Chapter 6, The Surprise of Children's Day

Lu Sheng stood behind Nan Feng, cheering him on. Director Ding, upon seeing this, felt his heart break; he exclaimed, "Lu Sheng, come here! You traitor, what about the kindness I have shown you?"

"It really is the south wind!" The principal exclaimed excitedly while slapping his thigh, "With the south wind, our school will thrive, hahaha! Xiao Ding, what did I say? I knew Lu Sheng was someone who could accomplish great things, just look!"

He almost couldn't continue speaking, feeling that Nan Feng already knew what he was about to say. Director Ding cleared his throat and forced himself to continue, "Well, what I mean is... forget it, I'll just say it directly. I have two students here, both of whom are promising talents. One of them is Lu Sheng, as you have seen, he has talent and determination, but he started learning late. However, with proper guidance, he will definitely improve. The other one is even more talented, although a bit mischievous, but for someone training in sports, being inactive is detrimental, wouldn't you agree? I have two students here, both of whom are promising talents. One of them is Lu Sheng, as you have seen, he has talent and determination, but he started learning late. However, with proper guidance, he will definitely improve. The other one is even more talented, although a bit mischievous, but for someone training in sports, being inactive is detrimental, wouldn't you agree? That child can now even take down the coach; the coach left because of this... So, our coach left in a huff, and no matter how we persuade him, he won't come back..."

The south wind nudged the bicycle beside it, "Let's go, where do you want to go?"

The south wind ... ... '' She tried to call for help, but the noise of the crowd drowned out her cries

You can do whatever you want, today is your festival, you are in charge.

The south wind inquired: "Why are you not attending class?"

Principal Wei could hardly believe that such a large piece of pie could fall into his lap, "You, you don't want to think it over again?"

However, no matter how beautiful the time spent together is, it ultimately comes to an end.

Ah, a mermaid!

Well, I usually come here to train after school. This statement sounds a bit boastful, considering she doesn't even have a coach...

Upon arriving at the tennis court, Lu Sheng let out a soft "Oh"

Lu Sheng scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Oh, how about the amusement park?" I haven't been to an amusement park yet

Oh, Teacher Ding seems to be in a bad mood, it must be because Nan Feng won, Lu Sheng thought, this is an ACE ball

Director Ding pondered for a moment and said, "Are university courses busy? If they are not too busy, you could consider taking on a part-time job or something similar. The main thing is to find something to do, just to avoid being idle."

The two individuals determined that the south wind would serve by using a spinning racket method. In tennis matches, it is customary for one side to serve while the other side receives throughout a specific game.

Lu Sheng thought, this must be the most elegant serve in the world

The person is still alive, but the dream is dead

Whatever

Teacher Ding still maintained the posture of gripping the racket to face the opponent, yet the ball had long since rolled aside

Lu Sheng lowered his head and said softly, "They have all forgotten you"

Suddenly, she saw a huge colorful tail flicking in the middle of a cluster of seaweed. She was somewhat puzzled and, following the colorful tail, she saw the upper body of a human.

After the two entered the aquarium, they first viewed the fossils and specimens. Lu Sheng had never seen these before and was amazed by everything she saw: the beautiful corals and starfish, the oddly shaped shells, the vividly colored fish, and even a specimen made from a real shark that was over two meters long. It was breathtaking and overwhelming. Nan Feng walked beside her, listening to her exclamations; the child's voice was soft and clear, and he couldn't help but be drawn in by her curiosity. Nan Feng even began to seriously read the descriptions of the specimens and, after finishing, explained them to Lu Sheng.

The south wind gently shook the ash, followed by a faint sound of "mm".

Seeing Lu Sheng looking this way, Director Ding recovered from his surprise and said somewhat annoyed, "What are you looking at? Score!"

A few months ago, when Nan Feng had just won the runner-up at the Australian Open, he would certainly have been surrounded by people while walking down the street

Lu Sheng had no choice but to run over a bit and stand next to the net, "Teacher Ding, let me be the referee for you."

