Rebirth Shi Hong

On the way home that day, we walked together all the way until we reached my door.

Low-slung bungalows, dilapidated roofs, mottled walls, and of course warm greeting neighbors, and the smoke from cooking with grandma.

Tang Chuan seemed to be uncharacteristically talking too much in order to break the silence.

He first asked me why I went to work in a messy place like an Internet cafe, and then he seemed to remember that we were underage, and we couldn’t find any serious jobs, and then remembered my usual lonely behavior and old clothes, so he stopped talking , At the end, he asked me about the situation of the exchange again, seeming to be quite interested in it.

No wonder he is so curious. After all, stocks are a product of capitalism. Except for those who are on the trend, they are speculators who are keenly aware of opportunities. Ordinary people seldom get involved in them. After all, the benefits and risks are unknown. , there is really no need to take this risk.

I simply explained the operation process and practical skills, pretending to be "stupid" because I was trapped by money and trying my luck.

I consciously hide myself, and don't want to get too close to him.

Whether it's the one who broke my perfect design in the previous life, or the one who clearly wants to befriend me now.

I can't see Tang Chuan through.I can't see the reason why he befriended me.Is it because of sympathy for such a poor and lonely classmate?Unlike, although he is kind, he is by no means a good person; is it because my special behavior (making money on the exchange) has attracted his attention?He has such keenness and curiosity, but my behavior along the way is ordinary enough, even a little wretched, completely speculative and petty bourgeois style, which will definitely dispel his doubts.

After all, in front of people, my performance was unremarkable, even deliberately clumsy.

He has always hated this kind of person who pretends to be smart but has no ink. His ability determines his vision. In the previous life, I was able to make me a confidant. My mathematical talent is definitely a reason for him to look at him with admiration.

He seemed to take a few steps inadvertently, and consciously opened up a physical distance, which was a manifestation of the decline in psychological favorability; I felt his subconscious resentment towards my "opportunistic behavior".

Purpose achieved.

The strange thing is that I was not as happy as I imagined, but a little sad.

He still said goodbye to me politely, then turned and left this place that was not suitable for him.

He should move towards a higher and farther goal.

He shouldn't have associated with me, a person who was stuck in the past and would rather drown in the rot of the previous life.

I was like a traveler who failed to swim and struggled in the middle of the river. Unfortunately, I didn't have the desire and courage to survive.

I can only lie here forever, waiting for the opportunity.

A chance for self-redemption.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------

After this unremarkable summer vacation, school started.

Simply put, the trading mistakes in the past two months were not too big, one entry and one exit rarely missed, and nine out of ten won.The accumulated capital is enough to afford my university tuition and living expenses.I withdrew some of the principal and profits and made a bank account in case of emergencies.

In my previous life, I was not good at sports in high school, but I only loved badminton. Maybe because of the muscular development I have developed in this life, I have also become a good player in the badminton team. There are many club activities on weekdays.The feeling of the badminton flying on the court is very light, which makes me feel a lot easier about the future. Whenever a force is applied, it can be decomposed into vertical and horizontal vectors, and the badminton can follow the direction after doing work. As soon as I jumped up, the trajectory equation of badminton was printed in my mind, and it landed in the blind spot of the opponent's field of vision. This feeling of strategizing makes people intoxicated.

But I didn't expect Tang Chuan to appear in my trajectory again, like fate.

After a 3-0, I walked off the court wiping the sweat from my brow, only to see that thoughtful look under the big tree beside the court.

Seeing me looking back, Tang Chuan was startled for a moment, then quickly lowered his head, but realized that such an action was more likely to be a cover-up, so he raised his head and walked straight towards me, striding forward without hesitation.

This time, it was me who hesitated.

I can't judge how much he knows about me from such sporadic clues, so I can only wait for the opportunity and act by ear.

Overly careful hiding has made my nerves collapse, and I feel like walking on thin ice; I have long been tired of such a cautious self, but I don't want to expose myself, this time maybe following my heart is also a way.

I hesitated, struggling in my mind.

