Sunday.
The afternoon sun looked like it could fry an egg.
The volleyball team members gathered under a small grove of trees.
Among them were veteran team members and newly recruited freshmen, their youthful faces carrying a hint of innocent... naivety.
The upperclassmen, both sophomores and juniors, looked at the freshmen with curiosity and a sense of novelty, as if they were seeing a reflection of themselves when they first joined the team.
At this moment, Captain Long, the male team leader, and Captain Zhang Cai, the female team leader, also arrived, each carrying a large bag of things.
"Come quick and help!"
Team Leader Long greeted everyone.
Immediately, people rushed over.
Wow! So much food? Is the captain treating us today?
"Look! Wow, I'm in for a treat today! Thank you for the captain's kindness!"
"Wow, it's my favorite plum juice! Captain, how did you know I like this?"
"..."
The veteran team members howled like wolves and readily accepted the items.
The newbies were both surprised and delighted.
Is this the kind of treatment one gets right after joining the team?
The veteran team members distributed a cup of plum juice to each person, and also placed a large bag of fruit salad in the middle of the group.
"By the way, why hasn't Xiao Gu arrived yet?" Captain Long glanced at everyone and noticed that Gu Fan was nowhere to be seen.
Not only him, but even the girls were curious and expectant.
Gu Fan is very popular on the team; most of the freshmen girls are there because of the handsome guy on the team.
"Oh, he's on his way, he should be here soon," Li Jun said.
"Not only Xiao Gu, but also a freshman girl, they came together."
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately surprised.
"Look, isn't that it?"
At that moment, a senior student pointed in a direction.
Everyone looked over.
Not far away, Gu Fan and Jiang Yumeng walked over together, with Gu Fan carrying a large bag of things.
The girls' eyes lit up simultaneously.
"I'd heard a beautiful woman had joined the team, and she certainly lived up to the hype!"
One of the men exclaimed in surprise.
Today, Jiang Yumeng was wearing a white t-shirt and shorts, revealing a pair of beautiful legs that looked like they belonged in a comic book. Her skin was as white as if it had been soaked in milk. She had her hair tied in a high ponytail, and her features were delicate and cute, just like the feeling of first love!
The others were also amazed by Jiang Yumeng's looks, but what surprised them even more was that Gu Fan and Jiang Yumeng looked strangely well-matched when they stood together.
Gu Fan placed a large bag of things in front of everyone.
It contained a dozen or so bottles of chilled soda.
"Hey Lao Gu, did you strike it rich today too?" one of the team members exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Fan smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't have any money."
He looked at Long.
"Captain, this is a drink that our junior sister is treating everyone to."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in surprise.
Team Leader Long looked at Jiang Yumeng in surprise: "Junior, you're being too polite, aren't you?"
Jiang Yumeng's face flushed slightly, seemingly embarrassed. She moved behind Gu Fan, hiding half of her body, and said shyly, "No, no, this is my first time meeting everyone. Consider this a small gift."
So cute!
The same thought simultaneously arose in everyone's mind.
Such a cute girl, one punch and she'd cry for a long time, right?
Without a doubt, Jiang Yumeng won everyone's favor as soon as she arrived.
The meeting proceeded normally, with everyone introducing themselves and the team leader and other veteran members introducing some things about the team.
The number of new recruits exceeded expectations, so the team decided to conduct two rounds of assessments to ultimately decide who would stay.
Of course, before the assessment, experienced team members will provide them with one-on-one training.
Gu Fan was naturally paired with Jiang Yumeng.
The male team members who had originally wanted to invite Jiang Yumeng to witness this scene were immediately disappointed.
Well, we really can't compete with Gu Fan's influence on the team!
Some girls felt the same way; seeing that the handsome Gu Fan had been taken, they immediately showed annoyed expressions, blaming themselves for being too slow.
Under Gu Fan's patient guidance, Jiang Yumeng has also grasped some basics.
Because of the high temperature, everyone's clothes were soaked with sweat in just over ten minutes.
Seeing how hard these newcomers were working, the male and female team leaders were very pleased.
"It's obvious that Xiao Gu and Xiao Jiang have a special relationship!" Captain Long said with some surprise, looking at the man and woman sparring not far away.
Zhang Cai, standing nearby, laughed and said, "What's wrong, Captain? You didn't fall in love with that girl at first sight, did you?"
Team Leader Long's face darkened: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Haha, I forgot our captain is henpecked," Zhang Cai said with a teasing expression.
This team leader has family members, and they are family members of very high status.
“Junior Jiang likes Gu Fan, and Junior Gu Fan probably likes her too, but they don’t seem to be officially together yet,” Zhang Cai explained.
"Oh? So it seems that the two most handsome guys on our team are going to find love at the same time?" Long said with some surprise.
Zhang Cai: ...
Around six o'clock, Gu Fan left early because he had to attend a class get-together that evening, and Jiang Yumeng went with him.
This made everyone realize that something was wrong with the two of them.
On the way, Gu Fan looked at the girl, who was drenched in sweat, and asked with concern, "Are you tired?"
Jiang Yumeng smiled sweetly at him: "It was a little tiring at first, but I like this feeling."
Especially the feeling of being with you.
Gu Fan smiled and said, "Ball sports are quite physically demanding, so make sure to eat plenty of nutritious food."
"Okay!"
