Chapter 8, Warm War! HOT Prince vs CLOD Knight
It is necessary to be louder
This guy is clearly blaming me, even a fool can tell that he is angry! Wait! We agreed not to speak at school! We already have enough troubles, we absolutely cannot afford to make more enemies!
You pressed it, it is my computer
Those who make mistakes all claim that it was not intentional
I am fine, let us shake hands and make peace
Hearing Jiang Shaoliu's muttering to himself, Yu Hanyan felt a surge of anger and tightly gripped her phone, then forcefully threw the phone at Jiang Shaoliu.
However, even though I have decided to become the Tower Assault King no matter what, Senior Youhui also said that the future is born from the impossible... But can I really do it...? I need to read all the books in the library for the second exam, and there is only one month left... What about Senior Hanqiuyue? What is he doing now...? The last time I sent a message, he didn't reply, and my call was rejected. Now he has also resigned from the position of class leader of the Tower Assault class... What about Senior Hanqiuyue? What is he doing now...? The last time I sent a message, he didn't reply, and my call was rejected. Now he has also resigned from the position of class leader of the Tower Assault class... Even though he did such excessive things to me, I still feel that he is not a bad person... When will I be able to see him?
Hmph. At that moment, it seemed as if Xun was seen through regarding his inner thoughts, as his cheeks unexpectedly flushed slightly. He turned his head in annoyance, not wanting to pay any attention to Jiang Sholiu
"Wait!" Unable to tolerate such a low-level mistake from herself, Le Xiaolian loudly called out to Shi Xun, "Since I ruined your paper, I will give you my paper..." What bad luck... It seems that tomorrow will be the first time I fail to submit my homework... Le Xiaolian thought, mentally marking an 'X' for herself. Shi Xun turned around to look at Le Xiaolian, his indifferent gaze carrying a hint of mockery. Le Xiaolian thought, mentally marking an 'X' for herself. Shi Xun turned around to look at Le Xiaolian, his indifferent gaze carrying a hint of mockery.
Xiao Yan Feng, still unwilling to give up, shrugged his shoulders and muttered to himself. However, he suddenly came to his senses, turned around, and quickly chased after Jiang Shuo Liu and Wen Zhen Hai, shouting, "Liu! Hai! Wait for me! I also want to go find that kid Shi Xun to settle the score!"
I understand, teacher, please feel free to serve the ball! Le Xiaolian tightened her grip on the racket, her eyes fixed on the ball, eager to try her skills
outward spin serve
A few days later, at the time of dismissal in the afternoon, the iron gate of the rooftop of Deya High School's teaching building was suddenly slammed open with force. Le Xiaolian rushed to the edge of the rooftop railing like a special police officer coming to apprehend a criminal, her anger palpable as she glared down at the bustling campus below, her chest heaving violently like a bellows.
Hmph. At that moment, Xun let out a light snort, and within her indifferent voice surged a wave of anger and passion
I, I have not been on such good terms with him at all!" Le Xiaolian argued loudly, her face flushed red
I apologize, I do not dislike you. It is just that did we not agree not to speak at school? Because of those girls who admire you and Shi Xun, I can hardly focus on my classes. Therefore, shall we adhere to the agreement made under the birch tree?
Weren't you confessing to Shi Xun that day
Since the day when Shi Xun lent her a large stack of reference books in the computer room, Le Xiaolian's fondness for Shi Xun has significantly increased, and she no longer rejects him as she did before
This large birch tree is located on the hillside of Bailin, and it is significantly larger than the surrounding trees, making it easy to find. Le Xiaolian raised her arm and gently stroked the stubbornly upright trunk of the birch tree, looking up at the branches that seemed to stretch into the sky, unable to help but softly exclaim.
Jiang Shaoliu took the towel that Wen Zhenhai handed over, wiped the sweat from his face, and looked at the lush green figure with some confusion as he asked
In the last class, I have already taught everyone about serving in singles tennis. The baseline is the outer line, and the sideline is the inner line. In doubles tennis, however, the baseline is the inner line, and the sideline is the outer line. Moreover, whether in singles or doubles, the serve must be directed to the diagonal area and must land within the front service line. At this point, the physical education teacher looked towards Shi Xun and Le Lian, who were positioned across from each other, and said, "Just now, both of you raised your hands indicating that you can play tennis, so next, you will try to receive my serve!"
I just opened my mouth too wide, and it seems I swallowed a mosquito
I never expected that this person, who seems to have walked straight out of a fashion idol drama, would actually use such an ancient and elegant bookmark! Le Xiaolian, swaying unsteadily while holding a large stack of books thrown at her by Shi Xun, glanced roughly at the titles and widened her eyes in surprise—because all of these are the most important books from the reading list provided by Su Youhui! Is it true that after the worst comes the best?! I have hope for the second qualifying round! It’s all thanks to that bookmark! Hahaha! ... However, that bookmark is indeed mysterious, equivalent to several papers... Perhaps it was given to him by someone very important?
Wow, go Jiang Shuo Liu! Go Jiang Shuo Liu!
Wen Zhenhai elegantly raised his hand and tossed a bottle of mineral water to Xiao Yanfeng, smiling wryly in resignation
Bang—thud! Due to the violent impact, Le Xiaolian's body involuntarily rebounded forward, crashing heavily to the ground, and the racket flew out as well. Shi Xun also lost his balance, retreating several steps before finally colliding against a wooden table at the edge of the court, where he came to a stop.
Oh? Le Xiaolian's mood was as dim as a sinking sun when a voice suddenly rang in her ear! Before she could regain her senses, her hand was gently pressed by another hand, and a soft lip tenderly kissed her cheek
She tucked the ha-ha paper back into her jacket pocket and let out a long sigh towards the sky
"Hmm, I heard it too; the noise is quite loud. It must be that their class is having a tennis lesson," Wen Zhenhai said, taking a sip of mineral water and looking at the crowd on the tennis court.
If the flow is completely illogical, then what are you in relation to the past
Bang! In a flash, the tennis ball was hit back again. This time, Le Xiaolian rushed to the front court, intending to make an aerial interception, but as she swung her racket with force, she awkwardly missed the ball due to her hasty movement.
Talisman
Shi Xun looked at the recovered "hairpin" and then at Le Xiaolian, his previously icy expression softened somewhat.
