very strict requirements for sanitary conditions, so ~" Victoria made a 'you know' expression of spreading her hands, and this gesture was particularly playful to her.

Kong Zhendong said with a smile: "It's a pity, Chinese cuisine is broad and profound, and there is no anorexia that Chinese food can't cure." Later, when we arrived in Stockholm, we had time to come out and get together, and we looked for any authentic Chinese restaurants together. ”

Victoria had some expectations, but there was also a hint of helplessness in her eyes, but in the end she nodded with a smile and agreed.

After getting off the plane, Victoria became quiet again, although the clouds were light and the breeze was light, revealing an elegant charm, Kong Zhendong still felt that the playful girl on the plane was more cute.

As soon as the three of them left the airport, dozens of reporters swooped down from different directions, crackling, and slamming with long guns and short guns.

Kong Zhendong was completely stunned!

I haven't won the championship to become the king of the world, have I? Is it necessary to have such a big battle in Sweden?

Soon he found himself in love.

Contrary to Kong Zhendong's confusion, Victoria and Ms. Horna seemed very calm.

Ms. Horna quickly contacted the vehicle of the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, skillfully shielded Victoria, helped her get into the car quickly, and then let Kong Zhendong sit in the co-pilot, and the car drove out quickly, leaving the reporters far behind.
