Chapter 39: Playing Table Tennis Together
The afternoon sun was warm and warm, and a few white clouds floated in the clear blue sky. After Guoguo and Jingya had lunch, they went downstairs to the stadium to play table tennis together with a table tennis racket.
The golden sunlight shone on Guoguo's fair cheeks, making Guoguo more lovely, beautiful and moving.
Zhao Ziyang held the movie ticket in his hand, and he was happy, this was the first time he invited Guoguo to watch a movie, he used to accompany Guoguo to the driving school every week, and this week he planned to accompany Guoguo to watch a good-looking movie.
Zhao Ziyang saw Guoguo in the sun from a distance, wearing a refreshing beige sportswear, slightly hunched over, putting the ball on the palm, waving the racket with one hand, and preparing to throw the ball to serve, Jingya on the other end also began to swing from side to side. Guoguo threw the ball, quickly swung the racket, and sent a very beautiful ball. Although Jing Ya's eyes were staring at the table tennis ball and turning left and right, and she also jumped her body from time to time, because her ball skills were too bad, she either couldn't catch the ball, or she missed the ball when she received the ball, which made Jing Ya inevitably a little anxious and discouraged, in fact, Guoguo's ball skills were not much better than Jing Ya before, and she also learned from Zhao Ziyang in the recent past, and she has made great progress.
"Guoguo, I don't want to practice anymore, it's really not good, I'm not the material for playing." Jingya wiped the beads of sweat from her face and said to Guoguo in frustration.
"Jingya, don't be discouraged, I won't be at the beginning, and I will slowly learn from Zhao Ziyang." Guoguo encouraged Jingya, who was dejected.
Zhao Ziyang saw that the two of them had finally stopped, and walked over with a smile on his face.
"Guoguo, tomorrow Saturday, let's go to the cinema to watch a movie together, this is the movie ticket I just bought, it will be screened at 9 am tomorrow, and I will pick you up in your dormitory tomorrow morning." The two movie tickets were handed to Guoguo together.
"What movie? I'll take a look, it turns out to be this movie, I've seen the promo, it should be very good, great, I like to watch it, I'll watch it. Guoguo jumped three feet high with joy.
Jingya saw that Zhao Ziyang was coming, she finally didn't have to accompany Guoguo to play table tennis, for her, playing table tennis with this rotten technique was simply a crime, she still liked to read quietly. Now she can finally go back to reading and sleeping.
"Guoguo, now that there is a handsome guy with good ball skills to play with you, I will go back. Fruit, bye-bye. When Jingya saw Zhao Ziyang coming, she said to Guoguo.
"Jingya, either I'll let Zhao Ziyang teach you to play basketball and keep your ball skills improving rapidly." Guoguo said to Jingya, who wanted to go back.
"Guoguo, no need, I'd better go back and take a nap." Jingya shook her head and smiled at Guoguo and said that she couldn't think of being a light cannon here, and then went back to the dormitory.
"Guoguo, I'll accompany you to practice well, just to see how much your skills have improved?" Zhao Ziyang smiled at Guoguo and smiled.
"Thanks to the master's teaching, of course, the progress is very fast." Guoguo said confidently to Zhao Ziyang.
"Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me, I'm already so confident."
"Guoguo, take the call." As soon as Zhao Ziyang came up, he sent a speeding spinning ball to Guoguo.
Guoguo waved the racket flexibly from side to side, and her big eyes were staring at the direction of the ball's flying, wanting to counterattack quickly, but she didn't expect that as soon as she swung the racket, the ball was gone?
"Zhao Ziyang, what kind of ball did you send. How can it be so fast? Guoguo didn't expect her to be so serious and flexible to prepare for the ball, but she still hasn't received it yet.
"It's called a spinning ball, it's a very fast way to serve, it's harder to catch the ball, and if you react a little slower, the ball is gone."
"How can you catch this kind of serve?" Guoguo asked curiously.
"There are many kinds of spinning balls, including forward spinning balls and reverse spinning balls, upward spinning balls and downward spinning balls. The one I just sent you is a relatively simple kind of upward spinning ball. ”
"It's a relatively simple spinning ball, isn't it? Zhao Ziyang, how good is your table tennis! Guoguo asked in surprise.
