Just as CoCo had predicted, Coach Xiao noticed that Wang Datou's training performance had not dropped at all from spending time with Sun Yingsha; instead, the kid grew more and more energetic with each session. The expressions on his face were far richer than before, completely lacking the solemn dignity of a world champion.
Yet Coach Xiao remained unsatisfied, though not because of the training itself. It was because Wang Datou never left after finishing his practice, instead squatting on the sidelines to pick up balls for Sun Yingsha.
During mixed doubles practice as well, other men's and women's team members split the ball-retrieval duties roughly fifty-fifty. Only Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha stood completely still while the men's team members gathered all the balls for them.
