Chapter 806 Southern Hemisphere

bang. bang.

The sound of the wheels hitting the rails echoed in the streets and alleys, accompanied by the sound of bicycle bells, as if the children shouted "sharpen the scissors, sharpen the scissors".

Gao Hongli took half a step forward and protected Jiang Yanyun. Both of them stopped and looked at the yellowed tram that appeared at the end of the street.

Staggering all the way, driving unhurriedly, the conductor standing at the front of the car grasping the railing to embrace the breeze, wearing a retro newsboy hat from half a century ago, the ticket clip dangling around his neck, you can still see The paper tickets rattled in the wind, showing a kind of retro romance.

bang! bang!

The trams whizzed by, and the hot air waves surged along the front of the car to the sides, and every pore could clearly feel the breath of summer.

Then, it drifted away.

"They also seem to be really unhurried. The pace of life has completely slowed down. I even saw someone sitting on the tram reading a newspaper."

"Compared with New York, it's like a vacation here. I saw someone wearing beach shorts and a swimming ring sitting on the tram that day."

Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun were exchanging their knowledge. Unknowingly, the lines of their shoulders relaxed, and the curve of the corners of their mouths rose slightly.

Do as the Romans do.

They also slowly began to enjoy the holiday atmosphere of the southern hemisphere.

In fact, they've been in Melbourne for a whole week, and they haven't been able to fully relax into vacation mode until now.

According to the calendar, this year's Australian Open is from January 19 to February 1, and the traditional Chinese Lunar New Year will not be New Year's Eve until February 18.

The time is staggered and should not be missed.

But the schedule of professional players is not that simple. Sampras and Agassi must arrange follow-up matches based on Gao Wen's performance at the Australian Open.

According to the plan, on February 23, Gao Wen will go to Dubai to participate in the competition. He has already completed the registration and is warming up for the North American spring hard-court season that will kick off in March. The two masters in Indian Wells and Miami are undoubtedly The most important, no one wants to miss.

If Gao Wen does not perform well in the Australian Open and is out in the first week, then they must adjust their plans accordingly, and must also participate in the week of February 16, either in Marseille, France, or Delray Beach in the United States—

Being eliminated one week in advance also means returning to the training ground to practice one week in advance, and it is also necessary to re-compete one week in advance to prepare for the follow-up.

In other words, everything is uncertain, everything is to be determined. For professional tennis players in China, this is the case every year. Going home for the Spring Festival is not an easy task.

After discussion, Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun agreed to Gao Wen's invitation. They flew to Melbourne not only to accompany Gao Wen in the competition, but also to enjoy a one-month vacation for the Chinese New Year holiday.

The situation at the Australian Open and the US Open is completely different. Gao Wen is now worth tens of millions. Although Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun still refuse to retire, they still hope to have their own lives instead of just sitting around at home all day long. Mind enjoying some vacation.

What's more, Australia in January is summer. Who can refuse to leave the cold winter of the northern hemisphere and rush to the sunshine of the southern hemisphere?

The most important thing is that for professional tennis players, the schedule and training are full throughout the year, and they have almost no time to spend with their families. Because of this, many family members of professional tennis players have given up their jobs and traveled around the world with them , compete together and live together.

Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun didn't have such plans, but at least they were able to arrive at the scene of the four grand slams every year to accompany Gao Wen.

Therefore, Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun came to Melbourne early, even earlier than Gao Wen.

When Gao Wen was still competing in Doha, they had already set off.

Tobias has already rented a small villa near Melbourne Park. In addition to Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun, Gao Wen's entire coaching team will also live here. The couple will become the first in this small villa. occupants.

In just a few days, Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun were not idle. They explored the surrounding streets and residential areas, looked for neighborhoods where Chinese lived together, and explored the way from their residences to the competition venue. Every day was full of arrangements.

In Gao Wen's words, "This is not a vacation, it's simply a change of place to live, and I'm still busy."

But Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun enjoyed it.

Jiang Yanyun said strongly, "We are acting as qualified tourists, okay?"

Obviously, last time in New York, everything happened so suddenly that neither Gao Hongli nor Jiang Yanyun could really enjoy New York; but this time in Melbourne, the two couples are learning how to enjoy their vacation after learning lessons.

Bang dang... bang dang...

After a short stop at the station, the tram continues its journey, and then the street reveals its original appearance.

The dark red brick walls, arcades, colorful graffiti, mottled and stains hidden in the corners record the footsteps of time.

The old Victorian-style church is located directly opposite, and it seems that you can see the place where the story of Jack the Ripper happened just around the corner.

However, when you turn around, you can see the ivory-white modern buildings soaring into the sky, and the offices are stacked one after another like a honeycomb. The bustling scene of the modern century.

Ancient and modern, just meandering along a street like this, one left and one right staggered to reflect each other, standing under the scorching sun, it is inevitable to feel a little dazed, time seems to be distorted and dislocated like this~lightnovelpub.net~Walk In a space where magic and technology coexist, it is easy to get lost if you don't pay attention.

Snapped.

Red lights evolve into green lights.

Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun crossed the road along the crosswalk. After only two streets, the crowded vehicles, dense crowds and towering buildings all disappeared. Smudged in the color.

Melbourne Park.

The fresh and natural air, mixed with the heat of the hot summer, rushes towards our faces, and we can vaguely capture the breath of sea water. It seems that even the air has turned into a dark blue color. Immerse yourself in this boundless blue.

Located on the south side of the most prosperous and noisy central business district in Melbourne, Melbourne Park has become an urban oasis just like Central Park in New York.

Not only has it become a small resting place for people to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city; it has also become the most eye-catching resort in Australia.

Because, the annual Australian Open is held here!
