Sunday evening.

Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu went to school in the afternoon.

Li Luo stayed at home and was pulled into the piano room by Yan Zhusheng for some love teaching. He didn't come out until evening, put on his schoolbag and went to school.

When passing by the playground on Houde Road, Li Luo glanced at the figure on the playground, paused, and grabbed Yan Zhusheng.

Yan Zhusheng followed Li Luo's gaze with a puzzled look, only to find that Ying Chanxi and Qiao Xinyan were playing badminton on the playground.

"Will you start the competition tomorrow?" Li Luo said, "It looks like they are training. Do you want to go over and join us?"

Yan Zhusheng shook his head: "I don't need to."

"Then let's go and take a look." Li Luo said this, and then said to Yan Zhusheng, "Will you go to the canteen and buy a few bottles of drinks?"

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "I'll buy it."

Seeing Yan Zhusheng obediently walking to the canteen, Li Luo walked into the playground and came to the sidelines where Ying Chanxi and Qiao Xinyan were standing.

At this time, on the playground lawn, several areas have been divided by the students of the badminton club, and corresponding badminton nets have been placed.

Ying Chanxi and Qiao Xinyan were doing warm-up training on one of the courts, trying to find their touch.

Because Yingchanxi was facing away from the entrance of the playground, Li Luo's arrival was not noticed.

Li Luo also silently greeted Qiao Xinyan from a distance, signaling her to keep quiet.

Until Li Luo approached the sidelines, just when Ying Chanxi bent down to pick up the ball, he quickly came behind Ying Chanxi.

"Xinyan, why are you smiling so happily?" After picking up the ball, Ying Chanxi saw Qiao Xinyan on the opposite side holding back a laugh, and suddenly looked strange.

Then she noticed Qiao Xinyan's gaze and turned around subconsciously.

"Hello." Li Luo greeted her from behind with a smile.

"Ah!" Ying Chanxi was startled by this guy, and because he had just turned around, he lost his footing. After losing his balance, he fell directly to the side.

"Hey!" Upon seeing this, Li Luo quickly put his arms around her back and hugged her, preventing Ying Chanxi from falling to the ground. "Are you okay?"

"You scared me to death!" Ying Chanxi blushed slightly and hit him angrily, "You are so childish, you are so old, you still play such tricks."

"I'm 16 this year. I'm still underage. What's wrong with being childish?" Li Luo laughed and helped Ying Chanxi up. "How did you do?"

"Xixi is very powerful." Qiao Xinyan on the opposite side said with a smile, "I feel like I can't beat her."

"I just came here to try out the feel." Ying Chanxi said, "Get used to it today so that you don't have to adapt when you play tomorrow."

"I thought you wouldn't care too much about this kind of competition." Li Luo said in surprise, "Are you going to win the championship?"

"It's not as exaggerated as you said." Ying Chanxi rolled her eyes at him, "I just don't want to be eliminated too early. Otherwise, as the squad leader, it will be too embarrassing."

"Xixi, that's not what you said just now." Qiao Xinyan pulled the net and said with a smile, "You said you wanted to compete with Zhu Sheng on the court to try to..."

"Stop talking!" Ying Chanxi rushed to the Internet and reached out to cover Qiao Xinyan's mouth. Qiao Xinyan quickly ran away laughing.

At this time, Yan Zhusheng happened to come back from buying a drink, walked to Li Luo, and asked doubtfully: "I seem to have heard you guys talking about my name?"

"It's nothing." Li Luo said with a smile, "I'm just cheering for you guys to participate in the competition."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng handed a bottle of drink to Li Luo, then walked to Ying Chanxi and patted her shoulder, "Xixi, have a drink."

"Oh, thank you Zhusheng." Ying Chanxi took the drink and was about to unscrew the lid, but the next second, she suddenly thought of something. While Yan Zhusheng was passing the drink to Qiao Xinyan, she trotted to Li Luo and held her hand

He stuffed the drink in it and said, "I can't unscrew it, please help me."

Li Luo looked at Yingchan River, then at Yan Zhusheng, and then smiled: "Okay."