Today is quite exhausting... My mood is like a roller coaster, going up and down. If my nerves weren't strong enough, I would probably have already collapsed...
Jiang Shaoliu and the other team members encouraged each other by patting each other's shoulders, and applauded their opponents to motivate them to keep going
At this moment, all the students from Class 1 of the high school were excitedly watching the match around the football field. There was also a group of girls dressed in green sports uniforms from Deya High School, standing on tiptoe at a distance, shyly peeking at the impressive figure of Jiang Shuo Liu on the field
This time, I will absolutely not lose
I have worked as a tennis practice partner for others! That should count as being able to play, right?" Le Xiaolian was taken aback for a moment, then straightened up, scratching her head in embarrassment and answering with a bright smile
At the very next second after that figure sent the text message, a woman's phone placed on the desk in the student council office of Xinggao rang. Yu Hanyan lifted her head from a pile of books, frowning in annoyance as she picked up the phone and pressed the keyboard. Subsequently, just like catching a whiff of a delightful floral fragrance, her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a gloating smile appeared on her face.
I never knew that this birch forest was so quiet. Why is that? Why do I feel so empty after that guy left?
Buzz buzz buzz buzz—buzz buzz buzz buzz—Just as Le Xiaolian raised her fist to strike Jiang Shuliu on the head, the buzzing of a mobile phone suddenly rang from Jiang Shuliu's shirt pocket. Le Xiaolian's fist froze in mid-air as if the pause button had been pressed, and Jiang Shuliu, somewhat disappointed, took out his phone. Upon seeing the caller ID on the screen, he slightly restrained the happy expression on his face.
Hmph! This is just the beginning!" Seeing Le Xiaolian's surprised expression, Jiang Shuliu's smile grew even more smug. "Let's open the flower and take a look!" Le Xiaolian curiously unfolded the rose petals and discovered that the white paper was filled with strong and neatly written characters.
Ah—Jiang Shuo Liu! Jiang Shuo Liu has arrived!
"Because the flow has become completely illogical now," Wen Zhenhai said, casting a glare at Xiao Yanfeng, too lazy to pay him any more attention, and turned to quickly chase after Jiang Sholiu.
However, suddenly, a voice sounded from the opposite side of the net.
Reflecting on her tragic fate over the past few days, Le Xiaolian desperately suppressed the surging anger within her chest. She took out the "Haha Talisman" that Jiang Sholiu had given her from her pocket, cleared her throat, and roared at the gloomy sky like a cannon that had been ignited
"Le Xiaolian, I will not allow you to have a comfortable life..."
Standing on the other side of the net, Shi Xun gracefully leaped to the spot where the tennis ball would land, forcefully returning the shot to Jiang Shuo Liu. The entire movement was incredibly smooth and elegant
"The winner can take her to the infirmary!" Jiang Shuo Liu casually pointed to Le Xiao Lian, who was standing dumbfounded beside him. Le Xiao Lian was taken aback, as if struck by a spell, her whole body trembling lightly. When she felt the piercing gazes behind her like arrows, the hairs on her body stood up like a porcupine's quills
Liu, that kid Shi Xun is really arrogant. He knows we are playing football here, yet he still lets his fans shout so loudly, clearly trying to disrupt the game! Xiao Yan had a black headband tied around his head, which held his stiff hair in place like a fence. While he desperately fanned himself by lifting the hem of his sportswear, he walked over to Jiang Sholiu's side, grumbling loudly in displeasure.
Breaking the vow! Breaking the vow! Jiang Suliu, you have seriously broken the vow!
Upon seeing this talisman, I
Recalling the experiences of the day, Le Xiaolian's heart suddenly felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, chilling her to the bone. Without a word, she turned and walked down towards Bailin.
At the moment when Xiao Yanfeng wanted to argue, Jiang Sholiu, who had been watching the tennis court, suddenly threw the towel in his hand at Xiao Yanfeng's injury and unceremoniously walked towards the tennis court. Wen Zhenhai looked at Jiang Sholiu's back in surprise, his eyes wide open, unable to utter a single word. Seeing Wen Zhenhai's speechless expression, Xiao Yanfeng couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.
Bang! Shi Xun had no time to change his strategy for receiving the ball, and could only awkwardly swing his racket with force in an attempt to return the spinning ball to the other side of the net
Wow! Long live Jiang Shuliu! A wave of excited cheers erupted on the field, as Xiao Yanfeng and the other players on Jiang Shuliu's team ran towards him, shouting with enthusiasm as if welcoming a national hero. Even the opposing players couldn't help but applaud Jiang Shuliu's recent shot, genuinely impressed and giving him a thumbs up.
Jiang Shuo Liu is amazing, you are the idol of the tall boys!
Because someone once said, the only way to turn defeat into victory is to overcome the person who has already defeated you
Jiang Shuo Liu—you're such a big fool! However, the roar of Le Xiaolian in the birch forest seemed not to have dissipated yet, and the "Haha talisman" that Jiang Shuo Liu gave her began to come into play.
It is unclear whether it is an illusion, but a faint smile seemed to pass fleetingly across Shi Xun's face
"So... how much have you written?" Le Xiaolian cautiously glanced at Shi Xun from the corner of her eye, harboring a glimmer of hope, "Um, half?"
Do you play tennis
I will show you something good
Lifting her head to gaze at Bailin, she saw the winter-bare birch trees already sprouting new tender green buds. The gentle light of the setting sun resembled the warm smile of a loving mother, quietly reflecting on the small, tender green leaves, calming the anxious heart of Le Xiaolian significantly.
Excerpt from the blog "The Illusory Land of Lotus"
I really have no way to deal with you... Goodbye! Splash! Before she could finish her words, Le Xiaolian felt herself suddenly pulled forward by a force and then fell into a warm embrace
Hahahahahahahaha! Ahーー
Jiang Shaoliu curiously pressed the screen of his phone, and his fingers instantly stiffened as if they had been struck at a pressure point, while a cloud of dark energy, indicative of his dejection, settled on his forehead
Sea, I say to you ... ...
"Hmm, I feel the same way!" Jiang Shuliu said, a cat-like smug smile appearing on his face. He released his hold on Le Xiaolian and, like a victor, crossed his arms with pride. "Truly, my little Kele is the smartest person in the world!"
