[Volleyball] Please, please give me a mole with tears and bright eyes!

Taking professional players as a stepping stone, in just one day, the reputation resounded.

"Hey, this is Jeremy Lin from the neon women's table tennis world! Little Mosquito has done a good job~ I have been invited by a university team, what do you think now~" Later in the dinner, Liu Wei pulled the news page and shouted. Zhai Lu, who was busy saving his hairstyle under his claws, had to ignore Mr. Xiaozhi, who was becoming more and more at a loss under the triple pinch of his mother, grandma and grandma.

Father Kong turned his head and hummed subtly, discussing the next few days' schedule with Yu Hoshino, and making two phone calls from time to time.

Sports competition has reached the professional level, and the competition of victory and defeat is no longer as simple as the level on the court.

Physical coaches, tactical analysis, life guidance, professional doctors, media public relations and even psychological counseling are all the weight of the game.

As for the so-called sports family, it is the existence of this point of being unhurried and unhurried.

Seeing his father's busy appearance, Kong Wenlu had the real feeling that the battle had started.How should I describe this feeling...I thought I was driving a sailboat but was led to the spaceport...I was carried by the torrent that I couldn't reach by myself. Although I was at the helm and steered the direction, I was always at a loss unconsciously.

The protagonist of the incident wants to be alone.

Soon after, Takashi Sugawara, who had withdrawn from the group of relatives and friends, also sat down beside her, knee to knee watching the gurgling water in the hotel garden.

Kong Wenlu exhaled softly, resting his head on Sugawara's shoulder.

The boy's eyes were clear, and he seemed to feel something. He just held her hand silently, touching the callus caused by the girl's right hand holding the racket for many years, and looked up at the visible stars above the city.

After looking sideways at the night sky for a long while, Kong Wenlu murmured: "You know Xiaozhi... today's opponent... I don't know their past performance. Although I have practiced targeted technical responses, that is what my father summed up. It is the type of opponent for abcd. In order not to confine me to the table tennis environment in Japan, he has always asked me to refer to the Chinese league. So I don’t quite understand why everyone’s reaction is so great.”

Recalling the scene of being besieged by cameras and microphones at the end of today's game, Zhai Lu was very hesitant: "What level of things have I achieved? Can this level go further?" Will there be a trap ahead? With one foot in the air, she felt unsteady.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is indeed an unsolvable level of trouble, but the good news is that Sugawara can fully understand the point of solving the self-positioning confusion of his girlfriend. This has nothing to do with table tennis, but just a persistent pursuit of something Everyone can empathize with understanding.

He made a gesture of shooting at the stars.

"If you become No.1 in China, you must be the best table tennis player in the world—your father must think so."

Seeing his girlfriend looking up and staring at him, Sugawara turned his eyes brightly: "Midori must have this thought in his heart too." He pointed his finger at the night sky, "Since they are all up, the left and right frames of reference are not so important, right? Draw your sword and look around. If you are at a loss, there is no us!"

The young man is bright and beautiful, but it's a pity that he is too cute to jump around.After a moment of blankness, Zhai Lu covered the side of his face and laughed out of anger, the music was overwhelming.

Finally, the girl stood up and looked up, "—Is the weather good tomorrow?" She asked, Sugawara Takashi watched her standing upright, with clear eyebrows, and the cold wind in the winter night could not extinguish the freshness in her eyes, which was ready to go. and crisp.

Xiaozhi tear mole smiled and nodded: "It's sunny."

On February 2th and 16th, the third and fourth days of the competition schedule, with the sunny and windy weather, it was the hearts of fans of domestic female table tennis players.

In the cycle where she plays comfortably and you lose tears, the commentators who support someone's faction are used to being slapped in the face, and now they can control the bleeding heart and calm down to explain Zhailu's game—anyway The elimination of my own idol can't be changed π.π

"The backhand side cut scored. In this group of contests, both of them controlled very tightly. The whole ball was very skillful and played at a very high level. The side cut itself is an unconventional action. As a young athlete, Kong can play in the It is commendable to take the initiative to break through in the competition."

It is the last game in the afternoon, and it is obvious who can advance to tomorrow's semi-finals and finals due to the current situation.

