Her bed was warm and cozy, and smelled of the familiar orange-scented shower gel.

The real body temperature, and the face so close to his, made Blizzard realize once again that he wasn't dreaming.

"Let me interview you. You'll be partnering with Xin in mixed doubles in a few days. How are you feeling?"

"The desire to win."

"anything else?"

"I want to keep winning."

Sasha spoke earnestly, her voice so clear it was devoid of any impurities, her girlish dreams as pure as distilled water, just as before.

"Go to sleep."

Sasha obediently closed her eyes.

The blizzard lay flat, allowing one to experience the reality and tranquility of this moment.

Big Head is right, Sasha is very powerful. So powerful that amidst all the chaos of the world, her mind is only occupied by the little white ball.

She also has a clear goal: to protect Sasha's purity.

As for Da Tou... there's no need to worry, he'll talk himself out of it.

Why is she so sure?

The companionship between teenagers is a real and tangible experience. Whether the memories are good or bad, they are all necessary experiences for making their minds more mature.

With the German Open just around the corner, Sasha and Xin Ge, Da Tou and Man Yu are all training intensively.

Despite all the noise from the outside world, at this moment they are fighting only for their own dreams.

But of the once inseparable four-person team, only Blizzard remains.

Sasha, Big Head, and Eel have different training routines, and their mealtimes, training times, and sleep times are often different. Blizzard has lost his appetite and can only talk to Sasha a few more times in the dormitory.

"Does your arm hurt again? Is this training okay?" Blizzard helped Sasha apply ice. "I saw the coach apply ice to Eel this afternoon, didn't he?"

"Everyone's training so hard, how can I dare to rest? Ouch—"

Sasha cried out in pain.

Giving your all is the norm for athletes, and Blizzard is an athlete too; she couldn't bring herself to say that she just needed a rest.

Everyone knows that you need to rest when you're tired.

They are athletes, working 365 days a year without a break.

They tirelessly made their way to Bremen, Germany, to begin another match.

During this time, Blizzard was also preparing for their own singles event and didn't pay much attention to their affairs. As long as Qiu Shiyue didn't cause trouble, they would avoid getting involved in other matters.

It has been proven that capable people are capable no matter who they associate with.

The uncle-nephew duo and the powerful siblings both advanced to the finals.

But clearly, Sha Tou has reached the middle of the "divorce period".

When they entered, the Wang siblings were already in position. Sasha passed by them later, and the two looked left and right, up and down, but didn't look at each other.

Whether it's a high-five or pre-match preparation, the relationship is visibly strained.

The team didn't start well, losing two games in a row, with the four short-haired players looking disheveled.

Eel noticed that Big Head wasn't in good form, and during the break, he joked, "Wang, go to the other side, I'll take on 3 of you."

Big Head couldn't help but chuckle.

In the third game, Wang Zha won back a game, but in the fourth game, he still lost.

Big Head's frustration reached a new level.

During the awards ceremony, the partners chatted amongst themselves on camera.

Xin Ge looked down and spoke to Sasha: "Did you two have a fight? I heard from them that WCQ said it was my fault."

Sasha didn't say anything, her expression a mixture of annoyance and amusement.

In the women's singles final, Blizzard was defeated by Sasha again, and looked utterly dejected all the way on the plane back home.

Five days after returning to China, she experienced an upgraded version of utter despair.

I never thought she would become a trending topic one day.

The successor to the Grandmaster: Blizzard

Get out of the national team

Wasting resources Blizzard

Backstage Blizzard

Insider information you absolutely need to know about table tennis players

……

And so on.

"Stop playing on your phone and get back to training."

Sasha snatched her phone and put it in her own pocket. "From today onwards, you are not allowed to go online. You can only reply to messages from family and friends."

Blizzard tried to stand up but couldn't, and didn't force himself. Sasha quickly opened a bottle of water and handed it to him. Blizzard took a couple of sips, and his turbulent emotions calmed down a bit.

"I know these are harsh words, but they are just some netizens, so don't take them seriously. That's how I got through it."

Blizzard looked up. "How did you get here?"

From the moment I started liking them, I saw them being cyberbullied for all sorts of things.

If Sasha loses, people say she's no good; if she wins, they say it's too much of a joke.

Big Head was called a prince for buying a competition spot, and when he went downstairs to pick up takeout, he was scolded for dressing up because he was too handsome.

The trolls couldn't even see the national flag on their clothes, and ignored clarification that they were wearing team uniforms; they just kept attacking them.

Blizzard considers itself an adult; it didn't feel much about the previous small-scale cyberbullying, but this time it's really taken a hit.

Young athletes leave home at a young age, endure the hardships and fatigue of training, and also have to withstand the pressure of online abuse. How do they manage to get through it all?

She remained silent for a long time. Sasha was genuinely frightened, afraid that she would become despondent. She tried to pull her up to ask the coach for leave, but Sasha grabbed her wrist and used it to stand up.

Blizzard opened his arms and hugged Sasha, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said weakly, "Give me some strength."

Sasha quickly realized what she meant and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her back and forth: "Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, to Grandma's bridge..."

Blizzard chuckled and straightened up: "Let's go, let's go train."

This cyberbullying wasn't all negative.

Taking advantage of this situation, Blizzard called for the protection of wild animals and a ban on the private sale, purchase, and consumption of wildlife.

This illogical Weibo post sent Blizzard trending again.

Is she crazy?

Blizzard establishes character profile

Wild animals were used as scapegoats

……

Many people are just watching the spectacle, but few are actually listening – something Blizzard anticipated.

With limited abilities, all she could do was remind her parents to prepare masks, medicine, and alcohol, avoid crowded places, and inform those around them as much as possible.

Sasha's birthday was celebrated, and they even asked her to help with the promotion. They helped her in every way they could, until early December, when Blizzard felt it was about time.

They started to take action.

She considered using her allowance to buy masks, but that would be a drop in the ocean.

So he persuaded his father to negotiate with several qualified mask factories. At that time, there was not a large demand for masks, the price was right, and one deal after another was made.

However, for orders of 200,000, a deposit is required, with a minimum of 10,000.

Her father trusted her completely, doing whatever she said, even if it meant asking each family to pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan.

Ten thousand yuan just went out like that.

She couldn't help but wonder, is this the same father who would beat her into a spicy snack if she used her New Year's money to buy spicy snacks when she was five years old?

Blizzard didn't want to profit from the national crisis, but mask factories also need to make a living, and they wouldn't blindly believe a stranger's words and start producing masks in large quantities.

She could only use a small amount of money to ensure that the mask factory had a certain amount of inventory, enough to meet the initial mask shortage.

The good news is that mask factories are producing them quickly.

The bad news is, the mask factories are producing them too fast!

It's almost time to pay the final payment.