On the field, Jiang Shuo Liu focused intently on chasing the black and white soccer ball, resembling a nimble and agile snow leopard. Under his control, the ball continuously weaved through the crowd pursuing him, racing towards the fans alongside Jiang Shuo Liu. His face was drenched in sweat, and his tear-streaked cheeks shimmered like beautiful pearls in the bright spring sunshine
Shi Xun appeared to be much more relaxed than Le Xiaolian, resembling a young nobleman on vacation. He leisurely adjusted his racket with his fingers, turning his face slightly to glance at the tense Le Xiaolian from the corner of his eye
Between the vigorous and powerful strokes
The tennis court erupted in an instant, with classmates anxiously crowding around Shi Xun, all speaking at once and loudly asking questions. Outside the crowd, Le Xiaolian lay on the ground like an abandoned puppy, struggling to prop herself up with her hands to sit up.
Wow, keep it up, Shi Xun! Keep it up, Shi Xun!
She picked up her phone and stood up joyfully, walking over to a leather sofa placed on the right side of the room. Jiang Shuo Liu was lying there with an expression of discontent, holding a piece of paper filled with the character "dāi" and murmuring to himself.
At this moment, both individuals were already drenched in sweat. Jiang Shuo Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead with the wristband on his hand, breathing heavily as he looked at Shi Xun, who was panting on the opposite side.
With some curious speculation, Le Xiaolian walked up to Bailing under the golden rays of the setting sun, arriving at the large birch tree where she and Jiang Shouli had once made a promise.
Shi Xun was momentarily taken aback, raising his head to look across, only to find a racket flying directly towards his head! Startled, Shi Xun's face turned pale as he quickly reached out to catch the racket in mid-air, glaring angrily at the one who nearly hit him—Jiang Shuo Liu.
Benkela actually said that she would use this 'Dumb Charm' to cure my 'Delusions of Grandeur'. Could it be that if I become foolish, she would actually like me...
Jiang Shaoliu, this big fool
Jiang Shaoliu bounced the tennis ball on the ground twice, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes as he looked at Shi Xun. Then, he tossed the tennis ball high into the air and struck it forcefully with his racket!
Is this guy showing off the results of his calligraphy practice? What is this strange thing?
This charm seems to be somewhat effective, as my mood is not as heavy as it was earlier. It is getting late now, so I should hurry to the computer lab to secure a seat; otherwise, my homework for today will be in vain
Jiang Shuliuzhuan turned around, like an angel just descending to the mortal realm, stepping on fallen leaves as he slowly approached Le Xiaolian in the soft golden light, bending his eyes to reveal a somewhat enigmatic smile.
On either side of the net, Jiang Shuo and Shi Xun resembled the lords of these two separated lands, each shaking out the mane of a lion, incompatibly radiating their own energy fields.
After the coach gave the command, he tossed the ball high into the air and then forcefully hit the tennis ball back! Before Le Xiaolian could regain her composure, Shi Xun had already dashed to the center court, elegantly swung his racket, and effortlessly returned the tennis ball that had bounced high off the ground!
Little Cola, you have finally arrived! It has been more than half a month since we last made a wish under this birch tree, and you have not come even once during this time. However, I do not hold it against you at all! I just feel that I have waited too long!
What is wrong with me? Why am I saying such strange things again? Whom is he buying a gift for? It has nothing to do with me, right? Jiang Shuo Liu revealed a satisfied, mischievous smile on his face and casually waved his arm at Le Xiao Lian.
I am sorry, Little Cola, but I must return home. Recently, the old man in our family has been quite nagging, and if I do not behave well, he will deduct my allowance
The smoke that filled the tennis court gradually dissipated in the atmosphere of harmony between Le Xiaolian and Shi Xun, when a scream suddenly erupted like a bomb going off in the court
At that moment, Shi Xun, with a focused expression, rushed forward, just as he was about to block Jiang Sholiu's powerful serve as he had done before, his expression suddenly changed.
"Yes, I am sorry..." Le Xiaolian glanced at the restarting screen on the computer monitor used by Shi Xun, then looked at the biology textbook placed beside the monitor. Her heart suddenly sank like a free-fall ride. "Were you... just writing the paper assigned by the biology teacher?"
Having finished speaking, Shi Xun coolly turned around and left the computer classroom, holding his biology textbook in one hand
I had heard before that Shi Xun is the nemesis of Jiang Shuo Liu, and now I truly feel that Shi Xun is not inferior to Jiang Shuo Liu at all
Since that's the case, let's compete enough! Just like before, Shixun, this time I will definitely not lose to you.
On the mobile screen, there is an image captured just now in the computer room, showing Shi Xun taking a bookmark from Le Xiaolian's hand. Since it was taken from the side, Shi Xun and Le Xiaolian appear particularly close.
Shi Xun cast a sullen glance at Le Xiaolian, picked up the textbook, and was about to leave
Shen Xuechi shrugged his shoulders at Jiang Shuo, while Zhang Xinru shook her head, her face flushed red, quickly declaring that she did not know the whereabouts of Le Xiaolian. ... Hehe ... ... Hehe. ... ... ... That guy actually ran away ...? ... What on earth was I working so hard for just now ...? ...
Le Xiaolian cast a somewhat angry glance at Jiang Sholiu, and then, as she watched his solitary figure walking down the hillside, she felt as if a piece of her heart had suddenly gone missing. She raised her head to look around at the surrounding white birch forest
After all these years, do you still want to compete with me in everything..." Jiang Shuo Liu gazed at the photo on his phone, lost in thought for a few seconds, his gaze slightly wavering. After exhaling a breath, he suddenly straightened his back, his eyes shining with the fierce determination of a lion going into battle, filled with pride and a sense of superiority over all.
Since that is the case, I will play this final ball with you seriously
However, in the end, it was still too late. The tennis ball bounced forcefully out of bounds after hitting the ground, and with the sound of the physical education teacher's whistle, Shi Xun lost a point. The classmates who witnessed this scene dared not breathe, merely staring blankly at Jiang Shuo Liu and Shi Xun on the court.
... ...