"... Xiyuan Temple's player rushed out of bounds! Oh, what a pity! At 11:8, Xiyuan Temple's player lost 3-2. Kong's service method changed suddenly. There has been a change, which caught Xiyuanji players off guard. The audience friends in front of the screen thank you for watching. This is Tokyo Gymnasium, Japan, the live broadcast of the penultimate day of the All Japan Table Tennis Championships. So far, the final four of the women’s group has been settled. Tomorrow we will We will bring you exciting semi-finals and finals, so stay tuned!"

Although under the elimination system, the advantage of stronger opponents is getting smaller, but Kong Wenlu is walking steadily like cutting melons and vegetables, and a large number of fans who are fans of Zhailv's ferocious momentum still faintly have expectations-maybe really Can covet the championship and set a record.

You know, there are not no all-Japan champions who are younger than this. There are quite a few in the men's group. Ishihara Yoshiharu, who has won two consecutive championships in the women's group, won the championship at the age of 17, but the point is that everyone else is registered with the Table Tennis Association. For professional athletes, going to school is a subsidiary content, like Zhai Lu, who has been a serious high school student for two years, and who has advanced from the amateur group-no.

Under such a gimmick, the spectators naturally hope to witness the success of the challenge like a fish jumping over a dragon's gate.

However, this metaphor is not entirely accurate——

On the second day, Dao Gongjie, who arrived at the scene, held his chest, his heart was full of excitement for the enthusiasm of the competition scene, and he was full of the same feelings as Zhai Lu.

I have witnessed how my friends hibernate and accumulate energy during the two years of the trough in their sports career - the severe cold and hot summer, spring and autumn, except at school, the time is almost devoted to training, no weekends, no entertainment, such hard work The ordinary high school life is described by the media as being supported by talent to the present level, and it is used as a gimmick-this is too frivolous.

No matter how good the talent is, it is nothing but the soil, and if it is not cultivated, it will still be barren.

For the exhausted voyager, if there is a comparison, it must be a bird similar to Karasuno who has regained strength...

——Relying on the lofty ambitions, according to the talents of the heroes, ninety thousand miles of Fengpeng are just right.

"Senior Kong, come on—"

"midorifighting!!!"

As soon as Zhai Lu entered the arena, he was startled by the very familiar voice. He raised his face and saw that his face was radiant—the family members and Xiaozhi were next to Dao Gongjie, Xiangyang, Xigu, Dadi, Asahi Volleyball Club and the students in the class. All are here, even Teacher Xiao Wu and her favorite English teacher are here.

Father Kong was on the phone at the other end of the field. From a distance, he saw his daughter waving excitedly like a fluttering bird at the phalanx of classmates he had already set a place to invite. He smiled unconsciously, put away his phone and took out his sunglasses Get ready to greet heavyweight guests outside the stadium.

In the media area, Matsumoto, the editor-in-chief of Billiards Communication, listened to the commentators discussing the rationality of the three-year long-term foreign athletes’ participation in the competition policy and the impact on local athletes while listening to the commentators during the semi-final draw. Possibilities, etc., etc., while brushing and memorizing the key outlines filtered out of my mind, I will issue a draft later.

The results of the women's group came out——

Kong Wenlu vs Hirano Ai

Kaharu Ishihara vs Yuka Fukuoka

It can be regarded as the middle pick of the father and daughter. The 32-year-old Hirano player is a stable faction on the verge of retirement.Although the best young player from Fukuoka was not drawn, the boss Ishihara was left at the end.

Hirano Ai's style of play is mature, but the shortcoming is the lack of physical strength and persistence. It is difficult to draw a conclusion as to who will win the two.

At the beginning of the game, Ai Hirano launched a fast break, obviously wanting to make a quick decision. With such momentum, he won the first round, and the second round was also booming.

This is an unprecedented disadvantage...

Matsumoto stopped writing the shorthand. He put down the notebook and looked around to lock on to the coach who used the sunglasses as a marker. He wanted to see his reaction, but he was more surprised than happy—there were two more people beside him. An old man with snow-white hair in a polo shirt, a middle-aged man wearing a travel cap and smoky gray glasses who looks like the head coach of women's table tennis from a neighboring country...

Oh, oh... naturalization, this possibility... Matsumoto thought to himself, he smiled wryly and returned his attention to the field, who always advocated retaining talents, and didn't know whether he wanted Kong to perform well or poorly.

