Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

This description made Tang Yu laugh again, because her fans even joked on the forum that there was no runner-up in Sister Yu's life.

"Actually, I've lost a lot of games, but for me, I'll fight even harder if I make it to the finals."

So far, Lady Luck has probably been on my side, because I didn't encounter any surprises in the finals and was able to win the championship smoothly.

After answering this question, the program team released some photos of Tang Yu participating in badminton competitions in the past.

"Have you ever thought about what your life would be like if you hadn't learned tennis back then?"

"This may sound a bit narcissistic, but that's really what I think."

If I had persisted in badminton back then, I would be the world's number one female badminton player now. I believe I have that ability.

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Yang Lan smiled and spoke up.

"You became the world's number one tennis player after only a few years of training, which shows that your talent in sports is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people."

But you had specific reasons for choosing to become an athlete back then, right?

Tang Yu nodded, and then brought up her parents' divorce.

“After they divorced, they planned to leave me at my grandmother’s house to fend for myself. I thought I might not have enough to eat, so I volunteered to enroll in a sports school because it provided food and lodging.”

Tang Yu spoke in a very relaxed tone, and Yang Lan also asked about it.

Do you feel that the unexpected events in your life have actually led you down a path to success?

"I don't think so. If I won the lottery by accident, it might be an opportunity in my life."

But I became a professional tennis player and won many championships, not because my parents treated me badly back then, but because I was hardworking and self-disciplined.

Except during the off-season, I practice tennis every morning when I wake up. I practice 300 days a year. I think that with this kind of self-discipline, even if I hadn't become an athlete, I could have made a name for myself in other industries.

I won't thank my parents for abandoning me because of my current career success.

After Tang Yu answered the question, the program played the famous car accident from that year, as well as the results of the police investigation.

The case has long since been settled, and Tang Yu rarely responds directly to it.

After all, as an athlete, people would rather see her achievements than constantly reminiscing about her tragic childhood in front of the media.

"Your playing style on the court is domineering and confident, and you even have the nickname 'Killer Jade'."

You are a humorous and confident person in real life. In a poll of sports journalists, you were the person they most wanted to interview.

Everyone who has met you can feel your positive and optimistic attitude towards life. In fact, very few people would have thought that your upbringing was like this.

That car accident shocked the world and made everyone understand why you were cold and unwilling to talk to your parents.

I'm actually quite curious, is your optimism innate, or due to some special reason?

Tang Yu had been asked this question by reporters abroad, and this time she answered it seriously once again.

Before I started reading and writing, I had many questions about society. I didn't understand why my neighbor's parents were different from my parents, why my parents didn't like me, and why they argued every day.

But all my confusion and questions were resolved after I started reading and learning to write. In fact, the answers to the rules of how society works can be found in books.

But after seeing through the essence of the problem, I actually became stronger, because I had the ability to solve these difficulties.

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Yang Lan pressed for more details.

"So you enjoy reading in your daily life?"

"Of course, reading can also improve my judgment on the field, but I don't read self-help books, and I don't recommend that everyone read self-help books."

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Yang Lan was amused.

"When the car accident happened, did you ever think that it wasn't an accident? I remember many reports later said that if you hadn't immediately turned around, it was very likely that the car would have been destroyed and you would have died."

"In those few seconds, I didn't actually have time to think about whether it was an accident or murder."

At that moment, I only had one thought in my mind: how to find the best angle to avoid a head-on collision and minimize the damage to my sister and me.

It's like a basketball game. In the most crucial second, I'm thinking about how to play the game, not what will happen if I win or lose.

This was Tang Yu's first response to what she was thinking when the car accident happened, and Yang Lan was clearly surprised.

"So this is no coincidence; at the moment of the car accident, you were still calculating how to avoid maximum harm?"

"That's right. At that moment, my survival instinct kicked in. I was thinking about which angle would allow me to survive and minimize the impact on the car."

After Tang Yu answered the question, Yang Lan asked a follow-up question.

"Many people say that you are a person with extremely strong willpower. Whether on the field or in life, nothing can easily defeat you."

You never shed a tear on the field, and even after the car accident, you returned to the field with a smile. Now, sitting in front of me, you can talk about these past events with ease.

Is it because you see tears as an expression of vulnerability? Or are these things truly not worth making you sad?

Media outlets have commented that Tang Yu didn't seem particularly excited after winning the championship; it was as if winning was a given.

It is indeed flamboyant and domineering, but the emotions are not dramatic enough.

"Maybe I'm a cold-hearted person. When I see other people's stories, I might shed tears, but when I see my own stories, I can analyze them very calmly."