Yu Hanyan glanced at Jiang Sholiu, feeling dejected, and lowered her head without responding
Good
What a pity! It's all the teacher's fault for not allowing us to bring our phones to class, otherwise we could have recorded this scene!
How is it going? We are now at the last two balls of the decisive game, Shi Xun, you have already lost
Didi! Didi!
I really have no way to deal with you... Goodbye! Thud! Before she could finish her words, Le Xiaolian felt herself being suddenly pulled forward by a force, and then she fell into a warm embrace
I unexpectedly hit the nail on the head...
However, Jiang Shuo was completely overwhelmed by impulsive emotions, disregarding the various adverse outcomes and possibilities that raced through his mind. He cast a glance at the serious Wen Zhenhai and the disdainful Xiao Yanfeng looking at him, and solemnly nodded his head
Le Xiaolian's heart suddenly leaped... Oh no, has Jiang Sholi come to cause trouble again? However, what surprised her was that Jiang Sholi's gaze did not fall on her, but was fixed directly on Shi Xun, who was standing beside her.
Just as Le Xiaolian was loudly reciting the "Haha Spell" as per Jiang Sholiu's request, she suddenly felt something strange in her throat. Instinctively, she closed her mouth, swallowed, and a chill ran down her spine
Oh my God—it's really Jiang Shuo Liu! It's the real Jiang Shuo Liu!
What are you doing? I have already apologized, do you still want me to do your hard labor?
Jiang Shaoliu lowered his gaze, a look of confusion and hurt on his face. Le Xiaolian looked at Jiang Shaoliu with regret and a hint of helplessness, holding the hand that had pushed Jiang Shaoliu away against her chest
Wind, your previous statement was completely illogical
Seeing the match come to an end, Le Xiaolian, who had been anxiously standing at the sidelines worrying about the battle between Jiang Sholiu and Shi Xun, rolled her eyes and glanced at Jiang Sholiu, who was raising his hand to signal Wen Zhenhai and Xiao Yanfeng, as well as Shi Xun, who was dejectedly lowering his head. She then turned to Shen Xuechi and Zhang Xinru beside her, gestured for silence, and tiptoed to stealthily hide at the back of the crowd.
It was indeed Xu classmate who was originally involved in the collision, can we blame her for it?
"I will win back in the next game after losing this one." With that, Shi Xun steadied his breath, and in his already weary eyes, a stubborn light shone resolutely. Jiang Shuo was momentarily taken aback, and with one hand resting on his sweat-drenched forehead, he smiled helplessly and sighed.
Jiang Shaoliu looked at Le Xiaolian with a serious expression, resembling a soldier standing at attention, and raised his confident thumb, saying, "Produced by the Jiang family, quality guaranteed!" Le Xiaolian hesitated, turned around, cleared her throat, and after stealing a couple of glances at Jiang Shaoliu, began to conduct an experiment using this "Haha talisman".
... ... Hehehe, I have come up with a great idea that will allow me to turn the tide in the second round of the tower assault competition!
I have an OK band! Hurry up and stick it on classmate Shi Xun!
Hahahahahaha! What does it mean for one person to fight?! Hahahahahaha! Only oneself can change one's own destiny! Hahahahahaha!! I absolutely, absolutely will not fail!! Hahahahahaha! Hahahaha!
When the physical education teacher announced the start of the match, Jiang Shuo, standing on the left side of the court, gracefully tossed the tennis ball high into the air and swung the racket with both elegance and power, forcefully smashing the ball over the net
"Of course not." Le Xiaolian angrily straightened her somewhat wrinkled coat, muttering gloomily to herself. Why did being praised as "smart" by that guy not make her feel happy at all?
You should hurry back in a flurry! For some reason, a nameless anger ignited in Le Xiaolian's heart, and she replied with a sour tone, but as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly became aware and gave herself a hard mental slap on the head.
Although the world did not change because of the "spell" that Le Xiaolian just shouted, her mood has indeed become much more pleasant
Just finished writing, did not save the file
After shouting until her voice was nearly gone, Le Xiaolian finally stopped.
This kiss is a special charm for Little Cola—"No one is allowed to approach except for this young master!" Little Cola, you are not allowed to wash your face today!
Jiang Shuo Liu, who still had not caught a glimpse of Le Xiaolian hidden among the crowd, returned the racket to the physical education teacher and walked over to Wen Zhenhai and Xiao Yanfeng, where he immediately heard Wen Zhenhai's stern voice.
Why? Classmate Xun! Just now, Le Xiaolian almost caused you to get hurt! The surrounding girls were loudly complaining in dissatisfaction, their angry voices sounding as if they were about to cry
The exchanges among several girls escalated into a heated argument on the tennis court
I did not know that such a thing had happened... Jiang Shuo Liu's gaze and tone revealed deep self-reproach. "It's alright!" Le Xiao Lian laughed cheerfully and waved her hand, "Since I promised to be friends with you again, I have already prepared myself mentally. However, just to be safe, it would be better for us to be a bit cautious for now. So I will take my leave now!"
Your Highness Shuiliu! Your Highness Shuiliu is invincible!
"That's too much..." Zhang Xinru pouted her chubby lips in dissatisfaction, her slightly plump cheeks flushed red. "It was clearly you all who were unwilling to demonstrate the catching, which is why you insisted on having Xiaolian take the field. Now you're blaming Xiaolian instead..."
Will the place I want to go also be as unreachable as this sky?
Dudu—The match has concluded! Jiang Shuo Liu wins!
As Le Xiaolian fell into deep thought, a white rose suddenly appeared before her eyes! Le Xiaolian looked at the rose in surprise, glancing with some confusion at Jiang Sholiu, who wore a mysterious smile, before taking the rose from his hand
Best of three matches, Jiang Shuo Liu serves the first ball. The match begins
Ah... Speaking of which, it seems like it has been a long time since I last came to Bailin after making a wish under the birch tree with Jiang Shaoliu that day... I wonder how that tree is doing now
Look, if what I just said was logically confused, how could Liu find the way back
Jiang Shaoliu suddenly rushed to the midfield, and without waiting for the ball to land, he executed an aerial catch and forcefully slammed the ball back! Shi Xun calmly assessed the trajectory of the incoming ball, quickly retreated to the backcourt, and steadily blocked Jiang Shaoliu's powerful slam.
