When Zizhou met up with Ai Jiangtu and the others, they noticed that there was one person missing from the team.
"Where's Mo Fan?"
Zhao Manyan sat lazily on the sofa at one side, with a helpless tone in his voice.
"He was so excited when he arrived that I don't know where he ran off to."
Zizhou understood everything as soon as he heard it. It seemed that Mo Fan couldn't sit still and went out to play. However, Mo Fan had many female friends, so he didn't know if he went to play with any of them. Besides, Mu Ningxue was still here, but Mo Fan didn't even try to restrain himself.
"When will he come back?"
Ai Jiangtu did know something.
"Mo Fan sent me a message earlier saying that he would be back before the opening match."
After getting the accurate information, everyone was not so worried anymore. Teacher Feng Li is no longer excited now. Zizhou's return is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for mentor Feng Li. He now has plenty of manpower to arrange and doesn't have to worry about the upcoming competitions at all.
As a mentor, he was the first person to know about Zizhou's breakthrough, and now he is stable.
"Okay, you guys should take a rest first. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony. You should prepare well. There will be an opening match tomorrow. I don't know if we will get the lottery. You should be mentally prepared first."
"Yes!"
After all the instructors had left, Zizhou began to ask the two extra people in the team.
"Mu Nujiao? And Dongfang Lie?"
Zizhou really didn’t know that there was an extra person in the team. Although he didn’t say it just now, as a member of the team, he still had to ask.
Ai Jiangtu sat nearby and explained the reason to Zizhou.
It turned out that Instructor Feng Li decided to add new people temporarily based on the competition system, but they all passed the trial. After all, their team would not accept trash. And Mo Fan highly recommends it.
Mu Nujiao and Dongfang Lie were still very nervous. Before they came, they were told by the elders of the family that they must not offend Qin Zizhou no matter who in the team, otherwise the family would not be able to protect them.
So when Zizhou looked at them, they were like good kids, sitting there and trying to express their attitude with actions.
Everyone was amused by the appearance of these two people.
"Hahaha, you don't have to be like this. Zizhou is very easy to talk to. We are from the same school, and you all know that as long as you don't do anything out of line, Zizhou basically won't say anything. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Zizhou. As a teammate, Zizhou is happy to share his experience, right, Zizhou?"
Zizhou nodded in agreement with Zhao Manyan's words and smiled gently.
"Don't be nervous. Lao Zhao is right. We are all on the same team. It is only when everyone is doing well that things are truly good. I hope we can work together to win the championship this time and bring glory to our country!"
"Okay!"*12
Amid everyone's anticipation, the second day's opening ceremony is about to begin.
Just before the start, Mo Fan finally came back. When he saw Zizhou, he excitedly went forward and hugged Zizhou.
"Zizhou, you're finally back. I was so worried that you wouldn't come back. Now it's all right. We can finally compete together."
Zizhou had already noticed that Mo Fan came to hug him, but Zizhou did not refuse. Instead, Ai Jiangtu pulled Mo Fan away and told Mo Fan with his eyes: The one you want to hug is over there!
Ai Jiangtu was looking at Mu Ningxue, and Mu Ningxue also saw what was going on between them. She blushed and moved to the side, expressing her refusal with her actions.
In the end, Ai Jiangtu was gloating as he watched Mo Fan suffer a setback. Even Zhao Manyan and the others were laughing behind him.
When the official draw took place, it was Ai Jiangtu who went up. Their opponent was the Japanese team, the Japanese National Government team led by the self-righteous Shao Hegu. Moreover, the opposing team was very happy to see that their opponent was the Chinese National Government team.
In this opening match, mentor Feng Li did not plan to let Zizhou go up. When he was making his selection, he also passed over Mu Tingting, Nan Rongni, Zu Jiming and others. They did not dare to raise any objections, which aroused Zizhou's curiosity.
You know, these people can't wait to play in every game, so it's strange that they don't talk now.
Zhao Manyan obviously saw Zizhou's confusion and took the initiative to tell him what had happened before.
It turned out that Mu Tingting and Nan Rongni had been looking for trouble with Mu Ningxue before, wanting her to quit the National Team. Not only was they discovered by Mo Fan, they were also frozen by Mu Ningxue and were directly punished by Instructor Feng Li. Zu Jiming was foul-mouthed and insisted on getting involved with Mu Tingting and the others, so he was also punished by Instructor Feng Li.
It seems that the punishment for these people was too light, but they have already been punished, and the matter is over, and Zizhou will not bring it up again.
Besides, Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue has already taken revenge on her own, so what else is there to worry about?