After easily unscrewing the lid, Li Luo handed the drink to Ying Chanxi. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she happily took the drink and drank it in small sips.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth as he learned to use new skills, and he felt a little proud in his heart.

But after Yan Zhusheng returned from delivering the drink to Qiao Xinyan, he saw that the drink in Li Luo's hand had not been opened yet.

So she opened her drink and handed it to Li Luo's mouth: "You drink."

With that said, she took the bottle from Li Luo's arms and drank it herself.

Ying Chanxi had just taken two sips of the drink and fell into silence when he saw this scene.

Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng retreated to the sidelines while drinking drinks, watching Ying Chanxi and Qiao Xinyan continue to play badminton.

I have to say that Ying Chanxi is indeed quite powerful.

On the one hand, the only time for most students in the No. 1 Middle School to come into contact with badminton is during weekly physical education classes.

So everyone's technical level is actually about the same.

Unless you are someone like Yan Zhusheng who has loved playing badminton since she was a child, everyone's true level may sometimes depend entirely on who serves.

Those with slightly better skills will be considered very good if they can catch a few balls from each other.

And someone like Ying Chanxi, who can not only catch the ball, but also occasionally spike the ball and think about where to hit the ball, is already very good.

On the other hand, since the start of school, Ying Chanxi has been woken up by Li Luo basically every morning and followed for a morning run on the school playground.

In addition, Ying Chanxi's physical fitness was not bad before, and she was even able to run into the finals of the women's 100 meters in the school sports meet.

Now with the training blessing of running in the morning every day, my physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary girls.

What a pity... When Xu Youyu was in her first year of high school, Li Luo didn't know her yet.

Otherwise, I really want to see my senior sister on the court.

But with Xu Youyu’s character, he probably wouldn’t sign up to compete.

In the evening, after a brief search for the feel, the four of them went back to their respective classes for evening self-study.

The next day, Monday, after the last class in the afternoon, the badminton and table tennis competitions officially started.

The game every evening lasts from five o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the evening.

Half an hour was reserved for the last participating students to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

Li Luo didn't know much about other events. As for the women's badminton competition, Li Luo looked at the schedule received by Yan Zhusheng and got a rough idea.

It’s different from the knockout rounds that start as soon as the class basketball game starts.

There are a total of 64 people registered for badminton, and there is a total of two weeks of competition. The first week is the preliminary round, and the second week is the knockout round.

In order to take care of everyone's participation in the competition, the preliminary round is not a single-elimination knockout format, but a Swiss round.

Winning a round will earn you one point, and only those with equal points will be drawn to play together.

Each person participated in one game every day, and participated in a total of five preliminary rounds. In the end, 32 players who won three or more games out of the five rounds advanced to the knockout rounds.

"How come there are exactly 64 people?" Li Luo looked at the schedule handed over by Yan Zhusheng and asked curiously.

"It seems that there were only over fifty people who signed up at the beginning," Yan Zhusheng said. "Later, the badminton club tried to recruit a few more people, and we finally got 64."

"No wonder." Li Luo nodded, and then asked, "When will you play today?"

"The first game on court 8." Yan Zhusheng was walking on the way to the playground and pointed to a badminton court nearby, "Huanhuan is the first game on court 7, Xixi is the second game on court 3, Xinyan

Second inning on court 4."

At the entrance to the playground, students coming to watch the game were coming and going.

After Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng met Ying Chanxi and the others, they took the lead in walking towards Yan Zhusheng's No. 8 court.

In addition to women's badminton, men's badminton and men's and women's table tennis competitions are also held simultaneously.

In comparison, there are far fewer boys signing up for badminton. Most of them are either participating in basketball games or signing up for table tennis.

There are more girls in badminton.

In the badminton match in Appendix 1, in order to make the game faster, the Swiss round is determined by one round, and each round only has 15 points.

Whoever gets 15 points first wins.

Under such circumstances, Yan Zhusheng won the game neatly as soon as he came on the court, without leaving any chance for the girls on the opposite side, and ended the game 15-0.