Upon receiving a positive response from Xiang, Jiang Shuo curved his eyes and revealed a confident smile
Wow! Be careful! A loud shout suddenly echoed across the tennis court, and Shi Xun was momentarily stunned before turning to look. She intended to react, but it was already too late—Le Xiao Lian, who was quickly retreating while chasing the ball, completely failed to notice that Shi Xun was still standing behind her. Just as she was about to reach the point to receive the ball, her body collided heavily with the dazed Shi Xun!
You still returned my bookmark, and even if I delete ten papers, it cannot offset the favor I owe you. Therefore, I am lending you these books. I do not like to owe anyone anything, and besides, you don't seem that unpleasant.
Le Xiaolian and Shi Xun turned their heads in unison towards the entrance of the court, only to see Jiang Sholiu approaching them with an air of a king on a procession, walking gracefully until he stood opposite the net, gazing at them.
Looking at the page filled with the character "ha", Le Xiaolian's mouth twitched slightly, and a drop of cold sweat trickled down her forehead
Wow—Jiang Shuo Liu has won! Jiang Shuo Liu is indeed the most formidable!
I never expected that a wealthy person like you would actually be a miser. With so much pocket money, it shouldn't matter how much you deduct, right?" Le Xiaolian pouted in dissatisfaction, feeling even more unable to avoid the reluctance in her heart at this moment
Hairpin = Bookmark
"I will receive this ball!" Le Xiaolian wanted to atone for her mistakes. Upon seeing the yellow ball flying towards her, she immediately nimbly stepped back. Just as Shi Xun, who was standing in the backcourt, was about to coordinate with Le Xiaolian to dodge, a figure as graceful and light as a swan suddenly glided across the court, turning back to smile and wave at her classmate.
Click. Le Xiaolian furrowed her brows in annoyance and pressed the switch down hard again, but the display remained silent as if it were asleep. A cool, slightly melancholic voice sounded beside Le Xiaolian.
After a sigh, when everyone believed that the game was lost, Shi Xun suddenly appeared behind Le Xiaolian and executed a beautiful backhand to return the tennis ball. The unprepared physical education teacher and the sports committee member were caught off guard and barely managed to return the ball.
Start !
Click. After waiting for two seconds, the monitor seems to have no response
Bang—suddenly, Jiang Shuo Liu maneuvered past several players attempting to intercept him, carried the ball into the penalty area, and then lifted his foot high for a powerful shot—the ball went in
The tennis court fell silent, and even the physical education teacher from Deya High School did not dare to step forward and interrupt. Everyone was fixated on the stunning scene before them, fearing that they might miss a historic moment in the blink of an eye
At this moment, amidst the crowd, Le Xiaolian glanced at the gradually receding figure of Shi Xun, then looked at Jiang Sholiu, who was surrounded by adoring gazes, engaging in lively conversation with Wen Zhenhai and Xiao Yanfeng. The question marks in her mind multiplied like popcorn popping in a machine.
What is going on? It seems that Jiang Shuo Liu and Shi Xun are not getting along...
"Little Cola?" Jiang Sholiu looked at Le Xiaolian, who suddenly turned and left, his eyes widening in confusion, following behind her like a child unwilling to be abandoned as they walked down the White Ridge. "Little Cola, wait! Why aren't you saying anything?" Le Xiaolian took a deep breath, did not answer Jiang Sholiu's question, and pushed forward even more vigorously.
Fortunately, we did not injure classmate Shi Xun just now, otherwise we would not have let you off
Upon hearing Shi Xun's apology, Le Xiaolian looked up at his indifferent face, which revealed a hint of concern and guilt. She smiled without holding any grudges and readily took Shi Xun's hand, allowing him to pull her up from the ground
You are still as stubborn as before
Jiang Shaoliu, Wen Zhenhai, and Xiao Yanfeng pushed open the iron gate of the court, entering the field amidst a throng of admirers behind them. Upon seeing the noisy students from Deya High School, Jiang Shaoliu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he were looking at a group of chirping chicks fighting for food. However, when his gaze fell upon Le Xiaolian, who was sitting on the ground anxiously trying to mediate, along with her injured arm and knee, in an instant, his rationality evaporated like dry ice. Before Wen Zhenhai could intervene, he had already strode purposefully towards Le Xiaolian.
Shixun! Classmate Shixun! Are you alright?
Such a regal demeanor made the spectators at the sidelines of the court even more excited and unable to contain themselves The girls energetically raised their arms, joyfully shouting and jumping, while the boys beamed with bright smiles, enthusiastically applauding Jiang Shuo Liu
The decisive game—last ball! The physical education teacher announced loudly, his voice somewhat hoarse, with a tense expression on his face as if he himself were the one playing on the court
Tennis... you two really do make a terrible pair! How about the two of us have a match instead
Hahaha
"The last time I rode your motorcycle, something fell out of your jacket pocket, and I happened to pick it up... I initially wanted to hide it as a form of revenge because I disliked you, but since I made a mistake today, I will return it to you as compensation." Le Xiaolian replied candidly, her face slightly flushed with embarrassment.
"Why here with you?" At that moment, Xun Fei quickly took it from Le Xiaolian's palm, raising his head to look at her with a vigilant and confused expression
Having a general understanding of the legend of "Cinderella and Little Cola," almost all the girls who admired Jiang Sholiu began to imitate Le Xiaolian's standard outfit, tying their hair into two braids. Meanwhile, the boys, regardless of whether the hairstyle suited their face shape, adopted Jiang Sholiu's hairstyle and learned to mimic every expression and even the tone of voice of Jiang Sholiu.
Are these two children really high school students? I fear I might not even be their match
Jiang Shaoliu recognized this fact, his eyes twitching in silence, feeling as if he was about to faint from shortness of breath! On the opposite side of the net, Shi Xun gazed intensely at Jiang Shaoliu, reluctantly lowering his head before turning and walking towards the edge of the court
However, just as the football field was filled with joy, a sudden burst of discordant cheers erupted from the nearby tennis court! Jiang Shaoliu was momentarily taken aback and turned to look, discovering that a large group of students dressed in De Ya sportswear had gathered at the tennis court not far away. They were screaming in waves and excitedly whistling. Although their numbers were not as many as those surrounding the football field, the extreme admiration and frenzied atmosphere they exuded were by no means inferior to Jiang Shaoliu's admirers.