It is still early, and Lu Sheng does not want to go home. She said, "I want to go to school first to take a look"

She was so focused on watching the serve that she inwardly exclaimed that it was not good and turned her gaze towards Teacher Ding's direction

Lu Sheng pointed to the two people playing tennis on the court, saying, "Over there, one is our school principal, and the other is Teacher Ding from the admissions office. They are both good people"

In order to regain some dignity, Director Ding decided that he must at least receive one ball from Nan Feng in this match.

In summary, today is truly the happiest day of her life

He crossed his arms, let out a gentle sigh, and tried to make his voice sound relaxed and cheerful: "Since I am quite bored as well, how about I keep you company for the festival today?"

Principal Wei: Why do I feel contempt from these two characters

The so-called ACE ball refers to a serve that the opponent has no chance to touch, resulting in an immediate point. This reflects a high level of skill

The south wind bought Lu Sheng a blue baby whale balloon at the entrance of the aquarium, the baby whale's belly was round and adorable. Lu Sheng held the balloon with a bit of embarrassment: "It seems a bit childish, doesn't it?"

Suddenly, her hand was grasped. The warm, dry hand held her tightly with a bit of force. Then, the crowd pressing in front of her shifted slightly, and the plump aunt shouted in dissatisfaction: "Who the hell pushed me?"

Lu Sheng lowered her head and fell silent. She realized that she could tell others about her family without any pressure, but not in front of Nan Feng. It was as if that awkward situation would turn her into a flower blooming in barren sand, so withered and humble that it would be buried by the dust of the wind.

The southern wind looked down at Lu Sheng. The young girl had a delicate and refined face, with a slightly crooked ponytail and thin, fragmented bangs sticking to her forehead, her hair fine and soft. Her eyes were distinctly black and white, clear and clean at the bottom, resembling a spring that is untouched by dust.

After the match, he looked somewhat embarrassed and chuckled, "Nanfeng, your prestige remains as formidable as ever."

Director Ding turned around upon hearing this and immediately recognized him, "Nan Feng?"

Lu Sheng could not quite understand these words, and she looked up at him in confusion

A commotion ensued around, as many people squeezed in to see the "Mermaid". Although they all knew it was a person in disguise, this did not dampen their enthusiasm.

Compared to the two, Director Ding can be considered as someone who "can fight," while Principal Wei can only be regarded as someone who "can play at fighting." Nevertheless, both of them are having a great time engaging in the activity.

Lu Sheng felt a bit embarrassed standing next to Nan Feng, yet she also felt a subtle sense of pride

Therefore, once it is confirmed that the serving side is the south wind, all the serves in this round will be made by him

Lu Sheng felt that something was amiss. She turned around to look for Nan Feng, but the crowd surged forward, pressing her back tightly against the railing, causing her discomfort. In front of her, a plump auntie was leaning against her, making it somewhat difficult for her to breathe.

Today is Children's Day, and the school is on holiday

The two individuals walked while discussing, with the sun hanging high in the sky, its rays gently illuminating them, quiet and tender. A gentle breeze blew, causing the trumpet vine on the wall to sway lightly among the dense green leaves, resembling dancing fire sprites

The south wind interrupted Director Ding's words: "Sure."

Next, the south wind consecutively served three ACE balls.

A series of movements were concise and fluid, similar yet distinct from what Coach Li had done before. The similarity lay in the key points of the movements, while the difference was that Nan Feng's serves appeared more aesthetically pleasing. When he jumped, his body seemed light and agile, complemented by his handsome features and tall stature, illuminated by the brilliant sunlight, making him resemble an angel descending from the holy light. His strikes were swift and fierce, exuding an impressive momentum, with a fierce gaze, akin to a Rakshasa wielding divine weapons.