Ying Chanxi, who was watching the game from the side, blinked, then turned to look at Li Luo, and couldn't help but ask: "Has she ever practiced bamboo sheng before?"

"Well... I don't think I have practiced specifically." Li Luo smiled helplessly, "Aunt Yuan prefers to play badminton, so she has played a lot since she was a child, so she is relatively good at it."

"What should I do?" Qiao Xinyan whispered in Ying Chanxi's ear, "The bamboo sheng is so powerful, how can you beat it?"

Ying Chanxi glared at her angrily, puffed out her mouth and said dully: "I never said I would beat her, don't talk nonsense."

"It was obviously you who said it yesterday..."

"Shut up." Ying Chanxi hurriedly covered Qiao Xinyan's mouth to tell her not to say more, "You've been getting worse and worse lately, always talking nonsense."

Two girls were fighting together.

After watching Yan Zhusheng's game, Li Luo looked at Xu Yinghuan next door. He won 15-9, which was pretty smooth.

Soon, it was the turn of Ying Chanxi and Qiao Xinyan to compete.

"Li Luo, let's go to the toilet." Xu Yinghuan hugged Yan Zhusheng's arm and said to him, "We'll buy some drinks by the way."

"Got it." Li Luo waved his hand and followed Ying Chanxi and the others to the courts No. 3 and 4. He watched them go to sign in, and then heard a somewhat familiar voice coming from his ears.

"Are you coming to watch Gao Yuqin's game too?" Lu Wei from Class 7 looked at Li Luo suspiciously, then snorted coldly, "Why are you always so haunted?"

Li Luo glanced at him, somewhat speechless: "...You actually said this, what do you want me to say?"

"Haha." Lu Wei curled his lips and then said, "Have I not congratulated you yet?"

"Congratulations for what?" Li Luo was a little speechless by this man's thinking.

"Congratulations on not hitting us in the basketball game." Lu Wei smiled arrogantly, "You didn't dare to play with us in physical education class last semester. You were also lucky this time. You never bumped into us in Class 7. If there is someone later,

When the opportunity comes, you will regret it."

"Brother, why don't we chat for a while?" Li Luo dug his ears helplessly, feeling that his normal style of painting was being distorted.

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Shaowen and Xie Shuchen also rushed to the sidelines and said hello to Li Luo.

"Li Luo, you are here too."

"Want to come to watch the squad leader's game?"

Li Luo nodded, pointed at Ying Chanxi on the field, and then said to Lu Wei: "I'm serious, brother, you should open your eyes more and see other girls, just hang on Gao Yuqin's tree.

Why bother?"

"Humph, you don't understand." Lu Wei crossed his arms and said, "I made an appointment with her this time. If she wins the championship in the basketball game, she will go out to play during my Labor Day holiday."

Li Luo twitched the corners of his mouth but didn't speak yet.

Xie Shuchen, who was next to him, spoke first and said with a smile: "You are thinking too much. When you meet our class, it will not be too late to say this."

Lu Wei raised his eyebrows and realized that the two were in the same class. A certain sense of responsibility as a parallel class arose spontaneously, and he puffed up his chest and started fighting with Xie Shuchen even more vigorously.

Upon seeing this, Li Luo quickly sneaked to the sidelines, took the drink brought back by Yan Zhusheng, and handed it to Ying Chanxi who was about to play.

"Thank you." Ying Chanxi happily took the drink and took a few sips.

Li Luo took the drink back, helped her cover the lid and put it away, then said with a smile: "Come on, try to win the bamboo sheng later."

"Huh, you're just talking." Ying Chanxi said this, feeling quite happy in his heart, but still narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then if Zhu Sheng and I fight later, who will you support?"

"Of course I am..." As Li Luozheng was talking, he saw Yan Zhusheng coming to the side, listening curiously to his answer, so he immediately said in the middle, "Of course both sides are supporting me. Which one of you is behind me?"

Just support whoever you want.”

Neither girl heard the answer they most wanted to hear, but they still nodded with satisfaction.

