I finally achieved financial freedom.
As a result, Tang Yu was busy with the competition and couldn't eat out casually, while Tang Jing was busy being a strong woman and just made do with whatever meal she could find every day.
The two of them had absolutely no time to pursue gourmet food.
So after Zhang Ruoyun cooked a delicious meal, Tang Jing suddenly felt that it would be nice if he came over often.
That year, the three of them celebrated the New Year together.
Then, Tang Yu celebrated her nineteenth birthday.
After all, she'll be nineteen after the New Year.
In January, Tang Yu's leisurely life came to a complete end, and she led her team directly to Hong Kong to participate in the competition.
This is not an official singles match, but a championship challenge held in Hong Kong.
The organizers invited many world champions to compete, and they were divided into teams from the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Russia.
So this is a team friendly match, a warm-up before the Australian Open.
So everyone played quite amicably.
After the match, Hong Kong media interviewed Tang Yu.
"You won the Australian Open last year, and the Australian Open is about to start again this year. Are you confident that you can defend your title this time?"
"I have confidence in every competition I participate in. I think this is a mental quality that an athlete must have. If you don't even have the confidence to win, you can't really fight on the field."
After he said that, the reporter laughed.
"So, will you dye your hair if you make it to the finals?"
Tang Yu always dyes her hair for short periods, so the color usually fades completely within half a month after each dyeing.
So her current hairstyle is black hair.
"I haven't even thought about this yet. Are you going to speculate in the newspapers about what color I'll dye my hair?"
Actually, it's a random thing; I might just dye my hair whatever color I like that day.
After answering some pre-match warm-up questions, a reporter asked a pointed question.
"If you dyed your hair but lost the game, wouldn't you feel that the color was unlucky?"
"I'm not crazy. Losing the competition only proves that there was a problem with my condition and technique. It has nothing to do with my hair color. It doesn't mean that I will definitely win the championship just because I dyed my hair color."
If hair dye were that magical, my rivals would have dyed their hair like me long ago. I dye my hair to improve my mood, not because I'm superstitious.
Tang Yu continued to be sarcastic, and then another reporter spoke up.
"I heard that there are no psychologists or nutritionists on your team."
Have you become so arrogant that you think you can withstand all the pressure on the field with just your talent, without needing professional psychological counseling and nutritional support?
Or is it because you were too poor before, so you couldn't bear to spend money?
Another reporter looking for trouble. Tang Yu smiled faintly and said directly.
"Yes, I'm extremely stingy; I'm terrified of being poor."
A couple of days ago, Xiaoming came to Hong Kong with me. When he heard that I had a piece of scallion stuck in my tooth, he asked me why I didn't swallow it.
I could only sigh and tell him that I was so poor I couldn't afford to eat anymore, so I was saving this piece of scallion for dinner.
"After I finished speaking, Xiaoming was shocked. He said that I didn't have any scallions in my teeth, and that the newspaper was just making things up. How could this be eaten?"
This shows that Xiaoming is ignorant. How could what's written in the newspaper be false? Do you think newspapers would fabricate news?
Xiao Ming burst into laughter after hearing this and said, "Sister, how many of the news stories in these newspapers are true?"
After Tang Yu finished speaking, she chuckled and then immediately called on the next reporter to ask a question.
Isn't her mouth famous enough? She's really giving these people too much credit.
After the interview ended that day, while Zhang Ruoyun was accompanying Tang Yu in line at the airport, he asked her with a smile.
"Are you planning to use Xiaoming as a tool for the rest of your life?"
"Of course, this is all my resentment about doing math problems. I hate Xiaoming every time I do math problems."
Zhang Ruoyun burst into laughter after hearing this, and then leaned on Tang Yu's shoulder, laughing uncontrollably.
“When I was being interviewed before, I met some foreign journalists. One of them switched to sports and couldn’t understand the jokes in your words.”
So he once specifically asked me, a Chinese person, "Who exactly is Xiaoming? Is he some famous figure in China? Why do you keep talking about him?"
Upon hearing this little story, Tang Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"After hearing what you said, I suddenly feel that I have let Xiaoming down."
The two looked at each other, then snuggled into each other's arms and laughed.
Chapter 20 Tennis Entertainment
The Australian Open coincides with the Chinese New Year in China, so Tang Yu will be unable to celebrate the holiday at home this year and will have to compete abroad.