His strikes were swift and fierce, exuding an impressive momentum, with a fierce gaze, akin to a Rakshasa wielding divine weapons. Upon landing, his center of gravity lowered slightly, calm and composed, his expression returning to tranquility, even carrying a hint of a faint smile

The underwater world is supported by arched glass, within which there is real seawater and marine life. As people walk beneath the glass, they are completely surrounded by the oceanic realm, with swaying seaweed and schools of fish on both sides. There are also large manta rays resembling flying saucers, elegantly shaped dolphins, and one can look up to see sea turtles slowly swimming overhead

Lu Sheng's mood was so good that she felt like she could fly, her little face flushed, and she became more talkative.

Lu Sheng felt somewhat embarrassed

The gentle southern wind carries a calm gaze, and the clouds are light and the breeze is soft. He said, "At least I am still alive. Do you know that my coach, sparring partner, physician, and assistant... are all gone?"

She was wearing a slightly worn school uniform, with a red scarf neatly tied at her chest, and she was not carrying a backpack

The south wind noticed that this little girl was quite clever. He glanced at her from the side, and there was a barely perceptible smile in his eyes: "You have not yet invited me."

"Good." The south wind readily agreed.

After some thought, it suddenly became clear: after all this time, no one has recognized Nan Feng

The south wind held the balloon of the baby whale in one hand and her hand in the other, shaking her head helplessly, "Are you willing to risk your life just to see the fish?"

Hmm, why is no one accompanying you to celebrate the festival? What about your parents?

She lowered her head and did not see the emotions in his eyes, only hearing him say: "There is no rule about who must remember whom. Moreover, being forgotten, for me, is also a form of liberation"

Lu Sheng felt somewhat helpless, reaching out and grasping aimlessly. She no longer wanted to look at the mermaid; she just wanted to leave this place

Principal Wei was savoring a Huanghelou cigarette while thinking to himself, this little Ding really knows how to boast

Teacher Ding, defeated

The south wind nodded slightly, "Hello, Principal Wei, hello, Teacher Ding."

The underwater world is the most popular, with the highest number of people, almost to the point of being shoulder to shoulder. Lu Sheng was so engrossed in watching the dolphins that he momentarily forgot to follow Nan Feng

What is this language...

Then he went to the ticket counter to queue for tickets. There were quite a few people lined up in front of the ticket counter, forming a long queue, but only Nan Feng stood out prominently, tall and upright, like a jade tree swaying in the wind. Lu Sheng stood not far away, her gaze following his figure. After watching for a while, she felt that something was amiss.

Director Ding remained calm. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Nan Feng. Nan Feng was not very talkative, and his gaze inadvertently swept over the racket in Director Ding's hand. Director Ding, who considered himself the "intellectual representative of the entire Shuqing Sports School," could not fail to understand Nan Feng's feelings at this moment, so he kindly asked, "Would you like to play a game?"

Director Ding opened his mouth and said, "Ah?"

The two of them got out of the taxi and entered the school. As Lu Sheng walked, she introduced him, recounting the stories that Director Ding had once boasted to her, word for word to Nan Feng.

Alright, prepare, the southern wind begins to serve

"Wait a moment," Principal Wei hesitated, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "In terms of compensation, we may not be able to offer too high a..."

Oh

Lu Sheng hurriedly followed, walking on the other side of the bicycle. She still felt a bit dreamy, her mind was dizzy, and her emotions were excited and hard to suppress, as if even the air had taken on a fragrant scent

Good

When Nan Feng returned after buying the tickets, he noticed that the little girl was not in a good mood. He asked, "What’s wrong?"

Where.

Lu Sheng suddenly felt a deep sense of gratitude towards this world, and she nodded eagerly: "As long as we are alive, that is enough!"

The three of them chatted while puffing smoke. Director Ding asked Nan Feng, "What are you up to now? Are you going to school?"

Sure, but today is Children's Day, and there will definitely be a lot of people at the amusement park. Are you sure?

Director Ding exchanged a glance with Principal Wei. He said to Lu Sheng, "Lu Sheng, you go over there and play by yourself for now"

The south wind held a cigarette in one hand and let out a faint "hm". He found it a bit strange why this Teacher Ding seemed so familiar to him, as he was certain he had never seen this person before

Ah? Then I won't go, I won't go!" Lu Sheng quickly waved his hand, "Um, what about the aquarium?"

