Chapter 27 Competition (Part 2)

After a short break in the middle of the game, the second half of the game began.

Shen Yuan had just stuffed a piece of mung bean cake into her mouth when she happened to meet the eyes of Princess Kang Le who turned around. Not knowing how to react, she subconsciously curled her eyes and smiled.

Unexpectedly, Princess Kangle also smiled back and nodded to her.

This was just a small episode and Shen Yuan didn't take it seriously. He just thought that the princess was quite approachable.

But after a while, someone came and brought Shen Yuan two plates of snacks.

"Hello, Miss Shen. This is the honey pancake and golden ham pancake our princess sent to you."

"For me?"

The princess's maid smiled and said, "Yes, it's for you, Miss Shen."

Shen Yuan was quite confused. He had no idea why the princess sent him snacks. It couldn't be because he just smiled at her, right?

Shen Yuan thinks that he looks okay, but not to the point where everyone likes him...

"Thank you, Princess, for your gift."

Seeing Shen Yuan's confused look, He Ying quickly thanked him. No matter what the reason was, she had to accept the gift from the princess.

At his sister-in-law's reminder, Shen Yuan also thanked her and said that he would eat well.

After the maid who brought snacks left, He Ying wanted to ask about Princess Shen Yuan, but before she found a chance to ask, she was stopped by the ladies nearby and started talking to them.

All the mistresses in the house were very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. As soon as the maidservant beside the princess arrived, they all stared at her. When they heard that the princess had specially sent some snacks to the young lady from the Shen family, their looks changed even more.

I was thinking in my heart, is it possible that the Shen family is going to have great fortune?

Anyway, this was not the place to ask questions, so He Ying stopped asking Shen Yuan what he thought and instead focused on dealing with the ladies around her.

Yan Siyu also asked curiously: "Yuanyuan, why is the princess sending you snacks?"

"I want to know, too." Shen Yuan picked up a ham and gold pancake and handed it to Yan Siyu, then stuffed a piece into his own mouth. He turned around and saw his sister-in-law and aunt. Mrs. Yan was already "surrounded" by curious people, so he didn't let them have snacks together for the time being.

"I didn't know the princess before, you know. Maybe she thought I was pretty, or maybe I looked like an old friend of hers... That's not what's written in the novels."

The princess' snacks were indeed more delicious than theirs. Shen Yuan and Yan Siyu ate half of them one after another, at least thinking of leaving some for their sister-in-law and the others.

Shen Yuan was just talking nonsense, but Yan Siyu actually felt that there was some truth in it.

"You are really good-looking. If I were a man, I could get engaged to your family, hehe." While saying this, he touched Shen Yuan's little face.

Shen Yuan also followed up her words and said nonsense: "Yes, it's a pity that you are a girl, otherwise your parents, my father and my sister-in-law are all here today, and the marriage can be settled."

After saying this, they both burst into laughter again.

"Kang Le, why do you always look back?" The Queen saw that Princess Kangle had glanced back three times, so she also looked back curiously, but found nothing.

"Nothing, just saw a cute little girl."

"Little girl? Whose little girl? Ask her to come over and sit down."

"No need. It would be bad to scare her." As she spoke, Princess Kangle glanced at Shen Yuan again, and happened to see her put a piece of honey-fried food into her mouth. Then, she talked to the little girl next to her with a beaming smile, as if she wanted her to try it too because it was delicious.

The pear apples on the cheeks are filled with joy, making people feel sweet at the sight.

It's just too small. Thinking of this, Princess Kangle frowned and felt a little distressed.

Xie Hui didn't expect his mother to act so quickly. He was "teaching" his father on the spot how to avoid other people's "shovels" on the court later.

"I think you're worrying too much. Who dares to shovel your father?"

Xie Yuan also nodded, "Xiao Anzi is right. Besides, when your father was young..."

"Father, you are about to reach the age of knowing the destiny." Xie Hui interrupted his father expressionlessly. At first he wanted his father to be the goalkeeper, but his father was unwilling and said that since he was on the field, he just wanted to score goals.

"You are wrong. I see that my uncle is still as handsome as ever, and he looks like he has just turned thirty. Age doesn't mean anything."

"Very, very much. I just love to listen to what you say, Xiao Anzi."

Thank you for your reply. I am speechless. One dares to speak, and the other really dares to listen.

The first game ended with a score of 1-1. Just looking at the score, you might think this game was not very interesting, but it was not.

This just goes to show how evenly matched the two teams were, especially in the final stages of the game, when no one dared to breathe or take their eyes off the field, fearing that they would miss a goal if they were distracted for a moment.

There was a long period of leisure between the first and second games, which allowed the spectators to rest, eat, drink, and change clothes or go to the toilet.

Shen Yuan and Yan Siyu went to the far right of the stands and found Jiang Yunyi sitting there.

Shen Yuan saw that she was indeed wearing the Haitang swing that they had bought together last time.

"Sister Yunyi looks really good today."

Yan Siyu also leaned close to Jiang Yunyi's ear and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "I wonder if He Dalang will be in the mood for the competition later."

"You guys are always making fun of me. I'm waiting for the day when you get engaged."

Yan Siyu was not shy at all, instead she smiled and said, "Hey, then you have to ask my mother when she plans to arrange an engagement for me."

After the three of them had a good laugh, Jiang Yunyi started talking about his worries.

"I'm really worried. I think that ball is very scary. If it hits me..."

"Most people can't kick the ball that hard, so don't worry, Sister Yunyi."

"I know, Yunyi, this is called caring too much and causing confusion."

…

The second game started. As soon as the players from both teams entered the field, Shen Yuan saw Xie Hui, the leader of the black team.

"Yuanyuan, that's my brother. He's the third one in white clothes and the darkest one."

Shen Yuan couldn't help laughing when he heard Yan Siyu's words. He shifted his gaze away from Xie Hui and turned to look at the team in white uniforms.

Hmm... her skin color looks darker than the person next to her, but not particularly dark.

"My mother said that my brother became like this because he ate too much soybeans when she was pregnant with him."

"That guy over there must be He Dalang, I see he has a red strip of cloth tied around his arm."

"Yes. He is much whiter than my brother."

Compared with the dark and strong Yan family's eldest son, this He eldest son looked thinner, but he was tall and handsome, and Shen Yuan felt a little more comfortable.

Well... I'm not good-looking enough to be with Sister Yunyi.
