Chapter 887: Then Just Find Someone With Extraordinary Physique and Dominant Genes to Have a Child With!

  • Next Chapter

Let’s not even talk about the face, at least the figure must be up to par, otherwise wearing a fitted tennis outfit would be a joke.

Even so, when Su Zelin and Qiu Wen walked in, they still attracted quite a bit of attention.

Their looks were just too high.

Arriving at the front desk, they reported their reservation information, and soon someone led them to the court.

The floor was made of clay, the designated surface for the French Open. This type of court is not very hard, with a layer of fine sand or powder, relatively soft, which creates significant friction when the ball lands and acts as a cushion for the body. The ball speed is slower compared to cement and acrylic courts, making it more suitable for beginners like Qiu Wen.

From a health perspective, clay generally maintains a certain level of humidity, doesn’t raise dust, and is naturally harmless, unlike acrylics and plastics that have odors, something Qiu Wen is very concerned about.

However, such courts usually charge a high fee. For example, the one booked today costs a hundred bucks an hour, quite expensive.

Stepping onto the court, Teacher Su started with a simple introduction for his female strategist.

“To learn tennis, you first need to learn how to grip the racket. There are four ways: Eastern, Western, Continental, and Two-Handed.”

“The Eastern grip is most suitable for Asians, so let’s just learn this one. This grip is further divided into forehand grip and backhand grip.”

“Let me demonstrate, this is the standard posture for a forehand grip. Follow me and try it out!”

“Hmm, you’re holding the racket too tightly. Relax your fingers slightly; this way, you can be more flexible and control the power better.”

“Great, just keep it like that!”

“…”

“The second thing to learn is serving. There are three types: flat serve, slice serve, and spin serve. An effective serve should be aggressive and vary in speed, power, spin, and placement, but since you’re a beginner and primarily aim to exercise, you don’t need to worry about that much. Let’s start by practicing the flat serve.”

“Throw the ball to a certain height, and the angle should be between the shoulder of your racket hand and your head. Then swing and hit the ball at the right moment!”

“Of course, there’s no absolute standard for throwing the ball; it varies from person to person. Anyway, feel free to use whichever angle feels comfortable.”

“…”

Teaching a genius to learn something is easy. With a casual explanation and demonstration from the slacker, Qiu Wen got the hang of it and proceeded to the official playing phase.

Before long, she was swinging, serving, and hitting the ball with some form, without looking like a beginner. She even tried advanced techniques like slice, spin, volley, and smash shots.

Although it was called playing tennis, Su Zelin acted more as a sparring partner. His shots weren’t at tricky angles, and his power was ordinary.

While Qiu Wen was indeed smart, her body couldn’t keep up with high-intensity sports, prone to muscle strains or ligament sprains.

But even with Su Zelin holding back and taking several breaks, after an hour and a half, Qiu Wen was still drenched in sweat from exhaustion.

“Alright, let’s call it a day!”

For the first time playing tennis, you shouldn’t overdo it, or else Qiu Wen would be sore all over tomorrow.

“Call it a day?”

Qiu Wen noticed something.

“Of course, there will be a next time. Qiu Wen, your physique is a bit lacking, so you need to play more games in the future.”

Su Zelin said seriously.

“I’m so tired, I don’t want to!”

Qiu Wen pouted her cherry lips.

Just playing a game of tennis made her feel like her body was falling apart.

“That won’t do. Didn’t you say before, afraid the next generation won’t be as good as you? A mother’s physique is also very important to their children, you know!”

Su Zelin chuckled.

Qiu Wen had once, when drunk, lost her composure and cried, expressing worries about having a child dumber than herself.

Although partly due to alcohol, there should have been some genuine thoughts mixed in.

“I said don’t bring that up again!”

Qiu Wen gave him a glare, her face slightly flushed.

That was the most embarrassing night of her life.

Then she mumbled to herself softly, “Then just find someone with an outstanding physique and overwhelming genetic traits to have a child with!”

“What did you say?”

The slacker didn’t hear clearly.

“Nothing, I’ll talk about it next time!”

Qiu Wen turned her head.

“We can’t talk about it next time. The key to progress in sports is persistence!”

“Depends on my mood!”

“What would put you in a good mood? Tell me, and I’ll try my best to make it happen for you!”
