At the age of eighteen, Amanda, a Chinese orphan adopted by the Wigeland couple, started her journey back to China to find her relatives. In a dilapidated training hall, she unexpectedly met Ke Ning, who had become a trapped beast due to suspension.
With no language skills and no athletic talent, she recklessly broke into his territory and became his only sparring partner.
During those uninterrupted hours, he stood against the light and taught her Chinese stroke by stroke. He held her fingertips with his bony hands and wrote the three words "Yun Wanzhou" for her. Then she leaned closer, his warm breath brushing her ears, like the night wind whispering: "The boat means the way home."
He also taught her what it means to sink deeper into the night. She once thought that those "private sparring sessions" where sweat and panting were intertwined were his secret tenderness.
Until on a rainy night, through a door, his frivolous laughter broke everything: "Little foreigner, it's just for fun, do you still take it seriously?"
Seven years later, the peak showdown at the World Championships.
Ke Ning dragged off the gold medal after winning the championship, and amid the global uproar, she blocked the beautiful translator Yun Wanzhou who was about to leave the show between the broadcast truck and him.
"Yun Wanzhou," his voice was hoarse and his eyes were scorching, "Back then, you still missed the last ball."
She pressed her fingertips against his oppressive chest, slightly hooked her red lips, and counterattacked in his ear with the language he was most familiar with: "Do you want me to learn from you that you are now... More tricky in your 'placement' and faster in your 'stalemate' rhythm, player Ke?"