Of course, the situation at both ends of the table usually does not depend on the will of the third person.

Zhailu, who fell into a passive defensive situation, started from 5:9 in the second game and found a routine. The rhythm of Hirano's effective attack was visibly slowed down.

Zhai Lu can also be said to be a player who is good at fast break, but her fast break technique is straightforward and typical, which is a bit short of the thinking trap type fast break of the opponent with more than ten years of experience-that's it.

Time is a fascinating and cruel thing. Hirano Ai wins the experience talk, and the younger generation thinks and responds faster with the reaction speed of more than ten years younger.

UI.Everyone thought that how many hard indicators are there for hitting such a flimsy ball?In a few tenths of a second, Yu Yu Zhailu had deciphered the frequency and routines of the opponent's moves in the blink of an eye, and of course the rest was to drag the opponent down step by step.

Finally, 3-2, Hirano, who had been crushed in the second half, was defeated by the beautiful arc cut by his opponent's left-handed hit that made the audience applaud.

Kong Wenlu excitedly raised her arms and slapped her hands, sweating profusely. The fight was quite difficult, and she felt a sense of accomplishment when she won it. After reflecting on herself for a while, the girl immediately hugged happily with her relatives and friends who leaned out from the sidelines Go to celebrate.

The heavy guest who took this scene into his eyes had a kind face: "This little girl is in a good state of mind, and there will be a finals later."

Father Kong is not good at selling himself and boasting. How could his mentor, the old coach, not understand the apprentice's thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Little Liu, don't make things difficult for him. Just tell me, how is this seedling? Do you accept it or not? "

"Accept! Why don't you accept it!" Coach Liu said sternly, even if the little girl is on tiptoe and can reach the level of the second team, she can accept it.Recalling the change of hands for the last point just now, I have more long-term expectations.

This ball was supposed to lose points, and the change of hands looks foreign, but it is actually a move that is even worse when the opponent changes the line. —The efficiency is low and it is not a practice routine. I have been taught since I was a child that I can't leave my hands, even if my left and right hands are interchanged.

But it's just that this kid who is a steady and steady successor of the inheritance academy has been hit with aura of joy?It is said that there is a two-year window period mainly for independent practice, how can we retain the technology and the wildness of returning to nature at the same time?

right!That's the word, wild.It is also interesting to introduce such a new wind...

There was a lot of discussion, and the dimming of the lights around the venue extinguished the restlessness.

Beside the only table on the stage, the world's highest-ranked female table tennis player outside of China is guarding the ring, and the challenge is a Chinese female high school student who is full of drama.

Waiting with bated breath—the two shook hands calmly, changed shots to check, and guessed first, with a sense of fate-like ritual running through it, just waiting for the magic weapon to be revealed in the air, and the blood will stop——

☆, end

The round ball drew a strange arc on the surface of the raw rubber racket, and the short-haired player's counterattack line went out of bounds—"Kong scored, 10:11, 1-1."

To everyone's surprise...

Evened? !Kong Wenlu blinked at the scoreboard.

The coach on the sidelines of Shi Yuan frowned, and made a pressing motion to the disciple who was exchanging positions.Shi Yuan himself nodded calmly.

As the person who has the most thorough understanding of Kong Wenlu's technical level, Father Kong objectively estimates that the bottom line of her daughter's ability is on the last day, and to what extent she can perform that day, she is indeed doing her best to obey the destiny.

If you ask about the comparison of strength, Zhailu has self-knowledge. Ishihara Jiachun is currently an athlete who can compete with the mid-range players of the Chinese women's table tennis team.

Ping-pong is not as suspenseful as football and volleyball. The tactical thinking and experience in individual competitions are infinitely compressed into one word: level.

Tilting means winning or losing, so the defenders generally have a kind of tolerance for the fledgling challengers, and the pressure is almost infinitely small.

Although the outside world generally has high expectations for the popular Queen Ishihara Yoshiharu to achieve three consecutive championships in this tournament, but she herself has some thoughts on the premise of ensuring the result of victory.

Ishihara played pinball on the table, looking at the focused eyes of his opponent who was only one year younger than himself, and looked forward to the future. Will he become an opponent or a teammate... a long-lost peer who has shown the potential to catch up .

At the beginning of the third game, the tension on the table was extremely tense, and Ishihara's offensive was overwhelming. Kong Wenlu barely resisted with the raw rubber racquet that he only learned last autumn and combined with his usual style of play.

