"I'm applying."
When serving the next ball, Chen Yiteng suddenly raised his hand, indicating that he wanted to stop talking.
"approve."
With the referee's gesture, the match indeed stopped, and everyone looked at her, wondering what insightful opinion she was about to offer.
"The photographer kept changing positions, which affected my judgment of the opponent's position and the ball's landing point. Therefore, I asked the photographer to lock onto one position for shooting."
"Approved." The referee nodded.
But Gu Man's expression clearly turned sour.
She was already very light to avoid disturbing their match.
These competitions are all fenced off, so no one can go in and interfere. Taking photos from such a distance has a negligible impact on the game.
Moreover, even if she doesn't move, the noise from the audience around her is clearly not small.
Can you guarantee that the audience will sit there and not move at all?
She was clearly frustrated by the stalemate and took it out on me, the photographer.
"Gu Man." Zhou Chu had already jumped over the fence and walked to Gu Man's side: "Don't bother with her."
He said it very softly because he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
After all, the contestants should be the priority. Even if things get out of hand, the most likely outcome is that Gu Man will be asked to leave.
If it gets any worse, they might be blacklisted by the school's table tennis association, which would prevent them from filming table tennis matches.
Gu Man nodded, patted his shoulder, and glanced at Chen Yiteng with disdain, looking down on him.
"You can definitely win!"
The voice was loud enough that almost everyone present could hear it.
Chen Yiteng's expression changed noticeably, but he couldn't say anything. He could only bite his lip and lean forward even more.
The game continued.
Fifteen minutes later.
Zhou Chu could clearly see that Gao Qinyi's forehead was covered in sweat.
Very glistening and very large beads of sweat.
But because she was so focused, she didn't notice the beads of sweat on her forehead that were about to fall.
From this angle, she has a unique charm that befits an athletic woman.
If you are tall, you will play table tennis with more grace and elegance, and when you stretch out, you will look like a bird spreading its wings.
Chen Yiteng on the other side was at most like a sparrow fluttering about.
The difference is very obvious.
Zhou Chu raised his hand, called for a pause, and then picked up a towel to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
The other one is for wiping the table, since water droplets on the ping-pong table will undoubtedly cause a refraction problem.
"Sister Qin, do you think we can still win?"
They've already lost three in a row.
The score was 11-4 in the first game, 11-7 in the second game, and 11-6 in the third game.
This game was also a 4-2 disadvantage for the team.
Zhou Chu felt a distinct sense of powerlessness, as if he were asking a kindergartener to beat up a college student.
It's entirely a difference in strength.
"Of course!" Gao Qinyi didn't care about being a lady anymore and wiped her face with a towel. "Even if we lose, we can't let them win so easily."
It was obvious that Chen Yiteng's expression was becoming increasingly arrogant, and it was indeed necessary to find a way to curb her arrogance.
He looked back at Li Qiuran.
Li Qiuran instantly understood.
He raised his hand.
All the onlookers shouted, "Gao Qinyi and Zhou Chu will win!"
If we were to call out "School of Foreign Languages," those outside the school probably wouldn't join in.
When it comes to individual idols, the cohesion is unexpectedly strong.
Of course, this kind of dominance can also become a problem at times, especially when he crashes or burns.
Even many students from the opposite college started shouting.
Even if someone shouts "Mizutani will win", no one shouts "E-Teng will win".
This clearly shows just how bad Chen Yiteng's interpersonal relationships are.
Chen Yiteng was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched.
That's the effect I want. As long as I can break her mentality, there might still be a chance in this round.
Gao Qinyi looked at Zhou Chu.
She's so smart, she must know how important Zhou Chu's role is.
She couldn't believe that Li Qiuran, whom she had known for so many years, could be so clever, even clever enough to know how to eliminate an opponent through atmosphere.
"Let's take down our opponent in one fell swoop," Chen Yiteng whispered in Sun Shuigu's ear.
Zhou Chu definitely couldn't hear clearly, but if you look closely at her lip movements, it's not hard to tell.