Speak louder
At this moment, in the midst of the crowd surrounding the tennis court, Le Xiaolian and Shi Xun stand focused on one side of the net, holding their tennis rackets. Opposite them, the physical education teacher and the sports committee member are also poised and ready, with the teacher raising the tennis ball high in one hand, demonstrating the serve while explaining the key points to the surrounding students
Are you alright? Just as Jiang Shuo had taken a couple of steps, a voice caused him to halt in his tracks. He looked up and saw Shi Xun stepping out from the crowd that had gathered around him, standing in front of Le Xiaolian and extending a hand towards her
Fortunately, there were not many people in the computer room today, and the seat by the window, which Le Xiaolian liked the most, was still vacant. This rare stroke of luck greatly improved Le Xiaolian's mood; however, the heavy fatigue from the fierce competition between the Huali class and the Yalin class during the day still left her feeling somewhat dizzy. She held her homework, walked unsteadily to the computer desk with her head down, and bent down to press the power button on the computer case.
Sea, wind, I want to go and take a look
Hai, I am just playing tennis with classmate Shi Xun, it will be fine, just relax!
However, Jiang Shuo looked at Shi Xun with a smile that was even more radiant than the sunlight, his neat teeth glinting softly in the sun, as if the atmosphere of the entire tennis court had suddenly become relaxed and joyful. "It has been five years since we last met, and your skills have improved quite a bit! The only way to turn the tables is to defeat the person who has beaten you before—this was something I said a few years ago, right? I didn't expect you to remember!"
Suddenly, Le Xiaolian seemed to have thought of something, her eyes brightened like a light bulb that had just been turned on, and she couldn't help but snap her fingers joyfully
A faint scent of lavender made Le Xiaolian feel a bit dizzy, but the last shred of her rationality compelled her to muster all the strength she had left to punch Jiang Shuliu's thin yet sturdy back
However, the force of this serve was truly overwhelming. Despite Shi Xun exerting all his strength, the ball, once struck, could not be altered from its original trajectory
Jiang Shao took two quick steps and grabbed Le Xiaolian's hand, but as soon as he held her fingers, Le Xiaolian instinctively shook her hand away with force, causing both of them to freeze in place, their bodies stiffening in an instant
Student Shi Xun—it's alright! You have already performed very well!
A wave of astonishment and cheers immediately arose on the field
hahaha
"Little Cola! Wait! Are you angry?"
Hello, Xun, how are you? Have you been injured?
It is good to see you again. Jiang Shuo Liu stood firm in front of the net, his face clearly bearing a smile, yet for some reason, it made the air around him seem to crackle.
Thump! Looking at the dreamlike scene in front of her, Le Xiaolian's heart suddenly thumped in her chest. Her cheeks turned crimson like they were dyed by the setting sun. She gazed fixedly at the flowing river, as if she didn't want to disturb the beautiful scenery before her, and swallowed all the words she wanted to say at that moment.
"Although it is said this way, it would still be quite terrible if one ends up broke," Jiang Shuo looked up at the sky with difficulty, pondering as he counted on his fingers, "After all, buying gifts for beautiful sisters costs quite a bit of money!"
Jiang Shao Liu bent down to pick up a ball that had rolled onto the ground, tossed it in his hand, and glanced at Le Xiao Lian and Shi Xun.
You blame yourselves for not knowing when Xun would take the stage, do not shift all the blame onto the foolish Lian
How, how could this happen... I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
Shi Xun lightly pursed his lips, looking expressionless as he watched Le Xiao Lian struggling with the weight of those books. His voice answered in a flat tone, like distilled water.
Hello, go ahead.
Although he didn't say anything, Le Xiaolian understood the look in his eyes. She pursed her lips and desperately held back the urge to vent her dissatisfaction, her face turning patchy white and red. This guy is thinking, "I can't write a thesis that's worthy of him, can I?"... But now is not the time to argue with him about this issue. After all, I did make a mistake just now...
As Le Xiaolian was about to turn and leave, Jiang Shuo called out to her, "Farewell." Le Xiaolian sighed helplessly and smiled as she waved her hand at Jiang Shuo.
Thinking of this, Le Xiaolian took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions. She turned around and took out the long "hairpin" from her pen case, and handed it to Shi Xun, saying, "Here, this belongs to you, right?"
Just now when playing basketball, I was daydreaming. It was my fault for bumping into Le Xiaolian.
Hello! Little Cola!
I don't care about so much, this is my way of saying goodbye! Jiang Suli tightly hugged Le Xiaolian, who was wriggling like an eel in his arms. Like a spoiled cat, he buried his face in Le Xiaolian's hair and complained unhappily, "Since we can't meet at school or go on dates outside, can we at least exempt those three agreed-upon numbers under this birch tree during class? And Xiaokele is so cunning, only I wait for you here every day, while you are having a passionate affair with the handsome new transfer student..." Since we can't meet at school or go on dates outside, can we at least exempt those three agreed-upon numbers under this birch tree during class? And Xiaokele is so cunning, only I wait for you here every day, while you are having a passionate affair with the handsome new transfer student...
This is a charm that can make Xiao Kele happy! It seems like I have figured out the confusion of Le Xiaolian. Jiang Shuoliu explained with a smile, and the happy expression made the entire birch forest brighten up. "Because we can't talk to Xiao Kele at school, I wrote this 'haha charm' for you. In the future, whenever you are unhappy, just read aloud all the words on this paper, and you will become happy! This way, even if I'm not by your side, you will still be a happy Xiao Kele!" "Because we can't talk to Xiao Kele at school, I wrote this 'haha charm' for you. In the future, whenever you are unhappy, just read aloud all the words on this paper, and you will become happy! This way, even if I'm not by your side, you will still be a happy Xiao Kele!" (And you won't be taken advantage of by some idiots when you are vulnerable)," Jiang Shuoliu added silently in his heart.
Bang!
After the last class in the afternoon, Le Xiaolian deliberately found an excuse not to go to the cafeteria with Shen Xuechi and Zhang Xinru to have dinner. She wandered alone on campus with a heavy heart.