1:0

2:0

……

10:5

In the last minute, Kong Wenlu withstood the pressure to receive the serve, judged the landing point, withdrew his left leg to press the hitting point, and lightly counterattacked to Shi Yuan's backhand. Shi Yuan made a backhand attack and made a mistake.

10:6

The afterimages of ping-pong-pong sounded with the sound of the shutters of the media on the sidelines, creating a strange sense of rhythm.

Kong Wenlu chased hard and stopped at the seventh point. Ishihara Jiachun was superior and won the third game.

The match has been going on for almost half an hour. In addition to the lack of physical exertion in the semi-finals, Kong Wenlu and Ishihara have lost slightly in speed in the final game.

The referee with a wide field of vision keenly noticed that Kaharu Ishihara spins more balls, and the goal of increasing quality and controlling the rhythm of the game is achieved inch by inch——

8:6

The opponent's desire to control aroused Kong Wenlu's strong heart, thinking, eyesight, body, concentration, and sweat layer by layer.Every cell that was mobilized and commanded roared and turned into power at this moment.

The speed of losing points slowed down, and the scoring gradually struggled to catch up.

8:7

The girl swings the racket, hits the ball, and the sparks of the link between the idea and the movement explode in a sudden sudden, breaking through a certain boundary-the nerve endings extend to the racket, and the ball eliminates the breath of the opponent in her own hands. Everything she sees can become a bull's-eye. middle.

Pulling back, moving sideways, the body is ready to burst into the air, and the placement is tricky.

8:8

There was applause from a small area.

The stalemate lasted horribly for a long time. In the nearly 10 minutes of high-intensity confrontation, both of them were sweating profusely and refused to give an inch.Kong Wenlu bites, Ishihara Jiachun twists and pulls, Wenlu draws a reasonable arc again, Ishihara strikes with a forehand, Wenlu waits for a rabbit, Ishihara charges...

Kong Wenlu finally swept the ball in a high arc in Ishihara and rushed forward to return the ball. When he pulled back, he caught the upper part of the ball and forced the ball to the corner of the opponent's bottom line.

8:9

The shutters rushed like summer cicadas, and Kong Wenlu took advantage of the momentum to score another point in a row.

8:10

——10 points, which is also her score at the end of the game fifteen minutes later.

Ishihara Jiachun did not give her a chance to equalize the situation at the critical moment, and broke out to sweep 3 points all the way, returning triumphantly.

3-1, the game ended.

四局比分分别是：11:5，10:11，11:7，11:10。

The women's group of this year's All Japan Table Tennis Championships has come to an end—it can be called wonderful, the results are hearty, and there is still more to say.

Breathing calmly, the two female athletes shook hands in a friendly way, and made an appointment for the next time. The intermittent applause and applause from the audience grew stronger, and the moment they waved to the supporters, they seemed to break through the roof.

It's great to be here...

While wiping her sweat, she heard the fans she had never met call her name in rhythm. Kong Wenlu closed her eyes and raised her head on the sidelines, covering her mouth with clasped palms. There was a faint smile hidden in the corners of her eyes and palms.

The warm tones under the rubbings of the lamps in the dome are in the eyes, and there are voices calling from the ears.A faintly bright road... Next time, make a promise with yourself that you won't have any regrets.

... and will no longer be alone.

"midori—"

Wen Lu opened his eyes, and saw Takashi Sugawara standing in front of him in the light—the boy’s smile was as clear and clear as a prairie stream in melting snow, and there was a trace of tears between his eyebrows and eyes—stretched arms, He opened his arms to her.

So she laughed and jumped forward while tears couldn't stop falling.

For the most unyielding struggle in this lush youth.

For the love and sweat of their mutual understanding,

For that person who is occasionally apprehensive but always silently expects, there is your future.

——Let’s let the emotion overflow for the time being, make wine with tears, sing long songs and give blessings.

The young man hugged his sweetheart firmly in his arms, Kong Lan's camera was full of warmth to freeze this scene, and next to this photo in the future album, there may be a group photo of his partners under the warm spring sun, cherry blossoms in April Graduation commemoration, farewell waving goodbye, candid professional training while busy, laughing and laughing with college classmates...