As expected, Chen Yiteng was holding his breath and hit the ball very hard.
Zhou Chu only needs to slightly change his technique and force to send the ball flying.
because--
After observing him just now, he has figured out Chen Yiteng's playing style!
After all, losing a game isn't a complete waste.
Gao Qinyi looked over with some surprise, seemingly taken aback by Zhou Chu's victory.
But she quickly came to terms with it.
This is the real Chu Chu. It would be strange if Chu Chu wasn't this smart.
Although Zhou Chu and Gao Qinyi both gave it their all.
The final outcome remains unchangeable.
After battling for three match points, Zhou Chu's shot ultimately went wide.
4:0
They have undoubtedly been eliminated.
Gao Qinyi lay on the bench behind her, flipping through the super long vlog that Gu Man had filmed for them.
Professionals are professionals; you really have to admire them.
I definitely couldn't take a picture of this quality myself.
"Finished looking?" Gu Man reached out, took the camera, but didn't retract her hand. "Payment?"
Looking into Gao Qinyi's eyes, she shamelessly continued, "The photoshoot yesterday was a summary of your modeling fees. Now that you've asked me to be your photographer, of course I need to be paid! Otherwise, my photographer friends will probably laugh at me for becoming cheap labor!"
"What kind of reward do you want?" Gao Qinyi squinted her eyes: "You know, our couple's account is just starting out, and there's hardly any profit yet."
“I don’t want money.” Gu Man shook her head, held up one finger, and said with a profound look, “I want to become your personal photographer. In the future, if it’s an outdoor shoot, I must be the one to take the photos for you. You can’t use anyone else.”
“Of course.” Gu Man said as if she hadn’t finished speaking: “If it’s a home video, I won’t go. After all, it’s easy to film some things that can’t be said but are extremely explosive.”
"Go to hell," Gao Qinyi said with a laugh.
But this also means that she agreed.
If they win this match, they will undoubtedly have another game in the afternoon, but if they lose, it means they will have to go home.
So, after taking a summary-like photo at the table tennis hall, the two of them went out to ride their motorcycles home.
They had barely stepped out of the stadium when they were stopped by a middle-aged man they didn't recognize.
He looks like an unemployed bum.
Generally speaking, the most likely reason for this kind of unemployed person appearing in a sports stadium is a physical education teacher who has nothing better to do.
Because university physical education classes are different from high school classes, many students are unwilling to attend, which leads to physical education teachers having a lot of free time.
"I'm the physical education teacher in charge of table tennis. If I told you now that you could play a few more matches, would you want to participate?"
The voice was somewhat low, and although it was a question, it didn't imply much discussion.
It's as straightforward as if you can go if you want to, or not go if you don't want to.
Zhou Chu's first reaction was, of course,...
He looked at Gao Qinyi.
This is something she needs to make the decision about.
"Tell me about it." Gao Qinyi thought it over carefully, but still didn't refuse.
It wasn't because she particularly liked table tennis, nor did she particularly enjoy table tennis matches.
It's just that I don't want to lose so humiliatingly.
Who knows, they might be able to face Chen Yiteng and Sun Shuigu again through another path.
Zhou Chu had already guessed her answer.
Who can blame her for always being such a competitive person?
She was so assertive that she refused to admit defeat, which was one of the reasons Zhou Chu liked her.
"Alright." The PE teacher raised his head, carefully looked Gao Qinyi up and down, and showed an appreciative expression. He continued, "We have a mixed doubles pair here who didn't have a match because their opponent didn't come. They might be able to advance successfully."
"If you can defeat them, I can guarantee your resurrection."
"Isn't this a bit much to revive them?" Zhou Chu couldn't help but interject before Gao Qinyi could speak. "The fact that they got a bye is a kind of strength, and they're probably already celebrating. If we suddenly go over there and say we want to fight you for a spot, isn't that...?"
"No." The PE teacher calmly took out the ping-pong tournament flyer in his hand and pointed to a line of text on it.
The design is very flashy, with a dragon drawn on the ping-pong ball that curves out of the air.