When he was about 10 meters away from me, he turned around and greeted the president not far away. They seemed to have a close relationship. They chatted shoulder to shoulder and then looked in my direction together.

Then the president spoke first: "Shitou, Tang Chuan heard that you play badminton well, and would like to ask you for advice. Is it convenient for you?"

The president is always good at playing this kind of good old man role, I vaguely felt that we really need to make a break today, so I nodded.

With a warm smile on Tang Chuan's lips, he took the badminton racket from me and kicked off the ball first.

The start was solid, with a forehand to level the lob.

Although the starting posture is the same as that of the high ball, I can easily tell that at the moment of hitting the ball, his forearm accelerates and drives the wrist to swing forward and upward. The contact time between the racket and the ball is not long, and the arc is higher than the ball. Bottom line, if the opponent is a novice, I am afraid that he will be caught off guard and lose his position.

I looked relaxed, but my movements were not slow. I approached the bottom line and lightly hit the frontcourt.

Tang Chuan just responded with a lob, as if he was also testing my potential.

I pushed the ball, and he hooked the ball. There were more than [-] back and forth.

I didn't intend to prolong the front line of the first ball, so I made a point kill with a feint of heavy killing, and went straight to the front net. Tang Chuan seemed to be confused by the previous experience, slowed down and missed the first ball.

But he quickly adjusted his state and came back one after another in the remaining few balls-pressing down to limit my attack, rubbing the ball, hooking the ball and nudging to limit me to the net; I also grasped his routine , Retaliated with a chasing ball and a square ball, which made him exhausted.

Physical kinematics, including acceleration and linear velocity, are all based on mathematics. Every running speed, angle, and even trajectory has its own rules, which are exquisite and precise. Every time I play, I will calculate how much force can be used to produce how far away , What kind of angle can make the cutting point of the ball more accurate, these repeated explorations and deduction have made me more comfortable in this battle.After all, practice and theory are two different things. The wind direction and friction force are not quite in line with the ideal ball movement. Only more practice can we find the best plan one by one.

In the few games I played against Tang Chuan, I practiced many styles of play that I had never actually combated, and gradually slackened my control over my heart defense. I learned a lot from the theoretical operation of badminton. The score difference was controlled within 2 points. On the one hand, he also wanted to challenge his physical strength, and on the other hand, he was considering Tang Chuan's self-esteem.

He could pester me for the whole high school with the four-color problem back then. If badminton is too good, it is hard to guarantee that he will not have the idea of ​​competition.

In the fifth game, both of them were exhausted in physical strength, and my reaction and control ability were not as good as before. It was a miracle, so I simply beat him with easy-to-control techniques such as changing speed and repeating the ball.

Today's Tang Chuan sports is really good - quick response, well-developed muscles, and flexible movements, but compared to his basketball school team level, badminton is indeed a little lacking in training and experience. If he does not win him, it will arouse his suspicion even more.

But in time, he will be able to surpass me, just like the "ball" friends we met many years later in the previous life, I was a fiasco.

After losing the game, he just smiled, walked towards me, shook hands, his eyes no longer had the deep thought under the tree before, and became much clearer, his eyes were like a clear spring, clear to the bottom.

I was a little physically weak and regained my physical strength, and I also regained my usual rationality. Although I still adhered to the principles in today's game, I faintly lost control.

After playing this badminton match, Tang Chuan got closer to me intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing that my English is not good, he would take the initiative to offer me tutoring between classes. Although I can't speculate on his motives, I really can't bear to refuse this kindness; we can see that physics and mathematics are our common strengths. , They often use some ingenious methods to solve problems, and they can learn from each other.I was firm at the beginning, and I was determined not to reveal too much knowledge, so as not to attract his attention. After a long time, in the conversations and discussions, some clues would inevitably be exposed. Tang Chuan simply didn't seem to notice it. He acted like it was a matter of course. It seems that I am too frightened.

I also slowly let go of the wariness that was fading day by day, and it was quite pleasant to associate with Tang Chuan like an ordinary high school study partner.