The south wind asked Lu Sheng, "Where is your home? I will escort you back."

This is a confrontation without any suspense; however, for Director Ding, there was simply no opportunity to touch the ball while standing continuously... it is indeed somewhat humiliating...

Suddenly, I feel a bit bittersweet

Principal Wei was in a state of bliss as he took a puff. After all, as a principal of a financially struggling school with a monthly allowance of only 200 yuan, he rarely had the opportunity to smoke good cigarettes

Her tone was light and airy: "Anywhere is fine."

How?

The south wind returned the balloon to her. He held her hand as they squeezed through the crowd. The aquarium was air-conditioned, and the air was cool; her hand was nestled in his warm palm, and amidst the bustling crowd, she suddenly felt a unique sense of tranquility in her heart

There should be fewer people in the aquarium

Lu Sheng, however, felt somewhat worried: "Aren't you unable to engage in strenuous exercise?"

Lu Sheng spoke while secretly observing Nan Feng's expression. Noticing that he seemed somewhat interested, she quickly asked, "Would you like to take a look around?"

The south wind found it amusing and, holding back a laugh, said, "Do not throw it away"

The south wind was originally smoking with lowered eyes, but upon hearing this, it suddenly lifted its gaze to glance at him. This glance held a subtly restrained sharpness, leaving Director Ding momentarily stunned.

Director Ding: - # Could you consider the feelings of the audience ... ...

When the taxi stopped at the entrance of the Shuqing Sports School, Nanfeng was somewhat surprised: "Is this the school you were referring to?"

Good

"No need, I brought my own," said Nan Feng as he took out his Huanghelou cigarettes. He then noticed Principal Wei and Teacher Ding continuously eyeing his cigarette case. How could Nan Feng be unaware of their intentions? Thus, he decided to share his cigarettes with them

Fortunately, Director Ding has come to his senses at this moment, "I said, why don't we sign the contract today?"

Lu Sheng suddenly looked up, staring at him in disbelief, her clear eyes filled with surprise

Then comes the main event—the underwater world

Leaving the small path, Nan Feng casually found a place to park the mountain bike, and then took a taxi with Lu Sheng to the aquarium

Then Lu Sheng was pulled out. She gasped for breath and saw that it was Nan Feng who was pulling her.

The south wind looked at her, her head lowered like a listless little bird, and only then did he realize that her school uniform was not quite fitting, clearly a size too small, with a significant portion of her wrists and ankles exposed

Standing in such a world, Lu Sheng felt an unparalleled amazement, with emotions surging within him

It has only been three months, yet everything has changed and people have long forgotten him

After dismissing Lu Sheng, Director Ding took out a cigarette and offered it to Nan Feng, "Would you like one?"

Emerging from the underwater world, they went to eat squid balls and seafood noodles, and then went to watch a seal performance and see the world of jellyfish. After coming out, the south wind bought her vanilla ice cream and handmade candies.

The south wind lowered its head, looking at her soothingly, its gaze gentle, "Rest assured, playing with Teacher Ding should not be considered strenuous exercise."

Hmm. The south wind nodded slightly, but in his heart, he let out a heavy sigh

Lu Sheng saw Nan Feng throw the ball high, then gently jumped up, facing the sunlight, with his right hand holding the racket sweeping in an arc, and forcefully hit the ball out.

Little does he know that Director Ding has always regarded him as a distant cousin in his heart, without even asking whether the other party agrees or not

This is more like it

Today, the children are on holiday, which means that the tennis club is effectively closed. Therefore, Principal Wei and Director Ding happily came to play tennis.

Principal Wei has already noticed Lu Sheng. When Lu Sheng and Nan Feng walked in, Principal Wei rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief, "Is this... is this..."

Lu Sheng felt a sudden panic in her heart, thinking to herself, will I be crushed to death...

After careful consideration, I will not agree

Principal Wei, whose brain has been resting all along, reacted quickly, "So you mean to say you agreed? You will come here to be a part-time coach?"