Soon, the physical education teacher called the players on both sides to come on.

Ying Chanxi and Gao Yuqin walked onto the court and faced off with rackets.

I have to say that Gao Yuqin also plays pretty good badminton, and the back-and-forth game with Ying Chanxi was very exciting.

But in the end, Ying Chanxi was superior and won the game 15-11.

The moment they won, Liu Shaowen and Xie Shuchen clapped happily. Xie Shuchen even came up to Lu Wei and winked, which made Lu Wei very angry.

But after Ying Chanxi finished the game, he did not share his joy with his classmates. Instead, he immediately ran to Li Luo and raised his chin with his hands on his hips, looking like he was begging for praise.

"It's amazing." Li Luo said with a smile, "It seems that there should be no problem in winning the preliminary round."

"Hmm~" Ying Chanxi took the drink from Li Luo's hand and took a big sip.

Qiao Xinyan on the other side also finished the competition and walked back a little frustrated. It looked like she had lost.

When Ying Chanxi saw this, she quickly hugged her best friend's arm and comforted her softly.

Fortunately, it was just a badminton match, and it didn't mean that you would be eliminated after losing one game. Qiao Xinyan recovered quickly and went to the cafeteria to have dinner with her.

On the way, Li Luo bumped into Zhao Rongjun who was holding a table tennis racket in his hand. He immediately approached him with a surprised expression and patted his good brother on the shoulder: "You secretly signed up for table tennis?"

"What does sneaking mean?" Zhao Rongjun saw Li Luo and said immediately speechless, "I'm just signing up normally."

"You are participating in the basketball game and signing up for table tennis at the same time. You are very busy." Li Luo said with a smile, "Did you win?"

"Won."

"Okay, okay, why don't we celebrate this? Do you want to treat us tonight?"

"roll."

…

Studying in high school is very hard.

The three major football matches in April have become one of the few recreational activities for students of the No. 1 Middle School to have fun while busy.

Among the several ball games, the one that attracted the most attention was not the basketball game, but the badminton game.

And we have to focus on the women’s badminton match.

In basketball games, the most you can do is take a look at the participating classes.

But in the women's badminton game, even those in their second and third year of high school are willing to come over for a walk after dinner and watch the girls' clever skills.

Especially in mid-April, when the weather has risen to more than 20 degrees, girls have changed into short-sleeved school uniforms.

It's hot when playing games, so many girls will roll up their school pants to reveal their fair and slender calves, which is a dizzying sight.

Among them, the two girls who attracted the most attention were naturally Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi.

Especially after the news of their participation gradually spread, as time went by, every time the two of them competed, the surrounding venue would be surrounded by huge crowds.

Among them are many seniors from the second and third grade of high school who came here because of the reputation.

After studying hard, it is also a rare relaxation to watch the badminton match of beautiful girls.

But this made Li Luo suffer a lot.

Every time in the middle of the game or at the end of the game, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng like to come to Li Luo to praise them and take drinks from his hand.

After a few times, someone noticed something was wrong and wondered why this kid kept appearing?

Moreover, both Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng seemed to have a close relationship with him.

Just ask around and you'll find out.

Oh~ One is my deskmate and the other is my cousin.

Then the next second, many people were filled with righteous indignation, wondering if they could have saved the world in this shitty previous life?

Li Luo was stared at by these people, and it was like a ray of light on his back while watching the game.

After the fourth day of competition, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng both advanced to the fifth round with four wins.

Among the total 64 contestants, there are only four people who have won four times.

In the evening, when lots were drawn to determine the contestants for the fifth day, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng were very unfortunate to draw each other.

After Li Luo saw the lottery results, he immediately felt the eyes of the two girls looking over him, so he immediately coughed twice: "You have all advanced to the next round. Tomorrow's game will be a friendly match. Just play casually."

La."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng showed no expression and just nodded.

Ying Chanxi also hummed, but it was not clear what he was thinking.

And the news that Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng are about to face off in the fifth round tomorrow seems to have been given wings and spread quickly in the school.
Chapter completed!
