"Lin Xiao serves."
This gym isn't your average gym; it's owned by the Li family. So, the number of young women coming to watch has increased dramatically.
Where there are boys, there will be beautiful girls—that statement is absolutely true, like right now...
"Hey, who is that person? Why is he so high and mighty? He's the captain of both teams."
He actually agreed to compete against a kid, a kid he'd never even heard of!
"Yeah, everyone knows Li Yanchen has a terrible temper, and Xiao Qi is a germaphobe. Does he think he's got too much of a life to live? How could he go up there like that?"
"That's really strange. But that boy is so handsome. I wonder if he has a girlfriend!"
Lin Xiao smiled. When did he become so charming? But someone else doesn't seem to be so quiet, does he?
Seeing his junior being discussed so thoroughly made Xiao Qi a little displeased. When did the boy learn to put his arm around Xiao Qi's shoulder right under his nose?
"Five to zero."
...
Tennis itself isn't the key; the key is that the coach wants the players to trust each other, nothing more. But there are times when they disagree.
"Hey old man, are you kidding me? You're over 30 years old, why are you acting like a kid and participating in a competition? Aren't you ashamed of yourself!"
"Tch, what's shameful about it? You're the same way. Who says esports can't have older coaches?"
Enough with the nonsense, I'm here to see my teenagers!
Lin Xiao appeared before everyone carrying a tennis racket, looking at the two people in front of him with a sigh, and gazing longingly at his captain.
"Captain, do we really have to train with the coach? After all, the regional competition is about to start. Time..."
With the end of the school-wide ranking competition, the higher goal was naturally set for this year's city-wide competition, followed by the national competition and the international competition.
He really doubted the purpose of these two old men causing trouble.
The old man picked up the juice Lin Xiao had just poured for him, which he hadn't even had a chance to drink yet, and drank it down without a care in the world. The shrewdness in his eyes had already seen right through them.
"Hey old man, that's my drink!"
"Did your captain tell you that besides competitions, your academic performance also needs to be good?"
"Oh no, really? Going to school is bad enough, why do we have to go to class after coming out?"
Wu Ke pitifully tugged at his captain's sleeve, staring at Li Yanchen with what he considered his most charming and coquettish gaze, hoping to get the captain to grant him immunity from being shot.
"Captain, I know you're the best. Our team doesn't need tutoring, right? Plus, look at my grades, they're not bad either!"
Bai Jin, a data fanatic, is also outspoken, so he didn't approve of Wu Ke lying at all and "kindly" corrected his mistake.
"Wu Ke, a first-year student at Beicheng High School, is a King-level player. He was admitted despite his exceptional skills, but his academic performance ranks fourth from the bottom in his class."
Wu Ke was furious. She jumped to Bai Jin's side and bared her teeth and claws, showing him her displeasure.
"Hey, hey, hey, what? How did you know? Even the captain didn't know. What are you talking about? Humph!"
Bai Jin paused again: "According to the information, he is not unaware of you, he just doesn't want to get involved."
Wu Ke was furious, annoyed that the bespectacled guy was talking to him like that. What was he thinking? He was a player at the King rank, so what if his performance was a little bad? That was too much!
In the end, Wu Ke and the others compromised and agreed to the old man's arrangement: five people per team.
Two teams were just about to decide for themselves who would help whom, when they heard two voices.
"Wait a minute, I'll tutor Lin Xiao."
Xiao Qi put down his pen, his eyes cold as he glanced at the man who had spoken almost at the same time.
What's wrong with this guy? Why does he have to argue with him about everything? Did he owe him something in his past life?
"Hey, what do you mean? Why do you always have to argue with me about everything? When we were little, you had so many chocolates, but you always had to snatch the biggest one from my hand."
Now that we're older, we make the same friends, and you're trying to take that from me too?
Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow. He didn't plan to intervene because he knew that the more he said, the more likely he was to be wrong. The only way to avoid trouble was to quietly do his job.
Unfortunately, the good days didn't last long; he misunderstood.
Xiao Qi tugged at his tie, feeling a bit stuffy, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the boy's smug expression. Was he being too smug?
"Don't be so smug. You know your own grades. No games or dungeons tonight. Just focus on your studies."
Zhang Ruomin arrived at the scene as soon as possible; it was already evening, but she was glad she made it in time.
Panting, she looked at the group of teenagers before her. After surveying the area, she finally found the person she was looking for.
She exclaimed with delight, "X God, I'm so glad to finally meet you! I'm not late this time, am I?"
Xiao Qi was about to say something to the boy while holding the tutoring materials when a girl's loud voice came from the side, which made him a little unhappy.
He raised his head and said coldly, "Who are you?"
Luo Xuan, who had remained silent, was actually feeling a little guilty. He wondered if the captain knew that he was the one who had revealed their training location.
But that's not wrong either; their training location is even listed on their official website!
"Why don't you remember me? I'm Jiang Yuanyuan's best friend. My name is Zhang Ruomin."
I heard you can register online for the official team selection, I'd like to try it too, but I don't know...
Xiao Qi disagreed with her statement because he had never announced this information, so he rejected it without thinking.
“I didn’t say those things, Zhang, you’ve got the wrong team.”
Li Yanchen was somewhat surprised by Xiao Qi's attitude towards girls; he was surprisingly ruthless.
But the hint of tenderness in his eyes when he was dealing with that boy named Lin Xiao couldn't fool him.
"Oh, no way! Ah Xuan said that you guys need a female anchor here, and that I'm pretty suitable, so I came over."
I kept thinking, and the thought that Ah Qi was here gave me even more confidence, but now…”
Zhang Ruomin blinked her eyes, which were a little red from being frightened by Xiao Qi's roar, her pretty face looking quite pretty.
He looked at Luo Xuan, then at Xiao Qi, seemingly at a loss, wanting to explain that he hadn't come on purpose.
Having received the look from his boss, Luo Xuan knew exactly what his boss meant, so he immediately cowered and said timidly.
"I... I just blurted it out because Goddess Ruomin kept looking at that poster. It really wasn't intentional."