The weather this year has been unusually hot. Every time I play a match, my emotions seem to get as irritable as the weather. There have even been instances where athletes have had to withdraw from the competition due to heatstroke.
Every day after finishing a match, Tang Yu would start eating popsicles.
Halfway through the game, Tang Jing arrived. Since it was the Spring Festival holiday, she and Tang Yu spent another Spring Festival abroad.
After the Spring Festival, Tang Yu successfully made it to the finals in the following days.
"I heard there are underground gambling dens trying to guess what color my hair color will be. Why don't you choose this time?"
Tang Yu handed the choice to Zhang Ruoyun, who immediately laughed.
"Whatever color I choose, you dye it that color?"
"Of course, after all, I look good no matter what color I dye my hair. I don't have any anxiety about my appearance, only the trouble of having too many suitors."
After hearing this, Zhang Ruoyun immediately blocked the person in the corridor.
"Is this peach blossom a source of trouble for me?"
"You are the exception, and I enjoy it."
After Tang Yu finished speaking, Zhang Ruoyun immediately raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Let's go dye our hair together this time. Looking around the crowd, only I can match you."
Tang Yu leaned over the person in front of her and laughed.
"The chances are a bit low, but I wish you success."
Finally, the two of them went to get their hair dyed silver-white.
On the day of the competition, Tang Jing and Zhang Ruoyun sat in the audience.
"I don't think dyeing your hair to do extreme sports is bad for an athlete, but it's true that only you are willing to do this with her."
Her team members all wanted her to be like a programmed machine, practicing tennis every day, sleeping at fixed times, and eating fixed meals. But what's the point of living like that?
Sometimes I feel like you're some kind of eccentric guy leading my sister astray, and other times I feel like you two are really happy together.
Hearing Tang Jing say that, Zhang Ruoyun smiled and spoke up.
“Yu Yu is not a caged canary; she is an eagle soaring in the sky. She should live freely and unrestrained.”
Tang Jing smiled after hearing this.
"The colors you two dyed this time actually match quite well."
After saying that, Tang Jing continued.
"I was very busy with work before, and I only got to read your novel on this flight. The female protagonist of that book, 'Mythical Beast Badge,' is named Qin Yu, and her English name is Jade Qin. Why did you choose such a name?"
Tang Yu never asked Zhang Ruoyun why he had the name, but Tang Jing cared a lot about it.
I was really confused after seeing this. Didn't these two just meet?
But she really felt that the female lead's personality was somewhat similar to her sister's.
"The heroines in all my novels are named Yu. The surname for this one is Qin Ming. It's really that simple."
He also has names like Fan Yulin Yu, which means he can change his surname but not his given name.
Tang Jing looked meaningfully at the person next to her, and then asked seriously.
"Answer me honestly, did you take a liking to my sister when she was playing in junior tournaments a few years ago?"
Zhang Ruoyun burst out laughing instantly.
"I really didn't know her back then, otherwise the female protagonist in my novel would have the surname Tang."
You can consider it fate; we were destined to meet.
Tang Jing found it a bit cheesy and finally sighed.
"Don't let Ayu's tall stature and athletic appearance fool you; she actually suffered from several serious illnesses when she was a child."
Because no one took care of her at home back then, she developed some health problems. Ayu gets headaches easily after getting caught in the rain, so you need to take good care of her.
Tang Jing sometimes feels dazed, as if her younger sister has grown rapidly and become much stronger ever since she started school.
Unlike when I was two or three years old, when I was a child, I was not burdened by my bad parents and didn't have enough to eat or wear.
Those high fevers all happened when the child was two or three years old, because the parents were irresponsible and didn't dress the child in thick clothes in winter.
Therefore, she only considered her younger sister as family, and no one else was worthy of her attention.
“I know that we are getting to know each other, and in addition to our strengths, we are also accepting and embracing each other’s weaknesses.”
As the two were talking, Tang Yu had already finished the first game when the referee suddenly started acting strangely.
Because the serve was served for a slightly longer time than intended, even though it was still within the allotted time, the referee ruled it invalid, directly disrupting Tang Yu's offensive strategy.
In the second game, Tang Yu hit the winning shot, but the referee suddenly stopped the game, saying that she had committed a foul by stepping on the line.
Tang Yu then appealed to see the replay, and the result showed that there was no problem.
Tang Yu also sensed things had developed to this point.