At that moment, Xun stared expressionlessly at Jiang Shuo Liu, without responding. In his usually calm and tranquil eyes, a tumultuous and intense mix of emotions was surging.
Monitor, you speak strangely! We nominate Le Xiaolian. She can refuse if she doesn't know how!
Su Youhui... When Xun saw this figure, he was momentarily stunned, as if he had suddenly fallen into the wonderland of Alice's dream, completely forgetting the ongoing tennis match. His black crystal-clear eyes followed Su Youhui's figure as she walked away.
Just now, Jiang Shuo Liu and Shi Xun mentioned, "The only way to turn defeat into victory is to overcome the person who has defeated you"
Swallowing a mosquito. Jiang Shuo repeated Le Xiaolian's words. After a few seconds of silence in the white birch forest, there was suddenly a burst of laughter. "Hahaha! Little Cola! When did you become a disciple of the frog? Hahaha! You cracked me up!"
Stupid Lian, bleeding.
Ahahaha... Le Xiaolian politely smiled back, with the corners of her mouth twitching stiffly and a drop of cold sweat falling from her forehead.
During this intense century-long war, as a liberal without any organizational support, Le Xiaolian was as helpless as a fallen leaf in a storm. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't even get into the library, let alone the classroom for evening self-study. In the end, she had to go to the computer room every night and squeeze into a corner of a computer desk to do her homework...
What's the point of showing off if you can't play ball! It's really embarrassing.
Shi Xun seemed to be challenged by Jiang Shuiliu's provocation, and he faced him expressionlessly, showing no weakness in the face of Jiang Shuiliu's powerful oppression like an emperor.
"Liu, what are you doing?" Wen Zhenhai reminded anxiously from the sidelines.
Pa da. After finishing speaking, Jiang Shuo hung up the phone, turned his head and smiled apologetically at Le Xiao Lian, reaching out to scratch the back of his head.
Rocking back and forth... Rocking back and forth...
What is it this time? Jiang Shuo saw the phone dropped on the sofa, looking as miserable as the hardworking masses. "Let me make it clear beforehand, even if you show me the invitation to a fashion show or party, I don't have time to accompany you! I've been feeling uneasy lately, and I always feel like my hair is turning green, so I have to spend more time watching our Coke!"
"Stupid!" A face that was out of the ordinary, like a prince of elves, appeared not far from a large birch tree, floating in the breeze with the fragrance of grass and trees. He gently fluttered his eyelashes, which were slightly upturned like a breeze, and his mysterious and deep eyes, like magical crystals, gazed deeply at Yue Xiaolian. His beautiful lips raised a warm smile in the sunset.
... ...
After finishing speaking, Shi Xun turned his head and glanced at Jiang Shuiliu, then quickly walked towards the entrance of the court. His admirers followed closely behind him, chattering and hoping to find a chance to talk to Shi Xun.
That's it, goodbye!
Thinking about all this, Le Xiaolian felt like her mind was stuffed with too much clutter, so heavy that she could hardly lift it! Her eyes lost focus. Like a wandering soul, she aimlessly wandered around the campus, and when she came to her senses, she was already at the foot of Bailin Mountain.
Feeling the sudden tension between Jiang Shuiliu and Shi Xun, the whispered discussions among the classmates gradually quieted down. Le Xiaolian, who had thought she would be in trouble with Jiang Shuiliu, now became a bystander. She stood beside Shi Xun, looking confused and nervous, glancing back and forth between Shi Xun and Jiang Shuiliu. She wanted to say something, but felt there was no room for her to speak.
In addition to the students from De Yao High School who were already stationed at the court, the students from Xing Gao also crowded over, excitedly surrounding the tennis court to the point of being impassable, eagerly waiting to witness the century battle between Jiang Shuo Liu and the newly emerged champion, Xiun.
Is the computer broken? When a person is down on their luck, even drinking cold water can get stuck in their teeth
"Ugh—Yanyan, is this a grenade? My stomach almost got a hole from your phone..." Jiang Sholiu, with a black line of frustration on his forehead, sat up from the sofa, holding his stomach and complaining with a gloomy expression. Yu Hanyan cast a cold glance at Jiang Sholiu, snorted softly, and returned to her previous seat, continuing to read her book.
I have seen the brilliance of the sun
At this moment on the field, only the victor of this battle remains—Jiang Shaoliu, along with the spoils of this battle—Le Xiaolian, and numerous fans of Jiang Shaoliu
Hmm... then let's begin. Shi Xun nodded expressionlessly, turned around, and slightly bent down to get ready. Le Xiaolian looked at Shi Xun's silhouette under the sunlight, which seemed like a work of art, with some confusion, tilting her head and furrowing her brow.
Little Cola!
I have said that I will take away what does not belong to you. I will not lose again next time.
The evening self-study classroom shared by the four schools of the Star Alliance, while two classes "govern by dividing the river," sit on the left and right sides of the classroom respectively, competing to see who can do more homework and study later. As a result, after two days, students from the Huali class and the Yalin class were both physically exhausted from studying all night, and were criticized by the teacher for sleeping in class during the day! Not only that, even when it was not time to prepare for the second round of the Tower Attack Qualifying Exam, the two classes were also engaged in mutual competition and covert attacks due to the accumulated resentment. They compared sports on the public playground, food consumption in the public cafeteria, and even the time spent in the public restroom.

The admirers of Jiang Shuo on the tennis court clapped their hands, shouted, and jumped with excitement, as if celebrating a grand festival. Meanwhile, the classmates who supported Shi Xun felt disappointed and somewhat sympathetic, sighing with a sense of frustration. They comforted and encouraged Shi Xun, and some emotionally overwhelmed girls even hugged each other and burst into tears. The tennis court once again descended into chaos, as if both winter and summer had arrived simultaneously. The physical education teacher, who served as the referee, breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up from the referee chair, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
On the court, Jiang Shuiliu smiled and greeted his supporters, including Wen Zhenhai, Xiao Yanfeng, and himself. Then he turned to look in the direction of Le Xiaolian, only to find that the spot was empty...
Sea, what's going on? I think I just heard someone call the name Shixun.
After a full hour, the game seemed to be at a stalemate. At this moment, Jiang Shuo suddenly jumped up and delivered a powerful smash towards Shi Xun. The tennis ball spun rapidly and landed in the right corner of the backcourt!
