He straightened up, gently wrapped his hands around Tang Yu's shoulders, and with a slight pull of his fingers, gently drew her closer to him, a sly glint in his eyes.
"That's because after I took off my glasses, my vision became blurry and hazy, so I subconsciously wanted to get closer to you and see you more clearly."
After hearing this, Tang Yu immediately pushed Meng Yanchen away.
"You're so annoying, I was just flirting with you!"
Meng Yanchen laughed out loud. He took a step forward and embraced Tang Yu, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist, and laughed heartily.
"I was just kidding you. How could I possibly have innocent eyes at a time like that?"
Every time you take off my glasses, my heart races like it's going to explode.
Tang Yu raised her eyes and chuckled softly.
"Some people... clearly have desires hidden behind their glasses, but insist on pretending to be refined."
Meng Yanchen remained silent, simply smiling as he went to pay the bill.
After buying a bunch of things, Tang Yu's eyes gleamed with cunning. She took Meng Yanchen's hand and proposed her next shopping plan.
"Let's go buy ties."
Meng Yanchen looked puzzled and asked Tang Yu curiously, holding her hand.
"I didn't bring a suit on this vacation, so buying a tie doesn't seem necessary, does it?"
Tang Yu's lips curled slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. "You'll understand later."
After boarding the yacht and heading out to sea, Tang Yu led Meng Yanchen to the surfboard.
The sea breeze howled, and the waves rose and fell, as if warmly inviting them to embark on this thrilling adventure.
Tang Yu skillfully stepped onto the surfboard, her movements light and agile. She turned to look at Meng Yanchen, her eyes full of encouragement and expectation, and gestured for him to come over.
Meng Yanchen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and carefully stepped onto the surfboard.
As soon as his feet touched the narrow plank, he felt his body begin to sway uncontrollably, and his heart pounded.
A small wave crashed in, causing the surfboard to tilt violently. Meng Yanchen exclaimed in surprise and instinctively stretched out his arms to hug Tang Yu's waist tightly. The muscles in his arms were tense with tension, and his fingers almost dug into her waist.
Tang Yu felt the strong force around her waist and couldn't help but laugh so hard she almost fell over. The sound of the waves couldn't drown out her cheerful laughter. "Meng Yanchen, relax!"
She laughed and shouted, trying to ease Meng Yanchen's tension.
However, Meng Yanchen only felt the swaying seawater all around him at that moment, and he couldn't hear anything else.
Another slightly larger wave surged in, lifting the surfboard high before it quickly fell back down. Meng Yanchen hugged Tang Yu even tighter, his entire body almost pressed against her back, his face nearly buried in her neck.
Tang Yu steadily adjusted her posture, her legs as if rooted to the surfboard, her hands firmly gripping the handles at the front, and resolutely charged out into the waves with Meng Yanchen.
The waves crashed heavily against the surfboards again and again, the splashing water like sparkling pearls falling on them, bringing a refreshing coolness.
At first, Meng Yanchen kept his eyes closed and could only passively experience the intense impact of speed and passion.
But as Tang Yu calmly navigated the waves time and time again, Meng Yanchen's heartbeat gradually stabilized, and he slowly began to adapt to the ups and downs of the rhythm.
Although he was still holding Tang Yu tightly, he finally mustered up the courage to open his eyes slightly.
In an instant, a magnificent seascape came into view.
The azure sky and the azure sea merge into one in the distant horizon, their boundaries indistinguishable.
The waves shimmered under the sunlight, like a vast expanse of flowing diamonds.
The sea breeze gently caressed his face, blowing away all his worries and fatigue.
Meng Yanchen felt an unprecedented sense of openness in his heart, as if all the pressure and constraints had vanished at this moment.
He looked at Tang Yu, who was full of energy. Her hair, which was tousled by the sea breeze, was flying wildly, and her smile was as bright as the sun, illuminating the whole world.
A surge of indescribable emotion welled up within him, and Meng Yanchen smiled as he gently kissed his hair.
"I don't know why, but I feel a sense of freedom and relaxation that I've never felt before."
"Was it more fun than when I took you bungee jumping before?"
Meng Yanchen smiled and nodded: "This is even more fun."
"Then wait for me to get certified. After the US Open, I'll get my skydiving license in the US, and then my paragliding license. Then I'll take you flying!"
These words made Meng Yanchen laugh uncontrollably.
"You learn sports so easily, why is math and physics so difficult for you?"
Tang Yu's lips curled into a sly smile, like a cat that had just stolen some fish.
"Because I am a free spirit and love freedom, I fell in love with you, and my thoughts became completely chaotic."
Like Schrödinger's cat, when learning math and physics, one can never be sure whether they understand or not.
Meng Yanchen was slightly taken aback, but the smile on his lips did not fade, and his eyes became even more gentle.
He moved closer to the other person, and droplets of water fell from his hair, sliding down his cheeks and landing precisely on Tang Yu's bare collarbone.
"Ayu," Meng Yanchen called softly, his voice seemingly squeezed from the depths of his soul, carrying a hint of weariness yet full of longing.