Maybe there will be more, with tears of love, on the podium, in the church... In many imaginable and best visions, they have each other and walk hand in hand.

☆、Fanwai 4 · Uncontested Words

Fragmentary brain-hole jokes with chaotic timelines.

【Some secondary ideas】

*Confucius, as a good man who is very cool to the whole world, very considerate and gentle to his family and elders, and very tolerant and protective of his disciples, it is not difficult to imagine that he must light up the "killer of middle-aged women" and "Master, my heart Friend" and other attributes.

＊Suga’s parents’ names are Sugahara Mayzuki and Sugahara Miyuki. The feeling of “the meeting and change of the seasons leads to the tributaries on the grassland” is based on the two-dimensional characters I like Shishio Mayzuki and Tachibana Tachibana. It's a brain supplement, and it can be regarded as a good match for Lalang. By the way, I recommend "Daytime Shining Meteor" and "AngelBeats!".

＊Suga’s future major, I think it will be medical research, as an analytical research and development talent.I also joined the volleyball club in college, but my roommates were puzzled why he posted posters of foreign female table tennis players on the wall 233

【Meet four years later in midsummer】

Say goodbye to Chungao with the semi-final results.

Climbing up the stairs, the third graders, who achieved their goals step by step, hugged their heads and cried, and then the regrets disappeared. It was Hinata, who was still like a salt-steamed orange before the return journey, with red eyes, looking at Shimizu Daichi Sugawara who officially handed over the affairs of the club Dongfeng and the others were at a loss.

The regret of losing the game mixed with the melancholy of the seniors who graduated and left, leaving Hinata Xiangyang in a kind of empty loss, sniffing his nose repeatedly to hold back the sourness in his eyes.

For the first time, a collective with a sense of belonging to the volleyball that I love wholeheartedly... The attributes of teammates and comrades-in-arms are still heavy after all.

"Let's say goodbye with a better expression, Hinata." Yamaguchi patted his teammates on the back, obviously getting Hinata's emotions, and he also looked like he was suppressing tears. Seeing this, Teacher Xiaowu hugged the two of them and comforted them: " There will be many such regrets and remorse in the future, rather than getting used to it, it is more important to connect."

"Connect?" Yamaguchi asked puzzled.

"Yes. Remember the regrets and regrets now, and link them with the expectations of your predecessors and your own wishes. In the next year, the year after, or even in the distant future... come here to overthrow it on the court." Takeda directed at the magnificent Gymnasium made a grasping gesture, with a smile, "Didn't you say last time that you would regret it many times before you won the Olympic gold medal, Hinata?"

"That's...!" Now Hinata also understands how naive his original thoughts were, but...he looked at Kageyama, who took a step ahead and became a U19 candidate. He must also fulfill his original vow...to become the longest standing person on the field !

"Next year, the year after, four years later." Kageyama, who was obviously also focused on this group of people, had serious eyes, and Hinata almost understood the other party's words at once.

"2020...Tokyo with the five-ring flag flying..." Kong Wenlu on the side was also touched, holding his hair and looking at the sky at the beginning of night.

At that time... definitely...

【Occasion for drunkenness】

"Filial...branch...?"

Kong Wenlu didn't dare to move, and looked at him with some apprehension.She rarely sees Sugawara drinking, let alone getting drunk.The gray-haired young man's lips were too rosy from the alcohol, and the amber iris was shining brightly on the person in his arms. His concentration was so focused that his scalp went numb, making him feel like he was being targeted by some large predator.

"Do you want me to buy some hangover hangover?" She asked softly, and Sugawara buried his head in the crook of her neck, shaking his head violently childishly, rubbing against the two of them so that their hair entangled, and they hugged each other tighter.

"Xiaozhi..." Kong Wenlu called him helplessly, and his accent, which had been tempered to a standard, subconsciously softened.Sugawara turned his head and stared intently—the normally indomitable warrior with compelling and heroic looks, now only showed his little daughter's tenderness to himself, and his eyes were moist and expressive.The fact that it was only blooming for one person made the gray-haired young man tremble with satisfaction, and his little thoughts exploded... So he kissed her sweetly while murmuring hot...

When someone regained consciousness and received a zero-distance impact, her boyfriend looked at her with a hazy smile—the hair was soft, the shirt was open and the chest was white. "Midori..." The young man's pleading voice was hoarse, and the tear mole was dazzled, so why... charm?Kong Wenlu's mouth was dry and his head was a little messed up, and he instinctively struggled to get out of this obviously beautiful and delicious scene.