No matter what, I'm very happy to play basketball with you again! Let's play football together next time! I will still beat you fiercely!
No wonder, recently Shi Xun's popularity in the Star Alliance has been approaching that of Jiang Shuoliu. It's the principle that two tigers cannot share the same mountain, right?
Upon hearing this, Xun responded earnestly, leaving Jiang Shuo momentarily stunned. Soon after, his eyes, which were usually as carefree as wandering clouds, became calm. His rosy lips curved into a confident and intriguing smile
Wait a moment... As Le Xiaolian was about to leave, Jiang Suli shouted at her, "Goodbye." Le Xiaolian sighed helplessly, smiled, and waved her hand at Jiang Suli.
Difficult, could it be all?
Flow, you are too impulsive. If you get locked up again, don't ask me for help.
After agreeing on the rules of the game, Jiang Shuoliu and Shi Xun each held a tennis racket and returned to the court. As the referee, the PE teacher sat on the referee seat next to the tennis court. Although this was not the first time he had served as a referee for his own students, he had never been as nervous as he was now.
Well received
Is it really effective?" Le Xiaolian looked at Jiang Sholiu with a mixture of doubt and belief
In such a situation, as long as there is one misjudgment regarding the ball, he will forever be infamous among the students...! The classmates watching from around the court are now so excited that they can hardly contain themselves!
Of course, you are fine; your skin is so thick that even if one layer is broken, there are still many more beneath it
Classmate Shen Xuechi! What are you ... ...
The tree just spoke? Is there a monster?
Shi Xun glanced in the direction of Jiang Shuo's pointing finger and nodded disapprovingly at Le Xiaolian.
In order to catch a ball, Xun was standing in front of the net. Suddenly, he saw the tennis ball fly over his head. He was startled and quickly turned around, trying to run back to the backcourt to save the ball!
Sometimes it's really hard to understand what Shixun is thinking...
Carefully putting it back into his pocket, Shi Xun turned around and lifted a large stack of books from a stool beside the computer desk, stuffing them into Le Xiaolian's hands. As she received them with both hands, her body suddenly sank down, and she emerged from the pile of books in surprise, glaring at Shi Xun defiantly.
Shi Xun glanced at his textbook in the direction of Le Xiaolian's gaze, his voice colder and more curt than usual
What is truly unattainable is not the sky, but the human heart. A voice tinged with dissatisfaction gently arose, causing Le Xiaolian to pause in surprise, suddenly retreating a large step like a startled frog, trembling as she gazed at the white birch tree swaying gently in the breeze
No problem
Shen Xuechi and Zhang Xinru squeezed through the crowd, anxiously jogging to Le Xiaolian's side and crouching down to check her injuries from various angles. "I'm fine," Le Xiaolian said, enduring the sharp, burning pain radiating from her scraped palms and knees, forcing a smile at Shen Xuechi and Zhang Xinru. "It's just a little scraped skin, no need to worry."
Jiang Shuliu, are you an idiot? That day I was arguing with Shi Xun! Le Xiaolian clenched her angry fists, wishing she could smash a hole in Jiang Shuliu's head; only a fool would be captivated by that stone-faced guy
What do you think
Shi Xun casually lowered his eyelids, but when he saw the object in Le Xiaolian's palm, his eyes focused intently, and his lips parted slightly in surprise
At the moment the ball struck the net, the physical education teacher blew the whistle forcefully, bringing an end to this thrilling match
In this manner, Jiang Shuo and Shi Xun were fiercely battling it out on the court, as if engaged in a life-and-death duel, with neither side willing to concede an inch! Le Xiaolian and the other onlooking classmates watched the intense match with wide, anxious eyes, occasionally swallowing hard to steady their hearts, which trembled like a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The intense and tense atmosphere at that moment made it feel as though they could hardly catch their breath!
It is frustrating... I was unable to participate in any study group. I already lacked confidence in this "battle of one person," but I never expected that not only was there fierce competition within my own tower assault class's study group, but also that the Yalin class and the Huali class had turned into two rival nations, engaged in intense battles at any time and place. In the library, students from the Yalin and Huali classes faced off against each other, clashing in the book borrowing room, competing over which class could borrow more and more useful books.
Jiang Shuo Liu, do you believe that I can turn your head into --
I did not know that such a thing had happened... Jiang Shuliu's gaze and tone revealed deep self-reproach. "It's alright!" Le Xiaolian said with a bright smile, waving her hand, "Since I promised to be friends with you again, I have already prepared myself mentally. However, just to be safe, it would be better for us to be a bit cautious for now. So I will take my leave now!"
A few girls overheard the conversation between Le Xiaolian, Shen Xuechi, and Zhang Xinru, turning their heads with a look of disdain directed at Le Xiaolian, as if they had just eaten garlic, their tone both aggressive and sharp
Jiang Shuo saw a completely different expression, which was opposite to Shi Xun's, but still smiled and walked to the center of the tennis court, like a lazy cat with one arm hanging on the net and the other supporting his brilliant smiling face that seemed to light up the whole universe, despite Shi Xun's cold rejection.
"Oh? It's made of paper, how impressive, it looks just like the real thing!" At the moment her fingers touched the rose, Le Xiaolian leaned in closer to the flower and smelled it in disbelief
On the last class of the second day, at the public sports field of the Star Alliance, a wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted. In the center of the green field, Jiang Shuo Liu, dressed in the white sports uniform of Xing Gao, was happily playing a half-field soccer match with Xiao Yan Feng and other boys from the class, while Wen Zhen Hai, with a red silk ribbon tied around his right arm, took on the role of referee for the match, holding a whistle.
At the very moment when Shi Xun disappeared at the door of the computer room, a figure sitting slightly to the side on the other end of the room successfully sent a photo taken with her mobile phone via MMS, a hushed and low sound discreetly emanating from the corner
Hello? Ah, I see, I am currently at Bailin, understood, I will return now
Yet I truly feel as if I have been enchanted
"Huh?" Yue Xiaolian was startled, and her drowsy mind suddenly cleared up. She sat up and looked beside her, only to find Shi Xun sitting in the seat next to her, staring at her coldly and irritably!
Caught between laughter and tears, beyond comprehension
Hello Xiaolian, how are you?