But I don't think tears are an expression of weakness. Many times, I just feel that if I start to cry, the people around me will feel heartache, and I will get used to protecting them as a protector.

But my husband and sister often tell me that they want me to live a more carefree and independent life because they will protect me.

Chapter 32 Tennis Entertainment

After Tang Yu answered the question, the program played footage of the two meeting for the first time, with Zhang Ruoyun catching Tang Yu's hat.

It was an accident; a sudden gust of wind blew by, and that's how the two met.

Later, the two registered their marriage after they turned twenty and twenty-two, respectively.

This incident shocked the national media at the time.

"I remember you publicly admitted in the media that you registered your marriage the day after your husband turned twenty-two."

In other words, you went to register your marriage on whatever legally permitted date. Some people think this is youthful impetuosity, while others think it's just youthful romance.

But I think everyone is curious why you two chose to get married so early, because young people these days seem to prefer enjoying the feeling of dating.

Tang Yu responded with a smile.

"It might be because of that car accident. Before that, we weren't in a hurry to get married because we were often together. Apart from not having legal documents, our life was pretty much like that of an ordinary married couple."

But after that accident happened, he rushed to the hospital. As my boyfriend, he had no right to ask me more details about the surgery, nor did he have the right to sign the consent form for me.

If I had died then, he wouldn't have been qualified to sign off on my cremation. He couldn't be involved in any legal procedures; he was just an outsider.

"But actually, the only person I trust in the world besides my sister is him. If my sister and I had both died in the car accident, then I would have had to call my mother, because she is the one with the legal authority to sign."

So I chose to become a legally protected couple with him, so that no matter what unexpected things happen to me or him in the future.

We are both people who, legally, can be involved in each other's lives.

After Tang Yu answered the question, Yang Lan asked with a smile.

"It seems this was not an impulsive decision, but a decision you made after careful consideration. You are both geniuses in your respective fields."

When you first met, you uttered the words about Cupid's arrow while accepting the award. Was that a coincidence, or did you already have a premonition that this person was special to you?

Tang Yu smiled brightly when she thought of this.

"I don't think this can be described as love at first sight. In fact, we didn't officially become a couple until the following year."

But when I first saw him, I did have the urge to get to know him and find out his name.

But if he hadn't started pursuing me later, I probably would have forgotten about it.

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Yang Lan continued to ask gossipy questions.

"So how did your husband succeed in pursuing you?"

"Before I even noticed him, he had already been chasing me for several games. When he received my hat, the next day when I went on a trip, he immediately took a taxi and followed me."

Then we visited a museum, then went skiing, then he bought a house in my neighborhood, and finally won me over with his superb cooking skills!

It was a long story, but Tang Yu summarized it simply, and Yang Lan asked about it.

"I imagine you have many suitors, so why did your husband stand out?"

"There are many outstanding people in this world. They are not only good-looking, but also from wealthy families and successful in their careers. However, you may not necessarily get along well with such people."

Because everyone has different interests and hobbies, even two outstanding people sitting together might have nothing to say.

My husband and I have a lot to talk about when we sit together. He describes me as a stand-up comedian, and I describe him as a stand-up comedian. We like to talk nonsense and tell jokes that others don't understand.

How many people in this world can make you smile every day when you're with them? So if you find one, of course you can't let go.

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Yang Lan asked again.

"Some people jokingly say that your meeting was like throwing a bouquet of embroidered balls. Have you heard that saying?"

Tang Yu burst out laughing instantly.

"Actually, the first time was an accident. I just threw it randomly, but the wind chose it. It was probably destined."

My sister later said that I was throwing a bouquet of flowers, and that's not how you describe it; our whole family thinks so too.

This answer made Yang Lan laugh out loud.

"So the second time was really the embroidered ball throwing?"

“I joked with my husband, saying that if I threw the hat into his arms today, we would officially become boyfriend and girlfriend. So he went to the audience and bribed everyone around him.”

But actually, for me, throwing something at a fixed angle is a very simple thing.

So I was just teasing my husband on purpose. Since I had already chosen him, of course he would accept my advances.

After the interview concluded, Yang Lan asked Tang Yu one last question: whether she was confident about the London Olympics next year.

"I'm quite confident, and my competitive form hasn't declined so far."

But unexpected things often happen on the field, so we'll have to wait and see how things go next year.

After these programs aired, viewers gained a different perspective on Tang Yu's tennis career.

A small number of people felt that Tang Yu was somewhat arrogant, but most people felt that this was the confidence that a strong person should have.

If you don't have this mindset and this strong willpower, how could you possibly win championships multiple times on the field?