"Stay here tonight...?" Sugawara asked as if discussing.

………………

…………

...Is this a stay♂night meme?

Zhai Lu's brain hole was so shocking that it collapsed into shape in an instant with a crash and woke up her reason. She was silent for three seconds, and jumped up from the bed——the lord was still in a daze.

Smiling, she smoothed her hair, then bent down and kissed the corner of her boyfriend's eye: "It's comparable to Diarmuid's tear mole, I was almost fascinated by you." She shook the blanket to cover Sugawara's belly, If you haven't broken your filial branch, you probably have a good capacity for alcohol... Otherwise, people who are really drunk won't have this physiological phenomenon, hehe.

【Gift to him】

The newspaper used the four words of highlight moment to accompany the photo of Tsujido sitting in the auditorium pushing sunglasses, and the scene where Kong Wenlu scored the last point of the final and defeated her teammates.

A pair of father and daughter, two nationalities, the highest arena.How much saliva was wasted by the media discussing such topics. Father Kong has heard about it, and while he is pleased with his daughter's achievements, he also has a headache for Wen Lu's carelessness.

For example, the following situation -

In the lounge of the Chinese team, Zhai Lu gave his father a bear hug with bright eyes, took off the gold medal roughly, and hung it around Tsujido's neck.

"So many years! The gift I want to give you the most!" The daughter laughed so hard that her teeth could not see her eyes, her voice was a little high-pitched with excitement, and she poked at Father Kong's heart like a small dart, bubbling with warmth, even originally wanted to say pay attention The influence, the silly girl's warning, was also left behind.

He patted his daughter's head reflexively, but choked up when he wanted to say something.

How could everyone in the room not know the helpless past of nationality selection and career development in the sports world, and they all pretended not to see the man's wet eyes.

At this moment, there is no distinction between countries, and some are just family scenes.

And the so-called highlight moment...

- Achievement may be glory, but in the end it is always love.

【School Uniform Exchange】

A high school in Japan held a "Gender Swap Day". Boys and girls can voluntarily exchange school uniforms of the opposite sex. This event aims to let students jump out of their gender and re-examine themselves and the society from a different perspective.

In short, it is such an origin.

"...I feel my legs are so cold." The boy Sugawara, who was braided by a girl in his class, complained to the stunned earth with a face full of tears.

"You, do you want?" Dadi pulled the black stockings up to his thighs, his face was like the bottom of a pot, and he successfully shut up his friend.All the boys in women's clothing in the classroom were mysteriously silent, and it took a long time to recover from the influence of the new image.

The discussion outside the classroom was getting closer and closer. It was at this time that the representative of the English class, Uno, opened the classroom door and held the mobile phone while shooting backwards, while shouting: "Squeeze your expression!! Kong~"

The gray-haired boy stared dumbfounded at the new appearance of a boyish version of his girlfriend—his hair in a hat (props from the drama club), eyebrows like ink (painted eyebrows), and a man’s school uniform that looked tall and straight (with internal heightening bonus) .This is really the collective achievement of the girls in class four of three years. After discovering that Kong Wenlu, the tallest in the class, was unexpectedly suitable for men's clothing in the morning, everyone enthusiastically carried out further processing and came up with a lot of ways to play...

The naughty male student in the class whistled: "Your boyfriend is super handsome~"

"Ah!" Sugawara came back to his senses and made a cute and heart-shaking gesture with a very entertaining spirit, blinking his eyes: "I think so too~"

"Pfft——" The whole classroom erupted into laughter. Facing this situation, Zhai Lu couldn't bear it. She slumped her shoulders and took off her hat to cover her face. She was so shy that she wanted to burrow into the ground, but her teammates were too fierce, forcing her to wallow Sugawara.

In the end, the two successfully posed for a photo of a couple who did not violate each other, and then Sugawara turned his back on the wall, smiling with his forehead touching and his white teeth shining: "Maybe this is the parallel universe where the sex changes." His eyes were clear. Chuoyue, in an instant, the girl felt a sense of appropriateness in her heart, and she pursed her lips and smiled.

I thought so too...

Countless world lines are willing to meet you.