"You are the 'butterfly effect' of my life. With a slight flap of your wings, my world is turned upside down."
Chapter 18 Meng Yanchen 18
After enjoying their rare leisure time at the beach, the two went their separate ways as soon as their vacation ended.
Tang Yu rushed to the United States without stopping to begin closed training and devote herself wholeheartedly to preparing for the US Open.
Meng Yanchen, on the other hand, returned to Beijing and plunged into a busy vortex of studies and investments, striving for his future.
The two were busy with their own careers, but Tang Yu's career was different from Meng Yanchen's.
As a rising star in the tennis world, Tang Yu's popularity has skyrocketed since she made a stunning debut at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year and won the championship.
Especially in China, the popularity was phenomenal, attracting a large number of viewers who were not originally interested in tennis.
Incidentally, this caused sales of tennis-related products to skyrocket, like they were on a rocket.
That's why, for every match she played afterward, the domestic media were on fire, broadcasting the entire match live and not missing a single detail.
At first, when she won the Australian Open, everyone simply admired her dashing figure on the court.
But who would have thought that she would also win the French Open and Wimbledon?
This immediately changed the public opinion both at home and abroad.
While some media outlets abroad acknowledge her genius, many others subtly fabricate stories about her using performance-enhancing drugs.
Domestically, Tang Yu was truly hailed as a superstar, achieving three consecutive Grand Slam titles. What does that even mean?
In everyone's eyes, she was like a star descended from heaven, destined to dominate the headlines of the sports world that year.
So, no sooner had Tang Yu set foot on American soil than the domestic media followed, like a group of sharks smelling blood, trying every means to dig up exclusive news.
CCTV even wanted to create a documentary specifically for her, but that's unnecessary.
Tang Yu also gave a tactful answer: they would record it again before the Olympics next year.
Those sports reporters who have dealt with her for years all understood what she meant.
This girl is absolutely certain of winning the Olympic gold medal.
With this overwhelming publicity campaign, domestic media outlets and the brands that Tang Yu has signed with are all eagerly hoping that she can win the US Open and achieve this prestigious Grand Slam.
Netizens also joined in the fun, leaving various jokes and comments online.
“Every time I watch Queen Tang play, my heart feels incredibly calm and I feel a great sense of happiness.”
"Yes, watching others play is so exciting, full of twists and turns, it really challenges my heart."
“I’m different. Before, when I watched a game, I thought I was unlucky because I saw who was going to lose. But ever since Queen Tang appeared out of nowhere, my bad luck has disappeared!”
"Hehe, following the sports world is so satisfying! Achievements, platforms, endorsements, data, our Queen Tang is absolutely dominant in every aspect. Who's really enjoying it?"
Amidst this uproar and heated discussion, as soon as the US Open began, domestic live broadcast cameras focused on the match.
Good heavens, the ratings went crazy, higher with each episode, skyrocketing and completely off the charts.
The media couldn't contain themselves as soon as the semi-finals ended.
Prepare the victory press release well in advance, filled with praise and effusive compliments, just waiting for the moment the champion is born to send it out with one click.
As for the manuscript that narrowly lost, although a symbolic copy was prepared, everyone knew perfectly well that it wasn't taken seriously at all, and it was just a hastily put-together piece.
On the day of the finals, Tang Yu strode confidently into the arena, exuding an aura of immense power.
With a smile on her face, she waved gracefully to the audience, and in an instant, the entire stadium erupted in cheers and excitement.
There are already many Chinese people in New York, so when people see Tang Yu, they immediately feel a sense of kinship.
Cheers erupted in Chinese, giving Tang Yu a fleeting illusion of playing on home soil.
Meng Yanchen always attends the finals in person, and this time was no exception.
Tang Yu glanced at the audience and spotted Meng Yanchen immediately. She waved to him gently.
The director, with his sharp eyes, immediately switched the camera to Meng Yanchen's face, where Xiao Yixiao couldn't help but laugh, his face crinkling with laughter.
Meng Yanchen was so nervous that his whole body tensed up. He sat upright and forced a smile, afraid that the media and netizens would overinterpret his behavior.
The CCTV commentators were equally enthusiastic; upon spotting the shot, they immediately began explaining it on the live broadcast.
"The man the camera just focused on is Tang Yu's boyfriend, a top student from Tsinghua University. The two have been classmates since high school."
Throughout the entire journey, her boyfriend was always there to cheer Tang Yu on during each final round…
Back in China, Tang Yu's parents sat glued to the television, not daring to blink, afraid of missing any of their daughter's wonderful moments.
Fu Wenying also started a live stream for the first time ever, sitting on the sofa with a somewhat complicated expression.
Meng Huaijin walked over with a cup of tea. Seeing his wife's expression, he teased, "Didn't you always ignore this? What, have you changed your mind and started watching Tang Yu's competition too?"
Fu Wenying snorted lightly: "After paying attention for so long, I naturally became curious about whether she could win the championship today."
Meng Huaijin took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
“Our son is still just a college student, and his girlfriend is already a top global athlete. Yan Chen has a really good eye.”
