There were no lights on in the room, and Helen Pepe was leaning on the lazy chair alone, looking at the full moon and stars in the sky outside through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
This year, Helen Pepe has been seriously troubled by injuries, and her performance has also declined very seriously. At the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, she stopped in the quarterfinals; at the subsequent French Open, she was also eliminated in the quarterfinals; followed by Wen At the US Open, she lost in the third round; at the US Open, although she won the first round, her injuries prevented her from playing in the second round, so she was forced to abstain.
For a professional tennis player, failure to perform well means that the commercial value will drop significantly and the income will be reduced a lot. Especially for a beautiful athlete like Helen Pepe, the competition bonus It will never be her main income. Huge advertising endorsement fees are the bulk of his income.
Of course, even if she doesn't play tennis, Helen Pepe can still gain the favor of many advertisers with her beautiful face and hot figure, or she can go to fashion weeks to show up like those supermodels, and be photographed. There will also be advertising endorsements delivered to your doorstep.
But if Helen Pepe really wanted to be a supermodel, she wouldn't train to be a tennis player every day. The life of an athlete is much harder than that of a supermodel. Players like this who can win Grand Slams work hard and sweat day after day.
Helen Pepe changed her sitting position, but felt a sense of discomfort from the old injury on her hip.
Her injury was strain-related, and caused physical discomfort due to inflammation. This inflammation would not cause substantial harm to her at ordinary times and basically had no impact on her life. However, when she entered the high After intense competition, high-load exercise will make the injury more serious and cause her unbearable pain.
Pepe knows that if she continues to play tennis now, she must cure her hip strain injury. Even if it cannot be eradicated, she must recover to the point that it will not affect her game performance.
Unfortunately, the well-known experts she had seen were helpless. The answers they gave were rest and conservative treatment, and they also needed to stop training and competition. This was unacceptable to Pepe.
"Do we really want to go to the United States to find that person?" Peipei sighed. She actually understood that in this situation, Dai Li might be the only person who could help her.
But deep down in her heart, Pepe has always been afraid of Li Dai. Beautiful players like her have always been the focus of media attention, and the media are also happy to dig into her privacy. No matter where she appears, she is surrounded by people. There may be hidden paparazzi taking photos, so she has always paid great attention to protecting her privacy. At Lawrence's cocktail party, Dai Li saw Pepe's hip injury at a glance, but it made her feel like her privacy had been violated.
"In order to continue playing, I can only try to find Coach Li." Although Pepe was a little reluctant, he still decided to go to Los Angeles.
…
Dai Li handed a document to Helen Peipei and said at the same time; "Miss Peipei, this is the rehabilitation plan I specified based on your situation. It is still based on physical therapy and supplemented by new exercises. There is a question. If so, you can put it forward first and I can make modifications. If there are no problems, we will proceed according to this plan."
Peipei took the document and read it carefully, but as she looked at it, her expression became more and more confused.
Then, Peipei looked at Dai Li with a suspicious look and asked, "Coach Li, I wonder how many rehabilitation masseurs you have here?"
"Many of our coaches here have mastered massage techniques, and they are all excellent. But Miss Pepe, please rest assured that I will personally perform your recovery massage to ensure the best results. " Dai Li said.
"I won't worry if you come to give me a massage in person..." Peipei complained in her heart, but naturally she would not say it out loud. She changed her voice and asked: "In Coach Li's recovery plan, massage is Isn’t it a little too frequent?”
Dai Li was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Peipei was thinking.
Pepe's injured area was her buttocks, so the area that Li Dai wanted to massage was naturally also her buttocks. This position was naturally a relatively private part for women and was not for casual touching by aliens.
Although it was for the purpose of recovering from the injury, it was easy for Li Dai, an old man, to massage the buttocks of a beautiful woman, which could easily lead to misunderstandings. Touching the butt of a beautiful woman may be a benefit for Li Dai, but for Peipei, it is just the opposite. Pepe even subconsciously thinks that Li Dai is deliberately continuing the treatment to take advantage of herself.
If it were an uglier female athlete, she might not have such an idea. For a beauty like Pepe, there are countless men who want to harass her, and there are also many people who want to take advantage of her through various opportunities. So she was more defensive in her heart. When she saw that Dai Li's training plan included more massages, she had already labeled Dai Li a "pervert".
Dai Li felt very wronged in his heart.
In the rehabilitation plan he listed, in addition to massage, there are also other physical therapies and exercise methods, but massage is the main component, because what Li Dai relies on is not those physical therapies and exercise methods, but his rehabilitation massage skills. . The reason why Dai Li was able to ensure the recovery of Helen Pepe from her hip injury was also because he had confidence in his rehabilitation massage.
In other words, without this rehabilitation massage, it would have been impossible for Dai Li to cure Pepe's hip injury; at the same time, the more frequent the rehabilitation massage, the faster Pepe's hip injury would recover. That's why Li Daicai added more massages to the rehabilitation plan, but he didn't expect that Peipei would misunderstand this.
"She wouldn't think that I was deliberately going on to massage her to eat her tofu, right? This is to treat me as a pervert!" Li Dai felt aggrieved in his heart, but when he thought about Pepe's supermodel-like figure, The male hormones inevitably made him a little excited, and he even looked forward to rubbing Peppa's buttocks.
"What are you thinking about? How could you have such a dirty idea? I am a coach, and I must have the professional ethics of a coach. I must be pure." Dai Li bit the tip of his tongue slightly to clear his mind, and then he He said, "Miss Pepe, if you want to reduce the massage, that's okay, but the recovery effect may be compromised. I must inform you in advance."
Although Dai Li put on a very professional expression, Peipei was not moved at all. She had seen too many of those well-dressed beasts who looked like gentlemen on the outside but were actually thinking about how to sleep with her. Peipei took it for granted that Li Dai was deliberately looking for excuses to demonstrate his pervert nature.
"Okay, I understand. Please reduce the frequency of massages for me. I think daily massages should be kept within twenty minutes." Pepe's tone seemed a bit stiff, as if she was warning Dai Li not to mess around. Come.
Dai Li also felt this and could only shake his head with a wry smile.
"It seems that I am really being treated as a pervert!"