"Guoguo, in fact, my table tennis skills are not very good, compared with professional table tennis players, it was far from that time."
"But I think you're already very good, I don't understand what you say about spinning the ball." Guoguo looked confused
said.
"I'll tell you what a spin ball is, and then I'll tell you how to serve a spin ball." At this time, Zhao Ziyang had already walked over, he stood behind Guoguo, and first sent an upward forward spinning ball to Guoguo to slow down, so that Guoguo could watch how he served.
Guoguo watched Zhao Ziyang serve, it was quite easy, but when it was time to serve, he didn't know how to serve? It was Zhao Ziyang who taught her by hand.
When Guoguo learned how to serve a spinning ball, she was very happy.
"Zhao Ziyang, how do you catch the spinning ball?" Guoguo asked.
"If you catch it normally, the ball will involuntarily run to the right, and it will be difficult for you to catch it, and it will often be outside the table. So, I've come up with a great way to catch the spin ball: you tilt the racket a little bit to the left so that you force the ball to move to the left and not take it out of the table. Zhao Ziyang carefully explained to Guoguo how to tilt the racket with Guoguo's hand.
"Zhao Ziyang, I understand, I know, you just have to serve. I'm ready to take it now. Guoguo listened to Zhao Ziyang's explanation, and felt that it was actually very simple, suddenly enlightened, and excited.
"Then hurry up and get ready, I'll start posting." Zhao Ziyang began to prepare to serve.
According to the method that Zhao Ziyang just said, Guoguo held the handle in his hand, tilted the racket slightly to the left, and then bowed his body slightly, swinging his pace from side to side easily.
Zhao Ziyang smiled slightly, and easily sent an upward spinning ball.
Guoguo stared at the spinning ball that Zhao Ziyang had sent, and although Zhao Ziyang sent it a little softer and slower this time, Guoguo still didn't catch it.
Guoguo thought that according to the method that Zhao Ziyang just said, he could easily catch the spinning ball, and it seemed that it was not so easy to catch the spinning ball.
"Zhao Ziyang, if you re-send it, I don't believe that I can't catch this ball." Guoguo didn't believe she wouldn't be able to catch the ball.
"Guoguo, it's good, I'll resend it, you have to be prepared to watch it this time."
Zhao Ziyang sent several balls in succession, but Guoguo didn't catch them, and Guoguo was a little deflated.
"Guoguo, don't be discouraged, you must be able to, believe in yourself."
Zhao Ziyang sent a spinning ball this time softly and easily, Guoguo was finally clever this time, and he really caught it easily and counterattacked, which surprised Zhao Ziyang.
"Guoguo, yes, it's relatively smart." Zhao Ziyang stretched out his thumb to Guoguo and praised.
Guoguo felt that he had really gained a lot from practicing table tennis with Zhao Ziyang at noon today, and he was getting more and more enjoyable.
Although Guoguo was sweating all over, she didn't feel tired at all.
"Guoguo, don't practice, you see you're already sweating profusely." Zhao Ziyang looked at Guoguo who was covered with sweat beads and said.
"Alright, let's rest, then." Guoguo said to Zhao Ziyang with a smile while panting, at this time she also felt very tired and didn't want to practice anymore.
Zhao Ziyang took out a napkin from his pocket, walked in front of Guoguo, and pulled Guoguo to his chest, Guoguo raised his eyes and stared at Zhao Ziyang, he was gently holding the napkin to help her wipe the sweat from her face.
"Remember tomorrow at 9:00 a.m., we'll watch a movie together, and I'll pick you up at 8 a.m. tomorrow." Zhao Ziyang bent down and said in Guoguo's ear.
"Watching movies, such a good thing, I will definitely remember." Guoguo was happy in her heart when she heard this, and nodded straight and said yes.
"There is still class in the afternoon, you go back to the dormitory to wash up and take a little rest." Zhao Ziyang said softly to Guoguo.
"Hmm." Guoguo nodded.
With a movie ticket in her pocket, Guoguo returned to the dormitory with a happy heart.