But in the black text, where he was pointing, there was indeed a line of small print.
The last line, a few small words:
The right of interpretation belongs to the School of Physical Education.
"See this?" The PE teacher slowly put away the flyer. "We decide everything. If we say we'll have an extra game, then we'll have an extra game. I'll be the bad guy and say I dragged you here. You can't escape it."
Gao Qinyi hesitated for a moment, then clearly bit her lip.
My lips were already covered with a thin layer of dry skin from playing ball.
Zhou Chu's obsessive-compulsive disorder was about to flare up from seeing this.
I really wanted to lick all those upturned parts down with my tongue.
If you can't lick them off, bite them all off with your teeth.
Anyway, it's Gao Qinyi's lips, so it doesn't matter what.
There was a faint layer of teeth marks on his lips.
“Okay.” Gao Qinyi nodded.
She still felt very guilty.
After all, this also means that the opponent's dream has been shattered.
But if they allow their opponents to dream of a rematch, their desire for another decisive battle will be shattered.
"Okay, I didn't misjudge you." The PE teacher nodded approvingly, then turned to Zhou Chu with a look of disdain.
It was as if he couldn't quite understand why such an outstanding girl would be with him.
"When I participated in the competition, my coach once told us that it's all about winning and losing, it's that simple."
"Hmm." Gao Qinyi nodded, but in fact she didn't listen at all.
She was figuring out how to win without wasting the opportunity.
These stories about older people's past are best listened to, or not listened to at all.
She could almost guess the final theme.
"Okay." The PE teacher could tell they weren't really interested in listening to his story, so he had to stop.
He had originally come up with a very long story that would highlight his glorious and great image!
"My name is Liu Liangguo."
Zhou Chu nodded.
This person is undoubtedly fat.
At first, however, because they were surprised by the sudden arrival of the person, they overlooked his size.
It's hard to imagine that he used to play table tennis, a delicate and small ball sport.
This looks like something like shot put.
"Come with me."
The two then re-entered the table tennis hall.
Of course, this couple, who had just caused a sensation, remained the absolute center of attention after entering.
Regardless of whether they were from the School of Foreign Languages or not, many people followed them.
Finally, they stopped in front of a platform where a man and a woman were practicing arm wrestling.
Liu Liangguo stopped them with a serious expression.
"After careful consideration, our sports academy has decided to give you an opponent so that your advancement will be more convincing," Liu Liangguo said.
But Zhou Chu knew perfectly well that everything he said was just an excuse, so he didn't pay any attention to it.
"You fucking..."
Before the male golfer could utter a curse, the much more refined female golfer interrupted him: "They're our opponents?"
This guy looks like he has some hooligan tendencies; he has a kind of thuggish vibe.
This girl, on the other hand, is quite well-behaved; judging by her appearance alone, she's definitely the type of student who's good at academics.
It's probably just another cliché story about a bad boy and a good girl.
"Watch your mouth, you little brat," Liu Liangguo said, grabbing a ping-pong paddle and pointing it at the male player's nose.
The male player was about to explode; his eyes were full of defiance.
But as more and more people gathered, and the physical education students surrounded him, he finally fell silent: "Okay."
Of course, this match is much easier than the last one.
The main weakness is very obvious: this female player is just too gentle.
The ball doesn't have much power when it's hit; if you slam it down, you won't be able to get it back.
Surprisingly, the male player, who looked like a thug and should have been about to lose his temper, didn't. Instead, he continued playing seriously and even comforted the female player.
This match ended relatively quickly.
In just twenty minutes, Gao Qinyi and Zhou Chu swept their opponents 4-1.
"Not bad." Liu Liangguo, who had been watching all this, naturally gave them a thumbs up after seeing them win.
Gao Qinyi completely ignored him.
Instead, she threw herself into Zhou Chu's arms!
That cool, refreshing feeling was on his chest.
Zhou Chu deliberately made a preliminary judgment that it was probably not sweat.
It was a tear!
She was so moved that she cried.
Zhou Chu gently stroked the ends of her hair and whispered in her ear:
"It's okay, we won."
